Saturday stabbing One hurt, one charged

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

An altercation at a west side bar Saturday morning left one man hospitalized with stab wounds and another in custody, according to a spokesperson from the Archuleta County Sheriff’s Department.

John Weiss, Archuleta County undersheriff and public information officer, said Archuleta County sheriff’s deputies arrested 26-year-old Grant Mildenberger of Pagosa Springs Saturday afternoon, following a fight at the Buffalo Inn bar on North Pagosa Boulevard that resulted in the stabbing of 32-year-old Holden Scott also of Pagosa Springs.

Mildenberger was charged with first-degree assault and was released on a $5,000 bond. Scott was transported to Mercy Regional Medical Center.

According to Weiss, Archuleta County sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Pagosa Springs Police Department responded at about 1:30 a.m. to a call of a fight at the bar, and sheriff’s detectives Carl Smith and Rich Valdez are investigating the case.

Weiss said a security video tape shows the altercation in detail, and Smith and Valdez will review the tape and conduct witness interviews.

Mildenberger will be arraigned today.

PAWSD fees stir debate

By Chuck McGuire

Staff Writer

Along with another Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District monthly meeting, Tuesday night brought another packed house and vigorous, sometimes heated, debate over impact fees.

As builders and business owners — one by one — voiced heartfelt concern over the mounting effects of growth-related charges imposed on new development, PAWSD board members grappled with articulating district philosophy and its approach to establishing “a fair and equitable” fee structure. Specifically, the PAWSD Capital Investment Fee and its Water Resource Fee component were at issue.

To offset costs associated with expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure to meet growing demand, PAWSD requires a Capital Investment Fee (CIF) on any new construction or altered use of improved real estate. For residential properties, the amount is based on square footage, with a minimum of 1,000 square feet considered. Commercial real estate is charged $2,575 per equivalent unit (EU), with one EU being considered nearly equal to the water use of a single household.

The Water Resource Fee (WRF) component is charged per EU for residential or commercial property, and is applied to the cost of developing additional raw water resources, including storage, treatment and delivery systems. At present, the fee is $7,210.

Because commercial properties, especially food establishments, generally use more water, they typically command much higher capital investment and water resource fees. So too, do multi-unit complexes such as apartment buildings, townhomes or retail strip malls. Therein, lies the current problem.

For instance, if a 10-unit commercial complex is considered just 10 total EUs (one per unit), it would be subject to a CIF of $25,750 and a WRF of $72,100, or a total of $97,850. Add in thousands of dollars in tap fees, mainline extension fees and service connection fees, and considerable costs accrue quickly. Never mind existing PAWSD policy, which requires payment before water service is provided.

In today’s sluggish economy, many local builders and investors simply can’t afford to pay such vast sums of money up front. Instead, a growing number are building and establishing businesses elsewhere, or abandoning development plans altogether. Meanwhile, owners of existing commercial properties struggle to fill longstanding vacancies with tenants willing or able to pay up.

Tuesday’s regular PAWSD meeting was another in a series of well-attended gatherings in which community and board frustration seemed glaringly obvious.

Upon recognition by board chair Karen Wessels, Don King of King Capital exclaimed, “Businesses can’t afford to pay these fees. Businesses are leaving town and many are not coming. With higher fees and taxes, we’re creating a ghost town here.”

Fred Schmidt, local businessman and president of the San Juan Water Conservancy District Board of Directors said, “Commercial properties are paying roughly four times what residential properties do in taxes and impact fees. Maybe we should look at cutting fees in half. I don’t know if that’s fair, but we should try and give commercial a break. After all, PAWSD will get revenue from more commercial activity and increased taxes.”

When another man questioned why PAWSD growth projections and anticipated Dry Gulch Reservoir costs were so much higher than those of the town or state, Schmidt explained that state growth projections over the past decade were off by 40 percent. He also discounted the accuracy of town and state reservoir studies, claiming they considered only the cost of building a new dam and not a related treatment plant and delivery systems.

Pagosa Realtor Mike Heraty asked why the PAWSD board seems unable to justify costs connected to developing Dry Gulch. He continued, by suggesting PAWSD “went around voters” while borrowing $11.2 million to buy land for the future impoundment.

As Wessels took offense to Heraty’s comments, then attempted to explain how voters will yet decide the eventual size and total cost of the reservoir, Heraty illustrated his frustration by leaving the room.

As the tone of discourse rose and fell, a few constructive comments came forth and captured the attention of most on hand.

One participant suggested a new independent study that might more accurately reflect growth projections based on current economic conditions. Others suggested a possible reduction or deferral of fees for a time — “kind of a growth stimulus,” as they described it. Yet others asked for amortization of fees much like the town of Pagosa Springs is considering with its impact fees.

