$2.6M must be trimmed from school district budget

Kids’ Pasta Project recognizes two local organizations

Superintendent: School closures unlikely By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

See The North Fork Times on pages 1-4B.

Superintendent Mike McMillan said school closures are unlikely to “reach a high priority” as the budget task force examines options for trimming $2.6 million from the school district budget. They are, however, among several alternatives being discussed during budget task force meetings. The Delta County School District budget task force, comprised of citizens, parents, teachers, business representatives, and administration, will meet twice in February and twice in March before presenting a list of final recommendations to the Delta County School Board on April 1. McMillan said closing Crawford Elementary, one high school and a middle school have been suggested, along with over 30 other ideas. But in a letter to Crawford parents — crafted after a sign in a local store inferred the closure was a certainty — McMillan said it’s unlikely Crawford School will be closed. The school has about 125 students in grades K-8. “Crawford student-to-teacher ratio is near the average for the entire district, and the cost of maintaining and operating the building is also very comparable to the other district schools,” he wrote on Jan. 15. “Therefore, it is not my intention or expectation to close Crawford Elementary, and the budget task force will evaluate all budget reduction proposals to recommend which are best for students.” McMillan cautioned parents against moving their kids to another school before a final decision is made. “I have been told that some parents are considering changing schools prior to any recommendations or decisions.” he wrote. “I ask that students stay enrolled at Crawford School where the staff is dedicated to

Tri County reaches agreement with towns A longstanding dispute over the sale of water from the Dallas Creek project was settled in January. As a result of the mediated agreement, Tri-County Water Conservancy District will pay the City of Delta $25,255, the City of Montrose $81,300, and the Town of Olathe $464. The four entities signed a contract in September 1977 which provided for the allocation of the water from the Dallas Creek Project, which is the primary source of Delta’s drinking water. According to the terms of that contract, the four parties were to share in the proceeds of any sale or lease of water after a 10year deferral period. The revenue sharing provision of the contract was not enforced until some time after Menoken Water Company and the Chipeta Water Company began receiving water from Tri County. Through mediation, all the entities agreed how the issue should be resolved now and going into the future.

Learn more about unemployment benefits On Thursday, Feb. 4, and Friday, Feb. 5, counselors from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s unemployment insurance program will be at the Mesa County Workforce Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to address questions and concerns people may have about their unemployment insurance. The first step in adapting to changes created by the loss of a job is to understand the unemployment insurance program. Claimants, and anyone who believes unemployment is in their future, can take the first steps by simply stopping by the Mesa County Workforce Center at 2897 North Avenue, Grand Junction, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Assistant city manager Steve Glammeyer led a contingent of Delta area residents to Denver Monday for a formal presentation before the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). The City of Delta is one of seven finalists competing for $17 million in energy impact funds which will be awarded by DOLA. If Delta is successful, the grant will make the proposed alternate truck route a reality. “We don’t know anything, and we won’t until next Monday, but I got a lot of good feedback from the group we took, and we had very few questions from the committee which leads me to believe we did a good job,” Glammeyer said. He was accompanied by four council members, interim city manager Glen Black, county commissioners Bruce Hovde and Jan McCracken, and citizen representative Gerald Roberts. Another group of supporters left Delta at 3 a.m. Monday to arrive in Denver in time for the presentation. “We packed the room and I think that made a big impression,” Glammeyer said.

their children to Paonia — an additional 30-minute ride each way — would put their homes up for sale. Buyers with children would be reluctant to purchase homes in the community. Frustrated sellers would lower their prices to motivate buyers, and property taxes would ultimately drop.

“We hope that you will consider making cuts in other areas before it ever comes to closing an entire school,” Neff said. “We look forward to working with you in the future and together making responsible, educated and innovative decisions for the best interests of the children.”

meeting their needs. In my opinion, school transfer could even impede the decision process. “We encourage parents and citizens to be patient with this process and timeline.” At the Jan. 21 meeting of the school board, Stephanie Neff shared some of the Crawford parents’ concerns. She said they recognize the tough decisions facing the school board, but pointed out that Crawford has already taken several measures to reduce costs. In the last two years, she said, Crawford School has given up three teachers. The principal and Title I teachers teach core classes in addition to their fulfilling their contractual obligations. “By our estimation, Crawford School has already addressed budget concerns by cutting these teaching positions while maintaining our enrollment. Crawford K-8 is also very fortunate to have volunteers who work tirelessly as advocates for our children’s education.” Many of those volunteers, she said, are members of the community who do not have children in school. They simply see a need and take pride in the Crawford schools and community. She had also researched the property tax dollars paid into the school district. “Delta County School District receives approximately $414,351 from property owners in the Crawford area. According to school district website, it costs about $483,894 to run the Crawford school for a year. We also all know the district receives state funds in addition to property taxes. With these findings in mind it’s quite clear to see we’re paying our own way. “Finally, given the facts just stated, if Crawford School were to close, you can imagine the downward spiral it could have on our town.” Families who don’t want to bus

The work of Meth Free Delta County and its community-based methamphetamine addiction treatment program is having a noticeably positive impact reducing use and addiction. Fred McKee, Delta County sheriff, gave that assessment to a gathering of local government officials on Jan. 22. And, during a second report delivered at the day-long municipal quarterly meeting in Cedaredge, county attorney Brad Kolman said that a “wait and see” approach on dealing with marijuana dispensaries could be advised for local jurisdictions that have placed temporary moratoriums on them. McKee told the gathering of almost 40 people that the Meth Free Delta County program is decreasing meth-related crime in the county. The Meth Free Delta County program aims at helping meth addicts regain control of their own lives by offering them better lifestyle choices than the sub-culture of meth. Much more than a drug treatment program, the community-based model of Meth Free Delta County involves courts, counselors, family members, case workers, friends, and most importantly volunteers from the community who help mentor former meth addicts back into productive lives. The Meth Free Delta County program is not a law enforcement program per se, but rather a comprehensive approach aimed at restoring the “whole person” who has become involved in meth. McKee said that the incidence of meth offender recidivism, or repeat meth-related criminal offense, has decreased. That in turn has lowered the number of beds at the county jail facility being used by repeat offenders.

Methamphetamine addicts’ first contact with law enforcement can become a blessing in disguise if it leads to acceptance into the Meth Free Delta County program and the chance for a new life. In addition, the community’s comprehensive effort to defeat the methamphetamine scourge, an effort

which employs resource of law enforcement, has driven the cost of methamphetamine higher, McKee said. That cost is now on a par with cocaine, a damaging and illegal drug which is however considered less destructive and addictive than meth. If drug users decide to use cocaine

rather than meth, it is believed that their rehabilitation and recovery is more likely. In a separate report to the municipal quarterly meeting, county attorney Brad Kolman gave an update on the status of marijuana dispensary See Medical marijuana, Page 3A

Bray: Golf course development isn’t feasible in this economy By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

Although Kevin Bray said he and his partners remain committed to Paradise Hills, a housing development near Devil’s Thumb Golf Course, it doesn’t make sense to pour money and manpower into the project in this economy. Bray, real estate broker John Renfrow and Walid Boumatar are the principals in Delta Golf LLC. They met with the Delta City Council in late January to explain why they’ve defaulted on a contract to purchase the city-owned property surrounding the golf course. They also wanted to assure council members that they didn’t “just drop the project and walk away.” During the three years the property was under contract, Bray said they worked on road design and layout for 1525 Road, which the city has identified as the future access route to the golf course, and spent time and resources on conceptual planning, traffic surveys and soils reports. Between professional services and the payment of interest and earnest money to the city, Bray said they’ve invested over $470,000 in the project. And they had yet to turn a shovelful of dirt.

Driving their decision are statistics from the city’s community development department which graphically illustrate the drop in residential building permits — from 96 in 2006 and 71 in 2007, to 33 in 2008 and four in 2009. Boumatar pointed out that the development contained 472 homesites. Divide that number by four building permits a year, and “it doesn’t make sense from any point of view.” In addition to the housing development itself, Bray and his partners looked into tying the project into other commercial/residential developments proposed for North Delta. Those projects also remain on the drawing board due to a lack of buyers and investors. “Our commitment went beyond the option on the land, but the deterioration of the economy was just out of our control,” Bray said. “We believed when we started this project that Delta was prime for a lot of growth,” he continued. “Now, with the cost of infrastructure improvements, we don’t see prices making sense for five years. “But we also believe it’s important to be ready when the time is right, so we want to continue to do

the prep work. We wanted to come tonight to see if we can align our goals.” “Our initial goal was to sell the land,” council member Robert Jurca responded. “We’re not looking to become partners in developing the land.” Council members said they appreciated hearing Bray’s explanation, but declined to continue the discussion until the new city manager is on board and up to date on the project. After the meeting, Kevin Bray said he’d accomplished his primary goal, which was to re-establish communication with the city council. “We wanted them to be aware of all the progress we’ve made over the past three years.” The initial contract involved three contiguous parcels of land totaling 202 acres with a purchase price of $1.15 million. The partners later offered to buy additional parcels of land which the city hoped to receive in a trade with the Bureau of Land Management. The original closing date was Oct. 9, 2007. The most recent extension was March 31, 2009. “Our goal all along was to purchase the land and start construction the very same day,” Bray said.

Delay in roadless policy threatens area coal mines cally important to worker safety. Without them, a buildup of methane gas concentrations will compromise the safety of miners and cause severe operational problems. In essence, this de facto ban on new vent boreholes acts as a de facto ban on coal mining. This could have devastating impacts for a number of rural communities. For example, North Fork Valley coal mines are a major contributor to the economy of Delta County, providing more than 1,000 direct jobs — jobs which are threatened by delays over roadless policy. As one report in The Denver Post recently noted, “The 353 miners employed in Oxbow Mining’s Elk Creek mine, and 700 at neighboring coal mines, could become collateral damage in the [roadless]

Dear Governor Ritter: Colorado’s roadless policy remains in limbo thanks to administrative gridlock in Washington. These delays have created an environment of uncertainty that is having real-life economic consequences for many rural industries. One such industry is coal mining. As you know, coal miners rely on “boreholes” drilled from the surface above to vent methane gas that would otherwise build up in the mines. One side effect of delays in the implementation of Colorado’s roadless rule has been the prohibition of new vent boreholes (because boring new vents requires the construction of temporary forest roads, which are barred until a conclusion is reached on roadless policy). These vent boreholes are criti-

Delta is a welcoming town Dear Editor: I am a traveling hospice nurse and recently completed two nine-week assignments in Delta County. I say two nine-weeks because when I had been there less than three weeks I knew I wanted to extend my time there! Being from Texas, I thought WE (Texans) were the friendliest people, but now I have to retract that statement and say that the people of Delta County are the friendliest people I have ever met! Everywhere I went — from the variety store to the hospital

— people were so extraordinarily nice and spoke to me like they had known me all my life! I felt more welcome in your area than my own hometown. I want to say thank you to Delta’s Hospice and Palliative Care of Western Colorado for making me feel like part of the family from the first minute I walked in the office. I also want to say thank you to those neighbors and managers at Riverwood RV park (I travel in a RV). Cathy Archer Plainview, Texas

debate in Denver and Washington, D.C.” These jobs not only provide a source of economic development for rural communities like Delta. They also generate tens of millions of dollars through royalty fees and severance taxes — revenues that state, federal and local governments rely on to provide critical services. And while we remain optmistic about the economic contribution of socalled “green jobs” in the future, they will not supplant the jobs and revenue stream provided by the conventional energy sector any time soon. Jim Martin, your nominee to replace Harris Sherman as head of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, told the State Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee last week that the administration supports approving the new boreholes as soon as possible. We appreciate that, and hope you will encourage the Obama administration along those lines. A related issue awaiting action is commencement of NEPA review for lease modifications. Coal leasing is not prohibited under either the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule or the pending Colorado Roadless Area Rule and such applications should be allowed to proceed in a timely fashion. Timing is important with the processing of coal lease modification applications because NEPA could easily take 30-36 months to complete with opportunities for public review and input. After NEPA is completed the new coal reserves must be permitted through the Colorado Department of Natural Resources with opportunity for public review and comment, so there is significant lead required. We hope you will convey these concerns to the Obama administration, and encourage them to process these applications expeditiously. As you know, the recommendations of Colorado’s bipartisan Roadless Review Task Force specifically authorized these venting operations, and more broadly endorsed narrowly-tailored expansion of existing coal mines into roadless areas. Toward that end, we would ask that you contact Secretary Vilsack to immediately approve the application for gob vent bore holes currently awaiting review. In addition, we hope you will convey our desire that the Obama administration settle on a roadless policy quickly so that we can restore regulatory certainty to the families, businesses and rural communities that rely on these lands for their livelihood.

