Two injured; fire ‘suspicious’

Photo by Marcia Martinek Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Jerry Means and his partner, Erin, investigate at 422 W. 10th St. on Tuesday morning. Erin’s job is to sniff for petroleum-based accelerants at the scene of a fire.

by Marcia Martinek Herald Editor Two Leadville boys are apparently in very serious condition at Children’s Hospital in Denver suffering from burns that appear to have been received in a fire early Monday morning. As of deadline time, no specific information on their conditions was available. The fire has been termed “suspicious” by Capt. Mark Langdon of the Leadville/Lake County Fire Department. Because the boys are juveniles, their names have not been released by authorities investigating the incident. Langdon said a call came in around 2:30 a.m. Monday that a person in the 500 block of E. 8th St. was having difficulty breathing. The fire department responded to the address along

The Premiere News Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond! with the ambulance, he said, which is standard procedure. Upon arrival, officials contacted two boys who were suffering from burns. When asked by Leadville Police Officer Tim Handel where the burns had occurred, one of the boys pointed in the direction of E. 10th St., Langdon said. Handel headed toward 10th where he encountered very thick smoke. He finally determined that it was coming from the house at 422 E. 10th. Initially, no flames were visible, but fire was discovered in the rear of the building where it apparently had started. Langdon said the fire had gotten into the roof trusses and the floor. Firemen knocked out the windows in the front of the home to better direct the air toward the fire. All the windows in the house were intact when the fire was discovered. Apparently no one in the neighborhood had noticed the fire until police and fire officials arrived. Rumors of an explosion at the residence are apparently unfounded, according to Langdon, who also disputed any rumors of pipe bombs detonating. A homeowner next door was awakened by the fire officials in case evacuation would be necessary; however, the fire was contained quickly and this was not necessary. No one was in the burning house when officials arrived. It is a rental house, and the owners live in Texas. They said no one had rented the house since last spring. On Tuesday, Agent Jerry Means from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation was on the scene with Erin, his partner. Means and Erin, a four-year-old black Labrador, investigate fires throughout the state of Colorado. Erin was born in a suburb of New York and was certified through the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. She has been with Means since arriving in Colorado about three years ago. Her specialty is sniffing out petroleum accelerants that might be used in arson fires. In July, Means and Erin investigated 21 fires in the state. Because the incident is under investigation, Langdon could not reveal many details. He did say officials have determined quite a bit from the fire scene and will be awaiting the results of tests conducted by the CBI before coming up with a final report.

Olsen targets junk cars

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer According to state statute, abandoning a vehicle is a class 3 misdemeanor in the state of Colorado. Commissioner Ken Olsen brought the statute to the public’s attention at the Aug. 18 Board of County Commissioners meeting to address a frequently heard complaint in the community about the number of junk cars around Leadville. Olsen’s point was that “the law is there. What we need is enforcement.” Olsen encouraged the public to ask local law enforcement agencies to enforce the abandoned cars law. The law says, “Any person who abandons a motor vehicle upon a Advertise street, highway, right-of-way, or any other public property, or upon any private property without the express consent of the YOUR owner or person in lawful charge of that private property commits abandonment of a motor vehicle.” Business A vehicle is considered abandoned if it has been left for more than seven days unattended and unmoved, if the license plates or HERE! other identifying marks have been removed, if the vehicle has been damaged or is deteriorated so extensively that it has value only for junk or salvage, or if the owner has been notified by a law enforcement agency to remove the motor vehicle and it has not been removed within three days of notification. The punishment for a class 3 misdemeanor is a $50 to $750 fine and up to six months imprisonment. http://www.leadvilleherald.com/topstories/topstories.html (1 of 4) [8/21/2003 1:31:46 PM] More Top Stories from The Herald Democrat - Online!

