What’s On My Mind

In fact, he who watches over Israel won’t get tired or go to sleep. Psalm 121:3-5

Kelly Martindale, Publisher

Campfires and Light Camping is one of my favorite ways to relax. The quiet and solitude seem to absorb my stress, calm my mind and relax my neck and shoulders; much like a massage. A fire at night time becomes a healing balm. The flame; flickering and bouncing and soothing. My eyes watch, mesmerized, my mind empties. But the light of the fire reaches only so far; sort of. If I keep my eyes on the fire and walk backwards, I can see the light for quite some distance. In fact, if I don’t look away, and if trees don’t block the view, I can go a long way from the fire and still see at least a spec of light. But if I turn to look over my shoulder, I see only darkness. It’s weird because if I’m at the fire and turn my back and walk away, within 20-30 feet, I’ve reached the edge of light going into darkness. I can actually see where the light ends and the darkness begins. When I turn my back, the light doesn’t reach as far. It’s the same fire, the same light. But the security of the light is suppressed when I turn my back to it. This analogy comes easy to me this morning as we recently camped for three nights. With the projects I’m working on (this and Mead’s paper, the i25 Corridors Community Magazine and helping with my daughter’s wedding), I’ve been incredibly stressed. So the short camping trip was a wonderful reprieve. But June has been a busier month than usual and, truthfully, I’m glad it’s almost over. I have too much on my plate. Let me describe it like this…I feel like a waitress, holding above my head, a round tray about 48 inches in diameter, with filled plates,

bowls and cups stacked on top of each other resembling a pyramid about three feet tall; and I’m walking in spiked heels on a cobblestone road. It’s very difficult to navigate the cracks while walking in spiked heels and keep my weary arms in place to balance the food stuff. In reality, I’m in slippers and pajama pants and sitting on my butt in front of the computer but all the details for each of these projects, plus all the people to coordinate with, and a husband and home that needs to be cleaned for out of town guests and bills that need to get paid and groceries

Competitive Prices • Relaxing Atmosphere • Personal Service Haircuts Perms Color Skincare Waxing Electrolysis Manicures Pedicures Make-up and More!

purchased…June has been rough. I’ve found it hard to stay focused and my priorities have been all over the map. I’ve shared that each morning I strive to read two daily devotions that help me learn about God. I try to read a little bit of the Bible too. When I do that, my day seems to go much smoother. But even with devotions and Bible reading and lots and lots of prayer, I’ve shed a few tears this month. The wedding is one week from today, the papers are due to press tomorrow and the magazine, well, it’s getting done as soon as possible (it does look great if I have to say so myself). The details seem never ending… the pressure to work on the magazine verses wedding table decorations…I’m constantly asking myself, “What should I do next?” If I keep my eyes on the Lord, like the light of the campfire, I can go so much further with much less stress and get so much more completed. But when I look over my shoulder at another task, I trip up. It’s an important project to work on but it is not the one I’m supposed to be doing at the moment. And I can tell when I’ve made the wrong choice because the responsibilities hanging over my head come crashing down around me and I have a meltdown. I have to ask God’s help in deciding which task He knows is best for me right now. I choose and do it and move to the next task and before I know it, the day’s work is done. Then I sleep peacefully in His care AND start all over the next day. One hundred percent of the time, when I keep my eyes on the light, everything that must get done, gets done, in a calm and orderly fashion…and in God’s perfect time.

The data collected will allow the Town to plan and manage our roads as we move into the future. zz New field lights will be installed at the Firestone Regional Sports Complex later this summer to light up all three fields. This addition is sure to bring in additional baseball and softball tournaments into our community. zz Another new addition coming this summer will be disc golf at Central Park.

The design is in the works and installation of Phase I will begin soon. zz The Board of Trustees approved the final development plan for an apartment complex just west of Cimarron Pointe, an existing condo complex at Colorado Boulevard and Cimarron Street.

who worked so hard to create an event we can all come together and enjoy. zz There are plenty of opportunities in July to get out and experience your community including the weekly Frederick Market and the Downtown Sounds concert series on July 10th and July 24th. The new later hours of the market each Thursday have created more opportunity for working families to take part in this community activity each week. If you haven’t made it to a Downtown Sounds concert yet, I encourage you to grab your picnic blanket or camp chairs and come join us around the Crist Park gazebo. It is a truly quintessential Frederick experience, listening to music, enjoying some food from a local downtown business or farmers market vendor, and spending some time relaxing with your family. zz As the weather gets warmer, conserving water becomes an important part of our daily lives. While the Board has not imposed any mandatory watering restrictions, we do encourage you to be a good steward of this precious natural resource. You can find many water

saving tips on our website at www.frederickco.gov/conservewater and you can also learn more about the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP), which is a project the town is currently involved in to secure Frederick’s future water supply needs. zz By now, you’ve probably seen our new brand for the Town of Frederick which is best portrayed in a brand video available on our website and social media. If you haven’t seen this video yet, go check it out right now! It is Frederick’s identity in less than two minutes. We are a community of doers, who choose to roll up our sleeves for the good of the community. If there is something that you are passionate about that will shape our community, please come talk to me or any of the other Board members about it. We want to help you create the community of your dreams, and that starts with using the power of your voices to tell us what matters to you

New Patient Identification “In the Palm of Your Hand” Longmont United Hospital to Use Palm Scanning Technology to Identify Patients

