A local National Weather Service volunteer observer makes temperature and precipitation observations each day at about 8 a.m. at the Georgetown Weather Station. Wind observations are made at Georgetown Lake. “Max” and “Min” temperatures are from digital displays of a “MMTS” (“Maximum/Minimum Temperature System”); “Mean daily” temperature is the calculated average of the max and min. “Total Precipitation” is inches of rainfall plus melted snow. “Snowfall” is inches of snow that accumulated during the preceding 24 hours. T = Trace of precipitation. NR = Not Reported. “Peak wind gust at Georgetown Lake” is the velocity in miles per hour and the time of the maximum wind gust that occurred during the 24 hours preceding the observation time. Historic data are based on the period of record for which statistical data have been compiled (about 54 years within the period 1893-2022). Any weather records noted are based on a comparison of the observed value with the historical data set.

has been working with as it has transformed its education model for students at all grade levels.
Quanbeck said she is leaving the district stronger than when she started in July 2019, with educators moving toward more outdoor, experiential education, something that engages students in learning.
She said she will leave sometime this fall, and her new job is structured in such a way that she can be available to help in Clear Creek while the district transitions to a new superintendent.
“I’m announcing this really early so there’s lots of time to transition to a new leader,” Quanbeck said. “I love the work we’re doing. We have really good leaders and a good strong team throughout the district.”
She added that she really cares about getting students out of their desks, out of their classrooms and out of traditional learning.
“ at’s the right move for kids,” she said. “Otherwise we’re failing our kids. at’s what I’m passionate about, and I want that role on a bigger level.”
e Clear Creek school board was expect to meet on June 27 at Carlson Elementary School to begin discussing how to move forward with searching for a new superintendent.
Board President Sandi Schuesslersaid the board will consider hiring McPherson & Jacobson, the rm it used to aid in the search that brought them Quanbeck.
Many accomplishments

Schuessler said Quanbeck has elevated the district as a vital component of a thriving community.
“She has led the way to ensuring that all of our students receive exceptional educational experiences, and she has implemented creative and innovative ideas to transform learning,” Schuessler said. “Karen is a master collaborator who deeply values the voices of everyone in the district and is passionate about our e orts to grow future leaders.”

“Karen has not only recruited and brought in talent but has encouraged all CCSD employees to do meaningful professional development,” Schuessler said. “Karen has integrated the Clear Creek School District into the forefront of statewide initiatives including the Homegrown Talent Initiative and Transcend.”
Schuessler called Quanbeck’s communication with the community, families and the school district’s employees responsive, thoughtful and decisive.
“CCSD is better because of her ability to build trust and from her constant presence in school and community activities,” she said.
“Karen cares very deeply about this district and our community, and we are a stronger place of growth and learning because of her tenure.”

Additional funding on the horizon for Virginia Canyon Mountain Park
Additional funding to help with trail construction at Virginia Canyon Mountain Park could be on its way about a year after the rst portion of the trail opened for public use.
e park, which is on land given to Idaho Springs by Clear Creek County in 1999, covers 400 acres and is located north of the city above Argo Mine and Mill. e project is a collaboration between Idaho Springs and the Colorado Mountain Bike Association, known as COMBA.
COMBA Director Gary Moore noted in an email that the organization would likely have news to share soon but could not comment until details regarding the potential funding has been nalized.
According to COMBA, approximately 12 miles of trail are planned, and it will ultimately o er a combination of multi-use trails as well as those speci cally designated for hikers or cyclists.
Idaho Springs received a $360,000 Great Outdoors Colorado grant for trail and amenities construction in June 2022, after a soft opening for residents only, which occurred in May 2022.
Georgetown considering options for Town Hall
Georgetown is exploring possibilities to make its historic Town Hall building more accessible.
Town Administrator Rick Keuroglian con rmed there are several ideas the town has been evaluating. Potential ideas include moving the Town Hall meeting room to the bottom oor of an accessory building and turning the current building into town o ces. e town also could move the town hall to a separate building in Georgetown.
