30 years ago – November 1, 1985
Joel Anderle and Brent Price were named September employees of the month by the Colorado Department of Highways and have been nominated for employees of the year awards. While working in Boulder on June 19, they spotted smoke coming from the roof of Children’s World, a day care center and school. They grabbed a fire extinguisher from their truck and alerted the teachers, who were unaware of the danger. By the time the fire department arrived, Anderle and Price had helped evacuate the building. About 70 children, ages 2 to 10, were inside. The roof fire was extinguished before serious damage was done. Joel Anderle is the son of Joe and Ruthann Anderle of Gilpin County. In his spare time he works as a reserve officer with the Central City Police Department. Last spring, Anderle was nominated for employee of the month after saving an Aurora man from an avalanche in the Loveland Pass area.
Correction: In last week’s Register-Call, Paul Felton was called the “former” Street, Road, and Water Commissioner of the City of Black Hawk. That pronouncement was premature. Although Felton has submitted a letter of resignation to the City Council, he is still working for the city. No effective date has been set for the resignation, and in fact, he and the council are investigating the possibility that he will continue his city employment on a part-time basis.
