Dr. Sam Jahani, D.O., who has a practice in Delta and clinics in Montrose and Grand Junction, has signed an agreement with the Colorado State Board of Medical Examiners placing restrictions on his medical license that prohibit his prescribing and dispensing prescription medications. Agreement on the restrictions came Dec. 16. The agreement is an interim arrangement between Jahani and a special Inquiry Panel of the Board which is examining a case that “raised concerns that (Jahani) may not be able to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to patients.” The agreement, called an Interim Practice Agreement, “stays potential summary suspension proceedings while the panel further reviews (Jahani’s) ability to practice medicine safely,” according to the text of the agreement made available by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. The agreement places the following restrictions on Jahani’s practice: • It prohibits his administration,

Delta man accused of impersonating CIA agent Daniel Rodriguez, 23, of Delta has been charged with impersonation of a peace officer after he twice identified himself as an agent with the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA. On Dec. 16, the Delta Police Department reports that Rodriguez allegedly went to Blake Field, identified himself as an agent with the CIA, and inquired about a package he was supposed to pick up. There was no such package being held in storage, and the police were notified of the suspicious request. On Dec. 29, he reportedly tried to commandeer a patrol officer’s vehicle so he could pick up drugs from a storage unit. Again, he identified himself as a CIA agent. The CIA was contacted and denied that Rodriguez was an agent, either currently or in the past. A warrant for his arrest was issued and Rodriguez was jailed the same day.

Delta County Undersheriff Mark Taylor is the first law enforcement officer in Delta County to attend the FBI National Academy, recognized nationally and internationally as the most prestigious training academy offered to law enforcement executives. Only about 1 percent of all active law enforcement officers are graduates of the National Academy.

Tips sought on graffiti found throughout Delta On Nov. 29 and 30 officers of the Delta Police Department took numerous reports of criminal mischief. Multiple businesses, two churches, Cleland Park and a privately owned residential building were “tagged” with graffiti. Nine locations in total were found to have same or similar “paintings.” Throughout the following days several more reports came in of a similar nature. Multiple locations all over town were tagged with the letters “KSU” “AHH” and “Asset” in various colors including blue, green, black, brown and white spray paints. In a few locations “Asset” had some variations to include “Aset” and “Asett.” Officers of the Delta Police Department followed up on several leads, however no suspect developed in this case. Due to the extensive costs involved in removing the graffiti the Delta Police Department is asking the public for assistance in finding the person or persons responsible for this damage. If you have information about this crime or any other crime and this information leads to arrests or convictions, Crime Stoppers may reward you up to $1,000. Your anonymity is guaranteed. Phone calls are not recorded, and caller ID is not used. Call Crime Stoppers any time at 874-8810.

First baby of the decade Kirsten Lynn Pera’s birth was expected the last few days of 2009, but she kept her parents, David Pera and Heather Clark of Delta, in suspense by delaying her arrival until 6:20 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 3, 2010.

possession, dispensing, prescription, or other authorization of prescriptions for any controlled substance as defined by Colorado law. • It places the same restrictions on Jahani’s use of any third-party “including but not limited to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or other physicians” in providing prescription medications to patients. • Jahani is not allowed to serve “as preceptor, mentor, and/or supervising physician for a nurse practitioner or physician assistant in any case in which the physician or nurse practitioner administers, dispenses, prescribes, or otherwise authorizes prescriptions for any controlled substance” as defined by Colorado law. Terms of the agreement were reached by negotiations between Jahani and the Inquiry Panel. The agreement is to remain in effect until a final disposition is reached in the case, “or in the event additional summary suspension proceedings are initiated, until such time as an order for summary suspension enters.” The agreement states that it is not a finding of wrongdoing against Jahani, that is not to be considered

“This was a great opportunity for Mark and the sheriff’s office to achieve our goal of providing highly trained, competent staff to serve Delta County,” Sheriff Fred McKee said. “As Mark shares the ideas and information that he has acquired at the academy our office will be improved thereby providing a sheriff’s office that is equipped to succeed today and meet the challenges of tomorrow.” Taylor has been with the sheriff’s department for nearly 20 years. He was hired as a patrol deputy by Sheriff Bill Blair shortly after he graduated from the law enforcement academy in 1989. Taylor was named undersheriff in 2003. He has been assigned to the Delta-Montrose Drug Task Force and currently serves on the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. The application, background check and interview process to gain admittance to the National Academy took nearly a year to complete. After 11 weeks of academic and physical training, Taylor graduated from the National Academy on Dec. 11. The 239th session consisted of 266 law enforcement leaders from 49 states and 27 countries. The National Academy is held at the FBI training facility in Quantico,

Va. The advanced training is offered by FBI instructional staff, special agents and other staff members holding advanced degrees, many of whom are recognized internationally in their field of expertise. Courses covered labor laws, interpersonal communication for the law enforcement executive, conflict resolution, public speaking, stress management and fitness. Seminars addressed the topics of ethics and leadership. “I’m truly humbled for the chance of a lifetime, to be able to spend 11 weeks with some of the most professional, knowledgeable, and courageous law enforcement personnel, not only in this country but in the world,” Taylor said. “I met some people I will be friends with the rest of my life and know that they are a phone call away if I need anything.” Taylor plans to become involved in the National Academy Associates, an organization of more than 17,000 law enforcement professionals who have graduated from the National Academy and who actively work to develop higher levels of competency, cooperation and integrity across the law enforcement community. Many participating officers came

from much larger municipalities, but Taylor also met several from smaller agencies. He noted commonalities among all those agencies, even those with several thousand officers. “When you broke those large agencies down to departments or squads, they were struggling with the same issues. “The one thing I did hear time and time again was the difficulties that some sheriffs and chiefs have with their city managers or county commissioners. I was always able to say with pride that in Delta County all county departments and municipalities work well together. It has been my observations that it’s okay to ‘agree to disagree’ and get the job done.” Across the country, Taylor said, law enforcement agencies are trying to do more with less. Budgets may decline, but citizens still expect law enforcement to provide the same level of service. Many agencies also experience difficulty recruiting and retaining quality officers. In Delta County, Taylor said it’s hard to compete for those quality officers when the pay is higher in surrounding areas. “However, I believe we have the finest bunch of professional people

working in law enforcement today right here at the sheriff’s office.” Rather than coming back with new programs or techniques, Taylor said he hopes to inspire the department’s officers to challenge themselves both professionally and personally. “I found out by attending the academy that a 48-year-old fat guy who sits behind a desk for 10 to 12 hours a day can actually run six miles if he puts his mind to it. I also realized that a 48-year-old man who has not been in a structured classroom for 30 years can pass undergraduate courses if he puts his mind to it. So I would like to see everyone in my office and my community challenge themselves. You might be surprised of what you can do. “But I must give the credit where credit is due — my family was probably impacted the most during my absence,” Taylor noted. “My wife Shawna was thrust into the role of both mother and father to our two kids, Dylon, 16, and Brooke, 14. I am extremely proud of my kids and how they stepped up and were able to help their mother out while I was away. I certainly would not have been able to succeed without the support See Taylor, Page 3A

Dog-dragging incident tied to theft of the animal in Delta By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

A senseless act of animal cruelty in Mesa County has been tied to the theft of two dogs from the back of a pickup in Delta last week. One of those dogs, “Buddy,” a catahaula hound and Australian cattle dog mix, was killed in the Colorado National Monument Dec. 30. Steven Romero, 37, is suspected of tying a rope to Buddy’s neck and dragging the dog to his death behind his vehicle. Romero is being held without bond at Mesa County Jail. His sister, Melissa Lockhart, has been charged with stealing Buddy and another dog from the parking area behind C&J’s Café, where the dogs’ owner, Joseph Leber of Hotchkiss, was having lunch on Dec. 29. Delta Police Department spokesman Jamie Head said an eyewitness saw the dogs in the back of the pickup. Later a couple of kids were

spotted playing with the dogs in the parking area. When the eyewitness observed the dogs in a station wagon, she was suspicious enough to note the license plate number of the vehicle. She spoke with Leber when he returned to his pickup and provided him with the license plate number of the station wagon, which he later passed along to DPD investigators. The license plate number was traced to Melissa Lockhart, and an arrest warrant alleging theft and false reporting to authorities was issued. After the dog’s death commanded headlines in the Grand Junction newspapers, Lockhart turned herself in at the Mesa County Sheriff’s Department. Head, who formerly served as the city’s animal control officer, said Buddy was adopted from the city impound facility. She recalls his unusual coat and his “beautiful blue eyes.” The other dog was recovered and

has been returned in healthy condition to the Lebers. Lockhart reportedly told officers her kids had found the dogs in an abandoned house. “There are no abandoned homes in that area,” Head observed. A Facebook page titled “Justice for Buddy” has been “friended” by over 25,000 animal lovers from across the country who have been outraged by Buddy’s cruel death and want to see Romero convicted and sentenced to the maximum allowed under law. Romero is charged with aggravated cruelty towards an animal. If convicted, the penalty is not more than three years in federal prison, and up to a $100,000 fine, and one year of mandatory parole. The case was investigated by the National Park Service law enforcement rangers, who were assisted by the Mesa County Sheriff’s Department, and the Grand Junction, Fruita and Delta police departments.

Horse lovers help breathe new life into arena By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

An advisory council established in response to the threatened closure of Horse Country Arena reports several steps have already been taken to revitalize the city-owned facility. Shortly after budget discussions began last fall, a notice of closure was posted at the facility, advising users that the arena would be closed on Jan. 1. That move rallied horse lovers who believe the 20-year-old facility could become a “significant economic engine,” if it was properly maintained and promoted. They responded by forming an advisory council which they hope can partner with the city to keep the facility open. City council members agreed to try their approach. “A year from now we’ll sit down and see where we’re at,” Mayor Mary Cooper said at the Sept. 15 city council meeting during which it was announced the arena would remain open one more year.

