Hansen retires as county administrator BY ANNETTE BRAND Staff Writer

Susan Hansen has worked for Delta County for 23 years, 20 of those years as county administrator. She will leave that post Friday, Sept. 28. The Board of County Commissioners plans to have her work on occasional special projects in the future. Jan McCracken, currently office manager for Internal Medicine at Delta County Memorial Hospital, served with Hansen for eight years as county clerk and recorder and eight years as county commissioner. “Susan started out in planning and was so pleasant, so positive and so full of energy. When she became county administrator, the employees were glad to have her in that position. We saw her as being a good representative for all of us,” McCracken said. “Susan was a wonderful resource to me. She helped me understand the county clerk’s budget, how it worked, how I could make it more efficient. She functioned as a mentor to me and I respected her and her opinion.” From her broader view as a commissioner, McCracken said, “Susan really cares about the county and its people, its welfare, and she steered the county in a very conservative fiscal way. She kept the reserves going and watched the dollars. Whenever there was a need, Susan showed the commissioners how to pay for that need.”

Current commissioner Doug Atchley also acknowledges Hansen’s fiscal care of county resources. “Susan’s leadership, her conservative style of management, has really paid dividends during these economic times,” he said. “The county has no debt. How many other counties can say that? It is a great fiscal benefit not having to pay interest on debt. It was Susan’s conservative guidance before the 2007 recession came to the forefront that keeps our cost of doing business less now. We continue to provide services to the people of Delta County. There have been cuts, but they have been equitable and fair and have provided value to the taxpayer.” McCracken says Susan never stops thinking, is always searching for ways to make things better, whether it’s the budget, city planning, land development or good elections. She wants to be certain whatever is put forth is the very best it can be. “Susan consults good sources. She is always well prepared, giving written information to the county commissioners and clerk and recorder (who records commissioner meetings). She has been our source for history on issues. She knows where to find details,” McCracken said. “I have often wondered, ‘How does she remember all this?’ Her memory is incredible. There will be a huge vacuum without her memory.” Before his retirement as

Impact fee will go to the voters BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

In addition to their term limits ballot question, the county commissioners have placed a second question on the Nov. 6 general election ballot. The commissioners want to find out how voters think about using money from impact fees on new development to help pay for county roads, public safety and public health and human services. “We want to let the voters decide,” said Commissioner Doug Atchley. The county government already has legislative authority to impose impact fees, explained Susan Hansen, county administrator. But the complicating twist to this ballot question is that the county needs voter permission to keep and spend any money it might collect from impact fees. The question essentially seeks to “De-bruce” revenue from any and all impact fees the county may in future decide to impose. The Taxpayer Bill of Rights Amendment to the state Constitution (TABOR) requires the voters’ approval. Other-

wise, any new government revenue raised from impact fees could not be kept and spent by the government, and it would have to be given back to the voters. Three years ago the county completed a study of growth impacts on county facilities. The study was needed so that the county could demonstrate there is an actual need for impact fee money. The county has not adopted impact fees and is not collecting money from them now. If voters approve the Nov. 6 measure and allow government to keep and spend impact fees, the commissioners will likely adopt fees soon thereafter. From 2005 through 2010 voters “De-bruced” (i.e., allowed the county to keep and spend) certain property tax revenue for use only in road building. It was revenue that otherwise would have been returned to voters through a lower mill levy. That program, which the commissioners decided not to ask voters to renew, has expired. It collected up to $2 million per year for county road improvement work. An impact fee for roads would be IMPACT FEE TO A3

president of Wells Fargo Bank and before being elected as a commissioner, Doug Atchley worked with and observed Susan from the bank’s perspective. He attended numerous Board of County Commissioners meetings. He admired how she conducted herself with the many different commissioners and a wide range of the community. “She has a great ability to work with all types of people. “She is a great listener, always has a thoughtful suggestion, a unique ability to involve the thought process of people and the ability to calm

people down. She is competent and has the ability to get things done,” said Atchley. “The work Susan did in coordinating and mediating with the North Fork Coal Working Group is a noteworthy accomplishment,” he said. “The situation was so divisive, so contentious.” Both McCracken, who was a commissioner in 2006, and Atchley, who remembers the occasion well, think one of Delta County’s finest occasions was the recognition of Susan Hansen as County Administrator of the Year by Colorado Counties, Inc. The recognition

was from her peers, many of whom had sought her advice on their problems in their counties. McCracken said in giving her the award, Susan’s Delta County officials and other county officials throughout the state were acknowledging the work Susan had done with counties, her wealth of wisdom, her logical mind, how she dissects “where we are and where we want to go” and her humble attitude of “I just did what I was supposed to do.” Jim Crook, recently retired Mayor of Crawford, was HANSEN TO A3

Enrollment drops in all communities but Delta BY PAT SUNDERLAND Managing Editor

An influx of about 70 Karen and Karenni students of all ages has pushed enrollment in Delta County Joint School District #50 onto the plus side for 2012-13. Without those students, who recently relocated to Delta with their refugee families, enrollment would be down across the district. As it is, assistant superintendent Kurt Clay noted, numbers dropped in every community but Delta. Garnet Mesa and Lincoln elementary schools not only have more students, they have also seen an increase in the number of students who do not speak English as their first language. Clay said the school district has identified a total of 249 elementary students who

do not speak English at all or have limited English language skills. For that reason, two additional ELL (English Language Learners) teachers have been hired, one to supplement existing staff at each school. Enrollment in Cedaredge, Paonia and Hotchkiss is down overall. At first glance, it would appear that many students in Paonia and Hotchkiss transitioned to the North Fork Vision program, but that’s not the case, Clay said. Vision’s increase of 22 is due in large part to students from neighboring school districts, most of whom were previously homeschooled. Some Paonia High School students are taking advantage of a new alternative education program which operates under the umbrella of Delta

Opportunity School. Clay said the DOS student count of 98 includes about 18 North Fork students who are attending the North Fork Alternative School located on the Paonia campus of Delta-Montrose Technical College. The enrollment figures are considered unofficial until the statewide student count in early October. Those enrollment numbers are the basis for the state funding which provides nearly 60 percent of the school district’s operating revenue. The district budget was developed using the same enrollment numbers as last year, so if the increase continues to hover around 50 or so students, the school district will receive additional revenue of about $325,000.

Anthony Abachiche, 25, of Delta was killed in an auto accident Tuesday, Sept. 11, at about 2:30 p.m. The Colorado State Petrol reports that Abachiche was traveling eastbound on Highway 50 at mile marker 54 near the Delta-Mesa county line. The weather was rainy and windy at the time. Abachiche lost control of his Volkswagen Passat on the wet roadway and went into the depressed median. He re-entered the highway in the westbound lanes and as his car was skidding broadside, the driver’s side was hit by a westbound Dodge pickup driven by Mitchel Dietrich, 25, of Grand Junction. Abachiche died at the scene. Dietrich received minor injuries. He was not transported to a hospital.

Bonsall Huffington, 80, of Delta was seriously injured in an automobile crash that occurred the afternoon of Sept. 13 just north of Montrose. According to the Colorado State Patrol, Verla Huffington, 79, was eastbound on Highway 50 in a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday. A 2004 Audi A4 driven by Myles Roop of Hotchkiss was also eastbound. For an unknown reason, Roop allegedly struck the right rear section of the Huffingtons’ Bonneville, causing the

vehicle to rotate, leave the left side of the roadway and enter the median. Verla Huffington was treated for minor injuries at Montrose Memorial Hospital. Bonsall Huffington was taken to Montrose Memorial Hospital and then transferred to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, where he was reported to be in fair condition Tuesday. She was wearing a seat belt, he was not. Roop was uninjured. Alcohol, drugs and excessive speed have been ruled out as factors in the accident.

OPINION

LETTERS People are pigs Dear Editor: My wife and I just returned from a camping trip up Anthracite Creek near Kebler Pass. We were both enraged to find so much trash in the area. There are completely abandoned camps with all of the tents, tarps, food bags, etc., left on the site. All of the campgrounds are littered with junk. People seem to believe that beer cans and aluminum foil disappear in a fire like magic, when they actually make unsightly slag. In some well-used areas there are large bags of trash left behind as well as batteries, fuel bottles, old stoves and stove pipe. I know that hunters, fishermen, and campers do a lot for the North Fork economy, but they also leave a tremendous amount of trash for everyone else to endure. Not only are the forests trashy but also areas surrounding Paonia, Hotchkiss, and Crawford. Crawford Road (also known as the backroad between Crawford and Paonia) is a dumping ground for beer bottles, old washing machines, and other junk that jerks can’t take to a landfill or a dumpster. Conditions such as these are why Mr. and Mrs. Libertarian of Delta

Shame on Delta litterbug Dear Editor: Shame on the lady in the white car that purposely placed her empty coffee cup on the light pole at the Delta City Market on Saturday, Sept. 8. Yes you know who you are and I hope you feel guilty for doing it. The next time I catch you or anybody else purposely littering I will turn you in. I should have turned you in anyway but I threw away your trash for you. By the way, you are welcome. We have to live here and I for one don’t want to live with your trash. Sandra Curry Cory

County are wrong. If everyone followed common sense and treated neighbors with the Golden Rule we would have no need for any governmental laws and regulations. Unfortunately they don’t. People build chicken houses in absolutely the wrong areas and others junk up their yards and property and hide behind the “zoned agricultural” law. These are the people that force government to make laws. In addition Mr. and Mrs. Do-gooders are not that helpful either. They pick easy targets such as “Big Oil” and scare everyone with what might happen and yet they do very little constructively. They are good at saying NO, such as no fracking, no gas drilling, etc. but I don’t see any of them saying NO, to no more junk or trash. How about supporting junk and zoning regulations in Delta County? These aren’t quite as easy a target as Big Oil but it would be much more helpful to the local populace. I might even consider joining one of these organizations and contributing money if they did something positive for a change, instead of just saying NO. There was an article in the DCI on Aug. 8 about a group that came to town to pick up trash and partnered with NFRIA/ WSERC. Why does NFRIA/WSERC have to wait to be asked to pick

Yes, it’s time for a change Dear Editor: Every year my health insurance pays for my annual physical, which includes bloodwork. This year, however, my insurance denied three different bloodwork panels, the same tests that I have every year because my doctor thinks that, based on my personal and family health history, they are necessary. When I received the claim statement from my insurance company, those three tests were marked

Don’t be a lemming Dear Editor: There are numerous comments floating around that we have lost our country as we knew it or are in the process of doing so. Think about this: The U.S. Constitution and federal courts are no longer viable concerns. Just examine the recent executive orders from the White House. Just about every concern that would require a congressional or judicial decree has been bypassed by an executive order. Does this mean “Let the King rule!”? Heaven forbid, please. Some are insinuating that the current administration is the cause of this. If history is examined you will find that for at least the last 50 years or more (and other isolated cases before that), executive orders have

been issued by nearly every president, regardless of party. Just a gradual taking control by the executive branch and it is now climaxing. I have been classed as an extreme radical for my thoughts but here are some anyhow. I say let’s go back to the late 1700s and start all over with the original intent of our Constitution and amendments. Throw ALL of the rascals out regardless of party and start afresh with stricter controls on our elected officials. Nullify and void numerous and various laws/regulations that have helped cause such a mess. Radical thoughts, yes, but we have to do something. Realistically what can we do? Vote intelligently and not be a lemming. Larry M. Head Hotchkiss

up trash? How about a continuing commitment? How many members of NFRIA/WSERC have driven by the piles of beer bottles on Crawford Road and not stopped to clean them up? Do the members of these organizations have to receive recognition in the newspaper before they take action? If anyone wants to be aware of a community organization that does outstanding work for the local populace, and yet is not always blowing their horn, check out the Ouray Hiking Trails Group. Every week there are members on the trail cutting trees and picking up trash. It is very intensive work with lots of physical labor involved. However, there are no newspaper articles that I am aware of, and very little other publicity. Just results. I will challenge anyone, or group, to help me start to clean up some of the mess others have left. I will furnish pack animals and my labor for some of the harder to reach areas such as Anthracite Creek. I am sure others know of more local areas that need to be cleaned up. We all need to pitch in and say yes to taking care of our lands. If people are going to be pigs on our public lands, we need to at least clean it up. Dick Moore Crawford

“Benefits ineligible under health care reform guidelines.” So I owe $228 for tests that have always been covered until our government, in its infinite wisdom, created a monstrous health care reform bill that now tells my insurance company what it can and can’t cover. It’s probably silly to be concerned about $228. That’s chicken feed next to the taxes that will start in 2014 and the $500 billion cut in Medicare, which are designated to pay for health care reform. And those are insignificant compared to the fact that some panel of people who don’t know me or my doctor will be able to decide what care I can get. To all of you who put this current government in power: please rethink your position. I’m tired of prolonged high unemployment numbers, government intrusion into my healthcare, record numbers of people on food stamps, and failed stimulus bills. I resent that my hard-earned tax money was used to pay for mortgages of people I’ve never met and to buy cars for strangers. Join me in making a change. Angie Many Eckert

Wow! Someone cares Dear Editor: A big, big thank you to Hotchkiss Mayor Wendell Koonts and the Hotchkiss trustees for voting to spray in Hotchkiss. It was encouraging to watch all of our town officials working together at the public meeting Sept. 5 at the Hotchkiss Town Hall. They were not only concerned about the people in Hotchkiss, they knew the students of our schools in Hotchkiss really needed protection from the mosquitoes. Thank you again for caring. You are awesome! Velma Holder Hotchkiss

Tour sheds light on Bear Ranch land exchange Dear Editor: Recently, a friend and I took advantage of one of the Bear Ranch land exchange tours being offered to the public of the new proposed trails and trailhead at what is now called the Buck Creek Ranch. The gentlemen who gave us the tour were very friendly and I was impressed at how open they were to answering all of our questions.

