The Hindman Settlement School has recently seen its budget cut by a third due to cost-cutting measures&#8230;
&#8212; Former assistant Pike County attorney Donald Kyle Deskins has reached a plea deal that will see his murder case dismissed in exchange for an Alford plea to an evidence tampering charge
was scheduled to go on trial Monday for murder and two counts of evidence tampering related to the death of his wife
The case had already gone to trial once last year
but ended in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict
Special prosecutor Tony Skeans told Mountain Top News that Deskins will enter an Alford plea to one count of evidence tampering in exchange for the other charges being dropped
An Alford plea is when a defendant maintains his innocence but admits that the prosecution could likely obtain a guilty verdict
Skeans said he is recommending that Deskins serve five years for the charge
The other charges are being dismissed without prejudice
meaning they could be brought back at a later time
that would be up to a different prosecutor
Formal sentencing will take place June 5 in Hazard

&#8212; Four former Buchanan County coal miners have filed a class action lawsuit against their former employer
alleging their terminations were in violation of federal law
Timothy Vance and William Stiltner filed the lawsuit in federal court in Abingdon on behalf of themselves and approximately 140 employees who were terminated by Buchanan Minerals on April 28
the company operated six continuous miner units and two longwall units at its Buchanan County mine
the lawsuit alleges the company decided to shut down four of the continuous miner units on April 28
resulting in approximately 140 miners losing their jobs immediately
The miners contend that each unit shut down qualifies as a &#8220;plant closure&#8221; under the federal WARN Act
which requires employees be given 60 days&#8217; written notice before a plant closure resulting in mass layoffs
The lawsuit seeks back pay and statutory damages for all of the miners who were terminated

is one of the most iconic alpine peaks in the world
Wilson Peak is the highest point in San Miguel County
and its image has been used to represent rugged Colorado terrain in a variety of advertising
and local cultural references over the last century
Although the mountain on a Coors can is famous for turning blue when the beer is “as cold as the Rockies,” any blue tones on the actual craggy, snow-covered Wilson Peak are likely just a reflection of the sky. With that being said, there is still a lot to learn and love about this <a title="Famous Colorado Mountains" href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/famous-colorado-mountains/">iconic mountain</a>
Let&#8217;s explore the interesting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Peak" target="_blank" rel="noopener">history of Wilson Peak</a> before detailing everything you need to know about visiting the real-life mountain on the Coors Can in southwestern Colorado
the Ute tribe referred to the prominent mountain that is now on the Coors can as “Shandoka,” which translates to “Storm Maker.” Although it was uncommon for peaks in the area to have indigenous names
the Ute tribe recognized that clouds typically formed around the mountain’s top
When Colorado was admitted to the United States in the 1870s
a topographer who was responsible for mapping out a significant amount of the state’s western slope during the Hayden Geological Survey
Since then, Wilson Peak’s image has been used extensively to represent the dramatic nature of the Rocky Mountains on clothing and in local advertisements throughout <a href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/towns/telluride/">Telluride</a> and surrounding towns
On a broader scale, Wilson Peak has also been used extensively in Jeep advertisements and even <a title="Movies filmed in Colorado" href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/movies-filmed-in-colorado/">received significant screen time</a> in Quentin Tarantino’s 2015 film
Since it was founded in 1873, the <a href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/brewery-tours/coors-brewery/">Coors Brewing Company</a> has always used Rocky Mountain scenery as a large part of its brand identity. Aside from Wilson Peak, the company has used both <a href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/waterfalls/fish-creek-falls/">Fish Creek Falls</a> near Steamboat and Milton Falls near Marble on product labels and in advertisements
it was not until the mid-2000s that Wilson Peak made its debut as a part of the Coors Light logo and image
As the company never really made a public statement about their choice
the selection of Wilson Peak is a bit of a mystery
Wilson Peak&#8217;s ruggedness makes it a somewhat obvious choice for representing Rocky Mountain grit
Wilson Peak is located southeast of Telluride, Colorado in the <a href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/national-lands/lizard-head-wilderness/">Lizard Head Wilderness</a> of the Uncompahgre National Forest
It is common to confuse Wilson Peak with Mount Wilson
which is another 14,000-foot mountain located very close to the “Coors” mountain
For the truly adventurous, it&#8217;s also possible to climb Wilson Peak all year round. To reach the top, visitors can hike their way up Wilson Peak from three main approaches, the easiest of which begins at the <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/r02/gmug/recreation/rock-ages-429" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rock of Ages Trailhead</a>
and hikers should start as early as possible to avoid afternoon storms
experienced backcountry skiers enjoy Wilson Peak as a popular Class 3 descent
Along the way up and down Wilson Peak, hikers will see many historic relics of <a title="Colorado Mining History Timeline" href="https://www.uncovercolorado.com/colorado-mining-history-timeline/">Colorado&#8217;s mining boom</a> as well as opportunities to view wildlife
and panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains

