Two council seats to be filled in April 6 election At the municipal election scheduled for April 6, Delta voters will elect two council members, one from District C and a council member at-large. Kay Carlquist currently holds the District C seat; Bill Seuell is the at-large council member. Both have said they are undecided about seeking re-election. Persons wishing to run for these positions must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years of age on the date of election, and a registered elector. Candidates must have resided continuously in the City of Delta for at least 12 consecutive months prior to their election. District C candidates must reside within that district; at-large candidates may reside anywhere within the city. Nomination petitions will be available from the city clerk, 360 Main Street, beginning Jan. 26. Signed petitions must be returned to the clerk’s office by 5 p.m. Feb. 16. Anyone desiring to vote in the upcoming election who has not registered to vote must do so by Monday, March 8. Register at the office of the county clerk and recorder at the Delta County Courthouse. The April 6 election will be conducted by mail ballot. For more information, contact city clerk Jolene Nelson at 874-7914.

Vandals start fires in city restrooms The city restrooms near Fort Uncompahgre were reportedly damaged when the toilet paper dispensers in both the men’s and women’s rooms were set on fire, causing the dispensers to melt. Damages are estimated about $250. This incident was reported shortly before 2 p.m. on Jan. 9. If you have information about this crime, call Crime Stoppers at 874-8810 or Delta Police Department at 874-7676.

Council sifts through 50+ manager resumes The Delta City Council will meet in executive session Tuesday, Jan. 19, to review the applications for city manager received by the deadline of Dec. 30. Mayor Mary Cooper said council members planned to meet with Fred Rainguet, a professional employment recruiter employed by the city, and try to narrow the list to fewer than 10. “There are some incredibly qualified applicants,” Cooper noted.

Modular home suffers fire and smoke damage A modular home located at 16401 Bull Mesa Road near Cedaredge suffered extensive fire and smoke damage Jan. 5. The Delta County Sheriff’s Office reports the home is owned by Jenny and Jeremiah Brooks but had been unoccupied since November. The home was for sale and the owners had just accepted an offer. The sheriff’s office said the blaze does not appear to be suspicious.

With millions of dollars on the line, the City of Delta strived to put its best foot forward Tuesday, Jan. 12, for a tour of the alternate truck route by five Department of Local Affairs staff members. “It’s our one chance to show this project off as a project that Delta is committed to and excited about doing,” assistant manager Steve Glammeyer said during a planning session with city council members last week. The city is one of seven communities in the running for energy and mineral impact funds to help fund the $26.8 million project. On Feb. 1, Glammeyer, several council members, assistant city manager Glen Black and citizen Gerald Roberts will travel to Denver for a formal presentation to the DOLA advisory board, which will then recommend how $17 million in grant funds should be allocated. “Feb. 1 is critical to our chance for funding, but this visit is just as critical,” Glammeyer said.

Fiery sunset The setting sun created a dramatic backdrop to Confluence Lake last week. The sun drops behind Uncompahgre Plateau a minute or two later each day. Although the days are getting longer, winter is keeping a firm grasp on western Colorado with daytime temperatures rarely topping the freezing mark.

GOCO awards $200,000 fairground grant By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The county has received notice of an up to $200,000 grant award it may use for purchase of property to expand the county fairgrounds in Hotchkiss. “I am pleased to inform you that the (Great Outdoor Colorado board) awarded funding for your project at a grant amount of up to $200,000,” the county was informed in a letter from GOCO last month. The county is negotiating for the possible purchase of additional property which has become available bordering the fairgrounds and which could be used for future expansion for parking and other needs. “What exactly will be done with this property if it is acquired is pretty much a blank slate at this

time,” said Jeff Emmons, assistant county administrator. A steering committee which created the county’s fairgrounds master plan document would be reactivated to look at future use of any additional property that is acquired. Emmons explained that the county’s grant request was favored by GOCO because if some additional property can be bought it will enable the fairgrounds to be expanded and upgraded in several areas identified as priorities in the “Delta County Fairgrounds 10-Year Vision Plan.” In 2008, the County Fair Board and the Commissioners approved a ten-year “vision plan” to guide future expansion and development at the fairgrounds. That document lists the following priorities for the fairgrounds facility:

• Additional site access from the east along Highway 92 and preservation of the historic arch on the Bridge Street entrance; • Improvements to drainage and utility infrastructure; • Update the concessions stand at the ball fields, and add and update rest room facilities there to include showers; • Upgrades to the equestrian facilities including new horse stalls and pull-through trailer parking; • Improvements to existing parking and realignment of the internal roadways; • Improve camping facilities with general utility upgrades and try to acquire river frontage or river access; • Make improvements to Heritage Hall with the addition of stor-

age, and with kitchen or warm-up kitchen facilities; • Construct RV parking sites with hook-ups for electricity and water; • Build new playground and park facilities, possibly to include a picnic pavilion, and; • Upgrades to the ball fields. The county has other GOCO grant money and matching funds in hand now to build the restroom/ shower facilities at the ball fields. Emmons said that construction of those additions will probably await a review of the steering committee as it reevaluated the ten year Vision Plan. He added that he doesn’t think it likely that the restroom/shower facilities currently planned would be altered or moved from the current proposed location.

Graduation rates continue upward trend By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

Graduation rates at Delta High School showed a dramatic improvement in 2008-09, topping 92 percent the first time in recent memory. The “completion” rate of 94.4 percent is even higher, and underscores a strong partnership with Delta Opportunity School, DHS principal Kurt Clay said. “Graduates” are those who receive an official diploma and graduate with their classmates. The completion rate incorporates those who earn GEDs, as well as students who have dropped out of school but re-enroll at Delta Opportunity School and earn a diploma. “We’re building a strong program, where kids who are at risk of not graduating can come,” said Delaine Hudson, principal of the Delta Opportunity School. Staff members work one-on-one with the students to develop a plan where they can successfully obtain a high school diploma. A handful of students are working on GEDs. That individualized attention is reflected on Delta High School’s completion rate. Instead of dropping out, the students can transfer to the Delta Opportunity School and continue their work in a non-traditional format which may dovetail better with work and family demands. “Our success goes hand in hand with Delta Opportunity School,” Clay said. “Delta High School is not the best place for every single student, so having the opportunity to ‘rescue’ some of those kids and teach them a little differently makes a huge differ-

ence.” Delta Opportunity School has a graduation rate of just 43 percent, but has seen that rate climb by double digits for the past four years. The school has also gone from serving 40 students to maxing out at 95. “We’re getting a lot of the kids we wouldn’t have gotten before,” Clay said. He also credits the high school counselors who meet with the seniors as many as five to seven times throughout the year to make sure they’re on track and getting the grades they need to graduate. In Delta County, Delta High School was one of seven schools with improved graduation rates. Two

schools, Hotchkiss High School and Paonia High School, declined but still

topped the district average of 86.2 percent.

Let’s look for realistic solutions to solve problems NOW Dear Editor: Have you ever been at the rec center in the middle of a great workout, then SLAM this pounding intrusive “music” starts beating, people on spin whooping and hollering. Can’t hear your own music at max volume, can’t keep your rhythm cause the techno beat reverberates through your body. How about trying to do stretches or use the free weights or mats in the spin area. A simple wall stretch requires moving one or two bikes for three linear feet of space. Nastiness ensues if you just happen to be in that space and one of the spinners comes in to mark their bike for class. Even if riding bike is all about the fit, seriously ... do you really have to stare me down to move a foot so you can put your towel and water bottle on your chosen bike an hour before class? Markings can be found even four hours before spin class. Fortu-

nately other mammalian means of marking haven’t been seen. And sometimes as a courtesy to the bike markers, they turn the music on early so they can get warmed up. Joys extra half hour of pounding rhythm. So, 20 bikes, several hours a week governs the entire community’s use of the mat area 100 percent of the time, and intrudes on an entire workout room during those times. Hmmm. What do you guess the average age of the avid cardio room user is? Let’s see, I’m 50, my buddy is 37, and what I see around me is ages mostly 30s to 70s in the cardio area. Now, I love rock and roll, but I would suppose that my fellows sharing this room would vote with me that techno slam is not our music genre. I had the opportunity to speak with Wilma, the director, the other evening after being blasted out of the cardio area for the above reason. Her response to

the problem was, “We’re working on it. We’re trying to build on.” Now, I’m not all about the whine, I’m about fixing the problem. Here’s a few suggestions. 1. Move the bikes into their own area, leave three or four bikes for those of us who really need the bike for our workout. I really don’t think we need 20. 2. Delta County Memorial Hospital has a beautiful new annex building with several meeting areas and a newer larger room that had even been used once for our hospital Christmas party in an unfinished state. People probably wouldn’t get too excited about inviting a friend to the quilting group at the hospital. What! How about, “Let’s go square dancing at the hospital!” Let’s rename that very expensive and nicely done building, and make good use of it while accommodating our thriving community. How about “The Lifelink Center.” Yes, they treat oncology patients there ... what a wonderful space to encourage life and nourish those of us who choose to thrive to the best of our ability, no matter who we are. 3. Use the back rooms where meetings presently take place at Bill Heddles for the spin class and dance class. It’s big enough to divide, and a wall of mirrors would certainly cost less than a multi-million dollar new building. Stop with the bigger picture. Get real city government, and take care of your people now, not when you have millions of dollars in your pocket to make you look big and special. Wait until the funds become available, when the people of the community have steady jobs and income that can fairly be taxed for the good. Then talk about a way cool Delta pavilion or rec center expansion. Don’t make us wait for your glory moment. No, it’s not just the spin class, it’s the lack of initiative of this city government to take care of the people’s concerns in simple, realistic ways. If you don’t like my ideas, please round table some of your own. Woohoo! Yeah! Push it! (Dubbed from spin class.) Deanna McCoy Delta

A little piece of Art Dear Editor: Since living in Delta, I tried never to miss saying good morning to Art. He swept sidewalks in town so I got to see him often. I always received the most enthusiastic “Good morning” in return. Art wasn’t just a street sweeper, he was the very best. He cared about his work and was very diligent. Now I see people with leaf blowers. Well, it’s just not the same. In Delta, we have presidents, VIPs, directors, managers, owners, etc. But I would wager that none of “us” will ever have a mural painted in our honor. Wherever you may be Art, please save me a cigarette and a cup of coffee. I would be so honored to join you. Rita Carr Delta