Account of historic women was interesting Dear Editor: I enjoyed reading about the two powerful women of Delta (DCI Sept. 12). Another woman I would like to know more about is Laura Gilpin the photographer and author. Apparently in the years from 1911 to 1915 she and her family lived somewhere near Austin. She raised poultry there to support her photography. She later became famous for her southwestern landscapes and for her photographic studies of the Pueblo and Navajo Indians. If anyone knows anything about her time in Delta County, I would love to read about it. Mary Swanson Delta

Most people are aware that 99 percent of people who access the Ragged Mountain Trail do so either at McClure Pass on Highway 133 or at Forest Service Road 795 by the Erickson Springs campground off Kebler Pass. Both offer great views and access to a beautiful trail, but for someone of my age the trail is far too long to bike or hike from one end to the other. Thankfully, the proposed access off Buck Creek Ranch will make it possible for my wife and I to enjoy the beauty of this area in a much more convenient way. To be honest, I didn’t know a lot about the exchange except for what

I read in the paper and heard in conversations, but I felt that before I made up my mind, I should see for myself what it is all about, and I am very glad I did. The new proposed trails and trailhead offer magnificent views of the Ragged Mountains all the way up to the actual Ragged Mountain Trail itself. And because of improved access off Highway 133 I am sure many more people will be able to appreciate the beauty of this area firsthand. After taking the time to see what’s being offered in the exchange, I am in full support of it. LeRoy Nelson Cedaredge

An invitation to our leaders Dear Editor: As a constituent and active resident in Delta County, I am quite excited about this county. Over the past 20 or so years we have seen a lot of change on the Western Slope and surrounding counties. There is a great opportunity to learn perspectives of the changes that are happening. On Sept. 22, a conference will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Delta Performing Arts Center (the old middle school auditorium at 822 Grand Avenue). The county com-

missioners, as elected leaders of our counties, are urged to attend this conference. Candidates for upcoming elections are also urged to attend. The Sustainable Development Awareness Conference, including topics such as smart growth, our common future, green energy, public school education, etc., will be presented. The public is invited; reserve seating tickets are available for $8. Contact sales at 3232152 or 874-9550. Roger Bentley Delta County

Commissioner Lund should recuse himself Dear Editor: There’s much more going on with this hen house issue than meets the eye. Someone has a dog in this fight, and it’s looking more and more like one of our county commissioners. The plaintiffs, in their Part 106(a)(4) lawsuit against the county, were granted discovery powers by Judge Patrick to gather additional evidence concerning a potential conflict of interest for the role Commissioner Lund played as the signatory for the $1.35 million Soil Health Initiative Grant, which relies heavily on soil amendments (more specifically dairy, beef and poultry manure). Commissioner Lund, the president of Painted Sky, signed the Soil Health Initiative Agreement in July 2011 and a month later approved two hen house operations. He has refused requests to provide minutes of several of the Painted Sky meetings leading up to his signing for the grant. Most recently it appears those minutes may have been “lost.” In July, Judge Patrick invalidated the BoCC’s approval of the hen houses for lack of evidence

and abuse of discretion, and remanded it back to them for further review. A second public hearing was held Sept. 4 for the BoCC to gather additional evidence prior to issuing a new decision on the two hen house applications. Several inputs, one in writing and two presented orally to the commissioners, came from members of the Delta County Farm and Livestock Bureau. The Farm Bureau, nationwide, is now probably the largest advocate, biggest financial supporter and lobbyist, on both state and federal levels, for industrial factory farming today, much to the dismay of many of the small, traditional farmers and ranchers they are supposed to be representing. Mr. Chann Fogg, vice president of the Delta County Farm and Livestock Bureau board, submitted a letter advocating for the hen houses, and two rancher/ farmer board members from Redlands Mesa spoke in favor of the hen houses saying they felt the operation was compatible with current agricultural practices on Redlands Mesa. Ironically, their testimony is actual-

ly seen as reinforcing the opponents’ position that Redlands Mesa has only low impact, traditional agriculture and that a high intensive confinement operation is totally incompatible with the neighborhood and should never be approved at its proposed location. Here’s what’s very interesting. Commissioner Lund is the president of the Delta County Farm and Livestock Bureau board. Hello?! Did he recuse himself from all discussions on the hen house topic with his board, as Mr. Fogg claims? At the hearing, Commissioner Lund had an obligation to disclose that a group under his leadership was advocating publicly as a proponent for the hen houses, and he failed to do so. The situation presents YET another potential conflict of interest for Commissioner Lund, and in the interest of preserving the integrity of the BoCC decision process, he must recuse himself from further participation in the entire hen house issue.

Let’s get this country back to the basics Dear Editor: I read the letter from a person who extolled the virtues of President Obama. I can’t help but wonder where this person has been for the last four years. Obama has softened our relations with our enemies (Egypt), and alienated our friends (Israel). Do those who still think Obama is THE man not see how his administration is in over its head, how another (third) stimulus is being worked out? The first two failed. How do you think this one will do better? I think they’re trying every scheme they can think of to keep control of the White House. We need to get back to basics. This is a nation founded on principles. George Washington and his cabinet prayed for a nation to be under God, right where the twin towers were before our friends crashed into them. The nation’s capitol was New York City at that time.

And, let’s not forget we are a free nation, born with that in mind. I’m not saying Mr. Romney is the man. I do feel if he keeps half of his promises, we may survive. Our economy doesn’t need another stimulus. Oh, last I heard, those who crashed into the

WTC were called terrorists. Softening their image in any way does not make the event of 9-11 any easier to take. these people in a cowardly manner killed our people while they worked. God bless America, Gary Herby Delta

Stimulus plan has many benefits Dear Editor: I was happy to read that Delta will be upgrading to fiber optics through cooperation with the Eagle-Net Alliance. In paragraph two of the 9/12 article, a $100 million federal grant is mentioned as the funding behind this nationwide push toward modernization. What readers may not realize is that this grant is one more component of the oft-maligned Obama stimulus plan. Readers who are interested to learn more about the hundreds of benefits

contained in the 2009 Recovery Act, but seldom publicly acknowledged, would enjoy reading the new book, “The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era” by Michael Grunwald, published just last month. Grunwald, a Time Magazine reporter, spent two years researching this huge, complicated and far reaching piece of legislation. He also shines a spotlight on some of the people tasked with implementing the law. Dick Gilmore Delta

Hansen FROM PAGE A1 appointed to serve a oneyear term on Crawford town council in 1987. Susan was the town administrator/clerk, her salary paid by a grant. When the grant was over she remained as town clerk. After his one-year term, Crook was elected as mayor, a position in which he served for 24 years. Crook said Susan was always doing something to improve things. She obtained a matching $500 grant from Kellogg Foundation and Colorado State University for the betterment of the town. Several Crawford people volunteered to help in the projects. They installed “Welcome to Crawford Country” signs at three entrances to the town and sent the Crawford newsletter to residents

in the North Fork Valley. Susan led the effort in getting the three towns to work together to establish and improve a North Fork trail network. “Susan knew about a county job that opened,” Crook said. “She felt bad about leaving Crawford but the town was small and couldn’t offer the salary the county could. “She is a wonderful source of information. I always called Susan Hansen when I had questions about some matter and she would set me straight. At the county and municipal quarterly meetings, where we would prioritize grant monies and discuss county-municipal issues, Susan explained the information very well.” Crawford recently had to decide what to do about the town hall building: renovate it, leave it as it is or sell it. Community meetings were held to discuss the options. “Susan loves the old school, loves Crawford and was at all the meetings. At one brainstorming meeting, a committee was formed, Friends of Crawford Town Hall, and Susan was chosen

to chair that committee. The town put in $150,000, there are two anonymous gifts of $30,000 each and a third for $25,000, if a commercial kitchen is part of the renovation. The Colorado Historical Society granted us $106,000,” said Crook. “With the money in hand we will do the work in phases, the first phase will replace all windows and doors and the second phase will cover the rest of it — electrical, kitchen, bathrooms, and will preserve one room as an original classroom.” At the Old Timers Newcomers Dinner in February, Susan was presented with ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award. She also picked up the ‘Nonprofit of the Year’ award on behalf of Friends of Crawford Town Hall. Although Susan Hansen has spent her career as a public official, she is a very private person. She has firmly refused to let the county commissioners or county staff host a retirement reception for her. Individuals who wish to thank her for her service or wish her well will need to do so on an individual basis.

officials speculated that, as example, a $35 million, 20-year bonded road building program would need a minimum of $1.7 million in annual revenues to finance. At that level, a $1,000-per-unit new development impact fee would require 1,700 new development units a year. In 2001, the county’s highest level ever for new unit development, there were 235 that would have qualified for impact fee assessment. At $1,000 per unit, that number of units would raise $235,000, a far cry from the $2 million per year the county’s former property tax program brought in. “We never expected that (an impact fee) would cover all our needs. It would be one more (revenue source) to have,” Hansen said. As of a year ago, there were an estimated 1,200 undeveloped lots in the unincorporated county that impact fees could be assessed against. The commissioners have not set an amount for their proposed impact fee, and there is no amount mentioned in the ballot question. If the ballot question is approved by voters the commissioners would set the fee by resolution and could change it whenever deemed necessary. During last August’s discussions, figures in the $1,900 to $5,000 per unit range were mentioned. It is possible the county would also have to require some kind of a new development permit to serve as a point of assessment and collection of fees.

Retention recommended for county judge The Seventh Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance voted 9-0 (one member absent) to recommend that Judge Sandra K. Miller be retained in the November election. Judge Miller was appointed to the Delta County bench in March of 2001. She has practiced law on the Western Slope since 1991. Judge Miller graduated with honors from the University of Texas School of Law in 1987. Prior to her appointment to the bench, Judge Miller practiced law in both the public and private sector, practicing as an appellate court briefing attorney, private practitioner, and chief deputy

district attorney for the Seventh Judicial District. Her judicial workload includes civil, criminal (misdemeanor and felony) and traffic offenses in the Delta County Court. In addition Judge Miller is acting district judge for Delta County Drug Court. Judge Miller is strong in the areas of work ethic, being passionate about her work and her community. She diligently prepares for each case before her. She also demonstrates a strong aptitude for managing a very heavy docket and caseload, while remaining focused on treating all persons who come before her in a fair manner. Judge Miller is the

past president of Colorado County Judges Association and has held other officer positions in the association. She is active in the National Judicial College, has taught classes for that college, and attends professional con-

Wardlaw and his team assist stricken jet fighter Lt. Col. Aaron Wardlaw, the son of Len and Cindy Wardlaw of Delta, was recently featured in an Air Force Times story which was picked up by AP. The story, “Air Force tanker crew assists stricken jet fighter,” was written by Capt. Martha L. Petersante, a public affairs officer with the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing. She describes a routine mission conducted by the 22nd Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron from the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan. “This day, however, proved to be anything but normal as the crew found themselves in a unique situation, literally acting as a wingman to a much smaller fighter jet

in trouble,” Capt. Petersante wrote. Lt. Col. Aaron Wardlaw, 22 EARS aircraft commander, and his team delivered during crunch time, guiding the aircraft through a series of specific maneuvers to reset the on-board flight computers and allowing the pilot to regain effective communications and navigational instruments. “It’s all about taking care of your own,” Wardlaw said. “While we may operate different platforms, ultimately he’s a fellow airman who needed our help on a bad day.” Wardlaw grew up in the Crystal River Valley, attended school in Carbondale and graduated from Roaring Fork High School. He completed

ground school from Colorado Mountain College while in high school and learned to fly in Aspen and Glenwood Springs, completing his private pilot’s license before graduating high school. He earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aviation from Oklahoma State University, and has hours toward his doctorate. Aaron now resides in Stillwater, Okla., with his family and has been with the Oklahoma Air Guard for 21 years. Aaron has been cross trained in both C130s and KC135s. “Needless to say we are very proud of our son and his flight crew,” Cindy Wardlaw said.