In May, the town’s Board of Se-
lectmen authorized spending up to $4,200 to allow Tom Peterson of TJP Architect to do an accessory building pre-design. Selectmen said the pre-design would determine what size and type of structure could be built on the vacant property behind the Town Hall, according to meeting minutes.
Currently, the town o ces are in the historic Star, Hook and Ladder building on Sixth Street, and the Board of Trustees meeting room is on the second oor, which is not accessible by elevator. Town o cials have for years been considering
potential solutions to upgrade the facility and ensure access for all.
Keuroglian con rmed it was a town priority when he was hired in spring 2022. Further, the town described some of its challenges in a 2017 History Colorado grant application.
“Preserving the Star, Hook, & Ladder Building so that it may remain open to the public provides Georgetown with a great avenue to draw attention to the bene ts of historic preservation,” town o cials wrote.
“As it is right on the main commercial thoroughfare, the restoration work of the building will attract attention from the community and heritage tourists.”
Blue Spruce Habitat gifted a truck
Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity has received a Frontier truck from Nissan as part of Nissan’s support for Habitat a liates across the United States.
“We are so grateful to Nissan for the donation of this beautiful truck,” said Kathleen O’Leary, executive director of Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity.
“ e truck will be indispensable for us as we build and repair homes in our community.”
Blue Spruce Habitat recently built eight homes in Empire and several homes in Kittredge, and it has a home-repair program.
Nissan has contributed more than $20 million to Habitat for Humanity nationally since 2005.

in 1928 to Helen and Herman Yost
Sr. He attended Idaho Springs High
School and when he turned 16 in 1944, he joined the Navy. Two years younger than the required age to enlist and small in stature, he ate bananas to try to gain weight, Red’s son Ken said.
He served in World War II and
Korea until being honorably discharged on Nov. 23, 1954. After the service, he moved to Pennsylvania, where he married and had ve children. He was a lifetime member of the American Legion and the Elks. Red died on Dec. 12, 2007.
About 25 members of Red’s family including four of his ve children, plus grandchildren and great-grandchildren attended the ceremony.
Red’s family learned of the oversight when grandson Bill Yost, who was named after his grandfather, moved from Pennsylvania to Lafayette, Colorado. He and his family made the trek to Idaho Springs to explore the town where his grandfather spent his childhood and found the World War II veterans memorial.
“I saw his name was not on the monument, so I contacted Troy (Erickson),” Bill said. “I was blown away by how quickly this came together.”
Erickson, who is the Clear Creek County’s veterans service o cer, said he went to Idaho Springs ofcials, telling them, “We’ve got to
make this right.”
He said he was grateful the family brought the oversight to his attention.
Harmon said this was the rst name added to the World War II memorial, which has about 400 names on it, since before the pandemic.
“It’s a real honor,” Harmon said. “I’m glad we could add a name. We are committed as a city not to let the World War II memorial fall into disrepair.”
Bill told his family members and others attending the ceremony that his grandfather was the person he wanted to be most like. His grandchildren were the lights of his life, and he had many stories to tell.
“Popa is looking down and very happy about this,” he said, referring to memorializing him on the Idaho Springs World War II monument. Red’s son Bill Yost said his dad talked about his time in the service often, adding, “He was very proud of the Navy.”
Thanks to a coordinated e ort from the Clear Creek County Department of Human Services, Clear Creek EMS, the Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners and law enforcement including the Clear Creek County Sheri ’s O ce, Georgetown Police Department, Idaho Springs Police Department and the Empire Police Department, Clear Creek County is launching its Crisis Response Team this July.
e agencies researched Crisis Response programs from around the region and based on that, constructed the framework for the Clear Creek Health Assistance Team, or CCHAT. e team will start with two providers, a paramedic and a Licensed Crisis Clinician, who would be in service 40 hours per week. e goal is to gather data that will help the county understand the overall
need, in addition to sta ng resources required and coverage.
