Amber-brown color very clear
a very spicy smell. clove, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Almost pumpkin pie but really just the spices.
Taste like Pumpkin and cinnamon mixed in with ginger and nutmeg but very light. Not strong at all.
light body and very smooth goes down very easy
Over All this is what I would call a lite pumpkin ale if such a thing was made. I can drink it but I would not go out and get it

Poured a light copper color color, and produced a 2 finger beige head. It disapated quickly.
The smell was of pumpkin pie. Yum!
The taste was similar , but not as much of the pumpkin pie taste came through. It had a slight sour finish. Light mouth-feel, an high-ish carbonation.
The smell was great the taste that followed was a little bit of a let down.

22 oz. bottle poured into a shaker pint.
Appearance-Amber-brown color with decent clarity. Dense, creamy, pale beige head has decent retention.
Aroma-Very spicy up front with clove, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon all in the forefront-somewhat reminiscent of mulling spices. Light squashy/faintly nutty aroma in the background. Has an overall sort of holiday spice cake aroma, with slight presence of bread and brown sugar. Pleasant.
Flavor-Thin and strangely sweetish up front, with a watery pumpkin candy character at the start, before a bit of the spice begins to open on the mid-palate. The finish bears suggestions of clove and nutmeg, but is quite weak compared to the aroma. The aftertaste is actually moderately pleasant with some of the pumpkin flesh notes starting to come forward, but on the whole I'm not very enamored with the flavor here. There's also a strange tartness to the palate as a whole that I find unpleasant.
Mouthfeel-Medium light body, and it feels a bit thin and watery. Moderately high carbonation doesn't help this impression.
Smells promising, but the flavor really doesn't deliver-with strange, tart, pumpkin-candy flavors which fizzle to a lightly sour, lightly spiced pumpkin flavor. Just not that good.

This beer pours a clear ruby color. The head is half an inch in height, and recedes slowly into a small cap of lacing. The aroma is of nutmeg, all spice, cinnamon, and a hint of pumpkin in the background. The taste is a bit mellower than the aroma with more of a malty roundness. There is, however, still a significant pumpkin spice character that is foremost on the palate. The mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium bodied with a watery texture, and aggressive carbonation. Overall, this is a pretty good pumpkin ale. However, the thin body really detracts from my enjoyment of the rest of the beer.

Poured into a 12 oz Pilsner Glass on Thanksgiving; notes taken on 11-25-11.
Appearance - Pours a clean, dark red color with a slightly redish 1 finger head.
Smell - Sweet Pumpkin mixed in with cinnamon and ginger. There's also a very slight malty scent present.
Taste - Pumpkin and cinnamon mixed in with ginger and nutmeg. The flavor is a little on the lighter side compared to other pumpkin ales I've had before, but it's still fairly good.
Mouthfeel - It's got a fairly light body and an overt smoothness to it. Carbonation is also mild, which is typical of these types of ales.
Overall - For what it is, it's a solid pumpkin ale. If there was just more flavor in here, this probably would've been one of the my favorite pumpkin ales. It's got alot of pontential, so maybe next year they can improve on the flavor.

Serving glass: Clear amber-orange with thin off-white head.
Smell: Lots of spice in the aroma, with cloves, ginger and cinnamon most noticeable. Some light caramel and pumpkin.
Taste: Caramel and nutty pumpkin, with a very spicy layer on top. Notes of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger - the nutmeg and allspice last long into the finish.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, fairly light body, dry finish.
Overall: Great low abv Pumpkin Ale.

3.88/5 rDev +10.5%
No freshness dating but this is the first year it was bottled I believe thus it is fresh???
A= Pours a translucent amber color with a thin sort of coca cola like head on it that rises and falls with relative ease. The head actually holds some decent retention for the way it looks. The lacing is pretty minimal.
S= Smells high on the spice. The pumpkin is a little light compared to the spice. Lots of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg in it. The underlying malt is a decent caramelly background typical of an amber.
T= The flavor is again very high on spice. The pumpkin comes through a little more than the nose lead on. It has a lot of the spices mentioned above. The problem I see is that it's all spice (pun). There really isn't much backing the spice. It almost tastes like a spiced water if that makes sense.
M= Very light on the body with a little too high carbonation.
O= This is a very very well spiced beer. Nice flavors come through but there isn't much behind the spice. A little more malt and heaft to it would make this a tasty treat. I still like it quite a bit however. One of the better pumpkin beers I think.