The Horse Country Arena Advisory Council went into that meeting with a detailed proposal which outlined the history of the arena and the steps it would undertake to save the “valuable community treasure.” They followed up with a letter which assigned specific responsibilities to the city and to the council. During a work session with city council in December, they reported that many of the tasks have already been fulfilled. Serving as the group’s spokesman, Jami Taylor, a member of the Horse Country Arena advisory council, said a top priority was removing the debris which had been deposited at the facility. “There’s been huge progress made,” she reported. “We’re really excited for the work the parks department men have done helping us getting those safety hazards removed.” Lighting has been improved, the ground has been brought up to grade at the wash rack, and a number of dead trees have been removed to make the site more attractive. The county has supplied road base which can be used by horse owners to level out the surface of the stalls they rent for their horses. Sixteen of the 18 stalls are currently rented, Taylor told city council. The advisory council also asked for a chemical toilet to be installed near the barn, to be used during the winter months when the restrooms are closed. After obtaining cost estimates, it was determined that’s a request that can’t be met with the amount currently budgeted for arena maintenance. A request for more visible signage can easily be remedied by moving the sign on the side of the announcer’s booth to the entrance to the arena. “If everybody knows the rules it will be a safer facility for everyone,” Taylor said. The advisory council also requested that the concession stand be made available for use or rental by groups or clubs.

Beck’s attorney withdraws; trial will likely be postponed By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

A change in attorneys will likely cause a delay in the trial of Daven Beck, originally scheduled for Feb. 9-24. Judge Charles Greenacre granted defense attorney Colleen Scissors’ motion to withdraw at a hearing Monday, Jan. 4, in district court. Beck, 21, is charged with murder in the first degree and child abuse resulting in death following the death of his fivemonth-old daughter Cady, who died of blunt trauma to the head and neck on Dec. 22, 2008. Scissors said she’s put a lot of time into preparation for the trial, and the case is ready to be reviewed by expert witnesses,

That’s simply a matter of cleaning out parks supplies which have been stored inside the concession stand, parks supervisor Paul Suppes said. The biggest issue — and likely the most costly — involves the surface of the arena itself. “Hopefully we can work together to find ways to decrease the labor and maintenance costs over the long run,” Taylor said. The key is having the right mix of organic material in the arena. Advisory council member Chris Miller said when the arena was originally built, two and a half feet of dirt were removed from the arena surface. That dirt was replaced with a foot of sand, a foot of woodchips and two inches of topsoil. Those organic materials have since broken down and should be replaced, she said. Otherwise, hours of grooming are for “naught” because there are no organic materials to keep the arena surface “fluffed up.” The proper organic mix should be accompanied by a maintenance program which optimizes footing for the horses, Miller added. There’s a possibility the wood chips could be donated, Taylor said, adding that the arena only needs to be groomed from April to October. There are also several panels enclosing the arena which should be replaced or repaired. Mayor Cooper said she’d taken a look at the panels and believes a welder could easily make the repairs. It’s also been suggested that those panels could be replaced with panels from unused areas of the arena. “It would be labor intensive to switch those panels out,” Cooper observed. The advisory council has committed to organizing an open house and clean-up day utilizing 4-H, FFA and other community members as volunteers. They’ve proposed a number of events, including schooling shows, a charro rodeo in conjunction with Cinco de Mayo, and barrel races for three different organizations.

but there’s simply no money to pay for the out-of-state pediatric surgeon and pediatric neuroradiologist Scissors has in mind. She also planned to call an independent pathologist as an expert witness. Even before those witnesses are called to the stand, they’ll have to spend hours poring through extensive medical files at about $100 an hour. “The trial will hinge on those experts,” Scissors told Judge Greenacre. Family fund-raising efforts have fallen short and Beck, a miner/mechanic, has not been able to obtain steady employment since his arrest. Scissors cited legal precedence in which the state has picked up the cost of expert witnesses, particularly when a case is “so far along” it makes no sense to switch attorneys. Under that scenario, Judge Greenacre pointed out, limitations are placed on payment which the expert witnesses may expect for their services. He granted Scissors’ motion to withdraw and appointed public defender Diane Allen to take over the case. The matter was continued until Jan. 25, when it’s anticipated Allen will ask the judge to postpone the trial to give her time to prepare for an adequate defense.

“We’ve received some commitment from these folks, but they want to see the arena surface improved first before they’re willing to bring events to our facility,” Taylor said. “That’s where we all have to work together.” They’d also like to reinstate the Wonderful World of Horses, a pageant promoting all things equine, plan a Deltarado Days event, and host a celebration recognizing the 20th anniversary of the Horse Country Arena. During discussions with the city last fall, the advisory council had proposed a membership fee structure to help cover maintenance costs of the arena. Since then, Taylor said, they’ve realized there would be a number of logistical challenges in trying to collect fees and police the users. Membership fees will be established only if absolutely necessary. Instead, they’d like to facilitate use of the facility by creating a user friendly procedure for renting the stalls and the arena. While that responsibility lies with rec center staff, Taylor said advisory council members could be available to provide information about the arena surface, facilities and other questions which might be specific to the arena. A calendar of events, posted on both the city and chamber websites, would also be a useful tool, Taylor said. The advisory council would like to create promotional brochures, flyers and other marketing material. In the past, funding has been available through Region 10 for tourism and marketing. The advisory council also plans to pursue grants and hold fund-raising activities. “We’ve got a gung-ho committee that really wants to go forth, raise awareness about the arena, and do a lot of fund-raising to get capital improvements, but we need to make sure we’re on the same page,” Taylor said.

a disciplinary action, and that it makes no final determination as to Jahani’s professional conduct or competency. Last Oct. 14, Jahani’s Delta office, his two clinics, and his home in Montrose were the subject of searches by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration under warrants issued by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Grand Junction. Patient records were seized as part of “an ongoing investigation,” according to the DEA. In that raid, patient records of Jahani associate Dr. Eric Peper were also seized, according to the DEA. A call to Jahani’s Delta office Tuesday seeking comment was answered by a recording instructing patients needing prescription refills to call their pharmacy and to be prepared to wait 72 hours for an authorization. The call was not returned.

DOLA reps to tour truck route Jan. 12 Citizens for A Safer Downtown, a group of area residents and city staff formed in support of Confluence Drive, encourage area residents to be on hand at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, when DOLA representatives gather at the rec center for a tour of the alternate truck route. The city is requesting an energy impact grant from DOLA to offset the cost of the $26.8 million project. The tour will be followed by a formal presentation to DOLA’s executive board on Feb. 1. A decision is expected to be announced Feb. 8.

The Delta Police Department has asked the Colorado State Patrol to assist with the investigation into an auto-pedestrian accident that killed Ariel Davis, 16. Davis was walking near 1714 H Road at about 10 p.m. Dec. 20 when she was struck by a vehicle traveling west on H Road. She was transported to Delta County Memorial Hospital and later airlifted to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, where she died on Dec. 21. DPD spokesman Jamie Head says the Colorado State Patrol has the technological equipment which is required for accident reconstruction. “Due to the complexity of the accident we want to make certain the investigation is thorough,” Head said.

“We understand that we have a year to prove up,” Taylor said. “We don’t have a problem with that, we just need to be able to move forward.” “The arena doesn’t have to show a profit, but we don’t want it to be a black hole,” Cooper

responded. At the conclusion of the work session, a number of questions remained unresolved. The biggest involves the relationship of the advisory council to the city, and whether it should pursue non-profit status on its own.

of my wife. “But as life would have it, I was dealt some tough blows during my absence. My wife’s grandmother passed away and I was not able to be with her during her time of grief. I also lost my father, a 30-plus-year law enforcement veteran who lost his battle with brain cancer. Although we all hoped and prayed he would be able to attend my graduation or at least hoped he would be able to live until I returned, I know he was there in spirit.” Taylor added, “About 15 years

ago my father was the one who told me if I ever had the chance to attend the National Academy I should take advantage of it. This was after he attended a six- or seven-week investigators course at the academy. So as you can imagine it made my graduation a bittersweet accomplishment. I truly wish he could have been there. “I also want to publicly acknowledge Sheriff McKee and the county commissioners for allowing me to attend the academy. Without their support I would not have had this opportunity.”

It’s not too late to protect yourself from the flu According to the Delta County Health Department, reports of flu are decreasing, but influenza is unpredictable just as the 2009 H1N1 has been. Flu activity may continue for several weeks and it’s possible that other waves of influenza may occur caused by 2009 H1N1 or regular seasonal flu viruses. Some previous pandemics have included a third wave. There remains a possibility of a third wave of the 2009 H1N1 influenza. At the same time vaccine supply is increasing, presenting us with a “window of opportunity.” This is the time to vaccinate people against the flu before any possible new wave of disease. Almost all of the influenza viruses identified so far continue to be 2009 H1N1 influenza A viruses. These viruses remain

Take appropriate prevention steps to protect your health: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcoholbased hand rub • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. If you are sick with flu-like illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine. 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Supplies of the vaccine to protect against the 2009 H1N1 virus are increasing and many places have opened up vaccination to anyone who wants it.

