Salazar: Put sex offenders’ names on the Internet

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer Attorney General Ken Salazar would like to change Colorado law so that a single state registry listing registered sex offenders in all areas of the state would be available to the public via Internet. Salazar believes that every Colorado citizen should have free access to this information through the Internet or the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Current law says anyone can access the list of sex offenders registered within their local law enforcement’s jurisdiction and of neighboring jurisdictions without question upon proof of residency. Citizens who do not reside in a local jurisdiction or a Advertise YOUR neighboring jurisdiction can only obtain another jurisdiction’s Business HERE! registered sex offender list by demonstrating a “need to know.” According to District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, anyone who has been convicted of a sex offense, whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony, must register with the local law enforcement agency upon moving to a new area. Even those convicted of indecent exposure, such as urinating on the side of the road, must register, said Hurlbert. If a sex offender does not register, Hurlbert said the punishment is a Class 1 misdemeanor if the sex offense was a misdemeanor, and a Class 6 felony if the offense was a felony. Sheriff Ed Holte said registration is enforced with the help of

CBI, which compare the list of prosecutions with the county’s list of registered sex offenders and notifies the county if someone is not registered who should be. Police Chief Jim Zoller said the same procedure applies to the city police department. Zoller said he supports the proposal from the perspective that it makes his job as a police officer easier. He said Salazar’s proposal would eliminate the police department’s task of having to decide who qualifies as someone with a “need to know.” He added that since the information is already available from several sources (local law enforcement agencies, CBI), having one source for public access makes sense. Zoller believes that all police records, with very few exceptions, are public information. Zoller added that he normally receives less than a dozen requests for the list of registered sex offenders in the City of Leadville each year. Holte said he supports Salazar, but did not wish to comment publicly on his proposal. Holte did say that he is making a form to be signed by those who request a copy of the county’s list, which says that they will not post the list or harass those on the list. Hurlbert also refused to comment, saying he has not read Salazar’s proposal. The lists of registered sex offenders in the City of Leadville and Lake County are available to interested citizens at City Hall and the county courthouse, respectively. As of July 15, each list named eight sex offenders, including one female. The offenders ranged in age from 18 to 56. Holte said he does not believe citizens are allowed to know the specific crimes committed by each sex offender unless the offender has numerous convictions and is deemed a sexual predator. Zoller confirmed Holte’s statement. Zoller said sex offenders must register with the local law enforcement agency within 10 days of moving to a new community and again every quarter after that. Griffin trial is set

by Marcia Martinek Herald Editor Trial will begin Dec. 8 in Leadville’s district court for Matt Griffin, former technology coordinator for the Lake County School District, who is charged with five felonies, including embezzlement and theft, in connection with his work for the school district. http://www.leadvilleherald.com/ (2 of 6) [7/25/2003 9:43:22 AM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat - Online! The Premiere News Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond!

Griffin appeared in district court in Leadville Monday with his attorney Todd Parson, entering a plea of not guilty to the charges. Parson’s motion for a change of venue in the case was turned down by District Court Judge David R. Lass. The attorney argued that because all jury members for the trial could potentially be taxpayers in the school district, they could also be considered victims of the alleged crimes. “It’s not a traditional case,” Parson argued. He said that changes of venue mostly stem from extensive pre-trial publicity; however, this was not the case with Griffin. Parson said the trial could be held in the judicial district, just in another county. Deputy D.A. Arly Miner objected. “Does no one here rent property?” she questioned. Lass, in denying the motion, said he was not convinced that the court could not find an impartial jury. Charges in the case stem from allegations that Griffin, while an employee of the school district between August 2000 and June 2002, ordered computer equipment in the capacity of his job and kept it, and that he claimed to attend computer classes, was reimbursed for them, but never actually attended them. Parson asked the court to order that more specific identifying information for the computer equipment cited in the case be provided. Lass ordered this be done within 14 days. Parson also moved that the court order the school district to provide additional information regarding management of reports, contracts, etc., within the school’s computer department. He said he had subpoenaed personnel records, assuming that they would contain information on vacation and times that Griffin was absent from the county, but this information was not provided. Lass suggested that this information be specifically subpoenaed. Miner suggested that this information also could be obtained by having the defendant sign a release. She contended that the defense was going overboard in seeking information that had no relevance to the case. “How contracts are set up, how the department was run – these have everything to do with the case,” Parson said. Lass ruled that the information sought could have relevance to the case, but he said that the district attorney should have a chance to pre-review it with the school district and make a formal request to withhold the information if there is a good reason.

