INDEX Delta man dies in rainy crashAnthony Abachiche, 25, of Delta was killed in an

auto accident Tuesday, Sept. 11, at about 2:30 p.m.The Colorado State Petrol reports that Abachiche

was traveling eastbound on Highway 50 at mile mark-er 54 near the Delta-Mesa county line. The weather was rainy and windy at the time. Abachiche lost control of his Volkswagen Passat on the wet roadway and went into the depressed median. He re-entered the highway in the westbound lanes and as his car was skidding broadside, the driver’s side was hit by a westbound Dodge pickup driven by Mitchel Dietrich, 25, of Grand Junction.

Abachiche died at the scene. Dietrich received minor injuries. He was not transported to a hospital.

Huffington seriously injured in accidentBonsall Huffi ngton, 80, of Delta was

seriously injured in an automobile crash that occurred the afternoon of Sept. 13 just north of Montrose.

According to the Colorado State Patrol, Verla Huffi ngton, 79, was east-bound on Highway 50 in a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville shortly after 3 p.m. Thurs-day. A 2004 Audi A4 driven by Myles Roop of Hotchkiss was also eastbound. For an unknown reason, Roop alleg-edly struck the right rear section of the Huffi ngtons’ Bonneville, causing the

vehicle to rotate, leave the left side of the roadway and enter the median.

Verla Huffi ngton was treated for minor injuries at Montrose Memorial Hospital. Bonsall Huffi ngton was taken to Montrose Memorial Hospital and then transferred to St. Mary’s Hospi-tal in Grand Junction, where he was reported to be in fair condition Tues-day. She was wearing a seat belt, he was not. Roop was uninjured. Alcohol, drugs and excessive speed have been ruled out as factors in the accident.

Susan Hansen has worked for Delta County for 23 years, 20 of those years as county administrator. She will leave that post Friday, Sept. 28.

The Board of County Com-missioners plans to have her work on occasional special projects in the future.

Jan McCracken, currently office manager for Internal Medicine at Delta County Memorial Hospital, served with Hansen for eight years as county clerk and record-er and eight years as county commissioner.

“Susan started out in plan-ning and was so pleasant, so positive and so full of ener-gy. When she became county administrator, the employees were glad to have her in that position. We saw her as being a good representative for all of us,” McCracken said.

“Susan was a wonderful resource to me. She helped me understand the county clerk’s budget, how it worked, how I could make it more efficient. She functioned as a mentor to me and I respected her and her opinion.”

From her broader view as a commissioner, McCracken said, “Susan really cares about the county and its people, its welfare, and she steered the county in a very conserva-tive fiscal way. She kept the reserves going and watched the dollars. Whenever there was a need, Susan showed the commissioners how to pay for that need.”

Current commissioner Doug Atchley also acknowl-edges Hansen’s fiscal care of county resources. “Susan’s leadership, her conservative style of management, has really paid dividends during these economic times,” he said. “The county has no debt. How many other counties can say that? It is a great fiscal ben-efit not having to pay inter-est on debt. It was Susan’s conservative guidance before the 2007 recession came to the forefront that keeps our cost of doing business less now. We continue to provide services to the people of Delta County. There have been cuts, but they have been equitable and fair and have provided value to the taxpayer.”

McCracken says Susan never stops thinking, is always searching for ways to make things better, whether it’s the budget, city planning, land development or good elections. She wants to be certain what-ever is put forth is the very best it can be. “Susan consults good sources. She is always well prepared, giving writ-ten information to the county commissioners and clerk and recorder (who records com-missioner meetings). She has been our source for history on issues. She knows where to find details,” McCracken said.

“I have often wondered, ‘How does she remember all this?’ Her memory is incred-ible. There will be a huge vac-uum without her memory.”

Before his retirement as

president of Wells Fargo Bank and before being elected as a commissioner, Doug Atch-ley worked with and observed Susan from the bank’s per-spective. He attended numer-ous Board of County Commis-sioners meetings. He admired how she conducted herself with the many different com-missioners and a wide range of the community. “She has a great ability to work with all types of people.

“She is a great listener, always has a thoughtful sug-gestion, a unique ability to involve the thought process of people and the ability to calm

people down. She is compe-tent and has the ability to get things done,” said Atchley.

“The work Susan did in coordinating and mediating with the North Fork Coal Working Group is a notewor-thy accomplishment,” he said. “The situation was so divisive, so contentious.”

Both McCracken, who was a commissioner in 2006, and Atchley, who remembers the occasion well, think one of Delta County’s finest occasions was the recognition of Susan Hansen as County Adminis-trator of the Year by Colorado Counties, Inc. The recognition

was from her peers, many of whom had sought her advice on their problems in their counties. McCracken said in giving her the award, Susan’s Delta County officials and other county officials through-out the state were acknowl-edging the work Susan had done with counties, her wealth of wisdom, her logical mind, how she dissects “where we are and where we want to go” and her humble attitude of “I just did what I was supposed to do.”

An influx of about 70 Karen and Karenni students of all ages has pushed enrollment in Delta County Joint School Dis-trict #50 onto the plus side for 2012-13. Without those stu-dents, who recently relocated to Delta with their refugee families, enrollment would be down across the district. As it is, assistant superintendent Kurt Clay noted, numbers dropped in every community but Delta.

Garnet Mesa and Lincoln elementary schools not only have more students, they have also seen an increase in the number of students who do not speak English as their first language. Clay said the school district has identified a total of 249 elementary students who

do not speak English at all or have limited English language skills. For that reason, two additional ELL (English Lan-guage Learners) teachers have been hired, one to supplement existing staff at each school.

Enrollment in Cedaredge, Paonia and Hotchkiss is down overall. At first glance, it would appear that many stu-dents in Paonia and Hotchkiss transitioned to the North Fork Vision program, but that’s not the case, Clay said. Vision’s increase of 22 is due in large part to students from neigh-boring school districts, most of whom were previously home-schooled.

Some Paonia High School students are taking advantage of a new alternative educa-tion program which operates under the umbrella of Delta

Opportunity School. Clay said the DOS student count of 98 includes about 18 North Fork students who are attending the North Fork Alternative School located on the Paonia campus of Delta-Montrose Technical College.

The enrollment figures are considered unofficial until the statewide student count in early October. Those enroll-ment numbers are the basis for the state funding which provides nearly 60 percent of the school district’s operating revenue.

The district budget was developed using the same enrollment numbers as last year, so if the increase contin-ues to hover around 50 or so students, the school district will receive additional revenue of about $325,000.

In addition to their term limits ballot question, the county commissioners have placed a second question on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.

The commissioners want to find out how voters think about using money from impact fees on new development to help pay for county roads, public safety and public health and human services.

“We want to let the voters decide,” said Commissioner Doug Atchley.

The county government already has legislative author-ity to impose impact fees, explained Susan Hansen, county administrator. But the complicating twist to this bal-lot question is that the coun-ty needs voter permission to keep and spend any money it might collect from impact fees. The question essentially seeks to “De-bruce” revenue from any and all impact fees the county may in future decide to impose.

The Taxpayer Bill of Rights Amendment to the state Con-stitution (TABOR) requires the voters’ approval. Other-

wise, any new government revenue raised from impact fees could not be kept and spent by the government, and it would have to be given back to the voters.

Three years ago the county completed a study of growth impacts on county facilities. The study was needed so that the county could demonstrate there is an actual need for impact fee money.

The county has not adopted impact fees and is not collect-ing money from them now. If voters approve the Nov. 6 mea-sure and allow government to keep and spend impact fees, the commissioners will likely adopt fees soon thereafter.

From 2005 through 2010 vot-ers “De-bruced” (i.e., allowed the county to keep and spend) certain property tax revenue for use only in road building. It was revenue that otherwise would have been returned to voters through a lower mill levy. That program, which the commissioners decided not to ask voters to renew, has expired. It collected up to $2 million per year for county road improvement work. An impact fee for roads would be

LETTERSLETTERSPeople are pigsDear Editor:

My wife and I just returned from a camp-ing trip up Anthracite Creek near Kebler Pass. We were both enraged to find so much trash in the area. There are completely abandoned camps with all of the tents, tarps, food bags, etc., left on the site. All of the campgrounds are littered with junk. Peo-ple seem to believe that beer cans and aluminum foil disappear in a fire like magic, when they actually make unsightly slag. In some well-used areas there are large bags of trash left behind as well as batteries, fuel bottles, old stoves and stove pipe. I know that hunters, fishermen, and campers do a lot for the North Fork economy, but they also leave a tremen-dous amount of trash for everyone else to endure.

Not only are the for-ests trashy but also areas surrounding Paonia, Hotchkiss, and Crawford. Crawford Road (also known as the backroad between Crawford and Paonia) is a dumping ground for beer bottles, old washing machines, and other junk that jerks can’t take to a landfill or a dumpster.

Conditions such as these are why Mr. and Mrs. Libertarian of Delta

County are wrong. If everyone followed com-mon sense and treated neighbors with the Gold-en Rule we would have no need for any governmen-tal laws and regulations. Unfortunately they don’t. People build chicken houses in absolutely the wrong areas and others junk up their yards and property and hide behind the “zoned agricultural” law. These are the people that force government to make laws.

In addition Mr. and Mrs. Do-gooders are not that helpful either. They pick easy targets such as “Big Oil” and scare every-one with what might happen and yet they do very little constructively. They are good at saying NO, such as no fracking, no gas drilling, etc. but I don’t see any of them saying NO, to no more junk or trash. How about supporting junk and zon-ing regulations in Delta County? These aren’t quite as easy a target as Big Oil but it would be much more helpful to the local populace. I might even consider join-ing one of these orga-nizations and contribut-ing money if they did something positive for a change, instead of just saying NO.

There was an article in the DCI on Aug. 8 about a group that came to town to pick up trash and partnered with NFRIA/WSERC. Why does NFRIA/WSERC have to wait to be asked to pick

up trash? How about a continuing commitment? How many members of NFRIA/WSERC have driven by the piles of beer bottles on Crawford Road and not stopped to clean them up? Do the members of these orga-nizations have to receive recognition in the news-paper before they take action?

If anyone wants to be aware of a community organization that does outstanding work for the local populace, and yet is not always blow-ing their horn, check out the Ouray Hiking Trails Group. Every week there are members on the trail cutting trees and picking up trash. It is very inten-sive work with lots of physical labor involved. However, there are no newspaper articles that I am aware of, and very little other publicity. Just results.

I will challenge any-one, or group, to help me start to clean up some of the mess others have left. I will furnish pack animals and my labor for some of the harder to reach areas such as Anthracite Creek. I am sure others know of more local areas that need to be cleaned up.

We all need to pitch in and say yes to tak-ing care of our lands. If people are going to be pigs on our public lands, we need to at least clean it up.

Shame onDelta litterbugDear Editor:

Shame on the lady in the white car that pur-posely placed her empty coffee cup on the light pole at the Delta City Market on Saturday, Sept. 8. Yes you know who you are and I hope you feel guilty for doing it. The next time I catch you or anybody else purposely littering I will turn you in. I should have turned you in any-way but I threw away your trash for you. By the way, you are welcome. We have to live here and I for one don’t want to live with your trash.

Yes, it’s time for a changeDear Editor:

Every year my health insurance pays for my annual physical, which includes bloodwork. This year, however, my insur-ance denied three differ-ent bloodwork panels, the same tests that I have every year because my doctor thinks that, based on my personal and fam-ily health history, they are necessary.

When I received the claim statement from my insurance company, those three tests were marked

“Benefits ineligible under health care reform guide-lines.”

So I owe $228 for tests that have always been covered until our govern-ment, in its infinite wis-dom, created a monstrous health care reform bill that now tells my insur-ance company what it can and can’t cover.

It’s probably silly to be concerned about $228. That’s chicken feed next to the taxes that will start in 2014 and the $500 billion cut in Medicare, which are designated to pay for health care reform.

And those are insig-nificant compared to the fact that some panel of people who don’t know me or my doctor will be able to decide what care I can get.

To all of you who put this current government in power: please rethink your position. I’m tired of prolonged high unem-ployment numbers, gov-ernment intrusion into my healthcare, record numbers of people on food stamps, and failed stimu-lus bills. I resent that my hard-earned tax money was used to pay for mort-gages of people I’ve never met and to buy cars for strangers.

Join me in making a change.

Tour sheds light on Bear Ranch land exchangeDear Editor:

Recently, a friend and I took advantage of one of the Bear Ranch land exchange tours being offered to the public of the new proposed trails and trailhead at what is now called the Buck Creek Ranch. The gen-tlemen who gave us the tour were very friendly and I was impressed at how open they were to answering all of our questions.

Most people are aware that 99 percent of people who access the Ragged Mountain Trail do so either at McClure Pass on Highway 133 or at Forest Service Road 795 by the Erickson Springs campground off Kebler Pass. Both offer great views and access to a beautiful trail, but for someone of my age the trail is far too long to bike or hike from one end to the other. Thankfully, the proposed access off Buck Creek Ranch will make it possible for my wife and I to enjoy the beauty of this area in a much more convenient way.

To be honest, I didn’t know a lot about the exchange except for what

I read in the paper and heard in conversations, but I felt that before I made up my mind, I should see for myself what it is all about, and I am very glad I did.

The new proposed trails and trailhead offer magnificent views of the Ragged Mountains all the way up to the actual Ragged Mountain Trail itself. And because of improved access off Highway 133 I am sure many more people will be able to appreciate the beauty of this area first-hand.

After taking the time to see what’s being offered in the exchange, I am in full support of it.

An invitation to our leadersDear Editor:

As a constituent and active resident in Delta County, I am quite excit-ed about this county. Over the past 20 or so years we have seen a lot of change on the Western Slope and surrounding counties. There is a great opportunity to learn per-spectives of the changes that are happening. On Sept. 22, a conference will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Delta Performing Arts Center (the old middle school auditorium at 822 Grand Avenue). The county com-

missioners, as elected leaders of our counties, are urged to attend this conference. Candidates for upcoming elections are also urged to attend. The Sustainable Devel-opment Awareness Con-ference, including topics such as smart growth, our common future, green energy, public school education, etc., will be presented. The public is invited; reserve seating tickets are available for $8. Contact sales at 323-2152 or 874-9550.

Wow! Someone caresDear Editor:

A big, big thank you to Hotchkiss Mayor Wendell Koonts and the Hotchkiss trustees for voting to spray in Hotchkiss.

It was encouraging to watch all of our town offi-cials working together at the public meeting Sept. 5 at the Hotchkiss Town Hall.

They were not only concerned about the people in Hotchkiss, they knew the students of our schools in Hotchkiss real-ly needed protection from the mosquitoes.

Thank you again for caring. You are awesome!

Let’s get this country back to the basicsDear Editor:

I read the letter from a person who extolled the virtues of President Obama. I can’t help but wonder where this per-son has been for the last four years. Obama has softened our relations with our enemies (Egypt), and alienated our friends (Israel). Do those who still think Obama is THE man not see how his administration is in over its head, how another (third) stimulus is being worked out? The first two failed. How do you think this one will do better? I think they’re trying every scheme they can think of to keep control of the White House.

We need to get back to basics. This is a nation founded on principles. George Washington and his cabinet prayed for a nation to be under God, right where the twin towers were before our friends crashed into them. The nation’s capi-tol was New York City at that time.

And, let’s not forget we are a free nation, born with that in mind.

I’m not saying Mr. Romney is the man. I do feel if he keeps half of his promises, we may sur-vive. Our economy doesn’t need another stimulus.

Oh, last I heard, those who crashed into the

WTC were called ter-rorists. Softening their image in any way does not make the event of 9-11 any easier to take. these people in a coward-ly manner killed our peo-ple while they worked.

Don’t be a lemmingDear Editor:

There are numer-ous comments floating around that we have lost our country as we knew it or are in the process of doing so. Think about this: The U.S. Constitu-tion and federal courts are no longer viable con-cerns. Just examine the recent executive orders from the White House.Just about every con-cern that would require a congressional or judicial decree has been bypassed by an executive order. Does this mean “Let the King rule!”? Heaven for-bid, please.

Some are insinuating that the current admin-istration is the cause of this. If history is exam-ined you will find that for at least the last 50 years or more (and other iso-lated cases before that), executive orders have

been issued by nearly every president, regard-less of party. Just a grad-ual taking control by the executive branch and it is now climaxing.

I have been classed as an extreme radical for my thoughts but here are some anyhow. I say let’s go back to the late 1700s and start all over with the original intent of our Constitution and amend-ments. Throw ALL of the rascals out regardless of party and start afresh with stricter controls on our elected officials. Nul-lify and void numerous and various laws/regula-tions that have helped cause such a mess. Radi-cal thoughts, yes, but we have to do something.

Realistically what can we do? Vote intelligently and not be a lemming.

Account ofhistoric womenwas interestingDear Editor:

I enjoyed reading about the two powerful women of Delta (DCI Sept. 12). Another woman I would like to know more about is Laura Gilpin the pho-tographer and author. Apparently in the years from 1911 to 1915 she and her family lived some-where near Austin. She raised poultry there to support her photography. She later became famous for her southwestern landscapes and for her photographic studies of the Pueblo and Navajo Indians. If anyone knows anything about her time in Delta County, I would love to read about it.

Commissioner Lund should recuse himselfDear Editor:

There’s much more going on with this hen house issue than meets the eye. Someone has a dog in this fight, and it’s looking more and more like one of our county commissioners. The plaintiffs, in their Part 106(a)(4) lawsuit against the county, were grant-ed discovery powers by Judge Patrick to gather additional evidence con-cerning a potential con-flict of interest for the role Commissioner Lund played as the signatory for the $1.35 million Soil Health Initiative Grant, which relies heavily on soil amendments (more specifically dairy, beef and poultry manure). Commissioner Lund, the president of Painted Sky, signed the Soil Health Initiative Agreement in July 2011 and a month later approved two hen house operations. He has refused requests to provide minutes of sev-eral of the Painted Sky meetings leading up to his signing for the grant. Most recently it appears those minutes may have been “lost.”

In July, Judge Patrick invalidated the BoCC’s approval of the hen hous-es for lack of evidence

and abuse of discretion, and remanded it back to them for further review. A second public hearing was held Sept. 4 for the BoCC to gather addi-tional evidence prior to issuing a new decision on the two hen house appli-cations. Several inputs, one in writing and two presented orally to the commissioners, came from members of the Delta County Farm and Livestock Bureau. The Farm Bureau, nation-wide, is now probably the largest advocate, biggest financial supporter and lobbyist, on both state and federal levels, for industrial factory farm-ing today, much to the dismay of many of the small, traditional farm-ers and ranchers they are supposed to be rep-resenting. Mr. Chann Fogg, vice president of the Delta County Farm and Livestock Bureau board, submitted a letter advocating for the hen houses, and two rancher/farmer board members from Redlands Mesa spoke in favor of the hen houses saying they felt the operation was com-patible with current agri-cultural practices on Red-lands Mesa. Ironically, their testimony is actual-

ly seen as reinforcing the opponents’ position that Redlands Mesa has only low impact, traditional agriculture and that a high intensive confine-ment operation is totally incompatible with the neighborhood and should never be approved at its proposed location.

