Primary election underway

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

Early voting for the primary election continues through Friday, and voters can cast their ballots in the clerk’s election office, downstairs in the Archuleta County Courthouse.

The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and voters will need to present proper identification before casting their ballot. The following is a list of acceptable forms of identification.

• A valid Colorado driver’s license.

• A valid identification card issued by the Department of Revenue in accordance with the requirements of Part 3 of Article 2 of title 42, C.R.S.

• A valid U.S. passport.

• A valid employee identification card with a photograph of the eligible elector issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the United States government or of Colorado, or by any county, municipality, board, authority, or other political subdivision of Colorado.

• A valid pilot’s license issued by the Federal Aviation Administration or other authorized agency of the United States.

• A valid U.S. military identification card with a photograph of the eligible elector.

• A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the elector. (A cable bill, a telephone bill, documentation from a public institution of higher education in Colorado containing at least the name, date of birth, and legal residence address of the student elector, a paycheck from a government institution, or a Certificate of Degree of Indian or Alaskan Native Blood are sufficient forms of identification.)

• A valid Medicare or Medicaid card issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the United States health Care Financing Administration).

• A certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate for the elector issued in the United States.

• Certified documentation of naturalization.

• A valid student identification card with a photograph of the eligible elector issued by an institute of higher education in Colorado, as defined in section 23-3.1-102(5), C.R.S.

Some forms of identification may not contain an address. If the address appears on the identification, the address must be in Colorado.

After early voting, the next opportunity to participate in the primary is Aug. 12 — primary election day.

The State of Colorado holds a “party primary,” therefore voters will receive one of two ballots depending on their party affiliation — either a Democratic ballot or a Republican ballot. No presidential candidates will appear on the primary ballots. The presidential race will be voted on during the general election held in November.

During the primary, voters will be able to vote for District 1 and District 2 county commissioner candidates regardless of which commissioner district the voter lives in. There is one caveat, however. Because Colorado uses a party primary system, the voter’s party affiliation will dictate their ballot choices. For example, Republican voters will vote only for Republican candidates, while Democrats will vote only for Democratic candidates.

Unaffiliated candidates may participate in the primary election, if they affiliate with a party at the clerk’s office any time before the primary election, or at the polling place on primary election day. After the primary, unaffiliated voters who affiliated with a party for purposes of participation, may choose to return to their unaffiliated status by re-registering with the clerk.

Vote Centers

Instead of voting by precinct, Archuleta County will use three vote centers during the primary and general elections. All voters have the option to vote at any one of the three vote centers listed below.

• Archuleta County Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 449 San Juan Street, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147.

• Pagosa Springs Community Center, 451 Hot Springs Blvd., Pagosa Springs, CO 81147.

• Restoration Fellowship Church, 264 Village Drive, (behind the westside City Market) Pagosa Springs, CO 81147.



County staff works to bridge budget gap

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

Although the July 21 announcement of a $1 million revenue shortfall in the county’s 2008 budget revived the spectre of last year’s financial crisis, finance director Don Warn has said the county can overcome the challenge and he has begun meetings with department heads and elected officials to find ways to bridge the revenue gap.

“We’re meeting with department heads and elected officials in the general fund and going line item by line item on revenues and expenditures, and anywhere there’s a significant variance, we’re asking for follow-up information and plugging that into our projections,” Warn said.

According to Archuleta County Administrator Greg Schulte during the July 21 meeting, the shortfall was caused by an error on a line item titled “Miscellaneous Revenue,” in the county clerk’s budget.

The line item, said Schulte, listed $1.03 million in anticipated revenue; however, when Warn looked at collections to date, the county had only brought in $9,996. Schulte said the variance between the budgeted amount and actual to-date collections sent warning bells ringing, and he and Warn combed county records to learn more.

“We exhausted all paths and talked to current and past employees,” Schulte said. “The backup documentation is pretty scanty and doesn’t allow us to affirmatively state why it was there, or why it was in the budget. We simply believe it was an error.”

Schulte clarified that although the error appears as a line item in county clerk June Madrid’s budget, it was not Madrid who provided the erroneous information.

Schulte also clarified that the error is a General Fund problem, therefore it will not affect funding for road projects.

Nevertheless, with sales tax collections less than robust and building permit revenues down, the error — coupled with other shortfalls — will strain the county coffers.

According to projections put forth at the July 21 meeting the total shortfall could broach $1.3 million, but Warn said the figure should come in at much less.

“Preliminary projections say it should be less than $1 million,” Warn said.

But how much less, Warn was reluctant to speculate.

“Even after we get that number we still have to watch everything, because there are so many variables out there,” Warn said, and he cautioned against using a one-dimensional approach to reading the county’s financial fortune.

“You can’t just look at it individually. You can’t just look at revenues. That doesn’t tell you the complete picture. You have to look at expenditures, and look at the gap between the two,” Warn said. “To date, expenditures are less than the anticipated budget. That’s a huge factor.”

According to the county’s second quarter financial report, the overall expenditure budget is $25.7 million, with expenditures tallied at the end of the second quarter at $7 million, or 27 percent.

