County commissioners to consider repeal of oil and gas regulations By tamie Meck Managing Editor

Delta County Commissioners will consider a repeal of county’s oil and gas regulations at a Sept. 3 public hearing. Prior to the hearing, the Delta County Planning Commission will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14 at Hotchkiss Town Hall to discuss “Specific Development Regulations Amending Oil & Gas.” According to the Delta County Citizens Report, the meeting was upgraded by the county Monday from a work session to a regular session to allow planning commissioners to vote on the proposal. If approved, the BoCC would repeal some 20 pages of county land use regulations related to surface oil and gas activity from the county’s Specific Development Regulations. The county acknowledges that its current regulations, adopted in 2003 to regulate surface impacts of oil and gas development, are “inadequate” based on a lawsuit filed in June by North Fork based Citizens for a Healthy Community, according to a July 31 county press release. The lawsuit, which was withdrawn, claims the county failed to properly

follow its own land use process in approving a seismic exploration project north of Paonia for Gunnison Energy. In a July 31 press release, the county called the lawsuit “a waste of resources and tax payers dollars.” County Director of Planning and Economic Development Elyse Ackerman Casselberry said the county views the repeal “as an interim step toward working with the state” to rewrite regulations. The proposal was a response to a petition by CHC for a moratorium on future oil and gas activities. “This is sort of a way to replace the moratorium and acknowledge that our regulations are not quite what we want,” said Casselberry. The county would rely on its 2018 Master Plan to develop new regulations, according to the press release. That plan “supports facilitating responsible beneficial energy” and encourages the county to work with the State of Colorado and Gunnison County to mitigate impacts of energy development. The county was undergoing re-writing its land use regulations when Senate Bill SB19181, the “Protect Public Wel-

fare Oil And Gas Operations” bill, was signed into law last April. The bill gives greater regulatory control to regulate land use and surface impacts from oil and gas development to local governments. Under SB 181 the state will undergo a complete overhaul of existing regulations. That rewrite could take months or years to implement. CHC associate program director Andrew Forkes-Gudmondson, an attorney specializing in water, environmental conservation, and public lands said that under SB 181, “Local government has clear authority to issue a moratorium to address its regulations.” According to the Colorado Sun, at least seven other governing bodies in the state have executed moratoriums on O&G activity since SB 181 was enacted. CHC, a nonprofit representing more than 500 members, says in a written response to the proposal that the move “by the county to repeal regulations with no plan to regulate existing activity or review pending applications a dereliction of duty and simply abdicates local control in favor of relying on the State.” The state and CHC recog-

nize the need to work on the gaps between the two, said Forkes-Gudmondson. “Delta County’s response is to get rid of the regs.” A moratorium would not halt existing activity, said Forkes-Gudmondson. Rather, it would halt future applications while allowing the county to rewrite its regulations. “A moratorium is the only way to halt application approval based on regulations we know are flawed.” CHC estimates moratorium of 4-6 months would be sufficient, said Forkes-Gudmondson. The county-appointed Oil and Gas Working Group has made 33 recommendations to address gaps in both state and county regulations and added consensus points on items like no O&G spills or traffic incidents that are lacking in state regulations. “Delta County has not put a specific proposal forward at this time, so it’s difficult to know what they have to address,” said Forkes-Gudmondson. Cassleberry said the working group’s recommendations are not regulatory in nature, but are 33 areas where county regulations need addressing. “These are concepts we believe

we can write our regulations around.” Calling it a “chicken and egg situation,” Casselberry said SB 181 was made law while the county was identifying areas in current regulations that need improving. Casselberry said the county doesn’t want to get ahead of state regulations; rather, it wants to align its new regulations with state regulations. “We want to ask the state not to impose regulations that don’t apply to the Western Slope,” said Casselberry. “We want a Western Slope solution to 181.” Delta County also wants to see what Garfield, Rio Blanco, Mesa and other counties located within the Piceance Basin are doing, rather than reinvent the wheel, said Casselberry. The southeast corner of Delta County is also situated in the Piceance Basin, which contains reserves of coal, natural gas and oil shale. Rio Blanco County issued an inter-office memo asking Delta County to consider working with them on developing regulations and adopting 1041 regulations. Written in 1974, 1040 regulations define the authority of state and local governments in making planoil and gas to A3

TABOR funds could improve Main St. By Emy LYNN RoQue Cisneros Staff Writer

Delta City Council faces a decision: either determine how a $36,315 refund under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) can be used to improve Main Street, or return it through a utility bill credit of just over $8 per customer. If council can’t decide by Aug. 20, the latter will likely occur, according to City Manager David Torgler. At the July 16 work session, council decided to collectively submit ideas for the refund and discuss them at one more meeting before making a decision. Ideas discussed at last week’s work session include contracting out for a new non-budgeted mural, improve/ finish the Highway 50 road islands (medians left after the truck route), non-budgeted water lines, a boat ramp, a traffic light on the Highway 348 bypass, Main Street improvements, roundabouts, a storm water project not budgeted for in the five-year schedule, and returning it through a utility bill credit. TABOR, limits the amount of revenue governmental authorities can retain and spend. TABOR caps revenue from city franchise taxes, occupation taxes, licenses and

permits, court fines and forfeitures, interest revenue and other miscellaneous revenues. The city has tried to de-Bruce funds with no success. In the past, the city has been unable to narrow ways to use the revenues and defaulted to dividing the refund among utility customers through a credit on their bill. They do agree on improving Main Street, and will vote on exact improvements. “If we’re able to do something helpful [with the revenues] that creates a better business district, it would help us generate an improved business environment that’s generally beneficial to the community,” said Torgler. The major challenge facing council is that whatever is decided needs to be completed before Dec. 31. TABOR revenue use also has to be non-budgeted and benefit the citizens. Council is also debating whether to try again for a de-brucing in the November election, when the city could piggyback on a question about renewing a franchise agreement with Black Hills Energy. The estimated cost of the election is $5,780.00, with a ballot issue notice for a Tabor question estimated at $1,700.

