An Open Letter to Weld County Republicans
By Corey Seulean I am speaking to defend the truth. I could not care less about what people who are liars, crooked, deceitful, manipulative and bullies think about me. On 8-18-20, at the Weld GOP Executive Committee, unfounded accusations were made against me with little to no investigation at all. As I listened via Zoom, I heard Pat Miller rant and rave about why she lost the primary and accused me of attacking her and lying about her. I ran the cleanest campaign that Weld county has seen possibly in years/decades. She won the caucus, shut me out and received top line on the ballot and yet I was accused of being one of the reasons she lost her campaign??? Then, Corey Hale stated in his District Captain’s Report that he filed a complaint to the Secretary of State’s office that I committed “election fraud.” When Chairman Sander asked if Mr. Hale wanted to elaborate, he declined. What??? He accused me of “election fraud” in front of the committee and not only did he not explain himself but he never even one time called me! What kind of investigation did he do to determine that I committed “election fraud?” He just listened to the gripes of Pat Miller and Lori Saine and yielded himself as their puppet and tarnished his integrity while doing so. His character must be nonexistent if he will take such steps without even speaking to me about the allegations. He does not deserve to be a District Captain! I have read the complaint and it is full of assumptions that are just not true. Someone who has an agenda fed him these lies. Someone probably wrote the complaint for him and just asked him to sign it to keep their hands off it. I know the truth! I never committed election fraud as Lori Saine, Pat Miller and Corey Hale have claimed that I did. I did not cross out any names and I did not add my name. I received a phone call from Lorna Sherwood about certain delegates who were not available to attend the district assembly. She said to me that they could not be delegates and that they needed to be replaced. I said ok, not knowing anything about it. She crossed their names out, along with Alt #2, and wrote my name in. I offered to call the couple to inform them that I was told that they could not be delegates for the district assembly. They were never signed up to be delegates for the county assembly in the first place. They could not vote for Pat Miller even if they wanted to. They could only vote for the SD23 race which was between Rupert Parchment and Barbara Kirkmeyer. I do not think that Lorna knowingly did anything wrong. However, it should be crystal clear that I committed no such election fraud! To insinuate that I did anything wrong to help my race against Pat Miller is ludicrous. I ended up being shut out for the ballot. Pat got what she wanted, and nobody interfered with her position on the ballot and my name never even made it on the ballot. I entered politics as a strong conservative voice while also being a pastor. I thought the conservative base would welcome such a voice. I was wrong! When certain people found out that they could not control me, they engaged in underhanded politics to get me out and to attack my name and my family. Lori Saine is nothing more than a “schoolyard bully” and will resort to any tactic to get her way. Her cohort, Christy Rodriguez, will stoop to any level and manipulate events and circumstances to favor Lori Saine and her constituents. I am convinced that there is no low to which she would not go. They secured the services of Timothy Phippard and Corey Hale and others to do their work for them. I was lied about, threatened, bullied, and maligned from those within my own party all for political expediency. The Republican Party so-called elites in Weld County are corrupt and far worse than I ever thought them to be. On Thursday August 20th, a meeting of so-called “Christian Republicans” met at a so-called “Christian” church to discuss the future of Weld County politics. They were not representative of Christian behavior in any way in this meeting! In that meeting, Lori Saine allegedly stated that my son, Benjamin, had no right to be a part of anything political in Weld County, or Colorado for that matter. She has participated in spreading untruths about my son and does not care about whose lives she hurts in the process. She demanded that my son not attend the meeting and everyone in attendance acquiesced to her demand and nobody stood up to her. People are afraid to stand up to her bullying tactics and they simply go along with her “queen pin” approach to Weld County politics. Does anybody honestly think that any one person should be able to decide who can participate in politics? Enough is enough! Things have got to change, or we are no better than the liberal Democrats in how they behave and treat people. I am standing up to this power hungry, anything goes, no accountability, corrupt, and evil approach to politics in Weld County. These kinds of political tactics are why our state is horribly blue and socialist. We must be better than this or we will never change Colorado politics! I sincerely hoped to make a difference at the State Capitol for the people of Weld County and to give people hope that politics can change for the better. I am now left to wonder if it will ever really get better at all. As long as power hungry, manipulative, corrupt, evil people are in charge, very little will ever change. I pray that the people of Weld county will have their eyes opened and will have discernment in future elections to vote good representatives into office. To be frank, this is embarrassing, and, in my eyes, our party has just as much blame for the state of politics in Colorado as do the Democrats! The TRUTH will always come out sooner or later and it will always have its say! Let’s be more representative of Christian/Conservative values or we will continue to go in the wrong direction as a county and state party.

