Delta land swap is off the table BY PAT SUNDERLAND Managing Editor

Delta city manager David Torgler reports that proposals and counterproposals for the potential swap of Cottonwood and Riverbend parks have come to naught. The city had been discussing the exchange with Bill St. James, owner of several parcels of land near the intersection of Highway 92 and 50, on the south side of the Gunnison River. The intent was to exchange the city-owned land on the north side of the river for property considered to be more visible and accessible. The city had explored both recreational and commercial uses for the land. Although St. James withdrew his proposal, Torgler said St. James continues to work with the city as he explores opportunities for developing the entire parcel through other partnerships. He’s reportedly also open to discussions with the city about river access and the development of trails on the south side of the Gunnison River. The city still desires to spur

commercial development on the north side of Highway 92, and is working to acquire the water system presently owned by Tri-County Water. City service currently stops at the end of Ute Street. Tri-County provides water service from that point, but its system is not built to accommodate fire suppression services. That’s hampered development along Highway 92 east to Stafford Lane. Kit Johnson, owner of Valley Sunset RV, has been working with city staff on a plan to expand his business, but can’t proceed until the water system has been upgraded. During a previous discussion on water line needs for that business and others, the Delta Fire Department related stretching hoses across Highway 92 to deliver water to a fire in a house on 1675 Road. The city has expressed a willingness to acquire and upgrade the water system to increase fire flow for all homes and businesses in the area, including Valley Sunset RV.

Compost site clears planning hurdle BY KATHARHYNN HEIDELBERG Montrose Press

Several minutes of silence passed Thursday evening, before Montrose County Planning Commissioner Dennis Murphy made the motion to advance a proposed composting facility on Amber Road. Although applicant 3xM Grinding and Compost nixed its original plans to bring in biosolids to the intended Thunder Mountain Organics site, neighboring property owners who spoke Thursday maintained concerns about dust, traffic and property values. “I had some problems with the biosolids stuff,” Murphy said, after public comment. “I think the applicant has made a fairly diligent effort to accommodate most of our concerns. I think we’ve listened to a lot of the public comments at the last meeting and incorporated those into conditions, that, at this point, I’m feeling fairly confident that we could proceed with something that would protect the health, safety and welfare of citizens. ... At this point, I could support the proposal.” Murphy’s motion went to a vote after Dave Frank’s second. With a 4-1 decision, planning commission sent the application for a special use permit to the Montrose County commissioners for further consideration on July 17, with Rob Smith the lone nay. The permit, if ultimately approved, would not change the zoning from general agriculture, but rather, would allow composting at the site as a special use. Brothers Keith and Kirt Mautz sought the special use

permit to operate the former Thunder Mountain Speedway site as a green waste composting business. The Mautzes operate another composting facility, using manure from their own feedlot, on Banner Road. Following neighborhood outcry, the family met with concerned residents and decided to no longer seek to compost biosolids — human sewage already anaerobically treated — at the Amber Road site. Neighbor Gordy Diers said on Wednesday he was pleased with the news and cautiously optimistic. Thursday, he said he was concerned at the prospect of manure also being composted at the Thunder Mountain/Amber Road location. New special use conditions Planning Director Steve White earlier enumerated barred “animal waste,” language the Mautzes wanted clarified so that it would not be read as precluding manure, but instead, would mean animal-processing waste. “The Mautzes currently process (manure) at their feedlot. I don’t think they need this additional facility to process more animal waste. Because it smells. There’s no question about it,” Diers said. “The odors would be nearly obnoxious from animal wastes as they are from human wastes. ... If that’s allowed, I’m as against it as can be. I am not against it for composting, because composting is a good thing.” The Mautzes do not require a permit to compost the manure from their own lot, but do in order to accept such

waste from others. During the hearing and after, Keith and Kirt pointed to other similar operations that also generate odor from manure, including one whose site work is not complete. Theirs would be an engineered facility that keeps manure from seeping into groundwater, Keith said. Some of those who spoke were mollified after learning biosolids won’t be permitted under the new conditions — as long as that was a certainty, and provided dust is taken care of. “I’m really glad they took

out the bio(solids). I’m for the facility, as long as the dust doesn’t come to me,” said Don Taylor, who previously circulated petitions opposing the site. “My big concern is the traffic on the road. ... If this place sells, will this no-bio be permanent forever and ever, till death do us part?” The special use permit and all of its conditions, if ultimately approved, go with the land, White said. Others who took their turn at the mic also asked about dust and traffic, as well as

property values. A resident on nearby 5900 Road, Ken Wilson, asked the county to go to bat for him, by making sure the road is treated with magnesium chloride to keep down dust. Another Olathe resident told planning commissioners “we can fire you all if you let it in,” before being reminded that the planning commission is a volunteer body, appointed by the elected county commissioners. “Is it going to be in your backyard?

Dylan Huston bound for prison in baby’s death BY KATHARHYNN HEIDELBERG Montrose Press

A Delta County woman trusted “the most precious life” to Dylan Huston when she left her newborn baby girl in his care in 2014. He betrayed that trust, inflicting serious bodily injury on Jenabelle Carrera Ross, who was about two weeks old when she died. Tuesday, more than five years later, Huston was formally sentenced to 16 years in prison for child abuse causing serious bodily injury and criminally negligent homicide. The sentence won’t bring back Jenabelle, or even shed much light on what happened to her baby, the mother indicated in a written statement read into the record by Aimee English, victim servic-

es supervisor for the District Attorney’s Office. “What gets me through is that Jenabelle has a voice and I am here to forever let her be heard. Five-and-a-half years ago, my world changed. I trusted Dylan with the only precious life that I have ever been able to call my daughter, and he took her from me,” the woman said, enumerating the days since she last touched the baby — 1,966. “Because of one little anger issue, one little mistake, one little whatever excuse he wants to call it, my child is now just a box on a shelf. Now, just a memory. Now, just a blanket I cry into at night.” Huston was alone with Jenabelle on Feb. 2, 2014. According to a 2015 indictment, the mother returned home to hear

“popping sounds” coming from the baby’s chest. She took her to the hospital in Delta, where it was determined Jenabelle was too fragile to be flown to Denver for treatment. Instead, she went to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, where doctors found a 3-centimeter tear in her stomach. She died on Feb. 5, 2014. The indictment says Jenabelle sustained fractured ribs, along with the stomach tear, and died of complications arising from it. Investigators doubted Huston’s varying explanations, including that the baby might have been hurt pre-birth, when her mother was in a car crash; been swaddled too tight, or injured when mediPRISON BOUND TO A6

Check campground, road status in GMUG Due to warm weather and abnormally high snowpack, GMUG forest officials are warning that due to this year’s abnormally high snowpack and late spring thaws, many forest roads and campgrounds remain inaccessible due to flooding, mud or snow. Travel on wet, muddy, or snow-covered forest roads can cause serious, long-term resource damage, such as rutting, and presents serious safety concerns especially if visitors are unprepared. Motorized and mechanized vehicle users are responsible for knowing when and where they can drive or ride. The public is asked to respect gates and

closed areas and find alternate locations to recreate while muddy roads and trails dry out. Before traveling on public lands, contact ranger districts for current conditions and camp area closures, and find alternate locations to recreate. “Currently we have over 67 percent of our campgrounds open and are working diligently to open more,” said GMUG forest services staff officer Cory Wong. “We encourage visitors to be prepared prior to their visit to the GMUG and realize they may not be able to camp at their favorite spot this year due to the conditions.”

Land use concepts elude Hotchkiss council Dear Editor: I was disappointed but not surprised, when the Hotchkiss Town Council approved a two-lot split of its own recently purchased property on Barrow Mesa adjacent to a R-1 residential area. Some corrections to the June 26 DCI article on the June 13 meeting. First, rezoning had nothing to do with allowing the town to split the

Thanks for the fiesta, GMAEC Dear Editor: We would like to thank the board members of the Grand Mesa Arts and Events Center for the fantastic fiesta dinner they prepared and served at our home. We were the high bidders on this item at the live auction during the Mingle & Jingle held last December. The five-course meal and drinks they provided were gourmet and delicious. We would encourage everyone in the community to support this worthwhile cause. Marv and Jude Kieca Cedaredge

acreage. The rezoning was to allow the town to build a government facility (a large new public works building) on the larger lot. The rezoning allowed the town to construct the facility with no public review or conditions to mitigate impacts on the neighbors. The use is a use-by-right under the new zoning. Second, the “no impact” designation was applied by the town to both lots of the subdivision allowing the town to skip multiple public review steps. There was no difference between this subdivision than any other two-lot subdivision covered under the town’s subdivision regulations, normally requiring a sketch plan review and a final plat review. This is standard in every other normative jurisdiction. The town has clearly stated the purpose of the subdivision and rezoning; to build the public works building on one parcel and have the option of selling the smaller lot to recoup some of the cost of the land purchase. Definitely impacts to water, sewer, traffic, and general peace of the neighborhood. Third, Town Attorney

Bo Nerlin’s reference to “intent” had nothing to do with the future sale of the smaller lot, but rather my reference to the spirit, letter, and intent of the 2015 ordinance that allowed for no-impact subdivision exceptions. I was lead planner on the commission when that ordinance was adopted. Nerlin was saying that the town’s interpretation of the wording of the ordinance trumps any “intent” to not create a loophole in the SDRs. When both actions are considered in context with the subdivision regulations as a whole there is an appearance of the town giving themselves a pass from the spirit and intent of the regulation, if not the wording in one small part. You can do things the right way or the easy way. They chose easy. Your new reporter can be forgiven for not grasping all of the intricacies of land use planning since the council itself, with the exception of Mrs. Koontz, met most of my arguments with blank stares.