Delta photographer compiles ‘Peaks of the Uncompaghre’ BY PAT SUNDERLAND Managing Editor

The popular posters depicting mountain ranges in western Colorado have been compiled in a book authored by Delta photographer Jeff Burch and Don Paulson. “Peaks of the Uncompahgre” features labeled images and the stories behind the names of the mountains surrounding Ouray. With just one exception, all the photos in the book, as well as peak identification, elevations and labeling, were done by Jeff Burch. Don Paulson researched how the peaks were named. Paulson left California after a 36-year career at California State University, where he did research and taught in the field of organic chemistry. He and his wife had built a

home in Ouray in 1999, and when he retired in 2006 they became fulltime residents. Paulson is curator of the Ouray County Museum and serves on the board of the Ridgway Railroad Museum. He has given numerous talks on Ouray County history and has written and edited a number of articles focusing on local history. Burch has worked for the U.S. Forest Service for 33 years, including 22 on the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison national forests. An avid hiker, he often wondered about the names of the peaks he spotted in the distance. He came across a couple of sources which proved unreliable and said to himself, “I can do better than that.” That was the beginning of a growing business called

Peaks of the Uncompahgre

coloradothirteeners.com, a company which produces panoramic prints of sweeping vistas, with each peak clearly labeled. His first poster, “View Looking South from Montrose,” was published in 2001 and still a popular seller. It is the basis for “Peaks of the Uncompahgre” and other labeled images of Colorado. The book is divided into three geographical areas — the Sneffels Range; the peaks near Ouray, Yankee Boy Basin and Ironton Park; and the Cimarrons. The authors focus only on mountain names, elevations and how the mountains came to be named; those seeking tips on gaining access to the mountains will need to look elsewhere. “We hope you will put this book in your car or truck, along with your maps, and refer to it as you travel the area,” the authors note in the introduction. “It would be a treat for us to, someday, see you stopped along the roadside, looking up at the peaks and pointing to the pages of this book.” The book — and fullsize versions of the posters contained within its pages — can be purchased at stores throughout western Colorado, including Clubb’s Frame Shop and PaperWorks in Delta, or through Burch’s website, www.coloradothirteeners.com.

Daniels Fund announces new application process A new “open application” for the Daniels Scholarship has gone live on the Daniels Fund website. For the first time, the process will make it possible for students to initiate and submit their own applications online. The deadline to apply is Nov. 29. The new approach gives students direct access to the scholarship application, rather than requiring them to be nominated before applying. It also offers an easy-to-use interface that

streamlines the application process. “In establishing the Daniels Scholarship, cable pioneer Bill Daniels wanted to seek out outstanding young people who possess tremendous strength of character, the passion to succeed, a willingness to work hard, and a commitment to giving back to the community,” explained Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund. “We believe the new open application process

will provide even greater access to outstanding candidates who demonstrate the qualities Bill Daniels was looking for in Daniels Scholars,” she added. Each year, approximately 250 new Daniels Scholars are selected from among thousands who apply. They go through a rigorous application, interview, and selection process. The reward of being selected for the program is the opportunity to obtain a 4-year college education at any nonprofit college or university in the United States, complete with financial and personal support throughout the college journey. To be eligible to apply for a Daniels Scholarship students must be current high school seniors graduating during the 20122013 academic year from a high school in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, or Wyoming. They must be a current resident of one of those states and at the time of application be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States. They must also demonstrate financial need and other requirements of the scholarship. The Daniels Scholarship is not “full ride,” but is supplemental to all other financial aid resources, including Pell Grants, available to the student. After other financial resources have been applied, the Daniels Scholarship covers all required tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies and a variety of other miscellaneous expenses. Students also receive a laptop computer and a printer. Visit www.daniels fund.org for more information.

Uncompahgre water tour set for Sept. 25 BY HANNAH HOLM Coordinator, Water Center at Colorado Mesa University

The Water Center at Colorado Mesa University is pleased to announce two exciting opportunities to learn about water in our region: an eighthour “Water Law in a Nutshell” class on Friday, Sept. 21, and a water tour of the Uncompahgre Valley on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Both events are open to the general public. “Water Law in a Nutshell”

Do you have some understanding that senior water rights have priority over junior water rights in Colorado, but get a bit confused when people start talking about augmentation plans and conditional water rights? Are you a little fuzzy on the difference between a ditch share and a water right? And would you like to understand all of this a whole lot better? If so, then this course is for you. On Friday, Sept. 21,

the Water Center at CMU will host “Water Law in a Nutshell,” an 8-hour seminar presented by Mr. Aaron Clay, Attorney at Law and former 26-year Water Referee for the Colorado Water Court, Division 4. This seminar will cover all aspects of the law related to water rights and ditch rights as applied in Colorado. Subject matter includes the appropriation, perfection, use, limitations, attributes, abandonment and enforcement of vari-

ous types of water rights. Additional subject matter will include special rules for groundwater, public rights in appropriated water, Federal and interstate compacts and more. This seminar is open to all interested persons. Fee is $89; $113 for .5 graduate inservice credit. The course has also been pre-approved for 8 hours of Continuing Legal Education credit. For more information or to register, see http://www.

Reservoir storage serves as water saving account BY JIM POKRANDT Colorado River Water Conservation District

Reservoirs are water savings accounts. Largely, they operate to catch snowmelt for use later in the summer–but are big enough to build a nest egg for future drought years. If you like to brush your teeth, shower, eat and water your lawn, you are a water user, dependent on this system so necessary in arid Colorado. So how are the reservoirs holding up in this drought year? They are working as planned, but water levels are being drawn down. Green Mountain Reservoir is currently about half full, well below the August average. Clearly it is going to need a good snow year this winter. Lake Powell, located in northern Arizona and southern Utah, is Colorado’s biggest water-savings account, helping Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah meet obligations under the Colorado River Compact of 1922. More on that in a moment. First, Powell is a good indicator of drought on a regional basis. Currently, it is at 70 percent of its August average but 58 percent of capacity. It could have been worse except for the outstanding snow year in 201011. But this past runoff season was abysmal. The April-July inflow was 2.06 million acre-feet (29 percent of average), mak-

ing it the third driest on record since the closure of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963, the Bureau of Reclamation reports. Only 1977 and 2002 had lower sameperiod inflows. So no savings accrued this year. Local reservoir conditions have much to do with how water utilities establish outdoor wateruse rules and how ranchers and farmers cooperate to get by on what’s available. So it bears watching how Green Mountain, Dillon and other “buckets” in Colorado fare for the rest of the year. Have water providers and water users done enough to stave off more drastic water restrictions next year? By next March, we are likely to know. But Lake Powell is the big game. Its long-term health will determine in future decades whether Colorado and the other states just mentioned have to curtail water use in order to keep required flows heading to Arizona, California and Nevada. In 1922, when negotiators from the seven states divided the river for human use, the Lower Basin States got the better half. They get theirs before we get ours. Powell has made sure that this day of reckoning has never come, and hopefully never will. But we need more than hope. That’s why the Colorado River District and many of its constituents in Western Colorado are discussing risk manage-

ment when it comes to future water development projects such as the Flaming Gorge pumpback, for example. Water providers on the Front Range are also engaged. Nobody knows for sure where we cross the line of developing too much water and forcing a curtailment on the Colorado River system that nobody wants, no matter which side of the Continental Divide. The Front Range has a big stake. Colorado River water in amounts between 450,000 and 600,000 acre-feet goes to the east in any given year, depending on conditions. Those transmountain flows are taken under water rights that would be subject to compact curtailment. Risk management means trying to understand steps that can be taken to right-size a project or even forestall a project until more information is known about water supply and climate change. It is being incorporated into “scenario planning,” a process of figuring out a range of possible futures and strategies that meet those futures. These concepts are under study by the Colorado Water Conservation Board, nine basin roundtables and the Interbasin Compact Committee, the latter two formed in 2005 under the Colorado Water for the 21st Century Act. Gov. Hickenlooper has asked these entities to

come up with a statewide water plan by 2016, to address water supply for a population that could double to 10 million people by 2050. So while we think short term about drought, reservoir levels and more powder days (yeah!), keep an eye on Powell and the larger issues it represents. This is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning and let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa. edu/WaterCenter.

coloradomesa.edu/eso/ WaterLaw.html or call the Water Center at 970248-1968. Uncompahgre Valley Water Tour Over 100 years ago, a tunnel was drilled from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison to carry water from the Gunnison River to the Uncompahgre Valley. The water flowed, and a rich diversity of farms flourished. In an all-day tour on Tuesday, Sept. 25, learn about this fascinating history and see how the valley is responding to newer challenges: the opportunity to develop hydropower from canals, the need to control the levels of salt and selenium leaching from farmland into the Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers, and the need to get more precise with irrigation when water supplies dwindle. The tour will start and finish at the Bill Heddles Recreation Center at Confluence Park in Delta and will run from 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The tour is being co-hosted by the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association, the Delta-Montrose Electric Association and the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University. The tour will begin with a presentation on the history of water development in the Uncompahgre Valley by Steve Fletcher, Manager of the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Association. Stops will include the South Canal hydropower project, which is currently under construction, the Ironstone diver-

sion on the Uncompahgre River, a ditch lining project on the EC lateral, Randy Meeker’s farm, and David Harold’s farm. Mr. Meeker employs sprinkler irrigation, and Mr. Harold uses a drip system. The tour is open to anyone who is interested. The $40 fee includes transportation, breakfast and a picnic lunch at the Mountain View Winery near Olathe. For more information or to register, see www.coloradomesa.edu/watercenter/ UncompahgreTour.html or call the Water Center at 970-248-1968. This is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning and let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa. edu/WaterCenter.

Tree auction The Colorado State University Master Gardeners will hold its 15th annual tree auction and plant sale on Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Mesa County Extension office on the fairgrounds in Grand Junction. The plant sale is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the auction, featuring Buster Cattles, begins at 10 a.m.

Lavender conference includes area tour The Lavender Association of Western Colorado is proud to host the upcoming Southwest Lavender Conference – Beyond the Basics. There will also be a guided motorcoach tour of area lavender farms on Sunday, Sept. 30. This conference is open to the public and especially relevant to anyone who is growing or thinking about growing lavender to make products such

as bath and body oils, lotions or creams, culinary spice blends using lavender buds and all aromatherapy products. The association always advises people interested in growing lavender as a commercial crop to “start with the end in mind.” This conference will help you see what your “end” should be. This conference would also be of interest

to anyone who is looking for a viable alternative cash crop to their existing farm, orchard or ranch. The conference will be held at Two Rivers Convention Center in downtown Grand Junction on Sept. 28, 29 and 30. Please visit our website at www. coloradolavender.org to register for this informative conference.

boys to promote the gospel to cowboys and to all those who love that style of life. The goal of this camp meeting is to have a great time worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the old-fashioned cowboy way. Organizers hope to bring back memories for some, and plant new ones for others. They want to start a tradition that will carry into the next generation and beyond. If you love cowboys and cowgirls, and if you love having a good time, you don’t want to miss this event. For more information, call Gunnison Valley Church of the Nazarene at 874-0848.

PUC resumes hearings about telecom rule changes The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will hold two public hearings on the Western Slope this week as it continues to take public comment about proposed changes to its telecommunications rules. A public hearing will

be held in Montrose on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 4 p.m. at the city council chambers, 433 S. 1st Street. The following day, Sept. 20, the PUC will take comment beginning at 1 p.m. at the Rifle Branch Library, 207 East Avenue, in Rifle.

Five-year employee Tammie Abeyta was recognized for five years of employment at Delta County Memorial Hospital during the month of September.

The PUC is considering updates to its rules based on technological and competitive changes in the telecom industry. The proposed rules are intended to reduce regulation where it is appropriate, including reductions to Colorado High Cost Support Mechanism (CHCSM), which reimburses certain telecom providers for serving customers in high-cost areas of the state. The proposed rules would define and set forth factors the commission deems appropriate when determining if an “effectively competitive area” exists. Regulatory treatment, and high cost support, would be lessened in geographical areas where basic local exchange service is found to have effective competition. Formal rulemaking hearings are scheduled for Oct. 1-4 at the PUC in Denver. Written comments may be submitted through the PUC website. Comments should be submitted to Docket No. 12R-862T.

equipment for the hospital and its employees, are possible only because of fundraisers like the Pea Green Pedal. This is the first year for the fun run/bike ride, which offers options for every member of the family. All activities begin and end at the Lions Pavilion in Confluence Park on Saturday, Sept. 22. Registration opens at 8 a.m. for the bike ride, with a 9 a.m. start for either an 18-mile or 40-mile bike ride. The 40-mile route is a loop to Olathe and back on gently rolling terrain. The 18-mile ride heads south to Banner Road before doubling back toward Delta. Both options take bicyclists through the farming community of Pea Green, where water and restrooms will be available. The fee for the bike ride is $30 if pre-registered by Sept. 10 and $35 after that date. Registration for the 5k fun run begins at 10 a.m. The run through Confluence Park starts at 10:30 a.m. Registration for the 5k run/walk is $20 by Sept. 10 and $25 after. Kids

will be served starting at 11:30 a.m. A fee of $5 will be charged to non-participants. A registration form can be found online at dcmh foundation.org. Register early, as space is limited to the first 200 entries.

