Hemp growers asked to notify DCMCD BY EMY LYNN ROQUE CISNEROS Staff Writer

Delta County Mosquito Control District 1 is asking growers, processors and storers of industrial hemp to notify them. According to district manager Terry Stalcup, the pesticide used in fogging, one of the methods used to control mosquito populations, has not yet been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use with commercial hemp. The Colorado Department of Agriculture website has a list of 338 pesticides approved for use in cannabis production. “We can go next to everything else like avocados, peaches and lettuce but use near hemp has not been approved yet,” he said. “If you’re growing commercial hemp, storing it, or have a processing facility you need to let us know.” The main issue identified by one grower is that the permethrin appears in CBD oil. While not harmful to humans

it could impact labeling. One challenge Stalcup identified that Mosquito Control will need to manage is that those living next to areas marked for hemp will also not receive fogging treatment. The effective range for killing the mosquitoes with fogging is 300 feet, but Mosquito Control is currently unsure how far the chemicals can drift and affect the hemp plants. To be safe, they’ll fog a significant distance from hemp until the information is clarified. A list of industrial hemp registrants by county is available on the state website, but many addresses listed are for post office boxes. Stalcup said the board is planning a mass mailing. Growers are being asked to contact Mosquito Control and then submit the map they already sent to the state outlining their growing or processing area. To notify Mosquito Control, please call 970-874-4384.

Those growing, processing or storing hemp who do not wish to be fogged are being asked to notify Mosquito Control.

DMEA thinks court should delay Tri-State vote BY KATHARHYNN HEIDELBERG Montrose Press

Delta-Montrose Electric Association wants a court order blocking Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association from an action the local cooperative contends will deliberately stymie efforts to buy out its contract. The association in turn said DMEA’s filing is an “inappro-

priate attempt” to prevent it from considering policy decisions to benefit all its members. DMEA on Tuesday filed in Adams County District Court for a temporary restraining order and an accompanying complaint alleging breach of contract, lack of good faith and lack of fair dealing. It wants an emergency

order to forestall an upcoming vote of the Tri-State board to add a new type of member owner — one that is not a rural electric co-op like DMEA and more than 40 other members in three states that purchase power from Tri-State. That type of new member — as yet unnamed by TriState — would place Tri-State under the rate authority of

Delta Fire Department uses new tricks at fireworks show BY EMY LYNN ROQUE CISNEROS Staff Writer

For decades, Delta Volunteer Fire Department (DVFD) has planned an annual July 4 fireworks show. Before being held at Confluence Park, many may recall seeing the display at Cleland Park. Those watching this past July 4 may have noticed that firemen pulled out a few extra tricks. For example, volunteer firefighters Bobby Esplin and Ken Decker shot fireworks off from the island for the first time. Some of the fireworks were designed to interact with the water. The electronic system used for firing a majority of the shells, including the grand finale, was recently upgraded from the 20-year-old system. “Our new setup allows us to do better and cooler things,” said fire chief Bryce Atchley. District manager Shannon Crespin said the DVFD aims to keep the show at about 30 minutes. This year, more than 350 shells were fired, not including the 10 cake boxes. Fireman Robert Winkler designs the sequences each year, placing emphasis on the openers and finale. The fireworks show is

Volunteers spent five days last month gathering contributions from ACE Hardware, Maverik, Walmart and City Market. The night of the show, volunteers gathered donations at the gate. Putting on a show like this

each year takes hours of setup and cleanup. Volunteers start early the morning of the show, setting up the barricades for gates and the electrical fireworks. In the evening they finish digging trenches for steel tubes that hold manual fires. After the show, cleanup takes another couple of hours. NEW TRICKS TO A3

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Tri-State is the power wholesaler for DMEA, the latter of which wants to end its contract before a 2040 expiration date. After more than two years of negotiation resulted in a figure DMEA found “grossly” unreasonable, it asked the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to hear its petition for a “fair and nondiscriminatory” exit fee. The PUC previously handed DMEA a win, by ruling it has jurisdiction over the matter as a rate issue, although Tri-State had argued it was a contract dispute and contended the PUC did not have jurisdiction. Tri-State’s recent efforts to become FERC-regulated amount to little more than “forum shopping,” DMEA said and on Tuesday, the co-op also said the move would strip oversight from the PUC. It’s Tri-State’s third attempt to sidestep the law, DMEA’s chief executive officer, Jasen Bronec, said, in a statement calling the move “a rushed, un-vetted and secretive proposal to add a new member.” Tri-State said its board of directors’ job it is to make decisions on behalf of 43 members, such as whether to pursue FERC rate-regulation. The board “recognizes the challenges that come with being rate-regulated in several states with differing priorities and results,” spokesman Lee Boughey said. “FERC rate regulation would provide a single point of regulation for Tri-State and its members, as the association moves toward meeting the goals of becoming increasingly flexible and increasingly clean. “It provides a pragmatic response to inconsistent rate

regulation among the states in which Tri-State has operated for decades, saving the association’s members money and reduces timelines for decisions.” DMEA hopes for an emergency injunction to prevent Tri-State’s board vote, which could take place next week. The order, if granted, would also declare that under board policy, DMEA has the right to final resolution and Tri-State must therefore allow the PUC proceeding to run its course until that state body delivers a final ruling. If the Tri-State board is allowed to proceed with the FERC vote before that time, DMEA “will suffer immediate and irreparable harm,” the coop’s complaint and motion for injunction both argue: It will be deprived of its contractual right to withdraw from TriState’s “voluntary” membership and have to begin anew the expensive process of seeking an exit fee. “Tri-State’s repeated and ill-conceived efforts to strip the (PUC) of its jurisdiction over the exit charge dispute ... constitutes a violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied to every Colorado contract, including the bylaw contract at issue here,” DMEA’s complaint says. Tri-State has said previously that DMEA does not have an automatic right to have an exit fee set. It also said it has considered FERC regulation well before the PUC complaint was filed. Further, it said in June, FERC regulation won’t reduce the oversight under which Tri-State falls; instead, for the first time, the association would be fully rate-regulated, as would its wholesale contracts. COURT BATTLE TO A3

CHC withdraws lawsuit

Rep. Soper & AG Weiser town hall

A lawsuit filed by Citizens for a Healthy Community against Delta County was voluntarily withdrawn on June 28 after District Court Judge Steven Patrick denied on June 19 a temporary restraining order. Judge Patrick stated that the order “did not meet the burden of real immediate injury or irreparable harm as more fully discussed on the record,” according to a Delta County press release. CHC filed the suit claiming the county had failed to properly follow its land use process in approving a seismic exploration project for Gunnison Energy. The organization had requested the temporary restraining order to prevent the county from allowing the seismic project to proceed.

