BY DAVID JOSSELYN After a one-year hiatus, the Annual Central City Creepy Crawl is back. Central City is rich with history from the rough and tumble mining age of the 19th century, and Gilpin History invites

the City’s ghosts back to tell their tales every October. The Creepy Crawl takes groups up to 20 at a time on a tour through some of the historical buildings in town where they meet several ghosts who tell them their stories. Stories of betrayal, murder, poisoning, and the curse of the Hope Diamond are all on this year’s tour. The Creepy Crawl acts as one of the biggest revenue generators for Gilpin History attracting more

than 900 people per year, so this is an important event for the non-profit. Executive Director and Curator David Forsyth, Ph.D., keeps his eyes peeled for the ghostly stories all year long. He peruses obituaries and news articles as part of his historical research and whenever something creepy catches his attention, he notes it for use in October. Forsyth says Gilpin History enjoys the Creepy Crawls because they “get to explore the dark side of history” and “have fun with it a bit.” Another annual event, the Cemetery Crawl, has fairly strict rules on sticking to only known facts; however, the Creepy Crawls allows more literary license for embellishment. This year’s tour starts at the First National Bank of Central City Building on the corner of Continued on page 11

Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney I’ve been meeting with many people around both Gilpin and Clear Creek counties. The welcome has been friendly, almost overwhelming, with Register-Call fans pleased to see this historic newspaper alive and well. Aaron Storms has been so helpful in giving advice and assistance to our staff members. Aaron held down a full-time job and ran this newspaper literally from his bedroom with several computers. He indeed is a “miracle man,” and one of the greatest publishers in the 159-year history of this publication. We’re attempting to do everything Aaron was able to do and keep the favorite features and writers doing what they have been doing, reporting on local news. We had a request to get the crossword puzzle back in the newspaper, we will check into ordering The New York Times crossword puzzle in print. Sports are popular and we can leave politics at the door - that is quite refreshing. We’re looking for a new sports reporter to cover both girls’ and boys’ sports. That includes the often-overlooked wrestlers. We cherish school news and that includes theatrical performances, band concerts, and choirs. Christmas is coming and we might surmise that there will be some school concerts ahead. We need assistance from teachers to keep us informed on activities. Coaches need to provide us winter sports schedules. I have four children that all played sports, three daughters and one son. While living in Craig I had to fight with the school system to invoke Title 1 to fund and implement girls’ sports into the all-male programs.

School boards are vitally important, and I haven’t heard any criticisms of the local school board which is a tribute to the school administration. My mother was a schoolteacher for 45 years. I have been meeting with law enforcement officers as we back law and order fully. We have their backs and they have our backs. I find what is going on defunding police across America distressing and dangerous. We will be running the sheriff and police reports on a regular basis that we receive from the departments. We are working on improving our classified advertising, adding dates and codes so we can track when, and how long they run. We have published the delinquent tax list and the state amendments. I’m in favor of every time we pass a new law we have to eliminate one. There were over 600 new laws passed in the last legislature and that seems very excessive on our freedoms. Do we really need that many more laws? I’m a strong believer in local government with strong city councils and county commissioners where we can attend meetings and have discussion with our elected leaders. It doesn’t hurt to give them some thanks for their service. Being a public servant is a tough job with hard decisions and many demands. I’ve been reading the Weekly Register-Call for decades and remember the old Bill Russell newspaper double truck blasts from years ago. I’ve been to the Idaho Springs Rotary Club several times and heard a program about bringing back the Santa Shop this year, that has been in existence for 25 years

to fill gift bags for children. Donations can be made to The Clear Creek Santa Shop in care of The Clear Creek County Advocates, P.O. Box 21, Georgetown, CO 80444. Website is www.clearcreek countyadvocates.com. 303-6792426. Will be glad to speak to the local Rotary Club where I spoke with State Senator Sally Hopper years ago. I really respect service clubs. We need to get our local Gilpin County folks to give us information on Santa gift plans so we can round up toys for children in our local towns. We will provide free ads for donations and drop off sites for toys. A hot topic looming in Clear Creek County is swirling around rental property rules for tourists. There is some county government interest arising on wanting to limit what local property owners and residents can do with their private properties. Seems like the property owners can do what they wish as long as it doesn’t impact the neighbors. Being able to rent a home with the shortage of housing seems to be a vital service and essential income. Housing availability is in very short supply and home prices keep skyrocketing. Gambling revenues keep property taxes low in this county with a high demand for work force housing. Workers can’t find reasonable rentals leading to labor shortages. Veteran’s Day is November 11 and we will be running some excellent photos and features on veterans. If you have a story to tell about a loved one who served, let us know. The greatest generation is not forgotten.

Reminder: Ballots due for November 2 elections in Gilpin County The deadline for voting in Gilpin County is only days away. With the Nov. 2 deadline quickly approaching, there are several ways for voters to cast ballots. They include: - It is recommended that you don’t return your ballot through the mail because it might not arrive in time to be counted. The suggested “final mailing day” for returning a ballot was on Monday, Oct. 25. A postmark on the envelope isn’t a factor regarding a vote being cast, according to the Gilpin County elections department. Ballots were mailed to registered voters early this month. - If you have a ballot, you can drop it off at one of three collection boxes in the region. The drop sites include the Gilpin County Courthouse on Eureka Street in Central City,

the Gilpin County Community Recreation Center on Norton Drive, and the Gilpin County Public Works building at 135 Tolland Road, Rollinsville. The public-works building is a light-blue structure on the north side of the road. County workers pick up ballots from the official drop boxes several times a day. On Nov. 2, residents must drop off their ballot prior to 7 p.m. to be counted. - In-person voting is another option. Gilpin County offers in-person voting, called the Voter Service and Polling Center (VSPC), within the Community Center on Norton Drive from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays between today (Thursday) and Tuesday, Nov. 2. In addition, the Voter Service and Polling Center will be open between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30 – the final Saturday before Election Day. On Election Day, the Voter

The Gilpin County Office of Emergency Management and United Power partnered to place a 625-kw diesel generator on the Gilpin County School District campus. It was put into operation on September 30. The energy source was installed as a safety enhancement to serve both the community and school members in the mountain territory.

In the event of power outage, Gilpin County is required to notify parents and send students home because the school district does not have a back-up power option. The installation of the generator relieves concerns for school administration officials and parents of enrolled students. In addition, the generator has the capacity to provide a longer window of service, allowing Emergency

Service and Polling Center will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. in the Gilpin Community Recreation Center.

BALLOT ISSUES All Gilpin County voters will cast their decisions on three statewide issues: reducing property taxes, increasing taxes on marijuana and changing the way Colorado handles the money it receives. SCHOOL BOARD RACES The majority of residents in the mid-county and southern portion of Gilpin County will vote to elect two members to the Gilpin County RE-1 School Board. There are three candidates for the two positions: Sarah Swanson, Kirsten L. Goodlett, and Drew Albrecht. The two winning the most votes will serve fouryear terms. In precincts included in some northern parts of Gilpin County, voters will cast

votes for three members of the Boulder Valley RE-2 District. Candidates for one of the four-year terms include Nicole Rajpal, William Hamilton, and Gala W. Orba. Competing for the second board seat are Beth Niznik, Deann E. Bucher, and Kara Awaitha Frost. Kitty Sargent is unopposed for the third, four-year seat.