by Bob Grand It must be election time, between phone calls for polls, mailers requesting money and tv ads, there seems to be a never-ending flow of requests for money or your vote. If we took ½ of that money and put to some good use maybe we can work on solving some of our issues, or at least help some folks in real need. There is a fundamental flaw in the system. The President should be ever so thankful to the Democratic National Committee because they are a fountain of good material for his re- election efforts. A lot better, in some cases, than what some Republicans are doing for or to him. It is time for our older politicians, in both parties to pass the baton. I just do not believe the Democratic National Committee, or the Weld County Republicans old guard are willing to let go without a fight. Maybe enough unaffiliated, middle ground Republicans and Democrats can figure out that they represent the overall majority of voters and can work together to work on developing real solutions by consensus. One can hope. I have had several calls from folks who do not understand the teacher’s union position on COVID 19. The police, the fire fighters, EMT have to go to work. That is their job, there is risk. Teachers are paid to teach. This pass several months, a lot of family members, especially Mom’s, have had to figure out how to home school their children, at great personal sacrifice. They ask why teachers are getting full salary while they are doing their job. Fair or not that is a question being asked. Many COVID 19 issues are being driven by the current political atmosphere, but I am afraid those issues will have much bigger implication for public education in the longer term than the teacher union leadership understands or recognizes. It seems we talk about fires in the wilderness every year. Every year goes by and do we ever try to discuss or address what could have be done to mitigate the issue. Conservation efforts at the least should include cleaning out timber areas of underlying brush near development and cutting forest roads to provide fire breaks. We are told that we should not do that as it might adversely affect the environment, well what do you think a massive fire burn does? Maybe we could put a whole lot of young people or homeless people to work providing them a source of income and providing a public service. Does that involve too much common sense? The impact of COVID 19 I am afraid will be devasting to our large cities. The long-term loss of revenue streams will require a significant rethinking of city government. New York City has seen an overwhelming relocation of people. Companies have realized they can survive without all their employees having to come to the expensive office space in the city. The suburban areas are seeing a boom. Not having workers spending their money in restaurants and shops as well as the total collapse of the travel and hospitality business will be devastating to the major cities. Does Mayor DeBlasio of NYC have the ability to recognize or accept the reality? Does he really understand the financial pain that is coming to the New York City? That story will repeat itself over and over in many of our largest cities. How loud will the cry for a federal bailout get? Get your ear muffs out because it is coming. Commendation to the SE Weld County Fair Board members for having a modified fair this year. A lot of time and effort went into making the fair possible. The young people had the opportunity to show their animals and 4-H projects. Not everything as usual but a great effort considering the circumstances.

OPINION | Polis Escalates His War on Rural Colorado
Jerry Sonnenberg Elections are fast approaching, and this governor is making political appointments that appear to be furthering his “War on Rural Colorado.” Polis’ latest appointment, to the State Board of Veterinary Medicine, is a self-proclaimed “vegan activist” whose response to the outcry against this absurd move was to attack one of Colorado’s premier youth organizations on social media. Ellen Kessler claimed that 4-H clubs — known as one of the first kids’ clubs in America, with a focus on leadership, citizenship and life skills — “teach children that animal lives don’t matter.” More than 100,000 currently active Colorado 4-H members and the nearly 10,000 adult and youth volunteer leaders would, I think, disagree with her preposterous charge. 4-H members contribute to their communities and gain practical experience in subject areas that include workforce preparation and career exploration, leadership and volunteerism, character and ethics, food and nutrition, agriculture and natural resources, conservation, consumer decision-making, robotics, rocketry, animal sciences, and public speaking — just to name a few. This governor and his staff should be embarrassed about this political appointment, especially because it should not be political at all. As a member of the State Board of Veterinary Medicine, Kessler would work closely with the Colorado Department of Agriculture on matters pertaining to Colorado’s livestock industry. How can a professed vegan activist make unbiased decisions about veterinary matters in an industry she wants to dismantle? While I hope that when faced with this nomination the Senate Democrats will take a hard look at the absurdity of this appointment and vote it down, that hasn’t happened in the past. As recently as June, another appointee from this governor to the State Fair Board garnered opposition from both sides of the aisle as an inappropriate selection. The appointment was doomed to fail with bipartisan opposition — until Senate leadership refused to bring the confirmation to a vote. Through political sidesteps and technical maneuvers, that appointee continues to serve. But wait, there’s more: Jeff Rice and the Sterling Journal-Advocate printed a two-part story revealing that out of 25 boards and 220 appointments, only 12 appointees hailed from east of I-25. That’s right, roughly 5% of appointments are from the eastern third of the state. What a mess Polis has made with his diversification of the boards; perhaps he ought to include some of the folks affected by these appointments, from not only the eastern plains but all of the state’s rural areas. Maybe Gov. Polis had his predecessor John Hickenlooper share the former governor’s quoted beliefs about us “backward thinking” people in rural Colorado. Rest assured, we “backward thinking” folks will continue to provide the food, fiber and energy this state and the rest of the world depend on. Rural Colorado is full of intelligent, hardworking, salt-ofthe-earth people who would make great appointments to oversee professions like the State Board of Veterinary Medicine. So how do we show our opposition to Kessler’s appointment? Call Gov. Polis’ office at 303-866-2471. Be polite and briefly share why you think any advocate might have a conflict of interest when appointed to a board charged with oversight of the very subject against which they are vocally opposed. Jerry Sonnenberg, a Republican from Sterling, represents District 1 in the Colorado Senate.

Publisher Comment: Should Lori Saine Withdraw from Weld County Commissioner District 3 Race?
