Joe Rayfield has paid a hefty price for alcoholism. “I’m a recovering alcoholic,” he said. “And I’m a grateful one because I’m still alive.” The 47-year-old Hot Sulphur Springs resident suffered an alcoholinduced heart attack and stroke in 1998 and was paralyzed from the neck down for longer than a year. Following 12 years of sobriety and having sponsored 25 others who faced similar struggles, Rayfield then “made a bad choice in my life,” he said: He relapsed.
Saturday, July 23 • O’Jays: The faces in this legendary band may have changed, but the smooth, soul sounds stay strong to this group’s roots, which date back to the 1960s. The O’Jays originally formed in Canton, Ohio, where all five original members attended high school together. Today, the trio of the O’Jays is known for its classic soul songs. • Najee: A native New Yorker and a revolutionary of urban contemporary jazz, Najee began his career playing clarinet, saxophone and flute in his hometown of Queens, N.Y. Najee’s Grammy nominated, platinum selling debut album, “Najee’s Theme,” was followed by “Day By Day” which also achieved platinum status. “Tokyo Blue,” “Just an Illusion” and “Share My World” all attained gold status. • Alex Bugnon with special guest Nelson Rangell: Alex Bugnon, a two-time Soul Train Music Award winner, is a jazz pianist and composer from Switzerland. He studied at the Paris Conservatory and the Mozart Academy in Salzburg and started recording in 1989. His debut album, “Love Season” and his follow-up “Head Over Heels” reached the pop charts and the R&B Top 40. Joining Bugnon onstage in Winter Park is Nelson Rangell, a Denver-based saxophonist who emerged in the late 1980s. Critics say Rangell is one of the most
Less than three months in, Rayfield was charged with a DUI upon leaving a bar in Grand County. “It’s me that made the mistake,” he said. “Instead of picking up the phone, I picked up the bottle.” But a month before his DUI sentencing, the years of abuse again took a toll on Rayfield’s health. He suffered a mini-stroke while driving, wrecking his motor home in Byers Canyon. “I’ve spent more of my life trying to stay sober than I have drinking,” said Rayfield, who first turned to the bot-
tle at age 16. “But when I did drink it got me in trouble. Once I start drinking, I can’t stop. I’ve lost my house, trucks, boat, everything, and ended up where I am today, with nothing. What I could I sold to get booze.”
Jail or treatment? During his four months stay in Grand County Jail for his DUI sentence, Rayfield counseled fellow inmates about his knowledge of treatment, having been through it himself. || TREATMENT CENTER, PAGE 5 ➤ ||

Correction Because of an editing error, the meaning of a sentence in the Central View column in the July 20 edition was mistakenly changed. The sentence should have read: “Back in 2006, the last year the Republicans controlled Congress, the federal debt as a percent of GDP was about 63 percent. Now, after three years of Mr. Obama, the federal debt as a percent GDP is about 103 percent. In other words, in terms of GDP, the U.S. now owes slightly more than the U.S. is worth — a recipe for financial disaster.�

Alpine Art Affair is this weekend BY SUSAN STONE Special to the Sky-Hi News
A print available for sale at the Winter Park Alpine ArtAffair will bring a smile to your face every time you see it. The colorful print, entitled “Positively Fraser,� is the work of local gallery owner and artist Elizabeth Kurtak.

Proceeds from the sale of this print will benefit art programs in the local schools. This Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24, marks the 38th year of the Alpine ArtAffair, a fine arts and fine crafts festival held in a wooded park setting at the north end of downtown Winter Park on the west side of Highway 40.

Roof work is about to start on the Middle Park High School, which is none too soon for custodians Mark Farling and John Wenninger. Ever since the June microburst that ripped away part of the high school’s roof that covers half of the old gymnasium, Farling and Wenninger have been trying to protect the gym floor from further damage. “Anytime it rains” — even if its in the middle of the night — “they’re
not in bed,” said East Grand Superintendent Nancy Karas. Instead, the custodial staff is up monitoring the gym floor with mops and machinery, “trying to keep moisture off as best we can,” Karas said. Plastic covers the gap in the roof, but leaks manage to get through. The custodians work in the gym during times of rain, and Granby has had its share of rain the past three weeks. “They’ve done a wonderful job of trying to maintain the integrity of the floor,” Karas said. The school district’s insurance company has finalized work on the roof, the cost of which is $200,000. Once the building is dried and sealed, work will start on repairing the gymnasium floor, which is well-

used instructional space during the school year. At the July 19 East Grand School Board meeting, the board authorized work to be done without seeking bids due to the project’s immediacy. East Grand’s policy is to seek bids on work costing greater than $25,000, but since that process can take 3 to 12 weeks, Karas said, the board can elect to “bypass the policy in situations like this when time is of the essence.” The insurance company enlisted The Roofing Company of Granby to assess the roof; that company will also be doing the work. — Tonya Bina can be reached at 970-8873334 ext. 19603

