CTU Annual Report
Colorado Trout Unlimited Annual Report
Colorado Trout Unlimited Year in Review 2010 Colorado TU Colorado TU State Council Officers Sinjin Eberle, President Rick Matsumoto, Vice-President Randy Kittelson, Secretary Jay Boak, Treasurer Ken Neubecker, Past President Year In Review Colorado's beautiful streams, striking prairie vistas, and stunningly majestic mountains are special places because they inspire us to do special things. Kids remember their first night camping under the stars. Young adults remember biking the same trails they were cross-country skiing on just a few months earlier. Grandparents remember the river where they taught their grand kids how to fish. Many of these places are threatened by irresponsible land development, oil and gas drilling, and water use. For over 40 years, Colorado Trout Unlimited has been working to conserve, protect, and restore Colorado's rivers and their watersheds. But for as long as we have been at it, and as strong and smart as we may be, the job of protecting Colorado's rivers is bigger than one organization can handle � the threats are too real, the magnitude is too great. That is why the partnership and collaboration that we enjoy, especially within the realm of Trout Unlimited, is so vital to our success. I sometimes think of local rivers as a three-legged stool. The river itself is the seat, supported by three legs, with the community, the economy of the area, and the volunteers who tend to the stream's health each comprising a leg of the stool. If any one of those legs is not standing strong, the stool, and by extension the river, loses its support and tumbles. One could think of Trout Unlimited in Colorado in the same way � we have a strong local grassroots community with 23 chapters and nearly 10,000 members statewide, a vibrant and increasingly active state council, and the most National TU staffers working on the ground in any state outside of Washington, D.C. It's the willingness of these three legs of the organization to join hands and work together that makes Colorado so effective and our reach and respect so broad. Collaborations like the Gunnison Gorge Anglers (among others) working with the Alpine Triangle Campaign, or the Colorado River Headwaters Chapter working hand-in-hand with Colorado TU and the Colorado Water Project to defend the Fraser and the Upper Colorado Rivers. Or the multi-dimensional efforts revving up in the White and Yampa River Basins, where state, local, and National TU are working together on energy, private land, and river reconnection projects, and has led to a new chapter in the Steamboat Springs area. These are just a few examples of something that seems so basic...working together. Between the energy and involvement of the chapters, the savvy and experience of the state council, and the expertise and dedication of National TU staff, Colorado TU has had a banner year in terms of the number of accomplishments, the rise in member involvement, and the strategic importance of the successes. As you read this year's Annual Report, I hope you feel some pride in being a part of this success, because it certainly does not happen without you. But we are not content. There is much to do and the challenges that we face in 2011 are significant � the Upper Colorado Campaign will come to a head, litigation in defense of the Roan Plateau likely will be decided, the Roadless Rule will probably be completed, and the Over The River project's fate will be determined. All of these issues are being directed by a strong, smart, and collaborative group of people, in Colorado, working for Colorado. Because at the end of the day, wherever you might be, we are all Colorado TU. Sinjin Eberle President Colorado Trout Unlimited 2010 Year In Review | Mission & Vision Colorado Trout Unlimited works to conserve, protect, and restore Colorado's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Through cooperation, collaboration, grassroots advocacy, and education Trout Unlimited seeks to ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive across Colorado, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters. Colorado TU State Council Staff & Contractors David Nickum, Executive Director Erica Stock, Outreach Director John Gamble, Administrative Assistant Jen Boulton, Legislative Liaison Dr. John Woodling, Water Quality Consultant Nick Hoover, Web Development and Design Consultant TU Western Water Project Staff Drew Peternell, Colorado Water Project Director Rob Firth, Colorado River Headwaters Project Coordinator Brian Hodge, Yampa/White River Basin Project Coordinator Cary Denison, Gunnison River Basin Coordinator Mely Whiting, Legal Counsel David Stillwell, Office and Internal Communications Manager Randy Scholfield, Communications Director John Gerstle, Technical Advisor TU Sportsmen's Conservation Project Staff Steve Kandell, Sportsmen's Conservation Project Director Aaron Kindle, Colorado Field Coordinator Ty Churchwell, Backcountry Coordinator, Alpine Triangle Matthew Clark, Backcountry Coordinator, Dolores River Basin Greg Moore, Communications Specialist Shane Cross, Western Energy Counsel TU Watershed Restoration Staff Elizabeth Russell, Mine Restoration Project Manager Colorado TU Land Protection Staff Chris Herrman, Colorado Plateau Land Protection Coordinator 2| 3 Our Vision A Strategic Approach To Coldwater Fisheries Conservation Founded in 1969, Colorado TU is Colorado's leading nonprofit, grassroots sportsmen's conservation organization providing a voice for Colorado's rivers. Colorado TU leverages the power of its 10,000 members from 23 chapters who contribute over 55,000 volunteer hours annually to restoration, education, and advocacy, equivalent to the power of 26 full-time staff. 1 Alpine Anglers � Estes Park 2 Boulder Flycasters � Boulder 3 Cherry Creek Anglers � Aurora 4 Cheyenne Mountain � Colorado Springs Colorado TU Chapters Our Vision is Simple � by the next generation, Colorado TU will ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive throughout Colorado, so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters. 23 1 6 18 Colorado TU's Coldwater Conservation Strategy Protect high quality habitat for native and wild coldwater fish and maintain free flowing rivers; 2 21 8 3 7 9 13 10 22 Reconnect fragmented fish populations and habitats by restoring flows to dewatered rivers and re-opening fish passage; 14 11 4 16 15 5 20 Restore watersheds by working in collaboration with sportsmen and women, other non-profit and governmental organizations, as well as private landowners, to preserve and improve the quality of habitats that support coldwater fish; and Sustain the efforts of our volunteers and supporters by inspiring a strong conservation ethic in the next generation of river stewards through hands-on, field-based opportunities that foster awareness of the connections between Colorado's trout, water resources, and the environment. 