Town Trustees Debate Future
Operation of OHVs in Lake City
Following the outcome of the April 1 municipal
election, which posed a question on the use of offhighway vehicles (OHVs) in town limits, trustees
discussed the future of the vehicles in their April 16
meeting.
The ballot question, which asked voters whether
the town trustees should consider allowing OHVs to
operate on town streets, was voted down almost two
to one, with 118 votes against and 65 for allowing
OHVs.
The April 1 ballot was the third in 12 years with a
question on allowing OHVs in town. Previous ballot
questions, in elections in 1996 and 2004, had similar
outcomes, with the majority of residents voting not
to allow the off-road vehicles. The 2008 election had
the widest margin of no to yes votes of all three
elections.
During their Wednesday evening meeting, trustees
discussed potential actions the town could take
based on the election outcome. Mayor Larry Iiams
opened the discussion with his take, “We have a two
to one vote that electors are against OHVs on our
town streets. Three times of saying no is enough.”
“Where do we go from here?” Iiams queried the
board.
Audience member Greg Ochocki asked the board to
revisit a suggestion from last fall that the town
provide an OHV parking area at the edge of town on
County Road 20, on Henson Creek road. Currently
an OHV staging area is provided by the county
farther up CR 20, approximately one-half mile from
town limits.
Ochocki suggested moving the parking area closer
to the business district as one way the town could
make OHV riders feel welcome. He said the parking
site could contain signs and information from local
businesses, as well as a clear map directing people
downtown. Trustee Henry Woods added the board
had already considered creating such a parking area
next to the “Pumphouse Park” at the end of First and
Bluff Streets.
Trustee Roger VonRiesen said he would support a
municipal ordinance that would prohibit OHVs from
operating in Lake City. The town currently has no
ordinances relating to the use of OHVs, relying on
Colorado state law which prohibits OHVs on all
public roadways in the state.
“An ordinance would firmly set in place the voters’
wishes for no OHVs in town,” VonRiesen said. “It
could be modeled after the ordinance used in the
Town of Silverton.”
“I think we have had problems with state statues
being enforced last summer,” VonRiesen continued.
“We are under contract with the sheriff to enforce
municipal ordinances. I think this is a good idea.”
VonRiesen distributed a copy of the Silverton
ordinance prohibiting OHVs to use as a blueprint for
a similar Lake City ordinance. Iiams voiced his
support for VonRiesen’s position, stating he is in
favor of an ordinance prohibiting OHVs. “It would
fit the town’s agreement with the sheriff to enforce
municipal ordinances.”
Newly elected trustee Pete Aldred countered Von
Riesen’s position, stating, “I don’t see any benefit in
an ordinance of this type. I prefer a more proactive,
positive approach. Why do we need to go down that
path when state statutes are already in place? We
need a more broader approach.”
Aldred recalled the fact licensed OHVs are allowed
to operate in Lake City and told the board, “We need
to figure out how to allow licensed OHVs to operate
in town.”
Aldred’s comments referred to a 2004 Seventh
Judicial District Court ruling which allowed OHVs to
operate within the district if they are licensed as
vehicles from their home states. Currently 19 states
license OHVs as automobiles, which must operate
under traffic laws. The ruling was based on
Colorado’s Interstate Compact Agreement, which
allows licensed vehicles from other states to be
recognized as vehicles in Colorado. The ruling,
which Hinsdale County Sheriff Ron Bruce says is
binding in Lake City, only relates to areas within the
Seventh Judicial District, in which Lake City is
located.

DIRT Grant to
Promote Historic
Property Ownership
Lake City Downtown Improvement and
Revitalization District (DIRT) has received a $1,500
National Trust for Historic Preservation grant
through the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns to
create an informational piece for potential and
existing historic property owners in Lake City.
Community partners include the Town of Lake
City, Hinsdale County, Hinsdale County Historical
Society, and local realty companies.
Only one of five projects selected nationwide, the
piece will describe the emotional, financial and
historicall benefits of preserving historic structures in
Lake City, according to DIRT Executive Director
Kristie Borchers.
“The information packet will describe the many
financial benefits to owning historic property in Lake
City and Hinsdale County,” Borchers said, “as well
as the guidelines for historic buildings set forth by
the Town of Lake City.”
At this time, no such publication exists that brings
all the current information together on the benefits of
purchasing or owning historic property that is
specific to the Lake City area, Borchers said.
Local realtors will distribute the guide to
prospective property buyers, enabling them to
demonstrate the benefits of owning historic
properties. Financial benefits include federal and
state tax credits, low-income loans and other
financial incentives.

