Happy Birthday Mom!!! I love you, you little pig.
Hello.....Well, we have not been washed away by toxic muck yet, so that is good. Yesterday there was a town meeting concerning Leadville's mess....oh and what a mess it is. The EPA, the BOR and the CDPHE were all there and pointing fingers on who is to blame. Who owns what and blah blah blah. Our County Commissioner, Ken Olsen, finally stood up and said that he didn't care who's fault it was or who had the rights to what.....he just wanted them to all get along for now and fix the problem now. The people that are living in the trailer park where the drainage tunnel is are living in fear daily. Olga, who works with me at the Columbine brought her two kids to work with her on Monday because they didn't have school and she was afraid for them to be home alone....just in case. Since then, Olga, her family and some friends have moved into the apartment upstairs from the Columbine. They can stay there as long as they need. There are still over 200 people out there though. Friday night Lake County is testing their sirens and having an evacuation meeting for the trailer park residents.
It is such a shame that this problem has been going on for as long as it has and that the officials contunue to do nothing about it except talk, write letters and as the BOR said...they are writing a study about this that should be done somewhere around June or July. Really????