Longmont, CO June 2, 2014 - Longmont United Hospital is pleased to announce a new technology that will be used to improve accurate identification of patients, a biometric patient identification system, PatientSecure®. PatientSecure utilizes near infrared light to map an image of the blood-flow pattern through the veins in a person’s palm, the digital palm image is converted into a unique patient identifier that interfaces with the Hospital’s electronic health record system. Palm vein scanning is a form of vascular pattern recognition technology and provides high level of accuracy in personal identification. It is more accurate than fingerprint recognition technology and has high acceptance rate by patients for ease of use. The vein pattern in a palm is unique to each person (even to identical twins) and does not change over the course of his/her lifetime. The advanced technology, PatientSecure, helps to ensure each patient is correctly “linked” to the right medical record, a task that is not always as straightforward as it sounds. For example if more than one person has the same first and last name. With PatientSecure, a patient simply places his or her hand on a small black box and their unique identifying palm portrait automatically registers them and accesses his or her electronic health record, reducing the chances of misidentification and minimizing the need to present other identifying information after initial enrollment. “PatientSecure provides a safe, secure, and easy way for our patients to register for care at the Hospital. It not only protects privacy and enhances quality, but transforms the patient experience,” said Michael Jefferies, vice president, information systems, Longmont United Hospital. “It’s secure and instantaneous.” In addition, if a patient without identification arrives at the Hospital unconscious or unable to communicate, PatientSecure can be a lifesaving tool that quickly identifies the individual, opens his or her electronic health record and alerts medical professionals to crucial information, including medical history, allergies and current medications. Registration using PatientSecure will be available July 15 at the Hospital’s Patient Registration. The Hospital’s integrated physician group, Milestone Medical Group, will begin using PatientSecure in midSeptember. There is no cost to patients to participate in PatientSecure. If you are interested in setting up your unique patient identifier through PatientSecure, stop by at Patient Registration after July 15 during normal business hours.

Devo is Competing, Let's Support Her

NATURAL PET SUPPLIES

THE BEST YOUR PET CAN GET!

Hello, my name is Devona Gooras and those near and dear to me know me as Devo. I have lived in the Carbon Valley area for 37 years. My grandfather worked here as a coal miner and settled in Firestone to raise his family. I am 3rd generation to come and live in the area. My husband, of 28 years, and I chose to raise our children here as well. I, personally, have always had a love for sports and music. I have been singing ever since the 8th grade. I had a teacher come up and ask me if I would join the choir when I made it to high school. That’s how it all began and I took the idea of singing a bit more seriously. I had always been singing with the radio or TV shows for as long as I can remember. There is a line in one of Carrie Underwood’s songs that says “here’s to all you hairbrush singers”, that was me. Yes, I can admit that I used a hairbrush for a microphone; today I use a real one. I graduated from Frederick High School and in high school I was a part of the Mixed Choir, Show Choir and was a member of the M.A.D. (Music, Art, and Drama) class. With the encouragement of my high school choir director, I participated in league choir, league solo competitions and received medals of placement. Last year I chose to audition for the X-Factor and had the honor of making it to the second round. Not too bad for my first time. It was a great experience and a huge deal to have made it to the second round! For a period of time I have taken voice lessons to better myself and learn a bit about voice. I have been using my gift in church for 28 years by being a part of the choir and on praise teams, including the honor of being asked to sing solos. Recently I have become a song leader for Touching Lives ministry of Lifebridge Christian Church. This ministry provides worship service to those who are residing in various rest homes in Longmont. Some of you may have heard me sing the National Anthem at the Carbon Valley Relay for Life opening ceremony in years past, an honor I hold dear. Recently I was a member of a group called Elvis and The Kings Messengers. Our goal was to reach people for Christ by singing Elvis gospel tunes. Some of the venues we sang at were the Candle Light Dinner Theatre, Schupe Homestead, Nissi’s in the Boulder area, the Boulder County Fairgrounds and Lifebridge Christian Church. I consider it a blessing that God has chosen to give me the gift of a singing voice to use for a meaningful purpose. Today I am reaching out for sponsorship/donations to help use my gift for a cause that is helping not only women, but families in need. It is called A Woman’s Work. This is an organization that provides prompt one-time assistance to women and their families who have lived or worked in the St. Vrain Valley for 90 days or more. This organization is thriving today because community members continue to make charitable contributions through annual contributions, events, sponsorships, honorariums and memorials. I am participating in an event they call a Vocal Face Off. It is a fundraising competition for vocalists, like me, to set a fundraising goal that will get me to the top 4 fundraisers who will have the honor of singing with the Vocal group, FACE. FACE is a nationally recognized vocal rock band based out of Boulder Colorado, bringing a new edge and attitude to the human voice. Using just five singers and a vocal drummer, Face creates a rock-music phenomenon that has to be seen to be believed. No instruments and no special effects-just six guys…….. until August 10th. My goal is $1500 but will gladly surpass that number to get an opportunity to sing on stage with FACE. FACE will be holding a concert at Lifebridge Christian Church on August 10th where the top four fundraisers will have an opportunity to sing with FACE as well as be a participant on that evening to be voted on for top vocalist of the evening. Proceeds from this fundraising event will fund grants that assist women with needs that range from transportation to housing to clothing to childcare. A $500 sponsorship will include: Signage at the Event, Name on all publicity, 2 tickets to the VIP party (5:00 pm-6:00 pm) and 2 General Admission tickets to the concert. (6:30 pm-8:30 pm) I am very excited to be reaching or surpassing my goal to get that opportunity to sing with FACE! Donations can be made to me by going to www. awomanswork.org. You will be able to see my video interview and place a “FACE” with a name. In conclusion, the first ever Vocal Face Off Competition premise is this--vocalists/performers are to compete in a fundraising competition. Each contestant will raise tax-deductible donations for A Woman’s Work. The top 4 fundraisers will earn a spot to sing/perform with Face at a concert on August 10, 2014, 6:30 pm-8:30 pm. The audience will vote for the First Annual Face Off winner at the concert. I am in it to win it for a great cause and would thank you in advance for your donation as well as your support at the concert on August 10th.

First Choice Emergency Room Opens in Firestone

By Jan Sciacca First Choice Emergency Room, the oldest and largest network of freestanding emergency medical facilities, had its grand opening in June and is open for business. It’s located at 5965 Firestone Boulevard, on the northwest corner of Firestone Blvd. and Colorado Blvd. The company First Choice Emergency Room was founded in 2002 to bring additional access to emergency medical care to local communities. The facility in Firestone is equipped to handle all adult and pediatric medical emergencies and is situated to serve the needs of Firestone and the surrounding I-25 Corridor communities. The company is known for revolutionizing the delivery of emergency medical services by offering patients convenient, neighborhood access to emergency medical care. First Choice Emergency Room is equipped just like a hospital emergency room with CT, Digital X-ray, Ultrasound and on-site labs. Patients are seen almost immediately by a boardcertified physician and receive compassionate and focused care from the entire clinical staff. The friendly Firestone staff is headed by facility manager Katherine Hey, Paula Eerger, Facility Resource Manager and Radiology Manager Suzy Overton. An example of the benefits of a community emergency room are relayed in a story about Cynthia, who went into labor, in Colorado Springs. Cynthia’s husband Eric rushed her to the nearest emergency room - First Choice Emergency Room in Colorado Springs. Within 4 minutes of arriving at the facility, Cynthia gave birth to baby boy Logan. The umbilical cord was wrapped around Logan's neck, a potentially life threatening complication. First Choice Emergency Room's physician handled the delivery well and as a result both mother and baby are fine. It would have been difficult for the couple to make it to the nearest hospital in time. First Choice Emergency Room is open 24-7 and can be reached at 303.678.4340 or www.fcer.com.

