What’s On My Mind

Kelly Martindale, Publisher

As a past employee of The Yuma Pioneer, Greeley Tribune, Dallas Times Herald, Ft Worth Star Telegram & Denver Post, many yrs ago, I applaud your newspaper. It is great to have a Christian, Conservative Publication. Thank all of you for all your efforts.

I do wish that a simple breakdown of the upcoming ballot issues were explained and letters to the editor.

Onward and Upward, Capt. Ernest Borders, Erie

Pure Contentment for 2018

T

he last big holidays of the year are half over. Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving are past, Christmas lights are hanging and twinkling and reminding me that, soon, we will celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year. 2017 is not yet over and I’m already reflecting on these past eleven months…projecting my hopes and fears into 2018…and fretting over neglecting items on my very long “to do” list.

Reflecting, projecting and neglecting… what a non-ending cycle I tread. I’m already stressed about 2018 and December is just starting. Why do I stress?

I want to always be available to those I care about when they need me to be available. I want to take care of myself, so I can be around for years to come even though I hate exercising and enjoy food and beverages that are not so good for me to eat and drink. I want to make sure my publications contain the information that readers in Erie, Mead and the Carbon Valley want and need to read. I want to give businesses every opportunity possible to spread the word about their services and products in the most affordable, effective and usable tool available. Plus, I want to fulfill some of my own desires before I expire.

I have the same 24 hours in a day that every other human on this planet has.

How do some people achieve so much and others, like myself, achieve much less? After

all, we are basically the same, we all put our pants on one leg at a time, so they say.

Perhaps it has to do with figuring out what’s really important. The last 3-5 years, I’ve learned to open my eyes and heart instead of putting up barriers and keeping others at arm’s reach. I’ve allowed protective walls to come down, making myself more vulnerable. I’m working on these five areas to help me be the best I can be.

Forgiving others so I can move forward—I get stuck when I am angry at someone. The longer I harbor that anger the more bitter I become. As soon as I forgive, deepdown-let-it-go-forgiv e , I experience freedom. (forgiving unsticks me) Seeing others through eyes of love—I didn’t realize how judgmental I am until I read The Forgotten Way. I’m fi nding that as soon as I think something negative about someone, I must refocus my eyes and my heart and strive to see them the way they were created. I do not know their story, nor what makes them the way they are. (it is not for me to judge) Loving instead of agonizing over the offense—I’ve been attacked verbally, physically, mentally, emotionally, and

Vol. 18, Issue 12

spiritually too…It’s easy to replay the offense over and over until I’m so messed up I can’t think straight or do anything productive. I CHOOSE to repay maliciousness with kindness, love and forgiveness. (I get muddled when I dwell on petty issues) Serving those within my reach—If it’s within my power, I will help another or try to find the help they need.

If my hands and my heart are busy helping others, I cannot stay on my pity pot. (serving helps my gratitude) Thanking instead of asking—I’m learning that if I keep an attitude of gratitude, my heart is filled with joy, continually.

Being thankful for all my needs being supplied helps me forget the things I think I need but don’t have. (helps me realize all I have, already) When I make these actions my priorities, I find that I spend very little time stressed and projecting into the future, feeling like I’m neglecting every little thing.

Instead, I find myself, content, reflecting on the good ways I’ve been able to make another’s life a little easier…that fulfills me and brings me pure contentment.

Reflecting, projecting and neglecting…what a non-ending cycle I tread

Dedication of New Parish Center at Mead's Guardian Angels Catholic Church

P

lease join the Parish Family of Guardian Angels Catholic Church Mead, CO, for the dedication Mass of our new Parish Center on Monday January 1, 2018 at 11:00 AM. Over one hundred years ago determined Catholics bought the old Zion United Brethren Church and dragged the building one mile down County Road 7 to its present location at the corner of Welker and 3rd Street and repurposed and rededicated it as the new Guardian Angels Catholic Church.

Now, Guardian Angels Catholic Church will dedicate their new Parish Center exactly 107 years after the first Mass was said, January 1, 1911. Father Alan Hartway, the pastor, commented, “We have come a long way since 1911 and we are going to go even further!

Faith is alive and well here in Berthoud and Mead. I am very excited to a part of this moment in the History of Guardian Angels. I know God is blessing us.”

This January 1, 2018, will be the dedication of Guardian Angles Parish Center at 11:00 am. Archbishop Aquila will dedicate the Parish Center and celebrate Mass with Father Alan Hartway, C.PP. S., the parish administrator.

O

pen letter to our legislators, Your job is to pass laws to ensure that we feel safe during every day activities. So far this year nearly 100 innocent Americans have been killed in what should be safe public places by gunfire. The common denominator is the use of assault weapons which are designed for the sole purpose of killing people. Thoughts and prayers have not stopped the killing. You need to take action! I am a hunter and gun owner; however, I do not need more than three shots to pursue my game in fair chase. If a hunter needs more than three shots he or she needs to do more practice and sharpen their skills. Federal law requires that duck hunters cannot carry a gun which holds more than three shells. Why you ask? Because it saves ducks. Don't our children and citizens deserve as much? What about the 2nd amendment you say? When the 2nd amendment was written we didn't have assault weapons capable of firing many shots per second. The government can buy back the assault weapons and give them to the military without infringing on the 2nd amendment. Citizens would still have their hunting rifles to form a militia if necessary. I feel that assault weapons in the hands of civilians are nothing more than a toy. They go out to the range on the weekends and shoot up hundreds of dollars’ worth of ammo on targets and cement blocks for recreation.

