WHY DID THE REALTORS CROSS THE ROAD? “To better serve our clientele,” said owner and
broker of ReMax Red, Rebecca Guthrie. Guthrie and broker Amber Lemon are literally moving across the

Grand County Election results
The 2014 general election concluded
late Tuesday night with 59.77% of Grand
County casting their vote. Of the 11,584
registered voters in Grand County, 6,924
voters returned their ballots and supported
Republican candidates across the ticket.
In the most heated political race for
Grand County sheriff between Brett
Schroetlin and write-in candidate John
Stein, Schroetlin returned 4,679 or 78.55%
of the votes while Stein received 1,278 or
21.45% of the vote.
Also under close watch was the
question of whether or not to retain Judge
Ben McClelland as a Grand County Court
Judge. Judge McClelland was not retained.
Of the 6,063 votes cast in the decision,
53.14% were in favor of not retaining
Judge McClelland. The judicial review
commission had originally recommended
that Judge McClelland not be retained. The
group known as “Grand County Deserves
Better” began an aggressive campaign to
vote against McClelland.
Other elected county officials
running unopposed were: Grand County
Commissioner (District 3) Kristen
Manguso, Grand County Clerk and
Recorder Sara Rosene, Grand County
Treasurer Christina Whitmer, Grand
County Assessor Tom Weydert,
The Town of Hot Sulphur Springs was

LET IT SNOW - Granby Ranch began to make snow earlier this week. Granby Ranch
will officially open its ski runs on December 11.
Dear Friend,
Have you been considering purchasing a Classic outdoor wood furnace? If so,
you should know the Classic outdoor wood furnace will only be available to
purchase for a limited time.
It is expected that by April or May of 2015, the EPA’s New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) ruling will go into effect, and emission limits
will be introduced that would prohibit the retail sale of the Classic model
furnace as well as all other conventional up-draft outdoor furnaces in the
United States.
Classic furnaces purchased prior to April or May of 2015 would not be
affected by this ruling.
For 30 years, the Classic furnace has been helping people save thousands
of dollars every year on heating costs. With innovative determination,
Central Boiler has adapted to the upcoming change and developed a highefficiency, low-emission E-Classic down-draft furnace to replace the Classic.
(Unfortunately, Pallet Burners will be discontinued and have nodirect
replacement models.)
Because time is running out, sales of Classic furnaces are rapidly escalating.
Central Boiler has recently increased production to fulfill the rising demand,
but now is the time to purchase a Classic furnace at a reduced price.
Give us a call or stop by and see how to get your Classic before they are no
longer available. You don’t want to miss this opportunity!

Government organizations work to manage beetle kill fallout
by Christy Parrott
Residents of Grand County can’t help
but notice the substantial beetle kill fallout
affecting our surroundings. According
to Reid Armstrong, Public Affairs
representative for the US Forestry Service,
80-90% of the pine beetle’s food source
has been consumed. This is good news,
as the experts conclude the rate of beetle
kill has devolved from an epidemic to an
endemic. However, while the epidemic
may be over, the effects on locals is not.
According to Stephanie Odell, local BLM
field manager, “The trees have been dead
for 7 years, so any inclimate weather could
cause a tree to fall” around people or
across roads. David Boyd, Public Affairs
representative for the BLM concurs, “The
trees are starting to fall regularly now.”
So what’s being done? According to
the BLM, an ongoing project to actively
address bark beetle mitigation includes a
project area approximately 9,150 acres of
forested lands in Grand County. Under
the proposal, all dead, disease-infested
and other hazard trees within 125 feet of
BLM roads, trails and other infrastructure
would be removed. Additionally,
Armstrong explains that along with
salvaging any wood that retains value, the
Forestry Service is also removing trees
that impact public safety, including places
where National Forest meets towns and
neighborhoods. Armstrong details that
“More than 170 miles of road have been
treated or are under contract to be treated.”
While this effort will greatly assist
public safety, there’s another concern: the
health of our environment. Kent Hester of
Hester’s Log and Lumber says, “Timber
harvest is the only way to keep the forest
healthy.” Hester understands that if trees
grow too close together, “It’s like so many
kids in a bathtub; there’s only so much
water to go around, and the trees grow
back smaller and weaker. Then the bugs
come in and attack the forrest.” Hester
explains that healthy trees are a natural
water pump. Now, millions of acres have
lost those water pumps, so the creeks and
rivers are full, but crucial moisture is lost
from the soil. “By letting the dead trees
rot on the ground, grasses and weeds
proliferate.” (So large, healthy trees are
less likely to regrow.)
This also substantially increases the
threat of a wildfire. In order to alleviate
this problem, the Forestry Service has
developed partnerships with, for example,
Denver Water, whose program From
Forests to Faucets will match the U.S.
Forest Service’s $16.5 million investment,
totaling $33 million, toward forest
treatment and watershed protection. But
the bulk of the funds that once had been
issued to solve the beetle kill problem
have been exhausted. Armstrong explains,
“We’re not getting more funding at this
point.”
What can Grand County residents do?
Christy Parrott/Grand Gazette
Beetle kill trees near Green Mountain Reservoir.
First, be careful! Because the beetle kill
has been continuously occurring, this fall
and winter present a particular hazard to
locals and tourists. Boyd cautions anyone
venturing out to carry a hand- or chain
saw. “It might seem fine on the drive
in, but if it’s windy, there may be a tree
blocking the road on the way out.” Also,
be aware during hunting season that the
BLM and Forestry Service are working to
clear roads and camping areas of debris, so
knowing project site locations is crucial for
everyone’s safety. Finally, “Write senators
and congressman,” Hester insists. “We
don’t want to screw up the environment.
That’s our life in those mountains.”
With the sky falling around Grand
Country residents as winter approaches,
so too will the tress, creating hazards
and damaging the environment. Perhaps
with elections pending, it’s a good time
to remind those with influence that
Grand County residents care about their
surroundings and appreciate those who
are doing everything they can. For current,
local information, contact the BLM at 970724-3000 or www.blm.gov.

