"The pessimist complains about

the wind; the optimist expects

it to change; the realist ad-justs the sails." William Arthur

Ward

At the concert by Hotel California – a salute to the Eagles on July 27, a band member asked a group of kids in the audience, “Do you know these songs?”

The kids shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

I remember the term generation gap.

It applies to me.Multiple times.If I had a nickel for each time I

heard “Peaceful, Easy Feeling” on the radio…

Of course kids do not know Eagles songs.

Just like I did not know the songs of the 1920s or 1930s.

At my house, music played when-ever the TV (black and white) was off.

I will date myself.I sang along with Mitch, danced to

Lawrence Welk, tumbled along with the tumblin’ tumbleweeds, watched Roy and Dale and NellyBelle and the rest of them then sang “Happy Trails” when it was over.

The Eagles were strange and new and different.

Not like Frank Sinatra or Elvis or the Beatles.

Decades ago I found myself work-ing at Caribou Ranch in Nederland and meeting people from behind the scenes of famous music makers – I worked in the control room at Caribou while Phil Ramone did mixes, while Jimmy Guercio talked on the phone to iron out details for tours for Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and the Byrds and the Beach Boys and Chicago and the Beatles, while musicians from all over the world set up their instruments and told me which microphone they prefer or where to place microphones or what jack to plug into, then returned to the control room to run the 16-track tape recorders – it was the pre-digital age.

Rush had just left Caribou to pre-pare for a tour, and we loaded some of their equipment and trucked it to the airport to ship it out.

Elton John had been at the ranch finishing an album before them.

Ravi Shankar and Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Stephen Stills, and a list of legendary performers were scheduled to come to the ranch to record music in coming weeks, at a cost of about $10,000 per week.

DatedThe cooks from the kitchens down-

stairs poked in and imformed the pro-ducers they left drinks, sandwiches, and cookies in the dining hall and they were leaving for the evening.

Musicians in a recording studio focus – time on the clock does not mat-ter; getting it perfect usually does.

Glenn Yarbrough flew in from California to sing the lead for an in-ternational commercial – we drove to Stapleton (pre-DIA) to pick him up, then took him back that afternoon – the professionals did not need very many takes to produce what the companies wanted – music that would entice travelers or investors or patrons.

“Discover the new Frontier,” Yar-brough sang.

Buddy Red Bow flew in from Canada and led Colorado drummer Larry Thompson through more rhythm changes in one song than most musi-cians ever will hear.

Thompson and I became good friends, and for a while I traveled with him and helped him set up for concerts.

Colorado audiences sure appreciate good music, and Thompson’s work caught the ear of many of recorded music’s stars.

Look for him (graduate of Denver East High School) still playing at venues in Colorado.

Or Frank Zappa.What impressed me was the atten-

tion to detail.The spoken parts were scripted.Picture a musician standing at a

microphone reading from a script and being told to read it again in take two for a different effect.

Never know what you might be asked to do in the music business.

Once, I was told to take a musician outside so he could shoot baskets before coming back into the studio to try a vocal part again.

Did not work.He could sing the part sitting in

a living room, but get him into the studio, and his voice went.

Pressure.Money to be made.Lots of it.Nearly every person who came

to Caribou talked about the Eagles, listened to their songs on the radio, sang along, commented, “That’s a great song”.

I liked some of the Eagles’ songs.Never went to any of their concerts

in Colorado.Enjoyed the technical nature of their

music – I remember watching Earth, Wind, and Fire repeat takes to ensure that every note, every measure, was in perfect time, in tune.

It was obvious the Eagles paid at-tention, too.

If you sang along with the Eagles, like singing along with the Beach Boys or Earth, Wind, and Fire, or the Beatles, you better know your melody and your harmony.

The sound equipment that travels with Hotel California stopped me in my tracks – it was a 32-track sound board for a 5-member group.

The electronics rack was worth maybe a quarter of a million dollars, maybe $500,000, but most people walking by probably did not give it a thought.

Noticing that someone sat within 6 feet of that equipment throughout the concert might have tipped someone off.

Like bringing the crown jewels to rural Colorado.

The music biz in 2013 demands perfection.

However, compared to the 1970s Eagles, many now performers do not – and the microphones are unforgiv-ing.

Just like on American Idol – if you miss at all, it is not good.

The guitar player playing Don Felder’s parts on the Eagles’ songs had an unfair task – Felder was notorious for recording a part, then thinking it over for a few minutes, or an hour, or a night, and doing it again.

Felder liked to double – play the same part a second or a third or a twentieth time with a slightly different sound for effect.

Some musicians can double, some get music paralysis and storm out of the studio in frustration.

The guitarist pulled off many of Felder’s parts that earned the young star the nickname “Fingers”.

Love them or just like them or for-get them and move on, the Eagles sang about the energy of a generation in the West – it was the 1970s, the 1980s, and later, and it was not the courage of the greatest generation who fought World War II or the beat generation of the 1950s or 1960s or even the lost generation of the 1990s leading to the millennium – it was thousands of kids at mostly outdoor concerts dancing and singing along because they knew every word to “last all summer long” and every part by heart.

You don’t see someone using horses to perform field work very often these days. That’s why I was so surprised to see a team out in a field alongside the road the other day. I just had to pull over and watch. As a very small boy one of my uncles, Ben Bell of Boulder, Colorado, then an honest to goodness farm and ranching area, still used horses to pull his hay machinery. I have a vivid memory of my father, who stopped by

A memorable experienceto help him, sitting me up on one of the horses pulling a mower cutting hay. I was perched right behind the collars holding on to the shiny metal balls on the ends of the hames which held the collars in place. A long string of white ivory rings hung from either side of the collars. Their chinking, mingled with the creaking of the harness, clatter of the mower sickle and my uncles’ voice signaling them with “gee” and “haw” which seemed to correspond to “left” and “right,” mixed with the smell of horse sweat and newly cut hay has to have been as close to the sounds of heaven as any mortal gets to hear. I can not tell you how long they let me ride up there. It is a pretty sure thing that the noise I made when they pulled me off my magnificent perch, was just as etched in the adult’s memory as the ride was in mine. Far across the field the team I was watching seemed to be moving very slowly if at all. That was O.K. with me. My thoughts had put me in a place I was in no hurry to leave. After sev-

eral minutes had passed, however, the warm fuzzy memories were starting to fade and the team was not drawing any closer. I decided to walk across the field for a closer look. As I drew nearer it became obvious the team was hope-lessly tangled, with each horse facing in the exact opposite direction. “Wow, that’s a mess. Do you need some help straightening them out?” I asked. “Naw, they’re just like I want them,” the driver answered calmly. “I hitched them butt to butt so they would pull against each other. Been waiting for something to happen for hours. Guess I’ll just give up and take ‘em home.” With that, he unhooked the patient pair. As he led them off I heard him say, “Come on House, let’s go home. Intrigued by this highly unusual situation I had to ask, “House is a strange name for a horse. What do you call the other one? “Senate,” he grumbled. “Come on guys we’re not going to get anything done again today.”