To give up this form of recreation would be a small sacrifice for a small percentage of our population while potentially saving many innocent lives. We have given up other freedoms in the name of safety. We cannot drive as fast as we want on the roads. We cannot drink and drive. We cannot buy the more powerful and spectacular fireworks. We cannot buy dynamite.

These laws have undoubtedly saved many lives. We also need to tighten up on back ground checks to help keep weapons out of the hands of people with questionable character. Please do you job and earn your pay.

Dear Editor...

Thank You Firestone Residents For Your Support In Building A New Police Facility

F

irestone residents voted in favor of a 06 sales tax increase (on taxable items) to build a new police station in their town.The Task Force Committee led by Town Trustee, George Heath along with the Campaign Committee Chair, Candice Bahnson efforts resulted in a 1771 vs 816 victory Firestone at the election on Tuesday, November 7.

Chairman Heath and the Town Board of Trustees selected a team that represented a cross section of the entire town to ensure that every voice was heard regarding the election. The Task Force began meeting in February, 2017 and met once a month for five months. The George K. Baum Land Company was the guiding force for the committee.

Committee leaders, Lou Matthews, Parker Ridgely, Leo Martinez, Dave Fornof, Kirk Fry, and Committee Treasurer, Sean Dogherty, banded together to communicate the message of just how needed the new police station is for the growing community of Firestone.

The Task Force Committee had an attendance of 26 out of all 28 meetings They carried the message of the sign into the entire community: “The Right Plan – The Right Time – The Right Cost: Yes on 2A.”This message resonated so well with the Community that when Police Chief David Montgomery and Town Trustees, Doug Sharp and Samantha Miering announced the election results there was a resounding shout of joy from the crowd assembled at Pepper’s Fireside Grill.

Mayor Paul Sorensen congratulated the supporters and all who worked so hard to see this become a reality for the town of Firestone.

The new Police Station will house the Police Department, Municipal Court, Committee Meeting Room, Town Board Meeting Room. The facility will be designed so future additions can be made so it will become the Firestone Municipal Center. The groundbreaking for the new facility is scheduled to take place in 2018 with completion in 2019.

Our thanks to everyone who helped make this much needed facility become a reality.

z Town of Firestone Residents Approve Funding for Police Station by 2-to-1 Margin.

Thank you, Firestone residents Paul Sorensen for your overwhelming support on Election Day! z On November 7, 2018, Firestone residents voted in support of public safety in a big way, with the passage of ballot issue 2A, which will fund the construction of a new police station and courthouse through a $0.6% sales and use tax. That means on the purchase of $100, the tax will be 60 cents. z Town leadership understands the need to balance fiscal responsibility with the unprecedented growth that Firestone has seen

z Christmas Tree Recycling- As a service to our residents, free Christmas tree recycling is available December 26-January 7. Recycle your Christmas tree at Centennial Field under the blue water tower. Please remove all Joe Baker ornaments, lights, tinsel, and the tree stand. It is important to never burn your Christmas tree in the fireplace or wood stove. Pines, firs and other evergreens have a high content of flammable turpentine oils. Burning the tree may contribute to creosote buildup and risk a chimney fire. z Holiday Hours- Dacono City Offices will be closed December 25 and 26 in observance of Christmas. Offices will be closed on Monday, January 1 in observance of the New Year. z Election Results- Kathryn Wittman and Debbie Nasta were

over the last 10 years, during which time we have nearly doubled our population. Still, we don’t take any tax increase lightly. Careful planning coupled with a clear vision set forth by the Board of Trustees and Police Chief David Montgomery, set the stage for this critical public safety project to move forward, and with support of Firestone residents at the polls, we are now set to break ground on the new facility in the Spring of 2018. z “On behalf of the entire Police Department, I am grateful for the support of Firestone residents on ballot measure 2A,” said Chief Montgomery. “By an overwhelming margin, residents voted in support of furthering our commitment to the public safety and wellbeing of Firestone residents, our officers and staff. We are excited to continue moving forward with the construction of the new police facility and courthouse, and will keep residents apprised of our progress along the way.” z Located on the southeast corner of Colorado Blvd. and Sable Ave. in Central Park, the new police station will be designed to meet our community’s current and future public safety needs. The new facility will provide sufficient space to properly address front-line operations, including: ● Booking and holding detainees ● Separating detainees from the general public

z A much-needed courtroom, records area, and hazardous and biological materials storage area will also be included at the new facility. The energy efficient building will help reduce operating costs, and current projections estimate an additional $50,000 of annual savings by eliminating the need for the Town to lease other office space. z It’s common knowledge that the Police Department’s current facility is operating well beyond its capacity. As Firestone continues to grow, so will our police department. To provide the highest level of public safety, the new police facility will be built with growth in mind. By 2028, the Department is expected to have nearly 60 employees, which is double the size of its current staff size, with a projected 75 employees by 2038. The new police station is designed and sized to meet the community’s needs for the next 20 years, and the site will allow for future expansion, as needed. z The Town of Firestone is committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of residents today and every day. With the passage of ballot question 2A, we will be able to prioritize public safety, more efficiently and effectively than ever. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our residents on Election Day.