Cedaredge road crews have done a terrific job Dear Editor: I would like to say thank you to the Town of Cedaredge for getting all the snow removal on our streets done so quickly this year. Fighting the snow has been an ongoing challenge for months now and without you guys taking the snow away we would have been buried. It is a joy to go to work and see our road so well maintained.

Take action to save what’s left of our wild horses, burros Dear Editor: In response to M. David Allen’s letter published on Jan. 20, regarding the balance of America’s wild horses I have to say that he obviously has not read the facts or done any sort of investigation into the demise of the American wild mustang and burros. This is not only an emotionally charged issue among those wanting to save what is left of the American wild mustang and burros but also the question is raised of what is the right thing to do. From over two million wild mustangs in the 1800s, America’s wild horse population has dwindled to less than 25,000. There are now more wild horses in government holding pens than remain in the wild, with many of the remaining herds managed at population levels that do not guarantee their long-term survival. Still, the round-ups continue. “The BLM continues to lead the public to believe that exploding populations of wild horses are causing degradation of the range and they must be removed before

noted few wild horses and saw no reason the BLM could not provide any resources these few horses might need. He emphasized the importance of the wild horses to the ecological balance especially given that they are better suited to digesting coarse dry vegetation than cattle, sheep, elk, and deer. Horses, unlike other animals, are better at ferreting out remote water sources and even prolonging them for use by other species. The wildlife ecologist actually found substantial trampling and obvious use by cattle. The few horses he encountered were, sadly, very frightened, an indication to him of harassment by people probably from the helicopters used to corral and run them down. It is up to the American people to save what is left of our wild horses, so take action. Please call your two U.S. senators to urge support for H.R. 1018 to protect our nation’s wild horses and burros. You can reach your senators through the capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Letter writer spins a fairy tale with eagle’s history Dear Editor: It’s a good thing that your opinion page is clearly labeled just that — opinion. If your readers begin to digest these contributions as fact, then they will walk away terribly misinformed. Take the recent letter to the editor entitled “Our objective should be political balance.” It begins with a fairy tale retelling of the history of the eagle as part of our national symbol. The writer contends that the eagle was chosen by our founding fathers as a symbol of balance: the left side representing “the problem solving wing,” or the wing of compassion, while the right side represents “the responsibility of conserving the nation’s resources and the people’s freedoms.” This political metaphor of the left wing (liberalism), right wing (conservatism), is creative, and perhaps even useful, but in the end, it is woefully and historically incorrect. The eagle has been used as a symbol long before the founding fathers were born, and in its history, it has never been used as a symbol of balance. On the contrary, the eagle symbol-

izes strength, courage, farsightedness and immortality. That is why the forefathers chose it. In this capacity, the eagle has been used on flags and crests from ancient Persia to the Roman Empire, from English Royalty to the national symbol of the Third Reich. Nazi Germany is hardly a display of balance. The letter continues to fly this erroneous political metaphor, with obvious results. The wings must work together, or the national bird spirals to its demise. It’s nice imagery, but retelling history to serve a point is probably not the best way to go about it. Ultimately, the article uses the spiraling eagle image to parlay into the real point of the piece: that since the days of FDR, our country has been tipped too far to the political left and as a result of this imbalance, “We are spiraling dangerously toward tyranny.” Take a closer look at history, and again we will see how this argument falls flat (much like the spiraling eagle). Since FDR’s last day in office in 1945 until 2009, there have been six

Republican presidents, who have served for a total of approximately 36 years in office. In that same time-span, there have been five Democratic presidents who have served a total of approximately 28 years. These numbers do reveal an imbalance, but one opposite to the article’s intention. To achieve the author’s much needed balance, we would need the current president to serve for eight years. If the author of the article wanted to make a political point, she should have done so without rewriting history. Not agreeing with the president is fine (in fact, freedom of speech was one of FDR’s legacies), not wanting a national health care plan is fine (in fact, Ronald Reagan was so against Medicaid he famously said, “We will awake to find that we have socialism”). Would the author like to restore balance by rescinding FDR’s “freedom of speech,” and pulling Lyndon Johnson’s Medicaid program. Are these the ideals that have us spiraling toward tyranny?

There’s no place for class warfare in the U.S. Dear Editor: One of the great subtleties of the Obama agenda is the covert application of class warfare. First of all, what is class warfare? My dictionary does not define it so I will give it my best effort. As I see it, class warfare is pitting the poor against the rich or the “have-nots” against the “haves.” The most recent example is Obama’s declaration of war against the BIG banks. He says he is going to force these money mongers to repay the TARP funds whether they owe the government anything or not. Of course the big banks are a politically perfect target as they typify the rich blood suckers whose only function is to rob the poor to line their own pockets. The labor unions are masters of the art of class warfare. You will note Obama’s efforts

Say no to tax on candy, soda Dear Editor: Are you all tired of taxes? Then you need to voice your opposition to the impending legislation to unfairly levy taxes upon the sales of soda and candy. Not only is this a discriminatory tax, but it will adversely affect Western Slope businesses such as Enstrom’s, Russell Stover, Coca-Cola and Pepsi Bottling vending machine operators to name a few. The last thing we need in this economic downturn are more layoffs and closures in this state due to short-

they all starve. This is without merit because wild horses and burros make up only a fraction of animals grazing the range. Far greater damage is caused by the privately-owned cattle who outnumber the horses more than 100 to 1,” states Arizona advocate Julianne French. The horses that are rounded up and “put up for adoption” are generally horses that are completely unadoptable due to the age of the horse and cost to new owner to train such a horse. The adoption program set up by the BLM is a complete failure and instead tax dollars continue to be used in roundups and continued penning up of these horses. Harvesting is a really nice way of putting it, but truth be told let’s call it what it is, slaughter of America’s wild mustangs and burros, a multimillion dollar industry to put horse meat on foreign tables. A wildlife ecologist who has studied Nevada’s wild horses and burros extensively since the 1960s toured the targeted Seaman and White River and Caliente herd areas this past August, immediately prior to the removals.

The next time you have the stomach flu and your doctor suggests soda to keep anything down, or your throat is hoarse and raw and you need to suck on a hard candy, I hope you aren’t paying more for this “luxury” because you haven’t taken the time to contact any and all Colorado state legislators to axe this legislation.

to eliminate the secret ballot from labor organization elections so the unions can more easily coerce workers to vote for the union. (Personal note: I was management personnel in a steel mill and I walked into the plant with the union employees. Periodically the union would have a membership drive to enlist new employees. The union organizers were all baseball players. They all wore union baseball caps and carried a baseball bat. Possibly the ball bat was a subtle reminder that if you wanted to stay healthy you joined the union...I wonder?) Another example of class warfare is the to-do over bonuses. Of course, bonuses for employees of failing companies supported by government loans are targets of legitimate complaints. All other bonuses are purely the responsibility of the individual enterprise regardless of how exorbitant they may seem to the outsider. If you own stock in a company that is paying outrageous bonuses you have a legitimate complaint with the board of directors but the government has no part in the situation. Careful analysis of events of the last year will reveal many cases of the use of class warfare by the Obama Administration. The important thing to recognize is the historic use of class warfare. Class warfare was a primary component in the strategy to further the political aims of numerous tyrants including men

like Lenin and Hitler. Our United States of America has no place for class warfare. Praise the Lord! Let us keep it that way! James Andrews Austin

Fire crew put out fire professionally, then cleaned up Dear Editor: I would like to compliment the Hotchkiss Fire Department on the professional manner in which they put out the fire at my granddaughter’s home in Hotchkiss at 1:30 a.m. Friday morning, Jan. 22. There was no excess damage beyond the fire area and no water damage anywhere. There was no loss of personal property. The next best thing to putting out the fire was the cleanup after the fire. The sheetrock, insulation and water were shoveled up and put outside along with the bricks. The smoke was exhausted with large fans. What a great job. Thank you to the fire department, the town marshall, the sheriff’s deputy and the North Fork Ambulance, also the Red Cross for their officer of assistance and the gifts to the children. Thank you all! James E. Hopper Former chief Hotchkiss

Voting by mail ballot has become the most preferred method of casting votes in Delta County, reports Ann Eddins, county clerk and recorder, and Renee Loy, county elections director. The elections department reports that of all active voters in countywide elections, 63 percent have requested permanent mail-in ballots, even for use in elections where physical polling places are available. Broken down by political affiliation, 65 percent of Democrats have chosen mail-in ballots, compared to 64 percent of Republicans and 57 percent of unaffiliated voters. The Aug. 10 primary election will be the first primary ever conducted by mail-in ballot in Delta County, and in other Colorado counties. That is because of new legislation providing for primary elections by mail-in vote. Local voters shouldn’t expect to see anything very different

in the voting process from past mail-in elections. One new wrinkle in the Aug. 10 primary process is the special mailing that will go out to all unaffiliated voters between June 28 and July 9. The notice will inform these non-party affiliated “independent” voters of the requirements and deadlines of party affiliation required to vote in a primary election. The reasons for voters’ acceptance of mail-in voting are many, but obvious to most. The convenience of not having to go to a polling place on election day and wait in line is important. Issues that appear on ballots are growing in number, length, and complexity. People like to study and consider ballot questions at their leisure before making their ballots. But set against those userfriendly advantages of the mailin ballot are voter concerns about the security and reliability of a mail-in vote. Aside from voters’ personal preference for voting in person, all of the objections that

The owner of a composting operation on Scenic Mesa threatened earlier this month with government regulatory entanglements (DCI, Jan 27) reports that substantial progress has been made in clearing bureaucratic hurdles to his business plan. Tom Kay tells the DCI that he has received a letter from the county planning department stating that his operation will be considered exempt from the county’s specific development regulations. Kay had gone before the BoCC at the planning department’s suggestion to make sure his composting operation would qualify for the agricultural exemption from specific development review and regulation.