BLACK HAWK MEASURES Black Hawk voters will have the opportunity to authorize the city to collect more than $1 million in gaming taxes if two ballot measures are approved. The first question asks Black Hawk voters to decide if the city can tax “stadium games,” including keno, black jack, craps, Pai Gow, baccarat, roulette and similar games involving multiple players. If approved, the

tax will generate an estimated $420,000 in new revenues in 2022. The other question asks voters if they will approve a tax on sports-betting devices and kiosks. If approved, the new tax would generate an estimated $630,000 annually. Currently, Black Hawk doesn’t earn any money from sports betting, which was approved by Colorado voters two years ago. Ironically, state regulations require that legal sports bets must be wagered through a casino. However, 99 percent of all sports bets placed in Colorado last year were done via an application (app) affiliated with a casino in Central City, Cripple Creek, or Black Hawk. The other one percent of sports bets were placed in casinos, some of which have featured sports betting areas.

625-kw diesel generator installed on the Gilpin County School District campus Management to activate the site as an emergency warming center during and extended power outage in the area. The existing infrastructure was upgraded by United Power to ensure the generator can provide power to the entire school campus, including school buildings, gym facilities, the

bus barn, water storage and delivery systems, pumping stations, and the Eagles’ Nest Daycare Center. The generator operates on Tier 4 Diesel, an ultra-clean, low sulfur fuel, and incorporates advanced emission reduction technologies, which exceeds

Clear Creek County celebrates new health and wellness center On Monday, October 11 nearly 100 stakeholders and community members gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony held for the new Clear Creek County Health and Wellness Center. The 12,000 s.f. Health & Wellness Center has been the culmination of over 10 years of work and replaces Idaho Springs’ former facility in the 1,335 s.f. historic Jacob House. Numerous representatives from Clear Creek County spoke at the event to express their excitement upon completion of the project. The Center is an all-in approach to collaborative care and could become the new model for rural health care delivery. For this rea-

son, many of the project’s funders see the project as an investment in rural health everywhere. The facility will house primary care, state and federal eligibility programs, mental and behavioral health, Clear Creek County public health, (a special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children), and other CDPHE CORE services. It is estimated that the Health & Wellness Center will

receive 14,710 primary health care visits every year. The increase in capacity and collaboration is expected to directly impact an average of 4,695 residents per year. The project was developed by Clear Creek

County, designed by TreanorHL and constructed by Alliance Construction Solutions. The project received grant funding, as well as additional funding from the Henderson Mine and Gates Family Foundation. Other

stakeholders include representatives from Henderson Mill, Colorado Health Foundation, Freeport-McMoRan Foundation, Centura Health, St. Anthony’s Hospital, Pisula Development Company, and Henderson Mine.

Gilpin health care facility eyed for 2022 BY DON IRELAND Senior Reporter

The lack of a local doctor or health-care facility has been a problem plaguing Gilpin County for many years. However, it’s possible a medical service center could open in mid-county next spring. It also would be a center that would bring a limited pharmacy and some dental services to the county. There is a caveat: Someone’s going to have to contribute $150,000 to get the clinic ready for opening, then provide annual support to keep it operating. Clinica Family Health, a non-profit organization based in Boulder County, would like to open facilities in Gilpin County and Nederland, Boulder County. Clinica President & CEO Simon Smith said both sites could accommodate Gilpin County residents since many of the northern sections of Gilpin County are closer to Nederland. Smith said $150,000 is needed to help Clinica rent each office, renovate the space, acquire equipment and pay for other related costs. He noted the mid-county site - if Clinica can reach its financial goal - would be in the High

Country Professional Building on Highway 46, near the Gilpin Community Center and Christ the King Community Church. Clinica has asked the Gilpin County Board of County Commissioners to contribute to the $150,000 goal in its 2022 budget, a request that is being discussed by the commissioners. Smith said it is possible some of the money could come from funding the county received as part of the recent federal American Rescue Plan Act. He also said

Gilpin County, Black Hawk and Central City leaders are expended to finalize their budgets prior to year’s end. “There are no primary care providers in Gilpin County, which is one of the few counties in the state with that distinction,” Smith told the Gilpin commissioners at their Oct. 12 meeting.

County Commissioners hear residents’ complaints about school-mask mandate, proposed mining plan BY DON IRELAND Senior Reporter Gilpin County’s Board of County Commissioners still aren’t meeting in-person because of Covid-related concerns. However, that doesn’t prevent residents from airing a variety of concerns, complaints and opinions to the commissioners during their regular Zoom videoconference meetings. As an example, take the Oct. 12 BOCC session. Commissioners Linda Isenhart, Sandy Hollingworth and Web Sill got many comments – some heated – from residents who don’t favor certain rules or plans handled by the county. Isenhart, chair of the group, kept the nearly threehour meeting moving, handled guest speakers and a few disgruntled residents while maintaining order during the online session. Residents Chris Bockley and Darren Beck, who represented several parents, complained about the county’s health mandate, which requires masks in public buildings, including the Gilpin County RE-1 school building along Highway 119. The order, which has limited exemptions, requires wearing a mask by anyone 3 or older who enters a school district building, bus or other enclosed school spaces. The public health measures in Public Health Order 21-4

were implemented to “help protect the health, safety and welfare of Gilpin County school children, teachers and others from the deadly Covid-19 virus and its highly-contagious variants,” according to the order. The mandate is set to expire on Dec. 16 but potentially could be extended, depending on conditions at the time. Said Bockley, “The masks are causing more harm than they’re worth.” Added Beck, “You can pretty much go anywhere in the county and not wear a mask. However, when you go into a school, everyone has to wear a mask.” The two parents said other parents are considering protests and hinted at legal action if the county doesn’t drop the mask requirement. Resident Rhonda Horowitz-Romano, on the other end, said she’s in support of the mask mandate. “The masks will help keep the children safe,” she commented. Although the BOCC acknowledged the residents’ opinions, they didn’t offer their personal comments on the ongoing health department mandate. Mining plans in the works at the Albert Frei & Sons Walstrum Quarry also was a point of contention during the session. The open-pit quarry, located along Highway 6, primarily is in Idaho Springs, Clear Creek County, but also has some acreage in Gilpin County, south of the Central

City Parkway. Albert Frei Jr., who runs the decades-old family mining business, said the company wants to enlarge its mining area that is mostly in Clear Creek County. However, he needs approval from the state and some zoning and related permits from the part of the mine in Gilpin County. Residents Tim Preister and Debbie Johnson, who live in the Douglas Mountain area east of Highway 119, complained that night lights and dust emanating from the quarry can be seen from their homes. Preister voiced environmental concerns for wildlife in the area, a potential increase in truck traffic and other topics if the mine plans are approved. Johnson, a realtor, said the operation may cause a drop in property values. Frei, who provided the audience with a variety of maps and photos explaining the enterprise, tried to assure residents that the business tries to comply with government regulations. He cited the operation has been well-received in Idaho Springs, where it has donated to a number of youth organizations and community activities. The business owner said the mine produces materials used in aggregate, which is used for a variety of construction-related needs throughout the Front Range. Because most of the existing operation has nearly mined out the alluvium material, the

company wants to use more of its land to extract more materials. During his presentation, Frei showed photos of a herd of bighorn sheep that are frequent visitors at the site, noting the company has installed watering troughs for the animals. He also cited working with Jefferson County officials on the Peaks to Plains Trail, which is along Clear Creek Canyon in both Jefferson and Clear Creek counties, near the family mining operation. He said those interested in further information on the family business and its amendment-plans should visit: https://www.walstrum spuramendment.com. Although Frei characterized the company plans as an amendment to its existing operation of about 400 acres in both counties. He disputed claims that the amendment is an “expansion” because the work is planned for the existing property already owned by the company, which employs 95. “We want to be a good corporate partner in the community,” he said. When Preister pressed Frei on the subject of an incident involving dust arising from the mine, the mine co-owner apologized. “Am I proud of it? No, sir. Am I going to do everything I can to prevent this from happening again in the future – absolutely,” promised Frei. Preister complained Gilpin County residents weren’t in-

formed when Frei filed a plan with the state’s Department of Mining, Reclamation and Safety this past spring. As a result, Gilpin residents missed the deadline for giving their opinions to the state on the matter. Frei said the DMRS will meet to review the plan and potentially render an opinion in November. After that, the company hopes to ask Gilpin County’s commissioners for its approvals.