People running for office should really attempt to represent the people in the district they are running to represent. Somebody should explain that to Lori Saine! It is fine to belong to a political party and stand for the values that party represents or claims to represent. Weld County Commissioner District 3 has suffered from a lack of good representation at the County Board of Commissioners, as the past two years Commissioner Kirkmeyer seems to have been more focused on running for her next position. If you do not think so, re-read the press releases from the Weld County Communications Office and check to see how many reflect District 3 efforts as opposed to northern Colorado interests, particularly Larimer County and northern Weld County. Is Lori Saine trying to establish herself as the new Barbara Kirkmeyer, the dominate BOCC member? Well she certainly is a strong-willed person, some would say that reflects more of being a bully, but Barbara Kirkmeyer was more than that. She is smart and knowledgeable, neither of which qualities have I heard anybody attribute to Lori Saine. The, still in effect, Johnson Act of 1954 exposes all 501 ( c ) (3) nonprofits, including churches, to potential loss of their tax-exempt status if they either endorse or oppose political candidates. In today’s world of sophisticated telephonic devices, whether we like it or not, one should be careful and recognize that all meetings, no-matter how secret and secure people think they are, are subject to potential recording either by sound or video. Is Laurie Saine trying to take control of the inner workings of the shadow Weld County Republican Party? Please! Corey Seulean ran for office because he believed it was the right thing to do. His 113 votes did not decide the House District 63 election. This is America, and he has a right to do that! Pat Miller was a flawed candidate, remarkably similar to Lori Saine. Dan Woog won the Republican nomination because he campaigned to represent the people. Blaming Corey Seulean for Pat Miller losing appears to be more than a little vindictive. Lori Saine should be trying to focus on learning what the people of District 3 would like to see accomplished. Oh, I forgot, she knows exactly what to do. Just ask the Greeley Republicans shadow group! The majority of District 3 Republican primary voters did not support Lori Saine. Doesn’t that say something? Does she really understand that or care? On the surface, it appears she is working towards expanding her role in the inner circle of the Weld County shadow Republican Party, which means the greater Greeley area focused group. The people of District 3 deserve representation that has their interests at heart. They deserve a candidate who will be their advocate. Lori Saine has to decide what and who she really is trying to represent. The voters of District 3, all the voters, will decide if she deserves their vote. If she cannot clearly make the decision and effectively communicate that to the voters as to who she will represent, then she should withdraw from the race. The people of BOCC District 3 deserve a clear understanding of what their elected representative is going to accomplish for them. That should impact who they vote for, not whether they are a Republican or Democrat.

Re-3J Board of Education Sends MLO Continuation to November Ballot
HUDSON—The Weld County School District Re-3J Board of Education voted unanimously on August 26 to place a Mill Levy Override (MLO) renewal question on the 2020 ballot. This question is not a tax increase; instead, if approved, the measure will allow the district to continue collecting its existing MLO, approved by district voters in 2016. The MLO allows the district to collect an additional $3.3 million per year from local property taxes to address its strategic priorities, including retention of quality teachers, replacement of outdated learning materials and student devices, implementation of instructional programs such as arts and STEM, and continuation of proper maintenance of district facilities and transportation fleet. The 2016 MLO required a renewal, or it will expire at the end of the 2021-22 school year “Approval of the district’s Mill Levy Override was critical to the success of our students and retention of our teachers over the past four years,” said Board President Cindy Baumgartner. “This success comes from great community support. The district has engaged community members, staff, and parents over the past four years to ensure that the Mill Levy Override addresses the district’s most important priorities. By approving the MLO continuation, our community can help ensure that our students, families, and faculty will have the resources for safe schools and great academics.” The MLO is voter-approved, community-based funding of $3.3 million annually that cannot be reduced when or if the state cuts its budget for K-12 education. If the continuation is approved by voters this November, the district can use his funding to make its most critical academic, safety, and staffing budget decisions. Because of reductions in the state of Colorado’s budget, the current school year budget was reduced by more than $1 million, or 5.5 percent. The reductions from the state are expected to continue and possibly grow next fiscal year. “Extending the district’s MLO now will provide sustainable funding that the district can count on in these uncertain times and help ensure that students and teachers receive the resources needed for safe and healthy schools and necessary classroom resources,” Baumgartner said. The 2020 ballot question maintains the same priorities as the 2016 question, while also allowing the district to focus on safe learning environments for students and teachers through safety, security and mental health supports. The Weld and Adams county clerks will be creating the 2020 ballot in the coming weeks and will assign a ballot number to the Re-3J question.

