Building a Better Colorado

Weld County Commissioners Hold Annual Town & County Meeting Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Home Rule Charter adopted in 1976

by Bob Grand Recently the Denver Post ran an article about a civic organization that was formed to start to grapple with the fiscal and electoral issues that Colorado faces. This bipartisan effort is attempting to address the reality of where we are in Colorado and to develop dialogue on where we should be going. Started up by Dan Ritchie, former Chancellor of the University of Denver, the group is committed to be bi-partisan and has many supports Many Weld county officials, staff and local Weld County government officials attended from both major parties involved. the County/Town dinner meeting celebrating the 40th anniversary of the signing of the At the rate Colorado is going we are going in the next few years there will probably not be Weld County Home Rule Charter. enough money for K-12 education, health and human services, and public safety, let alone Approved in the September 9th, anything else.

After the vigorous discussions were complete, with consensus reached County Administrative offices on O street in Greeley. on recommendations, the groups assembled back, as one group, and shared their ideas. There was strong consensus on the resulting recommendations. These types of meetings will be held throughout the state, and a consensus set of recommendations will be made, which hopefully will result in some ballot issues for the 2016 election that will clarify the issues facing our state.

The Greeley group was a mixed demographic, age, employment, sex, and political orientation. What was clear was that the status quo was not an acceptable option. Similar to what the Republican party is experiencing, people are tired of bickering having our elected politicians not addressing our important issues. They want solutions not partisan politics.

Over the next few issues the paper will explore each of these issue in greater detail.

Plans for 179 Home Subdivision in Wiggins Set in Motion by Wiggins Town Council Wiggins Seeks GOCO Grant for Swimming Pool

A new housing subdivision is beginning to take shape in Wiggins. Wiggins Town Council members approved a resolution Wednesday night to sell 68 acres to Genesis Development management in Greeley for the purpose of developing a 179 home subdivision that will include areas for parks and other neighborhood amenities. Closing is not expected to take place until February 29, 2016 to allow for due diligence on zoning, platting, environmental studies, and other regulatory measures.

Genesis Development Management will be responsible for managing the creation of the new subdivision by organizing the site development work and selling the lots. Genesis Development is an offshoot of Baessler Homes who will be the preferred builder for the project., but opportunities for other builders and contractors will be available according to the council.

In the past, growth in the Wiggins area was restricted by flood plain issues and concerns over enough water. But previous councils are now seeing the fruition of their work on providing the levee which took Wiggins out of the flood plain. The new water wells which recently went online are sufficient to meet the town needs, according to Paul Larino, Town Manager. The town is making long term plans to make sure water use is efficient and sustainable.; which includes more options to purchase water, he said. In addition, the housing growth will help keep rates down as cost of the water system is spread over more customers.

Oregon Trail Jerky, which will be operating a meat and beef jerky manufacturing facility at the industrial park located east of town, is expected to employ 20 people within the next year, with expectations of eventually hiring 120 people. Available housing is a concern for Oregon Trail Jerky owners, Todd and Kim Hoffman, who welcome the new subdivision.

In addition council members approved a resolution in support of a GOCO grant to fund a swimming pool, which if approved, would be located on the old town farm. The plan also includes a park and trails to connect the school, open space, and the pool area. The GOCO grant must be submitted by November 8 and recipients will be announced in March of 2016.

Road improvements are priority for Wiggins Town Council members and discussion and work on ways to best make those improvements effectively and efficiently will continue, council members said.

Way of the World

Lost Creek Guide

by Bob Grand More and more, we are beginning to see signs that we, the people, are beginning to step forward and say enough is enough. Our elected politicians are having to admit and recognize that there is real concern about doing something about how we run our government at the national and state level. Our future, as a country and state depends on our young people. I know, some find that frightening, but just think about what your parents thought when you were young? What, you can’t remember?

Seriously, we have to work together to solve the many issues that we face today. It is not important to blame somebody, and yes, there is plenty of that to go around. But of what value is that? We need solutions that give our country the ability to provide the best opportunities for the future, for our young people as well as providing a safety net for those that need it.

People should not have to apologize for working towards common goals with people across the aisle.

We have evolved a culture of hate and distrust, not based on fact but extreme politics.