In conjunction with the ride, the DCMH Foundation will be raffling off a 1.1 Trek bicycle. Raffle tickets are available from foundation board members or by calling 8742291. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10.

DCMH receives award for breastfeeding support Delta County Memorial Hospital and 19 other Colorado hospitals received awards from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Sept. 18 for implementing best practices to support breastfeeding. Last year, the department recognized 13 hospitals. There now are 33 hospitals — more than half of all Colorado birthing hospitals — that give new mothers the support they need to start and continue breastfeeding. “Our Colorado hospital community is making great strides in supporting breastfeeding for new mothers,” said Dr. Chris Urbina, executive director and chief medi-

cal officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “We know breastfeeding can help prevent childhood obesity and reduce the risk of many childhood illnesses. The majority of new mothers want to breastfeed, and these hospitals play a vital role in giving babies a healthy start.” Hospitals that receive the Colorado Can Do 5! breastfeeding award implement five best practices: 1. The infant is breastfed in the first hour after birth. 2. The infant is fed only breast milk in the hospital. 3. The infant stays in

the same room with the mother in the hospital. 4. The infant does not use a pacifier in the hospital. 5. Hospital staff gives each mother a telephone number to call for help with breastfeeding after being discharged from the hospital. Supporting mothers in their breastfeeding efforts is effective and inexpensive early intervention to the prevention of obesity, one of the state’s winnable battles. By 2016, the department’s goal is to increase the percentage of mothers who report some breastfeeding of their infants at 6 months of age from 61 percent to 65 percent.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one-third of adults over the age of 65 experience at least one fall each year. Muscle strength, reaction time, and stability can also decline dramatically after the age of 50. With these age-related factors, it’s essential that senior adults remain active to maintain their mobility, prevent falls, and make everyday tasks easier. Senior adults should focus on these four areas of exercise: • Endurance – The National Institute on Aging (NIA) suggests that senior adults participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity that increases their heart rate, such as walking, jogging, biking, swimming, or raking, every day. If you don’t have a 30-minute time frame to spare or if you’re just starting to exercise, you can break your workout into 10minute increments. • Strength – It’s also essential that older adults continue working their muscles, so they can easily get up from a chair, climb stairs, carry groceries, and perform other daily tasks. According to the NIA, senior adults should exercise their major muscle groups at least two days per week for 30 minutes. Weights, resistance bands, and other common objects, like soup cans, can be used to train muscles. If you’re new to weightlifting, start light and gradually increase the amount of weight. • Balance – Improving your balance can reduce the risk of falling. When you’re starting out, you may need to use a chair or wall as support. Balance exercises, such as standing on one foot, walking heel-to-toe, and practicing standing up and sitting down without using your hands, can be done anytime and anywhere. • Flexibility – Don’t forget to stretch, so you can continue to move freely and maintain your range of motion. Having and maintaining flexibility makes tying shoes, reaching items on a shelf, and other actions easier. The NIA recommends that older adults stretch three to five times each workout session, slowly stretching to a position and holding it for 10 to 30 seconds. Healthy Eating It’s essential to maintain proper nutrition as you age. MyPlate, a plan introduced by the United States Department of

Agriculture, is a reminder to fill half of the plate with fruits and vegetables and the remainder with lean protein and grains. Here are some tips for balanced meals from ChooseMyPlate.gov: • Vegetables – Vegetables should have a large presence on your plate because they provide vitamins and minerals. There are many options to make sure you consume enough servings each day – fresh or frozen vegetables, vegetable soup, and canned vegetables labeled “low sodium” or “no salt added.” • Fruits – Fruits offer essential nutrients, including potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and folic acid. To incorporate more fruits into your diet, keep a bowl of fruit on the counter, purchase dried or frozen fruits, top your cereal with bananas, peaches, or strawberries, or toss some with a salad. • Whole grains – Choose whole grains such as barley, popcorn, quinoa, pilaf, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, and bulgur. When purchasing products, select options that include whole grain first on the ingredient list. • Fat-free or low-fat dairy – Pair your meals with skim or one percent milk. These options offer calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and more. Individuals can include more lowfat dairy in their diets by substituting ingredients – plain yogurt instead of sour cream, fat-free milk instead of cream, and ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese. • Protein – Choose proteins such as lean beef and pork, chicken, turkey, nuts, eggs, beans, peas, and soy products. Prepare a seafood meal twice a week. • Water – It’s essential for older adults to be conscious of how much water they’re consuming. The NIA explains that as a person ages, they begin to experience a loss of the

thirst sensation. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty to have a drink. Incorporate water into your daily diet. Consume foods that increase water intake – soup, oranges, watermelon, tomatoes, and leafy, green vegetables. Take a bottle of water with you when you leave home. Drink before and during workouts. Mind Matters There are many activities that older adults can do to keep their minds sharp. Here are some ideas: • Stay mentally active. Play games that challenge your mind – Sudoku, crossword puzzles, chess, cards, and memory games. Continue your education by taking classes, learning a new hobby, attending lectures, and more. Stray from the norm by reading a new section in the newspaper or taking an alternative route to a familiar location. • Keep a journal. An effective way to boost your memory is to write down the things you want to remember. • Get enough sleep. The NIA suggests that older adults get seven to nine hours of sleep each night to increase alertness and boost brain function. • Be social. According to the Mayo Clinic, social interaction can help fend off depression and stress, which can contribute to memory loss. Look for opportunities to spend time with others – go for lunch, volunteer, join a social group, and participate in other shared activities. TOPS Club Inc.

Facts about childhood fever

Photo submitted

25 years of service Elaine Hall (right) was recently recognized for 25 years of employment at Delta County Memorial Hospital.

Fevers scare many parents. When a child’s temperature rises, it can induce panic and helplessness. But when parents recognize that fevers are oftentimes not incredibly harmful to children, that recognition can reduce panic and overreliance on fever-reducing medication. If a child is healthy, a fever does not necessarily indicate anything serious. A fever is a rise in temperature initiated by the hypothalamus in the brain, which acts as the body’s internal thermostat. The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C), but if body temperature is measured consistently throughout the day, this temperature

How much do you know about MRSA? MRSA is methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus, a potentially dangerous type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics and may cause skin and other infections. Recent data show that Americans visit the doctor approximately 12 million times each year to get checked for suspected Staph or MRSA skin infection. “As with all regular staph infections, recognizing the signs and receiving treatment for MRSA skin infections in the early stages reduces the chances of the infection becoming severe,” said Jeanine Finnell RN, Delta County Memorial Hospital infection preventionist. MRSA is spread by having direct contact with another person’s infection; sharing personal items, such as towels or razors, that have

touched infected skin; and touching surfaces or items, such as used bandages, contaminated with MRSA. What are the signs and symptoms? Most staph skin infections, including MRSA, appear as a bump or infected area on the skin that may be red, swollen, painful, warm to the touch, full of pus or other drainage, and accompanied by a fever. What if I suspect an MRSA skin infection? Cover the area with a bandage and contact your healthcare professional. It is especially important to contact your healthcare professional if signs and symptoms of an MRSA skin infection are accompanied by a fever. How are MRSA skin infections treated? Treatment for MRSA skin infections may

include having a healthcare professional drain the infection and in some cases prescribe an antibiotic. Do not attempt to drain the infection yourself — doing so could worsen or spread it to others. If you are given an antibiotic, be sure to take all of the doses (even if the infection is getting better), unless your healthcare professional tells you to stop taking it. How can I protect my family from MRSA skin infections? Know the signs of MRSA skin infections and get treated early. Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered. Encourage good hygiene such as cleaning hands regularly. Discourage sharing of personal items such as towels and razors.

will fluctuate. In fact, body temperature is often lower in the morning and higher in the middle of the day. In many cases, the hypothalamus raises body temperature as the result of an infection or illness, according to the Nemours Foundation for Children’s Health. It is believed that making the body less hospitable to viruses and bacteria helps reduce their propensity to grow and multiply. A fever is often a good indicator that a person is sick, which can sometimes be difficult to determine if there are no apparent symptoms. This can help parents and doctors discover what is triggering the fever. For parents of toddlers and older children, a fever of 103 F or less is generally nothing to run to the doctor about. There is no inherent harm in letting the fever run its course, and it can actually prove beneficial in fighting the viral or bacterial illness that is causing the fever in the first place. If your child is a newborn, a fever of 101 F or higher can be considered a medical emergency and should be evaluated by a doctor right away. Youngsters ages 7 weeks to 3 months should be brought to a doctor immediately if they have a fever of 101 or higher. If a child has a fever of 104 or higher and his or her body temperature will not come down to 101 or 102 even with treatment, this is a cause for concern. This guideline, courtesy of renowned childhood medical expert Dr. Sears, can help parents determine if their child’s body temperature

Preventing healthcare associated infections There are many types of infections that people can contract while in the hospital. Patients are more susceptible to infections because of having surgery, serious illnesses, and being treated with antibiotics. In last month’s health page article on healthcareassociated infections, Delta County Memorial Hospital reported that in 2011 the hospital’s overall infection rate was 0.28 percent which is significantly lower than the national average of 5 percent for rural hospitals as reported by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. “The staff at Delta County Memorial Hospital takes infection prevention seriously,” says Jeanine Finnell RN, Delta County Memorial Hospital infection preventionist. “There are some simple ways that patients themselves need to be aware of to prevent infection transmissions while they are in the hos-

pital.” Make sure that all doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before and after caring for you. If you do not see providers clean their hands, please ask them to do so. Family and friends who visit you should clean their hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer. If you do not see them clean their hands, ask them to clean their hands also. If you have a wound, inform your nurse or doctor if the area around it is sore or red.

You may go home with a central line IV catheter or a urinary catheter. Your doctors or nurses should explain everything you need to know about taking care of these devices, however make sure you know how to take care of them. If you develop any of the symptoms of an infection — redness or tenderness around the IV site or urinary burning or fever while having a urinary catheter, call your doctor or nurse immediately. It is the responsibility of your caregivers to keep you safe while you are in the hospital, but you can also play a part in your health and safety!

is something they should be concerned about. • Normal temperature — 97 to 99 degrees (36 to 37.2 Celsius). • Low-grade fever — 99 to 100.9 degrees (37.3 to 38.3 Celsius). • Common fever — 101 to 103.5 degrees (38.4 to 39.7 Celsius). • High fever — any fever over 103.6 degrees (39.8 Celsius). Most pediatricians agree that a fever should not be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen if it is not making a child extremely uncomfortable. These medications can be used if the child has pain or is complaining about how they feel about the fever. Acetaminophen is used every 4 hours while ibuprofen lasts a little longer and is given every 6 to 8 hours. When checking fevers, parents often wonder

which thermometer is best. While some parents employ the lips-on-theforehead method, there are more accurate methods of determining temperature readings. • Glass rectal or oral/ underarm thermometers. These have been around the longest and have a proven record of accuracy. They do take the longest to read a temperature and can be difficult when dealing with fidgety kids. • Ear thermometer. This quick and easy thermometer has become a favorite method. But accuracy can vary, giving different readings from each ear. • Temporal thermometer. Another quick method, this thermometer is swept across the temporal artery in the forehead and has a better accuracy rating than the ear thermometer.

Living with diabetes: Keep your feet healthy If you have diabetes, it’s important to take care of your feet and the rest of your body. Checking your feet daily can prevent serious problems. “People with diabetes can develop serious problems with their feet that can affect how easily they can walk and even lead to amputation,” said Mary Grosvenor RD, certified diabetes educator at Delta County Memorial Hospital. Many of these serious problems can be prevented by taking good care of your feet and your health. Manage your diabetes,

including keeping your blood pressure, blood sugar (glucose) and cholesterol at levels your health care provider recommends. Don’t smoke. Smoking reduces blood flow to the feet. Ask for help to stop smoking by calling 8742214 and register for the FreshStart Tobacco cessation program at Delta County Memorial Hospital during the month of October. Make healthy food choices. Stay at a healthy weight. Be physically active every day.