Meanwhile, PAWSD board members took turns explaining steps already taken and others under consideration that should ease the burden on commercial investors during difficult times.

Director Bob Huff said, “I hope we are past defending the reservoir and Water Resource Fee. It took years to arrive at the numbers and it involved long hard studies.”

Huff readily acknowledged the hardships befalling consumers, especially commercial builders and investors, and suggested everyone put their energy into finding fair and equitable solutions to assessing and collecting necessary fees. And, as many agreed, he insisted the community plan ahead for future water needs.

While Tuesday’s meeting offered few real answers, groundbreaking dialog eventually surfaced, even if briefly. Nevertheless, spirited, sometimes heated, discussions will likely continue before meaningful solutions ease consumer pain, while affording PAWSD the capital necessary to provide future services.

Supporters circulate Home Rule petition

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

A grassroots effort to bring Home Rule government to Archuleta County has officially begun with the county clerk’s approval of a petition that, if successful, will put the question of forming a Home Rule charter commission on the November ballot.

According to Archuleta County Clerk June Madrid, the petition requires 435 signatures from registered Archuleta County voters, and its circulation marks the first step in a multi-step process required for Home Rule to reach fruition in Archuleta County.

For example, assuming the successful completion of the petition, voters will have a choice on the November ballot whether or not to authorize the formation of a Home Rule Charter writing commission. In addition, the ballot will have the names of charter commission candidates whose charge, if elected, will be to draft a Home Rule charter.

The charter commission would be comprised of 11 members and charter commission candidate materials will be available from the county clerk in late July should the petition receive the necessary number of signatures.

Again, assuming the successful completion of the petition and voters approving the formation of a charter writing commission and electing its members, the charter commission would then draft a Home Rule charter which would ultimately be subject to voter approval.

When asked about completing the petition with the requisite number of signatures, Home Rule Study Committee member Teddy Herzog said, “I don’t think that is very hard to do. But the question is, come November, do people know what Home Rule is?”

Home Rule is part process and part policy, and helping voters understand both facets of the concept is a challenge Herzog readily acknowledges.

Herzog estimated he and his Home Rule Study Committee members (about 10 people in all) need to reach at least 3,000 voters with their message. To that end, the committee has given a number of presentations to groups of about 10 to 30 people — including one to the Board of County Commissioners — but Herzog said they will need to expand their efforts and committee membership for the charter commission ballot question to succeed.

“We need to somehow ramp up our ability to communicate the info to a large number of people,” Herzog said. “Obviously, to get the job done, the committee needs to grow and grow soon,” Herzog said.

Educational challenges aside, Herzog said he and his fellow committee members think the time is right for Home Rule in Archuleta County.

“If we look at current problems in the county, at the gut level, they (citizens) understand something is wrong,” Herzog said. “The feeling of our committee is, ‘If not now, then when?’” Herzog said.

What is Home Rule?

In 1972, the state Legislature introduced Home Rule as an option for counties to change and streamline their structures such that they can address their particular needs in ways their voters find most agreeable, but with one caveat: Home Rule does not exempt counties from their statutory responsibilities.

According to the legislation, restructuring under Home Rule occurs through the writing of a Home Rule charter which could be written in myriad ways. For example, the charter could retain all elected officials, or it could scrap them all, making them hired positions instead. As an alternative, a charter could be written such that some elected positions are retained while others are hired. How the restructuring occurs is ultimately up to voters.

The object of Home Rule is to modernize the structure of the county government, to bring it up to date, and make it more flexible and efficient in serving the people’s needs.

Home Rule: The Process

The Home Rule process is initiated in one or two ways. The county commissioners can pass a resolution to call a public election or, lacking this, “upon the submission of a petition not less than five percent of the registered voters of the county, requesting that a charter commission be established, the board of county commissioners shall call an election to be held on or before the next general election for the purpose of determining whether or not a charter commission shall be elected.” (Colorado State Constitution: 30-11-502)

 Actually, the commissioners would call two elections.  The first would be to determine whether or not to elect a charter commission; the second to choose 11 names from a list of candidates who have filed by petition to serve — without compensation — as the members of that commission providing the first election succeeds.  Those 11 who receive the most votes will be the ones to draft and present a Home Rule Charter for the citizens to consider in a future election. It should be emphasized that establishing a charter commission means nothing more than that the citizens have agreed to study Home Rule.

 A charter commission has 240 days from its first meeting to do a comprehensive study of the county government and organize the ways they agree upon to improve and reorganize the structure.

