As a business owner for over 30 years here's a suggestion, which you already may have thought of. A big blackboard/sign outside advertising homemade specials such as Chicken Curry Soup, organic lasagna, Thai soup, foccacio stuffed with gorgonzola with rosemary, fresh gingerbread with lavender cream, etc. Think deli at Wild Oats. Also, I run the Miracle Bistro, which is an event you may be interested in doing. Every 2 weeks we have a great theme, be it Moroccan or Hawaiian or cabin/camp cooking. The multi course meal is served and each person gets to present something new about themselves, be it a poem, a song, an idea, or a thing. It brings everyone together no matter what their age and builds community. Would love to talk with you. All about community success and fun, Lacey I just love your coffee shop!

And for you locals who blow us walkers off the road... 10 mph over the speed limit is not allowed in a Subdivision. Please leave early for work. B.

The newly infected trees must be cut and covered or removed out of the area to control the spread of the beetles. I have been involved in beetle control near Pinecliffe for the past 25 years and have been relatively successful by removing all infected trees. This year, Ponderosa pine trees were also hit as they were several years in the past. By thinning trees now and removing the infected trees, we have a chance of retaining a lot of the lodgepole trees as well as the Ponderosa trees. An important part of the battle at the beetle is for neighbors to work together to cut and remove the infected trees. Our neighbors to the north and west of our land have been cooperative but residents to the south of Pinecliffe in Gilpin County have been slow to respond and all of us will pay in the long run. The challenge is here and we should move now. The results may be better than what the doom and gloomers predict. Also the weather conditions could change and be of help in stopping the onslaught. It has happened before.