Warn said he will finish meetings with department heads and elected officials this week and will present his findings to the board of county commissioners Aug. 15.

And, while Warn is crunching numbers and running projections, some in the community have begun to use the $1 million dollar error as a political football.

Archuleta County Commissioner Robin Schiro, who is seeking reelection in 2008, has questioned why members of the Citizen’s Financial Advisory Task Force didn’t see the error. In addition, her Republican District 1 challenger Gene Crabtree has struck a similar chord, naming John Ranson, who is also seeking the District 1 seat, as personally responsible for the oversight. Crabtree’s assertion appears in a political advertisement in the July 31 edition of The SUN.

According to an e-mail transmission between task force member John Ranson and Schulte dated May 10, 2008, Ranson warns Schulte of the possibility of a $400,000 shortfall.

“I surmise the shortfall will be closer to $400,000 than your current estimates. Through the first four months revenue is down by $168,000, so why are you projecting the remainder of the year to be flat? You are also using the $250,000 set aside for debt repayment and the $200,000 contingency fund, and it is only April. There is no room for error or unexpected events (not to mention legal fees due to lawsuits),” Ranson wrote.

According to Warn, discussions between task force members and county staff during the budget drafting process indicated the probability of a shortfall because of cash flow issues. Discussions at that time yielded shortfall estimates hovering around $300,000. In addition, several task force members said much of the effort’s energies were focused on keeping expenses down and in line with revenues. The task force also called for conservative sales tax projections for budgeting purposes.

Although none involved in the budget process anticipated a $1 million dollar line item error, Schulte said salary savings, $200,000 budgeted in contingency, and $250,000 budgeted in administration for debt service should buffer the blow. In addition, Schulte has called for a halt to all discretionary spending.

But who’s to blame for the error? Former administrator Bob Campbell? Archuleta County Clerk June Madrid in whose budget the error appears? Commissioners Bob Moomaw, Robin Schiro and Ronnie Zaday, who oversaw the budget process.? Task force members? Other county staff?

“People need to realize that county budgets and county finances, anywhere you go, are dynamic,” Warn said.

Moreover, Warn said, more important than the blame game, is ensuring that a system of internal controls, checks and balances and policies and procedures are in place and ready to catch budget problems as soon as they arise.

“The system worked and we caught it,” Warn said.



Council hears sales tax revenue report

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

With conflicting economic reports and projections vexing Pagosa Springs Town Council decisions, council members managed to consider a number of measures Tuesday that, although negligibly affecting town revenues overall, will affect how town would do business in the future.

Measures and resolutions aside, reports dealing with finances and revenues buried within larger agenda items managed to capture the interest of council — and provided for the most interesting discussions.

A report by interim town manager Tamra Allen on sales tax revenues belied bleak projections that many had assumed would plague Pagosa Springs.

Although her report showed a decrease in tax revenues of 5 percent from May 2008 — down $12,699.36 — the overall decrease year-to-date in sales tax collections was only .64 percent. Considering that gas prices a year ago were (on average), $3.40 a gallon and that gas prices in May 2008 hit a high of $4.10 a gallon, the nearly 83-percent rise in fuel prices makes a less than 1 percent loss in tax revenues seem almost inconsequential.

Furthermore, considering that almost a half million jobs were lost in the U.S. over the same time period and with a state-to-state average of an almost 9 percent decrease in sales tax revenues over the last year, the reported 5-percent drop (or even the .64 percent loss) might be answered by, “count your blessings.”

Given the less than stellar report, Allen reported that staff has been directed to “reduce overall departmental spending by 3 percent year to date,” in an attempt to offset sales tax revenue losses, and she recommended that council appoint a commission to review further capital improvements for the rest of 2008.

Allen’s report also followed up on a request by council member Mark Weiler to track monthly revenue and expenditures, to more accurately track town finances and provide a more agile system of capital spending. Weiler dramatically illustrated the need for such accounting by plopping a foot-high stack of paper on the rail of his council desk to show the complexity of town budget concerns.

Mayor Ross Aragon answered Weiler’s display by appointing Weiler and council member Darrel Cotton to further explore the budget.

Finally, given fiscal restraints on previously proposed capital improvements, Allen suggested a five-year review of improvements in order to provide staff with a general list that reflects council’s priorities regarding future projects.

Resolutions council considered Tuesday were meant to give teeth to standing anti-loitering ordinances, and standards for acceptable use of town parks were entertained and passed without discussion from the public or the board.

Broadening definitions of “prohibited acts,” the park resolution further defined the current ordinance regarding the handling of pets in the park, vending within parks, and added “sleeping” as a prohibited act in town parks.

The anti-loitering ordinance was expanded to include language that allows police officers to arrest individuals engaged in “aggressive begging” without warning. In light of recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings protecting the rights of homeless individuals, council was advised that the ordinance could not be used for the purpose of arresting homeless individuals or driving them from public places. However, the courts have not been so kind to beggars, and several recent higher court decisions have upheld the right of a municipality to ban “begging” that is beyond the scope of First Amendment protections.