In this time, they shall have held at least three public hearings on their work before presenting the charter to the BoCC. If they can’t accomplish this in that amount of time, they will be recessed for 90 days and then recalled to complete the work. If within 90 days this second attempt fails, they are still unable to present a charter, the commission will be dissolved and no new proposal may be presented for one year.

 If the charter commission is successful and does present a charter to the BoCC, then a public election will be called for the adoption or rejection of their work.  If the voters approve  it, the charter will become effective the following Jan. 1. Very abbreviated, this is the Home Rule process.

Third-grade CSAP scores reviewed

By Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writer

The third-grade CSAP reading test results are in, and the percentage of local students reading at a proficient or advanced level dropped 10 points from last year.

Assistant Superintendent Bill Esterbrook presented the Archuleta School District 50 Joint Board of Education with a report at the May 13 meeting, stating that 73 percent of students are reading at grade level, down from 83 percent last year. This is the lowest percentage of third-grade students reading at grade level in the past 11 years; the 11-year average is 78 percent.

Despite the drop in the local school district, the students are still above the state average of 70 percent. According to Esterbrook, third-grade CSAP reading scores also dropped in Bayfield, Durango and Ignacio.

Esterbrook said that although he and elementary school principal Kate Lister had higher hopes for the results, they “weren’t surprised.

“CSAP continues to be controversial. Reading First continues to be controversial,” said Esterbrook. “It’s a very large undertaking for us, with a lot of work yet to be done.”

The test in third grade is the first CSAP test taken by students in the district. The students are tested in four areas of reading: standard comprehension, fiction and poetry, nonfiction, and vocabulary. Esterbrook said the majority of students scored lower on questions in which they were required to write answers to questions, rather than choose a multiple choice answer.

“We don’t do a good job writing about what we’ve read,” said Esterbrook, “and that’s incredibly important to any reading program.”

Esterbrook said this decline raises many questions, including whether or not the Reading First program works.

“I’m going to tell you, I really don’t know,” said Esterbrook, in regard to this question. “There’s not enough information.”

According to Esterbrook, fluctuations in scores are normal for a smaller district, since children moving in or leaving the schools may have a greater impact on percentages.

“There’s more than that 73 percent. There’s a lot more going on,” said Esterbrook. “There’s a lot at stake, and we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

One step, said Esterbrook, is becoming more proactive in the community to ensure that students entering kindergarten know the key elements of literacy.

Lister said that the district has been “busting open the box, and revamping the business of how we do the business,” to work with parents and community members to help improve students’ literacy.

“Getting kids ready for kindergarten is a community effort,” said Lister.

Council grants vested rights on downtown properties

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

At its May 6 meeting, town council set a precedent for future development in Pagosa Springs by granting five years of vested rights to BootJack Management Company (BMC) on several properties it owns in the downtown area.

Vested rights, enabled by Colorado Revised Statute (C.R.S.) Article 68, Title 24, grants an approved project additional time to begin construction with assurances that local government will not amend its decision on the project during that period.

By council resolution, the BMC properties — approved for development by the council in November 2006 — can essentially remain in stasis for three years with development plans for those properties guaranteed by the town for that period of time. Vesting by the C.R.S. is usually for a period of three years. However, by a provision of the same statute which allows for the discretion of municipalities regarding the time frame for vested rights, BMC was granted an extension, meaning that its properties have approval to sit undeveloped for a period of up to five years.

When council first heard the BMC resolution requesting vested rights at its April 1 meeting, former council member Tony Simmons provided council’s only dissenting voice, noting the properties at issue were the sites of demolitions dating back at least three years prior. Simmons added that with council’s approval, those lots could sit undeveloped for a potential total of eight years, doing little to invite improvement of the downtown area.

Mayor Ross Aragon however, is not so pessimistic about the council’s action.

“It doesn’t make sense for a developer to let properties just sit there and not do anything with them.” Aragon said. And he added that with the economic downturn, “It only makes sense to give developers a little leeway,” to allow latitude to decide when the time is right to go forward with development.

Council member and planning commission board member Angela Atkinson agreed with the mayor.

“At this time, it makes sense,” she said. “In this economic climate, we want to see quality development downtown.”

Atkinson also disagreed with Simmons’ assessment. “The logic that properties will just sit without being developed doesn’t hold and in reality, the converse is true — with vested rights having improved the value of the product, there is an enhanced probability that something will happen to it.”

With a unanimous vote on May 6, council approved the BMC request on second reading, for both vested rights and for the extension of those rights from three to five years. As Aragon and Atkinson noted, vested rights eliminate some of the pressure investors might feel on a project constrained by normal time limits. Neither Aragon, Atkinson, nor other members of the council voiced concern that granting those rights opens the door for further delays in downtown development and in fact, passed the resolution with confidence that granting such rights illustrates to town council’s willingness to work with developers to mitigate risk in future development.