State Representative Matt Soper and Attorney General Phil Weiser will hold a joint town hall style meeting in the Delta County Commissioner Chambers, Room 236, at the County Courthouse, on Tuesday, July 16, at 2:30 p.m. Rep. Soper said, “The meeting is geared towards talking about new developments in law and we strongly encourage local attorneys and the legal community to attend, along with members of the public.” This is Attorney General Phil Weiser’s first official visit to Delta. During the legislative session, Rep. Soper worked with the attorney general on several key pieces of legislation, including bail reform and consumer protection. Rep. Soper serves on the House Judiciary Committee, the Committee on Legal Services, the Health and Insurance Committee, and the Colorado Tourism Board. He also serves during the interim on the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice and the All Payer Claims Database Council.

OPINION

LETTERS Thanks, City of Delta, for toddler activities Dear Editor: I would like to take a moment to send out a heartfelt thank you to the City of Delta Recreation Department specifically, Tyler Schumacher (coach) and Whitnee Fraser-Lear for their efforts in creating programming for our kids that are 5 and under. We recently completed our second session of LAPS (learn and play sports), a program introducing team sports to toddler-aged children. This program has been incredibly beneficial to my son. He not only is

being introduced to fun activities, but he is learning how to work within a team environment and to be “coached” by others which is a life skill that will benefit him ongoing. Our family has also been attending Tot Time at the rec center gym. This entails a lot of free play with other kids in the same age group. My son looks forward to this with great enthusiasm and is a nice break in the monotony for all of us. The benefits aren’t just for the kids either; through these two programs I

have become acquainted with many great parents that we will be seeing on a regular basis as school age rapidly approaches. My family hopes that we can continue this type of much needed programming and that activities like this are able to grow and flourish within our very family-oriented community. To Coach Tyler, again, thank you for taking the time to put this together and spend every Monday and Wednesday evening with our family. Carrie Boyd Delta

Keep the wolves at bay Dear Editor: We have had three different groups in my almost 84 years that have used their powers to get something or someone out of business in the North Fork Valley. The fourth is on the horizon. The third are the people that don’t want drilling here because of polluting the air and water. I can never remember see-

ing or smelling fouled air in my life. They don’t like drilling even though it has brought millions into Delta County and several organizations. We have some above average county commissioners here in the valley but the radicals didn’t get their way so sue the commissioners. The second group were the anti-mines people who wanted all the

Stop the National Popular Vote law! Dear Editor: You have just a few more days to sign the petition to bring the National Popular Vote law to Colorado’s voters. In 2016, as in all the previous years of Colorado’s existence, electors voted for the presidential candidate who won the most votes in Colorado. In 2019, Colorado’s Democrat legislature passed, and the governor signed, a bill that would instead give Colorado’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who got the most votes nationwide. (This new procedure would only occur if sufficient states agreed to adopt this method.)

This means that Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami and a few other cities would control the election of our presidents because they have the most votes. States’ rights and states’ power would be diminished. There is a petition circulating to bring this change of law to a vote of the people. If you would like to preserve the electoral college as it has been for over 200 years, please take the time to sign this petition. To sign a petition, please visit Coloradans vote.org or contact me as soon as possible. Angie Many Eckert

mines closed in the valley. They almost got their way. They got all of Delta County’s mines shut down but Gunnison County is still taking in money from the coal mines in their county. The first were the tree huggers who shut down a booming logging industry that was thinning the forests and taking out dying and dead trees. Thinning helps prevent large forest fires but that group didn’t care. The fourth group that is collecting signatures on the Eastern Slope to bring 1,000 wolves into our state. The trouble is, the wolves will all be coming to the Western Slope. Wolves run in packs and if they see a dog, he is an enemy and he is dead. They kill big game, sheep, cows and horses just for the fun of it. They are dangerous to hikers and bikers and anything else in their paths. They got so thick in Idaho and Wyoming they are hiring hunters to cut the numbers. If the Eastern Slope gets enough signatures, we won’t need to be counted and will have no say to the matter. John A.

Celebrating Randy and Pat Sunderland By Dennis Anderson The purchase of the Delta County Independent by Wick Communications may have an official date of April 30, but graciously, former owners Randy and Pat Sunderland have stayed on after the sale to allow for a smooth transition. Drawing from their own experience when the Sunderland family purchased the DCI in 1987, the importance of an amicable change of hands wasn’t lost on them. I’m very grateful. This will mark the last edition that Randy and Pat will be hands-on. Now they can begin to enjoy their retirement. What Randy, Pat and the rest of the Sunderland family have accomplished over the past 30-plus years should be admired, not only by the community but the newspaper industry. While small community newspapers across the country are struggling to produce their products, or worse yet, closing their doors, the Sunderlands week in and week out produced a quality publication.