Commissioner Bill Hollenback believes the junk cars in Lake County have an impact on how visitors view the county. “You don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression,” he said. Sled dogs train without the snow

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer Allen Rasmussen does not ski. He does not snowboard. Last winter he and his wife sat around their trailer in Leadville with nothing to do. This winter Rasmussen will be training his two Huskies, Angel and Botley, to pull him on a sled. Rasmussen has always been good with animals and has wanted to train sled dogs since he came to Leadville two years ago. He bought Botley in February and Angel in May from two families who had Huskies because their kids watched the Disney movie Snowdogs and wanted Huskies. The dogs turned out to be more than they could handle, so Rasmussen bought them. He said the dogs cannot go more than 15 minutes without getting into something. Botley runs laps in Rasmussen’s trailer at 5:30 in the morning. When Rasmussen ran into someone at the post office in July who

After less than a month of training, he said they can go about one third of the way up the Mineral Belt Trail. Rasmussen hopes that they will be able to do the entire trail by next winter. In the meantime, he can be seen on his cart being pulled by the two dogs down Leadville side streets. Rasmussen said they love to run down Harrison Avenue. They also love to stop and bark at other dogs, chipmunks and birds. Rasmussen said they once caught a bird on the fly while they were pulling the cart. Worm attacks computers here

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer A worm infecting computers worldwide, including right here in Lake County, kills Internet connections and only allows computers to stay on the Internet for 60 seconds, which for most is not long enough to download the virus fix. MSBlast, Blaster, or LovSan, as the worm is being called, was upgraded to a category 4 threat last Wednesday, Aug. 13, according to John Mora at ColoradoInternet (717 Harrison Ave.) and www.symantec.com. Category 5 is the most threatening type of virus. Mora referred to the worm as “the devil.” “My neighbor had his machine go down. It’s kept me fairly busy,” Mora said of the worm. MSBlast only affects computers using the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. Linux, Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows NT systems are not affected. MSBlast is transferred through email and messenger services, said Mora. Programs that automatically download email to the computer, such as Outlook or Outlook Express, are especially dangerous because these programs download all emails, even if the user deletes them without opening them. Mora said no particular emails have been identified as carrying the worm at this time. He suggests taking several precautions to prevent your computer from acquiring MSBlast: – Only get email from the web. Do not use a program that downloads the email to the computer. – Use an antivirus. Mora suggested the free AVG Antivirus at www.grisoft.com. – Get a personal firewall. Mora recommends the free personal firewall at www.sygate.com. http://www.leadvilleherald.com/topstories/topstories.html (3 of 4) [8/21/2003 1:31:46 PM] More Top Stories from The Herald Democrat - Online! The Premiere News Source for Leadvilee, Colorado & Beyond!

– Be careful when opening attachments, as that is how many viruses get into computers. If a computer does become infected with MSBlast, it is very difficult to fix without the aid of another computer to download the patch, which can be found at www.symantec.com. MSBlast was discovered Aug. 11 and has infected more than 1,000 computers at over 10 different sites, according to www.symantec.com. Mora said a second strain of the virus, called MBlast B, is also affecting computers.

DeWitt leads the pack in the 100

Advertise YOUR Business HERE!

Photo by Jenn Wiant Paul DeWitt of Woodland Park and Valerie Caldwell of Sandia Park, N.M. were the male and female winners of the 2003 Leadville Trail 100 running race. DeWitt was first overall with a time of 17:58:45, and Caldwell was 14th overall with a time of 22:54:16.