District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham and Deputy District Attorney Heather Shwayder Hughes relied on evidence of gun powder on Schoen’s right hand

Project aims to clean up Fraser River SPECIAL TO THE SKY-HI NEWS
The 15-year-old pond will be rebuilt to better trap and collect sediment that washes down the road. Improved engineering will allow CDOT to easily remove excess sediment from the pond without impacting wetlands or infrastructure. The sediment will be hauled to a Grand County gravel pit for reuse. The sediment has been tested to make sure there are no environmental concerns. In rivers, trout need cold, clear water with a loose, rocky bottom. Traction cinders used on Berthoud Pass in the winter end up in the Fraser River, choking spawning beds and other aquatic habitat and undermining overall stream health. In addition, the excess sediment clogs Winter Park Water and Sanitation District drinking water intake pipes and Winter Park Resort’s diversion pumps. By collect-
On Aug. 15, reconstruction work will begin on the Fraser River Settling Pond along U.S. Highway 40, across from the entrance to the Mary Jane ski area. The project is located in the Arapaho National Forest and involves collaboration between the Colorado Department of Transportation, Denver Water, the Town of Winter Park and Grand County as well as the East Grand Water Quality Board, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

“That’s when it really hit me how many people out there really want help,” he said. “There are people that belong in jail, and there are people that belong in treatment.” But treatment is not easy to come by in Grand County. This realization gave Rayfield new purpose — he is now on a quest to help develop a treatment facility in Grand County. “I want to help other people, that’s what I want to do,” he said. “I think it’s what God put me on this earth for. This project is keeping me sober — I work at it day and night.”
The need Coloradans are less likely to receive treatment for substance abuse when compared to the U.S. as a whole. In a major study conducted in 2006 by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Colorado is one of four states providing the lowest level of service to substance abusers 12 years old or older. In a March 2007 Community Health Survey focused on Grand County, “alcohol abuse” ranks third in a list of top 10 community health problems. The Health Survey states that more than half of Grand County respondents identified access to counseling and support as a top need for curbing alcohol abuse. But the closest long-term
treatment facilities are on the Front Range and in Grand Junction. “Returning to their home community, individuals in recovery face a multitude of social challenges along with the disruption of their treatment plans,” the study states. Meanwhile about 85 percent of inmates in Grand County are jailed due to alcohol- or drugrelated events, according to Grand County Sheriff Rod Johnson. “I really think that one of our problems in Colorado is that we

Project history The settling pond was originally constructed in 1995 through an $114,000 federal grant, but over time the original design didn’t function as expected. In 2008, the East Grand Water Quality Board acquired an $187,900 Colorado Water Conservation Board grant to reconstruct the settling pond. Grand County will administer project construction. CDOT has contributed $100,000 toward project re-engineering and construction. As part of the proposed enhancements within the Moffat Firming Project Agree-
counties, or could it be the function of law enforcement? “Our communities attract-risk takers; probably a little of both,” Gangel said. “The need is huge for treatment centers,” Johnson said. “ The problem is paying for them.”
The quest Paying for a center is the number one hurdle Rayfield faces. On June 21, he conducted a meeting on the subject to brief top county officials, and has since recruited “foot sol-
ment, Denver Water has contributed $50,000 toward construction and will take ownership and responsibility for the infrastructure. JVA Inc., a local engineering firm, redesigned the pond to improve sediment collection and to create a method for channeling water away from the basin when necessary. The re-design also includes access improvements from U.S. Highway 40 to accommodate long term maintenance and sediment removal without impacting wetlands or Denver Water’s infrastructure. Construction is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 30. For more information, call Grand County at 970-725-3347 or visit www.co.grand.co.us.
a desirable location for those undergoing treatment because of its proximity to county services and for its hot springs. But for such a facility, Rayfield may need to obtain a special use permit from the town. The subject is pending town review as early as August. “I wish I had the money to buy that building right now,” Rayfield said. “I’d buy it and donate it to the county. But I’m broke.” Once any building is in place, Colorado West Mental Health has indicated they’d be willing to run the treatment center, which for a 20-bed facility can cost a ro u n d $ 1