4/5 rDev +14%
Appearance: Clear amber, good head.
Smell: Nice pumpkin pie smell.
Taste: Follows along the smell, pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, hint of clove. Light mouthfeel.
Drinkability: I'm usually not a fan of pumpkin beers, but I could have a few of these.
Supporting the local brewery by trying a style I don't normally have, Mummy Train surprised me pleasantly. Nice pumpkin pie smell and flavor without going overboard on the spices. Nicely sweet without going too far, and good spiced flavor. Good stuff.

Shared with some friends over halloween weekend. Strong aroma of pumpkin spiciness - with flavor to match. Probably the best example of a pumpkin beer other than ST. Mouthfeel was a bit thin. Picked up a couple bottles of this and plan to dig into them on thanksgiving.

3.9/5 rDev +11.1%
Pours from a bomber an lighter amber hue with a fizzy head that disappears quickly. Not much in the way of lacing.
Awesome smell of pumpkin pie spices. Nutmeg and cinnamon really stand out. Very nice smell of warm and spicy pumpkin pumpkin pie overall.
Tastes much like a homemade pumpkin butter. Lots of pumpkin pie spices to go with the pumpkin. Rather skimpy malt presence. Pumpkin and spices are tasty and really stand out, but they do beg for a malty sweetness. Very long spice finish.
The body is too thin and light. Makes it go down easy, but the need for body is there. Quite dry feeling from all of the spices.
I like this beer, but I would really love it if it had a larger malt base. All the components are there for a perfect pumpkin ale, except the malt, which would really help out the body and flavor.

Had on tap at the Groveland Tap in St. Paul, MN. Served in a British style tulip pint glass.
Appearance: Bright amber orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. About three fingers of off white head with decent retention. Lots of sticky lacing.
Smell: Strong aroma of cinnamon spices up front with nutmeg and pumpkin pie. Hints of bready caramel malts, apple, and earthy hops. Smell is very spicy and moderately sweet.
Taste: Like the smell, lots of spicy cinnamon and nutmeg up front. Solid body of pumpkin pie flavor with hints of caramel malts, toffee, and apple. Hop presence is very light. Fairly spicy and sweet while still being well balanced.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Very smooth. Spices leave a nice lingering aftertaste in the mouth.
Overall: A very solid spiced pumpkin beer. Full flavored and pretty easy drinking.

On tap at Ngon Vietnamese in St. Paul and served in a tulip. Can't say I'm a fan, the beer is too thin for the spices and comes off to perfumey and like an overpowered scented candle. The cinnamon and nutmeg are just too much. The mellow and subtle pumpkin flavor is actually really nice and complex, but the spicing levels are too much. Also, the flavor reminds me oddly enough of apple cinnamon cider, that can't be good for a pumpkin beer.
UPDATE 11/24/10: Tried this again at Stub & Herb's and found it to be a pleasantly drinkable pumkin beer. It was relatively thin, but not too thin. There was a big pumpkin pie flavor with a good hit of cinnamon.

Hazy orange coloration, slim head.
Aroma: all pumpkin spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, a little of clove. Mmmm.
More spice once in the mouth. Medium bodied, high carbonation, spritzy and spicy. Long, lingering finish in the mouth.
Easy drinkability, refreshing, not too big, not too boisterous. A sessionable pumpkin ale.

Update: Darren Urban spoke to Ken Whisenhunt on the matter. Whiz had this to say: "It seems like you'd be hard-pressed to find a team that hasn't been linked to (Roethlisberger interest)," Whisenhunt said. "At this time of year there's no shortage of information and misinformation flying around; who teams are interested in drafting, who they're not, who's gonna be traded, etc. From our standpoint, it doesn't seem to make sense to publicly comment on which rumors are fact and which are fiction but I can tell you there's a fair amount of each." In his weekly interview with Doug and Wolf on Sports 620 KTAR, John Clayton reported that the Cards did in fact call the Steelers about Big Ben. He did mention that he didn't know if the Cards even offered anything for Ben or if it even got that far, but just the fact that they are wondering has to make you think the Cards have some doubts that quarterback Matt Leinart can give them what they want out of the position. I personally don't think they will trade for him but you never know, crazier things have happened before.
It's a 5th round pick 49ers gave Dolphins for Ginn. Filed to ESPN after taping special edition of The Mort Report for ESPN Rado #NFLDraft— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) April 16, 2010
According to Chris Mortensen, of ESPN, the Niners will part with their 5th round draft pick in this years draft for Ginn. Guess this ends those rumors of the Cards trading for him. He would have been of some use for us as a 4th receiver and as our punt returner.

As we all have heard, Joey Porter was arrested over the weekend for resisting arrest, assault on an officer, and DUI. After this happened there were no official charges against Porter and the California DA's office has decided to not charge him at all for these offenses. Good news for Porter and the Cardinals.