DPD officers, chief step up to resolve dangerous situation Dear Editor: I live near the corner of 1550 Road and G 96 Lane, which is a tricky corner year-round but gets terribly dangerous when it’s icy and slick. In the past, this wasn’t really such a problem because Delta County plowed, graveled and maintained the roads so diligently. All of that stopped when we were annexed into the City of Delta. Well, it snowed again on New Year’s Eve and the roads were icy and slick. Of course, the city did not plow or sand. At 9:30 a.m., the first car slides off the road into a ditch; the young woman calls for help and gets pulled out. Mid-afternoon the second car slides into the same ditch. This time police officers came to investigate. They called the city road crew to report the dangerous conditions of this corner and requested the road be sanded. Pretty soon two men in a city pickup show up with a bag of salt and a plastic coffee can. They scatter a bit of salt around

the cones to the middle of the road and made it a little better. Later in the day, Officer Lyninger and Sgt. Lamb returned, along with Chief Robert Thomas. I’m sure they must have called for sand again but, no, the City of Delta was having none of that. The police chief and police officers left, but soon returned with the animal control pickup loaded with large buckets of sand. They shoveled and sanded the entire corner by hand, by themselves. Problem solved! After all that, all I can say is that we are very fortunate to have a police chief and officers that are willing to go the extra mile the way they did. They were truly concerned about people’s safety, performing as public servants, and doing the right thing — even when others were not. I would like to say a special thanks to these men. Your good work is greatly appreciated. Dale W. Suckow Delta

‘Con artists’ like Bennet are destroying this country Dear Editor: At a town hall meeting in Delta Jan. 2, Senator Michael Bennet started out the meeting by stating why he voted for the health care bill and making such unrealistic statements as it will add 31 million more people to the (already failing) Medicare system while cutting cost by $1.5 trillion. It was pointed out to him that to do this requires an additional cut in Medicare of $400 billion and the further cutting of doctors fees by 21 percent all while adding 31 million more clients to an already bankrupt Medicare system. This will surely result in massive health care rationing i.e. death panels. John Copper who has over 10 years in management in the health care field pointed out that the hospitals already are barely making it. Many participants stated he was misrepresenting the cost of health care and would further suck the life blood out of the economy. John Copper and others including Nelson Scott and Barb Hulet mentioned that the Constitution does not empower Congress to provide health care and asked him what gives him the authority to force people to pay for insurance. He stated that the Interstate Commerce Clause provides the authorization that is, of course, a gross misuse of that part of the Constitution. Roger Bentley made the point that he is not insured but that Bennet is going to force him to buy insurance against his will or go to jail. If the feds can do this then there is no limit as to what it can require citizens to do with their private funds. This makes a travesty of the original reason for the founding the country i.e. protection of individual unalienable rights. Another lady stated why not tort reform; create competition by allowing insurance companies to operate across state lines. Anoth-

Say no to more government intrusion Dear Editor: On Jan. 2, Senator Michael Bennet held audience with a standing-room-only cross-section group of Delta residents. Most concerns addressed the health care issue and its many pages of STUFF. The senator told us that he voted for the bill, and he was considering his three children’s futures. He told us that he did not like or support the pork and the last minute high dollar deals that were pushed through in the waning hours. Will his children like these pork and high dollar deals? Many folks asked the senator how the bill will help them. Medicare and Medicaid are already regulated by our federal and state governments. Are the banks and some automobile companies bearing the weight of

and leave. Then again, just after dark, another city pickup arrives and a man with an ice cream bucket and a plastic coffee can throws a few more handfuls of salt (still no sand). The next morning, I get up to find that someone has run a car through my chain link fence. (Of course they didn’t bother to come to the door but just snuck off.) I called in and Officer Lyninger gets called out to our area yet again. He was clearly a little upset that the city had still not sanded this corner — even after he had called it in the day before. He performs his investigation for the report, calls it in again and leaves. A while later, two men in a city pickup came and put orange cones and barrels cross the corner. (Still no sand —not even a coffee can full.) Let the fun begin! People were now forced closer toward the ditch and ice to get around the barriers or they’re getting stuck trying to turn around. Finally a neighbor went out and pushed

the heavy hand of government? Questions of constitutionality of our government’s actions were raised and the senator weaseled around the Constitution. Keep in mind we had proponents and opponents in the audience, and mostly citizens who wanted to learn. It is my understanding that the health care bill is designed to save us from ourselves. I asked Senator Bennet, “When did the United States of America become a noncapitalistic and competitive society?” And I asked him, “What other free enterprise businesses are we going to lose to government control?” My health care is my business! Let us say NO to more government intrustion in our lives. God bless America. Roger W. Bentley Delta County

er person complained about the enormous increase in the debt since Obama was elected which Bennet blamed on Bush. Another person said it is unconscionable to force a person who believes abortion is murder to fund it via their tax dollars. She asked that Bennet make sure that there is no abortion subsidy. Another pointed out that we are subsidizing the immigration of Hamas to this country from the Gaza strip and handed Bennet the proof. Bennet got earful after earful from the jam-packed room where people even lined the walls. At the end it was so overwhelming he dismissed his town hall with “this is Delta.” To be fair a few prominent Democrats were there. They were just inundated by the vast majority of apparently conservative Delta County residents. The administration with Bennet’s help lies, manipulates and

deceives about health care, lies about energy independence, lies about man-caused global warming, lies about unemployment, lies about GDP which has now been revised downward twice from 3.5 to 2.8 to 2.2 percent as they further savage the economy and destroy trust and confidence in the American dollar worldwide. There is a pattern of deliberate lying and deceit headed by the Great Deceiver Obama. I am angry yes, because I don’t like being lied to or taken as a fool and I am greatly offended by the deliberate destruction of this country by these con artists. Those are strong reasons for strong emotions. I can’t wait and can only hope that the American people throw these “useful idiots,” to coin a Soviet term, out in the November elections. Mike Mason Cedaredge

Kudos Dear Editor: Big heartfelt thanks to the generous residents of Cedaredge and surrounding areas who participated in the recent Christmas dinner! What a treat to learn that Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado would be a recipient of donations collected during the event. Thanks especially to Jack and Bev Gardner for coordinating this wonderful tradition and giving so generously to Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado in Delta County. The need is huge; Delta County is currently serving 60 to 70 patients per day in their homes, nursing homes, hospitals; whatever the patient prefers. An incredible team of nurses, CN’s, chaplains, social workers and volunteers give their time and talent every day to make the hospice experience as comfortable as possible. Again, thank you to a wonderful community of folks who understand the importance of this organization and the role they play in Delta County. Lynn Shirk Hospice & Palliative Care of Western Colorado Dear Editor: I am writing on behalf of the children and families served by our non-profit, Families Plus, to thank everyone who contributed to the success of our annual drive to donate Christmas presents for disadvantaged children. Despite the terrible economy with so many of our friends and neighbors out of work or working for reduced wages, the people of Delta County once again proved why this is such a wonderful place to live as we were able to make sure that none of the children that we serve had a Christmas without a gift. I want to thank all the people who purchased a gift from the angel trees we had placed around the county. I also want to thank the people at Kwiki Tire, Bank of the West and City Market in Delta, and the people at First State Bank of Hotchkiss and Paonia State Bank for hosting our angel trees and taking valuable time away from work to help with this project. I also want to thank Domino’s Pizza in Delta for donating the food we served our parents at the gift-wrapping session. I especially want to thank those individuals who, as time grew short and a number of gift requests remained unfulfilled on some of our trees, scooped up all of them and purchased gifts for many children at once. In times like these, with so many issues present that can divide us politically, socially and financially, it is indeed heart-warming and encouraging to see the community come together, to make sure that the true spirit of Christmas continues to thrive. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you so very much for your generosity and for making Delta County the wonderful place that it is. Brenda K. Holland, Ph.D. Executive Director Families Plus

tion costs will never be lower, and the project itself will have a major economic impact on the city, even if the truck route has to be completed in phases. Glammeyer highlighted the fact that the project meets five of the seven “sustainability criteria” established by DOLA. “The federal government isn’t going to come and save us, and this is a good, valuable project with so many benefits to it. I think we should go forward,” Sheriff said. “When I heard the 30-year bonding, I thought oh my goodness — 30 years!” Gerald Roberts, a member of Citizens for A Safer Downtown, said. “But when we did the rec center I thought the same thing with 20 years. Now you look back and it doesn’t seem that long. I think we need to go forward with this regardless of the [grant] outcome if there’s any possibility whatsoever. “I think this is an opportunity to dream again and hope like hell.”

Pilot courtesy car considered too expensive for the county By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The county commissioners have decided that this won’t be the year for taking on the additional expense of helping provide a “courtesy car” for visiting pilot use at the North Fork Airport. The county’s Airport Advisory Board had endorsed the idea of county support for a North Fork Airport courtesy vehicle. One is provided for visiting pilots at Blake Field. Pilots who fly in to the facility when the airport office is closed may use the vehicle to get to restaurants, lodging, meetings, or other nearby destinations during their visit here.

