Rockin’ around the Christmas stage

Kindergartners, second-graders and fourth-graders were the stars of the show last Thursday, Dec. 6 in the elementary Christmas program, directed by Marcia Dalton. Festive songs and a fun skit got parents and friends in the Christmas mood. Four of the reindeer in the fourth grade’s “The Reindeer Whisperer” (pictured above) hear from the elves that Santa plans to send them to California to retire. What they didn’t know was that Santa was planning to send them on a relaxing vacation instead. A hilarious musical skit followed to tell the story of the reindeer, Santa and the reindeer whisperer. Below, Lucy Iniguez poses at the end of a song during the kindergarten portion of the concert. Look inside this week’s Enterprise for more photos! —Enterprise photos

By Chris Lee In his report during the Tuesday, Dec. 4 Holyoke City Council meeting, city attorney Al Wall said the city will most likely have three options when it comes to marijuana, follow-ing the passage of Amendment 64 in November. A couple meetings ago, coun-cil members casually brought the subject of marijuana up after Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 during the general election. “There’s been a lot of contro-versy about it,” Wall said. Wall said it looks like local entities will have three choic-es. The first would be to enact an ordinance to prohibit culti-vation, marijuana facilities or any sales in the community. Wall said that wouldn’t work against someone pos-sessing marijuana. The police couldn’t arrest someone, he said. However, the operations under Amendment 64 could be stopped by an ordinance. The second option would be to refer it to a referendum and put the issue on the ballot on an even numbered year. The final option would be to sit back and let the state figure out what the next step would be as to regulations. Wall wanted to let the coun-cil know, and if they were interested in preparing an ordinance, he would work with them. Councilman Kevin Scott wanted to know if the city would have to do anything if the county decided to enact something similar. Wall said the county would only include the unincorporated areas, so the city would still need to do something. “You guys can think about it,” Wall told council mem-bers. Councilman Steve Moore said he thinks it should be put up for a vote. “The citizens of Colorado voted for it. Let the town vote for or against it,” Moore said. JC Peckham reiterated they would have to wait until 2014 for a vote. Wall said the tax issue could string the process out. Wall did say temporary permits may come as soon as January, however. “I don’t know what they’re going to do. Your guess is as good as mine,” Wall said. Scott Murray questioned if the schools would still receive some of the money as outlined within the amendment, if the city was to enact something. Wall said it is kind of up in the air about how the tax rev-enues will work. “We should probably wait and see what the state does,” Murray suggested. Mayor Tonsing laid out a scenario where an ordinance

Marijuana may land on city agenda soon

could be made and enforced until the next general election. Wall said he hadn’t thought about that, but it could be a possibility. Tonsing said in his opinion, they need to stop it until they can understand what is hap-pening. No action was taken during last Tuesday’s meeting. Wall just wanted to get the council members thinking about what they want to see happen.

Annual appropriations ordinance approved

Council members approved the final reading of an ordi-nance outlining appropria-tions set forth to defray ex-penses and liabilities of the City for 2013. Total appropriations in the budget are $6,401,571 with the majority in the general fund, $2,894,252, and utility fund, $3,116,581. Other appropriations were as follows:Sale of Heginbotham Land Fund .................$ 150Equipment Replacement Fund .............................76,500Library Land Fund ............ 649Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund..................... 5,400Fire Pension Fund .........19,675Massman Memorial Fund .......................................... 100Contingency Fund .................0Cem White/Leeper Memorial Fund ...........11,056Conservation Trust Fund ......................................70,000LeBlanc Estate Fund ...... 7,208Capital Reserve Fund ............0Spindler Library Fund ... 5,000

Wages will not be adjusted for Deselms

Jeff Deselms, who is filling in for City Supt. Mark Brown while he is away, said he doesn’t want to see his wages adjusted. Tonsing said he feels De-selms deserves some sort of adjustment for undertaking the city superintendent posi-tion for an extended period of time. Peckham said he appreciates what Deselms is doing for the city but doesn’t feel this is a situation where it is needed. “I view it as the next man up,” Peckham noted. He said he has been contacted by people within the community as well as some of the city employees who don’t like the idea. Deselms said he was shocked to see the issue on the agenda and noted he didn’t ask for an adjustment. He also said he knows the feelings of the other employees. Peckham used many ex-amples explaining Deselms is simply filling the shoes for Brown. Council members said Police Chief Doug Bergstrom

filled in for former Chief Phil Biersdorfer on a couple differ-ent occasions and wasn’t com-pensated any differently. Only when Biersdorfer was let go did the compensation change. After a lengthy back-and-forth discussion, Murray made a motion to adjust the wages for Deselms. Moore said he felt they needed to discuss how much and exactly what they wanted to do before making a motion. After a little more discus-sion, Deselms spoke up and told the council it would make his life easier if nothing was done. He said he appreciated the thought, but it would be easier if he kept filling in for Brown and no adjustment was made. For a lack of a second, Mur-ray’s motion died with no ac-tion being taken.

Reports of city officials Council members heard a report from Deselms. Deselms said Brown vis-ited the office and said doctors were planning to let him go back to work toward the end of December. Brown underwent a surgery, and Deselms is cover-ing while he is away. Deselms said the city was gearing up to begin work on ex-tending the sewer service for the new hotel being built south

By Chris Lee East Phillips County Hospi-tal District board met Tuesday, Dec. 4. The meeting was moved from Tuesday, Nov. 27, as the Thanksgiving holiday kept most of the board away. During last week’s meet-ing, board members approved the 2013 budget. They also approved the 2013 mill levy resolution for certification. There was no mill levy change request this year. The final budget reflects a net income of $324,127 for 2013. The hospital expects total rev-enues of $10.64 million. Total expenses are budgeted at $11 million. MMH administrator John Ayoub noted looking at the net revenue and total expenses, one would be confused how the hospital could have a positive