Council meets again Thursday, May 15 at noon in council chambers.

Slides breaks gas line, damage repaired

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

A landslide on the East Fork drainage of the San Juan River sheared an 8-inch natural gas pipeline May 2 and 4.

The slide continues to move toward the San Juan River, and county emergency services personnel and staff from the Forest Service and Excel Energy Corporation — the pipeline operator — are actively monitoring its progress.

The slide is located in the San Juan National Forest about two miles east of U.S. 160 along the East Fork Road. The East Fork Road (National Forest System Road 667) is currently closed for the season, however the Forest Service is issuing a special order closing the area east of the East Fork Campground and the closure gate and continuing 4.7 miles to the westernmost boundary of the private property bisected by NFSR 667.

“The ruptured line provided the first indicator of the slide,” said Phyllis Wheaton of the U.S. Forest Service’s Pagosa Ranger District Office. “The slide has become more significant since then, but it is moving at a slow rate.”

According to an Archuleta County Press release, Excel Energy crews arrived on site Friday to repair the gas line, and they remain in the area to monitor, maintain and repair the line as necessary.

Karin Kohake, special projects manager for Archuleta County, described the gas line as a “redundancy line” that serves areas from the San Luis Valley to Vail.

According to Forest Service staff, the slide is the result of natural geological changes, and is not unusual for the area. For example, a similar slide event occurred in 2005, and also ruptured a gas line. In addition, the Jackson Mountain area, also located east of Pagosa Springs along U.S. 160, is prone to slides that can damage water supply lines that feed the Pagosa Springs area.

Becca Smith, district hydrologist, for the Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest said, “This slide has been periodically active over the years. The movement this spring has been greater than it has been for the past several years. Currently, the slide is moving downhill to the river. The river is eroding the slide material as it reaches the river. The current rate of movement is not fast enough to dam the river. In order for the slide to dam the river, something would have to change within the slide to cause the speed of movement to increase dramatically. While this is possible, it is not typical for this type of slide.”

Planning commission approves Springs Resort project

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

The Town of Pagosa Springs Planning Commission heard and approved the sketch plan application for an expansion of The Springs Resort, a proposal that could cost $250 million and take 10 years to complete.

Presented by architects Tracy Reynolds and Courtney King of Reynolds and Associates at the planning commission’s May 13 meetiang, the sketch plan illustrated a multi-phased project proposing the development of six parcels with mixed uses. The first phase of the expansion — a 29-room hotel — has already been approved by town council and construction is expected to begin on that project early next week. The new hotel will be located near the San Juan River, just west of the existing Springs Resort lobby building.

The entire proposed expansion, spreading south and west of the existing Springs Resort complex and utilizing approximately 31.7 acres, would eventually include retail and residential spaces, almost 200 part-time residences (timeshares, townhomes and condominiums), an additional 300 hotel rooms and recreational facilities.

According to Reynolds, all aspects of the proposal conform to the town’s Comprehensive Plan for mixed-use development. Furthermore, the architects claim that the wetlands along the San Juan River and adjacent to the Springs Resort property would not only be enhanced by the development (The Springs Resort proposes improvements to those areas) but would serve to showcase those areas. In addition Reynolds said, the proposed expansion has been designed to meet the “Gold Certification” for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. King said the project would meet LEED credentials for Gold Certification with a minimum of 29 credits, although the overall project could accrue as many as 37 credits.

With approval by the planning commission, the sketch plan for the proposed expansion will go before town council at its June 3 meeting.

School district officals to consider security questions

By Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writer

In his report to the Archuleta School District 50 Joint Board of Education at the May 13 meeting, Superintendent Mark DeVoti discussed the safety of schools in the district and announced plans to send David Hamilton, high school principal, to the Safe Schools, Healthy Students and Technology Conference in Escanaba, Mich. June 13-14.

DeVoti and other teachers recently attended a presentation on safe schools in Durango by Lt. Col. David Grossman, an expert on the causes of violent crimes. DeVoti said some aspects of school safety mentioned at the presentation, such as the positioning of armed guards in schools, are “considerations we’ve never had before.”

Pagosa Springs Junior High School Principal Chris Hinger, who also attended the presentation in Durango, said it “brought to me a sense of urgency.

“Do we need to wait before we have a tragedy closer to home than Bailey before we have to think about this?” asked Hinger.

“Although we don’t want to talk about an armed guard, we live in a society where this is a real threat,” Hinger added.