Analyzing this much-needed data will allow sta to make informed adjustments to the level and frequency of service moving forward. When the Licensed Crisis Clinician is not sta ed and this type of call comes in, the Je erson Center for Mental Health will be able to respond to ll the gap. e CCHAT team will be overseen by Clear Creek EMS and housed at Station 1A in Dumont.
Megan Hilere CCHAT is a well-researched, innovative concept in how rst responders can e ectively help and respond to an increasing number of
challenging calls made to 911. Last year, those calls represented 15-20% of total 911 calls. Clear Creek EMS’ oversight of the CCHAT will provide the ability to bridge the gap between the myriad of programs throughout the county with the individuals who would bene t the most. e Community Integrated Health Care Service, Clear Creek EMS’ most recent licensure, will serve as the driving tool to integrate all facets of patient care in Clear Creek County.
“ is is a very exciting partnership with multiple entities that will do a lot of good for the community,” Clear Creek EMS Captain Clark Church said. “I want people in the community to know that we are there to help you when you need it most, and there is no shame in asking for help.”
e CCHAT will also provide outreach to community members with
known history with law enforcement or EMS, or those who have cooccurring disorders in addition to outreach to areas where community members may need support connecting with services, and resource navigation. e types of calls that CCHAT will handle are disturbances, indecent exposure, intoxicated persons, Safe2Tell, suicidal persons, psychiatric calls, trespassing, unwanted parties, and welfare checks. e goal is to reduce arrests and contact with law enforcement when a community member is experiencing a nonviolent crisis, reduce ER visits, connect at-risk community members with services and reduce costs.
Just So We’re Clear is a column about Clear Creek County updates from Clear Creek County Public Information O cer Megan Hiler.
Irecently worked with a nine-yearold male-presenting client who had one of the most unique dispositions I have seen in a long time. I believe a primary contributing factor to his brilliant ability to connect was this: My client was allowed thirty minutes each week of personal screen time for gaming and connecting with friends, and only on the weekends (not including school work).
Notice what you’re doing at this moment. Can you name the reaction(s) you’re having as you read the above sentence? How does this idea resonate with you? How would the notion of the choice to restrict your children’s access to devices — impact your life and that of your children?
I share his story here because if you’re a parent, you may be feeling the acute disruption of the transitions with the season: school is out for the summer, school start times are changing for the fall, and the weather is more changeable than it has been in recent years.

and as we did, he let me into the world of the green space behind his parents’ home. My client, it turned out, was quite an explorer of that world beyond the low stone wall.
He came alive in the most animated and focused way as he shared all he knew from his adventure with his older siblings into the natural world. He could name an abundance of creepy crawlers, ying insects, beetles, caterpillars, small mammals, birds and larger wildlife that roamed the forest and meadow.
He told me he was an avid treeclimber, and taught me how he scoped, then clambered into the crooks of the various trees. He could name many plants and the types of trees. is was his world.

no connection whatsoever to the natural world around them. ey literally could not relate to my client. He was the only one who had a keen understanding of, not only the green space he could so easily step into each afternoon but his place within it. He was the only one of his friends who could climb a tree.
During one session I asked how he might share that world with me. He replied instantly, “I can draw it for you!” And he did! His mother put up a big piece of butcher paper and he brought his marker pens to the session.
As he drew, he described what he was seeing in his mind’s eye. I watched in wonder as he created his world. I’d ask a question which would open a new channel and he’d excitedly explain what he was making and how it related to other parts of his giant mural. He took it to school and shared it with the class. From that experience, his teacher formed a eld trip so the class could experience it for themselves.
His connection to the natural world and whole-hearted excitement in sharing it with me was testament to

UNLearn It! Lab: There are a few ways to respond to the pressure to delight your children:
If you feel pressure to be a stellar parent, ask yourself where it comes from. Give yourself space to voice any fears that you don’t measure up. What belief system(s) are driving your need to provide? Are your solutions complex and expensive? Where can you simplify your beliefs about what your child needs? If you don’t already, spend time to engage your children in the natural world.