Hospital board approves budget

bottom line. The difference is no-operational revenue, which includes tax dollars, grant money and donations which make up the difference. Ayoub said the hospital has had a positive bottom line the last eight or nine years and they are not expecting or look-ing to raise taxes this year or any time in the future. Before calling the meeting to order last Tuesday, board members were introduced to newly hired doctor Patricia Coyman. Ayoub said everyone is excited to have Coyman on board. “She’s done a great job jumping right in and becom-ing a part of the community,” Ayoub said. Coyman said she and her husband have pur-chased a home and plan to stay

School audit shows higher than expected beginning fund balanceBy Brenda Johnson Brandt It was good news to Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education Tuesday, Dec. 4 when auditor Scott Szabo of Lauer, Szabo & Associates reported the 2012-13 year began with a be-ginning fund balance that was $160,000 higher than expected. The 2011-12 budget projected a $319,826 deficit to reduce the reserve fund balance to $1.448 million. However, the projec-tion was cut in half when the reserve was only reduced by $159,685, leaving the fund bal-ance at $1.608 million. Using these figures for a final budget report, Supt. Bret Miles walked the board through a comparison of the 2012-13 preliminary budget which was prepared in May and what he proposes as the December bud-get to be adopted at the Dec. 18 board meeting. Miles explained that in most years if the student count was relatively flat, no adjustment would be made. This year’s pu-pil count was up 1.6 from what was used for the preliminary budget. However, with the tight fi-nancial situation in the state, Miles said he is proposing some changes. As part of the final budget, Miles recommended using some money for a one-time sal-ary payment. Several options for this payment were reviewed, with board members voicing sup-port for the expenditure. Lengthy discussion followed

on the procedure for distrib-uting the one-time payment. Emphasis was addressed for the payment to go only to staff members who are actually on the district payroll. Miles was directed to add roughly $90,000 of an additional one-time payment to employees in the same fashion that the 2011 bonus was distributed. Szabo reported the district had an unqualified audit, which is the highest rating and meant there were no problems to present. The board was reminded by Szabo to monitor the handling of the activity fund to be sure deposits are made regularly and that clubs are not over-spending. Board members will accept the audit at the Dec. 18 meet-ing.

Mill levy certified The school district’s 2012 mill levy was certified at 38.796 mills at last week’s meeting. That includes 27 mills in the general fund, 7.5 mills in the voter-approved override, .046 mills in abatement and 4.25 mills in the bond redemption fund. Miles noted the only change from 2011 is with the abate-ment, which is not in the con-trol of the district.

Anti-bullyingassembly praised

Board member Michelle Van Overbeke complimented the el-ementary staff for a successful

anti-bullying assembly on Nov. 29. She said it’s a good example of what the district has been doing to prevent bullying and to teach students how they can have a positive impact. Principal Kyle Stumpf said the elementary school will be using its Title I night for a focus on bullying, as well. Board members Dennis Herman and Jon King added that they heard from a nation-ally-recognized speaker and researcher at an anti-bullying workshop at the recent Colo-rado Association of School Boards convention.

Other business In other business at the Dec. 4 meeting, the Re-1J board: —included HHS juniors Meg Strauss and Brenda Her-nandez in discussion about the recent CASB convention. The girls, along with Brittney Prottsman, attended the stu-dent strand of the convention. Board member Linda Jelden suggested that a student lead-ership committee discussion be added to the board retreat agenda. —approved second reading of changes to student use of the internet and electronic communication policies. —scheduled a board retreat for Thursday, Jan. 10 from 5-10 p.m. in the board room. Potential topics include stu-dent leadership committee, bus routes and pickup times, digital learning and paperless meetings.

HHS senior Caitlyn Kramer was interviewed by Gregg Moss on the Channel 9 morn-ing news Monday, Nov. 19 in Denver. Kramer and four others were selected out of approximately 5,000 students throughout Colorado to share why they are “stock stars” and what they have learned about the stock market during an investment simulation. The selection process in-cluded students answering sev-eral questions about what they have learned about the stock market. This opportunity was provided by the Colorado Council for Economic Educa-tion’s Stock Market Experi-ence investment simulation. Following the television interview, Moss took students

through the television sta-tion, showing how, behind the scenes, the news is recorded. He introduced students to weather forecaster Amelia Earhart, who had students help her create the sequence to reporting the weather. She also took students to the “back patio” while she taped the weather forecast. It was amazing for the stu-dents to see how so few people are responsible for running and reporting the news! Kramer learned about invest-ing through Kristina Ham’s introduction to business class at Holyoke High School. The entire class continues to par-ticipate in the Stock Market Experience online investment simulation.

The class is split up into teams, and each team re-ceives 100,000 virtual dollars. Through this simulation, students are able to purchase and sell their own stocks. The experience allows students to learn how Wall Street works and gain valuable math and investment skills. Erica Fukuhara is the key contact for Stock Market Ex-perience and was responsible for setting up the student in-terviews at 9News. Kramer, Ham and Teresa Kramer (Caitlyn’s mother) traveled to Denver Sunday afternoon, Nov. 18 for the Mon-day morning interview. Interviewing at 9News was an educational and fun experi-ence for Kramer.

Extravaganza a success

With over $1,100 raised for Heginbotham Library, the annual Holiday Extravaganza was a huge success. Library staff, board and Friends of the Library mem-bers partnered for the event, selling homemade gifts and goodies. Librarian Laura Roth said they are work-ing with Friends of the Library on a few projects which the money can go toward, and it’s great to know there will be funds for the summer reading programs. Pictured above are Laura Bittner and Conda McDermed as they browse the gift selection in the beautifully decorated library. Several items were also sold at a silent auction, like the cute cupcake created to accompany a children’s book, pictured at right.

in Holyoke—something board members were excited to hear. Also present at last week’s meeting was consultant Mary Meek who has been in Holyoke for the past two months work-ing with the medical records department and staff. She is from Washington state and is in Holyoke to help with the processes, conduct training with the staff and implement policies and procedures. “Mary has done an excellent job,” MMH CFO Greg Was said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.”

