County releases meeting agenda
Devon Nordby, 18, was sentenced to eight years in prison and five years of mandatory parole Thursday when he appeared in 11th Judicial District Court in Salida.
District Court Judge Charles Barton accept-ed a plea bargain to vehicular homicide while under the influence, a class three felony and agreed to drop all other charges.
In addition, Barton ordered restitution to other victims of the wreck, including the Ste-venson family, must be submitted within 90 days.
Nordby was charged with the Oct. 10 death of Brittanie Stevenson, 19 of Salida, one of four passengers in the vehicle he was driving.
Other passengers were Russell Leach, 22 and Kenneth Mitchel and Andrew Panter, both 18.
Nordby was driving at high speed along the power line road on Methodist Mountain when the Bronco went airborne 44 feet, rolled one and a half times ejecting and pinning Steven-son under the vehicle.
Nordby was on probation for drug parapher-nalia possession when he was arrested in con-
nection with the death.After sentencing, Nordby was transported to
Denver where he will await assignment to a detention location by the Colorado Department of Corrections, district attorney Thom LeDoux said.
Barton said he would endorse recommend-ing Nordby for a boot camp program that may mean a reduced sentence for successful comple-tion.
Nordby’s lawyer, Mike Gillick, said there aren’t any guarantees his client will partici-pate, there may not be space or perhaps admin-istrators won’t feel he’s qualified.
If he does participate, there aren’t any guar-antees he will get a reduced sentence, Gillick added. He said although Nordby didn’t mean to get anyone hurt or killed, it was accident.
Barton reiterated Nordby’s probation didn’t allow him to drink, but he did anyway. Barton said he felt sentencing was appropriate given the crime and situation.
Before proceedings began members the Nor-dby and Stevenson families filed into the court-room in tears.

ment and submittal of evi-dence followed by applicant response and final board questions and deliberation.
Written public comment should be sent before the March 18 meeting.
Don Reimer, county engi-neer and planning director, said county commission-ers may or may not make a decision, depending on their comfort level with presenta-tions.
Responsibility of county planning commission mem-bers to the county commis-sioners regarding the spe-cial land use permit is as an advisory board. Plan-ners earlier recommended approval of the special land use permit.
Commissioners have 60 days after completion of the Wednesday hearing to approve or deny the 1041 application. Approval of the special land use permit is dependant upon approval of the 1041 permit.
Reimer said planners ’ responsibility to the 1041 plan is as a referral agency. Their job will be to advise commissioners regarding any aspects of the plan.
Planners won’t advise c o u n t y c o m m i s s i o n e r s regarding direction of their vote on the 1041 applica-
tion. N e s t l é a n d p l a n n e r s
agreed earlier they expect
to request commissioners to continue application hear-ings for additional evidence.

the court before sentencing. “This is another sad day for all of us,” she
said, looking toward the Nordby and Stevenson families.
She said she wants the Nordby family to think positive things and that he will eventu-
ally come home – but her daughter won’t. Ulti-mately, she said, the situation is sad for every-one, because no one really wins.
Nordby told the court he’s accepted what he did and will see it through to the end.
Tearfully, he said, “I beg forgiveness. I’m very sorry.”

100 years agoThe Salida Record, March 12, 1909:
Wednesday afternoon from 3-5 p.m. the ladies of the Ascension guild gave a tea at the rectory. A severe storm was raging at the time appointed but in spite of the inclement condition of the elements a goodly number were present to enjoy the delicious tea pro-vided by the hostess, Mrs. Burck. In fact, such a hour was enjoyed at the tables, where pleasant conversation, intellectual and social, was spent over delicious salads and amber coffee, that guests fain would have lingered even longer to enjoy it.
75 years agoThe Salida Mail, March 9, 1934: William
Mitchell, a Denver young man of good family, was arrested in Utah several months ago on a charge of stealing an automobile in Buena Vista, and he was convicted in the district court in Salida.
The court was flooded with letters from friends of the young man and his family urg-ing the court not to send him to prison but to put him on probation. Among the letters was one from Chief of Police Clark, Denver, who said he was sure the boy had merely pulled a prank and that he undoubtedly would go straight if given a chance.
District Attorney Rush got word from the chief probation officer of the state that the young man is held in Denver on an automo-bile theft charge and that this is the twelfth car he is suspected of stealing since he was put on probation.
50 years agoThe Salida Record, March 11, 1959: A civic
project last fall by members of Beta Sigma Phi was completed with the lighting of the “S” on Mt. Tenderfoot Thursday evening.
Difficulty in obtaining weatherproof lights caused a two-month delay, according to Mrs. Albert Armstrong and Mrs. Jack Stout, who were in charge of arrangements. Seven lights were placed on Tenderfoot Mt. by the electri-cian Lew Osborne in such a manner that the lights shine over the entire letter “S”. With the use of a time clock, the lights will flash on shortly after dusk in the evening.
25 years agoThe Mountain Mail, March 9, 1984: The
Salida Hospital Laboratory has been granted accreditation by the College of American Pathologists.
Explaining the significance of that accom-plishment, Dr. Grant Miller, pathologist, said Salida Hospital was, for all practical purposes, the only rural hospital in the state of Colorado with CAP accreditation.
The CAP inspection, in Miller’s opinion, was superior because of the nature of the inspecting team. The JCAH inspectors send a technologist who only inspects while the CAP team send one or more working patholo-gists.