INDEPENDENT

DELTA COUNTY INDEPENDENT (UPS 152-700) is published weekly on Wednesdays at 401 Meeker St., Delta, CO 81416. Periodicals postage paid at DELTA, CO. POSTMASTER: Send address changes to: DELTA COUNTY INDEPENDENT, PO BOX 809, DELTA, CO 81416 401 Meeker St. Delta, CO 81416 (970) 874-4421

Like many owneroperated businesses, much of the day to day duties are shouldered by the owners. Randy handled the publishing duties, Pat the editorial duties, Randy’s sister Roxanne the advertising duties, and brother Ron the production duties. They all handled almost every duty in between. Talk about loyalty. The Sunderlands are a humble lot. Any praise they receive gets deflected by them and immediately credited to their employees. Working with them these past couple of months it’s not hard to understand why they have so many longtime and loyal employees. Some have been with them since the 1987 purchase. The Sunderlands and their team served their community, proudly covering every level of local government, crime, sports, and events. Their editorial strategy covering each Delta County community, no matter how small, would stretch any editorial budget past the breaking point. But they did it and they’ve done it well. As we move into a new era at the DCI, we won’t reinvent the wheel. The DCI is my hometown newspaper and I’m honored to follow in Randy’s shoes as publisher. Tamie Meck will take over the editorial duties. Meck has been covering the North Fork and will continue to do so. We’re in good hands. Buffy Zentmeyer will

take on our business office, while Roxanne McCormick will continue as advertising manager and Ron Sunderland as production manager. It’s a solid team and I’m confident the DCI will continue to provide you the reader, and you our advertising partners, a high-quality product. My confidence is high not only because of the ability of the team at the DCI, but because of the solid foundation established by the Sunderland family. Are changes coming? I’ve been asked this question by several people. The short answer is, the biggest change will come digitally. A new website, along with an accompanying app, are in the works. Details to come. At this moment I prefer to celebrate the upcoming retirement of Randy and Pat. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe their work at the DCI over the past 30-plus years. Come join us from 10 a.m – 3 p.m. Friday at 401 Meeker St., as we celebrate not only their retirement but their contributions to the Delta County community.

Beware of those who would restrict public access Dear Editor: In the July 3 issue, on the letters page, titled in smaller print at the top OPINIONS, an unsigned and unverified but obviously biased and slanted piece appeared under letters to the editor, all signed. The position of the piece suggested that it was probably another letter to the editor, but since it was not signed, it’s not a big stretch to assume it was an editorial opinion. The headline of the article immediately paints a negative picture of the president of the United States, which certainly indicated a possible anti-Trump slam would follow. Which it did. The article or opinion or whatever it was is filled with quotes from left wing environmentalist lawyers and other activists. Those quoted are: Kyle Tisdel, attor-

ney and energy program director with the Western Environmental Law Center; Natasha Leger, executive director of Citizens for a Healthy Community; Taylor McKinnon, a senior campaigner at the Center for Biological diversity; Nathaniel Shoaff, senior attorney at the Sierra Club; and Rebecca Fischer, climate and energy program attorney with WildEarth Guardians. All of the inferred facts announced by these so-called experts were in no way supported, just reported as facts. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand and realize that these are the same people who, or others with similar minds, brought you travel management some 30 years ago. Their apparent purpose is to restrict public lands for public use, including management, in any manner available. Even if it means to cut off

their noses to spite their faces. I do wonder about the new owner/publisher’s journalistic commitment to only report fair and balanced news. The placement of this un-authored piece directly under signed letters to the editor certainly raised some red flags. Someone certainly should assume full responsibility for writing anonymous pieces that give the impression they are “news.” Bill Sutton Delta (Editor’s note: The DCI’s commitment to fair and balanced news has not changed. It was assumed, apparently incorrectly, that readers would understand the origin of the content based on the individuals and organizations quoted within the piece. In the future, we will strive to label such pieces as press releases.)

Court battle FROM PAGE A1 Additionally, FERCrate regulation would not affect state energy-related laws and regulations, Tri-State has said. On Wednesday, the Colorado Senate wrote Tri-State asking for “careful deliberation” before proceeding with the FERC vote. It said the Legislature worked

closely with the company on a “historic and important piece of energy legislation” designed to advance the state energy policy in an environmentally-conscious way. Senate Bill 236 was a collaborative process meant to, among other things, ensure PUC “oversight of key aspects of Tri-State’s resource planning,” the letter, signed by Senate President Leroy Garcia and Senate and House leaders, states. Yet, Tri-State did not inform lawmakers during these talks that it was planning to implement changes that would shift regulatory authority to the PUC, “thereby potentially undermining critical parts of the very resource planning oversight it was negotiating.” The Senate letter said lawmakers are concerned Tri-State “was not more transparent” about the possible transition and they want to better understand what might happen to rural co-op members if the PUC and Legislature lose their roles in ensuring fair rates. “ ... we strongly urge Tri-State to delay the vote of the board for several weeks in order to meaningfully review the consequences that this impactful decision will have for Colorado ratepayers,” the letter states. On Wednesday, Boughey reiterated FERC rate regulation won’t affect resource planning or carbon reduction requirements placed on Tri-State under SB 236. The company will continue discussing the issue with legislators, as well as continue to work with the PUC to develop rules governing its integrated resource planning, he also said, and FERC rate regulation will aid Tri-State’s board has “directed pursuit of an aggressive program to continue to further green our grid, reduce our emissions and lower rates,” Boughey said. Tri-State’s consideration of the FERC matter was not prompted by the PUC complaint, Boughey also reiterated Tuesday. “Tri-State considered FERC regulation well before DMEA filed its complaint with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, in fact, DMEA itself has argued in the

past Tri-State should be regulated by FERC,” he said. DMEA was dubious, per the Tuesday filing, which says the FERC vote would be held with scant information after only a few weeks’ notice. “No reason exists for this sudden urgency other than to attempt to preempt the PUC proceeding,” the document states, going on to allege Tri-State “secretly created a framework” for the vote by “inducing” DMEA and other members to support bylaw changes, without disclosing these changes would be used in the attempt at FERC regulation. This was “an undisclosed scheme” to obtain FERC jurisdiction, even though Tri-State represented the bylaw changes would not subject it to FERC jurisdiction, and would not automatically establish new classes of membership, the complaint goes on to detail. On June 5, though, the wholesaler advised members that its board would “consider” in July whether to become rate-regulated by FERC, according to the document. The document also cites concerns expressed by other cooperatives about inadequate information pertaining to FERC oversight and the need for more time to consider how such a change would affect costs. Based on the preliminary agenda for the TriState board’s meeting July 9-10, DMEA thinks a vote could be held on the FERC question. The timing is suspicious to DMEA, given that in June, the PUC ordered Tri-State to make available for deposition witnesses who could answer further questions concerning its proposal to seek FERC jurisdiction. Yet the only dates TriState has suggested for such depositions would occur after its vote on the FERC matter, DMEA claims. “In other words, if the FERC vote goes forward and (the board) votes to accept the new member and become FERC regulated, the court should expect that Tri-State will seek to stay, dismiss, or otherwise interfere with the PUC proceeding barely a month before the scheduled final evidentiary hearing,” the complaint says.