reelected to the office of City Councilmember. The following Home Rule Charter Amendment questions passed: concerning city council meetings frequency, concerning composition of planning and zoning commission, and concerning the treasurer and city administrator title changes. The following Home Rule Charter Amendments questions failed: concerning the mayor pro-tem and concerning compensation for elected officials and boards and commissions. z Snow Removal- Winter is here and that means snow! The safety of the traveling public is the paramount concern of the City. Dacono has an adopted snow response plan and map to serve as a guide for city operations and to inform roadway users how snow removal is prioritized. Factors affecting snow and ice control operations include snowfall rate and accumulation; moisture content; temperature; time of day, night, or week; wind velocity; and the duration of the storm. The City's goal during any snowstorm is to keep primary streets open and safe for the public so that traffic continues to move safely and efficiently on city streets. Although the City strives to keep all lanes of traffic moving during extreme weather conditions, travel may be limited to one lane of vehicular traffic in each direction. While the City will attempt not to block residential and business driveways with plowed snow, it is very likely to happen. The use of street sanding abrasives and chemicals will be dictated by specific weather and road conditions of each snow event. Don’t forget, sidewalks must be cleared of snow by the property owner within 48 hours of the end of a snow storm.

z Quarterly Newsletter- Starting in 2018, the City Connection will be published quarterly (January- Winter Edition, April- Spring Edition, July-Summer Edition and October-Fall Edition). News and events will continue to be available on CityofDacono.com, CityofDacono on Facebook and DaconoColorado on Twitter. If your household does not have access to the Internet, please contact Ashley Taylor at (303) 833.2317 and request a monthly summary of key information and upcoming dates be sent to your home address. z Holiday Trash Pick-Up Schedule- American Disposal Services office will be closed on December 25 and January 1. Collection will be on a one-day delay. If your trash and recycling pickup is normally scheduled for Thursday, services will be provided on Friday. Remember, on make-up days, crews come through neighborhoods earlier than normal, please make sure items are to curbside the night before. z Recycling Christmas Waste-The holiday season is here and while it's full of festive family fun and cheer it's also the time of year when millions of tons of household waste is dumped into landfill. According to ecocycle, Americans throw away 25% more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year's holiday period than any other time of year. The extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage, or about 1 million extra tons per week! There are lots of easy ways to go green this holiday season such as using LED lights, rechargeable batteries and stopping junk mail like unwanted catalogs.

hearts are now full of Christmas Cheer. z I would like to remind you of a few local opportunities that will allow you to spend even more time with family and friends and to possibly even create some special memories at the same time. z The annual “Christmas in the Park Celebration” is on Saturday, December 2nd. The festivities begin at 3:30 pm and continue shortly beyond 7:00 pm. Please visit the town website at www.townofmead.org to find a listing of the scheduled events and registration forms for the Santa’s workshop, the annual parade and the Chili Cookoff. z Also, if you are looking for ways to give back and spread

the holiday cheer this season, I encourage you to participate in the Town of Mead Giving Tree Project and/or the Mead Community Food Bank. Information about these local opportunities can be obtained by calling the Town Hall (970-535-4477) or the Mead Community Food Bank (970-535-4439). Your consideration of these local opportunities is greatly appreciated and are a fantastic way to pay it forward. z From my family to yours, “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”!

Totally

Food for the Soul-Travel Expectations

T

onight my wife and I leave for a few days in San Diego, California for a couple’s conference and some R&R time.

Anticipation of warm days, sunny beaches, plus a few “adventures” await us. Since being involved in ministry leaves little time for these kinds of deviations, we both expect a blessing from this ‘detour’ in our normal life.

Riding in an open cockpit bi-plane for a twenty minute tour of the city will be our first excitement the next day after the flight from Denver via Phoenix to our destination city on the west coast. The couple’s conference (called Weekend to Remember) begins that evening and goes through Sunday morning. Having been to at least 3 of these delightful ‘marriage tune-ups’ before, we know what to expect on that front and look forward to the time of building our relationship of nearly 50 years. Maybe we’ll get a free book for being the longest “oldie-weds”.

On ‘date night’ Saturday we have booked a 3 hour dinner cruise on a yacht in the bay. That should prove to be a joyous time of dining and dancing that will perhaps be far more relaxing than the bi-plane flight. For sure my wife thinks so… it will likely be our first and last travel on a yacht! Probably will in some ways resemble our ocean cruise to the Bahamas a few years ago.

What else lies ahead on the 2 days we have after the conference is yet to be revealed. Sometimes we like to “play it by ear” and just do what seems most appealing at the time. Those who know us

NEW

will hear about the rest of the story upon our return.

In a similar way, we humans love to anticipate things that are yet around the corner for us. Be it a vacation or seeing family or friends from out of town, it is exciting to plan and prepare and experience these moments in life as we build memories with the ones we love.

Allow me to tell you of another huge expectation I have of travel far away.

In March of 2018 we shall once again embark on The Exodus Tour- travelling via Frankfort, Germany to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel over a two week period. Much elation to see once again what we were blessed to see in 2016 for the first time.

Our expectation is to better understand the places and people and history and to come home fully recharged for ministry here. Walking in the very places our Lord did is exciting, to say the least. But there is one more travel destination I must share with you that tops all others.

That would be our greatest future trip when we leave this life and enter Heaven.

Those who fail to realize the realities of heaven and hell will be in for a terrible surprise one day when their number is called by the Grim Reaper and they “wake up dead” in a new location. Only they will not be dead, but very much alive. Death here on earth is very much like a door-

thus the saying “at death’s door”. One out of every one will come to the end of life on earth one day, and then eternity and all of its realities will be staring you in the face.

Whether you wake up in heaven or in hell is hinged upon what you did with Jesus. I have been in ministry to declare His life and love to all who will listen and heed the gospel message. We get to choose whether or not to believe in the Savior, and it is an ‘inside job’ for YOU to make up your mind about how you will respond to this message of life from the Lord. When I got serious about the Lord in 1970 I began to read the New Testament to discover what I could about this man Jesus, and as I read I could not resist becoming a follower of His. The truth will set you free, and I became freed of my sin debt on Valentine’s Day after much contemplation and wrestling with my own conscience. The Bible says that “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17) May I suggest that if you do not yet know Him in a personal way (as opposed to intellectually acknowledging His existence), that you take some time to reconsider Who you are dealing with in Jesus Christ. He is NOT JUST an historical figure who walked around doing good deeds, but the Creator of the universe.