Legal Notices
PUBLIC NOTICEDISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADOTO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIESPursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are here-by notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amend-ments filed during the month of February 2009, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in The Mountain Mail in Chaffee County, Colorado.The name(s) and address(es) of applicant(s), description of water rights or conditional water rights and description of ruling sought as reflected by said application, or amend-ment, is as follows.------------------------------------------------------------CASE NO. 09CW20 - TRI LAZY W RANCH (“Applicant or Tri Lazy W”), c/o Jay R. Wilson, President, 11100 County Road 270, Nathrop, CO 81236 (Gilbert Y. Marchand, Jr., Gilbert Y. Marchand, Jr., P.C., Attorney for Applicant, 2737 Mapleton Avenue, Suite 202, Boulder, CO 80304; (303) 444-4256)Application for Approval of Place of Use of Pioneer Ditch Water RightsCHAFFEE COUNTYDecreed name of structure that is the subject of this application, and informa-tion from previous court decrees: Name of structure: Pioneer Ditch. Previous decrees for Pioneer Ditch water rights: An amount of 6.58 cfs was decreed as Priority 13 for irrigation purposes on June 19, 1890 by the District Court of Chaffee County, Colorado, with an appropriation date of May 17, 1866, from Browns Creek, a tributary of the Arkansas River, at a point of diversion decreed to be located on the North bank of said Creek at a point about one and a half miles southwest from the southwest corner of Section 34, Township 15 South, Range 78 West, Chaffee County, Colorado. The 01CW152 Decree describes the decreed point of diversion as being located in Section 8, Township 16 South, Range 78 West of the 6th P.M., Chaffee County, Colorado. The actual point of diversion of the Pioneer Ditch water rights described is depicted in the maps attached to the application herein as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3. All exhibits mentioned herein are incorporated by reference and may be inspected at the office of the Clerk of this Court. An amount of 1.31 cfs was decreed as Priority 26 for irrigation purposes on June 19, 1890 by the District Court of Chaffee County, Colorado, with an appropriation date of May 31, 1868, from Browns Creek at the same point of diversion as Pioneer Ditch Priority 13. An amount of 23.14 cfs was decreed to the Pioneer Ditch Second Enlargement for irrigation purposes on July 9, 1969, in Civil Action No. 5141 by the District Court of Chaffee County, Colorado, with an appropriation date of December 31, 1866, from Browns Creek at a point on the north bank of Browns Creek whence the south-east corner of Section 7, Township 51 North, Range 8 East of the New Mexico Principal Meridian bears South 11 degrees East 1152.5 feet. Historic use: The Pioneer Ditch water rights are currently owned by Pueblo West Metropolitan District (“Pueblo West”) and Applicant in the following proportions: Pueblo West owns two-thirds of Priority 13 and a pro-rata two-thirds interest in the Pioneer Ditch Second Enlargement; Applicant owns one-third of Priority 13, all of Priority 26, and a pro-rata one-third interest in the Pioneer Ditch Second Enlargement. Pueblo West’s Pioneer Ditch water rights were changed in Case No. 01CW152 pursuant to the “Corrected Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree” entered by this Court on January 4, 2008 (the “01CW152 Decree”). No further change in Pueblo West’s water rights is sought pursuant to this application. The 01CW152 Decree describes the historic use attributable to Pueblo West’s Pioneer Ditch water rights. The adjudi-cated historic place of use of those water rights is depicted in Exhibit C of that decree. Applicant’s Pioneer Ditch water rights have historically been used for irrigation purposes on the lands shown in the maps attached to the application herein as Exhibits 1 and 2. The location of those lands is described gen-erally as parts of the western half of Section 35, parts of the eastern half and southern half of Section 34, and part of the southeast cor-ner of Section 33, all in Township 15 South, Range 78 West, 6th P.M., Chaffee County, Colorado. Summaries of records of actual diversions of the Pioneer Ditch water rights are contained in the tables attached to the application herein as Exhibits 4 and 5. Relief requested by this application: Applicant seeks to use its Pioneer Ditch water rights on the following lands: a portion of the lands that are described in and subject to certain Restrictive Covenants (“Covenants”) record-ed on January 5, 1987 at Reception Number 242124, Book 485, Page 681, in the records of Chaffee County (such lands are referred to herein as “Tri Lazy W’s Hill Ranch Boundary Lands”); and lands that are not described in or subject to the Covenants. A portion of Tri Lazy W’s Hill Ranch Boundary Lands are also within the adjudicated historic place of use of Pueblo West’s water rights in Case No. 01CW152 (such lands are referred to herein as the “01CW152 Historically Irrigated Lands”). Tri Lazy W’s Hill Ranch Boundary Lands, including the 01CW152 Historically Irrigated Lands, were acquired by Applicant in 1996. Paragraph 10 of the 01CW152 Decree finds that Tri Lazy W must comply with all provisions contained in the aforemen-tioned Covenants. The Covenants provide that the owners of lands described therein shall assure that such lands are not irrigat-ed and that no other water use (with cer-tain exceptions described in the covenants) is made on such lands; except irrigation or other water use may be made on such lands under water rights other than the water rights changed in the 01CW152 Decree if the yield of such changed water rights is not impaired and if such use is approved by court decree. The lands sought to be irrigated by Applicant’s Pioneer Ditch water rights are depicted as the cross-hatched 175 acres in the map attached to the application herein as Exhibit 3. Tri Lazy W’s Hill Ranch Boundary Lands are depicted on Exhibit 3 as the cross-hatched acreage north and west of the pre-1996 Hill Ranch Boundary. The 01CW152 Historically Irrigated Lands com-prise 12 acres out of Tri Lazy W’s Hill Ranch Boundary Lands. Applicant seeks a decree that allows Applicant’s Pioneer Ditch water rights to irrigate the 175 cross-hatched acres in Exhibit 3 in such a manner that causes no impairment to the yield of Pueblo West’s Pioneer Ditch water rights. The lands sought to be irrigated by Applicant are within the lands decreed for irrigation by the Pioneer Ditch decrees described above. Applicant
seeks no change in the actual point of diver-sion or type of use of its Pioneer Ditch water rights. Irrigation of the lands defined herein as the “01CW152 Historically Irrigated Lands” by Pueblo West’s water rights ceased some time ago. There is no continued consump-tive use attributable to Pueblo West’s water rights on such lands. For that reason all dry up requirements regarding such lands for Pueblo West’s Case No. 01CW152 have been met. There is no reason for Tri Lazy W to interrupt its irrigation on such lands or on the other lands proposed for irrigation herein. Subject to the limits described here-in, irrigation of the proposed lands will not cause injury to any water rights.