Answering citizen concerns voiced at an open forum in March, council revised its current sign ordinance to allow for off-site “Open House” signs for real estate businesses, and also adopted minimum energy code standards, in compliance with Colorado’s New Energy Initiative, as spelled out in the 2006 version of the International Energy Conservation Code.

Council also entertained, and passed, a first reading for an initiative to adopt a code of ethics for town employees and council members. The code, a result of Amendment 41 adopted by Colorado voters in 2006, prohibits government officials, their spouses and dependent children from receiving more than $50 worth of gifts in any calendar year. Although the town’s home rule charter would exempt Pagosa Springs from having to adopt the ethics code, council passed the first reading of the resolution. Cotton dissented, however, saying, “I think this whole thing is garbage, for the record.”

Council also heard a proposal by local outfitter Matt Poma that would allow his company to conduct horseback trail rides on Reservoir Hill. With support and a recommendation from Parks and Recreation Director Tom Carosello, council approved a pilot program for Poma’s proposal with the understanding that formal approval would need to be forthcoming.

The town council meets again Thursday, Aug. 28, at noon.


TOWN

River restoration project discussion continues

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

A lively and, at times contentious, discussion marked the Pagosa Springs Town Council’s continued ambivalence regarding the future of the San Juan River restoration project.

The discussion, occupying the majority of council’s time and energy at its Aug. 5 meeting, started with comments by two of the council members most vocally in support of completing the project.

“My constituents keep telling me that they want the river restoration project,” said council member Stan Holt, “And with that in mind, I think we should go forward with it. I haven’t heard one person say they don’t want this project.”

Council member Angela Atkinson added to Holt’s sentiments, asking, “Our question should be, are we in support of our original vision?”

Atkinson also reported on a meeting Monday that she and council member Mark Weiler had met with Army Corps of Engineers representative Kara Hellige. “Our discussion with Kara was pretty in-depth and rather painful.”

Weiler had a slightly different take on that discussion: “To say it was painful is an understatement.” Weiler said that during the course of the discussion, he heard a number of problems that had plagued — and continue to plague — the project. “If we’re going to proceed,” Weiler stated, “We have to have all of our ducks in a row. And we don’t have our ducks in a row.”

However, Weiler was willing to concede that hope remains for completing the project. Suggesting that council heed Atkinson’s appeal and continue to pursue “the vision” of the original project, Weiler added that council ought to consider replacing Recreation Engineering and Planning (REP), but only after the company completes the engineering. Furthermore, Weiler said that council should demand a rebate of “monies paid to REP that was over and above what REP was contracted to be paid.”

Still stuck, council members remained at odds with what needed to be done to move the project forward. With a limited time frame and an even more limited budget, council could not reach an agreement on how exactly to move the project ahead.

Finally, a motion was made for council to commit to the original vision of the river restoration project, agree that before moving forward on any structures beyond Davey’s Wave that the town secure all necessary easements, require full disclosure from REP regarding monies paid in excess of its contractual authority, and appoint an oversight committee to closely follow all future aspects of the project. Holt suggested amending the motion to include that town attorney Bob Cole inspect and validate all contracts and permits dedicated to the project.

With dissent by council members Jerry Jackson, Darrel Cotton, and Weiler, the motion failed. Council continued debating various details of the motion but no clear agreement could be reached. Atkinson resubmitted the motion and it failed again due to nays from the same three dissenters. After amending the motion further to include language that would demand REP complete its engineering plans and pay back money paid beyond its contractual agreement, the motion finally passed with only Cotton and Weiler dissenting.

When the motion failed a second time, a very audible groan was heard from the gallery. With its checkered past and uncertain future, several residents in attendance voiced their frustration with council’s seeming inability to move the project forward. Mayor Ross Aragon echoed that frustration when, after Atkinson’s motion finally passed, he said, “I can’t believe we’re arguing about this after talking about this for months.”

Although a fractious council was able to barely squeak out a motion to ostensibly move the project slightly forward, it remains to be seen if council will be able to pull together enough to see the project to completion.


Junk ordinance: Town works to ‘Pick Up Pagosa’

The Town of Pagosa Springs reminds all property owners of its continued commitment to the betterment of the community through enforcement of the municipal nuisance ordinance.

In accord with the recent proclamation “Pick Up Pagosa,” signed by Mayor Ross Aragon on June 2, 2008, the town will continue its enforcement of the town’s current nuisance (junk) ordinance.

In general, the following is considered a violation of this ordinance: “The accumulation of all litter, weeds, trash, junk, vehicles, refuse, rubbish or garbage on public or private property, or in the alleys in the rear or the sidewalk and parking areas to the curb line in front thereof. This does not include garbage or waste material properly deposited in containers for removal as provided by Town regulations, nor does it include junk that is properly stored by the owner or occupant in a storage space suitable for that purpose and not exposed to public view.”

Town officials express their appreciation of the continued efforts of residents who have voluntarily maintained personal properties and have worked to make Pagosa Springs aesthetically beautiful.

Property owners the town identifies as being in violation of this ordinance will be sent notices for compliance during the week of Aug. 4.

Questions may be directed to the Town of Pagosa Springs Code Enforcement Officer at 264-4151, Ext. 225.