We are better than that, and, quite frankly deserve better than that. Remind our politicians we elect them to serve the people, all of the people.

After 13 Years of Economic Development, Linker Moving On

Special Report by Morgan County Economic Development Corporation Morgan County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC) regrettably announced today that after 13 years of working in the economic development field, executive director, Kari Linker has tendered her resignation effective November 6, 2015.

“We are very sorry to see the most qualified director that MCEDC has ever employed, move on,” said board president John Sweenie.

While working for MCEDC, Linker has made a lot of progress.

Local governments support and communications have continued, as well as her work with numerous prospects, some of which have come to fruition. Many more businesses have discussed and worked with Linker regarding relocation, expansion or the opening of a new business.

Linker, will be missed by the board and her staff. “Due to her drive and compassion for Morgan County, Kari brought more than a wealth of knowledge. She brought passion for the communities she has lived in and worked for,” past board president Patricia Crites stated.

Linker will be finishing out her time and then moving on to her new opportunity with Morgan Community College (MCC). “I am very excited about this new opportunity as the Director of Development at MCC. It was not easy to leave an organization that I truly support and love, but continuing my work in Morgan County and on the Eastern Plains with MCC will allow me to continue making this area a wonderful place to live and work,” Linker said.

A committee will be formed to conduct the search for the new executive director, and in the mean time the office will continue to run with Kristine Rodine, Marketing and Administrative Coordinator and the support of the MCEDC Executive Team.

“It has been a privilege to work with Kari and learn from all her years of experience with MCEDC and the Colorado State Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Her vast knowledge and pure love of Morgan County will be hard to replace,” Rodine said.

“We wish Kari the best of luck in her new endeavor at MCC,” added Sweenie.

As well as being the executive director to MCEDC, Linker also heads the regional economic development group, is an ex-officio to numerous other boards and donates her time to several other clubs within Morgan County.

Gardner-Lee Amendment Requires Regulatory Rollback Alongside Debt Increase

Washington, DC – Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) announced today that they are introducing, as an amendment to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the Reducing Excessive Government (REG) Act, which would require that any increase in the debt limit approved by Congress and the President be accompanied by a dollar-for-dollar decrease in regulatory burden for every new dollar of debt.

“Excessive regulation is a heavy weight on our economy, slowing down growth, decreasing productivity, and costing jobs,” Gardner said. “By rolling back burdensome regulations that restrict growth and strangle the American economy, the REG Act would provide much-needed relief – paving the way for American businesses to grow, innovate, and create jobs.”

“Since joining the Senate I have consistently opposed raising the debt limit unless it included structural spending reforms,” Lee said. “While this proposal wouldn’t cut government spending, it would save the American people trillions in regulatory compliance. Furthermore, this amendment would not preclude us from seeking other structural reforms the next time the debt limit needs to be raised. This regulatory repeal process would be just another tool for protecting the freedoms of the American people and future generations of Americans.”

In the event of a temporary suspension of the debt limit, the REG Act would require the Secretary of the Treasury to submit an estimate to Congress for the amount of new debt which would be incurred during that suspension. If the debt limit were to be raised by a set amount rather than suspended, the dollar-for-dollar reductions in the REG Act would apply to that set amount.

Federal agencies would provide Congress with a report, certified by the Government Accountability Office, of regulations with a cost to the United States’ economy of over $100 million. Congress would be required to vote on the removal of an amount of regulatory burden equal to the amount of new debt. The President would then sign that removal legislation into law.

If Congress fails to pass the removal of regulatory burden or the President fails to sign it, the debt limit would snap back to current levels plus any debt acquired since passage of legislation to increase or suspend the debt limit.

Fort Lupton Welcomes Home Korean War POW Grant Ewing

Lost Creek Guide

The City of Fort Lupton welcomed home Korean War POW Grant Ewing 64 years after he had passed away. The Cemetery was well prepared for the reception. The entrance way was lined with American flags on both sides of the road. The attendees represented family, friends, local officials and several veterans who were there to pay their respect to a hero coming to his final resting place. From Fort Carson, a burial detail and an honor guard from the 299th BE Engineering Battalion provided the proper service including the flag presentation to the family and a 21 gun salute.