NFL.com posted an unofficial list of unrestricted free agents in the upcoming uncapped season. This is unofficial because some of these players will more than likely be resigned or have the franchise tag slapped them. As of now the list is at 235 free agents, 14 of these belong to the Cardinals. It also details how many games they started last season, how many seasons in the NFL, and who their agent is.
Now that the 2009 season is officially over with the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl win, it is time to take a look at some possible moves for the Arizona Cardinals 2010 off season.
The Cardinals added 28 year old defensive end Stevie Baggs Thursday. Baggs played for the CFL Saskatchewan Roughriders this past season, where he tied the league lead with 12 sacks. He is a bit undersized to be playing defensive end but at 6-1, 245 pounds he could fit nicely as an OLB, which going into this offseason is a big need for the Cards.
First showing will be tonight (Thursday) at 5:30 P.M. If you miss that, than you can catch it again tomorrow night (Friday) at 9 P.M. It should be getting posted on azcardinals.com sometime next week as well.
The Cardinals aren't going to try and trade for Donovan McNabb. They aren't going to give up draft picks for an older QB who is going to be looking for a new contract (McNabb is scheduled to be a free agent after 2010). Maybe McNabb, who has a house in Chandler, becomes more attractive if he hits the free-agent market after next season, but that's assuming the Eagles let him leave. But there will be no trade, even if the Eagles decide to deal him.Darren Urban clearing up the trade speculation of Donovan McNabb. He also mentions that the Cards will not be interested in Michael Vick either.
I guess since the Super Bowl is just a week and a half away that everyone is talking about greatest Super Bowl plays ever. The good news is that it is coming from the Arizona / Pittsburgh game, which coincidentally is the bad news too. The play they are calling the best play ever in the Super Bowl is James Harrison's interception return for a touchdown.

This article goes into more depth of what Matt Leinart had to do during his MMA training over the offseason.. We saw a little bit of this toughness show in the St. Louis game when he shook off a defender and threw a bullet to Early Doucet. Jay Glazer's thoughts on Leinart: "The Matt Leinart I knew was some prissy pretty boy who I would love to have fought in two seconds," he says. "But he's not the same Matt Leinart." The 49er's Patrick Willis also did these workouts to toughen him self up, like he needed to get any tougher. Very interesting article.

Austin Police say a HALO camera did not capture what happened in the 300 block of West 5th street. Officers responded to reports of shots fired shortly before the bars closed.
Detective Jarrett Crippen says a verbal argument started inside one of the clubs and spilled out onto the street. Police say as the shooter started to leave he fired anywhere from five to twelve shots into the crowd.
Police say three bullets hit one victim and another victim was shot at least once. Friends transported both of the victims to UMC Brackenridge in personal vehicles. Both are expected to make full recoveries.
The shooting took place on the sidewalk in the 300 block of West 5th. Police have not released the name of the club where the argument started. They are trying to piece together exactly what happened from witnesses.
"Any incident in Austin's party district you have a lot of people some of them have been indulging in alcohol so witness stories do vary but right now we're pretty sure what happened but still looking for more information," said Detective Jarrett Crippen.
Witnesses told police they believe the shooter ran away from the area with a group of people and then got into a car.
Police haven't released any information about a possible suspect or vehicle description.

Police received an 11:28 p.m. report that there was a large group in front of a bar on Pleasant Street, but an officer was unable to locate anybody in the area.
A caller reported a loud party on Pleasant Street at 12:31 a.m. "Officers were there already and cleared the area," wrote police. "Peace restored."
A man reported at 6:21 a.m. that "poison fumes" were coming from 10 Jersey St. "He asked that there be no response and a log-in only," wrote an officer. "He thinks that residence should be investigated."
Police received a 7:29 a.m. report that a dark-colored car driven by a dark-haired man possibly in his 30s had twice circled a woman at a bus stop on Washington Street. "She was advised that an entry would be made and if the incident happens again to try and get a better description with possibly a plate," wrote an officer.
Police responded to a 3:06 p.m. report that a group of people with a pit bull were "causing an issue" at Main Street Laundry, 122 Main St. An officer wrote later that "the parties will leave the dog outside of the business while they do laundry."
A white male in a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt broke into a trailer at 259 Newbury St. through an unlocked rear door, according to a 5:57 p.m. report. "Doesn't appear anything was taken at this time," an officer wrote later. Police didn't report finding the man.
Police received a 7:56 p.m. report that a 12-year-old boy "went out over an hour ago and has not returned home" to 128 Lowell St. Police subsequently determined that the son and his friend were at the Courthouse Pub and that an officer was "going to check if they are still there." The youths returned to their homes later.