Delta County sees first WNV case of the year

Drowning victim

The Delta County Department of Health reports the first human case of West Nile virus for 2019 in the North Fork area. On Aug. 9 a female was diagnosed and is now recovering from WNV febrile illness. “West Nile Virus can be a serious illness and residents should understand the health risks associated with this virus,” said Delta County Environmental Health Director Ken Nordstrom. “August through September are when most human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in Colorado.” Health officials say most people bitten by a West Nile infected mosquito show no symptoms of illness; however, some people may develop symptoms three to15 days after being bitten. About one in five infected persons will have mild illness with fever, and about one in 150 will become severely ill. Physicians are urged to test patients for WNV if they show signs of fever, altered mental status, suspected meningitis or encephalitis, or sudden painless paralysis in the absence of stroke in the summer months. The following prevention tips are urged: Drain standing water on property; avoid being outdoors from dusk to dawn when mosquito activity is high; use a DEET bug repellent; Dress in long sleeves and pants during dusk and dawn and in areas where mosquitoes are active and open windows should be tightly screened.

At 7:48 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, the Delta Police Department responded to a residence in the 600 block of Riley Lane on a report of a person stuck in a ditch. A 55-year-old female, Sheila Carpenter, of Delta, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Official autopsy results are pending and the case is still under investigation, but the incident appears to be accidental, according to the Delta County Police Department. An obituary for Sheila Carpenter appears on page B4.

Tabor refund question

Back the Badge 2019 Dear Editor: In spring 2019 I had the privilege and enjoyment of attending the Delta County Sheriff ’s Citizen Police Academy, an 11-week free classroom; each week learning some of the tactics and the reasoning behind why law enforcement functions the way it does. In America we have laws to establish standards, maintain order, resolve disputes, and protect liberties and rights. And we have a complex interweaving of trained professionals to enforce laws, prevent crimes, respond to emergencies, and provide support services. The class schedule included presenters from: sheriff’s office, emergency management, search and rescue, traffic enforcement, Colorado State Patrol, evidence collection, crime scene investigations, fire and ambulance, coroner, firearms, victims assis-

tance, K-9, simulators, and tactical teams. We toured the jail and took a day-long ride with a deputy. Such a diverse team of professionals, all working together. I feel deep respect and honor for all our heroes in law enforcement. Delta County law enforcement needs more money in their budgets. Staffing and resources are spread thin while criminal activity, and the community’s demands on law enforcement, have grown, and may continue to grow at a significant pace. As citizens, we should respect and support their mission statement: to serve the public in partnership with our community, to protect life and property, prevent crime and resolve problems in a fair, courteous and impartial manner, with the goal of improving the quality of life within Delta County, while at

the same time maintaining respect for individual rights and human dignity. Please say YES this November to Back the Badge, a ballot question for a 1% tax increase to fund public safety in Delta County. It is important.Important to me. Important to citizens and visitors in our communities. Hopefully important to you. Estimations are that the proposed 1% increase to the county sales tax increase will generate approximately $2.9 million annually, distributed to Delta County Sheriff ’s Office and Delta, Hotchkiss, Paonia, and Cedaredge law enforcement departments. Please consider how much the beneficial impact these extra financial resources for law enforcement can enhance our communities and quality of life. Nan Romane Hotchkiss

Opinion: Who would have dreamed that an internet war could erupt in rural Delta County? By David Marston For years, a company called TDS provided residents with shoddy phone and internet service on copper wires. Seeing an opening two years ago, the Delta Montrose Electric Coop started an independent company, Elevate, to provide internet and phone service on its fiber-optic lines. Rapidly, Elevate signed up 60 percent of Paonia’s households. Elevate boasted rates cheaper than TDS, charges no rent for its modem, and demands no long-term subscription. The beauty part is that it’s 25 times faster. But TDS hangs on, flogging a telecom system based on Alexander Graham Bell technology. Its copper systems are today’s dinosaurs. Flexing serious Denver political muscle to stay alive, TDS recently persuaded the Colorado Broadband Deployment Board to take back a grant that would have gone to Elevate to bring high-speed internet to Rogers Mesa, outside the town of Hotchkiss. That grant for $961,383 would have been matched dollar for dollar by DMEA’s Elevate. The Denver District Court (docket # 2019CV3145) is now hearing the case, based on a claim from TDS that in the next two years, it will build in the same place targeted by Elevate, using federal money allocated for another location. Last Feb. 26, the state’s Broadband Deployment Board voted 7-3 against TDS. But before the meeting was over, three members left the room, which also left the board without a quorum. A vote was rescheduled for March 8. At that meeting, Broadband Board members flip-flopped and DMEA’s grant was revoked. This was a startling development for DMEA.

Dear Editor: I recently read a news story where a group of Jefferson County deputies needed to find donations in order to purchase vests for their police department. The topic of police vests relates to July and August City Council work sessions and meetings. On the agenda for the July 16 work session was item A. “Discussion Regarding TABOR Refund.” The City Council’s main emphasis for using the refund has been for downtown beautification. The other option is to refund the $8 to each of the city’s utility customers. My question to the council members and mayor at the July 16 work session was, “Why does the TABOR refund have to be used for ‘beautification?” I stated that I would like it to be used for our Police Department somehow; suggesting it could be used to purchase vests for the police officers. My request that the refund be used for vests was answered by the council members and the mayor. Their exact words were that the vests are “already budgeted.” Another idea I suggested was equipment upgrade somewhere in the city. Then roof repair. New windows. Trash truck upgrade. All ideas fell flat and the common denominator was “already budgeted.” Jumping ahead to the August 6 council meeting, Police Chief Luke Fedler gave a report about the grants that the police department has recently been awarded. One grant was to purchase vests. In other words, our Police Chief has had to apply for grants to obtain protective vests. Grant writing is a long process and I’m not happy with the City Council and

mayor forcing our officers to wear substandard or outdated vests and/or uniforms in the extended timeline it takes not only to write a grant, but also to obtain the grant. I’m also not happy with our City Council and mayor telling me that the vests were “already budgeted.” That is a false statement. I don’t care if the planters downtown are full of flowers or not, or if the light posts have banners on them. I care about our local law enforcement having the proper equipment. The TABOR refund has to be used by the end of this calendar year, 2019 or the entire

$36,000 plus disappears. It’s been months that the City Council has sat on this refund. Any project or improvement that would take five months or more is now out of the question. What a waste of time and resources. City Council, please understand that the TABOR refund is not your money. It is mine and the voters and taxpayers of this City of Delta. Also, council members and mayor, do not vote for a flower pot or decorative banner over needed upgrades throughout the City or within our Police Department. Cynthia Hansen Delta