Deadline Wed. for the following week’s paper.
We humans want the most out of life, so why shouldn’t we push to get more of what we want?
at’s what some rock climbers must be thinking. ey want to enter designated Wilderness in order to drill permanent anchors into wilderness rock faces, turning these wild places into sport-climbing walls.
When the Wilderness Act became law in 1964, it put wildlife and wild lands rst, decreeing that these special places should be left alone as much as possible. is unusual approach codi ed humility, arguing that some wild places, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, needed as much protection as possible.
So far, the Act protects less than 3% of what Congress called “untrammeled” public land in the Lower 48. ese are unique places free of roads and vehicles and most manmade intrusions that a ict the rest of America.
e Wilderness Act also prohibits “installations,” but to get around this, a group called the Access Fund has persuaded friends in Congress to introduce a bill that would, in effect, amend the Wilderness Act.
Introduced by Rep. John Curtis, a Republican from the anti-environmental delegation of Utah, and cosponsored by Democrat Joe Neguse from Colorado, the “Protect America’s Rock Climbing Act” (PARC Act) has been promoted as bi-partisan.
Yet over 40 conservation groups, from small grassroots greens to large national organizations, have written Congress to oppose the bill. Wilderness is not about human convenience, they say, it’s about safeguarding the tiny pockets of wild landscape we’ve allowed to remain.
e PARC Act directs federal agencies to recognize the legal use of xed anchors in Wilderness, a backdoor approach to statutory amendment that even the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior oppose.
In a hearing on the bill, the Forest Service stated that “creating new de nitions for allowable uses in wilderness areas, as (the PARC Act) would do, has the practical e ect of amending the Wilderness Act. (It) could have serious and harmful consequences for the management of wilderness areas across the nation.”
Beyond the permanent visual evidence of human development, xed anchors would attract more climbers looking for bolted routes and concentrate use in sensitive habitats. at impact is harmful enough, but the bill also sends a loud message: Recreation interests are more important than preserving the small bit of Wilderness we have left.

October 22, 1927 - February 21, 2023
What’s coming next is clear. Some mountain bikers, led by the Sustainable Trails Coalition, have introduced legislation to exempt mountain bikes from the prohibition on mechanized travel in Wilderness. en there are the trail runners who want exemptions from the ban on commercial trail racing. Drone pilots and hang-gliders also want their forms of aircraft exempted.
What’s confounding is that climbing is already allowed in Wilderness. is bill is simply about using xed bolts to climb as opposed to using removable protection. at’s apparently confusing to some people.
An article in the Salt Lake Tribune went so far as to wrongly state that, “a ban on anchors would be tantamount to a ban on climbing in wilderness areas.”
But now, even some climbers are pushing back. e Montana writer George Ochenski, known for his decades of rst ascents in Wilderness, calls the Tribune’s position “Total bullsh*t.” In an e-mail, he said bolting routes “bring ‘sport climbing’ into the wilderness when it belongs in the gym or on non-wilderness rocks.”
For decades, many climbers have advocated for a marriage of climbing and wilderness ethics. In Chouinard Equipment’s rst catalog, Patagonia founder and legendary climber Yvon Chouinard called for an ethic of “clean climbing” that comes from “the exercise of moral restraint and individual responsibility.”
We don’t like to think of recreation as consumptive, but it consumes the diminishing resource of space. And protected space is in short supply as stressors on the natural world increase. With every “user group” demand, the refuge for wild animals grows smaller. Meanwhile, a startling number of our animal counterparts have faded into extinction.
As someone who loves trail running, I understand the allure of wedding a love of wild places with the love of adventure and sport. But I’ve also come to see that the ip side of freedom is restraint, and Wilderness needs our restraint more than ever.