Here’s what’s very interesting. Commis-sioner Lund is the presi-dent of the Delta Coun-ty Farm and Livestock Bureau board. Hello?! Did he recuse himself from all discussions on the hen house topic with his board, as Mr. Fogg claims? At the hearing, Commissioner Lund had an obligation to disclose that a group under his leadership was advocat-ing publicly as a propo-nent for the hen houses, and he failed to do so. The situation presents YET another potential conflict of interest for Commissioner Lund, and in the interest of preserv-ing the integrity of the BoCC decision process, he must recuse himself from further participation in the entire hen house issue.

Stimulus plan has many benefitsDear Editor:

I was happy to read that Delta will be upgrading to fiber optics through cooperation with the Eagle-Net Alli-ance. In paragraph two of the 9/12 article, a $100 million federal grant is mentioned as the funding behind this nationwide push toward moderniza-tion. What readers may not realize is that this grant is one more compo-nent of the oft-maligned Obama stimulus plan.

Readers who are inter-ested to learn more about the hundreds of benefits

contained in the 2009 Recovery Act, but seldom publicly acknowledged, would enjoy reading the new book, “The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era” by Michael Grun-wald, published just last month. Grunwald, a Time Magazine reporter, spent two years researching this huge, complicated and far reaching piece of legislation. He also shines a spotlight on some of the people tasked with imple-menting the law.

The appearance of unexpected new evidence has once again delayed a preliminary hear-ing for Billy Kissner of Cedaredge, charged with second degree murder in the death of his wife, Rayelynn, at their home in 2010.

In a joint motion before Judge Sandra Miller, dis-trict attorney Dan Hot-senpiller and defense attorney R.L. Benjamin asked that Kissner’s hearing be delayed for a second time because of “new discovery” in the case.

The prosecution and defense are still evaluat-ing how the new evidence will affect their cases, Hotsenpiller said. “We are still talking about a lot of things,” he told Judge Miller. The new evidence involves “addi-tional statements.”

Benjamin added that the evidence is “wholly new information” in the case.

Kissner’s preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. Miller scheduled two hours to hear the matter.

A preliminary hearing is a criminal law proceed-ing that is held to deter-

mine whether there is probable cause to believe the defendant committed a crime within jurisdiction of the court. Therefore,

the appearance of wholly new evidence affecting the case is important to the defendant’s right to a fair trial.

Hansenappointed to serve a one-year term on Crawford town council in 1987. Susan was the town administrator/clerk, her salary paid by a grant. When the grant was over she remained as town clerk. After his one-year term, Crook was elected as mayor, a position in which he served for 24 years.

Crook said Susan was always doing something to improve things. She obtained a matching $500 grant from Kellogg Foundation and Colorado State University for the betterment of the town. Several Crawford people volunteered to help in the projects. They installed “Welcome to Crawford Country” signs at three entrances to the town and sent the Crawford newsletter to residents

in the North Fork Valley. Susan led the effort in getting the three towns to work together to estab-lish and improve a North Fork trail network.

“Susan knew about a county job that opened,” Crook said. “She felt bad about leaving Crawford but the town was small and couldn’t offer the sal-ary the county could.

“She is a wonderful source of information. I always called Susan Han-sen when I had questions about some matter and she would set me straight. At the county and munic-ipal quarterly meetings, where we would priori-tize grant monies and discuss county-municipal issues, Susan explained the information very well.”

Crawford recently had to decide what to do about the town hall building: renovate it, leave it as it is or sell it. Community meetings were held to discuss the options.

“Susan loves the old school, loves Crawford and was at all the meet-ings. At one brainstorm-ing meeting, a commit-tee was formed, Friends of Crawford Town Hall, and Susan was chosen

to chair that committee. The town put in $150,000, there are two anonymous gifts of $30,000 each and a third for $25,000, if a commercial kitchen is part of the renovation. The Colorado Histori-cal Society granted us $106,000,” said Crook.

“With the money in hand we will do the work in phases, the first phase will replace all windows and doors and the second phase will cover the rest of it — electrical, kitch-en, bathrooms, and will preserve one room as an original classroom.”

At the Old Timers Newcomers Dinner in February, Susan was pre-sented with ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award. She also picked up the ‘Non-profit of the Year’ award on behalf of Friends of Crawford Town Hall.

Although Susan Han-sen has spent her career as a public official, she is a very private person. She has firmly refused to let the county com-missioners or county staff host a retirement recep-tion for her. Individuals who wish to thank her for her service or wish her well will need to do so on an individual basis.

Impact feeexpected to raise far less than the now-expired property tax program did

between 2005 and 2010.During a commission-

er discussion of impact fees in August last year,

officials speculated that, as example, a $35 mil-lion, 20-year bonded road building program would need a minimum of $1.7 million in annual reve-nues to finance. At that level, a $1,000-per-unit new development impact fee would require 1,700 new development units a year.

In 2001, the county’s highest level ever for new unit development, there were 235 that would have qualified for impact fee assessment. At $1,000 per unit, that number of units would raise $235,000, a far cry from the $2 mil-lion per year the county’s former property tax pro-gram brought in.

“We never expected that (an impact fee) would cover all our needs. It would be one more (rev-enue source) to have,” Hansen said.

As of a year ago, there were an estimated 1,200 undeveloped lots in the unincorporated county that impact fees could be assessed against.

The commissioners have not set an amount for their proposed impact fee, and there is no amount mentioned in the ballot question. If the ballot question is approved by voters the commissioners would set the fee by resolution and could change it when-ever deemed necessary. During last August’s dis-cussions, figures in the $1,900 to $5,000 per unit range were mentioned.

It is possible the coun-ty would also have to require some kind of a new development permit to serve as a point of assessment and collec-tion of fees.

65-year reunionThe Delta High School Class of 1947 had its 65th reunion at the Days Inn in Delta on Sept. 15 and 16. Many classmates were unable to attend this year and were greatly missed. The 10 class members and spouses/children who did attend had a wonderful time. Pictured above are (seated) Gladys (Henshaw) Miller, Lucie (Ankennman) Shrader, Jean (Serfoss) Holden, Beverly (Blore) Webster, Edna (Crim) Stevens and Esther Marsh; (standing) Rex and Betty (Sidebottom) Raney, Theo and Bob Cock-roft, Gerald Holden, Jim and Pauline Johnston, Murl Marsh, Mel Stevens and Earl Marsh.

While the board of directors for the Abra-ham Connection/Delta County Homeless Shelter works towards opening the overnight, emergency winter shelter this fall for the third year, volun-teers at the organization continue to work for the hungry and homeless of Delta County.

In April, at the end of last season, volunteers began serving two week-ly meals. A hot, sit-down

supper is served on Tues-day nights at Westmin-ster Hall in Delta. Each Saturday, volunteers pass out sack lunches. Through Sept. 11, vol-unteers have spent 202 hours serving meals or handing out sack lunch-es. Over 135 meals were served to those in need in the community.

“We continue to see a need for food assistance,” said Cheryl Oeltjenbruns, president of the board.

“Delta County has a hun-ger problem as well as a homeless problem.”

Last season, the shel-ter saw a significant increase in the number of guests served and bed-nights offered. Similarly, the second summer meal program saw an increase in meals served.

“We have had a tre-mendous amount of sup-port from the Delta Coun-ty area to make this sum-mer program work,” said Darla Volgomore, board member in charge of the meal program. “Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped and to the Presbyterian Church of Delta for letting us use Westminster Hall.”

Volunteers and the board also spent the summer doing several fundraisers. Over $8,000 was added to the shelter building fund this sum-mer. The board is in the process of writing grants to purchase a building.

The summer meal pro-gram is winding down, and will end on Tues-day, Oct. 30. The shelter opens Thursday, Nov. 1. There is space for fami-lies, single women and single men to sleep.

Training for those interested in volunteer-ing at the shelter will be held Oct. 27. Call 773-8290 for more informa-tion or to RSVP for the training.

The Seventh Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance voted 9-0 (one member absent) to recommend that Judge Sandra K. Miller be retained in the November election.

Judge Miller was appointed to the Delta County bench in March of 2001. She has prac-ticed law on the Western Slope since 1991. Judge Miller graduated with honors from the Uni-versity of Texas School of Law in 1987. Prior to her appointment to the bench, Judge Mill-er practiced law in both the public and private sector, practicing as an appellate court briefing attorney, private practi-tioner, and chief deputy

district attorney for the Seventh Judicial District. Her judicial workload includes civil, criminal (misdemeanor and felo-ny) and traffic offenses in the Delta County Court. In addition Judge Miller is acting district judge for Delta County Drug Court.

Judge Miller is strong in the areas of work ethic, being passionate about her work and her community. She dili-gently prepares for each case before her. She also demonstrates a strong aptitude for managing a very heavy docket and caseload, while remain-ing focused on treating all persons who come before her in a fair man-ner. Judge Miller is the

past president of Colora-do County Judges Associ-ation and has held other officer positions in the association. She is active in the National Judicial College, has taught class-es for that college, and attends professional con-

ferences. Of all attorneys sur-

veyed about retention, 93 percent recommended to retain, 4 percent not to retain, and 3 percent were undecided or didn’t have enough informa-tion to make a recom-mendation. Of those expressing an opinion to retain or not to retain, 95 percent recommended to retain and 4 percent not to retain. Of all non-attorneys surveyed, 81 percent recommended to retain, 11 percent not to retain, and 8 percent were undecided or didn’t have enough information to make a recommenda-tion. Of those expressing an opinion to retain or not to retain, 88 percent rec-ommended to retain and 12 percent not to retain. (These percentages may not total 100 percent due to rounding.)

No district judges are up for retention in the Seventh Judicial Dis-trict.

Commissions on Judi-cial Performance were cre-ated in 1988 by the Colo-rado General Assembly to provide fair, responsible and constructive evalua-tions of trial and appel-

late judges and justices. The evaluations enable voters to make informed decisions in judicial retention elections, and also provide judges with

information that can be used to improve their professional skills.

Retention recommended for county judge

The popular posters depicting mountain rang-es in western Colorado have been compiled in a book authored by Delta photographer Jeff Burch and Don Paulson.

“Peaks of the Uncom-pahgre” features labeled images and the stories behind the names of the mountains surrounding Ouray.

With just one excep-tion, all the photos in the book, as well as peak identification, elevations and labeling, were done by Jeff Burch. Don Paul-son researched how the peaks were named. Paul-son left California after a 36-year career at Cali-fornia State University, where he did research and taught in the field of organic chemistry. He and his wife had built a

home in Ouray in 1999, and when he retired in 2006 they became full-time residents. Paulson is curator of the Ouray County Museum and serves on the board of the Ridgway Railroad Museum. He has given numerous talks on Ouray County history and has written and edited a number of articles focus-ing on local history.

Burch has worked for the U.S. Forest Service for 33 years, including 22 on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gun-nison national forests. An avid hiker, he often won-dered about the names of the peaks he spotted in the distance. He came across a couple of sources which proved unreliable and said to himself, “I can do better than that.” That was the beginning of a growing business called

coloradothirteeners.com, a company which pro-duces panoramic prints of sweeping vistas, with each peak clearly labeled. His first poster, “View Looking South from Mon-trose,” was published in 2001 and still a popular seller. It is the basis for “Peaks of the Uncompah-gre” and other labeled images of Colorado.

The book is divided into three geographi-cal areas — the Sneffels Range; the peaks near Ouray, Yankee Boy Basin and Ironton Park; and the Cimarrons. The authors focus only on mountain names, elevations and how the mountains came to be named; those seek-ing tips on gaining access to the mountains will need to look elsewhere.

“We hope you will put this book in your car or truck, along with your maps, and refer to it as you travel the area,” the authors note in the intro-duction. “It would be a treat for us to, someday, see you stopped along the roadside, looking up at the peaks and pointing to the pages of this book.”

The book — and full-size versions of the post-ers contained within its pages — can be pur-chased at stores through-out western Colorado, including Clubb’s Frame Shop and PaperWorks in Delta, or through Burch’s website, www.colorado-thirteeners.com.

Lt. Col. Aaron Ward-law, the son of Len and Cindy Wardlaw of Delta, was recently featured in an Air Force Times story which was picked up by AP.

The story, “Air Force tanker crew assists stricken jet fighter,” was written by Capt. Martha L. Petersante, a public affairs officer with the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing. She describes a rou-tine mission conducted by the 22nd Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron from the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan.

“This day, however, proved to be anything but normal as the crew found themselves in a unique situation, literally act-ing as a wingman to a much smaller fighter jet

in trouble,” Capt. Peter-sante wrote.

Lt. Col. Aaron Ward-law, 22 EARS aircraft commander, and his team delivered during crunch time, guiding the aircraft through a series of spe-cific maneuvers to reset the on-board flight com-puters and allowing the pilot to regain effective communications and nav-igational instruments.

“It’s all about tak-ing care of your own,” Wardlaw said. “While we may operate differ-ent platforms, ultimately he’s a fellow airman who needed our help on a bad day.”

Wardlaw grew up in the Crystal River Valley, attended school in Car-bondale and graduated from Roaring Fork High School. He completed

ground school from Colo-rado Mountain College while in high school and learned to fly in Aspen and Glenwood Springs, completing his private pilot’s license before graduating high school.He earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aviation from Oklahoma State University, and has hours toward his doctor-ate. Aaron now resides in Stillwater, Okla., with his family and has been with the Oklahoma Air Guard for 21 years. Aaron has been cross trained in both C130s and KC135s.

“Needless to say we are very proud of our son and his flight crew,” Cindy Wardlaw said.

The Delta Presbyte-rian Church will host a focus group series, “Peo-ple of Faith: Christianity in America.” Six weekly one-hour discussion group meetings will begin Sept. 27 and run through Nov. 1. Each Thursday session will view a 30-minute DVD video followed by a 30-minute question and discussion period.

“We will embark on a trip across more than 400 years of Christianity in America — from before the pilgrims to television and internet evangelism — in this DVD series and discussion group,” said group leader Jim Leser. “We’ll gain valuable per-spective on the people and ideas that shaped America and see how the United States came to be the first nation in history based upon the ideal of religious liberty.

The six weekly epi-sodes include: 1) Faith in America: From Monarchs to the Marketplace, 2) Many Mansions, 3) Reb-

els with a Cause, 4) Chal-lenges and Change, 5) Home Grown Saints and 6) The Future of Christi-anity. This DVD series is a product of the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals and is dis-tributed by Vision Video.

“Through this DVD showing we will meet spiritual visionaries, lead-ers, and entrepreneurs who shaped Christianity. We’ll also learn about key events, movements, and controversies that con-tinue to affect us and will influence the future of the church in America.

“We will explore the questions: Is America now or has it ever been

a Christian nation? What is the meaning of separa-tion of church and state? How can the church be a faithful Gospel witness in a pluralistic society? What will the church look like in the future? ‘People of Faith: Christianity in America’ brings perspec-tive to these questions and much more.”

All in the community are invited to participate in this free discussion group. Meetings will take place Thursdays begin-ning at 7 p.m. in West-minster Hall at 135 East 4th Street in Delta. For more information call Becky Branton at 874-4893.

‘Christianity in America’ is topic of focus group

A new “open appli-cation” for the Daniels Scholarship has gone live on the Daniels Fund web-site. For the first time, the process will make it possible for students to initiate and submit their own applications online. The deadline to apply is Nov. 29.

The new approach gives students direct access to the scholar-ship application, rather than requiring them to be nominated before applying. It also offers an easy-to-use interface that

streamlines the applica-tion process.

“In establishing the Daniels Scholarship, cable pioneer Bill Dan-iels wanted to seek out outstanding young people who possess tremendous strength of character, the passion to succeed, a willingness to work hard, and a commitment to giving back to the com-munity,” explained Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund.

“We believe the new open application process

will provide even great-er access to outstanding candidates who demon-strate the qualities Bill Daniels was looking for in Daniels Scholars,” she added.

Each year, approxi-mately 250 new Daniels Scholars are selected from among thousands who apply. They go through a rigorous appli-cation, interview, and selection process. The reward of being selected for the program is the opportunity to obtain a 4-year college education at any nonprofit college or university in the Unit-ed States, complete with financial and personal support throughout the college journey.

To be eligible to apply for a Daniels Scholarship students must be current high school seniors grad-uating during the 2012-2013 academic year from a high school in Colora-do, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming. They must be a current resident of one of those states and at the time of application be a U.S. citizen or perma-nent resident of the Unit-ed States. They must also demonstrate financial need and other require-ments of the scholarship.

The Daniels Scholar-ship is not “full ride,” but is supplemental to all other financial aid resources, including Pell Grants, available to the student. After other financial resources have been applied, the Dan-iels Scholarship covers all required tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies and a variety of other miscella-neous expenses. Students also receive a laptop com-puter and a printer.

Gov. John Hickenloop-er and Reeves Brown, executive director of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), announced last week

$61,940,250 in annual state Severance Tax and Federal Mineral Lease direct distribution pay-ments will be made to 502 Colorado counties,

municipalities and school districts.

DOLA distributes the payments, which are derived from energy and mineral extraction state-wide. Last year’s distribu-tion to Colorado commu-nities was $54 million.

“We are glad to see more energy impact funds distributed this year to local communities,” said Hickenlooper. “These funds are an important resource for communities to use in planning for and providing essential public projects and services.”

“These dollars bolster communities and repre-sent partnership between all levels of government and the energy industry. Our department takes great pride in administer-ing these funds,” Brown said.

Susan Alvillar, commu-nity affairs representa-tive for WPX Energy and a member of the Ener-gy and Mineral Impact Advisory Committee said, “Direct distribution is an important source of fund-ing for local governments that helps offset the fiscal challenges facing commu-

nities. We are excited and happy to partner with the governor through the energy impact program.”

Direct distribution is based on the number of production employees in the energy impacted com-munities, as well as per-mits, production, popu-lation and highway user miles (HUTF).

Delta County is home to 980 individuals work-ing for the coal mines or in oil and gas. The major-ity, or 884, are coal mine employees. According to

data released by DOLA, 41 percent of the state’s coal miners live in Delta County, broken down by the following places of residence:

What’s up at your library?

BY HANK LOHMEYERStaff Writer

Mitt Romney’s presi-dential campaign this year has created a groundswell of inter-est in his Mormon faith. As a response to that increased public interest, the church organization has assigned its local officials to host outreach sessions inviting inter-ested public to come and learn about what many people abbreviate simply as Mormonism or LDS.

Nicolas T. Taylor, president of the church’s Montrose Stake, along with other church mem-bers, hosted two outreach sessions recently, one in Montrose and another in Delta. There, Taylor explained the basic ele-ments of their faith, and just as importantly he showed how the beliefs held by members of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints impact the way they live their daily lives.

“Unfortunately, people often abbreviate more than just our name,” Tay-lor said. “Sometimes they represent our beliefs and practices in ways that leave important gaps in

understanding.”Most people are prob-

ably aware that their friends and neighbors of the Mormon faith are among the most reliable, friendly, social, and help-ful people they know. Tay-lor asked his audience in Delta, “Do Latter-day Saints really make good citizens, and is there a causal link between what they believe and how they behave?”

