Health Matters Still Time To Start Summer Fitness Program: 5 Exercise Excuses And How To Overcome Them People who are physically active tend to be healthier, feel happier and have more energy. But when it comes to getting out there and exercising, many of us have a long list of excuses for why we shouldn’t. “A lot of times the hardest thing to do is just start an exercise program and the excuses prevent you from starting. However, once you do, it will be a habit you actually look forward to and miss when you are not doing it,” says Roxane Conant, MPH, manager, North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC) Community and Worksite Wellness. How can you conquer your excuses and get moving? Here are five of the most common excuses and ways to beat them. 1. I’m too busy. The U.S. Surgeon General recommends at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity a week for adults. This may seem like a lot, but it’s not much more than 20 minutes a day. Start looking at your schedule to see where you can fit this initial 20 minutes. If the thought of 20 minutes is too much—just START. Five or ten minutes a day is better than zero. Build up over time. Take a walk around the block, jog in place while watching TV or do some small weight activities. 2. I’m too tired. Physical activity is often associated with exhaustion. However, being physically active actually releases endorphins into your body, leaving you feeling energized. Instead of focusing on how tired you feel before you exercise, focus on the energized feeling you will get after your workout. 3. It’s too hot/cold/wet. Have a backup plan for those days when the weather isn’t cooperating. This might mean that you need to broaden your exercise regimen to incorporate activities that can be moved indoors, like yoga. Many times fitness programs like these
have DVDs or phone apps that you can use to follow along at home.
NCMC Community Calendar Thursday, August 4 • 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Friends and Family CPR for Expectant/New Parents This class is taught by American Heart Association instructors and intended as a complement to the Safe Sitter babysitting course. Topics covered will be: Infant and child CPR/Choking and child AED. This course does not provide a certification card. Location: North Colorado Medical Center, 1801 16th St., Greeley (entrance #6) Cost: $15 Payment is due at time of service. NCMC Wellness Services is not able to bill Medicare or insurance. Registration: Please call (970) 810-6633 Thursday, August 18 • 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Heartsaver CPR with AED
4. I hate going to the gym. You don’t have to go to a gym to get exercise. Find an activity you love and incorporate it into your exercise regimen. For example, if you love music, why not join a dance or cycle class set to music? Or if you enjoy reading, why not get some audio books and listen while you take a walk?
The class is taught by American Heart Association certified health care professionals and covers adult and infant/child CPR, obstructed airway, the Heimlich maneuver, the use of a barrier device and AED hands-on training. A Heartsaver course completion card will be received. The certification is valid for two (2) years.
5. I can never follow through. Changing habits is always difficult. The key to making your lifestyle more active is to set small attainable goals for yourself. Don’t try to run for an hour on your first go, build up to it. By breaking up your exercise goals into small, manageable pieces you will make exercising easier on yourself and more manageable in the long run.
Monday, August 29 • 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Cooking Class: “Harvest Party”
To be successful in starting an exercise program it’s helpful to plan out some specifics ahead of time, so you don’t get derailed with details. Lay out your clothes the night before and make exercise an appointment in your daily calendar—keep the appointment. Remember, start slowly and stay with it—the payoffs will be huge!
Wellness Services offers low-cost blood screenings open to community members; some immunizations are also available upon request and availability. Open labs at NCMC are held on the second Wednesday and the fourth Wednesday of every month from 7- 8:45 a.m. Please fast 10-12 hours prior to blood draw, drink plenty of water and continue to take medications as normal.
“Exercising doesn’t have to be something you dread, it can be fun,” Conant notes. “Try teaming up with an exercise buddy so you can keep each other on tract and motivated. It’s harder to make excuses when someone is counting on you to be there for a walk, bike ride or trip to the gym.”
Date and Time: August 17 (3rd Wednesday of the month), 7:30-8:45 a.m.

