indsor Severance Fire Rescue B shift was on its way back to the station in the wee hours of Aug. 6 when firefighters noticed smoke coming from downtown Windsor.
Within three minutes, the four-person crew was on scene. When Lt. Kory Tope pulled up inside a fire engine, he said he could feel the heat through the vehicle’s windshield. Tope, Battalion Chief Darren Jaques, Ian Gordon and Travis Grenz, were the first to reach the scene of the Windsor Mill fire. “We knew immediately that the mill was lost,” Jaques said. The first step, they agreed, was to minimize the danger to surrounding structures. As they called in assistance from area departments, the crew set to work protecting nearby buildings from falling embers. The sadness of watching an historic structure in the community burn did not hit right away, they all agreed. “What struck me was the amount

Volunteer firefighters needed During the response to the Windsor Mill fire, volunteer firefighters’ help was invaluable, in addition to assistance from area departments, said Windsor Severance Fire Rescue Chief Herb Brady. The department is hoping to train more volunteer firefighters. For more information or to volunteer, go to www.wsfr.us.
“That’s a huge burden,” Jaques said. “However, that’s something we’re ready for.” The fire was reported at 1:49 a.m., and the crew didn’t leave the scene until well into the next day. Tope and Grenz said they left the scene at 3 p.m. Sunday, grabbed a shower and some rest, then headed back out. Once the fire was doused, Jaques said it was important for firefighters to remain on scene to manage the area. If they had left, he said, residents may have continued to call in reports of smoke at the mill. Piles of debris continued to smolder and
of debris,” Gordon said. Debris was on the roof of the NAPA Auto Parts store across the street. Nearby fencing and a trash can melted from the heat, Jaques said. The firefighters worked to contain the damage and decided what to save.

The Historic Windsor Mill is seen burning in this picture from Windsor Severance Fire Rescue. The more than century old structure was undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation.
The second-graders passed buckets filled with brightly colored balls quickly down a line and emptied them into a kiddie pool before quickly passing them back. Museum Curator Daniel Lowe cheered them on until all the balls had been dumped. “Did we put the fire out?” he asked. “Yeah!” the children called. Lowe told the listening children fires were once fought by bucket brigades, which they all agreed took a long time and required a lot of people. Lowe then showed the children the evolution of firefighting, from the hand-drawn hose carts to modern fire engines, which only require two or three people to man them. In 1902 or 1903, Lowe said, Windsor got fire hydrants for the first time. For his second activity, Lowe had second-graders Chase Sanger and Kyle Richmond pull a hand-drawn hose cart to unravel the hose, and students held it up and pretended to shoot out water. Because Lowe is new to the museum, Lori Mathern, second grade teacher at Grandview Elementary, said other visits had not included
produce smoke days after the blaze was doused, but with the depth of debris and an investigation underway, Jaques said digging through the piles to completely rid the site of smoke was not an option. If firefighters flooded the scene with water or moved debris to get to the source of the smolder, they could have hindered the investigation, Jaques said. Though some heckled firefighters who remained almost sleepless at the scene of the fire for not “putting it out,” Jaques said most community members were supportive. “We had a couple of moms who loaded up minivans with goodies,” he said. The gifts included cards from children scrawled with messages of encouragement, Jaques said. “It felt like Christmas,” he said. Other firefighters nodded, although Gordon quipped vegetables are preferable to cookies sometimes for the “readiness” of the firefighters. Jaques said community-shaking events like the mill fire remind firefighters why they do what they do. Like most jobs, the routine of being a firefighter or EMT feels like work, Jaques said, but community members remind them of their purpose in the wake of such events. “The next morning, a woman came to hug me and she was crying,” Gordon said. “I was excited about the new businesses going in there, but to me it was just an old building. … It didn’t strike me until then how big an impact it would have.” B shift also responded to the scene of John Jacoby’s murder in 2015, and Jaques remembers how much that day shook the town of Windsor. The 2008 tornado, he said, was another event that shook the town and drew residents together. “Windsor has seen its fair share of tragedy for being such a small town,” he said. “To be part of all of those is a weird feeling.”

interactive lessons. “It’s more of a learning experience when they can do hands-on activities,” Mathern said. Mathern said part of the school’s curriculum includes teaching second-graders about Windsor history, so the museum visit fit well with her lesson plans. Amy Sanger, whose son, Chase, was one of the second grade students on the museum visit, said she was enjoying herself as well. “It’s been fun, and interactive for the kids which is cool,” she said.

