Two county projects earn GOCO grants

By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

Delta County businessman Vern McCracken has announced that he is a candidate for the District 1 county commissioner seat. District 1 has been represented for the past seven years by McCracken’s wife, Jan, who is term-limited and cannot run for the office again in November. No other Republican candidates have expressed an interest in running, which is one of the reasons why McCracken decided to step up now. He said he wants to try and help ensure that Delta County government stays on its present path. McCracken explained that he believes Delta County government has consistently gotten it right on the most important issues. Those issues in his view are fiscal responsibility and a consensus approach to solving problems with a county-wide perspective. “We have really been blessed in Delta County with a county commission that is fiscally responsible and has kept us in the black,” McCracken said. “And, I’ve had the opportunity See McCracken, Page 3A

A late start to a snowy day While the school day started as normally scheduled in Paonia, Hotchkiss and Crawford, heavy snowfall prompted a two-hour delay for students in the Delta-Cedaredge areas Tuesday, Dec. 8. “We tried to give the road crews time to clear and sand the roads,” said community relations director John Jones. Middle school sports events were canceled Tuesday night, while high school activities were evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Away games at schools which were closed for the day will be rescheduled. Jones said notification was made through Grand Junction television stations and the school district’s website, www.deltaschools.com. Traditionally, the district has relied on radio stations to broadcast closures and delays, but Jones said many play syndicated shows early in the morning and are not manned by live disc jockeys. Parents always have the option of keeping their students home, Jones added, and that appeared to be the case in Delta schools where attendance was down significantly. Students can make up their work for full credit. Above, Dan Cholas clears the sidewalk in front of Garnet Mesa Elementary School.

The Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) board has awarded a total of $323,528 in Lottery funds to two projects in Delta County — $200,000 to Delta County for the expansion of the county fairgrounds, and $123,528 to the Town of Orchard City for the construction of a picnic pavilion at its town park. With the help of its latest GOCO/Lottery grant, Delta County will purchase a 19-acre parcel that adjoins the Delta County Fairgrounds’ east boundary. Expansion of the fairgrounds will result in new uses and enhance current ones, while also providing public access to roughly 1⁄4 mile of the North Fork of the Gunnison River for fishing and environmental education opportunities. The Town of Orchard City will use its GOCO grant award towards the construction of a pavilion in its town park, which will hold 20 picnic tables and four barbecue grills, pathways, landscaping, irrigation and a parking lot. The pavilion will significantly increase the community’s outdoor recreational options, currently limited to those afforded by the town’s Field of Dreams Park and Sports Facility —another GOCO-funded project. Statewide, the GOCO Board awarded $4.49 million for 44 projects. GOCO received a total of 92 applications requesting $8.17 million. Great Outdoors Colorado is the result of a citizens’ initiative passed by Colorado voters in 1992. GOCO receives approximately $54 million annually from Lottery proceeds, and directs those funds to projects that protect and enhance Colorado’s parks, wildlife, trails, rivers and open space. Since 1994, projects in Delta County have been awarded more than $5.3 million in GOCO grants.

Guilty or innocent? The answer to that question now lies with the 12 jurors who have patiently listened to the testimony in the case of Miriam Helmick since mid-November. Helmick is charged with the murder of her husband, Alan Helmick, a longtime Delta resident, in June 2008. In addition to first degree murder, she faces charges of attempted first degree murder and 11 counts of forgery. The jury will consider each count separately, and could opt for lesser included offenses, such as false reporting. That is the only charge Helmick is guilty of, defense attorney Steve Colvin told the jury in closing arguments Monday, Dec. 7. That charge arises from the threatening card Helmick addressed to herself — a foolish attempt, Colvin said, to get investigators to take her fears seriously. Helmick was suspicious of a white truck in the area, but the police never followed up on the possibility of other suspects. A similar report by a neighbor was also discounted — because it didn’t point to Helmick’s guilt, the defense said. Outside the courtroom, Miriam Helmick never had the presumption of innocence, Colvin stressed. Any evidence that pointed elsewhere was discounted; theories that did not match law enforcement’s preconcep-

tions were disregarded. “The prosecution has given as much weight to minor things as major things,” Colvin said. Miriam didn’t cry enough ... she waited several days to clean up Alan’s blood from the floor ... she wore a black dress for her wedding to Alan in June 2006 ... she says ‘I love you’ too many times in voice mails left on Alan’s cell phone the morning of the murder. “Here your decision is based upon the principles of law, beginning with the presumption of innocence,” Colvin said. He cited the lack of evidence in the case as the basis for reasonable doubt. The prosecution’s theory about the murder weapon, which has never been located, entails “an amazing amount of speculation.” Gunshot residue was not found on her clothes, but a spot on her shoe could easily have been picked up as she knelt by her husband’s side. Footprints left on the home’s wooden floor were never fully identified — because the police believed they had found their suspect, and of course Miriam’s footprints would be in the house. During the trial, an FBI agent testified that the burglary appeared to be staged. Even if that were the case, Colvin said, that doesn’t mean Miriam Helmick did the staging. It’s no wonder law enforcement focused on Miriam early in the inves-