Padres Seth Smith: The (Very) Poor Man's Paul Goldschmidt
The San Diego Padres acquired Seth Smith in a trade last winter. It wasn't a move that generated many headlines as Smith had just finished a season in which he hit .250 with just 8 home runs to go with well below average baserunning and poor defense. Luke Gregerson, the player that the Padres shipped to Oakland for Smith, is a good reliever, a solid 8th inning guy who has filled...

Let's Go Fly A Kite! Up Where the Air is Clear!
Theater and Music: A Leadville Friday Night!
One of the best things about summertime is all the great live entertainment! And tonight, Friday, June 27 is a great example of that.
Original Plays Performed by Local Actors – Tonight!
In the mood for some original, live FREE theater? Then head on over to St. George Church at 4th and Pine Streets. A local group of writers and thespians have come together to form "Leadville Theater." Tonight (June 27) will be there first presentation, consisting of An Evening of Short Plays. The show starts at 7 p.m. and admission is FREE.
The first play, "Vestiges," tells the story of lovers who are given one hour to finish a conversation left undone for 25 years. The work is written and directed by Leadville's Carol Bellhouse and stars Laurel McHarge and Curtis Imrie.
The second play is "Snow Scent," which tells the story of a man and woman who find a way to heal a wound from the past on a trip to the Colorado Rockies. This plays stars Donna Schaefer and Jeff Harlow and will be directed by Susan Fladager. This play was also written by Carol Bellhouse.
Live Music at The Scarlet in Downtown Lead Vegas!
After you're done with your theater fix, head east towards historic Harrison Avenue and you'll find some live music at The Scarlet on the corner of 4th & Harrison.
Treat yourself tonight to some live Soul, Rhythm and Blues by Johnny Rawls. And it sounds like Rawls has the street cred to back up some good jams.
He began playing professionally while still in high school with such stars as ZZ Hill, Little Johnny Taylor, Joe Tex and the Sweet Inspirations. In the mid-70's, Johnny went to work for OV Wright as Wright's band director. After Wright's death in 1980, Johnny led Little Johnny Taylor's band until 1985, when he began touring as a solo artist and made his first solo recording under the Rainbow label.
And tonight, the legendary Johnny Rawls will find himself on the corner of 4th & Harrison in downtown Leadville. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. and there's no cover. The performance will also feature Glen Sherill and members of local band Stonefed. Sounds like The Scarlet is where it is happening tonight in Lead Vegas!
Johnny Rawls Singing Some Down Home Rhythm and Blues:
Visiting Groups to Clean Cemeteries, Summit Elbert
The summer season is in full swing, which mean lots of visitors, and taking the back streets through town to avoid all the additional traffic. But welcome one and all, especially those groups doing something extra special while they are here in Leadville and Lake County.
Annual Jewish Cemetery Clean Up This Weekend
Leadville is known for its cemeteries. People actually come to town specifically to spend time walking or driving thru the Evergreen, Hebrew and St. Joseph Cemeteries.
This weekend will be no different. However, this group will also spend time cleaning up gravesides, as they've done every year since 1996.