School merge positives Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the article in August 7th’s Delta County Independent, “Group focuses on high school consolidation.” As an active parent in the group that is pushing for consolidation I felt that there are a couple key points that did not make the article. First and most important, a consolidated North Fork High School will mean that there will be more academic and extra-curricular opportunities for our students. This includes vo-tech, AP, agriculture, arts, music, journalism, etc. Second, there is not any other school district in Colorado / Wyoming / New Mexico (and possibly further) that maintains two traditional schools with under 200 9-12 graders that are only 10 miles apart. I am not sure why we think this is something that Delta County can afford. Lastly, I really take issue with the asser-

tion that “(consolidation) would take the life blood out of whichever community lost their school.” Our community is not Hotchkiss and it is not Paonia, it is the North Fork Valley, and a consolidated school that combined the student / staff / academic / athletic / parent resources that are currently divided would be something we could all be really proud of. I urge other members of the community to move beyond the legacy of sports rivalries, be open-minded with regard to how the existing school facilities could be leveraged, and advocate to your neighbors and school board officials for what makes the most sense for our current and future generations of students. For more of the advantages of a consolidated school please check out our website, northfork consolidate.com Jon Hickam North Fork Valley resident

The new county Human Services Building construction is underway and with it the budget is requiring some adjustments. While reviewing project costs, Commissioner Don Suppes said the budget has “seen some increases in some numbers and some decreases in others.” To keep in line with the overall project budget Suppes said he’s reviewing several numbers and actively working to decrease expenses including readjusting the tiling in the public restrooms. Suppes said he “fully expected” the jumps

seen in the foundation. “In my opinion they’ve way over-engineered the foundation and excavation work,” he said. The earthwork budget line item jumped from $92,725.27 to $251,669.48. To meet code, fire suppression costs will total about $54,964. Dewatering of a high water table, an unusual site condition, added $21,460.31 to the project. Additional jumps in costs were seen in the plumbing and hot water, heat and ventilation, and site utilities. Areas that saw cost decreases included the geo technical soils report, masonry, metals, windows, stucco, tile work, resilient floor-

ing, and site improvements. “The budget will be tight,” said Suppes. Additional necessary costs include moving of power poles in the parking lot. Landscaping will need to meet city requirements, but Suppes said he aims to save costs by minimizing the work needed by maintenance crews. “Similar to what we did at the health department,” said County Administrator Robbie LeValley. Because the modifications in the scope of work listed in the standard design build were more than $50,000, commissioners were required to approve the change orders.

Suppes said he reached out to several people who had shown interest prior to the auction. Out of two proposals received, the commissioners approved a high bid for $30,000. The bidder has 60 days to move them from the gravel pit area where they’ve been recently relocated. Commissioner Suppes said they’d hoped to come out with a bit of profit with the modulars, but given

The memo describes the regulations as “the best way to ensure “industry is regulated in a manner consistent with the value we place upon their presence in our communities.” Casselberry said the county has not formally agreed to work with Moffat or Garfield counties. Because the counties have dealt with the issue for a long time, “They have a lot of good ideas” on what regulation might look like under SB 181, said Casselberry. Casselberry said Delta County will continue working on rewriting its regulations regardless of the BoCC’s decision.

schools will have a new resource to support their instructional planning, delivery, and evaluation of student performance. This resource is called “Beyond Textbooks.” Beyond Textbooks is a curriculum framework that was initially created by the Vail School District in Arizona. Over the past decade it has grown to serve more than 9,000 teachers and 137,000 students across six states. Its purpose is to provide schools and districts with unwrapped, prioritized, and sequenced standards; teacher-created instructional resources; and common assessments. Beyond Textbooks partner schools are tapping into each other’s expertise and resources to promote student growth and achievement. At the local school level, teachers may continue to use the resources they have been successfully using to deliver their daily lessons, or they may use teacher-generated Beyond Textbooks resources. At the end of each standards-based unit, students will be given a short formative assessment to determine their understanding of content. Teachers will use these formative assessments to determine which students may need additional instruction as part of a “reteach” instruction block that will determine those students who have mastered the content and are ready to continue forward, and those who may need enrichment. At the end of each quarter, schools across the district will administer quarterly assessments to determine student’s retention of concepts taught throughout the quarter. Teachers and administrators can use information from the quarterly assessments to identify strengths and areas of improve-

DCMH awarded opioid disposal resource grant The Delta County Memorial Hospital Foundation (DCMH Foundation) is the recipient of an AmerisourceBergen Foundation grant providing in-home drug disposal resources. In-home drug disposal, or site-ofuse medication disposal,

provides an easy method for people to dispose of their expired or unnecessary medications in an environmentally safe and effective manner. The grant provides a thousand individual packets of “DisposeRx” containing a non-toxic

powder that an individual can pour into a medication container with warm water, and shake for 10-15 seconds. The result is a biodegradable gel that sequesters the physical and chemical attributes of the medication. The medication cannot be retrieved once the gel is formed. Since it is non-toxic, the canister can then be put in a trash receptacle without fear of poison, abuse, or contamination. Safely disposing of unused medication is one of five basic precautions the American Medical Association suggests in preventing the misuse of opioids, along with storing opioids in a locked container, keeping medication in its original package, keeping medications out of children’s reach, and not sharing medications. “We are so grateful to receive this grant that

GMUG warns of increased bear activity The Grand Valley District of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests and Colorado Parks and Wildlife are warning the public of increased black bear activity in and around the Cobbett and Ward lake campgrounds. Due to improper human food storage and disposal practices, the bear has become food-conditioned and has approached campers and campsites in the area. Over time, food-conditioned bears may become bold or aggressive in their attempts to obtain human food, posing a danger to individuals, their property and their pets. This can ultimately lead to the bear being euthanized. Bears have good memories and will return to places they’ve found food. All recreationalists are asked to use the following

food storage and disposal practices: Only have the food out that you are actually using; if you’re not using it, put it back into storage, do not leave food or other attractants (i.e. toothpaste, soap, lotion, etc.) unattended, even for a few minutes. Keep a clean camp, whether you’re in a campground or in the backcountry. Allow grills to burn for a couple of minutes after cooking to burn off grease and to eliminate odors. Clean the grill after each use. Always keep your food within arm’s reach and don’t turn your back to your food. When away from camp, store food and other attractants in an approved bear canister or hang them in a tree at least 10 feet high and 4 feet from the trunk, never in your tent. When car-camping, secure

all food and coolers in a locked vehicle after you’ve eaten. Keep a clean camp and practice “Pack-It-In, Pack-ItOut.” Do not use fire rings to dispose of food, cooking grease or food scraps. If approached by a food-conditioned black bear remember the following: If the bear behaves aggressively, try to intimidate it by raising arms or a large object over the head and shouting loudly. If charged, throw rocks, branches, or other objects at the bear. Be threatening. Do not run. If attacked, fight back! Shout loudly and try to remain standing. Protect head and neck if possible.