tiation, he added. Alan’s family and friends never liked Miriam. They all “lined up” to say she must have had something to do with his murder; she must have been poisoning him earlier in the spring. But the forensic pathologist testified there were no signs of poison in Alan’s body, and there was just no motive for her to commit the crime, Colvin said. Alan Helmick fully understood the extent of his financial problems, and there’s no evidence that Miriam didn’t have permission to write checks to transfer funds from one account to another. Although the prosecution maintains the forged checks total about $40,000, only two were cashed; the remainder were moved from one of Alan’s accounts to another. The prenuptial agreement amounted to nothing, because the couple’s two businesses were “in the toilet.” A $250,000 insurance policy was “in the works.” Miriam never attempted to collect any money from Alan’s estate. “None of this suggests she would have benefited from Alan’s death,” Colvin said. But assistant district attorney Rich Tuttle maintains Miriam Helmick did benefit from Alan’s death, by receiving life insurance benefits of $25,000. That may not seem a strong motive for murder, but he urged the

jurors to consider how Miriam Helmick had arrived in town three years earlier “virtually penniless,” with just a suitcase, two dogs and about $600 to her name. As in the opening arguments, the prosecution presented a timeline which began with the unexpected death of Sharon Helmick in December 2003. Alan Helmick was devastated by the sudden death of the woman he’d been married to for over 30 years. A year later he met Miriam Giles; within a month she’d moved in with him. By the time they were married in June 2006, Alan had invested heavily in a dance studio and a horse operation — two ventures which were “bleeding him dry.” He’d also purchased a beautiful home on a 40-acre tract in Whitewater. During the trial, an IRS agent presented tax returns which showed Alan’s income dropping proportionately to the tens of thousands of dollars he invested in Miriam’s “passions.” “The gravy train that Alan Helmick had provided for the defendant had come to an end,” Tuttle said. Although Helmick testified she had nothing to do with Alan’s finances, check stubs from forged checks were found in her purse. The prosecutor said that’s evidence that she was trying to cover up the fact that checks were missing. Furthermore, if See Miriam Helmick, Page 3A

A salute to the Delta Panthers Dear Editor: I have never felt so compelled to write to you as now, with a salute to our Delta Panthers football team. I am so proud to have watched these kids over the years from flag football nine to 10 years ago till now ... and I’m mostly talking about the “core group” as I call them that have played together ... mostly seniors but not all, that I remember off the top of my head and most will

be moving on after this season — Gene White, Austin Watson, Ethan Kraai, Garrett Pope, Robert Simpson, Michael Rosenthal, Nolan Britain, David Prosser, Ernie Baier, Garren Atchley, Chris Velasquez, Matt Anderson, Duncan Simmons, Dakota Lindsey, Tanner Dunnam, Phillip Decker and Chad Cromwell all of whom are already stars in many of us parents’ eyes. Don’t doubt, keep your head high, you have inspired us par-

Hats off to the Panthers Dear Editor: The whole Patton family would like to thank Wayne Crick for his write-up on our son Michael after the game against Pueblo. The whole team is a great group of kids and fought and played hard this season. We also think that the game would have been different had Michael not been injured, however we believe his injury may

not have been an accident. Now our son needs ACL replacement and has a blown MCL at the very least. If that’s true, it’s too bad football for some teams has come down to that kind of play to win. Thank you again very much and hopefully he can come back next season. The Patton family Delta

ents and the team next year that will follow you. Football is held in such high esteem because it mirrors life so much more than other sports. When it’s raining or snowing, you just keep going (like three weekends ago), when your hurt or sick, you still have to kick ____, and when you come up short, no way can you “abort.” You have to move on and fight the good fight, a new day and a new beginning. I/we believe you could have gone all the way. But there is no turning back, only forward. These guys have set “the new standard” in the Delta football program and hopefully our new coach and the witnessing players will be here to keep their spirit alive. I think I speak for all the parents, the high school and the City of Delta. If I left any players out I’m sorry but you know who you are! We love you, God bless you and remember — Panthers RULE!

Our ‘ship’ is in danger of running aground Dear Editor: I woke up this morning to the thought of our “illustrious” leaders passing a massive health care bill that will end all problems in our health care, according to their opinions. Over 1,900 pages in this bill that not even one person read or had the time to read before it was passed. I have often heard our government referred to as the “ship of state.” I find myself on this ship but those in control are against everything that I feel is right and constitutional. We are being guided on this ship by a captain who has never been on a ship in his life, has offered no credentials to hold such a position, continually refuses to supply any, and even fights an attempt to make him produce these credentials. He is aided by a crew that is drunk with power and has no concern about how to run this ship, even if they have the experience. Every day, they are opening more “drain” holes, allowing more water in, all the while saying that this is the only way to save the ship and its passengers from sinking. They go through the process of bill-passing with the enthusiasm of children on the first day of spring, running through the fields hand in hand with no concept or cares of what the consequences of their actions will bring. They pass this bill touting all the benefits it will produce,

but don’t have enough confidence in it to also put themselves on this plan that will supposedly save our health care. The old saying, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” does not apply to our elected leaders. They are using the old adage of, “Don’t do as I do, do as I say.” Even with millions of people protesting, they tell us that they know what is good for us better than we do. They have violated our Constitution from the inception of this administration and continue to violate it every day that they are in office. They head down the road to destruction, “willie, nillie,” with no plan for anything, except the need to get re-elected for which they will do anything, say anything or try anything. The wishes of the passengers on this ship are brushed aside as so much garbage that does not even deserve the time to listen to it because the “passengers” don’t know anything, even though the “passengers” on this ship are the ones having the authority to tell the captain and crew what they should and should not be doing. According to our Constitution, even one single “passenger” has “standing” to bring suit against this man. However, our “elected” leaders have thrown out the Constitution (the instructions for running this “ship of state”), and have decided they know what’s best, constantly and consistently violating our Constitution with