Administrator reports activity

Ayoub reported Dr. Coyman was scheduled to begin seeing patients Monday, Dec. 10. All of her insurance was finalized and she is gearing up, accord-ing to Ayoub. The administrator also noted FNP Dixie Ishee has begun seeing patients and is doing a wonderful job. She had an extended orientation while they were waiting on some licensing and insurance to get finalized.

With regard to the special-ity clinic, Ayoub said Dr. Theo Alkousakis has been doing great. Alkousakis is serving as a dermatologist and his first clinic was packed. Dr. Sidney Adler, OBGYN will be adding a second half day to his clinic each month, according to Ayoub. In terms of surgical services, Ayoub said they recently had a patient who wanted to stay in Holyoke for a procedure and Dr. Adler and Dr. James Schie-fen collaborated and worked together in the operating room to perform a surgery. “I think it’s really exciting to have that cross pollinization of our service lines and through our speciality clinic,” Ayoub said. The administrator said he has participated in some collaboration meetings with Haxtun CEO Don Burris, Re-gent Park administrator Julie Kotch and Colorado Health Connections.

Skunked Due to their fondness for asphalt, deer cause more hu-man deaths an-nually than any other creature, and over the course of a 40-year career on the road, I was proud to say that I never filled my deer tag by hitting one on the highway. I may have ac-cidentally flattened my share of snakes and squirrels (who hasn’t?), but I’d never run over anything bigger than a rabbit. I’ve driven the wild country from the badlands to the Big Bend country, from the Ever-glades to the Okanogan with-out ever hitting an armadillo, reindeer, cat, yak, Hereford, PETA member, wild hog or domestic dog. Although I must admit I was tempted by the cat and the PETA member. I’m proud to say I’d never dented my bumper on any-thing. Notice I used the past tense. In the last six months I’ve done $8,000 of damage to my car by hitting a pudgy and pungent polecat, and a deer with Boone and Crockett numbers. Both accidents were at night and both happened not far from my house, proving once again that most accidents really do happen within 25 miles of home. Even if I could have recov-ered the bodies for a proper burial, they would have had to have been closed casket funerals because their bodies were so dis-figured. May they rest in pieces.

It’s the Pitts—By Lee Pitts

The deer and skunk paid the ultimate price for their jaywalking and my one-man killing-machine escapades are not something I feel good about. In the case of the poor deer, which I got a real good look at because his face hit my windshield 18 inches from my own, he truly did have that “deer in the headlights look.” His face still haunts my dreams, and I have flashbacks when I drive by the accident scene. I may need therapy. My Buick Lucerne, which I love dearly, almost had to be to-taled and was only saved at the last minute because some key parts were able to be located in a distant junkyard. As it was, I needed an all new front end, all because of one $8,000 deer. As bad as the deer episode was, the skunk collision was worse. Both the skunk and I froze just milliseconds before impact, and I remember think-ing, “Nice kitty, please don’t do it.” But the stinky cat did! I had to pull off to the side of the road because my car was making strange noises after the impact. With my dress clothes on, I tried not to breathe as I got on my back and looked under the car. Mother nature did not cooperate by turning on her night light, but I could barely make out parts of the dead polecat hanging from the fan blade, putting to rest the theory that a skunk can’t spray while hanging from its tail. The only solace was I re-membered that my favorite au-thor, J. Frank Dobie, wrote that

a hydrophobic skunk couldn’t spray. At least I wasn’t going to get rabies! I think you can imagine my discomfort as I worked in the aromatically-challenged envi-ronment to fasten the plastic underbelly of my car back together again. It was some of the fastest mechanic work ever done, and if you think NASCAR pit crews are fast, you should have seen this Pitts stop! After driving 20 mph to an all night convenience store, where there was more light, I was asked to vacate the prem-ises by the owner. My wife did the same thing when I finally limped into home. I have a “Theory of Threes” in that I believe bad events always happen in clusters of three. This means that I am due to hit a cow or a horse next. The way I see it, I only have two options: I can either walk everywhere I go or I can sell my wildlife-killing, road-kill-creating car. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of the fact that this column appears in papers across the country and offer up this free classified ad: “Unlucky Car For Sale: It may not have that new car smell, but I guarantee it will still turn heads. Frequent re-cent maintenance with many all new body parts. Bumper sticker reads, “I don’t brake for wildlife.” Car is cheap and at-tractive. (Suicidal wildlife find it really attractive.) A really good deal for someone with a poor sense of smell.”

Holyoke City Council is on the fence about whether to par-ticipate in a retirement funds loan plan. At the previous Nov. 20 council meeting, City Clerk Kathy Olofson brought up the possibility of giving City em-ployees the option to take out loans against their retirement funds. Nearly 7.5 inches of snow fell in Holyoke between Dec. 6 and 10.

Ten Years AgoDec. 12, 2002

Alan Helm was recently hired as the newest CSU Ex-tension agent for the Golden Plains Area. He began his new position at the Phillips County office on Dec. 2. An opportunity for World War II veterans to receive their high school diplomas will be afforded local vets with the school district’s adoption of Operation Recognition. Superintendent Bill Brown told the Re-1J board at its Dec. 3 meeting that he will be rec-ommending approval of the

program at the Dec. 17 school board meeting. Camp Machasay hosted an open house Saturday, Dec. 7 to give area residents an op-portunity to meet the Youth Challenge staff and tour the facility.

The survey and excavat-ing of archaeological sites at Schlachter Farms in May was one of five projects to earn a Stephen H. Hart award at the 180th annual meeting of the Colorado Historical Society held Nov. 23 at the Colorado History Museum in Denver. Starting Jan. 8, mammog-raphy services will be offered by Melissa Memorial Hospital in Holyoke on an every-other-Friday basis.