In other school board news:

• The board approved the nonrenewal of contracts for four teachers: Christine Smejkal, elementary; Kristin Hentschel, elementary; Tom Meyer, intermediate; and Kelley Simonson, high school.

Correction

Ranson resigns from Citizens Financial Advisory Task Force

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

Citizens’ Financial Advisory Task Force member and District 1 county commissioner candidate John Ranson announced his resignation from the task force in a press release Thursday.

“I find it increasingly difficult to fulfill my obligation as a member of the Task Force and at the same time actively campaign for the office of County Commissioner. My role as a candidate for County Commissioner demands that I be able to discuss all issues with the public in an open and direct manner. However, as a member of the Task Force I feel some constraints in my ability to candidly communicate to the public my concerns relating to specific financial issues. I cannot permit my candidacy to impact the important work of the Task Force in their role as advisors and counselors to the BoCC and County Administration; therefore, I must step down,” Ranson writes.

The Archuleta County Board of County Commissioners appointed Ranson and his fellow task force members in June 2007 to help the county through the brunt of financial crisis. And although the worst of the county’s financial difficulties are arguably over, the task force has continued working as a financial advisory group and remains an integral part of the county’s financial management apparatus.

With Ranson’s departure, the board may choose to appoint a new member to take Ranson’s place, and a similar scenario may soon unfold with task force member Marion Francis.

Francis, like Ranson, has served on the task force since its inception, and like Ranson, Francis is a contender for a commissioner’s seat in the November election. Francis is running as an unaffiliated candidate in the District 2 race.

Because Francis is not facing a sitting commissioner in the District 2 race, he said he feels less pressure to resign immediately from his post, particularly when the board and county administration appear due to explore various options to keep the task force membership fresh and to replace members as they step down.

The task force was appointed June 19, 2007 and the members agreed to serve one-year terms.

Chase Regester Memorial Scholarships awarded

By Lisa Scott

Special to The SUN

Misha J. Garcia and Stephanie R. Zenz have each been awarded the Chase Regester Memorial Scholarship and will each receive $1,300 for the 2008-09 academic year.

This scholarship is designed to honor the memory of Charles L. Regester III — “Chase” — (May 29, 1986–Aug. 2, 2006) who was raised on a local ranch and spent his childhood and youth involved in 4-H, rodeos and ranch life. He graduated from Pagosa Springs High School in May 2005 and was pursuing ranching as a career. Chase loved animals, the great outdoors, his friends and family and had a great sense of humor and a “whipping and spurring” approach to life.

This scholarship was endowed by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lindner to honor Chase and his family for living and preserving the history and traditions of the American West. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Russell, Jr. added to that endowment.

Misha Garcia spent her childhood participating in a variety of 4-H project and club activities and spent her youth on her grandfather’s ranch in Coyote Park with her cousins and other family members. “Being in 4-H for so long taught me responsibility, time management and leadership skills, which I know I will use to succeed in my future,” stated Garcia. During her teenage years, she has worked in the Headstart program, park fun program, as a tutor with the Archuleta County Education Center at the elementary school and done lots of babysitting. It’s no wonder that she plans to study elementary education at Mesa State College in the fall. Garcia also maintains a 3.4 GPA, has a variety of high school and volunteer activities and has exhibited her leadership ability in both 4-H and her church youth group.

Stephanie Zenz moved to Pagosa Springs in fifth grade and got involved in 4-H immediately. She has mostly been involved in the livestock program, raising rabbit, pig and goat and winning many honors with the livestock and several top honors for her showmanship skills. Additionally, she has held every leadership office in 4-H clubs and council and traveled to many 4-H conferences. “Participating in 4-H has been essential for my everyday learning. This program has instilled a variety of great aspects within me, but it is my job to continue to use them now and in my future,” stated Zenz. High school has been filled playing volleyball and soccer and running on the cross-country team, and she has been in many school plays. While being a student, working and volunteering, Zenz maintains a 3.8 gpa. Most notably, Zenz is passionate about art and has become the caliber of an artist to enroll in the art department at the University of Arizona in the fall.

This scholarship is designed to support a student pursuing post-secondary education of any variety which can include university, college, community college, technical, business, vocational, agricultural or ranch training program. The basic requirement for any scholarship applicant is that they have participated in rodeo, 4-H, FFA or have agriculture or ranching background and upbringing during their high school years.


Home school students build homes and hope in Mexico

By Michelle Smith

Special to the SUN

In early April, 15 home-schooled students and their parents headed south from Pagosa Springs to sunny Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, by way of Phoenix, Ariz.