seemingly little regard for it or the implications that their actions will produce. This “ship of state” has become a pirate ship that is hellbent on taking everything they can get away with from the “passengers” of this ship and instilling their own ideas, good or bad, on the passengers, whether they want them or not. This is not the way this “ship of state” was set up. They are bound and determined to wreck this ship on the rocks of disaster and that this ship was meant to be. I have never, in my 68 years in this great nation, seen so callous and blatant a disregard for laws and regulations as I am seeing now. I recall a great statesman who stated, “Give me liberty or give me death.” I am a patriot, an American’s American, my bloodlines from the original patriots who fought for the development of this great nation. This is my country and I will fight for it. Roy Selby Delta

Obama didn’t inherit anything he didn’t want Dear Editor: The Democrats and President Obama and his administration have been repeating over and over, every time they can get in front of a camera, that they “inherited” this economy, they inherited this war! But I remember sometime back, in a campaign in which he was running, which ran for how many years? He was begging people to vote for him — beseeching them! Ple-e-ease vote for me! He didn’t inherit it — he fought for it and he won it and what he does with it, is going down on his watch and his record! Mrs. Lloyal Anderson Delta

Help ensure natural gas development is done right Dear Editor: It has been about nine years since Delta County found itself to be a target of drilling for natural gas from the tight sandstones and coal beds that underlie the south slope of the Grand Mesa. A lot has happened in that time. The industry’s area of interest has shifted from the Surface Creek area more and more to the North Fork and into Gunnison County. The Western Slope Environmental Resource Council (WSERC) established and maintains a committee of volunteers, creatively called the “Gas Committee” to try to keep informed and involved in these developments. With our partners in environmental protection we have had some wins, losses, and disappointments. A major win with disappointments can be found in the rules promulgated in the last couple of years by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). The restructuring of the COGCC to give public health and wildlife seats at the table as part of the new commission make-up was a win. After testimony given in Denver and Grand Junction some improvements in what is required of the industry were achieved. The rule making process was long and discouraging and some of the advances in environmental protection were lost in subsequent amendments under the pressure of extreme

lobbying by the industry. If you want to review these rules go to their website at http://cogcc. state.co.us from the home page look for amended rules particularly those in the 600 and 900 series. The recent showings of the film “Split Estate” has sparked a renewed interest on the part of Delta County residents. This is WONDERFUL! Now comes the question of how to harness the creativity and energy of the folks who have so rightfully become concerned. 1. Of national concern is the fact that the hydraulic fracturing used in the industry is still exempt from Clean Drinking Water Act. If we have nothing to fear from this activity, why does the industry need this exemption? What to do? WRITE your senators, your congressman, and get all of your friends and acquaintances across the country to request that this exemption be removed. 2. The amended COGCC rules STILL do not require adequate setbacks from residences (currently at 150 feet). The rules appear to focus on safety from fire or collapse of a well rig with little consideration for the noise and emissions that intrude upon residents’ rightful expectation for a safe and serene domicile. The amended rules do call for increased setbacks (350 feet) in

areas of “high density,” i.e. more than one residence per two acres as well as schools etc. If the industry has done so well with advanced drilling technologies why not a minimum of 500 feet? Write the commission, governor, and your state representatives about this. 3. The amended rules include a special section on water well testing in areas where gas is being extracted from coal beds (coal bed methane). The testing procedures do make some sense but in reality should be extended to any well in which “stimulation” methods are used. In essence this would include any well in which hydraulic fracturing is used in the drilling and throughout the producing life of the well. ... and there is more, much more. In writing this it has dawned on me that I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the natural gas industry. Thanks to TEDX and others the learning continues. There is so much more that needs to be discovered and responded to. Contact me (lor2mol@aol.com) if you have concrete suggestions as to how we can further proceed in assuring that natural gas development is “done right.” Loretta Molitor Co-chair Gas Committee WSERC

Ethical shortcomings mark Obama’s administration Dear Editor: A short time ago we celebrated Halloween with all the scary witches, ghosts and goblins. Now when you look at the Obama Administration with all the radicals and unethical personnel he has implemented to serve with him you must wonder if we won’t have Halloween every day for the next three years at least. Let me list just a few and see if you will be as scared as I am as to where they might take us. Safe schools czar Kevin Jennings failed to oppose homosexual man-boy relationships and who also believes that sexual orientation lessons should begin in kindergarten. Science czar John Holdren has written, without objection, that laws requiring compulsory abortion could be sustained under the existing Constitution. Tom Daschle had to withdraw because of a failure to pay his taxes ($140,000 taxes and interest). He was Mr. Obama’s first nominee for secretary for Health and Human Services. The Senate eventually confirmed the president’s subsequent nominee to head HHS, Kathleen Sebelius, but only after she corrected three years of tax returns and paid $7,000 in back taxes for “unintentional errors.” Treasury secretary Timothy F. Geithner was confirmed only after extended questioning about irregularities in his tax records that surfaced during the nomination process. He is now trying to lead the U.S. economy out of its doldrums with — figuatively — one arm tied behind his back. When Obama’s administration is manned by so many radicals with ethical shortcomings, I think it’s time to broadcast the dishonor roll so I’ll list a few more. Van Jones. The president brought him into the White House to be the green jobs czar. Unfortunately, Mr. Jones has a radical left resume that includes support for the convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. He was forced to resign when the folks found out how far out there the man really is. Carol Browner. Obama appointed her as director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy. Formerly, Ms. Browner was a leader in the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, a group that calls for “global governance.” It is an arm of Socialist Interna-