the future.” He suggested the town create guidelines
for the licensed OHVs allowed in town.
Sheriff Bruce said he believed the town must
follow the court’s ruling to recognize OHVs as
vehicles if they are licensed in their home state. He
added that the court ruling makes for a “unique
situation” in Lake City. “We need the state to craft
legislation to make this work,” Bruce said. “Right
now it is a mess.”
Sheriff Bruce said if Colorado chooses to license
OHVs, then municipalities could make their own
laws regarding the vehicles.
Bruce stated he would follow the direction of the
trustees, stating “I will not cross wires with the board
again.” He told the board Colorado State Patrol will
ticket any OHV operating on a state highway,
whether the vehicle is licensed or not. On town
streets, Bruce said he gives a warning to unlicensed
OHV riders. If the same rider is contacted a second
time, a ticket is written. Licensed OHVs are
permitted to operate.
Trustee Schuyler Denham said he did not feel the
town should take the time to craft an ordinance that
would eventually be “unenforceable.” Woods said he
did not feel the town needed to craft an ordinance
prohibiting OHVs “right now.”
Audience member Mary Carkin questioned
whether the court ruling would affect a municipal
ordinance prohibiting OHVs in Lake City.
The board decided to table the OHV discussion to a
future meeting and invite town attorney Mike
Schottlekottee to attend the meeting. “Mike can give
his opinion on an ordinance vs. the court ruling,”
Town Manager Michelle Pierce said, “and tell us if

In other town business, trustees approved
spending $16,380 on dust control for Lake City’s dirt
roads. The town will once again use X-Henson, a
plant-based product from EnviroTech Services Inc.,
based in Greeley, Colorado.
The town started using X-Henson last year, after
using a variety of dust control measures and
products. According to EnviroTech, the product
binds base materials together “while maintaining a
road surface that is flexible and water resistant.
Mayor Iiams called the product, “the greenest
product we can find out there.” The cost for the
application has not changed from 2007, and the
product will be applied in the same amounts as last
summer, either .25 or .5 gallons per square yard, for a
total of 19,500 gallons. Application will take place in
mid-June.
The trustees’ quick adoption of the X-Henson
proposal is a dramatic departure from dust control
discussions from years past, which often continued
for weeks with emotional input from board members
and the public. Magnesium Chloride, used for dust
control by the town for a number of years, was
increasingly considered environmentally damaging.
In an effort to move away from the use of
Magnesium Chloride, the town has used a mix of
Mag and Lignon Sulfate, a vegetable oil product,
street watering and – for three years – nothing.
Woods said he is happy the town is no longer using
Magnesium Chloride, but added the expense of XHenson is holding the town back from moving
forward with street surfacing, part of the town’s ten
year street master plan. “The money should be spent
elsewhere,” he said.
Iiams countered, saying he believes the money is
well spent and that dust control is a health and safety
issue. “We are going to continue to treat our roads
until we have more paved streets, which we are
moving forward on.”