Small garden harvests a ton of tomatoes By Mike Peters For the Tribune
One hundred years ago from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper for the fourth week of July 1916. » AVIATOR A. Houpert, the aeroplane pilot and owner, who contracted with the city to fly over the 4th of July parade, and who crashed in the first flight, has tried to fix his plane. He flew it once again, and once again, crashed. He is shipping the plane to Kansas City, where he can work at a larger airport. He promised he will return to Greeley to fulfill his contract of two flights over the town. » MUNICIPAL JUDGE Ewing just bought his new motorcar and parked it behind the court building while he was hearing trials. He came out to find that some children had scratched their initials and names in the paint of the
vehicle. He is now having it repainted — and deciding if he will file charges against the children. » A NEW poison to rid the town of prairie dogs and squirrels has been found. You mix grain, strychnine, water, starch and Knox gelatin. It is guaranteed that a single teaspoon of the poison will kill the prairie dog or squirrels immediately. » AN EATON woman, Mrs. W.W. Timms, got off the train from Iowa three days ago, and left her purse behind. She told the Union Pacific Railroad depot manager, and after three days, she got her purse back, with the large amount of money still inside. Mrs. Timms said the return of the bag restored her faith that there are
still honest people in the world. » A. SATOW, a Japanese gardener living in Godfrey Bottoms, between Evans and LaSalle, has had a good crop of tomatoes. In his 25-by 40-foot garden, he raised tomato plants 8 feet tall, with 40 tomatoes on each plant. He harvested more than a ton of tomatoes. » IN THE bootlegging trial of J. Amens of Greeley, the jury deliberated less than 30 minutes and came back with a “not guilty” verdict. The Honorable Judge Herbert Baker disagreed with the jury and threw their verdict out, giving Amens notice he needs to prepare for another trial. » THERE ARE so many bootlegging trials going on in Weld
County Court right now, the judges have sent out sheriff’s deputies to take people off the streets and bring them to the courthouse to serve as jurors. » A HARMONY Banquet will be held this week as a “love feast” for the Greeley Republicans to bring back several progressives, who left in a party split four years ago. While it was a good effort to restore the party, some 6,000 Republicans in Weld County weren’t invited to the event and some are unhappy. » THE TRIBUNE-REPUBLICAN newspaper’s editorial board admonished men who think it is safe to drive their new cars at high speeds of 50 mph, with their wife and kids in the back seat. » WHAT HAS been called “the eighth wonder of the world,” and the “world’s greatest spectacle” will be showing this week at the Sterling Theater in downtown
Greeley. “The Birth of a Nation” will be shown only three days in Greeley, and movie prices have been increased to 25 cents to $1 per seat. » UNION PACIFIC Railroad reported an employee suffered a minor injury in a crash on the tracks near Dent. The employee was driving a motorcar, which had wheels to fit it on the tracks. He encountered a rabbit on the tracks, and when he hit it, the collision caused the motorcar to overturn and the driver was thrown into a ditch, fracturing his finger. —“100 Years Ago” is taken from the original pages of the Greeley Tribune, the Weld County Republican, and, when they merged, the Greeley Tribune-Republican.

Government to give Colorado $15M for Interstate 25 Federal grant will help interstate expand 14 miles By Catherine Sweeney csweeney@greeleytribune.com
After three years of plotting and planning, local officials have taken a huge step forward to unclog north Interstate 25. On Tuesday, it was announced that Colorado will get a $15 million federal grant to expand 14 miles of I-25, from Loveland to Fort Collins. The money will go toward a $235 million project, which will add an express lane in both directions in that stretch. U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo.,
praised what the project will do for the state, but local leaders say Weld County and Greeley stand to gain, too. Gardner is a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and has been fighting to get I-25 improvement funding for years. “This is the economic hub and corridor of the state,” Gardner said. “It really is that part of the state that is thriving.” U.S. Sen. Mike Bennet, D-Colo., also has been fighting for the funding. He wrote a letter signed by the Colorado delegation to support the application. “Congestion on the North I-25 corridor is stifling economic growth and affecting people’s quality of life,” Bennet said. “These communities have been working together for years to find the resources to expand I-25. While
this funding is a critical first step, we need to continue working to ensure that CDOT and local governments have the resources they need to finish the job.” The 14-mile stretch might run through Larimer County, but that shouldn’t stop eastern neighbors from celebrating, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway. “There’s hardly a resident in Weld County that doesn’t find themselves on I-25,” he said. “It’s Colorado’s Main Street.” Conway has been a member of the North I-25 Coalition since its inception. The coalition formed in early 2014 to express concerns to CDOT about funding for the northern I-25 corridor. The coalition includes representatives from communities from Thornton to Fort Collins, including several in Weld County. The $15 million grant will help
pay for the $235 million project, which planners expect to ease up traffic from Colo. 402 to Colo. 14. “We always knew the North I-25 would be an 800-pound elephant, and we’d have to eat it one bite at a time,” Conway said. “This is a big bite.” Greeley Mayor Tom Norton, a former Colorado Department of Transportation executive director, said the grant contributes to the region’s efforts. “It will certainly put a dent in what we are trying to do there,” he said. “Every little bit helps.” The business community got involved in lobbying and fundraising, too. Under the leadership of its president Sarah MacQuiddy, the Greeley Chamber of Commerce partnered with Loveland’s and Fort Collins’ chambers to help government agencies get the ball rolling. “We’ve joined in to ask our in-
vestors to make it a priority,” she said. “So many people are impacted by the congestion.” She said they’re advocating for getting a third lane all the way up to the Wyoming border, but this is a start. This is the end of the road for the entities that have been promoting and fundraising, but CDOT has a long road in front of it. “Even with that jump start and everything, there’s still a lot of work to get it going,” said Region 4 spokesman Jared Fiel. Region 4 covers much of northern Colorado, including the 14mile stretch of I-25. Planners expect to break ground next fall. Before that, designers have to finish their work and the department employees have to buy up land for rights-of-way. They also have to find $10 million in state funding.