After 95 years of good living, Boyd Quinn – husband of Audrey, father of Scott, Kathi and Casey, grandfather of Amanda, Casey James, Davis, Jensen and Aurora, friend of too many to name and community builder extraordinaire – passed quietly in his sleep on February 21st, 2023. Born in Wichita, KS, on October 27th, 1927, Boyd became a resident of Clear Creek County at 4 yrs old when he settled into his home at the corner of Fall River Road and Hwy’s 6 & 40 with his mother, Anna and his older brother Harold. In high school, Boyd played drums in the Idaho Springs Drum and Bugle Corp but changed to the bugle after a winter of carrying his snare drum home from what is now Carlson Elementary School to his home on Fall River Road. Following his graduation from high school, Boyd served as a Marine at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii following WWII. He returned to Idaho Springs, married Audrey Meisel (also an Idaho Springs graduate) and started a family. As a “bulldozer man” for Clear Creek County, Boyd earned a state-wide reputation for his skills for quickly clearing the highway following the Disney Avalanche on Berthoud Pass in 1957. Boyd put his skills to work building the Guanella
Pass road and then volunteering to do “the dirt work” to clear and level what became the high school football eld. Boyd and Audrey were two of the founding members of the “Idaho Springs Auto Racing Club, Inc.” established in January of 1959. e racetrack was the very same ground that Boyd later dedicated hours of his life to building a baseball program upon and is now known as “Boyd Quinn Field.” Boyd went to work for e Coors Porcelain Company in the early 60’s as an “experimental technician” and worked on projects such as the ceramic studs for snow tires, the ceramic putter and parts for the space shuttle. Boyd also served as the Boy Scout Pack Leader of Troop #91 and was known by many for his beautiful tenor voice when singing with the United Methodist Church choir. Boyd was a quiet man whose legacy is his commitment to his family and community. He joins his wife, Audrey and his grand-daughter, Amanda Capper, in the great playground in the sky. Boyd’s did not want a celebration of life service. e family requests donations be made in his name to the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank.
When Sedalia resident Andrea Ogg received a heart transplant in July 2018, she made a promise with herself to live a full life in honor of
her donor.
As Ogg competed in the Slacker Half Marathon from Loveland Ski Area to Georgetown on June 24, she hoped to embody that promise.
“For me, the half marathon is the exclamation point on that sentiment
of my just unending gratitude that someone made this decision (to donate their heart),” she said. “It’s a big responsibility.”
Ogg, now 57, was born with a rare congenital condition called left ventricular noncompaction cardio-
myopathy, in which the lower left chamber of the heart doesn’t develop correctly. However, she didn’t learn about the condition until an unrelated echocardiogram in her mid-30s.
For years, she struggled to exercise, fainted regularly and experienced shortness of breath — all symptoms of the heart condition she didn’t know about. But she internalized the idea that she was lazy, unathletic and unmotivated to put in the work necessary to get in shape.
Learning of her heart condition was hard but also validating.
“In reality, I’d been working harder than everyone else just to get through life,” Ogg said.
After being diagnosed, she continued to manage her symptoms with a cardiac de brillator for some 15 years before her heart stopped at a play rehearsal, putting her in endstage heart failure and on the list for a transplant.
Transplant surgery and the subsequent recovery weren’t easy. Ogg had complications that required
additional procedures, and she ultimately stayed in the hospital for a month or so.
But “a rough start certainly doesn’t mean a rough life,” she said.
As an immunosuppressed person, Ogg spent much of her strict pandemic quarantine getting in shape. She got outside and hiked a lot before deciding to begin training for the Slacker earlier this year.
“After a lifetime of being left behind physically, Ogg has spent the past ve years focusing on her health and tness, counseling others who are pre- and post-transplant, and checking o bucket list items, like the country’s “highest downhill half marathon,” said Cheryl Talley, director of communications and public relations for the Denverbased Donor Alliance.
Exercise is easier with a healthy heart, but there are still challenges. For example, when Ogg’s original heart was removed, it was separated from the vagus nerve, the main nerves of a person’s parasympathetic nervous system. For the average person, this nerve system ensures the heart knows to beat faster during
exercise to give their lungs more oxygen.
