30 years ago – September 21, 1984
Despite the chilly weather, 82 people attended the open house at the Gilpin County Library last Sunday afternoon. Pat Dunn, who helped set up the event, said she and the library board were “very pleased” with the turnout for the open house that marked the library’s sixth anniversary. People were able to enjoy lots of good food under an outdoor canopy and to content themselves with looking through the books inside the building. The library has recently purchased 125 new books. Sunday, 53 books were checked out and 22 new cards were issued. The library board is asking voters to approve a mill levy on property taxes, not to exceed 1-1/2 mills. The issue will be on the November ballot.
Tim Logan, 27, is one of the few people who can actually call himself a Rollinsville native. Having lived there all his life, he undoubtedly knows about Gilpin County roads and he is the county’s new assistant supervisor for the road and bridge department. He has worked on the road crew since 1976, with a one year break in 1981-82. As assistant supervisor, he still works out in the field. He supervises field projects when Supervisor Bob Dornbrock cannot be there, and if Dornbrock is absent from work for any reason, Logan takes charge. Logan believes the rapport between the department and the public is now better than it used to be. The department will respond if people have complaints. Problems cannot always be corrected, but Logan is willing to at least talk and try to work with the people. Logan lives in Rollinsville with his wife Shirley, who drives a bus for the Nederland schools. They have two children, a 4-month old son and a 3-year old daughter.
