Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to present the 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference

“Thriving in a New Economic Reality”
The early bird deadline is April 18 – register now and save
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to present the 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference. This year we are featuring presentations that demonstrate how you are adapting and thriving in our new economic reality. You will learn about innovative partnerships, diversifying funding sources, use of technology to streamline, entrepreneurial solutions, adaptive reuse of aging facilities, cultivating political and community support, and other case studies that present new ideas and tools to succeed in today’s economic reality.
Session Spotlight
Communicating with our many stakeholders is an important but sometimes challenging task of a successful outdoor recreation project. Learn from several SORP members and their colleagues about the different approaches they’ve taken in listening and learning from their stakeholders.
Benchmarking: The Art of Talking to People on Benches in an Effort to Keep Them Happy
Intercept surveys are an incredibly useful tool for gaining a solid understanding of existing park user’s perspectives and desires as well as understanding who your agency is currently serving. Intercept surveys generate the type of information professionals crave when developing system plans, master plans, and project plans.
However, this level of outreach can be awkward (walking up to strangers and asking for all kinds of personal information – yikes!!!) and intimidating (resources, bias, data entry/analysis…where do you start???). And what do you do with the information once you have it?
This presentation will walk you through parallel studies conducted in 2008 and 2013 across a system of 19 park units encompassing 27,000+ acres whose annual visitation exceeds 5 million and discuss how to share and use the survey findings to guide thoughtful decisions and long-term plans. Join SORP members Thomas Mercier, Research & Evaluation Coordinator and Kelly Grissman, Director of Planning, Three Rivers Park District to hear about examples that will provide insight on the realistic expectations of the resources required and project outcomes.
A Road Runs Through It
Park planning can be greatly affected by past history. Strong and independent pioneers settled the Ozarks in the mid-1800s. A hardscrabble existence fraught with peril refined the Ozark character. Today, some descendants are thriving and others continue to get by in a beautiful and unforgiving landscape. For all, their ties to the land remain strong and independent, helping further shape today’s Ozark culture. At Current River State Park, local perspectives have been shaped by experiences with the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Not all of the experiences have been regarded as positive by the populace. The long-festering cultural clash came to a head when local authorities unilaterally pushed a road into the new state park. Join SORP member Bill Bryan, Director of Missouri State Parks, and learn how Missouri reconciled with park neighbors to move forward with the new park even though A Road Runs Through It.
Building Your Plan for Community Engagement and Outreach
The East Bay Regional Park District is comprised of over 113,000 acres in 65 parks and over 1,200 miles of trails within Alameda and Contra Costa County in California. The district, serving the Bay Area for 80 years, is dedicated to improving access to and use of the parks by members of groups that are underrepresented, such as persons with disabilities, the economically disadvantaged and elderly park visitors.
In early 2011, the district opened the Tidewater Boating Center which was funded by State Prop 40 monies to provide outdoor recreational opportunities to under-resourced populations. Through successful partnerships with low-income schools, cities and local non-profit organizations, the district has been able to increase access and awareness of outdoor recreation programs and services in the regional parks. Join SORP member Anne Kassebaum, and her colleagues from the East Bay Regional Park District as you learn how to develop strategies to successfully engage under-resourced populations, develop deep engagement experiences for youth and families in the outdoors and how to utilize community mapping to develop strategic partnerships for engagement and outreach.
Seeking public input through online surveys for resource management planning
Public input is an important factor when preparing a state park Resource Management Plan (RMP), the purpose of which is to document management responsibilities for balancing the use of water and land resources related to recreation. With the growing public demand for outdoor recreation, it is critical to take the public’s interests into consideration. Survey participants were obtained from various sources including Facebook, cabin and campground reservation, golf course membership, and state park friend groups. The SERVQUAL (Service quality survey) was modified to assess park visitors’ desired and perceived service quality for the Oklahoma State Park system. The results provide managers and decision-makers valuable long-term direction and guidelines for effective and efficient management of natural resources. The presentation focuses on the process of obtaining survey participants and developing the survey instrument. You won’t want to miss this session from SORP members Stella Liu and Nicky Wu from Oklahoma State University.
Join the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals for their 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference May 13-16 in San Francisco, California. Outdoor recreation professionals from local, special district, state, and federal agencies; private sector firms and consultants; university faculty and students; and non-profit organizations gather annually to share success stories, collaborate on challenging situations, and strategize new solutions.
Visit www.recpro.org/2014-conference to learn more, download a preliminary program and register for the 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference.
Early bird rates are available through April 18. Register now to save $100 or more on your registration.

