Rockies great Todd Helton to speak at TSJC dinner
By Toni DeAngelis
Special to The Chronicle-News
Major League Baseball star
Todd Helton will speak at the
Trinidad State Educational Foun-
dation annual Fun & Friendraiser
dinner event entitled “Aim for the
Fence” on Saturday, February 28,
2015. The Fun & Friendraiser is a
social evening for the community
to come enjoy a night of friends,
entertainment and excitement all
in support of Trinidad State. The
gala event will
feature a recep-
tion and silent
auction begin-
ning at 6 p.m. as
well as a limited
opportunity for
autographs from
Mr. Helton with
dinner follow-
ing at 7 p.m. and
then the high-
light of the event,
the address from
honored speaker,
Todd Helton.
Todd Helton
played his entire
17-year career for the Colorado
Rockies retiring in 2013. He is a
Major League baseball icon and
was a five-time All Star, four-time
Silver Slugger, and three-time
Gold Glove Award winner. He led
the Colorado Rockies on a dramat-
ic World Series run in 2007 and is
known across Colorado and Ma-
jor League Baseball as a team and
clubhouse leader.
Helton holds Colorado Rock-
ies club records for hits (2,519),
home runs (369), doubles (592),
walks (1,335), runs scored (1,401),
RBIs (1,406), games played (2,247),

egories. Helton hit his 2,000-career
hit against the Atlanta Braves on
May 19, 2009, and his 2,500-career
hit against the Cincinnati Reds on

Helton was recently honored

his number retired in the team’s
twenty-one year history. He is

their home and Col-
orado in turn has
adopted him as one

history with every
coal camp having at least one
competitive team, plus Trinidad
State has a strong baseball pro-
gram with last year’s team win-
ning Region IX,” said Educational

Zapanti. “The TSJC Educational
Foundation is so pleased to bring
Todd Helton to Trinidad to share
his 17-year history with the Rock-
ies with us. Mr. Helton exemplifies
all that baseball should be and we
are thrilled he will be sharing it
with us.” Photo courtesy of Trinidad State

Are you military, police, or ser-
viceman?Doyourideamotorcycle
and are you looking for something
fun to do and make new friends? If
you answered yes to any of these
questions, then the Expendables is
a perfect fit for you.
Many people’s assumption,
right or wrong, is that most of the
individuals who belong to a mo-
torcycle club are a bunch of thugs
who will bust you up thoroughly if
you so much as look at one of them
the wrong way. So its stereotypi-
cally instinctual to feel fear when
a swarm of big guys with tattoos
and giant beards wearing leather
jackets roar into your rearview
mirror on their loud, modified mo-
torcycles. And when most think
of the Expendables, the first thing
that comes to mind is the movie
starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason
Statham and Stone Cold Steve
Austin that pays tribute to the
blockbuster action films genre of
the late 80’s and 90’s. This is nei-
ther of that. This isn’t your stereo-
typical motorcycle gang and these
Expendables aren’t from the mov-
ies.
These Expendables are a non-
profit motorcycle club that coor-
dinates charity rides and fund
raisers to help benefit their com-
munities. The group is based on
the values of true friendship, re-
spect, and brotherhood; promotes
camaraderie and loyalty between
all service fields, and is made up of
current and former federal, state,
and local police, military, fire,
EMS and corrections who have
served their departments with
honor, respect, and dignity.
A motorcycle club, for many, is
like an extended family. Having a
sense of belonging and being part
of something bigger is something
that most search for their entire
lives.

Las Animas County Depart-

tor, Arlene Lopez, continued to
chronicle an increased workload
and a deteriorating work place in
the Department of Human Servic-
es (DHS) quarterly report to Las
Animas County Commissioners
Tuesday.
In terms of Medicaid, DHS is
now handling over 2,678 cases and
the amount of benefits paid over
the year of 2014 was nearly $21 mil-
lion dollars. In earlier reports Lo-
pez thought
that expand-
ed terms for
qualifying
for the pro-
gram had led
to the rise in
cases, but she
also pointed
to other fac-
tors and oth-
er increases
across her
department.
“They (the
M e d i c a i d
caseworkers)
give me a list
every month,
and it seems
that there are
about 100 more cases a month that
they have to process. The same
with food stamps, about 100 new
cases per month, and that could be
that they’re adding another pro-
gram to their existing household,
or it’s a new household coming
into the system. It’s a constant liv-

You were the kind

And memories are

For it is in happy

The heart finds its

“We are so happy to welcome Todd Hel-
ton to Trinidad as we celebrate our 90th an-
niversary [this year],” said Trinidad State
Junior College President Dr. Carmen Sim-
one. “He’s the kind of role model we hope
our students will emulate as they graduate
and move on with their lives.”
The Fun & Friendraiser gala event is
open to the public. Due to the Trinidad State
athletic schedule and an anticipated larger
crowd, this year’s event will be held at Trin-
idad High School’s Donnelly Gymnasium.
Tickets for the event are $75 per person. Cor-
porate sponsorship levels are also available.
Tickets must be purchased in advance. For