Community Rec Center exceeds expectations Emily Wenger ewenger@mywindsornow.com
MORE INFO
The Windsor Community Recreation Center is less than a week away from celebrating one year of its expansion being open to the public, and officials say participation has exceeded expectations. After recently returning from the 2017 NRPA Annual Conference, where Windsor Parks, Recreation and Culture Department was honored for being in the top four nationwide in its category, Eric Lucas, the department’s director, updated the Windsor Town Board on the recreation center’s progress over the past year. During Monday night’s work session, Lucas said the center has seen more than 360,000 building visits. “The recreation center has become a destination in and of itself,” he said.
For more information about the Windsor Community Recreation Center, which will soon celebrate the one-year anniversary of its expansion opening, go to www. windsorgov.com/189/CommunityRecreation-Center.
The center has 5,031 members, Lucas said, and an additional 1171 “Silver Sneakers,” senior members. Of those, he said, 80 percent are Windsor residents, which was the main group the center was hoping to serve. Windsor Town Board member Ivan Adams said he has noticed the center’s popularity. When talking to a group of third-graders, Adams said he asked them if they regularly visit the recreation center.
“Almost every hand went up,” he said. The challenges the center is facing include wear and tear, Lucas said, and demand. With so many visits, Lucas said the center will be looking at repairs more frequently in the future, which will cost more now that warranties for items like the hot tub are almost up. With the popularity of the center’s programs, especially for children, Lucas said the department may need to cap some programs in the future. The rooms available for rent in the center are also frequently booked, Lucas said, so staff members have been holding meetings elsewhere. But each month, the revenue has surpassed that of the previous month, Lucas said, so he is optimistic that residents will continue to utilize the center over the next year.

Smells like agriculture education ■■Windsor fourth
graders take part in agriculture education fair

amantha Wagnitz stood to the side of the pen with two alpacas, holding her nose with her left hand.
The 9-year-old was just one of 447 fourth graders from the Weld RE-4 School District at the third annual Food 4-Ever Agricultural Education Fair on Wednesday at the Windsor Community Recreation Center, 250 11th St. Each session was 15 minutes long, but the purpose was to give the kids a foundation not just one focus. That way, teachers could build on the multiple topics the students were exposed to at the fair. There were 27 presenters who taught a range of topics, from chickens to irrigation and from compost to rodeo. The common thread was agriculture but a lot of different industries were represented. And that famous ag smell was a big part of the day. In Windsor, agriculture is a foundation. According to the American Farm Bureau, only 2 percent of Americans are farmers or ranchers, with most people three generations removed from living or working on a farm. That’s another reason Weld RE-4 teachers Andy Klatt, Kendra Jacoby and Melinda Spaur continue the fair. It reconnects people to the ag industry. In the fair’s setting, the kids can talk to experts in the field, such as Michelle Dalpra of Eaton. Dalpra’s family raises the alpacas for shows, and she

taught the kids about the alpaca industry. She brought the two alpacas that caused Samantha to plug her nose. Samantha did remove her left hand from her nose twice, though, she had a couple of questions, one being: “Do all female alpacas get pregnant?”