OTHER BOCC NOTES

- Clerk and Recorder Sahari McCormick said her department is dealing with a backlog of vehicle registration renewals. “We have been incredibly busy,” she told the commissions. Residents needing services should make an appointment in advance to visit the office, according to McCormick, who notes many renewals can be handled online by visiting DMV.Colorado.gov. - Responding to residents’ complaints about speeding and increased noise along Highways 119 & 46, Isenhart said she would ask Sherriff Kevin Armstrong and the Colorado State Patrol to increase patrols along those roads. - The BOCC approved a temporary liquor-sales license to Mid-County Liquors, which is opening a store on Highway 119, across from Taggert’s service state and near the Gilpin Public Library.

Regular Council Meeting Mayor Fey convened the regular meeting at 7:08 p.m. on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, in City Hall Council Chambers. Council members Jeff Aiken, Judy Laratta, Kara Tinucci and Mayor Jeremy Fey were present. Mayor Fey led the

Pledge of Allegiance and then asked for any amendments or additions to the evening’s agenda. An Executive Session was originally scheduled at the end of the meeting but did not appear on a revised agenda published October 19. Council moved to approve the change.

Local public works crew ready for winter

BY DON IRELAND Senior Reporter

Although only a few dustings of snow have occurred in October, Black Hawk Public Works Department employees are gearing up for snowfalls that occur sometime this winter. Checking the city’s equipment are (l-r) Chris Vincent (in the backhoe), Maintenance Services Manager Steve Jackson, Steve Martinez, Spencer Kunkel, Rick Orton and Benjamin Rodriguez. Drone photography by Don Ireland.

Snow is a four-lettered word that some people love, and other people detest around Gilpin County. Regardless of your feelings about nature’s frozen white gift, snow will arrive sometime in the coming weeks in the 150-square-mile county, with elevations between 6,960 to 13,294 feet and include miles of national forest. When snow arrives, public works crews from Gilpin County and the cities of Cen-

tral and Black Hawk will be ready to keep the roads clear for residents, school buses and casino visitors. Here’s a look at how each governmental entity is preparing for the winter season ahead when two inches of snow are on the roadways: GILPIN COUNTY Last year’s pandemic resulted in closed casinos and substantial financial losses. Gilpin County was one of the hardest-hit counties in the na-

tion, and the road to recovery has been a slow one. Director of Gilpin County Public Works John Combs said, “The demands on winter operations for public works are intense. Keeping the roads clear is a huge task. Safety for the traveling public and our crews is [a] priority, but being good stewards of the environment is an increasingly important part of the job. Our crews have been working very hard to keep up with our

Gilpin Library news: Expanded hours, new exhibits and programs, and more things to check out BY JEFFREY EGGLESTON If you’ve caught a glimpse of our marquee from Highway 119 lately, you’ll notice the Gilpin Library hours have changed. And that’s for good reason - so you can visit the library on school nights and over the entire weekend. Our new, expanded hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. This is the first time in library history that our doors have remained open on Sundays. We’re proud to respond to this expressed community need. Inside the library, our meeting room walls are being redecorated with the help of our neighbor and talented plein air and studio painter, Virginia Unseld. Her new exhibit, “Rhythms of the Land,” consists of landscape paintings in both acrylics and pastels. Remarkably, Virginia

has been painting western landscapes for more than 40 years. Her work has garnered multiple Best of Show honors and awards in exhibitions locally and throughout the southwest. “Rhythms of the Land” will be on display from October 23 to December 11. Meanwhile, adult programming is being revitalized, and local history enthusiasts will not be disappointed. On November 30 at 6:30 p.m., the library welcomes back published historian, B. Travis Wright, for an immersive presentation of archival photographs and rare video footage chronicling the history of Rollins Pass. Travis serves as President of the Board of the Grand County Historical Association and is Vice Chair of the Gilpin County Historic Preservation Commission. He is currently finishing his second book on Rollins Pass, to be released in 2022. His

presentation, “Rollins Pass: Stories of the Past,” will be offered as a virtual program with in-person viewing available at the library. Virtual participation requires registration, however all forms of attendance are free to the public. Finally, we’ve been adding more non-traditional items to our collection for checkout. Notably, our “library of things” now features two Singer Tradition sewing machines and two pairs of Winterial aluminum snowshoes for cardholders to borrow. This is in addition to our State Parks Backpacks, puzzles, and power check meters. And thanks to grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Library will be launching a laptop lending program starting in November. Stay tuned as we add more things that you can access with your library card.

roads and snow removal due to a lack of manpower. We are currently down seven employees from pre-Covid.” Gilpin County maintains about 150 miles of dirt roads and two miles of pavement. The county has two public works garages. One on Braecher Park Road behind Taggert’s convenience store on Highway 119, and the other on Tolland Road in Rollinsville. The public works crew currently has seven operators – half of the number it did two years ago. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) clears the main, paved roads in Gilpin County, including Highways 119, 46 and 72, along with Highway 6 and Highway 40, which connect I-70 and Golden to the southern part of Gilpin County. When it snows, Gilpin crews first plow the Level 1 main thoroughfare roads, followed by the Level 2 (school bus routes) and finally Level 3 (secondary roads). Combs said crews begin plowing after approximately three inches of snow on the county roads and work 12hour shifts. His department also communicates with the

Gilpin County Schools about the road conditions and expected snow totals to help them decide on cancellations and late start schedules. The county doesn’t use pre-treatment chemicals on dirt and gravel roads. Roads are treated with a combination of 80 percent sand and 20 percent ice slicer. CENTRAL CITY Central City Public Works Director Sam Hoover has six full-time staff members, a supervisor and himself as part of the snow-removal team. When snow is forecast, the staff is divided into two, three-person crews that work 12-hour shifts. There are 46.2 miles of roads in Central City, including the eight-mile Central City Parkway, which must be kept open. When it snows, Central City’s main priority is arterial roads, which Hoover says must be kept open to provide a transportation system connecting the fire stations, sheriff’s station and other essential services, including bus routes and steep hills. Hoover explained, “Each Continued on page 12

Looking back A turnback in time

Editor’s Note: “Looking Back” is a collection of historical newspaper reports from Gilpin County. 30 years ago October 25, 1991

Casinos in Central City and Black Hawk plan to offer a bonus to late night gamblers this weekend. They will be taking advantage of the extra hour afforded by the time change from daylight savings to standard time in the wee hours Sunday morning, October 28. Clocks are officially turned back at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning to 1:00 a.m., an occurrence that bar owners have often taken advantage of over the years. Casinos, whose hours of operation are, by state law, the same as bar hours, may also take advantage of the fall time change. Representatives from the Teller House, Molly’s Dostal Alley, the Long Branch Saloon, the Gilded Garter, Annie Oakley’s, the Gold Mine Casino and the Wild Card Casino all said their establishments would be open the extra hour tacked onto the end of Saturday’s usual hours. One establishment, though, elected to hedge its bet. After conferring with the general manager, a security guard at Baby Doe’s Silver Slipper Casino stated, “The casino will close at 2:00 a.m.” when asked if that meant the first 2:00 a.m. or the second 2:00 a.m. he repeated, “The casino will close at 2:00 a.m.” Night owl gamblers are encouraged to take advantage of the once-a-year opportunity to invite Lady Luck to smile on them for an hour longer than usual with the blessing of the state Gaming Division. A spokesman said Tuesday that staying open the extra hour during the time change is perfectly acceptable.

