Relay For Life 2014

            March 28th will mark four (4) years without my wife, Susan. I still mourn her loss to colon cancer. Not long following her untimely death, my good friend, Stan Zuege, suggested I help him do logistics for Relay For Life.

            Although I knew Relaty For Life was a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, I had never volunteered to participate. Stan and I became partners doing logistics for the Relay For Life and this last year, we took on different responsiblities in conjunction with a number of other community volunteers to make 2013 the most successful fundraising effort Relay has had locally. After the event, Stan and I committed to one more year – please join us.

            This year, Relay For Life is set for June 20, 2014. We will be kicking off the campaign later this spring, but first we need to get organized. You are invited to the organizational meeting for this year’s event, which will be February 4, 2014 at the Ecoluxe @ the Springs Conference Room. Plan on coming at 5:00 PM and enjoy refreshments as we set our sights on 2014.


There are few among us who have not experienced a great loss as the result of cancer. Help us stop cancer. We could sure use your help this year. Thanks!

“All organizations are merely conceptual embodiments of a very old, very basic idea – the idea of community. They can be no more or less than the sum of the beliefs of the people drawn to them; of their character, judgments, acts and effort.” Dee Hock from The New Transitional HR Model About twenty-five days out from the 2008 national elections I wrote an article for the Daily Post endorsing Ron Chacey. I lamented over concerns I had for the direction the County might take under a majority consisting of John Ranson and Bob Moomaw. After the election, and as a result of the ambush and assault on the County’s planning commission, I wrote another article lamenting concerns that Archuleta County continued to disregard good process, policies and predictability. Since then, I have pelted Bill Hudson and Glenn Walsh with information, but refrained and even refused to write anything myself. A couple of weeks ago, I re-introduced myself to Terri House at a Rot...

Editorial to the Pagosa Daily Post Re: You don’t get to Have Your Own Facts The San Juan River Headwaters Project (“the Project”) is the official name given what was the Dry Gulch Project. San Juan Water Conservancy District (‘the District”) has made no secret of the reason for the name change so why Mike Church think it is disingenuous is odd. First, “Dry Gulch” was never an official name of the Project, but rather simply referenced what the project area was referred to on topographical maps. Second, Dry Gulch referenced a project led by Pagosa Area Water & Sanitation District (“PAWSD”), which is no longer the case so it has no say in the project name, the name of the road into the project area, the reservoir, the islands in the reservoir, the ridge above the reservoir, or anything else. PAWSD gave up whatever rights it had as part of the 3 Way Agreement that PAWSD and the District entered into with Colorado Water Conservation Board (“the CWCB”). Finally, the Project ...