He answered that question strongly in the affirmative. Most impor-tant and most basic to the faith is that Jesus Christ “is the central fig-ure of our church and we worship God, the Father, through his name,” Tay-lor explained.

“There are lots of com-monalities with other Christian faiths, and lots of differences,” he con-tinued. “To some, our teachings are heretical, to others our doctrine is intriguing. To us, it’s inseparably connected with how we interpret being followers of Jesus Christ — specifically with the way in which we live, with our sense of purpose in life, and our concept of service,” Taylor told his

audience.“The link between

what Latter-day Saints believe and what they feel impelled to do with that belief is an incred-ibly powerful force within our faith,” Taylor said. “It is rarely discussed and even more rarely appre-ciated.” Yet it is impor-tant for people wanting to understand Mormons to realize “what it is that triggers certain common behavioral character-istics among our mem-bers.” It all stems from their basic belief in Jesus Christ, he said.

There has been a sub-stantial body of indepen-dent research done on the positive effects of Mor-mon’s beliefs and their resulting lifestyle choic-es. Those positive effects have been documented in the areas of good physi-cal health and longevity, happiness and well-being, successful family life, and educational attainment, Taylor explained while citing extensive research results.

But beyond even the positive effects that Mor-mon beliefs contribute to members’ personal lives, those same beliefs inspire

and even compel church members to high levels of community work and social service activities that contribute unmea-sured value to neighbor-hoods, towns, and to the nations of the world.

Taylor’s presentation detailed the work that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its individual members do every day on a global scale in the areas of social engage-ment, volunteer work, charitable giving, and humanitarian efforts. “In addition to disaster relief, the humanitarian ser-vices arm of the Church sponsors ongoing world-wide initiatives includ-ing training local doctors and nurses to resuscitate babies who fail to take their first breaths, and to provide measles vac-cinations, wheelchair dis-tributions, vision treat-ment, and clean water.”

And even account-ing for all of that, Tay-lor noted, “Perhaps one of our greatest struggles is being properly under-stood. With a member-ship approaching 15 mil-lion and nearly 30,000 congregations across the

world, the visibility of the church and its members is growing. But visibility does not always equate with understanding.”

The church’s Montrose Stake encompasses 10 congregations. Of those ten, two are Delta wards, three are Montrose wards, and Cedaredge

and Paonia have a ward each. There are also smaller branch congrega-tions in Montrose, Gun-nison and Naturita.

The 10 congregations of the Montrose Stake consist of 3,773 total members, 1,624 of those members in Delta Coun-ty, Taylor said.

The popular musical team of George Miller, vocalist, and Sharon Clark, accompanist, will present a concert of sacred music on Sunday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m. in the sanctuary of Presbyteri-an Church of Delta.

George Miller is a retired Presbyterian min-

ister living in Montrose. A Miller family legend says that when George was five years old, he was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up. He reportedly replied, “a singing preacher.” And so he has been.

Dr. Miller has sung in church choirs, school choirs and professional choruses. He continues with professional train-ing to improve his voice and has widened his opportunities for singing. He has sung with the High Desert Opera, the Schuman Singers, Magic Circle Players and in solo recitals. He says, “I espe-cially enjoy singing with Sharon Clark, a superb accompanist.”

Sharon Clark fre-quently participates as an accompanist on the

local musical scene. She is the accompanist for the Valley Symphony Chorus, the Magic Circle Theatre and vocalists and small groups. Clark is accom-panist for vocal groups at Presbyterian Church of Delta and is pianist during worship services there.

cert will feature CMU’s new assistant professor of cello and bass, Kristen Yeon-Ji Yun.

The “Malambo” is an Argentine dance that contains both of these ele-ments. The concert will finish with Marquez’s “Danzon No. 2,” a piece that depicts a big dance full of rhythmic accents and Mexican flair.

A12 Wednesday, September 19, 2012 LOCAL NEWS Delta County Independent

BY ANNETTE BRANDStaff Writer

An unofficial “cultural care and advocacy team” is supporting the needs of Karen and Karenni students from Burma and their families. The families began moving into the Alta Vista de la Montana, the agricultur-al housing unit in North Delta, late last spring and their numbers con-tinued to grow over the summer.

Delta High School counselor Shawna Mag-

tutu says the school district was aware that students and their fam-ilies would be arriving as resettlement refugees from Burma (also called Myanmar) for the 2012-2013 school year, but they did not know how many.

Magtutu prepared materials for an infor-mation meeting about the Karen and Karenni peoples with district staff before school started. She included a short movie showing what their vil-lage life was like in Burma.

She also reached out to the community, to agencies which would be having contact with the Karen/Karenni. Fif-teen people attended the initial meeting. The principals of the Delta elementary, middle and high schools were there as were the Delta police chief and a representative from Delta County Health Department. There was substantial interest and commitment on the part of all attending to work together to find ways to help the Karen/Karenni adjust to their new coun-try and culture.

Molly Greenlee, direc-tor of the Migrant Edu-cation Program, helped

with the logistics and coordination and the funding for the meeting.

The group of 15 is in regular communica-tion by e-mail, sharing resources and challeng-es. The 15 will probably meet three times a year or so, Magtutu said.

The challenges came immediately. The chil-dren had no legal docu-ments. They had to have physicals before entering school and the parents were working from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Also the parents had no transportation. Pastor James Conley and First Baptist Church members helped get the children to doctors for their physicals. Peter Saw Htoo, a Karen man fluent in English, has been a bridge between the Karen/Karenni and the community.

High school Eng-lish teacher Paul Shean taught a summer work-shop and knows the Karen/Karenni families and students. During the school day he teaches an all-immersion English class. Karen/Karenni students also attend skill labs for one hour a day, a time with a tutor who gives extra support for their additional classes.

Two classes out of seven each day are set aside for Karen/Karenni, and all other students who need help with English, to support their learning progress.

Shean started Pride Ambassadors, selected by teachers and princi-pals. Magtutu says they are good kids, help-ful, respectful, mostly juniors and seniors, who wanted to do something toward building bridges. They have established a buddy program. Two or three American students will adopt two or three Karen/Karenni students and they set out to learn about each other. They made a list of questions so the American kids can learn about Karen/Karen-ni history and the Karen/Karenni kids can learn about American history. They plan to participate together in football, vol-leyball and soccer games. “It’s very impromptu and very meaningful,” said Magtutu.

Members of the DHS Student Council borrowed the short movie Magtutu showed to school staff and are showing it in classrooms, sharing the story of their new class-mates. “The students are reaching out and making emotional connections with real people,” Mag-tutu said.

“We are starting week five and all the students are continuing to come to school.”

Magtutu sees primary challenges as translation, transportation, language and determining credits for graduating Karen/Karenni seniors.

First Baptist Church is on the front line of tutoring students beyond the high school level.

On Tuesday and Thurs-day evenings, volunteers at First Baptist drive two church buses out to Alta Vista de la Montana apartments on Hwy. 50 and return to First Bap-tist with buses filled with Delta students. The stu-dents come for tutoring by church members, vol-unteer teachers from the school district and other volunteers from the com-munity.

Desiree Beilfuss heads up the tutoring program. She is a special education teacher by profession and works in the Delta Vision

program. Beilfuss has two co-workers, Cheryl Grange, also a teacher, and Paula Hampton, all volunteer.

Beilfuss said the tutor-ing program started the second week after school. Pastor James Conley and some of the youth of the church — Abby Conley, Aimee Doak, Kimi Doak, Hannah Hampton and Faith Hampton — visited the Karen and Karenni families at their apart-ments the day after school started. The parents and children had realized by day two that they would need help.

Pastor Conley came back to the church aware that tutoring would be a mission of the church. Hampton, Beilfuss and Grange stepped up. Sixty-two students signed up for tutoring, and the pro-gram was up and run-ning the following Tues-day, Aug. 28.

The small children read. Students in grades 3-5 work on social stud-ies. Middle school stu-dents usually bring their homework and tutors help them complete it. “There are a few students who can’t read at all and we help them with basic skills,” Beilfuss said. “The students are a great bunch of kids who want help, who want to do the work,” she said.

Beilfuss said Anna Lee Couch, a teacher at Delta Middle School, sent an e-mail to all employees of the school district telling them of this volunteer program. Four school dis-trict teachers are tutor-ing in the First Baptist program. The culture of the Karen/Karenni chil-dren requires them to show respect and they won’t speak up in class. The volunteer district tutors want to build rela-tionships with their stu-dents.

One teacher at Delta Middle School wrote a letter for a student being tutored, recommend-ing her for the National Honor Society because the student’s grades met the criteria. The student couldn’t read the letter and brought it with her for her tutoring session. The tutors read it to her and helped her fill out the needed paperwork, Beilfuss said.

A new tutor joined the

Baptist volunteers on Sept. 13, making a total of 21.

Those in the communi-ty who would like to vol-unteer to tutor can e-mail dbeilfuss@deltavision2.com or call First Baptist Church at 874-2759.

The following informa-tion is excerpted from a Sept. l, 2006, The Wash-ington File, a product of the Bureau of Interna-tional Information Pro-grams, U. S. Department of State.

“The ethnic Karens are one of more than 100 minority groups in Myan-mar [also called Burma]. They are predominately concentrated in the hill country along the bor-der with Thailand. While Myanmar [Burma] has no official state religion, about 89 percent of the country practice Bud-dhism. The Karen are predominately Christian, though also comprised of Buddhists and animists. . . . Following persecution in Myanmar [Burma], close to 140,000 predomi-nately Karen refugees have fled to rudimentary camps in Thailand across the border. . . . There are three main Karen lan-guages, and a number of dialects.

“The department [U.S. Department of State] announced Aug. 30 [2006] that Karen refugees who meet all eligibility requirements of the U.S. Refugee Admissions and Resettlement Program will not be excluded for having ‘provided mate-rial support’ to the Karen National Union (KNU), an ethnic secessionist movement that has been active in southern Burma [also called Myanmar] since that country’s inde-pendence from Britain in 1948.

“In May [2006], U.S. Secretary of State Con-doleezza Rice first autho-rized a waiver of the resettlement restrictions for potentially eligible Karen refugees in the Tham Hin camp in Thai-land’s western Ratcha-buri province.”

Future articles will address how the local Karen and Karenni came to be resettled in Delta, how and where they have found agricultural employment, where they worship and other mat-ters of interest.

Volunteers ease students’ transition

The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunni-son National Forests have a new forest supervisor. Scott Armentrout arrived Sept. 10, coming from the Sierra National Forest where he was the forest supervisor for the past two years. Prior to coming to the GMUG, Armentrout served in various positions across the West, includ-ing district ranger on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland. He also worked in Washington D.C. as the assistant national wildlife program manager for the Forest Service.

Armentrout stated, “I’m happy to be here and look

forward to meeting and working with the stake-holders of the GMUG. The forests have a reputation for hard work, great rela-tionships and partner-ships and providing qual-ity management on-the-ground...I’m excited to be a part of that.”

A native of Iowa, Armentrout has a B.S. in wildlife science from Ore-gon State University. He and his wife Lisa have two children and the family is excited about relocating to the Western Slope and being back in the Rocky Mountains. Armentrout’s hobbies include hunting, fishing, hiking and spend-ing time with his family.

The Forest Service plans to hold an open house for residents, part-ners and local government representatives to meet Armentrout soon. Acting forest supervisor Sherry Hazelhurst will resume her duties as the deputy forest supervisor for the GMUG.

Enjoying the viewDrivers pulled over to the side of the road by Highway 133 recently when a bear was seen walking through a fi eld. Folks alighted from their cars in time to see the bear start to climb the hill. Once the bear saw the people he changed course and walked through a wooded area adjacent to the North Fork River. The bear escaped being captured on cam-era, but it was a lovely view anyway.

NFRIA-WSERC Conser-vation Center has received letters of support from the Paonia Town Council for two of its projects. The approval came at the Sept. 11 town council meeting.

NWCC director Sarah Sauter was present to explain the projects. The first letter of support was for a trail project grant at the Paonia River Park. The town had given a letter of support for this same proj-ect in the fall of 2011. That grant application was turned down by the Colorado State Parks State Trails Program. In its new application for this fall, NWCC is seeking the grant for trail design and to build the trails at the river park. Sauter said they had received excellent feedback on their first application and are optimistic about this application.

In the town’s letter, Mayor Neal Schwieterman wrote, “The Board of Trustees of the Town of Paonia, supports the

development of the river park trails for Paonia and area citi-zens. Projects like this are an improvement in our com-munity and add to the quality of life found here in the North Fork Valley.”

The second request was for the town’s support in NWCC’s application for a Great Out-doors Colorado-Funded Youth Corps Crew.

In this letter, Mayor Schwi-eterman wrote, “The Conser-vation Center has been suc-cessful in completing projects such as this in the past, and we fully expect them to con-tinue developing the River Park for greater access and enjoyment by the public. We endorse this unique opportu-nity to employ young people, build recreational trails, and increase access to public lands and open spaces.”

Sauter said ideally the youth corps would work up to two weeks on trail building. This could include opportuni-ties for local youth.

The council voted unani-mously to send both letters of support.

Paonia residents will receive a copy of “Envision-ing Paonia’s Comprehensive Plan: Utilizing diversity to move towards a self-sustaining community” before the end of the year. The document was written by Barbara Peterson, Paonia town clerk.

The last comprehensive plan for the town was approved in 1996. It has basically gathered dust the last six years and has rarely if ever impacted votes by the town council. Another criti-cism of that document was the lack of public input in the writ-ing of the comprehensive plan.

Peterson saw the need to change how a comprehensive plan is written. To be effec-tive, public input is necessary throughout the process. She also believes the finished prod-uct should be a living document utilized by trustees in making decisions.

Peterson felt that as town clerk she had a unique insight into the thoughts of elected officials, town staff and the citizens because of her daily contact with all of them.

To that end she received per-mission from the town council to participate in an opportu-nity provided by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. She was accepted into the New Directions Cathy Shipley Best and Brightest Internship pro-gram. This program allowed her to fulfill her necessary

requirements for a Master’s Degree in Political Science while continuing her full-time work as town clerk.

To achieve her master’s she wrote her document on a new preliminary comprehen-sive plan for Paonia. “It is the intent of this article to assess the current situation in Paonia via examinations of existing resources, including the his-tory, demographics, land use and human capital to formu-late a preliminary document, providing starting points of discussion for Paonia’s compre-hensive plan. This article does not intend to be a final author-ity of the citizens of Paonia, but rather one researcher’s vision of how Paonia may capitalize on its strengths to retain the quality of life found in Paonia,” Peterson wrote. “This paper will address the problem updat-ing the comprehensive plan to incorporate entrepreneurial endeavors that will diversify Paonia’s economic base, there-by increasing the probability of a self-sustaining community that retains the character and values of its citizens, while planning for the future.”

Wanting to make sure that the citizens would have their own copy of the document and submit comments, Peterson had asked the town council if copies could be mailed to Paonia citizens. Some council members balked at the cost of such an endeavor. They also questioned whether now was the time to be adding the work of a comprehensive plan to the staff ’s workload.

At last Tuesday’s town council meeting, a workable solution was found. Police Chief Scott Leon suggested to trustee Corinne Ferguson that Paonia High School perhaps

could deliver the plan to local residents. Ferguson contacted assistant principal Lindsay Molitor and the student coun-cil about whether juniors and seniors who do community ser-vice projects could hand deliver the plan. They agreed and said all that would be required of the town was a letter for their college applications acknowl-edging their community ser-vice. There will be no cost to the town other than for print-ing.

Peterson said the compre-hensive plan document will be coordinated with North Fork Heart and Soul so as not to duplicate efforts in surveying the public. Heart and Soul wants to gather information on the core values of the citizens to be incorporated in future plan-ning for the town. Hopefully this can be done in November or December following Peter-son’s training in Texas on how to translate value-based state-ments into legislative language for the comprehensive plan. The three days of training is being paid for by North Fork Heart and Soul.

Mayor Neal Schwieterman commented that Peterson has been integral to the efforts of Heart and Soul in Paonia, and that with the high school stu-dents’ service, getting the com-prehensive plan to the citizens is within the current budget. The project will proceed with the town council’s blessings.

Once the plan is delivered, it will be up to the citizens to read the preliminary comprehensive plan, answer the Heart and Soul survey and submit their comments to town hall. The Town of Paonia wants active participation from its citizens in creation of the new compre-hensive plan.

Citizen input sought

After first suggesting curb extenders to improve safety for pedestrians crossing Bridge Street, the Town of Hotchkiss and the Downtown Improve-ment Committee are consider-ing an alternative plan.

Mike Owens, public works director, suggested the town and committee consider plant-ers as used in Crested Butte. The 4 foot by 8 foot planters would be placed in the yellow no parking areas on Bridge Street. According to commit-tee member Tom Wills, they would not interfere with traf-fic lanes.

Wills explained to the Delta County Independent, “The planters will, if built and placed as proposed, increase street safety in several ways. 1. Allow pedestrians to pro-ceed to the edge of the traffic lane where visibility for both them and drivers is better. 2. Prevent cars from using the no-parking area as a lane, parking space, or to ‘cut the corner’ as happens frequent-ly at the Post Office corner,

endangering pedestrians. 3. Make the street appear to narrow visually, something that should cause traffic to slow generally.

“And of course the plant-ers full of flowers will make

the downtown prettier. If built with locally made mine tim-bers they could also honor our history with that industry.”

The planters would be movable with a forklift. They would be put out in spring

and removed during winter so as not to interfere with snow removal.

Also, smaller planters with seating are proposed on the sidewalk toward the center of the block.

Mary Hockenbery, commit-tee chair, suggested flowers on Bridge Street next year should contain a lot of red and white blooms to match Hotchkiss “Bulldog Pride” col-ors.

This year Hockenbery and her crew used one five-gallon jug to water the Bridge Street planters. She’s suggesting for next year a water tank in a pickup so the watering can be done more efficiently.

Other ideas being consid-ered by the committee include several new murals on build-ings and even some mini-murals.

Nathan Sponseller, presi-dent of the Hotchkiss Cham-ber of Commerce, said there is a preliminary plan for having benches on the sidewalk in front of the First State Bank drive-up next to the West Elk Inn and another bench and more trees on the bank’s lawn. “This would create a shady, inviting, mid-block mini-park. A sculpture mount on the lawn may also be possible,” Wills wrote in the committee minutes for Sept. 6.

New planters proposed for Hotchkiss

Photo submitttedThis photo shows how planters could be used in place of curb extenders in providing safety for pedestrians crossing a downtown street. Hotchkiss public works director Mike Owens prefers this idea over having permanent curb extenders. The planters could be moved in the winter to allow for snow plowing.

Last Thursday, the Heart and Soul Project organized a webinar demonstration of CommunityViz software. The webinar was shown at Hotchkiss Town Hall, Paonia Town Hall, NFRIA-WSERC Conservation Center and the Delta County GIS depart-ment.

The software is the flagship product for Placeways LLC in Boulder that specializes in interactive tools for geograph-ic decisions. CommunityViz is the result of a collaboration between Placeways and the Orton Family Foundation, a non-profit which oversees Heart and Soul.

According to the Place-ways website, CommunityViz is used “throughout North America and the world for scenario-based land-use plan-ning and 3D visualization.” With the software, users can create overlays and modeling of various scenarios for plan-ning, the effects of zoning and population growth.