There was a very cautious man

He never sang or prayed.
And when he one day passed away
His insurance was denied.
For since he never really lived,

Navajo Nation Council to Vote on Grand Canyon Escalade Project
Posted: April 11, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Arizona, Grand Canyon, Hopi, Hopi people, Navajo Nation, Navajo Nation Council, z Leave a commentRaging Rivers: Navajo Nation Council to Vote on Grand Canyon Escalade Project
4/4/14
The Navajo Nation‘s proposal to build a multi-million-dollar resort at the confluence of the Little Colorado and Colorado rivers in northern Arizona has raised environmental and cultural concerns. The 420-acre tourist attraction would include a hotel, restaurants, and a gondola tramway from the rim of the Grand Canyon to an elevated river walk on the canyon floor.
Proponents of the project say it will create jobs, monitor and protect sacred sites and generate revenues for rehabilitation of the Bennett Freeze area. Opponents, which include the Hopi Tribe and Grand Canyon Trust, cite the sacred nature of the confluence, the threat to specific sacred sites and the appropriate conditions for religious activities and the fact that this is not an economic development plan that was created by or would necessarily benefit local residents.

Opposition Continues for the Grand Canyon Escalade
Tony Skrelunas, Grand Canyon Trust Native America program director, says the organization supports economic development and diversification, but the potential mechanized development in the Grand Canyon is not in keeping with its principles of environmental preservation and would set a precedent for the future. “We’re working with the [Navajo] chapters in the area to develop a community-based economic development plan that is culturally and environmentally appropriate,” he says.
The agreement between the Navajo Nation and Confluence Partners LLC, the developers of the project, expired July 1. A new agreement has been signed, but requires approval from the Navajo Tribal Council before it can go into effect. That vote could come at any time.
The Arizona Corporation Commission lists R. Lamar Whitmer, who was instrumental in the development of the Hualapai Tribe’s Grand Canyon Skywalk, as the corporation’s only member. The Grand Canyon Escalade website named other partners in the project as former Navajo Nation President and current Arizona State Sen. Albert Hale; retired Judge Michael C. Nelson, legal counsel to former Navajo Nation President Peterson Zah; Eunice L. Tso, a project management and permitting consultant; Keith A. Lamparter, a design and construction manager; Bernie Propst, former CFO for the Hualapai Tribe’s Grand Canyon Resort Corp.; Michele Crank, a community and government relations consultant; and financial advisor James J. Maguire, Jr.
So far, according to Rick Abasta, communications director for the Navajo Nation’s Office of the President and the Vice President, Confluence Partners has not identified any investors for the project. The Navajo Nation is considering investing several tens of millions of dollars upfront to build the infrastructure for the project. Whitmer has stated that at buildout the project could cost as much as copy billion.
On February 6, Hopi Tribal Chairman Herman G. Honanie wrote to Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly requesting a meeting to discuss the proposed project. The two met on February 10 and discussed, according to Abasta, a right-of-way issue related to a fiber optics cable and the taking of eaglets. The Grand Canyon Escalade proposal was, says Hopi Cultural Preservation Office Director Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, given short shrift, with Shelly telling Honanie that the project was just in the planning stages.
Kuwanwisiwma maintains that the project would violate an intergovernmental compact signed by the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe in 2006. The compact ended a decades-long land dispute between the two tribes. Under its terms, both tribes agreed to end all litigation arising from the dispute, a step that eventually led to the opening the Bennett Freeze area to development. The Bennett Freeze, imposed in 1966 by the federal government, prohibited any new construction or repairs or improvements to existing structures or infrastructure on 1.5-million acres of land in the disputed territory, resulting in grossly substandard and unsafe living conditions for the 8,000 Navajos living there. President Obama signed the legislation that was the final step in lifting the Bennett Freeze in 2009.
The compact gives the Hopi Tribe a permanent, irrevocable permit to enter and use Navajo lands for religious practices (and gives Navajos the same right in regard to religious activities on Hopi lands). It further states that the “landowner tribe shall respect the privacy of persons engaging in religious practices and shall not observe or intrude upon religious activities.”
Kuwanwisiwma says the proposed resort, the tramway and the platforms overlooking the confluence could reveal the location of sacred sites to non-Hopis and would interfere with religious activities. “The most important thing in the compact is that both tribes committed to protect each other’s religious use areas from disturbance.” The proposed project would be built in “a very significant Hopi use area … where the Hopi people still go as part of their pilgrimages,” he says.
The very existence of the development would interfere with Hopi religious observance, says Kuwanwisiwma. “Privacy is so important [for our religious activities]. Tranquility is so important. The solace and relationship with the environment as you’re doing these religious ceremonies requires a lot of emotional well-being to feel good about it. I feel that that is what is going to be taken away if this resort. And quite frankly I think if the resort goes where it’s proposed to be, we will be prevented from getting access, period.”
The Hopi Tribe would like Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly and former President Albert Hale to accept an invitation to come to the reservation and talk to the tribal council and villages about the proposal. But whether they come or not, “it’s clear that the area that they have chosen is just totally not acceptable to the Hopi Tribe,” says Kuwanwisiwma. “We feel that if the Navajo Nation Council supports this project at the confluence, they’re going to violate the provisions of the intergovernmental compact.”
Should the Navajo Nation Tribal Council approve the new agreement and should investors for the project materialize, the proposed Grand Canyon Escalade project has the potential to become yet another cause for conflict on the Colorado Plateau.