These members of Pagosa Area Christian Home Educators did not, however, go to join the throngs of spring breakers relaxing on the beach or hitting the shops and vendors. They made the trip to fulfill a yearlong goal of building a house for a needy family, and to pass out food, clothing, shoes and soccer balls. High school student Sawyer Smith, who has been to Puerto Peñasco twice before, anxiously looked forward to a weekend of service, explaining, “Even though the people there have almost nothing, they seem happier than many Americans who have everything.”

To make their goal become a reality, the students had to earn $2,500 to cover the cost of the building materials for a 12 x 24 structure on a concrete slab with glass windows and locking doors. They also needed to earn sufficient money to help with meals and housing once in Mexico. After selling hundreds of boxes of candy at Christmas time, and thousands of homemade tamales over Super Bowl Weekend, the Mexico Fund was steadily growing. Money from a church lunch was added to the pot, along with donations from Centerpoint’s Missions Committee and private individuals. Finally, a large gift came from “Sandy,” who runs a gas station convenience store just outside the Mexican border. Sandy solicited change from customers for her “Build-a-House-Fund” in a babywipes tub for over a year. What a privilege it was for the Pagosans to meet this kind woman and personally thank her for the generous donation. After buying snacks and drinks for the road, everyone’s change went back into Sandy’s ever-present tub.

Once in Mexico, the P.A.C.E. members gathered background information about the family receiving the new house. The father, Poncho, recently completed a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, staying clean for over two years. A reward for his sobriety came in the form of Poncho’s family moving to the top of the housing list when vandals stole nearly all their possessions, their front door, and even the roof off their dwelling.

The hardworking men, women, and students from Pagosa received a reward of their own as they labored in the scorching sun and wind. Witnessing this father’s shining eyes and appreciative heart is a memory that will last a lifetime.

While their new home was given a coat of donated orange paint, the frail looking mother, Lora, sat in the shade continually fanning flies off her baby. Lora was surrounded by her four other children and numerous nieces and nephews, most of whom seemed resigned to simply let the flies crawl all over them. Even though she seemed somewhat overwhelmed, Lora quietly prompted her oldest children to help the workers whenever a task presented itself. Later in the day, this family huddled together in awe as furniture, rugs, decorations, clothing, food, shoes, toys, and even a much-loved soccer ball were presented one-by-one.

Eleven-year-old Maddy Davey, the youngest member of the Pagosa group, spent her only free hours of the long weekend in the Red Cross Medical Facility after having an extremely painful encounter with a stingray. Maddy stated the highlight of the trip was giving first the house, and then all the other gifts to this very needy family. She recognized that their lives were “totally changed in just one day.”

Home schooling mother and president of P.A.C.E., Cathy McIver, spearheaded a quilt making project that resulted in this Mexican family also being presented with a beautiful hand-stitched quilt. Lora listened intently as Chris Smith, a builder in Pagosa who also teaches the Spanish II class at the P.A.C.E. Friday-Class Co-Op, pointed to square after square in the quilt with embroidered names of each family involved in building the home. He went on to explain in Spanish that the quilt was a reminder of the group’s love and continued prayers. Finally, a gift of candles caused another surge of gratitude in Poncho’s family. Electricity and running water will not be available to their housing area for a long time to come.

For 10 years, the Association of International Ministries has partnered with individuals and churches to bring help and hope to impoverished people in Mexico and South America. In Puerto Peñasco, A.I.M. specifically works with Templo la Hermosa and other local agencies and ministries to reach the blighted neighborhoods surrounding the dump. The ministry’s work centers on the desire to get these families out of desperate situations and into daily, independent living by the love and grace of God.

When the lumber and supplies for Poncho’s house were delivered Friday evening before the next day of building, the project leader from A.I.M., Bert Hunt, discovered the wrong sized 2x4s had been ordered. This was no accident, but actually providence at work. As everyone busied themselves at the building site the following morning, a Mexican mother and her two small daughters walked up the dusty driveway arriving with flushed cheeks and sweaty brows. They were welcomed by Michele Smith, Chris’s wife, before Gloria wasted no time using her fluent English to humbly explain her presence. A neighbor had urged Gloria to “go talk to those Americans; they are the ones who really help families in need.”

Gloria and her daughters, Martina, 4, and Lupita, 3, along with her husband, Manuel, and an adopted grandfather, Chewie, were in great need. Living on a dirt hill at the outskirts of the neighborhood, their relatively tidy plot was surrounded by trash and debris. Their only shelter from the harsh desert elements was a makeshift three-sided tent made of broken wooden pallets and plastic tarps. Chronic health issues, thievery, and other legalities, had left this family, having already suffered the loss of two daughters to early deaths and one son to a kidnapping, with few possessions and hardly any money, food, or water. Their prospects were bleak and their predicament was dire. Sizing up the situation, Chris decided on immediate action.