The View from Falconby Judi Tobias

Kitchen Kornerby Nikki Lister

By Judi TobiasThere was an interesting article in

last week’s Gazette about an AARP meeting at the Broadmoor where local AARP members met with the organi-zation’s national president and Sena-tor Udall to discuss the cost of living portion of social security. First of all, I thought it was inappropriate to have the meeting at the Broadmoor—how many retired people do you know who frequent hotels like that? Maybe the money could be put to better use. The idea was to discuss with Udall

some of his plans to balance the US budget as they relate to social security and other social programs. One of President Obama’s ideas for cutting costs is to use a “chained consumer price index” to lower cost-of-living

adjustments for social security, veter-ans’ benefits and food stamps. First of all, the cost-of-living adjust-

ments in the past decade or so have been very small and for a couple of years, there weren’t any given. Also, the cost-of-living index relies on what the increase in the cost isf of certain items. One thing that is heavily weighed is the cost of a mortgage. To me, that particular item isn’t as valid as the costs of food and heating. Most people don’t buy a new home that often and their payments don’t change that much. Food, gasoline and other necessities play a much larger part in our budget from month to month. Medical costs for seniors, even with medicare or other insurance, cost more as they age.

One thing about many social pro-grams such as social security and medicare is that they are based on age. To me, it would be logical to base part of the benefits on a “needs” test—that is, if someone who is in the age group to receive social security or medi-care, but they have an income above, say, $75,000 per year, they would be expected to have a co-pay on their medical bills, or some other adjust-ment. That kind of program would help to cut the costs of the program and balance the budget. Many of the elderly are just on the edge of poverty. The minimal cost-of-living payments of the past few years doesn’t keep up with the increased costs they are pay-ing as it is. The last thing we need is to cut cost-of-living payments.

AARP discusses Social Security changes

Easy Teriyaki Sauce1/2 cups soy sauce or tamari.

(Please try to buy these organic)1/4 cup + 1 T mirin (Japanese

cooking wine)1 1/2 T maple syrup1/4 tsp ginger1/2 tsp garlic1/2 T arrowroot (this is used as a

thickening agent.)In a sauce pan, mix all the in-

gredients on low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar. The mixture will thicken slightly in

the fridge. When ready to use, you can try this recipe. If tofu isn’t your thing, feel free to use your favorite protein.

Teriyaki Tofu Stir Fry1 pkg extra firm tofu (please try to

buy this organic)5-6 handfuls of spinach2 cups cooked quinoateriyaki dressingPreheat oven to 375. Cut the tofu in

cubes and place into a container. Pour the teriyaki mixture into the container and let it marinate for at least an hour.

When it’s done marinating, use a slot-ted spoon to scoop up the tofu and lay it on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, stopping half-way through to flip and brush more sauce on the tofu. Once the tofu is done, set it aside. In a large sauce-pan, heat the cooked quinoa with the remaining sauce. Turn down, cover and simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Lastly add the spinach and cook just until it is slightly wilted. Uncover and let the remaining sauce boil off. Top with the roasted tofu. Enjoy!

Water is arguably the most impor-tant natural resource for the Plains of Colorado.The Natural Resources Conservation

Service (NRCS) can assist with the development of a reliable water sup-ply for rangeland. This development should be the first step towards proper grazing management. Water develop-ment will include a well, pumping system, and a livestock tank. Storage tanks can also be included. It can also include a pipeline if necessary to get water where a well is not possible or use a single well to supply several livestock tanks.NRCS has very specific requirements

when it comes to installing the prac-tices that are part of a water develop-ment. The initial step in designing a water development is the amount of water required to meet the needs of the animals. Current requiremaents dictate 20 gallons per head per day. (Using a 1000 lb animal as a factor). For example 20 head of cows will require (20*20= 400 gallons per day). NRCS will look at the average carrying capacity of the acres of rangeland in-volved and the type of grazing system being used. Studies have shown that a more intensive grazing system will require more water to meet the needs of the animals. This requirement will dictate the rest of the design features of the water development. A well is the initial practice to get

started. Well drilling is regulated by the state of Colorado and requires an application to the State. NRCS follows the rules and regulations the state has. All well drillers are required to follow these rules and regulations. NRCS utilizes map data available from the Colorado Division of Water Resources as well as local driller’s knowledge to estimate the depth needed for a new well. The gallon per minute yield of the well is a factor that is not known until the well has been drilled and developed!The next item needed is a pumping

system. In most rangeland conditions

there is not a source of electricity nearby so either a windmill or a solar pump is needed. If using a windmill, the tower and head must be NEW. Solar is the pumping system of choice lately. The pump and solar panels will be sized to meet the daily requirement (gallons per minute). The deeper the well the more panels or wattage is required. No more than an eight hour pumping day should be used.A livestock tank with storage capac-

ity is the next item to be considered. NRCS requires a 4 day supply if you are using a windmill, a 3 day supply for Solar, and .10 of the daily require-ment for an electric pump, (although we recommend a 1 day supply for electric). Storage tanks must have an overflow, be within 1” of level, have an animal escape ladder and can be steel rim with a concrete bottom, all steel, equipment tire tank, fiberglass or poly. It is important to keep in mind the animals that will be drinking from the tank. 22” to 24” is the ideal depth for most cattle and their offspring. Any-thing taller will not work for smaller animals. Deeper tanks also increase the chance for drowning.For a generic example, let’s look at a

pasture with a carrying capacity of 40 head. 40 head*14 gallons per head per day = 560 gallons per day requirement. For this example we will use a solar Powered Pump and an 8 hour pumping day. 560 gallons/8 hours/60 minutes per hour = 1.7 gallons per minute requirement. The tank would need to have the capacity for three days (560*3= 1680 gallons). A 12’ diameter by 2’ deep would provide 1692 gallons of storage. If in this example you are using a windmill, the requirement would increase to 4*560=2240 gallons (of a 14’ diameter by 2’ deep tank giv-ing you 2303 gallons of storage).There are a few more specifics that

will have to be followed depending on the type of tank you choose. For more specific information contact your local NRCS office.Sometimes in water development

Rector 50th Anniversary

By Judi TobiasA group of local 4-H members are

preparing to represent the El Paso County Horse program on the national level. The group is the Horse Judging team made up of Sarah Laden, Olivia Brandt and Dillon Martin of Black Forest and Tyler Watson of Fountain. Vicky Chumbly is the alternate.

The group met throughout the winter months on a weekly basis to practice their skills. They watched videos of previous horse competitions and learned to take notes on what they saw and how to give oral reasons for their judging decisions and to use the proper terminology in their oral pre-sentations. They had to learn how to judge all kinds of performance horse classes, both in English and Western disciplines and what the rules are for judging reining patterns. Their coaches are usually former

4Hers and successful competitors such as one coach who is a former Miss Rodeo Colorado. Jonathon Vrabeck, the El Paso County Extension Agent serves as the coachfor the El Paso County team with Jillian LaRue as

in several competitions this summer. Their next event is at the AQHA World Competition in Oklahoma City in Au-gust, followed by the National Arabian competition in Tulsa the 4th week of October and the finale is the Roundup at the National Stock Show in Denver in January.

Sarah Laden points out that, in addi-tion to learning lots about horses and horse showing, she has learned many life lessons, such as discipline and how to speak in public and express herself. To help fund their attendance at their

competitions, the 4Hers sold tickets to the August 10 Sky Sox game which is a benefit for several 4H activities.

By Judi TobiasArica Vlach, who was the driver of the car that ran the stop sign at Log Road

and Judge Orr Road and struck a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country driven by Nicole Enderle on the morning of July 12, killing Enderle and her three year old son, Alexander, and injuring two year old Zoe Enderle, has been booked into the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center on several charges including a third degree felony. Vlach is being held in lieu of a $100,000 bond. Her first court date is scheduled for August 1.The investigating officer, Sgt. J.R. Mullins of the Colorado State Patrol, said

that at the time of the crash, Vlach was, “substantially incapable of operating a motor vehicle.” He would not elaborate on that statement.

