TAKE NOTE

T

here are plenty to things to celebrate in June including our county’s symbol on Flag Day, June 14; our dads on Father’s Day, June 17; warm weather on the Summer Solstice, June 21; and many others. Little known celebrants of the month are cats, because it’s also National Adopt a Cat Month.

According to the Humane Society of the United States there are about 93.6 million pet cats in the country, and approximately 33 percent of households have at least one cat. Obviously, the playful feline is a widely beloved companion.

If you’re thinking about becoming a cat owner, you may be deliberating whether to adopt one from a shelter or buy one from a breeder. While no one can accurately guess with any certainty how many stray cats are out there, the estimates about the number of cats euthanized in shelters each year reach the millions.

If you want the satisfaction of saving a cat’s life, adopting can be the best choice.

When you go to a local shelter, there may even be background information on a particular animal. It isn’t uncommon to find animals in shelters that are already vaccinated and even micro-chipped. Whether you are looking for a cat that is incredibly affectionate or more independent, calm or active, curious or cool – your local shelter likely has a match for you.

In Clear Creek and Gilpin counties, you can find plenty of adorable and adoptable cats at the Clear Creek/Gilpin County Animal Shelter – Charlie’s Place, 500 W. Dumont Road in Dumont just off Interstate 70 Exit 235. Charlie’s Place is a modern,

county owned and managed animal shelter serving the residents of Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties in Colorado. ​The shelter provides nourishment and a safe environment for abandoned, homeless, stray, and impounded dogs and cats.

Visit charliesplaceshelter.org to see their available pets, then stop by the shelter to meet the cat and complete an application. The adoption fee is $60 and includes spay/ neuter and initial vaccinations. Call 303-679-2477 for more information.

By Jeffrey V. Smith SILVER PLUME ilver Plume Players’ annual melodrama returns for the final performance of its 41st season, July 3. This year’s production, The Lady or The Silver Plume Players presents the last performance the Devil, was written by local George Downing and is a reprise of the of its 2018 melodrama, July 3.

1987 melodrama that includes songs by John McEuen and John Wilson.

Photos by Jeffrey V. Smith “The play was originally written in 1987 by George and there were some other stars… including John McEwen from the Nitty Grtty Dirt Band,” Director and Actor Nicolas Regester said. “He wrote one of the songs and then he did musical direction for the rest of it. Also, the title song, called “Dynamite Lady” was written by John Wilson, known as “Fiddler John,” who has made a return… to take his role back.”

According to Regester, there are plenty of reasons to boo and hiss. “The story follows a poor woman in her hour of need who turns to the only being who will listen. Unfortunately, the small mountain town must suffer for her decisions. It ends up turning the town upside down and the town’s people are forced to reconcile their differences.” The melodrama is plenty of fun and is the largest fund-raiser for Silver Plume’s historic preservation.

Tickets are $35 for adults and on Sundays, seniors are $30. Children are $15. All money raised goes to the People of Silver Plume, a local non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Silver Plume History. The group runs and maintains the George Rowe Several local residents play a part in Museum, the George Downing Playhouse theater and hosts other events for the town. the annual memodrama.

he Tea and Spice Exchange Idaho Springs now offers its own, in-store “Tea Bar” experience featuring hot and cold brewed teas to go. The idea is an answer to the number-one, most-asked question Co-owner Sadie Peak hears in her store: “Can I just have a cup of tea?” It happened so often, she, along with her partners, decided to add a spot to serve a variety of herbal, white, green, oolong, black, matcha and Chinese pu-erh teas.

“I am really excited to be able to offer teas to go at the Tea Bar Experience in Idaho Springs. We have so much space that it seemed really perfect.” The “Tea Bar” creations are made by the glass, which allows for sampling or just getting a personal favorite. They are offered cold or hot, caffeinated or decaffeinated and in a variety of flavors and styles. Drinks range from 12-24 ounces and cost $2.99, $3.49 and $3.99.