Determination Rayfield appears undaunted by the challenges at hand, holding steadfast to the sheer goal. “When I pop this idea to people, they say, ‘We’ve needed that for years!’” he said. “I’m all for the treatment of substance abuse,” said Grand County Social Services Director Glen Chambers. “I would like to see a prog ra m ha p p e n s o m e where.” Yet all recognize that Rayfield has embarked on a monumental task. “But this is how things happen,” Gangel said. “One or two people start raising the flag, and raising it again.

the “more affordable” $13,000 per-person fee range, Gangel said. “Thirteen-thousand dollars is inexpensive compared to the increase in earning potential for folks who have succeeded in treatment and no longer have a substance abuse problem,” Gangel said.

Question of the Week Should nightly rentals be allowed in all area of Grand County?
Grand’s outdoors is big enough for all To the Editor: I regret that a visitor from Westminster did not enjoy camping in Grand County, as outlined in her letter to the editor. We are blessed to live up here in the wide open spaces, but I feel we must respect that this is a land of many uses. People come here to: hike, bike, camp, fish, boat, hunt, river raft, horseback ride, snowmobile, ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, snowboard, ice skate, sled, tube, sleigh, party, eat, shop and socialize. There is no one "correct" way to enjoy Grand County. Let's all share the experience and try to let others enjoy it too, each in their own way. Can't we all "share the road?" DEBORAH HOYHTYA FRASER
Are all these festivals worth the effort? To the Editor: The current Sky-Hi News online poll (skyhidailynews.com) is “What summer activity do you think contributes most to Grand County’s economy?” There are more than 500 responses, and only 4 percent responded “Music and other festivals” behind biking, boating, fishing, sightseeing, camping, and even golf. I wonder how much money and man hours go into promoting music and other festivals compared to the other activities?

Column mislead on Obama energy record Felicia Mufti’s June 15 column was misleading about President Obama’s energy record. She states, “He has already opened up more federal leases...” The exact opposite is true. Since Obama has been in office, the number of federal, onshore leases put up for bid has dropped by 75 percent. To make things worse he has extended the review process to one year for leases nominated for bid. The BLM staggers when leases in different areas can be nominated for bid, so in some areas the review process could take 1.5 years. This is not opening up more federal lands for leasing. Muftic also says that Obama’s shut down of drilling in the Gulf had had limited effect. Another totally misleading statement, as many shut down rigs in the Gulf are still waiting to resume drilling. Obama installed a slow and cumbersome new permitting process and it has been very slow in issuing new permits. Obama recently stated that he is proud that he has issued 10 new permits, an outright lie. Only one of the permits was a new permit and the other nine were permits to continue drilling on wells that had been shut down by his moratorium. In the same radio comment he said his administration had permitted as many Gulf wells as the previous administration, another outright lie. Obama and the Democrats have this defeatist attitude about drilling, that we are not sure how much oil we will find so it’s not worth looking for. We have oil potential from Alaska to Florida and from California to the East Coast that is just waiting to be explored. Every barrel of oil found will create American jobs, pay American taxes, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and even possibly reduce the price at the pump. We can help our selves if Obama will let us. So in summary Obama has tried to shut down and bad-mouthed an American industry at every opportunity, and has personally destroyed American jobs, taxes and our balance of payments. TIM T.

GOP agenda is there for all to see To the Editor: We don’t have to guess what the Republican agenda is. Under their control, the House hasn’t passed a single bill that’s created new jobs. But they voted to kill Medicare, give tax breaks to the wealthy, cut funding for renewable energy and infringe on a woman’s right to choose. Even conservative columnist David Brooks compared the Republican fanaticism to the Taliban in their refusal to raise taxes on corporate millionaires and billionaires. Just as the fanatic Taliban refuses to let girls go to school. GLEN BAKKEN GRANBY

Now, tell us about the three C's of diamond buying.” “You . . . ah, yes, well, there are actually four C's: color, clarity, carat and credit report.” “Credit Report?” “That's right. An engagement ring is more than a precious stone. It's a measure of the quantity of love that a man has for a woman. A man in love should spend five years of projected income on a diamond engagement ring, adjusted for inflation, raises and bonuses, of course. This ring, for instance, represents about 82 percent true love. It's a flawless, unique orange gem, sixteen carats in weight. If you buy today, it comes with its own resting tripod when she tires of waving it in front of her friends.” “Did you say, ‘flawless.’, Tom? Uh, what's that smudge? Look!