Investigation of thefts continue

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

Many longtime Pagosa Springs area residents do not lock their cars or homes. However, a string of thefts near Lake Pagosa and Lake Forest since March has prompted law enforcement officials to urge citizens to take safety and security measures those living in metropolitan areas take for granted.

“We want to solve this, but lock your vehicles, don’t leave valuables in your car, and lock your house,” said Archuleta County Undersheriff John Weiss.

According to sheriff’s department records, deputies have responded to 11 incidents of motor vehicle trespass with stolen items, four incidents of vehicle vandalism, four incidents of theft or attempted theft from open garages and porches, and two incidents of burglary or home trespassing.

Weiss said the incidents appear concentrated near Lake Pagosa around Cloud Cap Avenue, Butte Drive and Monument Avenue, and near Lake Forest on Woodsman Drive, with another incident reported on Solomon Drive.

The crime spree peaked on March 27 with five vehicle break-ins, and Weiss said authorities are still looking for leads, and pursuing others as they come in. In the meantime, Weiss said the sheriff’s department has increased foot patrols in the area.

According to sheriff’s reports, most vehicles, homes or garages involved in the incidents were left unlocked.

In addition to basic home security precautions, Weiss said it is important for neighbors to watch out for each other, to become better acquainted and exchange contact information.

“There’s a lot of folks that don’t even know their neighbors. Get to know your neighbors and know how to contact them. That’s part of a neighborhood watch,” Weiss said.

In addition, Weiss said tips and leads on suspicious vehicles or activities can help law enforcement zero in on the perpetrators.

“Maybe one lead won’t solve it, but multiple leads will,” Weiss said.

To report suspicious activity, call the Archuleta County Dispatch Center at 264-2131.



Police warn Pagosans about online scams

By Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writer

The Pagosa Springs Police Department recently found itself embroiled in the infamous and international online fraud known simply as the “Nigerian Reshipping Scam.”

On July 28, a Pagosa woman reported suspicious activity on her credit card statement. Her credit card had been used to purchase two computers from Dell online without her knowledge. The transaction went through on July 23, although authorities were able to stop the transaction on one of the computers before it was shipped. The computer was marked to ship to an address in Arkansas.

“We don’t know how they got her credit card number,” said Maxwell. He did say that the woman had used her card to make purchases online in the past.

Maxwell said “it didn’t take long” to trace the second computer to a shipping address in Lincoln, Neb. The woman who had received the computer in Lincoln had already repackaged and reshipped the computer to an address in Jamaica, N.Y.

According to Maxwell, the woman said that the man she had shipped the computer to was her boyfriend in New York. She had met him in an online chat room, and although she had never met him, had been in contact with him for several months.

“It’s a fairly common scam these days,” said Maxwell. According to Maxwell, the scammer will typically meet someone in a chat room and strike up a conversation. Once they have established a relationship, the scammer will ask the victim to reship stolen goods, like computers, for them.

In this case, Maxwell said the scammer had told the woman he was sending her a computer “to prove that he trusted her,” and wanted her to reship it to him in New York, where he would use it in his business. The scammer had created a fake MySpace page which placed his location in New York, and which the woman in Lincoln used to contact him.

The real intent, said Maxwell, was for the computer to then be shipped from New York to Nigeria, where the scammer is actually located. Authorities tracked the computer to Ned Link, Inc., a shipping company in New York, and returned the computer to Dell before it was shipped to Nigeria.

The case was forwarded to the FBI on Aug. 1, and the woman in Lincoln apparently had no knowledge of the scam.

Maxwell said the local woman is currently working with the bank and credit card company to be reimbursed for the money used to buy the stolen computers, and that the authorities have notified the bank of the scam.

Although the authorities are unaware of how the scammers got hold of the stolen credit card number, Maxwell said simple precautions, such as being wary of online contacts who suggest any sort of reshipping or repackaging transactions, can help you avoid becoming the epicenter of this prevalent reshipping scam.

Pagosa man dies in July 30 accident

A Pagosa Springs man was killed and another injured in a one vehicle accident on County Road 326 (Upper Blanco Road) July 30 at about 5 p.m.

According to a Colorado State Patrol accident report, the driver, 18-year-old Wesley Laverty of Pagosa Springs, suffered moderate injuries in the collision, while Archuleta County Coroner Carl Macht pronounced Laverty’s passenger, 47-year-old Ronald Hake, also of Pagosa Springs, dead at the scene.

According to the accident report, Laverty lost control of the 1997 white GMC Jimmy while driving southbound on the Upper Blanco Road.

According to the report, the vehicle traveled about 300 feet before the front end collided with an embankment. After hitting the embankment, the vehicle continued another 40 feet, rolled a half roll, and came to rest on its roof.

Both men were wearing seatbelts.

According to the report, neither alcohol or drugs are suspected in the cause of the crash.

Man dies, child injured in ATV accidents

By James Robinson and Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writers

All-terrain vehicle accidents on July 29 and Aug. 2 resulted in injuries to a 5-year-old boy, and the death of a 61-year-old Aspen Springs resident, according to law enforcement, Forest Service and fire department reports.

