Discounted trees for Earth Day

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

For Immediate Release April 22, 2019 Media Contact Tyler Kelser, Sustainability Specialist. 720-564-2724 Boulder County’s EnergySmart Program Partners with Arbor Day Foundation to offer heavily discounted trees for Earth Day Only 600 trees available, reserve your tree early! Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County’s Sustainability Office is providing more than 600 discounted trees to its residents through EnergySmart, the county’s one-stop-shop service to help residents make their homes more comfortable, affordable, and environmentally friendly. This tree planting program is designed to help residents better understand where to plant a tree on their property to achieve maximum shading effect for maximum energy savings. “Trees are assets to a community when properly planted and maintained,” said Dan Lambe, Arbor Day Foundation President. “They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values by up to 18%, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.” Starting April 22, Boulder County residents can reserve their trees at www.arborday.org/bouldercounty. An online tool helps residents estimate the annual energy savings that will result from plating trees in the most strategic location near their homes. Residents can reserve one tree per home and are expected to care for and plant them in the location provided by the online tool. Boulder County is proud to sponsor this program and provide residents with one discounted tree for only $25. In less than five minutes, residents can reserve a 5-gallon tree offered in five different varieties. This program will end on May 8 or while supply lasts. The five types of trees offered in 5-gallon sizes are: Austrian Pine Bur Oak Kentucky Coffee Tree Ponderosa Pine Spring Snow Crabapple The program will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and there will be two pickup locations in Boulder and Longmont for a pickup time in May. Residents will be able to choose their pickup location during checkout. At Boulder County, we’re committed to a greener, healthier world. Trees around homes help reduce the amount of energy your home requires by shading and keeping temperatures cooler inside your home. Other benefits include adding to your property value, reduce your carbon footprint, improve the air quality, more effectively catch stormwater runoff, and provide an urban cooling effect in the summer for your community for you and generations to come. For more information, visit www.arborday.org/bouldercounty or contact Tyler Kelser at tkelser@nullbouldercounty.org or 720-564-2724.

Clean up at Rocky Point Saturday

Greetings neighbors!
After a recognizance hike today, we discovered that Rocky Point is pretty clean, and most of the snow is melted.  We would like to shovel out campfire rings and remove rings where there are multiples in one site. To discourage vehicles from driving further in to sites, particularly on the east side, we plan to line up rocks that we can move by hand or with a dolly.

 

 Please join Kate and Derek for a celebration of Earth Day by contributing to the Sierra Club and participating in a clean up at Rocky Point. Meet at the Point, Saturday April 20th at 1pm. Bring gloves, shovels, and rakes. We’ll provide trash bags and a truck to haul the junk away.  

We made this commitment to raise funds for the Sierra Club so they can help us with initiatives like these:

· Providing cleaner, cheaper, energy.
· Protecting our land, water, and air – from our backyards to the other side of the globe.
· Saving animals being threatened with extinction.
· Making the outdoors accessible for all of us.

I set a goal to raise $500 by April 22. Will you join us?

Minutes of the February 11, 2019, Town Meeting

Next Town Meeting will be Monday, April 8^th, 2019, 7:00 P.M. at the Community Center

The meeting was called to order by Chair Tony Vrba. Thirteen people attended including Tony, Member at Large Dan Maedke, Bob Walter,  Peter Swift, Bobby Vrba, Virginia Schultz,  Debra Yeager,  Marcus Moench, Elizabeth Caspari , Pam Sherman, and Treasurer Martha Knapp.  Niki Pierson (npierson@nullpeakviewsolar.com) and Dana Mulvany attended as guest speakers to speak for Peak View Solar.

Peak View Solar – Dana Mulvany spoke about the affordability of converting residents to solar power rather than electric. A few key points made are that there are no start-up costs to converting, solar is very affordable in the long run, and your property would be 100% covered and guaranteed for 25 years. Peak View solar is the only family owned and operated solar company in Colorado and has been for over 10 years. Solar would allow you to save significant money over many years, be more self-reliant, and greatly help the environment. If interested checkout www.peakviewsolar.comor schedule an appointment with Niki Pierson (npierson@nullpeakviewsolar.com)

Minutes – Were approved as published.  In Gretchen’s absence, Dan volunteered to take minutes of this meeting.

Treasurer’s Report – Martha reports

Community Center Update – We continued discussions around the community center project. Peter reports that our next steps include developing a survey monkey to reach out to the community to get input on a location around Gold Hill. There is also a need for a volunteer that is interested in finding more information about a fundraising website like a GoFundMe or Kick-starter Campaign.

Gold Hill Multi-property Fire Mitigation Plan update – The GH Multi-property fire mitigation plan has begun discussions around properties that have shown interest. As everything stands, properties that are interested are looking at a 10-year plan and would need to be willing to put the work in to mitigate.

 

Sustainability Plan Update- The Sustainability Committee is looking at participating in the $20,000 Sustainability Audit. This would focus on community services and strategies for the future of GH pertaining to water, food, energy, fire and health services and much more. This could potentially open doors to Grants and Funding for our community.  They plan to start in April to coordinate community outreach and engagement.

            EnergySmart – Boulder County currently offers assistance toward an energy audit valued at $450, costing County residents $185

Gold Hill Resiliency – GH Resiliency was looking at a grant for a water inventory for the community. It seems the Front Range may not qualify for this grant. A proposal may be the next step to lay out how it would help the community and also how beneficial it would be for many mountain communities across the Front Range.