Trump plan pushes fossil fuel expansion, undermines climate law The Trump administration released a resource management plan today that would expand federal fossil fuel development across a huge swath of southwestern Colorado, threatening a growing organic agriculture hub and undermining the state’s new climate law. The federal administration’s plans directly contradict Colorado’s new law calling for steep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, a 50 percent cut by 2030 and a 90 percent reduction by 2050. “We cannot afford federal decision-making that continues to ignore climate science,” said Kyle Tisdel, attorney and energy program director with the Western Environmental Law Center. “Sustained exploitation of oil and gas is incompatible with a livable planet while also impeding the progress of communities like the North Fork Valley that thrive from a sustainable relationship to our public lands.” “We will not let this terrible plan for our region stand,” said Natasha Léger, executive director of Citizens for a Healthy Community. “After 43,000 no-leasing comments, a decade of local opposition, and pushback by the courts on Trump’s ‘energy dominance’ agenda, it is truly unconscionable that the BLM thinks it appropriate to now open this rare and irreplaceable ecosystem to destruction by the oil and gas industry.” The resource management plan for the Bureau of Land Management’s Uncompahgre Field

Office would result in more than a half a billion tons of new climate pollution over the next 20 years. It follows a similar draft plan released last week by the Trump administration for eastern Colorado that would triple annual greenhouse gas pollution from oil and gas development by 2037. These plans will dictate public lands management in Colorado for decades. “This plan is a disaster for southwestern Colorado and defies the state’s attempts to rein in climate pollution,” said Taylor McKinnon, a senior campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Nearly a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution comes from fossil-fuel extraction on public lands. Ending new oil and gas leasing on public lands is critical to confronting climate change. You can’t solve a problem by making it worse.” The BLM chose a new plan for the Uncompahgre area that had not previously been released, subverting public notice and comment requirements required under federal law. Despite community concerns about harm to agriculture and recreation, the BLM refused to analyze any alternative that would significantly curb fossil fuel development and rejected a call to prohibit new oil, gas and coal leases. “While local leaders are actively working to protect our climate and environment, the Trump administration is making a concentrated effort to roll back these safeguards,” said Nathaniel

Delta County Independent

Shoaff, senior attorney at the Sierra Club. “We cannot let the current administration overhaul community concerns and state laws to the detriment of us all.” The Uncompahgre plan covers about 675,000 acres of public land and almost a million acres of federal minerals in southwestern Colorado. The region includes the North Fork Valley and Telluride, areas that support exceptional outdoor recreation and Colorado’s largest concentration of organic agriculture. The area also includes numerous threatened and endangered species, including Colorado pikeminnows, razorback suckers, greenback cutthroat trout and Gunnison sage grouse. “The plan is a slap in the face to Colorado’s commitment to reduce climate pollution and the reality of the climate crisis,” said Rebecca Fischer, climate and energy program attorney with WildEarth Guardians. “We’ll see if it stands up in court.” The BLM claims it was unable to measure “the significance of impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions” and argued that stopping new leases in this single plan wouldn’t stop climate change resource impacts from warming, like drought and wildfires. Yet the agency is currently updating 10 resource management plans, including those governing the nation’s largest source of climate pollution from federal coal production in the Powder River Basin.

The commission is a volunteer board, which the elected county commissioners appoint, alternate planning commissioner Jim Haugsness reminded everyone. Dave Taylor lives along 5925 Trail, which borders part of the 38-acre Thunder Mountain parcel. He told of prevailing winds that carry dust and sawdust. “We have five families that have to breathe that,” he said. Keith Mautz said roads on the site would be graveled, as well as wetted down when necessary. He earlier told planning board Chairman David Seymour there is a tap for potable water onsite, which can be used for emergencies like fires and that when ditch water isn’t available, a large tank on the property will supply enough for operations.

lic Health and Environment regulations; they have to obtain a permit from that agency, as well. Those regulations and the application include a detailed odor mitigation plan, which spells out requirements to immediately address problem odors. Indeed, a complainant can pick up the phone and expect an immediate response through the CDPHE, Mautz told planning commissioner Lana Kinsey. “All of us believe in something called the Code of the West,” Kinsey said. “It’s ‘be a good neighbor.’ ... It sounds to me like you do have an immediate remediation plan in place, if there was something that needed to be addressed immediately.” Throughout the hearing, the Mautzes fielded questions from the commission concerning issues such as fencing and the construction of a berm along Amber Road, both of which are among the special use permit conditions. The brothers estimated two trucks a day coming in during winter months and a few more during spring and summer. The former biosolids component only accounted for a small amount of materials that would be coming in for processing. The applicants also took cardboard out of the mix because neighbors did not want it blowing off property. The Mautzes said they have put together a plan with area municipalities to install 40-yard roll bins to collect waste that would come to them for composting.

“They all want to do this. Not only the good environmental benefits, but also the landfill,” Keith said. “All the material that doesn’t show up at the landfill, that’s how long it will extend its life.” If all recyclable material were to be removed from a landfill “it would be huge,” he said. Although the Mautzes cleared an initial hurdle, not all neighbors left satisfied. Brenton Martinez told the planning board his family’s position has not changed — they are still concerned with the flies and odors Thunder Mountain Organics will draw and generate by composting food wastes. After the meeting, his father and neighbor, Jeff Bachman, reiterated concerns about property values. Bachman said although he appreciated how the Mautzes modified their permit, when it comes to property values, “We take the hit.”

City partners with Western Light and Tower for optical fiber BY PAT SUNDERLAND Managing Editor

There’s another player in the world of high speed internet. The City of Delta has entered into a partnership with Western Light and Tower to install optical fiber and infrastructure south of 10th Street from Main to Bluff streets. According to Betsy Suerth, public works and

Youth Tennis Blast Camp at BHRC begins Tuesday, July 30, and runs through Saturday, Aug. 3. Interested persons should pre-register at BHRC before July 28.

residents. The city has agreed to invest in the project by sharing infrastructure and installation costs, in exchange for a portion of the fiber for the city’s own needs. Depending on WL&T’s success and capital investment capability, full build-out in areas served by municipal light and power could take two to 20 years. The city’s cost share for the test area is estimated at $40,650; full build-out is estimated at $500,000. Suerth said a portion of that expense will be offset by the city’s ability to better monitor and control electric and water facilities. A smart grid can offer cost savings from demand reduction, and provide staff with valuable information for project planning.

utilities director for the City of Delta, the installation will provide an affordable internet alternative for residents and small businesses in the area. If the test market proves successful, Western Light and Tower would like to expand the network citywide.

BoCC comments on draft GMUG plan BY ANNETTE BRAND Staff Writer

Delta County commissioners recently submitted their comments on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests (GMUG) Preliminary Draft Revised Land Management Plan. Prior to being released to the public on June 28, the plan was released in April to cooperating agencies. Comments reflect several areas of the proposed plan, which will guide land use decisions for 20 years. Management Approaches are delineated in the Plan but are optional and may be changed administratively. Suitability criteria are inclusive rather than exclusive: projects or activities may occur in an area unless specifically identified as unsuitable. If the plan is silent with respect to the suitability of a project, it is assumed to be suitable. Socioeconomics The plan states GMUG will provide forest goods and services. Delta County advocates language that recognizes the agency’s active role in providing these goods and services, and that it makes a commitment to do so. Lease and permit holders are not included in the list of partnerships and coordination to be prioritized. Delta County contends that citizens and businesses that hold leases or permits on the GMUG should be formalized in the plan. The plan identifies air quality preservation in Class 1 wilderness areas as a priority, specifying that visibility be set on a path toward natural conditions. The county recommends inclusion of language specifically addressing and exempting normal agricultural activities, including ditch burning, tilling and harvesting, from consider-

ation. The plan specifically references oil and gas projects as items of concern for critical pollutant loads. The county is concerned that air quality management for the Class 1 West Elk Wilderness may preclude oil and gas development in the North Fork Valley area and other nearby areas such as the Plateau Valley. The plan proposes to revise oil and gas leasing within three years. Delta County supports the goal of revision as quickly as possible. The plan proposes a regular, comprehensive monitoring program to track performance and evaluate management prescriptions. The concern is that existing grazing permit holders be considered in this process and that economicallyviable grazing operations on the GMUG be allowed to continue. Access/Management This objective stipulates that “climate refugia” be identified and monitored. Delta County is not in support of additional land management designations that entail additional restriction and redundant regulation and contends that existing management plans and designations are adequate to provide functional equivalency, such as wilderness and roadless areas. Water Quality and Water Development The BoCC is not in support of the riparian management framework which identifies a protective zone extending across the entire “inner gorge” of perennial and intermittent streams. This blanket application could have the effect of curtailing most or all surface-disturbing activities in large portions of the GMUG. Restriction on all activities that do not maintain or improve long-term stream health within the riparian management

Citizens can preview draft GMUG plan Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forest officials, along with other officials, will hold a series of open houses to get feedback on the draft Land Management Plan. The first open house runs from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, at Heritage Hall, 403 East Bridge St., in Hotchkiss. Additional open houses are scheduled for July 10 in Palisade, July 11 in Montrose, July 16 in Norwood, July 17 in Ridgway, and July 18 in Gunnison. The planning team will use feedback to inform the draft land management plan and help prepare the draft Environmental Impact Statement, to

include a range of reasonable alternatives. The formal comment period begins with the publication of the Draft EIS, tentatively scheduled for winter of 2020. The comprehensive document will guide forest management, use and protection for 10-15 years and to balance multiple uses with the restoration and maintenance of forest and water ecosystems and identify areas that may be suitable for special designations such as research of natural areas, wild and scenic rivers and wilderness. For more information, contact the planning team at gmugforestplan@fs. fed.us.