Most of us like to travel to new and exciting destinations. The very most

exciting destination possible is Heaven, where God the Father resides, and all who make this commitment to Jesus will be joining in one day. make your travel plans NOW rather than waiting and hoping you can catch a last-minute flight.

Booking ahead has many benefits, not the least of which is much time to enjoy the anticipation and excitement of sharing this free trip with others. Yes it is free for us but cost Jesus everything. Read all about it in the Gospels, and then book your flight. You will never have regrets for learning what you need to do, but you will have eternal regrets if you choose to go your own way into the smoking section of eternity.

Healthy Carbon Valley Integrative Therapies Offers New Muscle Therapies

By Jan Sciacca

C

arbon Valley Integrative Therapies, a wellness studio dedicated to keeping you pain free and active, has opened in old town Frederick. Stacy Flaherty, an experienced orthopedic and sports massage therapist and new Frederick resident, launched her Carbon Valley business in August, after having a comparable business in Fort Collins for 13 years.

A new form of therapy Stacy is offering is Integrative Therapy. It is results-based, muscle therapy. No client's treatments are the same and can include orthopedic & sports massage, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), cupping therapy, vibration therapy (TheraGun), and kinesiology taping. Each session is focused & tailored to speed up recovery, reduce your chance of injury, improve performance, reduce pain, improve circulation and improve mobility/ ROM.

Patients vary in age from high school students dealing with acute sports injuries to senior clients that deal with chronic pain daily.

Since childhood Stacy has had a keen interest in how the body worked and how to heal it. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Colorado State University. It was at CSU that Stacy learned the art of kinesiology taping and the various uses of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM).

One of the unique services that Stacy offers does not up-charge for enhancements. This allows customers to tailor and

customize their session. Enhancements are Medicated Massage (CBD Oils), doTERRA AromaTouch, doTERRA Signature Facial, Hot Stone Massage, Detoxifying Back Treatment and Salt Glow Body Treatment.

In 2004, Stacy graduated from Boulder College of Massage Therapy, specializing in orthopedic and sports massage. BCMT taught her a variety of modalities including myofascial release, trigger point and cupping therapy.

She uses a variety of integrative therapies to capture a unique balance that is right for each individual. Stacy says her approach is simple to describe, “I give each

of my clients the same quality of care - the same attention, respect and compassion that I give to my family and friends.”

Stacy loves to run, hike, play with her 2 dogs, workout at the rec center and read. She is a full-time career firefighter/ paramedic. Even with her current first responder schedule, she can run her wellness studio nearly full time.

A new client special consists of receiving a 60-minute session for an introductory $45.

CV Integrated Therapies is conveniently located in old town Frederick at 541 Oak Street, Suite 3, Frederick. The company can be reached at 970.568.6860, cvintegrativetherapies@gmail.com and cvintegrativetherapies.com. Please call, email or book online. Treatments are available by appointment only Mon. – Thurs, 9am-7pm, Fri., 9am-6pm and Sat./ Sun., 9am-3pm.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Stress & Civilization

T

he topic of “stress” comes as a request from one of my sisters. I thanked her for the idea, and thought that it also seems like an appropriate topic for end of the year festivities, since the holidays can sometimes be stressful. Rather than echo well known and valid remedies for stress such as exercise and meditation, the focus of this article will include a couple of aspects of the “civilized” stressors... Let's ponder just two aspects of “psychosocial stress,” predominantly social media / disconnectedness, and our basic human nature that desperately cleaves to order in an unpredictable world.

People crave stability and predictability, but we live in this changeable place. For example, we’ve had fairly predictable weather patterns for about one hundred years, and now we are noticing a shift, and this puts people on edge. Likewise, we like our family, friends, neighbors and business to be predictable as well. None of this is realistic. We humans are here in this unpredictable place, and with less social connection and support partly because families live far apart, and also the manner in which we now communicate.

It is obvious that society has changed; it is less and less that families sit down and eat dinner together each day, or that friends and neighbors get together for a meal or a cup of tea. Rather, we are communicating through a variety of social media, emails, texts, but if we’re lucky, a phone call. However, there are many cultures that still value getting together every day, (usually to eat!) regardless of the fact that it is in the middle of the day, during business hours. For some, the importance of being socially connected comes before business. During these meals, the entire family, and the extended family, come to know any sensitive situation the other may be experiencing. These family members who value this “connectedness” come to know that what might appear to be “confrontation” to outsiders, is really

just everyone showing that they care. No matter how uncomfortable and straight forward such closeness can be, research shows that the cultures that still “close up shop” to eat together on a regular basis have lower rates of heart disease and less problems with cholesterol.

For the most part, we are no longer very socially connected in the U.S. These new forms of communication give a false sense of connectedness. For example, we may write a text and make it sound as if we’re happy, when really the writing is taking place with many tears. The examples are endless, and at the same time, these new forms of communication are very helpful when relating basic information. So what to do? How about if we sit down and eat together on a regular basis. Use email to relate basic information, such as logistics, etc. But why not wait to speak with one another for the dynamic (unpredictable or changeable) situations...or if nothing else, use a phone to hear each other’s voice?

That feeling of urgency is what seems to be a large part of stress. The urgency would probably dissipate a little if we take the time to “close up shop” and eat together, but this is most likely unrealistic as well.