None of those soldiers were born when Grant Ewing made the ultimate sacrifice. A contingent from the VFW Post 9741 of Frederick were there as well as an honor guard from the Fort Lupton Fire Department.

Walking around the Fort Lupton cemetery one is amazed at the history that is represented there. Many names are familiar but not all their stories are known except for family members and some friends. It reminds us how we are here on earth for a relatively brief time.

Commendations to the City of Fort Lupton for giving their returning hero a proud, welcome home.

American Legion Junior Auxiliary Unit 180 – Keenesburg, Colorado Take top State Honors for their Service to Veterans and Community

The American Legion Junior Auxiliary at Unit 180 in Keenesburg has had a very busy year. Their reporting year ends March 30. They have worked diligently to build recognition in our community as a service and support group. Currently there are approximately 30 junior members and we have 9-18 girls actively participate in meetings and events.

In the past year they have donated 2191.75 hours and made $1700.00 in donations. Last year they also raised nearly $4000.00 to send two juniors and two chaperones to National Convention in Charlotte, NC. This year they worked to send four girls and two chaperones to Baltimore, MD for National Convention.

The juniors meet twice a month, the first and third Monday’s of the month.

The girls have been consistent in their raising money efforts by hosting community involved events such as: Father / Daughter dinner and dance and their Mother / Son event.

Last year the girls had the honor of hosting a party of the Department (state) President Deb McBride.

In years past they have attended Relay for Life however this year had conflicting dates. The girls decided to not attend the event but made a $750.00 donation. This year they have stepped it up and are now on the planning committee for Relay for Life coming in June 2016.

Last year we had the privilege of having two of our girls elected to state offices: Honorary Department President, Rachel Leet and one Honorary Department Treasurer, Samantha Stam. This year we have three girls that have been elected to state office: Honorary Department President, Samantha Stam, Honorary Treasurer, Taylor Utecht, and Honorary Historian, Kailey Fobare.

They girls have hosted a breakfast, a monthly dinner, community events, Honor our Hero’s dinner, Freedom Walk (9-11), made ornaments and cookies, participated in Keenesburg Days, traveled to other posts to perform the Military Child Ceremony, made lap blankets for the VA Hospital and delivered them, adopted a family to buy Christmas presents for, tamale sale, Kraut burger sale, as well as made several raffle baskets.

Three girls attended the Mid-Year conference last year where they worked on lap blankets for veterans. All the juniors at conference presented National Commander Mike Helm with a lap blanket to give to “One Special Veteran.” He delivered the blanket to a veteran at the Fargo VA. They also presented a check for $750 to the department leadership for the Colorado Children’s Funds.

Honorary Department President Rachel Leet also attend the new unit in Brush’s first fundraiser, which was a tea party to raise money for girl’s state.

The girls also have the opportunity to travel and meet national officers with the American Legion family. They attended S.A.L. National Commander Mike Moss’s homecoming and had dinner with National Auxiliary President Janet Jefford. They were honored to have her come and sit at the table and chat with them. Then when she ad-

Page 5

dressed the group she talked about the juniors a lot. Made the girls feel honored and proud. They present her with a lap robe that she said she would give to “One Special Veteran” during her travels.

Their hard work and efforts were recognized with the Top Junior Program in the state, for the 7th year. On behalf of all the juniors in the state the Commander of the American Legion Richard Humphrey presented them with the Commanders Award for service.

What’s Next for these Young Ladies: These young ladies are working hard to strengthen their group. We are looking for new members that want to learn and grow their impact. This is a great community service opportunity, builds character, and teaches servitude and patriotism.

The girls host a Monthly Dinner the 2nd Friday of the month at the American Legion Post 180 - Keenesburg. The next dinner will be November 13, 2015 from 5:307:30pm: Ham, company potatoes, veggie, and desert for only $8 per person. Also, the girls are doing a food drive of non-perishable items to help stock food banks. You may bring donations to the American Legion in Keenesburg. Please come and support the girls continue their mission in helping veterans, community, and children.

They will be making ornaments, planning a trip to the VA Hospitals around Christmas time, Honor our Veterans dinner, annual sleep over, in addition to being a part of the Relay for Life planning team.

