Cause for Celebration
Mountain View Fire Rescue (MVFR) and the Town of Mead are proud to announce the completion of the new Mead Town Hall and Fire Station! In order to decrease the cost of this project, the Town of Mead and MVFR received an energy impact grant from the Division of Local Affairs. “This is a beautiful building for the community. It would not have been possible without the generous grants provided by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs ($750,000) and Encana ($82,000). I want to say thank you to both of those organizations,” stated Town Manager, Dan Dean. “Our focus is the citizens. We wanted to construct a building that gave MVFR everything we needed to be able to care for the citizens of Mead for years to come,” said Assistant Chief of Administration Roger Rademacher. A ribbon cutting celebration was held on September 13th prior to the beginning of the Annual Mead Community Day Event. “It’s wonderful to see organizations working together to serve and protect the public,” stated Congressman Cory Gardner.

by Tiffany // September 8, 2014 // No Comments The M.A.C.C. was planning on holding a Chili Cook Off in October, when we became aware of the Crane family, who are Mead residents. Parents, Jeremiah and Jenna’s youngest child Isaac was recently diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The prognosis is bleak, but this young family of 4, with 2 year old sister, Natalie are doing everything power to give Isaac everything he needs. Upon learning of Isaac and the Crane family, the Mead Area Chamber of Commerce, chose to instead make the Chili Cook Off a benefit for the Crane’s. The outpouring of support and volunteers for the Chili Cook Off has been amazing. Not an hour after I first sent out the poster via social media, the local newspaper, the Carbon Valley Consumer Report, contacted me requesting a PDF of the document as they were going to print in 2 hours. I was so surprised and thankful, when I received this month’s issue because the editor actually donated a full sheet spread for the poster. At the first meeting to organize the event we had 8 people attend and offer to head up various aspects of the event. We have already begun receiving donations for a Silent Auction to be held during the Cook Off. Posters and flyers have been hung up around town. People all over social media are sharing the posts. R.S.V.P.’s are coming in left and right. And honestly, all of this could not have come at a better time for the Crane’s, as Isaac is once again back at children’s hospital. As a mother and wife, my heart is seriously breaking for this family. I am truly amazed by their strength and love for one another. While, I am sure that the circumstances have made their lives emotional roller coasters, they are do not seem to dwell on the sadness or the difficult times they have had and continue to endure, all they are focused on is providing their two small children with the love, strength and support that they deserve and need. Please helps us to support Isaac Crane and his family, join us for the Chili Cook Off, as a contestant, as a sponsors, as a donor or just to sample the chili.

Proceeds from the M.A.C.C. Chili Cook Off will be donated to Isaac’s (Crane) Fund On Tuesday, June 10, Isaac suffered an unresponsive episode. His daddy, was able to revived him. Jenna and Jeremiah (his parents) took Isaac to Children’s Hospital where he was diagnosed with Aspiration Pneumonia. He was then admitted to the PICU. Testing began to find the cause of Isaac’s low muscle tone, present since birth. Less than a week later, Jenna and Jeremiah were given the devastating news that Isaac has Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. His muscles will continue to atrophy until he passes away. His parents have been told that Isaac has months to possibly a year. Doctors say he is on the weaker end of Type 1, which is the most severe. The Crane Family, parents Jenna and Jeremiah, big sister Natalie and Isaac live in the Town of Mead. Please help us support the Crane family, by attending the M.A.C.C. Chili Cook Off on October 11th or taking the time to donate at www.gofundme.com/agbytg.