The commissioners have agreed, Kay explained, to the ag exemption. But a second issue came up at the commissioners’ meeting that involved apparently more stringent and potentially costly state regulations on his business. Now that issue has also been resolved, Kay said last week. He said he received an e-mail from the county health department stating that his composting operation will also be exempt from a lengthy and complex state process for obtaining a certificate of designation, although it will still be subject to state review. Kay said that county environmental health director Ken Nordstrom was instrumental in helping him clear the potential state regulatory roadblock.

have been raised to mail-in voting have been addressed in one way. For example, Eddins explained that immediately upon opening the voter-signed outer envelope, it is physically separated from the internal security sleeve containing the marked ballot. That procedure alone, Eddins said, guarantees there is no way that any individual ballot can be identified with the voter. The post office gives top priority to delivering ballots by the election day deadline, Loy explained. But if voters don’t want to rely on the post office to deliver their vote, or if they don’t want to pay postage, they can drop their ballot off in person at the courthouse in Delta or the annex in Hotchkiss by 7 p.m. on election day. Voters are welcome to call or schedule a visit to the elections department for an explanation or demonstration of some of the system checks and back-up procedures designed to keep votes confidential and ensure that each vote is correctly counted and tabulated. Also this year, April 6 munici-

pal elections taking place in Delta, Orchard City and Cedaredge will be conducted via mail-in ballot through the county clerk. The

three North Fork Valley municipalities have opted to provide their own polling places, Eddins said.

Teen driver allegedly destroys fence A 15-year-old driver who struck a fence in the 1000 block of Pioneer Road fled the scene, leaving behind a trail of transmission fluid which ultimately led to his identity. DPD officers investigated the accident shortly after 7 a.m. Jan. 31. The teen was issued a summons for alleged violation of restrictions on an instruction permit, careless driving, failure to notify police of an accident, leaving the scene without providing information after striking unattended property, failure to present proof of insurance, and minor operating a motor vehicle between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. In another accident which occurred Jan. 27, Joseph Knob, 20, of Delta slid off the east side of the road as he was driving up Brickyard Hill around 7 p.m. The road was reportedly very slick. Although the damage was minor, the vehicle was hanging off the side of the hill until it was towed from the scene by D & S Towing.

moratoriums. Delta County’s own moratorium for the unincorporated areas of the county is in place through March. The county is in a “wait and see” mode hoping to get any direction possible from the state Legislature and the courts on exactly what kind of dispensary regulation will be legal going forward. It is reported that there is widespread abuse of Colorado’s medical marijuana law taking place. In addition, law enforcement problems that have occurred with the marijuana dispensaries in operation include use of easily forged ID cards that give access to legal marijuana, and armed robberies that have occurred in dispensary parking lots in Grand Junction and other cities. Some people believe that because of Colorado’s medical marijuana amendment and the virtually non-existent law enforcement on small-scale violations of federal use and possession laws, that Denver has more legal marijuana outlets than any other city in America. One tactic that local governments had considered for regulating the pot shops was to adopt an ordinance prohibiting any

federally banned activity in their jurisdictions. Marijuana, though legal under Colorado law is still illegal under federal law. But on Dec. 31 an Arapahoe County district judge ruled that the city of Centennial could not use that federal criteria in banning pot shops. “The city of Centennial can not use the potential violation of a federal law to order a business legally operating under our state constitution to cease and desist its business,” the judge stated. A representative from Orchard City at the municipal quarterly meeting said their town is considering extending its moratorium on dispensaries until some legal guidance from the state or courts is available. Kolman said that existing local government moratoriums can be extended “within the limits of reason.” The municipal quarterly meetings are held regularly for the purpose of giving elected officials in the county a chance to informally compare notes and discuss issues of common concern. Representatives of other taxing entities in the county, utilities, and public service providers also attend the sessions and give updates on their activities.

SEE OUR INSERT IN THIS WEEK’S DCI

Overall flu activity in the United States decreased again slightly during the last few weeks. Though flu activity, caused by either 2009 H1N1 or seasonal flu viruses, may rise and fall, it is expected to continue for several more months. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends influenza vaccination as the first and most important step in protecting against the flu. Because supplies of 2009 H1N1 vaccines are ample, CDC is now encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, including people 65 years and older. Vaccination of people with certain health conditions is especially important because they are more likely to get serious flu-related complications. Health conditions that increase the risk of being hospitalized with 2009 H1N1 include lung disease like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, heart, or neurologic disease, and

Mesa View Mortuary-Cemetery purchased by Taylor Funeral Service By Pat Sunderland Managing Editor

After 41 years of serving families at the toughest time in their lives, and in light of personal health issues, Ray and Alice Penick have sold Mesa View Mortuary-Cemetery to Marge and Chalmer Swain, the owners of Taylor Funeral Service and Crematory. “We decided to take some advice we’ve been giving families for years and retire while we can enjoy it,” Penick said. Taylor Funeral Service and Crematory has four locations throughout Delta County and with the acquisition of Mesa View, will be serving families out of a fifth location at 682 1725 Road, Delta. Marge Swain said they plan to operate out of two Delta locations for the time being. Eventually, they hope to move to the Mesa View site just off Highway 92. The cemetery located near the mortuary will continue to be managed as Mesa View Cem-

etery, but funeral services will eventually be offered under only the Taylor name. “Our intention is to offer the community the same caring service that Ray and Alice did under their ownership,” Marge said. She added that they also intend to honor prepaid plans purchased through Mesa View Mortuary-Cemetery. Ray Penick will serve as a consultant until September. Barry Bullard, the cemetery’s two groundskeepers and Mesa View’s pre-need salesperson, Sonya Bertroch, will be retained by the Swains. Taylor Funeral Service has three mortuary science practitioners — Chalmer Swain, Jesse Arthurs and Lance Boren. Marge Swain is a certified funeral director and Kevin Lucy is a certified funeral director/embalmer. Mike Worthington, Russ Tyler and James Gall assist at funerals and with other family needs. Mesa View Cemetery opened in the early 1960s under the name

of Memory Gardens of Delta County. Mesa View Mortuary was built in 1985 and has been continuously owned and operated by Alice and Ray Penick since that time. They purchased the cemetery in 1995 and began operating under the name of Mesa View Mortuary-Cemetery. Chalmer and Marge Swain acquired a portion of Taylor Funeral Service in 1984 and completed the purchase in 1996. “We wish Ray and Alice the best in their retirement,” Marge said. “We know what a great reputation they have built, and it is sincerely our desire to offer the community the same quality, caring service.” The Penicks plan to remain in the area where they’ve been involved in church and non-profit activities. “We appreciate very much the support that Delta County has given us through the last 25 years and hope we served the families as they desired to be served,” Ray said.

Love once again is in the mail and bound for Loveland and Colorado! Loveland, CO 80538 has the biggest valentine re-mailing program of any community in the world, in which people request the postmark of a special lovethemed named Post Office and community. (Others include Valentine, NE 69201; Romance, AR 72136; Loving, NM 88256; Romeo, MI 48065 and Juliette, GA 31046.) Besides the popular LOVELAND Valentine pictorial postmark, each envelope and postcard is also stamped with a special Loveland souvenir cachet or art design, and love verse. The community and Chamber of Commerce host an annual con-

test to select the special cachet and love verse. Seven-year-old Samantha Connolly of Loveland helped design this year’s pictorial postmark. “I think Samantha is the youngest creator of our Loveland Valentine postmark ever,” says Loveland postmaster Cindy Kinney. “It’s a beautiful illustrated postmark showing two hearts pierced together with an arrow, along with the words Loveland Valentine Station.” To have valentines re-mailed with the Loveland postmark, enclose your pre-stamped, preaddressed envelopes (envelopes should each have 44-cent postage; postcards should have 28cents postage), add extra stamps/ postage for heavier/odd shaped

and square valentines, mail in a large stamped envelope or package with postage to: Postmaster Valentine Re-mailing 446 E. 29th St. Loveland, CO 80538 You can save the cost of the extra stamps and envelopes, however. Judy Anderson, a former resident of Loveland, has arranged drop boxes in businesses around Delta County to make it easy to send a valentine with the Loveland postmark. Simply drop off your card, fully addressed with the appropriate postage, and it will be delivered to Loveland for a special cachet on the envelope. Drop sites are as follows (deadlines are in parentheses): In Delta at City Market (Feb. 5) and Delta Food Town (Feb. 9); City Market of Hotchkiss (Feb. 5); Hays Drug in Paonia (Feb. 4); and Cedaredge Food Town (Feb. 9).

Dominguez-Escalante panel draws 26 nominations By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

A lengthy process of selection consisting of nomination, review, local political input, state political review, and ultimately presidential cabinet-level approval awaits 26 local people. Ten of those people will make the final cut and be selected to serve on the Bureau of Land Management’s DominguezEscalante Advisory Committee. Applicants who are willing to face the stiff competition and high-level political vetting may

Altrusa scholarship applications available Altrusa International of Delta is accepting applications for its annual scholarship program. The Altrusa scholarship is designed specifically for the non-traditional Delta County adult student who is desiring to continue his/her education. This does not include immediate high school graduates. Applications for interested students are available at Delta-Montrose Technical College and the public libraries in Delta, Cedaredge, Hotchkiss, Paonia and Crawford, or as a pdf form at www.altrusainternationalofdelta.com/5.html. Prior recipients of the scholarship are eligible to reapply provided they meet current guidelines. Application deadline is April 7.

have to wait four to six months to learn if they have been chosen, according to Katie Stevens, interim manager of the BLM’s new national conservation area and wilderness east of Delta. Applicants for a place on the advisory committee are angling for the chance to have a voice in determining how the BLM’s new Dominguez-Escalante NCA and Big Dominguez Wilderness Area will be managed. Nominations were due by Jan. 4. The committee will have a short life. Once its recommendations on management prescriptions for the DominguezEscalante area become officially part of a new resource management plan, the committee will be disbanded, Stevens said. The committee’s policy recommendations will then become the province of BLM staff personnel with the Uncompahgre and Grand Junction BLM field offices. Stevens explained to the DCI that the 26 nominations received would be reviewed at the initial level “basically” by three people: herself, and BLM field office managers Barb Sharrow of Montrose and Katherine Robertson of Grand Junction.

field staff personnel may also be involved in the “review process.” The first level of political vetting will include input from three political bodies: the county commissioners of Delta, Montrose, and Mesa counties. The nomination criteria state, “One member shall be appointed after considering the recommendations of the Delta County Commission,” and also the other two county commissions. Next, there will be state level BLM input into the process of selection before names are forwarded on to the Colorado Governor’s office. Stevens did not say at what stages of the process names would begin to be tossed off the list or downlisted for further consideration. The national BLM hierarchy will get its chance to give input on the names before the secretary of the interior approves the final list of 10. Nominations were sought from people with specific backgrounds that would represent a spectrum of stakeholder interests considered relevant to management of the new NCA and wilderness.