Kickstarter campaign for Bluetooth lost luggage device that also has a motion sensor. It can record your big jumps on the slope, Terrain Park or bike park. It can also find your lost keys.
Posted: March 21, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Kickstarter, Lost, Luggage, PebbleBee, Pets, Skis Leave a commentThis small round and thin device can be placed on any mobile item with a hook, key ring, stick or the PebbleBee’s adhesive back! The PebbleBee can assist in locating lost items (with attached Bee), monitor tracking, movement, temperature, navigation and numerous other features that assist in everyday management of personal items!
Whether you are traveling to the park or internationally, you don’t want to loose your personal items! Your worries are over…..Meet the PebbleBee!
The PebbleBee’s revolutionary “Range Finder” will assist in alerting you when any mobile item (including children or pets) has crossed over the configured range. By setting up the range alert paired with your location, your mobile device will alert you when the item has crossed over the configured range of up to 150 feet. The PebbleBee will alert you with a “Buzz” or “ring” or even “spark with a LED internal flash to aid in finding your item-it’s your choice. The PebbleBee App (free) will indicate how close you are to the item of interest based on a signal bar and Bee rings. Think, pet collars, children’s backpacks or necklaces, laptops, bikes, cars the items are endless.
Another feature is the PebbleBee Hornet’s motion detection ability that assists in monitoring home security, location of children or pets, health/fitness, numerous sports applications, navigation and commercial/industrial monitoring for safety applications. It has a 9 Axis Motion Tracker and thermometer sensors that when paired with your phone it can provide data on movement, direction, speed, navigation and tracking the user. In combination with your phone’s GPS the possibilities are endless. You can configure defined alerts that let you know if the temperature is dropping outside to bring your plants in, where your cat has traveled at night, if your jogging speed drops below your threshold and more!!! The data can be viewed live and/or saved to a file for replay. Track your awesome moments on the ski slopes, or put the PebbleBee on a door to know when it is being opened. The applications are unlimited!
Should you lose your item at the airport? No problem, with the PebbleBee network an alert will sent to all PebbleBee users who can assist in locating the item for you. You can also integrate your swarm of PebbleBees and Bluetooth devices. Registered in the hive you can securely access your phone or PC anywhere in the world. The Hive software will be compatible with other Smart Router hubs.