The webinar, conducted by Doug Walker of Placeways and Amy Anderson for Orton, provided three demonstra-tions of how the software was

used by planners in Victor, Idaho, the initial groundwork for utilization in Paonia, if approved, and how to create 3D scenes.

Paonia town clerk Bar-bara Peterson provided feed-back that while the software is “neat,” the expense is not justified.

Walker said when people in Victor, Idaho, saw the scenar-ios of how their town could be changed, some realized they needed to think more about what they wanted their com-munity to look like in 20 to 30 years.

Use of the CommunityViz software does require com-patibility with other software. Walker said Placeways is continually updating its soft-ware.

If planners wanted to see the visual impact of air and water quality and drought scenarios, CommunityViz can demonstrate that visually, but not quantitatively. For exam-ple, fog could be added to a scene to show air pollution or crops could be shown in different colors to represent healthy crops versus drought-damaged crops.

The 24th annual Col-orado Grand made its lunch stop in Hotchkiss on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Delta County Fair-grounds. The Colorado Grand covers a 1,000-mile route which began and ended this year at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa. Owners ship their cars to the start-ing location. The Colora-do Grand was held from Sept. 10-15 giving the drivers and co-drivers a scenic drive.

While car enthusiasts love to come out and admire and dream about the classic race cars and the participants enjoy a delicious lunch provided by the Hotchkiss Cham-ber of Commerce, the members of the Colorado Grand give out incred-ible donations. This year they raised their $3,500 scholarship to $5,000 which will be given to a senior at Hotchkiss High School. Colorado Grand has given over $3.4 mil-lion in donations totally,

including over $1 million to the Colorado State Patrol Family Founda-tion. The Colorado State

Patrol accompanies the drivers throughout the tour.

This year people

were able to see famous-named cars from around the world — Jaguar, Fer-rari, Alvis, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin, Cun-ningham, Lancia, Cobra and Shelby Cobra.

Richard and Joanne Hansen from Illinois came in their robin-egg blue 1957 Jaguar XK140MC Drophead Coupe Convert-ible. The tour has taken them to Vail, Walden, Ridgway, Ouray, Silver-ton, Durango, Telluride and Hotchkiss. The Han-sens have done the rally 20 times. Hotchkiss is always one of their favor-ite stops. Richard said their car, which was fully restored 1-1/2 years ago, had severe overheat-ing problems because of a faulty thermostat. He put over 1,500 miles on it back in Illinois and it

didn’t overheat, but it boiled over in the Colo-rado mountains. After its repair last Thursday night, it was running great on Friday.

What is it like to drive a vintage Jaguar? “Oh it’s wonderful. They handle well. What you have to do is compare these cars to the cars you could buy in 1957 — two-seater perfor-mance cars. There were only two, the Corvette and the Thunderbird. And they were both good cars, but they couldn’t handle quite as well as a Jaguar for example,” Richard said. “When Jag-uars first came out in 1948, they were the stars of all the auto shows. All the famous movie actors had to have one. Clark Gable had one.”

The Jaguar is made in Coventry, England.

Garrett Bouton drove a 1939 SS100 Jaguar. It was painted in British Racing Green. “It was called the model 100 because it was the first production car to go 100 miles an hour,” Bouton said. He has been clocked at 99 miles per hour.

“The SS is a fascinat-ing thing because the name of the car before the war, when this car was built, was not Jaguar. It was Swallow Sidecar,” Bouton said. The com-pany started out making sidecars for motorcycles before starting to make cars. His car came off the factory line in January 1939. By April the com-pany converted to war production. About 116 of this type with the big engine for racing were hand-built before the war began. Of the 116, it is believed that 15 or 16 still exist and are being driven today.

The car has the SS logo for the car company, but due to Hitler’s use of “SS,” the company did not want to continue with their name after World War II, so they renamed their company Jaguar.

All the cars that par-ticipate in the Colorado Grand are pre-1960 vin-tage sports cars.

The Colorado Grand alternates years that it has its North Fork Val-ley lunch stop either in Hotchkiss or Paonia.

It had been sitting outdoors in the elements. Panels were found inside the trunk with the original paint color, and that is the Jaguar paint color seen here. Jaguar gained fame with wins in the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1951,1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957.

Teens on Farms intern honoredValente Campos received a Certifi cate of Recognition from Mountain Harvest Festival after the Kids Pasta Project dinner for Teens on Farms on Sept. 10. Valente was one of two Teens on Farms interns this summer to be awarded a scholarship by Mountain Harvest Festival. Sarah Bishop, an MHF board member (left), presented the award to Valente, noting his ambition and hard work. Valente’s mother, Cresta, supported his work and is proud of his achievements. Valente, who has just fi nished his sec-ond summer as a Teens on Farms intern, acknowledged that he learned it is not easy to be a farmer and that he should ask for help when he was uncertain of the task at hand. Next to Valente is Wink Davis, the owner of Mesa Winds Farm where Valente worked. He also spent some time at Zephyros Farm this summer. Cassandra Shenk, on the far right, is the founder and director of Teens on Farms, whose mission is to put every willing teen to work on a farm. She credits the success of the four-year- old program to the farmers, the parents, the many program supporters and the teens themselves.

The Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation will begin a project on Monday, Sept. 17, to reduce the potential for rockfall on SH 133 over McClure Pass. The rock-fall mitigation consists clearing rock debris from the roadside ditch, scal-ing rock from the hillside (bringing rocks down with air bags inserted behind loose rock and also bringing them down by hand), installing rock reinforcement (with dow-els and also a concrete mixture), and anchoring and installing wire mesh (or cable netting) to con-tain smaller rocks. The work will be done on the north side of the pass near Marble, between mileposts 44 and 49.

During periods of rock scaling work (done each day), traffic will be stopped in both direc-tions for up to 20 min-utes. Delays may exceed 20 minutes as traffic queues are cleared in

both directions. When scaling is not underway, travelers should still anticipate some delays and single-lane, alter-nating traffic, Monday through Friday (and some Saturdays) during daylight hours.

There will be a winter suspension of work likely starting around Nov. 1. The project will resume in April 2013 and will be completed in July 2013.

“McClure is ranked at the top of our rockfall hazard rating system,” said Ty Ortiz, CDOT rockfall specialist. “The amount of rockfall we see here on an annual basis is quite a bit high-er than what we see in many other sites around the state.”

CDOT contracted the work to TK Mining for $2 million.

For information on CDOT projects state-wide, the public may log on to www.cotrip.org or call 511.

With the recent increase in extreme weather, religious prophecies and politi-cal unrest, eminent doom for humankind is a popular topic for con-versation these days. The good news is that

regardless of whether or not the sky is actually falling, and regardless of what will make it fall, there are practical ways to prepare, as individu-als and together as a community, in case of a short- or long-term cri-

sis. On Monday, Sept. 24, the Blue Sage Cen-ter for the Arts’ “Valley Voices” series presents a talk entitled “Weather-ing Any Storm: Explor-ing Personal and Com-munity Readiness.” The talk will take place at the Blue Sage in Paonia from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

The talk will be pre-sented by Liz and Kalvin Evans, who have previ-ously taught classes on various types of emergen-cy preparedness and have an extensive background in the field, in part based on their work while in the U.S. Air Force. They will focus on several aspects of personal pre-paredness, as well as how community members can work together to create the best-case scenario in either short- or long- term crisis.

Saturday, Sept. 8 was the first annual Volun-teer Appreciation Potluck

and Awards Ceremony presented by NFRIA-WSERC Conservation Center. It was fittingly held outdoors at the Paonia River Park which

has been the site of many volunteer efforts.

Just in 2012, volun-teers have given over 3,000 hours of service. Among those who were honored were Claudia Henshall, Martha Gre-wal, Marilyn Zarley and Paula Harper.

Also honored was Anna Santo, an OSM/VISTA volunteer who is moving on to other environmen-tal endeavors. Her last day with the Conserva-tion Center is Sept. 21.

“I really admire every single person here,” Santo said. “It’s been so special to have friends with such diverse experiences, all ages, all backgrounds. That’s something I’ve never had before . . . It’s really helped me grow.”

Volunteers thanked for their dedication

Shoe sale benefi ts Greg PodgornyFriends of Greg Podgorny had a shoe sale on Saturday to raise funds for his ALS treatment. The event was hosted by The Rose in Hotchkiss. In just 1-1/2 hours three tables packed with over 100 pairs of shoes, san-dals and boots were almost sold out. Among the volunteers who made the benefi t a success are (left to right) owner of The Rose Elsie Winne Edstrom, Brandy Kasik, Robyn Morrison and (not pictured) Lisa Kond-rat. Podgorny’s website, www.gregpodgorny.org lists other fund-raising events his friends are planning and how donations are being accepted. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a motor neuron disease that causes progressive muscle weakness or loss of muscle.

The First Baptist Church of Hotchkiss was built in 1904, so it was time for some sprucing up! The congregation led by Pastor Jake DeField has renovated the sanc-tuary making it a beauti-ful place of worship. Sun-light pours in through stained glass windows.

One upper level stained glass hasn’t been seen since the 1980s when a drop ceiling was installed obscuring it from parish-ioners’ view. But no more. The ceiling has been removed, dull lighting has been replaced and walls and ceiling freshly painted. Fans have been installed. The sound sys-tem has been updated.

Everything is now in place with the only thing left to do is to open wide the sanctuary doors and invite everyone to come. The church is having a four-day open house from Tuesday, Sept. 25, through Friday, Sept. 28. Wednesday evening, Sept. 26, there will be a free community dinner. Then the culmination of everyone’s efforts will be the 11 a.m. rededication service on Sunday, Sept. 30. Don’t be a stranger, come for the week of cel-ebrations.

The renovation began this summer, and it’s remarkable how mem-bers and non-members have donated their time in completing this proj-ect. It shows a lot of love. The attic now has R-38 insulation. Glass French doors now separate the entryway and the sanc-

tuary. Former pews have been made into a new pulpit and a light rail around the sanctuary ceiling.

Pastor Jake DeField began his pastorate at First Baptist in October 2009. “Our goal is to be a lighthouse in the commu-nity,” DeField said.

A light-filled sanctuary greets worshipers

Photo by Kathy BrowningMany volunteer hours have been donated by members of the church and oth-ers to make the First Baptist Church of Hotchkiss a beautiful worship center. A drop ceiling was removed revealing a vaulted ceiling and stained glass that had been hidden from view for decades. From Sept. 25-28, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., the public is invited to an open house. Come and see all the improvements!

Photo by Kathy BrowningThe neighbors of First Baptist Church in Hotchkiss have been wondering about all the activity at the church. Members have been burning the midnight oil to fi nish their renovation of the sanctuary. There will be a rededication service on Sept. 30.

BY HANNAH HOLMCoordinator, Water Center

at Colorado Mesa UniversityThe Water Center at

Colorado Mesa Universi-ty is pleased to announce two exciting opportuni-ties to learn about water in our region: an eight-hour “Water Law in a Nutshell” class on Fri-day, Sept. 21, and a water tour of the Uncompahgre Valley on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Both events are open to the general public.

“Water Law in a Nutshell”

Do you have some understanding that senior water rights have priority over junior water rights in Colorado, but get a bit confused when people start talking about augmentation plans and conditional water rights? Are you a little fuzzy on the difference between a ditch share and a water right? And would you like to understand all of this a whole lot better? If so, then this course is for you.

On Friday, Sept. 21,

the Water Center at CMU will host “Water Law in a Nutshell,” an 8-hour seminar presented by Mr. Aaron Clay, Attorney at Law and former 26-year Water Referee for the Colorado Water Court, Division 4. This seminar will cover all aspects of the law related to water rights and ditch rights as applied in Colorado. Subject matter includes the appropriation, per-fection, use, limitations, attributes, abandonment and enforcement of vari-

ous types of water rights. Additional subject mat-ter will include special rules for groundwater, public rights in appropri-ated water, Federal and interstate compacts and more.

This seminar is open to all interested persons. Fee is $89; $113 for .5 graduate inservice credit. The course has also been pre-approved for 8 hours of Continuing Legal Education credit. For more information or to register, see http://www.

coloradomesa.edu/eso/WaterLaw.html or call the Water Center at 970-248-1968.Uncompahgre Valley

Water Tour Over 100 years ago, a

tunnel was drilled from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison to carry water from the Gunnison River to the Uncompahgre Val-ley. The water flowed, and a rich diversity of farms flourished.

In an all-day tour on Tuesday, Sept. 25, learn about this fascinating history and see how the valley is responding to newer challenges: the opportunity to develop hydropower from canals, the need to control the levels of salt and selenium leaching from farmland into the Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers, and the need to get more pre-cise with irrigation when water supplies dwindle.

The tour will start and finish at the Bill Hed-dles Recreation Center at Confluence Park in Delta and will run from 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The tour is being co-hosted by the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association, the Delta-Montrose Elec-tric Association and the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University.

The tour will begin with a presentation on the history of water development in the Uncompahgre Valley by Steve Fletcher, Manager of the Uncompahgre Val-ley Water Users Associa-tion. Stops will include the South Canal hydro-power project, which is currently under construc-tion, the Ironstone diver-

sion on the Uncompahgre River, a ditch lining proj-ect on the EC lateral, Randy Meeker’s farm, and David Harold’s farm. Mr. Meeker employs sprinkler irrigation, and Mr. Harold uses a drip system.

The tour is open to anyone who is interest-ed. The $40 fee includes transportation, break-fast and a picnic lunch at the Mountain View Winery near Olathe. For more information or to register, see www.colora-domesa.edu/watercenter/UncompahgreTour.html or call the Water Center at 970-248-1968.

This is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colo-rado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning and let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa.edu/WaterCenter.

Uncompahgre water tour set for Sept. 25

BY JIM POKRANDTColorado River Water Conservation District

Reservoirs are water savings accounts. Large-ly, they operate to catch snowmelt for use later in the summer–but are big enough to build a nest egg for future drought years. If you like to brush your teeth, shower, eat and water your lawn, you are a water user, dependent on this system so neces-sary in arid Colorado.

So how are the reser-voirs holding up in this drought year? They are working as planned, but water levels are being drawn down. Green Mountain Reservoir is currently about half full, well below the August average. Clearly it is going to need a good snow year this winter.

Lake Powell, located in northern Arizona and southern Utah, is Colo-rado’s biggest water-sav-ings account, helping Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah meet obligations under the Colorado River Compact of 1922. More on that in a moment.

First, Powell is a good indicator of drought on a regional basis. Currently, it is at 70 percent of its August average but 58 percent of capacity. It could have been worse except for the outstand-ing snow year in 2010-11. But this past runoff season was abysmal. The April-July inflow was 2.06 million acre-feet (29 percent of average), mak-

ing it the third driest on record since the closure of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963, the Bureau of Recla-mation reports. Only 1977 and 2002 had lower same-period inflows. So no sav-ings accrued this year.

Local reservoir condi-tions have much to do with how water utilities establish outdoor water-use rules and how ranch-ers and farmers cooperate to get by on what’s avail-able. So it bears watch-ing how Green Mountain, Dillon and other “buck-ets” in Colorado fare for the rest of the year. Have water providers and water users done enough to stave off more drastic water restrictions next year? By next March, we are likely to know.

But Lake Powell is the big game. Its long-term health will determine in future decades whether Colorado and the other states just mentioned have to curtail water use in order to keep required flows heading to Arizona, California and Nevada. In 1922, when negotia-tors from the seven states divided the river for human use, the Lower Basin States got the bet-ter half. They get theirs before we get ours. Pow-ell has made sure that this day of reckoning has never come, and hope-fully never will.

But we need more than hope. That’s why the Col-orado River District and many of its constituents in Western Colorado are discussing risk manage-

ment when it comes to future water develop-ment projects such as the Flaming Gorge pump-back, for example. Water providers on the Front Range are also engaged. Nobody knows for sure where we cross the line of developing too much water and forcing a cur-tailment on the Colorado River system that nobody wants, no matter which side of the Continental Divide. The Front Range has a big stake. Colorado River water in amounts between 450,000 and 600,000 acre-feet goes to the east in any given year, depending on condi-tions. Those transmoun-tain flows are taken under water rights that would be subject to com-pact curtailment.

Risk management means trying to under-stand steps that can be taken to right-size a project or even fore-stall a project until more information is known about water supply and climate change. It is being incorporated into “scenario planning,” a process of figuring out a range of possible futures and strategies that meet those futures. These con-cepts are under study by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, nine basin roundtables and the Interbasin Compact Committee, the latter two formed in 2005 under the Colorado Water for the 21st Century Act.

Gov. Hickenlooper has asked these entities to

come up with a statewide water plan by 2016, to address water supply for a population that could double to 10 million peo-ple by 2050. So while we think short term about drought, reservoir levels and more powder days (yeah!), keep an eye on Powell and the larger issues it represents.

This is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colo-rado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning and let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa.edu/WaterCenter.

Reservoir storage serves as water saving account

The Lavender Associa-tion of Western Colorado is proud to host the upcom-ing Southwest Lavender Conference – Beyond the Basics. There will also be a guided motorcoach tour of area lavender farms on Sunday, Sept. 30.

This conference is open to the public and especial-ly relevant to anyone who is growing or thinking about growing lavender to make products such

as bath and body oils, lotions or creams, culi-nary spice blends using lavender buds and all aromatherapy products. The association always advises people interested in growing lavender as a commercial crop to “start with the end in mind.” This conference will help you see what your “end” should be.

This conference would also be of interest

to anyone who is look-ing for a viable alterna-tive cash crop to their existing farm, orchard or ranch.

The conference will be held at Two Rivers Convention Center in downtown Grand Junc-tion on Sept. 28, 29 and 30. Please visit our website at www.coloradolavender.org to register for this informa-tive conference.

Cowboy Camp Meeting, Blaine and Molly Lilly Music Ministries, Gary Lear & The Way Music Ministries, Cowboy At the Cross Cowboy Church, Fellowship of Christian Cowboys — all are coming together to have an old-fashioned cowboy camp meeting. This event will be held on the property of Mount Gilead Bethel Church at the intersection of East Pipeline Road and Oak Creek Road. The loca-tion is easy to find. Just go west on North Road out of Eckert. When it leaves the blacktop, stay on the gravel road (Oak Creek Road) about another five miles until you come to the camp meeting. There

will be lots of music and fun starting Friday night around 6 p.m.

Saturday’s activities include a trail ride, open mic in the afternoon, Dutch oven cook-off, sup-per for everyone, worship and cowboy preaching Saturday night.

After breakfast Sun-day, worship is planned.

Everyone is welcome. Come and bring your camper or tent, or just sleep out under the stars cowboy style. There’s plenty of space for primi-tive camping. Sorry, no electric hook-ups.

Blaine and Molly Lilly are the Male and Female Vocalists of the Year for the Western Division of

the Country Gospel Music Association. Gary Lear is an up and coming coun-try singer with recordings in Nashville. His group The Way is a country gos-pel group that has made a great impact in and around the state of Colo-rado.