Their weekend celebration will kick off Friday night, June 27 with a Kabbalat Shabbat and a kosher-style dairy pot luck at the Silver Dollar Campground at Turquoise Lake.
On Saturday, June 28 activities begin at 10 a.m. with a Shachrit service, followed by an oneg at Temple Israel (at the corner of 4th & Pine, 1 block west of Harrison Avenue). Rabbi Debra Rappaport, from B'nai Vail Congregation and Rabbi Eliot Baskin from Jewish Community Chaplaincy & Rafael Spiritual Healing Center of Jewish Family Service of Colorado will lead services.
During the early evening, the group will serve a non-dairy pot luck dinner and join the Community Meal at 5 p.m. served at St. George Episcopal Church (directly across the street from Temple Israel). Please bring canned goods to support the church's ongoing meals program. A communal Havdalah Ceremony will follow the pot luck.
Donations to B'nai B'rith Denver to help cover the food and clean up expenses would be greatly appreciated.
On Sunday, June 29, the muscle work begins with the annual clean up of the Leadville Hebrew Cemetery at 9 a.m. Free breakfast will be available for early volunteers. The group's goal this year is the general clean up of the grounds, which will include cutting weeds, pruning tree branches, cemetery picket fence painting, and sprucing up soiled grave markers.
A graveside memorial service honoring those early Jewish pioneers buried in the Leadville Hebrew Cemetery will be conducted at 11 a.m. Each year the service is held around a different grave site that has been researched regarding the history of the deceased.
Following the memorial service, B'nai B'rith will provide a kosher lunch to thank all volunteers for their hard work and devotion to this annual mitzvah.
Clean up will continue throughout Sunday until approximately 4 p.m.
Starting in 1995, B'nai B'rith Denver has partnered with the Temple Israel Foundation to restore the cemetery after decades of neglect. The cemetery was re-consecrated in August 1999 and is currently accepting new interments. The partnership has remained and annual volunteer clean ups have been continued every summer.
Here's a great video about the Leadville Jewish Cemetery Clean Up
Reaching the Top of Elbert for Fallen Heroes!
Is summiting one of Colorado's 14ers one of your summer goals? Well, consider joining Cops on Top for their Mt. Elbert ascent this Saturday, June 28 to honor of the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. Every year on the last Saturday in June, Cops on Top teams from across the country set out to summit their state's highest point. Last year, a team of 23 volunteers summited Mt. Elbert and they are looking for others interested in joining them this year.
Cops on Top has a mission of never forgetting the life, memory and sacrifice of our nation's law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. Whether the team is attempting to climb the tallest mountain or hike the highest hill, each team member carries with them the memory of the tremendous sacrifice the officers made to protect and serve that State. Certainly something to remember with memorial Day just around the corner. Thank you to all law enforcement, but especially the Leadville/Lake County officers for keeping the community safe.
Governor's Summer Job Hunt for Youth Underway
Ah, that summer job of your youth. What was yours? Cutting grass? Bussing tables at the local restaurant? Babysitting? No matter what it was, someone probably helped you get that job. And now Colorado's Gov. John Hickenlooper can lend a hand as well.
Each year, Colorado's longest running and most successful youth employment program helps tens of thousands of young people prepare for the uncharted territory of a first summer job. Since 1981, the Governor's Summer Job Hunt program has connected high school and college students with Colorado employers willing to give them a chance to learn, put skills to use and see firsthand how a business operates.
"The program has a proven track record," says Department of Labor and Employment Executive Director Ellen Golombek. "The Governor's Summer Job Hunt has assisted more than half a million teens in the last three decades and this summer, professionals at our Frisco Workforce Center are ready to work with another generation of young job seekers.
As much as it is an employment program, with a wealth of job openings geared toward youth, the Governor's Summer Job Hunt is also a training program. Workforce Center staff know that getting a summer job takes initiative but getting the job is only half the story. There are a lot of things a young person needs to learn in order to be successful and the Leadville Workforce Center provides assistance in résumé writing, interviewing skills and job search strategies to help young people gain a competitive edge in their job hunt. The Workforce Center's commitment is to teach the youngest job seekers how to be successful, how to establish a solid work ethic and how to build the groundwork to their future careers.
For young people who are comfortable in marketing themselves to employers or want to do a self-directed job search, Workforce Centers offer an online job bank called Connecting Colorado (www.connectingcolorado.com). Registration at the website is quick and easy to use and Connecting Colorado has a listing of job opportunities for all job seekers including those who are making their first foray into the job market.
For teens who would like some help in their job search and for employers who would like more information about the Governor's Summer Job Hunt, the Leadville Workforce Center is located at 115 6th St and can be reached at 719-486-2428.
Tabor Grand Hotel Undergoes $7 Million Renovation
By Kathy Bedell © Leadville Today
"Wowser, looks like they're serious this time!" That was one of the comments made when this picture of the Tabor Grand Hotel's renovation project was posted on the Leadville Today Facebook page.
Yes, they are serious. And while the Tabor Grand Hotel's history is well-known, it's present-day condition is even harder to miss, once you turn the corner onto Harrison Avenue. The scaffold-encased, historic beauty is undergoing a $7 million renovation. So, yes they are serious!
So who exactly are "they"? The Overland Property Group (OPG) out of Kansas City, Kan. bought the property in mid-Match of this year, after hearing that the historic gem was for sale, and in need of major renovation work.
"We came into the conversation in December of last year," said Matt Gillam, OPG's Vice President of Development. "But the opportunity to own and work on such a project was hard to pass up."
And so far, most locals would agree that the new owners are the right people for the job.
The Tabor Grand's last renovation was completed back in 1992. But for those who've been around long enough to remember, a lot of that work was a band-aid fix for what is considered to be one of Leadville's crowning gems on historic Harrison Avenue.
And in recent years, the old gal was looking a bit worse for the wear, deteriorating one brick at a time, out onto the sidewalk at an ever-increasing rate, and danger to the public.
"Our intention is to thoughtfully preserve the building. To have the renovation done correctly," stated Gillam, adding that this method would ensure another 50-70 years of life for the building.
The plan is extensive and includes a complete interior and exterior renovation of the building, nuts to bolts. On the exterior, that will include installing a new roof, sealing the brick, restoring all of the unique cornices, and bringing all those windows back to their original state, including the old ropes used to open and close them. Unfortunately, not a lot of the window panes are original, so OPG is working with the historic commission and a specialized window refurbisher to get double paned, energy effiecient windows milled into the current shape. And yes, the "Baby Doe Box" window will remain!
On the interior, it's a complete overhaul for the 37 residential, one and two bedroom units. At present, work is already underway on the 6 top floor units. This includes all new appliances, tile, cabinets, paint, all of it! The OPG kept tenants in mind when developing the plan. In fact, 31 of the 37 residential units are still occupied. The plan is that once the top floor units are complete, some of the tenants will move up to those units, vacating the next round of interior work for the apartments.
"We worked hard in not having to displace any tenants during renovation," said Gillam. And the low-income housing qualifications will remain in place for residential tenants as well.
So what about the street-level commercial tenants, who seem to be encased in scaffolding and signage these days?
"They all plan on staying on," said Gillam. However, the renovation does not include the interior to commercial spaces, that's up to each business, although several are considering a remodel.
Some of that interior commercial space will be the leasing office for Overland Property Group, including a new community lounge room.
"We are trying to make that space as historically relevant as possible, "explained Gillam. "We feel like we're stewards to this building and want to remain true to the time period the building represents."
One of the things that won't be changing is the property managers, Terrence and Deb McNicholas. "They are great people, so we're excited that they are going to stay on with us," added Gillam.
So what's the timeline from here? Obviously, weather is a primary concern. The roof is currently being replaced. Next is the brick and cornice work. The public can expect to see the scaffolding remain in place until Oct/Nov, or once the exterior work is complete.
And remember, you can keep up with the progress yourself from OPG's webcam, pointed directly at the Tabor Grand Hotel from the roof of the Manhattan Bar across the street.
It is actually two cameras, the live web cam and a time-lapse camera, which takes a picture of the project every 15 minutes. The end result will be one of those high-tech, time-lapse videos of construction from beginning to end. Leadville Today will bring that to readers when it's available.
"Our goal is to be completely done by the end of this year," concluded Gillam. "We want to make sure that the renovation that is done this time, preserves that building, which is such a dominate piece of history, not only for Leadville, but the entire state of Colorado. Once the project is complete, we believe, that it should win national awards and continue to be a pride for Leadville and Colorado."
It's good to know that historic Harrison Avenue will see one of its Grande Dames of architecture made over, just in time for her 130th Birthday. It's time to party like it's 1885!