Why purchase Girl Scout cookies? Many people purchase Girl Scout Cookies for one obvious reason, because it is their favorite tasty treat! But did you know there are more reasons for purchasing packages of Girl Scout cookies than just the cookies themselves? When customers buy Girl Scout cookies, they not only support that Girl Scout and her troop but they also support local council activities. Through the cookie sale activity girls gain valuable skills that they will use all of their lives. In fact, since the first year of Girl Scout cookie sales more than 75 years ago, it has become a famous annual occurrence that has helped build Girl Scouts of courage, confidence and character and help them develop their own personal leadership skills and style. Girl Scouting has always been about developing tomorrow’s leaders. Today’s Girl Scouts learn to discover, connect and take action to make the world a better place. Girl Scouts can use the cookie sales to bring their service project ideas to life. Whether they are caring for their environment, promoting literacy or campaigning for social ideas, cookie sales can help girls discover more about their values and the world, connect with others when selling cookies and take action to make the world a better place with service projects funded by cookie proceeds. During the cookie sale Girl Scouts ages 5 to 18 learn

In addition to those famous five varieties, the Lemon Chalet Cremes and Dulce De Leche cookies are back this year too. All boxes are $3.25 a package with more than 70 percent of that directly benefiting local Girl Scouts. There are a couple of changes to the cookies this year, including a new design on the Dulce De Leche cookie. New this year, four of the varieties contain no hydrogenated oils. All cookies contain 0 grams trans fat per serving. Customers can also support heroes both near and far by making a purchase towards the Girl Scout Cookie Activity’s Gift of Caring/Hometown Heroes program.

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY December 31, 1909 (From the Delta County Independent) A happy New Year to everybody! And a prosperous one. To Delta county people it should be both. Our resources are so many and so varied that the failure of one or two products makes but a small amount of difference. Our people go right ahead making money. When one thing is a failure, which is rare, it is merely a matter of directing the energy required for that one thing to something else. The year just passed was an unusually prosperous one, for all crops were good and market prices high. While such favorable conditions cannot be looked for every season, there is no reason so far to believe that 1910 will not be another splendid producer. Again, a happy and prosperous New Year! *** J.L. Taylor of Denver, representing the Delta County Fruit Growers Association, last week sold to William Crosley of the commission and purveying firm of Crosley & Son of Liverpool, 25 car loads of the best of Delta county apples, the price paid being above $1,000 a car. These apples are to be shipped from Denver to England about January 1st, and London and other big English cities will have a chance to feast on the finest apples that grow. *** The Delta Apple Producing District’s vote for Apple Queen reached almost amazing figures at the close of the contest last Friday evening. There were three candidates, Miss Genevieve Hartig, Miss Zetta Keiffer and Miss Evca Belle Conklin, and all were favorites, as the votes each received proved. Miss Hartig received the winning vote of 87,879, which was larger than the largest vote cast in Grand Junction where there are two daily newspapers, and larger than any vote we have heard of in the state, even where the papers allowed coupons for advertising and job printing aside from subscriptions. The vote at Delta shows that two thousand dollars or more was paid in subscriptions to the newspapers during the three week’s contest. Miss Hartig’s vote, being the largest

Pest Away Spraying 874-4841

received by any candidate in the state, should place her in the lead for Colorado’s Apple Queen, a position she is well qualified to fill. She is not only an excellent stenographer, but also an orchard owner, a young woman of thorough business qualifications and the daughter of a pioneer fruit grower of Delta county, who will not only grace but dignify the title of Apple Queen if upon her it is bestowed. Delta is proud of each of its girl candidates and proud of the votes each one received. *** Just because you can talk well is no reason you should talk too much. *** The excavation for the new Methodist church at Austin is completed and warmer weather is awaited to begin the cement work on the foundation. *** W.E. Obert is now occupying his new residence on Garnet mesa, which he just built at a cost of $7,000. It is said to be one of the finest houses in Delta. *** The ice packing harvest will soon be under way. The D. & R. G. has storage capacity at Delta for 5,000 tons, which last year fell far short of their needs for icing refrigerator cars loaded with fruit for outshipment. *** Skating is fine and being enjoyed, while the kids are having the time of their life with sleds. It isn’t often that Delta streets are covered with hard, smooth snow,, but this week has found them so and it being holiday week every day and hour of the day have been improved. Sleds were not to be found in market, for there is so seldom snow enough for them to be used that they have been found a dead stock heretofore, but board sleds were quickly made for the boys and with long ropes they hitch to every passing vehicle whose owner is not too grouchy to allow them to do so, and ride for the length of a block or a street, enjoying the sport as only kids can. It has been a pleasure for this observer to watch the good natured help extended to the boys with sleds by a majority of the drivers. Often they stop long enough for ten or a dozen boys to “hook on,” then prance down the street enjoying the satisfaction of giving the boys a ride. ***

Q: A:

Do I have to pay for pre-arrangements?

Delta County Independent,

Plants of the Western Slope the petals only an one-eighth of an inch long, but the purple stamens extend well beyond the petals. I pluck a few blossoms from one of the plants, and we can see the colorful stamens with a hand lens. But where are the pistils? There aren’t any: for this plant has the male and female blossoms on different plants (called monecious). Finding a female plant might take the rest of the day! And there are other wildflowers to find. On this wintry day, I remember the scent of spruce trees, and wild-

flowers. What delightful summer memory. Note that King’s Crown is in the Stonecrop family, Crassulaceae: “crassus” means thick referring to the thick leaves. Another name is Sedum, from Latin “sedere” that means to sit as on rocks or stone walls. And so the name “stonecrop.” The family is centered in Africa, and there are nine native to the U.S. with three in our mountains. King’s Crown, pink-flowered Queen’s Crown, and bright yellow Stone Crop.

management, and much more. The classes are every Thursday from January 14 through March 25, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and are held in Grand Junction. After completing the class, the Apprentice Master Gardeners commit to a minimum of 50 hours during the spring and summer months, assisting the public at the Tri River Area Extension Offices and participating in other horticulture education and research projects. The registration fee is $125.00. The series of classes is also available for $425.00 for those who do not wish to repay the 50 hours. Cost includes the Master Gardener Manual and all applicable CSU and Tri River Area publications.

Grants available for specialty crops The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is seeking proposals for the Specialty Crops Block Grant Program. Specialty crops are defined as fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, and nursery crops including floriculture and sod. “Specialty crops are an important part of Colorado’s agriculture industry,” said Tom Lipetzky, CDA’s Markets Division Director. “These funds will help develop and promote the state’s diverse specialty crops.” Colorado’s specialty crops represent approximately 10 percent of Colorado’s total agricultural cash receipts. Since 2000, cash receipts from specialty crops have increased by 67 percent from $445 million to $743 million, ranking Colorado 16th in the nation. The grant program is funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which partners with state departments of agriculture to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crop producers in areas such as marketing, promotion, education, research, trade and nutrition. “The department must submit a request outlining projects to the USDA in order to receive these funds,” continued Lipetzky. “This application process will help determine which projects are included in our proposal to the USDA.” CDA anticipates that more than $750,000 will be available to support the specialty crop

grant and funds are expected to be available August 2010. Producer groups, organizations, and associations, as well as state and local organizations, academia and other specialty crops stakeholders are eligible to apply either as single entities or in combined efforts. Proposals submitted by individual producers must demonstrate that the potential impact of the project will accrue to a broader group of similar producers, region or industry segment. Proposals must be received by close of business (4:30 p.m.) on March 1. For more information and an application, visit www. colorado.gov/ag/specialtycropgrant or call (303) 239-4116.

other (opposite), or clustered near the base. The leaf arrangement (or lack thereof) gives my foot-tall flower an unusual appearance. People say that the plants look like soft, green bottlebrushes. The leaves range in length from a quarter of an inch up to an inch and a half. And from mere scale-like growths to over half an inch wide. They’re rather flat and smooth. They’re soft to the touch: You can almost feel the moisture within, hence the label of succulent. They’re a bit like the cultivated ice-plants. There are several names, both common and botanical, so I’ve chosen Janet Wingate’s labels of King’s Crown and Sedum roseum. The magenta flowers are tiny,

A look at local flora with Evelyn Horn King’s Crown Blue sky. No wind. I look out the window. I see icy ruts in the driveway’s snow. How I long for spring, and winter’s just begun. They say that our memories can give us roses in December. Well, this is January, and I need some summer roses! So I’ll take a memory vacation up to the Grand Mesa. We turn off of Highway 65 to the Skyway ski area. Our small group of flower watchers follows a two-track trail going around a bend to our left, and up into a small waterway. This is our destination. It’s a bit difficult to keep the group together: too many wildflowers to stop and admire! Brilliant blue Rydberg’s penstemon, purple fringe, showy white marsh marigolds, rosy paintbrush, and mountain sunflower. This is a wildflower garden! But the magenta-colored King’s Crown is my special plant for today. It grows from subalpine (9,500 feet elevation) up to alpine (11,000). The plant isn’t common, and to be able to find it so near a road is unusual. And here it is, right where I remember! Bright magenta flowers top an unusual stem: the leaves come out at all angles. With most plants the leaves are at right angles to the stem, more or less. And there are three basic patterns: scattered (alternate), in pairs opposite each

The county is moving forward with its effort of evaluating whether and how impact fees assessed on new development might become a source of revenue for county infrastructure needs, especially roads. The county commissioners are in the process of finalizing a contract with RPI Consulting of Durango for a transportation impact fee study. The study will look at specific issues and legal requirements the county will need to satisfy in order to impose impact fees, and keep and use the money for its intended purposes. Implementation of such a fee and the authority to keep money raised might require a “de-Brucing” vote. The study is an outgrowth of a multi-jurisdictional effort completed last year which laid the basic ground work for adopting impact fees in the county. Participating in that study were the county government and all the county’s municipalities except Crawford. At this point, only the county and Orchard City have moved forward on the impact fee idea. In business conducted at its Dec. 21 regular meeting, the Board of County Commissioners dealt with the following matters: • The BoCC received the final monthly sales tax report for 2009. It shows county receipts declined 5.25 percent for the year through December’s receipts, which are for sales concluded in October. The monthly decline from the previous December was three percent, following declines of 12 percent in November and 14 percent in October. The county budgeted for a five-percent decline in the revenues last year. • Commissioners approved a resolution granting a waiver to the state Certificate of Designation for CB Industries north of Delta. The waiver will allow the facility to receive shipments of spent shale rock that is being