By Judi Tobias Black Forest residents Destiny Davis and Mikayla Crofoot are a small group that created “Crosses For Losses.” They are all volunteers and they are helping out on the grass roots level. For example, they helped out residents without insur-ance clean up the debris from their homes and dig out septic systems inundated by the floods that came after the fires.They started out making crosses out of pine tree branches from the Black

Forest itself. They gave crosses to Sheriff Terry Maketa, Incident Commander Rich Harvey and others.“We have small ones for $5 dollars, we have medium ones for $10 dollars and

the big ones like the one we’re giving to Maketa are $20 dollars,” Davis said. “And all of it, 100 percent of it goes to the fire department.”The group has grown. A small building was donated at the corner of Black

Forest and Shoup and needed items that are donated such as furniture, toys etc. are free to Black Forest residents in need of them. Everyone who works at the store is a volunteer. They are just local people who saw a need and are doing what they can.Their latest effort, in conjunction with Catholic Charities, is to provide sandbags

for people who need them to protect their temporary dwellings, septic systems and damaged well heads from flooding. On June 27 they handed the sandbags out at Black Forest Chapel on Vessey Road. If you have a need or can contribute to the cause, they have developed a Facebook

account at Blackforestcrossesforlosses. Their email is [email protected] and their phone numbers are 719-495-8831 or 719-235-2810.

By Judi TobiasAngie Browning isn’t competing in

the El Paso County Fair’s Demolition Derby this year. Instead, her number 69 purple mini is parked and she’s in the stands cheering on her son, Trevor Andrews. For the past year, Angie has been

concentrating on becoming cancer-free. It hasn’t been easy. In January, she had surgery to remove her ovaries and tubes. Then in April she had a double-mastectomy and reconstruc-tive surgery. Angie, like film star Angelina Jolie,

had a genetic condition that put her at high risk for cancer. Angie’s mother died of cancer at the age of 33 and her mother’s twin sister also had cancer. Angie began having mammograms

at only 17 and last year, a blood test showed that she carried the BRCA gene that gave her a 96% chance of having cancer. She was told by a genetic counselor that it wasn’t a matter of “if” she would have cancer, but “when.” So, two days before her 47th birthday, she made the decision to have surgery.

She says, “It’s the best decision I ever made. I definitely recommend anyone who has the BRCA gene to do it. It’s your life at stake.” She is now at 2% risk for cancer.Angie wants people to know that

her sons are also at risk and are hav-ing yearly mammograms. Men make up 50% of the victims of the BRCA population according to studies.

So Angie will be sitting in the stands at the fair cheering on her son’s pink truck with pink ribbons and she’s plan-ning on participating in the derby next year. Look for her.Some facts about BRCA:BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human

genes that belong to a class of genes known as tumor suppressors.In normal cells, BRCA1 and BRCA2

help ensure the stability of the cell’s genetic material (DNA) and help pre-vent uncontrolled cell growth. Muta-tion of these genes has been linked to the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.The names BRCA1 and BRCA2

stand for breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 and breast cancer susceptibility gene 2, respectively.

By Judi TobiasEarly in the Black Forest Fire, Com-

missioner Darryl Glenn said about the disaster and the recovery, “This isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.” He has repeated that sentence many times since. The latest meeting of the Clean Up and Debris Removal Subcommit-tee proved his point. It is now over a month since the fire and the guidelines for restoring the Forest and cleaning up the burned trees are still not com-plete. In fact, there seem to be no ground rules developed. David Wismer, who owns the 3000

acre Shamrock Ranch in the Forest attended the meeting at La Foret on Wed.,July 24, with Black Forest resi-dent Rob Willes to urge the committee to hire a contractor that Willes and Wismer had found to take on the proj-ect of removing the dead trees. Willes commented that “the enemy of the community is the standing dead trees.” He stated that Black Forest would become like Four Mile Canyon in Boulder County where the dead trees after a fire in 2010 caused the property values to drop dramatically. Judy Von Ahlefeldt, a member of

the committee and a Black Forest Resident, has a doctorate in ecology and wrote her doctoral paper on the ecology of the Black Forest. Her primary focus is to use “best practice” to maintain the Forest’s long term viability and to preserve as much of the existing flora and fauna as pos-sible. The problem is that there is no definition of “best practice” which applies to this particular case. Von Ahlefeldt cautioned that, until a study is completed as to what will be best for the long-term health of the Forest, the committee should not rush into removing the trees.Commissioner Amy Lathen, who

chairs the committee, said that the County will not force any action on individual land owners unless health and public safety are threatened. Von Ahlefeldt pointed out that land with no trees is also worth substantially

Cleaning up the Black Forest won’t be easyless and said that there are stands of trees that can be salvaged among the blackened areas. Commissioner Glenn stated “The County will not take on a specific contractor to do this,” referring to a wholesale removal of Black Forest trees.After Willes and his group left to

present their proposal to Black Forest Together, a nonprofit group of Black Forest residents who are working toward the recovery of the area, the

committee discussed what steps it could take to move the recovery for-ward. One proposal is a symposium where anyone with a plan for forest cleanup could present their plan and residents could decide what is most appropriate. “I see the County as a support role

to the community,” said Lathen. She continued, “We want to get out of the way as much as we can and let people recover.”

By Judi TobiasAt the July Falcon Fire District

meeting, Chief Trent Harwig brought

Falcon Fire Chief talks about District issuesthe Board up-to-date on several items. First, he said there are 15 apparatus (pumpers, brush trucks, etc.) owned by the District. The plan is to replace the fleet in 10-12 years.

Regarding the stations, Harwig said stations 2 and 6 are non-insulated which is a problem for winter opera-tions. The day room and kitchen for station 1 has been put on hold.

The District is short one battalion Chief; they are in the hiring pro-cess.

There are a lot of options in the ESA (emergency service ambulance) contract since the City of Colorado Springs has terminated their contract with AMR which is also used by Falcon. A possible response time of 20-25 minutes has to improve. The best possible scenario is for the City and other County users to use the

same contractor.Harwig then discussed some of

the after-effects of the Black Forest Fire. He explained that only 20% of the impacted area was in the Falcon Fire Protection District and only 14 houses were destroyed; 12 insured and 2 uninsured. Most of the damage in the Falcon District was to unplat-ted land and open space such as the Audubon property and the wildlife corridor in Black Forest Reserve. Near Vollmer Road, the Tri-State transmission lines were lost due to excessive heat from the fire.

There was a Board discussion regarding waiving the $340 permit fees for the burned properties similar to the waivers granted in the Black Forest and waiving rural water fund fees. The Board voted for the waivers but specified it would only apply for hardened (stick built) structures.

clapping Sunday afternoon at the El Paso County Fair as the famous Flying W Wranglers entertained the crowd at the Pepsi Dance Tent near the grandstands. Everyone particularly enjoyed David Bradley’s yodeling. Zach Lawson, the youngest member of the singing group, was popular for his solos such as “Danny Boy.”

Earlier there were lots of smiles for the free barbecue catered by Texas Roadhouse. Both the barbecue and the concert were sponsored by Ed Glaser Propane.Meantime, out in the Rodeo Arena,

the cowboys were getting down and dirty as they participated in the calf roping event of the ranch rodeo while in the Livestock Arena the 4-Hers and their miniature horses strutted

their stuff. The El Paso County Wagon Train

arrived earlier than the 4 pm planned time but everyone always enjoys see-ing the big horses and their wagons entering the fairgrounds after their trek from Ramah.Some of those enjoying the day were

from Black Forest. All Black Forest Fire survivors were given free general admission tickets to the Fair.