How to Compete in Colorado's Competitive Real Estate Market Buyer & Seller Tips

Buying a house in a market where homes sell before they hit the MLS can be tough. Competition can be fierce. Here's what buyers and sellers can expect from a transaction in a highly competitive market. Multiple Offers - Expect to compete with simultaneous offers; many times you can be competing against three or more additional offers. Emotional Strings - It is standard now for buyers to write emotional offer letters that are intended to make their offer seem more appealing. Cash Offers - Cash offers are more common and are considered more favorable over financed deals. Losing Out to Other Offers - Ask your Realtor® how many deals they anticipate could slip through your fingers before you have one accepted. Appraisal – In today’s market, homes are generally appraising for more. However, buyers must know that the finance amount usually relies on the appraisal, which means if your offer exceeds the appraisal you will need cash to make up the difference. Possession Takes Time - Even

w h e n buyers and sellers are rushing to close, there is only so much the Realtors can do to push things along more quickly t h a n standard closing. This is why communication with your Realtor is critical for planning each move you make. Increasing Inventory in Your Neighborhood - It is inevitable that as soon as you list your home so will your neighbor. This may not necessarily be a problem, and in fact, could be beneficial to everyone in the long run if both homes show well. Sellers Market – More and more buyers are paying over asking price for premium properties. Buyers should be aware of practices like previewing offers where the homeowner will try to get as much traction as they can before accepting an offer, driving offers over the asking price.

Muttz Natural Pet Products At Home in Firestone and in the I-25 Corridor

by Jan Sciacca The community is blessed to be home to the new Muttz Natural Pet Products, owned by Kim Morgan of Westminster. The new store, located at 4445 City Centre Road, Suite 200, is an easy on/ easy off destination from both I-25 and Firestone Boulevard. Muttz, a play on the word Mutts, is the third store for Kim. The other two sites are located in Broomfield and Westminster. Kim is married and says her husband Sheldon is an engineer at Avaya. He is not involved directly in the businesses but watches with interest as his wife’s businesses grow and is quite supportive. Kim’s love for pets and their supplies all started years ago with one beloved Whippet named Angel. Kim jokes that there must be something in her DNA where she has to open a new store every five years. In June the Westminster store celebrated its tenth anniversary, the Broomfield its fifth anniversary and the Firestone store had its grand opening. She decided to place a store in Firestone after going on “drives” in her spare time. She found herself driving to Firestone several times. She liked the community. Then she saw the present location being built and she knew that was the spot for Muttz. Muttz Natural Pet Products holds a prominent spot on the new Firestone marquee sign, visible from I-25. Kim reports that the closest natural pet store is west of 287 in Longmont. She has reached out to local veterinarians, whom she refers her customers to. Kim makes it very clear that she only sells products and not veterinarian supplies or services. Nor does she sell animals. She does not want pets to avoid coming into her store for any reason and believes if they have fun when they’re there, their owners will too. Muttz Natural Pet Products sells healthy food and treats, tail waggin’ toys, collars, harnesses, backpacks, gifts and other supplies for dogs, cats, small animals, wild birds and pet birds. Muttz is open Mon.-Fri. 9:30 am-7 pm, and Sat.-Sun. 9:30 am-5:30 pm. Contact information is 303.776.0560 and petsuppliesdenver.com.

How Do We Gain Independence Over Health Fears?

502 Briggs Street Erie 80516 Kristie Wagner, Owner Order 24hr/7 days a week

at www.eriefloral.com 303.828.1062 Delivery worldwide with Teleflora

There's not a simple answer, but I do think that as we educate ourselves and create healthy habits, our daily health related fears will subside and confidence in our health choices will become the new norm. Here are a few things we all need reminders on: We need to STOP: working out by yourself, obsessing over how many calories a workout burns, and telling yourself that exercise is torture. We need to START: finding active things you enjoy doing that don’t seem like work (like a bike ride, hike, swimming, my fun fitness group), get together with other people and push each other building a healthy camaraderie, celebrate the small changes in your level of performance, and focusing on what you CAN do rather then what you can’t do. When it comes to food, this is a much tougher issue for many people, that sometimes has deep seeded emotional issues. We need to STOP: buying processed foods, drinking sodas, alcohol, sugary drinks and juices, going to fast food restaurants on a regular basis, telling yourself that healthy food costs more (it might cost a little more initially, but you will pay greatly for habitual poor food choices later on in life), and eating when you are emotional rather than hungry. We need to START: cooking more at home, investing in and supporting our local farmer markets, looking at your body as an amazing machine that requires the best fuel possible, eating until satisfied not stuffed, and to try new vegetables and fruits. Here are three thoughts I want to leave you with....remember that each of us are on our own journey. Someone who is more fit or runs faster than you is not better than you, they've just been on the journey longer than you have and are further along in the process. Be inspired by others' successes, but don’t compare their journey to your own. You'll get there! Strive for progress, not perfection. When you fall off the wagon (and everyone does), you aren't starting back at square one. You're different than you were when you first started. The knowledge and new techniques you've learned while on this health journey makes it easier to get right back on that wagon again. Don’t get down on yourself if you haven’t been as consistent as you know you should be. Get right back on track and realize you are stronger, better, and more knowledgeable than you were a month ago or a year ago. If you need help with getting started or getting back on track with your health, contact Tracy Rewerts, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Women's Fitness Specialist at www. TimeForChangePersonalTraining.com or call 303-828-2856.