Celebrate the Red, White & Blue on Harrison Avenue!
Even though Flag Day isn't officially until this Saturday, June 14, the replacement of a Harrison Ave. flag will hopefully inspire people to get out Old Glory and wave her proudly. It's time to celebrate the red, white and blue!
Leadville Today readers may remember last September's story (LINK) about the new flag hoisted up the 50 foot flag pole atop the Tabor Opera House in historic downtown Leadville. The new 10 x 15 foot banner was hard to miss and created a renewed sense of patriotism on main street.
Unfortunately, Old Glory met up with Old Man Winter this year, and the huge flag was a bit worse for the wear by spring.
"Sad news!" reported Tabor Opera House owner Sharon Bland on the venue's Facebook page on April 28. "Our huge and beautiful flag fought through the winter, but March and April came in like a lion with winds that broke the cable."
However, with feet of snow on the roof, it would be a while until the helpers were able to get to the pole for repairs. The flag had to be removed and replaced but first the tangled cable wire had to be straightened out.
Finally, last Saturday, June 7 a core group of citizens rallied once again and got the job done. And it was the Leadville/Lake County Fire Department to the rescue for the most delicate part of the task. The fire rescue team turned the repair into a training exercise, extending their ladder truck to its very end to reach the top of the flag pole.
"We couldn't have done it without them," explained Tabor Opera House owner Bill Bland. "No one else could have reached the top of the flag pole to get the cable untangled."
Great job! The Thank You list also includes – among others – Leadville VFW Post No. 859 – who donated the flag, Donny and Deb Miller, Sharon and Bill Bland, Heather Kovalaski, Manager at True Value – who donated the new cable. and of course, the Leadville/Lake County Fire Rescue. Three cheers for the red, white & blue!