Beaver Creek is known for its fine dining at its iconic on-mountain cabin restaurants
but it&#8217;s taking the culinary experience one step further
The Alpine Table: A Cabin Chef Series invites guest chefs from notable restaurants to come to Beaver Creek and create a unique dining experience
we partnered with The Wolf&#8217;s Tailor at Zach&#8217;s Cabin
and the response was incredible—it was a sold-out event that truly resonated with our guests,&#8221; said Eric Dunn
Beaver Creek wanted to build on that success by expanding the series to feature three weekends and six nights of elevated culinary experiences
&#8220;By collaborating with Michelin-recognized restaurants from across the state
we&#8217;re excited to showcase exceptional chefs and unique dining experiences in Beaver Creek&#8217;s unparalleled alpine setting.&#8221;
This Sunday and Monday you&#8217;ll find Blackbelly Market and Restaurant of Boulder and Denver at Beano&#8217;s Cabin
Blackbelly was awarded a Green Star for Sustainable Gastronomy by the Michelin Guide in 2023 and&nbsp;2024
was the winner of one of Bravo&#8217;s &#8220;Top Chef&#8221; competitions
&#8220;Collaborating with Chef Hosea Rosenberg and the Blackbelly team is such an exciting opportunity,&#8221; said Mackenzie Nichols
&#8220;It&#8217;s always inspiring to work with another chef to create a menu that blends our styles and showcases the best ingredients available
Events like The Alpine Table allow us to push the boundaries of what mountain dining can be.&#8221;
To add to the experience, guests will travel via a snowcat-drawn open-air sleigh to and from the restaurant, which is an experience in itself. Get your tickets for Sunday or Monday night at <a href="https://www.beavercreek.com/explore-the-resort/activities/signature-events.aspx" target="_blank">BeaverCreek.com</a> under Signature Events

The Colorado Snowsports Museum will prove it is much more than a museum on Saturday with special programming that spans from meeting live owls and learning about their characteristics to tasting bourbon with local ties to Vail and some cute knit hats to keep out the winter chill

come to the Colorado Snowsports Museum on Friday

a nice warm hat and a swig of bourbon maybe help you heat up
The Colorado Snowsports Museum is hosting a Beanies &amp; Bourbon event on Saturday between 4-6 p.m