Bruce Predmore, donations manager for the Cedaredge Community Gardens, shows off some of the bounty from the garden. Thanks to a grant from the Western Colorado Community Foundation, the garden is producing enough fresh food for its members and the local food bank.

Grant allows garden to give more The Cedaredge Community Gardens has begun its annual produce donations for the food bank last Thursday. “With four plots dedicated to this program, the garden hopes to double last year’s donations,” said garden president Dea Jacobson. The garden received a grant to address “food security” in the Surface Creek Valley

last fall from the Western Colorado Community Foundation. This grant is enabling the garden to increase the production and donation of organic produce for both its members and the food bank recipients. “Locally grown organic produce is the best choice for healthy eating and can be prohibitively expensive for those on fixed

incomes,” said Jacobson. “The late spring held us back a bit, but our crew will continue to provide fresh deliveries every Thursday,” said Bruce Predmore, donations manager for the garden. “The garden appreciates the support from the Community Foundation and their recognition of the service we provide.”

Aspens and spruces are the trees most people in Colorado desire to have in their landscape. But for Delta County residents, choosing to plant aspen trees should be made with the caveat that they often do not do well in our area. While driving around the Surface Creek valley recently I did notice quite a few dead standing aspens, also known as quaking aspens or “quakies,” as well as others with either lower branches dying or leaves taking on a yellowish color indicative of chlorosis. The last time I wrote about aspens and their problems was in 2015. So I think it is time that we again review the maladies that afflict this kind of poplar tree. Aspens typically grow in higher places like on Grand Mesa where they receive more rain and snow and are exposed to lower temperatures. But even at Cedaredge it can get quite hot, and we certainly do not get the moisture that the mesa quakies get. These trees are generally short lived, especially when planted where they are most uncomfortable. Aspens are transition trees and are generally found colonizing unstable areas such as landslide sites. Under good conditions they may live 20 or more years in our landscapes. But in reality think 12 years as a good longevity for some trees. Now I know there are trees out there that are over 20 years old, but these are the exception, not the rule. So if you insist on planting aspens in your lower elevation yards you must do everything you can to keep them healthy

and avoid stress. Proper watering is the key. Too little water and they die; too much water and their roots suffocate and they die. I water mine about every three weeks, for about an hour to reach the entire root zone. The ground beneath them is heavily mulched with cedar bark. You don’t need to water very deeply, only to a depth of about 18 inches will do nicely. Do not get sprinkler water on their leaves. This will foster diseases such as marssonina blight. If you already have this disease, I recommend spraying three times at 7-10 day intervals beginning in the spring when leaf buds are breaking open. A fungicide such as Daconil works well. But the most important practice is to remove all fallen aspen leaves in the fall. This and other diseases overwinter on fallen leaves. Avoid wounding the tree trunk either through careless gardening practices or by letting deer rub their antlers on them. This will open your tree to cytospora canker, a disease that slowly kills your tree. There is no cure. Unwanted sprouts can be mowed or cut off at ground level, but I do not recommend spraying these sprouts with an herbicide. I know folks who do it and seem to get away with this practice, but you could be the exception. Aspens grow as a community with many trees interconnected. Spray a sprout and you might just kill the mother tree. If your aspen has light green to yellow leaves, I would begin by applying a nitrogen fertilizer, such as ammonium sulphate (21-0-0-24S) in the spring. No fertilizer should be

A dying aspen like this one can be avoided with proper care. applied to any trees and shrubs after July 4 to avoid winter kill problems. If this doesn’t cure the yellow leaf problem, consider a soil drench with a chelated iron fertilizer. A fertilizer treatment can also increase the size of your tree’s leaves. Since aspen trees are only marginally adapted to our lower elevations and clay, alkaline soils; we must do everything we can to make them comfortable. Planting on the east or north side of your house is best. West and southern exposures can scorch their leaves. Also, rock mulches will reflect unwanted heat into the trees making them uncomfortable. Keeping aspens stress free using my management tips will go a long way in helping them live long and prosper. And wood boring beetles that are often the bane of our landscape trees will be kept at bay as long as you keep your trees healthy. If the above tree care tips seem too daunting, you might consider some other tree instead. 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.

Bruins, Panthers play well in tourney By KIRBY Henderson Sports Writer

Devil’s Thumb Golf Course played host to 13 varsity teams and many sub-varsity teams. One couldn’t ask for a better day to play golf. The weather was fantastic, as were the attitudes of all. Despite being the first competition of the season for veteran golfers and the first competition ever for others, the athletes played well. When talking with some of the student-athletes from various schools, one could hear…”I’m playing okay, nothing great.” Of course, that’s to be expected with the season just underway. The positive attitudes of all the golfers were noticeable throughout the day. Words of encouragement were consistently exchanged between opponents. This was a well-organized tournament put on by Cedaredge High School head golf coach and Devil’s Thumb golf pro Ken Brown. It’s stressful being the one in charge, but he should

be very pleased with how the tournament went. Montrose won the tournament with a score of 214. It was followed by Fruita (227) and Montezuma-Cortez (233). Delta High School shot a 255, to place sixth. Senior Atley Harris led DHS with a score of 75. Cedaredge High School placed 11th with a score of 278. Junior Ian Anderson, was the top golfer for CHS after notching an 84. When asked for his thoughts on the day, Brown replied, “It went well today, and I’m very pleased with the way our players hung in there. It’s a good starting point.

Cedaredge will be competing in Cortez on Thursday, Aug. 15 and again at Adobe Creek in Fruita on Monday, Aug. 19. Delta will join them in Fruita.

This group of Surface Creek Trail Surfers is a smaller sample of the membership of participants who meet in front of Creekside Cafe each Wednesday at 6 p.m. for an hour-long ‘wog’ on the Surface Creek Trail. Most finish the day with dinner and libations following their return to the cafe.