The first incident occurred on the morning of July 29, when an unidentified 5-year-old boy suffered severe facial trauma and other injuries when he was thrown from an ATV in an accident near the Williams Creek Campground.

According to reports, the boy was riding on the back of the ATV, which was being driven by an 11-year-old girl. The two were accompanied by an unlicensed minor driving another ATV.

“As far as we know, there were no adults or licensed drivers,” said Paul Blackman, recreation manager for the Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest.

The boy was flung from the vehicle when the driver braked suddenly. The boy dislocated his shoulder and received severe facial injuries.

“It wasn’t a two-seater,” said Blackman. “He was riding on the bars on the back.”

A flight-for-life helicopter flew the injured youngster to the Denver Children’s Hospital. His condition was reported stable as of last week.

“It’s not an uncommon occurrence, unfortunately,” said Blackman. “We see a fair amount of it here in the forest. These things (ATVs) are very dangerous, even when operated by adults. They don’t handle the way a normal vehicle would. They’re not designed to handle very well. It’s a risky endeavour, for sure.”

The second incident occurred around 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, near the Yellow Jacket pass area, north of U.S. 160, and resulted in the death of 61-year-old John William Brungard of Aspen Springs.

According to Ron Thompson, chief of the Pagosa Fire Protection District, Brungard was apparently alone while trying to load a four-wheeler into a pickup truck when one or both of the loading ramps gave way and the vehicle rolled on top of him, causing the fatality.

Thompson said Brungard lived in Aspen Springs and was a 15-year volunteer member of the fire protection district.

A memorial service for Brungard will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at Mountain Heights Baptist Church. The church is located at 1044 Park Ave.


The Lower Blanco, a river restored

By Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writer

The third phase of the Lower Blanco River restoration project is expected to be finished tomorrow, Aug. 8, and while the river is not a gushing Class V rager, the project is still a raging success.

According to Dave McDonough, vice president of the Lower Blanco Property Owner’s Association (LBPOA), the third phase of the project began three weeks ago, and has been flowing smoothly ever since.

“Our main goal is reshaping the river as a fish habitat,” said McDonough.

According to McDonough, water rights for the river were signed away in the 1920s, and a project to divert water from the river began in 1971. Today, only about 30 percent of the water that was once present in the Lower Blanco still flows; the other 70 percent is diverted through a series of tunnels to New Mexico.

“The river just began to slowly die,” he said. “We wanted to provide a fish habitat as well as a viable river. If nobody did anything, it would have died.”

The project began in 1996, and with the two prior phrases, four miles of river restoration have been completed. Local agencies Riverbend Engineering and Big Rock Construction have helped complete the third phase, which revamped a mile of the river.

“We’ve brought the project back to being very local,” said McDonough. “It’s a grassroots group actually getting it done.”

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded the LBPOA with a $95,000 grant, and McDonough said Kara Hellige, Army Corps of Engineers project manager, was “absolutely fantastic” and helped immensely to secure permits and meet deadlines for the project.

“It’s one of those projects where everyone worked together,” said Jerry Archuleta, district conservationist for the NRCS. “It’s really improved the aquatic habitat. Now we have a place where fish can actually live.”

To improve the aquatic habitat, the once wide and shallow river needed to be narrowed to make better use of the already small amount of water available.

“We’re only allotted 21 cfs of water after the diversion, and we’re trying to utilize that the best way we can,” said Richard Fiorucci, president of the LBPOA.

Deep, cold pools needed to be created along with riffles, areas where the water runs faster and shallower. This provides habitats not only for fish, but for the macroinvertebrates — or bugs — that the fish eat.

According to Chris Philips, P.E., and owner of Riverbend Engineering, the channel was narrowed by using rock structures and sidebars to narrow the flow. However, said Philips, phase three focused less on rock structures and more on the existing and mature riparian vegetation. The willows, alders, and cottonwoods that grow along the bank are “very good at holding banks in place,” said Philips. “We rely on vegetation whenever possible, to help create deep spots where the water runs slowly. We’re doing things with a little more natural aesthetic than the first two (phases). But the basic goals remain unchanged.”

Philips said when the project first began, the methodology of river restoration relied more heavily on rock structures, but the science and art of river restoration has since evolved.

“People want to see less human construction,” said Philips. “We can’t eliminate human intervention, but we can reduce it, and work with the natural behavior of the river, use it to our advantage.”

Archuleta said the NRCS offered revegetation advice, and was pleased with the use of “positive qualities in the design to take advantage of natural structures, like pools under existing vegetation. This project allows a diversity of aquatic habitats.”

And, although the third phase completed one mile of river in just three weeks (“They’re no slackers when they get in the stream,” said Philips of Big Rock Construction), roughly four miles remain to be restored, and McDonough estimates this will take three or four more years. When completed, the stretch of the Lower Blanco from the intersection below U.S. 84, about 14 miles south of town, all the way to the confluence with the San Juan river will be restored.

“We’d like to complete the river as far as we can take it,” Fiorucci. “It enhances the beauty of the river.”