DOW Says
Colorado Bears
Now Out of
Hibernation
Mid-April, 2 a.m. -- A woman hears a loud noise
and looks out the window to see a black bear sniffing
around her trash can. She secured the lid on the can
with a bungee cord. She watches as the bear lifts the
can and throws it. The lid flies off and the bear has
found something to eat.
It's that time of year when Colorado's bears
emerge from hibernation. Male bears come out first.
Depending on the weather and elevation, they start
coming out in early to mid-April. If they don't find
green grass or new plant growth to eat, they might
go back into the den. Females with cubs come out
later, but they will all be out by May.
Every year, the Colorado Division of Wildlife
(DOW) receives phone calls from residents
concerned about bears visiting their property. It ran
through my yard! It knocked over my trash! It was
on my deck! The stories usually end with a question,
"What should I do about it?"
In communities located in bear country, residents
often have conflicting views about what to do. Most
people say, "learn to live with them," but some want
bears moved "back where they belong."
A hundred years ago, there were places in
Colorado where bears could live without coming in
contact with people, but today there are few places
left in bear habitat where people haven't built
subdivisions, campgrounds, or summer homes.
Given a choice, bears would just as soon avoid
people, but there are not many far-away places to
move bears "back where they belong" anymore.
Bears are territorial. Sometimes, bears return to
where they were captured within days.
As a result, the one of the best options left today is
for people to take precautions and learn to co-exist
with bears, and other wildlife.
To keep bears out of trash cans, garages and
homes, people should reduce the chance that bears
find easy food by removing attractants. Once a bear
finds food in a location, it becomes programmed to
continue looking for food in similar places. If that
location is near people, the desire for easy food will
replace its fear of humans.
In all likelihood, the bear that was determined to
get inside the trash can found food in a similar trash
can before. Leaving garbage out overnight - even one
ty
n
u
o
C
e
l

Publi
time - is a tempting invitation to bears. A mother
bear that eats trash teaches her offspring to do the
same.
On the other hand, if a bear wanders through a
community and does not find anything to eat, it will
keep moving and go back out of town looking for
natural foods such as seeds, insects, edible plants,
nuts, or berries.
Changing human behavior and removing common
attractants discourages bear visits that put both
humans and bears at risk.
The DOW encourages residents to make property
"bear-resistant" by cleaning or removing any items a
bear might consider potential food sources.
* Keep garbage in airtight containers inside a
garage or storage area.
* Clean trash cans with ammonia to reduce odors
that attract bears.
* Place garbage for pickup outside just before
collection and not the night before.
* Use a bear-proof can or dumpster - if not
available, ask your trash-removal company for
options.
* Take down bird feeders when bears are active. If a
bear finds a birdfeeder, it will look around the
neighborhood for other easy food within reach.
* Do not leave pet food or dishes outdoors at night.
Store pet food inside in airtight containers.
* Clean outdoor grills after each use. The smell of
grease can attract bears, even when no food is
present.
* Never intentionally feed bears to attract them for
viewing. It is illegal to feed bears in Colorado.
Remember, "A fed bear is a dead bear." By making
food available to a bear, even a single time, teaches
the bear to associate humans with food. Once a bear
learns this association, it can become a returning
nuisance and wildlife officers must destroy the bear.
An ounce of prevention is truly worth 200 pounds of
cure.

Diane Bruce, owner/broker at United Country Blue
Moose Realty in Lake City, recently received the
Master Salesman Award based on the firm’s real
estate sales in 2007. Sales Associate Dave Roberts was
also honored as a recipient of the Pinnacle Club
Award for his individual sales accomplishments last
year.
Based out of Kansas City, Missouri, United Country
Realty was established in 1925 to serve the rural real
estate market. The company now encompasses more
than 700 offices throughout the nation.
Friends were concerned earlier this week after it
was learned that local girl Willow Wagner was
injured by an automobile while riding her bicycle in
Gunnison. Willow’s injuries will require several
months’ recuperation following surgery which is
scheduled in coming days. Local pals who have
known Willow since childhood wish her a speedy
recovery and hope she’s soon out and about again.
Several interesting construction projects in the
offing, including excavation which has taken place
on the southeast corner of Gunnison Avenue and 8th
Streets for recreation director Ben Hake. Sheltered
beneath two towering spruce trees, the location of
Ben’s new house is the site of the old HuntMcCloughan house. The old Hunt house was a
sizeable, board-and-bat sided residence with large
brick fireplaces on each gable end of the main house.
The old structure started out as a boarding house for
the Ocean Wave Smelter in 1877 and was later the
residence of succeeding generations of the pioneer
Hunt family, beginning with brickmason J.A. Hunt
and later his daughter, Pearl Hunt McCloughan,
prior to being razed in 1974.
Just up Gunnison Avenue, Bruce Vierheller has
now enclosed his newest speculative venture, a twostory frame residence with neat bay window which
promises to be an ornament to Lake City’s northern
suburbs.