The Fellowship of Christian Cowboys has worked hard to promote the gospel the cowboy way and has sponsored the Rodeo Bible Camp for years. The Cowboy at the Cross Camp Meet-ing Cowboy Church has been meeting at the Kier Ranch on Tongue Creek for about two years in partnership with the Fel-lowship of Christian Cow-

boys to promote the gos-pel to cowboys and to all those who love that style of life.

The goal of this camp meeting is to have a great time worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the old-fashioned cowboy way. Organizers hope to bring back memories for some, and plant new ones for others. They want to start a tradition that will carry into the next gen-eration and beyond. If you love cowboys and cowgirls, and if you love having a good time, you don’t want to miss this event.

For more informa-tion, call Gunnison Valley Church of the Nazarene at 874-0848.

Donald and Jennifer Lud-wig started Rocky Mountain Locksmith at their home in Hotchkiss fi ve years ago. When he was called to as-sist customers, Donald worked off the fl atbed of his pickup. Then he operated a well-equipped, well-marked service van. Now he and Jennifer are excited to have

a storefront in downtown Hotchkiss. The business can be contacted at 180 W. Bridge Street or by phone at 778-7632 or 399-7200 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Even though service is available around the clock, you’ll nev-er have to pay extra for calls after hours or on holidays.

The store is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

We’ve all experienced the sinking sensation when we realize we’ve locked our-selves out of our house or vehicle. Should you break a window to gain access? Can you fi t through the par-tially open window in the bathroom? On TV a credit

card is all you need to un-lock a door. It looks so easy, doesn’t it?

But the easiest solution of all is calling Donald or Jen-nifer. Donald is a licensed locksmith and Jennifer is on her way to becoming one. Between them they provide key origination, key duplica-tion, transponder keys and assistance with lockouts for your home, business or auto. The auto lockout ser-vice is free when children or pets are involved.

Rocky Mountain Lock-smith also installs, repairs and rekeys locksets and deadbolts. Products from Schlage, Kwikset, Amsec, US Lock, Yale, Strattec and MasterLock ensure peace of mind with many attractive design options. As the busi-ness expands, the Ludwigs plan to offer surveillance and access-controlled sys-tems, as well.

As residents of the North Fork Valley, Donald and Jen-nifer are committed to pro-viding the quality of service their friends and neighbors expect. You’ll be glad you decided to give them a try!

Know Your Neighbor

Rocky Mountain Locksmith serves theNorth Fork Valley 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

You’ll never pay additional fees for lockout service when you call Rocky Mountain Locksmith after business hours or on holidays. Marie Stucker, Don Ludwig, Jen Ludwig and 20-month-old Emily are committed to providing quality service to their friends and neighbors in the North Fork Valley.

Photo submittedWarden Steve Green presents the Employee of the Year award to Linda Hansen, a nurse at Delta Cor-rectional Center.

Linda Hansen, R.N. was chosen as Delta Correctional Center’s Employee of the Year 2012 on Sept. 13. She received this award for her dedication to duty and her outstanding abil-ity to manage the medical clinic in the absence of the nurse manager dur-ing an extended illness.

Hansen is also com-munity minded. She is a certified SANE nurse (sexual assault nurse examiner), she works with Citizens for Ani-

mal Welfare and Shelter (CAWS), and serves on the animal shelter team for Delta. Linda is a DJ on KVNF radio (although she is currently on sab-batical) and is a featured presenter for the “Cook-ing with Jazz” program.

Hansen earned her nursing degree at Mesa State College (now Colo-rado Mesa University) and holds a master’s cer-tificate in forensic nurs-ing from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Linda has a 22-year-old son who is studying water resource manage-ment and is planning a career as a park ranger. She lives in Paonia with her four cats, Tarzan, Melissa, Stewie and Yao Ming.

The Colorado Pub-lic Utilities Commission (PUC) will hold two pub-lic hearings on the West-ern Slope this week as it continues to take public comment about proposed changes to its telecom-munications rules.

A public hearing will

be held in Montrose on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 4 p.m. at the city coun-cil chambers, 433 S. 1st Street. The following day, Sept. 20, the PUC will take comment beginning at 1 p.m. at the Rifle Branch Library, 207 East Avenue, in Rifle.

The PUC is consider-ing updates to its rules based on technological and competitive changes in the telecom industry. The proposed rules are intended to reduce regu-lation where it is appro-priate, including reduc-tions to Colorado High Cost Support Mechanism (CHCSM), which reim-burses certain telecom providers for serving cus-tomers in high-cost areas of the state.

The proposed rules would define and set forth factors the commis-sion deems appropriate when determining if an “effectively competitive area” exists. Regulatory treatment, and high cost support, would be less-ened in geographical areas where basic local exchange service is found to have effective competi-tion.

Formal rulemaking hearings are scheduled for Oct. 1-4 at the PUC in Denver. Written com-ments may be submitted through the PUC web-site. Comments should be submitted to Docket No. 12R-862T.

Lace up your shoes and check the air in your bike tires. It’s time for the Pea Green Pedal, an event to benefit the Delta Coun-ty Memorial Hospital Foundation Scholarship Fund. Just this month, the foundation awarded

scholarships totaling over $10,000 to individu-als pursuing careers as physician assistants, registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs and lab techni-cians. These scholar-ships, as well as a variety of support services and

equipment for the hospi-tal and its employees, are possible only because of fundraisers like the Pea Green Pedal.

This is the first year for the fun run/bike ride, which offers options for every member of the fam-ily. All activities begin and end at the Lions Pavilion in Confluence Park on Saturday, Sept. 22. Reg-istration opens at 8 a.m. for the bike ride, with a 9 a.m. start for either an 18-mile or 40-mile bike ride. The 40-mile route is a loop to Olathe and back on gently roll-ing terrain. The 18-mile ride heads south to Ban-ner Road before doubling back toward Delta. Both options take bicyclists through the farming com-munity of Pea Green, where water and rest-rooms will be available.

The fee for the bike ride is $30 if pre-regis-tered by Sept. 10 and $35 after that date.

Registration for the 5k fun run begins at 10 a.m. The run through Conflu-ence Park starts at 10:30 a.m.

Registration for the 5k run/walk is $20 by Sept. 10 and $25 after. Kids

12 and under can partici-pate for free. Register by Sept. 10 to be guaranteed a free T-shirt. After that date they’ll be available on a first come, first serve basis. Lunch at the Lions Pavilion is included in the registration fee and

will be served starting at 11:30 a.m. A fee of $5 will be charged to non-partici-pants.

A registration form can be found online at dcmhfoundation.org. Register early, as space is limited to the first 200 entries.

In conjunction with the ride, the DCMH Founda-tion will be raffling off a 1.1 Trek bicycle. Raffle tickets are available from foundation board mem-bers or by calling 874-2291. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10.

Delta County Memo-rial Hospital and 19 other Colorado hospitals received awards from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Envi-ronment on Sept. 18 for implementing best prac-tices to support breast-feeding. Last year, the department recognized 13 hospitals. There now are 33 hospitals — more than half of all Colorado birth-ing hospitals — that give new mothers the support they need to start and continue breastfeeding.

“Our Colorado hospi-tal community is mak-ing great strides in sup-porting breastfeeding for new mothers,” said Dr. Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medi-

cal officer for the Colo-rado Department of Pub-lic Health and Environ-ment. “We know breast-feeding can help prevent childhood obesity and reduce the risk of many childhood illnesses. The majority of new mothers want to breastfeed, and these hospitals play a vital role in giving babies a healthy start.”

Hospitals that receive the Colorado Can Do 5! breastfeeding award implement five best prac-tices:

1. The infant is breast-fed in the first hour after birth.

2. The infant is fed only breast milk in the hospital.

3. The infant stays in

the same room with the mother in the hospital.

4. The infant does not use a pacifier in the hos-pital.

5. Hospital staff gives each mother a telephone number to call for help with breastfeeding after being discharged from the hospital.

Supporting mothers in their breastfeeding efforts is effective and inexpen-sive early intervention to the prevention of obesity, one of the state’s winna-ble battles. By 2016, the department’s goal is to increase the percentage of mothers who report some breastfeeding of their infants at 6 months of age from 61 percent to 65 percent.

September is Healthy Aging Month, an oppor-tunity to acknowledge the positives of aging and for senior adults to improve their physical and men-tal health. As individu-als age, it’s essential that they take charge of their own health, stay active, and maintain their inde-pendence. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support orga-nization, offers tips for adults to keep their bod-ies and minds healthy.

Physical Activity

According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention, about one-third of adults over the age of 65 experience at least one fall each year. Muscle strength, reaction time, and stability can also decline dramatically after the age of 50. With these age-related factors, it’s essential that senior adults remain active to maintain their mobility, prevent falls, and make everyday tasks easier. Senior adults should focus on these four areas of exercise:

• Endurance – The National Institute on Aging (NIA) suggests that senior adults partici-pate in at least 30 min-utes of physical activity that increases their heart rate, such as walking, jog-ging, biking, swimming, or raking, every day. If you don’t have a 30-min-ute time frame to spare or if you’re just starting to exercise, you can break your workout into 10-minute increments.

• Strength – It’s also essential that older adults continue working their muscles, so they can easily get up from a chair, climb stairs, carry gro-ceries, and perform other daily tasks. According to the NIA, senior adults should exercise their major muscle groups at least two days per week for 30 minutes. Weights, resistance bands, and other common objects, like soup cans, can be used to train muscles. If you’re new to weightlift-ing, start light and gradu-ally increase the amount of weight.

• Balance – Improving your balance can reduce the risk of falling. When you’re starting out, you may need to use a chair or wall as support. Balance exercises, such as stand-ing on one foot, walking heel-to-toe, and practic-ing standing up and sit-ting down without using your hands, can be done anytime and anywhere.

• Flexibility – Don’t forget to stretch, so you can continue to move freely and maintain your range of motion. Having and maintaining flex-ibility makes tying shoes, reaching items on a shelf, and other actions easier. The NIA recommends that older adults stretch three to five times each workout session, slowly stretching to a position and holding it for 10 to 30 seconds.

Healthy EatingIt’s essential to main-

tain proper nutrition as you age. MyPlate, a plan introduced by the Unit-ed States Department of

Agriculture, is a remind-er to fill half of the plate with fruits and vegetables and the remainder with lean protein and grains. Here are some tips for balanced meals from ChooseMyPlate.gov:

• Vegetables – Veg-etables should have a large presence on your plate because they pro-vide vitamins and min-erals. There are many options to make sure you consume enough servings each day – fresh or fro-zen vegetables, vegetable soup, and canned vegeta-bles labeled “low sodium” or “no salt added.”

• Fruits – Fruits offer essential nutrients, including potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and folic acid. To incorporate more fruits into your diet, keep a bowl of fruit on the coun-ter, purchase dried or fro-zen fruits, top your cereal with bananas, peaches, or strawberries, or toss some with a salad.

• Whole grains – Choose whole grains such as barley, popcorn, quinoa, pilaf, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, and bulgur. When purchasing products, select options that include whole grain first on the ingredient list.

• Fat-free or low-fat dairy – Pair your meals with skim or one percent milk. These options offer calcium, vitamin D, potas-sium, and more. Individu-als can include more low-fat dairy in their diets by substituting ingredients – plain yogurt instead of sour cream, fat-free milk instead of cream, and ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese.

• Protein – Choose proteins such as lean beef and pork, chicken, turkey, nuts, eggs, beans, peas, and soy products. Pre-pare a seafood meal twice a week.

• Water – It’s essen-tial for older adults to be conscious of how much water they’re consuming. The NIA explains that as a person ages, they begin to experience a loss of the

thirst sensation. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to have a drink. Incorpo-rate water into your daily diet. Consume foods that increase water intake – soup, oranges, watermel-on, tomatoes, and leafy, green vegetables. Take a bottle of water with you when you leave home. Drink before and during workouts.

Mind MattersThere are many activi-

ties that older adults can do to keep their minds sharp. Here are some ideas:

• Stay mentally active. Play games that challenge your mind – Sudoku, crossword puzzles, chess, cards, and memory games. Continue your education by taking classes, learning a new hobby, attending lectures, and more. Stray from the norm by reading a new section in the newspaper or taking an alternative route to a familiar loca-tion.

• Keep a journal. An effective way to boost your memory is to write down the things you want to remember.

• Get enough sleep. The NIA suggests that older adults get seven to nine hours of sleep each night to increase alert-ness and boost brain function.

• Be social. According to the Mayo Clinic, social interaction can help fend off depression and stress, which can contribute to memory loss. Look for opportunities to spend time with others – go for lunch, volunteer, join a social group, and par-ticipate in other shared activities.

Fevers scare many parents. When a child’s temperature rises, it can induce panic and help-lessness. But when par-ents recognize that fevers are oftentimes not incred-ibly harmful to children, that recognition can reduce panic and overre-liance on fever-reducing medication.

If a child is healthy, a fever does not neces-sarily indicate anything serious. A fever is a rise in temperature initiated by the hypothalamus in the brain, which acts as the body’s internal ther-mostat. The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C), but if body temper-ature is measured con-sistently throughout the day, this temperature

will fluctuate. In fact, body temperature is often lower in the morning and higher in the middle of the day.

In many cases, the hypothalamus raises body temperature as the result of an infection or illness, according to the Nemours Foundation for Children’s Health. It is believed that making the body less hospitable to viruses and bacteria helps reduce their pro-pensity to grow and mul-tiply.

A fever is often a good indicator that a per-son is sick, which can sometimes be difficult to determine if there are no apparent symptoms. This can help parents and doc-tors discover what is trig-gering the fever.

For parents of toddlers and older children, a fever of 103 F or less is gener-ally nothing to run to the doctor about. There is no inherent harm in letting the fever run its course, and it can actually prove beneficial in fighting the viral or bacterial illness that is causing the fever in the first place.

If your child is a new-born, a fever of 101 F or higher can be considered a medical emergency and should be evaluated by a doctor right away. Young-sters ages 7 weeks to 3 months should be brought to a doctor immediately if they have a fever of 101 or higher.

If a child has a fever of 104 or higher and his or her body temperature will not come down to 101 or 102 even with treat-ment, this is a cause for concern. This guideline, courtesy of renowned childhood medical expert Dr. Sears, can help par-ents determine if their child’s body temperature

is something they should be concerned about.

• Normal temperature — 97 to 99 degrees (36 to 37.2 Celsius).

• Low-grade fever — 99 to 100.9 degrees (37.3 to 38.3 Celsius).

• Common fever — 101 to 103.5 degrees (38.4 to 39.7 Celsius).

• High fever — any fever over 103.6 degrees (39.8 Celsius).

Most pediatricians agree that a fever should not be treated with acet-aminophen or ibuprofen if it is not making a child extremely uncomfortable. These medications can be used if the child has pain or is complaining about how they feel about the fever. Acetaminophen is used every 4 hours while ibuprofen lasts a little longer and is given every 6 to 8 hours.

When checking fevers, parents often wonder

which thermometer is best. While some parents employ the lips-on-the-forehead method, there are more accurate meth-ods of determining tem-perature readings.

• Glass rectal or oral/underarm thermometers. These have been around the longest and have a proven record of accuracy. They do take the longest to read a temperature and can be difficult when dealing with fidgety kids.

• Ear thermometer. This quick and easy ther-mometer has become a favorite method. But accuracy can vary, giving different readings from each ear.

• Temporal thermom-eter. Another quick meth-od, this thermometer is swept across the tempo-ral artery in the forehead and has a better accuracy rating than the ear ther-mometer.

MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococ-cus aureus, a potentially dangerous type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics and may cause skin and other infections. Recent data show that Americans visit the doctor approxi-mately 12 million times each year to get checked for suspected Staph or MRSA skin infection.

“As with all regular staph infections, rec-ognizing the signs and receiving treatment for MRSA skin infections in the early stages reduces the chances of the infec-tion becoming severe,” said Jeanine Finnell RN, Delta County Memorial Hospital infection pre-ventionist.

MRSA is spread by having direct contact with another person’s infection; sharing per-sonal items, such as tow-els or razors, that have

touched infected skin; and touching surfaces or items, such as used bandages, contaminated with MRSA.

What are the signs and symptoms?

Most staph skin infec-tions, including MRSA, appear as a bump or infected area on the skin that may be red, swol-len, painful, warm to the touch, full of pus or other drainage, and accompa-nied by a fever.

What if I suspect an MRSA skin infection?

Cover the area with a bandage and contact your healthcare profes-sional. It is especially important to contact your healthcare profes-sional if signs and symp-toms of an MRSA skin infection are accompa-nied by a fever.

How are MRSA skin infections treated?

Treatment for MRSA skin infections may

include having a health-care professional drain the infection and in some cases prescribe an anti-biotic. Do not attempt to drain the infection your-self — doing so could worsen or spread it to others. If you are given an antibiotic, be sure to take all of the doses (even if the infection is getting better), unless your healthcare profes-sional tells you to stop taking it.

How can I protect my family from MRSA skin infections?

Know the signs of MRSA skin infections and get treated early.

Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered.

Encourage good hygiene such as cleaning hands regularly.

Discourage sharing of personal items such as towels and razors.

How much do youknow about MRSA?

There are many types of infections that people can contract while in the hospital. Patients are more susceptible to infec-tions because of having surgery, serious illnesses, and being treated with antibiotics.

In last month’s health page article on healthcare- associated infections, Delta County Memorial Hospital reported that in 2011 the hospital’s over-all infection rate was 0.28 percent which is significantly lower than the national average of 5 percent for rural hos-pitals as reported by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

“The staff at Delta County Memorial Hospi-tal takes infection pre-vention seriously,” says Jeanine Finnell RN, Delta County Memorial Hospital infection pre-ventionist. “There are some simple ways that patients themselves need to be aware of to prevent infection transmissions while they are in the hos-

pital.”Make sure that all

doctors, nurses, and other healthcare provid-ers clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before and after caring for you.

If you do not see pro-viders clean their hands, please ask them to do so.

Family and friends who visit you should clean their hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer. If you do not see them clean their hands, ask them to clean their hands also.

If you have a wound, inform your nurse or doc-tor if the area around it is sore or red.

You may go home with a central line IV catheter or a urinary catheter. Your doctors or nurses should explain everything you need to know about taking care of these devices, however make sure you know how to take care of them. If you develop any of the symptoms of an infection — redness or tenderness around the IV site or urinary burning or fever while having a urinary catheter, call your doctor or nurse immediately.

It is the responsibility of your caregivers to keep you safe while you are in the hospital, but you can also play a part in your health and safety!

If you have diabetes, it’s important to take care of your feet and the rest of your body. Checking your feet daily can prevent serious problems.

“People with diabe-tes can develop serious problems with their feet that can affect how easily they can walk and even lead to amputation,” said Mary Grosvenor RD, cer-tified diabetes educator at Delta County Memorial Hospital.

Many of these serious problems can be prevent-ed by taking good care of your feet and your health.

Manage your diabetes,

including keeping your blood pressure, blood sugar (glucose) and cho-lesterol at levels your health care provider rec-ommends.

Don’t smoke. Smoking reduces blood flow to the feet. Ask for help to stop smoking by calling 874-2214 and register for the FreshStart Tobacco ces-sation program at Delta County Memorial Hospi-tal during the month of October.

Make healthy food choices.