Take your medicines even when you feel good. Have your doctor give you a comprehensive foot exam every time you visit (at least four times a year). Check your feet for sores and other injuries every day. Wear shoes that fit right and do not rub or pinch your feet, or cause blisters. Never walk barefoot or while wearing just socks. How Diabetes Can Hurt Your Feet Some of the ways that diabetes can harm your feet:

Diabetes reduces blood flow to certain areas of the body, especially limbs such as the legs, which makes it harder for your body to heal injuries. Diabetes nerve damage may cause you to no longer feel pain in your feet and you may not realize you have a wound or injury that needs treatment. Diabetic nerve damage appears to be more common in people with the following conditions: •problems controlling blood sugar levels •high cholesterol •high blood pressure •overweight

•older than 40 years Warning Signs If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your health care provider or a podiatrist (foot doctor) right away: You feel pain in your legs or cramping in your buttocks, thighs, or calves during physical activity. Your feet tingle, burn, or hurt. You lose the sense of touch or are not able to feel heat or cold very well. The shape of your feet changes over time. The color and temperature of your feet change. You lose hair on your

toes, feet, and lower legs. The skin on your feet becomes dry and cracked. Your toenails turn thick and yellow. Fungus infections such as athlete’s foot appear between your toes. You experience blisters, sores, ulcers, infected corns and ingrown toenails. The Diabetes Support Group meets on the second Monday each month at 2:30 p.m. at Delta County Memorial Hospital. For more information, please call 874-6410. Source: Centers For Disease Control

Eat for a healthy heart September is Cholesterol Education Month and making healthy food choices is one important thing you can do to reduce your risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death of men and women in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, about 80 million adults in the U.S. have at least one form of heart disease — disorders that prevent the heart from functioning normally — including coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems, heart defects, infections, and cardiomyopathy (thickening or enlargement of the heart muscle). Experts say you can reduce the risk of developing these problems with lifestyle changes that include eating a healthy diet. But with racks full of books and magazines about food and recipes, what is the best diet for a healthy heart? Ray Jensen RD, CDE, Delta County Memorial Hospital, a registered

dietitian, says to follow these simple guidelines when preparing meals: • Balance calories to manage body weight. • Eat at least 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day, including a variety of dark green, red, and orange vegetables, beans, and peas. • Eat seafood (including oily fish) in place of some meat and poultry. • Eat whole grains — the equivalent of at least three 1-ounce servings a day. • Use oils to replace solid fats. • Use fat-free or lowfat versions of dairy products. You should also reduce your sodium intake. The general recommendation is to eat less than 2,300 mg. of sodium a day. But Americans 51 or older, African-Americans of any age, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease should restrict their intake to 1,500 mg. Packaged and Restaurant Food

One way to make sure you’re adhering to healthy guidelines is by using the nutrition labels on the packaged foods you buy. “Product labels give consumers the power to compare foods quickly and easily so they can judge which products best fit into a heart-healthy diet or meet other dietary needs,” Jensen says. “Remember, when you see a percent DV (daily value of key nutrients) on the label, 5 percent or less is low and 20 percent or more is high.” Follow these guidelines when using processed foods or eating in restaurants: • Choose lean meats and poultry. Bake it, broil it, or grill it. • In a restaurant, opt for steamed, grilled, or broiled dishes instead of those that are fried or sautéed. • Look on product labels for foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol. Most of the fats you eat should

come from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, such as those found in some types of fish, nuts, and vegetable oils. • Check product labels for foods high in potassium (unless you’ve been advised to restrict the amount of potassium you eat). Potassium counteracts some of the effects of salt on blood pressure. • Choose foods and beverages low in added sugars. Read the ingredient list to make sure that added sugars are not among the first ingredients. Ingredients in the largest amounts are listed first. Some names for added sugars include sucrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, maple syrup, and fructose. The nutrition facts on the product label give the total sugar content. • Pick foods that provide dietary fiber, like fruits, beans, vegetables, and whole grains.

Hearing loss and treatment Hearing is something many people take for granted. While it’s certainly possible to live a lifetime without so much as a single hearing problem, nearly anyone who has ever been to a musical concert has no doubt considered the possibility of hearing loss, be it temporary or permanent. Just as common as the consideration of hearing loss are the myths associated with hearing loss and treatment. The Better Hearing Institute (BHI), a not-for-profit corporation with a goal of educating the public about hearing loss and what can be done about it, breaks some of those myths. • Minor surgery can fix my hearing. Though med-

ical treatment or surgery can benefit hearing loss, only 5-10 percent of adult cases of hearing loss can benefit from surgery or other treatment. • I have one good ear and one bad ear. When one ear is bad, the natural tendency is to begin favoring the other ear when using the telephone or having face-to-face conversations. This creates the illusion that the so-called “better ear” is normal when it really isn’t. In fact, according to the BHI, most types of hearing loss affect both ears equally and roughly 90 percent of hearing loss patients are in need of hearing aids for both ears. • Hearing loss is for the elderly. Arguably the

most common misconception about hearing loss, this is also entirely untrue. In fact, only 35 percent of people with hearing loss are over the age of 64. Nearly six million people in the United States alone between the ages of 18 and 44 have some hearing loss, and more than one million are school age. • My doctor would have told me if I had hearing loss. According to the BHI, only 14 percent of physicians routinely screen for hearing loss during a physical. Due to the quiet nature of a doctor’s office, it’s easy for the physician to assume your hearing is fine because the environment is quiet and you likely are not exhibiting any symptoms of hear-

Summit features experts on brain, psychological injuries The Western Colorado hosting a summit featurArea Health Education ing national experts on Center (WCAHEC) is brain and psychological health injuries on Saturday, Oct. 13. Only about half of the nation’s veterans seek care through the Veterans Affairs Department, instead relying on civilian providers in their communities. Trauma of war continues to appear thousands of miles from the battlefield. The sacrifices made on the battlefield and lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan apply to the more than 4.5 million civilian head injuries suffered every year. The summit offers important lessons and skills to recognize and care for our returning troops and loved ones. Senator Michael Bennet kicks off the summit. Presenters include Dr. James Kelly, a neurologist from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center who helped write the book on concussion guidelines widely used in athletic and military settings; Colonel David Sutherland, U.S.

Army (retired), past special assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Department of Defense Warrior and Family Support Office; and Dr. Kelly PhillipsHenry, psychologist. Health care providers will find much to value and continuing medical education is available. Others in the community — teachers, coaches, parents, veterans and their families, clergy, counselors, elected officials and many others — will benefit from the inspiration and education provided. “Understanding the issue can pave the way to protecting our loved ones,” says Dr. Carol Giffin-Jeansonne, executive director of WCAHEC. Her son sustained a severe head injury while stateside with the Colorado National Guard. The morning sessions and continuing medical education are free of charge and a nominal fee will be charged for lunch. To register for the summit go to www.wca hec.org or call 244-8400.

ing loss. When visiting the doctor for your next physical, ask him to look for any signs of hearing loss during the physical. • Hearing loss is normal for my age. Hearing loss isn’t normal for anyone, no matter what a friend, relative or even physician might say. • Hearing loss is untreatable. Hearing loss might have been untreatable years ago, but technology has changed that. Though surgery might not be the answer, the BHI notes that 95 percent of people with sensorineural hearing loss can be helped with hearing aids.

Taxpayers stung by mosquito district Some residents say they have paid taxes for years without receiving services from the district BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

A long-running mix-up involving the Delta County Mosquito Control District #1 (District #1) and a half dozen departments of county government has some residents of Orchard City complaining they are not getting services they have paid taxes to receive. Dozens of home owners living on Cory Bench at the south end of Orchard City have paid property tax assessments since the special district was formed in 1966. But for an undetermined number of years (beginning in 2004 or earlier) they have not received any spraying in their neighborhood. In addition, some have been told by District #1 personnel that they aren’t eligible for service because they don’t live within the district boundaries. All the while the county has collected their tax payments and remitted the money to District #1. District #1 is formed as a special district, is not a part of the county government, and is not overseen by the Board of County Commissioners. A resident of Cory Bench, in an e-mail to the DCI, stated she was told in 2008 that her home isn’t in the district. But she and her husband pay over $180 annually in property tax assessments to District #1. The situation came to light last Wednesday, Sept. 12, when residents of Cory Bench came to their town board with complaints. Betty Davis told the Orchard City town board how recently she had called District #1 with a request for spray service. She was refused and told her house isn’t in the district. “District #1 is making a (financial) killing and we’re getting nothing,” Davis said. What followed, she explained, was a visit to the county courthouse where she “got the runaround” through multiple departments trying to straighten the matter out, but with no success. “County GIS (geographic information systems department) and the assessor aren’t on the same page,” she said. Mayor Don Suppes commiserated with his constituents. By paying taxes and not getting service, “you people have been wronged,” he said. Suppes distributed maps during the town board’s meeting which he said were official county versions that clearly

show Cory Bench outside the boundaries of District #1. He promised to get involved. “Tomorrow morning the county commissioners’ ears will be burning and I’ll be the one behind it,” he said. Two days later, on Friday, Sept. 14, a meeting of elected county officials and department heads was convened by county commissioner Bruce Hovde at the courthouse in Delta. Present were the county clerk, the elections director, county GIS director, two board members and staff of Mosquito Control District #1, the county treasurer, county assessor’s office, county administration, and the county health department. Mayor Suppes was not present nor were any residents of Cory Bench. Orchard City was represented by the town clerk. Maps were presented at that meeting showing a very different boundary line for District #1 than the maps distributed at the Orchard City meeting two days earlier. The county’s map version showed the Cory Bench both completely inside and completely outside the District #1 boundary. No one was able to give a clear explanation for multiple versions of the county maps showing different district boundary lines. The meeting room was filled with bemused silence. Heads shook. Apparently Mosquito Control District #1 has, for an unknown length of time, been using a map of its own boundaries that is wrong. Representatives of District #1 did not make a presentation or a statement at the Friday meeting. There was no explanation offered and no denial or dispute of the events that had been reported. A District #1 staff member confirmed that Cory Bench and Austin had been sprayed last week after complaints were received. Hovde said that the county “puts the burden of proof on special districts” for notification of any changes in their boundary lines. Yet District #1, which covers more than 100 sq. miles, has not changed its boundary in the Cory Bench area from its founding in 1966. The county elections department said that a “spot check” of records shows that Cory Bench residents have been eligible to vote in District #1 board elections. The county assessor’s office says that District #1 boundaries have always been clearly and accurately stated in its legal office’s descriptions, so Cory Bench residents have received tax bills annually for District assessments. Unanswered from Friday’s meeting is how did District #1 get the incorrect boundary data it was using about its own district boundaries? Also unanswered: • How do different versions

Health worries prompt appeal for aerial spraying BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

Orchard City residents are increasingly concerned and upset about mosquitoes and the threat of West Nile Virus in their community. On Sept. 12, they expressed their concerns to the town board in a first-hand account of the disease. Barb Fisher told the trustees how on Aug. 21 her husband, Darrell, “fell very ill and was rushed to the emergency room.” Four days later came the positive diagnosis of West Nile virus. “Over the next 10 days he lost a pound a day,” and he now has only enough energy for a half day of activity, Fisher said. The community isn’t generally aware of the seriousness of this illness, she told the town board. “This is serious. This is deadly.” There are other West Nile

cases in Orchard City, Fisher said. “I am asking you to make it a top priority to reinstitute mosquito spraying,” she said, adding, “The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is more concerned about fish in the Gunnison than it is about people.” Fisher is one of the Orchard City residents who holds the EPA and its new regulations accountable for the end of aerial spraying in the town, and for the resulting plague of mosquitoes, the constant threat of West Nile virus infection and cases of the debilitating illness. (See related story this week.) Doug Speedie addressed the board about West Nile’s symptoms and his wife’s experience with a central nervous system infection from the disease. He encouraged the trustees to keep “working and trying if at all possible” to find a way to resume spraying.

of a district boundary maps get produced and distributed when county departments have and use accurate legal descriptions of the boundaries? • Why hasn’t anyone ever noticed contradictions in the map versions before now? • If, as was stated, District #1 did no spraying on Cory Bench at least from 2004 to 2011 when Orchard City was conducting its own aerial spraying, how long prior to 2004 did District #1 also

neglect spraying on the Cory Bench? Orchard City resident Betty Davis, who uncovered the snafu, said that after she pointed out the problems last week the district finally did a ground-based fogging the next day. The district also conducted fogging in Austin last week. Hovde said that despite the lateness in the mosquito season there would be more fogging on Cory Bench and in

Austin. One last question being asked by some residents of Cory Bench and Austin: If taxpayers have paid their assessments and then been excluded from mosquito spray services, can they expect to get their money back from the district, as they would expect from a private business? Hovde ventured to answer that touchy question at Friday’s meeting. “There will be no tax refunds,” he said.

Residents blame EPA for mosquito threat BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

Orchard City residents upset over new federal regulations that have brought an end to the town’s popular and successful aerial mosquito spraying program are blaming the Environmental Protection Agency for having to live with the constant fear of West Nile Virus infection from insect bites, and for new human cases of WNV in Orchard City this year. Town trustee Jan Gage told the DCI in an e-mail, “We must figure out a way to get the EPA to allow aerial spraying before more people die!” Earlier this year the Orchard City Town Board went on record with a unanimous resolution to repeal the new EPA regulations so that aerial spraying can again be used. That resolution was carried to Rep. Scott Tipton by Mayor Don Suppes. Suppes reported, “There isn’t going to be any change until a change is made in the White House and Senate.” At the Orchard City town board’s Sept. 12 meeting, resident Max DeBusk told the trustees that he wants to see the EPA’s anti-aerial spraying regulations repealed so that the effective program of aerial spraying that Orchard City adopted from 2004 until this year can be reinstituted. Gage is only one of the trustees who intends to pursue the issue and sees a community-based campaign as the best option. “I truly believe we can make a difference and it

is probably going to take a grass-roots campaign to make it happen. But next year I expect to be able to stand before my constituents and tell them we did everything we possible could to resolve this issue. If I am unsuccessful, at least I want to have a clear conscience.” The town’s budget included

funds for aerial spraying this year, funds that have gone unspent because the EPA’s regulations have made aerial application too risky in terms of legal liability for the local service to attempt. The town board will leave that money in its budget next year in hopes that the program can be restarted.