Surface Creek’s premier socialfitness club celebrates anniversary By Wayne Crick Sports Editor

Locals from the Surface Creek area formed a social-fitness group with the hope of bringing local nature lovers together for a weekly gathering. Since its creation a year ago, the Surface Creek Trail Surfers group has grown to over 20 active members. Each Wednesday

night, men and woman from their 20s to their 80s meet to run or walk the beautiful Surface Creek Trail. “Wogging each Wednesday has become the highlight of my week. I have met great friends who enjoy getting some exercise followed by a cold beer, just like me,” states Michele Hart, a Surface Creek Trail Surf regular.

Wogging, a clever name used to define the group’s activity type, refers to a balance of walking or jogging. Hart reports, “We have a great balance of walkers, runners, strollers, skippers, and lollygaggers, that’s why we call ourselves the ‘Trail Surfers’ because it doesn’t matter how you get down the trail, just surf it, dude!”

The Surfers meet weekly at 6 p.m. in front of the Creekside Cafe for an hour-long wog then most stick around for wogger-dinner and drink specials provided by the great staff at Creekside Cafe. All levels are invited. To learn more join their facebook group: https://www.face book.com/groups/surface creektrailsurfers/

Cedaredge resident tames Spartan Super-Saturday By Wayne Crick Sports Editor

Cedaredge resident Alex Hunt recently attended a Spartan event in Huntsville, Utah, on July 20. Called the Utah Spartan Super - Saturday, the event consisted of an 8.6-mile course of varying degrees of difficulty, which was attended by 4088 athletes (both male and female) who competed in several age divisions.

Hunt was one of 2,815 male competitors and one of 527 males competing in his heat of the 35-39-year-old division. He finished the race in two hours, three and seven one-hundredths of a second behind the winner to place 30th overall and seventh in his heat. What makes Hunt’s feat an amazing accomplishment was the fact it was his first ever endeavor at such an event. In

fact, Hunt nearly missed the race all together when he was informed, moments before the start of the race, he was missing a gray wristband which was his admission through the gate to the course. Hunt had to race back to the dressing rooms, approximately a half a mile away, and get his gray wristband. Hunt made the trip, there and back, just in time to start the race. The only real

Such facilities shall include, but not be limited to, all mains, services, pipes, conduits and all other apparatus and appliances necessary or convenient for transporting, distributing and supplying natural gas for all purposes for which it may be used, and to do all other things necessary and proper in providing natural gas service to the inhabitants of Grantor and in carrying on such business. 2. TerM This franchise shall take effect on the first day of the month following the date this Ordinance is finally approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission or upon the first day of the month following the approval of this franchise by the voters of the City of Delta as required by the Delta City Charter, whichever is later (the “Effective Date”), at which time Grantee will begin to collect the franchise fee set forth herein, and this franchise shall remain in effect for a period of twenty (20) years from the Effective Date of this Ordinance. Until the Effective Date, Grantee shall continue to collect and remit to Grantee the franchise fee required by the prior franchise granted by Ordinance No. 24, 1999, as amended by Ordinance No. 13, 2015 (the “Prior Franchise”), which was previously assigned to Grantee. Upon the Effective Date, the Prior Franchise shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as an extension or renewal of the Prior Franchise, even if the Prior Franchise expires by its own terms prior to the Effective Date. 3. FrancHiSe FeeS Or TaXeS In exchange for the franchise granted herein, Grantee shall collect from all customers, but not from the City of Delta, located within the corporate limits of Grantor and pay to Grantor an amount equal to $0.0282 per therm of gas delivered within the present or future limits of Grantor. The amount paid by Grantee shall be in lieu of, and Grantee shall be exempt from, all other fees, charges, taxes or assessments which the Grantor may impose for the privilege of doing business within the present or future corporate limits of Grantor, including, without limitation, excise taxes, occupation taxes, licensing fees, or right-of-way permit fees, and in the event the Grantor imposes any such fee, charge, tax or assessment, the payment to be made by Grantee in accordance with this section shall be reduced in an amount equal to any such fee, charge, tax or assessment imposed upon the Grantee. Ad valorem property taxes imposed generally upon all real and personal property within the present or future corporate limits of Grantor shall not be deemed to affect Grantee’s obligations under this section. Grantee shall list the franchise fee collected from customers as a separate item on bills for utility service issued to its customers. If at any time the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”) or other authority having proper jurisdiction prohibits such recovery, then Grantee will no longer be obligated to collect and pay the franchise fee, but if collection of the franchise fee is prohibited for more than a six-month consecutive period, then Grantor shall have the right to terminate this franchise by written notice to Grantee without any obligation to purchase Grantee’s property, unless Grantee agrees to pay an annual amount to the City equal to the amount of franchise fees collected during the calendar year preceding the prohibition, which amount shall be increased annually thereafter based on the Consumer Price Index (all items, Denver/Boulder). Any customer refunds ordered by the Commission or other authority due to an unlawful or prohibited collection of the franchise fee collected by Grantee and remitted to Grantor shall be refunded by Grantor. Within ten (10) days of the date of this ordinance, Grantor shall provide Grantee with a map of its corporate limits (the “Map”). The Map shall be of sufficient detail to assist Grantee in determining whether their customers reside within Grantor’s corporate limits. The Map along with Grantee’s Geographic Information System (“GIS”) mapping information shall serve as the basis for determining Grantee’s obligation hereunder to collect and pay the franchise fee from customers; provided, however, that if the Grantor’s corporate limits are changed by annexation or otherwise, it shall be the Grantor’s sole responsibility to (a) update the Map so that the changes are included therein, and (b) provide the updated Map to the Grantee. Grantee’s obligation to collect and pay the franchise fee from customers within an annexed area shall not commence until the later: (a) of sixty (60) days after Grantee’s receipt from the Grantor of an updated Map including the annexed area, or (b) after Grantee’s receipt from the Grantor of an updated Map including the annexed area as is reasonably necessary for Grantee to identify the customers in the annexed area obligated to pay the franchise fee; provided, further that neither party shall have the obligation to correct a mistake, including but not limited to collection of the fee by Grantee from its customers or remittance of that fee by Grantee to Grantor, that is discovered more than one (1) year after the occurrence thereof. In addition, Grantee shall not be liable for paying franchise fees from or to any customer originally or subsequently identified, or incorrectly identified, by Grantor or by Grantee, as being subject to the franchise fee or being subject to a different level of franchise fees or being exempt from the imposition of franchise fees. Grantor shall have access to and the right to examine, during normal business hours, such of Grantee’s books, receipts, files, records and documents as is necessary to ver-