The regular meetings are a new feature of the commissioners’ agenda. At the request of local residents, the sessions are held periodically to air issues

of policy and government philosophy. • Commissioners received a report from the county Health and Human Services Department on increased requests for assistance. As of Dec. 1, requests for help from the Low-income Energy Assistance Program were up 48 percent from last year, the commissioners were told. Requests for Food Stamp assistance were

1,349 in November compared with 1,056 in November last year, an increase of 22 percent. Applications for family Medicaid are up from 896 a year ago to 1,065 last month, an increase this year of 16 percent. • The board gave its approval for $7,606 in state payments to the Delta Housing Authority for its Housing Rehabilitation Assistance program

Delta County Commissioners adopt $28.5 million budget By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

A 2010 budget that projects $28.5 million in spending was officially adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on Dec. 21. The $28.5 million 2010 figure represents a 3.4-percent spending decrease for next year compared with the original 2009 budget amount of $29.4 million. The county finance department estimates the county’s final spending figure for 2009 will come in at $25.5 million. That lower spending figure is due to lower than anticipated revenue from some sources, budget cutting, and current expenses delayed to 2010. The final calculation for the county government mill levy came to be 11.87 mills. That

mill levy for county government represents an approximately 30percent decrease from 2009. The decrease, which will show up as a “credit” on 2010 tax bills, is due to the county opting to let a de-Brucing measure approved by voters in 2004 sunset this year. The money raised by the deBrusing was used for upgrading county roads. The extra revenue accounted for $1.5 million last year. The county is considering an impact fee for roads to replace that revenue in future years. The county’s 11.87 mill levy for 2010 will raise $3.1 million in the General Fund; $313,980 in the Road and Bridge Fund; $706,367 for the Human Services Fund; and $25,076 for the county’s Economic Development Fund. The countywide assessed val-

uation for 2010 is $353 million. That compares with an assessed valuation of $318 million used for 2009. During its Dec. 21 meeting, the BoCC also certified mill levies for the county’s property taxing municipalities and School District 50. Those levies for 2010 and the anticipated revenues raised are as follows: • School District 50, 27.192 mills, $9.6 million raised; • Town of Cedaredge, 5.959 mills, $142,557 raised • Town of Crawford, 2.42 mills, $7,872 raised; • Town of Hotchkiss, 5.011 mills, 57,668 raised; • Town of Paonia, 6.101 mills, $83,410 raised. The City of Delta and the Town of Orchard City have no municipal property tax.

Yaks are the bovine of choice for one Rogers Mesa family By Kathy Browning Staff Writer

Yaks are originally from Tibet, accustomed to living in 14,000 to 20,000 foot altitudes. Wild yaks are endangered, but domesticated yaks are doing well, including on Rogers Mesa. Kaylee and Jeff Armstrong and their four children are raising a herd of three yaks, two females and one male. Currently, they have a total of six yaks grazing in their pasture. They are hoping for some new little yaks in the summer. The Armstrongs, who own Abundant Life Organic Farms, acquired their yaks from Shannon Stuplich Holder of Crested Butte. Holder, who was featured recently in the Crested Butte Magazine, has her yaks more as pets. Jeff met Holder at the Crested Butte Farmers Market, and learned about the yaks. “It’s so important that we have animals

for grazing. They improve the soil health,” Kaylee explained. It’s good to rotate the animals grazing, so the Armstrong’s will be rotating yaks and chickens. The Armstrong’s like the fact that yaks eat far less than horses do when grazing. The Armstrongs are raising yaks for protein. A breeding female, Kaylee said, can sell for $3,000 at the Denver Stock Show. All of the Armstrong yaks will be named except the males which are destined to be consumed. Baby yaks are imprinted from birth, even bottle-fed, so they bond closely with their owners. They come when they are called. Chloe Armstrong will rattle the chains on the pasture gate, call them by name or shake yak snacks in a bucket to get their attention. Then the yaks come running like huge sheep dogs with their long shaggy tresses flying. Those tresses help

them stay warm in the coldest of temperatures. “We are trying to move more towards self-sufficiency,” Kaylee said. “Healthy protein is expensive when you are trying to raise four kids, a family of six.” Her children are 13, 11, 8 and 6. The yak’s coat can be brushed and made into felt material. They are good as pack animals, but Kaylee has had enough of sleeping on the ground when camping. Their yaks will stay on their property. Yak milk is good, as is their meat. Her husband Jeff went hunting for many years, but an episode where he was overdue from a hunting trip and Kaylee had to pack the kids up and head to the mountains to search for him, led to the decision to start raising their own livestock. Since Jeff doesn’t like beef, and they heard yak meat is good, it made sense to raise their own herd. It will be interesting to see if other farmers and ranchers will try raising yaks in the North Fork Valley.

Kathy Browning/DCI

What exactly is this? This is a yak named Bear. He is currently residing at Abundant Life Organic Farms on Rogers Mesa. Kaylee and Jeff Armstrong have six yaks pasturing. They will keep two females and one male to start their herd. The other three, including Bear, will be returned to their owner in Crested Butte. If trained from birth, yaks can be quite friendly. When beckoned by name, snacks in a bucket or gate rattling, yaks even come running with their shaggy long fringe flapping in the breeze. Chloe Armstrong points out Bear is not as friendly because he was an orphan and not socialized. More yak photographs can be viewed at www.flickr.com/kdbrowning.

CHLOE ARMSTRONG GIVES THE yaks a snack before petting and brushing them. Both male and female yaks have horns. Some raise yaks as pets, but the males can never be fully trusted. Those imprinted from birth to humans can be quite friendly. Yaks can be raised for their meat and milk and are good pack animals.

How are you saying this new year? By Kathy Browning Staff Writer

Happy New Year for however you’re saying it. I’ve been noticing the variety of ways people are pronouncing this new year 2010. So, what did you just think? Was it “two thousand ten” or “two thousand and ten” or “twenty-ten?” In a purely unofficial survey, the business people in Paonia are leaning towards “two thousand ten” with “twenty-ten” a close second. A number of people are undecided, not consistently saying one way or the other. In the minority, are those who are dropping the two and the thousand altogether, and are saying, “ohten.” PhDs are preferring “two thousand ten.” In Delta, “twenty-ten” nudged the “two thousand ten” people. Oddly enough, this question

about how to pronounce the year is not new at all. A check of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, reminds us that 1809 was commonly pronounced as “eighteen oh-nine.” It seems our favoring of “two thousand ten” could go back to the influence of the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey.” In a poll in Australia, 60 percent preferred “two thousand and ten.” Perhaps what will have the most worldwide influence on the pronunciation will be the Olympics. The upcoming winter Olympics are officially known as “Vancouver 2010” pronounced “twenty-ten.” While scholarly types are debating the flow or common logic of the various pronunciations, rejoice in your own individuality and say what’s natural for you. Everyone knows what you’re talking about.

The Hotchkiss Community United Methodist Church received its designation from the National Register of Historic Places on Oct. 28, 2009. The National Register is the official federal list of sites, buildings and structures significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture. Authorized in 1966, the National Register is one part of a national program to “coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate and protect our historic and archeological resources.” With this designation, the church is automatically listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties. The State Register is a listing of the state’s significant cultural resources worthy of preservation for the future education and enjoyment of Colorado’s residents and visitors. The Colorado State Register program is administered by the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation within the Colorado Historical Society. The Society maintains an official list of all properties included in the Colorado State Register. The State Register formally recognizes properties possessing a documented level of significance and that contribute to the understanding and appreciation of the history of a community, the state, or the nation. These designations make the church eligible for certain federSee Historic Registry, Page 2B

The church will now be eligible to apply for grants to preserve the building for future generations.

Hotchkiss students and teachers scale Quandary Peak By Kathy Browning Staff Writer

Kathy Browning/DCI

Opal’s a 102 in 2010 Family and friends joined with Opal Lynch in celebrating her 102nd birthday on Sunday, Jan. 3. Lynch’s great-great-great-nephew, Tucker Tweddell, blew out the candles on her cake. A Crawford native, Lynch taught school for 40 years. Her advice for the new year is, “Don’t worry. If there’s anything you can do to change things, do it. Otherwise, don’t worry about it.” Her party was held at Paonia Care and Rehabilitation Center.