Oh yes, an engagement ring purchased from me, Tom Shame, and not one of those rat-infested “mall” stores, says to the world that the man's father has so much faith in the promise and love of this new daughter that he was willing to co-sign for him.” “What do those tiny ‘mall’ diamonds say, Tom?” “Sadly, 'mall’ diamonds shout

It might be a smoking-hot Facebook girlfriend, possibly a kid in Detroit, or maybe even a recurring medical condition. These are all hidden risks of buying diamonds at 'mall' stores.” “Tom, young couples today are concerned about value. Everyone knows the astronomical price of diamonds is based upon an artificial scarcity. If the whole Antwerp stockpile were dumped on the market, prices would plummet like the lumps of coal they are.” “You hate me, don't you?” “No, Tom, I hate pitching a

Gee, Tom, what's a Cocktail Ring?” “When young couples come in, I feed them cocktails until we come up with something that perfectly matches their parents net worth.

They'd be better off buying a reliable car or saving for a down payment on a home.” “What? I ... I never heard anyone say that. People say that? What people? Who said that? NAME NAMES!

Colorado State Patrol hazmat crews installed mitigation measures and contained the gasoline leak before it contaminated any waterways, Wilson said. The remaining fuel on the tanker truck had to be offloaded before the wreckage could be removed. Traffic was stopped on both sides of the pass for the duration of the clean-up. Wilson did not know if anyone was injured in the accident, but emergency services were on scene as a precautionary measure throughout the clean-up process, he said.

Grand Rendezvous coming to Granby in August A new festival is coming to Granby. Aug. 27-28 is the debut of The Grand Rendezvous. History will come alive in Kaibab Park as the event will feature a lumberjack show and competition as well as a mountain man rendezvous and historic skits about Grand County. There will also be a chili cook-off and a pie baking contest. The lumberjack show will include events such as an ax throw, men's and women's single cross cut, an incline pole, and a stock saw competition. All lumberjacks, amateur and pro, are welcome to enter the competition. The mountain man rendezvous will occur at the same time with demonstra-
tions and stories about the rendezvous of old. There will be time to see how a tepee is erected and a hide is cleaned and sewn. Story tellers will share tales about Native American and mountain man ways. In addition, the Grand County Characters will perform skits about historic characters including Granby Hillyer, David Moffat and others. Then head to the chili cook-off and help judge the best chili in Grand County, or perhaps you would prefer to judge the best pie. For more information, or to enter one of the contests, visit www.granbyevents.com, www.granbychamber.com or call the Granby Chamber, 887-2311.

Cottage Court to serve up ice cream RYNDI Z ASTROW Sky-Hi News Intern
The 100-year-old Smith-Eslick Cottage Court, located at Lake and Vine Street, will host an ice-cream social and fundraiser on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The bash will celebrate the structure’s newly-minted status as historically significant: in June 2010, the rustic cottage was placed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties. Attendees will have the opportunity to indulge in creamy treats donated by Miyauchi's Snack Bar and City Market, pose for pictures with a 1920s-era Dodge automobile and learn about the role cottage courts played in the evolution of the American West. “It's really all about getting the public
involved,” explains Jim Cervenka of the Grand Lake Area Historical Society. “Cottage Court is a cultural icon, and its preservation is absolutely imperative. I think any one of our visitors will recognize that and want to support the venture.” Ultimately, the historical society plans to restore the Cottage Court to its original condition. To recreate the authentic “motor hotel” setting, the local organization hopes to expand into a neighboring lot. “The additional plot of land will allow us to construct boardwalks, a grassy area and public restrooms. It will become an educational, family-friendly destination. You just can't beat that.” The historical society welcomes any contribution or pledge of support to the Cottage Court Campaign.
Grand Huts seeks volunteers Grand Hut Association has begun construction of the Broome Hut, located on the west side of Berthoud Pass, one mile up Second Creek.

site and to work on site with the many tasks at hand. We are working seven days a week until the snow flies, but we could really use your help NOW. This is an opportunity to get involved in a true legacy. Please contact Marilyn Anderson at marilyn.anderson@q.com or 970-4702398.