Is it possible to strike a balance?

Anything is possible. And it just might require that we stop, think and eat ...and continue being optimistic as we prepare for some unpredictable situation.

Getting Results & Another Challenge Coming In January!

T

ime For Change Personal Training and Fitness Group started a 10 Week Healthy Weight Loss Challenge in September 2017.

The purpose of this challenge is for the women to improve their overall health by losing fat, gaining lean muscle mass, and to help improve their nutrition and water intake on a daily basis.

The winner of the Fall 2017 10 Week Healthy Weight Loss Challenge is Tammy Cahill of Longmont, who lost 15.4 lbs (9.52%), lost 15.5 inches overall, and earned $330 from the buy-in fees at the start of the challenge. Tammy accomplished this weight loss success by attending my fitness group several times per week, plus eating healthy and consuming low amounts of carbohydrates.

F

rederick Police Department’s K9 Buran has received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vest was sponsored by fundraiser hosted by April Mendez of GotYour6 Couture, LLC of Fountain, CO and embroidered with the sentiment “Gifted by the Mendez Family, in memory of Bobby”.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a 501c(3) charity located in East Taunton, MA whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States.

The non-profit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially lifesaving body armor for their four-legged K9 officers. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provided over 2,600 protective vests in 50 states, through private and corporate donations, at a cost of over 2.1 million dollars.

“Part of the job of a Police K9 is to be sent in to dangerous situations first in order to keep their human partner safe.

Buran goes above and beyond this during his role as a SWAT Team K9,” said Buran’s partner, Officer Andy Fairbanks. “This vest will be potentially lifesaving for Buran and we greatly appreciate Vested Interest in K9s’ generosity.”

The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate.

The donation to provide one protective vest for a law enforcement K9 is $950.00. Each vest has a value between $1,744 – $2,283, and a five-year warranty and an average weight of 4-5 lbs. There is an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provides information, lists events, and accepts taxdeductible donations of any denomination at www.vik9s.org or mailed to P.O. Box 9 East Taunton, MA 02718.

Brookfield Residential has ‘Best Community Amenity’ Colorado homebuilder recognized by MAME in two categories

B

rookfield Residential of Colorado has been named as the local company with the Best Community Amenity, according to the presenting sponsors of the annual Marketing & Merchandising Excellence (MAME) Awards.

Specifically, Brookfield was recognized for its Peninsula Park plans at the Barefoot Lakes community in Firestone. Peninsula Park will allow residents to maximize their enjoyment of the nearby lakes and various forms of outdoor activities. At Peninsula Park, residents will jog, bicycle, use nonmotorized boats, engage in nature photography and more.

At the MAME awards ceremony, attended by dozens of local developers and homebuilders, Brookfield was also recognized in the “Best Brochure” category for its Barefoot Lakes field guide.

Brookfield’s familiarity with the MAME awards goes back to 2013 when Brookfield first won an award for its Signature 2 floorplan in Midtown at Clear Creek, and then again for its Freestyle 2 floorplan and its sales office in Brighton Crossings. Brookfield has won multiple MAME awards over the years.

“While these awards specifically recognize the work we are doing internal to Brookfield Residential, it’s important to remember that the work is inspired by the customers and our sense of what it will take to satisfy them the most,” said

Marni Shwartz, marketing manager for Brookfield. “We are pleased to accept these MAME awards, and hope to win more in the coming years.”

The awards are sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver and others.

Finish 2017 Strong with VIDEO!

“Ov

er the next three years, the biggest trend in our products will be the growth of video. When done well, video brings us closer together.

We’ve found that communities formed around video like TV shows or sports create a greater sense of belonging than many other kinds of communities.

We’ve found that Live videos generate 10 times the number of interactions and comments as other videos.

But too often right now, watching video is just a passive consumption experience. Time spent is not a goal by itself. We want the time people spend on Facebook to encourage meaningful social interactions. So we’re going to focus our products on all the ways to build community around the video that people share and watch. That’s something Facebook can uniquely do.”

--Mark Zuckerberg

Finish 2017 strong with video for your business. Do you have an iPhone? If so, you’ve got a movie making and editing tool right at your fingertips – no need to download an app! Just record a short video (under three minutes). Videos of products are doing well. If you’re going to talk, do a “show and tell”. It looks more natural and gives you something to hold

in the video.

Go to Pictures in your phone. Beneath the video there is a small circle with three dots in it. Click on that to edit your video. Add the name of your business. If your video has product in it, add one of the music beds that is already available. Then press done. That’s it. Go to Facebook on your phone and act like you’re going to upload a photo. Your video will come up as an option. Choose it and load it. It may take a couple minutes, but Facebook will notify when it’s done.

Then edit and add content however you’d like when it’s on Facebook. Watch your video rack up views!

Sellstate Peak Realty Opens its Doors in Longmont

Vol. 18, Issue 12

Big Snow? Ariens Gets the Job Done!

Brett Felz, Broker|Owner

2. Breakthrough Technology: Sellstate’s exclusive technology package (PowerSuite) is the most complete and comprehensive real estate technology package in the industry. Powered by the national juggernaut Homes.com, our cloud-based PowerSuite keeps the agents leads, tools, and contacts at their fingertips. A contact management software, email drip campaigns, extensive neighborhood reports, and professional marketing packages are just a few of the amazing tools this software provides to our agents.

3. Revenue Sharing: Sellstate’s unique Agent Asset Development Program (AAD) is by far the BEST residual income program in the industry. AAD allows our agents to recruit other agents into the Sellstate system and make a very profitable secondary income stream, all the while not cutting into the agents 90%+ commission earnings. Apart from the fact that the AAD program pays our agents almost an average of $1500 a month, with some agents making over $20,000 a month, this program is will-able and is structured as a true retirement program for our agents.