But commissioners felt that under the current economic climate, the estimated $800 to $900-per-year cost of liability insurance on a North Fork Airport courtesy vehicle was too much to take on. “I think that we just can’t do it this year,” said Commissioner Jan McCracken. “We are in tough times and it would be a new expense that we just can’t justify.” Commissioners Olen Lund and Bruce Hovde were in agreement that the expense was not put in this year’s budget and shouldn’t be included now. The county last year entered into a formal agreement with the Town of Paonia, 75 percent owner of the airport, that spells out both local government’s responsibilities for sharing costs and operational responsibilities at the airport. A new airport manager and fixed base operator, Mike Clawson who is the son of former FBO and airport manager the late Richard Clawson, has taken up the reins of day-to-day oversight. While the county and town begin to move forward on their new agreement for airport management, commissioners also expressed the view that the airport courtesy vehicle could become a topic of discussion for all parties involved with handling airport issues — the commissioners, the town, FBO, Airport Advisory Board, and county administration — to decide on jointly. The town might be able to justify the expense of the vehicle as an economic development investment that could bring some business into the town from visiting pilots patronizing restaurants and other businesses there, the commissioners said. The commissioners broached

Subdivision dispute headed for state appeals court By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The Board of County Commissioners was informed earlier this month that a Rogers Mesa subdivision dispute in which the county prevailed in district court will be carried forward on appeal. Assistant county attorney Christine Knight told the BoCC that the district court’s decision on High Valley Subdivision will be taken to the Colorado Court of Appeals by developer Jeanette VanDenBerg. The Delta District Court ruled on Nov. 9 in favor of the county commissioners. VanDenBerg had complained that the board abused its discretion when it approved her subdivision plan but placed restrictions on the number of lots allowed and the configuration of the lots. Knight told the BoCC on Jan. 4 that VanDenBerg is carrying her appeal forward on “abuse of discretion” issues similar to the ones heard in the district court case. In other business during their Jan 4 regular meeting, the commissioners dealt with the following matters: • The board approved a transfer of ownership liquor license for the Electric Mountain Lodge north of Paonia. New owners from the Roaring Fork Valley bought the facility last year and have said they hired professional managers to run the business, which in the future will operate under a slightly different name: Electric Mountain Resort. • County clerk and recorder Ann Eddins told the commissioners that this year’s primary election will be conducted by mail ballot. The mail ballot process is viewed as an effective

PG-13

and cost-saving way to conduct elections, and this will be the first primary election in county and state history to be conducted by mail ballot. Eddins reports that she has scheduled a public meeting to discuss the election process. The meeting is set for Thursday, Jan 28, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Room 234 at the county courthouse.

• Commissioners were notified of an idea being discussed that would result in a cutback in hours at the county planning department in light of the slowdown in real estate and development activity. • The commissioners accepted with conditions a petition to form a Public Improvement District, the first in Delta County.

County real estate sales figures presented during a Delta County Economic Development meeting on Dec. 10 were incorrect, a local realtor reports.

one other idea on the topic. Each fiscal quarter the Blake Field FBO provides the county with a detailed report of activity there. The report includes the number of flights in to the facility, types of aircraft, number of aircraft based locally, the amount of revenue from fuel sales and hangar rental, and other details of the operation. But the county does not get a similar report from the North Fork Airport. In order to possibly help in the future to justify a new expenses like the courtesy car, the commissioners suggested that the county administration be supplied with an activity report similar to the one it gets from Blake Field every quarter so commissioners know what level of activity the North Fork Airport is experiencing, and so they can better decide whether the expense of a courtesy car there can be justified. The commissioners finally decided that a county-owned 1993 Ford Taurus that had been suggested for use as the North Fork Airport’s courtesy car would instead be included with eight other surplus county vehicles in a consignment to the annual Varner Equipment Auction that will be held on Saturday, Jan 23. The county had previously consigned its surplus vehicles to an auction held in Montrose.

He outlined the agenda for the two-hour tour, which was to include introductions by Mayor Mary Cooper, a PowerPoint presentation by Glammeyer, and comments from several speakers who addressed the importance of the project. Delta County Commissioner Jan McCracken was to talk about the history of the project. Economic development and revitalization was the focus of DCED director Deana Sheriff, chamber director Linda Sanchez and realtor John Renfrow. Public safety was addressed by Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee, Delta Police Chief Robert Thomas, Delta County Ambulance District director Doug Laufer, fire chief Adam Suppes, and Jolene Nelson, a city employee/citizen who shared the difficulty she had getting a family member to the hospital when a train was blocking the highway. Four school buses cross the railroad tracks twice a day, a fact that was shared by school district spokesperson John Jones. A rep-

resentative from one of the three coal mines in the North Fork Valley detailed the importance of the coal industry to Delta County, and explained how he’d like to see some of the energy and mineral impact fees they pay come back to the community through the grant. After the presentations, Glammeyer planned to lead a tour of the project beginning at the intersection of Hwy. 50 and Gunnison River Drive and extending south to the Stockyards Restaurant. Council members spent the remainder of the hour-long work session reviewing a spreadsheet which outlines five scenarios for funding the project using a combination of grant funds and bond proceeds. They recognize it’s likely the $17 million will be spread among two or three of the most worthy projects, so they briefly addressed the consequences of partial or no grant funding. Although other capital improvement projects may have to be delayed, everyone agreed that interest rates and construc-

in custody since July. He and his wife are charged with sexual assault against an at-risk adult. Defense attorney Diane Allen argued that while Dalton has been in custody on a $150,000 bond, his co-defendant was released shortly after her arrest. That’s because she was very cooperative and eight months pregnant, deputy district attorney Sherri Price pointed out. Allen said she and the deputy district attorney are very close to an agreement which will drop the “at-risk” component of the charge and result in probation for Dalton. In the meantime, Greenacre said he would deny any reduction in bond until safeguards have been established to ensure Dalton’s behavior is not repeated.

tree board and helped with the planting of the trees that now line Main Street. He spent several years delighting children of all ages playing Santa. He was always in the middle of Deltarado Days no matter if he was on a float or pulling one. Ove was highly involved with the senior citizen center. For many years he appealed to city council for restrooms in downtown Delta, which earned him the nickname “Toilet Joe.” An open house celebration is planned to honor Ove on his 100th birthday. The party will be held Wednesday, Jan. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Ove loves to visit with friends and family members and share a story or two. Cake and ice cream will be served.

Discover the magic of pinhole photography Images exist everywhere in our culture. Daily we view photographs in books, on the TV, on signs, in newspapers and magazines. Technology has made photography achievable instantaneously with the touch of a button; however it is not often that people know how the physics of photography works. Pinhole Photography provides a fun and exciting opportunity to study the basic principles of photography. Images created from pinhole cameras are a wonderful combination of creative whim and science, creating dreamlike photographs. In a day-long class with Weehawken, students will build their own cameras using everyday materials such as boxes, brass shim and needles. The afternoon will be spent photographing with our creations, then developing images. The instructor for this workshop is Shauna Tewksbury. Tewksbury received a degree in fine art photography from Prescott College, where she studied historical processes and large format photography. Shauna enjoys teaching photography classes and sharing her excitement for the unlimited ways in which people can create photographic images. This workshop will run a full-

day on Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Ridgway. It is a class that will allow beginning-level students, ages teen through adult. The cost of the workshop ranges from $102 for Weekawken members to $113 for non-member who enroll and pay by Jan. 22. The cost is $125 after Jan. 22. More information on the winter/spring 2010 schedule of arts classes with Weehawken as well as the minimal supply list for “Pinhole Camera and Photography” and further details on this workshop can be found on Weehawken’s website at www. weehawkenarts.org or by calling Ashley King at (970) 318-0150.

Orchard City Though most of the orchards are long gone and there never was a city, Delta County’s second largest municipality is still home to producing agriculture, and also to expansive, large lot residential areas, scenic vistas, blue skies, and generous open spaces that create a graceful sense of leisurly rural lifestyles. The snow covered Raggeds are seen in the distance from this viewpoint along 2100 Road.

subsurface acres of federal mineral estate in Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, San Miguel, Gunnison and Delta counties managed by the BLM. The revisions are necessary because the demands on these public lands have increased and uses have become more varied since the original plans were completed in 1985 and 1989. An environmental impact statement will be developed during the planning process. In this first opportunity for public comment, called “scoping,” the BLM is asking the public to help identify issues to be addressed in the plan revisions, as well as offer potential solutions. “Public involvement is critical to crafting a land use plan that reflects local, regional and national values,” said Uncompahgre field manager Barb Sharrow. “Scoping is only the first of many instances that we’ll seek public input as part of this planning effort.” The scoping period runs through Feb. 26. Six open house meetings will be held in local communities. The public is encouraged to visit, speak with BLM employees, learn more about the planning process and major issues, and share their comments and concerns. Open houses will be held: Wednesday, Jan. 13 — Bill Heddles Recreation Center, 530 Gunnison River Drive, Delta, 4:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14 — Montrose Pavilion, 1800 Pavilion Drive, 4:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19 — Community Center at Ridgway Town Hall, 201 N Railroad Street, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 20 — Com-

The public may also comment on the preliminary planning criteria, which help guide the planning process. The Gunnison Gorge and Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Areas are excluded from this planning effort. The management plan for the Gunnison Gorge NCA was completed in 2004. The newly designated Dominguez-Escalante NCA RMP process will begin early next year. It is not necessary to attend an open house in order to submit scoping comments to the BLM. For further information about the planning process, visit our Land Use Planning webpage at www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo/ uncompahgre_rmp.html, or contact the project manager Bruce Krickbaum at (970) 240-5300.

School Accreditation Did You Know? Delta County School District receives accreditation from the Colorado Department of Education and the district has made dramatic improvements in the last three years. The accreditation score went from 60.9% in 2007, 68.8% in 2008 to 71.0% in 2009. These scores put the district in the upper portion of the “Full Accreditation” category in the state rankings. We only need 4 more points to be recognized with “Accreditation Distinction”. This district has full CDE accreditation through the summer of 2014.

Myth Buster Accreditation is largely based upon achievement test scores.

Seminar on energy grants for rural businesses The U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Rural Development will present a seminar on renewable energy and energy efficiency grants on Friday, Feb. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the DMEA office in Montrose. The focus is on grants and loans for business energy efficiency and renewable energy projects for rural small businesses, farmers and ranchers. The seminar is not applicable to residential, governmental or nonprofit agency projects. Bring your own “brown bag” lunch for a working lunch program. Space is limited, and people must RSVP to attend. Call USDA Rural Development at 874-5735, ext. 130, to register.

This statement is True! There are actually 5 different percentage scores that add points for accreditation. They are CSAP score growth over time, closing of achievement gaps, post secondary readiness, finance and school safety and the education improvement plan. Out of the 80 points possible, 70 are related to CSAP and ACT scores! Thus, test scores are critical to the district’s positive accreditation status. The district used a similar method to extend accreditation to individual schools. We would like to congratulate the following Delta County Schools for attaining “Accreditation Distinction”; Lincoln Elementary, Delta Academy of Applied Learning, Crawford Elementary and the North Fork Community Montessori School. Parents and citizens can log on to our web site at www.deltaschools.com for more information about school district accreditation and student achievement.