5 Leadership Traits Of The Founding Fathers That Can Unify America
With the COVID-19 pandemic worsening, the economy faltering, and protests against racial injustice continuing, millions of Americans face difficult times and worry about the nation’s future. And with a presidential election around the corner, it’s a critical time for the country to take stock of what political leadership should mean by going back to the principles embodied by the framers of the Constitution, says Dr. Jim White (www.opportunityinvesting.com), author of THE BROKEN AMERICA: Ten Guiding Principles to Restore America. “Mending the nation requires a return to the values of the Constitution and the civility and wisdom of our Founding Fathers,” says Dr. White, founder and president of JL White International. “Citizens must hold leadership accountable at the national, state and local levels. “There is stupefying dishonesty and an alarming lack of accountability by politicians on both sides of the aisle. The global pandemic served not to unite us against a deadly common foe, the coronavirus, but instead further divided the public along party lines. Regardless of which party voters belong to, there are political criteria all patriotic Americans should be requiring, and these can easily be found in the texts and teachings of our Founding Fathers.” Referencing the leadership of the Founding Fathers as a framework, Dr. White cites leadership attributes he believes today’s political leaders must have to guide the nation back on course: A clear, unifying vision. Dr. White says a political leader’s vision must be inclusive. “Political candidates usually have a vision in tandem with their campaigns that appeal to their bases and convince others to hop on the bandwagon,” Dr. White says. “Once in office, however, the vision needs to be amended to include all Americans – not just one party or sector. The elected official must repeatedly convey the vision in a way that’s clear. People should understand why the vision is important, what it means to the average citizen, and
how it will be rolled out.” Recognizes potential in others. Just as in business, it’s crucial for political leaders to hire the best possible job candidates. The problem, Dr. White says, is the freedom these leaders have in hiring cronies, donors and family can lead to less effective governing and even scandal. “Political leaders should be able to identify stars and empower them,” Dr. White says. “The leader is only as good as the team, and at the same time, ‘yes’ men and women is not what any true leader should want.” Develops trust. “To some people, the words ‘trust’ and ‘politics’ don’t belong in the same sentence,” Dr. White says. “The truth is, politicians often lie. We must always hold them accountable for telling the truth. Leaders must have a level of transparency or else public trust in government gets lost.” Shows empathy. “Political leaders must wear many hats, but the most important one is serving the people,” Dr. White says. “That means being present and empathetic when unforeseen tragedy strikes. Leaders are looked upon to help provide immediate help in all facets, including emotional support and encouragement. Our leaders must represent all of the people and show that they care.” Conveys passion. “The nation’s leaders need to have unbridled, unconditional love for our nation,” Dr. White says, “which translates to optimism and a bright future for everyone – not just the wealthy and privileged few. People want to follow a passionate leader who puts the country’s interest above themselves, their political party, and winning.” “Do today’s political leaders have what it takes to drive our nation?” Dr. White asks. “Tragically, the answer is as plain as day: no. But at a minimum, we must expect that our leaders will excel at the attributes the Founding Fathers exemplified.”
Colorado Unemployment Trust Fund set to Become Insolvent Next Week; State will Borrow from Feds Officials say people receiving benefits should see no difference
kinnearinsurance@outlook.com
By: Blair Miller DENVER – Colorado’s unemployment trust fund is expected to become insolvent early next week, but the state will borrow money from the Federal Unemployment Account and people who are on unemployment should not see any interruption in their benefit payments, state Department of Labor and Employment officials said Thursday. The state’s fund currently has less than $50 million in it, the CDLE’s Senior Economist Ryan Gedney said Thursday, adding that he expects it to become insolvent early next week. When that happens, the state will borrow from the FUA account at zero interest for the rest of the year – as 10 other states and the U.S. Virgin Islands are already doing. Last week, Gedney said that Colorado was among eight other states that had made loan requests under the expectation they would also have to borrow from the federal government. It won’t be the first time Colorado has had to borrow federal dollars to pay regular unemployment benefits; it did so during the Great Recession, as did around two-thirds of all states, and during the economic crash during the early 1980s. Gedney said that about 85% of the federal money borrowed so far during the latest recession has been done by California, New York and Texas. The state will be able to borrow at zero interest for the rest of the year under measures passed by Congress, which could also extend the zero-interest borrowing if it chooses to do so. Colorado had about $1.1 billion in the trust fund at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. The state paid out just more than $70 million in regular unemployment benefits last week. In total, the state has paid out $4.5 billion in regular and various federal unemployment benefits since the end of March. CDLE Deputy Executive Director Cher Haavind said that the Colorado business community agreed during the Great Recession to use bonds to get out of the debt owed to the federal government and said the department would be exploring different options to return the fund to solvency in the months ahead. Another 6,187 regular initial unemployment claims were filed by Coloradans last week – the lowest number since the week ending March 14. And there were 9,048 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance initial claims filed last week by self-employed or gig workers. Accommodation and food services continued to account for the highest share of regular initial claims for the week ending July 25. CDLE officials also discussed the FEMA Supplemental Payments for Lost Wages program – what the Trump administration ordered after the Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program was allowed to expire at the end of July. The executive order from President Trump authorized FEMA to use up to $44 billion in disaster relief funds to provide extra payments of $300 per week if a state agrees to match with up to $100 and a person is receiving at least $100 a week in some type of unemployment benefit. Haavind said the department received guidance on the program Wednesday night from the federal government but that Gov. Jared Polis’ administration was still deciding whether or not it would apply for the funds and agree to the match. But she said that if the state moves forward with the program, it will likely take several weeks to reprogram the state’s systems and get the added benefits flowing to people. The CDLE’s Jeff Fitzgerald said his reading of the guidance was that there would only be about $19 billion from the disaster relief fund available since it can only be used down to $25 billion – and the $19 billion could have money moved for upcoming disasters before it could potentially all be used by December 26. Fitzgerald said the state match would have to come from either state funds or state CARES Act money and that the trust fund could also be leveraged to make the match if the state decides to move forward with the program. But he said estimates showed that moving ahead with the program could generate between $60 million and $100 million into Colorado’s economy.