By Judi TobiasThe Burgess Road intersection at Black Forest Road was

closed last Thursday because of a gas line leak triggered by construction going on there. The construction was in high gear with heavy equipment and trenching for large culverts

and repositioning of utilities lines. Burgess Road east of Black Forest was finally reopened on Friday evening.The construction includes adding left and right turn lanes,

adding a new traffic signal and other improvements. It is expected to be finished in October of 2013.

By Judi TobiasThe 2012 audit of Woodmen Hills

Metro District’s finances showed that the District is in strong financial position, according to the report given by a representative of audit firm Ru-binBrown at the District’s monthly meeting on July 25. The report put smiles on the faces of the Directors and staff.Several other reports were also

positive including the Parks and Recreation’s July 4 hosting of the Troop 149 pancake breakfast. Over 860 breakfasts were served and 97 children participated in the annual bicycle parade. Unfortunately, a lightning strike took

out some security pads and one pump and needed to be repaired. A continu-ing problem is the vandalism in Balcon Park, according to Parks Director Ed-die Avedikian. There was discussion of installing security cameras.A visitor to the meeting was Leon

Gomes, new manager for the Paint Brush Hills Metro District who com-mented that he wants to pursue a collaborative cooperative relationship with Woodmen Hills Metro. Under new business, the Board voted

to pursue allowing a representative to make an offer for land on which to build a new waste water facility.

By John HillELLICOTT - The Board of Direc-

tors of the Ellicott School District at the July 18 regular meeting agreed by consensus to provide potable water to both sidelines at the football field.Construction plans called for potable

water to the proposed concession stand on the east sideline behind the new Ellicott Middle School.From each sideline, maintenance

personnel could access non-potable water for watering the field.From the proposed concession stand,

large containers of water would be car-ried or transported to the sidelines.However, directors opted at the July

18 meeting to change plans and ask for potable water lines to both sidelines.Superintendent Pat Cullen said po-

table water lines needed to be installed to the sidelines.Concilium Representative Chris

Guarino said trenching and installing 1-inch potable water lines would cause additional costs.Guarino summarized construction

progress to date.The budget is $15.774 million, in-

cluding reserve funds.Davis-Bacon prevailing wages are

being paid.Discussion of a site for a temporary

play area continues.The site will have 30 percent shading

to be in compliance.The site will be ready by Aug. 7.The consultant for the furniture pur-

chase will be hired in August.The asbestos abatement is com-

plete.Concrete construction has begun.Pre-casting of construction panels

has begun.Equipment has arrived for the geo-

thermal system.

Ellicott board wants potable water at football sidelines


Chris Guarino of Concilium Partners at the July 18 regular meeting describes the status of construc-tion at the new middle school to the Board of Directors of Ellicott School District.

Drilling will be completed in about 30 days.Soil compaction testing is being

completed.Implementation of the recycling

program will include board approved policy.On Aug. 5, a representative from

the construction contractor and Su-perintendent Pat Cullen will present information regarding safety at the construction site to staff.Building vacation will be on June

4, 2014.Superintendent Pat Cullen described

a change in exits for a preschool classroom.Egress at the back doors is not safe

because of construction equipment, so a different exit strategy will be used, Cullen said.The Ellicott Fire Protection District

is aware that a back door will be sealed.The board discussed the school

auction.Prices have been discussed.A showing is planned for this week.The board discussed a site at the

northeast corner of the campus where yards of dirt will be removed for con-struction purposes.Superintendent Pat Cullen recom-

mended that improvements beyond seeding be completed at the site.Director Dwight Hobbs advocated for

Simla Class of 1953 Reunion

By John HillEarlier this year, El Paso County

Sheriff Terry Maketa joined other law enforcement officers in Colorado opposing proposed legislation regard-ing guns.In February, four Coloradans - Victor

Head, Tim Knight, Durango, Anthony Garcia, Brighton, and Grand Junction attorney Erik Groves founded the Ba-sic Freedom Defense Fund, a 501 ( c ) 4 non-profit organization to respond to the proposed legislation.The organization reported $84,118

in contributions in four months, The Gazette reported.The group failed to push through

recall elections for several legislators, but were successful with two - Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, and Senate

President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs.Attempts to recall Sen. Mike

McLachlan, D-Durango, falied to get sufficient petition signatures, and to unseat Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westmin-ster, also failed.Democrats have described the non-

profit as an organization representing Magpul Industries, the National Rifle Association, and the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners.Founders dispute the claim.Garcia told The Gazette he had

signed to testify against the bills but was not given the chance.Garcia characterized the legislative

session as action along politically partisan lines.Garcia and the other founders target-

ed Morse partially because he carried a bill that would have made sellers, manufacturers, and owners of assault rifles liable for damages.That bill died during the session.The group did not target Hicken-

looper.Giron was not a sponsor or an advo-

cate for the gun bills.The four targeted legislators were

considered vulnerable because of low petition thresholds, The Gazette reported.Donations to the organization paid

signature collectors.The four contend that legislators

sidestepped constituents.Other donations will pay for promo-

tion of the recalls of Giron and of Morse.

Recall elections set for mid-September

A Chinese Fire Drill has been added to the 23rd annual HUB CITY CLASSIC Car and Motorcycle Show. Just for fun and bragging rights, teams of four will compete against one another in the age old Chinese Fire Drill. Each member of the team will start in one position of a four door car, when the clock starts team members will move as fast as they can around the car and return to their original position. The clock stops when all doors are closed. The best time wins. Teams are being sought to compete for this fun event to be held at noon on Saturday August 24.

Grandfathers and Dads and their sons and daughters are busy building Soap Box Race Cars. Some are revising last year’s models to get a little more speed or better handling; others are starting from scratch, either way this year’s race is guaranteed to be fun and exciting. The race will begin at the top of the hill by The First National Bank of Hugo/Limon and end at the foot of the hill near the library. Youth ages 5-17 will compete for trophies. Friday night car designs will be judged at Gaskill Field during the Hub City Classic kick off. Evening events include a meal provided by the Limon After Prom committee, We’ve Got Talent Contest and a Fireworks Display.

Motorcycle enthusiasts from near and far are signing up to enter this year’s event. One of the highlights of the Hub City Classic has always been the poker run. Contestants pick up playing cards from different businesses. The best hand wins. Two poker runs will be held this year. One will feature businesses within walking distance of downtown; the other will include farther reaching busi-nesses to add fun for the motorcyclists. The entry fee will be $25; pay out to the winner will be 50% of the proceeds. Barbara Trujillo of Viaero Wireless will be administering the event from their office at the corner of 2nd and E Avenue. The poker runs are open to the public as well as car show entrants.

The Chamber is excited to use the Mural Plaza at the corner of E Avenue and Main Street to display Motorcycles. Big thanks go to Jim Broyles, the owner of the lot. Cars will once again be lined up along E Avenue. The stop light park will be used for vendors to sell food and other wares. Additional vendor spaces will be available at Serendipity at 973 Main Street where Lincoln County Trade Days will be held. Call Misty for information at 719-732-7714.

For all the details, including forms to register for the car/motorcycle show, soap box race, talent contest, and vendors go to www.limonchamber.com , call the chamber office at 719-775-9418 or drop by the Limon Memorial Library.