While the aesthetics of the river will certainly enhance the environment for the residents, McDonough said the residents of the Lower Blanco area aren’t invested in the project simply to “create our own private Disneyland.” According to McDonough, this enhancement will also cause property values to rise, funneling more tax dollars into the community. He added that the newly revamped river will also run through many campgrounds, attracting more tourists and encouraging them to return.

And, of course, the Lower Blanco will be a better and more beautiful place to fish, swim, and simply sit for all Pagosa Country residents.

“All people are very protective and passionate about their river,” said Philips. “But the project has been met with great approval.”

The LBPOA will hold its annual meeting Oct. 9.


Campaign finance reports show big differences

By James Robinson

Staff Writer

Campaign dollars are often linked to a candidate’s chance of success, and with the primary election fast approaching, here is how Archuleta County Board of County Commissioner candidates stack up when it comes to raising campaign funds and campaign expenditures.

All amounts listed are as of July 17, 2008.

District 1: Democrats

Ron Chacey is the only Democrat on the District 1 primary ballot. Thus, he will move on to the general election ballot where he will face the winner of the District 1 Republican Primary.

Chacey:

Total contributions: $5,615.10.

Total expenditures: $4,447.24.

Funds on hand: $1,167.86.

District 1: Republicans

The District 1 Republican primary race is a three-way battle between incumbent commissioner Robin Schiro, former commissioner Gene Crabtree and political newcomer John Ranson.

According to campaign finance reports filed with the Archuleta County clerk’s office, Ranson’s war chest is well stocked; Crabtree appears largely self-funded, and Schiro reports zero campaign contributions and appears to be running a self-funded campaign, as well. Below is a breakdown in alphabetical order by candidate.

Crabtree:

Total contributions: $2,959.97.

Total expenditures: $1,859.97.

Funds on hand: $1,100.

Ranson:

Total contributions: $10,577.43.

Total expenditures: $6,794.31.

Funds on hand: $3,783.12.

Schiro:

Total contributions: $0.

Total expenditures: $2,106.89.

According to Schiro’s expenditure documents filed with the county clerk, the firm she hired to conduct a telephone poll, is omitted.

Madrid said Article 45 of Colorado’s Election Campaign Regulations state a telephone opinion poll is not considered “electioneering,” therefore Schiro is not required to report the expense.

District 2: Democrats

After Ray Finney’s withdrawal from the race, Clifford Lucero remains the only Democratic candidate in District 2. Thus, he will move on to the general election ballot where he will battle Republican Ray Keyawa, and two unaffiliated candidates — Natalie Carpenter and Marion Francis — for the District 2 seat.

Lucero:

Total contributions: $0.

Total expenditures: $0.

District 2: Republicans

Following Stephen Keno’s departure from the District 2 Republican race, Ray Keyawa emerged as the sole Republican candidate, and thus secured a slot on the primary ballot. As an uncontested candidate, Keyawa will also advance to the general election ballot.

Keyawa:

Total contributions: $0.

Controversy over DA candidate’s finances continues

By Sarah O. Smith

Staff Writer

A formal complaint filed against Democratic DA candidate David Duncan was dismissed Friday, but William Furse, the Durango lawyer who filed the complaint, has already requested a rescheduling of the hearing.

In a letter to the Colorado Secretary of State, Furse accuses Duncan of violating the Colorado Constitution and the Fair Campaign Practices Act due to his failure to disclose campaign contributions and expenditures and his failure to register a campaign committee before running an ad in the May 18 issue of The Durango Herald.

Duncan appeared before the Office of Administrative Courts in Denver Friday, but Furse did not show. The judge dismissed the case, and gave Duncan 10 days to submit his costs and expenditures, which the judge may then require Furse to pay.

According to Duncan, the notice of hearings were mailed on July 23. Duncan said he received his notice in the mail on July 25. Furse, who is currently out of town, said he did not receive his notice.

“By the time of my departure on the twenty-ninth, I didn’t have the notice,” said Furse in a telephone interview Tuesday. Furse is currently still out of town and unaware if he has received the notice.

“My lack of attendance was certainly a miscommunication at best,” said Furse. He said he placed a phone call to the presiding judge on Monday to request a reschedule of the hearing, but has yet to hear back.

“The issues raised still exist,” said Furse. “His (Duncan’s) compliance with the law is still in question. Duncan essentially admitted to the violations.”

Yet according to Duncan, the accusations put against him are unfounded.

“I’m not exactly sure what’s going on here,” said Duncan in a telephone interview Tuesday. “I’ve been open and honest. I have nothing to hide. This unfounded attack on me is an attempt to steer voters from the real issue: that I’m vastly more qualified than my opponent.”

According to Duncan’s formal response to the complaint, he had electronically filed his candidate expenditures with the Colorado Department of State on July 21, but did not file committee expenditures because he had not yet received electronic access. He also said the expenditure for the ad in the Herald was “inadvertently overlooked” and filed a correction report on June 29.

Duncan also said that he has not disclosed his campaign contributions because he is financing the campaign out of his own pocket.

“My campaign finance is not very complicated. It’s straightforward and on the record,” he said.

According to Duncan, any contributions received were not accepted.

“I returned them,” said Duncan. “Just sent them back. I want to avoid any and all conflict of interest.”