Trump’s Order to Extend Unemployment Benefits Could Cost Colorado $31.1 Million a Week — Money it Doesn’t Have Meanwhile, the state’s unemployment trust fund will run out of money this month while there are still nearly 311,000 workers receiving jobless benefits
Tamara Chuang, The Colorado Sun For Coloradans on unemployment, don’t expect the extra $400 to show up in weekly payments just yet. The state is seeking more guidance on how to move forward with President Donald Trump’s weekend executive order to tap federal and state funds after a federal unemployment supplement ran out July 25. Trump’s order, which critics say he has no authority to do because it breaches congressional spending authority, wants states to pay $100 of each weekly claim, which means Colorado must figure out where that money will come from. Based on nearly 311,000 Coloradans still receiving unemployment benefits at the end of July, that’s an extra $31.1 million the state must find each week to fund Trump’s order. “We don’t have the money, obviously,” said state Sen. Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat and state budget writer. And to move ahead with any change in the payment, the state’s unemployment office must readjust its computer system to handle the alterations. “Until we get more guidance from (U.S. Department of Labor) President Donald J. Trump signs a Presidential memorandum for we are not able to continued student loan payment relief during the COVID-19 pandemic provide additional Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020, at a news conference in Bedminster, N.J. information on im(Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead) plementation timelines or retroactive payments,” said Cher Haavind, deputy director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. “We hear that guidance may come in the next couple of days.” The coronavirus’ blow to the economy has resulted in 679,255 Coloradans making an unemployment claim since March, when restaurants, bars and other businesses minimized operations as state-mandated safety measures were enacted. As of July 25, approximately 310,912 Coloradans were receiving some type of unemployment benefits. Most are paid out of the state’s unemployment trust fund but about a quarter are self-employed or gig workers and are paid from federal money. But for both groups of workers, everyone received an extra $600 a week from the federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program, or PUC, until July 25. The money came from the federal CARES Act to supplement regular unemployment benefits, which typically are 55% of a worker’s regular income. As of Aug. 1, Colorado had paid out $2.3 billion in PUC payments. Congress has been negotiating how to extend the federal benefit with options that include the Democrat-supported HEROES Act, which would extend the $600 weekly payment till Jan. 2021, or the Senate Republicans’ HEALS Act, which would pay just enough to raise jobless workers incomes to 70% of their regular pay. Both proposals have been stuck in partisan limbo. With no breakthrough, Trump signed the order on Aug. 8 to pay an extra $400 of weekly benefits to people on unemployment as part of the Lost Wages Assistance Program. The extra weekly pay would be available until Dec. 6 and funded with about $44 billion from the Disaster Relief Fund. Trump wants states to pay 25% of the weekly benefit. But Trump’s tapping of state funds puts another burden on the state and the action is not legal, said state Senator Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat, who had pushed to increase the trust fund long before the pandemic. “President Trump does not have the constitutional authority to make financial decisions. Only Congress is in charge of the budget,” Hansen said. “Signing this executive order that doesn’t have the force of law is not useful and it doesn’t actually help people. We need to start with that.” Trump later told reporters Sunday that states could apply to have the federal government provide all or part of the $400 payments, according to an Associated Press report. Then again, The Wall Street Journal reported late Sunday that a U.S. Labor Department spokesman said states “are encouraged, but not required” to pay the $100. In states that don’t provide the extra money, people on unemployment would receive only $300 a week from federal funds. Both of Colorado’s U.S. Senators pushed for bipartisan support in Congress to get something passed to help people on unemployment. “If we want states to be able to support Americans through this crisis, we should be providing state and local governments with the funding they need to maintain critical services. There is strong bipartisan support for that, so instead of delays and distrac-
tions, we need to negotiate in good faith and get a bill passed,” Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, said in a statement. Sen. Cory Gardner’s office shared a statement of his support to extend unemployment assistance and that Gardner “will continue to fight for three priorities in a bipartisan, bicameral deal: Making sure that we’re stopping the spread and flattening the curve, helping Coloradans with the immediate relief that they need to get through this crisis, and getting businesses up and running again.” It would be difficult for Colorado to find the extra funds, said Gov. Jared Polis. “Really the state would not be able to do that for more than two to three weeks. Even that is really stretching our resources to the max,” Polis said, speaking to reporters at a new coronavirus testing site at Water World in Federal Heights. Polis said he hopes the short span will give Congress enough time to act. “There needs to be congressional deal between Republicans and Democrat,” he said. The state’s own unemployment trust fund, which had $1.1 billion before the pandemic, is almost out of money. Last week, the state’s economist Ryan Gedney Gov. Jared Polis speaks to reporters at a coronavirus testing site set up said the trust at Water World in Federal Heights on Monday, Aug. 10, 2020. (Jesse Paul, The Colorado Sun) fund, which is funded by employers who pay for unemployment insurance, had about $75 million to $100 million left and will run out this month. Colorado has already requested a federal loan to cover future payments so jobless Coloradans won’t be left without some income. Moreno, the state senator, said Trump’s plan, if Colorado were forced to pay $100 extra a week per unemployed person, would only serve to drain the trust fund faster. “People need help and they need it urgently, which is why (Trump) needs to work with Congress to get this passed,” Hansen said. “To ask the states to pay for a large portion also doesn’t make any sense. The trust fund is (near) a negative balance, meaning that every check we send out (will soon be) a derelict tax on the state of Colorado. People need to understand that.” Since no guidance rolled out with Trump’s order, the state is “awaiting technical guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor on options for implementation within the states,” Haavind said. As soon as that’s available, she said the department will let everyone know. “When we have additional information, we will update claimants on our website, social media platforms, and directly via claimant communications,” she added. This story was updated at 5:50 p.m. on Aug. 10 with comments from both of Colorado’s U.S. Senators.

