Mead’s Rachel Crow: Carla’s Voice in Rio 2
A Woman’s Job in a Man’s World
By Kelly Fordyce Martindale Rio 2 opens April 11 and features the voice of Mead’s own, Rachel Crow. Most became familiar with Rachel when she competed on the first season of the U.S. version of The X-Factor, a singing competition, where she placed 5th overall. We loved her throughout the show and were disappointed that we found out her roots were in Mead, AFTER the show was nearly over. I’m sure she would have won if all our readers had known and would have been voting! Let’s support Rachel by going to see Rio 2. My granddaughter and I can hardly wait for the opening. Rachel and her family will be in town to view the movie together with her grandparents and friends. I am honored to have an appointment with Rachel and will get to spend some getting to know her. There will be a full feature article in May’s issue of the Consumer Report of Mead. Rachel splits her time in Mead and also in California where she works regularly on many projects and completes her high school requirements at a home school for actors. She attended Mead’s Elementary and Middle schools. Rachel works with Columbia Records (has one cd out) and has a TV deal with Nickelodeon for her own show. She's appeared on many TV shows, including BrainSurge, Inside Edition, Big Time Rush, Figure It Out and The Wendy Williams Show.
By Robin Barrett Meet Melissa O’Brien. She owns and operates “Handy Mom”. Handy Mom is a “handy-man” service owned and operated by a woman and mother who enjoys doing home improvements. Melissa started Handy Mom so she could either help those in need or do the work for them, work alongside them, or just teach someone how things are done. This service is awesome for women who would rather a woman be in their home, than a man, when they are home alone. Melissa is from a small town in Iowa but has lived in Colorado for almost 20 years. Melissa says, “I can’t imagine being anywhere else.” She says, “My favorite time of the year in Colorado is spring because everything is new and fresh and the weather is perfect.” She also thinks spring is a good time to get outdoors and enjoy some gardening or landscaping. Handy Mom was officially started in September 2013. Melissa quit her job to be home for her kids but needed something to do while they were at school. She also wanted the flexibility to be home for her children after school and during the summer and other times off. Melissa really enjoys doing home improvements and says, “I’m really Great at it.” Handy Mom jobs work great with her goals for her children. Handy Mom services Mead, Longmont and the Carbon Valley area including Erie. Other areas are considered. Handy Mom will service anyone, but mostly those people who just need a helping hand around the house. She finds most people call her because they do not have the time, the knowledge of how to do the job or the ability to do small tasks on their own. It’s great to have a “Handy Mom” business that is available to help with those small home improvements. If the job requires more than one day, you will be certain that Melissa is the one that will be back to finish the job. Handy Mom is a one-woman business. She