Sew, A Needle Pulling Thread! Happy 20th Melly!
By Kendra Kurihara, Melanzana
Amazing! It's been 20 years since Fritz Howard moved to Leadville with two sewing machines in the back of his two-wheel-drive Nissan pick up. He soon found an office upstairs in the Bank Annex building on East 5th Street.
We were called "Eggplant" back then, and there was no Polartec fleece to be seen anywhere. Our earliest products were GORE-TEX gaiters, overmitts and custom bibs for climbing and skiing. Since those dreamy days in 1994, Melanzana has slowly and cautiously evolved into a downtown Leadville institution.
On Saturday May 31 we will celebrate those 20 long years, and thank our local customers and downtown community for their support!
Join us between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a community-wide downtown sidewalk sale (look for the balloons), free Lions Club hot dogs, groovy acoustic music by Local Honey, and a gigantic pile of half-price Micro Grid Hoodies.
Wear your oldest Melanzanas for the Vintage Melly Contest, take a factory tour, and check out our Melanzana History display. Cool! And THANK YOU to everyone that has ever supported us in any way, we could not have made it this far without Leadville's wonderful community.
Local Memorial Day Services Well-Attended
Memorial Day Services were held at the Tenth Mountain Division Monument at Tennessee Pass and the Lake County Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day, May 26. Both services were well attended, with a standing room only crowd.
It was commemoration #55 of "Remembering Our Fallen Comrades" as Tommy Thompson with the Tenth Mountain Division Foundation directed the program as the Master of Ceremony. The keynote address was given by Lt. General Benjamin Freakley, a former Commanding General, 10th Mtn. Division. It was an all-round community event, including the Lake County High School Band playing some patriotic music under the direction of Jonathan Cole.
The ceremony also made note of the recent bill (HB-1089) signed into law by Governor John Hickenlooper in Leadville concerning the Tenth Mountain Division commemorative license plate (see story) . The ceremony was concluded with a 21-Round rifle salute and the retiring of colors. Visitors enjoyed a nice BBQ lunch at the Lodge at Ski Cooper afterward. It was a beautiful day for the service.
Just a couple hours later, a second ceremony in Lake County commemorating Fallen Heroes was taking place on Highway 91, and eventually at the Veteran Memorial at Evergreen Cemetery.
The 3rd Annual "Killed In Action Recognition Ride" along Fallen Heroes Memorial Highway (91) saw 26 riders this year. No doubt, the snow on Saturday and Sunday might have scared a few people away, however those that rode in honor of military killed in action were treated to an awesome bluebird Colorado day.
Motorcyclists rode into the Lake County Veterans Memorial joining a good crowd of community members for the official ceremony, emceed by Leadville Mayor Jaime Stuever. The program included speeches USMC Staff Sergeant Joshua M. Buck, Leadville Judge Neil Reynolds, and Justin Van Natta, who served with Nick Palmer in Iraq.
The new names etched on the Veterans Memorial were revealed and the Laying of the Wreaths by the Elks Lodge #236 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars 2 Mile High Post # 859, rounded out the service. There was a reception at the Elks Lodge after the ceremony.
Widow Left Behind from Fire Needs Help
This one's a real heart-breaker, so be advised. But Leadvillites always pull together to help out their neighbors!
Many LT readers may remember the May 15 fire at the Lake Fork Mobile Home Park south of Leadville. If not, here's the LINK to the original story.Well tragically, it turns out that this was the home of Dale & Jeanine Bowers, described as a "dear elderly Leadville couple," on the First Baptist Church of Leadville's Facebook Page. In the initial report from the Lake County Office of Emergency Management, it was stated that a male was removed from the smoke-filled unit and eventually transported to the St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco in serious condition. The following update was posted on the Church's page, including a crowd source funding link where people may contribute to the deceased's services as well as his widow's dire situation:
Hello church & community folks. Just over a week ago, a dear elderly Leadville couple, Dale & Jeanine Bowers were struck with a tragedy as their home was destroyed by fire. After being rescued and resuscitated, Dale passed from this world to the next last Saturday, and Jeanine is now left with virtually no resources. We are praying that God would provide the funds for Jeanine to properly say goodbye to her husband and find a new place to live. FBCL will be doing what we can to continue to love this lady and help her to carry the burden that she now has. If you'd like to help, feel free to designate a gift for her at the church on Sunday and/or give through Paypal through the following link that a lady in the church has set up: LINK.
Dr. Wayne Callen to Retire, Effective July 2014
After thirty five years providing family medicine in Leadville, Wayne Callen, MD will retire on July 11, 2014.
Dr. Callen came to Leadville in 1978 to be employed with a medical group which included Dr. Kehoe and Dr. Philbin. In a short time he joined their practice and has been a dedicated health care professional in Leadville and Lake County ever since.
Callen was as passionate then as he is now about rural medicine. In the late 70's rural family doctors were involved in a broader spectrum of care then they are today. It was an exciting time for a new doctor.
"It is rare these days that a physician cares for generations of family members. Caring for the children and grandchildren of my initial patients has been very rewarding," said Dr. Callen.