Pro Farmer Estimates National Corn and Soybeans Yields Below USDA Forecasts Record Crop Possible Despite Iowa Pulling Down National Average
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, August 21, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Pro Farmer, a division of Farm Journal, shared its much-anticipated production estimates today for the 2020 U.S. corn and soybean crops after analyzing information from the 28th annual Pro Farmer Crop Tour and other sources. The estimates are informed by Crop Tour data and observations collected this week by Crop Tour scouts across seven key Midwestern states. Wind damage caused by August Derecho impacted millions of acres of crops and contributes this year to the challenge of forecasting the U.S. crop. Corn: Pro Farmer estimates the 2020 U.S. corn crop at 14.820 billion bu. based on an average yield of 177.5 bu. per acre. That would be down from the United State Department of Agriculture’s August estimate of 181.8 bu. per acre. “Even before reaching Iowa, we had some suspicions about the corn crop’s ability to hit a record. There is simply too much variability in the corn crop across most of the seven Crop Tour states,” said Pro Farmer’s Brian Grete. “It’s difficult to determine how much yield and production Iowa has lost, but the state’s crop has gone backward since Aug. 1, and it’s still sliding.” Soybeans: Pro Farmer estimates the 2020 U.S. soybean crop at 4.362 billion bu. with a national average yield of 52.5 bu. per acre, down from the 53.3 bu. per acre USDA estimated August 12. “On Crop Tour, we’ve never seen a bean crop with so much potential and so much to lose,” stated Pro Farmer’s Jeff Wilson. “Plant health is great, but fields are dry and need rain to finish strong.” The Pro Farmer Crop Tour, a Farm Journal event that informs the Pro Farmer National Yield Estimates, concluded successfully Thursday. The Tour was carried out by an extraordinary group of crop scouts and sponsored by Pioneer, Pivot Bio, RCIS, Farm Credit Services of America, Smart Nutrition, Farmobile and Compeer Financial.

Communities that Work Together, Win Together
By Quint Studer Freedom, independence, self-sufficiency: these are great and glorious concepts. We celebrate them this time of year, whether we process it that way or not, because they’re so deeply engrained in our image of America. We see ourselves as a nation of rugged individualists: seizing the bull by the horns, charting our own course, walking alone into the forest with an axe slung over our shoulder. Yes, it’s a romantic notion. But it’s not an accurate one. America is a nation of small, tightknit communities and always has been. The more we cooperate, share, defer to others, and work together, the more successful we are. Today, as citizens, businesses, and civic leaders seek to come back from a public health and economic crisis, that spirit of community is more important than ever. It holds the key to our survival. I’ve spent much of my career traveling from one American community to another. Some are bustling larger cities. Others are quiet small towns. What they all have in common is the burning desire to revitalize themselves: to become more vibrant, prosperous, livable, and loveable than they are right now. And as I’ve worked with these diverse groups of Americans, I’ve seen a theme emerge: Those communities that work together, win together. When citizens and leaders come together, put their self-interest on the back burner and work as a team, things get done. When they don›t, nothing gets done. The more you think about the myth of the self-reliant early American, the less likely it seems. Our ancestors must have huddled together in small groups and worked to protect each other from a harsh and unforgiving environment. They must have joined forces, shared what they had, and leaned on each other when times were tough. And on the larger stage, our nation›s founders had to work together in a similar fashion to bring America into being. They were working toward independence as a new nation, but they had to rely on interdependence to get there. And as leaders of communities of all shapes and sizes and demographics and political persuasions, we can all learn a lot from them. Here are four big “history lessons” we should all heed as we seek to reopen, recover, rebuild, and continue making our way on journey toward vibrancy: Set aside your self-interest and create something that works for everyone. Lots of different professions, industries, and interests were present at the birth of America. Cabinet makers weren›t fixated only on the wood industry, nor silver smiths on the silver trade. Everyone was fired up to contribute to something bigger than themselves. They bought into the overarching mission, and weren›t bogged down by endless debate over the short-term costs of their plan. In other words, don›t be overly concerned with your own wellbeing. Setting aside your own short-term best interests may accomplish far more for everyone in the long run. Because a rising tide lifts all boats, this includes you. Don’t let ideological differences stop you from achieving something tangible. Despite bitter disputes and differences of opinion, a group of people with little in common other than their shared determination that change was needed were able to get mobilized and get something done. While there was much to be decided about the way things would function in the new nation, they all recognized that there wouldn’t even BE a new nation if they didn’t set aside their disagreements and move the ball down the court. It’s important to know what matters. Don’t let petty disputes about how things should get done sabotage the greater task at hand. Don’t be constantly trying to steal the spotlight from each other. It’s okay to let someone else be “the one in charge.” No one complained that John Hancock’s signature was bigger than theirs, or that so-and-so got to sign the Declaration before they did. (Okay, it’s possible, but we can see by the document that resides in the National Archives that it got done anyway!) The founders kept their focus on the ambitious mission/vision of standing up to one of the most powerful authorities in the world: the King of England. When we try to make it about ourselves, we can get off track and let our self-absorption derail the project or initiative. Keep the greater goal in mind and stay focused on that. Don’t wait on the government to “fix it.” Instead, join together and take bold action at the local level. The changes desired by American colonists weren’t coming from Great Britain. And so, in the summer of 1776 delegates from each of the Thirteen Colonies took it upon themselves to challenge British authorities and make change happen—their way. Citizen-powered change is the most powerful change. If it’s to be, it’s up to you and me, not government agencies. (Local governments tend not to have the budget to drive fundamental change, and due to election cycles, officials come and go. Many won’t be around to see long term projects through.) Yes, early communities needed each other and that drove a lot of their interactions. We went through a period of time where we started to believe we didn›t need each other and that clearly isn›t true. We now realize that working together is the only way we can make our cities and towns thrive. No one is saying America’s founders were perfect. They were far from it, as we are. But one thing they got right was the knowledge that they needed to work together for a common cause. Teamwork is a powerful force. We couldn’t have built a nation without it, and we can’t build a better community without it either.