Interested in learning more about the Junior Auxiliary, come join us at a meeting the first or third Monday of the month at 7 pm at the American Legion Post 180 Keenesburg.

Weld County Commissioners Continue Presentation About Weld County Bright Futures Grant Program

WELD COUNTY, CO – During last week’s Board meeting, Commissioner Pro-Tem Mike Freemen reported the Weld County Commissioners are continuing to do presentations about the Weld County Bright Futures Grant Program. Since its launch on September 1, 2015, the Board has presented to over 15 local businesses, organizations and service groups to explain the donation process, program eligibility requirements and why Bright Futures is beneficial to not only Weld County students but also families and businesses.

The commissioners are scheduled to meet with six other businesses, organizations and service groups throughout the rest of October and November.

The Weld County Bright Futures Grant Program is a first-in tuition assistance program for post-secondary education from an accredited institution or certified training program.

All students who graduate from high school starting in 2016, who are legally residing in Weld County, and have been residents of Weld County at least two of the last four years; one of those years being the year of graduation from high school are eligible for the grant program. Also, an individual earning a GED after January 1, 2016, who has resided in Weld County two years prior to the application date; one of those years being the year of receiving a GED is eligible as well as any honorably discharged veteran who graduated from a Weld County high school since 2006 and currently resides in the county.

The Board of County Commissioners started this program because they are committed to investing back into the community and building a stronger workforce. In order to start the program, the Board dedicated $15 million to the grant fund and are encouraging residents and businesses to donate as well. Each resident or business that donates will receive a property tax credit of up to 50% of their donations, as well as State and Federal income tax deduction for their charitable donation.

“By starting this program we are creating opportunities and helping shape the future of Weld County’s workforce,” said Freeman. “It is very rewarding to know with each donation the residents and businesses of Weld County are helping someone further their education.”

If you would like someone to speak to your business or organization about the Weld County Bright Futures Grant Program, please call 970-336-7204 or email brightfutures@

Colorado FAFSA Project Hits the National Stage

Experts from the Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Colorado Department of Education went to the White House earlier this week to discuss the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA. Colorado created a model approach that has been adopted by many other states and has drawn national attention due to its effectiveness in increasing college enrollment among low income students.

The “Reach Higher” FAFSA Summit highlighted the Colorado-based FAFSA project, as well as other FAFSA projects nationwide. The Colorado project consists of a web tool that securely provides information to school counselors about students who have not yet completed a FAFSA. In Colorado, the first year the statewide data portal was implemented (2012), FAFSA completion increased by more than 5 percent.

“When we talk about college affordability, we have to address the FAFSA. It is the first step to getting low-income students the financial help they need to continue their education,” said Lt. Governor Joe Garcia, executive director, Colorado Department of Higher Education. “Once students complete the FAFSA, they become aware of federal, state, and institutional aid that can make college affordable. Too many low-income students assume that college is out of reach because of the cost but, once they fill out the FAFSA, they discover that it is within reach.”

Approximately 30 percent of low income students that attend college do not complete a FAFSA. For high school seniors in Colorado, that equates to $12 to $14 million in Pell grants that is left on the table annually. Of course, many more who fail to fill out the FAFSA never enroll at all, leaving not only money, but human potential, on the table.

“A vast majority of Colorado students who complete a FAFSA during their senior year of high school enroll in college within one year,” said Interim Commissioner of Education Elliott Asp. “The FAFSA project empowers school counselors to better help ARE YOU students achieve their college goals and be college ready.”

Thirteen other states have joined Colorado so far in its FAFSA efforts, either by participating in the professional learning community or using the free Colorado web tool as a model for their states.

“Generous funds from the Kresge Foundation allowed us to create an application for other states to use the portal in their state,” said Dr. Beth Bean, who is leading the Colorado project in partnership with Misti Ruthven from the Colorado Department of Education. “We were also able to create a national professional learning community where we share best practices and address challenges and propose solutions. Colorado is learning from others as Aims Community College sets the stage for your future much as states are learning from us.”

Lost Creek Guide

by Faythe Harris, from The Claw Wiggins Cross Country’s boys’ and girls’ teams, shown here with their regional plaques, both placed second at last week’s regional meet. Both teams will run at the state meet this Saturday.