Orchard City’s water system is improved BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

Before winter comes, town officials in Orchard City hope to have completed a month-long program to rationalize their sprawling, outside-of-town water distribution enterprise. The last five of the town’s 38 private pipeline companies reached agreement with the town last week on submitting required paperwork and installing system upgrades. Three of the companies were given extensions to complete compliance with the town’s new rules for water service. The Kehmeier Pipeline was given until Nov. 1 to complete required compliance on paperwork submissions and backflow prevention. Issues yet to be fully resolved between the two users on the pipeline have left the company’s contract for service expired since July of last year. Town Attorney Larry Beckner advised the trustees that the water

users’ private discussions were a “political” matter, and that the town board’s policy role was to decide on whether to grant an extension, and if so how long of one. The Bull Mesa Pipeline was given until Nov. 15 to work out details with the town public works department on technical issues for installing a required cross-system connection device. The Steinmiller Pipeline was given a 30-day extension beyond the date of receiving a CDOT permit to perform system installation work within the CDOT right-of-way along Hwy. 65 north of Orchard City. The town is working with the pipeline users to help them get the CDOT permit. One of four properties on the Steinmiller Pipeline is in foreclosure and another is likely soon to be, trustees were told. Trustees said they will grant leniency to the company for completing its articles of incorporation until ownership of the

distressed properties is resolved. Another private pipeline company, the Cox Pipeline, was granted until Nov. 15 to complete a system upgrade that will qualify it for being taken over by the town. Trustees voted to extend its upgrade and takeover program to the company, and to pay its share of half the materials cost, estimated at $1,651. A fifth pipeline company had completed its required upgrade work and system documentation earlier in the week. In other business at its Sept. 12 regular meeting, the town board noted the resignation of trustee Matt Soper. Letters from eligible applicants wanting appointment to the remainder of his two-year term that began in April are now being accepted at town hall. Mayor Don Suppes said that the trustees hope to appoint his successor at their October meeting.

Gary, Paul and is so full of joy when he sings. It is such a happy start to my day when I hear Paul sing.” Another neighbor, John Mitchell, is also impressed with Paul. “It’s easy to forget that he is only five years old. He converses at a near adult level, has a great sense of humor and is extremely inquisitive to learn whatever he can from everybody he meets.” Paul started kindergarten in Cedaredge this school year where he is social and engaging with his new classmates.

Vicki Duckworth Paul’s parents must make frequent trips to Denver Children’s Hospital for Paul’s extensive ongoing care with many physicians. Their family sedan is too small to transport Paul and all the equipment he requires. This means that Paul has to do without some of the equipment — such as a stander — that makes his daily routine much easier. The fundraising effort is in response to a very generous offer by a Rotary member who has made available a used handicapped van in excellent condition with

a wheelchair lift at more than a third below the book value of the vehicle. Paul will attend the AppleFest fundraiser as much as possible; his parents, Rotary members, church members and neighbors will also be at the booth for the entire festival. His sensory issues make these kinds of events difficult, but Paul likes to socialize and meet people. The Delta and Cedaredge Rotaries are also collecting donations on behalf of the project. Monetary donations can be made to Delta Rotary Club, P.O. Box 86, Delta CO 81416. Please note on any check “Duckworth Van Project.” The Rotary clubs are already halfway to the goal, through generous donations of Rotary and community members. Marjorie Conner reports that the goal is to raise more than the purchase price so an ongoing maintenance fund can also be established. The clubs are also collecting prize donations for the winners of the “What’s A Duck Worth?” contest. For further information contact Marjorie Conner at 856-3352.

Giddyup Kitty to perform in Cedaredge The band Giddyup Kitty is scheduled for a performance in Cedaredge this Friday. The band is composed of three musicians that make the Eastern Slope of Colorado their home. Members of the band are all seasoned performers; they are Kerry Claxton on vocals, guitar and mandolin; Adrienne Yauk on vocals, guitar and dobro; and, Marni Pickens on bass. Special guest Rodd Taylor on fiddle will perform with the band. Their concerts are high energy and audiences will be introduced to original materials as well as traditional music.

She has played in most of the major festivals in Colorado including the Telluride, Mid-Winter, Rocky Mountain (Rocky Grass) and the North Fork Bluegrass Festivals. She is an award-winning singer and songwriter and is also an accomplished musician on the mandolin, guitar, and bass. Kerry has released one solo CD and has performed on several other projects.

Kerry Claxton, Marni Pickens, and Adrienne Yauk comprise the band Giddyup Kitty that will be performing in Cedaredge on Friday, Sept. 28. Adrienne Yauk has been performing in the West for longer than she can remember and has also traveled the world and weathered the storms.

bass player. Born in the shadows of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, she moved to New York City. As a city-dweller Marni learned how to navigate intricate subway systems and how to play just about any type of music. From CBGB to the Bitter End, she has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Joey Remone, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ronnie Spector, Kristen Thien, Torin Alter, David Driver, and Gretchen Phillips. Location of the event is the Pondy, on Main Street in Cedaredge. This will be a smoke-free event. Tickets, available at the door, are $10. The show begins at 7 p.m.

Candidate makes quick visit in Cedaredge

Photo by Bob Borchardt

Mesa Lakes overlook The aspen are beginning to turn on Grand Mesa, making for breathtaking vistas such as this overlook at the Mesa Lakes.

On Sunday, Sept. 9, on her way home from the Club 20 debates, State Rep. Millie Hamner dropped in to visit with voters at Cedaredge Town Park. She is a candidate for the newly created House District 61, which includes the Surface Creek and North Fork areas of Delta County. In attendance were Barbara Silverman, Gerry Murano, Wilma Reeves, Dea Jacobson and Elaine Brett. Issues discussed included the many challenges in maintaining small businesses in the county. The Gallagher Amendment was mentioned as being particularly onerous. The amendment, which passed in 1982, shifted large amounts of property tax liability from residential to commercial property owners and discouraged business investment and economic development. Other issues discussed were the needs of seniors

and veterans, the importance to our economy of our scenic byways, tourism, hunting and fishing, energy development and watershed protection. Rep. Millie Hamner was appointed to fill the vacancy left by outgoing Rep. Christine Scanlan in House District 56 on Dec. 12, 2010. She began her career in Colorado public education as a teacher and administra-

tor in the Eagle County School District in 1978. She taught and served the Eagle County School District for 23 years before being asked to become assistant superintendent of the Summit School District in the fall of 2001. She was promoted to superintendent in March 2004. More information can be found at her website, www.milliehamner.com.

Second half key to grid win

Panthers roll in 25-21 win BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

Delta, 2-1 and 1-0, in 3A WSL football standings, had its hands full with the visiting Eagle Valley Devils last Friday. The Panthers lost four fumbles during the game but managed to rally for

a second-half comeback and a 25-21 win in WSL play. Eagle Valley rocked the Panthers, and their fans, with an 87-yard touchdown on the game’s opening kickoff. Cole Nielsen took the initial kickoff from Jonney Ponce and

twisted his way through the Delta defenders to score the game’s first touchdown with 11:46 left in the period. Travis Edgar booted the extra point to make Eagle Valley’s lead 7-0. A fumble on Delta’s first possession gave the

ball right back to the Devils. Eagle Valley could get no closer than the Panthers’ 29 in their next two possessions and the first quarter score was 7-0. Delta, operating on a series of downs originating in the first quarter from its own 34, scored with 10:28 left in the second stanza on a 21yard pass from Mitch Whiteside to Chris Black. Ponce’s PAT kick was no good and Eagle Valley held a 7-6 lead. On the Devil’s next possession, quarterback Jordan Hudspeth tossed a nine-yard scoring strike to Zeke Sandoval with 5:42 left before halftime. The 13-play drive culminated with Edgar’s PAT kick to make the score 14-6. Later in the second quarter, Eagle Valley scored from the one on Cody Thurston’s run with 6.9 left before the half. The Edgar kick made it 21-6 at the break. Delta got its second touchdown of the game at the 5:55 mark of the third period when Black collected a 26-yard scoring strike from Mitchell Whiteside. The 10-play scoring drive covered 62 yards. Ponce kicked the extra point to make the

score 21-13. The Panther’s second possession of the period resulted in an 11-play drive that covered 82 yards and a Robert Williams four-yard plunge. A two-point conversion attempt failed to leave Eagle Valley ahead 21-19 with 21.9 left in the third frame. On Delta’s second possession of the fourth quarter, the Panthers moved the ball 89 yards in 10 plays with Williams bulling his way into the end zone from five yards out. A two-point conversion failed again and Delta was ahead for the first time at 25-21 with 1:27 left in the game. Delta’s defense stymied the Devils the rest of the way to hold on for a 3A WSL win. Mitchell Whiteside was 11 for 19 in the passing department for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Black was Whiteside’s goto player with nine catches for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Ryan Whiteside hauled in two of his brother’s aerials for 59 yards. On the ground, Delta used a two-pronged running attack with Williams getting the bulk of the load with 29 carries

and 101 yards. Mitchell Whiteside used the option well to collect 48 yards on 18 carries. Cole Nielsen was Eagle Valley’s leading groundgainer with 48 yards on 13 carries. Eagle Valley finished with 96 yards on the ground and another 77 through the air for a total of 173. Delta had 149 yards on the ground and 203 through the air for a total of 352 yards. Black commented on what the win meant for the team. “It means we kept on fighting as a team and were not going to give up. It was an important win for us.” Head coach Ben Johnson was also pleased with his team’s efforts. “It was a good win for us, but we still have some things to work on. We turned the ball over too many times and our execution was not as good as it could be.” Rifle and Palisade are atop the tough 3A WSL standings with 2-0 league marks and 3-0 overall. Delta is in third place with its 1-0 league and 2-1 overall records. Delta is in Craig to face Moffat County’s Bulldogs (1-1 and 2-1) on Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.

Bulldogs score big grid win at Del Norte BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

After a narrow season-opening win at Olathe and a three-point loss at home to No. 1 Buena Vista, the Bulldogs kicked their game into high gear Saturday, defeating Del Norte 4212, at Del Norte. It was the first loss of the season for the Tigers (2-1 overall, 0-0 Southern Peaks League), who were also celebrating their homecoming. Senior Jacobe Galley rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns, returned the second-half opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, and was 6-6 in PATs. Josh

Hardin connected on five of 12 passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The Tigers ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter, but failed to score on a PAT and a twopoint conversion attempt. The Tigers were trailing 28-12 and threatening to close the point gap when Galley intercepted the ball, the Tigers’ second turnover of the game, with 44 seconds remaining in the first half of play. Tight end Conner Beard caught two Hardin passes for touchdowns in the first quarter, and Trenton Tamayo ran for 95 yards in six carries, including one touch-

down. Chris Allen caught two passes for 28 yards, Devan Rupe had two carries for 12 yards, Alex Smith added 31 yards and River Panish added 29 yards to the Bulldogs’ 294-yard rushing game. At the end of week four, and with one game remaining before the start of league play, the Bulldogs remain the No. 4 team in Colorado Preps rankings. They face the Southern Peaks League’s Monte Vista (3-0 overall, 0-0 league) Friday night, at Monte Vista. The Pirates have outscored their opponents 108-13 this season, including a 47-13 win at Roaring Fork last Friday.

On Saturday, against the Del Norte Tigers, Galley scored 32 points in the Bulldogs’ 42-12 win in Del Norte. Galley had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the second half.

