Clear Creek County Undersheriff Bruce Snelling died at home on Sept. 24.

According to his obituary, Snelling started his career in law enforcement in 1987. In 2015, he became Undersheriff of Clear Creek County, the second highest ranking.

In a statement released on Sept. 25, Sheriff Rick Albers expressed the department’s condolences to the family and remembered Snelling.

“I know that Bruce loved his Clear Creek family and was proud of the employees he commanded and the community he served,” Albers said.

Jacki Kelly, a public information officer for Jefferson County Sheriff’s office, described Snelling’s passing as “medical in nature.”

“There’s been a lot of speculation, so we wanted to make sure we were at least indicating his passing as medical in nature,” Kelly said.

Scrutiny of law enforcement in Clear Creek comes after the shooting of Christian Glass in June. Snelling was not involved in the incident.

The family is holding services for Snelling on Oct. 1 in Littleton. Members of the public are invited to join.

The Clear Creek Board of Education took the time to recognize paraprofessionals at its Sept. 27 meeting. Board members explained that these staff members work in classrooms, in individual settings, large and small group settings, and are incorporated in all aspects of schools.

“Talk about a group that is adaptable and flexible,” commented one board member.

The board of education appointed Kerry Ann McHugh as the official board secretary at the Sept. 27 business meeting. McHugh had formerly been serving as the interim secretary.

The board discussed the remaining 30% of space at Building 103 which will not be occupied by the grade school. Members discussed

The board emphasized that the bond that makes the space at Building 103 possible only pays for the elementary school and the abatement of the whole building. Any users that occupy the remaining space would need to be financially able to rent the space.

The board also brought back the community service graduation requirement for the Clear Creek school district. The requirement was waived during the height of the pandemic and now will be phased back in. Previously, 40 hours of community service were required upon graduation. Starting this year the district will require 10 hours, then 20 next year, until the district gets back to the 40-hour expectation in a few years.

The Easterseals Rocky Mountain Village is a fully accessible camp where people with disabilities can get a true camp experience. The camp serves thousands of people over the course of the year.

Bill Joe Averitt is the current camp director. He explained that the camp is a week-long sleep away camp in the summer open to people aged 6-99 with any type of disability. The main focus of the camp is making the outdoors accessible.

“We removed all barriers,” he said.

Averitt said that the spots for the camp are highly coveted, and often fill up in minutes. He’s seen first

Guanella Pass Winter Closure

As scheduled in the past, the county will close Guanella Pass Road at the Naylor Lake intersection, approximately 0.8 mile north of the Guanella Pass summit on or about Monday, November 28, 2022, weather permitting.

To provide winter maintenance on the Guanella Pass Road is very costly for Clear Creek and Park Counties and requires unavailable resources. We will maintain Guanella Pass Road on a first day service to Cabin Creek Hydroelectric Plant and then on a second/third day basis to the Naylor Lake intersection after a snowfall

It is our hope the Guanella Pass Road will reopen on or about Friday, May 26, 2023.

Should you have questions or concerns, please contact our office: 303-679-2312, or check the Guanella Pass Road Information Line at 303-679-2422 x 2 for updates. Thank you.

“My favorite part is seeing them try new things,” he said. “Leave with more self confidence, more friends.”

Heather Seger is the development coordinator for Easterseals Rocky Mountain Village camp. She was running an informational booth about the organization and enjoying

the party festivities. She explained that all the money raised at the party would go towards sending disabled people to the summer camp.

“A lot of people don’t even know the camp exists,” she said.

One party-goer, Jenny Siegle, knows all about the camp. She went to the camp multiple times back in the ‘90s.

Born in Colorado, Seigle’s first real time away from her family was going to the Rocky Mountain Village summer camp. At the camp, she was able to hike, swim, fish, zipline and more because the camp has been

designed to accommodate all kinds of disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs like Seigle.

“This was my first time being able to venture out on my own,” Siegle said. “[It was] such a nice experience for me.”

Seigle remembers climbing her first tree at camp, hanging out with other people with disabilities and making lifelong memories.

Parker is still raising money to help send his friends with disabilities to camp; check out his Facebook fundraiser to donate.

Some of the dogs were unsure about Miles at first, but couldn’t resist a few pets.

United Center wraps up 2022 season

Idaho Springs venue welcomes FY5 for final performance of the season

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dru Van Doren, a board member for the United Center in Idaho Springs, answered some questions about the multipurpose venue and discussed the end of the 2022 season.