“Yes 2 Our Library” is a citizen-led group of volunteers working to educate the Severance, Windsor and West Greeley communities about the need for a new larger library - and to ensure Ballot Issue 5A passes in November. We need a library able to serve all ages for years to come. Since the current library was built in 1997, the district’s population has grown from 10,000 residents to over 23,000. All available space for programs, parking, staff and collections has been used. The proposed new library would have more space for programs, more shelf space, a makerspace, a computer lab, quiet reading areas, collaboration spaces and a 300-seat community room. The land has been purchased on Main Street just east of Chimney Park Drive, but without a ‘Yes on 5A’ vote in November, the library cannot be built. Mail-only ballots will be delivered to district voters starting October 16. For more information on the proposed library, go to clearviewlibrary.org – and take a virtual tour of the New Library Project.

usan J. DeRosa Hogue died Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017, in Loveland, on the last day of summer.
Susan was born on Dec. 21, 1956 at Kings County Hospital in Queens, N.Y. on the first day of winter. She grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y. and was a proud New Yorker until the day she died. She had an illustrious career on Wall Street, working the trading floor of Goldman Sachs.

Susan was passionate and fearless. She once risked her own life to save a man who was trapped in a wood chipper. She was known for her delicious cooking, her thick Brooklyn accent, but most of all for her loving, generous spirit. She is survived by her devoted husband, James Mark Hogue, whom she lovingly referred to as

There are people that may think they are smarter than “James.”. I regularly see James taking long walks. One day I watched him as he threw something into a trash bin. Later I saw him again, this time picking up a beer can and carrying it to a nearby trash can, and I thought “Wow, James is my kind of guy! Thanks James.” This shows everyone is valuable and has something to contribute.

And an insurance company is currently using a car named “Brad” in its advertisements. A word of caution: you don’t want to name your car anything that might make you sound creepy. Also, a current trend is to name your car after a beautiful woman or handsome man; just keep in mind that could get you into trouble with the significant others in your life! It’s a good idea to try the name out on other people first, to see what kind of responses you get. If all else fails you can always just get a cute bumper sticker or personalized license plate.

onday morning, Kati Thompson took four children on a backpacking adventure, complete with the viewing of a turtle and other forest creatures and some time in a tent, all from the comfort of her new yoga studio. Thompson is the owner of Windsor Yoga Family, a new yoga studio on Windsor’s Main Street. Monday morning, she taught a Mini-Yoga class for children ages 2-5. She took them on a pretend adventure, encouraging them to stretch and take yoga poses like the boat pose as part of their journey. “Are you ready to pack your backpack?” she asked. “Yeah!” the four girls replied. Thompson demonstrated, sitting with her legs straight out and twisting from side to side as she mimed grabbing different items to put in the “backpack,” which was near her toes. The yoga studio offers classes for all ages, Thompson said, which is part of its family focus. From babies to seniors, everyone is welcome at the studio, she said. “All the people who come in our doors should fee like they’re part of our Windsor yoga family,” she said. Two mothers of the girls who participated in the Mini-Yoga class Monday said they were grateful to be able to give their children a chance to practice yoga while they did as well in the next room over. Yoga can help children be mindful, Thompson said, and become more aware of their balance. By learning about deep breathing,

they can also be more calm in stressful situations, Thompson said. The new business owner discovered a love of yoga when she attended Colorado State University. Thompson said she studied sports medicine, and received a degree in business and accounting while continuously practicing yoga. She worked in accounting after graduating, but after having her daughter, 3-year-old Annie, Thompson wanted to start a business where she could spend more time with her family. Annie posed along with her mom and the three other girls in Monday’s class, calling “look Mom” whenever she was particularly proud of a pose. Kati’s husband, Isaac Thompson, is also a local business owner, and Kati said he built the studio and installed security. “In addition to being community and family focused,”

Kati said, “We are also supportive of other locally owned businesses.” Her family also enjoys outdoor activities, Kati said, like gardening and hiking. Including Kati, a team of 14 yoga instructors offers more than 80 classes per week at the two-room studio. One room is a normal temperature while one provides heat for hot yoga classes. “We have an amazing team that feels like family,” she said.

