Avoid house fires this holiday, winter season
FRONT RANGE Winter holidays are a time for families, friends and co-workers to get together and enjoy the season. That means a greater risk for fire. In fact, the holiday season is one of the most dangerous times of the year for household fires. Following a few simple tips will ensure a happy holiday season and keep you, your family and your neighbors safe from fire. Cooking is the top cause of holiday

fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. The most common culprit is food left unattended. It’s easy to get distracted, so take a pot holder when you leave the kitchen as a reminder. It is also important to remember two of every five home decoration fires are started by candles and nearly half of decoration fires happen because decorations are placed too close to a heat source. The National Fire Protection Association suggests always blowing

out lit candles when leaving a room or going to bed. Turn off all light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to sleep. Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant. Keep lit candles away from decorations and other things that can burn. Keep in mind, some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged. Keep decorations away from windows and doors. It takes less than 30 seconds for a dry tree to engulf a room in flames, according to the Building and Fire Research Laboratory of the National Institute for Standards and Technology. To minimize the danger, buy a fresh tree with intact needles and a fresh cut on the trunk. Experts recommend keeping a real tree watered at all times to ensure that it remains consistently moist. Keep it away from heat sources and out of the way. No matter how well the tree is watered, it will start to dry out after about four weeks, so take it down after the holidays. Artificial trees don’t pose much of a fire hazard; just make sure yours is flame-retardant. It’s possible to buy electric menorahs and kinaras, but if you prefer traditional candles you can still celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in a fire smart way. The Red Cross recommends keeping flammable items, including curtains and holiday decorations, at least three feet away from candles. Place a menorah or kinara on a nonflammable surface to catch the melting candle wax, such as a tray lined with aluminum foil. Never leave lit candles unattended. Before entertaining, test smoke alarms and tell guests about any home fire escape plans. Keep children and pets away from lit candles and keep matches and lighters up high in a locked cabinet. Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stove top. Ask smokers to smoke outside and remind them to keep their smoking materials with them and to wet cigarette butts with water before discarding. Be responsible with fireplace and wood stove ashes, too. Never use a flammable container, no matter how cold, or put any ashes in any container on a deck or other flammable material. It is suggested to place them in a metal bucket, soak in water for two days, then bury the cold ashes in soil.

Venue continues holiday tradition T NEDERLAND he Caribou Room’s “A Very Caribou Christmas,” its annual holiday music tradition, Dec. 22 at 9 p.m., continues this year with another large line-up of talented locally-based musicians led by former long-time local Vince Herman, front-man of Leftover Salmon. There is also a bad sweater contest, local vendors and a community Christmas photo. Tickets are $25 in advance. The band leader is happy to be able to come back to Nederland and put on the annual event to showcase musicians not everyone knows. “That’s one of the fun things about this show I love,” he said. Vince is also thrilled to be playing in the mountain venue. “The Caribou Room is a celebration of community that is an absolute treasure for the mountain scene,” Vince said. “I’m glad to be celebrating the holiday back in Colorado. I miss this town.” The concert is headlined by The Herman Clan featuring Vince and his two sons, Colin Huff and Silas Herman, with fiddle player Dan Andree formerly of The Henhouse Prowlers. Expect the unexpected and other special
guests to join in for this set. The show also features Chris Daniels & the Kings—a “legendary” Boulder act featuring its namesake singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and Colorado Music Hall of Fame member—Vince first heard when he moved to Colorado in 1985. The two are excited to “finally” do a gig together more than 30 years later. The rhythm and blues band features a full horn section. Snowflake Express, the house band featuring The Caribou Room owner and former Runaway Truck Ramp guitarist Peter Fiori, also includes Silas Herman and Cornwall. Expect “surprise guests” as well. Also on the bill is Boulder-based folk, jazz and soul musician Andrew Sturtz, “an amazing singer and writer, not many have heard yet” along with Family Dog Duo playing bluegrass, folk, jazz and country featuring Nederland guitarist Jon Ridnell and his son Miles. Multi-instrumentalist Jack Cloonan, leader of a Boulder-based “discograss” band, performs a solo set. Charlie Rose, formerly of Elephant Revival, will also take part.