Forty Years AgoDec. 14, 1972

With sub-zero temperatures during the past week and the area completely covered with a heavy blanket of snow, Phillips County has taken on the look of Siberia. Mrs. John Baldwin, trustee

on the Holyoke library board, recently attended the Colorado Library Association meeting at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, where she was elected to serve as chairman of the state library trustees for the coming year. Phillips County received its first payment of $26,324 in revenue sharing as prescribed under the State and Local Fis-cal Assistance Act of 1972. The Act provides funds to units of local government to be used only for “priority expendi-tures.”

Fifty Years AgoDec. 13, 1962

It now appears possible that U.S. Highway 6 from Holyoke to the Colorado-Nebraska state line 13 miles east of here may be rebuilt in 1963-64. The first fund drive for a new hospital in Haxtun will be conducted by the board of directors before Jan. 1, 1963. Mrs. Jean Kauanui, an ex-perienced scuba diver, will present an assembly program at Holyoke High School Dec. 19. The public is invited to attend.

Safe and delicious holiday foods—

temperature matters! Ice cold eggnog, tender and juicy turkey, perfect pecan pie—there are many special foods we associate with the holidays. According to CSU Extension educators, main-taining recommended tem-peratures during food storage and preparation can often make the difference between delicious or disastrous results. Don’t overlook monitoring food temperatures in the holi-day rush. Do you have the right ther-mometer for the job? From the refrigerator to the oven or stovetop, using a thermometer can assure food reaches the recommended temperature for “doneness.” Sea-level time and tempera-ture guidelines can be used for roasted meats because oven temperatures are not affected by Colorado’s altitude, but in-ternal temperature is the gold standard for obtaining the best results. Monitoring tempera-tures assures safety and also helps prevent overcooking, which may result in a dry or tough end product. Likewise, keeping cold foods chilled properly limits the growth of bacteria and helps maintain their nutritional value. There are a variety of food and appliance thermometers available at hardware and kitchen stores. These essential kitchen tools come in several styles and vary in level of tech-nology and price. It is recom-mended that all kitchens have a thermometer in both the refrigerator (at or below 40 F) and the freezer (0 F), as well as one available for safely cook-ing and reheating foods. Holiday food temperature recommendations for consum-ers include: —Roasted turkey or chicken, 165 F. —Stuffing, 165 F. —Ham, fresh, 145 F. —Ham, pre-cooked, 140 F. —Beef, pork, veal and lamb, 160 F. —Leftovers, 165 F. For more info, visit USDA/FSIS at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/home/index.asp. And don’t forget to keep un-

invited microbial guests from crashing the party. Holiday events often require transport-ing and serving food in a vari-ety of situations. Remember to take temperature into account at holiday get-togethers and potlucks—don’t leave food safety to luck! Keep cold foods cold (below 40 F) and hot foods hot (above 140 F). Use insulated contain-ers and warming plates to help maintain the temperature of hot foods. Cold foods should be stored in the refrigerator or a cooler until serving begins. One convenient way to keep chilled dishes cold is to nest them in bowls of ice. What about leftovers? Tra-ditionally after potlucks and group meals, guests take a portion of the leftovers home. Foods that were kept at room temperature for less than two hours can be refrigerated and saved. Leftovers should be re-heated to 165 F and consumed within 2-3 days. Leftover foods that exceeded two hours in the temperature danger zone (between 40-140 F) should be discarded. It is always important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using and calibrating a thermometer. If instructions are not avail-

able, check the stem of the food thermometer for an in-dentation, or “dimple.” This indicates the location of the sensing device. When checking food tem-peratures, insert the probe the full length of the sensing area, usually 2-3 inches. Check the temperature of meats at the thickest part, away from bone or fat. The internal tem-perature of turkey should be checked in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. If measuring the temperature of a thin food, the probe should be inserted through the side of the food. Treat thermometers with care. Wash them by hand be-tween uses with hot soapy wa-ter to prevent cross contamina-tion, but do not immerse them in water. If placed too close to heat sources, the plastic faces of some models may melt or break. Monitoring holiday food temperatures can increase your chances of a healthy, safe holiday season!

The Seeds of History

Yo u m i g h t think I was talk-ing about your family history or ancestry.com. In a way, I am. Heir-loom seeds are just as diverse as our diverse historical roots. According to John Torgrim-son, executive director of Seed Savers Exchange, “Every seed has a story.” “New Zealand” spinach (Tet-ragonia expansa) growing in New Zealand was discovered by Captain James Cook. He fed the spinach to his crew to fight scurvy. The heirloom seeds tell stories as diverse as their genetics. Here is an amazing tale. Egg-plant originated in Sri Lanka and southern India. To this day it is considered the “king of vegetables.” China is the top producer in the world, followed by India. Thomas Jefferson was a fan of eggplant and was one of the earliest gardeners in the United States to introduce the vegetable at his Monticello gardens. Gardening and history are married. Miss a step of history and lose our connection to the past. When you plant an heir-loom garden, you might as well label it “living history.” In an heirloom garden, people have “manipulated” the journey these seeds have taken, by their

own changes in their lives. Sweet peppers came to this country with Guiseppe and Angella Nardello who left southern Italy in 1887 and ventured to the United States. The couple ended up living in Connecticut where they planted the pepper seeds from Italy. The seeds thrived. They named the pepper plants af-ter their fourth son, “Jimmy Nardello.” The famous bean seed named “Trail of Tears” was passed on from the Cherokee Indians in the mid-19th century. As the settler population grew in Georgia, the settlers were tak-ing Native American lands and pushing the Native Americans further into the frontier. The Cherokee Indians who once called Georgia and the land east of the Mississippi home, now named it the “Trail of Tears.” The Cherokee In-dians were forced into new a territory and many died from disease, hunger and exhaus-tion on the way to their new territory. The path to their new territory is aptly named “Trail of Tears.” One of the most popular tomato plant heirloom variet-ies is called “Brandywine.” This tomato did not originate in 1885 with the Amish in Chester County, Pa. Its history goes back further to Frome, England. The gardener, Wil-liam Iggulden, a fellow of the

Royal Horticulture Society, discovered the pink tomato. This tomato was a mutation of another tomato called Mikado. The seed got into the hands of Johnson and Stokes Seed Company of Philadelphia, Pa. Johnson and Stokes Seed sent seed samples to a local farm owned by Thomas H. Brinton. Brinton planted the seed on tri-als on his farm. He named Wil-liam Iggulden’s pink tomato “Brandywine” because of the Brandywine River that ran by his home.