tional organization. Harold Koh. Mr. Koh is an advocate of the dangerous notion of “transnationalism,” which would elevate foreign law above the U.S. Constitution. He was barely approved to be the chief legal counsel for the State Department and has endorsed a “global regulatory” regime to outlaw firearms. Ezekiel Emanuel. This key White House advisor on health policy has written that “allocation [of medical care] by age is not discrimination” and that “services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic, and should not be guaranteed.” Louis Butler. This new nominee for a federal district judgeship in Wisconsin is a proponent of the theory that manufacturers should be forced to pay damage awards in lawsuits even if there is no evidence that their products made anybody sick. This list could go on and on for as we all know, in the beginning, there was the Rev. Jeremiah

Wright, a fire-breathing Chicago preacher who believes America is a bad place. Obama was a friend and member of his church for 20 years. Is it any wonder Obama and these radical ideas are part of his very being? Radical Catholic priest Michael Pfleger was also part of the Obama neighborhood gang. This is the guy who mocked Hillary Clinton, portraying her was a white woman of entitlement. And of course we can’t forget Bill Ayers, an acquaintance of Obama’s in Chicago and whose kids attended the same school while Obama lived in Chicago. Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground, is unrepentant to this day about the group’s violent activities back in the 1960s. He is also a bosom buddy of the dictator Hugo Chavez. With a list like this, which is very minimal, I hope you can see why I feel we are going to have Halloween every day! Tony Fangman Delta

Kudos Dear Editor: I would like to put out a heartfelt thank you to all who contributed to the Hotchkiss Community Dinner Thanksgiving Day, especially Shauna Niday who baked the homemade bread and Zack’s BBQ which smoked all the turkeys.

an attempt was made on Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life while he was in Delta to close a business deal. A wick was inserted into the gas tank of his car, then lit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an idea the prosecution says Miriam picked up from watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Country For Old Menâ&#x20AC;? just four days earlier. The incident took place in broad day light, in an open parking area adjacent to Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not reasonable to think that anyone else had an opportunity to prepare the wick, then sneak up behind the car, while Alan was in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, to insert and light the wick. It was Miriam who asked Alan to pop the trunk, just above the gas tank, then went into the building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because she expected the car to explode like it did in the movie. While both Helmicks were questioned by the Delta Police Department, the prosecutor said the incident was not seriously considered as an attempt on Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life until his June 2008 murder. At that point, Miriam Helmick realizes the Mesa County investigators are taking the incident far more seriously. The prosecutor would have you believe Delta is soft on crime, Colvin told the jurors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I submit there was no motive, no evidence, no witnesses [to the Delta car fire]. The charge is only filed now as corroboration for the murder charge.â&#x20AC;? As for testimony about Helmickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions in Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Internet dating, the use of Sharon Helmickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity, and the pawning of a necklace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those have no value whatsoever for the underlying charges, Colvin said. That testimony had nothing to do with a possible motive or plan; its only purpose was to suggest Miriam is different, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad person.â&#x20AC;? That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean she is a murderer, he said, as he asked the jury to acquit her of all charges except false reporting.

fellow county republicans, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What great (Republican) candidates we have (running for office). A lot of people think this is going to be an exciting time. The economy and the things that are happening at the federal level are a total disaster for this country. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you that if we become united, and this grass roots gets excited about it, we can cause a lot of changes next fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest thing this county has done in the last 40 or 50 years that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived here is they have kept (finances) in the black. We have kept this county under control financially, and I believe we need to continue to do that.

His emblem is the American flag. “I have followed this emblem through two wars because of what it represents — freedom, commitment and valor.” He chose the rose as his flower because, “One can not look at a rose and not see the beauty of God’s handiwork.” He concluded, “I am not a politican so I make no promises.

LOCAL DOLL COLLECTOR DOVIE Story and Ritta Schlappe, president of the Friends of the Delta Public Library, are pictured with Baby Sophie, a porcelain doll dressed in pioneer clothing.

Porcelain doll to be raffled for library Dovie Story, a local doll collector, has donated “Baby Sophie,” an all porcelain doll, to the Friends of the Delta Public Library. The body was handcrafted by Thelma Steel. Story assembled the doll and with her sewing and crocheting skills dressed the doll in early pioneer clothing, giving tribute to pioneer children from every land who helped make our country what it is. The Friends of the Delta Public Library believe children of today are just as important. They can find new and better ways of doing things. They, too, can be pioneers. Friends of the Delta Library invite everyone to visit the library and view Baby Sophie. Tickets for a chance to win this lovely handcrafted collectible doll can be purchased at the library for

$1 per ticket or six tickets for $5. The winning ticket will be drawn Jan. 29. All proceeds benefit the Delta Public Library.