Also available are “Sweet Tea Treats,” including Apple Pie a la Mode Tea, Chocolate Caramel Candy Bar Tea, Cherry Cordial Tea and more, are also available. They are made by mixing teas and a flavored sugar. “They are all really good hot or iced,” Peak said.

“So far the reception has been fantastic,” Peak said. “We’ve been getting tons of people that are really loving it. And, as their tea is brewing, I can show folks how quickly they can brew a cup of really good tea at home. The nice thing is that it offers the ability for people to participate a little more. It’s one more layer of our mission, which is creating and sharing.”

Save time and message Peak on the store’s Facebook page or call in your order. “I’ll have the tea ready to go so [you] don’t have to wait. Just pay and go!,” she said.

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY

t’s an active time in the Clear Creek County Open Space offices in Georgetown. New land acquisitions, new grants, new facility construction and a new focus on a county-wide greenway and trail master plan have the program—established by voter approval in 2000— growing faster than ever.

The Clear Creek County Open Space Program, managed by Open Space Coordinator Martha Tableman and an 11-member commission appointed by the County Commissioners has a mission to “preserve and maintain the county’s unique character and natural environment by protecting our streams, woodlands, meadows, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, prominent vistas, geologic features, and cultural resources to enhance the quality of life for residents and the enjoyment of the outdoors for both residents and visitors.” It’s achieved this goal many times with projects throughout the country.

Recent additions to the county’s open space assets include the Floyd Hill Open Space and the Virginia Canyon Open Space.

Plans for extensive recreational development are in the works for both parcels as well as those in Clear Creek Canyon.

Floyd Hill Open Space allows hikers and bikers to conveniently access over 12,000 acres of public land from Interstate 70 and reach miles of connected Peaks to Plains trails in Clear Creek Canyon. The open space program is creating a trail master plan to guide the future development of a non-motorized trail system within the open space.

It plans to develop multi-use trails that will explore the ridge line and approximately 600 acres of open space connecting I-70 to the Peaks to Plains Trail in Clear Creek Canyon.

The Clear Creek County Open Space Master Plan 2030 identifies Floyd Hill as a major gateway to the county and one of the its two fastest growing areas. The North Floyd Hill property acquisition completes a contiguous network of open space securing continued protection of wildlife and additional recreational opportunities. It is the final piece of a decades-long protection effort for one of the last remaining conservation and new recreFloyd Hill Open Space Trail (top); climbing ational trail opportunities along the I-70 corridor between Golden and Idaho Springs. near Tunnel 5 (inset); the Peak to Plains This summer the Floyd Hill Open Space will see a flurry of trail building activity Trail head in Clear Creek Canyon (bottom). to begin implementing a new trail master plan. Clear Creek County Open Space and Photos by Jeffrey V. Smith Mountain Area Land Trust are working with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) on trail-building projects for National Get Outdoors Day on June 9, a women-only session on July 7 and a open session on Aug. 23. Visit www.voc.org to volunteer. Additionally, the Colorado Mountain Bike Association (COMBA) has trail-building mini-crews planed for June 13 and 27, July 25 and Aug. 29 . Full work weekends are planned June 30-July 1, July 28-29, Aug. 18-19 and 25-26. Visit comba.org to participate and learn more.

Virginia Canyon Open Space contains 400 acres of mostly undeveloped land, and social trails used by mountain bikers for the past decade. In 2003, the county transferred the property to Idaho Springs but a plan to develop the area was never acted upon. Interest was renewed in 2016 driven by new leadership, design of the Clear Creek Greenway, and potential Argo Mill site redevelopment. The area is now seen as a potential world-class recreation area.

Earlier this year, the Great Outdoors Colorado Board awarded a $62,000 grant to Idaho Springs for the planning and design of trails in Virginia Canyon. The town envisions a system of trails that puts the area’s natural beauty and mining history on display. The trail system will ultimately connect directly to downtown, the Argo Mine and Mill, and potentially Central City and the Clear Creek Greenway. In April, a contract for the planning and design was awarded.