Operations at the United Center are supported by a dedicated board of directors, according to Van Doren.

Clear Creek Courant: What is the United Center?

Van Doren: On April 17, 1859 with supplies, wagon teams, and twentytwo men, mostly from Chicago, Jackson set out for his claim in what would come to be Idaho Springs.

Two decades later construction of what is now the United Center Community Center began.

This former Methodist Episcopal Church building was recognized as a historical site by the Colorado Historical Society on March 5, 1998, and a grant was awarded by the Historical Society for rehabilitation in 1999. This work began a year later. The congregation of the United Church of Idaho Springs and several private individuals donated substantial funding, along with their talents and time to bring the United Center to completion.

CCC: Who is the United Center for?

Van Doren: The United Center, Inc. was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) in 2002 and continues to be maintained through grants, donations, volunteer hours, and usage/ concert fees. The United Center has been host to a myriad of events, including meetings, parties, weddings, funerals, plays, comedy shows, many concerts and even the opera.

CCC: What does the fall lineup at the center look like?

Van Doren: We have had an amazing 2022 Season of music and look very forward to ending it on a high note with an Idaho Springs favorite, FY5. Colorado’s FY5 proudly swim in the deep currents of American music, playing new songs, wellinformed of country and bluegrass traditions, but not bound to them. Featuring thoughtful arrangements, strong singing and musicianship, the band strives to connect to listeners with stories of common struggles and big ideas. While their sound evokes timelessness, it is decidedly contemporary, well-traveled 21st-century sensibility that informs their songwriting. This band has changed names a bit over the years but the thing that always remains the same is their outstanding performances.

CCC: How can people get more information about shows and events at the center?

Van Doren: You can find us on social media (Facebook and Insta-

gram), on Eventbrite and our website www.unitedcenterinc.com.

CCC: Why should people come to events held at the United Center?

Van Doren: As one of just a few true listening rooms in Colorado, The United Center offers an intimate music experience in a truly remarkable space with great acous-

tics - and without the noise of bartenders and people dining/drinking. Additionally, children under 12 are free.

CCC: What else should people know about the center, upcoming performances, etc?

Van Doren: Tickets are available on eventbrite.com and at both Clear Creek Public Libraries and at the Recreation Center, too.

Political ads are costly during Broncos games

Big viewership requires equally big spending

BY SANDRA FISH AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Candidates and super PACs shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to reach voters during Denver Broncos games in election years, hoping to parlay big viewership into a touchdown on Election Day.

And 2022 is no exception.

A Broncos game is typically the most expensive ad time available in Colorado’s three TV advertising markets — Denver, Colorado Springs and Grand Junction. It’s easy to tell why: nearly 20 million people watched the Broncos lose Sept. 12 to the Seattle Seahawks.

And TV ads are often a statewide or congressional candidate’s best shot at influencing voters.

The TV ad air-time rates are most expensive in Denver and least expensive in Grand Junction, though they vary among stations in a single market. And super PACs pay far more than candidates as part of requirements under federal campaign finance law.

The cost of a Denver Broncos ad varied on the Sept. 25 game on NBC depending on when the ad aired and whether it was purchased by a candidate or super PAC. From top, the price for American Policy Fund in the U.S. Senate contest, 8th Congressional District Republican candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer and Democratic

Gov. Jared Polis.

The Colorado Sun examined ad contracts for the Broncos’ 11-10 win Sept. 25 over the San Francisco 49ers, as well as the Broncos’ Oct. 2 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The American Policy Fund, a federal super PAC aligned with Republicans, spent $75,000 on an ad attacking Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet during Sunday’s game on KUSA-TV, also known as 9News. But Bennet and Democratic Gov. Jared Polis each spent only $30,000 for 30-second spots on the same station during the game.

And 8th Congressional District Republican candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer’s campaign spent $60,000 on a 30-second spot during the same game. Kirkmeyer’s ad was more costly because it aired in the middle of the game instead of before the start or after the game ended.

The Polis campaign spent $7,000 to air two ads during the Sept. 25 game on KOAA-TV in Colorado Springs, the NBC affiliate in southern Colorado. State-level Democratic super PAC Strong Colorado for All spent $11,250 to air an ad on the station opposing Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl.

In Grand Junction, Polis spent $1,100 for two ads during the Sept. 25 game on NBC affiliate KKCO-TV.