Stay at a healthy weight.

Be physically active every day.

Take your medicines even when you feel good.

Have your doctor give you a comprehensive foot exam every time you visit (at least four times a year).

Check your feet for sores and other injuries every day.

Wear shoes that fit right and do not rub or pinch your feet, or cause blisters.

Never walk barefoot or while wearing just socks.

How DiabetesCan Hurt Your FeetSome of the ways that

diabetes can harm your feet:

Diabetes reduces blood flow to certain areas of the body, especially limbs such as the legs, which makes it harder for your body to heal injuries.

Diabetes nerve damage may cause you to no lon-ger feel pain in your feet and you may not realize you have a wound or inju-ry that needs treatment.

Diabetic nerve damage appears to be more com-mon in people with the following conditions:

•problems controlling blood sugar levels

•high cholesterol•high blood pressure•overweight

•older than 40 years Warning Signs

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your health care provider or a podiatrist (foot doc-tor) right away:

You feel pain in your legs or cramping in your buttocks, thighs, or calves during physical activity.

Your feet tingle, burn, or hurt.

You lose the sense of touch or are not able to feel heat or cold very well.

The shape of your feet changes over time.

The color and tempera-ture of your feet change.

You lose hair on your

toes, feet, and lower legs. The skin on your feet

becomes dry and cracked. Your toenails turn

thick and yellow. Fungus infections such

as athlete’s foot appear between your toes.

You experience blisters, sores, ulcers, infected corns and ingrown toe-nails.

The Diabetes Support Group meets on the sec-ond Monday each month at 2:30 p.m. at Delta County Memorial Hospi-tal. For more information, please call 874-6410.

Living with diabetes: Keep your feet healthy

September is Choles-terol Education Month and making healthy food choices is one important thing you can do to reduce your risk of heart dis-ease, the leading cause of death of men and women in the United States.

According to the Amer-ican Heart Association, about 80 million adults in the U.S. have at least one form of heart disease — disorders that prevent the heart from function-ing normally — including coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems, heart defects, infections, and cardiomyopathy (thickening or enlarge-ment of the heart mus-cle).

Experts say you can reduce the risk of develop-ing these problems with lifestyle changes that include eating a healthy diet. But with racks full of books and magazines about food and recipes, what is the best diet for a healthy heart?

Ray Jensen RD, CDE, Delta County Memorial Hospital, a registered

dietitian, says to follow these simple guidelines when preparing meals:

• Balance calories to manage body weight.

• Eat at least 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day, including a variety of dark green, red, and orange vegetables, beans, and peas.

• Eat seafood (includ-ing oily fish) in place of some meat and poultry.

• Eat whole grains — the equivalent of at least three 1-ounce serv-ings a day.

• Use oils to replace solid fats.

• Use fat-free or low-fat versions of dairy prod-ucts.

You should also reduce your sodium intake. The general recommendation is to eat less than 2,300 mg. of sodium a day. But Americans 51 or older, African-Americans of any age, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney dis-ease should restrict their intake to 1,500 mg.

Packaged andRestaurant Food

One way to make sure you’re adhering to healthy guidelines is by using the nutrition labels on the packaged foods you buy.

“Product labels give consumers the power to compare foods quickly and easily so they can judge which products best fit into a heart-healthy diet or meet other dietary needs,” Jensen says. “Remember, when you see a percent DV (daily value of key nutrients) on the label, 5 percent or less is low and 20 percent or more is high.”

Follow these guide-lines when using pro-cessed foods or eating in restaurants:

• Choose lean meats and poultry. Bake it, broil it, or grill it.

• In a restaurant, opt for steamed, grilled, or broiled dishes instead of those that are fried or sautéed.

• Look on product labels for foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Most of the fats you eat should

come from polyunsatu-rated and monounsatu-rated fats, such as those found in some types of fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.

• Check product labels for foods high in potas-sium (unless you’ve been advised to restrict the amount of potassium you eat). Potassium counter-acts some of the effects of salt on blood pressure.

• Choose foods and beverages low in added sugars. Read the ingre-dient list to make sure that added sugars are not among the first ingredi-ents. Ingredients in the largest amounts are listed first. Some names for added sugars include sucrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, maple syrup, and fructose. The nutrition facts on the product label give the total sugar con-tent.

• Pick foods that pro-vide dietary fiber, like fruits, beans, vegetables, and whole grains.

Eat for a healthy heart

Hearing is something many people take for granted. While it’s cer-tainly possible to live a lifetime without so much as a single hearing prob-lem, nearly anyone who has ever been to a musi-cal concert has no doubt considered the possibil-ity of hearing loss, be it temporary or permanent. Just as common as the consideration of hear-ing loss are the myths associated with hearing loss and treatment. The Better Hearing Institute (BHI), a not-for-profit corporation with a goal of educating the public about hearing loss and what can be done about it, breaks some of those myths.

• Minor surgery can fix my hearing. Though med-

ical treatment or surgery can benefit hearing loss, only 5-10 percent of adult cases of hearing loss can benefit from surgery or other treatment.

• I have one good ear and one bad ear. When one ear is bad, the natu-ral tendency is to begin favoring the other ear when using the telephone or having face-to-face conversations. This cre-ates the illusion that the so-called “better ear” is normal when it really isn’t. In fact, according to the BHI, most types of hearing loss affect both ears equally and rough-ly 90 percent of hearing loss patients are in need of hearing aids for both ears.

• Hearing loss is for the elderly. Arguably the

most common miscon-ception about hearing loss, this is also entirely untrue. In fact, only 35 percent of people with hearing loss are over the age of 64. Nearly six mil-lion people in the United States alone between the ages of 18 and 44 have some hearing loss, and more than one million are school age.

• My doctor would have told me if I had hearing loss. According to the BHI, only 14 percent of phy-sicians routinely screen for hearing loss during a physical. Due to the quiet nature of a doctor’s office, it’s easy for the physician to assume your hearing is fine because the envi-ronment is quiet and you likely are not exhibiting any symptoms of hear-

ing loss. When visiting the doctor for your next physical, ask him to look for any signs of hearing loss during the physical.

• Hearing loss is nor-mal for my age. Hear-ing loss isn’t normal for anyone, no matter what a friend, relative or even physician might say.

• Hearing loss is untreatable. Hearing loss might have been untreat-able years ago, but tech-nology has changed that. Though surgery might not be the answer, the BHI notes that 95 per-cent of people with senso-rineural hearing loss can be helped with hearing aids.

The Western Colorado Area Health Education Center (WCAHEC) is

hosting a summit featur-ing national experts on brain and psychological health injuries on Satur-day, Oct. 13.

Only about half of the nation’s veterans seek care through the Veter-ans Affairs Department, instead relying on civil-ian providers in their communities. Trauma of war continues to appear thousands of miles from the battlefield.

The sacrifices made on the battlefield and lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan apply to the more than 4.5 mil-lion civilian head inju-ries suffered every year. The summit offers impor-tant lessons and skills to recognize and care for our returning troops and loved ones.

Senator Michael Ben-net kicks off the summit. Presenters include Dr. James Kelly, a neurolo-gist from Walter Reed National Military Medi-cal Center who helped write the book on con-cussion guidelines wide-ly used in athletic and military settings; Colonel David Sutherland, U.S.

Army (retired), past spe-cial assistant to the chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Department of Defense Warrior and Family Support Office; and Dr. Kelly Phillips-Henry, psychologist.

Health care providers will find much to value and continuing medical education is available. Others in the community — teachers, coaches, par-ents, veterans and their families, clergy, counsel-ors, elected officials and many others — will ben-efit from the inspiration and education provided.

“Understanding the issue can pave the way to protecting our loved ones,” says Dr. Carol Giffin-Jeansonne, execu-tive director of WCAH-EC. Her son sustained a severe head injury while stateside with the Colo-rado National Guard.

The morning sessions and continuing medi-cal education are free of charge and a nominal fee will be charged for lunch.

Some residents say they have paid taxes for years without receiving servicesfrom the district

BY HANK LOHMEYERStaff Writer

A long-running mix-up involving the Delta County Mosquito Control District #1 (District #1) and a half dozen departments of county gov-ernment has some residents of Orchard City complaining they are not getting servic-es they have paid taxes to receive.

Dozens of home owners living on Cory Bench at the south end of Orchard City have paid property tax assess-ments since the special dis-trict was formed in 1966. But for an undetermined number of years (beginning in 2004 or earlier) they have not received any spraying in their neigh-borhood.

In addition, some have been told by District #1 per-sonnel that they aren’t eli-gible for service because they don’t live within the district boundaries. All the while the county has collected their tax payments and remitted the money to District #1.

District #1 is formed as a special district, is not a part of the county government, and is not overseen by the Board of County Commissioners.

A resident of Cory Bench, in an e-mail to the DCI, stated she was told in 2008 that her home isn’t in the district. But she and her husband pay over $180 annually in property tax assessments to District #1.

The situation came to light last Wednesday, Sept. 12, when residents of Cory Bench came to their town board with complaints.

Betty Davis told the Orchard City town board how recently she had called Dis-trict #1 with a request for spray service. She was refused and told her house isn’t in the district. “District #1 is making a (financial) killing and we’re getting nothing,” Davis said.

What followed, she explained, was a visit to the county courthouse where she “got the runaround” through multiple departments trying to straighten the matter out, but with no success. “County GIS (geographic information systems department) and the assessor aren’t on the same page,” she said.

Mayor Don Suppes com-miserated with his constitu-ents. By paying taxes and not getting service, “you people have been wronged,” he said.

Suppes distributed maps during the town board’s meet-ing which he said were official county versions that clearly

show Cory Bench outside the boundaries of District #1. He promised to get involved. “Tomorrow morning the coun-ty commissioners’ ears will be burning and I’ll be the one behind it,” he said.

Two days later, on Friday, Sept. 14, a meeting of elected county officials and depart-ment heads was convened by county commissioner Bruce Hovde at the courthouse in Delta. Present were the coun-ty clerk, the elections direc-tor, county GIS director, two board members and staff of Mosquito Control District #1, the county treasurer, coun-ty assessor’s office, county administration, and the coun-ty health department. Mayor Suppes was not present nor were any residents of Cory Bench. Orchard City was rep-resented by the town clerk.

Maps were presented at that meeting showing a very different boundary line for District #1 than the maps dis-tributed at the Orchard City meeting two days earlier. The county’s map version showed the Cory Bench both com-pletely inside and completely outside the District #1 bound-ary. No one was able to give a clear explanation for multiple versions of the county maps showing different district boundary lines. The meeting room was filled with bemused silence. Heads shook.

Apparently Mosquito Con-trol District #1 has, for an unknown length of time, been using a map of its own bound-aries that is wrong. Repre-sentatives of District #1 did not make a presentation or a statement at the Friday meet-ing. There was no explana-tion offered and no denial or dispute of the events that had been reported. A District #1 staff member confirmed that Cory Bench and Austin had been sprayed last week after complaints were received.

Hovde said that the county “puts the burden of proof on special districts” for notifica-tion of any changes in their boundary lines. Yet District #1, which covers more than 100 sq. miles, has not changed its boundary in the Cory Bench area from its founding in 1966.

The county elections department said that a “spot check” of records shows that Cory Bench residents have been eligible to vote in Dis-trict #1 board elections.

The county assessor’s office says that District #1 boundar-ies have always been clearly and accurately stated in its legal office’s descriptions, so Cory Bench residents have received tax bills annually for District assessments.

Unanswered from Friday’s meeting is how did District #1 get the incorrect boundary data it was using about its own district boundaries?

Also unanswered:• How do different versions

of a district boundary maps get produced and distributed when county departments have and use accurate legal descriptions of the boundaries?

• Why hasn’t anyone ever noticed contradictions in the map versions before now?

• If, as was stated, Dis-trict #1 did no spraying on Cory Bench at least from 2004 to 2011 when Orchard City was conducting its own aer-ial spraying, how long prior to 2004 did District #1 also

neglect spraying on the Cory Bench?

Orchard City resident Betty Davis, who uncovered the snafu, said that after she pointed out the problems last week the district finally did a ground-based fogging the next day. The district also con-ducted fogging in Austin last week.

Hovde said that despite the lateness in the mosquito season there would be more fogging on Cory Bench and in

Austin.One last question being

asked by some residents of Cory Bench and Austin: If tax-payers have paid their assess-ments and then been excluded from mosquito spray services, can they expect to get their money back from the district, as they would expect from a private business?

Hovde ventured to answer that touchy question at Fri-day’s meeting. “There will be no tax refunds,” he said.

Orchard City residents are increasingly concerned and upset about mosquitoes and the threat of West Nile Virus in their community.

On Sept. 12, they expressed their concerns to the town board in a first-hand account of the disease.

Barb Fisher told the trust-ees how on Aug. 21 her hus-band, Darrell, “fell very ill and was rushed to the emer-gency room.”

Four days later came the positive diagnosis of West Nile virus. “Over the next 10 days he lost a pound a day,” and he now has only enough energy for a half day of activ-ity, Fisher said.

The community isn’t gener-ally aware of the seriousness of this illness, she told the town board. “This is serious. This is deadly.”

There are other West Nile

cases in Orchard City, Fisher said. “I am asking you to make it a top priority to reinstitute mosquito spraying,” she said, adding, “The EPA (Environ-mental Protection Agency) is more concerned about fish in the Gunnison than it is about people.”

Fisher is one of the Orchard City residents who holds the EPA and its new regulations accountable for the end of aerial spraying in the town, and for the resulting plague of mosquitoes, the constant threat of West Nile virus infec-tion and cases of the debilitat-ing illness. (See related story this week.)

Doug Speedie addressed the board about West Nile’s symptoms and his wife’s expe-rience with a central nervous system infection from the disease. He encouraged the trustees to keep “working and trying if at all possible” to find a way to resume spraying.

Health worries prompt appeal for aerial spraying

BY HANK LOHMEYERStaff Writer

Orchard City residents upset over new federal reg-ulations that have brought an end to the town’s popular and successful aerial mos-quito spraying program are blaming the Environmental Protection Agency for hav-ing to live with the constant fear of West Nile Virus infec-tion from insect bites, and for new human cases of WNV in Orchard City this year.

Town trustee Jan Gage told the DCI in an e-mail, “We must figure out a way to get the EPA to allow aerial spray-ing before more people die!”

Earlier this year the Orchard City Town Board went on record with a unani-mous resolution to repeal the new EPA regulations so that aerial spraying can again be used.

That resolution was car-ried to Rep. Scott Tipton by Mayor Don Suppes. Suppes reported, “There isn’t going to be any change until a change is made in the White House and Senate.”

At the Orchard City town board’s Sept. 12 meeting, resi-dent Max DeBusk told the trustees that he wants to see the EPA’s anti-aerial spraying regulations repealed so that the effective program of aerial spraying that Orchard City adopted from 2004 until this year can be reinstituted.

Gage is only one of the trustees who intends to pur-sue the issue and sees a com-munity-based campaign as the best option. “I truly believe we can make a difference and it

is probably going to take a grass-roots campaign to make it happen. But next year I expect to be able to stand before my constituents and tell them we did everything we possible could to resolve this issue. If I am unsuccess-ful, at least I want to have a clear conscience.”

The town’s budget included

funds for aerial spraying this year, funds that have gone unspent because the EPA’s regulations have made aerial application too risky in terms of legal liability for the local service to attempt.

The town board will leave that money in its budget next year in hopes that the pro-gram can be restarted.

Residents blame EPA for mosquito threat

Before winter comes, town officials in Orchard City hope to have complet-ed a month-long program to rationalize their sprawl-ing, outside-of-town water distribution enterprise.

The last five of the town’s 38 private pipe-line companies reached agreement with the town last week on submit-ting required paperwork and installing system upgrades. Three of the companies were given extensions to complete compliance with the town’s new rules for water service.

The Kehmeier Pipeline was given until Nov. 1 to complete required compli-ance on paperwork sub-missions and backflow prevention. Issues yet to be fully resolved between the two users on the pipe-line have left the compa-ny’s contract for service expired since July of last year.

Town Attorney Larry Beckner advised the trustees that the water

users’ private discussions were a “political” matter, and that the town board’s policy role was to decide on whether to grant an extension, and if so how long of one.

The Bull Mesa Pipeline was given until Nov. 15 to work out details with the town public works depart-ment on technical issues for installing a required cross-system connection device.

The Steinmiller Pipe-line was given a 30-day extension beyond the date of receiving a CDOT per-mit to perform system installation work within the CDOT right-of-way along Hwy. 65 north of Orchard City. The town is working with the pipeline users to help them get the CDOT permit.

One of four properties on the Steinmiller Pipe-line is in foreclosure and another is likely soon to be, trustees were told. Trustees said they will grant leniency to the com-pany for completing its articles of incorporation until ownership of the

distressed properties is resolved.

Another private pipe-line company, the Cox Pipeline, was granted until Nov. 15 to complete a system upgrade that will qualify it for being taken over by the town. Trustees voted to extend its upgrade and takeover program to the company, and to pay its share of half the materials cost, esti-mated at $1,651.

A fifth pipeline com-pany had completed its required upgrade work and system documenta-tion earlier in the week.

In other business at its Sept. 12 regular meet-ing, the town board noted the resignation of trustee Matt Soper. Letters from eligible applicants want-ing appointment to the remainder of his two-year term that began in April are now being accepted at town hall. Mayor Don Suppes said that the trust-ees hope to appoint his successor at their October meeting.

Orchard City’s watersystem is improved

Paul Duckworth is a natural-born salesman. Put him in a room with a crowd and he will seek out everyone in the room, look each person in the eye, offer a handshake and introduce himself. He is careful to repeat each person’s name as he meets them and his recall for names is photograph-ic. What’s even more impressive is that Paul is only five years old — and he is in a wheelchair.

The Delta and Cedaredge Rotary clubs recently saw Paul in action when he visited each club with his par-ents, Gary and Vicki Duckworth of Cedaredge. Paul is in need of a hand-icapped-accessible van and the two area Rotary clubs, along with sup-port from the Crested Butte Rotary Club, have launched a local effort to raise funds to purchase a van. The clubs will host a “What’s A Duck Worth?” van fundraiser at the Cedaredge AppleFest the first weekend of October. For a $2 donation ($5 for three guesses) con-testants will guess, for prizes, the number of rubber duckies in the van (the rubber duckies are on loan from the Crested Butte Rotary). Paul has visited both local clubs with his mother so Rota-ry members could learn more about his disability.

“Paul is an impressive young man,” said Marjo-rie Conner, president of the Cedaredge club. “He really charmed us. Vicki and Gary are great par-ents and very humble. This is a very worthwhile project.”

Nancy Wood, imme-diate past president of the Delta Rotary Club, echoed Conner’s senti-ment. “Paul is a neat little boy and he and his family are very deserving of this community effort.”

Paul’s disabilities are extensive. Born with spina bifida, he had the first of many operations on the day he was born. Paul is paralyzed below the waist. He also has Arnold Chiari II, severe fluid on the spine. He was recently diagnosed with scoliosis of the spine, which may necessitate surgery every six months while he is growing, and then a spinal fusion when he is older. He has food allergies and distressing digestive issues. He also has sensory and gross motor challenges.