The city is working to have the master plan completed by the end of summer 2018, with work to build trails beginning in the fall and completed as early as summer 2020. Idaho Springs plans to begin construction with the help of volunteers for COMBA and VOC while pursuing further grant funding to finish the project.

In October 2017, Great Outdoors Colorado Clear Creek County Open Space and Idaho Springs were awarded $2 million to continue additional on-going open space and greenway projects. The county open space program plans to use its portion to complete an extension of the Peak to Plains Trail connecting Tunnel 5 to Tunnel 6 in Clear Creek Canyon.

Call Clear Creek County Open Space at 303-679-2305 or e-mail mtableman@co.clear-creek.co.us with questions or comments about the county’s open space lands. Information can also be found on the county’s website at co.clear-creek.co.us.

Only the Best Festival focuses on virtuosity

By Jeffrey Smith IDAHO SPRINGS ark and Sarah Morris’ determination to bring live music to an outdoor venue in their hometown of Idaho Springs has grown into one of the state’s most anticipated bluegrass festivals. The Clear Creek RapidGrass Music Festival, June 15-17 at the Idaho Spring Ball Field Complex, welcomes some of the genre’s top, nationally-touring performers along with some of Colorado’s most talented players to its “Year of the Fiddle.” Although it grew to become a summer festival highlight several years ago, the festival and its line-up of virtuosic, intelligent players isn’t like the rest.

The Morris siblings, just two of six, grew up in a musical household and were always playing instruments. To them, it’s about a musician’s skill on their instrument rather than their draw at the box office. They, of course, need to bring in a few dollars to make the event viable, but that’s not the motivation. Bringing the best possible players to Idaho Springs is far more important to each of them then bringing in the masses.

“What separates the Rapidgrass Festival is that it’s not like a big-name recognition scene or scenester party,” Mark said. “It’s a listening festival and it features people who are virtuosic on their instruments rather than focused on just selling tickets. Most festivals are geared towards getting acts that will get a crowd. I promote music that I truly believe in and most of the time, when it’s a virtuosic player, they’re not going to have a big scene behind them because that’s not why they’re doing it.”

Mark, who books the talent for the festival each year and tours the country with his band RapidGrass, doesn’t buy into our state’s pervasive jamgrass scene that has blossomed nationally the past few decades. “Most of the people who are really famous in the jamgrass scene right now are really good at playing songs, but they’re not virtuosic instrumentalists,” he explained. “One thing that Rapidgrass Festival does is it really focuses on virtuosity.

I am excited about seeing some of these virtuosic players come here.”

The abundance of non-traditional musicians playing bluegrass-inspired jam rock in Colorado has led Mark to believe a lot of people in the state are not really exposed to virtuosic playing. “Maybe most of the listeners don’t even know the difference,” he said. “But that’s the most exciting thing, is how intelligent the instrumentalists are that are coming.”

This year’s festival has been branded “Year of the Fiddle” and features fiddle players from all over. “I think the best fiddlers in the world are coming. And they’re coming from New York and Boston. We have some fiddlers coming from California. I have one fiddler coming from Sweden,” Mark said. “There’s about 20 fiddlers coming. Five are probably the best in the world. So, this is the “Year of the Fiddle.”

Well-known bluegrass musician and head of the fiddle department at Berklee College of Music, Daryl Anger, will be leading the fiddle jam session. “It’s going to be awesome,” Mark said. “He’s going to have Britney Hass with him and Alex Hargreaves and Phoebe Hunt; she is a rad fiddler on the scene these days.” He also includes a member of his band in the mix. “Our fiddler, Coleman Smith, is nasty on the fiddle.”

Several more performers on this year’s

line-up have Mark very enthusiastic.

Twenty-six-year-old Sierra Hull, recognized from age 11 as a virtuoso mandolin player, tops the list. “She’s one of the best mandolin players in the world, the undisputed champion of the female mandolin for sure,” he said.