Some hearts reinnervate post surgery, but Ogg’s has not. is makes warming up even more crucial than it is for other runners.
“I just have to go by how I feel,” Ogg said.
For the Slacker, which descends from the base of the Loveland Ski Area more than 2,000 feet in elevation to downtown Georgetown, Ogg planned to begin walking at a brisk pace before beginning to jog.
She nished in just over 3 hours, wearing a sign honoring her heart donor for the course of the race.
According to the Donor Alliance, one donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation, and save and heal more than 75 lives through eye and tissue donation. In Colorado and Wyoming, roughly 1,500 are on the waiting list for an organ transplant.
As Ogg approaches the ve-year anniversary of the transplant that changed her life, she hopes to continue honoring her donor and raising awareness about organ donation.
“People who receive new organs can go on to live extraordinary lives,” she said. “ ere can be a misconception about what life is like for organ recipients.”

The brain is overrated, according to Kadam Lucy James at the Kadampa Meditation Center.
“Have you ever felt peaceful in your head?” she asked.
She put her hands over her heart and said that’s where the mind is, adding that while the brain has conceptual reality, the mind exists in the heart, where we feel peace, love, joy and wisdom.
“If we can get into our heart, we automatically start to feel more peaceful,” she said.
James is temporarily living in Arvada and teaches meditation at the Kadampa Meditation Center. She started practicing about 41 years ago after she saw a “very peaceful person” in college.
“He was a student meditating on the end of his bed and I asked him what he was doing, because this was back in 1981, and meditation, no one had heard of back then,” she said.
Ever since, she’s been practicing and has taught all around the world, including England, San Francisco, New York City and now Denver. She hopes to one day achieve enlightenment, or in nite happiness and peace.
It takes a lot of hard work, but she said it’s the only thing where the more she does it, the happier she is.
It’s because, with meditation, the mind becomes naturally peaceful. Each person has a natural source of peace and happiness inside them, she said, and instead of seeking it elsewhere — relationships, ful lling jobs or material things — it’s already inside the body waiting to
be found.
e evidence lies in the random moments of peace and happiness everyone feels. It could be a torrential downpour and the mind is peaceful, settled and calm.
“What those moments show is that our mind is ne. And then what unsettles the mind is actually all our uncontrolled thinking,” she said.
Coming from the teachings of the Buddha, she compared the mind to a vast ocean. e waves are turbulent while below them is a vast, in nite, calm place. Waves of anxiety and negative emotions distort the brain but below those waves rests an incredible sanity.
“When our mind is settled, when we can let go of our troubled thoughts, and our turbulent thoughts, uncontrolled thoughts, then we naturally feel good. We naturally feel peaceful and we start to get a sense of our potential and who we really are, which is this person who has limitless potential, limitless happiness,” James said.
e rst step to unlocking that potential and happiness is to breathe.
Focus on the nostrils
Carol O’Dowd, a Trauma and Transition Psychotherapist and Spiritual Counselor assists her clients by meeting them where they are and o ering them acceptance through breathing.
“If you focus on your breath, you cannot simultaneously focus on all your internal dialogue. It cannot be done. e human brain is not wired that way,” O’Dowd said.
It creates a space between the thoughts. e stress and anxiety stored in the body don’t go away, but the practice of noticing the emotions and putting them on pause to breathe helps
calm the body down.
Breathing is a function of the body that automatically happens all the time. Focusing on that breath, O’Dowd compared it to a spectrum. What happens when the body stops breathing — death — is one end and the other is when the body pays attention to the breath — peace.
“It can be as simple as just experiencing that ow of air, and in and out of your nostrils. If you can place your attention there, that’s giving yourself a mini vacation,” she said.
O’Dowd encourages her clients to practice treating uncontrolled thoughts like a salesperson trying to sell them. Instead of buying, make them sit in the corner and return to them in 20 minutes after taking time to check in with the body.