Limon’s 22nd Annual Heritage Festival Celebrates Life on the Plains…

come are dozens of volunteers many dressed in historic costumes as they bring to life the challenges and joys of life in an earlier time. This year’s event will be highlighted

by a stunning display~ “I-70: A Turn-ing Point”~ on view in the Museum Exhibit Building. This exhibit has created a great deal of interest from visitors for the dramatic way it traces the changes in Limon’s Hub City fol-lowing 1975 completion of Interstate 70. There is something for all ages to

enjoy in the annual Heritage Festival that has gained high praise from visi-tors from around the world.

Dave and Jenean Schuler’s daugh-ter, Tamara Myers, took them to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver re-cently. Tamara had her daughter and another child with her. Tamara rented wheelchairs for Dave and Jenean. They loved it. It was beautiful and wonderful.

We wish Delbert Kraich a speedy recovery from his knee replacement.

Betty Wiebe had an exciting visitor at her house last Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. Twenty-

six years ago, Betty’s family had a foreign exchange student, Oivind Flesen, from Norway, stay with them for the school year. Oivind was recently in Colorado Springs for the Ellicott class reunion, so he came to see Betty. Betty’s kids that live around here came out on Sunday. They all had a great visit with Oivind.

Jim and Eva Akers were among the many to attend Ruby Whitney’s 100th birthday party in Colorado Springs.

They enjoyed visiting with the family and many other friends.

The Ellicott United Methodist Church will complete their current study book next Sunday, August 4. On the second Sunday, August 11, they will have a potluck dinner and meeting. The United Methodist Women will meet on Monday, August 5, at 2:00 p.m.

Hanover Newsby Neta Day 683-2319

Jerry and Fransisca Shatley have been enjoying a Hawaiian vaca-tion and are due home soon. Their daughter Vanessa and Levi Meaney and family are stationed at Wahiawa. Jerry got sunburned but pictures show Fransisca tanned beautifully. Monday their flight home was cancelled due to Hurricane Flossie so they are enjoy-ing a bit more time there. They have enjoyed the beach, sail board riding, seeing the battleship at Pearl Harbor, and spoiling two absolutely adorable grandchildren.

Hanover Fire Department personnel will be doing Wilderness Training with the Fountain Fire Department next Saturday.

Stephen and Kevin Brandenburg have been enjoying fishing at San Diego’s Lake Jennings Park.

Our community was rocked with sad-ness Saturday morning to learn of the death of Mickey (nee) Christianson’s husband, Danny Alfieri. Condolences go to Mickey, her children and the Christianson family.

The Pat Thurman family and other relatives went to Steamboat Springs over the weekend for the Celebration of Life for their nephew Sean who passed away recently.

Kristen Namminga had the unfortu-nate experience of dropping the cover to their crawl space on her toe one day recently resulting in a broken toe and losing its nail.

Paula Humiston has undergone her first chemotherapy treatment. Please remember to pray for her healing.

Our south western area of Hanover finally received one-half inch of rain Sunday afternoon. It is probably too late to save most of the pasture grass but maybe we will see some green in the form of weeds. We hope to receive more rain soon. Others in the area have received much more moisture and are showing a lot of green pasture.

And finally folks, if you plan to go camping this summer you will be help-ing the environment because that’s nature’s way of saving mosquitoes.

Sympathy is extended to Bea Sey-mour and family on the passing of Bud Seymour this Tuesday morning. Bud was well known at Calhan while working at the Pikes Peak Coop. He and Bea were part of the “big eight”

who loved coming to see old friends at the Hanover Fire Breakfast. I will always remember him pestering me about raising tumbleweeds. He was the brother of Mary Seymour Baker and Mable Seymour McGee.

110 YEARS AGO July 31, 1903, (The Calhan News): A Grand Ball was given by the Woodmen of the World at Ramah. Music was furnished by Wade’s Orchestra. N.O. Conger of McPherson, Kan., is visiting his parents who live on a ranch southeast of Calhan. Being a watchmaker and looking for a location, he considered Calhan a good place to start in the jewelry business. He must have found the location satisfactory as he is still here. An especially good crop of rye is being harvested in the Calhan community. There was plentiful moisture during the summer which made the prospect for all crops good.

100 YEARS AGO July 31, 1913, (The Calhan News): Henry Moss and family, who have been sojourning in Missouri and Kansas for several years, are expected back within a few days, having grown tired of the east and its ways and longing for home in the Calhan community once more. Delmer Wright, with others, went to Colorado Springs Monday to have some dental work done, but Ringling Bros. circus was in town and he couldn’t get by the elephants to visit the dentist. Miss Ruth Spears and Roy Cranor were married in Colorado Springs July 28. C.E. McMillan, second trick operator at the Calhan station, has just purchased the Dr. Lewis homestead southwest of town. “Sporting Bill” Little, the good natured night operator for the Rock Island, has returned to town and is once more a full fledged Calhanite. Bill has turned over a new leaf – doesn’t stay out late at night, drinks nothing stronger than alkali water, and answers to meal-call three times daily.

90 YEARS AGO August 1, 1923, (The Calhan News):

The Sunday School of the Log district took picnic dinner at the Ayers grove Sunday. Some of the boys took a “dip in the lake,” and we learn that one of them narrowly escapted drowning, but was rescued in time, fortunately. (Peyton Notes). Ethel and Marie Sayles and Ted and Emil Pohlson were four of a party who went up the peak Saturday night to see the sun rise from the top. They all reached the top and had a fine night and a pleasant trip, but will not be ready for another such hike soon. (Big Sandy). The hail storm which visited this vicinity Thursday afternoon did a great deal of damage to growing crops, also breaking window lights and kill-ing chickens. Those whose crops were severely hailed were W.C. Metzger, Elmer Classen, Chris McNamara, Clarence Christie, W.C. Knox, Henry Thomason, S.R. Christie, Herman Moenning, Bob Tays, J.F. Yandell, and E.C. Wagoner. (Yoder Items)

70 YEARS AGO August 4, 1943, (The Simla Sun): Dee Wann has purchased John Whyte’s truck, making a fleet of three at pres-ent. Lyman Hass, local dray man, has purchased a 1/2-ton truck to augment his pickup. Bill Stewart from Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., arrived in Simla Friday to spend a short furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O.E. Stewart and family.

60 YEARS AGO July 30, 1953, (Pike View Farmer): John Buss was high bidder on the café and service station equipment offered for sale at auction in Simla Thursday. Ellen Rae Talley, former owner of the goods, plans to move to Limon where she has employment. W.C. Hendrix will hold a public auction at the place located 12 miles south of Simla on county line, on Aug. 6.

50 YEARS AGO August 1, 1963, (Pike View Farm-er): Mr. and Mrs. Billy Gordon and children of Matheson and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Baker and children of Simla went to Cottonwood Lake near Buena Vista Saturday for some lake fishing. Connie Gordon, 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, was wading along the lake shore when she stepped in a deep hole and went out of sight. Floyd Baker, who was nearby, jumped in with his clothes on and brought the girl to safety. The rest of the group were some distance away and didn’t realize what had happened as they thought Floyd had only caught a fish when he started shouting for as-sistance in retrieving the girl. Connie was apparently none the worse after her narrow escape. Considering that

Floyd can’t swim a stroke, his rist and fast actions in saving the small girl’s life were especially commendable. Heavy rains fell in this area Thurs-day, Friday, and Saturday. Amounts varied up to as much as three inches on the Schuler ranch in two days and four inches on the Harold Evetts place over the same period. Hail was heavy on Saturday, especially on the Plunk ranch and in a strip eastward to the Tructon area where it was devastating. (Down Yoder Way).