The Wiggins High school cross country teams both qualified for the state meet last Thursday, October 22. The male and female teams competed in Colorado Springs, where both teams placed in the top two. Those placings solidified their opportunity to run at State. This also made the sixth straight year that both teams have qualified for the state meet.

The boys’ team knew before they even ran that top two was an easy goal to achieve. “I can say I was relieved that we qualified because we were expecting to place top two,” Wiggins Cross Country’s boys’ and girls’ teams, shown here with their regional plaques, both placed second at last week’s regional said head coach Mario Garcia. The boys took meet. Both teams will run at the state meet. second with a score of 21. Preceding them to take first was Peyton High School, who scored 7 points. The boys’ team has been gunning for Peyton since the beginning of the season, and senior Reid Ernst said that their goal is to finally beat Peyton at state.

The girls’ team had a different story. Going into regionals, the girls’ team was tied for third with Kiowa, so going into that day they were uncertain about where they may end up.

The girls were able to pull ahead of Kiowa by one point and seal the second-place finish. “It was shocking, like all our hard work finally paid off,” said senior Kamryn Sirios. Not only did the girls make it to state, but junior Maggie Allen placed first individually making her a regional champion. Allen said it was a huge accomplishment, and she was happy she was able to pull through for her team.

The two teams will compete in the state meet this Friday, October 30, in Colorado Springs. Results of that meet were not available at presstime.

Colorado Cattlemen’s Association Joining Forces with the National Western Center

Partnership will help advance agribusiness hub at the future center

Arvada - The North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative (NDCC) and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) announced today a partnership that will advance the vision for the National Western Center (NWC) by engaging the broader agriculture industry in key planning efforts; and transform the NWC into a local, regional, state and international epicenter for agribusiness.

“Creating valuable partnerships with deeply connected organizations like the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association that focus on agribusiness are critically important to the National Western Center vision,” said Kelly Leid, Executive Director of the NDCC. “The CCA is a national leader in the beef industry and they understand the history, challenges and opportunities of our state’s agribusiness issues. They will be a great resource as we advance the NWC master plan and promote our intent to create an agricultural campus that brings experts together to discuss, research, pilot and implement global food solutions and drive new jobs into the economy.”

The CCA, which was founded in 1867, has been an advocate for Colorado’s beef industry for nearly 150 years, currently serving more than 12,000 beef producers in the state. Its operations were previously at the National Western Complex, but they currently have their headquarters in Arvada. The partnership will explore having the CCA return its headquarters back to the NWC site and co-locate agriculture production and agribusiness organizations that advance the vision of the NWC. The partnership also calls for exploring additional space needs for future growth of the organization’s portfolio. The CCA is committed to making a financial investment in the NWC, focused on facilities.

The NWC master plan calls for a variety of broad-based collaborations that will activate the campus all year. Collaborations in areas such as food and food production, agriculture and livestock were recommended in the plan.

Muscle Making Workouts

By CVPRD Fitness and Wellness Coordinator David Peters For the dedicated gym goers putting on muscle can be an issue. After the initial phases of growth, “gains” may slow down and physical performance can plateau. How does one get past the “doldrums” of gym training?

There are several different ways to help promote muscle growth, but the following are by far my favorites. Please note that these training methods aren’t for the faint of heart!

• Barbell/kettlebell complexes o YouTube barbell/kettlebell complexes to get a clearer understanding of the exercises needed to get your lungs and muscles burning. A good complex will get you doing exercises from the bottom up. Essentially you will want to load up a barbell with weight; or grab a kettlebell and complete a round of 6-8 exercises before setting the barbell down. The weight should be light enough for you to get through about 5 circuits, but heavy enough to make you feel the burn. Test yourself and do as many sets as possible!

• Focus on the eccentric contraction o By definition the eccentric contraction is the motion David Peters of an active muscle while it is lengthening under load. Did I lose anyone? A simple way to think of the eccentric contraction is the lowering motion of doing a pushup. Focus on lowering the weight slowly and controlled (it should take you 2-3 seconds to go through the eccentric motion).

• Super sets o Pick two exercises and do them back-to-back. A good rule of thumb to follow is pairing opposing muscle groups with one another (chest/back or biceps/triceps) This will help ramp up the intensity of your workouts by increasing your time under tension and shortening your rest intervals.

