City of Durango Know Your ADU's
The City is conducting a program to inventory and register existing ADUs and Duplexes. Some existing ADUs and Duplexes may have been installed prior to zoning laws and may be legally non-conforming, but many were installed illegally. It is the City's intent to better understand how many of these units exist. The details of the application and registration process for existing ADUs/Duplexes were recently amended by City Council in response to citizen feedback about the process.

Dark Chocolate and Red Mountain Pass
Some of our travel lately has been boring, but we did have the opportunity to visit the mountain town of Ouray, Colorado, home of the elegant Beaumont Hotel. We also drove one of the more treacherous highways in the USA, the Million Dollar Highway which brought us to Red Mountain Pass. Before that however we made a stop at the Russell Stover store in Montrose, Colorado for some dark chocolate.

EPA chief heads to site of toxic river spill amid growing anger, possible legal action
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy is expected to navigate the site of a toxic river spill in Colorado Wednesday amid mounting anger and possible legal action over the spill caused by EPA workers that turned the Animas River a deep mustard color by contaminating it with sludge laden with lead, arsenic and other heavy metals.
McCarthy traveled Wednesday to the southwestern city of Durango, where she was accompanied by attorneys general from Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The attorneys general were to discuss options available to them and could announce legal action against the EPA.

EPA officials have revealed that waste continues to surge from the abandoned Gold King Mine in Durango, Colo., into the river at a rate of up to 700 gallons per minute since the spill, which occurred while an EPA crew was inspecting an abandoned mine near Silverton, Colo., using heavy equipment.
The crew was supposed to pump out and decontaminate the sludge, but instead released it into tiny Cement Creek. From there, it flowed into the Animas River and made its way into larger tributaries, including the San Juan and Colorado rivers.
“I am absolutely deeply sorry that this ever happened, but I want to make sure that we react positively and in a way that’s credible and we move this forward,” McCarthy said Tuesday at a press conference in Washington.
McCarthy said the incident “pains me to no end” and pledged that she would use the “full breadth of the agency” to clean up the mess and committed to a full review to ensure that the type of accident wouldn’t happen again.
The agency estimated that more than 3 million gallons of sludge has already flowed at least 100 miles downstream to New Mexico.
McCarthy’s visit to the area comes amid growing anger from local residents and businesses affected by the accident. Tuesday marked the first day those affected could file claims with the EPA, with many communities and farms forced to stop using river water. It was unclear when the water would be usable again for irrigation.
Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye – head of the nation’s largest Native American reservation which extends into Utah, New Mexico and Arizona – told the Associated Press that farmers no longer had water for corn crops and ranchers were scrambling to get cattle and other livestock away from the polluted San Juan River, while bottled water is becoming increasingly scarce.
When EPA is saying to me it's going to take decades to clean this up, that is how long uncertainty will exist as we drink the water, as we farm the land, as we put our livestock out there near the river, he said. That is just, to me, a disaster of a huge proportion.
The Navajo Nation feels even more slighted given its status as a federally recognized tribe and sovereign nation.
Begaye said he has yet to receive a call from President Obama. It seems like the Obama administration just closed their doors and disappeared, he said.
Heavy metals from Gold King and other defunct mines in Colorado have been leaching out and killing fish and other species for decades as rain and snowmelt spills from abandoned, exposed sites.
The EPA has considered making part of the Animas River in Colorado a Superfund site for a quarter-century.
The designation would have provided more resources for a cleanup, but some people in Colorado opposed the status, fearing the stigma and federal strings attached, so the EPA agreed to allow local officials to lead cleanup efforts instead.
The San Juan River Oct 2012
The first segment has screwy sound so turn your volume down for about 15 seconds.
I was fortunate enough to get invited on a fishing trip to the world famous San Juan river along with 9 other anglers. The trip was organized by my friend Keith M a.k.a. Trout Slayer and also on the trip was Dave, Andrew, and Ben N., Jim, Dirk, Richard, Ron, and Barry. The area is amazing in that it is all about fishing, check out the parking lot full of drift boats and the launch ramp segment on the river. The river itself is a fish factory with tons of large fish that eat very small flies. My boat never fished anything larger than a size 20 but one of the boats did catch fish on streamers. Some notable segments: check out the large trout swimming around the boat in the first fishing segment, around 2:15 you will see why it is smart to use barbless hooks, 3:44 this fish eats a dry fly which is cool because most of the others were on nymphs, and the last fish caught 4:27 is a 20 inch Rainbow caught by Andrew N. My other fishing partner was Richard J who caught a number of fish but the only decent footage was the one in the video. Also, the 2 guides I fished with were Ron and John who were both very knowledgable and have spent years on the river. I beleive they can be booked through Float and Fish Fly Shop in Navajo Dam, NM. If you get a chance to fish this river, go and make sure that you take your little flies.

Our Miss Brooks: Convict / The Moving Van / The Butcher / Former Student Visits
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