Another thing Paul has is a brilliant mind and a beautiful singing voice. Bev Stitt, who lives about 100 yards from the Duckworths, said it is very inspiring to listen to Paul. “I can hear him in nice weather when the windows are open and he

is so full of joy when he sings. It is such a happy start to my day when I hear Paul sing.”

Another neighbor, John Mitchell, is also impressed with Paul.

“It’s easy to forget that he is only five years old. He converses at a near adult level, has a great sense of humor and is extremely inquisitive to learn whatever he can from everybody he meets.”

Paul started kinder-garten in Cedaredge this school year where he is social and engaging with his new classmates.

Paul’s parents must make frequent trips to Denver Children’s Hos-pital for Paul’s extensive ongoing care with many physicians. Their fam-ily sedan is too small to transport Paul and all the equipment he requires. This means that Paul has to do without some of the equipment — such as a stander — that makes his daily routine much easier. The fundraising effort is in response to a very generous offer by a Rotary member who has made available a used handicapped van in excellent condition with

a wheelchair lift at more than a third below the book value of the vehicle.

Paul will attend the AppleFest fundraiser as much as possible; his parents, Rotary mem-bers, church members and neighbors will also be at the booth for the entire festival. His sen-sory issues make these kinds of events difficult, but Paul likes to socialize and meet people.

The Delta and Cedaredge Rotaries are also collecting donations on behalf of the project. Monetary donations can be made to Delta Rotary Club, P.O. Box 86, Delta CO 81416. Please note on any check “Duckworth Van Project.” The Rotary clubs are already halfway to the goal, through gen-erous donations of Rotary and community mem-bers. Marjorie Conner reports that the goal is to raise more than the pur-chase price so an ongoing maintenance fund can also be established. The clubs are also collecting prize donations for the winners of the “What’s A Duck Worth?” contest. For further information contact Marjorie Conner at 856-3352.

The band Giddyup Kitty is scheduled for a performance in Cedaredge this Friday.

The band is composed of three musicians that make the Eastern Slope of Colorado their home.

Members of the band are all seasoned perform-ers; they are Kerry Clax-ton on vocals, guitar and mandolin; Adrienne Yauk on vocals, guitar and dobro; and, Marni Pick-ens on bass.

Special guest Rodd Taylor on fiddle will per-form with the band.

Their concerts are high energy and audienc-es will be introduced to original materials as well as traditional music.

Kerry Claxton has been performing bluegrass and other alternative forms of music for 20-plus years. She has played in most of the major festivals in Colorado including the Telluride, Mid-Winter, Rocky Mountain (Rocky Grass) and the North Fork Bluegrass Festivals. She is an award-winning singer and songwriter and is also an accom-plished musician on the mandolin, guitar, and bass. Kerry has released one solo CD and has per-formed on several other projects.

Adrienne Yauk has been performing in the West for longer than she can remember and has also traveled the world and weathered the storms. Always seeking new musical experiences and having inordinate amounts of fun is what keeps her going – playing with Kerry, Marni, and “the Kitty” is no excep-tion.

She is an accomplished vocalist who plays dobro, guitar and piano.

As a songwriter she’s won accolades at the Ker-rville, Texas, New Arts Festival and KBCO’s songwriter’s competition.

Marni Pickens is a lit-tle bit country, a little bit rock and roll, and a lot of

bass player. Born in the shadows of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, she moved to New York City. As a city-dweller Marni learned how to navigate intricate subway systems and how to play just about any type of music. From CBGB to the Bitter End, she has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Joey Remo-ne, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ronnie Spector, Kristen Thien, Torin Alter, David Driver, and Gretchen Phillips.

Location of the event is the Pondy, on Main Street in Cedaredge. This will be a smoke-free event. Tickets, available at the door, are $10. The show begins at 7 p.m.

GoldeneyeAs you read this col-

umn, I’m attending the first annual Yampa Valley Crane Festival in Steam-boat Springs. This festi-val follows the opposition to a petition to hunt our cranes in the Yampa Val-ley, and I’m delighted to be here enjoying every moment!

But I remember an afternoon’s drive up Highway 65 to the Grand Mesa last week. Familiar but always new. The ser-viceberry shrubs colored the landscape — rounded mounds of soft gold, or depending on your mood, fading yellow. Some of the scrub oaks were begin-ning to change. They’ll become a fascinating

mass of metallic look-ing colors in yellow, gold, bronze, maroon and red.

But all along the road, from Cedaredge to the top of the Grand Mesa, were bright yellow sunflow-ers that seemed to defy autumn. Allen pulled off the road, and I scrambled out of the car to admire these common wildflow-

ers. I eagerly await them, but on the down side, they’re harbingers of autumn with winter not far behind.

This wildflower’s also known as showy golden-eye and as sunspot and you may find it either as Heliomeris multiflora (Greek helio=sun and meris=part) in wildflower guides or as Viguiera mul-tiflora in seed catalogs. It occurs throughout the western states except for Washington and Oregon, with a subspecies, labeled nevadensis (occurring in Nevada) which has nar-rower leaves.

As a member of the

sunflower family, the blossom is actually made up of numerous individ-ual flowers arranged to mimic a single blossom. There are bright yellow petals (technically called “ray flowers”), and tiny flowers in the center (called “disk flowers”). The disk flowers look dark yellow, but on closer inspection each tiny flow-er is darker at the base but topped with yellow pollen. And these wild-flowers can occur as only one or two along the road or as a 3-feet-wide mass of gold. Goldeneye is a treasure of our autumn landscape. Enjoy!

On Sunday, Sept. 9, on her way home from the Club 20 debates, State Rep. Millie Hamner dropped in to visit with voters at Cedaredge Town Park. She is a candidate for the newly created House District 61, which includes the Surface Creek and North Fork areas of Delta County.

In attendance were Barbara Silverman, Gerry Murano, Wilma Reeves, Dea Jacobson and Elaine Brett.

Issues discussed included the many chal-lenges in maintaining small businesses in the county. The Gallagher Amendment was men-tioned as being particu-larly onerous. The amend-ment, which passed in 1982, shifted large amounts of property tax liability from residential to commercial property owners and discouraged business investment and economic development.

Other issues discussed were the needs of seniors

and veterans, the impor-tance to our economy of our scenic byways, tour-ism, hunting and fishing, energy development and watershed protection.

Rep. Millie Hamner was appointed to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Rep. Christine Scanlan in House District 56 on Dec. 12, 2010. She began her career in Colorado public education as a teacher and administra-

tor in the Eagle County School District in 1978. She taught and served the Eagle County School District for 23 years before being asked to become assistant super-intendent of the Summit School District in the fall of 2001. She was pro-moted to superintendent in March 2004.

More information can be found at her website, www.milliehamner.com.

Delta, 2-1 and 1-0, in 3A WSL football stand-ings, had its hands full with the visiting Eagle Valley Devils last Friday. The Panthers lost four fumbles during the game but managed to rally for

a second-half comeback and a 25-21 win in WSL play.

Eagle Valley rocked the Panthers, and their fans, with an 87-yard touch-down on the game’s open-ing kickoff. Cole Nielsen took the initial kickoff from Jonney Ponce and

twisted his way through the Delta defenders to score the game’s first touchdown with 11:46 left in the period. Travis Edgar booted the extra point to make Eagle Val-ley’s lead 7-0.

A fumble on Delta’s first possession gave the

ball right back to the Dev-ils. Eagle Valley could get no closer than the Pan-thers’ 29 in their next two possessions and the first quarter score was 7-0.

Delta, operating on a series of downs originat-ing in the first quarter from its own 34, scored with 10:28 left in the second stanza on a 21-yard pass from Mitch Whiteside to Chris Black. Ponce’s PAT kick was no good and Eagle Valley held a 7-6 lead.

On the Devil’s next possession, quarterback Jordan Hudspeth tossed a nine-yard scoring strike to Zeke Sandoval with 5:42 left before halftime. The 13-play drive culmi-nated with Edgar’s PAT kick to make the score 14-6.

Later in the second quarter, Eagle Valley scored from the one on Cody Thurston’s run with 6.9 left before the half. The Edgar kick made it 21-6 at the break.

Delta got its second touchdown of the game at the 5:55 mark of the third period when Black collected a 26-yard scor-ing strike from Mitchell Whiteside. The 10-play scoring drive covered 62 yards. Ponce kicked the extra point to make the

score 21-13.The Panther’s second

possession of the period resulted in an 11-play drive that covered 82 yards and a Robert Wil-liams four-yard plunge. A two-point conversion attempt failed to leave Eagle Valley ahead 21-19 with 21.9 left in the third frame.

On Delta’s second possession of the fourth quarter, the Panthers moved the ball 89 yards in 10 plays with Williams bulling his way into the end zone from five yards out. A two-point conver-sion failed again and Delta was ahead for the first time at 25-21 with 1:27 left in the game.

Delta’s defense sty-mied the Devils the rest of the way to hold on for a 3A WSL win.

Mitchell Whiteside was 11 for 19 in the passing department for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Black was Whiteside’s go-to player with nine catch-es for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Ryan Whiteside hauled in two of his brother’s aerials for 59 yards.

On the ground, Delta used a two-pronged run-ning attack with Wil-liams getting the bulk of the load with 29 carries

and 101 yards. Mitchell Whiteside used the option well to collect 48 yards on 18 carries.

Cole Nielsen was Eagle Valley’s leading ground-gainer with 48 yards on 13 carries.

Eagle Valley finished with 96 yards on the ground and another 77 through the air for a total of 173. Delta had 149 yards on the ground and 203 through the air for a total of 352 yards.

Black commented on what the win meant for the team. “It means we kept on fighting as a team and were not going to give up. It was an impor-tant win for us.”

Head coach Ben John-son was also pleased with his team’s efforts. “It was a good win for us, but we still have some things to work on. We turned the ball over too many times and our execution was not as good as it could be.”

Rifle and Palisade are atop the tough 3A WSL standings with 2-0 league marks and 3-0 overall. Delta is in third place with its 1-0 league and 2-1 overall records.

Delta is in Craig to face Moffat County’s Bulldogs (1-1 and 2-1) on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.

On Saturday, against the Del Norte Tigers, Galley scored 32 points in the Bulldogs’ 42-12 win in Del Norte. Galley had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the second half.

BY WAYNE CRICKDCI Sports Editor

After a narrow sea-son-opening win at Olathe and a three-point loss at home to No. 1 Buena Vista, the Bull-dogs kicked their game into high gear Saturday, defeating Del Norte 42-12, at Del Norte.

It was the first loss of the season for the Tigers (2-1 overall, 0-0 Southern Peaks League), who were also celebrating their homecoming.

Senior Jacobe Gal-ley rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns, returned the second-half opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, and was 6-6 in PATs. Josh

Hardin connected on five of 12 passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

The Tigers ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter, but failed to score on a PAT and a two-point conversion attempt. The Tigers were trailing 28-12 and threatening to close the point gap when Galley intercepted the ball, the Tigers’ second turnover of the game, with 44 seconds remain-ing in the first half of play.

Tight end Conner Beard caught two Hardin passes for touchdowns in the first quarter, and Trenton Tamayo ran for 95 yards in six carries, including one touch-

down. Chris Allen caught two passes for 28 yards, Devan Rupe had two car-ries for 12 yards, Alex Smith added 31 yards and River Panish added 29 yards to the Bulldogs’ 294-yard rushing game.

At the end of week four, and with one game remaining before the start of league play, the Bulldogs remain the No. 4 team in Colorado Preps rankings. They face the Southern Peaks League’s Monte Vista (3-0 overall, 0-0 league) Friday night, at Monte Vista.

The Pirates have out-scored their opponents 108-13 this season, including a 47-13 win at Roaring Fork last Friday.

Bulldogs score biggrid win at Del Norte

BY WAYNE CRICKDCI Sports Editor

At 9-0, Paonia remains the only undefeated team in 2A Western Slope League volleyball after posting another four con-vincing wins last week.

The team doesn’t have a lot of height, and they are starting a freshman and two sophomores. Their bench is, thus far, only two players deep. One of the reasons for their early-season success is consistency. And that is one of many strengths that Carson Pipher, the team’s only junior, brings to the team this season.

“The last couple of years I’ve been inconsis-tent with my hitting,” said Pipher, an athletic 5-foot-5 outside hitter who made the varsity squad her freshman year. “I’m starting to get more con-sistent. That’s good. And the team is doing well, so that’s all that matters, really.”

The Lady Eagles also debuted at No. 10 in Col-orado Prep’s state rank-ings. They are the only Western Slope team cur-rently among the top 10

teams, although Rangely (5-1 overall, 2-0 WSL) is among the teams to watch. Paonia will host the Lady Panthers on Sept. 28, as part of their Homecoming Week cel-ebration.

Paonia opened the week with a 3-0 win over Norwood (1-2, 0-1, 1A San Juan League). The Mav-ericks are ranked seventh in state 1A competition and put up a good fight against Paonia. After a 25-16 win in game one, Norwood took game two to extra points, with Paonia pulling out a 27-25 win. Paonia wrapped up the match with a 25-22 game three win. Ce’rra Carsten led the team in kills with 15, with Pipher contrib-uting 21 of the team’s 118 attacks.

Abby Campbell, Ce’rra Carston and Easton Har-tigan each recorded more than 10 digs.

Paonia played four sets to win its league opener Friday at Vail Mountain (2-2, 1-1). “We should have beat them in three,” said Pipher, call-ing it a “pretty tough” match. Errors in game

three pushed the match to a fourth game.

Paonia hosted a trian-

gular with Meeker and West Grand Saturday. Meeker opened with a

25-18 win in game one, but Paonia scored 30 kills and nine serving aces to

win the match in four. Taylor Plymale came off the bench to contribute nine of the team’s 65 digs.

Meeker threatened again late in game four when Pipher fired up the team and the crowd with a well-placed kill shot to the back corner. “That was fun,” said Pipher of the kill. “That’s why you play the game.”

Against West Grand, the Mustangs were lead-ing 19-9 in game two when Taylor Carsten started serving. The two teams battled through several long volleys, but Carsten got the ball over the net 16 times to give the Lady Eagles a 25-19 win. Carsten had a total of seven aces for the night.

Paonia hosts North Park this Friday and travels to Soroco Sat-urday. They’re a young team, said Pipher, but they’re very supportive of each other. “And that’s important that we keep that going and not fall apart,” said Pipher. “As long as we can do that, we can do good.”

The Cedaredge Bruin football team seems to have found the ingredi-ents for success as they traveled to Del Norte last Friday (Sept. 14) and handed the Tigers a 38-0 drubbing.

Dante Markley was on in the passing depart-ment as he threw nine times with four comple-tions and three touch-downs. Bruins’ receiv-ers accounted for 95 of Cedaredge’s 234 total yards.

Cedaredge took con-

trol of the game in the opening quarter with 20 unanswered points. On the game’s first play, Dante Markley hit Reid Gates with a 60-yard catch and run play to put the Bruins up 6-0 with nearly 11 minutes left to play in the period. Ale-jandro Alejandre booted the extra point to make it 7-0.

Kyle Ward hauled in the next touchdown pass from Markley that cov-ered 30 yards. The PAT failed and Cedaredge led 13-0.

A third pass before the first quarter ended made it 20-0 after Alejandre’s PAT kick.

In the second quarter, Carter Wasser scored the first of his three touch-downs on a three-yard run. The missed PAT left Cedaredge ahead 26-0 at the half.

Cedaredge posted two more scores in the third quarter to close out the game’s scoring stats. Carter Wasser’s second score of the game came from two yards out near the three minute mark of the third quarter. The PAT was no good and the Bruins led 32-0.

Markley completed his fourth pass of the game to Carter Wasser for the game’s final score. Was-ser hauled in the 10-yard scoring strike with little time left on the clock in the third stanza. A missed PAT left the game’s final score at 38-0.

Carter Wasser had 59 yards rushing on eight carries while Gates fin-ished with 55 yards on eight carries.

Defensively, Carter Wasser had five solo tackles and five assists to lead the Bruins’ in that department. Markley,

The week started out with an always-tough rivalry with the Olathe Lady Pirates on Tues-day, Sept. 11. These two teams are almost always guaranteed to provide a quality contest for fans to watch and coaches to wring their hands over. This year’s battle did not disappoint.

Olathe hosted Delta and jumped out to a one-set advantage after post-ing a 25-21 win.

The visiting Panthers scrapped their way to a second-set win of 26-24 to tie the match.

Delta got the big-gest marginal win of the match in set three with its 25-20 decision to go up 2-1 in set-play. Olathe was not through yet how-ever as they closed out a 25-23 squeaker in set four to tie the match at

2-2.With a few breaks,

this game might well have been still being played. The fifth set was back and forth with Delta eventually holding on for a 16-14 edge and a 3-2 match win.

In Palisade on Thurs-day (Sept. 13) the play closely resembled what had happened in Olathe just two days earlier. Pal-isade rolled to a first-set win of 25-20 and Delta tied the match with a 25-19 win in the second set.

It was Palisade’s turn to win the third set with a 25-22 decision. Delta was strong in the fourth set and seemed to have game momentum on its side as it won 25-18.

The fifth set came down to who would make the least mistakes to decide the winner. Delta failed to receive serve on three straight occasions

and the Bulldogs gained a lead that led to a 15-11 win.

A Saturday match with Eagle Valley was the second straight 4A league match for Delta. The Lady Devils stayed close to Delta but could not overcome several hitting errors and other miscues to lose in three straight sets 25-19, 25-23 and 25-19.

Delta is currently in fourth place in the tough 4A WSL with records of 1-1 in league and 5-4 overall. Sitting atop league standings is Battle Mountain (1-0, 3-1). Close behind the Lady Huskies is Glenwood Springs (1-0, 4-4) and Palisade (1-0, 4-4).

Delta is at Central on Thursday (Sept. 20) at 6:30 p.m. and trav-els to Steamboat Springs on Saturday for a 1 p.m. match.

For the past few sea-sons the Hotchkiss cross country team competed in week three at the Grand Junction meet. This year, they opted for a change and ran Satur-day at the annual Eagle Valley Cross Country Invitational, which was largely a 3A meet.

For the third con-secutive race, Hotchkiss placed three girls in the top 10. Natalie Anderson set a new course record of 19 minutes, 27.3 seconds for the win, and Jenni Celis set a new personal best time of 19:44.7 to place second. Freshman Mae Anderson also set a personal record of 20:48 to place eighth.

The Hotchkiss girls team placed second with 47 points, behind Sum-mit High School, a 4A school, with 39 points.

Freshman Sophia Schelle also set a per-sonal record of 21:41.2 to place 19th, and Tiffany Clock finished in 22:01.76 to place 21st. Laura Edigi ran her best time of the season to place 85th, with Nilam Hypio finish-ing 86th.

A total of 93 girls com-pleted the 5,000-meter course.

Hotchkiss placed two runners in the top 10 in the boys race. Cody Bartlett ran a personal best time of 16 minutes, 59.4 seconds to finish third, and Andrew Tiede-mann also set a new per-sonal best time of 17:25.4 to place sixth.