Larkspur Man Bitten on the Hand by a Bear Friday Morning
Lost Creek Guide
LARKSPUR, Colo. - A Larkspur resident was bitten on the hand by a bear Friday morning outside his home. That individual sought treatment at a hospital and was released. Colorado Parks and Wildlife received a call at 7:10 a.m. Friday morning reporting the incident. Responding wildlife officers searched the area for the bear, which had returned to the home and was euthanized at 9:50 a.m. Due to the nature of the incident and the bear inflicting injury to a human, by state policy that animal must be euthanized. The circumstances surrounding the bite appear to involve feeding and habituation, and are currently being investigated. “People think they are doing the right thing by feeding wildlife and that it helps them out when in fact that selfish action Picture of a black bear in Colorado, not of the bear involved in Friday’s causes them to incident (photo by Jason Clay/CPW) lose their wild nature, is harmful to their wellbeing and in some cases causes them to become dangerous,” CPW Northeast Region Manager Mark Leslie said. The bear will be transported to CPW’s wildlife health lab for necropsy and will be tested for rabies. The Tri-County Health Department has been notified. “The unlawful feeding of bears and all wildlife is a problem in Larkspur and the greater area and it needs to stop,” Wildlife Officer Sean Dodd said. “This is a prime example of why laws are in place that prohibit those actions, it leads to the habituation of our wildlife and creates a public safety issue.” CPW is an enterprise agency, relying primarily on license sales, state parks fees and registration fees to support its operations, including: 41 state parks and more than 350 wildlife areas covering approximately 900,000 acres, management of fishing and hunting, wildlife watching, camping, motorized and non-motorized trails, boating and outdoor education. CPW’s work contributes approximately $6 billion in total economic impact annually throughout Colorado.
Condoleezza Rice Takes Jab at Liberals for Assuming how Black People Should Think: ‘Problem with the Left’ The former secretary of state also says cancel culture has gone too far
The prominent African American Republican told the Aspen Security Forum that she doesn’t think the United States will ever be a truly colorblind society, but she hopes that one day people will stop making assumptions based on race. “I don’t really care if we’re colorblind, but I would like to get to the place that when you see somebody who is Black, you don’t have preconceived notions of what they’re capable of, who they are -- by the way, what they think, which is I think a problem of the left,” Rice said in a video interview with The New York Times’ Peter Baker at the forum. “You look at somebody who’s Black and you think you know what they think, or you at least think you know what they ought to think.” Rice’s comments came after Joe Biden argued African Americans who can’t decide whether to vote for him or President Trump “ain’t black.” Biden’s remarks to Charlamagne Tha God drew swift backlash from African Americans who said Biden, a 77-year-old White Democrat, was condescending and arrogant for trying to dictate how African Americans should vote. Biden later walked back the comments, saying he was being a “wise guy.” Rice, who served in President George W. Bush’s administration, first as national security adviser, took the jab at the left while speaking about the “birth defect” of slavery that she says still has an impact today in American inequities in education, policing and economic opportunities. Rice said widespread school choice is necessary to tackle persistent education gaps that often leave poor, minority students in failing public schools while their wealthy peers have the money to send their children to private schools or move to a desirable school district. “I am not one who believes you can just sort of ‘take on systemic racism,’ I don’t even know how to start,” Rice said. “I do think you can take on the impact of an educational system for minority kids that leaves most of them behind. I think you can take that on. But people might not like my answer. My answer is: Let’s do school choice in a big way.” Rice also spoke out in support of removing Confederate monuments and renaming some military bases -- efforts that have gained steam in the wake of nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis while in police custody. She urged President Trump to support a defense authorization bill that would force the name changes of bases such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Hood in Texas. The White House has threatened a veto. But Rice also drew a line and said the takedown of monuments can go too far, such as an effort to remove the Emancipation Memorial in Washington, D.C., that depicts a freed slave kneeling before former President Abraham Lincoln. “I actually don’t know why anybody wants to defend the Confederacy and Confederate monuments,” Rice said. “I also don’t know why anybody wants to tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln and slaves, which was actually funded by freed slaves. So this has gotten a little out of control, frankly, and I don’t want to be the Soviet Union where we’re trying to erase history.”