Compiled by Kelly Fordyce Martindale On June 29, a new show, “Inner Dimension,” was filmed at a local residence in No Name Creek and at the Bella Rosa Golf Course. Local resident Danielle Douglas (Dani picture at right), is the Production Manager and let the CVCR know of this new and interesting web series project. WHAT IS INNER DIMENSION? It's part science fiction, part paranormal, and a little bit spiritual, tying the real world to a new world that goes far beyond mankind's comprehension. Three people go missing in the real world and find themselves in this new world where the danger is yet unknown and escape may be the least of their worries. As this new world is accidentally discovered by more people, the story grows into something Danielle Douglas incredible, leading up to a thrilling conﬂict putting Production Manager not only the Earth at stake, but the entire universe. & Frederick Resident Nathaniel, an oddly dressed British gentleman, has been stuck here a long time and may know more than he's telling. Fourteen-year-old Toby (below) and football star Derrick are newcomers, but soon realize that once inside the Inner Dimension, it is nearly impossible to get back. To succeed, they must forget everything they've ever known about the real world.

Holly Foreman, an Examiner reporter wrote, “Produced by Kasha Fauscett, (below on right with actress Sara Heydlauff as Petra on the left) ‘Inner Dimension’ follows several strangers who disappear from the real world and find themselves lost in a metaphysical realm more ancient that the age of the dinosaurs. As the characters travel through portals between the two dimensions, meeting unlikely allies and foes, darkness seeps into the world and threatens the universe. Only a few can save it. The web series combines the feel of ‘Lost’ and ‘Dr. Who’ with an even more unusual cast than most Comic Con projects see. There’s an ex-NFL player, a British Lord, and even a pro boxer for good measure. Equally unique is the paranormal spin the series takes on the end-of-the-worlddoomsday theme.” This was written shortly before Denver’s Comic Con in mid-June where the web series debuted and costumed cast visited with attendees. Holly Foreman says, “The project wouldn't have gotten this far without generous sponsors, and 5280 Disaster Restoration Drywall & Repairs has been the primary donor, making it possible to reach a larger audience than Fauscett originally thought possible. Artistic Director Wickey has his own measure of fame as a bronze sculptor. Wickey is especially known for bronze statues of athletes, freezing their famous moments in time, and he does lifelike custom commissions as well. Though he is heavily into the post-production phase of his own film ‘The Earth is Flat,’ Wickey lent a creative eye with his artistic flair to the ‘Inner Dimension’ series. Kasha Fauscett is an actor who has put on her director hat for this project. With more than 15 film credits to her name, she has taken her passion for making people feel and tackles it from a different perspective with ‘Inner Dimension.’ The warm reception she has felt from the online community has her focusing on reaching a wider global audience.” Foreman continues, “Sometimes the best pairing for a successful film project is people who can read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. Fauscett's husband, Troy Fauscett is the other half of this dynamic duo and as the Writer for ‘Inner Dimension,’ he primarily has had to interpret his wife's vision. He has been able to translate Fauscett's direction for the cast and crew, and in huge part, the success of the web series relies heavily on him. But Kasha Fauscett’s appetite for this unique project combines spectacularly with the artistic vision of Sam Wickey to create a stunning series definitely worthy of your time.” Kasha Fauscett explains in an interview by Westword’s Cory Casciato, "Basically, the Inner Dimension is connected and a functional part of our universe." Kasha is the producer and co-creator of the series. She continues, "It was never meant for mankind to discover, let alone enter, but by virtue of modern architecture people began arriving and becoming part of the inner dimension in a different state of mind." Casciato explains that this premise will unfold over twelve episodes, premiering online in the first week of August and continuing at a pace of one a week until the entire story -- or at least the first part of it -- is told. (August 2nd through October 18th) If all goes according to plan, viewers won't be able to look away once they get their first taste,” Casciato concludes. For more information and to keep updated on this new and unique film project, Like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/InnerDimension and check in at their website www. innerdimensiontvshow.com.

Creating a Special Outdoor Space

NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, & Women's Fitness Specialist

With spring here and summer on the not-so-distant horizon, more and more homeowners are stepping outside to tackle outdoor projects that have been ignored all winter. One popular project is revamping outdoor living spaces in preparation for the warmer months. Whether you're looking for a great space to entertain or just hang with the family on the weekends, below is some winning advice on creating unique outdoor living spaces. Tailor to your needs. Think specifically about what you will be using the space for. Just because a grill and a picnic table are standbys for a barbecue area doesn't mean that's what you need to go with. Maybe your family has a longstanding Saturday night pizza tradition, and so a woodfire oven would be a better fit. Have young kids? Consider placing a swing set or a hanging hammock chair near your lounge chairs to keep the little ones entertained while you relax nearby with a watchful eye. Go bold. Statement pieces don't only belong indoors. A unique set of tables and chairs or weatherproof sofa and chaise can look great in your garden. Are you an art fan or birding enthusiast? Consider a statue or a series of colorful bird baths and feeders. Upgrade your furniture. Outdoor furniture has developed far past the traditional plastic deck chairs. From wicker to wood and canvas, there are so many fun options that can really add character to your living space. Porch party. Porches aren't just meant as a reprieve from inclement weather. Think of your front porch as a mini deck. Homeowners with front porches can take advantage of their space by adding a luxurious feel with a daybed, a quaint reading nook, a space for sipping

Guns and Pretend Play

Allowing kids to play with toy guns is a personal decision, as is how to respond to a child's pretend shooting action during the course of play. Remember that even if you don't allow your kids to have a toy gun, their friends may have them. So explain to your kids that real guns — unlike toy guns or those shown on TV, in movies, or in video games — can seriously injure or even kill a person.

Pedestrian Bridges to be Installed in Historic Firestone by Fall 2014

The purchase of two pedestrian bridges in Historic Firestone was approved by the Board of Trustees at its June 11, 2014, meeting. The bridge manufacturer will now complete its structural design while Town staff makes final adjustments to the abutment structural design. The Firestone Public Works department will begin construction later this summer and installation is expected in early September. The first bridge will be installed at the south end of the Jacob H. Firestone Memorial Park located at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Grant Avenue. This area of the trail has a downward slope where water and ice have traditionally collected causing unsafe passage. The second bridge will allow direct access to the trail through the Firestone Villas neighborhood off of Venice Avenue. Both of the bridges will protect health and safety concerns for patrons of the trail, as well as provide a safer route to school for students. The bridges will be funded through the Parks Impact Fee Fund. The expenditure was approved by the Firestone Board of Trustees as part of the 2014 budget process.