It can also let go of stress. Pain, like what the ngers feel after working at a computer all day, can be a physical manifestation of stress. Holding on to that stress can lead to other health conditions.
“It’s not rocket science,” she said.
James said achieving enlightenment is extremely di cult, and while the teachings she studied laid out di erent steps and pathways, she simpli ed it down to three. e rst is focusing on the breath to relax. e second is identifying delusions.
A delusion can be jealousy, greed, competitiveness or other unpleasant thoughts. Most of the time, those thoughts aren’t controlled by the mind and enter the brain randomly. It’s the root

of many problems, she said, and they destroy happiness.
“It’s completely unnecessary. Which is the whole purpose of meditation, to show us how unnecessary it is,” she said. “We’ve been so busy trying to control everything outside of us.”
She compared it to anger with someone else. It may last for a few days and then one day, those angry feelings leave.
“If you can do that deliberately (getting rid of negative feelings), which we can, then you can see we stopped the grasping or stopped the delusions, we just experience deeper and deeper levels of happiness,” she said.
Identifying delusions is the rst part of the equation. e other half is universal love and caring about others. It comes from understanding everyone wants to be happy, and that there isn’t much di erence between people.
It can be a city councilor running for o ce, understanding their opponent wants the same things, but sees di erent ideas on how to move forward. ey aren’t always bad people.
Realizing that leads to the next step: wisdom. at takes understanding reality. It means turning away from the anxiety, sadness and other negative emotions and escaping to the reality within the body that possesses in nite happiness and peace.
“We can train in wisdom. Understanding that things are not as real as they appear,” James said.
Reese Wiench and Deyton Truitt said their marriage vows in a church built in 1885. But couples who were wed there in decades past would never guess that the extensive planning for the service didn’t require much in the way of human expertise. at’s because the couple turned to arti cial intelligence to create their wedding ceremony in Morrison on June 24.
Speci cally, ChatGPT planned the welcome, the speech, the closing remarks — everything except the vows — making ChatGPT, in essence, the wedding o ciant. Since arti cial intelligence is not recognized as a wedding o ciant by the state of Colorado, Reese’s dad Steve Wiench signed the marriage license.
ChatGPT provided a recording of the ceremony that was played through speakers on a stage in the front of the Historic Morrison Church. To make it more interesting, the family bought a robot mask to put on top of the speakers to make it appear that someone was speaking. e couple decided to get married quickly because Truitt deploys next week for the Army, and they wanted to be married so Reese can join him after he completes basic training. ey planned the entire wedding in ve days.
Reese said they were joking about how to get a wedding together that quickly. ey found a venue and decided that attendees would play kazoos to provide the music. ey found a wedding-cake baker, and the cake topper sported a bride and
an Army soldier. ey bought their wedding attire.
But they didn’t have an o ciant.
“So, we decided to try using ChatGPT to write the ceremony,” Reese’s dad Steve Wiench said.
ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, was developed by research company Open AI. Users can ask questions or input data, and ChatGPT will generate a written response to the desired length, style and detail.
Arti cial intelligence is being used more often in weddings from writing vows to helping with planning.
Truitt is a rm believer in articial intelligence, noting that it will change people’s lives by doing jobs in minutes that take humans hours. e family even used ChatGPT to write a press release announcing the wedding and a statement that was distributed to the 30 wedding guests.
According to the ChatGPT-generated statement handed out to guests:
“As the AI o ciant for Reese Alyson Wiench and Deyton Truitt’s wed-
ding, I will focus on celebrating their unique journey of love and unity, highlighting the remarkable merging of human connection and technological innovation. I will emphasize the power of their union to inspire, unite and break barriers, capturing the attention of the world with a story that transcends conventional norms. During the ceremony, I will eloquently express the signi cance of this historic moment and the limitless possibilities that arise when love and technology intersect.”
While arti cial intelligence can help those with di culties expressing themselves in writing and is becoming more prevalent, some raise concerns that it may be used by in place of human-conducted research and writing.