Church for lots of people these days seems to be a loaded concept. Former insiders sometimes have per-sonal experience of being wounded by the not-so-loving actions of church people. Others have run into church beliefs or policies they don’t agree with and cannot abide.
Outside observers who have witnessed doctrinal fights and congregational splits legitimately wonder, “Why would anyone want to be involved with that?” Students of history who encounter the evils done in the name of religion ask, “Would my participation imply I’ve condoned the atrocities of the past?”
Then there are those for whom the church is suspect simply because it’s an institution. Forget not trusting anyone over the age of 30. How about not trusting any-thing that’s run by committee?
This is just the tip of the iceberg. After all, these are complaints that come from people who believe in God. These are barriers identified by those who find the words of Jesus compelling and worth paying attention to – worth following, even.
Small wonder so many consider themselves to be “spiritual” but not “religious.”
Like many people, I have felt the pain of disillusion-ment and walked away from the church as a result. But unlike the majority, my time of being “done” with reli-gion proved to be a temporary experience.
The journey that brought me back to church was a
convoluted one, filled with unplanned twists and turns. I was constantly surprised by grace as I was confronted, over and over, by moments when the church worked and church people loved just as they ought.
Slowly, alienation and cynicism gave way to hope and a sense of belonging. Years of accumulated hurt met the balm of healing. Eventually, I found a way to go home again.
I believe very strongly that mine is not an isolated case. God’s redemptive love is in process all the time, all around us. When we choose to look for it, it’s astonish-ing how quickly a substantive body of positive evidence accumulates.
God is still good. All the time. God’s goodness still resides in churches and church
people, even though we have our flaws. We’re human. We make mistakes. We cause damage without meaning to. We are also well aware of our problems and sins. So we do our best to fix, heal, forgive.
What I have experienced in my life and witnessed in others’ is the blessings that come from being part of a community of faith far outweigh the burdens. My prayer is you might someday discover this to be true for you too.

Walden Chamber Music Society will introduce violinist Lynda O’Connor during its 3 p.m. March 22, Lent concert at the Steam Plant Theater in Salida.
She replaces violinist Chi Yun Kim. Society officials said O’Connor is one of Ireland’s outstanding artists who has attracted widespread acclaim for her technical and musi-cal accomplishments. She has received numerous awards and prizes.
Lynda showed early prom-ise making her début at the National Concert Hall in Dub-lin when she was 4 years old. Since then she has been in demand as an orchestral art-ist and leader.
She has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Camerata Ireland, Lyric Opera, Dublin Sym-phony Orchestra, the Dub-lin Orchestral Players, Wex-ford Sinfonia and Greystones Orchestra.
She completed her masters degree in performance with first class honours at DIT Conservatory of Music where she was a Bank of Ireland Millennium scholar.
In January, Lynda began studying in Dallas with reknowned violinist Chee Yun. She made her national broadcasting debut in March on Boston radio with pianist Barry Douglas.
Lynda plays on a French Gand and Bernadel violin sponsored by Mercury Engi-neering. She has had it six years.
Tickets are available at Buena Vista and Salida cham-bers of commerce and at the door before the performance.
There will be a free infor-mance at 2 p.m. More infor-mation is available from Marie at 395-2097 or at www.waldenchambermusic.org.

Area residents are invited to join members of First Pres-byterian Church on a tour of Egypt and Jordan Nov. 4-17 and an informational meeting for details will be at 7 p.m. April 3.
The meeting will be at First Presbyterian Church, 7 Pon-cha Blvd. Trip reservations may be made then. Bev Orrill will take reservations and can be reached for information at 719-221-9777 or [email protected].
“This tour is open to every-one,” Orrill said. “If people have family members living in other areas who want to join, they are welcome. We’ll be happy to send a brochure.”
It is the fourth trip the church has scheduled with Pilgrim Tours, beginning in 2004 when they toured “In the Footsteps of Paul” in Greece and Turkey.
“Egypt was a major power when Jesus was alive,” Jan Bradbury said, “so it was a logical place to go because we went to Greece and Turkey in the past. We’ll get to see the pyramids and Sphinx, King Tut’s tomb and many other sites during the 14-day tour.”
A highlights for Rev. Mike Orrill be day 10 when the group visits Mount Sinai where Moses received the 10 commandments.
“We’ll be riding camels to the location where I’ll do a brief devotional,” Orrill said.
The trip begins with a char-tered bus ride from the church parking lot to Denver Interna-tional Airport.
The group will arrive in Cairo on day two and day three will visit pyramids and Tutankhamen’s treasures.
In addition to historical and religious sites, the group will visit bazaars and see modern life in Egypt, visit the Aswan high dam and have free time for individual interests.
Anyone who is interested in the tour but cannot attend the April 3 meeting, may call Bev Orrill for more information.