SPORTS/FITNESS Slow down to improve results T
he tempo of movement during muscular strength training generally should be slow. But, what does slow mean? And, why do we need to perform our repetitions slowly? To answer the first question, slow generally means two counts to eight counts each direction (i.e. concentric and eccentric phases of the contraction). Yes, there are times that we train for power, JACKIE WRIGHT which is a combination of strength and speed, and if the client is capable of controlling the movement and, if applicable, the external resistance, then the tempo may be quicker and more explosive. However, when we are discussing traditional muscular strength training, the slower tempo tends to be safer and more effective. Follow the guidelines and explanations cited below when training to stay safe and produce the results you are seeking. As always, prior to beginning any exercise program, please consult your physician.
FITNESS TRAIL
Safety - It is generally easier to control the repetitions when moving slowly, and this tends to create a safer environment for the joints, muscle and other connective tissue. Every day in unsupervised exercise settings, we see the result of fast tempo muscular strength training, which tends to yield out of control, unsafe repetitions. Even if the exerciser does not experience an injury while performing repetitions that are too fast and out of control, over time, they may very well experience an overuse injury that may have been prevented had their performance been slower and in control. In general, if the load being placed on the body part, whether from body weight or from external resistance, is quite high and very challenging, this is a good time
to slow way down and concentrate on quality repetitions over quantity. It is rare that a client is moving too slow; therefore, we spend a significant amount of our training time coaching our clients to slow down and strive for control. Results - Where results are concerned, these are generally more achievable when we are uninjured and healthy. Therefore, staying safe first, by controlling movement tempo, helps to prevent injury and ensure results. Additionally, the neuromuscular system needs “time” to communicate the movement messages and if the movement tempo is too fast for adequate communication, then the messages may not be accurate and the results may be negatively impacted (i.e. GIGO-garbage in/garbage out).
Muscular strength training tips • Perform fewer repetitions and fewer exercises per session, striving for quality, as mentioned above, over quantity. If you are pressed for time, then divide your muscular strength training sessions into upper and lower body days, making certain that you are not working the same muscle group in consecutive sessions. • Concentrate on a stable, braced body via engagement of the core first, and then perform slow, controlled repetitions. You may find it surprising that the slower repetitions are actually far more challenging, due to the physiological and psychological exertion that proper training requires. Never break form and listen carefully to your body to avoid any break. This laser focus may help you “feel” the muscular engagement like you never have before and that yields results.

OUTDOORS Local training, looking forward L
ake Placid is an Olympic village in the Adirondack Mountains of New York with a population of 2,700 people. The area boasts rivers, lakes, mountains, forests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everything an outdoor athlete could ask for. It was the site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics and has hosted Ironman for the past 12 years. Lake Placid is famous for being one of the most challenging Ironman courses due to significant climbing on the bike and run KRISTEN LODGE course. The weather can be unpredictable, adding to the difficulty. There is also the mass swim start of 2,500 athletes; it's going to be a tough day. But I've been training in Grand County for the last year; I'm ready for this. I've also learned that when I have a tough race coming up, the best way to keep my mind calm is to have something to look forward to. For this race I've been thinking of food. Lobster, scallops, fish, and clams; my boyfriend and I are turning this Ironman race into a vacation and â&#x20AC;&#x153;eating our way across New England.â&#x20AC;? We will start in Maine with lobster, then proceed to New Hampshire eating scallops and halibut, and perhaps more lobster. Just before getting on the ferry across Lake Champlain to Plattsburgh, N.Y., we will stop in Waterbury, Vt., for a Ben & Jerry's factory tour and free ice cream samples. I'm not sure what's good in upstate New York, but I plan to find out. Then, after the race, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it
Odds are you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Kirk Oldham takes a training ride in Rocky Mountain National Park, one of many great rides in Grand County. KRISTEN LODGE / SKY-HI NEWS all again on the way back to New Hampshire. I'm looking forward to food, family, and racing. I'm ready for this race due to the excellent training runs and rides in Grand County. I've said it before â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this column and as quoted in Triathlon magazine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grand County is a great place to train for endurance sports. There are challenging road rides; one of my favorites is biking on Trail Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitor Center in Rocky Mountain Nat i o na l Pa rk. T h e re a re w i d e shoulders for biking all over the county, and I've always felt safe biking. One time last year while biking on US Highway 40 a friend drove by and I got off my bike to chat. A Colorado State Patrol trooper pulled over to make sure I was OK when he saw my bike on the ground. I ran the hills on the road and trails in Granby Ranch and the Fraser Valley and swam endless
laps at the YMCA pool. Yes, this place is a great place for sports. Every year the county hosts several 5K road runs, 5 mile runs, trail runs, mountain bike races, and open water swims. Ju l y 9 b r o u g h t t h e f i r s t h a l f marathon to Granby with 100 runners racing through Legacy Park. There are two duathlons this summer, one at the YMCA of the Rockies supporting Shining Stars and an early fall duathlon at Grand Park Community Recreation Center. I will be thinking of all these races and what I'll do with all my free time while swimming, biking, and running in Lake Placid. I'll wonder what is next for endurance sports in Grand County and hope it includes a triathlon. I'll be hoping that more athletes discover what a gem this place is for training and Grand County becomes a training and vacation destination for endurance athletes across the country.