Utility Work Begins on Firestone Boulevard in Preparation for Expansion

The orange cone zone has begun on Firestone Boulevard as crews have started the utility portion of the roadway widening project. Construction will run throughout the summer and info the fall as the project will be broken into two parts to tackle the utility work and then the actual pavement widening. The roadway widening will allow for two lanes of traffic in each direction between Cimarron Street and Birch Street. For the utility portion of the project, crews will be lowering the Central Weld county Water District 12-inch waterline to get ready for extension of a box culvert, which will take about four to six weeks from demolition to final grading. During that time crews will also be lowering a shorter piece of the 12-inch waterline and extending an existing 36-inch concrete culvert. It is estimated that the utility work should be completed by late August. The paving contractors should begin the roadway paving as soon as the utility project is completed. The Firestone Board of Trustees opted to break the project into two parts in April after only a single bid was received during the request for proposals earlier this year. That bid came in much higher than what Town staff estimated. Breaking the project into two pieces will allow the Town to potentially significantly decrease the total cost of the project as compared to the bid received.

Firestone Elected Officials Receive CML Leadership Training Awards

Firestone Mayor Paul Sorensen and Trustee Bobbi Sindelar were recently honored by the Colorado Municipal League (CML) for reaching milestone levels with its MUNIversity program, which is a leadership program for Colorado’s municipal elected officials. The two Firestone elected officials were honored during the CML annual conference the week of June 16. Sorensen reached the Fundamental level of the program which requires 30 training credits, and Sindelar reached the Leadership level, which is achieved when the official reaches 60 hours of training. Town Manager Wesley LaVanchy said, “I am appreciative of the intentionality of these elected individuals to prepare themselves to lead our community.” The CML program was started in January 1991 to recognize elected officials who increase their knowledge of municipal government and their ability to lead.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Seasonal Allergies

Allergies are commonly experienced in the Spring and Fall and can be very disruptive to life. A common question people ask is, can acupuncture help ease or eliminate allergies? The answer is yes, however, there are a few things that we can do for ourselves at home as well. Here are a few ideas: z Chinese herbal formulas: There are a few, my favorite is Allerease from Blue Poppy. z Bee Pollen: Taking a daily dose (or two) of Bee Pollen helps to strengthen the immune system and stops sneezing immediately. z Lavender: Using high quality lavender essential oil around the orbital of the eye (following the bone only) helps to stop sneezing immediately. Multiple applications are sometimes necessary and safe. z Eliminate Gluten: Gluten is very sticky and avoiding it altogether helps to clean up the whole system and, at the very least, reduce the amount of phlegm to contend with during allergy season. Reducing or eliminating one month prior to allergy season works best. z Quercetin: A friend of mine who practices Homeopathy advised taking Quercetin the month prior to allergy season. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, “Quercetin belongs to a group of plant pigments called flavonoids that give many fruits, flowers, and vegetables their color. Flavonoids, such as quercetin, are antioxidants -- they scavenge damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. They also help keep LDL ("bad") cholesterol from being damaged, which scientists think may contribute to heart disease. Quercetin acts like an antihistamine and an anti-inflammatory, and may help protect against heart disease and cancer. Quercetin can also help stabilize the cells that release histamine in the body and thereby have an anti-inflammatory effect.”

I hope this is helpful, and please feel free to call or write if In the event of an emergency a person should always call 911, espcially if immediate assistance is needed from the you have any questions. police, fire department or an ambulance. Examples include: Daisy Lear, MSOM, Dipl.Ac., L.Ac., practices Chinese z A fire medicine & acupuncture in Longmont (303)587-3557 daisylear@gmail.com. z A car crash, especially if someone is injured Healthcare Provider for CIGNA & Federal Government Workman’s Compensation. z A crime z A medical emergency, such as someone who is unconscious, gasping for air or not breathing, experiencing an allergic reaction, having chest pain, having uncontrollable bleeding or any other symptoms that require immediate assistance. Knowing what is considered immediate medical treatment can be hard. To make this decision, ask yourself the following questions: z Is the victim’s condition life-threatening? z Could the victim’s condition worsen and become life-threatening on the way to the hospital? z Does the victim require the skills or equipment of paramedics or emergency medical technicians? z Could the distance or traffic conditions cause a delay in getting the victim to the hospital? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” or if you are unsure, it is best to call 911 for EMS help. Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians can begin medical treatments at the scene and on the way to the hospital, as well as alert the emergency department of the condition en route. When you call for help, speak calmly and clearly. Give your name, address and phone number; give the location of the victim; and describe the problem. Don’t hang up until the dispatcher tells you to, because he or she may need more information or need to give you instructions. For more information or for questions about when you should call 911, contact the Frederick- Firestone F.P.D. at 303.833.2742 or visit www.fffd.us.

Personal Training with an Edge

If you have been considering hiring a personal trainer to assist you with your fitness and nutrition goals, congratulations!! Hiring a trainer can be very beneficial to help you stay accountable to your goals and to allow you to learn proper exercise technique as well as receiving sound nutritional advice. Some clients are very successful with the addition of a personal trainer, whereas, others are not. It all depends on the client’s ability to stay true to their program on a daily basis and to be honest about nutritional intake and exercise habits. All too often, we underestimate the amount of calories and macronutrients we are ingesting and we assume that we are burning enough calories with day-today activities and responsibilities. I too thought that I was moving enough and eating the right amount. Even as a personal trainer who is accustomed to being highly active and eating clean, I started to put some weight back on due to a thyroid condition and medication issue. I decided to buy a “Fitbit Flex” – wireless activity & sleep wristband. I began using the device to track my steps, mileage, calories burned, calories consumed, sleep patterns, minutes of highly active exercise, etc. Within one week, I achieved a 5 pound weight loss. Having the device on my wrist at all times makes me more consciously aware of how active I am over time; and, the accompanying phone app allows me to log my nutrition which also gives me a clear picture of how many calories I am consuming as well. Each day, I am highly motivated to meet each of my personal activity goals that I have set up on the app. Thus far, I have been ecstatic with my results! I am so convinced that the “Fitbit Flex” will help any client stay accountable and lose weight that I have decided to offer this device FREE (for a limited time) with the purchase of your first 10-pack of training sessions for new clients. With the addition of this device coupled with sound nutritional advice and a proper exercise program, you can’t fail. It’s all about staying accountable to yourself and your trainer. If you are interested in getting fit and healthy, give me a call. We can get your started on your personal transformation. Shelly N. Porcaro, NASM-CES, CPT, SFN (303) 594-8325 shelly@justtrifitness.com www.justtrifitness.com.