vehicle (UTV) category should be addressed in the plan revision, either explicitly including UTV in the full-size vehicle category or by creating a new vehicle category for UTV. Range Delta County is concerned that the standard alteration of grazing practices does not stipulate “if grazing is determined to be the causal factor for non-attainment through quantitative measurement.” The guidelines suggest that grazing should be limited and rotated “to allow plants time to recover (grow).” The county suggests the language be altered to a more flexible and general goal such as “to improve rangeland health and resiliency.” The annual assess-

winter on the GMUG. Delta County is not in support of a management policy that would so drastically limit potential activities on the forest, in the absence of more information about the number and extent of these breeding ponds, and which appears to be reactionary while not addressing actual cause and effect issues related to boreal toad declines. Recreation: Delta County recognizes travel management is not a part of this plan revision; however, the county wishes to reemphasize the continued commitment to providing public access to the GMUG and is not in support of management goals or targets that would lead to additional route closures at a later time. The utility terrain

zone could preclude large numbers of economically-important activities, including water diversions, grazing management, road construction, and timber harvest. At a minimum, Delta County suggests that the restriction be limited to those activities that demonstrably harm water quality and/or provide the ability to minimize and mitigate potential impacts. Delta County appreciates and approves the Forest Services’ commitment to work with stakeholders to provide water supplies to surrounding communities and suggests amended language to highlight the role that stakeholders have in water quality issues, such as well as supply concerns. Wildlife and Biological Concerns Delta County is concerned with the suggested guideline that “30 to 100%” of a sub-watershed should provide wildlife security habit. Concern is that any management guideline that proposes to place up to 100% of a given watershed under restrictive management and requests additional clarification on this item. Concerns exist over guideline requiring no heavy equipment be allowed to operate within 1.6 miles of boreal toad breeding ponds except under snow and ice. This amounts to a de facto ban on all construction in these areas, since heavy equipment operation is generally not feasible in

ment and adjustment to grazing “when necessary to respond to changing ecological conditions or resource concerns” does not include a stipulation to the effect, “if grazing is determined to be the causal factor for non-attainment through quantitative measurement.” Timber The county supports the Forest Service proposal to increase suitable timber acreage on the GMUG and its proposal to prioritize salvage timber sales in the initial years of the plan. Delta County advocates that all salvage timber in suitable locations be available for sale, taking into consideration the supply needs of local dimensional lumber and whole-log timber processors.

death and 10 years for the 2014 burglary of a Paonia home, in which others had also been charged and sentenced to prison. Huston is joint and severally liable for $47,000 in restitution in that case. Huston was extremely cooperative with authorities who interviewed him about the burglary, said Kristen Hindman, his attorney in that case. Huston was contacted about it in South Dakota, where he had been indicted on firearms offenses. In that matter, he was in 2016 sentenced to 27 months in prison, concurrent to a sentence in a drug case, according to federal court documents. Huston will in his Delta County cases receive 220 days of presentence confinement credit off his sentence. His actual time spent in prison may be less than the amount imposed, owing to earned-time credit once inside and parole-eligibility factors. The mother in her statement said she will never be the same, that Huston’s actions left her hurt and “drowning” until the day she decided to forgive him. “I forgave him for me, not him. For my peace of mind, for my healing. Because what I need to

heal properly, he refuses to give us. I’ll never fully know what happened to my child and I’ll live the rest of my life with the nightmares of what she might have gone through.” Numbness, instead of anger, helps her through the day, she also said. “Nothing, ever, will bring my child back. I, and many others, will always be broken. I will always struggle. ... I can’t imagine how he sleeps at night. I pray that some day I get the answers I need. I pray that Dylan has a turnaround. “ ... Nothing, ever, will make my child taking her last breaths in my arms any easier. Not this sentence, and not his judgment day later before God. But at least it is a start.” The woman concluded her statement by thanking the DA’s office, judge, victim advocates and medical personnel involved in the case. “If it weren’t for you all, we would never have the little piece of closure that we are getting today. It’s not what we hoped for, but it’s more than we had those long five-and-a-half years ago,” she wrote. Katharhynn Heidelberg is the Montrose Daily Press assistant editor and senior writer.

Florence Miller Shirley Walter

There will be a memorial for Florence Stewart Miller and Shirley Walter at Stewart Hall in the Methodist Community Church in Hotchkiss Monday, July 8, at 2 p.m. Please come and share stories about these two amazing women.

Prison bound FROM PAGE A1 cal providers intubated her, the document also indicates. Huston was originally indicted on a charge of child abuse causing death, a class-2 felony. His plea, entered last month, was to the amended charges above, which respectively are class-3 and class-5 felonies. Additionally, Huston pleaded guilty in a 2014 burglary case in exchange for a 10-year sentence, to be served concurrently with the abuse and negligent homicide sentence. Child abuse cases are challenging, almost always because investigators and prosecutors lack witnesses who can tell them what happened, other than the suspect, who has no incentive to do so, District Attorney Dan Hotsenpiller said. Huston’s case is no exception and was also an investigatory challenge because law enforcement officers were not informed of the injuries until three days had passed, he said. Further, there were some “inconsistent medical findings,” a point defense attorney Daniel Lavrisha also later made. It’s important for the court and the public to understand prosecutors did not reach the plea deal or its terms “by throwing a dart at a dartboard and picking a number,” Hotsenpiller said. “It’s tempting to ask if this is enough, if this is justice. I don’t know if there’s an actual answer to that,” he said. However, after more

than five years, it is time for the case to be resolved, he also said. “We will never know what actually happened,” Hotsenpiller said. The majority of medical professionals, including pathologists, concluded Jenabelle’s injuries were due to significant, traumatic forces, he said. “That’s what (mother) was struggling with ... and will struggle with her entire life,” Hotsenpiller said, adding there is not an objective, perfect answer about what happened to Jenabelle. Lavrisha said that although doctors had agreed Jenabelle’s injuries were the cause of death, they disagreed about other, “tangential” injuries “or the lack thereof” and one forensic pathologist listed the manner of death as “undetermined.” Although Huston was not Jenabelle’s biological father, he was a “father figure” for the baby, Lavrisha said. “Words are never enough to talk about the emotions everyone feels ... but Mr. Huston is sorrowful of the loss in this case,” Lavrisha also said. When it was his turn to speak, Huston said only: “I really don’t have anything to say.” In imposing the agreed-upon sentence, District Judge Cory Jackson said there are “truly heartbreaking circumstances” at play. Huston did, however, plead guilty to serious crimes. Jackson imposed 16 years for Jenabelle’s

On July 3 Merrily Talbott will perform the award-winning solo production of “The Pink Unicorn” at the Paradise Theatre in Paonia. Written by Elise Forier Edie and directed by Liza Eller, the show is about faith, family, and the healing power of forgiveness. It tells the story of Trisha Lee, a conservative Christian widow from small-town Texas whose life is thrown into turmoil when her teenage daughter comes out to her as gender queer and tries to start a local chapter of the Gay and Straight Alliance at her high school. The Pink Unicorn marks the first one-person monologue performance for Talbott, who in 2001 founded Paonia Players and has brought numerous children’s and community theatre programs to Delta County. When she read the script, said Talbott, “I felt an

immediate connection to her character.” She also has a teenage daughter and knows the challenges of letting her be who she wants. “I thought, I can do this,” she said. Talbott needed both a venue and a director. “Everybody needs a director,” she said. As teacher and mentor, she thought of Eller, a two-time winner of the Paonia Players’ “May Monologue Madness” competition held at the Paradise. “Acting has been a big part of my life for a long time,” said Eller, 16, who is a student at Paonia Experiential Learning Academy and has performed with the Paonia Players and on radio. “I’ve also wanted to direct for a long time.” Eller is also writing a play that she plans to direct. “This is a good trial run,” said Eller. “I really like it so far.” In June Talbott performed the monologue at the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition’s Colo-

The story “can apply to any family relationships, really,” she said. “All families can relate to difficult relationships.” For teens, particularly those working through these tough, often painful issues, “They can see the mom’s struggle, too,” she said. For teens whose friends are struggling through the issues, “Maybe they can come away with more compassion for their friends, and maybe even their parents.” Eller doesn’t flinch at tackling the hot-button topic. “I think we need to bring more relevant topics to the theater,” she said. “I think this is relevant to a lot of people. Those who don’t struggle with it maybe have a friend going through it.” Due to adult themes, “The Pink Unicorn” is recommended for ages 13 and up. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students 13-18, and available at brownpaper tickets.com. Show time is 7 p.m.

rado Theatre Festival in Glenwood Springs. It marked the first performance Paonia Players company has taken to a theatre festival, said Talbott. Both the timing and the show were right. “This show lends itself well to touring,” she said. “It’s just me and a chair.” A teacher and counselor who has worked with teenagers for 25 years, Talbott has experience with students “somewhere on the LBGTQ scale ... I believe it’s an important topic that we need to understand,” she said. “A lot of families, including conservative Christian families, are dealing with it right now.” It’s a powerful show, she said. When she first performed it in Summit County, a mother with a son who came out a month earlier and another whose son came out a decade earlier, both told her, “You are telling my story.”

Delta County takes land use comments WE'VE

BY ANNETTE BRAND

MOVED!