Herald Staff Writer If former county employee Nadine Goodwin does not violate the conditions of her deferred sentence probation, her guilty plea for embezzlement will be withdrawn and the charges erased from her record after four years. Judge David Lass granted Goodwin a four year deferred sentence for the felony embezzlement charge and one year probation for the theft misdemeanor. The theft charge will not be removed from Goodwin’s record. Goodwin must also serve 24 hours of community service per year for four years, write an apology letter to the community, pay $632.58 to Lake County for restitution, and make two charitable donations of $100 each to The Center and Full Circle for a total of $2,425.08 in restitution, court costs, fees and contributions. Goodwin was formerly an accounting clerk for Lake County. She has no prior criminal history.

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer Karmen King opened the Natural Resource Manage-ment Institute (NRMI) open house, Thursday, July 10, with this quote from a Harry Potter book: “This is school, Mr. Potter. It has nothing to do with the real world.” On the contrary, King explained, school has everything to do with the real world for CMC students. CMC Timberline Campus students have opportunities to do interesting and important field work that not only gives them the opportunity to actively learn, but gives them experience in the fields they will enter after college, explained Dean Gary Smith. “These young people who are doing this will not just remember this tomorrow for a test, but years into the future,” he added. NRMI is a business associated with CMC that not only provides these opportunities for Natural Resource Management students, but pays them for their experiences. Smith said NRMI is “quite possibly one of the most innovative and unique projects in this entire country.” He added that “project- based learning is revitalizing learning around the country.” NRMI began in 1998 as the brainchild of CMC professor and aquatic toxicologist Karmen King. King started her own business 10 years ago. When she began teaching at CMC five years ago, she decided that students could do the same work she did with training. She started by bringing environmental projects to her classes. NRMI has since grown to be its own business, providing environmental services to state, federal and private entities. NRMI currently pays nine employees, including field technicians, field managers, project technicians and project managers. To be a part of NRMI, students must submit a resume, go through training and be interviewed. After they are hired, they go through more extensive training. The students also have the opportunity to be promoted. NRMI has worked on 102 projects to date all over the state and country, including a bird blood lead study, reclamation of the old eroded Fremont Pass, and a study on the Navajo population. This summer several people from NRMI will raft through the Grand Canyon for 16 days, sampling the area for the Norwalk virus for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Parks Service. This summer, NRMI is working with the Lake Fork Watershed Working Group to clean up two mine waste piles in the Dinero Complex below Sugarloaf Dam. The project is funded by a $77,000 federal grant, and money from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Colorado Division of Mining and