12 19 17 13 Gore Range � Summit County 14 Grand Valley Anglers � Grand Junction 15 Gunnison Angling Society � Gunnison 16 Gunnison Gorge Anglers � Delta/Montrose 17 Purgatoire River Anglers � Trinidad 18 Rocky Mountain Flycasters � Fort Collins/Greeley 19 San Luis Valley � Alamosa 20 Southern Colorado Greenbacks � Pueblo 21 St. Vrain Anglers � Longmont 22 West Denver � Lakewood 23 Yampa Valley Flyfishers � Steamboat 5 Collegiate Peaks Anglers � Salida/Buena Vista 6 Colorado River Headwaters � Grand County 7 Cutthroat � Littleton 8 Denver � Denver 9 Eagle Valley � Eagle 10 Evergreen � Evergreen 11 Ferdinand Hayden � Aspen/Glenwood Springs 12 Five Rivers � Durango/Cortez 4| Colorado Trout Unlimited 2010 Year In Review | 5 River Protection Program Overview Many rivers and streams in Colorado are heavily depleted and lack the flows necessary to sustain healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Trout Unlimited believes that we can both meet our water needs and sustain healthy river ecosystems, but to do so we must strike a balance between development and protection. To this end, Trout Unlimited advocates for sensible policies that keep water in Colorado's rivers, while ensuring a reliable water supply to farms, ranches, homes, and businesses across our state. Keep The Colorado River Headwaters Alive For the past 5 years, Colorado TU and our grassroots chapters across the state have worked tirelessly to protect the Colorado River Headwaters from two proposed water supply projects � the Moffat and the Windy Gap Firming Projects. These projects collectively threaten to reduce river flows to less than a quarter of their historic levels, leaving in limbo the future health of the fish, wildlife and local West Slope communities that depend on the Upper Colorado River and tributaries like the Fraser River. Through on-the-ground grassroots leadership provided by Colorado TU's Colorado River Headwaters Chapter and with technical support provided by Colorado TU staff and partners, hundreds of concerned West Slope and Front Range residents mobilized to express their concerns about the potential effects of both projects on the Fraser and Colorado Rivers. Through passionate testimony at over 6 public meetings and thousands of personal letters and emails to federal agencies, Colorado Wildlife Commissioners, and water providers, Coloradoans across the state demanded adequate protections and mitigation measures to ensure their children and grandchildren can continue enjoying the bounty and recreation opportunities provided by a healthy Colorado River. As the final mitigation plans and permit requirements for each project are reviewed by state and federal agencies, the focus throughout 2011 will be to continue educating and mobilizing concerned citizens in support of measures to strike a balance between meeting water supply needs and protecting the health of the Colorado River. Colorado TU will also work directly with state and federal agencies, Wildlife Commissioners and water providers to advocate for specific, science-based solutions and mitigation measures that can preserve trout populations and the fragile ecosystems found throughout the Colorado River Headwaters. Colorado TU released a new video, "Tapped Out: The Upper Colorado on the Brink," which highlights the damage inflicted on the Fraser and Upper Colorado River system by past diversions and the serious threats posed by expansions of those water systems. See the video and Upper Colorado River campaign page at www.defendthecolorado.org Dry Gulch Victory TU scored a major victory in 2010, negotiating a final settlement in a multi-year controversy over the proposed Dry Gulch Reservoir and Pumping Station project near Pagosa Springs. The reservoir and diversion project threatened San Juan River flows and prized trout habitat, and for many years TU had argued that the Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District and the San Juan Water Conservancy District were claiming far more water for the project than any legitimate future need for Archuleta County and the Pagosa Springs community. TU twice appealed a water court's decision to award water rights for the project, arguing that the water districts were improperly speculating in their predictions Photo by San Juan Citizens Alliance of population growth. In both instances, the Colorado Supreme Court sided with TU and denied the water rights for the project. In December 2010, TU struck a deal with the Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District and the San Juan Water Conservancy District. Under the agreement, the Dry Gulch project would be dramatically downsized, and the districts would divert from the San Juan River less than a tenth of the amount of water they originally proposed. "This is a victory for the San Juan River," Drew Peternell, director of TU's Colorado Water Project, said after the settlement was reached. "The original application could have been devastating to fish habitat and the river ecosystem, but now we have a settlement that balances the districts' need for water with the health of the San Juan." Notes From The Field Rob Firth, Colorado River Headwaters Project Coordinator, Trout Unlimited "To have witnessed the decline of the Upper Colorado River has been eye-opening and disheartening. When the opportunity to join TU in the fight to protect this river presented itself � I jumped at the chance! With TU staff and the local Headwaters Chapter devoting so much time and energy into protecting the Upper Colorado, I know that this magnificent fishery will be restored once again." New River Protection Staff Hired Colorado TU expanded its on-the-ground stream restoration work in Colorado by hiring three new field-based staff through the Colorado Water Project: Brian Hodge (pictured) in the Yampa/White River Basin, Rob Firth in the Upper Colorado River Basin, and Cary Denison in the Gunnison Basin. They will collaborate with private landowners, agency staff and local Colorado TU chapters on projects to protect, reconnect, and restore streams and implement agreements with irrigators that benefit both agricultural operations and trout habitat. Protecting The Roaring Fork River From Hydroelectric Development The Ferdinand Hayden Chapter began working with local stakeholders to ensure a newly proposed hydroelectric project is completed responsibly � without dewatering two important tributaries of the Roaring Fork River, Castle and Maroon Creeks. As proposed by the City of Aspen, the project threatens to drastically cut flows creating concerns for trout and other recreational users. Ensuring Responsible Expansion Of The Halligan-Seaman Reservoirs Colorado TU staff and volunteers from the Rocky Mountain Flycasters TU Chapter continued to participate in the "Shared Vision Planning" process for the proposed expansions of Halligan and Seaman Reservoirs in the Cache la Poudre watershed. "Shared Vision Planning" is a new collaborative approach to water development in which environmental interests are brought in from the beginning, seeking ways in which a project can provide not only water supply but also environmental and recreational benefits.