In an effort to bring more of their culture to Hispanic students, three area residents organized an all-day Cinco de Mayo event May 2 at the Chaffee County Fair Grounds.
Sherry Silva-Turner, The-resa Montano and Mark Arellano said the event will include a variety of perform-ers, music, food and shows. There will be a drawing for a weekend getaway, donated by Mount Princeton.
A Mariachi band will per-form, and Folklorico dancers will perform, Silva-Turner said. Additional perform-ers are slated to attend she added.
A chili cook-off and a car show will be held. Car show competitors will cruise from downtown along U.S. 50 to the fairgrounds, she said.
The cook-off and car show will have different catego-ries with awards. Food will be provided by Los Girasoles. Live music and dancing will be available from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. with Phil Silva providing
music.There will be a piñata for
children, she said because they want something for everyone.
Admission will be free but donations toward a scholar-ship will be accepted. Silva-Turner said least one schol-arship will be awarded to an outstanding graduating His-panic student.
If they raise enough money, organizers want to expand the scholarship fund to assist more than just Hispanic stu-dents, she said.
Organizers said they will
recognize donors at three levels – gold for donations of $1,000, silver for $500 and bronze for $250 donations and they will receive sponsor-ship plaques for contributions, Silva-Turner said.
Letters will be mailed this week to local businesses seek-ing sponsors.
Organizers said they are advertising in different loca-tions seeking a variety of attendance. In addition to local support, advertising is ongoing in Monte Vista, Pueb-lo and Trinidad, Silva-Turner said.
She believes the event will help the entire community because visitors from out of town will visit downtown, shop and eat and attend the event.
Cooks interested in par-ticipating in the chili cook-off may pick up entry forms from the Salida Chamber of Com-merce or at The Mountain Mail.
Entry forms for the car show are available at NAPA auto parts in Salida and Buena Vista, the chamber of com-merce and The Mail. Addition-al information is at 221-1116.

Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated locally with an all day event
Kathleen Nelson of Stage Left Theatre Co. makes her debut as a director in a funny show with a mature theme, “Last of the Red Hot Lovers,” by Neil Simon.
The show will open at 7:30 p.m. today at Salida Steam Plant Theater on West Sack-ett Avenue. Additional perfor-mances are at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
As usual, Greg West of Stage Left turns in a great performance as Barney Cash-man, the middle-age owner of a fish restaurant who decides he’s missing out on something and seeks his first affair in 20 some years of marriage.
Looking for a lady friend with whom to have this affair proves more frustrating than fun as Barney meets three totally off-the-wall females who ultimately lead him to decide fidelity isn’t such a bad thing after all.
Elaine Navazio, played by Janine Batinich, is more than a little on the lusty side and a little too eager for bashful Barney.
Bobbi Michele (Sadie LaVercombe), a paranoid par-amour, much younger than
Barney, proves more scary than sexy, and Jeanette Fish-er (Pat Holmlund), the wife of Barney’s friend, is just too depressed to enjoy anything,
Although it’s a comedy there is a moral to the story, presented in an entertaining way the audience won’t for-get.
The play is well done, on a single set, with excellent costuming and audiences are sure to enjoy Nelson’s first attempt on the other side of the stage, as director. She has been an actor with Stage Left
Theatre. Co five years.Tickets cost $10 for adults
and $8 for seniors and stu-dents and are available at Bongo Billy’s Salida Cafe, Heart of the Rockies Cham-ber of Commerce, Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce and at the door.

SHS tennis opens season
Spartan girls tennis play-ers lost six of seven match-es against St. Mary’s at the Salida Middle School courts Thursday.
Salida coach Dave Hor-ton stressed that the team is young and still developing skills at this point of the sea-son.
“Overall I was pleased with the effort and I expect to see more progress throughout the season,” Horton said.
At No. 2 singles Salida soph-omore Haley Thompson won 7-5, 7-6 against Niki Collan-drella in a match that went to a tiebreaker.
The singles match was Thompson’s first. As a return-ing sophomore she played doubles last season.
“At first I was nervous, but once we started it wasn’t that much different from playing in practice,” Thompson said.
Returning Spartan senior Leah Amettis lost 1-6, 3-6 against Chrissy Tichel in the No. 1 singles match.
“It’s still early in the sea-son. My serve is pretty good, but my return of serve is a major thing I need to work on,” Amettis said.
Salida junior Kim Evers lost 1-6 and 2-6 in the No. 3 singles match to St. Mary’s player Hillary Kuklenski.
In Spartan doubles action No. 1 April Aguilar and Madi-
son Manshiem lost 0-6, 0-6, No. 2 Allison Brown and Emily Lewis lost 1-6, 0-6, No. 3 Becky Rivera and Erica Baker lost 2-6, 2-6 and No. 4 Troye Boone and Kristina Fish lost 0-6, 0-6.
Spartan girls play next at the Salida Middle School courts Saturday starting at 11 a.m. against La Junta.
Buena Vista girls basket-ball team members lost 60-56 to Estes Park Thursday in first round play during the 3A state tournament at Moby Arena at Colorado State Uni-versity in Fort Collins.
Jeri Pikul scored 21 points, leading Buena Vista scoring while Kim Hansen led Estes Park with 24.
Buena Vista, now 23-2, will play 20-5 Jefferson Academy at 10:15 a.m. today. If they lose, their season is over – win and they will play at 11:15
a.m. Saturday for consolation championship.
Pikul and the Demons held a 31-24 lead at the half after closing it with a 12-5 run.
But a stingy full-court press by Estes Park and mounting foul trouble for Buena Vista helped erase the lead.
Estes Park went to 40-38 late in the third. Early in the fourth, Demons led 48-44 only to see the lead change to a 56-51 deficit with about a minute remaining.
Buena Vista hit a three-
pointer making it 58-56 with 23 seconds remaining, but a free throw by Estes Park and a costly turnover by Demons sealed the win.