Band features ‘strong’ country grooves COAL CREEK CANYON Thunder & Rain is a Golden-based, five-piece acoustic Americana band specializing in “Mountain Made Colorado Country.” Consisting of acoustic guitar, mandolin, Dobro, and upright bass, the band is known for seamAMERIlessly blending favorite elements of CANA bluegrass, country, pop and alt-rock to “cultivate their own take on the American roots music traditions.” Among its many Colorado dates, the band plays a special Concerts in the Canyon show with John Statz in Coal Creek Canyon, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m., at CCCIA Community Hall, 31528 Hwy. 72. The monthly Concert in the Canyon held at the CCCIA Community Hall “strives to bring the best local and national talent all the way up the mountain to an intimate listening room.” The event is B.Y.O.B. and a suggested donation of $10-$15. Driven by the “catchy choruses” and “dreamy melodies” of Erinn Peet-Lukes, the band “perfectly supports her heartfelt songwriting with strong country grooves, lush harmonies and rich instrumental decoration.” Erinn formed the band in the fall of 2013 when she moved to Colorado from Brooklyn, NY. Since then, she has added the classical talents of Ian Haegele on upright bass, the “smooth sounds” of Chris Herbst on Dobro and lap steel, the “crisp chop” from Dylan McCarthy on mandolin and, more recently, melodies provided by Natalie Padilla on fiddle. Denver’s John Statz is one of the more prolific young songwriters working in the folk and Ameri-

Pedal steel guitarist known for unique, ‘dazzling’ technique NEDERLAND Many musicians claim that they “grew up in the church,” but for Robert Randolph— who performs, Dec. 27 at 9 p.m. at The Caribou Room, 55 Indian Peaks Dr. in Nederland—that is litFUNK, erally the case. The renowned ROCK & pedal steel guitarist, vocalist SOUL and songwriter led such a cloistered childhood and adolescence that he heard no secular music while growing up. If it wasn’t being played inside of the House of God Church in Orange, New Jersey—quite often by Robert and members of his own family, who upheld a gospel music tradition called “sacred steel”—Randolph simply didn’t know it existed. It wasn’t until he was out of his teens that he broke away from his social and musical conditioning and discovered rock, funk, soul, jazz and the jam-band scene, soon forging his own sound by fusing elements of those genres. By the early 2000s, Randolph had begun applying his dazzling steel guitar technique to secular music, and from that grew the Family Band. The group’s sound was so different than anything else around that they were soon packing New York City clubs. The act’s improvisational skills quickly made them popular among the jam-band crowd, but for Randolph and his band mates, what they were doing was just an extension of what they’d always done. It’s latest 2017 album, Got Soul, was nominated for a Grammy. Other Colorado dates include the Black Sheep in Colorado Springs, Dec. 30 and Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Dec. 31.

H
alden Wofford & the Hi*Beams ride out from the cutting edge of Denver. Rootsy and real, neither revivalist nor retro, the Hi*Beams brand of country music is “as boundless and electrifying as America itself.” One of Colorado’s most popular and enduring acts, the Hi*Beams celebrate 18 years together in 2018. Equal parts Hank Williams and Johnny Depp, front man Halden Wofford pours forth a potent mix of rocked-up honky tonk, western swing, Dylanesque originals and spaghetti western epics. There is no creative limit to the songwriter, illustrator, author, storyteller and singer. Each tale he spins is met by the whine and wail of the steel guitar, the furious double-neck electric guitar and mandolin, and relentless thump of the upright bass and drums. Band members include Halden Wofford on acoustic guitar and vocals; Bret Billingson steel guitar, Dobro, harp and vocals; Greg Schochet on lead guitar and mandolin; Ben O’Connor on bass and vocals; and Damon Smith on drums. Hard Core Broken Heart, the band’s sixth studio recording, was released at the end of October and is the first that enlisted an outside producer. Bill Kirchen is known the world over for his work with Commander Cody in the 1960s and ‘70s; his time recording and touring with the likes of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe and Link Wray; and his current standing as an Austin guitar hero. The album’s tunes reflect both Halden Wofford’s “Texas-meets-artschool view of the world and an unapologetic embrace of the twang.” It’s got six new, one re-purposed Link Wray tune, a Bret Billings polka, and Damon Smith’s “paean to the 30 pack,” and a special appearance by Mollie O’Brien. Kirchen plays guitar on “Little Rig,” an homage to the band’s humble touring van. Visit hibeams.com to purchase the CD or find it on iTunes, cdbaby, Google Play Music, and Amazon Music.