Includes functions to enable/disable 9-axis chip and enable callbacks for motion data. Provide real time motion data over Bluetooth. Ability to control when and how (at different sampling rates) you receive data and users can follow easy to use, drag and drop action and trigger commands on the PebbleBee app to create PebbleBee scenarios. I.e. if user pins a PebbleBee on their front door, and door moves, even very slight movement will trigger a compass direction change, which will send a stream of data to your paired phone which will then trigger your defined actions such as sound phone alarm, or email your security company, etc. You get lost hiking in the woods and your cell phone no longer works? No problem because your PebbleBee on your keychain recorded your whole path back, and can actually help you navigate back. The 9-axis gyro can be used to collect endless high resolution motion data on your skateboarding/biking/skiing/motorsports….really any sporting activity and seamlessly stream the data on your phone for live viewing or storage and post analysis/replay. You can even keep an eye on your wine cooler and be notified when the temperature goes below or above an assigned number.
Bumble Version: The PebbleBee can be wirelessly charged by placing it on a wireless charger for battery life longevity. This version includes an induction coil and a lithium ion battery at 150mAH and increase the thickness to 6 mm.
PebbleBee Hive (hub): For home security or for networking PebbleBees across the world, use the PebbleBee Hive. It’s a hub that wirelessly connects all your PebbleBees at home, in the office or out in the field outdoors. The Hive seamlessly coordinates with the cloud over WIFI to notify the PebbleBee application user of notable events. You no longer need your phone to be in range of your PebbleBees for complete control! You can apply all your PebbleBees around your home and be notified of every movement in your home with emails, and notifications on your phone wherever you are. Actions, triggers and motion control can be monitored for multiple PebbleBee contributors across the world. PebbleBees can be shared and controlled anywhere the internet is available. You can play drinking games with your buddies across the globe with the PebbleBee attached to their beer mugs and know exactly when, and how far ahead you are by streaming live data through the PebbleBee hive.

The American Alpine Club is pleased to announce a Call For Applications for the 2014 Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Grant
Posted: March 20, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: #AAC, American Alpine Club, Anatoli Boukreev, Climbing, Mountaineering, Petzl, Zack Martin, Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Fund, ZMBBF Leave a commentThe American Alpine Club is pleased to announce a Call for Applications for the 2014 Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Grant.

A special thanks to Black Diamond and Petzl for supporting this grant through special merchandise deals for the recipients.

The Zack Martin Breaking Barriers Grant (ZMBB) is a dual-purpose grant fund. The primary objective is humanitarian and the secondary objective is climbing, alpinism and/or exploration in the natural environment. The grantee must meet both objectives and is strongly encouraged to obtain additional funding. The humanitarian objective must be reasonable, and sustainable. Objectives that continue after implementation will receive the highest level of consideration. Focus the objective to affect the greatest human change. The alpine objective should focus on climbing and/or exploration but need not be at the leading edge of climbing or alpinism.
Zack Martin died just before his 25th birthday on Thanksgiving Day 2002. He was a recipient of AAC grants, the Anatoli Boukreev grant and others. Zack was concerned about the general arrogance and self-serving aspirations of climbers and explorers. He committed that on all future expeditions he would not only climb and explore but more importantly he would perform humanitarian service in the local community. He would “break a barrier” in the alpine environment and “break a barrier” in the heart of man. As Zack often said, “The only barrier holding you back is yourself.”