The Premiere News Source for Leadvilee, Colorado & Beyond! Geology, said Project Manager Don Stephens. He said that although the piles have existed since the 1870s, it was not until recently that people realized they were causing such significant contamination to the Lake Fork and the Arkansas River. For more information on the Dinero clean-up, see the page 1 story in the July 17, 2003 Herald Democrat. Several other NRMI projects will continue through the summer. Elizabeth Fortushniak and Mike Thompson are two NRMI employees working in the Cache Creek area near Granite. The goal of their study is to establish a wetland habitat with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on the 160 acres of wetlands around Clear Creek and Cache Creek. Fortushniak and Thompson determined that it is a suitable environment for wildlife and fisheries by sampling the water and observing the wildlife. They will also evaluate the mine tailings. Sherry Meiling is working on mapping the noxious weeds in the San Isabel National Forest for the Forest Service. Eventually, her map will be used to help determine the best way to mitigate the noxious weed problem. “I love this job,” said Meiling. “I get to drive around the National Forest and look at plants all day.” Craig Muelot and Dan Rauer are gathering “real-time data” to check the accuracy of hyperspectral remote sensing mechanisms that NASA is testing. The remote sensing equipment generates geographical maps of the area. Muelot and Rauer are checking the accuracy of the maps by comparing them to the actual geography on the ground. Thompson is also involved in unexploded ordnance sweeps at Camp Hale. The Army Corps of Engineers, Shaw Environmental, the U.S. Forest Service, CMC and Southern University in Louisiana are all involved in sweeping the 554 grids at Camp Hale with magnetometers for anything containing iron that is on the surface, including mortar rounds and rifle grenades. Caitlin Borbely and Ryan Gustafson were two of four NRMI staff to spend 20 days in Louisiana surveying fisherman about what they were catching, how much seafood they were consuming and how they prepared their seafood. The group is not allowed to know what the survey is for so that they do not bias the way they ask the questions, explained Gustafson. After working on projects like those described above, NRMI staff go on to work in a variety of related fields. For example, former NRMI employee Jenelle Stefanic now works for the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) as an operator at the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel and Treatment Plant. Several students have started their own businesses. Another is a stream ecologist with the Forest Service. Several have chosen to continue their http://www.leadvilleherald.com/topstories/topstories.html (3 of 6) [7/25/2003 9:43:31 AM] More Top Stories from The Herald Democrat - Online!

education at CSU or Mesa State College. LIST emphasizes energy solutions

by Marcia Martinek Herald Editor Wind power, fuel cells and the conversion of biomass to hydrogen were all the topics of the day when the Leadville Institute of Science and Industry (LIST) held a planning workshop last week. LIST is involved in a number of projects currently, all with the goal of providing jobs in the area and making use of Leadville’s altitude and cold climate as a demonstration site for solutions to mining, industrial, energy and environmental challenges. LIST is partnering with such entities as the Governor’s Office of Energy Management and Conser-vation (OEMC), Governor’s Office of Innovation and Technology (OIT) Colorado School of Mines (CSM) Colorado State University (CSU) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the United States Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Representa-tives from many of these groups were present last week to describe thier projects. Megan Castle, OEMC, described the installation of the anemometer last month east of Leadville. (See story in the June 19 issue of the Herald.) If, following a year of data gathering, wind is determined to be a feasible way to generate energy here, LIST has been asked to offset the energy costs of the Yak water treatment plant here, operated by ASARCO and Newmont Gold Co. Fuel cells are currently the topic of intense study throughout the scientific community. They are electrochemical energy- conversion devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into water, producing heat and electricity. Andrew Herring, assistant research professor in the department of chemical engineering at CSM, updated the group on some of the research being done, and how it might apply to Leadville. “Fuel cell is over-hyped,” Herring said. “We haven’t done the research to make it run forever and cost nothing.” In Leadville the idea is to produce hydrogen here which would be used in a fuel cell. Altitude testing would also be an issue, because most fuel cells currently will operate at more than 5,000 feet in altitude. Robert Evans of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, http://www.leadvilleherald.com/topstories/topstories.html (4 of 6) [7/25/2003 9:43:31 AM] More Top Stories from The Herald Democrat - Online! The Premiere News Source for Leadvilee, Colorado & Beyond! discussed the production of hydrogen from biomass, specifically using the organic material from Forest Service tree-thinning efforts. NREL hopes to produce, store and safely use hydrogen made from renewable resources, eventually being able to produce large quantities at low cost to compete with oil, natural gas and coal as a source of energy. Materials such as forest and agricultural residue, energy crops, and animal and municipal wastes (all of which constitute biomass) are expected to be able to supply 15 percent of the world’s energy by 2050, Evans said. Jim Zornes, natural resources program manager for the U. S. Forest Service, described the tree-thinning efforts now under way, an obvious source of biomass. The Box Creek area includes 3,100 acres of lodgepole pine, Zornes said, and it is the next test project. “We’re making more now than it costs us (for thinning),” Zornes said, adding that there is 2.5 times more material per acre than first estimated. Currently, the logging done in the Forest Service areas is for traditional products such as posts and poles. Zornes is enthusiastic about the Forest Stewardship Project being proposed in Lake County where local citizens are studying the possible economic benefits resulting from the forest treatment. Mike Holmes, project manager for the EPA, said that wood ships are used in revegetation of mined areas that are being remediated. Gary Johnson, who is retired from CSM and who ran last week’s meeting, said that rock in mined areas is very sterile and composting is necessary in order to produce soil. Currently EPA is bringing in wood chips from the San Luis Valley for use in this area, because there is no local source. Another demonstration project for this area involves the installation of a micro-turbine in the Leadville Mine Drainage Tunnel. Dawn Wiedmeier, deputy area manager of the BOR, said data will be gathered on the efficiency of the micro-turbine at high altitudes. Holmes described the current project in the Leadville Mine Drainage tunnel where water will be pumped up from 150 to 400 feet and delivered to the water treatment plant. EPA and BOR are interested in looking at alternative sources of energy for these pumps. People who aren’t thinking of alternate sources of energy now, will be doing so soon. John Scahill of NREL said that the west is currently enjoying the lowest energy rates in the nation, but a sharp increase in rates will occur, making his work in converting biomass to energy even more crucial. http://www.leadvilleherald.com/topstories/topstories.html (5 of 6) [7/25/2003 9:43:31 AM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat - Online!