Currently Gary Petry, MD and Jackie Duba MPH, PA offer family medicine at the SVH Leadville Medical Clinic and will continue to do so. The hospital does plan to add an additional provider to the clinic medical staff in the near future.
"Everyone comes to retirement age at some point. And though I truly value my patients, the family practice, St. Vincent Hospital staff and my time spent here, it is my time to retire," remarked Callen "My immediate plans are to travel overseas extensively and find some palm trees in the warmth of the sun."
Peggy Frank, SVH Leadville Medical Clinic Director is available to answer any patient questions at 719-486-1264. Frank stated that "Doctor Callen will surely be missed, it is my goal to carry on his commitment and dedication to patient care."
LCHS Lions Career Fair To Be Held This Thursday
This Thursday, April 24 over 500 students will get a chance to talk with invited professionals from a wide array of occupations at the 16th Annual Lake County High School/Leadville Lions Club Annual Career Fair.
"This year, students can look forward to speaking with an Astronaut as well as a Professional Sports Agent," said Carol Glenn, the Career Fair Chairman. "And of course, all of our Lake County business people will be sharing their career advice as well. We're grateful for the strong support this event receives from the Leadville community; it's incredible."
The Fair begins at 8 a.m. at Lake County High School and is offered to LCHS students as well as students from surrounding high schools and Lake County Middle School students. The format allows students to spend approximately 50 minutes in their areas of interest where they can interact with a variety of presenters and get a chance to ask questions. Over 90 presenters are expected to attend. The Career Fair presentations will be done not only by business people from Lake County and surrounding areas but also by professionals from other parts of the state.
"The point is to give students as many chances to ask questions and explore possibilities in a healthy and safe environment," said Bob Deister, a community volunteer for the Career Fair. "And, we hope that by exposing the students to a new range of choices and dreams, they will also bring new questions and focus to their current education."
One of the changes that presenters can expect deals with parking logistics as a result of the renovation underway at the high school. Since space is already at a premium under present construction conditions, Career Fair organizers will be shuttling presenters to nearby parking at the Community Field as well as the Presbyterian Church. Presenters will be allowed to drop off supplies at the back doors of the gym as usual, but then will be asked to park off-site at the two nearby locations where they can pick up a shuttle bus back to the high school.
The Lions Club and the School to Career Partnership have designed the Career Fair to be part of an overall effort to expose students to career options and to raise their aspirations.
Colo. Scenic & Historic Byways Celebrate 25 Years!
No doubt, you've seen the signs. For most local commuters, their relevancy flies by like the many other roadside signs declaring highway memorials or cleanup crews. But this year, Colorado's Scenic and Historic Byways program is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It has arguably earned a "pull over and check it out" status, even for locals.
Besides, those little "Top Of The Rockies Scenic Byway" signs literally bring thousands of travelers into and through Leadville and Lake County, hopefully spending some money along the way.
It all started back in 1989, when Colorado began the Scenic and Historic Byways program to promote the state's exceptional travel opportunities. This month, March 2014, actually marks 25 years for the program, an anniversary recently marked by Governor John Hickenlooper signing the proclamation last week at the State Capitol.
In fact, eleven of Colorado's 25 byways are designated by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation as America's Byways®, which gives Colorado more national designations than any other state. All of these scenic highway routes have names highlighting their unique attributes and sights. For Leadville and Lake County it's Top of the Rockies. That designation was established in 1998 by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation making it one of the eleven America's Byways® designated in Colorado.
So be sure to take notice of these highway markers and enjoy your ride on the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway.

Few cities are better for watching major league baseball than sunny San Diego, and few games this season will be better than this contest between the Padres and pennant contenders the Los Angeles Dodgers. Padres slugger Seth Smith and the team's steadily improving pitching staff will have their hands full with a powerhouse Dodgers lineup that sports such dangerous hitters as Yasiel Puig and Adrian Gonzalez. With its spectacular sightlines and stunning views of the San Diego cityscape, no summer is complete without taking in a thrilling ballgame at Petco Park. Learn More

Good deal on the seats. And that is not just because the Padres won.
Now, if Goldstar could just do something about the cost of food at Petco, my family would go more often.

I hate having to sit at an angle. I have tickets to two more games and then that's it for the Section.

The seats were great and we had a wonderful time. It was a close game, but the Padres won!
In the opening series of 2008, the San Diego Padres host the Houston Astros. The Padres, possessors of one of baseball's best pitching staffs, look to come out victorious in the National League West, a division that last year saw one of baseball's closest playoff races.