SILVER WORLD Editor Grant Houston returned to
Lake City on Monday afternoon this week following
a two-week car jaunt which took him on a leisurely
trip through the Pacific northwest. He and an old
friend, Russell Gammon, traveled up the California
coast from San Francisco to the redwoods, stopping
off along the route in coastal Oregon before
continuing on to Seattle, Washington, and on up to
Vancouver, British Columbia. In Seattle, Grant visited
briefly with Leslie Vogel whose mother, Bernice
Rawson, is an old-time Lake City girl. Leslie plans a
visit in Lake City later this summer.
Grant returned home via Silver Star, Montana,
where he and Russ spent an enjoyable week with
Grant’s father and step-mother, Jim and Susan
Houston. The elder Houston is the donor of a rare
Newhouse bear trap which has been given to
Hinsdale County Museum; the trap was effectively
used for decades on the old McDonough Ranch on
the Cochetopa, during that time fatally ensnaring
one of this region’s last Grizzly bears.

Historians Intrigued
by Purpose of
Mysterious Vaults
by Mike Pearce
Open-interior rock vaults found sporadically on
river terraces in high elevation settings in the
Southern Rocky Mountains pose intriguing
questions, among them, “what were they used for?,”
and “who built them?” Constructed of natural,
unshaped and unmortared stone, the above-ground
structures have been described and explained in a
variety of ways.
storage shelters.
Though easily accessible and
surrounded by light scatters of chert
flakes, some large rock vaults in the Lake
Fork Valley are located on dry benches,
not on heavily used terraces with ready
supplies of fresh water. Rather than
choose open sites, placing them instead
in lower traffic areas could have
decreased the chances that other visitors
to the region would help themselves to
the stored items.

Common measurements for some of these stone
features are six to eight feet in length, three to four
feet wide, and over three feet high. In other words,
the dimensions appear big enough to accommodate a
human body.
Close examination of the vault floors, however, fail
to produce bone or tooth fragments of interred
humans or animals. Also missing are mortuary
offerings such as prehistoric artifacts like beads,
stone tools, pottery, or other durable historic
materials including metal buttons, clasps, and so on.
Access apertures, like the 12 x 16” opening in the
accompanying photograph, suggest the intention of
reuse, rather than single use, sealed-forever nature of
a burial crypt. A final indicator arguing against
identifying the vaults as burial sites is the fact that
many prehistoric burials in the Southern Rocky
Mountain locales are in crevices, caves, or cairns in
remote locations, not in above-ground vaults in
easily accessible river terrace locations.
Additionally, in the types of locale described here,
there are no traces of grave markers common in
historic era burials.
Treasure or High Grade Ore Stashes
The romantic notion and lure of lost or hidden
treasure will probably always lead us toward the
possibility that rock vaults could be a way to hide
gold, ore, or other valuables. Aside from the fact that
no traces of ore or other valuables are to be found in
these structures, they are located in areas more likely
to facilitate easy relocation and reuse than for hiding
something for later reclaiming. Just as caves and
crevices would be preferred for protecting human
remains from scavenging animals, much less obvious
locations than those on highly visible river terraces
would be preferable for sheltering treasure or
valuables.
Storage Caches
Another explanation that could fit the
circumstances is that people who walked hundreds
of miles to reach camp destinations in the high
country might have elected not to transport but to
instead store heavier tool items like manos, metates,
choppers, flake knives, and perhaps surplus baskets,
dry food materials, excess animal hides, or similar
materials.
An elongated vault would have been advantageous
if surplus bows or atlatls were to be left in storage for
future use. The practice of storing excess tools like
knives and drills in earthen pits is well established
for the area and could have been extended to larger
or more perishable items by constructing these rock
the rock vaults in the Lake
Fork Valley is that they
were bread ovens for
workers who blasted rock
and constructed grades for
the spur to Lake City, work
which began in 1881 and,
with a multi-year
intermission, was
completed in 1889.
Duane Vandenbusche
and Mary P. Rossillon both
state unequivocally that the
railroad workers in the
Lake Fork Valley were
Italians (Vandenbusche,
The Gunnison Country, 1980, and Rossillon, The
Archaeology of Marion, An Historic Railroad Camp
in Curecanti National Recreation Area, 1984).
Rossillon also includes a section describing the
lives of Italian railroad workers and the bread ovens
they built elsewhere in the west. The ovens in the
Lake Fork Valley are consistent with those they built
in other locations, so it seems likely that they offer
the best explanation for those that exist between
Lake City and Blue Mesa Reservoir.
Conclusion
While other reasons for the presence of high
elevation rock vaults may be found with further
inquiry, the most plausible explanation for the Lake
Fork examples at this time seems to be that they were
built by immigrant Italian railroad builders, probably
to help them preserve part of their heritage and make
living in a new, unfamiliar land more palatable.
Italian immigrants
building the Lake
City branch of the
Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad in the 1880s
are the suspected
builders of stone
vaults which were
probably used for
cooking purposes.
Examples of the
bake ovens in varying
degrees of condition
are
occasionally
spotted from Lake
City
extending
northward to Blue
Mesa
Reservoir,
including
the
mounded pile of rocks
and broken door lintel
pictured at left and
below.
A possible
explanation of vault's
use, top photo, is the
rusted remnant of
baking powder can,
along side flint chips
which were probably
coincidental and not
related to the oven’s
use.

