Hudson, citing that the Wheat Ridge case was not binding case law, stated that, in that case, “the law was thrown out and no one defended it.” “The people who represented the people of Wheat Ridge didn’t step up to vigorously defend the right of the people to make a deci- sion about how their community unfolds,” he said. “That, to me, is very distasteful that the elected leaders would go against the opin- ions of the people that they repre- sent when it’s spoken at the polls.

According to an email from Chama District Forester Mary Stuever, the Lumberton Fire’s cause is still under investigation. The fire has burned about 434 acres, plus about five to six acres of slop-over and spots on May 18. One minor structure was burned and six would be threatened if the fire were to start up again, accord- ing to Stuever’s email. Two households were evacu- ated, but the evacuation order was lifted at noon on May 13, according to the email. On May 20 at 8 a.m., fire activity became “minimal” due to overcast skies and moisture on May 19, the email describes. By 9 p.m. on May 20, fire crews worked toward 100 percent “mop up.” As of May 23 at 6 p.m., fire crews were working on interior heat and continuing on 100 percent mop up, with the email noting that fire activity was minimal. “This will be the final notifica- tion hopefully no more significant changes occur,” the email states.

By Dan Burch and Dale Johnson Pagosa Springs High School The following Pagosa Springs High School (PSHS) students are recognized for contributions to theater and music over the school year. 2020 PSHS drama awards Jazz Square Award The Jazz Square is a term used to describe a classic dance step. This award is presented to honor excellence in dance. The art form of dance offers opportunities to express emotion, evoke feelings or tell a story through movement and expression.

Photo courtesy Charles Martinez This week’s Bird of the Week, compliments of the Weminuche Audubon Society and Audubon Rockies, is the wood duck. During breeding season, the male is one of the most spectacular ducks, with its metallic purple-green head boldly marked with white stripes, red eye and red bill with a yellow patch at the base. During late summer, when no longer trying to attract females, the male grows gray feathers, but still has the red eye and bill. The female is grayish brown with a white tear-drop eye ring. Both males and females have a uniquely shaped head and crest that they hold upright with a thinnish neck. This helps to distinguish them from other ducks at a distance. These rather shy ducks are mostly found in shallow ponds, swamps or lakes with trees or vegetation near the edge. They are one of the few species of ducks that have claws on their feet and can perch in trees. They nest in tree cavities made by rot or other birds. These cavities are usually between 2 and 60 feet above the ground. They prefer tall trees overhanging the water. The ducklings are born with feathers and leave the nest when they are only a day old. Their mother calls to them from the water and the ducklings make a breath-taking leap of faith out of the nest and into the water. One batch of ducklings was observed leaping from a 300-foot-high nest. (There are several videos of leaping ducklings on YouTube.) The ducklings stay with the mother in the water until they are ready to fly. They dabble for their food, mostly plants and some small invertebrates. With the loss of wetlands and competition from other species, suit- able tree cavities are becoming rarer. Fortunately, many people make nesting boxes for these birds. There are several good online sites with instructions for making and installing them. For information on future activities, visit www.weminucheaudubon. org and www.facebook.com/weminucheaudubon/.