ANNOUNCING THE ACADEMY FOR PARK & RECREATION ADMINISTRATION BEST DISSERTATION AWARD ANNUAL COMPETITION
Posted: March 18, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: #AAPRA, Academic degree, American Academy for Parks & Recreation Administration, Doctorate, education, Recreation, Thesis Leave a comment
The Academy (AAPRA) is an organization of distinguished practitioners and scholars committed to the advancement of the park and recreation field. We have three primary purposes:
1. The purpose of the Academy is to advance knowledge related to the administration of public parks and recreation.
2. To encourage scholarly efforts both by practitioners and educators to enhance the practice of public parks and recreation administration, and to promote broader public understanding of the importance of public parks and recreation to the public good.
3. To conduct research, publish scholarly papers, and/or sponsor seminars related to the advancement of public parks and recreation administration.
DESCRIPTION: In light of the Academy’s focus, we host an annual competition that alternates yearly between best paper and best doctoral dissertation. In even numbered years (e.g. 2014) we host the BEST DOCTORAL DISSERTATION AWARD.
TIMELINE: The Call for Papers goes out to colleges and universities that have known parks and recreation degree programs each year. In March, students submit abstracts/executive summaries for consideration. The Selection Committee narrows down the submissions to the top three entries and, in May those students are invited to submit a copy of the dissertation. Competition participants are notified in early July as to the status of their entry. A presentation to the awardee is made at the AAPRA Annual Business meeting, which is held in conjunction with the National Recreation and Park Association Annual Congress each fall.
THE AWARD:
The Best Dissertation Award Winner receives $1,000 and up to $500 to assist with travel expenses to the Annual Meeting. In addition, the Academy works to have the executive summary published in a professional publication. The two Runners-Up receive public recognition and Certificates of Merit for their outstanding work.
BEST PAPER/BEST DISSERTATION AWARD COMPETITION
ELIGIBILITY
1. For the dissertation award, the submission must have been written as a dissertation in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a doctoral degree.
2. The paper must have been completed in the previous two (2) calendar years (2012 or 2013).
3. The paper should make a contribution to scholarly literature and have clear implications for the improved practice of park and recreation administration.
4. The writer of the winning paper must personally attend the Academy’s annual meeting during the National Recreation and Park Association’s Annual Congress and present a five (5) minute synopsis of the paper.
ENTRY PROCEDURE
1. An electronic copy of an executive summary of the paper, not exceeding 1000 words is be submitted to the Chair of the Academy’s Best Paper Award Committee (Chris Nunes, Ph.D, CPRE Director of Parks and Recreation, The Woodlands Township, Texas at cnunes@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov). Summaries exceeding this word limit will not be considered. Submittals are due no later than March 14, 2014.
2. Only the title of the paper should appear on the executive summary (no personally identifying information). Include a separate cover page that identifies the: student’s name, current email address and phone number; guiding professor’s name, current email address and phone number; date on which the paper was completed; and title of the paper.
3. The Academy’s Best Paper Award Committee will undertake a blind review of the executive summary.
4. Writers of the three (3) executive summaries that receive the highest ratings will be requested to submit a full electronic copy of their paper to the Committee Chair. The committee will then review each paper and select the winner.
REVIEW CRITERIA
A committee of Academy members will evaluate the executive summaries and the invited full papers using the following weighted scoring system:
1. RELATIONSHIP TO PARK AND RECREATION ADMINISTRATION (15 pts)
The subject matter must relate to park and recreation administration in some way. While it may use a separate disciplinary approach – for example, management, marketing, economics, financing, evaluation, or social psychology – it must have relevance to park and recreation administration in the broad context. Given these parameters, is the topic timely and of importance?
2. QUALITY OF THE PROBLEM DEVELOPMENT (25 pts)
The methodology should be clearly presented and demonstrate knowledge of techniques appropriate to the research and its objectives (research questions, hypotheses). Methodological quality should be judged in the context of the discipline and appropriateness to the study. For example, economic studies are likely to utilize a different methodology from those pertaining to management. Similarly, ease study, quantitative, historical, and phenomenological studies will adopt different methodologies.
3. CREATIVE APPROACH (20 pts)
The study should make a creative contribution to the discipline and/or profession. Does the study examine a new problem? Does the study make a creative contribution to the knowledge of park and recreation administration? Does the study use new techniques to examine an old problem? Does the study extend the topic beyond our present understanding?
4. USEFULNESS AND APPLICABILITY (20 pts)
While the development of theory is important, the study should have implications for the improved practice of park and recreation administration. This criterion is concerned with measuring the application to practice.
5. QUALITY OF PRESENTATION (20 pts)
The quality of the writing, including readability and use of graphics, is measured by this criterion. Although technical jargon may be necessary, practitioners should understand the writing. Overall organization, continuity and clarity, along with the quality of the style and grammar fall within this criterion.

EPA Region 8 is launching an Earth Day poster contest in conjunction with the 2014 EPA Earth Day theme of climate change, and with the EPA Climate Change in Focus Video Contest.
Posted: March 15, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Climate, Climate change, Denver, Earth Day, Environment, Environmental Education, EPA, EPA Climate Change in Focus Video Contest, EPA Region 8, Poster, Sea level, United States Environmental Protection Agency 1 CommentTheme of the Poster Contest: What are the impacts of climate changes in my area? The Earth’s climate is getting warmer. Rain patterns are changing, sea level is rising, and snow and ice are melting sooner in the spring. As global temperatures continue to rise, we are likely to see more changes in our climate and our local environment. These changes have the potential to affect people, animals, and ecosystems in many ways. To enter the poster contest, represent the climate change impacts in your area on a poster using the art medium of your choice (drawing, painting, photograph, fiber, mixed media, etc.).
All posters will be displayed, and the winners will be announced, at an event on Monday, April 28, from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the EPA Region 8 Regional Office in Denver, CO.