Gale Conger jokes that he can’t seem to do his job to the satisfaction of his IOOF brothers and sisters. “The proof of this is how they keep throwing me back to redo a job that I thought I had already done,” he said. Conger was elected grand patriarch for the Grand Encampment of Colorado for a second time. He has served as noble grand in the local lodge five times, chief patriarch three times, district deputy grand master more time than he cares to count, district president 10 times, district encampment scribe 10 years, scribe for Western Slope #39 four times, and secretary of Delta #116 for 14 years. In addition, he’s seen family members ascend the ranks. Wife Jessie has been grandmatrich, son Gene was grand ruler of the Colorado/Wyoming Grand Junior Lodge, and son Glen is the high grand priest of the Grand Encampment of Colorado. Daughters Cindy and Linda are active in Theta Rho. “But the one that tops them all took place the night I witnessed three granddaughters, one grandson and a daughter-in-law join the Odd Fellows,” he said.

Dispatcher aids in terrorism fight By Hank Lohmeyer Staff Writer

A Delta County dispatcher has received a commendation from the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center for her professional work during a domestic violence incident last January. Joyce Paul’s work during that incident enabled the Terrorist Screening Center to make a positive match on a known or suspected terrorist.

Sheriff Fred McKee said local departments like Delta County’s are rarely if ever notified by the FBI on the outcome of such incidents. However, Paul’s alertness and professionalism allowed the federal law enforcement authorities to advance their work keeping America safe from terrorist activity, McKee noted. In a statement, McKee said, “In September of this year, I received a letter from the Terror-

DELTA COUNTY DISPATCHER JOYCE Paul displays a commendation award she was honored with for work which led to the identification of a known or suspected terrorist in Delta County earlier this year. Pictured with Paul during presentation of the commendation award at the BoCC meeting on Monday are Karlene Sollenbarger, dispatch center supervisor, County Commissioner Bruce Hovde, and Sheriff Fred McKee.

ist Screening Center commending Dispatcher Joyce Paul for her “professional handling of a national security matter during a domestic violence dispute” earlier this year. They advised that ‘during the course of investigation, dispatcher Paul followed the appropriate protocol which determined that the encountered individual was a positive match to a known or suspected terrorist on the TSC watch list. Through investigative efforts, dispatcher Paul was able to collect intelligence that may prove to be of great value to the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as the intelligence community.’ “The author of the letter representing Terrorist Screening Center stated his appreciation for dispatcher Paul’s leadership and thanked the sheriff’s office and Delta Dispatch Center for their dedication to protecting our nation. “It is with sincere appreciation that we acknowledge dispatcher Paul by commending her for her leadership and dedication to her duties as a dispatcher for Delta County. “I am confident that the other skilled and dedicated dispatchers working in our Delta Dispatch Center would have responded equally as well.” According to the FBI, the Terrorist Screening Center’s mission is to, “Maintain the U.S. government’s consolidated Terrorist Watch list — a single database

of identifying information about those known or reasonably suspected of being involved in terrorist activity. “By supporting the ability of front line screening agencies to positively identify known or suspected terrorists trying to obtain visas, enter the country, board aircraft, or engage in other activity, the consolidated Terrorist Watch list is one of the most effective counterterrorism tools for the U.S. government,” the FBI states. “The Terrorist Screening Center is leading significant improvements in counterterrorism information sharing among federal, state, local, and international agencies by distributing information about encounters with known or suspected terrorists reported to its 24/7 call center. “While undertaking these activities, TSC is also dedicated to ensuring the data it stores is maintained in a manner consistent with protecting the privacy and civil liberties of Americans,” explains the FBI.

HOROSCOPES ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there’s no option other than honesty when a friend seeks your advice. Although your words may hurt a little bit, they have to be said. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, stick to your guns when others try to sway your opinion. Standing resolute will prove that you are an individual of strong beliefs. Romantic endeavors are put on hold. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 There’s so much to do but the hours in the day seem shorter than ever, Gemini. The only way to clean off your plate is to delegate some of the work to others. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Inspiration comes from the strangest sources this week, Cancer. As such, don’t underestimate that anything in your path can’t spark a creative moment. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 There are plenty of ups and downs to sort through, Leo, but it’s the status quo that leaves you feeling a bit bored. Maybe a new friend can provide different perspective. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Start living like there’s no tomorrow, Virgo, and you’ll start to appreciate the little things that you may have glossed over before. New tasks leave you quite busy. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 We can’t all be rock stars, Libra, some of us have to be content working behind the scenes. This applies to your role at work. Don’t expect to always be in the spotlight. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It takes a while to reverse a perception of yourself, Scorpio. Others are fixated on that other persona that you have worked hard to change. Be patient; they’ll come around. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Marching to the beat of your own drum can often be inspirational But sometimes it’s not helpful for others to constantly see you going against the grain. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Bout after bout of feeling under the weather should be telling you something, Capricorn. It is time to take your health a bit more seriously and proactively. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you have to rest as much as you can because you’ll be called upon for a lot of trying tasks in the next few days. You may need to recuperate for a while. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Cabin fever has set in, Pisces, so find projects around the house that can keep you busy and your mind off of boredom.