I truly look forward to bringing this amazing business and service to the Longmont area.

With amazing tools like these, it allows our agents to turn around and give their clients the top level real estate service they so rightfully deserve.

At the end of the day… that’s what it’s all about!

Decorative Painting

T

here are a multitude of decorative painting techniques - distressing, marbling, stippling, combing, sponging and dragging to name a few.

The most requested finishes are glazes, stripes, color blocking, sheen striping and stencils. Applied correctly, all add visual interest to a room and can enhance artwork.

Most popular is glazing, a hand applied finish that adds depth to your color. Glazes range from transparent to opaque. The final look can be a soft color, a country wash, a faux leather and more.

Glazing is particularly nice on cabinetry.

Striping is as it sounds, one or more stripes - horizontally or vertically, any width or color, on walls, ceilings or both. Pastels in the nursery and sports teams’ colors in

older kid’s rooms are the most popular.

Stripes can widen or narrow a room or make a ceiling seem taller or lower. We paint bedrooms, dining and living rooms in sheen striping - painting stripes in the same color but a different sheen than the base coat, usually for a monochromatic look. The base is usually painted in an eggshell finish and the stripes are usually semi-gloss or gloss.

Color blocking involves painting random blocks, usually a mix of squares and rectangles. Planning is most important. Block size and placement must be drawn out carefully in an appealing size, and pattern and color placement must be spot on. The results are so pleasing, clients often decide not to add art to their walls. Another great look is a Harlequin (diamond) pattern. Usually painted with two similar colors, it is a wonderful background for the rest of your room.

These can be labor intensive, and although some require measuring and leveling, the finished results are stunning.

t’s not easy to successfully challenge a traditional business model, but in 2002 co-founders of Sellstate Realty Systems in Fort Myers, FL. Art Darmanin and Neil Cresswell decided to do just that. Their vision was to create a successful real estate system that provided the tools to their brokers and agents that allowed them to take their business to the next level.

In 2010, I joined the Sellstate Family here in Westminster. A brand-new agent and father at that time, things were exciting but nerve racking to say the least. I was blessed that I chose such a great company from the start. The saying goes, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” but I always thought “well that’s not true” when I explained the Sellstate model to agents.

I believe in the business model and culture so much that I decided to purchase a Sellstate Franchise for myself. Sellstate Peak Realty will officially be opening in Longmont in November 2017.

Operating through 9 states, Sellstate Peak Realty will be the 6th Sellstate office opened in the state of Colorado. Having national partnerships with companies like Homes.com, Zillow, and RIS Media have only strengthened the rock-solid foundation that Art and Neil started back in 2002. RIS Media has gone as far to coin Sellstate “The World’s First Complete Real Estate System”! So, what’s the fuss all about?

Sellstate prides themselves on a simple but effective 3 pillar philosophy to provide to all their agents: 1. High Commissions: In an age where brokerages are taking more of the agent’s money and giving less back, Sellstate provides the opposite and allows the agent to retain OVER 90% of their commission that they so rightfully earned.

Isn’t Everyone Who Sells Real Estate a of REALTORS. REALTOR? REALTORS are committed

A

ll real estate licensees are not the same. In Colorado every real estate broker is licensed by the State, but only those licensees who are members of the National Association of REALTORS are properly called REALTORS. By joining the REALTOR Association, REALTORS have agreed to subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. The Colorado Real Estate Commission has rules and regulations that cover all licensees, but the REALTOR Code of Ethics goes well beyond what is required in the law. If you would like a copy of the Code, just let me know.

All members of a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) agree to abide by the rules of the MLS, regardless of whether they are REALTORS or not, but these rules are for activities between brokers. The REALTOR Code of Ethics goes beyond those rules as well with Standards of Practice as to how REALTORS deal with the public. This means that the REALTOR can be held accountable for their actions through a grievance process at the Board

to protecting private property rights.

No other organization is involved at our local, state and national government to work on your behalf in protecting the right for you to own property. The REALTOR organizations spend millions of dollars and countless man hours every year in this endeavor. Many REALTORS volunteer their time and invest their own money to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy the benefits of owning real estate.

REALTORS are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly.

REALTORS are committed to helping your dream of home ownership a reality.

Make sure your agent is a REALTOR!

The Carbon Valley Consumer Report—Bringing Residents Information About Area Businesses

United Power Board Appoints Alquist to Open Board Seat

T

he United Power Board of Directors has appointed Keith Alquist to the board. A Brighton resident for more than 25 years, Alquist was selected from a strong slate of candidates that submitted applications for consideration.

Alquist will fill the South District seat vacated by the resignation of Bob Grant in August, and serve the remaining term, just over two years.

“The selection of Keith to fill this board seat is a win for the cooperative members,” stated James Vigesaa, Board President. “Keith brings a rich background in cooperative business and an intimate knowledge of the United Power community to this position.”

Alquist served as Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer for the American Pride Co-op for more than 20 years, retiring after the co-op merged with Agfinity in 2012. In this position he served cooperative members throughout Brighton, Ft. Lupton, Hudson and Mead.

He is a long-term member of the National Society of Accountants for Cooperatives (NSAC) which also serves electrical

cooperatives.

Also an active community member, Alquist is a member of the Brighton Rotary club, which spearheads a Readto-Me project at South Elementary, a dictionary project for third graders, and the distribution of U.S. Constitution booklets to fifth graders.