Reese, 23, works at children’s summer camps at Mount Vernon Canyon Club, while Truitt, 26, will be a network communication systems specialist after basic training at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina.
Truitt and Reese met on the Tinder dating site two years ago, and Truitt said he had such a good time with Reese from the beginning that “I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.”
Truitt said ChatGPT was easier for the couple to use to create the wedding ceremony because “I didn’t want to curate what an o ciant said.” Instead, they had control over the themes the ChatGPT o ciant used.
As part of the ceremony, the ChatGPT o ciant quoted scripture and expounded on the passages as they related to love, marriage and the future.
However, the couple didn’t read the script before the ceremony began, so it was new to them as they heard it at 8 p.m. during their wedding — having faith that the ceremony would be just what they wanted.
“I programmed (ChatGPT),” Truitt said. “I know it’s trustworthy.”
In the vows he wrote, Truitt told Reese he was sorry he couldn’t live up to what she deserved.
“I don’t have enough time on this Earth to give you all the love you deserve,” Truitt said, calling her kind-hearted, caring and genuine. “I love the person you are turning me into.”
Reese told Truitt she didn’t want to say anything cheesy or cliche, so she wrote him a love poem as her vows, ending with: “I know that you are with me because I am yours and you are mine.”
After the ceremony that included the ring exchange, the kiss and introducing the married couple, guests said they enjoyed the arti cial-intelligence generated wedding. Truitt and Reese were pleased, too.
“ChatGPT took something personal to humans like a wedding and enhanced it,” Reese said.

e former Clear Creek sheri ’s deputies charged in the June 2022 death of Christian Glass in Silver Plume will be in court again at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 7 for a status hearing in preparation for their trials.
Former Sgt. Kyle Gould and former deputy Andrew Buen were in court on June 21 for a 10-minute status hearing. An issue discussed at the hearing was whether Gould and Buen would have a joint trial or whether they would be tried separately.
Catherine Cheroutes, 5th Judicial District Court judge, said she believes they should be tried together because they were named together in the grand jury indictment, but no o cial decision has been made yet. Cheroutes told the defense attorneys that they would need to le for a “severance” to request separate trials.
e defendants’ attorneys have said that unequal media attention has been focused on Buen, so the defendants likely would pursue separate trials.
e attorneys asked for more time to work out details before the two men are tried in the case in which Glass, who was stranded in his car and called 911 on June 10, 2022.
O cers asked Glass to leave his car, but he refused in what turned into a stando that ended when o cers broke the car window and used a Taser on Glass, according to the indictments.
Buen shot Glass, killing him. Gould was not at the scene but was a supervisor watching Buen’s bodycamera footage. He ordered deputies to remove Glass from his car, according to the indictments.
In April, Cheroutes denied motions by both defendants to dismiss their cases.
second-degree murder, o cial misconduct and reckless endangerment. Gould has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment.
On May 23, four agencies reached a settlement with the family to pay $19 million. ree law enforcement agencies and the state will pay the settlement since o cers from four agencies were at the scene the night Glass was killed.
Clear Creek County will pay $10 million; $5 million from Georgetown; $3 million from the state of
Springs. It is the largest known single payout for police violence in the state’s history.
On May 24, Gov. Jared Polis apologized to Christian Glass’ parents, Simon and Sally, then declared May 24 Christian Glass Day and displayed Glass’ artwork that has been hung in the Capitol.
“What happened to Christian should not have happened,” Polis told Glass’ parents in a live-streamed statement. “We are going to do the best we can to avoid any parents going through what you have gone
Earlier this month, the Clear Creek County commissioners announced that the county would start a mental-health crisis co-responder program with its pilot program to be implemented this summer.
In a statement, they called the killing of Christian Glass a “reprehensible act” that should never happen again. ey also said Sheri Rick Albers had not “adequately accepted responsibility” for his role in the tragedy and needed to correct the gaps in training and protocols that existed when Glass died.