Staff Writer

At the June 27 input meeting on the Delta County land use, Delta County staff and county commissioners took comments and answered questions. The meeting was held at Needle Rock Brewing in Delta and was attended by about 30 community members. County Commissioners Mike Lane (District 1), Don Suppes, (District 2), and Mark Roeber (District 3), planning commission members and county staff were on hand to review maps and other information. Elyse Casselberry, county community and economic development director updated the public with slides and narrative. Casselberry said that Delta County is not a county with no regulations, rather it’s a county with limited regulations. However, those regulations are complicated, unclear and unpredictable. The Land Use “tools” Delta County currently has available include a junk ordinance and subdivision, mobile home, and specific development regulations. At the three tables, each representing one of three commission districts, were copies of a conceptual plan for community members to review. District 1 commissioner Mike Lane, Don Suppes (District 2) and Mark Roeber (District 3) , along with planning commission and county staff members, met with the public at each of the respective tables to review the the conceptual plan, maps and information, and speak with members of the public and answer questions about land use. Conceptual information was provided and partici-

pants were encouraged to leave their questions and comments on sticky notes at their district table. For District 1, sample comments include the following: “In addition to coordinating with municipalities, coordinate with other land agencies.” “Be careful to maintain wildlife corridors; work with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Conservation District. From District 2: “What would you call a small gun repair – in my house or put in a shed?” “Working on land use/zoning compatibility, it is important to remember to understand and think through clearly.” District 3: “What constitutes limited review/permitted?” “Water availability based on future drought trends and drought contingency plans.” Additional comments may be directed to Casselberry atecasselberr y@deltacounty.com, or by calling 970-874-2110. Comments can also be mailed or delivered to 501 Palmer, Room 115, Delta, CO 81416.

Vaping ban takes effect Effective Monday, July 1, vaping is prohibited indoors in most public places. The new law aligns smoking and vaping by adding vaping to the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, which already prohibited smoking indoors in most public places. The change comes as Colorado high school students are found to vape twice as much as the national average. A key strategy to addressing youth use of these products is to eliminate them in public spaces, as youth can be highly sensitive to normalization and perceptions of harm based on what they see in their environment. The new law also increases the distance from public entrances where people can smoke or vape from 15 to 25 feet. Studies show to completely avoid exposing others to secondhand smoke in an outdoor area, a person who is smoking may have to move as far away as 25 feet. According to statewide surveys, outside the doorway to a building is

the most common place Coloradans report “having to put up with” secondhand smoke. The new law will help protect customers and service industry employees at restaurants and bars, for example, from the cancer-causing chemicals, heavy metals and nicotine that are in the vapor that comes from vape devices. Any agencies or businesses in Delta County that need support updating their policies to be in compliance with the new law, can contact the Delta County Health Department for technical assistance at 970-874-2165. Tobacco use is still the number one cause of preventable death in Colorado and is linked to about 30 percent of all cancer deaths. Quitting smoking is the most important thing a smoker can do to be healthy. Individuals who are ready to quit tobacco/nicotine products can access free support and resources through the Colorado QuitLine at 1-800-QUIT-NOW or coquitline.org.

‘Small Town Living’ lives on at Cherry Days BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

The 73rd annual Cherry Days festival opens Thursday. One of the longest continuously running festivals in Colorado, this year’s theme is “Small Town Living.” Cherry Days grew out of small-town spirit. It started with a decision in 1946 by members of the then newlyformed Paonia Lions Club to hold an Independence Day celebration. World War II was over, war-time military football games had popularized the sport, and the community wanted to raise money to light the high school football field so the home town could host night games. To honor the town’s already long-standing reputation for producing award-winning fruit, in particular the one fruit ripe by July 4, they called it Cherry Day. The Cherry Days Committee that organizes and runs today’s Cherry Days is smalltown in action. It formed in 2012 when the little festival was floundering. Then called the Days Forever Committee, members vowed to keep the festival alive, bring some of the early traditions back and promote class reunions. Original members still volunteering their time and talents to keep the festival going include president Bob Bushta, treasurer and advertising manager Tina Walker, secretary Kathy Linnell, coal-shoveling and parade coordinator Ulli Lange, and food vendor coordinator Brian Mellott. Esther Kinser, Rene Atchley, Sheree Fisher, Skip Naft and Spencer Lightfoot are now part of the committee. The newest members include Tony Soto, who organizes the Cherry Days talent show; cherry pit spit and log splitting contest coordinator Darrell Speights; and Cherry Days booth manager Barb Newland, who is also new to Paonia. While visiting Paonia last July Newland and her husband volunteered to man the booth, said Bushta. “That’s small town.” Bushta handles Cherry

Days royalty and scholarships (the king and queen will be crowned at 12:15 p.m. following the parade at the Paonia Park gazebo), recycling, Wow Factor Attractions and activities on the football side of the park, and problems. “I guess I’m the go-to guy when things go wrong,” he says with his signature sense of humor. Volunteers too numerous to name will be pouring beer and wine, graciously accepting last-minute parade entries, emptying trash cans and recycling bins, organizing and judging contests and quietly working behind the scenes. “It would be impossible to list them all,” said Bushta. “We can’t forget Patty Naft,” he added. As parade emcee, she announces all entries from the judging platform on Grand Avenue, and does so with a smile. Each January, said Bushta, planning for the next Cherry Days begins. The committee’s first orders of business are setting festival dates and choosing a new theme so high school art students can start working on theme-based logos to submit for the Cherry Days art contest. The winner gets a cash prize and their work featured on Cherry Days advertising and buttons. This year’s winner, Audra Niermann, was inspired by the small-town theme to draw the iconic red barn located midway between Hotchkiss and Paonia. “It’s kind of a well-known barn around here,” said Niermann, who is also the second member of her family to submit the winning entry. You might also catch some home-town flavor between 6-9 a.m. Thursday at the annual Paonia Volunteer Fire Department pancake breakfast at Town Hall. It’s affordable, and proceeds go to the fire department’s scholarship fund. Find a comfy spot to watch the parade. Grand marshal Norman Vincent is being honored for his nearly 40 years of providing reliable, professional and affordable veterinary care in Paonia. He retired

Business licenses on Paonia agenda BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

The issue of whether to require businesses within the town of Paonia to be licensed will again come before town trustees at the regularly scheduled July 9 town board meeting. The town’s governmental affairs committee considered the possibility of licensing businesses and sought direc-

tion from the board. Following public discussions on the subject at the May 28 and June 11 board meetings, trustees directed town administrator Ken Knight to draft a business license ordinance for the trustees’ consideration. That draft will be presented to board at the meeting, according to Knight. Town staff anticipates this will be a discussion item.

Paonia trustees to consider three planning items July 9 BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

Paonia trustees will hold public hearings at the July 9 board meeting to consider three items that came before the planning commission in June. Commissioners voted to recommend to the board of trustees that a variance request by Shane Smith to construct a 20-foot unattached garage for a residence on Delta Avenue be denied. The maximum height allowed under current R-2 zoning is 15 feet. They recommended approval to the board for annexation and re-zoning of property located at 419 Stahl Rd. as a condition of receiving a town water and sewer tap. The existing lot, which fronts the west bank of the North Fork of the Gunnison River, is used for agricultural purposes and includes a single-family house with a secondary unit with kitchen. Charris and Dulcie Ford plan limited agricultural use and “activities meeting the definition of neighborhood commercial use.” Under annexation the property would be known as the “Greenbelt Addition.” The Fords plan to

allow a segment of a future public trail system on the property. “It makes perfect sense to annex this property,” said planning commissioner and Paonia mayor Charles Stewart. It’s in the town’s power, and the land is located in a planned growth area. However, he disagrees with the zoning request in that a better option exists for the owners. Given the owners’ description of planned use for the property, said Stewart, he recommends they consider changing the zoning to Estate Residential District (ERD). There was some confusion on how to proceed. Should the owners research their options and elect to change their zoning request to ERD, explained town administrator Ken Knight, they may ask the board to send the proposal back to planning and zoning or request a change in zoning designation at the board meeting. There would be no need to postpone a decision by the board, said Knight. “It’s just a recommendation.” The commission will also recommend approval of an application for major subdivision by Lynn Mattingly

for the South Clark Avenue Subdivision, a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Because the existing 1.3-acre parcel includes shares of Stewart Mesa Ditch water, commissioners ask that those rights be transferred to the covenants of a homeowners association as condition for approval. The proposal would extend Clark Avenue as a cul-de-sac, with a proposed public pedestrian walkway. Mattingly proposes splitting the parcel into seven residential housing units — one single-family unit and three, two-unit town homes with shared lot lines. In both written and verbal comments, Clark Avenue residents expressed concern over a lack of parking spaces in the development that would cause a “spill-over” of cars onto the narrow street. One resident called the proposal “out of proportion and balance with the (Clark Avenue) neighborhood.” The motion to recommend approval included a recommendation to town staff for proposals to mitigate traffic congestion and parking issues.

Paonia comments on pending O&G legislation BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

Following discussion by Paonia trustees on action item regarding pending oil and gas

legislation, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Minerals will include comments from the Town of Paonia in its official

The Hotchkiss Fire District was on hand when West Elk Clinic kicked off summer with a health party Saturday, June 29. Various health providers manned information booths, handed out healthy veggie snacks, and threw in some treats for good measure.