A pursuit involving the Colorado State Patrol, Bureau of Land Management, Olathe Police Department and sheriff’s deputies from Delta and Montrose counties resulted in the arrest of Michael Purcell, 37, and Paul Moore, 41. A black Dodge Durango which had been reported stolen from Commerce City on Jan. 7 was also recovered. The pursuit began Jan. 10 at about 3:15 p.m. when Trooper Cory Williams of the Colorado State Patrol attempted to stop a Dodge Durango which was traveling northbound on Hwy. 50 at 95 miles an hour just north of Olathe. As Trooper Williams activated his emergency lights the vehicle made a right turn onto Amber Road and began to accelerate eastbound in an attempt to elude the trooper. The vehicle continued eastbound at a high rate of speed, through the intersection of Amber and 6000 Road, and then began driving off road. The trooper continued to follow the vehicle for about two miles off road until the Durango crashed into an irrigation canal and the occupants took off onfoot. Other troopers, sheriff’s deputies, the Olathe Police Department and the BLM responded to assist in the ground search. One

suspect was located by Trooper Pat Averett lying in a small ditch. The pilot of a helicopter which is occasionally employed by the Montrose County Sheriff’s Posse located the second suspect and hovered overhead until Deputy Daniel Abeyta and Deputy Norman Dishaw of the Delta County Sheriff’s Office could get to his location and place him under arrest. Both were taken into custody without incident. Drug paraphernalia was allegedly found in the vehicle. Attached to the Durango was a temporary license plate which had been reported stolen in the Grand Junction area on Jan. 9. Both suspects were taken to the Montrose County Jail and booked on numerous charges.

Ford SUV reported stolen from Delta home A 2000 white Ford Excursion was reported stolen from a home on B Road. The vehicle is owned by Leann Vouma, who reported the theft at about 10:30 a.m. Jan. 6. The Excursion was taken sometime after 10:30 p.m. the previous night.

J80 Road. The driver lost control of the vehicle on the sanded icy road and went into the eastbound lane and spun clockwise for 160 feet. The 2001 Chevrolet Tracker SUV Spangler was driving then went off the right side of the roadway 28 feet and collided with the hillside and rolled one-quarter time on to its left side. The SUV came to a stop off the roadway on its left side facing north. The vehicle received moderate to severe damage. Spangler was discovered by a passerby who notified 911. The Hotchkiss Fire District extricated the driver, who was transported to Delta County Memorial Hospital by North Fork Ambulance. She has since been released from the hospital. Colorado State Patrol reports the accident took place on J80 Road at J Road last Monday at 10:20 a.m. Spangler was driving the posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. The driver was wearing a shoulder restraint and seat belt. The air bag did deploy.

For the first two years of its existence High Country News was called, “Camping News Weekly.” It was founded by Tom Bell, a rancher in Lander, Wyo. It included folksy features like “Camper of the Week.” The focus was on camping, fishing, hunting, skiing, boating, swimming and other similar topics. Then in mid-1970, Bell changed the name to High Country News. That led to a change in editorial content as well. Over the years there were further changes. Its format went from a weekly newspaper to a bi-weekly magazine. Subscriptions have swelled nationally and even internationally to 24,000. They also have Internet-only subscribers who never receive a print copy in the mail. Approximately 75,000 visitors read articles online. Adding to those numbers, are the syndicated columns and news stories distributed by the magazine to See High Country News, Page 2B

HIGH COUNTRY NEWS, PUBLISHED in Paonia, has evolved over the last 40 years from a weekly newspaper about outdoor activities in the West to a polished magazine that reaches 24,000 subscribers. Covers from 2009 show the diversity of topics tackled by the magazine’s staff writers, freelancers and editors.

Friends of the Paonia Library recently presented a check for $3,000 to the library to fund the purchase of books and other library materials. The money will help make up for a budget shortfall incurred by the Delta County Library District when 2009 tax revenues fell below anticipated levels. The stated purpose of the Friends of the Library organization is to provide financial aid, volunteers and other support to the local library. Funding is typically provided each year for library materials, programs, equipment, and the building project. Anyone who loves the library may become a member of the Friends. A general membership meeting and election of officers will be held in January. A membership form will be mailed out to

all addresses in Paonia and Somerset in February. Please contact the Paonia Library at 527-3470

Hotchkiss girl places 6th in National Junior Olympics By Kami Collins Staff Writer

Though she doesn’t talk much about it, Natalie AndersonCoats recently achieved a pretty impressive record — sixth place in cross-country in the 2009 National Junior Olympics Track and Field Championships. The national competition was

held Dec. 12 in Reno, Nev. Natalie ran the 2.4-mile race on a track packed with snow. During her race, the wind was blowing so hard, she couldn’t see more than 10 feet in front of her. The weather slowed her down some; her sixth place-winning time was 15:30. She ran against 293 girls in the 13/14-year-old category.

“I was proud of my finish but I know in better conditions I could have done better,” Natalie said. Because she finished in the top 20, she’s considered an All American athlete. Her best ever time was achieved at the regional competition in El Paso, Texas in late November. There she placed second with a time of 14:28. She competed against girls from all over Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Utah in that competition. “It was exciting to be the first Colorado runner in, and I was only 3 seconds behind the win-

ner, who was from Utah,” she said. Natalie worked hard for her accomplishment. She trained five days a week with a coach, running hills and sprints. On the weekend, she ran 5K’s with her mom, also a competitive runner, on the back roads around their home. She cross-trained on weekends too, by practicing her basketball skills. She trained on her own — mom and dad never once had to nag her to practice. “Natalie is truly a remarkable young lady,” said her mother, Carrie. “She is my hero. I have never seen a child with so much

dedication, commitment, perseverance and love in my whole life, and I am proud that she is my kid.” Natalie has been running competitively since she was 10 years old. She joined Girls on the Run, which is a running club for girls in grades 3-6. The club trains for a race held each year in Grand Junction. The first time she ran in that race she placed second. “I really liked running competitively, and I just kept doing it,” she said. She also competed in the 2008 National Junior Olympics, where she placed 33rd in the same category. She’s run in the Bolder Boulder twice, and has plans, with her mom, to run in an upcoming Race for the Cure. Running is something she plans to continue with for the long haul. She wants to be an Olympian one day. Natalie, the daughter of Carrie and JP Coats of Hotchkiss and Gary Anderson of Delta, is an

other publications. All told, High Country News articles can reach a million readers a year. Now in 2010, High Country News is celebrating its 40th year of bringing news of the West to its readership. It continues to be hard-hitting and provocative according to Paul Larmer, executive director. Their mission as a non-profit 501(c)(3) independent media organization is “to inform and inspire people to act on behalf of the West’s land, air, water and inhabitants, and to create what Wallace Stegner called ‘a society to match the scenery.’” Editorially this year staff will be tackling environmental justice in the West. They will look at the evolution of the environmental movement. Motorized recreation on public lands is another issue receiving federal and local attention. Water is a traditional issue. There is a network of writers who create the magazine, one-half are freelancers and the rest are on staff. The mix of articles cover policy issues, ecological concerns, environmental and social stories. The stories are based in the West because that is where significant public lands are found. “The one thing that has not changed is our feeling that indepth storytelling still has a place in the modern media,” Larmer shared. “We want to continue to produce stories that you need to sit down to read. But you are going to come away from reading those stories with a much deeper understanding,” Larmer said. “Reading High Country News is getting an education in the West.” Sometimes the editors step outside the line of natural resources. For example they did a story on 30,000 Fiji islanders in Utah. “It

was a distinctly western story,” Larmer said. “We are not just an environmental magazine anymore, even though the environment remains our core beat. We reflect the conservation movement as a whole. Environmentalist and conservationists have learned over the years that if they want to get bills passed, if they want to accomplish something on the ground, they have to collaborate with people with different perspectives. They need to understand economics. They need to understand politics, social culture.” Larmer summed it up by stating, “Our readers want to understand the context in which these issues play out.” It’s important for High Country News to be based in the rural west, because the staff sees these issues happening right before them. “The eclectic community in North Fork Valley is reflective of the West we are trying to cover,” Larmer said accurately describing Paonia and the surrounding communities. Readers take delight in stopping by for a visit of the High Country News offices in Paonia to see for themselves where this landmark magazine is produced. “When people call, they get us. Not Indiana. Not India,” Larmer emphasized during a tour of the offices. Part of the stability at High Country News is the continuity of staff. Larmer said despite the economic downturn which resulted in a sharp decline in donations last fall, things are improving. An appeal was written with the help of Tom Bell, The result is one-quarter of their readers give beyond their subscription rates to the magazine’s Research Fund. After Larmer and managers met during that rough spell, some staff hours were trimmed and belts tightened, but the staff was retained. That included some who have worked there for many years. Betsy Marston has been there over 25 years. She now handles the syndication service distributing three columns a week and news stories to 75 clients, including the Denver Post. Art director Cindy Wehling has been at High Country News since 1991. Circulation manager Kathy Martinez has been there more than 16 years. Paul Larmer heard about High Country News when he worked with an environmental group in Washington, D.C. in 1982 and 1983. Members read the magazine for its depth and quality information about the West. In 1984 he started a four-year internship with High Country News which was then run by Ed and Betsy Marston. He stayed in touch with the Marstons, and was rehired in 1992 as an assistant editor, and now is the executive director. Jonathan Thompson has worked four years at the magazine, two as editor. The editorial staff at High Country News includes five editors, one copy editor, one senior editor, Ray Ring in Bozeman, Montana, and three contributing editors.

Adding to mix of staff abilities at the magazine, are the interns which Larmer praises for bringing multiple skills other than writing. Their knowledge of software, other talents and expertise are valuable assets. “We’ve been thinking a lot about how to reach people with our journalism,” Larmer said. “We made some significant changes to our web site last year. We are realizing now that was the first round of improvement. You have to make continual improvements to your website.” They are planning to produce more video, multimedia, audio slide shows and pod casts on their website. With its budget of nearly $2 million a year, High Country News continues to bring the real West with all its beauty, blemishes, challenges and promises to the world.