by Jenn Wiant Herald Staff Writer The 21st annual Leadville Trail 100 Race Across the Sky http://www.leadvilleherald.com/sportspage/sportspage.html (1 of 8) [8/21/2003 1:32:56 PM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat - Online! The Premiere News Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond! produced two new champions Saturday night and Sunday morning. Paul DeWitt, last year’s second-place winner, won the race this year with a time of 17:58:45. At the awards ceremony Sunday, he thanked his family and friends for their support with a tear in his eye. “I couldn’t have done it without them,” he said. After her sixth Leadville 100, Valerie Caldwell said, “I was 100 percent committed to quitting coming down Hope Pass, but (her friend Scott Gordon) said just the right thing at just the right time.” It’s a good thing he did because Caldwell became the new women’s champion with a time of 22:54:16. She came in 14th place overall. Miles Frye-Krier, who came in first of the Leadville runners, completed all five Leadville Trail 100 events this year: the 100- mile run, the 100-mile bike race, the marathon, the 10K and the 50-mile Silver Rush bike race. Although he did not finish the 100- mile bike race in the 12-hour cutoff, he did finish in under 13 hours. Frye-Krier is “not much of a bike rider,” he said, and did not start biking until May of this year. “The bike races were challenging, but the hundred (the 100 mile run) was the most physically demanding,” said Frye-Krier. He finished this weekend’s race in 36th place at 24:46:40, taking third place in his age group of 50-59 year olds. Leadville’s Jake Jones was not far behind Frye-Krier, coming in at 24:51:20 for 37th place. Mario Varela, also of Leadville, completed his 11th Trail 100 run this year. Varela was 44th at 25:44:21. Forty-sixth-place finisher Eric Pence of Leadville finished in 25:47:27, earning his 1,000-mile buckle. Emily May was the first and only Leadville woman to cross the finish line Sunday. She took 86th place in a time of 27:36:47. Orlyn Skrien, also of Leadville, won second place in his age group of 60-69 year olds. He was in 92nd place overall with a time of 27:54:37. Leadville’s John Rainey and Alan Cohn also finished the race before the 30 hour cutoff. Rainey was 129th in 28:49:52 and Cohn was 196th in 29:41:05. A total of 206 runners finished the race.

After losing five seniors to graduation last year, including two All- Conference golfers, this year’s linksters are busy rebuilding this season. With one senior, Marc Vigil, one junior, Justin Vigil, one sophomore, James Quinn, and four freshmen, William Bender, David Dzubay, Ryan Mondragon and Robert Deister, on the squad, the team is young but capable. “This will be a year of valuable experience for the freshmen, and at the same time Justin and James have the potential to do really well for us,” said second-year head Coach Brent Welch. “Hopefully, it’s going to be a good season,” Justin Vigil added. LCHS hosted the first tournament of the year Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Mt. Massive Golf Course. Quinn finished with an 88 to place fourth in the tournament. “I could have played better,” Quinn said. “There were tough pin placements.” The big surprise was the LCHS team’s second-place finish against older and more experienced teams. Welch said, “I was very pleased with James’ performance as well as Marc Vigil’s.

David Dzubay finished with a 117, Ryan Mondragon with a 125, and Robert Deister with a 128, all good showings for the first tournament of the season.

The team travels to Trinidad, Delta and Falcon before the league tournament Aug. 28 in Holydot.

August 21, 2003 Edition From the Editor...

Wish we could help

Seldom does a week go by without the Herald getting a request for help with researching someone’s ancestors who may (or may not) have once lived in Leadville. Genealogical research is hot right now, and it seems as if everyone is searching for great, great granddad who may (or may not) have made a fortune in the Leadville mines. In truth, the Herald is a logical contact because it has been chronicling the doings of Leadville since 1879. If it happened here, it’s probably in the Herald or one of the many other papers that eventually came under the ownership of the Herald. The sad thing is that when these eager researchers arrive on our doorstep, we have to turn them away. Yes, our basement is crammed with bound volumes of all these early newspapers. But time is passing, and it is taking a toll on the flimsy newsprint they were printed on. Many of the bindings are broken, the pages are torn, and any handling at all causes them to crumble. Then there’s the sad fact that some of the articles have been removed from these early volumes. A number of individuals have told us that a well-known historical writer from the 1930s went through many of the volumes when researching the Tabors and used a razor blade to clip stories from them. Sure enough, you can see where these stories once were. So if we were to allow anyone in our newspaper morgue, even to look at the later and better-preserved newspapers, we’d have to have a staff member accompany them and police their actions. We don’t have the time