Cavit and her husband, Dennis, Lake City; Kevin
Casey, North Hollywood, California; and Sean Casey
and his wife, Patti, Gaston, Oregon; nine
grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
James enjoyed traveling with his wife and family,
and especially loved his visits to Lake City to see his
daughter and son-in-law, the Cavits. While he loved
the view of the ocean from his home in Oregon, he
also marveled at the beauty of the mountains while
in Colorado, and in particular Lake City.
The story of the “enormous” bear going past while
Jim and Shirley were taking a walk in San Juan
Ranch Estates remains one of the funniest stories told
at family reunions, and the bear gets bigger each
time the story is told.
He enjoyed visiting St. Rose of Lima Catholic
Church, especially meeting all of the members of the
parish. Always willing to strike up a conversation
with anyone, Jim enjoyed any time he could meet
new folks and always seemed to have the “luck of
the Irish,” as he would always find someone from his
hometown or some other place he had lived
throughout the years. At the top of Cinnamon Pass
he met a couple from another small Oregon coast
town right next to Oceanside. It is a small world.
Jim Casey will be missed by many in Oregon where
he served as the president of the local community
club, a member of a study group to discuss flooding
in the area, and on numerous committees for his
homeowners’ association.
But he will be missed even more by his family and
friends just because of who he was -- the class clown
of high school who never changed, a man who could
find humor in almost any situation and made
everyone feel at home.
Dorothy Monnet,
the sorority’s board as an active alumna for many
years afterwards; her other interests included Pen &
Quill Book Club, Connoisseur Club, and Coterie
Club, as well as the “Ladies of the Lake” Mahjong
group.
She was a long time member of the Crown Heights
Christian Church. During their 54 years’ marriage,
the Monnets enjoyed travel throughout the world,
although Dorothy frequently cited her days spent at
Lake City in the Colorado mountains as among her
most favorite times.
Dorothy’s enduring passion, however, was her role
as wife, mother, and homemaker. Throughout her
life, her children and grandchildren were a
continuing source of delight.
In addition to her husband, Charles Monnet,
Dorothy is survived by five children and their
spouses, Charles Monnet III, Lake City, Bob and
Debbie Monnet, Edmond, Oklahoma, Carolyn and
Jim Odor, Edmond, Oklahoma, Diane and Kris
Cooper, Branson, Missouri, and Michael and Karol
Monnet, Littleton, Colorado.
Other survivors are 19 grandchildren, a brother,
Robert Bainbridge of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and
numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorial services were held Friday afternoon,
April 25, at Crown Heights Christian Church.
Memorial donations may be made to Kids Across
America, 1429 Lakeshore Drive, Branson, Missouri
65616.
continued from page 3
Following graduation from Classen High School in
1950, she received a degree in business from
University of Oklahoma and for two years was
employed as secretary for the Dean of the University
of Oklahoma Medical School.