WG High School to present “Alice in
Zombieland”
West Grand High School will soon begin working on the 2015 school play.
This year’s play will be “Alice In Zombieland”. This is a new play by Craig
Sodaro. Casting will begin in November when they will determine who will
play “Alice”, “The White Rabbit”, “The Cheshire Cat”, “The Queen”, The Mad
Hatter” and many of our other favorite characters from the classic story “Alice In
Wonderland”. In a strange twist, this play presents Alice as a teenager revisiting
Wonderland only to discover it has been taken over by the “Wicked Witch Of
The West” (yes, the one from the Wizard of Oz) who is turning everyone into
zombies, including Dorothy with her little dog, Toto.
In the past local businesses and individuals have sponsored the West Grand
school play in order to provide the required costumes and staging. The students
and director really appreciate this generous support from the community.
This year, there will be a greater costume expense due to the nature of the play
and all of the animals and unique characters involved. If you or your business
would like to sponsor the play or a specific costume, please contact a West Grand
drama student, the director Dan Bowerly (970-724-3425 WGHS) or stop by West
Grand High School for a sponsor form. In exchange for support of the school play,
sponsors will be mentioned in the printed programs, in the actual play script or on
promotional materials and posters. The play will be presented on February 19 &
21 in the West Grand High School auditorium.

team had the opportunity to travel to
Louisville, Kentucky. They competed
at the National FFA Convention,
representing the state of Colorado as state
champions. The team, also accompanied
by Kremmling FFA member Kaylie
Murphy, began their trip with a day in
Lincoln State Park in Indiana, studying
local ecosystems and trees. The next
day, the competition was kicked off by a
team presentation in which the team had
90 minutes to prepare a written solution
to a current agricultural issue, and put
together an oral presentation with a visual
aid. This year’s topic concerned a new
virus strain that is currently threatening
potato crops. Afterwards, team members
were separated to write a press release
based on a speech given by Kentucky’s
commissioner of Fish and Wildlife
Resources. On Thursday, each team
member competed in four practicums
including water analysis, soil profiling,
waste management, and GPS. Once

these were finished, team members were
required to identify 50 species according
to given item such as a picture, pelt, scat,
footprint, eggs, or body part. Finally,
each team member filled out a written
test on general environmental knowledge.
Scores were added together from each of
these tasks to determine a final score. The
West Grand FFA team placed 19th in the
nation. Almgren, Murphy, and Wilkinson
placed as silver individuals, and Auger
placed as a gold individual.
While in Louisville, the team also
had the opportunity to attend several
FFA sessions. Nick Vujicic, the keynote
speaker in one of the sessions, presented a
very inspiring message about overcoming
tough challenges and helping others do
the same. The team also attended several
workshops with varying topics including
world hunger, jobs with animals in the
military, and overcoming adversity. They
also toured Churchill Downs and Waverly
Hills Sanitorium Haunted House. On the
way home they even were able to view St.
Louis from the Gateway Arch. Overall,
the competition was a success and the
whole trip was a great experience.