Furse said he also has issue with Duncan returning the donations made to his campaign.

“Those returns are required to be disclosed,” said Furse. “I don’t know if he’s done that, or plans to.”

Furse said he does not know when the judge will decide whether or not to reschedule the case, but that he intends to pursue his complaint.

“I find it troubling that Duncan, who is running for DA, has admitted to violating election laws,” said Furse. “He’s obviously the largest spender and yet the least compliant with election laws.”

Corrections

In the July 31, 2008 edition of The SUN, it was reported that the adoption of the new county land use code occurred in spring of 2005 — see “Questions raised about Schiro campaign information,” page A6.

The 2005 date is incorrect.

The land use code project began in the fall of 2005 and adoption occurred in May of 2006.

SUN articles dated May 11, 2006, (“Land use code approved, 2 key players absent”) and a letter to the editor from Archuleta County Commissioner Robin Schiro titled “Crucial meeting” found in the May 4, 2006, edition, reference and chronicle the adoption hearing.


Recycling? If the items are right, take them to Lester Rivas

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

On a hot Saturday morning in late July, the transfer station located about two miles south of town on Trujillo road is buzzing with activity — and flies.

“A lot of flies out here,” muses Lester Rivas, as he wiped sweat from his cheek with a brown bandana. “Seems like, no matter the weather, there’s flies out here.”

Anyone taking recyclables to the transfer station has probably encountered Rivas at one time or another. As soon as a vehicle enters the premises, Rivas is there to check the load. Usually he’s there to help unload or offer advice, although sometimes he’s put into the uncomfortable position of telling someone that what they’re bringing is not acceptable. Oftentimes, Rivas himself sorts through bags of recyclable items, “I’d rather do that than argue with people,” Rivas said.

“I had a guy come in here a few months back, right at closing time, who wanted to dump a bunch of those Styrofoam restaurant takeout boxes,” Rivas said, “and I told him that we couldn’t take those. The guy said that we take all our stuff to New Mexico anyway, and that they would take them. He got real nasty about it.”

Rather than force a confrontation, Rivas contacted police. The police answered the call but did nothing, according to Rivas, not considering illegal dumping at the facility a criminal matter.

Helping conscientious recyclers and dealing with rude customers are just some of Rivas’ duties at the transfer station. “On my down time, it’s me who is out there cleaning up along the road,” he said, adding, “I’m also the one supervising the guys sent out to clean up the road near the landfill. But sometimes they don’t show up and it’s just me cleaning up out there.”

Not that Rivas experiences much downtime. According to Rivas, he gets about “ten to fifteen cars during the week, and over thirty cars coming on Saturday.”

At 71 years old, hard work is no stranger to Rivas. Previous to supervising the transfer station, Rivas worked in the lumber industry in and around Archuleta County. “Worked in a sawmill most of my life before this,” Rivas said, “and I have the battle scars to prove it,” he added, holding up his right hand to show numerous scars as well as a noticeably missing thumb.

According to interim county public works director Chris Tanner, the transfer station does as well as it does due in large part to the hard work and dedication of Rivas. “I don’t know what we’d do without him,” Tanner said.

How the transfer station does so well without its own baler is another matter. For now, most of the recycled material is sent to Durango by truck. “We can only haul so much per day,” said Tanner, “and Durango can only take so much. We can only take one load a day and then, unload it if they accept it. If they’re overloaded we have to haul it back and deal with it ourselves.”

With belt-tightening by the town and the county, a baler is a low priority item in local budgets. However, according to Tanner, “Getting a baler would allow us to expand and catapult us to where we need to be. We won’t have to haul the material anymore, brokers would come to us and pay us for it.” In the meantime, although Durango is doing Archuleta County a huge favor by taking the county’s recyclable material, Durango also gets money for the material shipped there.

The one item not shipped to Durango is aluminum. Once a day, Rivas dumps out the bin full of aluminum cans and runs over them with his truck in order to compact them for storage. The cans are then shipped to Farmington, N.M., where the transfer station gets money for the recycled cans.

“We’re at $2,094 for the first half of 2008,” Rivas said, “so we expect to get over four thousand dollars by the end of the year.”

The money received from the sale of the cans goes to a scholarship for local high school students. Every year, two or three students receive a $1,000 “environmental awareness” scholarship for submitting winning essays. For his part in this, Rivas is particularly proud. “I’m happy to get those cans down to Farmington to help those kids,” Rivas said.

However, money for cans is not good enough for Rivas: his heart is set on the county being able to bale and sell all of its recyclables. “We really need a baler so we can sell this stuff.”

Short of a baler, what else would help the transfer station? “Let people know what we will and will not take,” Rivas replied.

The transfer station will take corrugated cardboard, plastics with Resin Code number 1 and 2, aluminum and tin cans, and glass.

The transfer station will not take brown paper or plastic bags, non-paper items, paper plates, towels, or cups, or chemically treated paper (i.e. wax paper, food wrappers, photo printing paper, etc.).

Transfer station hours of operation are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you have any questions about recycling, you can reach the transfer station at 264-3311.