This, the document also says, would reward Tri-State for “improper gamesmanship, forum shopping, bad faith conduct and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing it owes DMEA.” But Tri-State has been forthright with members, per Boughey. “TriState has been open, has engaged in discussion with the membership, and continues to meet with members and other stakeholders to discuss the potential decision,” he said. In its motion for the injunction, DMEA alleges Tri-State “dug in its heels,” and refused to accept the PUC’s jurisdiction, instead maintaining it is the only entity with the right to decide the exit charge. The association, having been dealt legal defeats on the matter, is acting in bad faith to interfere with DMEA’s action before the PUC, the filing alleges, calling immediate court intervention the only way to prevent Tri-State’s attempt to divest the

This is our way of saying ‘thanks for supporting us.’”

pursue higher education and career-oriented goals online. Universities across the country offer accredited online programs that allow people to complete most of their coursework from home. One challenge for many rural students is the cost and inconvenience of finding a qualified proctor to administer required exams for course completion. In Delta County, the library district provides college-proctoring services at no cost to the student. “Without the libraries, I’m not sure that I would’ve chosen to return to school at age 26 with almost 10 years

in the workforce,” says Hotchkiss resident John Moore. “I’ve never been a fan of living in cities, which is why online education was perfect for me.” In mid-June, Moore graduated from Oregon State University with a bachelor of science degree in fisheries and wildlife. During his four years at OSU, Moore says he took at least 25 exams proctored by Delta County Libraries’ staff members. Gail Srebnik, administrator of Delta County Libraries’ adult literacy program, does a majority of the testing. “Gail was always polite and genuinely interested in what I was doing,” Moore explains. “The library made it convenient for me to take classes and complete my degree online. It saved me a lot of time and money. You won’t find many places that don’t charge for proctoring.” Srebnik understands the importance of offering the service free to local students. “There are already so many expenses that can become barriers to pursuing or completing a degree. Our hope is that by providing this service, students in our communities will feel empowered to stay in Delta County and still achieve their educational goals.” In 2018, library staff proctored 33 college exams for students working toward various college certificates and degrees. Following his graduation, Moore plans to become a game warden in the Colorado Rocky Mountain region. Moore is grateful for the opportunity that Srebnik and the libraries provided in helping him achieve his goals and he hopes that others will take advantage of the service in the future.

Planning commissioners appointed from each commissioner district were near their district’s table also to discuss land use regulations with people from their districts. Casselberry and county administrator Robbie LeValley also took com-

Four questions were posted at each table, with pens and post-it notes for residents to write notes in answer to the questions and/or leave comments of their own. The questions posted were: 1. Are we missing any important land uses in the list we have created? 2. Would you make any changes to what is an E (exempt from regulation); P (allowed, but a permit required); L (allowed, but subject to use-specific standards verified administratively); C (allowed only after conditional use approval)? 3. What issues do you think we need to take into consideration as we finalize zoning district and use? 4. What issues do you think we need to take into consideration as we begin developing zoning maps?

The mosquito is a tiny and bothersome insect that weighs an infinitesimal 2.5 milligrams. But it poses a very real threat to humans by transmitting West Nile Virus (WNV). Last year, the national Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recorded 96 Colorado cases of the virus and three deaths. One of the victims was Chuck Clark-Martin, a sergeant with the Denver Sheriff ’s Office. The other was long-time Paonia resident and journalist, Ed Marston. The CDC reports a total of three deaths but research has been unable to confirm the name of the third victim. Of the known victims, both 63-year-old ClarkMartin and 78-year-old Marston were in good health and at first showed no severe symptoms. The lack of definitive symptoms is a characteristic of the early stages of the virus. Early symptoms are similar to common influ-

So far this year (as of June 25, 2019), the CDC website has recorded zero cases of WNV in Colorado, however nearby states have reported cases of human and non-human infections including Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas. Non-human infections are detected in trapped mosquitoes and in so-called ‘sentinel animals,’ such as research chickens which are caged and exposed to mosquitoes in order to monitor the presence of WNV. Wild birds and sometimes domestic horses are also considered sentinel animals. In 2018, a countyby-county count by the CDC showed that the neighboring counties of Delta, Mesa, Garfield, Montrose and San Miguel each reported from 1-10 human cases of WNV. Other nearby western slope counties reported zero human cases in 2018 whereas the counties of Larimer, Weld and Boulder in northeastern Colorado reported higher numbers of between 1120 cases. As the name suggests, West Nile Virus appears to have originated in Africa. By 1999, it had been detected in New York State and it was first recorded in Colorado in 2002. By 2003, when

That same year 2,947 Coloradoans were sickened with 63 deaths reported. Last year, national cases of WNV had fallen to 2,544 with 137 deaths. WNV cases fall into two categories: neuroinvasive and non-neuroinvasive. Of the over two-thousand cases reported nationally in 2018, 63% were neuroinvasive infections which include meningitis and encephalitis — serious diseases which impact the brain or spinal cord. Only a small percentage of human fatalities occur in either category but either type of infection can lead to long-term complications.