Struggling to put on muscle is a problem that all devoted gym-goers face. However, the tips previously listed should help you break through plateaus and achieve more success in the gym! Come by the Carbon Valley Park and Recreation District or give me a call with any further questions!

David Peters is the Fitness and Wellness Coordinator at the Carbon Valley Park and Recreation District.

District Attorney’s Office Gives Strangulation Presentation to Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance

Keystone, CO –On Monday, October 26th, Weld County District Attorney Michael J. Rourke and 19th Judicial District Crime Victim Compensation Coordinator Fawn Harmon presented at the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance Annual Conference on Investigating Strangulation. Their training sought to share local research with victim service providers, and stress the complexity of this particular type of violence, all from a rural perspective.

The research was conducted by Fawn Harmon, after noting strangulation cases coming through County Court with misdemeanor level charges. Her background in community victim services and knowledge about the lethality of strangulation in domestic violence cases prompted her to start conversations about these cases with attorneys and advocates both locally and statewide. On Monday, Harmon stated “We had an opportunity to gather data from affidavits we already collect on a daily basis, and conduct a small study.” Used as a directed study in pursuit of her Master’s Degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Applied Statistics and Research Methods, Harmon gathered information from affidavits involving elements of strangulation collected during calendar year 2014.

The results prompted changes in how cases are handled by the Weld County District Attorney’s Office, and the Office is sharing Harmon’s findings through trainings and presentations at the local level. District Attorney Michael Rourke added “Collaboration between law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and community support providers will ensure improved and more consistent outcomes as these investigations focus on the intimate nature of the crime.”

— Obituaries — Carol maul McMillan Mary Margaret Arnold

Mary Margaret Arnold, 78, of Keenesburg, Colorado, passed away October 14 after a brave and lengthy battle with cancer.

Born December 22, 1937 to Herman and Margaret (Hoffman) Schreibvogel in Garden City, Kansas, Mary was a graduate of Adams City High School. She was employed by American Fertilizer as a bookkeeper. She was especially proud of her work as a mother and a homemaker. She later worked alongside her sisters, Carol and Dian, at the Hair Hut in Brighton for several years.

She was member of the Holy Family Altar and Rosary Society. Her husband of 58 years, Daryl, her family, her children, and grandchildren were extremely special to Mary. Cooking, sewing and caring for them as a farm wife and mother was one of her greatest joys and are all things she did remarkably well. The sound of her sewing machine was common as she worked to sew outfit for the girls, and, matching pajamas for all of the children during Christmas.

Mary and Daryl were married in 1957. In 1964 they moved to Keenesburg, Colorado, and began years of farming, feeding cattle, raising and showing paint horses and raising their children.

Mary and Daryl loved to race and show horses and did so with great success. Other enjoyments were going on small gambling trips, or supporting their children and grandchildren in sports, rodeo, and livestock shows.

Mary taught her children and grandchildren by example how to love their spouses and family fiercely and what a heart of gold looks like. Her faith was deep and her sense of style was unmistakable, though she would never admit it. Mary’s signature style was marked by the turquoise squash blossom necklaces Daryl made a tradition of purchasing for her throughout their marriage.

Mary’s heart for service was evident outside the home through her love of agriculture and her years as a member of the Colorado Cattlewomen’s Association. She often spoke of a memorable trip to New York to see the infamous NWSS champion steer, Big Mac. Together, Mary and Daryl had six children: Dwight (Taryn) Arnold of Joes, Colorado; Shelly (Jim) Gabel of Wiggins, Colorado; Boyd (Helen) Arnold of Keenesburg, Colorado; Trudy (Kevin) Bell of Keenesburg, Colorado; and Karen and Kelly Arnold, infant deceased twins. Mary was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Grandchildren are Eric (friend Rachel) Gabel; Todd (Corinne) Gabel; Erin (Rowdy) Bydalek; Andy (Brecken) Arnold; Chad Gabel; Desiree (Sean) Minahan; Hope (Chad) Demit; Brooke (fiancé Brian) Arnold; Kristin (Bud) Weibert; and Timmy Arnold. Great Grandchildren are Adison and Bowden Demit, Clay and Trent Gabel; Blaine, Peyton and Alec Arnold; Cole and Kailyn Minahan and Braden Weibert.