Colorado Trout Unlimited: Great News on the Fraser River in Colorado

Celebrate A Major Victory for the Fraser River!The Fraser River is an outstanding trout fishery that has been treasured by generations of Coloradoans and even drew President Eisenhower to the area to fish in an area known as his “Western White House”. Now it is poised to enjoy a renaissance and a future worthy of its storied past. After years of persistence and hard work – negotiations, public outreach, research, community organizing, lobbying – TU has announced a major deal with Denver Water and Grand County that will bring a new spirit of collaboration – along with significant financial and water resources – to conserving and restoring the Fraser River watershed.
For the past decade, TU has been working to secure just those kinds of protections. We identified three core issues for the river: avoiding excessively warm water temperatures that threaten trout and other coldwater species; ensuring adequate “flushing flows” to keep stream beds from becoming clogged by sediment; and including a long-term monitoring and adaptive management program to deal with future challenges that might not be foreseen based on limited information today. Over the years we had moments of promise and others where things looked bleak – but we never stopped pushing for the protections we knew the Fraser River needed. Now, we can celebrate an agreement that addresses all three challenges and helps secure a bright future for the Fraser. The new agreement, called the Mitigation and Enhancement Coordination Plan, builds on other commitments Denver Water has previously made to address issues facing the Fraser. Under the agreement, Denver Water will provide additional instream flows during key summer months to help keep water temperatures from rising too high. They will use the flexibility built into their extensive water diversion system to help meet target peak flows to help flush sediment and maintain habitat. All of this will take part through a new collaboration called “Learning By Doing” that includes long-term monitoring, financial and water contributions from Denver Water, and cooperative management to adjust conservation and mitigation efforts over time to minimize impacts and maximize benefits for the Fraser River. Importantly, Denver has agreed to propose Learning By Doing as a condition of its federal permit for the Moffat Project – meaning that the commitment to this effort will be secure not only today, but for the future. Through this Plan and the parallel agreements, the Fraser and Upper Colorado will have an impressive package of protections and enhancements to help secure their future: Mitigation Measures: · Measures to address stream temperature issues: o Monitor stream temperatures and bypass up to 250 AF of water annually if stream temperatures reach state standards o Bypass sufficient additional flows to reach defined minimum flows if stream temperature problem persists after the 250 AF have been bypassed o Contribute $1 million to additional projects if temperature problems persist · Measures to address sediment issues: o Work to provide flushing flows as recommended in Grand County’s Stream Management Plan o Operate and maintain sediment pond that catches highway traction sand o Contribute $1 million to additional projects if sediment problems persist · $750,000 for fish habitat restoration projects · $72,500 for fish barrier and restoration of cutthroat habitat plus any additional measures required by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in its Biological Opinion Enhancement Measures: · Through Learning by Doing, implement an extensive monitoring program including stream temperature, sediment transport, benthic macroinvertebrates, and riparian areas and wetlands · Use Denver Water’s system operation flexibility to address identified problems while maintaining water yield · Provide in-kind contributions of people, equipment and material to benefit Learning by Doing · $3.25 million for aquatic habitat improvement projects ($1.25 million available before the project is built) · $2 million for water quality projects (available before the project is built) · $1 million to pump water at Windy Gap to Granby for release for the benefit of the Colorado River below Granby and below Windy Gap Reservoir · $2 million for stream improvement projects in the Colorado River · $1 million for the Colorado River Wild and Scenic Stakeholder effort in the Colorado River · 1000 AF of water each year released from Denver Water’s Fraser collection system for the benefit of Fraser basin streams · 1000 AF of water each year released from Williams Fork reservoir (including up to 2,500 AF of carryover storage) for the benefit of the Colorado River below its confluence with Williams Fork It has been a long road, and one that we haven’t travelled alone. Our conservation allies have been steadfast in their shared commitment to this watershed. Grand County has been a remarkable example of local government leadership in protecting the values of their home waters. Local landowners have contributed their time, expertise, resources, and political support – standing up for their local watershed and community. Denver Water, while we didn’t always see eye to eye, maintained an open door for dialogue and has stepped up to address its impacts in good faith. We deeply appreciate the contributions of all of our partners to this milestone victory for a treasured river.
I’m very proud of what “Team TU” has accomplished together —national staff, state council and grassroots all working together. Mely Whiting of TU’s Colorado Water Project has put blood, sweat and tears into this campaign for years, attending countless meetings, crunching mind-numbing technical data, and negotiating the shoals of the federal permitting process. Our Council staff and volunteer leaders like Sinjin Eberle have helped at every step with negotiations and public education. TU’s Colorado River Headwaters Chapter and its president, Kirk Klancke, spoke eloquently about the Fraser at every opportunity and spearheaded chapter-led restoration projects. (Kirk’s passionate advocacy was the subject of a recent National Geographic profile online.) At all levels, TU has been working together to protect the Fraser and Upper Colorado. This agreement comes just over a year after a similar agreement was reached with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District on its Windy Gap Firming Project – including extensive river protections and mitigation for the Upper Colorado River, including a shared vision for reconnecting the Colorado River through the current Windy Gap dam to restore fish passage, create improved habitat, and enhance water quality. Collectively, these agreements and the long-term cooperation envisioned under Learning by Doing give us a chance to truly protect and restore a priceless part of Colorado’s river heritage. While this is a major turning point, our work in the Fraser basin and Upper Colorado is far from over. With both the Moffat and Windy Gap projects, we need to secure final federal permits that reflect the agreements reached with Denver and Northern. Your voice in urging the Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation to honor these agreements and lend their support and force of law to the effort will be vital. Beyond that, we will have the long-term work of collaborating with Denver, Northern, Grand County, local landowners, and community partners for ongoing monitoring, cooperative water management, leveraging of additional financial and volunteer resources, and completing projects to improve river health. These agreements provide the framework and opportunity for future success – and ensure TU has a place at the table moving forward – but it will take our continued committed efforts to truly achieve the full potential of these victories for Colorado’s rivers. Your continued support and involvement with TU will make that possible, and I thank you for helping us to make a difference. Sincerely,
David Nickum CTU Executive Director |