Gas main creates problem for Lewis Street project

By Jim McQuiggin

Staff Writer

The discovery of a gas main buried at a shallow depth at the intersection of Lewis and 4th streets has created further problems for nearby residents and Lewis Street reconstruction project workers.

Problems with the gas main’s depth were discovered July 31 as workers started excavating portions of Lewis Street pavement approximately 20 yards from the 4th Street intersection. According to town construction manager Torry Hessman, “The gas lines were as shallow as six inches below sub-grade in some places but no more than ten to twelve inches below sub-grade all the way up the street.”

At that point, Davis Engineering was called in to re-survey the lines and assess what would need to be done to mitigate the situation. The results of that survey determined that the gas lines violated Colorado codes and would have to be realigned to meet current standards.

Hessman stated that before construction on that portion of Lewis Street could continue, the gas lines would have to be relocated deeper beneath the sub-grade in order to satisfy uniform building codes. “They need to be at a depth of at least eighteen to twenty-four inches,” Hessman said, adding that although, “thirty-six inches would be best,” existing town geothermal lines and the CenturyTel main hub line would probably interfere with setting gas lines that deep.

Len Mize, director of corporate communications for SourceGas agreed that the 36-inch depth might be problematic regarding a potential interference with existing utilities, but said that placement of gas lines well below the 18-inch minimum would not be a problem. “We’re happy to make this right and place the lines at the safest possible level,” Mize said, “The work we’re doing should be done by the end of this week.”

SourceGas, due to its franchise agreement with the town, will incur all costs for relocating its gas lines, even though those lines were not installed by the company. Mize stated that the lines and infrastructure were assumed by SourceGas after it acquired those lines from Kinder Morgan, which in turn had acquired the infrastructure from Citizen’s Gas & Communication. “As far as I know, those lines could go back to the original mains,” Mize said, “Or near the beginning, at least.”

Until work on the gas lines and subsequent street work is completed, traffic at the Fourth and Lewis Street intersection will be restricted: there will be no through traffic for drivers between 3rd and 4th streets (with exceptions given to residents on that block); traffic flow up 4th Street from Pagosa Street will be diverted down the alley in the 400 block, with the same exceptions as stated above. Hessman said that signage will be posted to assist drivers as to where they may proceed and what is allowed.

Hessman projected that all work due to the gas line complication should be complete by the end of next week, Aug. 15, adding that, as usual, patience and cooperation will help them complete the project in a timely and painless manner.

Eddie Oldham Memorial Scholarship awarded to 4-Her Crissy Ferguson

By Pamela Bomkamp

Special to The SUN

Pagosa Springs High School graduate Crissy Ferguson is this year’s recipient of the Eddie Oldham Memorial Scholarship. Crissy has been involved in the Archuleta County 4-H program for the past 11 years. She is currently secretary of the 4-H Shady Pine Club and Archuleta County 4-H Council representative. Crissy recently won Grand Champion Steer and Grand Champion Showmanship (Round Robin) at the 2008 Archuleta County Fair.

Crissy’s goal of becoming a veterinarian begins with two years of schooling at Fort Lewis College. She will then transfer to Colorado State University to finish her degree.

The Eddie Oldham Memorial Scholarship is a renewable scholarship awarded annually to at least one applicant who has been involved in the 4-H program. This scholarship has given many collegians financial support over the last nineteen years. The scholarship is the only true 4-H renewable college scholarship Archuleta County has to offer.

The Eddie Oldham Memorial Scholarship was established in 1991, and is overseen by Ike Oldham and his wife, Sharron. The scholarship was established when their son, Eddie Oldham, was tragically killed in an accident in 1989.

Donations can be made to this scholarship fund through the Bank of the San Juans or by contacting the Archuleta County Extension Office at 264-5931.


School supply donations needed

By Liz Rosenberg

Special to The SUN

Imagine the first day of school.

It’s a beautiful, sunny morning and you’re out in the schoolyard running and playing. You get to see friends, some of whom you haven’t seen all summer. You want to meet your new teacher; you hear she’s really nice. The bell rings ... time to head to homeroom. You get a lump in your throat, a knot in your stomach. Your parents are having another tough year. They just weren’t able to buy all the supplies that you need for school. You know that your friends will share. But, still, you wish you had your own pencils and folders and markers.

This is what the first day of school could be like for some local students.

As the Life Skills Worker at the Department of Human Services, I’ve seen firsthand the struggle some families face. They save up a little each month, as they can, barring any unforeseen situations. Yet, many times it’s not enough to get all the children in the family the supplies they need. The bookbags themselves can be quite expensive. However, a local group is trying to change the above scenario.

Operation Helping Hand, a group of dedicated citizens, has been assisting those in need for more than 10 years now. Last year, they helped 135 Archuleta County students with bookbags filled with supplies. They are currently in the process of collecting donations of school supplies for area children. You can help OHH make someone’s first day of school (and in fact the entire school year) a brighter one by contributing some supplies.

Below is a list of items that are being collected by Operation Helping Hand. It was compiled using supply lists provided by local schools.

You can drop off your donations at The Pagosa Springs SUN located at 466 Pagosa St.

Please consider the excitement and happiness you can bring to a child on the first day of school.