ify the accuracy of payments due hereunder. If it is determined that a mistake was made in the payment of any franchise fee required hereunder, the mistake shall be corrected promptly upon discovery such that any under-payment by Grantee shall be paid within thirty (30) days of recalculation of the amount due, and any over-payment by Grantee shall be deducted from the next payment of such franchise fee due by Grantee to Grantor. Five (5) years from the date of enactment of this Ordinance, and every five years thereafter until the end of the term as defined herein, Grantor may review the percent of gross receipts payable to Grantor pursuant to this Ordinance. Grantor shall notify Grantee in writing, no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days before each five (5) year anniversary of the Effective Date if it desires to amend the percent of gross receipts collected from Grantee’s customers and payable to Grantor. Grantee shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such a request and shall utilize its best efforts to secure approval of the PUC. 4. GOVerninG rULeS and reGULaTiOnS The franchise granted hereunder is subject to all conditions, limitations and immunities now provided for, or as hereafter amended, and applicable to the operations of a public utility, by state or federal law. The rates to be charged by Grantee for service within the present or future corporate limits of Grantor and the rules and regulations regarding the character, quality and standards of service to be furnished by Grantee, shall be under the jurisdiction and control of such regulatory body or bodies as may, from time to time, be vested by law with authority and jurisdiction over the rates, regulations and quality and standards of service to be supplied by Grantee. Provided however, should any judicial, regulatory or legislative body having proper jurisdiction take any action that precludes Grantee from recovering from its customers any cost associated with services provided hereunder, then Grantee and Grantor shall renegotiate the terms of this Ordinance in accordance with the action taken. In determining the rights and duties of the Grantee, the terms of this Ordinance shall take precedence over any conflicting terms or requirements contained in any other ordinance enacted by the Grantor, but in the event of any conflict between this Ordinance and the Delta City Charter, the Charter shall control. 5. PrOViSiOn FOr inadeQUaTe enerGY SUPPLieS If an energy supplier is unable to furnish an adequate supply of energy due to an emergency, an order or decision of a public regulatory body, or other acts beyond the control of the Grantee, then the Grantee shall have the right and authority to adopt reasonable rules and regulations limiting, curtailing or allocating extensions of service or supply of energy to any customers or prospective customers, and withholding the supply of energy to new customers, provided that such rules and regulations shall be uniform as applied to each class of customers or prospective customers, and shall be non-discriminatory as between communities receiving service from the Grantee. 6. cOnSTrUcTiOn and MainTenance OF GranTee’S FaciLiTieS Any pavements, sidewalks or curbing taken up and any and all excavations made shall be done in such a manner as to cause only such inconvenience to the inhabitants of Grantor and the general public as is reasonably necessary, and repairs and replacements shall be made promptly by Grantee, leaving such properties in as good as condition as existed immediately prior to excavation. Grantee agrees that for the term of this franchise, it will use its best efforts to maintain its facilities and equipment in a condition sufficient to meet the current and future energy requirements of Grantor, its inhabitants and industries. While maintaining its facilities and equipment, Grantee shall obtain permits as required by ordinance and will fix its excavations within a commercially reasonable time period, except that in emergency situations Grantee shall take such immediate unilateral actions as it determines are necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; in which case, Grantee shall notify Grantor as soon as reasonably possible. Within a reasonable time thereafter, Grantee shall request and Grantor shall issue any permits or authorizations required by Grantor for the actions conducted by Grantee during the emergency situation. Grantor will give Grantee reasonable notice of plans for street improvements where paving or resurfacing of a permanent nature is involved that affects Grantee’s facilities. The notice shall contain the nature and character of the improvements, the rights-of-way upon which the improvements are to be made, the extent of the improvements, and the time when the Grantor will start the work, and, if more than one right-of-way is involved, the order in which the work is to proceed. The notice shall be given to the Grantee as soon as practical in advance of the actual commencement of the work, considering seasonable working conditions, to permit the Grantee to make any additions, alterations, or repairs to its facilities. Grantee shall comply with the provisions of C.R.S. § 9-1.5-101, et seq., as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and Grantee shall be deemed the “project owner” for purposes of said statute. 7. eXTenSiOn OF GranTee’S FaciLiTieS Upon receipt and acceptance of a valid application for service, Grantee shall, subject to its own economic feasibility criteria as approved by the PUC make reasonable extensions of its distribution facilities to serve customers located within the current or future corporate limits of Grantor. 8. reLOcaTiOn OF GranTee’S FaciLiTieS If Grantor elects to change the grade of or otherwise alter any street, alley, avenue, bridge, public right-of-way or public place for a public purpose, unless otherwise reimbursed by federal, state or local legislative act or governmental agency, Grantee, upon reasonable notice from Grantor, shall remove and relocate its facilities or equipment situated in the public rights-of-way, at the cost and expense of Grantee, if such removal is necessary to prevent interference. If Grantor or Grantee determines that Grantee’s facilities or equipment is intentionally or unintentionally disrupting Grantor facilities or equipment, including but not limited to, boring Grantee facilities or equipment through Grantor facilities or equipment, then Grantee will remove its facilities or equipment from the Grantor’s facilities or equipment and repair or replace with like material(s) Grantor’s damaged facilities or equipment at Grantee’s expense. If Grantor orders or requests Grantee to relocate its facilities or equipment for the primary benefit of a commercial or private project, or as a result of the initial request of a commercial or private developer or other non-public entity, and such removal is necessary to prevent interference, then Grantee shall receive payment from the private developer or other non-public entity for the cost of such relocation as a precondition