The idea to climb a mountain was the idea of Hotchkiss High School student Conner Beard. One of his teachers, Richard Hypio, is an excellent outdoorsman and was experienced at climbing fourteeners. At first Hypio thought it was too late in the season to attempt a climb, but Quandary Peak near Breckenridge is known for being one of the easier fourteeners in Colorado. Hypio and his wife, Anita Evans, had climbed it in winter some years ago. With Hypio taking along emergency supplies and taking precautions, it would be safe for teachers and students to climb using snowshoes. Six Hotchkiss High School students and graduates, three Hotchkiss Middle School students, a third grader, the Dave Davis family, and Jeff and Amy Trefren signed on for the adventure. In all, 18 scaled the mountain. The date of the climb, Dec. 28 was set a month ago, and Hypio felt they could not have had See Quandary Peak, Page 2B

Needlework: Present meets the past at the museum The public is warmly invited to hear fiber artists Katherine Colwell and Lynn Mattingly present and discuss their work at the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Museum on Saturday, Jan. 16, from 1-4 p.m. The afternoon event celebrates the opening of the museum’s new exhibit of needlework, “From the Ordinary to the Elegant: 1890 to 1956.” Embroiderer Katherine Colwell and quilter Lynn D. Mattingly will trace the development of their work from traditional forms of needlework and quilting to their own recent creative innovations. Katherine Colwell, of Redlands Mesa, will share her lifetime of needlework experiences in a presentation titled “Connecting Threads.” From lazy-daisy embroidered tea towels, tailored clothing, needlepainting kits, quilting, unique embroidered etchings, silk paper embroidery, to her embroidered books, Colwell uses traditional needlework techniques connecting stitchers and seamstresses across genera-

tions, including her great-grandmother Lizzie Hetz Hellyer’s walking suit (circa 1899), on loan at the museum for the needlework exhibit. With an art degree from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, and K-12 art education credentials from Black Hills State University, Colwell also teaches drawing, design, and embroidery processes from her studio. North Fork residents will be familiar with her work locally at the North Fork Montessori School. Lynn Mattingly, of Paonia, will describe the history and content of innovative quilt making, or “Art Quilting,” a robust movement which has steadily grown from the deep roots of antique and traditional quilts. Mattingly will bring samples of contemporary quilts which will illustrate the diversity of styles, sensibilities and techniques being used in quilt making today. Mattingly owned a quilt shop for eight years and started teaching quilt making as soon as she taught herself to quilt over 35 years

had picked a better crystal clear day. It came between the cold streak and the recent snowstorm. Teacher Jed Trefren shared, “It was great for kids to push themselves mentally and physically.” He noted that while there was a level of difficulty and danger, their climb was safe and exciting. The trail to Quandary Peak starts just off Hoosier Pass south of Breckenridge at about 11,500 feet. It’s a steep hike up 3,700 feet to the top in just 3.3 miles. “It definitely tested everybody,” Hypio said. “For most of these kids it was their first fourteener. It is unusual to do your first one in the wintertime, but it came altogether. During the course of the hike, various people felt poorly at different times. But for all 18 to make it to the top was a neat thing.” The view from Quandary Peak in the wintertime is “indescribable” Hypio shared. “Everyone had a great time. It was a rewarding thing to do.”

al and state investment tax credits for rehabilitation and for State Historical Fund grants. The stone church located at Second and Orchard in Hotchkiss is done in the craftsman architectural style. The church has historic integrity because it has not been changed on the exterior since it was built. Originally a Hotchkiss Community Methodist Episcopal church, the first building built on this property was in July 31, 1898. When the congregation out grew that church, a new church was planned. Peter Stewart was the builder of this current church. The estimated cost of the new building was $15,000, with Stewart’s wife the building designer and construction manager. The brick from the first church was salvaged, becoming the inner wall of the new volcanic stone church. The stone church was dedicated on April 18, 1929 with the first Sunday School and worship services on April 21. The downstairs dining room was dedicated as Stewart Hall in memory of the

church’s builder, Peter Stewart. In preparation to be considered for the National Register, trustee Gary Matlock and the project’s co-partner, Rita Sussman, researched the history of the church through a history written by Fern Schafer in 1984 and conferring with the grandchildren of Peter Stewart. Although the congregation worked hard to pay off the note held by Peter Stewart for building costs, due to the Great Depression they could not come up with all the money. Stewart generously tore up the note. The craftsman style grew out of a rebellion in England against factory made items. People wanted to go back to handcrafted workmanship. “The craftsman style did not require a high priced architect,” Matlock explained. “Anyone could learn to build this style. It fit the mindset of the time.” Peter Stewart learned this style in Canada prior to moving to Barrow Mesa. He built in the craftsman style throughout the North Fork Valley. Matlock credits Stewart with having more

to do with Hotchkiss architecture than anyone else. The unique architecture creates buildings with native stone and built with local materials. Matlock believes that restoring historic buildings can improve the economic development of the town depending upon the will of the townspeople. More history of the church and of it’s builder will be discussed in a future article in the Delta County Independent.

Real hoops season set to begin this week Class 3A Cedaredge and Hotchkiss girls are both having problems getting their offenses untracked in the early stages of the season. Cedaredge has been without their all-conference point guard Rachelle Litsheim during preseason play. Litsheim is expected to add both offense and defense to the Lady Bruins’ program when she returns to the court this week. Cedaredge has 35-point scor-

With the new year comes the real beginning of prep basketball season as high school teams venture into their true conference schedules. Several teams are having successful campaigns in the early goings. How they fare in the regular season is perhaps another matter. Class 2A One of the top teams in the state is Paonia High School’s Lady Eagles, which was rated fifth as of Dec. 21. Paonia has a 6-1 record with that one loss coming to 3A Olathe (6-0). The Lady Eagles have a solid inside and outside game with plenty of defense and should make a serious run for the state title in March. Paonia is scoring 52 points a game as opposed to their opponents’ 30 points per game in the seven games played so far. For Paonia’s boys the scenario is a bit different so far. The Eagles have started slow and currently have a 1-6 record heading into league play.

average of 50 points per game while their opponents are scoring nearly 55 points a game. Class 4A Delta High School has not been an offensive-minded team in either the boys or girls division. Both, however, do have good defensive teams. The Lady Panthers played the talented Paonia Eagles to a 5240 loss in the Bank of the West Tournament and showed flashes of offense that will be needed in

the tough WSL beginning this week. Delta is averaging 41.5 points a game while giving up 47 points a game so far. The boys are scoring at a 55point per game clip and are giving up 57.5 points a game.

Businesses greet 2010 with optimism By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

With sales tax revenues for the Town of Cedaredge on the decline — 2007 sales tax revenues were $341,983; $341,546 in 2008 and $307,613 for 2009 (projected) — it’s hard to imagine any local business owner having anything good to say about 2009. Yet, as 2009 comes to a close, some Cedaredge business owners reported an increase in sales revenue for 2009, and a few expressed optimism for 2010. Said Shari Owens at Lovett House, “2009 was our best year ever, and with so many returning guests we are looking forward to 2010.” Sandy VanDenBerg said sales at Cedaredge Floral were up over 2008. “We’re not going anywhere,” she added, “We’ll be here forever. Heidi Hudek, store manager at Starr’s Guitars, also said that compared to 2008, revenues were up slightly in 2009. Hudek said

she too is optimistic for 2010. John Breitenauer, owner of Cedaredge Pharmacy, also commented that revenues were up “slightly” at the pharmacy in 2009, and that now, with the addition of the PACE program (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), he is optimistic about 2010. In contrast, Roger Bynum, owner of Cedaredge Food Town and Delta Food Town, said revenues at both stores were “down slightly” from 2008, adding that he too is optimistic for 2010. Gene Welch, owner of the TriR Motel, said that even though his revenues were down from 2008, he, like Bynum, is optimistic for 2010. “We’re holding our own,” he said. Welch explained that all the road work and resurfacing done on Highway 65 in 2008 kept most of his rooms rented out most of the time. “We really didn’t expect to do better. 2008 was a good year for us,” he said.

Police chief opening attracts 26 applicants By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

According to Cedaredge town administrator Kathleen Sickles, the town has received 26 applications for police chief “from all over the country.” The application deadine was Monday, Dec. 28. The opening was created when former chief David King submitted his letter of resignation, effective Oct. 17, 2009. Sickles noted that half of the applicants appear to be both qualified for the position and well suited for the Town of Cedaredge. Sickles said the number will eventually be narrowed down to three or four well qualified candidates and two alternates, and the interview process will take place on Feb. 4-5, following a reception. The actual date, time and location have yet to be set. Sickles also noted that three area residents (Laurence Smith, Michael Meskel and Michael Folkerth) have submitted letters of interest regarding the current vacancy on the town council. That vacancy was created by the appointment last month of trustee Pat Means as mayor. Whether or not these three will “throw their hats in the ring” for the upcoming April municipal election remains to be seen.

Means said the town will continue to accept resumes and letters of interest from Cedaredge residents who are interested in filling the vacancy on the town council until the Jan. 21 meeting of the town council, at which time the trustees will have the opportunity to review the applicant’s letters of interest, resumes and ask questions of each candidate prior to taking any action.

Want to be a trustee? The Town of Cedaredge is seeking candidates to serve as a member of the board of trustees. If you are qualified and interested in serving, please submit a resumé and letter of interest to Town of Cedaredge, P.O. Box 398, Cedaredge, CO 81413. Or, letters of interest may be hand delivered to the Town Hall at 235 W. Main St., Cedaredge. Detailed qualifications and duties are available at Town Hall or in the Municipal Code in Home Rule Charter at www.cedaredgecolorado. com

New year resolutions from Cedaredge public officials offer insight into 2010 By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

Making a New Year’s resolution is nothing new. The tradition has its roots with the Babylonians nearly 4,000 years ago. For the Babylonians, the first day of the year began on March 23. Later, the Romans marked Jan. 1 as the New Year, but they continued the tradition of making a resolution as part of the New Year ritual. A common resolution was to ask for forgiveness from enemies of the past year. That’s still a good resolution. However, times have changed and today some of the more common resolutions are to exercise, lose weight, quit smoking, get organized, or help others. In keeping with 4,000 year-old tradition, the mayor of Cedaredge and some of the members of the town council have courageously offered to share at least one resolution for the year 2010. Cedaredge Mayor Pat Means said that as mayor she is going to “bite the bullet,” and try to be more patient, in both her personal life and as mayor. To do that,

Flag presentation salutes American victories in Iraq By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The year 2010 began with a New Year’s Eve event commemorating America’s victory over the despotic regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Members from two posts of

the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Auxiliary Units joined together in a shared commitment that 2010 will be a year when once again America leads the fight for freedom and truth at home and around the world. The occasion was a presen-

GRAND MESA VFW POST Commander Gary Tolefson, center, talks with Teresa Smithson, left, of Cedaredge during a New Year’s Eve flag presentation ceremony at the Veterans Memorial in Delta’s City Cemetery. Smithson who has been working in Iraq presented two flags to local VFW Post and Auxiliary Units.

tation of two flags that have been flown in Baghdad over a former Hussein palace hubristically named “The Victory Over America Palace.” The biting irony of that name in light of America’s two decisive victories over Hussein’s oppressive military was not lost on the veterans. They gathered in high spirits with family and friends at the Veterans Memorial in Delta’s City Cemetery for the flag presentations, and to fete an American triumph in the ongoing fight to carry democratic principals, institutions, and freedom through the world. The two flags presented were flown over the former Saddam palace on Nov. 11, 2009, the official observance of Veterans Day in America. Teresa Smithson, a resident and native of Cedaredge, has been working as a civilain technicial contractor in Iraq. She brought the flags home from Iraq and presented them to members of VFW Posts and Auxiliary Units 3571 of Delta and 9221 of Cedaredge.