er-in-chief as that year’s topic. The essays are judged on originality, content and delivery at the various levels (local post, district, state and national). The winners at each level are then recognized and awarded prizes. The VOD allows students the opportunity to voice their opinion on the theme selected, and because the VFW is a patriotic organization, the theme is always related to patriotism. According to Tollefson, this year’s theme was “Does America Still Have Heroes?” The Patriot’s essay competition theme for this year was “Does Patriotism Still Matter?” Anthony Jump was selected as the winner of the local contest, and was awarded a $100 U.S. Savings Bond. Dessa Markley was second, winning a $75 savings bond, and third place was awarded to Jheri Gates, who received a $50 savings bond. All are Cedaredge High School students. Madison Echkart was the winner of the Patriot Pen essay contest for middle school students. She recieved a $100 savings bond. Second place and a $75 savings bond went to Peter Williamson, and third place and a $50 savings bond went to Austin Gartman. All are Cedaredge Middle School students. The top two in each contest advance to the District 11 competition, as does Miss Perdue. Judges for the Patriot Pen Essay included Darlene Fritchman, Bill and Jan Nobel, Kathleen Sickles and Tom McLamb. Echkart and Jump both read their essays to the veterans and their guests gathered for the event. In her essay, Madison wrote, “It is such a monstrous event when a nation declares war against another country ... it is not those who declare such an act that have courage, but those who immediately step forth to stop the war. Here we are safe at home and work, unaware of the monstrosity occurring on the same planet. We are one! Our leaves are different colors, but we live on the same tree.” Anthony wrote, “Not all heroes are easy to spot. Often times they come in small packages. But no matter how big or small a hero is, they make a huge impact on those they help, protect and serve. These are the heroes of America, and there are more [heroes] here than anywhere else

Rebekahs are active in the community and beyond By Verna Barr Staff Writer

On January 7, 1905, a charter was instituted for Elberta Rebekah Lodge # 106 in Cedaredge. This was only one year after the men had instituted Peach Belt Lodge #149 in Cedaredge on February 17, 1904. Paonia Rebekah Lodge #77 consolidated with the Cedaredge Elberta Rebekah Lodge # 106 on February 3, 1991. Rebekahs were given owner-

ship and responsibility for the IOOF building constructed in 1940 on Main Street, Cedaredge. Transfer took place on May 29, 2009 when the local men’s organization, Peach Belt Lodge #149, surrendered their charter to the Grand Lodge of Colorado. Men can be members of Rebekahs. Six men are members of #106. All members are actively involved in a variety of civic and philanthropic efforts on local, national and international levels.

Some of the many past local fund raising efforts have been: a special bed for the Hospice room at Horizons; furniture for DCMH for one waiting room; a memberdecorated tree that was auctioned with proceeds to Hospice; soup dinner with food and cash donations to Cedaredge Food Bank. Ongoing local projects are: funds to purchase items for the senior citizens’ Christmas gift bags to shut-ins; CHS graduation fund; CHS senior award

Birds of the Western Slope A look at local birds with Evelyn Horn Belted Kingfisher We’re driving on Highway 65 toward Delta, approaching the bridge that crosses the Gunnison River and on the wire above the river is a bird — a kingfisher! But there’s too much traffic to stop for a better look. As we drive on to Grand Junction on Highway 92, I try to recall what I saw in that brief glimpse: a medium sized bird with a oversized bluish head, reddish band across a white breast, and a very large, thick bill. The tail was small, and the legs were very short. That describes a kingfisher. I’m pleased that I could get that much information in the brief look! As we go along Highway 92, I check the bird in “Sibley’s Guide to Birds.” This bird goes by the label of belted kingfisher, is shown as 13 inches long (slightly larger than a robin) and weighs about five ounces. The male has a blue band across a white breast while the female has two bands, one darkish and the lower one red. So, my bird is a female. The back and wings are dark blue, with the tail barred black and white: I sure didn’t get that detail! The belted kingfisher winters into Mexico and northern South America, with nesting as far north as Alaska, and can be found most of the time throughout the United States. Sibley shows a ringed kingfisher (blue back, solid red breast), and a green kingfisher (green

perch above the water with their parents, who drop edibles into water to teach them how to fish. What fun it would be to get better acquainted with the kingfisher!

back, white breast). Both live south of us and I’ve never seen either. Sibley’s drawing clearly displays the bill: very large and heavy. The bird has a shaggy crest, and is shown diving and hovering as well. And that matches my memory file of the good sighting Allen and I had of a kingfisher at a state wildlife refuge north of Socorro, N.M. We were walking along a path, and spotted a kingfisher perched on a branch above the channel. Then the bird sailed out over the water to hover above the surface, an uncommon ability in the bird world. We were amazed: we’d seen this pictured in guides, but we’d never seen the real thing! (My drawing is a crude copy from Sibley’s guide). Then the kingfisher dived, and came up with a small fish. These birds are common, but often not noticed. I’ve read that the pair dig a three foot long burrow into a vertical bank, and that they eject pellets of the indigestible parts of the fish that are their main diet. The young

Public Notices —————— Public Notices —————— Legal Notice Notice of Public Hearing Delta County Ginters Grove Public Improvement District Delta County, Colorado Date: March 15, 2010 Time: 3:00 p.m. Place: County Court House, Rm. 236 Address: 501 Palmer, Delta, CO Topic: Delta County Ginters Grove Public Improvement District Domestic Water Pipeline Replacement Plan – Preliminary Engineering Report (PER). A public meeting will be conducted for informing the citizens and soliciting public input, written or oral, regarding the Delta County Ginters Grove Public Improvement District Domestic Water Pipeline Replacement Plan and Preliminary Engineering Report (PER). The PER is a report detailing the project consisting of replacing the initial water line constructed sometime in 1975. The line is a combination of four-inch galvanized steel and four-inch cement lined ductile iron pipe. The water line runs from a master meter located on Shady Oaks Ave and Highway 65 continuing east, then south through the middle of the Ginters Grove Public Improvement District. Ginters Grove Public Improvement District is responsible for the maintenance and repair of its water lines, while The Town of Cedaredge provides domestic water through the master meter. The PER is being submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to qualify the District for a State Revolving Fund (DWRF) Loan. The PER evaluated the cost of the recommended improvements (Appendix C of the PER). The Ginters Grove Public Improvement District is seeking a combination of a grant and/ or no interest loan monies to cover the costs. It is anticipated that the full build out will allow for the users of the water system to pay off the debt. Debt repayment will be based on the actual loan/grant proportions. No other costs to operate or continue to remain compliant with Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) regulations and permits are anticipated from the proposed improvements. Copies of the Preliminary Engineering Report are available for public review prior to the Public Hearing at the following location: Carl Eichman 545 NE Ginters Grove Lane Cedaredge, CO. 81413 970-856-7959 Delta County Attorney’s Office 320 West 5th Street Delta, CO 81416-1610 970-874-2090 The points of contact for the Delta County Ginters Grove Public Improvement District are: Carl Eichman 545 NE Ginters Grove Lane Cedaredge, CO. 81413 970-856-7959 Karen Wagner 569 NE Ginters Grove Lane Cedaredge, CO 81413 970-856-6307 Published in the Delta County Independent February 3, 2010.

Kiwanis donate to Delta Opportunity School’s ‘Food for Thought’ program Lynn Shirk, president-elect of the Kiwanis Club of Delta, stopped by the Delta Opportunity School recently to drop off a check in the amount of $250 to support the school’s major service learning project, Food For Thought. DOS students had presented a program to the Delta Kiwanis Club telling of their school’s service learning project. Being a kid-oriented service organization, Kiwanis was glad to show support of this project. Through the Food For Thought program, launched in

November, students send home backpacks of food with students who, for a variety of reasons, need some assistance with meals over the weekend. The DOS students are well aware of the fact that when a person is hungry and/or worrying about food it is difficult to think about anything else, hence the name of the program, Food For Thought. The mission of the program is to enable children to think about their schooling rather than if there will be enough food and if they’ll be hungry.

The DOS students started with a pilot program of 10 students at BELA preschool, and this month expanded that pilot to include up to 40 more students from Lincoln Elementary, Garnet Mesa Elementary, and Delta Middle schools. Their ultimate goal is to be able to provide backpacks to any and all students in need in Delta County. Anyone with questions about the program, or who would like to make a donation in support of it, can call the Delta Opportunity School at 874-2753.

Review

‘Men of Worth’ — two gems from Ireland, Scotland By Charlie Huff Delta-Montrose Community Concert Association

Last Friday evening, the 29th, the residents of the Gunnison Valley area, their friends, and guests were treated to another uniquely enjoyable performance brought to the stage by your Delta-Montrose Community Concert Association (DMCCA). This time we experienced the music, singing, and the homespun humor of James Keigher and fellow performer Donnie Macdonald, each a long-time

immigrant to America, James from the west of Ireland and Donnie the west coast of Scotland. They have been performing together as a duo for over two decades, bringing Scottish and Irish folk song and music to audiences throughout America and Europe. Their stage title of “Men of Worth” was derived from a Scottish folk song of the same name. After all these years residing on our West Coast, they have each retained their native

brogues which adds character and authenticity to their style of presenting the Irish and Scottish folk music and ballads which they perform with the simplicity, melancholy, and sweet emotions so characteristic of this art form which has had a distinct and profound niche in American immigrant musical heritage. The audience seemed to feel a genuine kinship with James and Donnie as we were often invited to sing along with them in the choruses of familiar tunes

such as “Loch Lomond” or even “Up Mayo”— a two-word chorus! Indeed it was a most enjoyable evening for all who took advantage of the break in the icy weather to attend. Our next “concert” will be held on Thursday, Feb. 25 — same time (7:30 p.m.), same place (The Performing Arts Center). It will be truly a one man circus performed by the talented clown and showman Jamie Adkins! We trust we’ll see you there!