Public Notices to relocating its facilities or equipment. Grantor shall consider reasonable alternatives in designing its public works projects and exercising its authority under this section so as not to arbitrarily cause Grantee unreasonable additional expense. If alternative public right-of-way space is available, Grantor shall also provide a reasonable alternative location for Grantee’s facilities. Grantor shall give Grantee written notice of an order or request to vacate a public right-of-way; provided, however, that its receipt of such notice shall not deprive Grantee of its right to operate and maintain its existing facilities in such public right-of way until it (a) if applicable, receives the reasonable cost of relocating the same and (b) obtains a reasonable public right-of-way, dedicated utility easement, or private easement alternative location for such facilities. 9. cOnFidenTiaL inFOrMaTiOn Grantor acknowledges that certain information it might request from Grantee pursuant to this Ordinance may be of a proprietary and confidential nature, and that such requests may be subject to the Homeland Security Act or other confidentiality protections under state or federal law. If Grantee requests that any information provided by Grantee to Grantor be kept confidential due to its proprietary or commercial value, Grantor and its employees, agents and representatives shall maintain the confidentiality of such information, to the extent allowed by law. If Grantor is requested or required by legal or administrative process to disclose any such proprietary or confidential information, Grantor shall promptly notify Grantee of such request or requirement so that Grantee may seek an appropriate protective order or other relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee acknowledges that Grantor is a public entity subject to the Colorado Sunshine Act of 1972, C.R.S. § 24-6-101, et seq. and the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. § 24-72-101, et seq., and nothing herein shall be construed to require Grantor to violate any such statutes. 10. FOrce MaJeUre It shall not be a breach or default under this Ordinance if either party fails to perform its obligations hereunder due to force majeure. Force majeure shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 1) physical events such as acts of God, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, freezing, storms, floods, washouts, explosions, breakage or accident or necessity of repairs to machinery, equipment or distribution or transmission lines; 2) acts of others such as strikes, work-force stoppages, riots, sabotage, insurrections or wars; 3) governmental actions such as necessity for compliance with any court order, law, statute, ordinance, executive order, or regulation promulgated by a governmental authority having jurisdiction; and (4) any other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise not reasonably within the control of the affected party to prevent or overcome. Each party shall make reasonable efforts to avoid force majeure and to resolve such event as promptly as reasonably possible once it occurs in order to resume performance of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that this provision shall not obligate a party to settle any labor strike. 11. indeMniFicaTiOn, inSUrance, BOndS a. The Grantee shall maintain its structures, apparatus, mains, pipes and other equipment and facilities as to afford all reasonable protection against injury or damage to persons or property. b. General Indemnification. The Grantee agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless, and defend the Grantor, its officers, elected or appointed officials, employees, agents, boards and employees, from any action or claim for injury, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense, including court and appeal costs and attorneys’ and expert witness fees and expenses, arising from any casualty, accident, injury or loss to person or property, including, without limitation, copyright infringement and defamation, and all other damages in any way arising out of, or by reason of, any construction, excavation, operation, maintenance, reconstruction of the natural gas delivery systems or any act done under or in connection with this Ordinance by or for the Grantee its agents or its employees by reason of any negligence or other fault of the Grantee. c. Insurance. The Grantee shall save the Grantor harmless from all liability or damage and all reasonable expenses necessarily accruing against the Grantor arising out of the negligent exercise by the Grantee of the rights and privileges hereby granted; and for this purpose the Grantee shall procure and maintain the minimum insurance coverages listed below. Such coverages shall be procured and maintained with forms and insurers acceptable to the Grantor. All coverages shall be continuously maintained to cover all liability, claims, demands, and other obligations assumed by the Grantee pursuant to this Ordinance. In the case of any claims-made policy, the necessary retroactive dates and extended reporting periods shall be procured to maintain such continuous coverage: i. Worker’s Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by applicable laws for any employee engaged in the performance of work under this franchise, and Employers’ liability coverage with minimum limits of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) each accident, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) disease policy limit, and FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) disease - each employee. Evidence of qualified self-insured status may be substituted for the Worker’s Compensation requirements stated herein. ii. Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) each occurrence and TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) aggregate. The policy shall be applicable to all premises and operations. The policy shall include coverage for bodily injury, broad form property damage (including completed operations), personal injury (including coverage for contractual and employee acts), blanket contractual, products, and completed operations. The policy shall include coverage for explosion, collapse, and underground hazards. The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision. iii. Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance with minimum combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) each occurrence and TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) aggregate with respect to each of Grantee’s owned, hired and non-owned vehicles assigned to or used in performance of the services provided in accordance with this franchise. The policy shall contain a severability of interests provision. If the Grantee has no owned automobiles, the requirements as set forth herein shall be met by each employee of the Grantee providing services to the Grantor under this franchise. The policies required above, except for Worker’s Compensation, shall be endorsed to include the Grantor and Grantor’s officers and