Partnership increases hotel’s events ESTES PARK The Historic Stanley Hotel and AEG Presents Rocky Mountains recently entered into a new partnership agreement that will “take Colorado’s concert and entertainment line-up to new heights.” The expanded relationship combines AEG Presents Rocky Mountains world-class booking abilities with the iconic setting and facilities of The Stanley Hotel. Under the new partnership, AEG will bring new genres of entertainment and artists to perform in the intimate hotel venues. The arrangement expands on a fiveyear collaborative history between the two that began in 2014 with the Murder by Death concert series. Under this new arrangement the entertainment line-up at the hotel will expand to an expected 60 nights a year and include new artists and events to grow the diversity and scope of programming. “It all started when we were approached by Adam Turla and the band Murder by Death in 2013 to create a new type of concert experience,” said AEG Presents Rocky Mountains Vice President of Talent, Scott Campbell.
www.mmacmonthly.com
“From year-one at The Stanley, the feedback from the fans and the band was overwhelming drawing sell-out crowds from across the country.” The Murder By Death concert series expands into a 5-night run, over two weekends in January 2019. The series is expected to draw thousands of fans to Estes Park. Over the past three years, The Stanley also began promoting its own line-up of concerts and events attracting national touring acts like Los Lobos, David Crosby, and Big Head Todd and the Monsters. The hotel also launched a successful horror film festival, speaker series and a number of high-profile comedy events with Comedy Works Entertainment. “Working with a national entertainment leader gives us the ability to expand and develop new entertainment facilities on our hotel campus,” Stanley Hotel V.P. Reed Rowley said. “This is just the start of many exciting things to come.” Visit stanleylive.com and aegpresents.com for additional details and upcoming events.

Van Der Kamp creates stained glass art panels of original designs and embellished with fused glass. Her inspiration comes primarily from the beauty and vastness of nature, but also from the glass itself. Pennington hand-colors black-and-white photography with oil paints and colored pencils. She hand-colors her own images as well as historic photos. Ferguson has observed and photographed natural wonders and wildlife in Africa, Australia, Costa Rica, Peru, the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, National Parks and Estes Park.
L
Shook creates expressive, abstract, dynamic, life-force paintings in oil work. “When I paint, everything becomes intensely alive; my whole being dances with the sun, the wind, the gesture of all living things, and the tactile play of color and pain,” she said. Lee is one of America’s top wildlife photographers. With a career spanning more than 30 years, his pursuit of wildlife has taken him around the globe to some of the world’s most exotic wildlife locations. Shamah takes a piece of wood and turns it into a beautiful wood vessel by hand. His work is award-winning and brings the Rocky Mountain west to the homes and lives of collectors from all parts of the world. Wilson is a nationally recognized photographer and full-time writer, specializing in wildlife of high altitudes. She has published several books, has had her photos in many magazines, books and calendars. Her photos are in galleries across North America. Kasprzak enjoys working in various media, which include drawing, photography, oil painting, and watercolor with a focus on still life, mountain scenes, grasslands and historic architecture. Winter hours at The Old Gallery are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., through Dec. 23 and Dec. 29. To learn more, e-mail Kasprzak at kasprzakterry454@gmail.com or visit theoldgallery.org.