“I believe in meeting challenges ‘head-on’ and getting them resolved before they become serious issues,” stated Alquist. “I also believe in long-range planning for the future to identify issues, whether they are supply, generation, environmental, or regulatory issues, and be ready to face these issues before they become insurmountable.”

United Power, your Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative delivering electricity to over 82,000 customer meters at homes, businesses, and farms in Colorado's north central front range.

Learn more at www.unitedpower.com or follow the cooperative at Facebook. com/UnitedPower or Twitter.com/ UnitedPowerCoop.

Frederick Police Sergeant Dave Egan Promoted to Police Commander Commander Egan fills vacancy left by Chief Norris

T

own of Frederick Police Chief Todd Norris promoted Sergeant Dave Egan to the position of Frederick’s new Police Commander effective yesterday, November 13th. This fills the vacancy left

by Norris when he was appointed as the new Police Chief in August.

Commander Egan has been with the department since August 1996. During this time, Commander Egan has overseen all areas of the department to include patrol, investigations, Code Enforcement, School Resource Officers and training. He has also served as a Team Leader and Supervisor for the Longmont Swat Team. Commander Egan was promoted to Sergeant in 2002 and assigned as Senior Sergeant in 2007.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology from Metropolitan State University of Denver.

He has also successfully completed the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development program completing all required classes, earning the “Trilogy” recognition for completing the program. In 2012, Commander Egan was selected as one of 50 reginal participants to attend the FBI LE Executive Command College held in Montana.

He also completed the IACP Leadership in Police Organizations training program and the CACP’s

Supervisory Institute as well as several other leadership and management courses throughout the years. In 2017, he started serving as an assessor for the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), which involves reviewing police departments’ policies and procedures throughout Colorado to make sure they are in compliance with CACP Professional Standards.

“We’re excited to see what Commander Egan will bring to our team in this new role,” said Chief Norris.

“His professionalism and knowledge of law enforcement’s best practices will be instrumental in bringing excellent leadership to our officers and sergeants.”

EDUCATION TTER S A M

Inspiring Innovators

I

nnovation is the creation and ideation of better solutions that answer unarticulated needs to problems that don't even yet exist. This year, Imagine Charter School at Firestone began to better equip the innovators of the future through a revised technology class, now simply and aptly titled, “Innovation.” The vision for this class was the collective efforts of a team to better answer the question,” How do we foster inquiry and curiosity to allow students to ethically and responsibly create for the world ahead?” The team tasked to answer that had immeasurable and invaluable ideas and they ultimately had to funnel those ideas into what would generate the most creative growth while utilizing Design Thinking. They also realized that they simply didn’t have the means to teach things like robotics or design time, outside of computer access. With great ideas, but limited resources, they sought out ways to enhance what would be their inaugural year of Innovation.

Kelsey Evers, Innovation Coordinator at Imagine Charter School, set out to find tools and resources to do just that. Her first big break was to partner with Code. org to learn both their elementary and middle school curriculum that introduces students to coding through app creation, the basics of HTML and CSS, ethical usage of internet, circuit board fundamentals, and algorithms that range from simple to complex. She was sent to Arizona for the week where she was immersed in the unknown and awestruck by the depth that is computer science. However, with a base foundation she at least had somewhere to start, and that support continues as she meets bimonthly with that same core group of Colorado teachers committed to teach computer science to all students regardless of race, gender, or age.

Earlier that summer, however, Imagine Charter School had dreamt of resources they’d use to expand our program and applied to a local company for a generous grant they knew would be a far off shot.

Otterbox is a local company with an incredible nonprofit sector, The Ottercares Foundation, dedicated to inspiring the youth to becoming entrepreneurs and philanthropists. In early October, Imagine Charter School heard that they had made it to the second round of OtterCares grant applicants, and that they’d need to present to their staff a pitch as to how they’d utilize the funds and how it would curate innovation. Bravely, three Imagine students joined Ms. Evers to present the pitch. They spoke their hearts about what these resources would do for our newly created Innovation Lab. The Imagine Charter School students articulated themselves with passion and pride, and at the end of the presentation, and with tears in their eyes, it was announced that Imagine Charter School had been fully funded. Imagine Charter Schoool’s proposal of $24,700 was granted. Ms. Evers and the Imagine students are working hard to make Ottercares proud with how they are planning to challenge the youth to invent, explore, and innovate.

The items Imagine Charter School chose to purchase through the generosity of The OtterCares Foundation, benefit both the robotic strand of design, as well as provided mobile makerspaces so that innovation is not just limited to the Innovation class, but able to benefit all classrooms, maximizing the possible activities available to allow creativity, critical-thinking, and perseverance to thrive throughout Imagine Charter School.

Their robotics now range from Beebots in kindergarten to LEGO Mindstorms in 8th grade. Imagine will also have carts with things from duct tape to PVC pipes and cardboard to LED lights, so that students can breathe life into any design they dream up, in any class.

In addition, Imagine Charter School at Firestone was able to partner with Anadarko, whose hope it is to nurture STEM education. Anadarko did just that when they awarded the school with a check for

Thanks to Anadarko, Imagine Charter School is able to add one more tool to the toolkit that enables teachers to continually inspire their everyday innovators.

The Innovation Lab, though still in its infancy, will continue to focus on learning logic through coding and programming, engineering solutions to posed problems, and learning simple machinery through building. Innovation is a class that is mandatory for all grades, kindergarten through eighth grade. The hope is that over time, rather than accepting defeat, that the maker philosophy will help students persevere by trying new ways, listening to peers, seeking advice, and utilizing trial and error in order to make progress towards, or achieve, their goals without limitations. Imagine Charter School wants students to think critically and creatively and robotics and engineering are great platforms for this purpose. They can't wait to see what their students dream up, what unknown problems they’ll be the ones to solve, and how their curiosity infinitely ignites.