For the Broncos’ Oct. 2 game, American Policy Fund was to pay KCNC-TV, also known as CBS4, $150,000 to air its anti-Bennet ad.

That appears to be the most costly single ad in recent years, according

to The Sun’s records.

Polis and Kirkmeyer were each scheduled to spend $70,000 for 30 seconds of air time during that game.

Strong Colorado for All is spending $15,000 for a pre-game ad on KCNC.

In the Colorado Springs market, Polis had two ads booked on KKTVTV, the CBS affiliate in southern Colorado, for the Oct. 2 game, one at a cost of $4,875 and the other for $3,900. The less expensive ad runs 15 seconds rather than 30.

Strong Colorado for All is spend-

MID TERM ELECTIONS

ing $12,500 for a pre-game ad in Colorado Springs.

The Polis campaign was also paying $1,500 to KREX-TV in Grand Junction, the CBS affiliate in western Colorado, to air an ad during the Oct. 2 game.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month provides reminder to get preventive screening

According to the Centers for Disease Control, breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States. Each year in the U.S., about 264,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,400 in men.

Although deaths from breast cancer have declined over time, breast can cer is still the second leading cause of cancer death among women overall. In addition, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women and Black women die from breast cancer at a

higher rate than white women.

The month of October is recog nized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a health obser vance that reminds us to be aware of the symptoms and risk factors for breast cancer as well as steps we can take to improve our health and possibly help lower the risk of get ting breast cancer or finding it early when it may be easier to treat. Mam mograms, x-rays of the breast, are especially important because they may detect breast cancer when there are no apparent symptoms. When

symptoms of breast cancer develop they may include:

New lump in breast or underarm (armpit)

Changes in size or shape of breast

Thickening or swelling in parts of the breast

Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area

Pain in any area of the breast

Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood Irritation or dimpling of breast skin

Redness or flakiness in nipple area or breast

factors and various types of screen ings including mammograms.

There are two types of mammo grams: a standard two-dimensional (2-D) image where each breast is compressed from two different angles (top to bottom and side to side), and a three-dimensional (3-D) image, where the machine takes several low-dose x-rays, moving in an arc direction around the breast. While 3-D mammograms are in creasing in popularity, it may not be available in all areas.

Screening recommendations vary between experts, but for women at average risk for breast cancer the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)recommends biennial screening mammography from age 50 to 74 years. Before age 50, the USPSTF states the decision to start screening mammography should be an individual one. Women who place a higher value on the potential benefits of screening over potential harm may choose to start biennial screening between 40 to 49 years of age. Women with certain risk factors for breast cancer may need to start screening at an earlier age and may need more frequent screening.

Screenings can find cancer before symptoms begin. Therefore, getting screened is important even for those who feel fine. It is a good idea to talk with a doctor about potential risk

The American Cancer Society provides several steps to prepare for a mammogram, such as avoiding de odorants, antiperspirants, powders, lotions, creams and perfumes under the arm or breasts on exam day. Some of these products can show up as white spots on the x-rays.

Find a Health Center is a helpful tool for finding local mammography centers. Check to see that the imag ing facility you choose is certified and accepts your insurance. Many organizations offer free mammo grams and breast screenings.

The health and medical profes sionals at Optum Colorado advise talking with your doctor to discuss health history, any symptoms you may be experiencing, or preven tive screenings. Let Breast Cancer Awareness Month be a reminder to follow the suggestions here for health and wellbeing.

O cial state fish makes second comeback

Colorado succeeds in reintroduction

BY KEVIN SIMPSON AND MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

For decades, experts feared Colorado’s greenback cutthroat trout to be extinct, a casualty of mining pollution, anglers and more competitive species. So when biologists made the improbable discovery of a naturally reproducing population in a short stretch of Bear Creek west of Colorado Springs 10 years ago, they clung to the hope that the nearmiracle could be replicated.

On Sept. 23, Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed that the Bear Creek greenbacks now have company. Reintroduction efforts in Herman Gulch, the popular hiking destination just off Interstate 70 near the Loveland ski area, have yielded fish that are reproducing on their own — and sparking renewed optimism that other greenback stocking projects will soon follow suit.

State natural resources officials said the news affirmed their “bedrock mission” to support wildlife across the state and reflected years of collaborative effort among agencies. The stocking in Herman Gulch started in 2016, and now includes its first population of greenback cutthroats — the official state fish — old enough to reproduce .