USPS Package Drop – A discussion has begun around the possibility of a USPS Package Drop Box location being created to help with late and lost packages. We have been working with Don Harmen, son of Scott Harmen, the previous mail carrier in GH for years. Don has received a contract to be our carrier for the next 6 years. This process would be as simple as each resident filling out a form to be kept on file with the post office specifying alternate location to drop packages. This would mean that those interested could participate and those not are not required to. There is also a strong possibility that this drop location can be the Gold Hill Store. Whitey, the new owner is very interested in helping the community and bringing in a little more local traffic into the store. We will continue discussions with Don and see what our next steps are.

Movie Making in Gold Hill – The previous discussion through email around the possible closing of Main Street the end of May is still in the works. The Denver Film Company is still in the process of obtaining permits and talking to the appropriate people and organizations. There is the possibility of a representative from the company attending our next town meeting. We also talked about the idea of the company doing something in return for the town, maybe working with the school kids and teaching film techniques or maybe doing a showing of their movie for the community.

Soil Health Project –The Citizen Science Project on Soil Health is a 10-year commitment by participants, using test sites on our individual properties, to improve the soil structure and increase the microbial life, the water retention and infiltration rate, and the amount of carbon in the soil. There are 30 participants in Boulder County from surrounding counties. They are farmers, ranchers, and a couple of tree farms (that’s our category). Our soil will be tested yearly both chemically and biologically, and we will have the opportunities to learn from experts as well as from the participant community. In return, each participant will keep detailed records and write a yearly report. The expected benefits include carbon taken from the atmosphere and sequestered into the soil which helps ameliorate climate change, makes plants grow better and resist diseases, gives us more nutritious food from the garden and healthier people, better water retention which leads to better wildfire mitigation, mitigation from both flood and drought, and an overall better ecosystem for wildlife and humans.

Welcome Buckets – Deb Yeager requested $100 for more Welcome Buckets and supplies. She will receive the money from the NeighborLink account.

Gold Hill School – The Gold Hill School kids are currently in their ski program at Eldora, receiving lessons and ski time every Friday all month. The School play will be on March 21^st, shows at 12:00 and 6:30 with the evening performance always being packed. The Finn family will be recognized with an award by Boulder Valley Impact on Education for everything they have contributed and done for the school. The Kitchen Next door fundraiser will be Monday April 29^thfrom 5- to 9 pm. In the spring, students will be looking forward to gardens and greenhouse, bees, and raising chickens and ducks from eggs. The school would like to say THANK YOU once again for all the support with Fall Fiesta.  This year marks the 145^thyear that the Gold Hill School has been in operation. There will be a celebration in May with more information to come.

 

Respectfully submitted, Dan Maedke, Member at Large, Acting Secretary

St. Patty’s

Jaysus, Mary and Joseph! Don’t ya be frettin’ over whether you’ll gain admission to me annual St Patrick’s Day Party! Sure and it’s the grand truth, there be no admissions process! All are welcome! To that end, ya won’t be needin’ to pay me any bribes to get in. Ya won’t be needin’ to send me inflated SAT or ACT scores. Ya won’t be needin’ testimonials to yer academic prowess. We Irish have a way of figuring that once you start yer gab! Ya won’t be needin’ letters from yer coaches exalting yer athletic abilities. After all, who amongst us has any athletic ability after a few stouts, whiskeys and a stomach full of corned beef and prataies! Though, if ya have an AOH(Ancient Order of Hiberians) score, that would be helpful, but not required. Sure, and tis no blarney, meself has no idea what a Hiberian is anyway! Me thinks tis someone who hibernates! And that’s the other point of this gatherin’ Gettin’ us out of our wintertime, cabin fever hibernation here in the mountains of Colorado!
After all, who can say who is and who isn’t Irish? I’ve heard it said that St Patrick himself was not Irish, that he was from Britain, his parents may have been Roman and that blue was the color associated with him, and not green. And, Christ on the Cross, it’s no grand deal to drive the snakes out of good ol’ Erin if there weren’t any there in the first place! It has also may be true that corned beef is not an old Irish tradition, but may have come by way of Amerique! It’s possible that most Irish can’t spell leprechaun! I’ve also read that the Irish Celts came there by way of Spain. Si, este es la verdad!
So, it may be true that everyone is a wee bit Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day. But, dooonn’t ya be bringin’ yer 23andMe score! Begorrah, we won’t be needin’ it! The festivities begin anytime after 3:00 pm, this Saturday, March 16 at 730 Main Street, Gold Hill. Bring something, if ya want or just bring yerselves!
And, once again, we’ll prove the truth of the old Irish adage: may your house always be too small to hold all your friends!

Cabin Fever Concert scheduled this month

Music at the Store

Aaaaannnnnd… we’re back! Cabin Fever Concerts have been able to schedule a concert this month, and we hope you’ll join us at the Gold Hill Store & Pub on Thursday, March 21st to welcome Idaho-born, Nashville resident, Korby Lenker. Korby is the recipient of numerous songwriting awards – most recently a 1st place win at
the 2016 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriters’ contest. In March, NPR Music premiered the song and video he wrote and performed with Americana queen Nora Jane Struthers called ‘Let’s Just Have Supper.’ Korby tours constantly and has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Ray Lamontagne, Nickel Creek, and many others.

“One of the most striking things about seeing Lenker perform is his relationship with his guitar. He doesn’t just play it, he becomes it — or, maybe, it becomes a part of him.” ~No Depression

Tickets are $15 per person. Doors @ 6:30pm, Concert @ 7pm.
531 Main Street, Gold Hill, CO