Mountain Valley Christian Academy pose with intructors Denise Pullium and Beth
Worden.
Local, Personalized Alternative to Public School
by Christy Parrott
With public schools, charter schools
and home schooling available, parents have
several options when it comes to educating
their children. “We opened Mountain
Valley Christian Academy because of a
desire from the public to offer an option to
the public school system,” Director Denise
Pulliam explains.
A bible-based, christian-centered K-12
school, Kremmling’s Mountain Valley
Christian
Academy bases their curriculum
on four basic principles: individuality,
self-government, Christian character
and consciousness. Pulliam explains the
children are taught they’re unique in their
own right, as created by God. They learn
to govern themselves, which includes
living honestly and ethically, and that
consciousness is the most sacred of all
properties. “It’s one of the great things
about our country,” Pulliam says. “I love
the fact that we have the freedom to teach
our children how we want them to be
taught.”
In addition to prayer, Mountain Valley
Christian Academy also focuses on
traditional courses, including electives, as
well as emphasizing culture. “We provide
a good history of our country and teach
what the founding fathers’ desire was
for America,” Pulliam says. Moreover,
Mountain Valley Christian Academy
offers students the individual attention
they may be lacking in a public school
setting. Under Pulliam and fellow teacher
Beth Worden’s tutelage, students learn
at their own pace. For example, math is
taught on a computer-based program, so
each student progresses as they’re able
(instead of relying on the median learning
rate of an entire classroom). “It’s my belief
that a child can’t get enough personalized
attention,” Pulliam insists. At Mountain
Valley Christian Academy, if a student
needs more time, they get it; if they want
to move ahead, they can.
Enrollment is based on an application
and interview process, which includes
a statement of devotion and at least one
parent actively participating in a Christian
church. “We want the right student at the
right time for the right reason,” Pulliam
says.

Mountain Valley Christian Academy at

Newspaper Article # 5: Current Issues
Topic # 5: Special Education Law
by Peggy Cramer
In 1975 Congress passed Public
Law 94-142, the Education of all
Handicapped Children Act. After many
reauthorizations, it is now called the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act (IDEA). Although it is
not a perfect law, it covers services other
than just specific learning disabilities, if
the disability adversely affects educational
performance. This is important because
your child may face a challenge other than
a learning disability. Services are provided
to many students with disabilities under the
following 13 federal categories (states may
slightly change the number of categories
and the category names):
1. Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD)
2. Intellectual Disabilities (sometimes
listed as mental retardation)
3. Emotional Disturbance (sometimes
includes behavioral disorders)
4. Speech or Language Impairments
5. Other Health Impairments (students
with SLD are sometimes served under this
category)
6. Multiple Disabilities (more than
one; sometimes categorized as a severe
disability)
7. Autism (added in 1990)
8. Orthopedic Impairments
9. Hearing Impairments
10. Developmental Delay (children
3-9 years of age; served without a specific
disability category to allow time for
assessment)
11. Deaf-blindness
12. Visual Impairments
13. Traumatic Brain Injury (added
in 1990; acquired injury due to external
physical force, not due to disease or
congenital malformation)
Public schools provide the strongest
supports for students with disabilities
due to the number of personnel hired to
provide related services. Hopefully, more
private schools will eventually provide
some of these additional services. Court
cases have also emerged, as added in the
last article, to address unclear principles
of the law. It will be up to you to keep up
with new court cases, especially ones for
your state, that impact your child. At many
universities, you can access information
about the new cases in the library.
The IDEA has six principles to be
honored:
1. Least Restrictive Environment
(LRE) - sometimes a small group in a
resource room
2. Appropriate Public Education
(FAPE) - free, individualized education
program (IEP)
3. Parent and Student Participation
- collaboration; student involved when
appropriate
4. Procedural Due Process - consent;
proper notification
5. Nondiscriminatory Identification
and
Evaluation
individualized,
multifactor evaluation; in native language
6. Zero Reject - all students; social
benefits may only be needed to qualify for
services
Today it is appropriate to use peoplefirst language. For example, say “a
person with a disability” (the person
first). It is also important to understand
that the law (IDEA) was designed to
address individual needs, not status in a
group. This was explained in the special
education law textbook by Hulett (2009)
when he interviewed a renowned advocate
for the law. When interviewed, Joe Ballard
said that the law was never meant to create
legal issues, just provide needed services
to students. New laws have impacted the
provision of individual services to these
students due to the emphasis on status
in a group (how a student performs in
comparison to another student). Ballard
mentioned that changes need to be made
to, for example, No Child Left Behind, not
to the IDEA.
Rhea Gallagher of the Gore Range Art Gallery completed leaf prints with Cliffview
residents in October and the frames were built from lilac branches from bushes
trimmed at the Gallery. Nine residents enjoyed the activity and their artwork will be
displayed in the dining area.