Means said she intends to “listen more and speak less.” Cedaredge mayor pro tem Gene Welch said that even though times are tough, he intends to “finish what we start,” citing street improvements and repairs as examples. Welch added that along with town projects, he also has many projects at home that he intends to finish. Last year, Welch stated that one of his resolutions was “not to talk to reporters.” This year, he says he intends to be “nicer to newspaper reporters.” Trustee Nelson Cederberg said he is even more committed to working with the Friends of Cedaredge Animal Control to making the Cedaredge Animal Shelter self-sufficient by 2011. Cederberg would also like to be instrumental in healing the perceived disunity between those residents living in Deer Creek Village and those living in the historic downtown area of Cedaredge. Trustee Clayton Ryan said he is hesitant to making resolutions, because most of them are typically broken. With that said, Ryan said his resolutions this year are to “continue to do my best to keep our town a prosperous, healthy and safe place to live ... a place we all can be proud of.” Ryan said,

that like Welch, he too intends on getting some of the major projects (street improvements and repairs) started this year. “I think it’s important that we get some of these projects started,” said Clayton, adding that he is going to play more golf. Trustee Bruce Bertram, while not committing to making any resolutions, said he would “like to think that this year [2010] will bring a council to the table that does their homework and who are not afraid to speak out when they see something wrong.” Ber-

tram also said he hopes there will be a delegation of authority “from the council” to the mayor and town administrator. Bertram concluded saying he would like to see the issues surrounding the controversial business license ordinance, resolved in a just and amicable manner for all those involved. When making a New Year’s resolution, people need to think long term, focusing on those things that are truly important, and not on what you, or others, “think” you should do.

Cedaredge gives business license holders extra month Cedaredge businesses were notified by mail that their annual business license expiration will be extended one month while the town discusses possible changes. A letter from Cedaredge town administrator Kathleen Sickles, to all business license holders, dated Dec. 24, 2009, states, “Due to the expiration of your current Business License and scheduled Board of Trustees meetings to discuss and retain or change the Business License Ordinance, I have administratively extended the expiration of your 2009 Busi-

ness License from Jan. 31, 2010 to Feb. 26, 2010.” The letter goes on to say, “Administrative staff has been charged to collect a variety of information about Business License regulations in other municipalities and the Town of Cedaredge. The packet of information will be available on the town website www. cedaredgecolorado.com or at Cedaredge Town Hall on or before Jan. 14, 2010. Please feel free to submit your comments or questions to Town Hall.”

Baby, it’s cold outside According to weatherman James Hopkins, this winter has been the coldest in the Grand Valley for three decades, and the “snowiest” in 25 years. Cedaredge residents can attest to a cold, snowy winter so far. All was quiet on Main Street on Wednesday morning, Dec. 30, as several inches of fresh snow blanketed the business district on the eve of a new year.

Group helps skiers stay ‘young at heart’ By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

Winter’s here, the snow is great and once again, those older skiers who are still young at heart at invited to join the “Young at Heart” ski bunch on Thursdays at Powderhorn Ski Resort on Grand Mesa. Cedaredge resident Dave and Marilyn Pipkin are again hosting this popular senior ski program. The program is designed for those 50 or older who like to alpine ski, telemark, snowboard and generally like to stay active through the winter months. Participants enjoy discounted lift tickets, a great day of skiing and camaraderie. The Young at Heart group (YAH) was formed by the Pipkins in 2004. Both are former members of the ski patrol at Copper Mountain and Breckenridge, and both are certified ski instructors with the Professional Ski Instructors of America. The group meets every Thursday, until the end of the ski season, usually in late March. The day begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Powderhorn ski school desk, where YAH members can sign in, get their discounted lift tickets, and tickets for an après ski party. For those unfamiliar with the resort, the ski school desk is located on the bottom level of the main lodge. According to Marilyn, YAH members like to be booted up and ready to ski by 9 a.m., but those who come a little late can

still register and get their discounted tickets until 9:15 a.m. After 9:15 no discounted tickets for the Young At Heart group will be sold. Those with Powderhorn season passes are welcome to join in the fun. YAH members not only get a substantial break on lift tickets and food at the Powderhorn Resort Ski Area, but they also have the opportunity to meet people their own age, improve their skiing skills while skiing with small groups of skiers with comparable skills and stay physically active during the long months of winter. Tickets for YAH members are $35, a big savings from the normal lift ticket price of $53 for skiers between 50-59 years of age, and $43 for skiers between 60-69. Once on the slope, YAH offers smaller groups to match up skiers of similar abilities. These groups are the Green Group, the Blue Crew, the Black and Blue Bunch and the All Mountain Masters. The Green Group skis mostly the green easiest slopes at a slow speed. The Blue Crew concentrates on blue intermediate slopes at moderate speeds, and may ski small moguls, if they choose. The Black and Blue Bunch ski all slopes at a faster pace, and for those who like the steep and deep, the All Mountain Masters ski all the slopes and grades at an even faster pace. These different ability groups are also great for couples who

ski at different levels. Couples can have a great day skiing with a group of their skiing peers and not feel like they are burdening their spouse. Marilyn explained that this allows everyone to ski in their comfort zone and stay on slopes that match their level of expertise. Each group is lead by be one of 10 experienced guides/hosts, ranging in age from 40 to 71 years of age, five of whom are certified professional ski instructors. Most groups do a “ski by” at the quad lift to pick up late comers, or really late sleepers can join up with the others at lunch at 11:30 a.m., at the Sunset Grille.

Grand Mesa grooming in full swing on ski trails By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

According to Al Fournier, Grand Mesa Nordic Council groomer for the Ward Lake cross-country ski area, the skiing on the Grand Mesa is excellent. “I’m excited,” said Fournier. He groomed and set all the trails that make up the Ward Lake cross-country ski area on Tuesday, Dec. 29. Then it snowed on Wednesday, so Fournier went up on Thursday, Dec. 31, and groomed the entire Ward Lake ski trail system again, in preparation for the New Year’s weekend.

Another GMNC groomer, Kenton Shaw, took time to groom some of the trails at both the County Line and Skyway crosscountry ski areas on Wednesday, Dec. 30. With more snow expected through Wednesday night, Shaw said another groomer, Jon Canty, was scheduled to go up on Friday, Jan 1, to finish grooming the area in preparation for Skyway Skuffle and the holiday weekend. Shaw and Canty both use the “snow cat” to groom the trails at Skyway and County Line. According to the GMNC website, with 50 entries, Cedaredge

Longtime Cedaredge resident and former Emergency Medical Technician, Monty McDermith is now an officer with the Cedaredge Police Department. A native Coloradan, McDermith graduated from Monte Vista High School, after which he and his parents moved to Cedaredge in 1992. He now lives in Cedaredge with his wife, Laurie; two daughters, Amanda and Candice; and a son, Ryan. Ryan is a student at Cedaredge High School and Candice is a student at Cedaredge Middle School. McDermith served as an EMT for the Surface Creek area and the City of Delta County for ten years (1995-2005), before “burning out” and going to work in the coal mines. But, after working in the coal mines for three years, McDermith said he knew he had made a mistake. “I’m a people person,” he said, “I like dealing with the public and I loved working as an EMT.” Cedaredge Police Officer Chris Curtis met McDermith while they were both working as an EMTs, and later, after McDermith had gone to work for the mines, Officer Curtis encouraged him to apply for a police officer opening on the Cedaredge Police Department. Cedaredge Police Chief, Dan Sanders, commented that even though McDermith was the only applicant that did not meet the requirements, his test score was so impressive that the Cedaredge Police Department took it upon themselves to sponsor him to the Law Enforcement Academy at Delta-Montrose Technical College, in exchange for a three-year

Monty McDermith

commitment from McDermith. On Dec. 17, McDermith graduated from the academy with a Peace Officer Standard Training Certificate (POST). He completed his first day of duty as a police officer of the CPD on Dec. 22. When asked, McDermith said he plans on serving the Town of Cedaredge lot longer than the required three years. “This is my home,” he said. When not on duty, McDermith likes to fly-fish and ride ATVs. For their part, both Sanders and Curtis said they were excited to have, a “local guy” serving as a police officer, “… who wants to work and stay in Cedaredge.” Sanders said much of 2010 will be spent on training (basics, certifications, etc.), and then, until the end of March, 2010, Officer McDermith will partner with Officer Curtis, before going solo. Chief Sanders noted that with the addition of McDermith, the CPD is back up to five full-time police officers (himself, Officer McDermith, Officer Curtis, Officer Mike Neil and Officer Roy Spiker), a code enforcement officer, Carla Sanborn; an animal control officer, Kelle Rodarte; and an administrative assistant, Troy Gray.

area residents Dave Aschwanden and Christie Aschwanden captured the Skyway Skuffle’s first place male and female wins, with a first and third place overall, respectively. Russ Bollig (Broomfield) took home second place men, and Kari Distefano (Telluride) took home second place women. Fournier, who grooms the Ward Lake area with a snowmobile and a variety of “utensils” (roller, grader, or track setter), said grooming started in early November, and now, with more than enough snow to cover the rocks, is in full swing. The Grand Mesa Nordic Council, founded in March 1990, is a community based nonprofit organization composed of cross country skiers and snowshoers from around the Grand Mesa region, and is dedicated to promoting fun, safe, diversified cross country skiing experiences on the Grand Mesa for skiers of all ages, abilities, and interests. with an emphasis on trail grooming, maintenance, and development. Winter trail grooming officially began at the Ward Lake trail system in January 1991. A word of caution; Kim Ralston, business manager for the Grand Valley Ranger District, noted that the cross-country ski trails are closed to snowmobiles.