but were held to just 39 against Eric Hollembeak’s Bruins. First-quarter scoring was all Paonia as the Lady Eagles put up 12 points while holding Cedaredge scoreless. Grayson Pipher had six of her gamehigh 15 points in the quarter for Paonia. Second quarter action saw the roles reversed, though not as profound in the scoring department, with Cedaredge outscoring the Lady Eagles 6-3. Pipher had three free throws in four attempts for Paonia while Jamie Deal, Amber Farr, and Jheri Gates had two points each for Cedaredge. The game’s tempo remained

low following halftime with Paonia adding to their lead with an 8-5 edge. Paonia was leading 23-11 entering the final period. A 16-5 surge by the Lady Eagles produced a final score of 39-16. Paonia shot 15 free throws in the final quarter and made eight of them. Gates’ five points topped Cedaredge shooters in the game. Paonia’s next game is with Plateau Valley on Thursday, Dec. 10, in Paonia. Varsity action is set for 5 and 6:30 p.m. A trip to Montrose is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 11, with those games starting at 6 and 7:30 p.m.

Bruins start season with 54-52 victory over Paonia By Brianna Henrie Cedaredge High School

On Saturday Dec. 5, the Cedaredge Bruins boy’s basketball team battled it out with the Paonia Eagles on the Bruins’ home turf. Cheers from the crowd filled the gym while the

game progressed. All of their hard work had been building and growing from the past few weeks of practice. They started out this season with two-a-day practices with coaches Wilkes and Dunbar. The boys had been working

Panther pride The Western Slope Spirit Competition was held at Mesa State College on Nov 21 and the Delta High School Cheer Team had a strong showing. This year was the first year they added a Game Time Division with three catagories to compete in — fight song, time out dance and side line cheer. According to coach Kristine Galvin, the team took first place in each of the three categories. Galvin explained that the cheerleaders can also compete in an individual category called Best Cheerleader. Eight girls from the 10 schools represented at the spirit competition answered the challenge. Rachelle Smallwood placed second, Angela Suazo and Jackie Gallegos tied for third and Stormy Olivas placed fourth. “Our team worked very hard during each practice on their routines as well as learned cheers for our upcoming basketball and wrestling seasons,” said Galvin. “Congratulations DHS Cheerleaders!!”

hard and building up all season for their first game and boy did it pay off. They seemed calm and prepared for the game as they entered onto the court. In better shape than the Paonia boys the Bruins beat them down the court in the third and fourth quarters. Running and extreme workout drills were major parts of these practices. The first day of practice the boys got a glimpse of the hard work that would bring them glory. Winning is like a math equation, you can add all of the hard work and effort but the outcome depends on the x factor. Saturday started off with a learning experience for the boy’s junior varsity team. Sadly they lost after a hard fought game by 35 points. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger as they say. Saturday ended with the Bruin varsity boys beating Paonia by the score of 54 to 51. The hard work and effort from the past few weeks really have shown through. Sophomore Danny Martinez commented, “We came out really strong and kept our composure throughout the game.” He also pointed out that last year most of the games they lost were very close games. However this time the table turned. Although it is early in the season the boys are already showing room for improvement. The future is looking bright for the Cedaredge bruin basketball team this year. The towering tandem of Cade Sweeney and Geordan Brewer tallied 41 of the Bruins’ 54 points. Sweeney accounted for 30 individally. Chaunce Lindley also had a good night with nine points. Burke Lowry and Jesse Barbich each added two points as well. The Bruins are in action Friday night, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. when they host Hotchkiss, and again on Saturday, when they host Roaring Fork. That game is slated to begin at 4 p.m.

PAONIA’S GRAYSON PIPHER (DARK jersey) waits for their play to be set with Cedaredge Bruins’ Jamie Deal (22) stepping up to defend her home court.

Cedaredge falls to Lady Eagles to open basketball season By Sidney Navarro Cedaredge High Shool

Anticipation set in as the starting line-up was announced. The court at Cedaredge High School buzzed with excited fans and players. The Paonia Eagles prepared for a rough match on Saturday, Dec. 5, against the Lady Bruins. During the first quarter, the Paonia Eagles quickly stepped ahead of the Bruins with a lead of 12-0. During the second quarter the Bruins stepped up their highly defensive performance, only allowing the Paonia Eagles three points. Cedaredge countered with six points, all within the last four minutes of the quarter. The score was 6-15 at half. The second half began with a jump in excitement as the Paonia Eagles began the “nothin’ but net” shots that lead to an exhilarating competition. The Eagles soon soared ahead

with a 23-11 standing over the Bruins at the end of the third quarter. The roars from the crowds excited the teams. Grayson Pipher was the top shooter for the Paonia Eagles with 15 points almost tying the Bruins’ total score. Johanna Reed came in second with eight points. With the clock ticking down the Paonia Eagles fired up the Bruins’ home court with an astounding command over the Bruins. With excitement filling the the visiting fans, the Lady Eagles soared to a 39-16 win. For the home team, Jheri Gates had five points for the Bruins. Unfortunately the team starts out the season with a loss. “The Eagles did a really great job out on the court. Their defense made us fight for a chance at scoring,” explains Jennifer Badding. The Bruins will face the