“Restoring Community Input and Public Protections on Oil and Gas Leasing Act of 2019.” The bill aims to “amend the Mineral Leasing Act to make certain adjustments in leasing on federal lands for oil and gas drilling and other purposes.” The three-point letter reflects written comments submitted to the subcommittee by the Valley Organic Growers Association on behalf of its 125 member growers, farmers and ranches. Comments address potential impacts of oil and gas activity on the North Fork area community, the need for adequate time for all interested parties to fully consider issues and provide meaningful and relevant comments to land management agencies, and provisions that allow for shorter lease terms. On June 20, Paonia activist Pete Kolbenschlag, director of Mountain West Strategies, traveled to Washington, DC, to testify before the subcommittee in support of the bill. Kolbenschlag, who submitted his comments to the town board with his request to be on the agenda, lauded the North Fork Valley’s agricultural and coal-mining heritage. He described how the water that flows into irrigation ditches

also flows over public lands, and that recreation industries in the area that could be adversely affected by oil and gas activity represent $2 billion in annual resident spending, and how hunting is a “huge economic boost.” The bill, he said, addresses “some of the challenges” small communities like the North Fork Valley face in getting their voices heard and said “the bill would help fix a broken oil and gas leasing system.” The bill would decrease the term of leases from the current 10 years to five years, require better up-front planning and increased transparency, and mandate a minimum 90-day public comment period for pending oil and gas leases. The current administration allows for a minimum of 15 days for public comment, he said. For hunters and farmers and ranchers who irrigate, that leaves little time to visit pending lease sites and gain a better understand how those leases may affect them. Kolbenschlag said his intent is to provide the town an opportunity to comment to the subcommittee on the bill ahead of the July 5 deadline. He said that while legislation O&G LEGISLATION TO B2

FROM PAGE B1 ing Chamber businesses and organizations has something small-town and unique to offer. So, what is small town living anyway? “It’s living in a community where you know a large amount of people in the community and you share experiences with them,” said Bushta. “Small town is having a legitimate concern for your neighbors.” Like last winter’s water crisis, “the town came together and worked together. It was impressive.” Bushta teaches math at Paonia Elementary

School, and is now teaching the sons and daughters of former students. “That’s small town,” he says. “You literally know their entire families. You become a part of their lives.” Become a part of Cherry Days and experience small town living Paonia style. Some details to be aware of: Alcohol: While beer and wine will be available in the wine garden, no outside alcohol may be brought into the park. Park shelters: Park shelters are not available during the festival

and are for craft and food vendors only. Vendors are open from 11 a.m. to dusk both days. Safety: For safety purposes, organizers ask that no dogs or glass containers be taken into the park throughout the festival. While dogs are generally welcome in the park, due to numerous dog fights and other (sometimes icky) dogrelated mishaps that have occurred during Cherry Days, dog owners should leave their best friends at home. Glass: Also for safety reasons, please do not bring glass into the park.

is being asked to review, analyze, comment on legislation that is pending before another governmental entity.” The board, said Stewart, “ has an awful lot of work to do just simply to stay on top of the issues that we absolutely have to address.” “I believe this issue comes before the board quite a bit,” said Kolbenschlag, offering to share the five-page piece of legislation. “These issues are important for the town, and will continue to come up in the future.” When sales are proposed at Paonia Reservoir or in the town’s drinking water table, there needs to be time for council to consider what its residents want them to say. “With all due respect, I think there’s an opportunity to support particular pieces of the legislation,” he said. Calling it an issue “vitally important to the town,” trustee Mary Bachran urged the board to allow town administrator Ken Knight to draft a letter. “Any step we can take to bring a small town’s voice to the table is a benefit to this community,” said Bachran. Trustee Samira Hart also urged support.

Trustee Bill Bear called it “inappropriate” for the board to approve a letter without having a draft in front of them to consider. He then questioned the authenticity of Kolbenschlag’s request. “So all a person has to do is come in at the last minute and get a letter written,” said Bear. “I don’t get that sense that applies in that situation,” said Stewart. He said he agrees with the part of the legislation allowing for longer comment periods, recalling last fall when the town had to scramble to submit a letter to the BLM regarding an environmental review proposed gas leasing that could impact the area’s watershed. Mayor protem Chelsea Bookout said she has also traveled to Washington to comment on legislation. It’s helpful, she said, to let representatives “who may not know where Paonia is, that we’re here and we’re having a continuing conversation ... They want to hear from us.” The hearing can be viewed at https://youtu. be/2rK6KPh3m8A. Kolbenschlag’s testimony occurs at 1:09.00.

O&G Legislation FROM PAGE B1 slowly making its way to the Senate, commenting now, “allows the town to have a stake in the process, whereas later in the process it won’t be quite as noticeable. This is not an oil and gas leasing bill, said Kolbenschlag. “It’s trying to put the public back in the process somewhere along the line.” “It’s something that clearly affects us,” said mayor Charles Stewart of oil and gas activity in the area. “Without commenting on the merits of the proposed federal legislation, I always have concerns when this board

Cherry Days royalty to be crowned July 4 Coronation of royalty for the 73rd Cherry Days festival will be held July 4 at 12:15 p.m., immediately following opening ceremonies, in the gazebo at Paonia Town Park. The king and queen will each receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Cherry Days Committee. Other royalty nominees will each receive a check for $150. Candidates for Cherry Days queen are: Jade Ellenberger Jade, the daughter of Tanner Ellenberger, plans to study environmental sustainability at Colorado State University. “I have always been an advocate for environmental health,” she said in her application. “I feel that creating a healthier planet is just embedded into my personality.” Jade is described as a hardworking young adult who has developed strength and perseverance to not only get through the rigors of high school, but also work two jobs and support her family in the absence of a mother.

Jade Ellenberger Language arts teacher Kreszenze Allen recognizes Jade has been an inspirational and pivotal part of her younger siblings’ lives. On top of her family obligations, Jade has pushed herself to be her personal best through active and dedicated participation in sports and challenging academics. Jade participated in PHS Swing Choir and was accepted into honor choirs hosted by both Western Colorado University and University of Colorado Boulder. She ran cross country for the Eagles, participated in the Youth Outdoor Network and took on a leadership role on the Executive Student Council. “I have always represented my school as a leader and role model, and I want to do the same for my community,” Jade said. “As a representative of the Cherry Days Royalty Scholarship, I will be a leader for the youth in the community and contribute the knowledge I acquire in college to our town.” Sabrina Leighton Sabrina, the daughter of Kim Leighton and Steve Leighton, is headed to the University of Colorado Boulder with aspirations to earn her doctorate in physical therapy. “Both my father and my brother are physical therapists,” she wrote in her scholarship applicaton. “I have always admired their dedication to the health and wellness of others and a passion for the field of medicine has struck significantly within myself. Just as they do in their everyday lives, I aspire to aid in the recovery of others.” Sabrina moved to Paonia when she was in the sixth grade and has flourished in the friendly, tight-knit community. “The community that I have now come to call my home, my family, has pushed me out of my shell, has given me

the confidence to truly be myself. If I had not left Delta, I would still be a shy little girl. I hold this town so dearly in my heart, I would be honored and grateful if I get the chance to represent Paonia during Cherry Days.” PHS teacher Kreszenze Allen describes Sabrina as a “quiet leader” who can identify what needs to be done on her own, and has the initiative to go do it with quality and attention to detail. Sabrina was an outstanding thrower on the Eagles’ track and field team. She managed the girls’ basketball team and served as senior class secretary. Poppy Lightfoot Poppy, the daughter of Ali and Nolan Lightfoot, plans to attend Colorado Mesa University. An opportunity to work with third grade students at Paonia Elementary School fueled a passion to pursue a career in early childhood education. She would also like to work with students with special needs. “I can’t wait to become a teacher for our future generation, and help build strong, independent individuals,” she said. At Paonia High School, she was involved in choir and athletics. She earned numerous awards in volleyball, basketball and track and field, all while maintaining strong grades. Language arts teacher Kreszenze Allen notes Poppy’s love of learning, which sets her apart from other students. “She does not do assignments for the grade, she focuses on growth and long-term learning, which is so refreshing from the perspective of a teacher.” Beyond Poppy’s positive impact on Paonia High School is her willingness to invest in her community. Allen said Poppy selflessly shares her talents and her gifts with those around her. “I’ve always known how special this place is — the beautiful mountains, the orchards that hug the land, the little radio station that’s always awake even when we’re not, how full the gym gets when there’s some type of game. No doubt, it’s an honor to live here. As far back as I can remember, I would admire the Cherry Days royalty as they went by in the parade ... I would be nothing but honored to continue to represent the town of Paonia.”

Jesse Burns Jesse is the son of Scott and Kitty Burns. He will attend Colorado Mesa University and while he’s undecided about his future career, knows he wants to make a difference. Sports exercise science, photography/film and special education are three fields of study he finds of great interest. “Being an athlete opened my eyes to the magic of what some time in the weight room can do to one’s physique and performance, thus the interest in exercise science. Photography and film I have been interested in since I was a kid. I would take photos and make short movies with my friends. Special education hits deeper with me, for I have a 24-yearold brother with Down syndrome. Without a doubt, he has opened my eyes to the bigger perspective of life and has defined what success truly looks like. He is the reason I want to continue my education and to give back — with whatever field I ultimately choose. “One of my biggest goals and aspirations for college, after college, and for the future is to give back — and I feel that I would be a good applicant to represent the town of Paonia during Cherry Days because I am what this town is about. Giving back is what life is about.” As class president for three years and student body co-president his senior year, Jesse had many opportunities to give back through community involvement. He also participated in Swing Choir and lettered in football, wrestling and track.

Soul Connolly Soul, the son of Lea Petmezas, plans to study elementary education at CMU. PHS teacher William Forrest has had an opportunity to see Soul grow as a student and as a person over the past four years. “In my classes Soul has demonstrated initiative, leadership and a willingness to learn,” Forrest wrote in a letter of recommendation. “Soul has a combination of initiative and passion that defines his work and everything that he does.” Outside of the classroom, Soul has demon-

strated leadership in academics, student government and sports. He played football all four years of high school and participated in wrestling, basketball and swing choir. He celebrated two baseball state championships with his teammates. As a senior, he served as co-president of Executive Student Council. He takes a great deal of pride in the hours he put in as a teacher’s aide for P.E. students in grades 3-6. From that experience, Soul has determined he would love to teach third or fourth grade “because

I believe it is when you have the biggest impact on a child’s behavior.” As a young man who has been recognized as a key role model for students of all ages, Soul said he would be ecstatic to represent the town as Cherry Days king.