Nextera Healthcare expands across the state of Colorado

An innovative new healthcare model which is gaining national attention was launched 3 years ago, right here in Firestone and Frederick, Colorado. In 2011, local family physicians Dr. David Tusek and Dr. Clint Flanagan, who have been taking care of the Carbon Valley community since 2004 launched their own version of “true healthcare reform” called Nextera Healthcare...and now its really beginning to take off. The two physicians recently returned from a week in Washington DC where they personally discussed Nextera Healthcare with numerous senators, including Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Sen. John Barasso (R-WY), participated in a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, met with multiple Congressional staffers, including those of Congressmen Cory Gardner, Jared Polis, and Senator

Michael Bennet, and also were invited to a private meeting at the White House to discuss the future of primary care medicine in the US. Afterwards Dr. Tusek presented at the national Direct Primary Care Conference, educating an audience of over 100 physicians about implementing direct care models like Nextera into their practice. Nextera Healthcare was unveiled and launched during a Carbon Valley Chamber of Commerce event held at Adams Bank and Trust in November 2011, during which the physicians introduced the Tri-town community to their novel primary care + urgent care program offering unlimited visits, no copays, 24/7 service for a low monthly fee ranging from $39/mo (for children) to $99/mo. “For less than what you pay for your cell phone or TV bill we are pleased to offer a full spectrum program providing pediatrics, gynecology, adult medicine, and urgent care,” explained Dr. Tusek. In addition, Dr. Flanagan pointed out that, “a single ER visit for a few stitches will cost more than a year of unrestricted care with our program, with no copays or upcharges for any service we can provide in the office around the clock.” Since their announcement three years ago, the doctors have been busy. They have added two new office locations (in Longmont and Boulder) in addition to their original North Vista Medical Center, located in Firestone; they have added three new physicians to their practice: Carrie Wilcox, MD, Kristin von Konynenberg, MD, and Charles Tawa, MD, as well as an acupuncturist, chiropractor, and personal trainers. And now

their program, Nextera Healthcare, which has enrolled over 1000 members, has expanded across the state of Colorado with six new affiliate practices including two in Brighton, two in Colorado Springs, one in Lafayette, and another in Longmont. Many other practices are planning on joining soon. Both Dr. Flanagan and Tusek were recently named in the Who’s Who of Direct Primary Care physicians by a national news organization, and are steering committee members of a national coalition of physicians devoted to meaningful, sustainable, and affordable solutions to the US healthcare crisis (www.dpcare.org). Nextera Healthcare plans to have the program available in an extensive network of primary care practices to serve the majority of communities across Colorado by the end of 2014. The program is also working with a large health insurance company to create a “wrap plan” for Nextera Healthcare which would include coverage for hospitalizations and major surgeries and would be available on our Colorado state health exchange (Connect for Health Colorado) by January 2015. Nextera Healthcare is very proud to be the healthcare provider of the employees of the Town of Frederick, Town of Firestone, Town of Lochbuie, Left Hand Brewery, Comida Restaurant, Radius Real Estate, Carbon Valley Heating and Air, Tri-Star Heating and Air, McCarty’s Pub, Tessaract Solutions, Fabulous Finds, RiteHealth Solutions, and many other fine local businesses.

More than 800 Pack the Park for Firestone’s First Food & Flick Friday

Firestone was the place to be this past Friday, June 6, 2014, as more than 800 people packed Hart Park for the Town’s first Food & Flick Friday event. Attendees flocked to the food trucks, played games, had their faces painted, listened to live music, snacked on popcorn and watched Frozen on the big screen. A special treat was the appearance of the Frozen princess who visited with guests at the event and performed live before the movie began. Food trucks have become the latest in full-fledged mobile restaurants with seasoned chefs offering a variety of scrumptious gourmet fare. With the trucks selling out within a few hours, the Town is already working to book more trucks for the upcoming Food & Flick Friday events. The Carbon Valley Park & Recreation District kept things lively with movie-focused games such as freeze tag, frozen toezies, snowman building and ice cube races. Face painting decorated kids’ faces with princess crowns and cartoon characters. The Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District made an appearance with a fire truck for kids to check out and have photos taken with firemen. Ash Ganley provided live music, and event sponsor Encana Oil & Gas provided free water and popcorn as the movie started. The Food & Flick Friday series runs throughout the season on four additional event dates. The lineup includes: • July 11 Settlers Park, 11447 Deerfield Drive, Firestone Movie: Homeward Bound Music by Dave Davis • July 25 Hart Park, 467 Jackson Ave., Firestone Movie: Despicable Me 2 Music by the Country Music Project • August 8 Hart Park, 467 Jackson Ave., Firestone Movie: Little Giants Music by Lara Ruggles The events begin at 6 p.m. with the live music, games, face painting and food truck service.