Obituary
Kenneth Lee Bruton
1925-2014
Kenneth Lee. Bruton, 89, of Sun
Valley Ranch in Grand Lake, passed away
on Oct. 14, 2014 at St. Anthony Hospital
in Lakewood following a brief illness. He
was born on Aug. 15, 1925 in Chickasha,
Okla. to parents Joseph and Edith Bruton.
When Ken was two, the family moved to
Kellerville, Tex. where he spent his school
years. He graduated from McLean High
School in 1943 and proudly served his
country in the U.S. Naval Air Corp while
attending the University of North Carolina.
Following World War II, he attended the
University of Oklahoma, and majored in
engineering. Ken settled into married life
in Amarillo Tex. with his first wife, Betty
Lou Roth, from 1946 to 1956, and to that
union three sons were born: Lee, Jerry,
and Joe. Ken moved to Denver in the late
1950s where he operated his own boating
business, Fore and Aft Marine. He was
married to Carolyn Read Scott from 1957
to 1978, and added one daughter, Susan,
to his family by adoption. In 1964, Ken
purchased Sun Valley Guest Ranch, which
he operated until 1982, touching the lives
of many guests and crewmembers. He then
converted the guest ranch to Sun Valley
Ranch Estates, while building custom log
homes. Ken married Shawn Simonds in
1997, and to that union one son, Thomas,
was born. He continued log home building
until the age of 80, and remained active
in the day-to-day operation of the ranch
until his passing. Throughout his life
he relished the wild-west cowboy life, a
love of ranching, and a love for the great
outdoors. He was an avid storyteller, and
fervently enjoyed entertaining friends—
old and new—at the ranch. His passion in
later life was coaching and imparting lifelearned lessons and strong ethical values
to his son, Thomas. Ken was blessed to
live in Grand Lake for 50 years, which
allowed him the opportunity to enjoy
numerous outdoor activities, including
raising, training and showing Appaloosa
horses, trail riding and horse packing,
hunting, snowmobiling, and skiing.
Ken was preceded in death by his
parents, and his brother Joseph Douglass.
He is survived by his wife, Shawn, and
their son, Thomas Jordan, his adult
children Kenneth Lee Jr. (Carolyn) of
Golden, Jerry Don of Los Gatos, Calif.,
Joseph Henry of Pueblo, and Susan Leigh
(Brian) Wiseman of Grand Junction, his
sister, Meta Haanstad of Tucson, Ariz.,
as well as 11 grandchildren, four great
grandchildren, and numerous nieces and
nephews.
A memorial celebration of Ken’s life
will take place on Nov. 8, 2014 at Trinity
Church in the Pines in Grand Lake,
starting at 11:00 a.m. with a reception to
follow in the church. In lieu of flowers
the family would appreciate memorial
contributions payable to the Ken Bruton
Medical Contributions fund at U.S. Bank,
PO Box 439, Granby, Colo. 80446, 970887-3361. Grand County Mortuary and
Crematory in charge of arrangements.