When she was little, she said, people were always complimenting her on her water colors. Her mom purchased art supplies for her and encouraged her to use them. This year, she said, she took her first “real art classes” from Jamie Roeber, who teaches art at both Hotchkiss and Paonia. When it came time to enter the Cherry Days art contest, she already knew she wanted to enter a drawing because her older sister Elena won the competition in 2016

with the theme “Seventy Cherry Years.” Studying art under Roeber, and while Roeber was on maternity leave, Paonia artist Spencer Lightfoot, Niermann said she’s tried a few new techniques, including pencil, charcoal and acrylics. “I’ve really learned a lot this year,” she said. In getting her images to look realistic, Roeber “definitely helped me a lot with the technique that goes into it.” For winning the contest Niermann received a certificate and $50. Syrena Diehl was runner up and was awarded $35, and Dantrick Reed placed third and was awarded $20.

Niermann lives on a nearby farm and saw the barn as a good fit to this year’s Cherry Days theme, “Small Town Living.” Niermann is the second member of her family to win the Cherry Days art contest.

A dedication ceremony for the newly-completed Miners Plaza memorial walls will be held at 11:15 a.m. Thursday, immediately following the Cherry Days parade.

Don’t miss these Cherry Days activities BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

While much of the Cherry Days action happens at Paonia Town Park, here are a few activities to consider. Miner’s Plaza Dedication Immediately following the 73rd annual Cherry Days parade, head straight to Paonia Town Park for the longawaited dedication of the Miners’ Plaza Memorial Wall, scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. Located at the southwest entrance to Town Park, the Miner’s Statue honors local coal miners who died working in the mines. The idea for the statue began after 15 coal miners were killed in an April 15, 1981, explosion at the Mid-Continent Coal Mine, officially known as Dutch Creek Mine No. 1, outside of Redstone. This disaster reminded locals of the dangers involved with coal mining and the many local miners who lost their lives. In 1981-82, a group of locals raised funds to commission a statue with sculptor Gary Prazen of Price, Utah. The statue was originally dedicated in 1983, on a rainy Memorial Day, according to local author Dave Bradford, who recently wrote a history of Paonia Town Park. In 2017, a committee was formed to improve the area around the statue. The $25,000 project includes two memorial walls. A call for submissions resulted in the creation of 119 plaques, which were installed on the walls this week, and raised enough money to

cover most of the cost, which was originally paid for by the Town of Paonia. The ceremony is a dedication of the memorial walls, and a re-dedication of the Miner’s Statue. The public is urged to attend. Chaco Reunion It’s been over 10 years since Chaco left the North Fork Valley. A plaque has been added to the new commemoration wall thanking Mark Paigen and Chaco Sandals for creating great jobs in the North Fork Valley for two decades. Former Chaco employees are invited to gather at the dedication and mark this special event. Paonia Museum Ice Cream Social From 1-4 p.m. Thursday, head to the Paonia Museum for the annual Ice Cream Social. A long-standing Cherry Days tradition, the public is invited to enjoy root beer floats and other tasty treats. While touring the museum, meet curator Judy Livingston, a Paonia native whose grandparents arrived in Paonia by covered wagon. She loves to share her knowledge of local history and the museum. Everything about the museum relates in one form or another to Paonia and the North Fork area, said Livingston. The museum is located in two buildings — the former Parks family home and the original tworoom Bowie Schoolhouse. Donated by the family of Kevin Parks and moved to the site in 1998, the house is home to everyday items, personal possessions and locally-made artifacts, among them

original telephone switchboard from the local phone co-op, a cash register from Paonia Mercantile, and many photographs. Moved from its original site in 1976, the schoolhouse is one of a few two-room schoolhouses remaining in the area and offers a rare glimpse into early American education. It still has the original desks, books, black boards, fixtures and other items left in the building after it closed in the early 1950s during consolidation of local school districts. Post-Cherry Days Activities Cherry Days ends Friday night, but a handful of related activities continue on Saturday and Sunday. At 10:30 a.m. Sunday, head to Paonia Town Park for the annual nondenominational Church in the Park. At 2 p.m. Saturday, enjoy corn hole and beer pong tournaments at the American Legion Wilson-Head Post 97, 40772 Lamborn Mesa Rd. The public is invited.

Clusters of cherries, which ripen each year right around the July 4 holiday, are a common sight in the North Fork Valley this summer. “We have a great bumper crop on everything,” said Delicious Orchards general manager Lilla McClure on Saturday. “Outstanding,” says Rob Kimball with Orchard Valley Farms, as u-pick customers streamed in. Andrew Sprauer of Paonia and his family picked several pounds of bing cherries Saturday morning. “It’s a beautiful summer morning,” said Sprauer, and picking cherries “is a lovely way to spend time here in Paonia.”

Downtown Day highlights small-town hospitality BY TAMIE MECK Staff Writer

As part of Cherry Days tradition, celebrate Paonia’s heritage and smalltown hospitality during Downtown Day. A list of participants is available at paoniacherrydays.com. Sponsored by the Paonia Chamber of Commerce, this year’s Downtown Day happens from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday, July 5. Grab lunch and stop by any of the participating businesses to sample local foods and cool treats, shop for specials, and enter drawings for gifts, gift baskets and other prizes. A complete list of participating businesses and their Downtown Day

offerings is available at www.paoniacherrydays. com. “A big part of small town living is supporting small businesses,” said chamber acting vice president, Debbie Kimball. This year’s 34 participants is more than last year’s Downtown Day due to new businesses opening up in the past year, and fewer empty storefronts. The chamber will have a table at its office at 136 Grand Avenue. Stop by and say hello. It has trail guides, maps and lots other local information. From noon to 1:30 p.m., enjoy original and traditional Americana-folk

Delta County area law enforcement agencies are joining forces to bring Dunk a Deputy to Cherry Days. Thursday and Friday, use your throwing arm to “Dunk a Deputy.” From noon-5 p.m. daily, representatives from Delta County area law enforcement agencies will voluntarily seat themselves over a large tank of water. Citizens can pay a fee to dunk a deputy or officer, or a higher fee to dunk the chief, marshal or sheriff, by throwing three balls at a target. Hitting the target causes the seat to collapse, sending the law enforcer plunging into the tank. Proceeds will help area law enforcement agencies to raise awareness of the “Back the Badge” initiative that will be on this November’s ballot. Information on the initiative will be available at the booth.

For more information, contact the Cedaredge chamber at 970-856-6961.

First Saturdays to go a new direction BY DON BENJAMIN Staff Writer

Last year’s first of the month Cedaredge Art Walks are continuing to evolve. The first change for 2019’s art walks was moving the event to the first Saturday of each month for June through September. This year, by mutual agreement, the Grand Mesa Arts and Events Center has taken over coordination of the monthly event from the Cedaredge Area Chamber of Commerce. On Saturday, July 6, the event will feature multiple venues with select downtown and Highway 65 businesses being open to offer food and shopping. To help shoppers beat the heat, the Methodist Thrift

Shop at 205 West Main St. will stage a ‘Christmas in July Sidewalk Sale’ from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. From 10 a.m-4 p.m. the Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center (GMAEC) at 195 W. Main St. will feature affiliated artists and other vendors in the theater. The GMAEC will also host an afternoon soirée from 2-4 p.m. in the art gallery. The afternoon event will feature a cash bar and entertainment by John McCoy plus an opportunity to view the watercolors of Virginia Blackstock. From 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The Old Slaughterhouse Music Hall at 230 E. Main St. will present a flea market featuring artisans and food vendors. The final two First Saturday events will take place on Aug. 3 and Sept. 7.

Community turns out for annual ‘Night on the Town’ BY KAYLEE DUNHAM Staff Writer

On Saturday, June 29, Pioneer Town volunteers and Surface Creek Valley Historical Society hosted their annual “Night on the Town” event. As the hot day turned in to a warm evening, kids began playing games, participating in a historical scavenger hunt, and collecting prizes.

Cedaredge launches cat trap, neuter, release program The Surface Creek Animal Shelter, the Town of Cedaredge, and the Surface Creek Veterinary Center are sponsoring a trap, neuter/ spay, and release (TNR) program for feral and wild cats in the Surface Creek area. There are a number of community cats in the Surface Creek area that have been abandoned or lost, born to stray mothers, are feral, or have never been socialized with people. This overpopulation of cats leads to continuing litters of kittens being born, many of which are brought to the Surface Creek Animal Shelter for feeding, care, and spay/neutering. The TNR release program is the humane way to address the cat overpopulation in the area. The TNR program involves humanely trapping the cats and transporting them to the Surface Creek Veterinary Center to be spayed or neutered and vaccinated. The cats are then released back into the same area where they had been living. The TNR program reduces the number of kittens born in that area, helps

fight the spread of disease among the cats, reduces yowling at night when females are in heat, and will reduce the numbers of cats coming through the shelter. This program also assures new cats don’t come into the territory and will, over time, reduce the feral and wild cat population. There is no cost to participate in the program. Funding for the neuter/spay program comes from the Town of Cedaredge, the Surface Creek Animal Shelter, the Surface Creek Veterinary Center, and from the Summerlee Foundation. To participate in the program, town residents should contact Carrie at the Cedaredge Police Department at 970-856-4301. Those in the Surface Creek Valley area living outside of the Cedaredge town limits must contact Jacki Dapkus at the Surface Creek Animal Shelter, 970-856-2346. Completion of a short questionnaire is required to be sure that the cats in question will qualify for the program — owned cats are not eligible. An approved trap can then be obtained with a $35 deposit.