Delta girls beat GS, lose in Rifle By Wayne Crick DCI Sports Writer

After posting Delta High School’s first win in girls’ basketball over Glenwood Springs in a long while, the Lady Panthers fell to Rifle’s Bears the next afternoon. Delta defeated the Lady Demons 58-44 on Friday (Jan. 8) and lost a 79-44 decision to Rifle on Saturday. The split in games leaves Delta with a 2-4 record overall and 1-1 in league play. Against Glenwood Springs, Jenni Jones had the best night

of her high school career with 25 points to lead the Panthers to what may be their first win over Glenwood ever. A check in the archives is underway to ascertain that possibility. Delta jumped to an early seven-point lead in the opening quarter and finished the half with a 33-19 lead. Katie Kahrs gave the Lady Panthers a shot in the arm with a pair of treys early and finished with eight points in the first period. Jones and Skylyn Webb had six points each in the second frame.

Delta stretched its lead by three more points in the third quarter and survived a furious three-point shootout by the Lady Demons in the fourth to win by 14. Glenwood scorched the nets for 16 points in the final stanza with four of those shots falling from beyond the three-point arc. Jones’ 25 counters led all scorers in the game with teammate Webb contributing 14 to the win. McKenzie Kuhn had 20 points to lead Glenwood. On Saturday, Rifle’s Bears

got started early and shocked the Lady Panthers with a 21-14 firstquarter run. Courtney Cordova scored 11 of her game-high 37 points in the period. Rifle continued to run the floor and take advantage of Delta miscues and missed shots to post a 39-23 halftime lead. The Bears put the icing on the cake with a 26-6 run in the third quarter as they coasted to their WSL win. Jones’ 11 points led Delta’s offense with Kahrs next with nine markers and Webb’s seven.

Jesse Hotchkiss scored 14, Dakota Coats managed 13 points, and Pat Sullivan scored 12. Kenai Panish added two points to the scoreboard. Hotchkiss managed to outscore the Titans in all but the

Paonia girls edge Montrose JV; dismantle Vail Christian By Tamie Meck DCI Sports Writer

The Lady Eagles increased their record by two this week, bringing their overall record to 8-1. Despite that, head coach Scott Rienks is being cautious and knows that the team still has areas it needs to improve upon in order to make the playoffs. Regarding Thursday’s 48-42 win over the Montrose Indians’ JV, Rienks admitted his team didn’t play up to its ability. “The press worked well,” he said, “but the team didn’t convert well, had a high turnover rate, and missed some layups, among other things. Montrose played better defense this game,” he added. But, Paonia adjusted well for the second half, allowing the younger players some court time. Grayson Pipher led the Lady Eagles in scoring with 19 points. Pipher started the new year with a 15.1 points per game average. Jordyn Rienks scored 11, and averages 11.6 points per game.

DELTA’S KATIE KAHRS GETS off a shot against a Glenwood Springs defensive player last Friday night in Delta. The Lady Panthers scored a 58-44 win against Glenwood. Delta traveled to Rifle on Saturday where they were unable to handle the Lady Bear’s pressure defense and lost a 79-44 decision in WSL play.

The Hotchkiss Lady Bulldogs won Friday’s night’s game against Coal Ridge, 57-45. Hotchkiss, playing to a large home crowd, got off to a strong start, outscoring the Titans 15-5 in the first quarter. The Titans never caught up. After taking three weeks off for winter break, the team came back fairly strong, said head coach Josh Kasper. CeCe Pieper led the scoring with 19, including two 3-pointers. Amy Miller also shot a 3-pointer, and scored 15 points in all. Erin Jones and Sarah Koontz both put

eight points on the scoreboard, with Renea Ranch scoring five and Amanda Barnes two. Hotchkiss out-played and outscored the Lady Rams at Carbondale Saturday, winning 52-26 keeping the Rams in single-digit scoring throughout the game. The most points Hotchkiss allowed in a quarter was eight, with the Rams scoring only four in the third. Pieper’s strong offensive play resulted in 19 points, with seven other players scoring in the single digits. Dusty Curtis and Amanda Barnes each scored three points by nailing the team’s only 3-pointers of the game. Koontz, Brandy Dutton and Miller each added six to

the scoreboard, with Ranch adding five and Sydney Carville four. Hotchkiss was also 10 of 12 in the freethrow department. The win brings Hotchkiss’ record to 3-1 in league play. With seven seniors “all playing pretty good,” and the younger players getting a lot of experience on the court, coach Kasper feels optimistic for the remainder of the season. The Lady Bulldogs travel this Friday to play the Grand Valley Cardinals (6-2 overall) at 5:30 p.m., followed by a game against the Gunnison Cowboys (1-4 conference record) on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Cedaredge boys lose 65-52 By Wayne Crick DCI Sports Writer

Cedaredge’s two-game weekend began in Gunnison on Thursday, Jan. 7. Gunnison recorded a 65-52 win in the WSL contest. A sluggish start made the outlook unfavorable for the Bruins as Gunnison took a 9-6 lead after one quarter. Cedaredge managed to cut the Cowboy’s lead to two with an 11-10 spurt in the second stanza, but the worst was yet to come.

Gunnison used a huge third period to seal the game when they outscored the Bruins 22-8 to take a 41-25 lead into the last quarter. The Bruins got their offense untracked in the game’s final stanza but was too far behind. Cedaredge’s offense poured in 27 points but their defense was unable to stop the Cowboy offense as they countered with 24 markers of their own. Cade Sweeney dumped in 28

points to lead the Bruins’ offense. The next highest scoring players for the Bruins were Burke Lowry and Miguel Barajas. Both players netted a total of five points in the WSL loss. T.K. Ullery finished with four points. Cedaredge faced a rugged Grand Valley team on Friday night in Cedaredge but won that contest in overtime, 47-45. The Bruins are in Basalt on Friday (6 p.m.) and at Coal Ridge Saturday (4 p.m.).

Each week the Delta Panther boys take the floor there’s a new excitement in the improvement of play for the players. It’s been a slow process but the Panthers are getting to the point where they are showing real promise for a successful season. A cold shooting streak and a hot-shooting Glenwood Springs Demons’ team thwarted Delta’s efforts in gaining a win last Friday with a 70-40 victory. Saturday’s encounter with Rifle’s Bears was close for most of the contest with Delta eventually falling 71-63. On Friday, the visiting Demons jumped on the Panthers for a 21-3 start and never really looked back. Delta’s first half looked as though the Panthers had been on vacation longer than their opponents. Glenwood’s constant pressure helped them to a 20-9 second quarter and a 41-12 halftime lead. The Demons’ Kevin Flohr had four treys in the first half

and finished with 16 of his gamehigh 23 counters. Delta finally got their offense functioning in the second half as they scored as many points in the third (12) as they had the previous two quarters of play. Unfortunately, Glenwood Springs continued to hold the hot hand and funneled 17 points through the net taking a 58-24 lead into the final stanza. The Panthers followed Eric Fuentes’ offensive lead to outscore Glenwood 16-12 in the fourth period. Fuentes had a pair of threes and a free throw in the frame. Eli Baier’s 11 points topped Delta shooters in the game with Fuentes’ seven second best. Nick Ciani and Russell Collins had 12 and 10 points respectively for the Demons giving them three players in double figures. In Rifle, the Panthers played inspired ball and had enough offense to be a threat to win the game. Each team put up 20 points in the opening quarter. The Panthers held a slight

Coach Brandon Wilkes noted, “T.K. has been dealing with that ankle since football season. He just needed to take a minute and walk it off.” Barely a minute after T.K.’s return, the Bruins tied the game once more at 39-39. With only 15 seconds left in the game, neither team could score and the game went into overtime. Grand Valley pulled ahead again quickly in overtime. Cedaredge quickly evened the score. This process repeated itself several times until, with 25 seconds left, the Bruins finally managed to gain the lead again. In the following 20 seconds, the Cardinals almost managed to catch up with the score at 46-45. Burke Lowry sealed the win

advantage in the second frame with a 21-15 run and a 41-35 halftime lead. Rifle’s Tyler Rust had 17 points in the first half and finished the game with 29 for the Bears. The game’s momentum shifted to the Bears in the second half. Rifle got the hot hand used Delta miscues to outscore the Panthers 21-13 in third period play. A 15-9 run in the fourth sealed the Bears’ victory at 71-63. The Panthers had three players in double figures with Baier’s 19 leading the way. Phillip Decker had 17 and Dave Whiteside 10 for the Panthers. The Panthers have a pair of WSL foes coming to town this week. Steamboat Springs is in on Friday (7:30 p.m.) and then it’s Moffat County’s Bulldogs on Saturday for varsity game action beginning at 5:30 p.m.

DELTA’S ELI BAIER IS by himself on this jumper against Glenwood Springs’ Demons on Friday night in Delta. The Demons played solid defense and had torrid offensive performances from several players as the Demons defeated Delta 70-40.