The Social Register:

Despite the recent changes around town, Carl Skagerberg waits at his usual bench for the VOA van to drive him out to the senior center. Skagerberg often takes advantage of the mild weather to catch some sun while reading through a newspaper. Another year of success for the Central City Opera Association! For the third straight year, opera performances during the summer sold out to delighted audiences. Critics praised staging and casting during this year’s Season in Intrigue, which featured Romeo and Juliet and Die Fledermaus.

60 years ago November 3, 1961 Central City Nuggets:

The season on elk and deer in Gilpin County, which started last Saturday, has brought hundreds of hunters into this vicinity, but to date we have heard of only one, Leonard Braning, being fortunate in bagging either animal in this particular vicinity. The deer have already migrated to their winter range in and around Sheep Mountain in Jefferson County and the few elk are only being found in inaccessible high mountain country. We suggest to the Game Department that the season on both these animals be closed for three years in Gilpin County and allow them to again propagate as in former years. Several hunters from here have been successful in bringing home buckskin, but they were killed on the western slope. Since the above was written, we hear that Jerry Powers, Fred Dellapetra, R. Olson and Don Mattivi were fortunate in bringing home buckskin, the game being bagged in lower Lake Gulch. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Thiel returned last Friday from a two month’s visit with relatives and friends in Chicago. Emil says he was quite busy looking after his real estate holdings in the windy city and is glad to be back in this land of sunshine. We salute and thank the teenagers of Central City and Black Hawk for their decorous and considerate manner in observing Hallowe’en. Their so-call depredations consisted in visiting residences, arrayed in costumes and masks and asking for a “trick or a treat.” What a difference as when I was a boy, and at that time it was considered as one of the essentials to turn over the various Kleiner Hausens decorating the back yards of most the residences; soap windows with candle grease, which was hell to get off; put cows and donkeys in the aisles of the churches; take apart the running gears from quartz wagons and install them on top of the Episcopal Church and school, and various other acts that were mean and dirty. Now all those pranks are passe, which is well, and perhaps the “trick or treat” gives more

happiness now than it did in the earlier days. Thanks, kids. Mrs. George Eustice returned Friday from Denver, where she visited her sister. Mrs. Andrew Eddy, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Prince and baby of Denver, visited Mrs. Elbert Lawry last week. Mrs. Eddy is Mrs. Lawry’s siter and the trip was made to celebrate her birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Ted Johnson of Boulder also visited the Lawrys last week. Black Hawk Gold Dust: Little Becky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dowell Blake, underwent a tonsillectomy last Wednesday, but is now able to be in school. After spending two months in New Jersey, Mrs. Hansine Baker has returned to her home at Mt. House. Her friend Mrs. Joyce Updegrove and daughter are living nearby in a trailer house. While on her way to work one day last week, Mrs. Helen Mueller’s car skidded on the ice and went off the road but no serious injury was done. She works at the Hidden Valley Café.

90 years ago November 6, 1931

Mrs. M. Bennett and daughter, Miss Anna, returned Friday evening from an extensive auto trip throughout the east, on a visit with relatives. They reported an enjoyable trip, with very little auto trouble, saw a vast expanse of country, and were glad to get back home again. Dr. William Mark Muchow arrived here from Chicago on Saturday and spent several days looking after the affairs of the Chain-O-Mines Company of which is the head and general manager. Mr. J.F. McDaniels, of Denver, spent several days in this city during the week taking pictures of the M.E. Church, the organ, the Opera House, the marker at Gregory Point, where the first gold mine was discovered in Colorado, several pictures of Nevadaville, the files of the Miner’s Register, in this office, of 1865, the Masonic Hall, and other points of interest in this city, which will be used on the screen in all parts of the country, showing early day events in this section of Colorado.

Harry J. Teller left for Denver Monday, to remain for the winter months. Mr. and Mrs. Fred McFarlane were up from Denver on Sunday, on matters connected with the Opera House, and the work being done there. Walter Jenkins was up from Alamosa, Colorado, on Tuesday, on a short visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.O. Jenkins.

Mr. Tom Fallon, of Nevadaville, fell a distance of 100 feet in the Clark-Gardner Mine, on Quartz Hill, on Friday afternoon, the result of a plank breaking as he was crossing a winze. Fortunately, his injuries were not serious, consisting of cuts on the head, besides being bruised about the body. It was a fortunate escape. The Daughters of Erin served a tencent tea at the residence of Mrs. John Brohl, on East Third High Street last Thursday afternoon. A steam heating plant is being installed in the First National Bank building, which will be a big convenience to the tenants. A Hallowe’en surprise party was given last Thursday evening in honor of Mrs. George Schneider, of Black Hawk, by members of Black Hawk Temple No. 41. Rathbone Sisters, when Mrs. Schneider was presented with a cut glass bonbon dish, in the course of an appropriate speech. A good time followed when cards were indulged in, with “ducking” and “snatching” for apples, and popping corn and other amusements. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Thor Crook, Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Forrett, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Ruttkamp, Mr. and Mrs. August Grutzmacher, Mr. and Mrs. O.I. Blake, Mr. and Mrs. John Rohling, and Mesdames J. Beattie, Al. Rogers, Rosa Percher, and Mrs. Will James, of Denver. Reports from Idaho Springs said that the Newhouse Tunnel had been driven into eh mountains a distance of 200 feet during the month of October, and the bore was now in a distance of 13,000 feet, and about 4,000 in Gilpin County, and passing through territory belonging to the Tunnel Company, and in another 2,000

feet the Saratoga Mine will be reached. The electric motor has been shipped from the East, and electric power will be used in its operation by the first of December. McFarlane & Company, of this city, have taken a contract for the erection of a ten rapid drop stamp mill, with modern equipment, near Caribou, for the Boulder County Mining Company, to be completed by January first. Born: In Leavenworth Gulch, Gilpin County, November 4th, 1901, to the wife of John Haun, a daughter. Married: In Cheyenne, Wyoming, November 1st, 1901, at St. Mark’s Church, James Williams and Miss Edith Noble, both of Nevadaville.

151 years ago November 18, 1871

Mr. Fred H. Conant, of the firm of Conant & Allen, arrived from the East on Thursday morning. Mr. J.W. Nesmith, of the firm of Orahood & Nesmith returned from a business trip East, on the stage on Sunday evening. Mr. H. Jacob Kruse was advertising for bids to drive the Quartz Hill Tunnel a further distance of from 50 to 100 feet. Rev. B.T. Vincent preached at the M.E. Church in this city on Saturday and Sunday evenings, and at Nevadaville Sunday afternoon. The total vote of the state, cast at the recent election for members of the Council, was 13, 642, a gain over the vote of 1870 of 2,739. A snowstorm on Tuesday morning had stopped all work being carried on at the Teller House. The town of Boulder had just incorporated and was getting ready to vote bonds for the completion of the railroad to that town. George M. Pullman, of Chicago, treasurer of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, had a card in Tuesday’s Register, acknowledging the receipt of $2,100, donated by the people of Central City for the benefit of the suffering people of that city, who lost everything in the late fire. A slight shock of earthquake was felt here and in Georgetown on Thursday evening, but no damage resulted.