To ensure healthy rivers and watersheds are sustained for future generations, Trout Unlimited's Youth Conservation Education Program focuses on cultivating a strong, life-long conservation ethic in Colorado's young people by providing handson, field-based opportunities that foster awareness of the connections between Colorado's trout, water resources, the environment, and themselves. Energy Balancing Energy Development On The Roan Plateau Colorado TU and other conservation partners, represented by pro-bono counsel Earthjuistice, continued to challenge an ill-conceived plan for oil and gas development atop the Roan Plateau that lacks appropriate measures to protect the Roan's unique wildlife habitat and native cutthroat trout populations. After extensive efforts to seek settlement, talks ultimately broke down and the case now awaits a final ruling from the Federal District Court. Fortunately, leases on the Roan remain suspended so that drilling cannot begin while the case proceeds. Colorado TU will continue to advocate for a more responsible approach to developing the Roan, in which greater use of directional drilling allows extraction of natural gas without disturbing sensitive watersheds and the unique native Colorado River Cutthroat trout fisheries they support. Youth Conservation Fly Fishing Camps With support from local chapters, students ages 14-18 from across Colorado participated in Colorado TU's Annual River Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp at Beaver Run Ranch in Aspen, Colorado. From snorkel surveys to water quality sampling, campers were instructed on the principles of ecology and the importance of coldwater conservation while also learning the basics of fly fishing. The Rocky Mountain Flycasters TU Chapter held its first annual week-long summer day camp for youth. Chapter volunteers taught campers basic casting and fly-tying techniques and local resource managers provided a variety of hands-on conservation lessons through a special field restoration project, electro-fishing, snorkel surveying, and workshops on a variety of topics from entomology to invasive species. Program Overview Over the past century, traditional oil, gas, and coal extraction has taken a toll on Colorado's rivers, wildlife, and landscapes. Today, with one of the largest oil shale reserves in the world, Colorado remains a hotbed for oil and gas exploration and development. Even as our state moves toward more renewable sources of energy like wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal, threats to native trout ecosystems remain. Colorado TU works with energy development companies, state and federal agencies, elected officials, and local stakeholder groups to advocate for balanced energy solutions � those that allow Colorado to meet its energy needs while protecting native fish, irreplaceable river ecosystems and human health. Advocating For "Low Impact" Hydropower Colorado TU has continued to encourage low-impact approaches to developing hydroelectric power. Built and operated appropriately, hydropower can maintain healthy, connected river systems while generating renewable energy � but poorly designed and operated hydropower facilities can dewater rivers and decimate fisheries. Working with the Governor's Energy Office (GEO), Colorado TU has encouraged programs which take advantage of existing water facilities to generate hydropower � allowing increased energy production without adding additional impacts to Colorado's streams. The GEO recently established a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the federal agency which issues hydropower licenses), to help ease the process for permitting small, low-impact hydropower generation on existing water infrastructure such as pipelines and ditches. Trout In The Classroom Through the Trout in the Classroom program, students attending participating schools raise trout from eggs to fry, engage in water quality and habitat studies, and release their trout into state-approved waters near their school. In its 2nd year, Trout in the Classroom launched four new program sites at Woodland Park High School, Bayfield Middle School, Windsor High School, and Centaurus High School. Students from the existing Trout in the Classroom program at Thompson Valley High School released their first trout during the spring of 2010. Colorado TU's 23 chapters statewide volunteer regularly with youth. They conduct fly fishing workshops, field days and in-school programs to teach students about their home watersheds. Promoting Responsible Oil & Gas Development Colorado TU successfully prevented several oil and gas lease sales near critical Colorado River Cutthroat Trout streams including parcels within the roadless backcountry of both the Routt and White River National Forests. Colorado TU mobilized its grassroots membership in support of federal legislation like the Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources Act (CLEAR Act) that encouraged responsible energy development in Colorado and throughout the nation while protecting our rivers, lakes and waterways from pollution. The CLEAR Act also called for full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund which provides financial support to help maintain important national, state and local parks and publicly accessible rivers. Colorado TU began building a coalition in the White River Basin to create a Sportsmen's vision for energy development that safeguards fish and wildlife. Notes from the Field and Colorado TU Chapter Development Committee Chairman Dennis Cook, Rocky Mountain Flycasters Chapter Member "I like helping young people learn to enjoy the outdoors and fly fishing as much as I do, and to see nature as a lifelong interest. Today there are so many distractions that they too rarely experience these pleasures. If we don't help our youth appreciate and respect the natural outdoors, who will take care of our rivers in the years ahead?" Energy Photos by E. Jerome Ryden 8| Colorado Trout Unlimited 2010 Year In Review | 9 Native Trout Program Overview Colorado was once home to four native subspecies of cutthroat trout, but years of habitat decline, overfishing, and competition and interbreeding