http://www.leadvilleherald.com/columnist/columnist.html (1 of 3) [8/21/2003 1:33:18 PM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat Online Classifieds! The Premiere News, Weather, Sports and Classifieds Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond! or the staff to do this. Instead, we direct these researchers to the Lake County Library where they can find many back issues of the paper on microfilm. Many issues, but not all. Frequently, the bound volumes in the Herald basement are the only existing copies of the newspapers in question. Efforts are under way to obtain grant money to finish microfilming all the volumes before they turn to dust. In a joint effort between the Resurrection Mining Co. and the Lake County Library, grants are being sought to find about $28,000 to complete the work. The total cost is estimated at $33,000 but $5,000 has already been raised from the Don L. Griswold Trust, the Lake County Commissioners, and Resurrection. Stan Oliner, a retired librarian and archivist who was curator of books and manuscripts for the Colorado Historical Society, has surveyed the old volumes and listed those which were not previously microfilmed. He has noted that one title, The Carbonate Chronicle, will fill in gaps never before microfilmed – 27 years worth of issues never available on microfilm. One attempt for funding has failed, and other avenues are now being sought. We hope that success will come because the clock is ticking for these old volumes. We also hate turning away researchers and genealogists, but we feel it is crucial to preserve what currently exists until we find a way that it can be microfilmed. Historic preservation is important to Leadville and Lake County. We hope that the potential funding organizations realize that preserving words means as much as preserving buildings.

Leo Joseph Rothermel, 80, died Aug. 12 at Porter Hospice in Littleton. Rothermel was born on July 19, 1923, in Detroit, Mich., to Leo Anthony and Helen J. (Gull) Rothermel. After graduating from St. Alphonsus High School in Dearborn, he began his studies at the University of Detroit. During this time he worked as an elevator operator, where he met his future wife Marcy Whyte. Rothermel enlisted in the United States Army, serving in the European and Pacific theaters. After an honorable discharge, he returned to Detroit where he married Marcy on June 21, 1947, in Grosse Pointe, Mich. After their marriage, he continued his studies, eventually receiving his MBA.

Letter to The Editor...

Make child’s education a priority

I read last week’s editorial “By the Numbers” with interest. I was especially struck by the ending comments suggesting that “raising some Cain” might lead to higher CSAP scores. I believe the school board goals and efforts are focused on improving those results already and “raising Cain” and writing letters to the paper isn’t going to change anything for the better. If they really want to make a difference they should attend the school accountability meetings, attend parent teacher conferences, try to get into the classroom to see what is happening, stress the importance of education at home, or make sure homework is getting done. I realize people are busy and can’t always attend meetings but they do need to make their child’s education a priority in some fashion. Advertise YOUR In society today, the individual no longer bears any responsibility for their predicament in life. We just look around and start to Business HERE! point the finger of blame. A teacher is expected to lead the proverbial horse to water and make him drink for six hours a day, 180 days a year. They are expected to adapt their teaching style to each individual child. They are expected to “engage” and “entertain” the children. They are expected to teach a lesson that will challenge a student who is two to three years above grade level and not be too difficult for the student next to him that is two to three years below grade level. Teachers not only are expected to teach academics but also societal values, ethics, culture, morals, sex education and personal hygiene. We drop off our children at kindergarten and expect a complete person back at