Alex Dean Speedie, a 2006 graduate of Cedaredge High School and undergraduate at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, performed a duet in Dendy Dancetheater’s Afternoon of the Faunes based on The Afternoon of a Faun, originally choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky for the Ballets Russ-

Participants in the YAH program must be able to make controlled linked turns on a beginner run before joining in the fun. Beginning skiers who would like to join the group are encouraged to take a few lessons from the Powderhorn Ski School, prior to joining. At the end of the day, all the groups gather at the Sunset Grille for a great après-ski party that includes wine, beer, soft drinks and hors d’oeuvres. There is a charge of $8 for this party. This is a great time to enjoy each other and the experiences of the day at a more than reasonable cost. New this year is a special lodging offer from the Inn at Wildwood ($75 for a room on Wednesday and/or Thursday night) for YAH members. The Inn at Wildwood, located next to the quad lift, offers ski in/ski out lodging. YAH membership offers a great opportunity to ski at a reduced rate, meet new friends, stay fit and just have fun. According to Marilyn, about half of the Young at Heart members come from Delta County. Those wanting to carpool to Powderhorn or who want more information can call Dave or Marilyn Pipkin at 856-8741.

Orchard City residents lose electricity on New Year’s Day Delta-Montrose Electric Association had an outage in Orchard City which affected residents along Fruitgrowers Road, Hart Basin, Del Ray and Highway 65 into Cedaredge, including lower Tongue Creek. At 12:09 a.m. Jan. 1 Delta dispatch reported a line down on Myers Road.

That outage lasted just under an hour. Their power was also restored at 7:45 a.m.

Orchard City pursues grant to complete park plan By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

Since its beginnings as a youth baseball “little league” facility, what has since grown to become Orchard City Park has been a center of community activity and community pride. With the planned expansion of the park this year to include an open-air pavilion, the town’s ambitious dream of creating a first-class park facility for the community will reach its fulfillment. It is seeking a $123,528 grant to complete the town’s park master plan to pave the way for the final phase of park expansion. The current town board and two previous ones have poured effort and money into that dream. They received financial help from the county, and support from the citizens of Orchard City who recognized the need for an organized sports venue for youth, and who also understood the logic of expanding the park’s acres of grounds and its beautiful setting into a regional facility

that everyone could enjoy. The town has contributed its own funds along with generous

grant funding provided by people who buy Colorado Lottery tickets. Proceeds from the sale

through the county, such as the Summer Reading Programs. With the budget cuts that the county library district is experiencing, the Friends give much needed support to the Cedaredge Library. Anyone in the Surface Creek area is invited to join the Friends of the Cedaredge Library. The group holds monthly meetings January to May and then again from September through November. The next meeting

will be Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 2 pm at the library’s meeting room. For the January program three local poets will be giving readings of their favorite poems. All meetings are fun, and include a short program on interesting topics, following the business meeting. Annual dues are $15 for an individual, and $25 for a family. For more information or to join call Gini Moseley at 8562376.

Don’t resolve to quit smoking; set a date to give up the habit Instead of quitting smoking cold turkey on Jan. 1, you should put together a plan to quit, experts recommend. Research shows that setting a “quit date” as part of a plan to quit smoking that is shared with family and friends leads to a better success rate with the perennially popular New Year’s resolution. “People who want to quit using tobacco don’t have to go it alone,” said Deb Osborne, cessation director for the State Tobacco Education and Prevention Partnership. “They can find effective resources online that provide options for quitting and specific tips on how to set the stage for success.” One of the state’s new online resources, MyQuitPath.com, can help smokers who are getting ready to quit and those who are ready now. Smokers can find the resource that’s right for them among seven

THE TOWN OF ORCHARD City’s successful pursuit of a $123,528 grant for the final phase of Orchard City’s Park’s master plan will make addition of a large, open-air pavilion possible this year.

THE FIELD OF DREAMS was the original purpose of what has become Orchard City Park. Fees the town charges for organized youth sport activities help pay a portion of the park’s annual maintenance and operations costs.

Friends of Cedaredge Library begin year with Jan. 14 meeting As 2010 arrives, the Friends of the Cedaredge Library are looking to increase their enrollment. The Friends support the library by raising money, mostly by book sales. There is the big book sale at AppleFest, the paperback sale held in the spring and the on-going sale at the Coffee Barn. This money is used to buy additional books and supplies for the Library and support programs that not fully funded

of those tickets are the funding source for major grants which have allowed the town’s park development plans to proceed. Since 1996, according to Great Outdoors Colorado, Lottery money through the GOCO program has contributed $363,525 to specific grant requests for development of the Orchard City Park facility. Additions in recent years include soccer fields, walking paths, a basketball court, concession stand, rest room facility and children’s playground. The planned open-air pavilion, along with additional parking and maintained open space, will add a final element to the park which will make it a true community facility for every occasion.

different linked sites. The website highlights the Colorado QuitLine, a free telephone coaching service for quitting tobacco. Research shows that smokers who use resources such as QuitLine and tobacco cessation medications such as nicotine patches are more than eight times more likely to quit smoking completely. MyQuitPath.com also has an innovative online text messaging quitting tool, an interactive “laboratory” to evaluate the health effects of smoking and proven strategies for creating personal quit plans. Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of premature, preventable deaths in Colorado and is the single greatest driver of health care costs. More than 4,000 Coloradans die every year from tobacco-related illnesses. Smoking also leads to severe health problems, including can-

cer, heart disease and stroke. People who stop smoking, however, can see immediate health benefits. Within 20 minutes after quitting, a smoker’s heart rate and blood pressure drop. With 12 hours, the carbon monoxide levels in their blood have decreased. And as soon as two weeks after quitting, a smoker’s circulation and lung functions improve. Long-term ex-smokers can look forward to longer life spans and decreased risk of chronic diseases. The State Tobacco Education and Prevention Partnership implements a comprehensive program that uses effective and proven strategies to prevent and reduce tobacco use. The program administers the Colorado QuitLine, operated by National Jewish Health and funded through the Amendment 35 voter-approved tobacco tax.

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY January 7, 1910 (From The Delta Independent) The Salt Lake Tribune of December 30 stated that the Colorado Midland had found a new, shorter and lower route from Salt Lake to Denver by way of Aspen, Buena Vista and around the base of Mt. Princeton, cutting out Leadville. It is claimed that the steepest grade by this route will only be two percent. The plan is to run down the South Fork of the South Platte from Buena Vista and connect with the South Fork branch of the C. & S. It will be remembered by those living in the North Fork district that an engineering party ran lines across that part of the country last summer under the guise of surveying reservoir sites, and the aforementioned paper said that the party that was out for the Midland had used that mode of keeping its real interests dark. Now that the plans have been practically clinched the company let the matter out. Now if that paper knew, and there is every reason to believe that it did, Delta will have a second road and a good one. More than that it will have the trip to Denver shortened about one third or more. But, Whatever the prospects may be, the matter should be taken up at once by the citizens and different business men’s associations and put before the Midland company in such a way that no doubt will remain as to the inducements this county offers for a second road. The business is here for the Midland or any other road that gets in first. *** Canon City, Jan 3. – The Delta County boosters 150 strong arrived at 9:50 this morning on a special train of five coaches en route from the Western Slope to the Colorado Nation Apple Exposition at Denver. Committees had been appointed by the Canon City Merchants Association and the Fremont County Horticultural Society to meet the visitors at the station and extend to them a formal welcome, but the arrival of the train twenty minutes ahead of schedule time somewhat interfered with the program. The delegation, however, marched through the streets, and regardless of the snow storm which prevailed at the time, seemed to enjoy the visit.

