During its annual board meeting earlier this month, the Brush Area Museum and Cultural Center received 30 bound books of historical Colorado horse racing bulletins from Fort Morgan's Gale Davey, former chairman of the Colorado Racing Commission.
Now a steward (judge) for Arapahoe Park horse racing track in Aurora, Davey said he found the pamphlets stored away in file cabinets.
'My concern was if somebody came in that didn't recognize what they were and the value of it, they would have become trash,' he said. 'If they needed a file cabinet drawer they would have thrown this stuff out.'
Since Brush boasted the first established pari-mutuel horse track after voters approved gambling on horses nearly 60 years ago, Davey said, he brought the items home and gave them to the Brush museum.
'There were so many people from this area involved in horse racing back in those days,' he said.
Many of the 30 books contain a full year of racing programs from various Colorado race tracks, Davey said, including the Centennial Turf Club, Rocky Mountain Quarter Horse Racing, Centennial Harness Racing, Gateway Downs Horse Racing and Pikes Peak Meadows.
Also at the meeting, Brush City Councilman Harry Rieger updated the board on various museum building maintenance projects that were completed with help from the city. Projects included fixing a ceiling roof, cleaning floors, changing outside doors, fixing outdoor lighting and looking into obtaining more efficient windows
The same day, the former prime minister and convicted felon, Thaksin Shinawatra, is scheduled to talk to the crowd by telephone through the government-owned television station.
Last week the Supreme Court found Thaksin guilty of abusing his power when he was prime minister to allow his family to benefit financially from a land deal. He was sentenced in absentia to two years jail. He is currently in self-imposed exile in England, having skipped bail in early August. Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in Sept 2006, but many of his supporters managed to regroup into a new political party the Peoples Power Party, win elections in December and form the government.
But over the past few months, Thailands government has been besieged by protesters demanding the prime minister and cabinet resign because they see them as a proxy of the former premier. The current prime minister, Somchai Wongsawat, is Thaksins brother-in-law. Rumours of another military coup have increased in recent days as a result of Thailands deepening political quagmire.
Although the possibility of a coup cannot be completely ruled out, the army chief, Gen Anupong, is reluctant to move, said Panitan Wattanayagorn, a military specialist and political scientist at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
Tension continues to mount, however, as fears grow that the current political battle can only end in further violence