Mary is survived by her husband Daryl, four children and spouses, 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Brothers Jim Schreibvogel of Brighton, Colorado; Bob (Linda) Schreibvogel of Brighton, Colorado; sisters Lori (Bob) Lauer of Brighton, Colorado; Carol (Stan) Oster of Brighton, Colorado; Dian (Chauncy) Graves of DuPont, Colorado; brothers and sisters in law Bill and Shirley Graybill of Hudson, Colorado; Pear Whitman of Fort Lupton, Colorado; Bob and Pam Timm of Holyoke, Colorado; Larry and Sharon Arnold of Brighton, Colorado; Ted Younger of Brighton, Colorado, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Mary is preceded in death by her mother, Margaret Schreibvogel and father, Herman Schreibvogel, brothers, Kenneth Schreibvogel, and Butch Schreibvogel, sister Shirley Younger, and sisters-in-law, Lorraine Schreibvogel, Ester Schreibvogel, Marie Beckett, Stella Meits, brothers-in-law, Bill Graves, and Claude Arnold and two infant twin daughters, Karen and Kelly.

Rosary Service were held on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 7:00pm at Tabor Rice Funeral Home in Brighton, Colorado.

Celebration of Life Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 2:00pm at Harvest Fellowship Church, 11401 E. 160th Ave, Brighton, Colorado. Reception folowed at the South East Weld County Fair Grounds in Keenesburg, Colorado.

Tabor-Rice Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.

Carol Maul McMillen passed away at her home in Scotts Valley on Oct. 2, after a very tough but short fight against melanoma.

Carol was born Nov. 15, 1940 to Carl and Esther Maul in Wyoming. She grew up in Weld County, Colorado, and graduated from Prospect Valley School. After graduating from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, she worked briefly in New York City’s fashion industry before settling in California and devoting her life to teaching, music and art.

Carol will always be known for her love of painting, music, and pottery, and the fact that she never turned away a stray animal. As a teacher in the Santa Cruz County School district for over 20 years, she made a positive lasting impression on many.

Always an animal lover and advocate for the underdog, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to one of the following organizations: www.montereybayaquarium.org, in Monterey, CA; Wilder Ranch State Park, near Santa Cruz, CA; or www.wildanimalsanctuary.org, in Keenesburg, CO. Cremation by A Direct Cremation. A Celebration of Life was held in Scotts Valley, CA Carol is survived by her daughter Tia St. Antoine of Cle Elum, WA, and sister Janelle Helling of Kersey, CO. She was preceded in death by both parents and a brother, Carl Clyde “Shelly” Maul.

Robert Hugh McCracken passed away in his home in Brighton, CO on October 23, 2015.

He was born on May 21, 1936 in Heartstrong, Colorado south of Yuma, to Helen Faye and Charlie McCracken. He was the last surviving member of his family that included 8 children.

He leaves behind his wife of 60 wonderful years, Dorothy Arlene (Luellen) whom he married on August 21, 1955. Together they had 4 children. Cindy Martinez (Matt) of Parker, CO; Greg McCracken (Marcy) of Aurora, CO; Sandra McCracken of Denver, CO; and Cheryl Hollingsworth(Terry) of Keenesburg, CO. Bob is also survived by his sister inlaws Betty Franson, Teddy McCracken, and Dorothy McCracken.

Bob enjoyed the love and attention of his wife and children but mostly his 8 grandchildren– Amber (Chris), Nicole, Joseph, Daniel, Mandy, Cara, Kelli, and Glen. And also time with 4 great-grand children – Davien, Sierra, Haven, and Ryan.

Bob spent his working career and then retired from Safeway, Inc. He managed stores all over the Denver area and could rarely go anywhere without someone recognizing him from his years of service.

Lost Creek Guide

GREELEY, CO – Oct. 27, 2015 – Aims Community College has received more than $120,000 from community leaders towards sponsorship of the Greeley campus Physical Education and Recreation Center (PERC), and more sponsorships are available.