The dining hit that is Doug’s Day Diner has expanded to Weld County with two new restaurants coming soon. The popular franchise, heralded for its whopping plates of food, already is in Boulder, Centennial, Thornton, Fort Collins and Loveland. Now, franchisers are going to add Greeley and Windsor to the mix. The Weld restaurants, however, will ditch the “day” in the name to become Doug’s Diner. That’s because owners Rick Bruening and Linda Hernandez eventually may add dinner to their menu options. They’ve got their work cut out for them for the next few months, at least in Windsor, where the diner will be the first out of the ground in a new retail development called East Pointe off Colo. 392 and Colo. 257, the site of a former car dealership. Bruening hopes that diner will open in April. Meanwhile, he and Hernandez are busy in downtown Greeley, where they just took over the former Eggonomics, one of the newer restaurant options for downtown diners, which closed Sept. 20 when Eggonomics owner Tim Veldhuizen wanted out and Bruening wanted in. “We just like the old-town flavor,” Bruening said. “We like the small-town flavor, just a Cheers, everyoneknows-your-name type of place. … As soon as we saw it on the corner, in that old building, we just fell in love with it.” They began overhauling the restaurant at 901 8th Ave. just this week. They’ll tone down the bright colors, tear out one of the counters and put a home-town touch on the walls with nostalgic wall hangings and such. The plan is to open at the end of the month. It couldn’t happen any faster for officials in Greeley’s Downtown Development Authority. “I think its excellent there was no lapse or gap for that building space, which is a prime location on the 9th Street Plaza,” DDA associate director Bianca Fisher said. “The whole breakfast concept was well received, and people were really excited. It says a lot that someone came to (Veldhuizen), because eyes are turning to downtown to see that it’s a great place to open a restaurant, and certainly in the breakfast industry there’s a need.” Part of the deal for Eggonomics included the speakeasy bar just below it. Bruening will change the name to Greeley Speakeasy and offer the same cocktails and add some craft brews to the lineup, partnering with local brewers and distillers. Bruening grew up in the restaurant industry, getting his start with McDonalds for a good 10 years before managing Taco Bell restaurants for 20 years. That’s where he met Hernandez. Three years ago, the pair bought two of the Doug’s franchise restaurant and opened one in Boulder. It’s become quite the popular restaurant, known for its plate-sized pancakes, especially. “You better come hungry,” Bruening said. Doug’s is pretty well known for its southwestern flair, using only Hatch green chilis and red chilis from New Mexico, to build into their homemade menu. The home cooking doesn’t stop there. The restaurant boasts homemade jams and biscuits and a secret pancake recipe that keeps crowds coming back. Its lunch menu sports a healthy Reuben sandwich and half-pound burgers, as well. “We want the scratch kitchen,” Bruening said. “We get two trucks a week to make sure everything stays fresh.” The local chain was perfect for Windsor, said Stacy Johnson, director of economic development for the town, who recruited Bruening into its East Pointe development. Frankly, Windsor’s smaller population of 25,000 is not yet enough to tempt larger chains even with residents boasting more discretionary income than surrounding cities. “But we can go after local chains, and they can see the benefit of Windsor and the growth that’s here and the lack of full service sit-down restaurants,” Johnson said. That’s because owners live and breathe here, Johnson said. “Getting an Applebee’s (for example) to travel to northern Colorado is lot more difficult than to work with local chains,” he said.

The restaurants will keep with their breakfast and lunch hours, but they may entertain some dinner menus down the road. For Greeley, especially with its Friday Fests during the summer, that would be perfect, Fisher said. “Even if he sticks with his same concept, a breakfast-for-dinner concept could be really fun, even if just for Friday Fest,” Fisher mused. “Also, they have a great patio space, which is great for Friday Fest. … Think about it: Mimosas and scrambled eggs on the patio. “Even if for now they do breakfast and lunch, it’ll be a great addition,” Fisher said.