U.S. Forest Service offi-cials are seeking public com-ment about a proposal to protect federally threatened greenback cutthroat trout and riparian habitat in the South Prong Hayden Creek watershed in Fremont Coun-ty.
The National Environment Policy Act analysis for the project is scheduled for com-pletion in July. It was earlier anticipated for completion during the summer last year.
Because of a delay in planning and refinement of the proposed action, Salida Ranger District personnel are offering the public addi-tional time to comment.
Comments will help the forest service officials iden-tify problems related to a proposal to convert .6 mile of the Rainbow Trail from two-track to single-track designa-tion.
Single track motorized vehicles would be allowed, as would equestrians, mountain bikers and pedestrians.
Copies of the proposals are available at the Salida Rang-er District office at 325 W. U.S. 50.
Written comments may be submitted to Salida Ranger District, Attn: Phillip Gaines, 325 W U.S. 50, Salida CO 81201.
Comments may also be sent via e-mail to [email protected], or com-ments may be made by tele-phone, 530-3957.

March 13-20Fishing condit ions for
local reservoirs are provid-ed by Dave Kelly, Hi Rocky, 111 Cottonwood Ave., Buena Vista, www.hirocky.com.
Twin Lakes and Turquoise Reservoir have been good fishing for lake trout using jigs and sucker meat.
Lake trout in Twin are starting to get jig shy, so smaller is better.
Turquoise has been good for cutthroats along the east shore near the boat ramp and for lake trout along the south shore.
Mount Elbert Forebay and the outlet of the power plant have reopened and are fish-able from shore. The forebay has been good for rainbows and some Snake River cut-throats.
Most anglers are using Montera Marvels tipped with meal worms or wax worms.
Berkley honey worms also work and stay on a hook lon-
ger. The power plant outlet is open and has been good for rainbows.
Fishing at Antero Reser-voir has picked up. The fish are hitting a lot better and more fish are being caught.
Small j igs tipped with meal worm and small tube jigs tipped with meal worms are working best.
Swedish Pimples tipped with wax worms are also working well.
C h a l k a n d W r i g h t ’ s lakes are both good fish-ing. Wright’s lake has just opened and fish are being caught along the remainder of the ice. Wright’s is flies and lures only, so anglers can’t bait hooks if they fish there.
Clear Creek Reservoir fishing has been good for rainbows. Small jigs tipped with meal worms, Power Maggots and night crawlers have been effective.
Berkley Hol low Bel ly Trout lures tipped with suck-er meat have been working on tiger muskies. Fish for them as if fishing for maki-naws only not as much on the bottom.
Hayden Meadows has good ice on it and fishing has been good for rainbows using small jigs tipped with Power Eggs. Crystal Lake has been good for nice fish along the west bank near the outlet.
Warm weather means ice fishing won’t last forever, so you better hurry to the high country this weekend and try your luck before ice is all gone.

U.S. stocks rose sharply Thursday and bonds closed higher as financial shares led when Bank of America report-ed it was profitable during the first two months and expects a profit during 2009.
Adding to gains was news the General Electric credit rating was reduced less than expected. Health care shares added to advance on strong trial results for a Pfizer drug and Genentech agreed to acquisition by Roche. All other major sectors increased.
Volume on the New York Stock Exchange was moder-ate, with 1.8 billion shares traded. Advancing issues out-numbered decliners by a 9-to-1 margin.
The 30-year Treasury rose .75 percent, lowering yield to 3.62 percent. The 10-year Treasury rose .44 percent, lowering yield to 2.85 percent. The 3-month T-Bill closed at .19 percent and the 6-month T-Bill closed at .45 percent.
Gold rose $13.30 to $924.70 and silver rose 14 cents to $12.94. Crude oil rose $4.70 to $47.03 a barrel..
Roche Holding AG, the largest maker of cancer drugs, announced it increased its purchase offer for Genentech Inc. Under the new offer, Genentech holders would receive $95 per share in the offer which expires March 25. Genentech closed up $1.75 to $93.92 and Roche closed up 58 cents to $31.23.
Pfizer Inc. reported its pan-creatic cancer drug, Sutent, showed significant benefit in patients, and is stopping human trials early. An inde-pendent board of doctors said it would be unethical to con-
tinue giving patients a placebo rather than medicine because of the compelling results. Pfiz-er closed up $1.23 to $14.02.
Standard & Poor’s reduced its credit rating on General Electric to AA+ from AAA.
S t a n d a r d & P o o r ’ s explained the main compo-nent of the downgrade was the stand-alone credit profile of the firm finance arm, Gen-eral Electric Capital Corpora-tion, but indicated GE indus-
trial cash generation capabil-ity remains fundamentally strong.
It expects GE to generate growing balances during the next two years. General Elec-tric closed up $1.08 to $9.57.
At close, foreign markets were mostly higher Thursday.
Canada’s S&P/TSX compos-ite was up 271.25 to close at 8,282.27.
Mexico’s Bolsa index was up 1,074.18 to close at 18,864.87.

Chaffee County Sheriff’s deputies will conduct St. Pat-rick’s Day saturation patrols beginning today as part of a statewide crackdown on driv-ing under the influence of alcohol.
Neighboring participat-ing law enforcement agen-cies include Leadville Police Department, Saguache Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office, Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado State Patrol.
The crackdown on impaired drivers will end at 3 a.m., Wednesday.
During last year’s St. Pat-rick’s DUI enforcement peri-od, 520 people were arrested.
“Don’t let the green beer
and festive atmosphere fool you into thinking you’ll get away with a crime like drunk driving,” Col. James Wolfin-barger, chief of the Colorado State Patrol, said.
“Plan ahead before you party or you can plan on get-ting a DUI. Law enforce-ment agencies will saturate the state looking for impaired drivers.”
March has become a dead-ly month in Colorado for impaired driving.
In 2007, March was the sec-ond deadliest month, behind June, for alcohol-related fatal-ities, with 28 people killed in drunk driving crashes. Alco-hol-related fatal crash data
for 2008 isn’t yet available.“Combination of the St.
Patrick’s Day holiday, warm-er weather and spring break has made us particularly concerned about March as a high alcohol-related fatality month,” Mike Nugent, man-ager of the Colorado Depart-ment of Transportation office of transportation safety, said.
Authorities report people convicted of DUI face conse-quences including jail time, loss of their driver’s license, an ignition interlock on their vehicle, alcohol-treatment classes, higher insurance rates and of other unantici-pated expenses that can total more than $10,270.