30 YEARS AGO August 4, 1983, (Ranchland News): As of Sept. 1 the eastern part of El Paso County will have more direct access to emergency first aid, thanks to the Ellicott Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, Penrose Hospital Systems, and A-1 Ambulances. Ellicott received its long awaited for ambulance on Sunday. The Simla Town Council has set a fee of $5 per month for each sewer tap. The 1st annual Livestock Extrava-ganza Day was termed a success by approximately 60 people who took part in the event held July 23 at the El-bert County Fairgrounds in Kiowa. Six educators recently returned from Adams State College in Alamosa after completing six weeks of study to-ward a Masters Degree of Education. Five of the teachers, Sally Babcock, Joyce Eastham, Beverly Goodall, Donna Hoover, and Susan Smith, pres-ently teach at Ellicott School. Wynona Tuten teaches at Calha.

20 YEARS AGO July 29, 1993, (Ranchland News): Over 40 people who own land adjoin-ing the former Rock Island line have purchased the majority of the right of way between Peyton and Limon. The parents of Charles Polhemus and Kathy Miller have announced the engagement of their children. Charles is the son of Eddie and Johnet Polhe-mus of Simla. The parents of the bride-elet are Edward Miller of Colorado Springs and Lydia Broyles of Calhan. Charles and Kathy are 1993 graduates of Big Sandy High School. The Simla Good Samaritan Center is collecing ecipes for publication in a personalized cookbook.

10 YEARS AGO July 31, 2003, (Ranchland News): Jose Rael of Denver and Clyde and Virginia Baker of Ramah announce the engagement of their daughter, Ni-cole Rael, to Justin Allen, son of Jerry and Linda Allen of Greenville, S.C. The couple is planning a Sept. 27, 2003 wedding to be held in Ramah. Matthew Strange welcomes his sister, Isabella AnnaLee Strange, to the household of Phillip and Alexis Strange of Ellicott. She was born July 10, 2003.

Meet Your Neighbor...

Robin Knupp-DownsBy Beth Shelly

No one seems to work harder while maintaining a smile all day than Robin Knupp-Downs, owner and operator of Canyon Trail Grill located in the parking lot just west of the old county courthouse in Kiowa.

From her 6-ft. by 12-ft. trailer, she serves what some claim to be the best burgers in the county (from an unnamed county health inspector), as well as breakfast burritos and sandwiches, tacos, burritos, nachos, a chicken BLT, Mexican chicken sandwiches, grilled (2) cheese sandwiches, salads and some very popular fries.

Her specialty is probably her cheese steak – the Grand Canyon – a combination of sliced grilled beef, sautéed onions, Hatch chilies, Provolone and American cheeses on a grilled hoagie bun.

In fact, chilies is how she got into the food vending business when she tried them, liked them, and began selling them in chili at the Elizabeth Stampede.

She was working at a local bank at the time when she came across a trailer that would be great to sell from. She was not interested in a storefront location.

She began testing recipes on her husband Scott and friends until she came up with a perfected menu of items that she can take and make anywhere.

Testing continues as she and her assistant Briana came up with an idea for fried pickles with a seasoned cornmeal coating, and then there is the pork loin sandwich made with tortilla chip crumbs. Daily specials

like an Asian chicken wrap are common and, chances are if you ask for something not on the menu, she can whip it up pretty quickly.

“There’s a lot of experimenting going on,” she says.

Between the recipe development and outfitting the trailer, it took from august to November 2012 to get ready for her new venture.

The trailer was bare when she bought it. She had to install washable, anti-flame interior walls and tile, a refrigerator, freezer, grill, microwave and fryer – quite a bit for 72 sq. ft.

Today she has regular customers from Kiowa, Elizabeth and Elbert.

Most weekends she is booked throughout the summer, from cowboy mounted shoots and horse reining events in Byers to the Elbert county fair and ElizaBash to auctions, motorcycle rallies and the upcoming campdraft clinics and competition at the Elbert County fairgrounds in August.

Robin has always liked working with people, something that goes back to her early days waitressing.

She and husband Scott moved to Elbert County about six or seven years ago from Georgia. He was in construction, a field she was familiar with having grown up with and moved around quite a bit with her father who was in the trade.

Robin went on to do accounting for construction firms and that is how she and Scott met.

With business down, they moved to Elbert County when he took an IT position with American Furniture Warehouse. Her sister lived in Kiowa at the time, so she was familiar with the area.

The Downs’ children are nearly all of the four-legged variety, from dogs to horses and donkeys with a few chickens in between.

Robin’s love of animals goes back quite a ways, too, from the days when she rescued pets as a child to her time in Georgia when she ran a dog rescue.

She loves horses and recently trucked over 100 bales of hay from Montrose with her husband for displaced Black Forest fire victims.

“I enjoy what I do and that’s what counts!” Robin says.

Canyon Trail Grill is open Mondays through Thursdays from 8 am to 2 pm.

Oil and gas notification, economic development discussed by county commissions, Elizabeth trustees

County approves Front Range Pipeline permitsBy Beth Shelly

Special use and 1041 permits were approved for the Front Range Pipeline project by the Elbert County Board of County Commissioners at their July 24 meeting.

The company will be constructing and installing 36. 3 miles of 16-in. diameter steel pipeline through Elbert County for project owners Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Enterprise Products and dcp Midstream.

Overall, the pipeline will carry about 150,000 barrels per day of compressed natural gas with a capacity of carrying up to 230,000 barrels per day from Weld County to Skullytown, Tex.

In Elbert County, easements have been acquired from primarily private property owners and some public rights of way. It will follow an existing Conoco Phillips pipeline to a great extent with a few diversions to avoid existing erosion problem areas.

Two mainline valves will be located at CR 194 at CR 29 and on the north side of CR 94 approximately one-half mile west of CR 77. A pump house will be located north of Kiowa along the Kiowa Bennett Road on the Garrett property.

Up to 1.8 million gallons of water will be purchased from the Kiowa water system for dust mitigation and up to 3 million gallons of water will come from Kunau Drilling for hydrostatic testing.

Several conditions of approval must be met before construction begins, but the project is anticipated to start in August with completion by the end of October.

A quit claim for a 10-acre parcel of property was approved giving the Elizabeth Fire Protection District a joint training facility with Rattlesnake Fire along CR 166.

In the first of a three-phase project, the site will also be used to add an auxiliary station staffed jointly by the two fire protection districts. In the second phase, the station would be fully staffed and in the third phase the property will become a certified training area for all Elbert County

agencies and training exercises currently being carried out in Douglas County, Elizabeth Fire Chief T.J. Steck said.

Ultimately homeowners within a five-mile radius of the station should see their homeowners insurance go down as ISO ratings are improved.

In financial updates, Commissioner Robert Roland said the county is about $160,000 ahead of where it was in the general fund at the same time last year. “We’re treading water, but or nose is above water,” he said.

Commissioner Larry Ross cautioned that the county has some unbudgeted expenses coming up, including those for the November election where a new process will be in place to use election centers with same-day registration rather than traditional polling places.

With vacancies in the county clerk and recorder position and the election manager position, the county has

contacted the secretary of state which will be offering assistance along with Douglas County in carrying out this year’s elections in Elbert County.

With an anticipated 1 percent decrease in overall taxable property valuations, the county will be bringing in about $70,000 less than it does currently in 2014 and 2015, Commissioner Kurt Schlegel added, saying, “As much as you hear in the news about how the economy is improving, it is not improving in Elbert County.”

Commissioners are considering asking voters in November to repeal a tax exemption for equipment brought into the county to produce goods or services that should bring in additional revenue from the oil and gas industry as well.