“Old Glory” raised at Kingston Peak by public servants, brothers, and friends BY DANNY TOMLINSON

Each July, the Y Hike Jeep Club, together with the Military Jeepers of Colorado, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office, military veterans, and friends join together to raise Old Glory, a.k.a., the U.S. flag, at the Rock House atop Kingston Peak. Overlooking Loch Lomond Lake at an elevation of 12,043,’ trailblazers enjoy 360 degree views of the Continental Divide. For 4-wheel enthusiasts looking to explore one of the highest mountain roads of Colorado, it’s recommended to bring cameras for spectacular views. While enjoying the grand magnificence of the Rock House, this group of patriots

play the National Anthem, give a “Toast to the Flag,” pledge allegiance, and proudly place a new flag on the staff at the overlook. The Rock House is well above timberline and the mighty winds blows to accentuate her beauty. We take her down in late fall when she’s a bit weathered, but we’re Americans and we are mighty proud of her. Learn more about Y Hike Jeep Club and their adventures at yhikejeepclub.com and the Military Jeepers at militaryjeepers.com. More information on the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office can be found at co. clear-creek.co.us/761/ Sheriffs-Office. The U.S. Flag atop the Rock House at Kingston Peak.

New roads, new trailers, and drug money on agenda Continued from page 6

by Alderman Aiken. The motion passed unanimously three to none. Public Forum Mayor Fey opened the floor to the public for anyone who wished to speak to a topic on that night’s agenda. No one chose to address council. Old Business No old business was on the agenda. New Business Council considered action on three Resolutions. More Road to Maintain Manager Miera introduced Resolution 21-30 which would approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Gilpin County regarding Lake Gulch Road. Lake Gulch Road runs from Exit 7 on the Central City Parkway to Miners Mesa Road in Black Hawk. The City of Central will be responsible for maintenance of the road from the boundary of Black Hawk’s Lake Gulch Whisky Resort to Central City’s municipal boundary. Maintenance includes road improvements, snow removal, and appropriate lighting. The agreement also states that the City will improve the road (pave) at such time that is appropriate for the City to do so. Alderwoman Laratta moved to approve Resolution 21-30 and was seconded by Alderman Aiken. Mayor Fey thanked the City Manager and staff for keeping up with all the minutiae of these agreements. The Resolution passed unanimously. Drug Money Coming The City Manager next introduced Resolution 21-31 which would delegate authority to the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and other document related to the Colorado Opioid Settlement. The Settlement

is a result of a lawsuit by the United States vs Purdue Pharma, McKinsey & Co., Johnson & Johnson, AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson (pharmaceutical companies) for one count of dual-object conspiracy to defraud the United States and to violate the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and two counts of conspiracy to violate the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Colorado is receiving more than $300 million in the settlement which will distributed regionally to counties and government bodies. Gilpin County is in the same region as Clear Creek and Jefferson Counties. All monies distributed must be used for approved purposes outlined by the settlement which include treatment for, prevention of opioid addiction, services for children, first responders, community leadership, and staffing and training for any approved program. Gilpin County could receive about $179,000 over a three-year period. Alderwoman Laratta moved to approve Resolution 21-31 and was seconded by Alderwoman Tinucci. Mayor Fey asked if education would be a part of the approved programs for the money. Manger Miera gave examples of how education can be a piece of it including applying for grants from the State share portion to implement specific programming in education. The Resolution passed unanimously.

Water Trailer Approved Public Works Director Jack Beard introduced Resolution 21-32 which would approve the acquisition of water department equipment, specifically a water utility valve maintenance trailer. The purchase was slated to be a 2022 purchase; however, the City was recently notified that the price of the equipment was going to

increase substantially due to shortages of materials and labor. By purchasing in 2021, there will be a significant cost savings to the City. The total cost if purchased now is $100,576. Per Beard, acquisition of the trailer would increase efficiency and free up staff for other projects. Director Beard also reported that funds to purchase are available in the water budget this year. Alderwoman Laratta moved to approve Resolution 21-32 and was seconded by Alderwoman Tinucci. Alderwoman Laratta commented, “I think it’s a must; I think it’s a money saver.” The Resolution passed unanimously. Staff Reports and Council Updates Community Development Director introduced Central City’s new employee Jamie Boyle, Historic Preservation Officer and Special Projects Coordinator. Manager Miera reported that the pothole in front of Century Casino has been filled. Alderwoman Laratta said, “Kudos to everyone who stepped up for the people missing on the Staff.” Manager Miera added that the Staff “continues to be amazing and picking up where needed.” Mayor Fey announced that City Clerk Reba Bechtel is out due to a loss in her family and she and her family are in their thoughts. Public Forum Mayor Fey opened the floor to the public for anyone who wished to speak to the council on any items not on the agenda. No one chose to address council. Mark your calendars Mayor Fey adjourned the regular meeting at 7:48 p.m. The next regular Council Meeting will be Tuesday, November 2, 2021.

Main St and Eureka Street. First National occupied the building in 1863 and it later housed a tobacco shop, a doctor, a lawyer, and headquarters for Colorado’s first congressman, James Belford. The tour group was greeted by George Smith, played by Tom Matthews, who was known as the Eureka Street Ghost, walking up and down the street regularly until one frightened man tried to put a bullet into his apparition and Mr. Smith hasn’t been seen since. The tour guide next brings you to the historic Central City Opera House, built in 1878, where you meet Evalyn Walsh McClean, played by Gail Roderique, a mining heiress and socialite whose husband owned the Camp Bird Mine in Ouray, Colorado. She was the last known owner of the Hope Diamond which seemed to bring misfortune and death everywhere it went. A quick jaunt across Eureka Street to the Williams Stables where Mr. William “Bill” Slaughter, played by Mike Keeler, haunts the next stop on the tour. The stables used

to house carriages on the lower level while the horses were kept on the second story having gained access from 1st High Street above. The Stables are now used by the Central City Opera and the Peak to Peak Players (with permission from the Opera) for short stories, plays, and musicals. Jim Steele, played by Randy Schneider, hangs around the Miller Block on Lawrence Street where he will tell you his sordid tale of murdering the husband of Mrs. Brooks, played by Robbin Daidone, so he could marry her for her fortune. Unfortunately for Steele, Mrs. Brooks gets the upper hand with strychnine. The Miller Block was built for retail and later remodeled for housing as the economy changed. Shops included a jeweler, a baker, and a liquor store. In another unit of the Miller Block is this year’s final stop where you get to meet Mr. Bainbridge, played by Chuck Roberts, who was known for showing up with a noose around his neck having taking the blame for a robbery gone wrong. The room was covered from ceiling to floor in cobwebs to hide the eerie

lights and décor. The Creepy Crawl is put on entirely by volunteers and Dave Forsyth would like to give a shout out to Suzanne Matthews, Jim Crawford, and Gail Keeler for all their help. He also said that, although he does not know all their names (without looking them up), the Crawl would not happen without the tour guides that safely escort brave participants from building to building while adding their own stories along the way. If you missed this year’s Crawl, do not fret, for there are plenty of dead people with stories to tell and it will be back in 2022.

