Chinamans Canyon should be renamed, state board recommends

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:38 GMT

The 2.2-mile-long valley in Las Animas County northwest of Trinidad carrying the derogatory “Chinaman” term should be renamed, Colorado’s Geographic Naming Advisory Board unanimously voted Thursday.Board members accepted a proposal to change Chinamans Canyon to Toisan Canyon — a province in southern China where a majority of Chinese immigrants who came to the United States in the 1800s hailed from, many of them working on railroads and in mines across the country, the application for the name change stated.Peggy Lore, representing Colorado Asian Pacific United, submitted the proposal to “recognize the Chinese who were an integral part of the history of Colorado but who, with few exceptions, have remained faceless and nameless,” according to the proposal.Her proposal, submitted Feb. 6, 2022, led to the board’s vote on Thursday. Gov. Jared Polis created the state board in 2020, and it’s tasked with providing recommendations on name change prop...

Denver’s family-owned Kolacny Music to close after nearly a century on South Broadway

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:38 GMT

Family-owned musical instrument store Kolacny Music, which opened almost a century ago, will close at the end of September.Established in 1930, the store at 1900 S. Broadway in Denver has offered a trifecta of services – the sale, rental and repair of band and orchestra instruments – for decades. An announcement made in late July disclosed the news, pegging the closing date as Sept. 30.Co-owner David Kolacny confirmed that the owners of three nearby properties offered to buy the building, but he declined to identify their names or the final sale price.Kolacny’s grandfather, William, first started the business, then passed it on to Kolacny’s father, Richard. In the 1970s, Kolacny came on board, and has worked six or seven days a week for the past 45 years, alongside his sister, Donna, and his wife, Debbie.Financial reasons largely influenced the decision to shutter the store.“We never made a lot of money,” Kolacny said in a Thursday interview. “Our bookk...

More Colorado communities take “forever chemical” makers to court as contamination costs mount

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:38 GMT

CASTLE ROCK — They stand at least 30 feet tall and 10 feet across, eight giant baby blue tanks filled with what is this fast-growing town’s best defense against a glut of industrial cancer-causing chemicals that have been accumulating and percolating for half a century.Called GACs, short for “granular activated carbon” filters, the tanks at Castle Rock’s main water purification facility are effective at absorbing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances — toxic and pervasive chemicals known by the shorthand PFAS — and removing them from drinking water.“It just so happens that one of the things the GAC filters are good at is filtering out PFAS,” Mark Marlowe, Castle Rock’s water director, said this week. “It’s definitely a big challenge because these chemicals are fairly difficult to remove.”And expensive — which is why Castle Rock’s town council on Tuesday chose to retain the services of a...

Extra water will ensure good rafting on Colorado’s busiest river through Labor Day weekend

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:38 GMT

An already excellent year for rafting conditions on the Arkansas River is receiving a boost to its flow levels through Labor Day, ensuring outfitters on Colorado’s leading whitewater river will have sufficient flows to operate through the holiday weekend.Because the water level must be drawn down at the Twin Lakes Reservoir to enable repairs on a power plant there, flows downstream through the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area will be augmented, according to Bob Hamel, executive director of the Arkansas River Outfitters Association. The Arkansas is far and away the rafting river in Colorado, accounting for nearly 248,000 user days in 2022, more than 45% of the state’s total number.It has been a good year for rafting already thanks to an above-average Colorado snowpack, a cool wet spring that kept runoff gradual and steady, frequent rain in early summer and now the monsoon. The added flow from the drawdown at Twin Lakes will be a boon for rafters.“We have some sup...

Pleasanton eyes local tax measure — how did it get here?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:38 GMT

How did Pleasanton get here?That was one question posed by a resident during a City Council meeting Tuesday when the panel gave city staff the green light to explore placing a possible tax measure on a ballot next year.City officials will next take the temperature of the community through public opinion polls and other informational campaigns to determine what type of measure — local sales tax, hotel tax or bond, among possible revenue options — may be successful with voters.The city is studying a tax or bond measure as it stares down projections that show the city in coming years spending more money than it takes in.“Why are we in this situation?” Mayor Karla Brown said at the meeting. “One of them is COVID.”Pleasanton lost $11 million in hotel tax revenue during the last three years of the coronavirus pandemic, Brown said, and the industry has been slow to recover to pre-pandemic levels.Sales tax revenue has not been high enough to meet the city...