Foundation. When Team Ten Two (for Leadville’s 10,200 feet) Captain Jody Martinez asked me to join the team, I had no idea how I would survive riding 50+ miles of mountain passes three days in a row. The furthest I had ever ridden until Saturday was 36 miles. Thirty- six relatively flat miles. But Jody, my spin instructor, assured me that I was in good enough shape to do it, so I decided to try. The Courage Classic attracted 1,800 riders this year from 36 states and three other countries. The cyclists ranged in age from four to 84 years old and ranged in ability from slow, like me, to really fast and strong. One of the most interesting things about the weekend was seeing so many different kinds of people accomplishing the same goal each day and sharing the same stories each night. Here are some of my stories: Day 1: My 10 teammates and I took off from the start line behind Lake County High School at about 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Saturday’s course took us from the high school to Turquoise Lake, around the lake, up Mountain View Drive to Colo. 91 and over Fremont Pass into Copper Mountain with a stop for lunch at the Climax mine. Four hours and 40 minutes after starting, we were having a drink at Copper. My first day was hard, but I was feeling much more confident about my abilities by the time it was over. Putting skinny tires on my mountain bike had made the climbs much easier and the descents much faster. Fremont Pass, which everyone had hyped up to be really hard, was actually only hard for about 10 minutes on the last short, steep stretch before Climax. I ended the day with a big, delicious dinner, a long soak in the hot tub, and was asleep by 10 p.m., although I easily could have passed out around 6 p.m. Day 2: The second day included a 50 mile ride from Copper to Frisco to Breckenridge, over Swan Mountain to Keystone, over Dillon Dam back to Frisco, and back to Copper, with an optional killer ride to the top of Loveland Pass. It sounded long, but I knew most of the course would be relatively flat, and I was right. I felt really good by the time I got to Keystone and decided to attempt Loveland Pass. I made it about a half-mile short of Arapahoe Basin ski area, which I figure was about halfway up the pass. Not bad, considering I hadn’t been planning to attempt it at all. Seven of my teammates made it all the way to the top. When I returned to Keystone, a huge lunch of baked potatoes, salads, fruit, brownies, cookies, sandwiches and chips was waiting for me. The food on this tour was incredible. As one of my teammates said, this was not a bike tour for him, it was an eating tour. The aid stations, which were located every eight to 12 miles, were stocked with fruit, cookies, bagels, muffins, energy http://www.leadvilleherald.com/sportspage/sportspage.html (2 of 5) [7/25/2003 9:44:01 AM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat - Online!