with introduced species have led to the extinction of the Yellowfin cutthroat and have left the other natives � Greenback, Colorado River, and Rio Grande cutthroats � at serious risk. Through partnership projects to reclaim and improve habitats and reintroduce native fish to appropriate waters, Colorado TU is helping to secure a future for these original Coloradoans. Public Lands Mobilize Citizen Support For Roadless Protection Roadless areas provide some of the best places to hunt and fish throughout the west. To protect these important places, Colorado TU works with diverse groups of recreationists, sportsmen, private industry, local communities, and government agencies to identify places where development and vehicle use is appropriate, and places where such activity can harm fish and wildlife. Colorado TU worked in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to help implement the Legacy Roads and Trails Program, which is intended to reduce road and trail impacts to watersheds and aquatic ecosystems by decommissioning unneeded roads, removing fish passage barriers, and addressing critical repair and maintenance needs. Colorado TU continues to mobilize citizens and work with resource managers and elected representatives to help secure major improvements in the management of Colorado's roadless areas through the state's Roadless Rule. Using Science To Restore Native Trout Trouble distinguishing the genetic differences between two of Colorado's closely related native trout species - Colorado River cutthroat and Greenback cutthroat - and difficulty determining their native ranges have slowed restoration efforts to a standstill. To help solve these mysteries, Colorado TU and the Cheyenne Mountain TU Chapter have contributed to an interagency partnership study that includes the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Division of Wildlife, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife conducted through the University of Colorado that is examining historic samples � some over 100 years old � to determine the genetic strains that were found in Colorado before other trout stocking took place. Information from the study will help define what fish are appropriate to use for restoration projects in watersheds on both sides of the Continental Divide. Program Overview Headwaters streams and intact wilderness areas on public lands are quite literally the last refuges for many native trout. They sustain rare fish populations, while providing a reliable source of cold, clean water to our rivers, a function that becomes even more important during periods of warming. TU field staff, Colorado TU and local TU Raising Awareness For Colorado's Native Trout Young Colorado TU members launched a group called `The Greenbacks' to raise awareness and funding for native trout restoration in Colorado. To date, the group has hosted two successful events � a film festival and photography exhibit � raising nearly $10,000 for native fish conservation and engaging hundreds of young people in Colorado TU's work. Protecting The Headwaters Of Gold Medal Fisheries Situated at the headwaters of three trophy trout rivers � the Animas, Lake Fork of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre � the 186,000 acre Alpine Triangle is one of Colorado's most important economic, historic and recreational resources. As a founding member of the Alpine Triangle Coalition, Colorado TU is working side-by-side with sportsmen and women, local communities, federal agencies, local business owners, and other recreation users on a collaborative effort to protect the heart of the San Juan Mountains for the benefit of future generations. The Alpine Triangle Coalition is comprised of nearly 2,000 members and is supported by approximately 40 local and regional businesses. To raise awareness for the importance of continued protections for the Alpine Triangle, Colorado TU staff worked with Field and Stream magazine to produce a feature article included in the publication's "Best Wild Places" series. A new website www.alpinetriangle.com and facebook group "Friends of the Alpine Triangle" were launched to serve as a clearinghouse for information related to the Alpine Triangle Coalition. Restoring Native Trout Habitat In The Poudre River Headwaters Colorado TU continued its effort toward a collaborative project in the Poudre headwaters with Northern Colorado irrigators (Water Supply and Storage Company � WSSC), state agencies, and local governments. The proposed partnership would work to restore native trout across nearly 40 miles of connected streams in Rocky Notes From The Field Mountain National Park and adjacent Nick Hoover, Co-Founder of The National Forest lands � the largest such Greenbacks & Cutthroat TU Chapter member project in Colorado history. Trapper Creek/Parachute Creek Projects On Roan Combining financial support from energy companies, the national TU Embrace-a-Stream program, and volunteer manpower from the Grand Valley Anglers Chapter - Colorado TU helped plant hundreds of new willows along Trapper Creek on the Roan Plateau. Trapper Creek supports a rare population of pure Colorado River cutthroat trout; recent fencing along the stream protects it from grazing livestock and allows for restoration of a healthier riparian environment. "The Greenbacks were formed to build community through conservation with the goal of promoting native fish restoration and preservation in Colorado. We give younger members the opportunity to engage with Colorado TU in fun and diverse ways. We're also helping to develop the next round of leadership from within Trout Unlimited and we're having a good time while we do it. " Building Collaborative Coalitions In The Dolores River Basin Boasting views of southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains that rise to lofty heights of over 14,000 feet, a multitude of working ranches and farms, excellent cutthroat trout, elk and deer habitat, and vibrant communities, the Dolores Basin is truly a one-of-a-kind place. This largely intact western landscape is home to incredible hunting and fishing, as well as infinite recreational opportunities ranging from rafting and kayaking to