Cash contributions have been received from Banner Health, Dr. Marsi Liddell and Tim Fleming; Flood and Peterson; Linda and Jack Schreiber, and Frank and Betty Ottesen.

Sponsors’ names are displayed outside the selected room.

“Community members have been very generous in supporting and investing in the Physical Education and Recreation Center by sponsoring rooms within the facility,” said Dr. Leah L. Bornstein, president of Aims Community College. “We are looking forward to gaining additional partners who want to promote health and fitness to approximately 9,000 students, faculty and staff at Aims Community College.”

Open Your Heart and Listen

Yesterday, I visited The Eagles Nest, an assisted living facility near here. The director, Marilyn, invited me to join a group in their library. Here were 4 elderly men, and one 22 year old, who were all pilots at an airfield next door to the facility. Suddenly I found myself in middle of conversations of flying airplanes, the different types of planes they had flown, and stories upon stories of all the situations they had found themselves in while flying. And they welcomed me in like I had been in their group all along.

After we had talked for an hour or two, we sat down together at a table and had a dinner of cheeseburgers (hot from the grill no less), some coleslaw, french fries and baked beans.

And just because we were eating, the stories didn’t stop. Afterwards, out came the cribbage board and although I hadn’t played in a loooong while, they brought me in anyway.

Old friends. Sometimes I think that in this technologically spoiled world we live in, where everything is focused on the young (and often foolhardy), we forget about those who are elderly....and there is so very much we can learn from them.

Proverbs said it pretty plainly when it said to accept advice from the elderly so that we can gain wisdom for the future. And if you ever have the chance to spend time with elderly people like I did, sometimes it is good just to be quiet and listen. They are indeed wise, and there is much to learn from them.

Farrell and Farrell have a song called “Old Friends”. It’s lyrics go like this: “It’s a sad, sad world for the lonely, but there’s none to great that love won’t mend. You can have a part if you will open your heart, and take your love to some old friend.” Exactly.

So the next time you have the chance, go visit a nursing home, or an assisted living, or maybe just your mom or dad, grandma or grandpa, and just be quiet and listen. You will hear things that will make you feel alive...and if everything goes right, even some things that can help you in your day to day living.

So open up your hearts and take your love to some old friend. You won’t find what you learn there on a cellphone or videogame....but what you will learn is something that will make you a completely better person. And when you leave, bring them a blessing from the One Most High, and be ready to be invited back quickly and often!

Be Well, Do Good Work...and Be Blessed Like Crazy!

Weld RE3j Administration Holds Facilities Discussion Town Hall Meeting at Hudson Academy in Hudson, Colorado

On Thursday night this past week RE3J held a facilities discussion town hall meeting at Hudson Academy. Turn out was exceptionally high as parents were concerned about the growth in Lochbuie and the impact on the quality of education offered to their children and some citizens who were just concerned about taxes.

In the real world, life is complex and folks must work together to generate solutions. The Town of Lochbuie is probably not going to stop issuing building permits, as one member of the audience suggested.

Living in a bubble, ignoring reality, does not make for good or even workable solutions. The growth question is not a new one, but it is beginning to get very noticed in Lochbuie. Given the potential impact of the Weld County Bright Futures grant program over the next couple of years the grow impact in Lochbuie will probably accelerate.

What should be done is that the towns, the school district and the citizens should start to meet and have discussions. Keenesburg and Hudson have not had any meaningful development for a long time. For some, this is exactly what they want, no growth. That is just not viable. Our senior citizens, many on a fixed income, worry about increased taxes.

Yet they feel strongly about receiving their medical and retirements benefits. Many at the meeting last night had a one sided view. That is not how problems get solved. Part of the problem is that the school board elections have not attracted candidates with broad support across the community.

They are elected by default because no one else runs. Not a good process. It is important to have school board representatives elected in the community that reflect the views of the community. Getting out in front of the public only when you are trying to get a bond or mill levy passed does not work!

This issue is not going away, one can only hope that people come to their senses, and recognize that our future, whether you want to admit it or not, depends a great deal on having well educated young people,. who get a good education either academically or vocationally, and hopefully good jobs to help pay for the benefits that have been promised to our seniors by our politicians but which have not been funded. You can thank the politician of both parties for that!