Words on paper. They will always be the most powerful tools human beings use to communicate. They place no limits on how much we can say, and the furthest reaches of the imagination are the only limits on what we can show. They have the power to make complex ideas simple, and simple ideas powerful. We do more than read them, we hold them. And, from the advertising we see in publications to the letters we receive in the mail, the things we hold in our hands have the quickest routes to our hearts.

Jon King

Local school board recognized; Kingelected to CHSAA Legislative Council Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education was well represented at the Nov. 29-Dec. 2 annual convention of the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. At the Dec. 1 business meet-ing, Holyoke board member Jon King campaigned for and was elected to a three-year term on the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) Legislative Council. CHSAA’s Legislative Council, formerly Board of Control, is made up of 69 representatives from local leagues across the state, additional representa-tives from larger leagues, three representatives from the state’s superintendents and five mem-bers of CASB, representing specified areas in the state. King was elected to repre-sent CASB regions 1 and 4. In a solid commitment for involvement, the local board

and Superintendent Bret Miles presented a breakout session Friday during the CASB con-vention. The board’s breakout ses-sion was titled, “It’s Not Good,

It’s Just What We Do,” touting practical strategies and tools for boards from other board members. Presenters were board mem-bers Jeff Tharp, Kris Camblin, Linda Jelden, King and Dennis Herman, as well as Miles. Through the All State Board of Education application pro-cess, the local board was one of four in the state recognized as a Distinguished School Board at the recent convention. Miles noted, “I’m very proud to work for this dedicated group.” Board member Jelden praised Miles, saying he has “really helped all of us become better board members indi-vidually and as a team.” Holyoke also took three HHS juniors to participate in the student strand of the conven-tion. They were Meg Strauss, Brenda Hernandez and Britt-ney Prottsman. Strauss and Hernandez at-tended the Dec. 4 school board

meeting to share about their experience and talk about the role of student leadership in the district. At the local meeting, board president Jeff Tharp was pre-sented with a gift for attending what was his last CASB con-vention for his eight-year term on the board. It was also noted that three local students had art displayed at the CASB convention. They included Kyla Strecker, Kait-lyn Kent and Genesis Iniguez.

Joyce Barkey recognized The board was also pleased to share the good news that former Holyoke teacher Joyce Barkey was given the Demont Award at the CASB conven-tion. Barkey is currently serving as principal in the Otis School District. The Demont Award recognizes rural administra-tors who have made a differ-ence in students’ lives.

Business Briefs

Congressman Cory Gard-ner (R-CO) is pushing back on the Bureau of Land Man-agement’s proposed rules for hydraulic fracturing, saying they represent a clear viola-tion of state water laws. In a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Gardner urges him not to let the BLM du-plicate existing state regula-tions or encroach on state water authority. “BLM’s proposed rules could overstep their statu-tory authority over water, threatening all water right

Gardner to Int. Sec. Salazar: proposed BLM fracking rules

violate state water rightsowners and undercutting the current system of state allo-cation and administration of water rights,” Gardner wrote. “BLM’s proposal creates fed-eral approvals and mitigations for water source, water use and water disposal. The rules give BLM veto authority over water use related to oil and natural gas development on federal lands, which is entirely in-appropriate and an affront to Colorado system of prior appropriation.” Also of concern is that

BLM’s draft rules could actually discourage water recycling and reuse during the fracking process, which would be especially damag-ing to resources in the arid West. Gardner has always be-lieved the states, not the federal government, are best suited to manage their own natural resources. BLM plans to finalize its rules by the end of the year. Gardner’s bipartisan letter was signed by 43 members of the House.

The overall quality of the 2012 U.S. corn crop is high and improves upon last year’s very good marks across a range of test factors, according to the U.S. Grains Council’s Corn Harvest Quality Report 2012/13. Total U.S. corn production fell in 2012 due to the worst drought in decades, but de-spite the drought, this year’s crop showed a year-over-year improvement in average text weight, protein levels and den-sity, as well as lower moisture and BCFM than the 2011 crop. The full report is now available at www.grains.org. This is the second year for the council’s Harvest Report. The Harvest Report assesses the quality of the U.S. crop as it is delivered from farms to local elevators, the first step in entering international marketing channels. It will be followed in April 2013 by the second annual Corn Export

Despite drought, grain report indicates high quality corn crop

Cargo Quality Report, which assesses quality at the point of export. The council produces the reports so global importers will have access to reliable and comparable data from year to year, with samples being gath-ered and tested using transpar-ent and consistent methods. “With an increasingly com-petitive global market, the availability of accurate infor-mation is in the long-term best interest of U.S. farmers, export-ers and international buyers,” said Erick Erickson, USGC director of global strategies. “We received a tremen-dously positive response to the inaugural reports from inter-national buyers, so certainly there is a need for this type of information.” For the harvest quality re-port, samples of U.S. corn were gathered from 12 states that combined are the source for 99 percent of U.S. corn exports. Tests conducted on the samples cover grading factors like test weight, physical factors such as stress cracks and other items such as moisture, protein starch, oil and mycotoxins. “The samples tested dem-onstrate that this year’s U.S. corn crop, while smaller due to the drought, is of outstand-ing quality overall,” Erickson said. Data indicates the average test weight for the 2012/13 crop was 58.8 pounds per bushel, an increase over 2011 and more than two pounds per bushel above the grade limit for No. 1 U.S. corn. At the same time, broken corn and foreign material (BCFM) was lower, as were the number of damaged kernels. Moisture, at 15.3 percent, was also lower than last year. “Protein numbers were gen-erally higher, starch was mar-ginally lower and oil content was unchanged,” Erickson