employees as additional insureds. Every policy required above shall be primary insurance and any insurance carried by the Grantor, its officers, or its employees, or carried by or provided through any insurance pool of the Grantor, shall be excess and not contributory insurance to that provided by Grantee. No additional insured endorsement to any policy shall contain any exclusion for bodily injury or property damage arising from completed operations. The Grantee shall be solely responsible for any deductible losses under any policy required above. Grantee, upon request, shall furnish a certificate of insurance to the Grantor for said insurance. The parties hereto understand and agree that the Grantor is relying on, and does not waive or intend to waive by any provision of this franchise, the monetary limitations (presently $350,000 per person and $990,000 per occurrence) or any other rights, immunities, and protections provided by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, 2410-101 et seq., as from time to time amended. d The obligation of this Section 5 shall not extend to any liability or damage and all reasonable expenses accruing against the Grantee arising out of the negligence, recklessness, or specific intent of the Grantor, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors. e. Bonds or Other Surety. Except as expressly provided herein, the Grantee shall not be required to obtain or maintain bonds or other surety as a condition of being awarded the franchise or continuing its existence. The Grantor acknowledges that the legal, financial, and technical qualifications of the Grantee are currently sufficient to afford compliance with the terms of the franchise and the enforcement thereof. The Grantee and the Grantor recognize that the costs associated with bonds and other surety may ultimately be borne by the subscribers in the form of increased rates for natural gas delivery systems. In order to minimize such costs, the Grantor agrees to require bonds and other surety only in such amounts and during such times as there is a reasonably demonstrated need therefore. Initially, no bond or other surety will be required. In the event that one is required in the future, the Grantor agrees to give the Grantee at least sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof stating the reason for the requirement. Such reason must demonstrate a change in technical, legal or financial qualifications which would materially prohibit or impair Grantee’s ability to comply with the terms of the franchise or afford compliance therewith, or may be based upon the Grantee’s demonstrated failure to comply with the terms of this franchise in a timely manner. f. Grantee hereby waives any claim for damages to its property within streets, alleys and gas easements against the Grantor, its officers and employees, except for damages caused by the negligence, recklessness, or the specific intent of the Grantor, elected or appointed officials, its officers, agents, boards or its employees. 12. TerMinaTiOn Grantor shall have the right to terminate this franchise before the end of the Term by providing at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Grantee, subject to the condition that Grantor agrees to purchase the personal property of Grantee located within Grantor’s easements and rights of way, subject to Colorado law. In such event, the purchase price for the property to be acquired by Grantor shall exclude all value of the grant or renewal of this franchise. 13. SUcceSSOrS and aSSiGnS All rights, privileges and authority granted to Grantee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Grantee’s lessees, successors and assigns, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions herein contained, and all obligations imposed upon Grantee hereunder shall be binding upon Grantee’s lessees, successors and assigns. 14. FOrFeiTUreGrantor reserves the right to declare a forfeiture of this franchise for the breach of a substantial and material provision thereof. In the event that the Grantor believes that the Grantee has not complied with any term of the franchise, it shall notify the Grantee in writing in reasonable detail of the nature of the alleged noncompliance. No forfeiture shall be declared until the Grantee shall have had an opportunity to be heard and to correct the alleged breach. Upon failure of the Grantee to exercise reasonable diligence to correct such condition, or to demonstrate that remedying the breach is legally proscribed, the Grantor may declare this franchise forfeited and notify Grantee in writing. In the event that this franchise is forfeited, then the Grantee agrees to continue to render service as theretofore for a period of six (6) months to give the Grantor time to decide upon its course of action. 15. nO THird ParTY BeneFiciarieS This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement between the Grantor and Grantee. No provision of this Ordinance shall inure to the benefit of any third person, including the public at large, so as to constitute any such person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action for any person not a party hereto. 16. SeVeraBiLiTY If any clause, sentence or section of this Ordinance is deemed invalid by any judicial, regulatory or legislative body having proper jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected. 17. nOn WaiVer Any waiver of any obligation or default under this Ordinance shall not be construed as a waiver of any future defaults, whether of like or different character. 18. rePeaL cOnFLicTinG OrdinanceS This Ordinance, when accepted by Grantee as provided below, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Grantor and the Grantee relating to the franchise granted by Grantor hereunder, and the same shall supersede all prior ordinances relating thereto, and any terms and conditions of such prior ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. Ordinance No. 24-1999 of the City of Delta, Colorado, as amended by Ordinance No. 13-2005, is hereby repealed as of the Effective Date hereof. In the event that the voters of the City of Delta fail to approve this Ordinance as required by the Delta City Charter, then Ordinance 24-1999, as amended, shall remain in effect until it expires by its own terms on February 8, 2020. 19. eFFecT and inTerPreTaTiOn OF Ordinance The captions that precede each section of this Ordinance are for convenience and/or reference only and shall not be taken into consideration in the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Ordinance. 20. accePTance Upon final passage and approval of this Ordinance by Grantor and by the voters of the City of Delta, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Grantee shall file its acceptance by written instrument, within sixty (60) days of approval by the voters as required by the Delta City Charter, with the Clerk of the

City of Delta, Colorado. The Clerk of the City of Delta, Colorado shall sign and affix the community seal to acknowledge receipt of such acceptance, and return one copy to Grantee.

Attention to detail Photo by Pat Sunderland

The label for the Sweepstakes Blue Ribbon, “the apple that made Delta County famous,” again anchors the lower portion of the mural on the north wall of Davis Clothing after it was heavily damaged in a 2016 car crash.

Photo by Pat Sunderland

As a senior at Delta High School, Lane Sanders created this mural on an exterior wall of the Delta Middle School gym.

By PAT SUNDERLAND Special to the DCI

Lane Sanders’ attention to detail is evident in every piece of art he’s created, whether it’s been done in pencil, colored pencil, pens or acrylics. This attention to detail most recently made him the perfect candidate to repair the mural on the north wall of Davis Clothing. Arguably one of the most photographed murals in Delta, it was created by Connie Williams in 1988 to showcase many of the labels used to market the fruit grown in Delta County. The mural — and many that followed — were funded by the City of Delta. On Thanksgiving Day 2016, a Grand Junction woman, while under the influ-

ence of alcohol, drove her RV through the 4th Street wall of Davis Clothing. The lower right portion of the mural was demolished. “It looked like a bomb had gone off,” store owner Brad Davis was reported to say as he surveyed the gaping hole in the side of his building. With the help of friends, Davis was able to repair the wall, but a lack of funds delayed the repair of the mural until this summer. Connie Williams provided copies of the original labels, which she had enlarged and projected onto the side of the building. The biggest challenge, Sanders said, was trying to match the fresh enamel paint with colors that had been exposed to the elements for the past 31 years.

In addition to replacing the label for “the apple that made Delta County famous,” the Sweepstakes Blue Ribbon, he did some repair work to the label above, faithfully replicating the damaged wording for Indian Rock peaches. As with many painting projects, a lot of prep work was involved. Cleaning, priming, painting and clear coating took about two weeks, he estimates. Family members helped set up and take down the scaffolding needed to reach the upper portion of the mural. The project took longer than originally anticipated, but Lane says it was a lot of fun to restore one of Delta’s classic murals. He has also left his mark on the exterior of the gym at Delta Middle School, where a mural of a panther dominates the brick wall. Lane completed this mural as a senior at Delta High School, shortly after he painted a mural of Albert Einstein on an interior wall at Delta High School. While a student at DHS, he was able to experiment with media he’d never tried before, and to learn a variety of techniques from art teacher Roger Hutchison. Lane graduated from DHS in 2015 and is now a student at Colorado Mesa University majoring in mechanical engineering through a partnership with the University of Colorado. Despite his strenuous coursework, art remains an avid interest. “Whenever I get the chance, I like to try different medias,” he says. “Lately I’ve been doing a lot of portraits with pencils and colored pencils.”

Time lapse footage of his creative process can be found on his YouTube channel, “Lane Sanders Art.” “I film myself drawing, then I make the music for the videos using Garage Band.” He also uses Blender, a 3D creation suite for animation, a computer-aided design and engineering program known as SolidWorks, and iMovie to polish his videos before downloading to YouTube. His art can also be viewed on his website, https://lanesanders art.wixsite.com/mysite, and is posted to Facebook and Instagram. When he graduates next spring, Lane says he would love to find a job that combines his engineering degree with his creativity. “I always

wanted to be a Disney Imagineer,” he says. “It would be great to get an internship there.” According to the Disney Imaginations website, the name “imagineering” comes from combining imagination with engineering. Walt Disney Imagineering is the creative force that dreams up, designs and builds Disney-themed parks, resorts and attractions. Lane remembers drawing stick figure dinosaurs as a kid; now he’s got the artistic skill and the technological know-how to turn those stick figures into animated characters for a fantasy of his own making. That sounds just like the kind of innovation and creativity Disney would love to tap into.