Class 2A Rangely

High School senior Wil-liam Scroggins set a new course record of 16:41.90 for the win. Teammates Kurt Katzdorn and Tyrell Clock all finished in the top 25 to give the boys a second-place team finish with 66 points. Eagle Val-ley claimed the boys title with 32 points.

Bryce Homme and Luke Yerion both set new personal best times to the finish line in under 20 minutes, placing 39th and 40th respectively. Taylor Schreiner finished in 20:02.7 to place in the top 50. Clayton Oxford, Eddie Cambria, Keegan Palmer, Will Drbohlav and Andrew Oviedo also completed the course.

More than 120 runners from nine schools com-peted in the event.

Hotchkiss will race in more familiar territory when they host the 12th annual Hotchkiss Invita-tional this Saturday, at Hotchkiss High School. Paonia, Grand Valley, Coal Ridge, Ouray, Tel-luride, Grand Junction Central and Montrose will be represented at the meet.

The Dobie Desert Clas-sic open race begins at 9 a.m. Registration starts at 8 a.m. Entry fee is $15, which includes a T-shirt. Junior high races begin at 9:45 a.m., followed by the high school girls and boys varsity races.

Four weeks into the season and Paonia has yet to play a home game. They also have yet to earn a win and are now 0-3 fol-lowing a 7-6 loss last Sat-urday at Centauri.

The Eagles turned the

ball over five times on fumbles and threw one interception against the Falcons. But the game was a big improvement over the previous week’s 38-13 loss to Grand Valley. The team simply wasn’t pre-pared for Grand Valley, said head coach Rienks.

A lot of factors lie behind that, but ultimately, it’s the responsibility of the coach to have his team ready for the game.

Quarterback Ty Coats said that against the Car-dinals there was some confusion over calls, and the result was a series of poorly executed plays that left the Eagles trail-ing 32-6 at the half. They made some adjustments and outscored Grand Val-ley, 7-6, in the second half.

The team spent much of last week’s practices re-working calls, said Coats.

While only one play was misread at Centauri, they couldn’t overcome the turnovers.

“The bottom line,” said Rienks, “is that you can’t have five turnovers and one interception and win games.”

Despite the loss, a lot of good things hap-pened, said Rienks. The Centauri offense was big and pounded the Eagles with their double-wing

formation. “The line did a really good job at holding them,” said Rienks. Mor-gan Rieder led the team in tackles with 14, and Tony Darling contributed 13. Dylan Stroud and Joel Simianer both had five tackles and a sack, and Simianer also recovered a Centauri fumble.

Cornerback Taylor Katzer and safety Tay-lor Walters each had two interceptions.

The offense was able to move the ball well against Centauri, with Coats passing for 50 yards, Jesse Reed rush-

ing for 96 yards and Rie-der another 54. Coats connected with freshman running back Taylor Wal-ters for 61 yards.

The longest Eagles drive of the game, 70 yards, came in the fourth quarter and was fueled by a 33-yard run by Will Austin.

The drive concluded with a four-yard touch-down run by Rieder. The Eagles failed to connect on the conversion.

“Other than turnovers, the game was definitely a step in the right direc-tion,” said Rienks.

The Eagles have two

consecutive home games, beginning Saturday at 1 p.m. against Dolores. This game was originally scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m.

Paonia hasn’t lost to the Bears (1-2, 0-0, Southern Peaks League) in the last four years. They played shut-out wins in 2008 (22-0) and last year (32-0) and out-scored Dolores 94-21 in the games in between.

Delta’s soccer woes continued last week with a pair of losses to Roaring Fork and Battle Moun-tain. Both losses were 3-0 deficits.

The Panthers, play-ing in the 4A WSL, took on Roaring Fork’s Rams on Thursday, Sept. 13, at Delta Middle School stadium and faced Battle Mountain in Edwards on Saturday.

Against the Rams, defense was the name of the game as the usu-ally potent Roaring Fork offense was held to one goal in the first half before a second half rally netted two goals for a 3-0

win. Lalo Clement scored twice for the Rams and Enrique Abarca once to account for Roaring Fork’s scoring.

Delta coach Elaine Wood knew going into Edwards the Huskies were a team to be cau-tious with. As it turned out, the Panthers played a strong defensive game once again and lost to the 4A WSL leaders 3-0.

Battle Mountain’s Joe Lybarger found the back of the net for two goals and Chris Shea scored once to lead the Huskies to their fifth win against no losses.

In a conversation with Wood on Monday morning the excitement

was still in the Delta coach’s voice. “This was a tough defensive game. We played them (Battle Mountain) different and played a solid defensive game. Battle Mountain is a top team and is rated in the top five in the state. I was proud of the way we played. We felt as though we had won the game.”

Battle Mountain took only seven shots in the match and the Panthers had three shots on goal.

In the 4A WSL, Delta finds themselves well down in the standings despite having played many of their foes close.

Battle Mountain is the league leader at 3-0-0 in league and 5-0-0 overall.

Close behind the Lady Huskies is Summit whose record is 3-0-0 and 4-1-0. Steamboat Springs is listed third at 2-2-0 and 3-2-0, Palisade is fourth with its 2-2-0 and 2-2-0, and Eagle Valley is fifth at 2-3-0.

Sixth place belongs to Rifle (1-2-0 and 2-2-0) and Delta is listed sev-enth at 0-3 and 2-5 over-all. Glenwood Springs is in the cellar with a record of 0-3-0 and 1-3-0.

Delta is looking at a three-game run starting on Sept. 18 in Coal Ridge at 4 p.m. Next for the Panthers is Eagle Valley in Delta on Saturday at 12 noon and on Tuesday, Sept. 25, Delta travels to Aspen for a match begin-ning at 4 p.m.

Beau Hebert, and Gates finished with four tackles each. Dustin Stracener had three solo tackles and three assists.

Markley had a pair of interceptions for 72 yards and Cade Wasser one pil-fer for no yards.

Cedaredge currently leads the 1A WSL with a 3-1 record. Hotchkiss is second at 2-1 with Roaring Fork next at 1-2, Meeker at 0-2, Lake County 0-3, and Paonia 0-3.

Up next for Cedaredge is a bye week. But the week after that is a big showdown with the Hotchkiss Bulldogs in Hotchkiss.

It was an up and down week for Hotchkiss, with the Lady Bulldogs vol-leyball team ending the week at 1-2, including a grueling three-set loss to Roaring Fork (8-1 over-all, 1-0 3A Western Slope League) on Sept. 11.

Rams senior twins Megan and Hattie Giani-netti recorded seven kills toward Roaring Fork’s win.

In game one’s 25-9 loss, two of the Bulldogs’ nine points came on kills by Daryll Batt.

Batt opened game two

with a kill shot, but the Lady Rams persisted. Hotchkiss put up a strong defense, and only allowed the Lady Rams one ser-vice ace.

The Lady Bulldogs hit their stride in game three, trailing by less than three through most of the game and tying it up at 14-all on a kill shot by Savannah Rocha. Fol-lowing a string of long volleys, Hotchkiss trailed 20-18.

Roaring Fork took con-trol on a service error, and wrapped the game up at 25-19.

Hotchkiss hosted a tri-

angular Saturday, play-ing West Grand (5-5, 3-2 2A WSL) in the afternoon and Meeker (4-3, 1-0 WSL) in the evening.

Batt, an outside hit-ter, was named player of the game after recording 12 serving aces, 10 digs, 19 attacks and eight kills in the 3-0 win over West Grand (17-25, 23-25, 21-25).

Kristina Deloury had 22 attacks and six kills and Kelli Buhrdorf added four kills to the win. Rocha made five of the team’s eight solo blocks.

Of their 71 serve attempts, Hotchkiss

made only three errors and scored 16 serve aces.

Saturday evening, Hotchkiss played three close sets against Meeker (25-21, 25-19, 26-24), but failed to gain a win.

Hotchkiss is now 2-5 overall and 1-2 in league play.

The Lady Bulldogs host Rifle (4-4, 1-0, 3A Western Slope League) Friday, with games begin-ning at 4 p.m.

On Saturday, Hotchkiss travels to Pla-teau Valley (2-5, 0-2, 1A WSL). On Sept. 25, they host Cedaredge begin-ning at 4 p.m.

When Derrick Griffiths was offered a job at Cedaredge High School, there was one catch.

“In order to accept the teaching position, they said I have to coach tennis as well,” said Griffiths, who began teaching art at CHS in August. “I said all right. I’ve always wanted to coach whatever, but I’ve never coached ten-nis.”

Griffiths, a first-year teacher and graduate of Colorado Mesa Univer-sity, is the first new head tennis coach in more than 30 years and takes over the boys’ team from Don McFadden, who retired last spring after more than three decades of coaching. McFadden is expected to return this spring to coach the girls’ team.

Griffiths, who also teaches a physical edu-cation class, hasn’t ever played tennis, but spent this summer preparing for his new job, which included a lot of time on the on-line tutorial capi-tal of YouTube.

The job comes with some challenges. For one, Cedaredge has only seven players, so each match opens with forfeits at three and four doubles.

Only three players have experience. Junior Austin Bowen is playing

No. 1 singles, and Ryan Bowen, a sophomore and Austin’s brother, plays at 2 singles after playing at 1 doubles his freshman year.

“They’ve helped me a lot,” said Griffiths. “They’ve stepped up into that leadership role and to help me coach.”

Peter Plonka, a senior exchange student from Poland, is the third sin-gles player. Plonka played for eight years, then took time off after breaking his arm.

Landen Eckhart and Arie Wick are both play-ing their first season ever and partnered at No. 1 doubles. Garrett Peter-son and Chris Runnels are playing at 2 doubles. Runnels, a new student at Cedaredge, said he came out because the team needed players and is enjoying the sport.

They’ve had some tough matches, said Griffiths. “Montrose really beat us up,” he said. And they’ve lost both matches against Hotchkiss, although last Thursday’s matches were much closer than their previous meeting on Sept. 6. Hotchkiss coach Brian Benson commended the players on their improve-ment.

Griffiths credited strong work ethics for his team’s improvement and all-around good attitude.

“From day one there’s been so much improve-ment in how they’re playing,” said Griffiths. “These guys, they like to play no matter what. I think they’re having fun.”

Griffiths said he learned early on that in Colorado there are only two classes — 4A and 5A. With just over 260 stu-dents, Cedaredge is one of the smallest schools on the Western Slope that has a team. “I figured we would be a small team in a tough league.” Still, he said, the team has as much fun playing against the bigger schools as it does the small schools.

Coach McFadden has also helped with practic-es and traveled to Grand Junction meets with the team. That saves Griffiths from having to return with the team to Cedaredge, since he com-mutes from Palisade.

The season — at six weeks the shortest of all fall sports — is going by fast, said Griffiths. The team will compete this Friday and Saturday at the annual Delta tourna-ment.

Coach McFadden coordinated the tourna-ment for several years, but Griffiths thankfully won’t be strapped with that task, which was handed off to Hotchkiss coach Brian Benson.

David Oviedo and Ulises Mendoza lost in a close 6-4, 6-2 match at 1 doubles, and Tyler Sup-pes and Keegan Burke were defeated, 6-2, 6-1.

On Thursday, Hotchkiss blanked Cedaredge, 7-0. It was the second time for the two teams to meet this sea-son, and the second time for Hotchkiss to sweep the match. Cedaredge is

a young team with a new head coach.

“Cedaredge played really well this time around,” said Hotchkiss head coach Brian Benson, “and some of the matches were way closer than the score would indicate.”

This week’s wins bring the Bulldogs’ record to 4-3.

Cedaredge and Hotchkiss will compete this Friday and Satur-day at the annual Delta County Invitational tour-nament.

Grand Junction JV, Fruita Monument JV, Montrose, Montezuma-Cortez and Grand Junc-tion Central will also compete.

Matches begin both days at approximately 8:30 a.m., at Cleland Park (1, 2 and 3 singles and 1 doubles) and at Bill Heddles Recreation Cen-ter (2, 3 and 4 doubles).

D2 Wednesday, September 19, 2012 CLASSIFIEDS Delta County Independent

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERSBy DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

251 Meeker St., Delta • 874-8721September 20, 1912

(From the Delta Independent)Right in the busiest of busy shipping seasons for

the orchards of the North Fork, a weak bridge across a deep ravine near Lazear, on the branch, gave way Monday afternoon and allowed seven cars loaded with coal to go to the bottom, seventy feet or more.

An Independent reporter was at the scene of the wreck Tuesday afternoon and could easily determine that it was equal to any occurring in this section of the state for some time. The heavily loaded cars were reduced to a veritable scrap heap and the wrecking crew was there to get the debris out as quickly as possible in order that the long bridge might be put in at least temporary repair so the traffic on that line might not be delayed for long, where the big fruit harvest of the entire North Fork district is on and hundreds of cars must go out loaded each day and empties come in as fast as needed.

The bridge is fully 150 feet long and one-third of the end this way went down with the wreck. Aside from the wrecked bridge considerable track was torn

up. The escape of the train crew from death or injury is regarded as marvelously fortunate. Passengers from Paonia and Hotchkiss have been transferred at the scene of the wreck.

* * *On Tuesday of next week the citizens of Delta

will be expected to vote upon the adoption or rejec-tion of the proposed city charter. This plan of city government was framed by a committee of twenty-one, and has been published for the last two weeks in the Independent. It is published again this week for the third and last time.

Read the city charter and if you believe it offers the relief sought, go to the polls Tuesday and vote for it. If you conclude to the contrary, you have the privilege of voting against its adoption.

* * *Hotchkiss is using some twelve to fifteen head

of cattle every week for home consumption. Paonia will be using at least twenty-five head during the fruit season and other places in proportion, so it will be seen that the fruit harvest makes a considerable drain on our livestock.

* * *The work of excavating for the foundation of the

Cedaredge State bank building was started Tuesday. The structure will be 25x65 feet and two stories high. The upper floor will be used for lodge purposes.

* * *It was reported yesterday morning that the

wrecked bridge. Two miles above Payne’s siding, was temporarily repaired so that trains can get through to all North Fork points.

* * *The sugar factory at Grand Junction at the close

of last week reported that it had already manufac-tured 5,000 sacks of sugar. This has mostly been made from Delta beets.

* * *A large number of Delta people are planning on

attending the county fair at Montrose today, going to that point in automobiles. At least twenty machines will make the trip and bear a boosting banner for this city and county.

* * *A hundred and forty-seven peach pickers came

in Tuesday from the Grand valley and other points of the state and were distributed around among orchardists of the county.

* * *The new Jeffers building in Delta, just south of

Geo. C. Wilson’s harness store is now about complet-ed and ready for the installation of the playhouse equipment.

* * *Sugar beets and potatoes are being shipped.

Elberta peaches are a rush, grain is being threshed, the third cutting of alfalfa is ready, the last of the melon and vegetable crops is being hauled and the 2,500 carloads of apples will soon be to take care of. The foregoing are just a few pointers on the busy conditions of Delta county.

* * *Peach prices have not been so bad and, as the

rush of shipments of peaches from the southern orchards as well as from the lower valleys of this slope is over. It looks favorable for the balance of the Elberta crop. Thirty-five to forty cents a box is certainly not a high price, still it is one at which the orchards reap a fair profit.

* * *The Delta county fair, which was closed at Delta

last Friday, was one of the most successful ever held in the county. The weather was ideal and did not change until Saturday, the day after the fair closed.

BY HANK LOHMEYERStaff Writer

Delta residents’ sum-mertime pride and joy is the citywide dis-

play of flora exuberance along Main Street, in the city parks and at the Bill Heddles Recre-ation Center.

The street corner flower pots overflowing with cas-cades of sweet potato vine; the rank and file of brilliantly blooming hibiscus and zinnia; the carefully groomed carpets of petunia; and the soaring extremes of richly foliated canna draw admiring com-pliments from residents and visitors for the masterfully groomed displays and exotic eye appeal.

And though Delta’s annual public displays of floral fan-tasy impress the eye and spirit, and justifiably so, they are not the products of secret horticultural magic worked on rare breeds of specialized plants from far away that a lot of people imagine they are – not at all.

In fact, Delta’s beloved flo-ral displays are the product first of a decision to make the financial investment. The basic effort of planting and tending the displays com-bines focused dedication with everyday techniques that are well known to garden-ers everywhere. And all the knowledge and devotion that the city’s staff of three floral gardeners bring to their work is applied to the same bulbs and bedding stock that any-one can find at their favorite local nursery here.

The city’s stunning flower displays are something that local gardeners can have in their own home gardens, too. In fact, the city’s parks and recreation department is care-ful to make sure its bid list for the next year’s bedding stock includes only plants that can be supplied by local area nurs-eries, and all of the materials

are bought locally.The list of flowering plants

being ordered for next year’s display is already in the hands of nurserymen preparing their bids. The list includes a lot of very familiar names that even a novice gardener will know.

In addition to bulb plants and perennials like canna, dahlia, and hibiscus, the city’s beds and pots will dis-play other flowering plants next year including alyssum, supertunia petunia, easy wave petunia, wave series petunia, shock wave series petunia, trailing petunia, grandiflora petunia, thumbergia, zinnia/double zahara series, zinnia/benarys giant series, impa-tiens, coleus, guara hybrid stratosphere, sweet potato

vine, and hibiscus. They come in dozens of different colors and styles.

From March each year when the stock arrives until Mother’s Day weekend when planting begins, the city’s parks and rec department shop garage is converted into a nursery warehouse holding thousands of the young plants until the weather warms.

The flowers that will appear in the city’s flower displays are planned each year by the gardeners who will plant and tend them. The gardeners are Cindy Valdez, a city employ-ee for 12 years who works on the Main Street displays and the Meeker Street parks; Veronica Pacheco, with the city since 2004, who tends

the city parks displays; and Lori Tembriza, a second year employee who works at Bill Heddles Rec Center and in addition to her other duties takes care of the floral dis-plays there.

Dedication and attention to detail are the true secrets to creating the city’s vivid flower gardens. Getting to know each variety, and even each individual plant comes naturally with time. Flowers are sensitive to every change of temperature, every light variation, and every humid-ity and water condition their environment brings. Learning

to respond to what the plant is experiencing is part of the joy in their art that gardeners experience.

There is a learning pro-cess involved, and the first try isn’t going to produce the same results as the maga-zine cover that inspired a first effort. Home gardeners have total creative freedom that many of them don’t take full advantage of when they get too wrapped up in fol-lowing complex instructions and advice. Trial and error is the best teacher and a little persistence leads to amazing success.

The striking, six-inch diameter fl ower displayed by this six-foot-high variety of Teddy Bear Sunfl ower fi nds itself right at home in the city’s pocket sunfl ower park on Meeker Street. The blossoms are a subject of local photographers whenever they appear, and they are among the huge variety of fl owering plants just like the ones in the City of Delta’s summer fl oral gardens that local gardeners can grow at home.

Sweet potato vines provide a pleasing cascade effect for the large display pots along Main Street.A nice display of color at the Bill Heddles Recreation Center court yard.

Delta’s Main Street fl ower beds come alive each sum-mer with zahara zinnias, hibiscus, canna, alyssum and other varieties, all available to local home gardeners from area nurseries.

The stunning blossoms of this hibiscus fi reball can last only one day. White varieties bloom earlier in the season. The crimson beauty above appeared in early September.