said. The frequency of stress cracks, which indicate the relative susceptibility of ker-nels to break up during han-dling, are up marginally (from three percent last year to four percent this year), which could be an indicator that the crop will be more susceptible to breakage during handling, in-formation that may turn up in the Corn Export Cargo Quality Report in the spring. Erickson noted that the council’s Corn Harvest Qual-ity Report 2012-13 only assesses the quality of the current U.S. corn harvest as it enters mer-chandising channels, as qual-ity can be affected by further handling, blending, storage conditions and other down-stream factors. The full report is available at the U.S. Grains Council web-site, www.grains.org, and from the council’s international of-fices.

Think outside the box

Christmas is creeping closer and closer, and chances are you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet. Don’t worry! I’m sure you’re not alone. When it comes to food gifts, it’s time to start thinking outside the box, literally. There are tons of household items you can use to doll up and dish out your holiday treats on Christmas. This week I experimented with a Pringles can, some wrapping paper and a bright rib-bon. Adorable—if I do say so myself—and perfect for holding Christmas cookies! You can use the same concept with a cylinder tube, cling wrap and some twisty ties. Here are some other do-it-yourself ideas: —Line the inside of an old jewelry or shoe box with scrapbook paper, pair it with brightly colored tissue paper and fin-ish it off with some ribbon. —Paint an old bucket or flower pot, add a lining and fill it full with larger food items or acces-sories. —Cut a square hole on the side of a brown paper bag and attach cel-lophane to create a window for your cute treats to peek out. —Forget the wrapping paper and trans-form one of the gift items into the wrap job. For instance, fill a mug, mixing bowl or oven mitt with your other gifts, add a bow and you’re good to go! —Bundle baked goods in pretty dish tow-

els and tie with twine, thread or ribbon. —Fill the bottom of a vase with sugar and use it to stack tall

treats. —Re-gift a pretty tin or basket you

received last year. —Cut scrapbook paper to the size

of a paper CD envelope and slide it and a cookie inside so they can be seen through the window of the envelope. Attach a ribbon or other adornment. —Thread ribbon through holes punched around the outside of a disposable plate. —Wash out those old mason jars and spruce them up with fabric scraps, buttons and ribbon.

The American Cancer So-ciety will host a celebration for volunteers and donors on Thursday, Jan. 10. The recep-tion is in conjunction with the 100th birthday of the Ameri-can Cancer Society and serves as the kickoff for Society events in 2013. The event will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Island Grove Regional Park’s Exhibition Hall in Greeley. Two of Colorado’s foremost American Cancer Society’s funded researchers will be at the event to share their in-sider perspective on research breakthroughs. Dr. Carlton Barnett, the son of Pat and the late Carlton Barnett, was

ACS hosts 100-year celebrationborn and raised in Greeley and graduated from Windsor High School. He is currently the director of surgical oncology for Denver Health as well as a professor of surgery for the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Anschutz Cam-pus. His research has centered on blood transfusions and can-cer metastasis. Dr. Tim Byers is a professor in cancer prevention research and in 2014 will serve as presi-dent of the society’s national board, which is the highest vol-unteer position possible within the ACS organization. He will speak about the progress that has been made in cancer re-

search and future prospects. Both researchers have been awarded major grants through the society. The most recent grant awarded to a northeast-ern Colorado researcher was presented in 2012 to David Hydock, Ph.D. of the Univer-sity of Northern Colorado, in the amount of $421,000 for his work on physical exercise and how this can decrease the ad-verse effects of chemotherapy. For more information or to RSVP for the Jan. 10 event, contact the ACS office at 970-350-5014, email michelle.trabing@cancer.org or vis-it www.facebook.com/#!/events/162509720559731/.

Nicholas OrtnerNicholas earned his way to win the championship at 138 lbs. at the Banner County Wrestling Invite in Harrisburg, Neb. last

weekend.

Dragon wrestlers win Banner County InviteBy Brenda Johnson Brandt Eleven placewinners, led by three champions, boosted the HHS wrestling team to a first-place finish in the Banner County Invitational Wrestling Tournament in Harrisburg, Neb. Saturday, Dec. 8. Coach Jack Garrison said the back door finally started working for the team, as wres-tlers came back to win after a loss. The tourney followed some-what of a round-robin format, but each weight class was set up differently, depending on the number of participants. Jesus Hermosillo at 195 lbs. and Dylan Kotch at 220 re-peated as tourney champions from the previous week and are undefeated on the season. Nicholas Ortner joined the two on the champion stand, win-ning the 138-lb. class. Leo Ortiz made it to the championship, finishing sec-ond at 160 lbs. Third-place honors were earned by Issac Brandt at 120 lbs., Spencer Kotch at 170 and Astolfo Rojo at heavyweight. Four Dragons placed fourth in their weight divisions in-cluding Eric Rojo at 106 lbs., Ben Martinez at 152, T.J. Gert-ner at 170 and Sidney Struck-meyer at 220. Javy Rojo competed in the JV portion of the tourney and finished second at 152 lbs. Banner County was a fairly solid tournament, but coach Garrison said they’ll have some tougher ones coming up on the schedule and need to get ready for the competition. Holyoke scored 139 points to claim the team champion-ship Saturday. Other teams and their earned points were

Sedgwick County 128.5, Bayard 104.5, Sutherland 103, Mor-rill 77, Lingle Ft. Laramie 58, Garden County 41, Kimball 40, Hyannis 29, Wray 27.5, Hem-ingford 25, Crawford 23, Ban-ner County 13 and Minatare 9. This week, Holyoke hosts Yuma in dual action Thursday, Dec. 13, and JV wrestlers will compete in Wray Saturday, Dec. 15.