Pet insurance, is it right for you?
By Kate Ahrens
Grand County Pet Pals
Yes, there is such a thing as pet
insurance. There are at least two schools
of thought on the subject. One is it’s a good
idea to have it for your pet. The other is
to save the money you would pay for the
premium and then if nothing happens you
are ahead of the game. The question that
often goes with that is, are you disciplined
enough to set the money aside each month
and will you have enough in the event your
pet has a large bill. If you can’t afford to
do either and you haven’t gotten a pet yet,
you may want to wait until you can do one
or the other.
A way to avoid large vet bills is the
same as it is for you. Don’t wait until
something minor becomes something
major with a bill to match.
When you take your pet to the vet
for his or her annual exam this is an
opportunity for your vet to compare the
prior year’s medical notes. For example,
did you or your vet find a tumor that he
or she wants to keep an eye on since last
year’s visit? There was a tooth that was
cracked, how it that doing? When you first
get a pet, get to know it literally from head
to toe. This way you will know what is
new when something arises. Also, if there
is any area that is sensitive to touch, you
can get it checked out to make sure there
isn’t any underlying issue.
Per www.vetinfo.com, a well taken
care of cat can live to 14 years old. (There
certainly have been ones that live beyond
that).Taking into consideration expenses
such as, the cost of food, cat litter and
veterinary care to name a few, a pet
guardian will spend between $5,000$18,000 over its lifetime.
The money spent on a small to medium
size dog with the average life span of 7-13
years, is $5,000-$9,000. A large dog is less,
with the average life time cost is $7,000$9,000. That is because the average life
span of a large dog is between 6-8 years.
We all know of large and small dogs living
beyond the average life span.
The above figures are without factoring
in a major medical expense. Sadly there
is a thing called economic euthanasia.
Simply put, this is when an animal has
suffered an event where their person for
whatever reason, cannot afford the bill and
the animal has to be euthanized. A tragic
scenario for all involved, with the animal
obviously paying the highest cost. This is
why taking care of the minor things is so
important. This is also why you may want
to check out the different pet insurance
companies available online.
You will want to compare policies.
Some have different levels of co-insurance.
Some have a deductible to satisfy each
visit. Others have a yearly deductible.
Things to watch out for are, if your animal
is diagnosed with an illness this year,
will it be considered pre-existing and not
be covered next year? There are policies
that don’t cover breed disposed conditions
such as hip dysplasia and patellar luxation
(floating kneecap). Some companies will
give you a reduced rate on the first month
if you adopt a pet. Some will also waive
the illness and/or accident waiting period.
Yes, you do have to do some work to find
a policy that will work for you, your pet
and your budget. Years ago I saw an ad
for a pet insurance company that featured
an adorable puppy and the caption read
something like, “She’ll never know you
couldn’t afford the bill.” Ouch.
In a previous article, I mentioned an
insurance company called PetFirst (one
word) Pet Insurance. They will insure
senior pets without an upper age restriction.
The coverage is a smaller amount than for
a younger dog. However, to give you an
example, my 15yr old mini Dachshund
Jack was just diagnosed with bladder Woody was excited to see his owner
and kidney stones (not necessarily an old Terese Cunico. Send your pet photo to
dog disease). Between vets visits, X-rays [email protected]
and an ultra-sound the bill was close to
$700.00. I have a $50.00 deductible per gave him fish oil. An immediate red flag
incident, 100% coverage for reasonable went up. She looked it up in a book and
and customary charges and a $500.00 confirmed her concerns. A side effect of
maximum per incident with a policy limit fish oil in animals is when given in too
of $1000.00 for accident/illness coverage large of quantities (guilty as charged)
per year. Last week I received a check for as it interferes with the blood’s ability to
$500.00. My monthly premium is $16.95. form clots! When figuring out the proper
dosage, make sure to notice if the dosage
I am very pleased.
If you give your animals supplements is in mg vs. the container in ml. You can
please make sure to tell your veterinarian. go on line and find a conversion tool.
Jack bit into an extra hard piece of kibble The simplest of things can cause a not so
and suffered an injury to his mouth. I simple situation. There is some lifesaving
couldn’t get it to stop bleeding. While information regarding the fish oil at www.
discussing the supplements I give him petmd.com. If you don’t have a computer,
with our vet Sue Tasillo, I mentioned I please visit your local library.

Wolford Report
by Jeff Miller, Lake Skipper
Got Elk? Not! Got Fish? Yes! A group of hunters are waiting in line for the Kokanee
salmon giveaway this past Monday at Wolford. The Colorado State Parks and Wildlife
are continuing to give salmon away after they have been harvested for eggs. Shore
fishing is still good for Kokanee salmon at the dam and Day-Use Parking lot. Small
pink jigs with slip bobbers seem to be doing the best. Remember NO SNAGGING AT
WOLFORD. Rainbows are being caught just outside of the Kokanee spawning areas.
Water level is 15 feet down and water temperature is 48 degrees. Wolford discharge
flow is currently 25 cfs. Have fun and good luck.