The Trinidad State Junior College Edu-
cational Foundation is a private, non-profit
corporation founded in 1968 to raise and
manage private gifts for TSJC. Made up of a
diversegroupofvolunteercommunitymem-
bers, the Foundation invites the private sec-
tor to participate in events designed to ben-
efit the College and its students. Through
the years, the Foundation has made notable
contributions to student scholarships, in-
structional programs, professional develop-
ment, building improvements, and campus
beautification projects. Proceeds from the
gala event benefit the Educational Founda-
tion in its mission to support the growth and
development of Trinidad State.
cus is to promote a positive image that is
respected in the community and through-
out the country, while promoting family,
friendship and camaraderie. “We want to
expand our membership and recruit more
members to help serve the community,”
said Trinidad Chapter President, John
“Bulldog” Murnane who serves as a correc-
tional officer at the Trinidad Correctional
Facility. “What we are hoping to do is to
get people interested in the club and then
for us to help them out. We want to help
cancer patients at the hospital, help raise
money for local charities, things like that.
It’s a worthwhile organization to benefit
and set positive examples for everybody in
the community.“
Murnane says the club has already par-
ticipated in a couple different fundraisers
with different clubs around the state and
that they also have a handful of different
fundraisers and events lined up in 2015.
The club is always looking for more to get
into and even started reaching out to differ-
ent organizations around Trinidad to see if
they could get involved in some of the ac-
tion and lend a hand.
The thought behind it all is that when a
fund raising opportunity or large commu-
nity event comes up, Murnane wants The
Expendables to be some of the first people
called to come help.
“We want to be a positive face in the
community,” said Murnane.”We are all
about helping and giving back. Everything
we do is for charity and giving to those who
need help. We are setting up different plans
and seeing what the community needs, and
we have a bunch of things lined up. We got
St. Baldrick’s coming up, that’s a big thing
for us. I was talking to Dave Bacharach at
the Fire Department here. He helps coordi-
nate the children’s toy run and fund raisers
for the department and he said that another
local motorcycle group used to help out but
dropped it; so next year and I said we want
to be involved in that to help the kids.”
“So far we’ve done four different
rides for different charities,” said Char-
lie “Snowman” Snow, who serves as the
club’s treasurer. “We did one for a little
girl, Brooklyn; and we raised more money
for that little girl than any other ride we’ve
ever been on.” Brooklyn has rare condition
that causes her joints to fuse, and it’s aw-
ful painful and treatment for is extremely
expensive. Snow said it was one of the most
rewarding rides he’s ever been on. “We did
our ride on a Saturday and she turned five
that Sunday and all day we rode around,
she never lost her cool or her smile; she was
a trooper. There were three other groups
and the Expendables took home first, sec-
ond and third place prizes in the competi-
tions and we gave all the prizes back to her.
It’s just a great thing for the community
and we are excited to be here,” he finished.
The Expendables were founded in Nash-
ville, TN approx. 15 years ago with Trini-
dad officially being sworn in on November
1, 2014. The club has hundreds of chapters
in 46 different states and even one in Ku-
wait. Like many exclusive organizations,
the Expendables do keep some deal of se-
crecy involving the inner workings of their
group, however enough has been written to
give a basic idea of what’s required to join.
Officially, you must:
■ Be 21 years of age or older and of good
character
■ Have valid drivers license with motor-
cycle endorsement
■ Own and operate a motorcycle capa-
ble of traveling interstate speeds
■ Must have met one of the following re-
quirements:
■ Current or former federal, state or lo-
cal agent, police or correctional officer
■ Current or former military service,
serving honorably
■ Employed as firefighter, ems or public
service provider
■ Members can also bring spouse into
club
Meetings for the Expendables are held
every second Saturday at 7 p.m. at Brix
Sports Bar on Main Street in Trinidad.
Anybody fitting the mold and interested in
joining is invited to attend. “We will kick
off our bike run season on Memorial Day
weekend and will get runs going every
weekend or whenever we can. We just want
to be a positive light in the community,”
said Murnane.
ing, breathing thing over there with Medic-
aid and food stamp benefits,” said Lopez in
earlier reports.
Tuesday, Lopez said much the same when
asked about the rise in caseloads for her de-
partment. “Everyday it’s new faces walking
in. And staff say everyday their seeing new
people.” Commissioner Mack Louden asked
ifLopezsawaplateautotheriseinsight.“We
really don’t know where these new people
are coming from, or why,” said Lopez.
Lopez educated the commissioners on
a state ordered desk audit of background
checks on foster homes. Lopez said all homes
were cleared and detailed the qualification
required for foster care providers.
The meeting then took a familiar turn as
the commissioners and Lopez began to docu-
ment the deteriorating condition of the Hu-
man Services offices: A tilting floor, a faulty
furnace and a number of costly fixes. “We’re
just hoping it doesn’t get worse before we
get out of there,” was Lopez’ common reply.
County Administrator Leanne Fabec stated
the DHS was still slated to move to another
facility, with it’s own history of problems,
this year.
“That’s been the one of the most upsetting
things I’ve faced since I’ve been here. We’ve
never had a line item for maintenance since
I’ve been here,” said Commissioner Gary
Hill. “I know the money crunch we’re in. But
when you have a house, you have to account
for maintenance.”