The trapper should contact Surface Creek Veterinary Center to make a neuter/spay appointment for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. The cats are then trapped a day or two before the appointment and taken to the center for surgery. Female cats can generally be released 24 hours after surgery; male cats can be released 12 hours after surgery. Cats are only accepted by the Veterinary Center if they are in a trap provided by the police department or the animal shelter and are accompanied by all the required, completed paperwork. Once the cats are released, the trap must be returned before the deposit is refunded. Participation in this program is a humane and positive way to help reduce the overpopulation of feral and wild cats in our area. The program helps to improve the health and well being of the cat population, and it helps the animal shelter by reducing the number of kittens and cats brought in. This allows for more room and resources to be used for other companion animals in our area.

Community members listened to live music provided by David and Tamara Hauze. Some people moseyed around with hotdogs as Rotary Club volunteers manned the barbecue, while yet others found refreshments in the Lizard Head Saloon. Over the course of this laid back, enjoyable, and fun evening Pioneer Town had approximately 300 participants. The silent auction tables were covered with a colorful array of plentiful baskets, gift certificates and goodies, all donated by local businesses. Kids who finished the scavenger hunt won prizes supplied from the Pioneer Town gift shop.

In the end, Sherry Henrie, the evening’s coordinator felt pleasantly surprised by the event’s outcome. “The evening was a great success and we had huge community involvement. I think a lot of people really enjoyed themselves,” said Henrie. She hopes that the locals feel pride during events like “Night on the Town” by seeing their contributions being appreciated. The money raised by this event will go toward expanding the gift shop. Henrie said the expansion is a priority in order that the archives can be stored in a climate controlled area, to preserve them as long as possible.

Heritage apples planted in community garden BY EMY LYNN ROQUE CISNEROS Staff Writer

Tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers and kale are all typical produce you’ll find growing at the Cedaredge Community Garden. Now, heritage apple trees are also taking up residence. Four rootstock apple trees from a local nursery were recently transplanted into a new section of the garden with assistance from Bob Morris, of Red Mountain Ranches. Next season after these rootstocks are established Morris will splice from his heritage apple trees and graft onto the new ones in the garden. The garden plans to hold a grafting gathering where he’ll demonstrate the process. The idea to start an orchard section of the garden began when Dea Jacobson, now president of the garden, saw another orchard receive a grant to grow heritage trees that have survived for years. “When looking at the best

things to grow, it’s important to look at survivability, especially through drought years,” she said. From there the interest spread among members and Larry Claxton asked Morrison to participate, since he has some old heritage varieties of apple trees on his property. “I think it’s a good project to preserve some history,” said Morrison. He plans to graft multiple varieties on a tree. One tree on his property has five different varieties in one. The area designated for the trees is new, as the garden leases land from the town. Since their lease renewal is up, discussions on plans for the growth of the garden are sure to happen. According to Jacobson, depending on the support for an orchard, they may eventually have different types of trees, not just apples, in the garden. Part of the garden’s mission is to reflect the agricultural heritage of Surface Creek, so planting heritage

trees fits well. Grants may even be available since it’s a historic project. “It’s great to see these heritage trees that have survived

the droughts over the years, just like the people,” said Jacobson. Jacobson represented the garden at the Rural Philan-

thropy Days. “There was interest by the funders I met with in this project and they will be watching what unfolds as it moves forward,” she said.

Countdown begins for golf tournament BY DON BENJAMIN Staff Writer

The Cedaredge Rotary Club’s Summer Scramble doesn’t tee-off until the end of August but club members are already hard

at work seeking business sponsors and selling raffle tickets. Funds from sponsorships and ticket sales go to support college scholarships for local high school seniors.

The golf tournament is the major fundraiser for the active club which also holds a Memorial Day barbecue, sells pies at October’s Applefest, and hosts an annual commu-

As with its annual golf tournament, proceeds from other Rotary events also go to support local scholarships. This year the Cedaredge Rotary Club awarded $6,500 to graduates of Cedaredge High School. Recipients included Maxwell Moore, who received a Kittie Udd Memorial Scholarship and Peter Sandels, Azalee Hoffbauer, Marian Blanks and Sawyer Carey, all of whom received Max Kendrick Memorial Scholarships. All during July and August club members will be contacting community businesses in person or mailing personalized letters to Surface Creek Valley enter-

Food truck owner Thomas Huggett serves up a classic order of burgers and fries at 7th and Main Street in Cedaredge. Under the name “The Colorado Cravings,” Huggett’s business offers fresh food fast. Other menu items include hand-dipped jumbo corn dogs, deep fried Oreos, fresh-cut fries and several flavors of cotton candy.

Staff Writer

Thomas Huggett is one of Cedaredge’s newest business owners — at 20 years old. Under the name “The Colorado Cravings,” his food truck is offering an array of carnival type foods. His speciality is the hamburger. “I’m a burger fanatic and love making them,” he said. Other menu items include nachos, hotdogs, snowcones, caramel apples and cotton candy. Huggett also went wild with the deep fryer and serves hand dipped corn dogs, including jumbo dogs, and deep fried oreos. When asked what makes his food unique, he said, “I try to make everything on the menu taste great so it’s not just ordinary.” Business hours are Monday-Friday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.. Huggett stepped into the food business by working at another family-owned restaurant. During high school he started as a dishwasher then became one of the cooks. “I quickly discovered I had a passion for making burgers,” he said. After graduating, Huggett started college — the typical course for most. One semester in he realized that becoming a mechanical engineer wasn’t the path he wanted to pursue. While weighing his options for next steps the opportunity to start a food truck business landed in his lap. “Everything came together very quickly,”

Huggett’s father, Jerry Huggett, was completely remodeling the food trailer with a friend. Huggett had seen it a couple times when he travelled to California with his dad to work on it. After the friend decided to sell it, Jerry was offered a good deal. “We saw this as a good investment,” said Huggett. “I figured I might as well try.” Though Huggett was offered the trailer for substantially lower than the retail value, the upfront cost was the main challenge. But with help through a loan from Huggett’s sister, the question on finances was solved. Shortly after Huggett and his father traveled out to California to get the trailer. All this happened in February. They put together the business plan, finished the electrical and got legally established. April 1 marked the first day of business. Located at 7th and Main in Cedaredge, Huggett decided to park the trailer at its current location to keep overhead low. His family already rents the property from his grandmother. One of his “whys” is to pay off the student loan debt. “I really want to build the life I want. I see this as a step towards that investment for independence,” he said. Having been in business for a few months, Huggett said he’s enjoying the journey. Most might see the prospect of launching a business

Celebrate

while young to be impossible. Huggett said his parents served as role models, having always been self-employed. The hardest challenge so far has been self-discipline. While not having a boss or restrictions has been great, Huggett said he’s had to shift his mindset to understand building a business takes time and hard work. “Thomas has really grown as a business man himself,” said Jerry. “He’s having to learn first hand that it takes consistency, trial and error to be successful.” Once he generates enough profit to purchase a bigger generator and different grill, Huggett plans to make the truck mobile and attend some of the festivals in the area. “The trailer is essentially paying for itself,” he said. In the future, though, he hopes to see it grow beyond maintenance to help accomplish his goals. However, already Huggett has seen the positive response that comes from serving people good food. One story in particular stands out. While eating the food truck’s fresh cut french fries, a customer shared how he biked up to Cedaredge from Delta. That particular day the trek was a challenge but he said he persevered to specifically get Huggett’s fries. “I’m trying to live a happy life and make others happy, which just so happens to be through my food,” said Huggett.

at 2:30 p.m. at the golf clubhouse. Raffle prizes are $250 (first prize); $100 (second prize); and $50 (third prize). Winners need not be present to collect their prize. And there will be additional prizes to keep the golfers going including a brand new car. The Deltabased Hellman Motor Company has donated a vehicle which will be awarded to the lucky participant who sinks a holein-one. Golf participants can register at the Cedaredge Golf Course Club House at 500 SE Jay Avenue in Cedaredge up until 7:30 on August 31 or obtain a mail-in registration form from any Cedaredge Rotarian. For more information contact: Richard Udd, 970-778-9911, rludd69@gmail.com; or Bob Michael, 970-8563610, bmichael76@gmail. com.