“Reflections on the Night Sky” Local public works SENIOR-AT-LARGE

crew ready for winter

BY LARRY GRIECO If Richard Brautigan was alive today, he would be 87 years old. If J.D. Salinger was alive today, he would be 102 years old. If Ernest Hemingway was alive today, he would be 122 years old. Brautigan published ten novels, two collections of short stories, and ten books of poetry. He lived only to the age of 49, his life ending in suicide in 1984. He took the literary world by storm when he published the novel, Trout Fishing in America, in 1967, but published his first book of poetry, Return of the Rivers, ten years earlier. His most well-known books, besides Trout Fishing, are The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966, In Watermelon Sugar, and The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western. My favorite Brautigan novel is Dreaming of Babylon: A Private Eye Novel 1942. Early in his writing career he was known to stand outside the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco and hand out collections of poems to passersby. He distributed for free a small collection of poems written on seed packets called Please Plant This Book in 1968, a copy of which was given to me by a friend shortly thereafter. I regret never having planted any of the seeds in the ground, but I have read the entire collection aloud in poetry readings, from time to time, and that’s like planting them in people’s minds, which is even better. His life and works have reached legendary status, although read mainly by hippies at the time. By now, those hippies—the ones still alive—are senior citizens, but they remember well the joy and sometimes pathos found in his writing and the pleasure they derived from both. I predict that after all of the hippies disappear, Brautigan’s works will have outlived his generation, as the great ones often do. Salinger published only one novel, The Catcher in the Rye, in 1951, for which he will be remembered for all eternity. A few of us will also remember him for his collection of short stories, Nine Stories, one of which may arguably be called the greatest short story of all time, “For Esme—With Love and Squalor.” Even fewer of us will have read, with enjoyment bordering on passion, his books about the fictional Glass family, Franny

and Zooey and Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters and Seymour, an Introduction. I read The Catcher in the Rye long ago, at a time buried somewhere in the 1960s, not as a high school assigned reading, as it was for millions of others around the world, but as a book I found on my own. The story of young Holden Caulfield, as told by himself, is mesmerizing and endearing. The degree to which all of us seem to be able to relate to Holden as he is coming of age is attributable to the genius of Salinger. The book speaks to us, whether or not we are skilled listeners or readers, so it is almost universally loved and embraced. (There are a few people, of course, who want to ban it from library shelves, and fewer who want to burn it, but let’s just ignore them.) I am not ashamed to say I still read The Catcher in the Rye once every couple of years, and I’m proud to announce that the book grows as I do, and has even grown old with me, as though it has a magical quality to span demographics and decades and will continue to do so for generations to come. Salinger’s Nine Stories has been praised by critics since its publication in 1953. “The Summer issue of the Yale Review (1953, p. XII) gave one highly concentrated paragraph of critical observation to the collection. ‘For Esme— with Love and Squalor’ was hailed as ‘certainly one of the great short stories of the last decade, and technically one of the most dazzling I know. The other eight stories are very nearly as remarkable.’” – (Marvin Laser and Norman Fruman, eds.) What a wonderful adjective to use in describing a story—dazzling! Several of the nine stories are clearly tales of various members of the Glass family. There was a convincing case made by critic Tom Davis in the Western Humanities Review (Spring, 1962) that Sergeant X in “Esme” was really Seymour Glass. In Franny and Zooey, two companion stories published in one volume, the Glass family siblings are clearly represented in the title characters, and in brothers Buddy and Seymour Glass who appear indirectly. In the publication Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters and Seymour, an Introduction, the former is the story of Seymour’s wedding day, while the lat-

ter is an extended essay describing Seymour himself, both written in the first person by Seymour’s brother, Buddy. Salinger died of natural causes in 2010 at the ripe old age of 91. Hemingway received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for a wide body of work, both fiction and non-fiction. He took his own life in 1961 a few weeks before his 62nd birthday. For me, the most outstanding of his books were his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, and his memoir published posthumously in 1964 detailing his life as a struggling writer and member of “the lost generation” in Paris in the 1920s, A Moveable Feast. I return to both of them frequently for pleasure and inspiration. No other writer, in my opinion, creates characters who come to life so vividly on the page. His style of writing—economical, sparse prose—had a great and lasting influence on American literature in the 20th century and beyond. So, Brautigan, Salinger and Hemingway wrote books that transcend time and space. They each were troubled souls and yet produced lasting art in the form of literary gems. I remember seeing John Updike in the late 1960s, appearing at the State University of NY at Buffalo campus. The presentation he gave about his life and the craft of writing will stay with me forever. One of the most insightful statements he made that evening was about how writers often make themselves sick by artificial means, usually alcohol and drugs, in order to write well. “While some of us,” he said, “are fortunate enough to be born with natural infirmities.” Natural infirmities such as depression and psychiatric disorders certainly apply to Brautigan and Hemingway, although there was likely a goodly amount of alcohol and drugs as well. Salinger had his own collection of natural infirmities which led to extreme reclusiveness and isolation. In Seymour: an Introduction, Seymour asks his brother Buddy, in reference to Buddy’s writing, “Were most of your stars out?” And later begs him, “Keep me up till five because all of your stars are out.” When I look at the night sky, I still see the stars of Brautigan, Salinger, and Hemingway, shining brightly as ever.

snowstorm presents unique conditions and challenges that warrant different approaches to snow and ice control. Factors such as wind, moisture content of the snow, pavement temperature, ice build-up on road surfaces, and projected snow accumulations all influence snow-fighting strategies.” The crews generally operate by spreading deicing materials from the center to the right side of the streets. However, Gregory, Eureka and Lawrence streets are a prime example of when plowing to the left is advantageous -- so when the snow melts, it drains properly. Hoover added that the first crew dispatched for a storm will apply deicing materials as needed to the road surface to prevent ice from building up, followed by plowing when sufficient snow accumulates on the road. Then as weather and road conditions change, crews will adjust to meet those conditions, including the use of deicer to part or all the road surfaces. The change could also include putting more deicer to icy spots, intersections, stop signs, hills and bridges, again based on conditions. “When plowed snow substantially restricts or blocks traffic, snow will be loaded and hauled to pre-determined storage sites… the majority of hauling will be done during off-peak traffic times at the end of a storm, or after the storm,” he commented. Parking on some streets may be temporarily restricted. These streets are marked with signs that indicate parking is not allowed when snow is over two inches deep. Hoover noted that steep grades, such as those found on County Road Street, Saint James Street, Church Street, Mack Road and Spruce Street, will be maintained throughout the storm to ensure safe travel. Central City road crews do not perform any pre-treatments on the road. Over the years, Central City Public Works has transitioned from a 20 percent salt/squeegee mix to Ice-Slicer, environmentally friendly products. According to Hoover, these high-performance granular deicing products are used to break the bond of snow and ice from roadways, walkways, driveways, and parking lots with naturally occurring minerals. Ice-Slicer can melt ice and snow down to 5 F. It also requires fewer applications and delivers better traction, so the need for sand

ADVERTISE

is eliminated. Regular road salt melts at 22 F. Beginning this year, crews will be experimenting with a liquid deicer called Apex “Melt-Down.” When it is mixed with the Ice-Slicer and dropped by the trucks simultaneously, it allows the Ice-Slicer to “stick” to the roadway surface, reducing the chance of ice to build up. The department will be monitoring the effectiveness of this product during the winter. BLACK HAWK Black Hawk Public Works Director Tom Isbester currently has six people in his maintenance department and hopes another will be added next year. When needed, workers from the water department and facilities crew pitch in to help plow and shovel sidewalks around the city. “It is a full public works effort,” he noted. Black Hawk, geographically, includes less than three square miles and has 17.5 miles of roads. It is a small city – with slightly more than 100 residents – but has 15 casinos that may attract up to 20,000 visitors daily. When snow falls, the primary roads cleared first are Miners Road, Main Street, Gregory Street and Richman Street. Miners Road is atop Gregory Hill, where the Public Works Building is located. The other primary roads are in the Gaming, Outstanding Lodging and Dining District, where the casinos are located. Although CDOT handles snow plowing on Highway 119, which runs through the heart of the casino district, Black Hawk occasionally removes snow when needed. “City staff frequently augments CDOT’s efforts, especially [since] CDOT often gets tied up in mid-county” or doesn’t get through the city as often as we would like, Isbester commented. Isbester said snow removal begins immediately if it occurs during the regular workday. During the off-hours, the city dispatcher calls out the team when enough snow has accumulated. When snow is forecasted, Black Hawk typically pre-treats primary roads, using mag chloride and Ice Slicer – depending on temperatures and moisture content of the snow. Residential streets receive attention once the primary routes are cleared. The city uses Apex and Ice Slicer. A bagged salt mixture is used to melt ice off sidewalks.