“It’s kind of a waiting game for those fish to mature and reproduce,”

said Josh Nehring, assistant aquatic section manager for CPW. “So we’re just super excited and hoping to get a lot more populations out on the landscape.

“In a typical system, when we’re trying to start a population, we will often stock three-year classes — so stock fry (young fish) for three years in a row,” Nehring added. “And typically in three years they become sexually mature. And so hopefully after three years of stocking or four, we should have adults in the population to where they can start reproducing on their own.”

Colorado Trout Unlimited lauded the announcement as great news for the state’s watersheds, and a reward to the nonprofit’s volunteers who lugged water tanks bearing greenback fry up Herman Gulch multiple years in a row.

“For everybody who helped in some way getting fish into Herman Gulch, it’s a great first step toward that long-term conservation goal,” executive director David Nickum said. Wildlife advocates will be watching to see if reproduction is sustainable for such places in Colorado, he said.

That greenback cutthroat trout have managed to reproduce in the Herman Gulch high country is the latest development in a complicated, decadelong effort to reintroduce the threatened fish to its native streams. Like many species in the West, the greenback cutthroat used to be native and thriving in multiple streams in Colorado’s South Platte

River drainage, which stretches from the foothills and canyons of the Front Range to high mountain waters near the Continental Divide.

A Colorado Parks and Wildlife project for years has kept the public away from stretches of Bear Creek in a canyon west of Colorado Springs, where a reproducing population of the fish was discovered in 2012 following on and off speculation the species might be extinct. CPW teams electroshock small pools in Bear Creek to extract eggs (known as roe) and sperm (known as milt) from the fish before returning them to the creek.

Some of the reproductive material is taken to state and federal hatcheries to develop genetically diverse broodstock. Teams have then taken fingerlings from the hatchery in water-filled backpacks to various promising habitats in the high country — Herman Gulch, Dry

Gulch, the west fork of Clear Creek and Williams Gulch. Placing the fish in multiple habitats reduces the likelihood that events ranging from sediment to wildfire to disease pose an existential threat to the species.

But until now, the Bear Creek greenbacks have been closely guarded as the only self-sustaining population. CPW aquatic biologist Cory Noble led a team last spring that strapped on electrofishing backpacks and battled thick underbrush as they worked their way up the creek collecting fish for the project.

Seeing the results of that ongoing effort proved especially gratifying.

“It’s definitely highly rewarding to see that we’re making a difference now and that we have more than one population that we’re actually making headway in restoring that species out on the landscape,” Noble

How to vote and more

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Election Day is Nov. 8 with a U.S. Senate seat, eight congressional contests, races for four statewide offices, 100 state legislative jobs, 11 ballot initiatives and more at stake at the county and local levels.

As part of our 2022 election guide, we’re here to answer some questions about voting and how the election works. Let us know what other questions you have by filling out the form at the bottom of this article and we’ll do our best to answer them.

How do I register to vote?

Colorado has automatic voter registration if you get a driver’s license or interact in some other way with state government. But you may also register online with a valid driver’s license, Colorado identification card or Social Security number.

Is there a deadline to register?

No. Coloradans may register in person or online to vote through Election Day. To receive a ballot in the mail, you must be registered by Oct. 31, and you will have to return it to a drop box or vote center.

How do I check whether I’m registered?

Check your voter registration by entering your name, ZIP code and date of birth. You may also change your address online. But if your name changed, you’ll have to fill out a paper form. If your registration says it’s “inactive,” that’s because you’ve missed voting more than

Voting questions answered

once or your ballot was returned as undeliverable. You may re-register online or by submitting a paper request.

When will my ballot arrive?

Oct. 17 is the first day that ballots will go out in the mail to registered voters and must all be mailed by Oct. 21. If you want to receive a ballot in the mail, you must register by Oct. 31. If your ballot doesn’t arrive, contact your county clerk.

What if I don’t receive a ballot in the mail?

Contact your county clerk’s office and they will be able to help you.

How do I return my ballot?

Once you’ve filled out your ballot, sealed it in the return envelope and signed and dated the envelope, put it in the mail or take it to one of 400 drop boxes or 350 voting centers. (Most voters drop their ballots off.)

Your ballot must be received by 7 p.m. Nov. 8. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office says ballots should be deliver in person, not mailed, after Nov. 1.