He’s also excited to see Hawktail, a quartet assembled by double bassist Paul Kowert of the Punch Brothers and featuring “an amazing violinist” Brittany Haas, and Dominick Leslie, “who is also one of those virtuosic mandolin players,” Mark said. He also said to keep an eye out for violinist Alex Hargreaves who graduated The Juilliard School when he was just 18 years old.

“You would never see these players at Cervantes or see them at a club. They are those virtuosic players that if they’re going to play, it’s going to be in a theater.”

Mark explained. I’m kind of lucky because I know who the players are because I’m rooted in that. And, I really appreciate that music, so I promote the music I believe in more than just to sell a ticket.”

Another highlight of the festival will be Sarah Morris’ “Sister Sarah’s Gospel Set” from noon-1 p.m. Sunday. Everyone is invited to come hear the performance, which is also an album release event for her debut recording, for no entry fee.

In addition to the performances, festival goers can expect a completely transitioned ball field filled with music lovers, vendors and more. Large trucks are positioned to block the highway which, according to Mark, isn’t noticed at all. This year FERAL and Mountain Hardware will conduct races to set up tents for prizes.

There will also be a second stage, camping and on-site instrument workshops for fiddle, mandolin, guitar, Dobro. “It’s a really fun scene. When the festival is actually going, it’s a damn good time,” Mark said.

According to Sarah, who manages most of the festival apart from the music, there are a lot of “really great” vendors coming including outdoor store FERAL, a jewelry maker, wood carver, mobile maker, massage tables, Turkey Creek Mandolins and more. A tepee will be set up with a tie die station and Something Independent will be doing open podcasts and relaxation stations. “We’ve got some really great stuff,” she said. “It’s going to be a really nice, relaxing weekend.”

At home in Georgetown

By Jeffrey V. Smith GEORGETOWN ustin Dowd and Jaime LaCrosse re-opened the Rose Street Bed and Breakfast in Georgetown last November and have worked around the clock keeping guests happy ever since. They wouldn’t have it any other way.

The couple started their new business, a complete departure from their previous jobs and routines, to spend more time together, but have quickly discovered a calling, and fondness, for the “art of hospitality.”

Both LaCrosse and Dowd had jobs that required regular traveling, often at different times. “We kind of looked at each other one day and wondered what we could do to change this,” Dowd said. “We went through several different ideas and landed on a B&B since we both had hospitality experience, and we’ve pretty much lived in hotels for a long time.

We were like, ‘we can figure this out.’”

The couple spent a few years exploring options in Colorado and California and in the end, stumbled upon the historic Taylor-Dewey House by accident. When they learned it was for sale and used to be a bed and breakfast, they were sold.

“We spent four hours here hanging out,” Dowd said. “We just liked the vibe, felt very comfortable and didn’t want to leave. We thought that was a good sign.”

According to LaCrosse, it was their “last-ditch effort” to make their dreams happen. “We made in through the kitch-

en door and, to be honest, it was enough to make me love it,” she said. “The furnishings were sparse, and the house needed a good scrub, but it had obviously been loved…

I believe that houses hold impressions of the people that live in them, and this house had character. It felt social and warm. I immediately felt comfortable and welcome.”

LaCrosse and Dowd now spend long days taking care of their guests making sure they feel that same warmth and comfort. Despite a somewhat steep learning curve about the industry, “overwhelmingly positive” feedback from guests let them know they not only made the right move, they are doing things right.

In addition to its convenient location at the beginning of the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, comfortable social and dining areas, and four well-appointed bedrooms without TVs, the Rose Street Bed and Breakfast serves a freshly-prepared, daily breakfast; offers a spa-like bath experience with luxurious bathrobes and products made at the Soap Shop in Idaho Springs; prepares afternoon treats; and includes details like 24 hour coffee and tea options, free WiFi, local information, large yard and a good ghost story.

“The Bed &. Breakfast isn’t just a business for us,” LaCrosse said. “It’s a home, not just our home, but everyone’s. We want you to leave feeling like you are a friend, not just a guest. We care a lot about making your experience a good one. It’s personal to us, not financial.”