Paonia netters win 4, 9-0 BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

At 9-0, Paonia remains the only undefeated team in 2A Western Slope League volleyball after posting another four convincing wins last week. The team doesn’t have a lot of height, and they are starting a freshman and two sophomores. Their bench is, thus far, only two players deep. One of the reasons for their early-season success is consistency. And that is one of many strengths that Carson Pipher, the team’s only junior, brings to the team this season. “The last couple of years I’ve been inconsistent with my hitting,” said Pipher, an athletic 5foot-5 outside hitter who made the varsity squad her freshman year. “I’m starting to get more consistent. That’s good. And the team is doing well, so that’s all that matters, really.” The Lady Eagles also debuted at No. 10 in Colorado Prep’s state rankings. They are the only Western Slope team currently among the top 10

teams, although Rangely (5-1 overall, 2-0 WSL) is among the teams to watch. Paonia will host the Lady Panthers on Sept. 28, as part of their Homecoming Week celebration. Paonia opened the week with a 3-0 win over Norwood (1-2, 0-1, 1A San Juan League). The Mavericks are ranked seventh in state 1A competition and put up a good fight against Paonia. After a 25-16 win in game one, Norwood took game two to extra points, with Paonia pulling out a 27-25 win. Paonia wrapped up the match with a 25-22 game three win. Ce’rra Carsten led the team in kills with 15, with Pipher contributing 21 of the team’s 118 attacks. Abby Campbell, Ce’rra Carston and Easton Hartigan each recorded more than 10 digs. Paonia played four sets to win its league opener Friday at Vail Mountain (2-2, 1-1). “We should have beat them in three,” said Pipher, calling it a “pretty tough” match. Errors in game

Meeker threatened again late in game four when Pipher fired up the team and the crowd with a well-placed kill shot to the back corner. “That was fun,” said Pipher of the kill. “That’s why you play the game.” Against West Grand, the Mustangs were leading 19-9 in game two when Taylor Carsten started serving. The two teams battled through several long volleys, but Carsten got the ball over the net 16 times to give the Lady Eagles a 2519 win. Carsten had a total of seven aces for the night. Paonia hosts North Park this Friday and travels to Soroco Saturday. They’re a young team, said Pipher, but they’re very supportive of each other. “And that’s Photo by Tamie Meck important that we keep Paonia outside hitter Carson Pipher prepares for a kill shot during Saturday’s that going and not fall 3-1 win over Meeker.

Delta volleyball team beats OHS, EVHS foes BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

The week started out with an always-tough rivalry with the Olathe Lady Pirates on Tuesday, Sept. 11. These two teams are almost always guaranteed to provide a quality contest for fans to watch and coaches to wring their hands over. This year’s battle did not disappoint. Olathe hosted Delta and jumped out to a oneset advantage after posting a 25-21 win. The visiting Panthers scrapped their way to a second-set win of 26-24 to tie the match. Delta got the biggest marginal win of the match in set three with its 25-20 decision to go up 2-1 in set-play. Olathe was not through yet however as they closed out a 25-23 squeaker in set four to tie the match at

2-2. With a few breaks, this game might well have been still being played. The fifth set was back and forth with Delta eventually holding on for a 16-14 edge and a 3-2 match win. In Palisade on Thursday (Sept. 13) the play closely resembled what had happened in Olathe just two days earlier. Palisade rolled to a first-set win of 25-20 and Delta tied the match with a 2519 win in the second set. It was Palisade’s turn to win the third set with a 25-22 decision. Delta was strong in the fourth set and seemed to have game momentum on its side as it won 25-18. The fifth set came down to who would make the least mistakes to decide the winner. Delta failed to receive serve on three straight occasions

and the Bulldogs gained a lead that led to a 15-11 win. A Saturday match with Eagle Valley was the second straight 4A league match for Delta. The Lady Devils stayed close to Delta but could not overcome several hitting errors and other miscues to lose in three straight sets 25-19, 25-23 and 25-19. Delta is currently in fourth place in the tough 4A WSL with records of 1-1 in league and 54 overall. Sitting atop league standings is Battle Mountain (1-0, 3-1). Close behind the Lady Huskies Photo by Wayne Crick is Glenwood Springs (1-0, Delta’s Brooke Taylor hammers a point past the defense of Palisade during last 4-4) and Palisade (1-0, week’s match in Palisade.

The Cedaredge Bruin football team seems to have found the ingredients for success as they traveled to Del Norte last Friday (Sept. 14) and handed the Tigers a 38-0 drubbing.

Dante Markley was on in the passing department as he threw nine times with four completions and three touchdowns. Bruins’ receivers accounted for 95 of Cedaredge’s 234 total yards. Cedaredge took con-

trol of the game in the opening quarter with 20 unanswered points. On the game’s first play, Dante Markley hit Reid Gates with a 60-yard catch and run play to put the Bruins up 6-0 with nearly 11 minutes left to play in the period. Alejandro Alejandre booted the extra point to make it 7-0. Kyle Ward hauled in the next touchdown pass from Markley that covered 30 yards. The PAT failed and Cedaredge led 13-0. A third pass before the first quarter ended made it 20-0 after Alejandre’s PAT kick. In the second quarter, Carter Wasser scored the first of his three touchdowns on a three-yard run. The missed PAT left Cedaredge ahead 26-0 at the half. Cedaredge posted two more scores in the third quarter to close out the game’s scoring stats. Carter Wasser’s second score of the game came from two yards out near the three minute mark of the third quarter. The PAT was no good and the Bruins led 32-0. Markley completed his fourth pass of the game to Carter Wasser for the game’s final score. Wasser hauled in the 10-yard scoring strike with little time left on the clock in the third stanza. A missed PAT left the game’s final score at 38-0. Carter Wasser had 59 yards rushing on eight carries while Gates finished with 55 yards on eight carries.

Paonia plays better in loss to Centauri team BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

Four weeks into the season and Paonia has yet to play a home game. They also have yet to earn a win and are now 0-3 following a 7-6 loss last Saturday at Centauri. The Eagles turned the

ball over five times on fumbles and threw one interception against the Falcons. But the game was a big improvement over the previous week’s 38-13 loss to Grand Valley. The team simply wasn’t prepared for Grand Valley, said head coach Rienks.

Paonia defensive back Taylor Katzer is tackled after making an interception at Basalt in the Eagles’ season-opening game. Katzer has four interceptions this season, including two on Saturday in Paonia’s game with Centauri.

A lot of factors lie behind that, but ultimately, it’s the responsibility of the coach to have his team ready for the game. Quarterback Ty Coats said that against the Cardinals there was some confusion over calls, and the result was a series of poorly executed plays that left the Eagles trailing 32-6 at the half. They made some adjustments and outscored Grand Valley, 7-6, in the second half. The team spent much of last week’s practices re-working calls, said Coats. While only one play was misread at Centauri, they couldn’t overcome the turnovers. “The bottom line,” said Rienks, “is that you can’t have five turnovers and one interception and win games.” Despite the loss, a lot of good things happened, said Rienks. The Centauri offense was big and pounded the Eagles with their double-wing PAO. FB TO C9

HHS’ Anderson sets new mark at EV meet BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

For the past few seasons the Hotchkiss cross country team competed in week three at the Grand Junction meet. This year, they opted for a change and ran Saturday at the annual Eagle Valley Cross Country Invitational, which was largely a 3A meet. For the third consecutive race, Hotchkiss placed three girls in the top 10. Natalie Anderson set a new course record of 19 minutes, 27.3 seconds for the win, and Jenni Celis set a new personal best time of 19:44.7 to place second. Freshman Mae Anderson also set a personal record of 20:48 to place eighth. The Hotchkiss girls team placed second with 47 points, behind Summit High School, a 4A school, with 39 points. Freshman Sophia Schelle also set a personal record of 21:41.2 to place 19th, and Tiffany Clock finished in 22:01.76 to place 21st. Laura Edigi ran her best time of the season to place 85th, with Nilam Hypio finishing 86th. A total of 93 girls completed the 5,000-meter course. Hotchkiss placed two runners in the top 10 in the boys race. Cody Bartlett ran a personal best time of 16 minutes, 59.4 seconds to finish third, and Andrew Tiedemann also set a new personal best time of 17:25.4 to place sixth. Class 2A Rangely

High School senior William Scroggins set a new course record of 16:41.90 for the win. Teammates Kurt Katzdorn and Tyrell Clock all finished in the top 25 to give the boys a second-place team finish with 66 points. Eagle Valley claimed the boys title with 32 points. Bryce Homme and Luke Yerion both set new personal best times to the finish line in under 20 minutes, placing 39th and 40th respectively. Taylor Schreiner finished in 20:02.7 to place in the top 50. Clayton Oxford, Eddie Cambria, Keegan Palmer, Will Drbohlav and Andrew Oviedo also completed the course.

More than 120 runners from nine schools competed in the event.

Paonia had four girls finish in the top 25 to place fourth overall with 86 points at Saturday’s Eagle Valley Cross Country Invitational. Taylor Polson finished sixth overall with a time of 20 minutes, 41.6 seconds.

Meilner to finish 17th. Mandy Bushta broke her personal record to place 23rd, and Braiden Clement finished in 23:15.5 to place 33rd. More than 90 girls finished the course. Jason Sturgis and Jacob Helleckson continue to post strong finishes for Paonia. At Saturday’s Eagle Invitational, Sturgis ran his best time of the season to place 15th with a time of 18 minutes, 7.10 seconds. For Sturgis, a junior, it was his second-fastest

time in his three years of racing. Helleckson also posted the fastest time in his two years of cross country competition. The senior finished in 18:41.6 to place 21st.

Ethan Ferguson, Garrett Morgan, Austin Katzer, Cameron Van Vleet and Bo Pipher were among the scoring runners for Paonia, which placed sixth out of nine teams with 172 points.

Hotchkiss 2-5 in V-ball BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

It was an up and down week for Hotchkiss, with the Lady Bulldogs volleyball team ending the week at 1-2, including a grueling three-set loss to Roaring Fork (8-1 overall, 1-0 3A Western Slope League) on Sept. 11. Rams senior twins Megan and Hattie Gianinetti recorded seven kills toward Roaring Fork’s win. In game one’s 25-9 loss, two of the Bulldogs’ nine points came on kills by Daryll Batt. Batt opened game two

with a kill shot, but the Lady Rams persisted. Hotchkiss put up a strong defense, and only allowed the Lady Rams one service ace. The Lady Bulldogs hit their stride in game three, trailing by less than three through most of the game and tying it up at 14-all on a kill shot by Savannah Rocha. Following a string of long volleys, Hotchkiss trailed 20-18. Roaring Fork took control on a service error, and wrapped the game up at 25-19. Hotchkiss hosted a tri-

angular Saturday, playing West Grand (5-5, 3-2 2A WSL) in the afternoon and Meeker (4-3, 1-0 WSL) in the evening. Batt, an outside hitter, was named player of the game after recording 12 serving aces, 10 digs, 19 attacks and eight kills in the 3-0 win over West Grand (17-25, 23-25, 2125). Kristina Deloury had 22 attacks and six kills and Kelli Buhrdorf added four kills to the win. Rocha made five of the team’s eight solo blocks. Of their 71 serve attempts, Hotchkiss

made only three errors and scored 16 serve aces. Saturday evening, Hotchkiss played three close sets against Meeker (25-21, 25-19, 26-24), but failed to gain a win. Hotchkiss is now 2-5 overall and 1-2 in league play. The Lady Bulldogs host Rifle (4-4, 1-0, 3A Western Slope League) Friday, with games beginning at 4 p.m. On Saturday, Hotchkiss travels to Plateau Valley (2-5, 0-2, 1A WSL). On Sept. 25, they host Cedaredge beginning at 4 p.m.

DHS soccer team loses BY WAYNE CRICK DCI Sports Editor

Delta’s soccer woes continued last week with a pair of losses to Roaring Fork and Battle Mountain. Both losses were 3-0 deficits. The Panthers, playing in the 4A WSL, took on Roaring Fork’s Rams on Thursday, Sept. 13, at Delta Middle School stadium and faced Battle Mountain in Edwards on Saturday. Against the Rams, defense was the name of the game as the usually potent Roaring Fork offense was held to one goal in the first half before a second half rally netted two goals for a 3-0

win. Lalo Clement scored twice for the Rams and Enrique Abarca once to account for Roaring Fork’s scoring. Delta coach Elaine Wood knew going into Edwards the Huskies were a team to be cautious with. As it turned out, the Panthers played a strong defensive game once again and lost to the 4A WSL leaders 3-0. Battle Mountain’s Joe Lybarger found the back of the net for two goals and Chris Shea scored once to lead the Huskies to their fifth win against no losses. In a conversation with Wood on Monday morning the excitement

was still in the Delta coach’s voice. “This was a tough defensive game. We played them (Battle Mountain) different and played a solid defensive game. Battle Mountain is a top team and is rated in the top five in the state. I was proud of the way we played. We felt as though we had won the game.” Battle Mountain took only seven shots in the match and the Panthers had three shots on goal. In the 4A WSL, Delta finds themselves well down in the standings despite having played many of their foes close. Battle Mountain is the league leader at 3-0-0 in league and 5-0-0 overall.

Close behind the Lady Huskies is Summit whose record is 3-0-0 and 4-10. Steamboat Springs is listed third at 2-2-0 and 3-2-0, Palisade is fourth with its 2-2-0 and 2-2-0, and Eagle Valley is fifth at 2-3-0. Sixth place belongs to Rifle (1-2-0 and 2-2-0) and Delta is listed seventh at 0-3 and 2-5 overall. Glenwood Springs is in the cellar with a record of 0-3-0 and 1-3-0. Delta is looking at a three-game run starting on Sept. 18 in Coal Ridge at 4 p.m. Next for the Panthers is Eagle Valley in Delta on Saturday at 12 noon and on Tuesday, Sept. 25, Delta travels to Aspen for a match beginning at 4 p.m.