Cedaredge’s Lady Bruins split a pair of games played over the weekend. A trip to Gunnison on Jan. 7 resulted in a 39-33 victory for the Lady Bruins raising their record to 2-3. A home contest against Grand Valley’s Lady Cardinals was a 41-35 loss for Cedaredge. In Gunnison, the Lady Bruins were outscored 10-6 in the first quarter. An 8-4 spurt for Cedaredge tied the game at 1414 as the two teams went to their locker rooms for halftime. Amber Farr’s offensive spark provided 10 points for the Lady Bruins in an 18-12 advantage in the third frame. Farr had a pair of three-pointers and was four-for-four at the charity stripe. Gunnison’s Kjirsten Nelson netted eight counters for the Lady Cowboys in the period. Each team scored seven points over the final eight minutes of play to make the final score 3933. Farr finished with 17 points for Cedaredge and was the top scorer for the Lady Bruins. Nel-

son tossed in a game-high 20 counters to lead Gunnison. Cedaredge’s second game of the week was against Grand Valley was close for three quarters of play. The Lady Cardinals held a 10-8 lead after one period and was leading 19-18 at the break. Grand Valley’s T. Waugh had 12 of her team’s 19 points at the half. The Lady Bruins outscored Grand Valley 8-4 in the third stanza to take a 26-23 lead entering the last quarter. Erin Vanderpool and Waugh combined for 13 of Grand Valley’s 18 points in the final period to outscore the Lady Bruins by nine and claim the 41-35 victory. Jamie Deal and Farr shared scoring honors for the Lady Bruins with nine points each. Waugh had 18 counters to lead Grand Valley and teammate Vanderpool’s 13 points gave the Lady Cardinals two players in double figures. Cedaredge plays in Basalt (4:30 p.m.) and New Castle (Coal Ridge) this week. Coal Ridge’s varsity game is at 2:30 p.m.

with a penalty shot, ensuring the Cardinals would need to score three points in six seconds in order to win. As the final buzzer sounded, the Bruins celebrated their hard-won victory. The final score was 47-45. Coach Wilkes expressed how very proud he was for the team. “They had a lot of heart playing tonight, and just had a refusing-to-quit attitude,” he happily commented. “To come back after break and win against one of the best teams in our conference says a lot for our future.” “All you can do is try to get better,” Wilkes continued. “You can’t harp on the past; you have to keep working for the future.” This victory certainly predicts a very promising rest of the season for our own Cedaredge Bruins.

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY January 14, 1910 (From the Delta County Independent) The Apple Show drew many Delta county people to Denver last week and this week the stock show has attracted many more. Both exhibits were fine, as good as Colorado has ever put up in any line. It may easily be said, in fact, that both the apple show and the stock show of last week and this, are the best of Colorado’s exhibits. While Delta county did not get quite so nearly all the awards as her products have been accustomed to receive, still she won a sufficient share of them to be well satisfied, after a little cooling of the local temperature. It is certainly a good thing for other ambitious sections of the Western Slope, and may also prove of advantage to Delta county growers exhibiting at future expositions, to be taught that it is dangerous to grow over-confident and the least bit careless. *** On Wednesday President Taft appointed Harry S. Graves, director of the Yale Forest School, as Chief Forester of the United States to succeed Hon. Gifford Pinchot. Albert F. Potter, as present acting Forester, was appointed associate Forester. Both are known as Pinchot men, having served under him, and both are said to be in sympathy with his policies. *** The banquet tendered the Press and Denver notables at the Kaiserhof hotel in Denver, Wednesday night of last week, was a greatly enjoyed affair. It was an eight-course feast at which Dr. A.H. Stockham of Delta served as toastmaster. Responses were made by Governor Shafroth, Mr. Keating, editor of the Rocky Mountain News; Mr. Gordoff Jones, banker; President of the Chamber of Commerce of Denver; Cartoonist Finch of the Post, and Bide Dudley, humorist. President Kinsley, of the Delta County Business Men’s Association, made a brief address, giving statistics of the county’s products, crop yields and awards received. The banquet happily brought many Denver people of consequence in contact with Delta county boosters and all were gratified at the result. *** The Independent is informed that the

After a tremendous football season, the Delta Panthers were honored with the selection of two players to the Denver Post All-State Team. There were 10 players honored by the WSL coaches with their selections to this year’s WSL 3A All-Conference Team. Seniors Gene White and Garrett Pope received state honors with their selection to the Denver Post All-State’s Honorable Mention Team. The Panthers had five players on this year’s WSL First Team with White, Michael Patton, Phillip Decker, Duncan Simmons and Austin Watson being selected. Honorable Mention honors went to Pope, Chad Cromwell, Dakota Lindsay, Ernie Baier and Thomas Knob.

Women’s Club will attempt to promote a public library for Delta. The undertaking is a commendable one and it is hoped will succeed. Delta is now a city and entirely out of line in this respect. Many small villages of the state have creditable libraries and most of them have been in one way or another provided by ladies who took an active interest in such matters. After a start is made and public interest awakened, there opens up many ways for a library to be created and sustained. *** After only a day and a half of school another enforced vacation has become necessary. It is not scarlet fever this time, but diphtheria, which has broken out. The children of Dr. Bast are ill with this disease, and the Board of Health thought it best to close the school. When Dr. Bast and family returned from their eastern trip one of the children contracted diphtheria, and was left in a Pueblo hospital to recover. It is too bad that after all this precaution the disease should again break out in his family. *** Mr. McKinney has just finished the canvass of North Delta for the directory and finds that the population is five hundred and eighty-six. There are one hundred and thirty-two families in this suburb. These 586 people include a number of people who claim North Delta as their home but who are not there at present. The canvass of Delta will soon be finished and when that is done the exact population of the city will be made known. The Government enumerators will begin taking the census on April 15th, and when their labors are finished it will be interesting to compare their figures and those of the directory man. The new fixtures have arrived for the Roy L. Emery furnishing store. When completed the store will be a very neat one. The new cases, shelving and other fixtures are mission designs. *** Delta wanted the apple queen and with the proper amount of effort could have carried off the prize. But Delta did not win and that settles it. Miss Hartig, who was second in the race, says of Miss Skinner, Colorado’s Apple Queen: “She is a perfectly lovely girl and it was an easy matter to rejoice with her in the success she obtained. Besides, I think Delta did well in receiving the next highest vote on two of her candidates, in a contest for queen with more than twenty other candidates.” ***

THIS SHOT DID NOT fall for Delta’s Eric Fuentes, but, he did have a pair of three-point goals for the Panthers in their loss to Glenwood Springs, 70-40.

Twelfth Night bonfire lights the night in Orchard City By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

Now an annual event, parishioners from All Saints Lutheran Church gathered together to take part in the parish’s fourth annual “Twelfth Night” celebration. Once again, the night sky was brightened by the light from a truly spectacular bonfire made from discarded Christmas trees while Christmas carols filled the air. Ace Hardware in Delta donated their left over, unsold Christmas trees to All Saint parishioner Joel Magnuson for the event, making the bonfire bigger and brighter than in last year’s. According to event organizer Barbara Cairns, Magnuson again laid out the path to the bonfire, lining it on both sides with solar lights and evergreens. The bonfire was piled high with 40-plus trees donated by local businesses and parishioners, providing plenty of fire as participants sang Christmas

carols. Traditionally, “Twelfth Night” is celebrated on the eve of the Epiphany (Jan. 6), commemorating the manifestation of Jesus as the Christ to the Gentiles in the persons of the Magi (Belthasar, Caspar and Melchoir, according to Christian tradition) at Bethlehem. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “Twelfth Night” as, “The evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking.” During the Middle Ages the 12 days of Christmas was a period of continuous feasting and merrymaking, climaxing on the “Twelfth Night,” marking the traditional end of the Christmas season. “Twelfth Night” celebrations were even more popular than those of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as those celebrations provided one last chance

Chamber hosts annual meeting this Saturday By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

On Monday morning, Jan 11, the Cedaredge Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors selected new executive officers for the coming year. The new officers are Eileen Liles, president; Shari Owens, vice-president/secretary, and Donna Deutsch, treasurer. Liles replaces outgoing president Clayton Ryan. The new officers will be introduced during the chamber’s

annual banquet on Saturday, Jan. 16. The chamber will also announce the Business of the Year (service to the community); Looking Good (the business with the best curb appeal); Volunteer of the Year; and Citizen of the Year. The event will be held at The Grill at DeerCreek Golf Course, starting with the reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. For more information call the CACC at, 856-6961.

for music, dance, refreshments of all kinds and merrymaking before the revelers had to return to work. It was also common for villagers to put on costumes and masks, play music, dance and perform brief, impromptu Yuletide plays in the streets. The “Twelfth Night” was also the time to take down all Christmas decorations for the year to avoid “bad luck.” Christmas trees and other greenery used to decorate homes were taken down on “Twelfth Night” and burned. But in today’s fast paced world, the “Twelfth Night” celebration has largely been forgotten in the United States; replaced by the commercialism of the Christmas/New Year holidays. The tradition of merrymaking, including the bonfire, singing Christmas carols, hot apple cider, hot chocolate, and a variety of holiday treats, is alive and well in Orchard City, thanks to the parish community at All Saints Lutheran Church. All Saints Lutheran Church is located in Cory, just off Hwy. 65. The celebration took place in a field adjacent to the church on Sunday evening, Jan. 10.

A BONFIRE OF CHRISTMAS trees brightened the night near All Saints Lutheran Church in Orchard City, where Twelfth Night was celebrated with the burning of greens, sharing of Christmas carols and warm refreshments. The event marked the Christian Epiphany, the end of the Christmas season.

Ginter’s Grove neighbors form district for water improvements By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The residents of Ginter’s Grove north of Cedaredge have banded together to form the county’s first Public Improvement District.

The neighborhood has taken the legal step of forming the district in order to qualify for possible grant and low-interest funding to replace the failing waterline that serves 31 lots with treated water from the Cedaredge

THIS LARGE GROUP OF elk are wintering around Cedaredge, finding the open pastures and ample cover a welcoming place to spend the winter.

