30 years ago – January 2, 1987
Warm weather, blue skies and many days have brought people outside in abundance during the last week. Main Street in Central City looked more like a day in the springtime than it did in the middle of winter. The streets and shops were crowded with people enjoying the weather and the holidays. As the week ended, and the holiday season concluded, things began to return to a slower pace that is more typical of the winter months. If the weather continues, January in 1987 might prove to be a repeat of the weather last January. The temperatures ranged between 50 and 65 degrees a year ago. It was not a disappointment to very many Gilpinites who are more used to shoveling snow time and time again in the winter. If the weather continues, it probably will not be a disappointment this coming January either.
Kathryn Lorenz of Black Hawk and Stephen Hickel of Shawnee recently were named to the Colorado Association of School Boards Honor Roll on the recommendation of their fellow board members. Lorenz is president of the Gilpin County RE-1 board of education. Hickel is secretary of the Platte Canyon board. Awards were presented at the association’s annual convention banquet in Colorado Springs on December 8. Individuals named to the Honor Roll are recognized for their interest in the education of the children of their communities and for their service on behalf of public education.