Mead High School's Energy Academy

O

n October 31, 2017 a group of students from Mead High School’s Energy Academy attended The Energy Transitions Symposium at Colorado State University. Students were able to Interview various panels of experts on topics such as “Unleash the Power of Women in an Ever-Changing Energy Landscape” and “How Innovation, Research and Policy can lead to National and Global Impact.” A panel of 3 sitting Governors were included this year: Governor Hickenlooper from Colorado, Governor Mead from Wyoming, and Governor Bullock from Montana. They discussed ways to inspire non-partisan collaborations and regional cooperation by creating mutually beneficial initiatives and outcomes in a complex world of energy transitions.

Mead students were able to participate in a question and answer period with each panel of experts, taking away critical hands-on, cutting edge energy information.

FHS Cheer Team takes 2nd at TriValley League Competition

PINK OUT The Frederick High School Volleyball Team hosted a pink out at their last home game. The gym was decked out in pink, the volleyball players and cheer squad wore pink, at the door donations were requested in lieu of admission, their was a Silent Auction and a Bake Sale of homemade treats. The Pink out event is an annual event. Proceeds from the event historically have gone to a local family currently battling cancer. This year was no exception as the proceeds were split between two FHS families. One of the families is of an FHS employee currently battling the disease and the other is of an FHS teacher's spouse who was recently diagnosed. (Names have been omitted for privacy). The pink out was the last home game of the season and a Seniors Recognition was held before the game.

Local Organization Promotes Gun Safety

By Jan Sciacca

E

very year, nearly 300 children age 17 and under gain access to a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else, and nearly 500 more die by suicide with a gun. This information comes from the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, which is an independent, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization, dedicated to understanding and reducing gun violence in America. Research shows that common-sense public safety laws can reduce gun violence and save lives.

The local East County chapter of MOMs Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is dedicated to promoting gun safety in our schools and communities, and educating our surrounding families about resources available in terms of safe storage, suicide prevention.

Michele Norton, a Weld county resident, mom, wife and co-leader of MOMs Demand Action for Gun Sense in America advocates educating the public

to keep citizens safe.

There are multiple benefits to being involved in MOMs Demand got Gun Sense in America. Speaking for herself, Michelle says, “As a gun victim and suicide survivor myself, the amount of personal support received during monthly meetings, Care Card parties, and the organized support function that every Town offers, has been an added benefit for me that I wasn’t expecting. Belonging to the organization was a personal cause that has transformed into another support system for me and my family.”

Two of the local chapter’s programs are BeSmart, which addresses safe storage of firearms and Project Childsafe, which works hand-in-hand with local law enforcement by offering free gun locks to citizens.

The acronym SMART in BeSmart stands for: • Secure guns in home and vehicles

services incorporate live Celtic music, meditation areas designed to reflect the chosen scriptures and a contemporary liturgy (order of service). All aspects of the services reflect the seasonal theme, and are quite different from their regular services. Attendees sometimes travel as far as 50 miles to experience Áit Caol services. Áit Caol services combine ancient Celtic spirituality with Christian theology. Although the ancient Celts regarded winter as the season of dormancy, darkness and cold, the coming of lighter days after the Winter Solstice brought a more festive mood.

To the Celts, this return of the light was a reason to celebrate that nature’s cycle was continuing.

Some believe that Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World, was set in synchronization with the Winter Solstice because, from that point onwards, the days began to have more daylight. The tradition at St. Brigit is to observe the Solstice by reflecting on God’s presence with His people, even in the midst of darkness.

Christmas also is referred to as Yule, a pre-Christian festival observed at the time of the Winter Solstice. Fires were lit to symbolize the heat, light and lifegiving properties of the returning sun.

St. Brigit’s Winter Solstice Service will end with a bonfire. Attendees will be invited to symbolically release anything that represents darkness in their lives by writing its name on a piece of paper and burning it in the bonfire.

St. Brigit Episcopal Church is located at 110 Johnson Street in Frederick. Please visit www.stbrigit.org or www.facebook. com/StBrigit for more information.

Howard was born on February 14, 1931 in Edgewater, CO to Charles and Elizabeth (Menzies) Morris. Howard was 1 of 7 children, growing up in the hills west of Denver. He was a Colorado native, living the majority of his life in the Conifer area.

He married Carol Ann Keyes on March 12, 1966 in Bailey, CO, they shared 51 years and 7 months loving each other.

Howard began his working life at 14, cutting timber and Christmas trees; he also rode bareback broncs in rodeos to earn extra money. Before he turned 18 he was a lineman for the (IREA) Intermountain Rural Electric Association, where he set and built power poles and lines across the front range and into the foothills. Soon after he had his own crew and he became a district manager. Howard went on to receive his Master Electrician license and owned and operated his own business, Morris Electric in Conifer for 33 years, until his retirement in 1999.

After he retired Howard and Carol sold their home in Conifer and travelled the entire country for the following eight years in their 5th Wheel, before moving to Frederick in 2007. Howard was of the Christian faith and attended Life Fellowship Church in Frederick.

He enjoyed Elk hunting every fall with his son and never returned empty handed, he loved riding horses with his family and snowmobiling with friends, he was home in nature no matter the season.

Howard was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers Wayne and Don Morris and two sisters Janet Rhane and Betty Carter.

He is survived by his wife Carol of Frederick; his children Skip (Tanya) Morris of La Porte Minnesota, Cheri