After a lengthy process we’re close to seeing U.S. 50 improvements become a real-ity because engineering is underway and construction is slated to begin in mid-July.
An informational meeting about the project will be held at 6 p.m. March 19 at Salida Steam Plant, 220 W. Sack-ett Ave. Plan to attend if you want more information about the project.
To see an example of what the project will look like, visit the new shopping center across from F Street where the developer installed side-walk, parkway and lighting that demonstrates the design intended for the length of U.S. 50 in Salida.
The city comprehensive plan created in 2000 indicat-ed need for improvements to the highway corridor. The city received grant money to hire a designer who created a draft plan for streetscape improve-ments.
That plan was rejected by business and property owners along the corridor and by city council.
Subsequently, a citizen group consisting of business and property owners and two members of city council was formed to try and create an acceptable plan. They became the Highway 50/291 Corridor Group.
The corridor group conduct-ed two surveys to gauge the types of improvements that impacted business and proper-ty owners along the corridors would like to see installed.
Surveys had high partici-pant response. Survey infor-mation was used by the group which, with the help of a vol-unteer landscape architect and volunteer graphic artist, put together a plan to present to city council.
In October 2005 city council members, through resolution, adopted a conceptual plan for the U.S. 50 corridor. The proposed streetscape improve-ments include sidewalks, stamped colored concrete parkways and street lights.
After several attempts, the city received more than $781,000 through the Colo-rado Department of Trans-portation for a project total of $977,000. Scope of the project extends along both sides of the highway from its intersec-tion with CR 107 to the inter-section with Holman Avenue.
Before any ground breaking the entire project area must be surveyed and engineered, meaning every access point along the highway will be scrutinized.
The highway corridor group has promised from the begin-ning of the process that no harm should come to any business as a result of this project.
As part of installation of streetscape improvements, curb cuts may stay as they
are, be adjusted in size, have location adjusted or possibly be eliminated.
The city engineering firm, Schmuser, Gordon, Meyer, is close to completing prelimi-nary design following which plans will be reviewed by CDOT.
As design is developed, affected property owners will be contacted personally to keep them informed of any proposed changes as design is finalized.
Every property owner will receive from CDOT an access application describing any changes.
The federal stimulus plan has channeled money to CDOT which can be used on projects ready to go, such as Salida highway improve-ments.
Salida recently received $466,666 in stimulus money. The stimulus dollars spent on our project will reduce city obligation for grant match-ing money from $195,000 to $83,000.
People with quest ions about this project should plan to attend the informational meeting March 19 or contact Greg Amidon or Dara Mac-Donald.
The Highway Corridor Improvement Plan can be viewed at http://www.cityof-salida.com/pdfs/Hwy50291Cor-ridorPlanFINAL.pdf.

Nestlé will make millions in countyDear Editor:
There are many concerns about the Nestlé proposal to truck spring water from Chaffee County to Denver, so I attended seven hours of presentations by Nestlé representatives and the Chaffee County Planning Commission, then visited the proposed well sites and load-ing station at Johnson Village.
The county, represented by Don Reimer, presented an excellent review of the plan and its impacts on Chaffee County. Nestlé did a thorough job of researching the water supply issues, environmental concerns, employment, and traffic congestion.
No one should have any concerns about the water extraction or physical facilities proposed by Nestlé per se.
The price of Nestlé bottled spring water is very close to the price of gasoline, but that’s where the similarity stops.
If a multinational oil company instead of a multinational water company wanted to truck 125 gallons of crude oil per minute from Chaffee County instead of 125 gpm of water, they would pay a royalty to the owner of the mineral rights.
Chaffee County’s royalty would be almost $9 million every year. Producing a gallon of gaso-line costs much more than producing a gallon of bottled spring water, but oil companies can afford to pay the mineral owner the royalty.
The water in Chaffee County belongs to the State of Colorado, so Nestlé will pay the coun-ty about $80,000 per year in property tax. The company will augment removed water using water rights from the City of Aurora for $200,000 per year. Good deal for Aurora, incredible deal for Nestlé.
Bad deal for Chaffee County.Nestlé wholesales bottled water from the
Denver area under the Pure Life label. Water from Chaffee County will carry the Arrowhead label, and will be marketed as more desirable than Denver water, which requires more puri-fication before bottling.
Both products are good, clean water, the only difference being in taste, because of differences in mineral content. If purity is your issue, buy distilled water, add a daily mineral supple-ment, and you’re miles ahead.
Drink it quickly though, before the petro-chemicals leach out of the plastic bottle. The real cost of the water from Chaffee County will be thousands of gallons of diesel fuel burned to haul Chaffee water 165 miles for bottled water that is virtually the same as Denver bottled water.
Much greater costs are the oil dollars that Nestlé will ship to Persian Gulf nations for their share of the diesel fuel, and the vastly greater cost of supporting our military pres-ence there to guarantee that fuel supply.
Gross sales of the bottled Chaffee water will be about $118 million per year. Assuming a retail markup of 50 percent, Nestlé should gross $59 million per year. Chaffee County taxes will be about one-eighth of 1 percent of that. Our county government is not responsi-ble for the health of the planet or the national economy, but it is amazing that Nestlé will make hundreds of millions taking water from a county that has falling ceilings in its school-rooms.
Ed Berg,Salida
Dear Editor:I have been living in Chaffee County eight
years. I have been proud of the direction in which things have been going until now.
We have solar panels going up on our roofs, we ride bicycles as much as possible, we drive hybrids and diesels and we recycle.
But now a multinational corporation with a reputation of social and moral misconduct has come here to exploit our resources for an industry that is unsustainable. Instead of saying “No, thanks” we line up and ask, “What’s in it for me?” We pretend to want
to reduce our carbon footprint, but look the other way at the wasteful profit of this indus-try.
People throughout the world, are fighting to rid their communities of this corporation and we invite them in hoping to collect the few coins that fall from their pockets. If this goes through I don’t think Salida or Chaffee County can ever call itself a progressive com-munity.
Steven Duhaime,Salida
Corporation threatens community
Dear Editor:I would like to thank Amanda Wright, Ali-
son Ramsey, Danielle Ashlock, Tracey Hill and Laura Pintane for all their help March 6. We have been having some beautiful sunny days and everyone has been enjoying walks along the trail in Salida.
Unfortunately, we have been disgusted by the mess we see along the trail and in the stream. So we decided to do some clean up.
We took gloves, bags, muscles, and our chil-dren and got to work. I could not believe what we have found – plastic bags, paper, Safeway ads, cans, you name it. We collected about 10 big plastic bags full.
I know we live in a windy town and lots of trash just flies all over, but much of what we found could be avoided if people just cared a bit more.
On top of all the trash there was so much
dog poop. As a pet owner, I carry plastic bags wherever I go.
Once in a while, I forget, but as you know you can get free dog poopie bags on the trail. Is it really that hard to pick up after your dog?
Salida is a beautiful town where people care about each other and what their surroundings look like, but obviously this does not include everyone.
I would like to ask everyone a favor: Next time you go for a walk, take a plastic bag and if you see trash, pick it up and try to help make Salida more beautiful.
Finally, I would like to thank the biggest helpers of all – our children: Quinn, Radana Jo, Kai, Evan, Kaia, Gwen, Mac, J.J., Elena, Annie, Ember and Calhoun.