bars, water, bathrooms, mechanics, free sunscreen and Advil, and lots of friendly volunteers with encouraging words. Speaking of bathrooms, I learned this weekend that the maximum occupancy of a Port-O-Pot is ten people. I would love to know how ten people could fit in one of those things. The great thing about Day 2 was that most of the team stayed together more or less throughout the day, despite differences in ability. For example, probably the fastest member of the team, Josh Colley, rode with me, probably the slowest member of the team, for the last 20 miles of the ride. Day 3: Monday was by far the most brutal day of riding. By this time my legs were tired, my butt was sore, and I couldn’t wait to get to the finish line. Unlike Day 2, the team did not stay together. We all wanted to get home, so instead of spending at least 10 minutes at each aid station and an hour at lunch, we took about five minutes at the aid stations or skipped them altogether. Josh, who had been nice enough to ride at my slow pace Sunday, made up for it Monday by riding from Copper to Leadville via Vail Pass, Battle Mountain and Tennessee Pass in two and a half hours, stopping once for half of an energy bar. I, on the other hand, finished in six hours for the day. But I was not the last to finish. Team Courage, a group of 11 people who are current or former patients of the Children’s Hospital, rode across the finish line shortly after I did. One girl did not have use of her lower body and had ridden all three days on a bike she pedaled with her arms. When I saw those 11 people cross the finish line, I forgot my tired, dehydrated, hungry body and remembered why I was doing this race at all. For the past 14 years, the Courage Classic has been a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Last year, riders raised $1.2 million in pledges. Money is still being collected for this year’s donations, but the 11 cyclists from Leadville’s Team Ten Two contributed over $2,200. I looked at the 1,800 other finishers around me. I had seen those same people jumping in the sag wagons a few hours earlier, making it clear that they were feeling the effects of having ridden hard in the sun three days in a row like I was. However, everyone was smiling now, thinking of their own personal accomplishments over the weekend. I am just hoping that three days of riding will make the half marathon I am planning to run in August, which does not go over any mountain passes, seem both short and easy. Leadville bikers raise more than

Modern alchemy

The ancient art of alchemy seems analogous to Leadville, both in its glory days, and today. Alchemists worked to find a way to transform base metals – lead, for instance – into gold. In Leadville, although both gold and silver played a role in the wealth of the community, the miners also took base metals such as lead and turned them into – if not gold – considerable riches. Leadville is still dabbling in the ancient art of alchemy, only in a more scientific way. The Forest Stewardship project is just one example. Here the proposal is to take large amounts of small underbrush and trees that will become available as the forests are thinned, and turn it into a cash crop, such as mulch and wood chips, that would have a variety of uses. In the process jobs would be created. Interestingly enough, that same product of forest thinning is being eyed by the Leadville Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) in conjunction with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as bio-mass that could be used to produce hydrogen which, in turn, could be a source of energy other than the fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas that are used today. As one person noted at last weeks LIST meeting, “One person’s debris is another person’s bio-mass.” LIST met last week with representatives of a variety of groups interested in finding new sources of energy and using Leadville as a high-altitude laboratory of sorts to test devices such as fuel cells and wind energy. It seemed appropriate that the meeting was

The Premiere News, Weather, Sports and Classifieds Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond! held in the mining museum. This is, after all, an edifice that commemorates many who made their fortune by realizing value from the available natural resources in this area. Much brain power was evident in that room, and even the non- scientists among us could see some of the exciting possibilities in the work that is being done. LIST’s work is ongoing, and another meeting will take place in about six months to update everyone on where these projects stand. Robin Littlepage has more information for those who are interested. If you’ve missed any of the earlier meetings on the Forest Stewardship Project, instituted by Jessica Clement, go to the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum auditorium on Thursday, July 30, at 6:30 p.m. for some information sharing. Although few people think of Leadville and Lake County as a scientific think tank, this shows signs of changing, especially when you add in the work being done by local professor Karmen King and Natural Resource Management Institute, discussed in this issue of the paper. Who knows what will be the next source of riches in Lake County? As we know, gold doesn’t always glitter. Marcia Martinek Herald Editor