*** On New Year’s Day, announcement was made by the University of Denver that Judge Alfred R. King, of Delta, had been unanimously selected, with four other prominent men, to receive the degree of Doctor of Laws at the commencement next May. This is the highest degree conferred by this institution. The standing, character and ability of Judge King appeal to all our citizens, and those who know him best will rejoice that this high honor is to be conferred upon him. *** Delta county got her share of prizes at the poultry show just past at Grand Junction, which is said to be the finest show of its kind ever held in Colorado. David Smith of North Delta was there with nine of his fancy birds, which took away eight premiums. Axford and Holeman of Paonia exhibited 53 fine show birds, and captured two sweepstake cups on Asiatic and Mediterranean, seven firsts, two seconds, seven thirds and five fourths. This goes to show that Delta county can raise chickens as well as other good things, and at the present high price of eggs they are a valuable crop. *** A.E. Seymour, district manager of the Knight-Campbell Music Company of Denver, was in Delta from Grand Junction Monday making arrangements for a branch store here. He secured floor space in Van Volkenburgh’s book store and will soon have some of the finest pianos on display there. The Knight-Campbell Company is an old established house, well known all over Colorado. They have been doing a fine business in Grand Junction and there is little doubt but that they will do equally well in Delta. *** This is our New Year resolution: Eat less, no booze, head cool, feet warm, mouth shut, and inflate our nickel into two-bits. *** A lot of hungry passengers spent Christmas stuck in a snow bank near Alpine tunnel on the C. & S. in Gunnison county, with mercury down to 10 below freeze and nothing to eat. This should teach us that others are frequently worse off than we are. ***

ourism promotion in Delta County treads a narrow path that winds between the goals of bringing tourism dollars to the local economy while striving to preserve the very things visitors find desirable — open space and agriculture, natural history and heritage, individual lifestyle choices, and outdoor recreation. The goal of local tourism promotion is finding and connecting with the right market niche that will attract that specific tourist segment to come here, experience and respect what Delta County has to offer. An example of the tourist promotion work that takes place was a halfday float trip on the Gunnison River last October, provided by the Delta County Tourism Cabinet, for two freelance writers — Andrea Granaham of Sonoma County, Calif, and Christie Aschwanden who lives near Cedaredge. The goal is that the writers will be successful in placing articles about their experience in regional or national publications. The trip was a uniquely relaxing and fun adventure on eight miles of the Gunnison from Pleasure Park to Gunnison River Farms. The river guide was Al DeGrange of Gunnison River Expeditions who manned the oars of the sturdy river craft and entertained his guests with lots of information on local history, culture, recreation, and more. The river float concluded with a light meal hosted by DeGrange and his associate Mary Shea, and which included a wine pairing featuring Delta County’s own vintages provided by Bill Musgnung of Bethlehem Wine Cellars of Paonia. The day couldn’t have been better for a river float. The October sky was

clear, the sun was warm, and water was the right temperature for river outing togs of shorts and sandals. A brief side trip at Lawhead Gulch Overlook gave the writers a chance to visit a BLM archaeological “dig in progress.” There, tucked neatly in under a sandstone overhang, Native Americans centuries ago had made a southfacing shelter and scribed some of the sandstone walls with petroglyphs, which are open for visitors to view from a safe distance behind a split rail fence. The trip ended with a meal and fine wines served in the gracious and relaxing setting of an open-air pavilion at Gunnison River Farms. The event was hosted by Rick Dudginski of Black Canyon Anglers. Now a recreation/resort facility located on the river at the end of Shea Road, Gunnison River Farms was long a working agriculture and orcharding enterprise begun by local pioneers. Orchards and vineyards are still producing fruit there, and the guests were invited to enjoy a fresh, tree-picked ripe peach before heading back to their laptops for some expert wordsmithing about the delights of Delta County. The ultimate goal of tourism promotion is, of course, to bring tourism business to the area. The dollars spent by visitors are important to this economy. The ideal scenario for tourism-based industry is for visitors to spend the maximum amount of money in the community on their visits while creating the minimum amount of demand on expensive public services. Kelli Hepler, who organized the freelance writers’ float trip for the tourism cabinet, explained, “We are really interested in attracting the traveler who likes heritage, culture, soft outdoor recreation, and also those who will protect these resources while they enjoy them.

THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF of Native American people always fascinates visitors. This panel is part of the archaeological “dig in progress.” A take-out and short hike to this ancient site was a mid-float highlight that sparked lots of conversation.

GUIDE AL DEGRANGE PREPARES the boat and his passengers for the final leg of the float to Gunnison River Farms. Kelli Hepler, who organized the trip for the Delta County Tourism Cabinet and works to arrange promotional activities like this Gunnison River float, steadies the craft.

up after themselves; people who want to have a cup of coffee with the local ranchers and enjoy the conversation; people who want to see rock art and respect it; and people who enjoy our locals and the lifestyle we have here.” And, Hepler added, “Certainly we want to have the welcome mat out and be welcoming and friendly. But putting graciousness aside for just a moment, tourism promotions are really intended to sell visitors a little more than just a cup of coffee.” There are plenty of opportunities for visitors to come visit Delta County, enjoy themselves while boosting the local economy by spending some money, staying a couple of nights in local lodging, and then going back home. But getting them to come here is the goal of tourism promotion. The various street festivals and community celebrations generate mainly local economic activity. They can generate some out-of-area tourism business too, but to be really successful they must compete with similar fairs and festivals that take place in virtually every other community in the state on every weekend from May through October. The Delta Trap Club brings in competitive trap shooters by the dozens and hundreds for two big shooting sports events it hosts – the annual State Shoot and the club’s Labor Day Shoot. Hunting season, motorcycle rallies, classic car events, Ride the Rockies and other bicycle tours contribute. Outdoor recreation is definitely a draw, and enthusiasts coming to Delta County spend money. But people who camp and cook out in the wilds aren’t always doing a lot for the businesses on Main Street.

Attracting money-spending, shortstay visitors here to help boost the local economy is the goal of tourism promotion efforts like the Gunnison River float trip last October. These efforts resulted in dozens of articles about Delta County tourism opportunities appearing in state, regional and national publications during 2009 alone.

THE FINAL TOUCH OF the promotional float trip was a wine pairing where local vintages were served with a light lunch. Writer Christie Aschwanden, seated, enjoys the finalé hosted by Rick Dudginski of Black Canyon Anglers, left, and Bill Musgnung of Bethleham Wine Cellars of Paonia.

Presbyterian Church of Delta

I’m not big on making New Year’s resolutions, but if the advent of the new year inspires some to initiate some needed changes in their lives, then go for it. For myself, I have too many “needed changes” to wait for a new year’s kick-off. They need work all year long. So here’s a few ongoing resolutions: • Continue to turn down the volume when ads and commercials and repeated news segments come on TV and radio. The talk shows and sports on radio are often interesting and help pass time on the drive between Kannah Creek and Delta (though not as entertaining as looking for pronghorn along the route or admiring a lovely sunset over the plateau!). Trouble with radio, 10 minutes of talk alternates with at least five minutes of ads, sometimes more.

I don’t need to hear for the 50th time in one week the recorded ad of who to call if I want my house remodeled, or the commercial assuring me that I “deserve” that $50,000 SUV when my perfectly ancient 4-Runner and even more ancient sedan still get me from here to there. As for half-hour news breaks between talk shows, do we really need to hear, every 10 minutes, that President Obama arrived at the White House from some overseas trip, or that some politician — or reverend — has been caught with his pan...well... has been caught misbehaving. As for sports radio, do any of you who listen all day ever tire of, every 10 minutes, hearing scores from the night before? How many times do we need to hear that Dallas defeated Atlanta 24-17? Even more absurd is up-to-the-moment sports scores: “With 20 seconds gone in the first quarter, the Nuggets and

Warriors are tied one to one!” • Contine to resist the promises by cell phone and iPod promoters that what is missing most in my life is a tiny contraption that allows me to watch my favorite movie or even watch my favorite music video, take pictures of my cat (if I had one), keep a list of things-to-do-today, and have instant access to, or worse, be instantly accessible for virtually everyone who ever knew me. Hey, I’m glad Gloria has a cell phone, particularly for emergency needs should they arise. As for iPods, I’d just as soon continue to imagine that they’re UFO capsules that ET uses to cruise around in once his space ship lands on the earth’s surface. • Continue to read the Bible and pray for the wisdom to discern and apply its lessons to every aspect of life. As one gets older, it’s easier to be critical about things (see above paragraphs). Yet, iP-

First Baptist Church hosts ‘People and Politics’

Some resolutions need work all year By Pastor Bill Forbes

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

ods, cell phones and TV/radio ads have their place in these post-modern times. They are no more evil in themselves than an axe, gun or a vehicle. The key is how all these things are utilized in our lives for good or for ill. The test of being a Christian does not include the question, “Do you own an iPod?” In the same way, simply being a member of a church, or being a preacher, does not make one a Christian. Christianity is faith in Jesus Christ, trusting His claim upon our lives as Savior and Lord, a claim involving not only a personal relationship with Him, but our life and service among others. In an age of news overkill and recorded ads, the “good news” of Christ’s gospel offers our hearts what they truly need to hear and to believe, and there can be no greater resolution for the new year than to discover what He has to say to us.

Should Christians be involved in the sinful, murky, nasty world of politics? The community is invited to “People and Politics” a half-day seminar being offered by First Baptist Church of Delta on Saturday, Jan. 9, starting at 9 a.m. The church is located at 1250 Pioneer Road. This free event will be engaging and interactive and prove to challenge even the most ardent political activitist. The central presenter is Troy Timmons of Evergreen, cousin to Pastor James Conley. Timmons has shared this seminar in other churches and his experience as a Washington, D.C. insider contributes to his colorful biography and presentation. He has worked as legislative director for former Congressman Dan Shaefer, as a professional liasion for the House Commerce Committee, and senior policy advisor to the

Secretary of the Department of Energy. Currently, Timmons is managing Policy Communications Colorado. In this seminar, he will explain American history and current law to clarify the Christian roots of our nation. He will provide the biblical foundation for political involvement and demonstrate how the Bible, through both exhortation and example, gives evidence for political action by people of faith. He will prove, by biblical text, that Christians have a responsibility to be a part of the political process in our nation. The seminar will conclude around noon with a question and answer period. Everyone is welcome to attend whatever your political beliefs or convictions. You can find out more by contacting the church office at 874-3847.