Dollar General is coming to Paonia BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

Rumblings of a Dollar General coming to Paonia are no longer rumor. Paonia town administrator Ken Knight confirmed Wednesday that on June 10 the town received a petition for annexation from Vaquero Paonia Partners, LP. “Coopendata,” a database of companies registered in Colorado, lists a Fort Worth, Texas, address for Vaquero. Earlier this week a request bid from the “Western Colorado Contractors Association Weekly Project Listing” for a 9,100-square-foot “ground up Dollar General” ended up on the Facebook Paonia Message Board. The post drew immediate responses lamenting the proposal, concern for local businesses that could be affected, and anger toward the town and Delta County for what some perceive as a done deal made behind closed doors. The accusations of closeddoor dealings are without merit, said Knight. “Yes, I have been in contact with Vaquero. That’s my job.” But to present anything to the public prior the petition coming before the town board of trustees would be inappropriate for this or any other development proposal. Vaquero is requesting a “C2 Community Commercial District” zone for the parcel. The zoning is different from the C-1 Core Commercial District zoning, which supports businesses and facilities in line with the characteristics of the town, and that they be located in the downtown core. The zoning designation requested by Vaquero is intended to “augment the commercial and business needs of the community” for developments requiring close

access to main traffic arteries or immediate access to large parking areas, or that require generally larger ground-level floor areas than smaller retail shops. And while Vaquero is petitioning for annexation and zoning for a parcel located east of the intersection of Price and Samuel Wade roads adjacent to West Elk Wine & Spirits, “At this stage, they’re not talking about Dollar General,” said Knight. “They are talking about annexing a piece of property with a C-2 zone. Anything allowed under that zoning law can be built on that property.” Knight explained the annexation process. First, he said, current property owner Arvin Stahl gave permission for Vaquero to submit the petition, which went before the Paonia Board of Trustees at the Tuesday, July 9 meeting. Per Colorado statute, the board must accept the petition, said Knight. “That, or they have to have a very particular legal reason to not accept the petition. At this point there is nothing that either the town or the town attorney or myself feel would allow them to deny accepting the petition.” The lot meets state and local criteria for annexing. Samuel Wade Road, which has already been annexed, is identified in the 2010 “Highway 133 Corridor Master Plan,” an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the Town of Paonia and Delta County, as having “a direct influence on future growth, economic vitality, and Paonia’s small-town character,” and urges the town to direct that growth outward from the downtown core. The document was adopted in 2010 to address Paonia’s DOLLAR GENERAL TO B2

A vacant parcel of unincorporated land adjacent to West Elk Wine & Spirits west of Paonia on Samuel Wade Road is slated for a Dollar General store. The annexation and zoning process began Tuesday night and will provide numerous opportunities for the public to comment.

PES getting a new mural BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

A month before last Friday’s Cherry Days 5k Run, Paonia Elementary School’s Paonia Parent Organization (PPO) wasn’t planning on organizing the event. But when the Paonia High School cross country team announced that after several years it would no longer take on the fundraising event, Cherry Days committee president Bob Bushta called the organization’s president, Carrie Johnson. “He said please, please, please,” said Johnson. The PPO had already put on the Mountain Harvest Festival last September and knew what it needed to do, so it said yes. Organizers got Scott Siettmann with ScottMeets, a timing and meet management company, to commit to the date, marking the first time in the race’s roughly 11-year history that it was professionally timed. “We wanted to make it feel a bit more professional,” said Johnson. As for getting enough entries to pay for the event and have a little left over for the school, “We weren’t sure what to expect,” said Johnson. But by race day, 74 had preregistered and several more registered the morning of the race. Everything was “awesome,” said Johnson after the start of the race.

Over the July 4 holiday, several incidents occurring on area rivers provided stark reminders that water levels remain at above-average flow levels. The first incident occurred on July 4 when two individuals hit a downed tree at approximately 5:46 p.m. while rafting on the North Fork of the Gunnison River

were transported back to their vehicle by the Hotchkiss Fire Department. USGS reported discharge at that time was 1,980 cfs. The second incident occurred at 5:16 p.m. Saturday, July 6 on the North Fork of the Gunnison River near Somerset. Delta and Gunnison County sheriff ’s offices, the Paonia Volunteer

Police Department and North Fork Ambulance responded. The individuals were canoeing when one fell out. USGS reported discharge at that time was 1,750 cfs. No indication was given as to why the man fell out. The two continued their trip down the river. On Sunday, July 7, the Delta County Sheriff ’s Office received a report at 7:38 p.m. that a man had fallen off his raft into the Gunnison River near the 2200 Road bridge at Austin and had not resurfaced. Shortly after, and before the deputy could arrive on the scene, the victim’s brother reported to dispatch that he and his girlfriend found his brother walking on the road. Once on the scene a deputy determined alcohol was involved for all three persons. Dispatch called the girlfriend and brothers’ parents to give them rides home. USGS reported discharge at the time of the incident was 3,430 cfs. Delta County emergency management coordiantor Kris Stewart reminds

tious when making trips down the rivers. Flow is still high, and waters are fast-moving. The Gunnison River will be rising again as water is released to keep Blue Mesa Reservoir from spilling. Stewart recommends those planning to raft, canoe or kayak area rivers hire a licensed guide service or go with experienced guides. Without proper equipment or experience a fun river ride can turn deadly. Paonia resident and seasoned boater Bill Brunner witnessed the incident at Somerset. He urges extreme caution in areas like the White Buffalo Dam about a mile upstream from Black Bridge Winery, where numerous rescues and near drownings have occurred. As flows drop, said Brunner, concrete, re-bar, fence posts and other jagged items surface. “Enjoy the water, but have respect,” said Brunner. River runners should know what’s ahead regardless of the section they’re running, seek experienced advice on runs and conditions, and dress for the cold water, not the hot sunshine.