Want to make more money in retail? Then tell your clients that what helmet they purchase will affect their head. Spend more money, usually, and get more protection
Posted: February 19, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Concussion, first aid, Football helmet, Giro, helmet, Helmets, Impact, Journal of Neurosurgery, Kali, Lazer, Manufacturing, MIPS, Riddell, Softshell Leave a commentWant to make more money in retail? Then tell your clients that what helmet they purchase will affect their head. Spend more money, usually, and get more protection
I am dismayed that some manufacturers, and many retailers sell helmets on price. A study recently showed that two helmets that both passed the requisite test, protected people from concussions at vastly different rates. Are you selling protection to people or just satisfying their need to think they are protecting themselves or their children?
The study was written about in Study Shows Concussion Risk ‘Dependent on Helmet’. The study can be found in the Journal of Neurosurgery and was titled “Can helmet design reduce the risk of concussion in football?: Technical note”. Simply stated a comparison was made between two helmets manufactured by the same company. Both helmets met all the requirements to be sold and used playing football.
However, one helmet had 54% fewer concussions by the players than the other!
Buying a helmet is not just putting something on a kid’s head and saying it looks good or is “pretty.” As a retailer, you have no legal obligation, but I think a great big ethical obligation to inform parents and purchases that there is a difference in the protection that helmets can provide.
There are helmets that are doing more than just passing the required tests.
Giro has a new helmet for skiing: Combyn™ helmet has a softshell design creating a greater range of hits that can be protected as well as greater over-all coverage for your head.
Lazer is coming out with several models for kids and adults with the MIPS protection system in the helmet. Ski helmets with MIPS will be Mozo DLX and Dissent DLX. Bike helmets with MIPS are P’Nut and Nut’Z kids helmets (available now) and the Beam and Helium (available spring for Beam and later in 2014 for Helium)
Kali Helmets: Kali is coming up with some new ideas in helmet technology that will change the way helmets perform.
MIPS: If you need a helmet for any sport that is not a DOT helmet, get one with MIPS inside. Testing shows it will make a difference.
Do Something
If you are serious about protecting your head, you need to drop the cash necessary to get a good helmet. Find out what each helmet does and which one fits. Don’t worry about what it looks like. A helmet’s job is to keep your head looking the same way, so don’t worry about how you look wearing the helmet. Just be happy to take it off.

Snowshoe.com has a great handout to promote snowshoeing and help beginners and experts enjoy the sport. On top of that, it provides a few safety tips.

Laminated card is easy to keep in a pocket or next to your snowshoes so you can review it before each snowshoe trip.
This is a great idea for beginners and will help people get into snowshoeing a little easier. But what I really like is the few simple safety tips.
The checklist has safety gear listed as Essential and then a section on Optional Safety Gear.
On the back is just a few reminders to keep beginners safe and as a reminders to experts.
Good job Snowshoe.com