Gilpin health care facility eyed for 2022 Continued from PAGE 4

in Jefferson, Clear Creek or Boulder counties. Currently, Clinica serves 58,000 patients and has 640 employees while operating six community-based medical practices and three dental clinics in Boulder, Broomfield and Adams counties, according to Smith. Clincia’s survey-study of needs in the mountain communities showed that its services would be used 1,027 adults and 305 children in the region. Aside from medical, dental and pharmaceutical services, Clinica also offers mental health services and tele-health appointments. Smith said that the Gilpin and Nederland clinics would offer combined services from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Sites would operate on alternating days but patients could schedule care for either facility. A doctor, physician’s assistant, nurse practitioner, registered nurse and clinic operations specialist would be part of the staffing. “This would be a very lean team,” commented Smith, who said the lease for the Gilpin space would be less than $2,000 per month. Currently, Gilpin County is one of the few rural counties

in Colorado without a doctor’s office or clinic to serve residents’ medical needs. The Mountain Family Clinic, which operated on Gregory Street in Black Hawk – near the Red Dolly Casino – closed in 2014. Since that time, any Gilpinite requiring services had to go to a healthcare provider in Boulder County, Golden, Lakewood or beyond. Getting to the doctor in another county can be a challenge, especially during winter weather when roads may be snow-covered or slick. A doctor’s office appointment could mean spending lots of driving time for the approximate 6,243 residents who are spread throughout a county measuring 150 square miles. One of the closest physicians to Gilpin County is Dr. Michael Camarata, who works in the Columbine Family Care practice in Nederland. According to Smith, Dr. Camarata serves about 3,000 patients and isn’t accepting any new ones. Should Dr. Camarata retire within the next two years, the result will mean an end to local care for people living in the mountain communities if Clinica is unable to open its proposed local locations.

GUEST EDITORIAL / COMMENTARY

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY SHORT-TERM RENTALS (STR’S) The Weekly Register-Call was invited to attend a meet ing of concerned homeowners on Sunday, October 24, 2021 at the Historic Alice School. Alice and St. Mary’s is located about 9 miles up Fall River Road, just west of Idaho Springs. Alice sits at about 10,000’ elevation. We were pleased to attend because of our interest in good, responsible, and non-intrusive government, and our concern that the proposed Regulation 21-59 is a bit of overreach on the part of the Clear Creek County Board of County Commissioners and the Clear Creek County Planning Commission. The meeting was well attended, with more than 40 persons at the school house, and another seven attending via Zoom. To a person, they each had serious concerns about the proposed regulation and how it would seriously and negatively impact their use of the properties they own in the area. Many of the homeowners suggested that Regulation 21-59 might be a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist. The homeowners also expressed concern that their own responsible management of their individual properties was not being considered by the BOCC. Unconfirmed statistics were cited, indicating that there are approximately 130 STR’s in Clear Creek County, with

about one-half of them being in the St. Mary’s/Alice area, which is located in unincorporated Clear Creek County. It was also noted that there have only been a small handful of complaints registered with the County about STR’s, further confirming that there is not a problem to be solved. The property owners in attendance felt that the proposal would disproportionately hurt them as compared to other parts of the county. They cited the fact that there are no restaurants, shops or other businesses in their area and thus the rental income is a vital source of revenue for the owners. Several of the homeowners explained that their properties in the mountains were their vacation, retirement or family weekend places. That is, second homes. They also explained that without the additional income from parttime rental of their properties, they wouldn’t be able to own these special places. Many of these homeowners have invested their retirement savings in these second homes and are dependent on the income they provide to supplement their retirement. Two sisters attending via Zoom explained their unique situation. They had been restauranteurs for many years in the downtown Denver area and had invested in several condominium units in the area. With the start of

“Old Glory” reveling in its magnificent beauty.

the riots in Denver about two years ago and then the pandemic, they had to close their restaurant and it subsequently went out of business. Their rental condos are their sole source of income now. With tourism and mining being the driving forces in the economy of Clear Creek County, it would seem incongruous to us that the BOCC would be looking to limit the available housing for those tourists that the Idaho Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Clear Creek Tourism Bureau and merchants, restaurants and recreation companies and others are attempting to attract to the area. The homeowners in attendance at today’s meeting made a very compelling case that this proposed regulation is not a “one size fits all” idea. Especially in the high country of Clear Creek County where neighbors take care of each other and “watch out for the other guy.” The proposal begins to look like an unconstitutional taking of private property. Proposed Regulation 21-59 will be up for consideration and a vote in the next couple of weeks by the Clear Creek County BOCC. We hope that the BOCC will consider the potential impact on this beautiful part of the County and the many property owners that will be adversely and severely injured by this proposal.

UNDER FURTHER REVIEW

Enjoy watching football in person? Brace yourself BY DENNY DRESSMAN

I stopped attending Broncos games more than a decade ago, and a couple of recent events reassure me it was the right thing to do. My decision had nothing to do with the play of the team but everything to do with the behavior of people who consider themselves fans. I got tired of listening to the profanity in the surrounding seats and having beer dumped on my back. More importantly, I got tired of subjecting my wife to both, as well as other rude and rowdy conduct. The two recent incidents to which I refer (neither in Denver, I emphasize) confirm that, in general, not much has changed regarding football crowds. And in one sense—a sign of the times, I’ll say—it’s gotten worse. First, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that socalled superfan X-Factor is no longer welcome at the team’s home games after a physical altercation with another such attention-seeker who calls himself RedXtreme. A paragraph from coverage of their “incident” explains what happened: “RedXtreme had blamed (X-Factor) for throwing water at him and his wife during the game, which then sparked the melee in

the stands. (X-Factor) told Fox4 KC he tried to “talk to him” but after one punch to the head, he ‘saw stars.’” A letter to XFactor from the Chiefs’ “Director of Fan Engagement” reads: “Your future presence in GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and/or any Chiefs-controlled parking lots or similar areas, as well as any Chiefs-sponsored events, is trespass, and the Chiefs will involve law enforcement and seek prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.” It’s hard to imagine the late Tim McKernan, a.k.a. Barrell Man, ever getting into any kind of scuffle with another Broncos fan, much less ever receiving a letter using terms such as “trespass” and “prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.” But sadly, there has been, and remains, enough testosterone in the seats of the Broncos stadium, whatever it’s called at the time, to fuel a variety of unpleasant interactions. That can be said of every NFL and most college stadia. One incident I recall from before I discontinued my Sunday afternoon trips to the site of Mile High Stadium was particularly distasteful, without a punch ever being throne. It was a Raiders game, though that