http://www.leadvilleherald.com/letters/letters.html (1 of 6) [8/21/2003 1:34:10 PM] Welcome to The Herald Democrat - Online! The Premiere News Source for Leadville, Colorado & Beyond! high school graduation. What are the expectations for the child? There are none that I can see. Does the parent bear any responsibility for what their child does in school? No, that part was conveniently left out of the “No Child Left Behind” legislation. No, we’re just supposed to make sure everyone else does their job. Graduates of our district have gone on to be successful doctors, attorneys, engineers, teachers and business people. At each grade level we have children scoring proficient and advanced in all subject areas. Some of our demographic-groups CSAP results compare very favorably on a statewide basis. We have a number of children that have participated in the “Rocky Mountain Talent Search” program and have scored well when compared to other top scholars in a seven-state region. So we know that the opportunity to get a good education is available in our schools. The evidence is pervasive and irrefutable. So, how are our schools doing? By my children I would say fine. Has it been perfect? No, (but I doubt that it is perfect anywhere). Could it be better? Sure. Do I regret sending them here? No. Do I get tired of defending my decision to school my children in a “low” performing school system? Yes. Do I feel my children are being prepared for life in the “real” world? Yes. I would just ask that before anyone goes to a school board meeting to “raise Cain” that they first look within themselves and ask “have I done all that I can do to make our schools better? Does my child go to school each day knowing that they have some responsibility in their education?” Our schools are a reflection of our community. If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, don’t yell at the mirror, take some responsibility for what’s in front of it and work to make it better. John Wells Silverhills

Extra effort is appreciated

I was leading a group of five teachers and 12 students from the Central High School Outdoor Rec Club in Cheyenne, Wyo., from Turquoise Lake to Camp Hale during the first week in August. When we reached the trailhead at Tennessee Pass on Aug. 5, there was a note from the Lake County Sheriff's office with an emergency message for one of the members of our party. The student was able to make contact with his parent in Cheyenne, and although the word was not good, the student was able to receive information that was very important to him. I would like to thank the Lake County Sheriff's office and Irv and

Jackie Goetsch for their extra effort that allowed this young man to receive the information he needed to make a difficult decision that he otherwise would not have known about until after we returned to Cheyenne. Acts of kindness such as this often times go unnoticed. All of us would like to say thank you for going the extra bit and doing what was right. Duane Cook Outdoor Education Instructor Central High School Cheyenne, Wyoming

Place levy on recreation events

The ultra events bring in some of the greatest people -- people that you would be grateful to have here as neighbors. They also give the area a brief economic boost. These 100-mile events would not have been so well-run or kept going but by the hard work of Ken, Merilee and Pat. If you have never run or biked an ultra, then trying to describe what it's like is like trying to talk to teenagers about sex. They think they know everything but don't have a clue. The ultra events are so unique an event for Lake County that they have to be supported. However, the greater share of the money still goes out of Lake County. The Pool fund is also short of money. Maintain pressure on our elected officials to levy a permit on all recreational events. A self-powered recreator before Lycra Lemmings; and I even support motorized sports. James Feistner Leadville

City lauded for finance statement

Dear Mayor Gaede: We recently received a copy of the City of Leadville’s comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended Dec. 1, 2002. Your city’s early implementation of GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments, is commendable, and I want to recognize your efforts. As you know the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) seeks to improve financial reporting in a number of ways. The GASB believes that improvements in reporting cost of services information and the overall financial position of the government to taxpayers, governing boards and other financial statement users result from the implementation of Statement 34. Therefore, we encourage early implementation so that this information will be available to those users on a more timely basis. We are extremely pleased and impressed by your city’s ability to prepare the new financial statements in such a timely fashion. Your early implementation is a tribute to your city treasurer, Eva

Fenske, and your auditors, McMahan and Associates, L. L. C., for their expertise and assistance to the city. I also want to commend you and the city’s governing body for supporting the efforts to provide your citizens and other financial statement users with a more comprehensive reporting of the city’s financial operations well in advance of the effective date of the standard. It is my hope that these users of your financial statements will recognize your efforts. I have mailed your finance department a certificate to display in recognition of their early- implementation efforts. I have provided a copy of this letter and other information on Statement 34 to your local newspaper in hopes that their recognition of your efforts will encourage other governments to provide this improved financial reporting to their citizens and other financial statement users as quickly as possible. Tom L. Allen Chairman Governmental Accounting Standards Board