Manuel stayed behind to protect what little was left of their property, while Gloria, her girls, and Chewie were taken to the church, Templo la Hermosa. Several groups from the Phoenix area were helping to put on a Children’s Festival where persons could be screened for vision needs and given donated eyeglasses, along with a free meal and fun games and activities for the children. Little Martina and Lupita played to their heart’s content and were loved on by the volunteers while their mother and Chewie both received much-needed eyeglasses. Chewie brought tears to the eyes of many as he held up a small Bible from his shirt pocket and then pointed to his new glasses. He was so happy that he would now be able to read his Bible. With a smile of her own, Gloria explained how one night in their dark shelter she had accidentally stepped on her glasses, breaking them beyond use. A simple accident that most Americans would take in stride greatly hindered Gloria’s jewelry making business, further depriving her family of income. With her new glasses, Gloria could once again make beautiful necklaces. However, she would also need to walk the many miles to the tourist beach areas to sell her wares with two little girls in tow, fighting her asthma all the way.

By this time, Chris had introduced Gloria to key leaders in the A.I.M. organization who also recognized the immediacy of the situation. Bert drove Gloria around town purchasing a large barrel for water storage, as well as bags and boxes of fresh food and staples. Meanwhile, the Pagosa group gathered together to make an easy decision. Besides the extra wood left at the original building site, they had extra time, money, and manpower, all of which would be put to good use in constructing an improved shelter for Gloria and her family. The P.A.C.E. members would be staying one day longer than the Phoenix volunteers giving them the extra time. One night’s lodging at their beach house had unexpectedly been given to them at no cost, and because they weren’t hungry the first night for dinner, they had designated food money also on hand. And, as for the manpower, Blake Brueckner, owner of the River Pointe Cafe in Pagosa and youth pastor at Centerpoint Church, felt God’s prompting to join the group at the very last minute. Blake’s truck proved invaluable for hauling supplies and students, while he himself proved invaluable as additional experience and labor in the actual building.

Working well into the dark again on Sunday night, the Pagosans were joined by Manuel and Chewie in erecting a 7x14 structure with cutout windows and doors and a papered roof. What a joy it was to watch the students hammer and haul and help out hour after hour with never a word of complaint.

Instead of helping build this second home, Kassidy Smith and Megan Davey spent their hours entertaining little Martina and Lupita: “Two of the cutest girls in the whole world.” Their giggles and laughs could be heard above the constant buzzing of saws and banging of nails throughout the entire building process, “I loved the way our girls, Kassidy and Megan, played with the little girls despite the language barrier and cultural differences,” Blake shared when looking back on the weekend. “My favorite part of the trip was watching Martina and Lupita have so much fun riding their “caballos” and talking away in Spanish with Megan and Kassidy.” Nevertheless, the little girl’s tears of sadness as they watched their friends walk away at the end of the day proved difficult to withstand.

While her new home was taking shape, Gloria met with one of the A.I.M. board members from Puerto Peñasco who specifically aid families in obtaining better housing, healthcare, and other benefits. It is not sure how soon a new home will be built for this family, but they definitely have needs that will put them high on the priority list.

As the building project continued, several from the Pagosa group began distributing clothing and shoes to Gloria and her family. This soon attracted neighborhood children and their mothers who in turn received large bags of the right-sized shoes, dresses, pants, and shirts, as well as heavy sacks of beans.

After putting the clothing and shoes in her partially collapsed plastic shelter, Gloria came out with two lovely necklaces. She proudly presented them to Michele Smith and Julie Davey as a gift of thanks for all that had been done for her family. “My whole life, through all the hard and terrible times, God has always, always been very good to me,” Gloria said sincerely as she insisted the women take the jewelry. It was hard to accept a gift that would mean lost income on Gloria’s part. Diplomacy somehow saved the moment, and the two Pagosans wear their necklaces as a tangible reminder to pray for Gloria and her family, even as Gloria ended up with a few extra American dollars tucked in her pocket to help cover the price of such a sacrificial gift.

It was 10 p.m. before the P.A.C.E. group finally found themselves eating their much anticipated dinner while overlooking the moonlit shoreline. Exhausted from the long days and strenuous work, they lingered around their tables, reflecting on the results of the weekend with great satisfaction. The group had originally wanted to build two houses on this trip, but were discouraged from doing so because of the expense and energy required. God had indeed enabled them to build two homes, bettering the lives and brightening the futures of these cherished families and their happy neighbors. When asked if he would want to do this work again, Mike Church, Broker for Aspen Village, replied, “Yes! This is the most worthwhile thing my kids and I have done in a long time.”