You may sign up to use BallotTrax, and you’ll receive an email, text or both when your ballot is accepted.

What if I want to vote in person?

More than 350 voting centers will open Oct. 24 at the latest (some counties may open earlier). Contact your county clerk for nearby locations and hours where you may vote in person. Polls are open Saturday, Nov. 5; Monday, Nov. 7; and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 8.

Do I need identification to vote?

If you vote in person or are vot-

ing by mail for the first time, you must present identification such as a driver’s license, U.S. passport or other identification on this list.

Where can I find more information?

To register online, check your current registration and get key election information, GoVoteColorado. gov is the place to start. It includes a variety of election information.

Where can I get more information about the state questions on the ballot?

Every election, the Ballot Information Booklet (known as the Blue Book) is produced by the state. It

provides voters with impartial analysis of each initiated or referred constitutional amendment, law or question on the ballot. It includes a summary of the measure, arguments for and against, and a brief fiscal assessment.

said. “It is kind of my life’s work, and this makes it seem all worth while.”

Although Bear Creek no longer holds the distinction of harboring the only self-sustaining population of greenback cutthroat trout, Noble said he does not expect any changes in the management of the drainage that might loosen restrictions for hikers or bikers.

“We’re still quite a number of years off from having fully restored greenback cutthroat trout popula tions throughout the state,” he said. “So I think that Bear Creek does remain critical for the recovery of the species.”

Workers at the Mount Shavano State Fish Hatchery in Salida and the Leadville National Fish Hatch

ery also celebrated the Herman Gulch discovery after spending years on the often difficult work of nurturing the broodstock — a smaller population raised in opti mal conditions for breeding and eventual dispersal. Genetic material extracted from cutthroat in Bear Creek makes quite a journey before its fingerlings find their way to wa terways that might be conducive to their survival.

Generally, Bear Creek yields few eggs, but the milt from the males gets transported to Salida, where workers relay it to Leadville, where it’s introduced to eggs, which then return to the Salida hatchery to grow. The survival rate is notori ously low — about 10%, said Bryan Johnson, manager of the Salida hatchery.

“We spend a lot of time counting eggs,” said Johnson, leader of the seven-person crew at the hatchery.

“It’s a yearlong process to produce

the fish that actually go back into our broodstock. It takes about a (full time equivalent) every year to work on these cutthroats. A lot of times, it hasn’t always been rewarding. Now to see this, it makes everybody happy to see the goal come to frui tion after all these years.”

Thriving trout are an indicator of a healthy watershed, while loss of trout is an early warning sign of a declining stream, Nickum said. De clines of fish and flies for their food on the Colorado River near Granby prompted years of work resulting in the recent groundbreaking for re connection of the river at the Windy Gap dam, which had disrupted natural water flows.

More habitat for the greenback cutthroats broadcast from Bear Creek origins is on the way in Lost Creek Wilderness, once state officials make sure a stream there that is part of the South Platte River drainage is free of whirling disease,

Nickum said. Other greenback cut throat projects supported by Trout Unlimited are at various stages at the headwaters of the Cache la Poudre River in northern Colorado, where CPW has developed addition al broodstock.

Joe Bushyhead, an endangered species attorney with WildEarth Guardians, called news that the greenback cutthroats have begun to reproduce in Herman Gulch heartening. But he said the work to restore the state fish is not done.

“These native fish have a long path to recovery in the wild, and news of a reproducing population marks progress.”

(8) Insurance Requirements:

(a) A licensee shall inform his or her insurance company that the property covered by the insurance company will be used as a short term rental before any short term rental transaction is processed, regardless of whether the licensee obtains liability insurance for the short term rental through that insurance company. The licensee shall verify compliance with this notificationrequirement by executing and submitting a form affidavit provided by the City during theapplication process.

(b) A licensee shall maintain liability insurance to cover use of the short term rental in an amount determined appropriate by the insurance company insuring such short term rental, but in any case no amount of less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate. Such coverage shall be maintained in full force and effect for the term of the license. Alternatively, a licensee may elect to conduct each short term rental transaction through a third party hosting platform that provides equal or greater insurance coverage for each short term rental use, provided that the licensee abides by the notification requirements above.

(c) A licensee shall maintain an insurance policy as described in this subsection (8). Failure to maintain an insurance policy as described in this subsection shall be cause for automatic suspension of the short term rental license until the coverage is reinstated.