no longer distinguishes the aggression many patrons exhibit. A dad had brought his son see the rivalry. The boy, who looked to be no more than 10, wore his Raiders ball cap, which was a big mistake. A few loudmouths nearby thought it was sport to ride the little boy as though he were their age. I don’t remember who won the game. But I’m quite sure it wasn’t a fun day for the dad and his son, regardless. Not all football fans are like this, of course. But enough are to taint it for others unlucky enough to be in the vicinity. In the other recent incident, fans at the University of Tennessee pelted the Ole Miss bench with cans, bottles and at least one golf ball in the waning minute of a 31-26 loss to former Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin—in an apparent expression of their lingering antipathy toward Kiffin for ditching Tennessee in favor of Southern Cal back in 2009—TWELVE years ago. The final 54 seconds of play were delayed for 20 minutes. I can’t help but think that such an outrageous disregard for order and safety is the result of more than the usual fever pitch of a hotly

contested football game. When college students see so-called “peaceful demonstrators” riot in the streets of Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and other major American cities—looting and burning businesses and assaulting law enforcement, all with impunity— why wouldn’t they think it’s perfectly fine to shower the visiting team’s sideline with all manner of projectiles? When they see New York City police officers doused with water and other fluids, why wouldn’t they model such disrespect and think it’s funny and fun? The Southeastern Conference responded by hitting the University of Tennessee with a substantial fine, which is better than nothing. But punishment for those who actually hurled objects from the stands is next to unattainable. All of this leaves me wondering: Why is the unruly element in football crowds so much more prevalent than in other major sports? A major league baseball game, generally speaking, is a friendly, family affair. For me, the most annoying aspect is those who make it a social event and come to talk instead of watching the game. And when basketball fans express their ire, it’s almost always at the ref-

erees, who have an almost impossible job trying to keep up with a game often played at the speed of greyhounds. Otherwise, they’re pretty well-behaved. Even hockey, a fast-paced, physical game that allows—some would say, encourages— actual fighting in the course of play, draws an audience that is largely tame, despite its passions. Or at least in control of them. I’m guessing that with football, it’s a combination of the size and number of players in football, the inherent violence in every play, the large crowds that football attracts, the significant potential for crowd noise to affect any play, and the results of tailgating and in-stadium beer sales. Bottom line: If you enjoy watching football in person, brace yourself. ______________ Denny Dressman is a veteran of 43 years in the newspaper business, including 25 at the Rocky Mountain News, where he began as executive sports editor.

plants when the soil is moist. Use a dilute solution of a complete fertilizer such as a 20-20-20 labeled for use on orchids or flowering houseplants. Avoid excess fertilization that can cause damaged black root tips, green floppy growth, and prevent flowering. Once your orchid finishes flowering, continue growing it in a brightly lit location and water and fertilize as needed. You can either remove the faded flowers, leaving the flower stem intact and wait for a flush of smaller flowers at the tip of the stem or cut the flower stem back above either the second or third node, the thickened part of a plant stem where new

growth appears, from the bottom. A third option is to cut the flower stem back to one half inch above the leaves. This is better for the health of the plant. It results in the best reblooming and allows the plant to restore energy used for flowering and focus on growing roots. If forcing your orchid to produce a second flush of flowers seems like too much work, just treat it like a long blooming bouquet. Ease your guilt by gifting the plant to a fellow gardener that would be happy to accept the challenge. Then invest in a new and different orchid to brighten your indoor garden.

Growing and Reblooming Moth Orchids BY MELINDA MYERS

Brighten your indoor decor with beautiful blooming orchids. These living bouquets provide months of beauty with minimal care. Just provide the proper growing conditions and success is sure to follow. Start with a Phalaenopsis, moth orchid, that is best suited to the home environment making it the easiest to grow. Purchase a healthy plant with green leaves, a few open flowers, lots of buds on a firm green flower stem and no signs of neglect. Provide your orchid with proper care, similar to that of an African violet, for the best results. Water thoroughly with room temperature tap water just as the planting mix is beginning to dry. This is usually once a week in most indoor gardens. Pour off any excess water that collects in the saucer to prevent root rot.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Gilpin Eagles Endure 0-42 Loss to West Grand Mustangs BY GARY KING The football game between the Gilpin High School Eagles and the West Grand High School Mustangs was played on the Eagle’s home field on Saturday, October 23 beginning at 1:00 p.m. With perfect football weather fans were treated to an afternoon of high school football in one of the most beautiful football venues in Colorado. Despite their loss to the Mustangs, the Eagles demonstrated a discernable improvement in their performance on the field. The game began with the Mustangs receiving the kickoff and the Eagle’s defense holding the Mustangs to 4 plays with a turnover on downs. The Eagle’s mounted a 7-play drive from their own 15-yard line to their 46-yard line ending with a pass interception by the Mustangs. The Mustangs replied with a 10 play 37-yard drive for a touchdown followed by a 2-point conversion making the score 0-8 Mustangs. After the Mustang kickoff the Eagles held the ball only 4 plays yielding a turnover on downs on the Eagles 33-yard line. The Mustangs mounted a 33-yard touchdown run on the second play of their possession followed by a 2-point conversion putting the Mustangs ahead by 16 points. The quarter ended with another Eagle’s turnover on downs and the Mustangs with a 1st and 10 on the Eagle’s 1-yard line. The 2nd quarter opened with another Mustangs touchdown run followed by a 2-point conversion. With the score

now at 0-24 Mustangs and the Eagles facing another turnover on downs after only 4 plays, the Eagles faked a punt and attempted a run but were stopped short of the 1st down. The Eagles only had two 4-play possessions during the remainder of the quarter each of which resulted in turnovers on downs. The Mustangs on the other hand scored 3 additional touchdowns with 1 successful conversion and 2 failed bringing the score to 0-42 Mustangs. Once the Mustangs reached a 40 point lead the game clock was kept running for the remainder of the game. The second half of the game opened with the Eagles receiving the kickoff and a turnover on downs after 4 plays. The Eagles defense rallied in the 2nd half holding the Mustangs scoreless in the 3rd and 4th quarters. In the 3rd quarter the Mustangs had only 2 4-play possessions each ending in turnovers on downs. The Eagles had one more 4-play series ending in a turnover on downs but ended the quarter with a 3-down drive that extended into the 4th quarter. To begin the 4th quarter the Eagles extended their 3-down possession from the 3rd quarter for another 7 downs ending with an attempted 4thdown run short of a 1st and 10. Although there was no further scoring during the final quarter the Eagles held the ball for 14 plays to the Mustangs 7 plays. The final score came in at Eagles 0 to the Mustangs 42.

Gilpin Eagles Coach Ball had the following comments about the game and the team: “The Gilpin football team is getting stronger each week and has been adding plays and formations. The West Grand team knows us very well. We have played West Grand every year that I’ve been the head coach of the program. Coach Brown is a legend in Colorado high school football. He currently has the most wins of any coach in Colorado. When West Grand comes to town you need to raise your level of play and I think our boys played one of their best games of the season. The defense came alive on Saturday, and you could see a marked improvement in pursuit angles and nose for the ball. We had ten tackles for loss during the game and our ends and linebackers were flowing to the ball with real speed and were aggressive at the point of attack. Brandon Robinson had a break-out game and at one point stopped a drive in the second half with 4 sacks in a row. It was one of the best performances that I’ve seen from a nose guard. We had a bit of trouble with coverage. West Grand’s star quarterback was throwing with accuracy on Saturday, and we had issues staying close enough in coverage. We will work to improve our pass coverage this week in preparation for Soroco. We play the Rams on Friday night for a 7 pm game at the Gilpin Stadium in our season finale.”