the hallways are crowded with preschoolers, moms and dads picking kids up from school, and younger siblings peering into classrooms for a glimpse of their brothers or sisters. The classrooms and offices are a colorful display of controlled chaos, high energy and lots of noise — all things one would expect from a busy, productive preschool. Just down the hall, in a meeting room behind a closed door to block the sounds of chattering kids, four women sit around a table. Though each of them arguably has had a great deal of influence on the success of Delta County’s Backpack Program and preschool, each is quick to deflect any acknowledgment of their work. Instead, they want to talk about the program, because the program is what they love, what they’ve spent days and days working in and for and towards. At the table are Terry Hotz and Judy Fairchild, “two of the most humble women in the world,” said Angela Fedler, who is also there with Lisa Mock. Hotz and Fairchild have been involved in Delta County’s Backpack Program for 17 years and 15 years, respectively. They have been witnesses to the program’s growth from 27 participants in the early ‘90s, to now about 470 participants, three preschools and several other programs. In 1992, the school district began the Backpack Program to serve families of preschool-aged children with take-home boxes filled with language-rich, developmentally appropriate books, materials, art supplies, games, puppets and other toys. The materials were selected specifically to teach children, through play time, different skills in order to prepare them for kindergarten. The boxes also served as a means to get parents to play with their children, strengthening the parent-child bond and giving parents increased involvement with their child’s early development. The program has grown from those first boxes to now include 650 boxes in 56 different themes, bilingual boxes, and boxes for developmentally delayed children and accelerated learners. The program started in Cedaredge, where Hotz was hired as the program facilitator in 1993. When she started, she had two assistants, but the program grew enough to necessitate hiring an additional assistant and in 1995, Fairchild joined the program as well. The program moved from the creation of the take-home boxes to developmental screenings of children in the program, to outreach, where the staff organized play groups, story times and book fairs. The program developed further into a public preschool program, called the Backpack Early Learning Academy (BELA) in 2003. The two first preschools were at Lincoln Elementary and Garnet Mesa Elementary schools. In 2005, grant monies helped the BELA program

expand, and now, there is a BELA preschool in Delta, Hotchkiss and Crawford, and a private preschool each in Cedaredge and Paonia contract with the program to offer tuition assistance to qualifying students. The program morphed once more, and grew to include parenting programs and the Family Literacy program, which teaches English language skills, GED training and adult literacy skills. “The school district has been incredibly supportive of early childhood education,” Hotz said. “Parents are fortunate to live in such an incredible district.” It isn’t easy to ignore Hotz’s and Fairchild’s involvement in the success of the program — Fedler calls the two women “an asset to Delta County” — but they try. And after years in the program, both retired in June 2009. Unwilling to leave the program, however, each continues to work in the program under work agreements with the school district in a support, advisory and sometimes a mentoring capacity. “We do whatever we need to do,” Hotz said. Stepping up to fill Hotz’s and Fairchild’s shoes in the program are Fedler, who is the director of BELA, and Mock, who is the program facilitator. Both took these positions in August 2009. About the Backpack Program, and Hotz’s and Fairchild’s work therein, Fedler said, “The foundation has been laid, and it couldn’t be any stronger than it is now.” She said the focus of the program will remain to support parents as a child’s first teacher, but said growing the program is inevitable. Mock added that when Hotz and Fairchild first started with the program, they probably didn’t imagine it would grow to what it is today. “The future is wide open,” she said. “I can look down the road and say we have great things coming; we may just not know what they are.” Whatever comes, Mock and Fedler are prepared to handle it, thanks in part to the successful program nurtured by their predecessors. “The four of us would like to thank the community for all its support,” Hotz said. She and Fairchild plan to work with the program until May. For more information on BELA, the Backpack Program or the Family Literacy Program, call 874-9517.

Lady Eagles dismantle Wildcats By Tamie Meck DCI Sports Writer

The Lady Eagles won their only game of the week, against North Park, defeating the Wildcats 39-70. North Park is a 1A team and had only eight players on its roster. The score belies the Wildcats’ ability to play, said head coach Scott Rienks. “They’re a better team than most think.” North Park started strong, ending the first quarter at an 11-11 tie.

“They run zone, all they do is run zone,” said Rienks. It took a while for his team to adjust, but once they did, the Eagles were able to score fairly easily and prevent turnovers. Paonia had 13 first-half turnovers, and only four in the second half. With no easy outside shots available early in the game, the team shifted to shooting on the inside, which opened up outside shooting opportunities. Jordyn Rienks and Leslie Trujillo, both starters, got into early foul trouble and spent much of the first half

on the bench. The Eagles were able to hold North Park’s two top shooters, Hillary Rizor and Kaitlyn Hanson, who both average 14 points per game, to 13 total points. Johanna Reed had one of her best games of the year, said Rienks, hitting two 3-pointers and 3-4 in freethrows and making five steals. Reed and Grayson Pipher each scored 17 points, with Pipher making eight rebounds and four steals. Getting off to a slow start against North Park was a wake-

up call for his team, said Rienks, who was very unhappy about the high number of fouls committed. The Eagles face their toughest opponent, Hayden, currently undefeated in league play, this Friday at home and can’t afford the mistakes. Varsity play begins at 5 p.m. Colorado Preps currently ranks Paonia No. 1 in state 2A play, with Hayden the only other Western Slope team ranked, at ninth, in the Top 10. Paonia has only four games remaining before district playoffs Feb. 20.

Paonia wrestlers peaking at right time By Tamie Meck DCI Sports Writer

The Paonia Eagles wrestling team added two to its win category last weekend, starting with a 51-22 win over Rocky Ford High School. The meet was held Friday night at Central. Matches won by pin included Preston Bonine (125) against Jeremiah Balderas, James Drinkhouse (140) v. Brandon Dickinson, K.C. Martin (171) v. William Lutz, Morgan Rieder (189) v. Tim Gearhart, Myles Cumpston (215) v. Ben Smithey, and Zach Solaas (285) v. Jose Teopa. Adrian Lopez (130) defeated Michael Smithey in a 7-2 decision and Cody Rapke (135) and Justin Smith (160) won by forfeit. Two matches were close, including K.C. Christina (145),

who was defeated by Angel Ramos in a 2-3 decision, and Kyler Bear (152), who lost in a 4-6 decision to Bo Soden. Paonia then took first place at the Valley Classic tournament, held Saturday at Central, with 230 points. Senior Justin Smith (160 pounds) was also awarded the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler in the upper weights. Championships went to Bonine, Lopez, Drinkhouse, Smith, Martin, Cumpston and Solaas. Rieder was the team’s only second place finisher. “All 17 wrestlers placed,” said head coach Andy Pipher. “It looks like we’re going to peak just at the right time.” Paonia has just one more meet prior to regionals, against Central at Mesa State, this Thursday.

PAONIA’S DANIEL FORD COMES down with a rebound against North Park Saturday.

With only one game scheduled, the Paonia boys basketball team had a relatively easy weekend, defeating the North Park Wildcats 34-85. North Park, a 1A school, has only seven players on its roster. All players on the Eagles roster not only got some court time, they all scored. Adrian Penny continued his high-scoring run with 12, followed by Taylor Bradford with 10. Three-point

scorers included Penny with two, and Noah Kropp, Nate Huey and Trevor Walters all with one. The Eagles, currently 6-9 overall and 3-1 in league play, will face a tough opponent, Hayden, Friday at home. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Hayden is currently 11-4 overall, with a 4-1 league record. Paonia will be on the road Saturday to face Soroco (3-4, 02). Paonia plays DeBeque and Meeker the following week

Senior girls dedicated to Eagles’ success By Tamie Meck DCI Sports Writer

In 2005, the Paonia Lady Eagles had but one senior on their team. This year, they have eight. And what a team of seniors they are. An entire story could be written about their many All-Conference and All-State honors in basketball, volleyball, track, soccer and cross-country. They have a combined grade point average of 3.92, are all three-sport athletes, and together they boast a three-year win-loss record in basketball of 58-9. That record includes their two trips thus far to the state finals. One of these seniors played at the state finals every year since her freshman year. And these seniors really want another trip to state. So much so that they played 35 games as a team last summer to keep from getting rusty. And while they are a strong team, they are also amazing individuals. Johanna “Jo” Reed, one of the team’s co-captains, began her varsity basketball career as a freshman, making the starting team and helping to carry her team to the state finals. Reed, a guard, played along side older sister Jamie for three years. They played side by side at all three state tournaments. Last year, the team was the state runner-up. “It gets harder each year,” said Reed. “There are a lot of expectations.” Until this year, Reed has followed in the footsteps of her upperclassmen. “Now I’m the upperclassman,” she said with a big smile. Reed’s sister, Chelsy, is a freshman on the JV and varsity squads and shares her sisters’ talents. If Paonia makes the state finals next month, it will be Jo Reed’s 11th trip to state. Reed comes from a competitive family and was coached by her dad from an early age. She played Amateur Athletic Union, or AAU basketball beginning in fifth grade, and won the Elks state Hoops Shoot in eighth grade. This year she has hit 67

percent of her free throws. Her ball-handling abilities have made her invaluable as a guard, where she consistently presses players much taller and bigger. In scrambles for a loose ball, it’s not unusual to see her emerge from the mass, controlling the ball. When double-teamed, she finds a way out. She has an uncanny ability to read plays and react to the benefit of her team. Many a foe has regretted leaving her alone at the 3-point line. Reed also ran at all four state cross-country meets, placing, from freshman to senior year, 12th, 37th, 9th and 5th. She is also a four-time champion of the Anna Banana Memorial Wildcat Invitational, a 5,000-meter race held annually in Delta, running her best time of 18:57:00 her senior year. Reed also helped her team to second place and a state championship in the 4X800meter race, has placed second in the 800 and 1600, and was state champion in the 3200 her freshman year. She has her sights set on Colorado State University and hopes to run for the school. She is also active the 4-H club and is co-class president, along with teammates Grayson Pipher and Jordyn Rienks. Rienks doesn’t remember a life without basketball. “I first played peewee basketball in third grade,” said Rienks, daughter of head coach Scott Rienks. “And I was always at dad’s practice.” Rienks moved her sophomore year to Paonia from DeBeque, where she played varsity as a freshman. She’s constantly in motion on court and can read plays with amazing insight and skill. She hopes to play basketball at the college level and has been contacted by several colleges after being scouted while playing last summer with a traveling team from Littleton. The team played 25 games, traveling to Colorado Springs, Denver, Seattle, and Portland, Ore., prompting calls from, among others, Rochester, Ottowa and Johnson & Wales. Reinks is also outstanding on the volleyball court, and is a top discus and shot put thrower on the track team.

They truly don’t care who’s top scorer. As a coach, you couldn’t ask for anything more. I can joke with them, or I can chew them out, and they don’t get mad.

On the bright side, he still has four sophomores and 10 freshmen who will move up a grade next year. And they all have high GPAs, have played basketball together since grade school, and want, really, really bad, to get to state as a basketball team after this group of seniors graduates. But that’s a story that will have to wait. The Lady Eagles face Hayden on Friday (5 p.m.) and are at Soroco on Saturday (2:30 p.m.).

