In this second episode of a three-part series, we highlight how rural communities are navigating the obstacles they face in accessing the influx of federal funding coming to Colorado in the wake of COVID-19. These rural communities are meeting the challenge by working together along with the assistance of nonprofit partners. Almost two decades ago, El Pomar Foundation established a regional partnership program bringing members from a diverse range of backgrounds who represent the business, nonprofit and public sectors together to provide firsthand information about the needs in their region. They offer the kind of insights that can only come from living, working and volunteering at a local level. This program is now being utilized to assess and address the unprecedented needs and challenges of rural communities following the COVID-19 pandemic.Learn more about this project at El Pomar Foundation.Please help us continue this podcast by making a financial donation to Keystone Policy Center.Listen to previous episodes of this podcast at Keystone's website or by subscribing to it through any podcast provider.

Federal and state lawmakers have dedicated billions of dollars in resources in recent years to address the impacts of COVID-19. But challenges in underfunded, understaffed regions of Colorado reduce the opportunities these communities have to apply for and access this one-time surge in funding. In this first episode of a three-part series, we highlight in-depth the challenges faced by rural communities in Northwest Colorado in trying to apply for and gain access to federal and state resources to address the challenges they face in the wake of COVID-19 as well as the upheaval being caused by the closure of one of the region's premier employers. We also highlight how the shortage of capacity in these individual communities impedes their ability to apply for federal and state stimulus funding.

As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, it leaves in its wake declining public school student enrollment and achievement, local, state, and federal dollars continue to flow to Colorado school districts in ever-larger amounts.

CASA of the 7th Judicial District received a healthy chunk of change for its latest supportive housing project to benefit youths aging out of the foster system. It was just one of many area nonprofits to win grants from the El Pomar Foundation. Among them include the Delta County Public Library District of Hotchkiss, the Delta Montrose Youth Services, the Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League, and the Midwestern Colorado Mental Health Center. In all, the El Pomar awards total $136,000. Now, our feature story. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is launching a management plan to reintroduce gray wolves in the western half of Colorado. Under Proposition 114 they're required to achieve this by December 31, 2023. The Colorado Wildlife Commission has voted to begin creating the management plan. CPW Director, Dan Prenzlow said they'll be doing so with a flexible approach. The controversial Proposition 114 passed by a statewide vote in November 2020. But it worries local livestock communities and officials. Under the new law, CPW must develop the reintroduction plan for designated lands west of the Continental Divide. They also must hold statewide hearings concerning scientific, economic and social considerations, and get public input. Rob Edward, the strategic adviser for the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project, says that he's encouraged, and that if paws aren't on the ground by 2023, the state will have failed to obey the law. The species was extirpated in Colorado in the 1940s. But last year, CPW confirmed at least six wolves in Moffat County. And it remains illegal to kill a wolf in Colorado, despite the animal's delisting as a federally protected species. Montrose County Commissioner Keith Caddy is among those who are concerned about reintroducing the wolf to Colorado. Caddy said the 2023 timeline is too hurried and more time should have been allowed to study where and how to best reintroduce wolves — for the animals' sake, too. According to Caddy, the state needs to go about reintroduction properly, with in-depth studies that cannot be completed within just a few years. He asks -- if you're introducing an animal to an area it's been removed from for nearly 100 years, how do the other entities in the area compete with the wolf in that environment? But Rob Edward insists there is well-established science behind wolf reintroduction. To him, the human element will require continued work and cooperation. Edward says that in places where wolves have been reintroduced, the basics of balancing wolves, livestock production, and hunting are also fairly well established. CPW will begin with a stakeholder process for input.  In addition to public meetings for input, questions and concerns, the state is creating a technical working group and a stakeholder working group to serve as advisory bodies. The stakeholder advisory group will represent a range of viewpoints and geographic areas across the state. It'll also contribute to the plans the technical working group develops. The Wildlife Commission is the decision-making body for plan development and is ultimately responsible for approving the plan.  Caddy is still concerned though, and said “They'll throw the wolves to the wolves in a lot of ways,”  But to Edward's the ballot measure is not going to be re-litigated and it is time to move forward. CPW will be holding a virtual education and listening tour about wolf reintroduction from February through May to share information with the public and provide opportunities for public input on wolf conservation and management.

The Gunnison Tunnel is an irrigation tunnel that was constructed in the early 1900's. The nearly 6 mile long tunnel diverts water from the Gunnison River. When it was completed, it was the longest irrigation tunnel in the world and quickly made the area around Montrose into profitable agricultural lands. And finally, before we go we'd like to take a moment to remember the life of  Charles Hecht. After high school, Chuck joined the United States Army and served in the Korean War. Upon returning, he married Eloris June Smith in Delta, Colorado. They celebrated 34 years of marriage until June's passing in 1997. Chuck and June lived in Arizona, Nebraska, and in Greeley, Julesburg, and Montrose, before moving to Clifton, which was home until they passed.  Chuck enjoyed spending quality time with family, going fishing, taking walks around his neighborhood, and doing what he said he does best — nothing. He was deeply loved and will be missed by all. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Chuck's life. That's all for today, thank you for listening!