hiking, cycling, ORV riding and even sailing and water skiing on McPhee Reservoir. Additionally, it's an area vital to local agricultural and ranching interests, and is essential for downstream water supply and water quality. From the top of the drainage to the bottom, the Dolores Basin is a paradise that deserves to be kept the way it is. To help protect this landscape for a variety of recreation uses long into the future, Colorado TU initiated a community-wide discussion about how to protect the sporting, economic, and recreational values in the upper watershed. These conversations helped build a new coalition, `Sportsmen for the Dolores' (www.upperdolores.com), that will continue an open dialogue about protecting the values and resources of our public lands and promote a wise land use plan that values traditional multiple backcountry uses. Newly hired Backcountry Coordinator Matt Clark and other Colorado TU staff worked in conjunction with the local Dolores River Anglers TU Sub-chapter to identify and initiate stream restoration projects on small tributaries of the Dolores River that contain native Colorado cutthroat populations. Working closely with the U.S. Forest Service, other conservation organizations, local citizens, and OHV groups, Colorado TU worked to create balanced and responsible travel management plans in the San Juan National Forest that preserve this special place for future generations while continuing to allow diverse recreational activities. chapters work together with local communities to maintain protection for Colorado's valuable network of public forests, wilderness, and parks � places that provide some of the best hunting, fishing, hiking and camping in the country. 10 | Colorado Trout Unlimited 2010 Year In Review | 11 Water Quality Program Overview Water quality is one of the most basic indicators of watershed health. The availability of cold, clean water is essential for trout, wildlife, and human health. Unfortunately, water quality in many of Colorado's river basins has declined due to widespread development � from water diversion projects that reduce flows, to streamside mining and urban runoff. Colorado TU works to improve water quality in Colorado's rivers and streams by advocating for water quality standards that sustain diverse aquatic life in the Arkansas, Rio Grande, Colorado, Yampa, Platte, Gunnison, and San Juan basins. Legislative Advocacy Colorado TU is the only sportsmen's conservation organization that maintains a full-time legislative advocate at the State Capitol during the General Assembly. Combined with the power of our grassroots membership � activists who contact their legislators on critical issues � Colorado TU provides a respected and effective voice for river and watershed protection at the legislature. Monitoring Water Quality Through RiverWatch Through RiverWatch, a collaborative effort between Colorado TU, the Colorado Watershed Assembly, and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, volunteers from 6 Trout Unlimited chapters helped collect baseline data on streams and rivers across the state. RiverWatch is designed to provide policy-makers and agencies with high quality water ecosystem data to guide informed decisions. Notes From The Field The Cutthroat Chapter, Cheyenne Mountain Chapter, Colorado River Headwaters Chapter, West Denver Trout Unlimited, Five Rivers Chapter, and Collegiate Peaks Chapter conducted monitoring on Clear Creek, Bear Creek, Severy Creek, South Platte River, Arkansas River and the Fraser River among others, logging hundreds of volunteer hours monitoring their home waters. Program Overview Congress and the state legislature are critical forums where laws are made that affect our rivers. A single bad law can counter the benefits of dozens of onthe-ground efforts, while a good law can open valuable opportunities for river conservation. To maximize our ability to conserve, protect and restore watersheds throughout our state, Colorado TU works with decision-makers at the state capitol and in Washington D.C. promoting balanced, common sense policies that ensure Colorado's rivers and public lands remain healthy for future generations. Bill Honeyfield, Cutthroat TU Chapter "Fish need cold, clean water to survive. I participate in the River Watch program to help Colorado agencies monitor and maintain the health of our rivers. As an added bonus, it's fun!" 2010 was a good year for smart water bills under the Capitol dome. A package of bills to promote a variety of water conservation strategies was passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor Ritter. Additionally, Colorado TU secured legislation encouraging low-impact hydropower and defeated a bill to weaken the ability of the Division of Wildlife to acquire lands for habitat and hunting and fishing access. Colorado TU and our allies scored important victories on our top legislative priorities, making 2010 a highly successful session for river and watershed conservation. Together, we: Promoted Wise Water Use. Colorado TU and its conservation partners secured passage of three important bills to encourage greater conservation of water, helping keep more water in Colorado's streams. Combined, these measures represent a significant step forward in promoting wise water use. HB 1051 requires water providers to present annual information on the amount of water being saved through their water conservation plans, and outline strategies that must be considered under their plans. SB 25 extends the state water efficiency grant program to support water efficiency and conservation programs. HB 1358 requires new home builders to offer water-smart options such as installation of water-efficient fixtures and xeriscaping. are valued for property tax purposes. Colorado TU worked with bill sponsors to apply this change to lower-impact hydropower projects only � those that take advantage of water already moved for other purposes and do not take more water from Colorado's streams. It represents the first low-impact hydropower standard in Colorado law, encouraging renewable energy in a way that also protects streams. Keeping Colorado's Rivers Clean Beyond monitoring, protection of water