The individual subject of the notification has been convicted of a sex offense that requires law enforcement registration. Further, they have been determined to present a high potential to re-offend and are therefore subject to community notification regarding their residence in this community. This law enforcement agency has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may live. Unless court restrictions exist, they are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose. Sex offenders have always lived in our communities, but they were not required to notify law enforcement of their residence until registration laws were implemented pursuant to the Jacob Wetterling Act in 1994. Law enforcement may now share that information with members of their communities, and in the case of Sexually Violent Predators, law enforcement must actively notify citizens. Due to the mature content of the information that will be presented, it is not advisable to bring children to the meeting. It is strongly encouraged that the appropriate SVP information and public safety information presented be reviewed with children after the meeting.

Forest Service answers questions about the Mountain Pine Beetle Recreation Q. Will recreation be negatively affected by logging? A. During active logging campgrounds, roads, and trails may be temporarily closed for safety reasons. Alternate routes and closings will be posted on kiosks and signs, and prior notice of these actions will be posted online at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/ arnf/conditions/srdbarkbeetle/index. shtml. The public may also call or visit the Forest Service office in Granby, as well as local visitor centers, and retail locations in the area for updates. Logging will, in the long term, enhance safety for outdoor enthusiasts and help keep campgrounds, trails, parking areas, and other areas open to the public. After logging, the forest will be more open in some areas. Soils and new growth will need to be protected so the forest can regenerate. It is important for forest users to remember to stay on roads and trails and respect route designations and signage. Q. How will the MPB epidemic affect public recreational areas? A. On the positive front, the effects of the MPB epidemic will allow visitors to witness dynamic forest ecology first hand. Where recreational areas can be kept open to the public, the Forest Service will strive to maintain a quality visitor experience while preserving ecological processes. Certain campgrounds, trails and parking areas may experience limited use or closure of short duration during mitigation operations. Q. Many of the trees in my favorite campground have been cut. Was this truly necessary? A. Dead and dying beetle infested trees can blow down during high winds. This constitutes a danger to campers and Forest Service employees who may be in the campground. As funding allows, some camp-
grounds and picnic areas will be replanted with beetle resistant trees. Re-planting has already occurred in some areas such as St. Louis Creek Campground. The tree cutting occurred for the sole purpose of keeping the campgrounds open for the long term. Q. Why would the Forest Service plant lodgepole pine in campgrounds if they are at risk of future MPB attack? Why would they not plant MPB resistant trees? A. Lodgepole pine trees are best suited to growing sites in most campgrounds that are located on the Sulphur Ranger District. Many of these sites are warm and dry, which are ideal growing conditions for lodgepole pine and may not support other tree species very well. Other species such as Engelmann spruce and sub-alpine fir may be planted in select locations, however, the moisture requirements limit the potential for growth in most campgrounds. Forest Health Q. Mountain Pine Beetle is a natural part of the forest. Shouldn’t we just let nature take its course? A. While MPB is endemic to lodgepole pine forests the current outbreak is at epidemic proportions due to warmer winters, long term drought conditions, and an over abundance of beetle susceptible trees. Active forest management is needed to reduce the fire hazard that red beetle killed trees pose to communities in the wildlandurban interface. In addition, a high intensity wildfire would severely impact critical watersheds that provide drinking water for local communities as well as for the Front Range.