In his six-month Public Trustee and Treasurer’s reports, Rick Pettitt

By Beth ShellyIn the second joint meeting held

this year between the Elbert County Board of Commissioners and the Town of Elizabeth Board of Trustees, Elizabeth trustees asked for as much notification of oil and gas activities as possible that are to occur near the town.Commissioner Kurt Schlegel said

that would come as the county sends out requests for referral comments on upcoming land use projects.In explaining why they voted against

the county’s proposed oil and gas regulations, Commissioners Robert Roland said it was self-defeating to not include the use of a memoranda of understanding with major oil and gas projects.Major oil and gas projects include

those that consolidate, market or transport production or production fluids from one or more minor oil and/or gas facility; any water

treatment, recycling, or disposal facility, including associated water storage and pipelines; storage and construction staging yards exceeding 12 months, worker camps and related temporary living facilities; any oil and/or gas facility that does not meet the definition of a minor oil or gas facility; and export or sales pipelines used to transfer oil or gas to third-party transportation pipelines or storage terminals. “I’m convinced this is the most

sound decision I’ve made in my life,” he said.Roland explained how the

memorandum of understanding process would be used to negotiate agreements with oil and gas producers before state applications are made to encourage mitigation of potential environmental, health and safety factors associated with the project.

Rim Top RamblingsBy Beth Shelly

Site plan submitted, approved after initially waivedBy Beth Shelly

After approving a site plan waiver in January for a patio expansion project for the Falcon Lounge on Main Street in Elizabeth behind the Carlson Building, town officials and the owner took a step backwards by seeking and receiving approval for a site plan at the town’s board of trustee meeting on July 23.

The waiver was made to enable the owners, Gene Gregory, John Stumpf and their wives, to obtain building permits for the backyard renovation.

As they proceeded, however, they found more requirements and plan revisions were needed to obtain the permits.

Rumors persisted that the owners were doing what they wanted to do

without notifying the town, however, Gregory brought documentation that the town was notified of changes along the way.

Planner Paul Whelan backed him up in saying, there were not 40 emails between the owners and the town, there were 400.

Several members of the audience came forward in public hearing to support Gregory and the project saying something was needed to keep the town from dying, particularly as more businesses are closing their doors.

A lot line vacation was also approved for the project, which encompasses four lots. Utilities should not cross lot lines, but in this case they did.

Also approved was a trainings request for Sgt. Stremel to attend a public safety leadership development program and a budget calendar for fiscal year 2014.

Four budget workshops open to the public will be held on several Monday evenings beginning at 6:30 pm at town hall, 151 S. Banner St., beginning Aug. 5. The workshops will continue through September, the preliminary budget will be presented to the board on Oct. 8, a public hearing will be held on Nov. 12 and budget approval is slated for Dec. 19.

The next meeting of the Town of Elizabeth Board of Trustees is Tuesday, Aug. 13, beginning at 7 pm at town hall.

Why did Elbert County Commissioners Robert Roland and Kurt Schlegel choose to vote down the proposed oil and gas land use regulations? Several explanations have been offered: the county cannot afford to become embroiled in another lawsuit, especially one from the Attorney General’s Office, the proposed regs exceed state requirements, that we need the economic development that comes with oil and gas to bring the county out of its precarious fiscal state, and we need to let developers know we are open for business.A July 24 email from Commissioner

Roland acknowledged that confusion, saying, “As you know, the (Board of

County Commissioners) BOCC voted down the proposed Oil and Gas Regulation last week. It is my firm belief that this was the best and only course of action for the BOCC to take to accomplish the protections and the benefits of the Oil and Gas opportunities that a likely ahead of us. However, given the complexity of the issue, the lack of understanding about the long-term objectives and meaning of our actions, many citizens and even some elected officials are having a difficult time sorting out the facts about why this, in my opinion was the right decision.

“Because of that, I am dedicating myself in the coming weeks to trying to connect to any citizen that wishes to hear why I believe what I do, to ask questions, debate, etc., this important issue. I believe it’s critically important that I explain the merits of what I think is the right approach in our Oil and Gas future. I will be conducting Town Hall meetings in the county, making myself available to citizens and groups and of course to the media should you wish to participate.”He had that opportunity on July when

he appeared on a lengthy segment at KLZ AM 560 Grassroots Radio. One of the radio hosts provided a telephone number and asked that listeners join the conversation; listeners weren’t able to, however.Asked why the commissioners voted

against the proposed regulations, Roland explained the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) regulates at the state level and will, “get a little testy when you challenge or interfere or frustrate oil and gas regulations at the state level. You have 64 counties and there needs to be some level of consistency at state level.”

Locally, he said, we need to “embrace the need for oil and gas exploration and energy independence and the opportunities that come with that.”Beyond that, he said, counties can

exercise their rights when it comes to surface issues like open pits and using produced water from hydraulic fracing to mitigate dust pollution on our roads.The best way we can do that is by

entering into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with individual operators, he said. “Outside of regulations we can sit down and with an oil and gas driller or company and negotiate an MOU. That’s where you get the conditions the citizens want,” he explained.Well, the idea of an MOU is not

a new one. The COGCC made a recommendation the county head that way earlier in the year, adding they would enforce any MOU approved by both parties.Since then, the planning and an edit

committee have been working to develop draft regulations that do not supersede state regs and developing a template that could be used as a “starting point” in MOU negotiations between the county and oil and gas producers.That is where protections such as

open pits and increased setbacks – measures that exceed state regs, would be negotiated in exchange for an accelerated permitting process. Time is money!Roland continued on KLZ: “It was my determination through a

lot of research and a lot of work and

going to Mesa College to take classes on oil and gas, and meeting with Halliburton and meeting with the oil and gas industry, citizens groups, environmental groups, other county commissioners, we did our homework on this. It became quite clear those oil and gas regulations were in fact going to invite conflict and challenges from the AG, - and we spoke with them, too -- the battles we didn’t need and it also sent a message that we weren’t open for business for oil and gas which we clearly are. “So the process that evolved for

ourselves and places like Arapahoe was an alternative that allows us actually more authority and more ability to protect ourselves by entering outside of our oil and gas regulations a default to the state regulations. Don’t conflict with the state don’t pick that fight that’s going to come out of the hide of our taxpayers and our resources. Go out and sit down with the oil and gas industry and give them a carrot, and an incentive, to agree to conditions that exceed the state oil and gas regulations in the form of an MOU and that’s what we’re doing – what we are considering doing; that’s what Kyle and her staff is bringing to the board as a proposal now and will actually allow us to accomplish more of the protections and the things that our citizens and we want than we would have under our own set of regulations that would have been restricted by the state.In a meeting with industry, a

representative from the Attorney General’s office and another from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation

reported foreclosures are down 64 percent from the same period last year. Foreclosure sales are down 43 percent and foreclosure withdrawals are increasing.

Through June of this year, the general fund was about $220,000 more than it was at the same time in 2012, but that does not included unbudgeted expenses the county is anticipating to come in, he added.

A 12.5-mile chip seal project was awarded to Foothills Paving & Maintenance for $497,100. The project will cover paved portions of Elbert Road, Singing Hills Road and CR 13.

■ PIPELINE From Page 16Need for the chip seal project,

expected to extend the life of those paved roads by five years, was determined as part of the county’s preventive maintenance plan and evaluation of traffic volume and maintenance costs, Public Works Director Ed Ehmann said.