Elk are gathering for the winter By Bob Borchardt Staff Writer

According to reports from local residents, there are one and possibly two large elk herds

— ranging from 60-100 animals — which have decided to “winter” in the Surface Creek Valley near Cedaredge. Chann Fogg, owner of an

Orchard City town board to act on park, water By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

The regular meeting of the Orchard City Trustees on Wednesday, Jan. 13 will include discussions of two of the biggest issues now on the town board’s plate. The town’s $4.4 million West Side Main water project is on the meeting agenda as an action item. The administration has been working on an application for up to $2 million in low interest loan funds which, along with substantial cash from the town, is expected to get the first phase of the project completed. The final phase of the town’s park development plan will also

get some consideration. Construction of the new open-air pavilion also comes up as an action item on the agenda. Also to be discussed are elections, the annual contract with the Field of Dreams youth sports organization for use of the Orchard City Park facilities, and some Highway 65 improvements that will be required by the developer of the proposed Orchard Mesa Subdivision on Running Deer Road. Also, the mayor will introduce the town board’s Student of the Month. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Community Room at Town Hall.

orchard on Happy Hollow Road, reports there has been a herd of at least 100 elk “hanging out in the open field, adjacent to the Ellis’ Orchard.” That open field and the orchard, owned by Jerry and Sandra Ellis, are located where NW Sage Avenue and Happy Hollow Road merge, and signs of elk are abundant. Ellis agreed with Fogg’s estimated number of elk, saying that he personally had counted more than 100 elk in that particular area. Ellis said the elk come down in the evening hours to forage in the open field, often spend the night, and then go back up north during the day. “So far,” he said, “there’s been no serious damage.” Last fall, Fogg’s orchard was overrun by black bears. “But they’re gone now,” he laughed, “and the elk are back.” Fogg noted that the bears were blamed for killing sheep and a donkey in the area, and as a result, wildlife technicians (professional hunters) working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services Division, ended up having to kill nine bears. Unlike the damage caused

by foraging elk in the Durango area, Fogg said the Cedaredge elk herds have wintered in the area for the past three or four years, and to his knowledge, they’ve caused no damage to the orchards. “But they are swarming in and staying longer than usual,” he noted. Fogg said that the elk normally stay a mile or so further north. Connie Williams, owner of the AppleShed Arts Complex and Gallery in Cedaredge and who, along with her husband Dan, is co-owner of Williams Orchard, said she is concerned. According to Williams, the elk near her orchard number more than 100, much larger and are down lower than in past years. Williams also said the elk are getting closer to the orchard’s north fence than in years past. Roxie Morris, co-owner of Red Mountain Ranch located north of Cedaredge, said there has been a large herd of elk, 60 or more in number, wintering nearby. “But, so far, there’s been no damage.” So if people are out taking a drive, they may want to keep their cameras ready. There’s a good chance they may see a large herd of wintering elk.

treatment plant. The Public Improvement District (PID) entity is new for Delta County. The PID has been available under state statute for decades, and Mesa County has been utilizing the entity for over 30 years in making public improvements that serve a defined local area Other private pipeline companies in Delta County which are looking for money to replace aging infrastructure have expressed interest in the Ginter’s Grove initiative. They may now be able to follow the neighborhood’s lead setting up their own PID organizations and benefit from lessons county government is learning from the first effort here. County commissioner Olen Lund said, “I’m quite sure there will be more of these formed in the furture.” County Attorney Brad Kolman added, “This first one can serve as a model for others.” The advantage to forming a PID is that under state stature it becomes an actual public entity that qualifies for government-sourced and governmentsponsored grants and low-interest loans, Kolman explained. Neighborhood organizations like Ginter’s Grove that have been set up as private, not-for-profit organizations do not qualify for that same kind of government sourced funding. “It (the PID) is its own government entity with some taxing authority,” Kolman explained. “The PID allows more alternatives for raising funds.” The Ginter’s Grove neighbor-

hood is facing the task of replacing some 4,000 feet of aging water pipeline which as estimated could cost $350,000, according to one neighbor. There is no guarantee the Ginter’s Grove PID will be able to find or acquire the needed funding. But the possibilities are there, and the only other source of financial help they could have tapped was a state Department of Health program which, a neighbor explained, is now going unfunded due to state budget cuts. In order to get the legal benefits offered by the PID, the Ginter’s Grove organization has to clear other legal hurdles. “There are some real bureaucrativc hurdles to forming these kinds of districts,” Kolman said. There are specific procedures to follow in forming the district including petitioning and elections. Once set up, the PID becomes an actual sub-unit of county government with the Board of County Commissioners serving as its ex-officio Board of Directors. The county treasurer’s office also has some responsibility for collecting and handling the district’s funds. The treasurer’s office wants to avoid a situation where it is responsible for paying individual bills of the district out of its funds held by the county, but it would likely disperse the funds it collects to the PID’s officers for making payments, the BoCC was told The BoCC gave its conditional approval to the Ginter’s Grove petition of formation on Jan. 4.

ment they will place on themselves to get their water line replaced. Under the PID structure, there may be two options for collecting payment. One is a straight annual assessment to pay for the water line equally divided among all the lot owners. The other is establishing an actual mil levy and having it applied to each property’s valuation from the assessor’s office. There are still a lot of hurdles to clear for the Ginter’s Grove neighbors to get their PID set up and functioning. They still need to find adequate funding, get construction work completed, and then begin paying off their debt. The neighborhood has been working on ways to get financing backing for their project for over two years. Ginter’s Grove is located off of NE Shady Oak and has treated water delivered directly from the Cedaredge treatment plant via the neighborhood’s own pipeline, which is failing.

THE ACTION WILL BE fast and furious when sled dog teams challenge the trails of the Grand Mesa on Feb. 20-21 in the ISDRA sanctoned Rocky Mountain High Sled Dog Sprints.

The first Rocky Mountain High Sled Dog Sprints took place on the Grand Mesa in February 2007. The race was canceled in 2008 due to high winds and blowing snow. Last year the race started off with bad weather but the second day turned out to be near perfect. The starting order for Saturday races will be determined by ISDRA seeding. The classes this year include an eight-mile, eight-dog sprint; a six-dog, sixmile sprint; a four-mile, fourdog sprint class; and a four-mile, three-dog junior class. The race will also include a four-mile, one-dog skijor class; and a six mile, two-dog skijor class. To be an ISDRA sanctioned race, the course must comply with detailed trail requirements.

Safety for both mushers and dogs is the basic premise governing the trail design. The trail must not endanger either the dog teams or their drivers. An ISDRA sanctioned race must also comply with rules and regulations, established by the ISDRA, dictating everything from trail length and layout to mandatory safety equipment and canine fitness. The annual event is hosted and sponsored by the Cedaredge Area Chamber of Commerce and organized by the Rocky Mountain Sled Dog Club, Inc. The race is free to spectators and offers the opportunity to experience the excitement of competitive sled dog racing and skijoring. For more information call the Cedaredge Area Chamber of Commerce at 856-6961.

Public Notices —————— Public Notices —————— IN THE DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR WATER DIVISION NO. 4 STATE OF COLORADO TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN SAID WATER DIVISION NO. 4 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, as amended, you are notified that the following is a resume of all applications filed in the Water Court during the month of December, 2009. The names, address of applicant, source of water, description of water right or conditional water right involved, and description of the ruling sought are as follows: CASE NO. 2009CW164 - MESA AND DELTA COUNTIES – APPLICATION FOR WATER RIGHTS (SURFACE) - 1.Name, address, telephone number of applicant: United States of America, Kristen C. Guerriero, #32663, Arthur R. Kleven, # 36081, Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys, Office of the Regional Solicitor, 755 Parfet Street, Suite 151, Lakewood, Colorado 80215. Phone:(303) 231-5353 Facsimile:(303) 231-5363. 2. Introduction: This application is filed pursuant to the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009, signed into law on March 30, 2009 (Public Law 111-11). Among other things, the legislation created the Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Area (Public Law 111-11, Sections 2403 through 2405). The legislation authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Interior to “appropriate and seek adjudication of water rights to maintain surface water levels and stream flows on or across the Wilderness to fulfill the purposes of the Wilderness.” Section 2405 (h)(2)(B)(ii)(II). The legislation also provides that “Any water rights within the Wilderness for which the Secretary pursues adjudication shall be adjudicated, changed, and administered in accordance with the procedural requirements and priority of system of State law.” Section 2405 (h)(2)(B)(i). The purpose of this application is to claim surface water rights for the entire flow of springs found within the Wilderness for wilderness management purposes. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has previously adjudicated water rights on some of these springs for various purposes. However, this application seeks to insure that water rights are adjudicated at each spring for the full range of wilderness management purposes. The BLM may file additional applications in the future, if additional spring sources are documented as a result of wilderness inventory and planning efforts. 3.

Birds of the Western Slope A look at local birds with Evelyn Horn It’s the middle of January. Though the sky’s clear, and the wind isn’t blowing, it is cold. And despite the cold, there are birds harboring in our plantings of pinon, juniper, silver-lace vine, and scrub oak. There are a few juncos with their white-margined tails, several house finches with their reddish breasts, but mostly house sparrows. Little brown birds with clear gray breasts, dark bibs and gray heads. They are so numerous, that they must be house sparrows! Their abundance is a clue to their origin: introduced species often are more numerous than our natives. They are rather pretty little birds. Gray crown, pale gray belly, brown back and wings, black bill and bib. They’re small, maybe six inches long. And they weigh less than an ounce. Now they have their feathers all fluffed out against the cold, and

they look bigger than they really are. They flutter around in the pinon pine, and I noticed that their legs are light-colored. The bills are blunt, indicating that they’re seed-eaters. In the past, some people thought these birds were especially pretty, and between 1850 and 1867 this species was imported. Supposedly, others thought that the birds would help control insects — a wonderment as I look at their thick bills, obviously a seed-eater, not the narrow sharp bill of an insect

eater. Back then, the horse was our means of transport, and people saw the house sparrows in the horse manure. Apparently they thought that the birds were after insects, but the birds were actually looking for seeds. The “Birder’s Handbook” states that within 50 years this introduced bird had taken up residence across the entire North American continent. Why are these sparrows so successful? First of all, their natural predators weren’t imported with them! Then, a single pair may produce two or even three broods per season. Also, they breed the first year following their birth. These facts explain some of the population explosion. And house sparrows are famous for taking nests from bluebirds and swallows. And they’re very adaptable: they nest

in trees, shrubs, vines, under house eaves and in tile roofs, in cavities or crevices within building walls, even in the lower portions of the eagle’s stick-nests. It seems that any old place will do. The Handbook suggests that these birds appeared shortly after people began farming in the Middle East which leads us to their proper name, Passer domesticus: Latin passer = sparrow. Their affinity to human-kind gives us “domesticated.” Now that horses have been replaced, house sparrows are more frequently found in rural areas where waste grains and such are available to them. Pretty little birds, but I hope the abundance of house sparrows serves to remind us NOT to introduce non-native species.