quality requires effective advocacy before the Water Quality Control Commission to ensure that Colorado's rivers are protected by strong, science-based standards. In 2010, Colorado TU and its partners worked with the Commission in its "Basic Standards" review � setting baseline standards that protect water quality statewide. Among the major issues addressed in this revision of the standards: Dissolved oxygen standards were proposed that didn't consider the needs of fish species that occur at greater depths than two meters � such as trout and especially lake trout. Colorado TU helped secure language recognizing the need to look at oxygen levels at greater depths where fish rely on those deeper-water habitats. Colorado TU helped limit proposed measures that provide loopholes and exemptions for polluters. The Commission adopted more protective zinc standards to help protect sculpin (and in the process strengthened protection for trout as well). Mining interests proposed a number of measures to weaken metal standards; in each case, Colorado TU either achieved an acceptable compromise or defeated the proposal altogether. Advocated For Reasonable Hydropower. SB 19 was intended to change how hydropower plants acquiring lands with habitat stamp funds. Land purchases made by Colorado DOW using habitat stamp funds contributed by hunters and anglers are very valuable in protecting habitat and in providing hunting and fishing access. Protected Funding For Trout Habitat & Access. Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Colorado TU helped defeat HB 1361, a bill that would have created significant new obstacles to Securing Funding For Local River & Public Lands Conservation Since the 1970's, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, funded through oil and gas royalties that are collected for permission to drill/develop on public lands, has provided resources to communities, state, and federal agencies to establish and maintain public parks across the country. Many of these projects also pay for locally-led stream restoration efforts throughout Colorado. While this program has provided millions of dollars to local communities to establish and maintain healthy rivers and access to public lands through offshore oil and gas leasing revenues, it has rarely received full funding. During 2010, Colorado TU mobilized its grassroots members in support of various attempts by Congress to fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund including the Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources (CLEAR) Act.

The moment of truth comes tonight for the Celtics sometime shortly after 8 p.m. ET once the NBA unveils the results of the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery. You have probably heard about the full lottery odds by now, but here is a quick reminder of the Celtics' chances of landing any potential pick from 1-8. The only place the C's could not land is the fourth spot in that range due to losing a tiebreaker with the Jazz last month. Here is the full breakdown:
First: 10.3 percent
Second: 11.1 percent
Third: 12 percent
Fourth: 0 percent
Fifth: 23.7 percent
Sixth: 34.2 percent
Seventh: 8.2 percent
Eighth: 0.3 percent
As you watch the lottery show tonight, you will be able to tell whether things are going well for the Celtics (or not) prior to the team's pick being announced. The reason for that is once the top 3 picks are selected, the rest of the lottery draft order is determined by the regular season record of the remaining teams, from worst to best.
Here's the order of those teams based on the team's regular season record heading into tonight's lottery.
14. Phoenix Suns
13. Minnesota Timberwolves
12. Orlando Magic (via Denver Nuggets)
11. Denver Nuggets (via New York Knicks)
10. New Orleans Pelicans
9. Cleveland Cavaliers
8. Detroit Pistons
7. Sacramento Kings
6. Los Angeles Lakers
5. Boston Celtics
4. Utah Jazz
3. Orlando Magic
2. Philadelphia 76ers
1. Milwaukee Bucks
If the envelopes are opened up for the teams in this order, up until the Celtics spot at five, that's great news for Boston fans. That order would indicate no better team has "jumped" the Celtics in the lottery order and moved into the top 3.
If the above order starts to deviate in slots 8-14, with a team or teams like the Cavs or Wolves missing from their expected slots early on then Celtics fans know that's bad news for their chances. Any of these teams moving up doesn't eliminate Boston's chances of moving up as well, but it does increase the odds their potential draft position will move down to sixth, seventh, or eighth.
Based on this, the best thing Celtics fans can hope for the early portion of tonight's show is that every team ends up in their expected spot, up until the envelope with the fifth pick is unveiled.

El Oceano Beach Club: Wannabees
A supposed boutique hotel with a beautiful boardwalk restaurant. Though having stayed at many boutique hotels around the world the El Oceano severely lacks any kind of real class, particularly amongst the often cheesey staff. The food was piled high on the plate with the portions just too over-facing - obviously catering for the English "we do like a bargain" Costa Del Sol crowd. For instance I've never had so much Foie Gras on a plate - which made me question just how good the Foie Gras actually was - if it was at all.
The setting is lovely but El Oceano wants to be so much more yet fails because of its lack of subtlety and simplicity.
Hermosa: Californian style in Spain
Beautiful restaurant in the harbour of Puerto Cabopino. Relaxed atmosphere and wonderfully attentive service lets you just sit back and enjoy the "progressive international" (their words) cuisine.
Favorite Dish: The Adult Burger with capers and Wasabi was fantastic and very popular on the night we where there. They're however willing to cook anything you want, even if it's not on the menu.

OK so we all know that Wayne got his training from the Twins and they are of course winners but sometimes they do things like sign a bunch of old guys that aren't needed to fill spots that could easily be filled by younger more talented players. Sounds like another team and their bullpen to me.