COMPILED FROM DELTA NEWSPAPERS By DELTA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY December 10, 1909 (From the Delta County Independent) It is now given out that responsible parties are ready to build and operate a beet sugar factory at Delta, provided the people here will subscribe for $200,000 of the capital stock. Taking it for granted that the parties back of the proposition are all that they are represented to be, honest in their offer and capable of supplying the balance of perhaps a million dollars – a sum which is represented as necessary to build and operate the factory – the proposition would not seem to be a very hard one. Knowing that the field now amply justifies a beet sugar factory at Delta, we would prefer to see parties who are able to work and build one. It would inspire confidence and a more ready support. That the matter of securing a beet sugar factory has been and is handicapped by the Western Land and sugar company, all are aware. In possession of the field up to date, that company no doubt desires to retain it but will not build a factory until the field is threatened by the invasion of another factory. Our people, however, do not feel disposed to induce parties to undertake the building of a factory here without a determination to stand by them. *** An exchange has the following exposure of a new fake: Beware of barbwire fiends who put the lightning rod sharks in the rear. He proposes to the farmer to put up an eight wire fence at eight cents per foot. This seems so cheap that the farmer usually signs the contract, and the bill comes in, which it is sure to do, when the deluded farmer finds he has agreed to payt eight cents for each wire. When the scheme works he has to surrender his farm in part payment, and give his note for the balance. Hence we say, beware. *** The vote for representative to the Apple Exposition as counted at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon was as follows: Eva Belle Conklin – 11,534, Genevieve Hartig – 10,829, Zetta Keifer – 4,931. A canvass of the votes will be made at the close of the campaign by three

Hotchkiss Bulldogs at home on Friday night, starting at 5:30 p.m., while the Paonia Eagles will compete against the Olathe Pirates in Paonia. On Saturday the Bruins will host Roaring Fork, beginning at 2:30 p.m.

judges, one to be selected by each of the candidates in the field. *** The annual ball of the Delta Firemen will be given at the Opera House Christmas night and will be one of the swell dances of the season. Everybody will attend the firemen’s ball, not alone to have the good time assured, but to pay their respects to the boys who protect the town and homes against fire. *** Billy Eggleston is now driving the Cedaredge passenger and mail stage. *** So far about 150 people from Delta county have signified their intention to go to Denver on the fine special train engaged to carry them. It will be a full Pullman train and will leave Delta about 7 o’clock Sunday evening, January 2nd, arriving in Denver Monday evening. There will be a stop of 30 minutes at Canon City and one of an hour in Pueblo. The fare for round trip will be $19.90. About ten days will be given for the trip. *** Two Christmas gifts for the price of one; send the Independent one year to a friend as gift number one, and present the 200 votes for Apple Queen to your favorite candidate as gift number two. A happy combination! *** Dr. C.D. Kinsley has opened his office in the Mathers building and will confine his practice to surgery. Dr. Kinsley has had long hospital and institute practice in New York and other eastern cities and will be equipped as well as qualified for expert practice. *** The issue of newspapers in Delta this week has been carried on under difficulties. There has been the usual rush of holiday work to be taken care of – and then some. Along with this came train wrecks galore, yesterday; result, no mails. Then, of course we are preparing for the double Christmas number which must be got out on time next week, and in the meantime people are rushing in so fast to pay subscriptions that it takes up all one’s time to write receipts. Just at this writing we can not think of any more excuses – but the Independent doesn’t usually need an apology, anyway. ***

‘Real’ horse power for small scale logging Story and photos by Bob Borchardt

B A C K P A G E

YELLOW

eter Miles is leaving his mark in the Grand Mesa National Forest, and the Forest Service is loving

it.

For some people, rapid advancements in technology, gas guzzling machinery and life in the “fast lane” just doesn’t cut it. They long for a simpler way of life. For Peter and his wife, Tamara, spending time with their seven children and 15 horses quenches that longing. The time they spend with their horses is not just for recreation, much of the time it’s work. The Mileses are horse loggers, and for them, it’s simply a matter of going “back to the future.” The Mileses are currently using a team of draft horses to log a small area of downed or dead “salvage” trees on the Grand Mesa, behind the old Grand Mesa Ranger Station. The area is near Skinned Horse Reservoir, and the logging operation was made possible through a USDA Forest Service timber management sale. According to Peter this particular timber sale was not big enough for the machine

PETER MILES WORKS HIS team — Donna and Buddy — among the trees on the Grand Mesa. Miles is demonstrating the “old fashioned” way of horse logging can be utilized for small scale logging on public lands with minimal environmental impacts. The light snow cover actually makes it easier for the horses to haul logs around, extending the time they can work in the forest.

loggers to bid on, paving the way for him. Christie LaDue, Forester for the Grand Valley Ranger District, said she couldn’t be more pleased with the way the area is being logged. According to LaDue, selective logging — using horses as a primary means of moving the timber — eliminates the heavy gas-operated machinery used in larger, more traditional logging operations. In contrast, horse logging provides a unique business opportunity for smaller operators, offering environmental benefits not possible by conventional methods. In days gone by, horses were an essential part of most logging operations, but today, heavy gas-powered machines do most of the work. According to Peter, the machines can do a lot of environmental damage. Peter is hoping to demonstrate there is a practical and viable alternative to logging with heavy machinery. “It was a novelty for the Forest Service,” smiled Peter. “No one at the Forest Service office can remember when the last time that horses were used to log timber, and they had no idea that a horse logger in this area would bid on a timber sale.” LaDue agreed, adding that there