Paonia’s 1996 Comprehensive Plan, a policy document for Paonia and Delta County to use in considering specific land use and development proposals to address future growth and development outside of existing town boundaries while maintaining the area’s rural agricultural setting. The town is currently working to update the plan and obtained a grant to hire a summer VISTA intern to work on it. Once the petition is

accepted, under a separate agenda item the board will pass a resolution initiating the process. At that point, the petition will go before the Paonia Planning Commission for a full review and a public hearing. That hearing is currently scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, unless the planning commission finds a reason to continue the hearing, said Knight. The petition would come back to the Board of Trustees for a public hearing and decision,

The town is going through the same process now with another parcel on Stahl Road, said Knight. The Green

Belt subdivision application has been reviewed by the planning commission and recommended for approval by the board. It is scheduled to come before the board for consideration at the July 23 board meeting. If the Vaquero petition is approved by the board, “At that point they can apply for a building permit,” said Knight. Absent anything outside of what’s allowed in C-2 zoning, the permit can be issued and the project can move forward.

Temporary homes needed for kittens BY EMY LYNN ROQUE CISNEROS Staff Writer

Do you have a little extra space in your home and some love to share? Surface Creek Animal Shelter is looking for four foster homes for 15 kittens. The length of time needed for fostering varies — some kittens only need a week, others need a home for a month. Any length of time though would help, said Jacki Dapkus of the Friends of Cedaredge Animal Control (FCAC) board. A foster home could house a kitten, or two, for a couple weeks before heading out of town on vacation. SCAS provides everything needed for foster families, including a pop-up kennel to contain the curious felines. In general it’s okay if a foster home has other animals. What’s most important is the

ability to provide a safe space and some playtime. No bottle feeding is required, as these little furballs are weaned and simply awaiting spay/neuter. Kittens aren’t spayed/neutered until they’re three pounds. This means many of these little felines at SCAS have to wait a month or more from intake until they’re adoption ready. When kittens stay in a shelter for an extended period of time, their overall risk of getting sick, often in the form of gunky eyes and a cough, rises. Then their length of stay is increased as they wait to get well. Tootsie and Roll are two kittens recently neutered and were adoption ready. Then they caught a kitten cold. “If they could go to a foster home, they’d be better in a week,

much faster than trying to recover here,” said Dapkus. Most of the kittens awaiting spay/neuter aren’t sick. And Dupkus wants to keep it that way. Even if a family could only take a kitten for a few days, being in a home and played with could make all the difference. Sugar and Boo Boo are ready to be spayed/neutered, but they’re not tame enough for SCAS adoption standards. In this case a foster may only be needed for a few days until the kittens are ready. The more tame a kitten, the better their odds for adoption. Fostering is a great opportunity for kids and these kittens are a good short term project before school, said Dapkus. If a child has trouble letting the kitten go after fos-

tering, SCAS can even come and get them. SCAS is not predominantly foster-based since it has a building, but foster homes provide kittens the best chance at success in life and help them start life on the right paw. “Every day they’re not here and playing with people, the

better their chances in life overall,” said Dapkus. Those interested in fostering can contact the shelter by calling 970-856-2346 or email surfacecreekanimalshelter@ gmail.com. The process is easy, only requiring a home inspection for safety and some contact information.

Women serve Cedaredge BY EMY LYNN ROQUE CISNEROS Staff Writer

On June 22 the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsored a women’s community service day and potluck. They invited other women in the community to join and tackled several projects. These projects included a food drive for the Surface Creek Food Bank, quilt tying for quilts to be donated to local needy families or causes, card making to give cards to local firefighters, police officers, and military personnel and weeding areas for the Town of Cedaredge. Some women also decorated “Blessing Bags” where each woman who decorated

a bag will take it home, fill it with inexpensive items she chooses and pass it onto another woman who could use a bit of light in her life. She then encourages that woman to do the same. Clothing and resources foster families need when they have children arrive without items were previously donated and on Saturday these items were sorted. Titled, “Foster Family Clothing Project,” they moved items from bags and boxes into sizes/gender and put them in labeled bins for easy access. When asked what the goals of this project were, Tanya Simler, one of the leaders for the service day, responded the group hoped

to give support and service to organizations in our area who help others, build a greater sense of community and build understanding and friendships among the women of our community. The idea for a day of service stemmed from conversations amongst the women participating in World Day of Prayer. “As we have talked there, a few of us decided it would be nice to have a community service day where we could continue our friendships and make a difference in our own community,” said Simler. She then worked alongside the leadership of the women’s group, Relief Society, to make this dream a reality.

Movies coming to Arts Center BY DON BENJAMIN Staff Writer

The Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center (GMAEC) will launch its first feature film on July 17 with a classic western adventure. The historic building housing the center will be returning to its roots since the site was once a movie theater. And the first feature will be a movie which entertained audiences there in 1953. Although the center’s initial contract with its movie distributor prohibits it from advertising the title or actors in newsprint, readers of a certain age are sure to recognize the plot. Homesteaders are being forced off their land by a ruthless cattle baron and his gang of henchmen until one day a stranger arrives clad in a buckskin jacket. The stranger goes to work for a family and soon their young son is enamored with the mysterious man. Only a showdown

can resolve this memorable classic with a one word title. If you’re still not sure of the title, call the center at 970-856-9195 or visit its website: www.grandmesaartscenter.com. The western will be shown in a free evening performance on Wednesday, July 17. Doors open at 6 p.m. with show time at 6:30 p.m. Popcorn, candy and beverages will be available for sale. Future midweek evening performances and Saturday matinees are in the planning stages with the most current information available on the GMAEC website. The films are made possible by a generous grant from The Colorado Grand, an annual tour of classic cars which travels through the Surface Creek area every September. The Colorado Grand donates funds to support a wide variety of projects in communities along its route.

London Summers portrays lightning in last week’s production of ‘Spring: Nature Explains’ as Winnie Hirsch (playing narrator ‘Belinda Nature’) and Hunter Voss (playing ‘Weatherman’) look on. The kids are Cedaredge residents. Children taking part in a theatre camp helped design costumes, props and stage settings for the musical play.