Commentary
Letters to the editorAsk officials to say ‘yes’ to NestléDear Editor:
Yes to Nestlé.So your readers know up front, we have a
piece of land Nestlé would buy from us if their project is approved.
Having said that, as a business owner and 20 year-resident of Buena Vista, I would still be writing this even if we weren’t directly involved.
In case you haven’t heard, the economy ter-rible and Chaffee County has been losing jobs right and left.
Jobs from the Nestlé project, even if tempo-rary, will equal millions of dollars in wages that will “turn over” many times in Chaffee County – perhaps as much as $8-10 million this year.
The permanent tax revenue of approximately $80,000 a year will certainly give the county a much needed boost.
Nestlé doesn’t want to clear cut our forests, strip mine our land or pump hazardous chemi-cals through a pipeline. The water they want to buy is less than 10 percent of what these two springs produce and this small amount will be augmented.
This seems like a clean and environmentally friendly project. When other companies see how fairly we treat Nestlé, I’m sure other busi-nesses will also come to Chaffee County.
A couple of the reasons people are against the Nestlé project is, they say, “bottled water
is bad, we should drink tap water” and “plastic is bad for the earth.”
First, why do so many people think of bottled water as an alternative to tap water rather than an addition to tap water? I drink bottled water if I’m on the road and get thirsty, rather than soda,
I drink bottled water if I’m at my folks house because I don’t like the taste of their tap water. I drink bottled water if I stop at a fast food res-taurant.
As a matter of fact, when I see communities devastated by drought, hurricanes, tornados, war or other disaster, I always see truck loads of bottled water nourishing the thirsty.
When I’m at my home in Chaffee County I drink my well water because I like the taste. Shouldn’t it be my choice, or your choice, if we want to drink tap or bottled water?
As far as plastic bottles, are these protesters and protectors of the environment saying no to all plastic? No Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up or any soda?
How about milk, orange juice, apple juice, laundry and soap in plastic containers?
This nation and Chaffee County have many big problems to work on and the type of con-tainers we use isn’t one of them.
I encourage you to contact your county offi-cials and ask them to support this project.
Steve Hansen, Buena Vista
Punched Backbone to Sand DunesDear Editor:
March 7 Salida’s trail-loving community showed up in force.
It was impressive and gratifying to see so many friends and neighbors showing up with boots and gloves on to help with the effort.
At the beginning of the day we had a short sec-tion of trail built on the section of Backbone Trail that would meet with the Sand Dunes Trail.
By around lunchtime, volunteers were finish-ing the links to Sand Dunes and to the section of Backbone that was built by volunteers earlier this winter. It was my wildest dream for the day.
The whole thing got done – we have punched the Backbone through to Sand Dunes.
The Backbone Trail will someday stretch from Ute Trail near Piñon Hills to Sweetwater Gulch, far east of the Calco Plant. I used to think of that “someday” as 2011, maybe 2010 with some hard work and a bit of luck. Now I think of “someday” as later this year.
This updated forecast for success comes from the support we are seeing from our volunteers
and the incredible support coming from the City of Salida, Absolute Bikes, and the Bureau of Land Management.
The Backbone is only one part of the vision that may be completed this year. More infor-mation about projects that could be undertak-en will be out soon.
Check this page for a description of the vision at http://salidamountaintrails.org/SMT-plan.html.
Thank you to those who came out. Your pres-ence, whenever you can afford the time, makes the efforts of the past few years feel worth-while. Thank you. Thank you.
Also, I found a battery pack when I was leav-ing the work site Saturday afternoon. It looks like it would go into a camera or video camera. If you think it’s yours, please let me know so I can get it back to you.