GRAND CHAMP GOATS Rookies, veterans alike see success at Weld fair goat show By Samantha Fox sfox@greeleytribune.com
W
earing a bright pink button-down top and a hot-pink ribbon in her hair to match, Kashley Hayden led her goat out of the show arena Wednesday. The brilliant color went well with her newly awarded purple grand champion ribbon. It was the 11-yearold’s first year showing her own goat at the fair, but the work she put into it gave her the prize.
“I’m so happy,” Kashley said as her eyes welled with joy. A tear didn’t fall, but the glee the Johnstown girl felt after a first grand champion in the market lightweight division at the Weld County Fair goat show was obvious. The goats started the market shows for the fair, and the day brought mostly smiles, and only a few tears at the fair, which runs through the weekend at the Island Grove Event Center, 501 14th Ave. in Greeley. Kashley was one of the few to take a top finish as a rookie 4-Her. Many have to wait until at least their second year to win a grand champion, but Kashley did have some practice before this season.
“I showed my cousin’s last year, and I really liked it,” she said. “So I decided I wanted to do it, too.” Jordan Halley of Kersey was another rookie to see success Wednesday. She celebrated her 9th birthday with a blue ribbon in her lightweight goat class. She was excited, until a moment of realization. “I might have to sell my goat,” she said with a slight frown. But she knows that’s why she competes at the fair. It’s her first time competing in 4-H, so it was an extra-special birthday gift when she got to compete for grand champion in her first division. Before Jordan went to show, she said she was a bit nervous. She was going up against a friend she met last year, Karsyn Fetzer. Karsyn, 9, of Kersey showed for the second time in 4-H, and already had a grand champion from the breeding goat show earlier Wednesday. Karsyn said she didn’t do well with her goat last year, but she sold a lamb. So when her breeding goat, Shilo, was the Junior Goat Female Breeding grand champion, she knew exactly what she did right. “I didn’t work (with the goat) as much last year,” she said. “Now I know a lot and knew what to work on, and I worked a lot harder this year.” And experience can pay off, especially when you have showed goats for about nine years. Jayden Gettman, 14, of Kersey started working with animals when she was about 5 years old. She

COLE HALLEY, 11, PREPARES his goat for show Wednesday at the Weld County Fair at Island Grove Event Center, 501 14th Ave. in Greeley. This is the first year he showed a goat.

said she felt great after she showed her breeding goat. But she might not have been showing goats at all if it weren’t for her grandma. “She came home with
two dairy goats, and I really liked them,” Jayden said. Jayden said she’s proud
of what she’s accomplished when she showed this year and in the past. But for others, this year was one of redemption. Like Karsyn, Rylee Anderson, 9, of Ault said she needed to improve from her showing from last year. This was Rylee’s second year. She placed fourth in her market goat class last year. The middle-of-thepack finish turned into a overall grand champion win with her middleweight goat. Her key to success — like for Karsyn — was to work more with her goats. Rather than spending more time in the barn, Rylee said she went to a lot more jack-
pot shows throughout the summer to get her goat, Caramel, fair ready. It also helped her build her showmanship skills. The second-year veterans felt better about their preparation because they knew how to improve from last year. But Jordan — the rookie — was confident even before the show started. “I’m really good with goats, and it would be fun to win grand champion for my birthday,” she said. Even though that wasn’t the case, other grand champion winners know the first year is hard. It’s the second year that helps a ribbon turn purple.