Also approved was appointment of Barbara Marin-Worley, director of consumer fraud protection in the 18th Judicial District’s district attorney’s office, to the Adult Protection Team; a commercial propane gas sales agreement with Suburban Propane for the Elbert County Department of Health and Human Services Adult

Protection Team; a collaborative services agreement with Arapahoe, Lincoln and Douglas counties for a foster care independence program; and a state-funded TDM contract with Heather Harcourt to help reduce the number of out-of-home placements for children in Elbert County.

Director of Community & Development Services Kyle Fenner announced she will be promoting the upcoming campdraft clinics and competition on a six-minute segment on Channel 9 KUSA News on Aug. 5 as part of a feature on the tourism opportunities listed by the East Central Council of Local Governments.

In exchange, producers could go through an accelerated land use permitting process, reducing the time for obtaining permits from up to six months to perhaps four to six weeks, he said.Also on the table for discussion

was a potential intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the town and the county to assure compatible development within a three-mile area

outside town boundaries.The commissioners said they were

open to an IGA, particularly if it helps to encourage economic development.Ideas for economic development

include a hotel, demand for which should increase as oil and gas activity within the county increases, Roland said.Revenue from those operations

could help the town and the county in building interconnecting trails, schools and more, he added.While the county is not in the position

to raise its sales tax, commissioners are looking at asking voters to repeal a tool tax on equipment put in place within the county and possibly increasing the residential mill levy to raise revenue, Commissioner Schlegel said.

Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), concerns were very few; primarily stating that our proposed regs were duplicating what was already required by the state.The proposed regs in their final

version, minus the memorandum of understanding template, clearly stated nothing within superseded state regulations.So what was the problem and why

were those regs turned down by commissioners Roland and Schlegel and only supported by Commissioner Larry Ross?One appears to be that the MOU

template and regs did not allow for the use of an MOU with “major” projects. Beyond that, was it industry influence? Tea Party ideology? Fear?Maybe it was a combination of all

of the above. Most likely it is a case of economics.Commissioner Roland repeated

a phrase he used throughout his campaign for office in meeting with the Town of Elizabeth Board of Trustees when he said, “I’m for oil, I’m for gas and I’m for water and I promise we’ll get this right.”Regardless, quite a number of

people – Republicans and Democrats alike – took that vote as an affront to the voice, and in some cases the

expertise, of the people.Commissioner Ross warned that two

people should not be in the position to make land use decisions for the entire county, especially when the planning commissioner recommended approval for the proposed regs on a 9-0 vote and consensus among editing committee members had been made between residents with diverse opinions.An online petition is circulating

asking Commissioner Roland to reconsider his vote and to support the proposed regs. Some residents made inquiries with the Colorado Dept. of Local Affairs about putting the proposed regs to the voters in November. It turns out commissioners are the only ones with that power when it comes to local regulations.One misstatement Elbert County

Planner asked readers to be aware of is that when Commissioner Schlegel said at the June 26 meeting that he wanted a process for obtaining a memorandum of understanding brought to the commissioners for consideration at their Aug. 14 meeting, he forgot that zoning-related issues need to first go before the planning commission.Time for public hearing notices is

also required, so that request might come later than sooner.

The county treasurer is working on a payment schedule to repay property tax revenue owed by the county to the town. That revenue was mistakenly distributed to other special districts, including the library district, the school district and the Elizabeth Fire Protection District.Commissioner Schlegel indicated

the commissioners are reviewing a resolution draft that would prohibit the retail sale of medical and recreational marijuana, and will be considering ideas to form an umbrella water authority within the county for special districts.The two governing boards plan to

continue their discussions on items of joint interest at an Aug. 26 meeting at the county courthouse beginning at 6 pm.

Determinations of Water Right

BEFORE THE COLORADO GROUND WATER COMMISSION

KIOWA BIJOU DESIGNATED GROUND WATER BASIN – ELBERT COUNTYTAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Section 37-90-107(7), C.R.S., Richard J. and Barbara R. Scaduto (hereinafter “applicant”) has applied for determinations of water right to allow the withdrawal of designated ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills, Arapahoe, Denver, Lower Dawson and Upper Dawson aquifers underlying 40.0 acres generally described as the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 4, Township 8 South, Range 64 West of the 6th P.M. The applicant claims ownership of this land and control of the ground water in the above described aquifer under this property. The ground water from these allocations will be used on the described property for the following beneficial uses: irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, stock watering, fire protection, fish and wildlife and sanitary. The maximum allowable annual amount of ground water in the aquifer underlying the described property will be allocated.In accordance with Section 37-90-107(7), C.R.S., and the Designated Basin Rules, 2 CCR 410-1, the Colorado Ground Water Commission shall allocate ground water from the above aquifers based on ownership of the overlying land and an aquifer life of one hundred years. A preliminary evaluation of the application by the Commission Staff finds the annual amount of water available for allocation from the aquifers underlying the above-described property to be 12.3 acre-feet for the Laramie-Fox Hills, 15.0 acre-feet for the Arapahoe, 16.3 acre-feet for the Denver, 7.60 acre-feet for the Lower Dawson, and 15.6 acre-feet for the Upper Dawson, subject to final staff evaluation.

PEYTON, Colo. (July 29, 2013) – Falcon School District 49 students begin the 2013-2014 school year this week, with all elementary school students, and sixth and ninth grade students, heading back to class Thursday, Aug. 1. All remaining middle and high school students return Friday, Aug. 2. Peter Hilts, chief education officer,

will begin his first school year with the district at Meridian Ranch Elementary School, where he’ll meet, greet and high-five students as they head into their first day of school. Hilts will visit each of the district’s 22 schools throughout the first few days of classes.The new year will begin with

several new principals, including

Kim Mariotti who is taking over as principal at Springs Ranch Elementary School. She previously served as the school’s assistant principal. The district welcomes Ron Hamilton at Sand Creek High School, Cheryl Goodyear-Degeorge at Falcon High School, Jeff Moulton at Stetson Elementary School and Michelle Slyter at Evans International Elementary School to their roles as principal this year.New technologies will also

Falcon Elementary School is enhancing its technology program, increasing the use of tablets throughout grade levels and reinforcing its focus as a school of technology.

Peyton School News

Take a moment to consider this alarming fact: Each year more than 1 million American teens fail to gradu-ate from high school, according to the Editorial Projects in Education Re-search Center. The consequences of this staggering statistic are felt not just throughout their lives, but also across our nation.

A host of research shows that drop-outs are more likely to develop health problems, live in poverty and be vic-tims of crime. The problem impacts our economy as well, costing as much as $209 billion in lost taxes and higher government expenditures over the lifetimes of those who fail to graduate, according to research by the Teachers College, Columbia University, Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education.

“Students do not fall behind be-cause they lack ability, intelligence or initiative,” says Jim Clark, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). “Often, it’s the lack of access to basic school tools and quality after-school programming that holds children back. Access to those tools can help ensure they achieve aca-demic success and, eventually, a great future.”

Now, you can help, too. Through September, BGCA’s annual Tools for Back-to-School campaign offers two ways to put much-needed school sup-plies in the hands of Club youth. First, take the quiz at GreatFutures.org/BacktoSchool, where right answers earn supplies for Boys & Girls Clubs. You can also drop off school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils and backpacks in collection bins at Disney Stores, Michael’s and Staples. Local Boys & Girls Clubs will distribute the donated supplies to Club members in their communities.

“Our annual supply drive is just one of the ways our more than 4,000 Clubs help our Club members gradu-ate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a 21st-century career,” Clark says. “We are grateful for the public’s support of these efforts.”

Help give kids the tools they need to succeed in school