Bird count continues for 119th year FRONT RANGE
The Audubon Christmas Bird Count, the world’s longest-running community science project and wildlife census, Dec. 14-Jan. 5, involves thousands of volunteer birders and nature enthusiasts across the Western Hemisphere who take part in the WILDLIFE 119-year tradition of community science. Several counts, which are open to everyone, take place in this region and no experience is needed to participate. Each individual count takes place in a 15-milewide circle and is led by a compiler responsible for organizing volunteers and submitting observations to Audubon. Within each circle, participants tally all birds seen or heard that day—not just the species but total numbers to provide a clear idea of the health of that particular population. “The Christmas Bird Count is a tradition that everyone can participate in,” said Geoff LeBaron, Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count director. “Adding observations to more than a century of data helps scientists and conservationists observe trends that will help make our work more impactful. Participating in the Christmas Bird Count is a fun tradition for anyone and everyone.” The annual Rocky Mountain National Park count, Dec. 16, includes several teams organized to run various route in the park. During past counts, close to 50 different species and more than 3,500 individual birds have been counted.

New casino tower reaches final height BLACK HAWK Monarch Casino Resort Spa, 488 Main St., celebrated a major construction milestone when its new tower reached its final height of 23 stories, Nov. 29. A traditional topping-off ceremony featuring a beam signing by crew members of PCL Construction, Black Hawk officials and invited guests celebrated the event. Attached to the beam, an evergreen tree covered in holiday lights was raised to the top of the building to be visible to visitors as they enter the city on Highway 119. Black Hawk Mayor David D. Spellman, Monarch Director of Development Services Daniel Farahi, Chief Operating Officer David Farahi, and leadership from PCL Construction all made remarks. “Monarch Casino Resort Spa is raising the bar for quality and setting a new standard of excellence with this project,” said John Farahi, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc. “There is no property with the standards of Monarch in the market today and we are proud to partner with the City of Black Hawk to achieve its goal of becoming a true resort destination.” The construction of Monarch Casino’s new hotel and spa has employed more than 2,000 locals over the past two years, and on any given day, there are more than 450 construction workers on site. Once complete, the $400 million luxury resort will create more than 1000 casino and hospitality jobs. “The topping off ceremony is a chance for the crew to take a quick break, acknowledge their hard work, and celebrate a job well-- and safely-- done,” says Matthew Meunier, Senior Project Manager for PCL Construction. The former Monarch Casino parking structure was imploded in spectacular fashion Dec. 21, 2016 to make room for the new 23-story hotel and spa tower. When complete in Spring/Summer 2019, the expansion will nearly double existing casino space and will feature over 500 guest rooms and suites. Monarch Casino Resort Spa brings a world-class luxury experience to Black Hawk, complete with a full-service spa and roof-top swimming pool, new restaurants, bars, banquet facilities, convention and meeting rooms.

Restaurant hosts charitable events GILPIN COUNTY The VFW Post 7563 and American Legion Post 166 hosts a Kidney Fund Drive Dinner for long-time local resident and veteran Jesse Peterson, Dec. 18, 3-8 p.m., at Roy’s Last Shot, 17268 Hwy. 119. Jesse Peterson Enjoy prime rib, barbecue chicken or spaghetti and fixins’ for $15 a plate. There will also be a silent auction. All proceeds from the evening go towards Peterson’s Kidney Fund. Donations can also be made at plumfund.com. Search for “New Kidney or Bust.” Peterson was diagnosed with stage five kidney failure four years ago and the fund will help cover the expense of a treatment program that uses stem cells and can help patients avoid dialysis or transplant surgeries. The inevitable alternative is a kidney donor and a transplant surgery will be needed at a much greater cost. The veteran served his country in the U.S. Marines in 1968-70 during the Vietnam era. He returned to Gilpin County and is a wellknown long-time resident for over 46 years. He’s also the “life force” of the Chaffee Mine and owner of Vic’s Gold Panning. CUSTOMER APPRECIATION
Roy and Barbara Stewart continue giving back to their community by inviting their patrons to their annual winter customer appreciation event at Roy’s Last Shot, Dec. 16, 11 a.m.-close. The popular event features a full buffet meal and is always free to the public. Santa will visit the event from 1-3 p.m.