Summer theatre camp shines BY DON BENJAMIN Staff Writer

Last Friday marked the inaugural performance by young thespians from Cedaredge’s summer theatre camp and the show was a memorable one. A capacity crowd of all ages packed into the Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center’s Bank of Colorado Theater to enjoy an original musical play entitled, ‘Spring: Nature Explains.’ The play was written by Cedaredge residents Nancy and Gary Sturgil. Nancy and fellow Cedaredge resident, Brenda Anderson co-directed the performance. Brenda also served as song director with lyrics by herself and Gary Sturgil. The pianist was Mary Locke of Cedaredge. Over two dozen children and young people were involved in the production. The acting cast members included Winnie Hirsch of Cedaredge who portrayed ‘Belinda Nature.’ Winnie served as the chief narrator of the play. She introduced a variety of weather-related characters and received knowing applause when she reminded the audience that anything from sunshine to snow can happen on any given day in Colorado.

Other Cedaredge players included Cambree Hanson (Butterfly); Hunter Voss (Weatherman); Izzy and Maya Cerise and Kelsea Kissner (Farmers); London Summers (Cloud); Gus Hirsch (Earth); Mary Locke (Sun); Ava Cooper (Lightning); Colt Camp (Rain) and Emmanuel Barajas (Wind). Other cast members included Eckert residents Zander Gonzales (Snow) and brothers Jack (Munchie the Caterpillar) and Benji Jordan (who helped sing the Weather and Metamorphosis Songs). For a finale, the entire cast, along with camp counselors, sported red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet outfits as they assembled on stage and invited the audience to join them in singing the Rainbow Song. The backstage and stagecraft crew included Cedaredge residents Keaton Sanders (production manager); Logan Locke (props & T-shirt design); Isaak Kuzov and Issac Tullis (sound effects); and Nolan Hanson (technician). Quinnton Flores of Austin took care of the production’s business matters and Addie Collins of Delta provided makeup.

Four Cedaredge High School students served as junior camp counselors: Adison Arnett, Emaleigh Moorehead, Winnie Hirsch and Hunter Campbell. Adult counselors were Cedaredge residents Karen Locke, Richard Udd, Ginny Stohler and Karen Cline as well as Nancy Carlson of Eckert. Dale Russell Smith helped with props and T-shirts and Terry Hotz coordinated camp registration and snacks. Both Smith and Hotz live in Cedaredge. Business and individual sponsors supported the camp including Cristee-Meade Building Company, Bank of Colorado, Cedaredge Land Company, Benson Brothers of Austin, Nancy Carlson, Karen Locke and the Hirsch Family. Activities for children continue this summer at the Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center (GMAEC) with classes offered every Tuesday from 1-3 p.m. through August 6. Topics include soap making, hand building with clay, and painting with alcohol ink. Students can sign up for classes at the GMAEC in downtown Cedaredge at 195 West Main Street or online at grand . For information call 970856-9195.

of the rose and its care and uses throughout the modern-day garden. A summary of her information was handed out to the members for future reference. One thing of interest to the members is that noted English garden expert and author Catherine Horwood in her book, “Rose,” stated

that “Rose fossils dating to 40 million years ago have been found in Colorado.” This may give our state the distinction of being the birthplace in a round-about way of every rose variety that we now enjoy. Pretty awesome!! After a question and answer session, members toured Joan’s garden and saw how she has utilized this versatile and beautiful plant. July’s meeting takes our members to Grand Mesa for our annual wildflower tour. This is an activity we all look forward to every year. And this year, with more than adequate amounts of precipitation, we expect the viewing to be spectacular. We will be lunching afterward at Alexander Lake Lodge. We will be viewing Mother Nature at her best with her wildflower display and enjoying local cuisine to top off another wonderful day in our awesome countryside. Pioneer Town activity is at fever pitch with our maintenance of the two beds outside the west entrance to the welcome center. Members take a week, sometimes one in each month, to volunteer their time for weeding and deadheading plants so that the beds here always look their best. It is our way of giving back to our community and helping to maintain this historic site along with all the other volunteers who keep it running smoothly for the enjoyment of all who

Partners golf tournament moved to September The very popular Partners Golf Tournament held annually at the Cedaredge Golf Course has changed the date from mid-July to Sept. 14. “We changed the date early in the year when we were unsure if the back nine would be open,” said tournament volunteer manager Bob Page. “After the wet spring we’ve had, the course is coming along fine. We are betting a

fall tournament in cooler weather will be just as popular as our summer event.” This tournament is a four-person scramble and usually fills up fast. Players and sponsors are happy to support Partners, a mentoring program for youth in Delta, Montrose and Ouray counties. The golf tournament has for many years been the largest fundraiser for this vital organization.

CHURCH

Delta County Independent

Workshop to be held at Methodist Church Community United Methodist Church (CUMC) in Cedaredge will be host to a workshop on raising white children in racially unjust America Sunday, July 14. The Rev. Jennifer Harvey, PhD, professor of religion at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, will preach at the church’s 10 a.m. worship service then lead the workshop from noon to 3 p.m. The workshop at CUMC — “Raising White Kids: An Anti-Racism Conversation for All of Us” — will help partici-

pants answer tough questions that arise when raising white children in an increasingly racially diverse society where there are racial tensions and inequity. The conversation will ask: • Should we teach white children to be “colorblind” or should we teach them to notice race? • What roles do we want our children to play in addressing racism when they encounter it? • How do we talk to our children about white privilege and racial

injustice? • How do we teach them honestly about race without making them feel bad about being white? Workshop participants will identify strategies for raising healthy, antiracist white kids — critical work for the church and community to do as an investment in the well-being and futures of all of our children. This conversation is for you if you’ve been a white kid, are helping raise white kids, have relationships with people who used to

be white kids, or have children in your life who are friends with white kids. In other words, everyone has a place in this discussion. Harvey is nationally known as a writer, speaker and workshop leader for her work on racial justice with a focus on white anti-racism. She is author of two books: Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America and Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation. She has

Delta County Independent

A creative couple with a heart for the community Judy and Don Chapman give freely of their time to their church and their hometown of Delta.