What’s bugging you? Local gardening questions and answers BY JIM LESER Cedaredge Tree Board

They’re back! The first wave of invading elm seed bugs is upon us. Both adults and immatures have begun their advances on our houses. While their diet consists of elm seeds, their threat is as a nuisance home invader. Elm seed bugs are originally from the Mediterranean area but first showed up as unwanted pests in western Colorado in 2017. Since that time they have become a well-known pest of Delta County homes. With the prevalence of seed-bearing Siberian elms, I don’t expect this pest problem to disappear any time soon if ever. Elm seed bugs have a single generation a year with adults overwintering inside buildings, wood piles, beneath tree bark, leaf litter and just about anywhere they can escape winter weather conditions. As temperatures warm up in the spring, these adults become quite active,

mating and laying eggs on developing elm seeds. If only that was all they did! When overwintering elm seed bugs emerge in the spring, they can immediately become nuisance pests. But wait — it gets even worse. Their eggs hatch and nymphs feed on these seeds but also move around quite a bit, themselves becoming a nuisance. These nymphs feed into June before becoming winged adults. Yes I said winged! That means that they have no problem dispersing over considerable distances. So just because you don’t have a Siberian elm in your neighborhood does not mean you are immune to their invasions. Immature elm seed bugs lack wings and are smaller than their parents. As they grow, black wing pads develop and the abdomen appears as a lighter red color. Adults are the stage normally found in homes. These are about 1/3 inch long with dark, rusty-red and black coloration. The underside of the insect is red. On the back behind the head there is an upside-down black triangle set inside two rustyred triangles. Next to the edges of the wings are noticeable white dots interspersed with rusty-red and black dots. Wings are held crossed over the back

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

and half of the wing is black and the other half is red and black. Adults will be around from summer through the fall when cold temperatures drive them into protected places such as your home. High temperatures during the summer can also encourage both adults and nymphs to sneak into your home. They may enter homes via cracks and crevices, but most commonly enter via windows and doorways that have poor seals and no door sweeps. While in your home they may be seen around windows sills, walls, ceilings, furniture and behind wall hangings. When touched or squashed these bugs can give off a foul odor described as smelling like bitter almonds. Excluding these bugs from the home is done by sealing windows and doors with weather stripping while insuring screens and door sweeps are in good condition. Ensure the caulking around windows and door frames is in good condition with no cracks. Caulk and seal gaps in soffits, gas, electrical and

plumbing lines leading into the house. Once in your home, you can vacuum up the bugs and dispose of them outside or flush down the toilet. An outside perimeter barrier of insecticide containing a pyrethroid around window and door entryways may be the best way to deter bugs entry into the home. There is nothing to be gained by spraying the side of the house or your entire landscape. Sometimes diatomaceous earth does a good enough job in reducing home invasions as a perimeter application. Just when you thought that all that blowing seed and sprouting seedlings from Siberian elms was the worst that could happen, in walks the elm seed bug to claim victory as the top dog nuisance pest. I think I’ve told you before that insects rule! Jim Leser retired to Cedaredge in 2007 after a career with Texas A&M University Extension in entomology. He is a member of the Cedaredge Tree Board and a Colorado Master Gardener.

Us” — will help participants 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

Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America and Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation. She has contributed to The New York Times and CNN and has been a guest on Iowa and National Public Radio. She is ordained in the American Baptist Churches (USA) and a native of Colorado. Harvey’s book on raising white kids is available now at CUMC for $10 and will also be available at the workshop. Plan now to attend the service and/or workshop. Lunch will be served between the two events. Community United Methodist Church is at the corner of NW 3rd Street and Aspen Avenue in Cedaredge. For information, contact Pamela Gubkin weekday mornings at CUMC at gubkin@cedaredgecumc. com or 970-856-3696, or Community United Methodist Church’s Pastor Joe Agne, revagne@gmail. com or 720-891-5233.

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.

Delta baseball team headed for state BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

Delta’s 50/70 Intermediate All-Star baseball team is on its way to the next level, state tournament play, in Thornton at Northern Lights Little League Fields on July 11. Delta’s opponent is undetermined at this time as tournaments begin on Friday in the metro region. The all-stars were competing with Grand Junction’s Grand Mesa intermediates for the right to represent District 1 at state in Denver. The numbers 50/70 refers to the distance from the pitchers mound to home plate (50 feet) and the distance between bases (70 feet). Delta won the twogame series with victories on June 28, 175, and June 29, 12-10. Both games were played at Delta’s Mountain View Park and Ball Fields. City of Delta/Bill Heddles Recreation Center sports coordinator Whitnee Lear noted the games were played in Delta following a request for the games to be played in Delta. This year’s games were both a wild one-sided

affair and a hanging on for dear life ordeal in game two on Saturday. Eban Ficklin breezed through the visiting Grand Mesa’s lineup in Friday’s game limiting them to five runs on six hits with eight strike outs during the five-inning contest. Delta broke open a close game in the third inning to take a 10-5 lead with an eight-run frame which included a Darris Kropf inside-the-park home run. Delta’s offense was paced by four hits from Bryson Inda, including a triple in the fourth inning. Joe Black, Caleb Weams, and Ficklin contributed two hits each in Delta’s win with Davion Lopez and Nate Brewer scoring three times for the winners. Game two on Saturday was close for the first four innings with Delta holding a 4-3 lead. Delta sent 12 batters to the plate in the sixth inning and came away with six runs to build what appeared to be an untouchable 10-3 lead. Grand Mesa refused to go away and countered with four runs

in its own extended sixth inning where 10 batters patterned a trail to the plate. Delta pitching allowed six walks in the frame and kept fans in both camps sitting on the edge of their seats as Delta took a 10-7 lead to the seventh frame. Delta stretched its lead to 12-7 with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh. Grand Mesa kept the pressure on to the end with three runs in the bottom of the seventh to come up short in a 1210 Delta win. Andric Sanchez and Weams were Delta’s batting leaders with 2-4 days at the plate and two RBI each.

Delta defeated Grand Mesa 12-10 to win the Intermediate 50/70 Colorado District 1 title. bats and three RBIs.

32nd annual ‘Sunday in the Park’ The public is invited to celebrate the 32nd annual ‘Sunday in the Park’ at Ridgway’s Hartwell Park on Sunday, July 7. Activities will begin at 10 a.m. followed by our traditional outdoor western barbecue with all the trimmings — FREE to all who attend. Speaking on this year’s theme, “United in Prayer” will be Green Beret Will Summer, a retired communications Sergeant of Operation Detachment-Alpha 595, the Army Special Forces team featured in the book “Horse Riders” and the movie “12 Strong.” Will and his fellow Green Berets from the 5th Special Forces Group were

among the first to deploy to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. They became known as “horse soldiers” after riding into battle on horseback alongside fighters from the Northern Alliance. Will has been married to his wife Dawn for 23 years and they have 11 children. Providing inspirational music will be “The Hubbard Family,” a five-piece live gospel band consisting of Jerry and Debbie Hubbard and their three daughters Emmylou, Lorianne and Jeri. The Hubbards have had the privilege of travelling throughout their home state of Texas, across the USA, and

All work and no play, not recommended: Jess and Gigi Deegan recharge in the high country.

BY ROBBIE WINNE Staff Writer

With summer heating up and the Fourth of July imminent, thoughts of patriotism inform the holiday alongside the parades and the fireworks and the ice cream. In the North Fork Valley there is an ever-increasing group of dedicated workers who show their regard for country and home by donating their time and efforts to local nonprofits, service organizations and civic forums. One such volunteer who figures large in various capacities is Dr. Jess R. Deegan II. Dr. Deegan serves on the

boards of The Abraham Connection and All Points Transit. He is a trustee for the Delta County Library District, president of the Hotchkiss Lions Club, and participates in the North Fork Senior Connection. He is an energetic and visible presence in Delta County, whether riding a Jeep, seeing to last-minute details at Pioneer Days, officiating at the Hotchkiss Sheep Camp Stock Dog Trials, or seeing to patrons at the Crawford Library. This enthusiasm for service springs from Deegan’s professional history, which details a long list of academic achieve-

ments. He was a “military brat,” with both parents in the U.S. Army. After a lackluster try at college directly after high school graduation in West Germany, Deegan threw himself into various jobs, from construction to route sales, restaurants to metal buffing for an instrument company. Deegan realized that each job left him a bit bored. He was successful at all of them however, and recognized his talent for “organization, efficiency and focus.” He credits his change of professional direction to conversations with a co-worker at a restaurant in California who shared her excitement about her course in women’s studies. It made him realize that it was time to rethink his path. Deegan recalls that when he applied at Bakersfield College, he told advisors that he was out to get his PhD. The college is hardly an Ivy League institution so his goals were met with some skepticism. But his focus came into play and led him to California State University Bakersfield (CSUB) with a bachelors degree in psychology, then onto the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned his doctorate. He then advanced to professorships, earning early tenure and promotions to associate and full professor, culminating with his professorship of psychology, emeritus from CSUB. His list of published works is long and reflects his specialization in comparative color vision and acuity across species. His credentials identify him as a scientist, researcher and educator. How does such a high-powered professional decide upon making such a radical life change? Deegan and his wife, Gigi, decided to make the move to a more laid-back and peaceful spot after Gigi was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The time had come, they realized, to adjust their lives to the new circumstance attendant upon her illness. The couple had been visiting old friends from Deegan’s restaurant days who had moved to Crawford, and after visits

Deegan’s background places him in a unique position to help his wife, his family and himself deal with their new reality. As a scientist, he says, he understands the physiology of her condition. However, also as a scientist, he is frustrated by the lack of predictability of the disease. The family works with their “new normal.” Volunteerism seems to be a family condition. Gigi volunteers almost as much as her husband and is equally visible in the community. The couple lives out of town and treasures their rural home. They garden, are fully involved in their community and beyond, and love to spend time on “Ducy,” his ‘64 CJ-5 four-wheeler. Deegan says that Gigi is fearless on the diciest of trails. The couple shares three children (one deceased) and five grandchildren.

Deegan demurs when asked about the time he spends with his various causes, he says “really, it doesn’t amount to that much time.” His desire to jump right into his new community is in keeping with his history. His background and lab work in the complexities of sight make his involvement with the Lions Club a perfect fit, since the club began with Helen Keller and focuses on sight issues. Its motto: “We Serve.” He uses his expertise in psychology in his work with the aging, using his humanistic bent to help educate and support the senior community. As an educator he applies his energies to help administer the library. He’s also available on the Crawford library floor, helping with computer skills and manning the desk. Out of a desire and need to “contribute and make a difference,” the Deegans participate fully in their small town setting.