COVER STORY
Free Heel, Free Mind I
Nordic centers, local backcountry offer wide range of trails, experiences
CLEAR CREEK COUNTY n Colorado, a pair of cross-country or telemark skis can transport just about anyone from their everyday life into a peaceful forest environment of snow-laden trees, white meadows and trails along frozen creeks. A hidden world of winter beauty and sensational settings, without the crowds, can be unveiled throughout the Peak to Peak Region and nearby Clear Creek, Grand and Summit counties, by visiting the region’s Nordic centers and easily-accessible backcountry trails. There are also ranches, clubs and nonprofit organizations that maintain networks of cross-country trails throughout the area. For residents and visitors to the region there are no shortage of places to get out and put a pair of free-heeled skis, and their bodies, to work. Winter is a spectacular time to visit the area’s forests, wilderness areas, state park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s also the best time to visit a Nordic center for great trails and plenty of additional activities and amenities close at hand. Many even allow dogs. Backcountry options abound throughout the region with only a few mentioned here. In the Estes Park area, private lodges and resorts offer groomed trails for cross-country skiing and thousands of accessible acres are available in Rocky Mountain National Park. Non-profit Rocky Mountain Conservancy and other Estes Park-based outfitters provide guided backcountry treks. The Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests and the Indian Peaks, James Peak and Mount Evans wilderness areas—which run from the National Park south to Clear Creek County and from western Boulder County to Grand County—provide a lifetime of backcountry skiing options. Brainard Lake Recreation Area is one of the most popular places for winter recreation in the area. Fees are not charged during the winter operating season and winter recreationists can park at the Brainard Gateway Trailhead to access area cross country ski and snowshoe trails. Until April 30, dogs are only allowed on the Brainard Lake and Lefthand Park Reservoir Roads. Huts, yurts and cabins located in the area are also accessible to skiers. There are more than 12,000 acres of forest, rocky peaks and aspen-rimmed meadows with miles of trails for winter sports enthusiasts at Golden Gate Canyon State Park in Gilpin County while Clear Creek County offers several outstanding backcountry options including Old Squaw Pass Road, South Chicago Creek Trail, Echo Lake, Bakerville-Loveland Trail, Mount Evans Scenic Byway and Argentine Railroad Grade Trail.

When planning a backcountry ski trip, be sure conditions are appropriate for skiing and don’t forget to consider other users and your safety. Check conditions and consult the Colorado Avalanche Information Center at avalanche. state.co.us before heading out as conditions can change hourly. Skiers must also be prepared for quick changes in weather and exhaustion. Skills and gear to handle the risks are essential. Always dress in layers with insulating, waterproof clothing, protect your eyes and skin with sunglasses and sunscreen and carry water. Additionally, get yourself and your equipment in tune before heading out. Focus on form and technique, not your heart rate or speed. Rental stores, Nordic centers, gear shops and online forums and help you learn about layering waxes, trail conditions, gear inventory and what to wear in current conditions. One of the best ways to try out the sport is the head to a Nordic center for well-groomed trails, rental gear and expert instruction. Nordic centers are plentiful throughout Grand and Summit counties and Eldora Mountain Resort near Nederland offers exceptional Nordic trails. Avoid backcountry hazards, get on the snow quickly, try additional snow sports and have their top amenities close at hand at these world-class facilities. Eldora Mountain Resort Nordic Center near Nederland is currently open with 30km of groomed classic and skate trails through alpine meadow and pine forest. It also provides cross-country and Telemark ski lessons while the Nordic lodge offers food and rentals. The extensive network of trails start just a few steps past the ski lifts and meander through serene forests, across expansive alpine meadows and past dramatic mountain backdrops. The trails are designated for classic cross-country skiing, skate skiing or snowshoeing. New this season, Eldora made the shift to gated access, hands-free, lift passes. This radio-frequency identification technology includes the installation of terminals at all mountain access points, including the Nordic Center. This upgrade provides a quick and effortless way for guests to access the mountain. From tracked and groomed meadow trails to steep backcountry climbs, Grand County has a Nordic experience for skiers of every level on its many hundreds of kilometers of trails. Five commercial centers and a multitude of backcountry sites give skiers and snowshoers plenty of options. Most resorts are open and host a variety of early season events. Devil’s Thumb Ranch, which is already open, is a nationally-recognized, premier Nordic center. It offers nearly 120km of trails in the pristine and private Ranch Creek Valley at the base of the Continental Divide. Dogs on leashes are welcome.