Ced. FB Beau Hebert, and Gates finished with four tackles each. Dustin Stracener had three solo tackles and three assists. Markley had a pair of interceptions for 72 yards and Cade Wasser one pilfer for no yards. Cedaredge currently leads the 1A WSL with a 3-1 record. Hotchkiss is second at 2-1 with Roaring Fork next at 12, Meeker at 0-2, Lake County 0-3, and Paonia 0-3. Up next for Cedaredge is a bye week.

Dylan Stroud and Joel Simianer both had five tackles and a sack, and Simianer also recovered a Centauri fumble. Cornerback Taylor Katzer and safety Taylor Walters each had two interceptions.

The longest Eagles drive of the game, 70 yards, came in the fourth quarter and was fueled by a 33-yard run by Will Austin. The drive concluded with a four-yard touchdown run by Rieder. The Eagles failed to connect on the conversion. “Other than turnovers, the game was definitely a step in the right direction,” said Rienks. The Eagles have two

Bulldogs 4-3 heading into DC Tennis Tourney BY TAMIE MECK DCI Sports Writer

With wins at No. 2 and 3 singles and 3 and 4 doubles, the Hotchkiss tennis team posted a 4-3 win last Wednesday over Fruita Monument High School’s junior varsity squad. The Bulldogs lost 4-3 against the 5A school on Aug. 23. Photo submitted Three of last week’s Left to right: Natalie Mills, Idamae Morris, Lexy Loy, Danae Garcia and Ayralin matches went to tieHoffbauer. breakers. No. 1 singles Tony Ibarra, who won his August match in a 10-7 tiebreaker, again went into the tiebreaker, but fell short in a 10-8 loss. Ibarra is now 4-3 for the season after defeating Austin Bowen of Cedaredge, 6-2, 6-4, last Thursday. No. 2 singles Brydie Mitchell (6-1) won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1, at Fruita Monument. At No. 3 singles, Azure Eller (6-1) pulled off a 61, 6-3 win against Fruita

Monument. Fruita Monument swept the doubles matches back in August, but after making some adjustments to the doubles line-up, Hotchkiss walked away with wins at 3 and 4 doubles. At 3 doubles, Caleb Bayles and Josh Parsons teamed up to defeat Fruita 105 in a tiebreaker after splitting sets, 6-2, 2-6. Alex Hulteen partnered with Quentin “Q” Varner for a 6-1, 6-7 (5-7), 10-8 win. David Oviedo and Ulises Mendoza lost in a close 6-4, 6-2 match at 1 doubles, and Tyler Suppes and Keegan Burke were defeated, 6-2, 6-1. On Thursday, Hotchkiss blanked Cedaredge, 7-0. It was the second time for the two teams to meet this season, and the second time for Hotchkiss to sweep the match. Cedaredge is

a young team with a new head coach. “Cedaredge played really well this time around,” said Hotchkiss head coach Brian Benson, “and some of the matches were way closer than the score would indicate.” This week’s wins bring the Bulldogs’ record to 43. Cedaredge and Hotchkiss will compete this Friday and Saturday at the annual Delta County Invitational tournament. Grand Junction JV, Fruita Monument JV, Montrose, MontezumaCortez and Grand Junction Central will also compete. Matches begin both days at approximately 8:30 a.m., at Cleland Park (1, 2 and 3 singles and 1 doubles) and at Bill Heddles Recreation Center (2, 3 and 4 doubles).

Young Bruins’ tennis team playing better BY TAMIE MECK DCI Sports Writer

When Derrick Griffiths was offered a job at Cedaredge High School, there was one catch. “In order to accept the teaching position, they said I have to coach tennis as well,” said Griffiths, who began teaching art at CHS in August. “I said all right. I’ve always wanted to coach whatever, but I’ve never coached tennis.” Griffiths, a first-year teacher and graduate of Colorado Mesa University, is the first new head tennis coach in more than 30 years and takes over the boys’ team from Don McFadden, who retired last spring after more than three decades of coaching. McFadden is expected to return this spring to coach the girls’ team. Griffiths, who also teaches a physical education class, hasn’t ever played tennis, but spent this summer preparing for his new job, which included a lot of time on the on-line tutorial capital of YouTube. The job comes with some challenges. For one, Cedaredge has only seven players, so each match opens with forfeits at three and four doubles. Only three players have experience. Junior Austin Bowen is playing

No. 1 singles, and Ryan Bowen, a sophomore and Austin’s brother, plays at 2 singles after playing at 1 doubles his freshman year. “They’ve helped me a lot,” said Griffiths. “They’ve stepped up into that leadership role and to help me coach.” Peter Plonka, a senior exchange student from Poland, is the third singles player. Plonka played for eight years, then took time off after breaking his arm. Landen Eckhart and Arie Wick are both playing their first season ever and partnered at No. 1 doubles. Garrett Peterson and Chris Runnels are playing at 2 doubles. Runnels, a new student at Cedaredge, said he came out because the team needed players and is enjoying the sport. They’ve had some tough matches, said Griffiths. “Montrose really beat us up,” he said. And they’ve lost both matches against Hotchkiss, although last Thursday’s matches were much closer than their previous meeting on Sept. 6. Hotchkiss coach Brian Benson commended the players on their improvement. Griffiths credited strong work ethics for his team’s improvement and all-around good attitude.

“From day one there’s been so much improvement in how they’re playing,” said Griffiths. “These guys, they like to play no matter what. I think they’re having fun.” Griffiths said he learned early on that in Colorado there are only two classes — 4A and 5A. With just over 260 students, Cedaredge is one of the smallest schools on the Western Slope that has a team. “I figured we would be a small team in a tough league.” Still, he said, the team has as much fun playing against the bigger schools as it does the small schools. Coach McFadden has also helped with practices and traveled to Grand Junction meets with the team. That saves Griffiths from having to return with the team to Cedaredge, since he commutes from Palisade. The season — at six weeks the shortest of all fall sports — is going by fast, said Griffiths. The team will compete this Friday and Saturday at the annual Delta tournament. Coach McFadden coordinated the tournament for several years, but Griffiths thankfully won’t be strapped with that task, which was handed off to Hotchkiss coach Brian Benson.

FROM THE PAST COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY 251 Meeker St., Delta • 874-8721 September 20, 1912 (From the Delta Independent) Right in the busiest of busy shipping seasons for the orchards of the North Fork, a weak bridge across a deep ravine near Lazear, on the branch, gave way Monday afternoon and allowed seven cars loaded with coal to go to the bottom, seventy feet or more. An Independent reporter was at the scene of the wreck Tuesday afternoon and could easily determine that it was equal to any occurring in this section of the state for some time. The heavily loaded cars were reduced to a veritable scrap heap and the wrecking crew was there to get the debris out as quickly as possible in order that the long bridge might be put in at least temporary repair so the traffic on that line might not be delayed for long, where the big fruit harvest of the entire North Fork district is on and hundreds of cars must go out loaded each day and empties come in as fast as needed. The bridge is fully 150 feet long and one-third of the end this way went down with the wreck. Aside from the wrecked bridge considerable track was torn

up. The escape of the train crew from death or injury is regarded as marvelously fortunate. Passengers from Paonia and Hotchkiss have been transferred at the scene of the wreck. *** On Tuesday of next week the citizens of Delta will be expected to vote upon the adoption or rejection of the proposed city charter. This plan of city government was framed by a committee of twentyone, and has been published for the last two weeks in the Independent. It is published again this week for the third and last time. Read the city charter and if you believe it offers the relief sought, go to the polls Tuesday and vote for it. If you conclude to the contrary, you have the privilege of voting against its adoption. *** Hotchkiss is using some twelve to fifteen head of cattle every week for home consumption. Paonia will be using at least twenty-five head during the fruit season and other places in proportion, so it will be seen that the fruit harvest makes a considerable drain on our livestock. *** The work of excavating for the foundation of the Cedaredge State bank building was started Tuesday. The structure will be 25x65 feet and two stories high. The upper floor will be used for lodge purposes. *** It was reported yesterday morning that the wrecked bridge. Two miles above Payne’s siding, was temporarily repaired so that trains can get through to all North Fork points. *** The sugar factory at Grand Junction at the close of last week reported that it had already manufactured 5,000 sacks of sugar. This has mostly been made from Delta beets.

*** A large number of Delta people are planning on attending the county fair at Montrose today, going to that point in automobiles. At least twenty machines will make the trip and bear a boosting banner for this city and county. *** A hundred and forty-seven peach pickers came in Tuesday from the Grand valley and other points of the state and were distributed around among orchardists of the county. *** The new Jeffers building in Delta, just south of Geo. C. Wilson’s harness store is now about completed and ready for the installation of the playhouse equipment. *** Sugar beets and potatoes are being shipped. Elberta peaches are a rush, grain is being threshed, the third cutting of alfalfa is ready, the last of the melon and vegetable crops is being hauled and the 2,500 carloads of apples will soon be to take care of. The foregoing are just a few pointers on the busy conditions of Delta county. *** Peach prices have not been so bad and, as the rush of shipments of peaches from the southern orchards as well as from the lower valleys of this slope is over. It looks favorable for the balance of the Elberta crop. Thirty-five to forty cents a box is certainly not a high price, still it is one at which the orchards reap a fair profit. *** The Delta county fair, which was closed at Delta last Friday, was one of the most successful ever held in the county. The weather was ideal and did not change until Saturday, the day after the fair closed. ***

The striking, six-inch diameter flower displayed by this six-foot-high variety of Teddy Bear Sunflower finds itself right at home in the city’s pocket sunflower park on Meeker Street. The blossoms are a subject of local photographers whenever they appear, and they are among the huge variety of flowering plants just like the ones in the City of Delta’s summer floral gardens that local gardeners can grow at home.

BY HANK LOHMEYER Staff Writer

elta residents’ summertime pride and joy is the citywide display of flora exuberance along Main Street, in the city parks and at the Bill Heddles Recreation Center. The street corner flower pots overflowing with cascades of sweet potato vine; the rank and file of brilliantly blooming hibiscus and zinnia; the carefully groomed carpets of petunia; and the soaring extremes of richly foliated canna draw admiring compliments from residents and visitors for the masterfully groomed displays and exotic eye appeal. And though Delta’s annual public displays of floral fantasy impress the eye and spirit, and justifiably so, they are not the products of secret horticultural magic worked on rare breeds of specialized plants from far away that a lot of people imagine they are – not at all. In fact, Delta’s beloved floral displays are the product first of a decision to make the financial investment. The basic effort of planting and tending the displays combines focused dedication with everyday techniques that are well known to gardeners everywhere. And all the knowledge and devotion that the city’s staff of three floral gardeners bring to their work is applied to the same bulbs and bedding stock that anyone can find at their favorite local nursery here. The city’s stunning flower displays are something that local gardeners can have in their own home gardens, too. In fact, the city’s parks and recreation department is careful to make sure its bid list for the next year’s bedding stock includes only plants that can be supplied by local area nurseries, and all of the materials

The list of flowering plants being ordered for next year’s display is already in the hands of nurserymen preparing their bids. The list includes a lot of very familiar names that even a novice gardener will know. In addition to bulb plants and perennials like canna, dahlia, and hibiscus, the city’s beds and pots will display other flowering plants next year including alyssum, supertunia petunia, easy wave petunia, wave series petunia, shock wave series petunia, trailing petunia, grandiflora petunia, thumbergia, zinnia/ double zahara series, zinnia/ benarys giant series, impatiens, coleus, guara hybrid stratosphere, sweet potato

vine, and hibiscus. They come in dozens of different colors and styles. From March each year when the stock arrives until Mother’s Day weekend when planting begins, the city’s parks and rec department shop garage is converted into a nursery warehouse holding thousands of the young plants until the weather warms. The flowers that will appear in the city’s flower displays are planned each year by the gardeners who will plant and tend them. The gardeners are Cindy Valdez, a city employee for 12 years who works on the Main Street displays and the Meeker Street parks; Veronica Pacheco, with the city since 2004, who tends

Delta’s Main Street flower beds come alive each summer with zahara zinnias, hibiscus, canna, alyssum and other varieties, all available to local home gardeners from area nurseries. the city parks displays; and Lori Tembriza, a second year employee who works at Bill Heddles Rec Center and in addition to her other duties takes care of the floral displays there. Dedication and attention to detail are the true secrets to creating the city’s vivid flower gardens. Getting to know each variety, and even each individual plant comes naturally with time. Flowers are sensitive to every change of temperature, every light variation, and every humidity and water condition their environment brings. Learning

to respond to what the plant is experiencing is part of the joy in their art that gardeners experience. There is a learning process involved, and the first try isn’t going to produce the same results as the magazine cover that inspired a first effort. Home gardeners have total creative freedom that many of them don’t take full advantage of when they get too wrapped up in following complex instructions and advice. Trial and error is the best teacher and a little persistence leads to amazing success.

Sweet potato vines provide a pleasing cascade effect for the large display pots along Main Street.