What are the Twins doing?posted: Monday, March 26, 2007 | Print Entry
One of the strangest things this spring was the Twins signaling their preference for veteran starting pitchers Sidney Ponson, Ramon Ortiz and Carlos Silva over young Scott Baker, Glen Perkins and especially Matt Garza. To which we might ask, "Why bother drafting and developing all these fine young pitchers if you're not going to use them?"
I know, I know ... who am I to quibble with the most successful player factory in the majors? Seems small of me, and history does suggest that Terry Ryan knows what he's doing.
And anyway, it seems the Twins' wishes are being dashed against the rocks of the veterans' limited talents. In his three spring starts, Ponson has posted a 6.30 ERA and struck out only three batters. As for Silva, who's making $3.5 million this season, he's been absolutely hammered this spring, giving up 29 hits in 16 innings. So although Garza has been allowed to start just one game all spring, thanks to good work he's now considered a serious candidate for the rotation.
Which can only improve the Twins' chances this season. As I've written before, they won last season despite beginning the season with a bunch of the wrong guys on the roster. They're not likely to be so lucky again.

Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Great helmet I love this helmet for the hot humid days which are so frequent here. The internal airflow of this helmet is second to none. The adjustability of fit using different cheek pads available, and the ability to remove them for cleaning really make this helmet stand out above the rest. It looks killer; the field of vision is excellent and the visor is positioned to really help block the sun (unlike the ICON Variant) and doesn't catch air like a sail. Dan - September 02, 2014 (Hampton, VA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Nice surpise I read the reviews and was worried about the extra noise and adjustability. Coming out of a Shoei Multitec and didn't know if I would like giving up the flip up feature. I normally wear a large and had tried on other Arai helmets to check, but this one runs a "Little" smaller than others in the cheek area. So I traded Superstore out for an XL and it was perfect. The noise levels on this helmet are MUCH quieter than my MultiTec and the venting is fantastic. Id go with a pinlock shield, it tends to fog more than I like. I give Motorcycle Superstore huge marks for customer service. Quick refund on the exchange. Overall, I don't think I will leave Arai, and Ive been a long time Shoei guy. Just that much better quality of fit and finish....worth every penny. Scott - February 19, 2014 (Columbia, SC) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Perfect even for 100+ degree temps. Great helmet, love the semi old school look. The only time you get major wind buffeting is when you do a head check on changing lanes. Only really notice when doing 60+ mph. The air flow is wonderful, just make sure you don't close the mouth port when pulling it on your head. All around perfect buy! Jonny - November 15, 2013 (Magnolia, TX) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Awesome! Love this helmet. Looks great, fits great, very comfortable and adjustable. Costly but a bargain as well. Highly recommend! Bob - October 16, 2012 (San Diego, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit WOW! Until I actually wore a top of the line helmet I never knew what I was missing. Once I trimmed the cheekpads, I now have the perfect helmet! Lightweight, great airflow and very aerodynamic (even with the visor). Visibility is wide and clear. I ride in extreme heat and humidity, the XD4 provides lots of air flow. I highly recommend the XD4! Robert - August 13, 2012 (Jacksonville, FL) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit XD-4 This was my first Aria helmet. The fit and construction is good, air flow is ok(could be better), and the only downside is the visor vibrates at speed and it translates to my earplugs in a seady streem of humming. It is a loud helmet with wind noise. Had to ready tighten down the visor mounting screws to reduce the vibration. The visor should be a bit more stiffer to eliminate the vibration. Overall a good helemt and would recomend it to adventure riders. Adam - July 16, 2012 (Beaufort, SC) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit XD-4 .... worth every penny I typically go for cheaper head gear that is still DOT/SNELL approved, but went well over what I have paid in the past for the XD-4. Is it worth it. Every penny! The venting on the helmet is quite decent, however I will need to have it out for a few hours in the heat to decide how well. Fit and finish are top notch, and this is the first helmet I have owned that actually seems to be designed to easily handle wearing sun glasses.

Resting Easy: Marco couple built their dream house without nightmares — and with lots of custom work
Generally ask a person about building their own home and the word "nightmare" comes out. For Alan and Linda Sandlin of Marco Island, however, the word is "dream."
"Most people who build their homes talk about what a trial it was; what a trauma," muses Alan Sandlin. But he says he and his his wife, Linda, enjoyed the 18-month process of designing and constructing their home. "We just had so much fun…. Every week brought a new idea, a new innovation, a new way to solve a problem."
Even before the process began, their first challenge was finding a place to build, because the selection of available lots on Marco is diminishing. The Sandlins, however, were able to use their resources as Realtors to scout the ideal location.
"We wanted to be within walking distance of the beach," explains Alan, "and we also wanted easy boating access to the Gulf at the north end of Marco."
A tip lot, just off Kendall Drive, almost on Collier Bay, met those criteria. The site had space for extras like a wrap-around dock that houses a sport fishing boat and two kayaks, the couple's favorite outdoors entertainment.
"We have the best of all possible worlds," Linda says..
The Sandlins grew up in the Midwest and attended Indiana University, where she majored in music and he in business. He worked his way through college singing and strumming his guitar, and that's how the couple met. They were married shortly after graduation, moving to Sarasota for 10 years. Alan continued in the entertainment world and Linda sang in musicals and the occasional USO show.
"My business background sort of went to sleep for a while," says Alan with a laugh. They came to Marco in 1982, where Alan landed a long stint at Quinn's on the Beach.