Cedaredge girls even WSL record By Wayne Crick DCI Sports Editor

A pair of wins in the 3A WSL ranks has Cedaredge High School’s Lady Bruins’ basketball team even in league play with a 4-4 record. Cedaredge scored a 55-30 victory in Carbondale against Roaring Fork on Friday and hosted Gunnison on Saturday for a 45-35 win. After a 14-7 start against the Lady Rams on Friday, Cedaredge got serious on the defensive side of the court and held Roaring Fork scoreless while scoring 11 counters of their own in the second quarter. The Lady Bruins were in

cruise control with a 25-7 halftime lead. Caitlin Walker had seven points to lead Cedaredge scorers at the break. The defense remembered what they had done in the second period when play continued in the third frame. Another strong defensive effort stymied the Lady Rams as Cedaredge rolled to a 17-6 run in the third. Roaring Fork’s late ralley was too little and too late as the Lady Bruins survived a 16-13 run to finish the game at 55-30. All but one Lady Bruin scored in the game with Walker’s 11 points leading the way. Alli Zeigel

canned 18 counters for Roaring Fork and claimed game scoring honors. Saturday afternoon’s game against Gunnison was a bit more challenging in the early stages. The Lady Cowboys were looking for a bit of revenge for the earlier season loss to Cedaredge. A tight first quarter left Gunnison ahead by two, 12-10, as the period came to an end. The Lady Bruins stepped up their defensive efforts in the second quarter and used a methodical offense to expand their lead (25-18) over Gunnison by halftime. Even though Cedaredge’s

offense wasn’t overly productive, their defense helped them to a 9-6 edge and a 34-24 lead heading into the final period. Neither team gained an advantge in the final quarter as each team scored 11 points. Amber Farr had 12 points to lead the Lady Bruins with Deal’s 11 close behind. Kirsten Nelson had 14 points to pace Gunnison’s offense and Alyssa Nelson chipped in 12 markers to give the Cowboys two players with double digits. Cedaredge is set to host Aspen on Feb. 5 at 6 p.m. and then plays in Parachute against Grand Valley with the tipoff set for 4 p.m.

Bruin boys split hardwood games By Wayne Crick DCI Sports Editor

Cedaredge High School’s Bruins were leading 34-24 head-

ing into the final period against Roaring Fork last Friday (Jan. 29). The bottom dropped out of the boat the Bruins were riding in and Roaing Fork grabbed all the life preservers to score a 52-44 win. A 28-10 last quarter spelled defeat for the Bruins. Saturday night’s contest against the visiting Gunnison Cowboys had a better result as the Bruins held on for a 60-54 decision. Friday’s battle with Roaring Fork was close in the first half as each team scored 18 points. Cedaredge seemed to have a decided advantage to begin the second half with the Bruins

jumping on Roaring Fork for a 16-6 run in the third period. The 10-point lead did not last as Roaring Fork found flaws in the Bruins’ defense that enabled the Rams to outscore Cedaredge 28-10 in te last quarter and take an eight-point victory. T.K. Ullery was Cedaredge’s leading scorer with 13 points. Saturday’s contest against the Cowboys started slow and stayed close throughout the evening. A single point (8-9) separated the two teams after one period of action. The Bruins stretched its lead to seven after outscoring Gunnison 14-8 in the second stanza.

A determined Cowboys’ team regrouped and cut Cedaredge’s lead by five (35-33) with a 17-12 third quarter. Cedaredge gained some breathing room, and the win, with a 25-21 run in the fourth quarter. Cade Sweeney exploded for 26 points to lead Cedaredge to the victory. Teammates Burke Lowry and Geordan Brewer finished with 10 points each. Cedaredge is at home on Friday against Aspen on Friday (7:30 p.m.) and plays in Parachute against Grand Valley’s Cardinals on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

The results of the Lady Bulldogs’ two weekend games were the reverse of the boys’ games: They were defeated by the Olathe Pirates, but managed to dominate the Aspen Skiers. On Friday, the Lady Bulldogs faced the Pirates in Olathe, but soon found they weren’t quite on top of their game. The Pirates defeated the Bulldogs, 30-50.

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY February 4, 1910 (From the Delta County Independent) In giving out information regarding the Uncompahgre lands, Commissioner Dennett, of the General Land Office, states that it will be a year or more before the irrigation project will be completed and that there will be no notice of further opening until such notice can be given through the public press. But the Commissioner adds that about 16,000 acres in the Montrose Land District, which was formerly withdrawn for the Grand Valley project, has been restored to public domain and will be subject to settlement on and after March 21, and to entry after April 20, 1910. This is perhaps the information which started the report that Uncompahgre lands would be opened in April. *** An article in the Rocky Mountain News last Saturday stated that the Denver & Rio Grande would build a road from Austin, on the North Fork branch, to Cedaredge. We do not know whether this is in conflict with other propositions to build roads to Cedaredge or not. Certain it is that Cedaredge and the Surface Creek country need a railroad, and the Rio Grande is in a position to build quickly. *** A Texas man has traded 100,000 acres of land for 100,000 gallons of whisky. Simply a matter of exchanging acres for head achers. *** There isn’t a single slip or backward step in Western Slope progress. Everything is going forward. Not merely moving, but going by leaps and bounds. Particularly is this true of Delta county, which is blessed with the class of people who do things. Improvements are planned almost faster than they can be told about, and the work will grow more active month by month. Investments are being made that amount to millions in a year. New people are constantly coming, and the new blood thus supplied keeps the great development body surging highly charged energy. The man who sees Delta county today, should he return in five years, will see a multiplied population

Olathe outscored Hotchkiss in all but one quarter, leaving them behind at the half, 16-31. Hotchkiss’s defense kept CeCe Pieper from scoring in the first quarter, but she chalked up seven in the second, including going 3-6 from the freethrow line. The Pirates held her to just seven in the second half, including a three-pointer in the fourth. Amy Miller managed eight points, including one three-pointer.

and expanse of industry not now dreamed of. The foundation of merit now proven in diversified resources, warrants such a prophecy. Great is the future of Delta county – the banner county not alone of Colorado, but of the United States. *** The freight crew which handled the train on which the fireman was killed at Chipeta the other day, now has charge of a freight on the North Fork branch. The engineer says that that wreck made the sixth engine that he has put out of commission. *** The Elliot Café opened up for business in the basement of Lincoln block the first of this week. *** A new water main is being laid along Fifth street on the east side. *** Wednesday was ground hog day and was divided up between clouds and sunshine, most of the day being cloudy. Delta boosters had prepared for any emergency by getting umbrellas ready to hold over Mr. Chuck should the day be clear. Between smudge pots and umbrellas Jack Frost and the G.H. don’t have a ghost of a show on the Western Slope. *** The June Hopkins Company have leased the room recently occupied by Gale Bros., in the I.O.O.F. building, and are opening up a first class stock of shoes, hosiery, underwear, shirts, gloves, hats and everything usually kept in a first class furnishing store. As an introduction to the trade they will offer special inducements in prices and quality of goods. *** Albert Cook has a wireless telegraph station at his home on Dodge street, and is doing some interesting experimenting. *** The postmaster at Austin is in receipt of a communication from the department with a request that it be published in the local papers, as follows: After February 15, the rural mail carriers will not be required to take loose pennies from mail boxes. Patrons must either place the small coins in envelopes or wrap them securely in paper. ***

On Saturday, the Lady Bulldogs dominated the 3-8 Aspen Skiers at home, 44-64. Pieper scored a whopping 28 points, of which 24 were scored in the second half. Pieper was also 9-12 in freethrows. Renea Ranch put up 13 points, including one from the three-point line. Sarah Koontz, who has averaged just under five points per game, scored eight by hitting one field goal per quarter. The Lady Bulldogs are now 8-5 overall, 7-3 in league play. They will meet the 12-2 Grand Valley Cardinals at home this Friday, with play scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. On Saturday, the Bulldogs travel to New Castle to face the Coal Ridge Titans, who are currently 6-7 and 5-5 in league play.

Panther boys moving up in 4A WSL play By Wayne Crick DCI Sports Editor

Unofficially, the Delta Panthers have moved into third place in the WSL’s 4A boys division after a pair of victories this past week. Delta eased past Palisade on Jan. 26 by the score of 61-55 and then vaulted over the Bulldogs in league standings with a huge 73-51 win over Rifle on Saturday. Glenwood Springs and Steamboat Springs continue to lead the way with perfect records in league play with Delta easing into third with their 5-3 record.

SINCE MOVING UP TO the varsity level in basketball, Delta’s Jake Ames has provided many variations of passing and shooting as seen in these two photos. At the left, Ames is looking for a teammate to pass the ball to. The photo above was one of Ames’ shots that eventually fell giving rise to a chorus of oohs and aahs from the crowd.

Lady Panthers thump PHS, lose to league-leading Rifle DCI Sports Editor

Had it not been for some inopportune shooting and ill-timed turnovers against Rifle on Friday night, the Lady Panthers may well have found themselves in a highly admirable spot in league standings. Delta took care of Palisade’s Lady Bulldogs last Tuesday with a 52-44 win in Palisade. The win moves Delta ahead of Palisade and into a more favorable position heading into the second half of league play. A 74-62 loss to league-leading Rifle on Friday evens Delta’s record at 4-4 in the WSL. The Lady Panthers took control of the contest in Palisade with a 15-8 first quarter. Jenni Jones and Lindsea Velasquez tallied four points each in the run

for Delta. Delta continued to control the game’s tempo in second quarter play as they took a 25-16 lead to their locker room at halftime. Palisade found a small window of opportunity in the third frame to shave three points off Delta’s lead. Half of Delta’s points in the fourth quarter came from the freethrow line as the Lady Panthers held off the surging Palisade squad to win the quarter 16-14 making the final score 52-44. Freshman Skylyn Webb was the leading scorer in the game with 15 points for the Lady Panthers. Meghan Peters led Palisade with 14 points. Friday’s matchup with Rifle wasn’t nearly the runaway win

DELTA’S JENNI JONES (00) puts up a shot against league-leading Rifle last Saturday afternoon in Delta. The Lady Panthers’ Skylyn Webb (10) watches Jones’ shot. Delta defeated Palisade on Jan. 26 but could not get shots to fall late in the game as Rifle scored a 74-62 win in WSL play.

for the Lady Bears as it was in the two team’s first meeting in Rifle. Even though Rifle tried to do the same things they had done in the first meeting, the Lady Panthers were prepared and negated many of the ploys used by Rifle. Courtney Cordova had 37 points for the Lady Bears the first time these two teams met and her totals were almost as high this time as well. Cordova finished with 30 markers; 18 coming in the first half of play. Rifle eased to a 17-12 advantage after one period and used Cordova’s 11-point outburst in the second stanza to post a 36-27 halftime lead. The Lady Panthers used good ball movement, and the scoring of Jones (10 points in the period), to outscore Rifle 20-15 in the third period. Delta’s comeback had reduced the doubledigit deficit of Rifle to two as the quarter neared completion. Rifle was able to take a 51-47 lead to the final stanza and regained a measure of potence with a 23-15 run in the last eight minutes of the game. A more productive percentage from the freethrow line could have benefitted the Lady Panthers. Rifle was whistled for 27 fouls with Delta parading to the charity stripe for 41 attempts and capitalizing on 27 of those shots. The Lady Bears were 23 of 29 at the line. Delta’s leading scorer was Jones with 19. Katie Kahrs provided great support with her 17 counters for the Lady Panthers. Delta is on the road for their annual northern trek and a pair of tough games in WSL play this weekend. They open with Moffat County on Friday night at 6 p.m. and then face Steamboat Springs on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.