hasn’t been a horse logging operation on the Grand Mesa for as long as she can remember. However, Kim Ralston, business manager for the Grand Valley Ranger District, does remember Willis Barnes horse logging on the Grand Mesa “back in the 1980s.” LaDue said, “The Miles’ horse logging operation is great. I’ve watched them work, they get the job done and the horses are amazing.” “It’s a lost practice,” she added, “but there’s definitely a place for horse logging. Horses don’t leave skid tracks, damage existing structures, damage any existing water or power lines, and have much lower environmental impact and, even with snow on the ground (if it doesn’t get too deep), horses can drag the logs out of the forest without leaving ruts.” LaDue said logging with horses solves many of the environmental

issues facing the Forest Service today. Peter agreed, adding that logging with horses solves many of the problems encountered in roadless areas by removing the trees that need to be removed with minimal damage to the environment. Peter has used horses for every task on his farm, and has been looking for some kind of a business venture that the family could do together. For the Mileses, logging with horses fulfills that dream. He said logging involves the whole family in a business that uses the horses in a productive manner; provides a livelihood for the family; and allows them to keep their horses. Tamara added, “The kids love it. We do it together, or we don’t do it at all.” Peter understands the value for fossil fueled machinery on a farm, or other major jobs like hauling the logs off the mountain. “It’s easier to fire up a tractor than round up horses,” he laughed. He is not advocating for the demise of traditional logging using fossil fueled machines, but he is an advocate for the return to “real” horsepower — be it horse, oxen or mule — when possible. The resurgence in the popularity and use of draft horses in logging operations back east is encouraging, and Peter sees opportunity in Colorado. So what is bringing this “old-fashioned” method of harvesting the forest back? There are many reasons, depending on the logging area’s accessibility, its proximity to roads and the overall lay of the land. It is economical; is considered to be “low impact” logging; causes little or no damage to standing timber, soil, flora and/or fauna; and most importantly, it is well suited for smaller timber sales. LaDue said she is so impressed by Peter’s personal work ethic and the success of the Mileses’ horse logging operation that the Forest Service plans on offering more smaller timber sales so that the Miles and other small operators have the opportunity to bid. For Peter and Tamara, it’s simply a way of life. Said Peter, “Just getting started was a struggle, and the money is not all that great. You have to love it, or you’re not going to do it.”

What does it mean to love God with all your heart? By Pastor Earl Douglas Maranatha Fellowship

He (Jesus) answering said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy

neighbor as thyself. Luke 10:27 What does it mean to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength? 1) The heart, being the seat of emotions, suggests that to love God with all our heart, we

Jewelry, craft sale benefits African projects African Team Ministries, an ecumenical group which supports the work of the church in east Africa (including Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda) has once again shipped lovely jewelry and crafts to St. Luke’s Church in Delta for sale. All the proceeds from the sale go to support projects such as AIDS education/prevention, resettlement of displaced people, literacy programs, orphanages and schools for children whose parents have died of AIDS,

not to mention simple irrigation projects and famine relief. A special showing of the crafts and jewelry will take place in Muller Hall at the church Saturday, Dec. 12, from 9 a.m. to noon and Sunday, Dec. 13, from noon to 1 p.m. The church is located at 145 W. 5th Street in Delta, directly across from Wells Fargo Bank. Everyone is encouraged to support this worthwhile cause while finding some great gifts.

would love Him not only with our actions, but with a devoted passion. We would consider nothing or no one to be more valuable. Nothing would satisfy us like

Kids’ play stresses the importance of sharing blessings Paonia Friends Church presents “Bows of Holly,” a kids’ Christmas musical about the importance of sharing the blessings we have received. The musical will be presented at the church at Third and Poplar Sunday, Dec. 13, at 6 p.m. Admission is a nonperishable food item for each person. Donations will go to the Paonia Friends Church food bank.

communication with our heavenly Lover. 2) Loving God with all our soul is to love God with our very life. To love him like that means that our lives belong to Him. We would be willing to lay down our lives for Him. Wherever or what-

ever He would call us to do, we would be ready to go and willing to do. 3) Loving God with all our mind is to have an insatiable hunger to “know” Him intimately. His Word would draw us again and again because it reveals His

nature and His truth. We would not be satisfied with secondhand information about Him. 4) To love God with all our strength means that our physical bodies are at His disposal, to be used to serve Him and his Eternal purposes.

Redeemer Lutheran Church will stage outdoor live nativity Highlighting this year’s celebration of Christmas at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Delta will again be the free public presentation of an outdoor live nativity depicting the birth of Christ. The live nativity will be presented Saturday, Dec. 12, on the lawn of Redeemer Lutheran Church, located at 1000 Pioneer Road, between the hours of 6

and 8 p.m., with performances given every 30 minutes. Biblical characters will be portrayed by church members and its youth. The story of Christ’s birth as told in the book of Luke, will be spoken by Pastor Jeffrey Ryan as each scene unfolds. Between performances, visitors are invited to warm up with a free will offering chili supper,

cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate inside Redeemer’s fellowship hall. All funds collected in the free will offering and a Christmas cookie sale ongoing in the fellowship hall that evening will benefit the Tiny Treasures Preschool. Prior to the Live Nativity performances the Tiny Treasures preschoolers will present a brief Christmas Program at 5:30 p.m.