Cause for optimismLatest figures from the Colorado Department of
Labor show the number of people filing claims for unemployment in Chaffee County rose from 5.5 percent in December to 7.4 percent in January, a month later.
The sharp increase in new unemployment filings in the county from December to January is consis-tent with what happened in nearby counties and throughout Colorado. Statewide, unemployment increased from 5.8 percent to 6.6 percent.
Statewide official figures don’t come as much of a surprise. January was a difficult month for many businesses – something unemployment statistics bear out.
But could economic conditions in the county and valley be turning up?
Looking at one indicator, help wanted ads, busi-ness, economic activity and the jobs market appear to be improving.
This week The Mail’s help wanted section ran to about two dozen ads. Open jobs included a number of professional and semi-professional positions for nurses, police officers and administrative assis-tants, to a number of service jobs for cooks, wait staff and cashiers.
This represents a big improvement over The Mail’s help wanted section in early January when the number of listings could be counted on fingers of one hand.
The Mail’s help wanteds in early January were an informal, unscientific measure of the economy, but were nonetheless a reflection of market condi-tions as unemployment filing statistics confirmed.
Jobs opening are typically one of the first if not the first indication economic conditions are improv-ing. Time will tell if this was only a blip, but for now we’ll take it as a sign for optimism.
Construction holds Another key indicator of economic activity is con-
struction. While new home starts have slowed, a number of larger projects are getting started or are moving along.
For example, dirt work is under way at Friend Ranch on the second nine of the golf course in addi-tion to installation of utility lines.
Work is continuing at the Hampton Inn on U.S. 50 and at River Front condos on First Street in Salida. Demolition and remodeling have started at the city and county complex in the old hospital building and construction on new medical offices at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center is just beginning.
The valley economy is struggling and is certainly off from what it was a year ago.
However, construction work in progress locally is a positive sign. The economy may not be exactly humming along as it has in the past year or two, but projects in progress represent jobs and a mea-sure of activity and that’s a big plus.
A loss for the valleyThe death of Jean Dilatush is a loss for the val-
ley. Besides working for years beyond when most retire, Mrs. Dilatush applied her many talents and energy to several organizations during the past three decades including Starpoint, Salida Steam Plant, Hospital Auxiliary and Salida-Aspen Con-certs. She was named the chamber of commerce 2002 Woman of the Year.
She was dedicated to her church serving faith-fully in a number of capacities, including cashiering at the recent Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner.
Her smile and positive attitude brought a ray of sunshine to all those she happened to meet, for Mrs. Dilatush knew no strangers.
Our condolences to her family.– MJB
Editorial
An updated Chaffee Coun-ty weed management plan was approved Tuesday dur-ing the county commissioners’ meeting.
Larry Walker, county weed manager, said the updated plan ensures the county is within compliance for federal, state and local agencies.
Walker said the county weed department has a inter-governmental agreement with and is paid by Lake County to also rewrite its management plan.
County weed manage-ment includes working with gravel pit owners and devel-oping guidelines. Annual weed inspections at gravel pits might help slow spread of some invasive species, Walker told commissioners.
Elongated mustard was found last year beside the highway near the Fremont and Chaffee county line. Walker said both counties are tracking the weed. He suspects the plant may have been brought in on a power company truck.
Walker recommends not running vehicles into big patches of weeds.
“If you do, clean the vehicle as best you can on site and then wash the vehicle later,” Walker said.
Another finding last year was introduction of a single meadow knapweed in a gar-den in Piñon Hills subdivi-sion. The plant likely was introduced through a wild-flower seed mix.
Meadow knapweed is simi-lar to Russian knapweed, a plant producing its own her-bicide thus killing native plants.
Walker said, what’s often described as an ornamental flower can be a noxious weed in disguise.
Legally, greenhouses and nurseries are not supposed to sell plants listed upon the noxious weed list.
“Most nurseries are com-pliant,” Walker said. “Usually
when we have a problem, it’s an out-of-state seed company with a seed mix with some-thing in it.”
Colorado guidelines for weed management place weeds in three categories.
• Rare species subject to eradication wherever detect-ed.
• Plant species the county deals with by containment or eradication.
• Species which are wide-spread plants for which con-trol is recommended but not required by the state.
“We are in one of the lucki-est areas of the state as far as not having a lot of those spe-cies,” Walker said.
The Chaffee and Lake county undesirable plant list includes leafy spurge, Russian knapweed, diffuse knapweed, spotted knapweed, Canada thistle, dalmation toadflax, yellow toadflax, musk thistle, houndstongue, hoary cress, oxeye daisy and scentless chamomile.
Another found in Chaffee County include cheat grass. With other invasives, those plants get established beside roads and rangelands, reduc-ing production, grazing and wildlife grazing, Walker said.
Most of them are deep root-ed and aggressive and steal
moisture from native species with shallower roots. Some native forbes have deeper roots but grasses are needed to hold the soil.
County weed control prac-tices include herbicides, hand pulling and biocontrol, although biocontrol measures are often difficult to establish.
B i o c o n t r o l m e a s u r e s include grazing, which usual-ly takes a few years to accom-plish, and insects – a process that includes finding the right insect to adapt to an area.
One example is tamarisk beetles. They were studied downstream from Pueblo Reservoir, Walker said. The insects successfully destroyed a few tamarisk plants before leaving.
There are two types of tamarisk beetle – one in the north and one in the south. The Arkansas River seems to be caught in the middle, Walker said.
Until a tamarisk beetle is discovered that will adapt to the region, it is unlikely they will be used on tamarisk.
There are small areas in Chaffee County that have tamarisk including 24/285 junction, Centerville and Pon-cha Springs. Tamarisk raises salt content of soil around it, thus killing native species.