Après at The Amp For its third year in a row
Ford Amphitheater has proven that it&#8217;s not just a summer venue
the Swedish pop band that took the world by storm in the 1970s and early 1980s with its hits &#8220;Waterloo,&#8221; &#8220;Take a Chance on Me&#8221; and &#8220;Dancing Queen,&#8221; will virtually..
I want to start out by saying that I don’t think that I speak for the writers or the editor of A News Café when I’m weighing in on the other local media outlets out there
I’m just a person whose eyeballs and ears have endured the continued existence of Sound House recording studio-based nonsense for years
and the hours spent listening to self-indulgent echo chamber rants about imaginary issues are approximately the same valuable contribution one earns through comment wars on social media
At the Shasta County Board of Supervisors meeting June 23
local constituent and frequent meeting attendee Jenny O’Connell witnessed a ridiculous statement from former Board of Supervisors chair/seasoned liar Patrick Henry Jones
The backstory is that Jenny’s husband Benjamin Nowain had been nominated to serve on the Shasta County Elections Commission
and his appointment was up for board discussion
Patrick Jones’ freshest batch of dishonesty was that Jenny and Benjamin Nowain had only wished to see that same commission disbanded
After several angry outbursts from the audience that led to a meeting recess
That meeting could not possibly resume safely
what with Jenny remaining seated and unmoving
dressed in her clearly menacing pink strawberry overalls
quietly sitting on the floor and awaiting a well-deserved apology
The board and county staff have all presumably seen people sitting down before
yet were so ruffled by the situation (and so unwilling to apologize
in the case of Patrick Jones) that Jenny ended up physically carried away by a group of sheriff’s deputies
As angry fellow constituents cheered Jenny on from the atrium
she briefly raised a fist in protest and solidarity
Mountain Top Media’s “journalistic” takeaway
you might just end up wearing grippy socks in a padded room
Here&#8217;s Sawyer explaining to MTM editor Chriss Street her editorial path to create and publish the meme that mocks O&#8217;Connell
starting with getting the OK from Jon Knight
instead of taking cover or concerning himself with those who had just been seriously injured or killed at his rally
Donald Trump’s immediate reaction was to a photo-opportunity: he angrily raised his fist into the sky
I might even suggest a quick look into that photographer’s phone history
Trump’s supporters predictably wasted no time turning that same photo into endless merchandise and political propaganda
I think we’d all suffocate if we held our collective breaths waiting for Trump and his supporters to express any concern whatsoever about the dangers of political violence (other than pearl-clutching outrage about the appalling idea that it could ever affect them)
The <a href="https://phm.org.uk/blogposts/the-raised-fist-a-history-of-the-symbol/#:~:text=This%20idea%20being%20resistance.,popular%20democratic%20struggle%20against%20oppression." target="_blank" rel="noopener">fist-in-the-air gesture</a> symbolizes resistance and historic fights against oppression
Usually when you find examples of this gesture in action
Had you ever even seen a Trump supporter make this gesture
at the horrific-to-them risk of being labeled a “progressive?”
A phrase I’ve heard a fair bit lately is “bad faith.” That’s fitting
usually carried out through specious arguments (the rationale tends to sound okay unless you really think about it)
When groups of people say “Black Lives Matter” because they are sickened from watching police brutality take out people of color without consequence
and someone comfortably living in the safety of a homogeneously Caucasian environment pipes up with “but ALL lives matter,” that’s bad faith
(No one worth talking about has ever attempted to indicate that Black Lives Matter more than other lives
and changing the subject is a bad faith way to avoid engaging with the real issue at hand.)
Mountain Top Media is one local example of bad faith in action
From the comfort of a posh recording studio
no-award-nominated civilians complain about the perceived difficulties plaguing their lives while surrounded by expensive patriotic merchandise
From left to right: Mountain Top Media personalities pose for a group photo at the Sound House
the rhinestone-bedazzled flag tumbler that often accompanies Leslie Sawyer while she suffers endlessly in a country that is absolutely being destroyed by the leftists
and Leslie Sawyer poising with Katie Gorman in front of a product-placement flag
they are quickly swaddled in bad faith and set aside
When it’s a public servant like Kamala Harris
former prosecutor and Senator/Attorney General now serving as Vice President of the United States of America
these “patriots” quickly show their true colors as by mocking and shaming her
when it’s anyone who aligns with their conservative values
our same “patriots” cheer and wrap them in American flags even as they hear things like:
&#8211; The former Republican president was convicted of<a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/05/30/g-s1-1848/trump-hush-money-trial-34-counts" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 34 felonies</a> and has pending cases involving many more, and was found to have committed sexual assault in a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-rape-carroll-trial-fe68259a4b98bb3947d42af9ec83d7db" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civil matter</a>
Mountain Top Media shares another product placement flag behind the head of a man whose only consistent trait has been narcissism
These certainly seem to be the “heroes” Mountain Top Media and its ilk cannot stop drooling over
and I personally reject this faux patriotism
I strongly encourage all of you to resist the urge to click
or even spread awareness through valid criticisms
One of the problems facing the community is a tendency to treat these God/country/family LARPers like a roadside car accident—horrific
Deny them the attention and benefits exposure
maybe even do yourself a sanity favor and block them into oblivion
but especially when “free” is a fitting value for a pretty worthless statement
remember that you can usually still decide what you’ll listen to
The importance of past behavior to the MAGA crowd has been rather selective
It’s not your moral character or basic human decency
but your perceived party preferences that seem to ultimately determine whether a MAGA follower will forgive and forget—or do the exact opposite
Those of you who actually care about real democracy
those of you who want a better life (for EVERYONE
and those of you who want this country to stand for something more meaningful than an hour of badly-articulated kvetching about imaginary problems into a microphone: the time is now
Go watch Kamala Harris deliver <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmd3btOv87k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this important message</a> at her first rally in Wisconsin
If you’ve seen what Shasta County has gone through over the last several years
we have consistently made the news for all the wrong reasons
We’ve watched people put on a whole show of being angry and intimidating
using the internet as a weapon of harassment
trying to take our jobs and our good names by playing dirty and sneaky until we’re so tired of standing for the truth that we want to sit down
so they’ve been altogether too comfortable abusing power and breaking the same rules that actual patriots died to protect
it’s all about law and order—until certain people don’t like the laws or they decide that it’s time to insurrect the order
They think it’s just fine to call lifelong conservative cattle-rancher and dedicated public servant Supervisor Mary Rickert a “RINO” because she committed the grave sin of being so deeply invested in serving her community that she can also resonate effectively with the people who probably wouldn’t agree with her about every political issue
They think it’s just fine to still insult Leonard Moty
the former police chief and county supervisor who was recalled because a bunch of locals started wearing tacky shirts and making cringeworthy documentary propaganda
and Blueprint with its absurd fantasy-footage of life from the perspective of the so-called patriots
If you really want to push your liver to the limit
turn that same docu-series into a drinking game where you just take a tiny little sip each time you see outlandish images of squeaky-clean oversized trucks
expensive boots that have never seen a hard day’s work
or someone talking a big game about the country lifestyle despite not even being from Shasta County or having any real insight beyond the bought-and-paid-for opportunity to smile for a shiny camera
Maybe schedule a doctor’s appointment before you do that
We’ll sit quietly down in the chambers of the Board of Supervisors to make a point about the lies
For all these feisty comments about a “civil war,” it seems that certain violence-obsessed people really haven’t given quite enough thought to what happens if they just keep on attacking the people who have now spent several years trying to keep disagreements peaceful and productive
Still think that our energetic Vice President who is already breaking records for the most campaign donations in presidential election history in a 48-hour period is a worse choice than the person who was recently convicted of 34 felonies and has more indictments still pending
Silence DoGood is an anonymous guest writer who would like to help stop the insanity in Shasta County
Motivated by the strong desire to go back to doing the dishes instead of worrying about a potential civil war
and insight to the sane folks who have resisted the very reasonable urge to move somewhere that isn’t currently determined to eat itself