Eventually, in a bit of role reversal, Linda —the music major — moved into real estate while Alan — the business major — continued with his musical career. After some time on her own, Linda asked her husband to join her as a real estate team, much to the dismay of his fans at Quinn's.
When the Sandlins decided to build a new home, they worked closely with an architect and the builders at RCE to come up with a unique approach.
"We call it a mix of French provincial and Mediterranean," Linda explains. "The interior is almost exclusively done in tones of taupe, with occasional accents of green and rose."
The floors are all of gleaming off-white tile, but the construction above and the views out are the eye-catchers. In the main living space, the ceilings are 16 feet up, and to accent the space, the tray ceilings and crown moldings were finished in deeper shades than the walls, creating an effect that doesn't overshadow the rooms.
Upstairs, ceilings are 9 feet high. To show off its water view, bedroom windows are full-length lanai doors; even the shower is flooded with outdoor light. The upstairs views are of a landscaped lanai, with urns of colorful plantings, and a clear, blue pool. The house often seems made of windows, awash in light with an airy atmosphere throughout.
Arches are everywhere — above the entry, in the foyer, leading into the dining room and atop the exits to the lanai. The two guest rooms have private baths and share a sitting room. Recessed spots direct indoor lighting strategically, adding to the atmosphere.
Step through the handsome front doorway, with its mullioned windows, and you're in the living room, largely furnished with Euro-style sofas and chairs and signaling the pale taupe palette the repeats through the rest of the house. In one corner stands a grand piano, a gift to Linda from her family for mastering a number of difficult Beethoven pieces.
"It once belonged to the CBS studio in Chicago," she explains, and laughs at the oversized stuffed gorilla seated on its bench. Throughout the home are mementos of foreign trips, family photographs and antiques.
To the left of the foyer is a his-and-hers home office where the green details figure into granite desktops. To the rear is the master bedroom, all in taupe, with a tapestry acquired on a trip to Germany, hanging over the bed. Linda's brother Steve is an artist, and some of his watercolors are there.
The oversized master bath features a large Roman tub of Jerusalem stone, with a wide double shower behind and a privacy garden beyond.
On the far side of the entry is the large dining room with bleached mahogany furnishings, including a breakfront and a table for eight. French and Japanese tapestries, also acquired on travels, adorn the walls.
The kitchen is designed for serious cooking, with a functional island and abundant work space. Its maple cabinetry has countertops of Santa Cecilia granite, offset with rose- and ruby-colored garnet chips. The random height of the cabinets provides space for plants and sculptures.
Next to the kitchen is an informal dining area, with chairs upholstered in a monkey-patterned fabric.
Peeking around one corner, ready to munch into a silk ficus, is a tall, rosewood giraffe.
Nearby is another sculpture of a mother and baby elephant, all brought home from Africa.
Further right is an oversized family room, with a small game table and a standard pool table.
"We have a plywood top for that," Linda explains. "so we can play ping-pong or use it for serving buffets."
Above the massive entertainment center is a collection of pottery, mostly Native American, and on one table is a scale model of a Newfoundland fishing dory.
Behind the house is a full-width lanai, featuring an infinity pool with a vanishing edge, a spa and two waterfalls. Edged in gray and black tiles, the pool creates a forest-like setting, with trees and shrubs positioned all around.
"We can open our bedroom at night," observes Linda, "and fall asleep to the sound of the waterfalls."

Has anyone tried to get a price adjustment from Newegg?

Re: Has anyone tried to get a price adjustment from Newegg?
I'll find out on Monday, but I would think that Newegg would honor the adjustment on a card that they are now selling for a much lower price. many stores such as BB, Fry's and Circuit City will adjust a price if they or even a competitor are selling it for less for a specified period. If it involves a computer, that may be only 14 days.
If Newegg will not adjust the price, I'll just order another card at the new price and return the one I have. Newegg will then have a returned card and they'll have sold another to me for the reduced price.
It's no secret how video cards drop in price over time, but since this happened so quickly, common sense may allow for an adjustment. I've bought a lot of merchandise from Newegg, so we'll see how much it values its customers.

We are always looking for future workshop hosts. If you would like to host a workshop, please fill out and send in an application.
What You Will Learn
Throughout our instructor workshops, we discuss many important topics that are crucial to becoming an invaluable asset to your team. Topics such as "Teaching Techniques" and "Group Dynamics" are always crowd favorites. Both sessions are done on and off the ice, and get into topics such as different ways of teaching the basic elements to educational activities that are fun for skaters of all ages to setting up traffic patterns. This knowledge is important for a group class to be run well. Off the ice, our classroom discussions range from "Customer Service," "Basic Skills Competition Structure," "Lesson Planning" and "Marketing and Promotion of the Basic Skills Program." Promoting your Basic Skills program is everyone's responsibility, regardless of whether you are an instructor or the program director.
Our director meetings consist of important topics such as "Parent Education" and "Growing and Retaining Your Membership," among others. Communication with our directors is so important, so that we are not missing any steps along the way in reaching our skaters. As a Basic Skills program director, you have our trust to run the program according to the Basic Skills Program standards, and we feel it is necessary to touch base with you as often as possible so that our lines of communication are always open.
One thing that is consistent throughout all seminars is the open communication between the attendees and the speakers. We strive not only to educate our instructors and directors, but we always look forward to learning new things from you as well.