Water Safety Tips for Summer Time Fun zzIn order to ensure an enjoyable and safe summer, protect yourself and your children by taking these simple precautions when engaging in recreational activities involving water: The most important safety measure is to watch your children constantly when they are at the beach, near the pool or any containers of water. Many kids will not or may not be able to call out or splash when they are in danger. zzDrain containers or kiddie pools as soon as you are finished using them. zzAlways enter the water feet first. zzNever swim alone, and don’t let other adults, teens or children swim alone. zzMake sure the water is deep enough (at least 9 feet deep, according to the American Red zzCross) before jumping or diving. If you cannot verify the depth, it is best to gradually enter and not jump in. zzIf you can’t swim or don’t know CPR, enroll yourself in classes. A significant number of downings have been prevented because parents had these skills. zzDo not enter the water if you have consumed alcohol or medication: each year, up to half of all adult drowning cases is linked to alcohol use. zzDo not chew gum or eat food while in the water—you could choke. zzIntroduce your kids to the water early in age. Use bath time to familiarize them with floating and going underwater. Enroll them in swimming and CPR classes as soon as possible. zzUse only certified life preservers and floatation devices. Don’t rely on water wings or air floats for safety. If you witness someone drowning: 1. Alert another person in the area and Call 911 immediately. Make sure someone keeps visual contact with the person experiencing difficulty at all times so that a proper location can be given to emergency crews when they arrive. 2. ONLY if the person is close enough, throw a floatable object to them, or extend a rope or a pole to them and pull them to safety. 3. ONLY if you are an experienced swimmer AND the above option did not work, should you enter the water. zzBring a floatation device with a rope attached that is strong enough to support both you and the person experiencing trouble. zzPUSH the floatation device to the person once you are close enough to them zzDO NOT get so close to the person that they can grab you. People experiencing emergencies in the water often panic and grab on to the first thing they come in contact with. If it happens to be you, they may push you under the water in order to keep themselves afloat. zzIf this happens to you, DO NOT PANIC, simply swim deeper out of the person’s grasp and away from them. zzOnce the person has hold of the floatation device, swim them to safety. This information provided by the Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District. For more information contact us at 303-833-2742 or visit us at www.fffd.us

trucks are being booked for upcoming event dates. The full lineup and appearance dates can be found online at www.ci.firestone.co.us/foodandflickfridays.

Encana Hosts Multi-Jurisdictional Derrick Rescue Training

Encana hosted a multi-jurisdictional training exercise with Mountain View Fire Rescue, FrederickFirestone Fire Protection District, Longmont Fire, and Fort Lupton Fire on June 11, 2014. The objective of the training was to simulate the rescue an unconscious 187 lb. worker located on a rig derrick tower. The four fire agencies & Encana worked together to rescue the victim through three different evolutions. Each evolution required crews to use a different form of rescue and each time crews rescued the worker successfully. “Working with entities such as Encana and our neighboring fire departments gives our crews the ability to test methods of training for unexpected circumstances,” said Assistant Chief Roger Rademacher of Mountain View Fire Rescue. “We are appreciative of businesses that make safety a top priority and that encourage multiagency trainings so that we can all learn from each other.” Encana’s support of the local responder community isn’t just limited to training exercises. Encana also developed a mobile emergency command center for use during Encana related incidents or in support of large scale community incidents like the September 2013 flood event. The mobile unit is equipped with basic spill response materials, cameras, computers, telephones, hard hats, and the technology required to enhance communication and response during an incident. “The mobile unit means we can respond fast and efficiently—we’re ready—whenever and wherever we’re needed.” said Danny Knutson, Manager of Field Safety, DJ Basin at Encana. “Having the ability to deploy our mobile command center provides the technology and resources response teams need so that they can focus on the incident at hand.” Encana and MVFR would also like to acknowledge and thank Basic Energy Services for the use of their rig during this drill.

"Responsible Care"

We are still seeing an increase in the number of walls we paint gray, proving that gray is still a great neutral color. Sherwin Williams is calling gray the new black! True gray is an equal mixture of black and white, with equal values of green, blue and red. Colors that are considered to be neutrals often have hints of other hues and neutral grays are no different. You will find a variety of off grays with undertones of green, blue, yellow, red, purple or brown to name a few. Depending upon the mood you wish to set in your room, choices in this most versatile neutral run from the palest silvers and lightest shades of cloudy skies to the darkest charcoal or slate. You can further set the mood with the sheen - flat, satin, semi-gloss or high gloss, all for different effects. Whether an accent wall, ceiling, trim or the entire room you will find gray adds a sense of personality to your space. Accent it with your favorite colors, (pinks, reds and yellows are classics) or pair them with black or crisp white. You can’t go wrong. Our clients’ favorite grays are below: From Sherwin Williams: Anew Gray SW 7030 - We’re using this the most - A light to medium toned gray A Worldly Gray SW 7043, A soothing light gray Amazing Gray SW 7044, Lighter with some brown/beige undertones Fawn Brindle SW 7640, Warm, warm Conservative Gray SW 6183, Light with green undertones 2 calm grays that are very neutral: Sensible Hue SW 6198 & Aloof Gray SW 6197

Taken from www.tritowncommunityseniors.com

In Honor of Ms Beulah Meeker When we first started this Nonprofit, Beulah was one of our staunchest supporters. She encouraged us to become an independent organization so that the Seniors would truly be able to have a say in their own destiny. She was also instrumental in suggesting that we use Mr. Rick Samson as our Attorney of Record and we are exceptionally grateful for that, as he was a huge help in getting us incorporated, and his advice has been exceptional in guiding us in the right direction. Beulah's favorite Poet was Edgar A. Guest. She once gave me one of his poems and it has inspired me on so many levels. I told Mr. Samson that when we have our own Senior Center, I would like to place a plaque in the main hall with Beulah's name and picture and this her favorite Poem.

Help "Buy the Bus" for Seniors

Team Work It's all very well to have courage and skill, And it's fine to be counted a star; But the single deed, with its touch of thrill Doesn't tell us the man you are. For there's no lone hand in the game we play, We must work to a bigger scheme; And the thing that counts in the world today Is how do you pull with the team? It is all very well to fight for fame, But the cause is a bigger need; And what you do for the good of the game Counts more than the flash of speed; It's the long, long haul and the dreary grind Where the stars but faintly gleam, And it's leaving all thought of self behind That fashions a winning team.