One of P.A.C.E.’s parents, Caroline Reed, sprained her ankle 10 days prior to the trip, almost causing her to stay home. “I’m so glad I came,” Caroline declared in earnest. “Being in Mexico, and seeing the needs with my own eyes, made me want to work harder on my Spanish. Now I have a purpose to really learn it with my boys so we can go back to Puerto Peñasco and better communicate with the people we are helping.” Caroline overused her ankle on the first day as she hobbled around the building site helping in countless little ways, despite everyone’s protestations. This, of course, resulted in her spending a majority of the next day with her painfully swollen foot propped up in ice packs, yet she never once hinted at being sorry she’d come.

Grabbing a quick last meal together in Phoenix , the P.A.C.E. group was told they somehow still had a significant amount of money left over, even with building the second home. Hunt presented the funds to Julie Davey, who served as the trip administrator, knowing how much it would help with the high cost of gasoline for travel. He no sooner got the wad of bills out of his sock, however, than he was politely asked to put it back. There was enough money to sponsor Poncho and his family for an entire year of food, medicine, and school supplies, as well as help pay for another home being built next month by another group of volunteers from Phoenix.

The tired short-term missionaries arrived back in Pagosa Springs some 18 hours later than scheduled. They were forced to dive into the daily round of duties and activities with hardly a moment to catch their breath. Nevertheless, in “getting back to real life” was the satisfying awareness that their efforts had helped “make a real life” for some very special new friends just across the border.

The only regret floating around the hearts and minds of these students and parents was that they didn’t have enough remaining money to fully sponsor Gloria’s family. If anyone is interested in putting their extra dollars to good use by helping this dear family, or in donating their time and talents to future building projects with A.I.M., please contact Bert Hunt at (602) 390-1542, or e-mail him at Acts2024bh@aol.com and tell him the P.A.C.E. group from Pagosa sent you.

Kinderhouse kids do their part to clean up Pagosa

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

Downtown is looking a tiny bit tidier these days due, in part, to a crew of the littlest litter picker-uppers in town.

Every Wednesday morning, students from the Pagosa Springs Kinderhouse school head out to pick up trash in a section of downtown.

“Often times the kids will come to school and tell me where the garbage is,” said Kerry Madrid, lead teacher at the Kinderhouse.

The children, ages 4 through 6, take to their task with a diligence and enthusiasm that should put many of their elders to shame.

“They love to take care of Mother Earth,” Madrid said, “and they see the world as such a wonderful place — when they see garbage, they’re just compelled to pick it up.”

The Kinderhouse has been in business in Pagosa Springs since 2005, the result of the Pagosa Waldorf Initiative. Founded in 1919, Waldorf schools emphasize imagination in education and stress social responsibility, with an educational philosophy based on peace and tolerance. Indeed, in apartheid South Africa, Waldorf schools were some of the few schools with integrated classrooms and in Israel, the Harduf Kibbutz Waldorf school includes both Jewish and Arab faculty and students.

Madrid is passionate when discussing her kids and Waldorf education. “I think the Waldorf initiative would benefit any community,” Madrid said. “Because it supports a child’s natural goodness, it encourages kids to do good things in their community and the world.” She added that the credo of Waldorf early-childhood — “hands are for helping” — is part of what drives her students to do their small part for the town.

Park superintendent Jim Miller was impressed when he saw the Kinderhouse crew cleaning up Town Park a few weeks back. “It was wonderful,” he said, “seeing that group of really young kids cleaning up the town.” He added, “I’m optimistic that the current generation of young people show an encouraging awareness for stewardship of the community and the earth.”

That awareness was evident as Kinderhouse kids made their way from 6th Street to 5th Street and finally to San Juan Street, filling their trash bags with beer bottles, food wrappers, and anything else their little hands could grab.

Eagle Scout chapter being formed

The Great Southwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America is currently conducting a search for all Eagle Scouts.

The council is in the process of forming a chapter of the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA). The chapter will consist of Eagle Scouts over the age of 21, who are interested in supporting the Boy Scout movement locally. Eagle Scouts include men from all backgrounds, interests and professions.

 To earn the esteemed Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service and outdoor skills. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1.7 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912.

 Upon conferral of this celebrated rank, young men everywhere pledge to give continued leadership and service to the Scouting movement.

 Founded in 1972, the National Eagle Scout Association’s objective is “to serve Eagle Scouts, and through them, the entire Scouting movement.”

 If you, or someone you know, are an Eagle Scout, contact Mary Pye, Southern Colorado Mesa Verde District Executive, at (970) 749-8888 or marypye@bsamail.org for more information.