For one exercise, she recommends jobseekers grab a friend to stare them down and give them 10 seconds to name five of something, such as five famous people whose names start with a vowel. Other examples include naming five midsize cars, rivers west of the Mississippi or world capitals. “If you rehearse, you can reach a point where you are not thrown by the unexpected,” she says. In another exercise, Caroselli suggests someone give the jobseeker two unrelated words and asks them to draw a transition or connection between them. For example, if the words given were “spider” and “computer,” she recommends steering clear of obvious answers like “there could be a spider on my computer,” to think more deeply – for example, comparing how computers and a spider webs can both be beautiful yet ensnaring devices. and the skyscraper question? For challenging interview questions, Caroselli says often the employer isn’t looking for an answer; the trick is to think out loud and demonstrate creativity through the steps you would take to solve the problem. © CTW Features

DEAR ABBY
By Abigail Van Buren
FUNDRAISER TO PAY FOR ADOPTION RUBS FRIEND THE WRONG WAY DEAR ABBY: My best friend "Zoe" is unable to have children. She tried in vitro four times without success. The doctors told her there's nothing else they can do. Her uterus is not able to carry a child to term. Zoe and her husband have decided to adopt. However, it is very expensive and all of their savings went toward the IVF treatments. Zoe's mom wants to have a benefit to raise money for them. I am against the idea because, in my opinion, benefits are given for something you don't choose (like cancer or a house fire). Adopting a child is a choice. I live paycheck-to-paycheck as it is, and I don't feel comfortable donating to this cause. What if they change their minds after the benefit or the adoption doesn't work out? What will they do with the money then? Is what they're planning acceptable? Am I wrong to feel this way? I know I'll be talked about by Zoe and her mother if I don't contribute. -- FRIEND IN CONFLICT DEAR FRIEND IN CONFLICT: Whether Zoe and her mother retaliate by gossiping about you is beside the point. I see nothing wrong with a benefit. If Zoe and her husband can't afford to adopt a baby, another CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Selena Gomez, 19; Rufus Wainwright, 38; David Spade, 47; Albert Brooks, 64. Happy Birthday: Stop secondguessing what you should do next. Make a choice before it?s made for you. This is a year to embrace change, not run in the opposite direction. You want to send a clear message that you are not one to be pushed around. Being a little headstrong will help you get your way. Expressing your views and concerns passionately will lead to the success you desire. Your numbers are 5, 11, 17, 22, 30, 37, 45. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take action when dealing with friends, neighbors and relatives. Your reputation will precede you, bringing about new opportunities. Don?t let an emotional problem slow you down or stand in your way. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don?t hold back, when what you need is to be more outspoken. You'll be delighted by the number of people who feel the same way you do. You will find it easy to accomplish your goals once you get started. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Unusual circumstances will arise at work regarding a colleague or client. Do your best to help out. Your attention to the matter will be noticed by someone in charge. Good fortune is heading your way.
option they might consider is becoming foster parents. There are thousands of children who need good homes and loving parents and that, to me, would be the perfect solution. Please suggest it to them. If you are living paycheck-to-paycheck, then you do not have money to donate to this cause or any other right now. DEAR ABBY: I'm a 19-year-old student who works. Recently, I was talking with a co-worker about life, the economy and tough times. As we conversed I mentioned that I use hand soap as shampoo and body wash to save money. A few days later, during my lunch hour, I found grocery bags containing toiletries in the back of my vehicle. I didn't say anything about it to him, but he mentioned "seeing someone" put something in my car. I feel uneasy about this. I didn't mean to throw a pity party. I'm unsure whether to accept this "anonymous" gift. It was a nice gesture, but I don't want it to become a regular occurrence. Should I say something? -- HAVE MY PRIDE IN ARIZONA DEAR HAS YOUR PRIDE: Yes. Write your co-worker a short note, thanking him for his generous gift. Then say you think he is caring and thoughtful, but you are accepting his gift only as a onetime gesture. DEAR ABBY: A dear friend, "Harold," passed away suddenly
4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Consider signing up for a course that will allow you to diversify or change your vocation altogether. Someone you have worked with in the past will have some noteworthy thoughts with regard to your current situation. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make a statement. You will pick up information that is critical to something you are interested in pursuing. A display of emotion will let others know how strongly you feel. 5 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will gain popularity if you relax and have some fun or if you join a group that will expand your interests. It is best to avoid altercations with co-workers. Plan to attend a function in the evening that will help you make new acquaintances. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don?t let your responsibilities cause you to miss out on something you really want to do. Before you make a decision to change your living arrangements, consider the consequences.

You are a strong competitor and an advocate of your beliefs and traditions.