Bulldog boys beat Olathe, lose to Aspen in basketball By Tamie Meck DCI Sports Writer

The Hotchkiss Bulldogs celebrated a big win this weekend, and they suffered a big loss. The Bulldogs defeated Olathe Friday, at Olathe, 51-68. The team had been in a bit of a shooting slump recently, but came out of it at Olathe, said head coach Kyle Crowder. All but two players were able to score on the Pirates, which helps with team morale. Olathe shot well, especially from the outside. But Hotchkiss was able to react and neutralize them in the post. J.T. Hotchkiss, the game’s top scorer for Hotchkiss, helped considerably. “He hangs around under the basket, looking for opportunities to shoot and rebound,” said Crowder. And Pat Sullivan, who scored 15, was one of the controlling factors over Olathe. Steven Floyd, who averages more than 13 points per

game, was held to just eight, but had “a ton of rebounds, especially in the first half.” With Hotchkiss leading 3718 at the end of the first half, Crowder said the team didn’t play their best the second half, which happens often to teams who gain big leads early in the game. Fortunately, Hotchkiss was able to maintain control and come out with a win. Saturday’s game was a bit tougher, with the Aspen Skiers defeating Hotchkiss 49-61. Hotchkiss stayed within about five points throughout most of the game against the undefeated Skiers, but were out-shot in the last minutes of the fourth, especially from the outside. Hotchkiss was within five points of the Skiers up until the last few minutes of the game, when the Skiers ramped up their shooting. The Skiers, with one six-footeight-inch player and two six-

with seven and six points respectively. Palisade’s Hayden was the game’s leading scorer with 23 points with the Panthers’ Tim Ashurst leading the way for Delta with 14 points. Jake Ames and Decker contributed 13 points each in the winning cause. A strong defense coupled with an opportunistic offense avenged an eight-point loss to Rifle earlier in the season with a 22-point win at home. Eli Baier played a brilliant game on both ends of the floor and scored 28 points to earn game-scoring honors. Delta trailed 15-13 after one period but held a 30-28 halftime lead with Baier’s 11 counters leading the way for the Pan-

thers. Rifle’s Ryan Creech had 14 points for the Bears at the break. Defensive pressure by the Panthers in the third quarter helped Delta take a 47-38 lead entering the fourth period. A nine-point effort by Baier helped Delta double Rifle’s score for the final stanza as the Panthers raced to a 26-13 finish. Decker’s 12 points gave the Panthers two players in double figures in the game. Creech had 21 markers for the Bears with teammate Tyler Rust adding 11 in a support role. A look ahead to next week finds the Panthers off to the north where they face Moffat County on Friday night (7:30 p.m.) and Steamboat Springs Saturday afternoon at 5:30 p.m.

Swim team honors seniors

Palisade is 5-4. The Panthers spotted Palisade a 20-8 lead after one period Jan. 26 in Palisade. Jeremy Hayden ripped the nets for 11 points in the run. Delta began their comeback in the second frame by outscoring the Bulldogs 12-9 to trail by 29-20 at halftime. Delta shaved another eight points off Palisade’s lead in the third quarter and trailed by just one point, 37-36, heading into the final stanza of action. The final margin of victory for the Panthers was achieved in the fourth period as Delta ran to a 25-18 advantage to make the final score 61-55. Phillip Decker and Austin Watson sparked the offensive explosion for Delta

foot-four-inch players, had the height advantage, but that wasn’t a major factor in the game, said Crowder. The teams were very close in rebound numbers, and Hotchkiss did a good job getting in position and boxing out. “Seeing and playing them showed me we can play them” and keep up with them, said Crowder. The two teams will meet once more before playoffs, on Feb. 13, on the Skiers’ court. Despite the loss, Crowder said he’s pleased with the way his team played against Aspen. “It’s the best game we’ve played all season long.” And they’re hoping that the outcome of their next meeting will be different. Hotchkiss will meet the Grand Valley Cardinals this Friday at home. Games begin at 1 p.m., with varsity play beginning at 3 p.m. The Bulldogs travel to New Castle to play Coal Ridge High School Saturday.

At the final Delta County Girls Swimming and Diving home swim meet, it is a tradition for the seniors to be recognized for their commitment and participation on the team. On Friday, January 29th, six individuals were recognized at the conclusion of the meet for just that. Rachel Garcia (captain), Kat Laws (captain), Nichole Davis (captain), Keely Ballard, Amber Hernandez, Heidi Stinson and Megan Shreeves (manager) were all seniors this year, representing the girls county wide. Manager Robben Albee commented, “Everyone is going to miss their hard work and amazing work ethic.” While Manager Kostya Callihan opined, “they seem ready to go out in the world as part

of society.” Finally Coach Amanda Hatch expressed, “all of these girls are consistent in their efforts, excellent leaders and an inspiration to the team.” Competing against Moffat County, Gunnison and Aspen, Delta triumphed over Moffat County 180 to 151, Gunnison 176 to 169 but lost to Aspen 166 to 213. “Many major achievements were obtained through this meet,” Coach Hatch explained, “winning over two out of three teams we faced is not an easy task, both Gunnison and Moffat have some deep talent, we fielded more swimmers and each one of them did what they needed to earn points.” The District Championships next week, however, are the primary goal for the girls, we will

be focusing on technique and times in order to bring forth the best competition. Coach Hatch explained, “we will be focusing on technique this week…fixing those last minute odds and ends to make our races perfect for next week.” This season really has been great and the girls improve with every passing week, and I expect the district meet to be no exception. I am thinking we will to getting more personal time records this weekend and that is the right place and time to get them. We are still hoping for some state qualifying times!” District Championships will be February 5-6 held at the new Mesa State natatorium. The Delta County Girls Swimming and Diving Team is well on its way to bringing tough competition to Districts and finishing the season with a splash.

Former DHS coach to be inducted into Hall of Fame Al Must, a former Delta High School coach, has been elected to the Michigan High School Tennis Coaches Association (MHSTeCA) Hall of Fame.

He has been with Rochester Community Schools as a staff member and tennis coach for 25 years. His tennis squad finished in a tie in their region and sixth in

the state. Must has always fielded strong teams that would have been even more successful if they were located in other areas of the city or state. Overall, he claims 316 team victories. A highlight occurred in 1987 when his girls won the state title. His boys finished second in 1991. A late bloomer, Must didn’t discover the sport of tennis until college. By grad school, he was playing in tournaments and giv-

ing lessons. He began coaching in Delta after getting his master’s from the University of Denver. He moved back to Michigan so that his kids could be closer to family. In addition to working as a school social worker at Rochester Adams (22 years), he became head pro at the Bloomfield Surf Club (where he has been for the past 21 years) and also works at Pine Lake Country Club. He gained his USPTR Professional Certification in 1994.

School District Budget Did You Know? Delta County School District along with all of Colorado k-12 education will be making budget cuts for the 2010-2011 school year. The state’s budget needs to be reduced and education is a large portion of the budget of the State of Colorado. Delta County Schools Board of Education has commissioned a budget task force to make recommendations on budget reductions for next year. The task force is composed of certified and classified staff, parent accountability members and citizens. The recommendations are due to the board by April 1st.

Myth Buster The budget task force is not taking new suggestions after January. This statement is a Myth! There are actually 5 different ways that citizens can be involved in the budget task force and their work. Interested people can log on to our web site, deltaschools.com and go to Administration and then Budget Task Force. The January 18th issue of “Mondays with Mike” lists budget task force members and e-mail addresses. The next school board meeting is on February 25, 2010 at the Delta Center, 822 Grand Ave. in Delta where people can sign up to speak under “public comment”. Citizens are welcome to contact school board members; names and addresses are available by calling the district office at 874-4438. Additionally, you can write or call the superintendent at Mike McMillan, Superintendent, 7655 2075 Road, Delta, CO 81416 or by e-mail mmcmillan@deltaschools.com.

HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 It pays to trust your gut, Aries, because it seldom leads you in the wrong direction. Avoid temptation on Tuesday. It’ll certainly be your downfall. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 A remarkable thing happens when you slow down to enjoy the scenery, Taurus. It pays to take it easy for a few days. You’ll benefit from the slower pace. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Don’t procrastinate, Gemini. There is an urgent matter that needs attending to in the days to come. Sagittarius will be on your mind on Thursday. Think through the situation. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need to get a message to someone you love, Cancer, but don’t know the best form of delivery. Go with the first idea that comes to mind and you’ll find success.

Spirit Wind starts Geld Your Colt program Spirit Wind Horse Rescue will be starting a new program called Geld Your Colt. Thanks to a grant from the ASPCA, Spirit Wind is finally able to put this program in place and they hope that in the future it will grow to a point where they will be able to help more Delta County residents and their horses. Their goal is to diminish the number of unwanted horses in Delta County. “We realize that due to the economy, the thought of finding the money to geld one’s colt is probably very far from the minds of horse owners, who are struggling to just feed their horses,” says Vendla Stockdale of Sprirt Wind Horse Rescue. “However, we are hoping that this program will be able to ease that situation a little, by having Spirit Wind Horse Rescue pay for half the surgery for those willing and wanting to geld their colts.” Spirit Wind Horse Rescue will also consider gelding older studs, depending on age and health of the horse, which will be determined by the veterinarians taking part in this program. There seems to be a trend in the growing number of neglect cases, abandonment cases and the growing rate of healthy horses sent to Mexico for slaughter. Even though horse slaughter plants have closed in the United States, and have been for quite some time, many horses from Colorado are transported to Mexico, where they endure the

worst treatment one could possibly imagine. Although horse slaughter is an extremely controversial matter, Spirit Wind Horse Rescue, among many other horse rescues, does not support horse slaughter, and they are looking for alternatives to a bad situation. For those who think that it is only the old and sick horses that go for slaughter, this is not the case. Horses of all ages and sex are slaughtered, including pregnant mares and foals. Former racehorses, show horses, pleasure horses, carriage horses, Amish work and buggy horses, summer riding camp horses, police horses, former therapeutic and handicapped riding horses, lesson horses, rodeo horses, wild mustangs, broodmares, mares used in the production of Premarin and the foals that are the byproduct of the production, and companion horses have all been purchased and sent to slaughter. Accomplishments won are no guarantee of escaping from that fate. According to Stockdale, 10 years ago, a 17-year-old Dutch Warmblood named Jamaica was nearly sent to slaughter, but saved at the last minute from a killer buyer’s pen. “Jamaica has now racked up numerous awards, and was recently named Horse of the Year by the United States Equestrian Federation,” she says. “Unfortunately, Thoroughbred racing’s 1987 Horse of the Year and 1986 Kentucky Derby winner Ferdinand, was

Disaster designation could help Delta County producers Delta County is among several Western Slope counties effected by a disaster designation issued this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Gov. Bill Ritter submitted a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Jan. 7, asking for Secretarial Disaster Designation for Fremont County for damaging frost, and for Dolores, Mesa,

Montezuma, Montrose and San Miguel counties which were damaged due to drought. The designation means farm operators in these counties, as well as in contiguous counties such as Delta County, are eligible for assistance from the federal Farm Service Agency. This assistance includes FSA emergency loans and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program.

not so lucky and was slaughtered in Japan.” Miss Judge also escaped slaughter. After years of making money for her owners on the racetrack, the 11-year-old thoroughbred mare was sent to an auction, one that killer buyers frequent, but Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue stepped in, paying $350 to save her life. Miss Judge went on to strut her stuff as a featured horse at an event with world-renowned natural horsemanship horse trainers Pat and Linda Parelli. She was adopted by someone who fell in love with

the gentle mare. So for those who want to help stop the rise in the number of unwanted horses, both now and in the future, call Beth Keenan at Spirit Wind Horse Rescue at 9215646, or e-mail spiritwind@tds. net, and ask for further information and an application. Because there is a limit to the number of procedures Spirit Wind Horse Rescue can approve, the sooner one calls the sooner the application will be sent. For more information, visit their website at www.spiritwindhorserescue.com.

In accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill, USDA implemented changes for producers certifying average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for the 2009 through 2012 program years. A key component is a data verification process with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). IRS tax information will be used to identify if program participants have complied with AGI requirements. Actual tax or income information is not released to USDA in this process. Producers who received program benefits in 2009 or anticipate receiving benefits in 2010 from either the Farm Service Agency (FSA) or the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) need to complete and submit to the IRS a new form authorizing the IRS to disclose

Revised criteria for OHV grants proposed ments will be incorporated into a revised draft that the Colorado State Parks Board will consider at their March meeting. The parks board oversees the Colorado Off-Highway Vehicle Program, which is administered through Colorado State Parks and the state trails program. The OHV program registers and permits all OHVs, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), dune buggies, Jeeps (operated off-road), three-wheelers, and dirt bikes. Each year, more than 90 percent of the OHV registration fees are awarded as grants to support OHV activities on all public lands in Colorado. If the revisions to the grants program are approved, they would go into effect for the 2011 grant cycle. In 2009, the program distributed $3.2 million in grants, generated by the registration fees, to

clearing trails. • Other trail work, including equipment maintenance, personnel training and certification and program coordination. Morrissey said that the revisions would include the state trails program staff working with federal partners and local officials to identify areas damaged by visitor abuse, determine the type of trail user primarily responsible — OHV or other — and coordinating resources to rehabilitate the areas. As part of that initiative, the state trails OHV program could create a new statewide environmental remediation crew for the 2010 work season to repair priority areas within a one to two week period. In addition, the proposed revisions would include working with local, state and federal partners to gather data about visitor contacts and about law enforcement, including the number of citations issued for unauthorized OHV use in prohibited areas.

Tom Morrissey, the state trails program manager for Colorado State Parks, is seeking public comments on a proposal to evaluate, and possibly revise, the requirements for the state’s off-highway vehicle (OHV) grants. The proposed process, presented to the Colorado State Parks Board on Jan. 28, would require grantees to gather data on the amount of time spent on law enforcement, visitor contacts, travel management, trail maintenance and habitat repair. The plan would also create a method to identify, prioritize and restore areas that have been damaged by unauthorized OHV use. The proposed strategic process and other program information are posted at www.colorado.gov/parks under the OHV/Snowmobile tab. The public is invited to comment on the proposal at Parksinfo@state. co.us through Feb. 11. The com-

An artist with a heart for teaching

Pat Sunderland/DCI

B A C K P A G E

DANI TUPPER’S SPACIOUS STUDIO was designed by her architect son and features lots of northern light, a separate framing room and an area for up to 10 students to gather. Her framed artwork lines the walls.

Story by Pat Sunderland Between teaching a weekly class, conducting periodic workshops, and organizing art exhibitions, it’s no surprise that Dani Tupper’s biggest challenge is finding time to devote to her own artwork. “I’m a little bit overtaxed,” she confessed, as she talked about an upcoming workshop she’ll be leading in Phoenix, a trip to Mexico she’s taking with three of her students, and a national exhibition she’s co-chairing for the Western Colorado Watercolor Society. An artist for most of her life, she says she’s never been able to maintain regular studio hours, despite the fact that her studio is built right into her Delta home. “A lot of artists say you need to get up and consider it an 8-5 job to really accomplish anything,” she said. “My world doesn’t work that way. When I’m really working, I get up in the mornings and before I do anything else I paint in my PJs for a couple of hours. If I’m really wanting to experiment, I might paint day and night.” She recalls an art instructor in Australia who once told her, “No matter how long you’ve painted, you’ll have your highs and your lows. When you’re on a high, you’ll paint day and night for weeks.” Dani says her mood doesn’t fluctuate that dramatically, but there are days at a time when she doesn’t go into her studio. When she needs to buckle down and get ready for an upcoming workshop or art exhibition, though, she has no problem meeting her deadline. Even with her busy schedule, plus the time she willingly devotes to family and church activities, she says she’s semi-retired.

December in the Rockies

“The retired part is I don’t really market my work any more. They tell you you need to spend as much time marketing your work as you do painting.” Her work is hung at the Creamery Art Center in Hotchkiss, AppleShed Gallery in Cedaredge, the Edward Jones office at 2nd and Main, and in other locations in Delta through Delta Fine Arts’ “Art in Public Places” program. She also maintains a website, www.danitupper.com, which features her artwork and lists upcoming classes and workshops.

Early in her career, Dani used oils, but she now works primarily with watercolors. Within that realm, she enjoys experimenting with a variety of techniques, including watercolor batiks and poured paint. She likes to see the effect different surfaces, such as rice paper or a synthetic paper called yupo, can create when paint is applied. Notes about an abstract painting on her website illustrate her enthusiasm for experimentation: “After applying wet in wet paint, I threw the watercolor out in the snow, sprinkled snow and sand on it and let it freeze. Neat texture! Warmed it up and

Who would have guessed that the young Nebraska girl who whiled away hours drawing women with long flowing hair, beautiful gowns and high heels, would end up touring Europe with her watercolors in hand and several students in tow. Her husband’s job as a consultant for General Dynamics necessitated frequent moves. Dani can boast she’s lived in 10 states and several different countries. Her trips are chronicled in a journal; she’s also taken hundreds of photos. Between the two she has enough material to keep her busy in her studio for years to come. “You know it really amazes me that my students will come to class and waste the first hour wondering what to paint. I have so many ideas that I’ll never, ever paint them all.” Today, her work hangs in many corporate and private collections. Some of her original watercolors and giclee prints are part of the permanent collection in the new wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction. Her work has appeared in three art books published by Northlight Pub-

lishing — “The Best of Flower Painting,” “Splash VIII” and “Splash XI.” She is a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and Western Colorado Watercolor Society. The founding president of Southwest Colorado Watercolor Society in Pueblo, she helped start the annual Aquarius exhibition which this year becomes a national show to be held at the Sangre de Cristo Art Center in Pueblo. She is a lifetime member of Transparent Watercolor Society, Aurora Artist Guild and Southwest Colorado Watercolor Society (honorary) A few years ago she was named outstanding artist by the Pueblo Art Commission. She is also an associate member of the National Watercolor Society and International Society of Experimental Artists. She is a member of Delta Fine Arts and edited the newsletter for several years. Dani modestly says her artwork is 10 percent talent and 90 percent hard work, but maybe that actually reflects the amount of time this hard-working supporter of the arts has left to pursue her own creative expressions.

finished painting.” Subjects vary with the season — florals when they’re in full bloom in her garden; winter scenes when snow covers the ground. Although she doesn’t use pastels very often, she says she keeps a set she bought 30 or 35 years ago simply because it would cost hundreds of dollars to replace them. In many ways, though, Dani feels she’s a better teacher than she is an artist — although she has many outstanding examples to attest to her artistic skill. “I’ve taken workshops from a lot of nationally known artists, who sometimes let their egos get in the way of teaching,” Dani said. By contrast, she tries to offer encouragement and support. “I can feel the beginner’s pain because I can remember struggling myself. Maybe that’s why some people think I’m a good teacher.” “I think you’re able to break it down and see where they’re at and lead them on from there,” said her daughter Julie. “I’m not an artist, but I can sit down and work with my mom and I can make something pretty because she’s coaching me.” Dani clearly has a following, because many of her students have stayed with her during moves from Denver to Pueblo, where she and her husband lived after his retirement, and finally to Delta. In the intervening years, those students have scattered to Florida, Arizona, Texas, Michigan and all parts of Colorado but they still try to make the occasional workshop or join Dani on a trip abroad. During the two- and three-day workshops, up to 10 participants stay, play and eat with Dani. After a day in the studio, they recharge with a bowl of savory soup and a slice of homemade bread. “I’ve accused my students of coming to eat, rather than paint,” Dani said. “We paint, laugh, eat and sleep art!” The camaraderie extends to weeklong explorations of Europe. Every other spring she takes a small group of artists to Italy, England, Scotland or Spain. The women sightsee, visit world-renowned art galleries, take lots of pictures and paint on location.

IN THE BEGINNING — one of Dani’s abstracts and part of her Creation series. Dani painted through spider webbing to create the unusual effect.

DANI HAS COMBINED HER love of travel with her artistic talent to lead students through Spain, Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland and Mexico. Her eager students love to paint on location. Dani paints primarily in her studio, not on location, but she keeps her memories fresh by jotting down notes and sketches in a journal. She starts with a pen-and-ink drawing, then adds a color wash to capture the essence of places she’s visited. The accompanying text captures her memories and favorite impressions.

Methodist youth support Souper Bowl of Caring

Photo submitted

Barbershopper of the year The Black Canyon Barbershop Chorus honored longtime member Dave Stannard as Barbershopper of the Year. Chorus president Vern Dockter (right) presents the award to Stannard. The Black Canyon Barbershop Chorus meets at 7 p.m. each Thursday at the Olathe United Methodist Church, 518 Hersum, Olathe. Members are from Montrose, Delta, Cedaredge and the Olathe areas. Check the group’s website by searching “Black Canyon Barbershop Chorus.” Members have a great time singing, sharing cookies at rehearsal break, and performing for others. If you are interested in singing with the group call (970) 964-4775.

The youth of the Delta United Methodist Church will be joining other young people around the U.S. by collecting money and non-perishable food items for the Souper Bowl of Caring, Sunday, Feb. 7. All proceeds will benefit the Delta Food Pantry. On Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7, 140 million Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and a warm meal. In 1990, a Super Bowl Sunday prayer inspired a group of young people to do something more than celebrate a football game. They created the Souper Bowl of Caring and have mobilized youth across the country to raise more than $41 million for people in need.

Please join the young people of the Delta United Methodist Church as they demonstrate God’s love through the Souper Bowl of Caring. Donations of funds or non-perishable food items may be delivered to the Delta United Methodist Church, 477 Meeker Street, weekdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. or may be mailed to the church at P.O. Box 427, Delta, CO 81416.

Clothing will be given away

Santa gets a lift

Clothing in all sizes for men, women and children will be given away Saturday, Feb. 6, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event is open to the community and will be held at the Delta First Assembly of God, at the corner of Eaton & Dodge.

About 75 people enjoyed a delicious dinner of ham and turkey and all the fixings at the IOOF and Rebekah’s annual Christmas party. The event was held at the IOOF hall on Highway 92 in Delta. Entertainment was provided by Jim Rowland. A number of Oddfellows and Rebekahs had several generations of their families present. The highlight of the evening was the appearance of Santa Claus (pictured above with Gene Conger) bearing girfts for one and all.