Cheer team takes 4th at state HHS cheerleaders made the finals and earned a fourth-place fin-ish in 2A State Spirit cheer competition Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Denver Coliseum. From the field of 22, only four squads, including Holyoke, were called back to the finals. Coach Jane Zink said the girls pulled together and did well at state. Telluride took first in the 2A cheer competition, followed by Cheyenne Wells, Dove Creek and Holyoke. HHS cheerleaders are pictured above during their performance, from left, Audi Peña, Brittney Prottsman, Megan Parker, Taylor Goldenstein, Peyton Dittmer, Lori McWilliams, Tia Huffman and Adi Bencomo. Prottsman, pictured at left, was named to the All-State team following the competition last Saturday.

JH defeated in overtime inA team east division tourney Playing from behind the en-tire championship game, the HJHS Dragons fought back to take Haxtun to an overtime in the east division A team tournament Saturday, Dec. 8 in Holyoke. Haxtun found a way to out-score the Dragons 6-4 in the overtime to claim the 32-30 championship and advance to the Dec. 11 east-west champi-onship game. Coach Jim Yakel said the championship game Saturday was tense and exciting, and he was proud of the boys for their effort. Holyoke won a 48-18 vic-

tory over St. Anthony’s in first-round action Saturday to advance to the match-up with Haxtun. In the championship, Hax-tun led 5-4 after one quarter and outscored Holyoke in the second and third periods to take a 23-17 advantage into the final period. Not ready to end their sea-son, the Dragons fought hard to outscore the Bullpups 9-3 in the fourth to take the game into overtime. With a 6-4 over-time period, Haxtun claimed the 32-30 win. Brendan Kage led the Drag-on scoring with 12 points,

scoring all four of the overtime points. Austin Herman added six, Alex Strauss five, Bren-dan Mayden four and Gunnar Kroeger three. In the opening game of the day with St. Anthony’s, Holyoke jumped to a 14-2 first-quarter lead and never looked back in the 48-18 win. Nine Dragons made the scor-ing column, led by Kroeger, Herman and Tristan Sullivan, with 10 points apiece. Strauss added six, Kage four and Dylon Lousberg, Hunter Razo, Tyler Camblin and Zach Churchwell each scored two.

Swim Team in League Relays Holyoke Swim Team mem-bers competed in the League Relays at the Greeley Rec Cen-ter Thursday, Dec. 6. Coach Luke Thomas said the meet was an unusual one, where every event was relay-based. The only “normal” events were the three standard relays which every meet in-cludes. “The girls had fun and swam really hard,” said Thomas. Top finishers included Dani Brandt, Lori McWilliams, Jayden Durbin and LaKyla Moore, who teamed up to take fourth in the 200 free relay and fifth in the 200 medley relay. The team is looking to po-tentially add a meet this week, but nothing was scheduled as of Tuesday morning. The next known competition for the HHS swimmers is Saturday. Dec. 22 when they swim in the Windsor Holiday Meet.

A coalition of 20 leading busi-ness organizations from across the state of Colorado recently sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice urging enforcement of federal law and the Controlled Substances Act in response to the passage of Amendment 64. “Passage of Amendment 64,” the letter states, “left consider-able uncertainty for employers and business in Colorado with regard to their legal rights and obligations. We encourage enforcement of the CSA, to pro-vide the certainty and clarity of law we seek.” In its letter, the coalition reminded Holder that, “in 2010, you took a firm and aggressive position opposing California’s Proposition 19, an initiative similar to Amendment 64.” The coalition further noted that he committed then to enforce the CSA “even if ... permitted under state law.” “Today,” the coalition em-phasized, “we ask that you and the DOJ remain consistent in your commitment to the CSA and federal law to provide the bright line we, as employers in Colorado, seek.” A cover letter was sent to President Barack Obama ref-erencing the letter to Holder. The coalition urged the presi-dent to encourage DOJ to enforce the CSA, noting that

Business organizations urge DOJ to enforce federal law

the President’s 2011 National Drug Control Strategy stated emphatically, “The Administra-tion steadfastly opposes drug legalization.” A third letter was delivered by the coalition to Governor John Hickenlooper and Colo-rado Attorney General John Suthers expressing their sup-port and gratitude for their re-spective efforts to seek clarity of the DOJ’s intentions regard-ing enforcement of federal law. “We are proud of Colorado’s recognition in ranking after ranking as one of the top states in which to live, to do business and to have an incomparable quality of life,” the business coalition conveyed to Hicken-looper and Suthers. “Today, uncertainty exists. “Thank you for your recent and continued efforts to secure a clear signal from U.S. Attor-ney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice.” The Northern Colorado Leg-

islative Alliance and Colorado Concern initiated the coalition letter to Holder. “We were disappointed with the passage of Amendment 64.” Sandra Hagen Solin of the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance commented, “What’s important now is that the Colorado business community and employers know, with cer-tainty, their rights, liabilities and obligations when it comes to their relationship with their employees under the provi-sions of Amendment 64. That can only come with enforce-ment of the CSA and federal law.” The coalition of 20 business organizations represents thou-sands of businesses in Colo-rado and includes chambers of commerce from all regions of the state, large economic devel-opment agencies, construction trade associations, general business organizations, bank-ers and the technology indus-try.

Chris Lee, pictured at right, accepts congratulations from Terry Andersen when Lee was announced as the 2012 Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award winner last week.