Firestone Pavement Condition Survey To Facilitate Street Improvement Prioritization Grid

In early June, Firestone residents caught a glimpse of a strange vehicle driving throughout Town with mounted lasers. This was Infrastructure Management Services conducting an intensive pavement condition survey of all Town streets. The survey gathered information regarding all street conditions using a laser to perform a surface condition assessment. Segments of each street will be given a score of what its surface condition is currently, which will allow staff to access which streets need attention now and which can be postponed. Along with the score will be raw data that can help determine the appropriate treatment or repair. The results, which should be made available to the Town by the end of July, will allow the Town to rank and prioritize street rehabilitation with scientific data. With the results, the Town will seek public input and factor that information and the survey data into the next several budget processes to direct funding to make repairs to streets. The street and park dedicated tax increase, which was passed by voters in November 2013, will provide the allocated money to conduct the condition survey and fund street projects moving forward. The Firestone Board of Trustees believes it will be instrumental for the Town to conduct this survey every three to five years to reevaluate the condition of the streets.

You may think it fine to be praised for skill, But a greater thing to do Is to set your mind and to set your will On the goal that's just in view; It's helping your fellow man to score When his chances hopeless seem; It's forgetting self till the game is o'er And fighting for the team. --- Edgar A. Guest Thank you Beulah for sharing this poem and for the inspiration you were to me. We pray that it is always our goal to help those who need help the most and like you, to inspire those who need to have their spirits and hearts lifted to the possibility of hope and love and friendship. Thank you for the friendship you shared. God Bless, Carl Randolph, President, Tri Town Community Seniors.

How to Find a GOOD Church?

Looking for a Church? Here is a 4 step process to make sure you are in a good church! 1. You Must Plan When looking for a job, an investment, a house, a source of entertainment there is always a plan! At your future job you may ask questions like how much money am I will to be paid minimum? What hours would I be willing to work? What are the benefits? Is there are retirement program? What is the insurance like? These are all great questions to be asked. We would study things out before we jump into a situation we do not want to be in. We make a diligent and disciplined effort to make sure we are making the right choice. However, when it comes to make one of the MOST important choices of your life,we do not have a plan of action! So here are a few thoughts on how to make a plan. ● Know What You Believe ● Write a Formal Written Ask any professional editor, copywriter, or PR Plan ● Make Sure You Know professional and you will understand the difficulties What the NonNegotiables Are behind writing a good piece of content/copy that Understanding these 3 points drives engagement and captures reader interest. Has is really important to your success your content ever driven a sale? Are your friends in finding a church. Make sure you liking, commenting or sharing your posts? keep the MAIN things the MAIN thing. These people are plaguing You may need to spend more time on your themselves with churches that engagement strategy. Does it stress consistency? Create consistency? a list of things that you will falter on the True teaching can post on your Facebook Page. Your choice of content should align closely of God's Word. These churches with your goals. Your posting frequency should be informed by your strategy and often focus more on Man centered choice of content. Facebook may control the newsfeed algorithm, but one thing worship than Christ centered worship. never changes: quality content will always trump quantity. 2. You Must Use Tools Organic reach is always best, but boosting posts is inexpensive and effective. The internet is such a You may not want to rush into increasing your post valuable tool...that is if the church

frequency to make up for the drop in organic reach. There is nothing wrong with paying to promote your post. Why? Ultimately, your business should make money from your social media efforts. You may need to develop a more dynamic/agressive strategy and think about specific goals for your social media. Need help?

has a website. You can often listen to sermons or music from their church, and get an overall feel of what they are like. However, in some cases this should not be your final decision maker. Often the websites are very basic in information. You may be able to get a general idea of doctrine, but the overall atmosphere is something that can ONLY be understood through walking through the front door. 3. You Must Be Diligent Treat finding a church like you would finding a job. This church is going to be your spiritual influence! You need to make sure that you leave no stone left unturned. At the same time, make sure that you do not just visit one week and make that your church! Visit several churches, and visit them multiple times. 4. Make it a TOP Priority Choosing a True church is NOT a small thing. And it is not necessarily easy! We must understand what the purpose of church is! It is for the strengthening of ourselves through the GENUINE preaching of the Gospel. The Word of God is something that needs to be the center of the church. If the Word of God is not being preached, opened, or expounded than you are not going to be stretched like you should! If you are more focused on programs than the preaching of the Word of God, you will end up in a church that is shallow and will not teach you to stretch yourself spiritually. The goal of a Christian and going to church is to stretch themselves to be more like Christ. It is not a social gathering and it is NOT about entertainment. Do not exchange TRUTH for entertainment. Pastor Jason Kokenzie would like to invite you to attend services at Firestone Baptist Church. The church meets at Carbon Valley Academy, 4040 Coriolis Way Frederick, CO 80504.

The Accidental Salesperson: How Non-Traditional Salespeople Can Achieve Exceptional Sales Success

This workshop acknowledges that while many entrepreneurs ARE their company's sales force, they’re actually ““accidental salespeople” that find themselves in an important selling role where they must balance their area of professional expertise with their new business development goals. This session is for business owners and entrepreneurs who are: · Frustrated with prospects demanding - and getting costly price concessions. · Suffering through painfully long selling cycles. · Disappointed with inconsistent sales goal attainment. · Concerned with bad sales habits that are eroding margins. About the speaker: Sandler Training has been one of the world's leading sales training companies over the past 45 years with over 230 offices in 28 countries around the world. Bob Bolak is President & CEO of Sandler Training in Boulder County and brings two and half decades of leadership, management and sales experience to the table, with a consistent track record of double and triple digit revenue and profit increases.

Helpful Suggestions for Those Who Grieve

•

Give yourself respites from your grief. Just because you’re grieving doesn’t mean you must always be feeling sad or forlorn. There’s value in sometimes consciously deciding that you’ll think about something else for awhile, or that you’ll do something you’ve always enjoyed doing. Sometimes this happens naturally and it’s only later you realize that your grief has taken a back seat. Let it, this is not an indication you love that person any less or that you’re forgetting them. It’s a sign that you’re human and you need relief from the unrelenting pressure. It can also be a healthy sign you’re healing. Begin your day with your loved one. If your grief is young, you’ll probably wake up thinking of that person anyway. So why not decide that you’ll include her or him from the start? Focus this time in a positive way. Bring to your mind fulfilling memories. Recall lessons that this person taught you, gifts he or she gave you. Think about how you can spend your day in ways that would be keeping in with your loved one’s best self and with your best self. Then carry that best self with you through your day.