Gardner Applauds New NSF Artificial Intelligence Institute at CU Boulder
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO), a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, applauded the announcement today that the National Science Foundation (NSF) will invest $20 million to establish the NSF Artificial Intelligence (AI) Institute for Student-AI Teaming at the University of Colorado Boulder. Colorado is one of only six states selected to lead the new NSF Artificial Intelligence Institutes. Senator Gardner’s Advancing Artificial Intelligence Research Act, S. 3891, would provide Congressional authorization for a national network of artificial intelligence institutes, which would now include this new institute at University of Colorado Boulder. “I’m excited to see this new funding awarded to the University of Colorado Boulder to establish a new Artificial Intelligence Institute, which will keep Colorado at the forefront of AI research,” said Senator Gardner. “Artificial intelligence has the potential to change the world for the better and increase the quality of life for people everywhere. It’s vital that the United States continues to lead artificial intelligence efforts, and I will continue working to support our nation’s scientific research and development enterprise in Colorado and across the country.” During his time in the U.S. Senate, Gardner has helped increase funding for NSF by approximately 13 percent. Gardner has a longstanding history of promoting additional investments in research and development and has also introduced two major bills on artificial intelligence: the Artificial Intelligence in Government Act, which passed the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the Advancing Artificial Intelligence Research Act, which recently passed the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Cory Gardner is a member of the U.S. Senate serving Colorado. He sits on the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee, and is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy.
Colorado Peach Growers Urge Consumers to Enjoy Colorado Peaches, Current Recall for Out-of-State Peaches ONLY
Colorado peach growers now in the middle of peach harvest are concerned that the recall of out-of-state peaches could impact peach sales and are urging Colorado consumers to check the source of their peaches and to continue enjoying Colorado grown peaches. As per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, consumers, restaurants and retailers should not eat, sell or serve recalled peaches packed or supplied by Prima Wawona from June 1 to Aug. 19. More details are available at: https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaksfoodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-enteritidis-peaches-august-2020 "Oftentimes consumers hear about a product recall and quit eating that product altogether, even though only produce from a specific source is implicated," said Palisade peach grower Bruce Talbott, Talbott's Mountain Gold. "We are asking consumers to check the source of their peaches. If they have the Colorado Proud logo or are otherwise known to be Colorado grown, they are not part of the recall." CFVGA has supported and continues to support food safety initiatives and training specific to the Food Safety Modernization Act in collaboration with Colorado State University Extension, Western Growers and the Colorado Department of Agriculture. CFVGA will continue to work with its grower members to keep them informed about any food safety issues that could impact Colorado produce growers or the health of consumers. "It is so important that Colorado consumers buy the very popular Western Slope peaches that growers have labored so hard to produce, harvest and deliver safely to retail outlets," said Harrison Topp, of Topp Fruits in Hotchkiss. "It is especially important for consumers to support Colorado fruit growers in 2020, as so many have reduced crop volumes because of the late spring freeze on Western Slope orchards." The CFVGA has approximately 250 members, including produce operations of all sizes and types of production throughout the state, as well as representatives of allied industries. The Colorado fruit and vegetable growing sector contributes nearly $485 million to Colorado at the farm gate and is multiplied as it goes through the distribution chain. Over 90,000 Colorado acres are in fruit and vegetable production.

Study Suggests 2020 Polls may be Missing ‘Shy’ Trump Voters
Republican and Independent voters are more reluctant than Democrats to reveal their preference for president, study found By Julia Musto | Fox News FRepublican and independent voters are twice as likely to not reveal their true preference for president in a telephone poll, a study found. CloudResearch, an online market research and data collection company, found that 11.7% of Republicans and 10.5% of independents said they wouldn’t share their true opinion, while only 5.4% of Democrats said the same. «That raises the possibility that polls understate support for President Donald Trump,” Bloomberg reported Friday. According to CloudResearch, some survey responders said they thought it would be “dangerous” to express an opinion outside the “current liberal viewpoint.” While the survey was conducted online, inquiries about the results were made via phone interviews. A voter casts a ballot at a polling station inside the Brooklyn Museum in New York in June 2020. (AP Photo/John Minchillo, File) Participants were asked for their political preference for president, how they felt about sharing that preference in a phone poll, and later whom they actually supported for the office. CloudResearch explained to Bloomberg that political party affiliation was the sole characteristic that correlated consistently with reluctance to divulge true presidential preference. There were reportedly no correlations with age, race, education or income. The research group used two different samples to draw its conclusions. In one control group, 1,000 respondents were evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans and independents. The other included a different set of 1,000 people selected to match the demographics of likely voters, regardless of party. The findings once again highlight whether «shy» Trump voters were undercounted in polling data prior to the 2016 election, which his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton had been projected to win. An exhaustive post-mortem published by the American Association for Public Opinion Research found that some Americans who voted for the president did not show their support for him until after the election and that they outnumbered late-revealing Clinton voters. The association also explained that while those who admit changing their minds normally break evenly between the Republican and Democratic candidates, people who did so in 2016 voted for Trump by a 16 percentage point margin. Video Nevertheless, evidence of a “shy” Trump effect remains inconclusive, and there were limitations to the study. The public research group theorized that if voters did not want to tell a live interviewer they supported Trump, the president would do worse in live-interview polls than in automated polls -- but he did not. CloudResearch Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Research Officer Leib Litman told Bloomberg that many people were just as distrustful of live calls as automatic calls because the response would be recorded. National polls ahead of November have shown Democrat Joe Biden leading Trump in many key swing states, but in recent weeks the president has gained some ground. According to recent Real Clear Politics averages, Trump is largely outperforming his 2016 benchmarks in some of the states most important to an Electoral College victory with a little more than two months to go until Election Day.