Screamin’ Eagles mural completed Paonia High School now has a Screamin’ Eagles mural to cheer on their sports teams. Paonia senior Grayson Pipher painted the school’s mascot on the gymnasium wall. It took just over one week to complete the soaring eagle. She used house paint for the mural. Pipher has painted murals at Hotchkiss High School, Mesa State College, two at Paonia High School and one with her art class at Paonia Elementary School. She hopes to paint murals to help finance her college education. After college, she wants to teach art as a career.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $13,581.00 (10% of the Secretary’s bid) in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD.

Each oral bid need not be accompanied by an additional deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $13,581.00 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant, and has no obligation to deliver the property vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $135,200.54 as of November 127, 2009 plus the Foreclosure Commissioner’s fees and costs plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner,

and all other costs incurred–in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. Dated this 22nd day of December, 2009. /s/ Charles A.

A view in 3D THIS IS IS AN example of the quality stereoscopes crafted by Don Clayton of Cedaredge. The design dates back into the mid 1800s, when stereoscopes provided a “threedimensional” view of world wonders.

Story and photos by Bob Borchardt

3D

is all the rage. With the movie “Avatar” now in theaters, the long list of 3D movies and the unveiling of the first 3D television at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, one can only wonder when and where all this three dimensional imaging started. It’s far from being new, according to Cedaredge resident and craftsman extraordinaire Don Clayton. According to Don, in 1838 British physicist and inventor Sir Charles Wheatstone invented an optical device for viewing three-dimensional drawings. Wheatstone called it a “stereoscope,” taking as its origin the Greek words “stereos,’ meaning “solid,” and “skopein,” meaning “to see.” However, stereoscopes were not popular until 1851 when Sir David Brewster demonstrated a model at the Great Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace. Brewster’s demonstration caught the eye of Queen Victoria, who was visiting the exhibition. He presented the Queen with a viewer and a collection of “stereoviews,” (two photographs of the same subject mounted side by side on a card that, when viewed through a stereoscope, are perceived as a single three-dimensional image). It wasn’t long before every middle-class home in England had one. USING QUALITY MATERIALS AND jigs he created years ago, Don Clayton manuIn 1886, at the request of Oliver factures stereoscope kits which are marketed in museums and gifts shops. Wendell Holmes, Joseph Bates built a stereo viewer that would accommodate specially designed cards that were less hundreds. By then, most photographers raphers had photographed, for stereo expensive and easier to use than the carried stereo, as well as regular pho- viewing, many world-famous events older style stereoscopes. Known as the tographic equipment, photographing including the Colombian Exposition, “Holmes Viewer,” Holmes stereoscopes images of people in far away lands and the Spanish-American War and the were used to teach airmen the skills of scenes of exotic places for the rapidly Alaskan Gold Rush. With the help of analyzing stereographs during World expanding stereoscope market. stereoviews, 3D images of famous, and Estimates suggest that there were even infamous people, were brought War Two. By 1879, almost every home had a over 5 million stereoviews photographed into people’s homes the world over. stereoscope and a collection of view- in the United States alone. However, with the advent of radio, movBy the turn of the century photog- ies and television, the stereoscope faded ing cards, often numbering into the in popularity to a point of being almost nonexistent. Don credits K-Mart for keeping three dimensional imaging alive, but added that the steresoscopes of that by-gone era and the ones he makes today should not be confused with the plastic “K-Mart Special” children’s “View-Master,” (a modern, plastic version of the stereoscope which allows children to view cartoons, fairy tales and other subjects imprinted on a transparent disc). Don explained that an authentic stereoscope is “a unique, precision-made instrument made to give a person many hours of viewing pleasure.” He included the word “nostalgic,” in his description of the stereoscope. While working as a prototype engineer for Dixon Electronics in Grand Junction, Don developed a stereoscope for the Dixon’s Gift Division. He also designed and built all the jigs and tooling needed to build it. When the Gift Division was closed, he bought the rights, all the inventory, jigs and fixtures from Dixon and began building stereoscopes on his own Don and Shirley Clayton at home in Cedaredge.

That was 27 years ago, notes his wife, Shirley. Today, a long time resident of Cedaredge, Don’s handcrafted stereoscopes have gone through several major changes to become the beautiful handcrafted, functional centerpiece that he wholesales worldwide. “Originally,” said Don, “the hood of the stereoscopes were made of metal, then plastic, but now they are made of antique leather.” The lenses have also gone through an evolution of sorts, and now, with the antique leather, the wider hoods and lense’s rectangular wedge shape, children and eyeglass wearers are able to enjoy Don’s stereoscopes. Don explained that when he started building his stereoscopes, “the lenses were round and spaced so that children could not look through them and see the image. Adults who wore glasses had to take off their glasses in order to view the image. Now, with the soft leather hoods, a person does not have to remove their glasses to view the images, and with the wedge shaped, rectangular lenses, even small children,can view the images.” Under the name of Claymore Company, Don has sold his stereoscopes to such prestigious companies as SONY (250 as table centerpieces for a banquet celebrating the release of their I-Max 3D film, “Across the Sea of Time”), Minneapolis-Honeywell, Polk Radio, and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Clayton said museums and gift shops are his major sources for his business. Shirley said it took the whole family, Don, herself, their three daughters (Regina, Linda and Dianna) and their grandchildren to assemble the stereoscopes that SONY needed for their banquet. Don turned down an order from TOYO Glass Co. for 10,000 sterescopes. He smiled, “I have no intention in going into mass production — that would sacrifice quality for quantity, and besides, I sell all that I can make now.” In 1908, Sears & Roebucks sold stereoscopes, with a set of 50 stereoviews, for 85 cents. But those days are gone. Don’s stereoscopes retail between $120$150, including a set of 12 stereoviews. Also included are instructions for assembly (yes, you have to put them together yourself), and instructions for photographing your own stereoviews. Don noted that while new stereoscopes, sold in high-end gift shops and on the Internet, mirror the earlier classic styling, most of them are built to look at, rather than through, and lack the quality of workmanship and materials. By way of contrast, Don’s stereoscopes are authentic replicas of an earlier, more rugged mid-century construction and craftsmanship, and are carefully handcrafted from select walnut and antique leather. The Claytons moved to Cedaredge in 1971. Their three daughters are all graduates of Cedaredge High School. Now, at the age of 75, Don is looking forward to retirement, knowing full well that his stereoscopes will provide a good supplemental income for his retirement. “I don’t make junk,” he laughed.

HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There is a cause in your heart, Aries, and it will direct much of what you do for the week. You may need to recruit a helper to keep up with all of your plans. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Think about a change of scenery, Taurus, because you can use it. It may take more than a day or two away from work to recharge your batteries, however. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a new address leads to plenty of new relationships. You just have to weed through them to find the ones that have serious potential. A friend is jealous of your good fortune. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You are tempted to play the blame game, Cancer. But think better of it when some new information comes to the surface. Thursday will be a good day for personal reflection. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, there’s a chance you will be passed over for something important this week. Don’t let it get you down. You’ll have another opportunity soon enough. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Even though someone repeatedly asks you not to do something, you seem to keep on doing it, Virgo. If you’re looking for trouble, this is the perfect way to get into it. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a big argument yields no winners, only losers. It’s your responsibility to start mending some fences. There’s a close friend who has some good advice if you’ll listen. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Cabin fever, boredom, the winter blues ... call it what you want to, Scorpio, but you’ve certainly got a case. This could be a good time to head to a warmer climate. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Now is not the time to make big decisions, Sagittarius, such as financial moves or whether to get a pet. In a few weeks things will seem more clear and it may be a better time. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, before you get sidetracked by one way of thinking, it’s better if you listen to as many ideas as possible. The right one for you is just around the corner. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 This week you could feel in a domestic mood, Aquarius. So surround yourself with those activities you love to do at home. Maybe it’s cooking or some redecorating. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a chance for romance is fleeting, so you better jump on it now. Your soul mate is just waiting for that special connection.

Church group donates quilts to abused kids Children who end up in the court system because of abuse or neglect are often removed from their homes. But sadly, they must

Sunshine Club meets after school The spring 2010 term of Sunshine Club, a non-denominational Christian after school club at Garnet Mesa Elementary School, is underway. Kids in kindergarten through fifth grade meet weekly when school is in session from 3:30-5 p.m. Caring, enthusiastic volunteers provide snacks, games, songs, crafts, skits, and group prayer time, which reinforce that day’s Bible lesson and story. For more information, call Kami Collins at 874-0340.

leave belongings behind. A local church group decided to help, and recently made handmade quilts, along with matching pajamas, that were presented to 10 children, from ages 6 months to 12 years, currently being helped by Voices for Children, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates.) The colorful quilts, in different designs and colors, were made by the Relief Society of the Montrose Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. CASA Voices for Children volunteer coordinator Martha Cappanno said “The reactions from the children were priceless. One volunteer reported a child being so excited because her quilt matched her room perfectly.” Children removed from an abusive or neglectful home are placed in a safe environment while their cases are being settled in court, either through foster care or by staying with a close relative.

Their safety is most important, but it’s just as important that they have a voice in the courtroom, which CASA provides. Volunteers trained through Voices for Children become the child’s advocate in the courtroom and represent the child’s best interests. Volunteers are court appointed, conduct their own investigations into the child’s case and present their findings to the judge. CASA Voices for Children operates in the 7th Judicial District and represents children in Montrose, Delta, Hinsdale, Gunnison, Ouray and San Miguel counties. During 2009, approximately 100 children were given a voice in the courts through Voices for Children. More volunteers are always needed, and donations are encouraged to the nonprofit organization. Cappanno welcomes calls or emails and potential volunteers

are also encouraged to stop by the CASA office in the Enterprise Center, 300 North Cascade, Suite T8. The phone number is 970-249-0337 and email at casa@gwe.net. Donations can be mailed to CASA, P.O. Box 1708, Montrose CO 81402-3293. For more details, log onto CASA’s website at casanow.org.

Bible study focuses on Romans Delta United Methodist Church is offering a 10-week brown bag Bible study of the book of Romans on Thursdays beginning Jan. 21 from noon to 1 p.m. Pack yourself a lunch and meet in the fellowship hall at 477 Meeker Street.