BY PAT SUNDERLAND Managing Editor

To many Delta County residents, Don Chapman is the pharmacist in the white coat who not only fills prescriptions, but also offers helpful advice about possible side effects and how a new prescription might interact with other medicatons. To members of Delta Christian Church, he is an elder, youth group leader and occasional preacher. Judy, his wife of nearly 43 years, is active in the women’s ministry team and with daughter Cheryl organizes an annual Christmas tea that has drawn as many as 200 women. Both are members of the Delta Lions Club — Don since he was 21 years old, and Judy

As she has honed her talent as a watercolor artist, Judy has also taken on the role of chairman of the Rockies West Watercolor Exhibition, held in Grand Junction every spring.

more recently. Both are also members of Delta Fine Arts, a guild dedicated to promoting the arts in Delta County. Photography is Don’s creative outlet. While he’s taken just one class, he’s carried a camera for most of his life and has developed an eye for framing the perfect shot. He’s won some awards for his photography, but primarily takes photos for his own personal enjoyment. Landscapes are a favorite subject. Judy is a painter who picked up the basics of drawing and painting in elective classes at Mesa Junior College. After she received her associate degree, she returned to her hometown of Paonia and began taking oil painting classes from Parma Tyson, who operated the Sage Dome Gallery in Hotchkiss. She also dabbled in acrylics, pastels and tole painting, but said she never took herself seriously as an artist, even when she was asked to teach art at the Delta Academy for Applied Learning. “What really got me going,” she said, “was when I was asked to do the hall murals when we built our church. Still, I was really hesitant to call myself an artist.” Then she was commissioned to do wall murals to complete a remodeling project at Daveto’s Italian Restaurant. “The Montrose Daily Press had an article about those murals, and when they called me an artist, I was floored — they had called me an artist! From there I started taking it more seriously.” To get a better feel for color, and how to mix pigments for the best results, she began taking classes from Dani Tupper, a well-known watercolor artist in Delta. “I figured colors are colors, but Dani is an amazing teacher and I really fell in love with watercolors.” Her favorite subjects are scenery, animals (especially dogs) and her granddaughters. “I really enjoy doing por-

Watercolors have become Judy’s favorite method of artistic expression.

traits, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in that,” she said. She also struggles with pricing, and relies on experts like Dani Tupper and Ann Honchell, owner of TADA! Your Art Space, for guidance. “But mainly I paint because I love it. Whether it sells or not, I like to make it,” Judy said. In addition to the gallery at TADA!, Judy’s paintings are on exhibit at the Creamery Arts Center in Hotchkiss and Bill Heddles Recreation Center in Delta. She says her finished artwork is a team effort; Don cuts the mats and frames the artwork so it’s ready to hang. Don and Judy were a year apart at Paonia High School, and the only class they had together was band. They didn’t start dating until several years after high school graduation. Don was at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Judy was at Mesa in Grand Junction with his sister. Don recalls seeing Judy at college graduation and wondering if she would go out with him. But it took several months for him to work up his courage, and they didn’t go on their first date — to a rodeo — until August. Three years later, after Don had graduated from pharmacy school, they were married. Don said his decision to become a pharmacist arose from a freshman civics class, where the teacher showed a film highlighting the profession. His grades in science and math were “adequate,” and he had to sit through a lot of chemistry classes, but he accomplished his goal. After completing his internships, he went to work for Mesa Memorial Hospital in Grand Junction (which is no longer in existence). When he and Judy were married, they moved to Delta and Don went to work at Kellogg Drug, a Walgreen agency. Delta boasted three independent pharmacies at that time, Don recalls. In the early 1980s, Don bought the store from Kelly Kellogg and converted it to a Medicine Shoppe franchise. That store shared a building with Moonshine Liquors, along Highway 92. In 2000, Don sold the Medicine Shoppe to Safeway, and the liquor store expanded into the other half of the building. Due to a non-compete clause with the Medicine Shoppe franchise, Don could not work as a pharmacist in Delta so he became a “floater” for Safeway. “They moved me wherever they needed me, but staying in motels and eating at restaurants got old really quick,” he said. Judy was working as a preschool teacher at Great Beginnings, so she wasn’t able

to join him on the road. When he expressed a desire for a change, Safeway moved him to a store in Grand Junction and then to Montrose. His commute was shorter, but still he jumped at the chance to work closer to home when he was offered a job at the City Market in Delta. Although mostly retired, he occasionally fills in at Cedaredge Pharmacy and at Hays Drug Store in Paonia. He has high praise for Dick McGaughey, the father of the current owner, Rick, who was a “marvelous mentor” during his college internship. Judy no longer teaches preschool, and is instead a Mary Kay consultant. To her surprise, sales really took off and she was named “queen of sales” the first year she sold cosmetics. “I enjoy meeting with other women and helping them find what works for them, what makes them feel beautiful about themselves,” she said. Deliveries require frequent trips to Paonia, Cedaredge, Hotchkiss and Crawford, but she also has customers as far away as Idaho, and those orders have to be boxed up and shipped off. Once the orders are on their way, she picks up her paintbrush or sets out on a bike ride with Don. They try to get in a

couple of 20- to 30-mile rides every week. ATVing is another shared interest. Don’s calendar is filled with church and community activities. He is a 55-year member of the Delta Lions Club and the county chairman for the Lions’ KidSight program. He serves on the Delta County Board of Health and the board of Families Plus, and is the president of the governing body of Rocky Mountain Tres Dias West. This very active group is described online as “an ecumenical movement open to any Christians who are interested in deepening their Walk with the Lord.” His unwavering faith is a motivating factor for his commitment to his church and the community, but he also holds dear the words of his grandfather, who said, “If a community is good enough to live in, it’s good enough to give back to.” “To do that, he said you needed to volunteer as much as possible. That philosophy, as well as a strong work ethic, were ingrained into my father and then into me,” Don said. Those values are clearly also shared by Judy. The Chapmans have not just made Delta their home, but they’ve done their part to make it a better place for all to live in.

A love of travel is evident in this photograph by Don titled “Irish Moorings.”

This photo of the Monastery of Saint Naum was taken by Don during a trip to Macedonia.