Lee recognizedfor EMS service Chris Lee was duly recog-nized and clearly surprised when he was presented the 2012 Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award at the Melissa Memo-rial Hospital holiday gathering Tuesday, Dec. 4. The award acknowledges dedicated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) employee Jerri Moore, who was murdered in March of 2004. Each year, a member of the ambulance service is recognized for their outstanding service. In presenting the award at last week’s program at MMH, Terry Andersen praised Lee, a first responder, for his willing-ness to cover on-call shifts and to step in when needed. Past award recipients choose the winner each year, and their name is added to the large plaque that hangs in the wait-ing area by the nurse’s station at MMH. The plaque features a colored photo of Moore in action with EMS in a 2002 disaster drill. Each’s year’s winner is added on a separate gold plate on the plaque. Everyone has a nick-

name in the EMS program, and those nicknames are also included on the plaque. Jerri Moore Spirit of EMS Award “Jake” heads the award. It then reads, “Jerri Moore had a deep passion, dedication and caring attitude for all phases of EMS. Jerri’s award will be given yearly to the person who possesses the qualities that Jerri will forever be remem-bered for.” Individual plates on the plaque acknowledge the fol-lowing winners: 2004, Barry Winckler, “Ooga Boga;” 2005, Sharon Green-man, “Mario;” 2006, Christie Winckler, “Snooze” and Terry Andersen, “Chief;” 2007, Me-lissa Mayden, “Pipes;” 2008, Steve Young, “Frog;” 2009, Sheila Robinson, “Tex;” 2010, Bob Heldenbrand, “Radio;” 2011, Shawn Borland, “Bum;” and 2012, Chris Lee, “Clark Kent.” Andersen initiated the award idea, and was surprised in 2006 when fellow EMS personnel added his name as a second award winner that year.

Editor’s note. The Enterprise received an envelope full of in-formation from Harold Nelson of Denver and found his story interesting enough to be shared in his own words.

By Harold Nelson I am Harold Nelson from Denver and I have hunted in the Holyoke area every year, with the exception of one, for 66 years on opening day. That one year I made it the second week of hunting. I keep coming back because of the community, the hospital-ity and the great people. I have hunted on the Dale Martin and Glenn Bradford farms—now run by their sons Bob Martin and Walt Bradford. It has be-come multi-generational. This year the “girls” enjoyed the beautiful open house at The Oak Tree, and four genera-tions of “boys” hunted. Now for some of the happen-ings of the past 66 years. —There used to be 21 of us from the present Keebler Com-pany. Through the years it was formerly Merchants Biscuit Co., Supreme Bakers, Bowman Biscuit Co. It is owned by The Kellogg Co. Out of those 21, I am the only one living. —Those of us that didn’t stay overnight in the vehicle, stayed in the Burge Hotel. It wasn’t uncommon to look out the second floor windows and see a half dozen rooster pheas-ants. This was in the ‘40s and ‘50s. —Down at the ranches, we spent the day hunting and almost always got our limit, which at one time was 10 roost-ers/20 in possession. Today that seems like a lot of birds—

Nelson recalls 66 pheasant hunting trips

but there were thousands. We are now lucky if we get one each. The pheasants have very little cover such as sunflowers and high weeds. —After dark a couple of us would get into the back of Dale’s pickup and with a spot light and .22 rifles, we would get 200-300 jack rabbits from the alfalfa field. I was told a mink farmer paid five cents for them. There were literally thousands of jack rabbits—sad that is not true any more either.

Harold Nelson is pictured during opening pheasant hunt-ing weekend this year. The 97-year-old has made every open-ing day but one in the Holyoke area for 66 years. The one year he missed, he was in town the next weekend. He plans to return next year at age 98 if the Lord allows.

—At noon Pauline Martin would set out a table “a mile long” to feed all the hunters. What a meal! What great hos-pitality and friendship. Bless her heart. She did that out of the greatness of her heart. God bless her. On Sunday, Glenn would be sure we had enough Rocky Mountain Oysters to feed everyone. The barber in town was the Mountain Oyster cook! What a feast we had! —Sometimes after a day of hunting, a few of the men got a little inebriated. Bill Wag-ner attempted to ride one of Dale’s steers. As suspected, he had sort of a bad ride. When Bill got on, the steer lunged forward and Bill ended up face down in the manure. His mouth was open, hollering and showing off. We had a good laugh at his mouth full of you know what! —By the way, I don’t drink, nor have I ever taken a puff

of tobacco. I have never had a swallow of beer in my life. That’s probably the reason I’m 97 and still going strong. Kids, are you listening? I am 97 years old and don’t do a lot of walking any more. My joints are wearing out. I lived on a farm in Nebraska and farmed for 25 years. With horses walking behind a one furrow plow, walking cultiva-tors, and walking three miles to and from school each day, I figure I have walked the equiv-alent of five times across the U.S. That’s over 13,000 miles just in my “growin’ up years!” Regardless of the weather,

Family members gather with Harold Nelson, second from left in back row, earlier this year as they all wear their Git ‘em! Holyoke, CO shirts. The group gathered in November to celebrate Nelson’s hunting history in Holyoke. Nelson has hunted in the Holyoke area for the past 66 years. Pictured from left, front row, Isabel Blue, Jackson Blue and Jonathan Balding; second row, Jacob Harmon, Cody Harmon and Christopher Balding; and back row, James Blue, Nelson, Derryl Soden, Erin Blue, Carolee Soden, Matt Harmon and Nicole Harmon.

my dad very seldom took us to school in a buggy. Then the Army added many more thou-sand steps. I got drafted into the Army in 1941 at the age of 26. I was one of the first to be drafted in Nebraska in WWII. Where did they put me? In the infantry where all we did was walk. They knew I was a walking farmer! I spent four years in the 3rd Infantry Division, two years on the front lines in Africa, Sicily and Italy—never having a roof over my head. We lived in the ground in fox holes. After I got out, I swore I

would never climb another hill or mountain—but I guess I changed my mind! When I got home I hunted deer and elk for 47 years in the mountains. I shot a buck deer every year for 47 years. After my wife passed away, I quit hunting big game. I wouldn’t know what to do with the meat living alone. I don’t shoot anything I don’t eat (except those that are not edible). Is it any wonder my hips and knees hurt? But, I still go. If the Lord’s willing, my family and I will be back to Holyoke pheasant hunting opening day next year!