Officials: NISP will face no timeline changes By Catherine Sweeney csweeney@greeleytribune.com
One of the region’s largest water projects is hitting a snag, but leaders say that won’t affect the schedule. More than a dozen entities across Colorado are working on the Northern Integrated Supply Project, or NISP. The goal is to divert water out of the Poudre and South Platte rivers into two new reservoirs — Glade, to serve thirsty towns along the Front Range, and Galeton, to serve irrigation ditch companies and ultimately farmers. Leaders have been working on NISP for more than a decade, and that’s made land management difficult. Galeton was slated to go east of Ault and south of Colo. 14, but during the lengthy permitting process, a landowner in the area ended up leasing to Noble Energy. Now there are 24 active wells on the site. “You can’t fault the landowner, if somebody’s going to come in and offer (them) money,” said Brian Werner, a spokesman for Northern Water Conservancy District, which acts as the project’s lead agency. Now the organization has to decide: mitigate or move. “It can get mitigated,” Werner said. “We can cap those wells.” But it will be expensive and difficult. In some areas moving might be the more difficult choice, but it’s looking as though that isn’t the case for the Galeton reservoir. “(There’s) a very similar site across (Colorado) Highway 14 to the north,” Werner said. “And it doesn’t have 24 oil and gas wells in the footprint.” It doesn’t have any. Werner doesn’t think history will repeat itself. “We’re at a point where we talked to the landowners,” he said. “I think we can avoid
that same scenario this time around.” The hang-up is understandable, Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway said. “I think the important thing to remember is this site (decision happened) long before the oil and gas explosion in Weld County,” he said. He said he’s even less concerned because Galeton is not only supposed to be smaller than its Glade counterpart, but also because it’s scheduled to be built second. “They have plenty of time,” he said. “It’s not like there’s an immediacy here.” About 150 people attended Greeley’s most recent public hearing for the project last July. More than 30 people offered to speak, and less than a handful voiced opposition to the project. The Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers criticizing its environmental studies last year. EPA officials said the Army Corps of Engineers’ studies don’t delve deeply enough into the environmental risks NISP poses. Supporters at all levels of government — from Colorado’s U.S. senators to Weld County commissioners — have pushed for the project. For all intents and purposes, despite the setback, the project will be essentially the same. “It can store the same amount of water, using the same water right, and do what it was intended to do,” Werner said. “This shouldn’t change the timeline or anything.” Today, it’s looking as though the federal permitting process will end in 2018. The Army Corps of Engineers still has to finish its third environmental study, which is due out sometime in 2017, Werner said. There will be a public comment period after that, and about a year later, the record of decision should come.
Greeley crime rises over past year By Catherine Sweeney csweeney@greeleytrib.com
Greeley’s serious crime rate rose sharply during the first half of 2016, but officials say that jump is exaggerated because of an exceptionally low rate the year before. Compared to last year, the so-called part I crimes — such as theft, murder and sexual assault — are up 28 percent, according to city documents. Officials say that growth is not as drastic as it seems, and it was expected. Police Chief Jerry Garner presented the statistics and other updates to the city council during a work session Tuesday night. “Last year was a 19 percent drop in part I crimes, and we knew that was not going to last,” he said. That kind of reduction is unprecedented in recent memory, according to city documents. The temporary drop exaggerated the increase in Greeley’s most serious crimes. There was, however, a jump. There were almost 400 more of these crimes reported from January to June in 2016 than the year before. Theft, motor vehicle
theft and sexual assault rose highly above last year, each by more than 20 percent. It’s tough to nail down why certain crime rates increase or decrease, Garner said, but police have some speculations. “We believe some of our street people and parolees are driving our theft rate up,” he said. Many members of the transient community suffer from mental illness, often untreated, and drug addiction. “We’ve got a lot of people on our streets that are,
a lot of the times, all of the above,” Garner said. Officials estimate there are more than 500 people on parole in Weld County from state prison. Department of Corrections figures suggest 50 percent of them will commit another crime within three years, Garner said. As for the reported sexual assault increase, Garner has an optimistic opinion. “We know, nationally, that people are more comfortable reporting sexual assaults than they used to be,” he said.

Lotion, soap business hopping for Greeley woman By Nikki Work nwork@greeleytribune.com
D
awn Swanbom originally wanted to raise goats so she could make goat cheese. After a few too many failed experiments, she realized she was an awful cheese maker and was left with a freezer full of goat’s milk and broken dreams. That’s when her daughter suggested she make lotion out of it. With a freezer full of milk, a farm full of goats a’milking and cheese that was clearly not working out, she had nothing to lose. Four years later, Dawn ‘til Dusk, her lotion and soap company, is thriving. Dawn and her husband, Lee, were scheduled to bring her products to the Greeley Arts Picnic on Saturday and Sunday, where she’ll answer questions about her all-natural products, skin care and, of course, the goats themselves. “She’s got great products,” said Rhonda Welch, Greeley Arts Picnic coordinator. “What I love is she’s great about her displays and her presentation. It’s really a wonderful, joyful little booth.” This year at the Arts Picnic, Dawn will have a computer set up playing a slideshow of photos of her goats, so people walking by the booth can get a little slice of what’s happening back at the Swanboms’ south Greeley farm.
