“Nothing is so beautiful as spring – when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrust through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing,” – Gerard Manley Hopkins, English poet

581 Hwy 105, Monument CO

I

t’s that time of year again, when we anxiously await the warmer weather that we see glimpses of occasionally throughout the day. New blades of grass peek through the brown blanket covering our yards. Flowers start blooming, a physical reminder of our hopes that another freeze isn’t on its way. The Easter holiday prompts retailers across the country to begin stocking droves of egg paraphernalia. Stuffed animals clutching soft, pastel eggs; egg-shaped candies; egg-shaped candles; and egg-dying kits crowd the grocery store shelves. And of course, Snippetz just had to find out: what’s the deal with the egg?

THE 100-YEAR OLD EGG

Chickens and eggs have been around much longer than recorded history. East Indian history dates the domestication of wild fowl to as early as 3200 B.C. Records from Egypt and China indicate that man has been collected eggs laid by these domesticated fowl since 1400 B.C. Although some evidence points to the existence of fowl in America prior to Columbus’ arrival, it’s generally believed that, on his second trip in 1493, his ships carried the ancestors of our modern egglaying chickens.

In today’s “fresh is best” mentality when it comes to buying food, the idea of an egg that has been aged for several weeks, months or even years might be somewhat off-putting. But the century egg or 100year old egg, while not actually aged for that long, is a delicacy in several cultures like the Chinese culture. Here’s how the preservation process works: the eggs is coated in a mixture of clay, wood ash, salt, lime and rice straw. That’s it. Not much to it. But the result is a dark greenish grey yolk that has become creamy and smells strongly of sulfur and ammonia. The white of the egg becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly. Some have likened the process to a type of fermentation.

WHAT A GOOD EGG! In most cultures around the globe, chicken eggs feature in some way. The most common type of chicken egg that humans consume is from the Gallus domesticas.

There are almost 200 breeds and varieties of chickens worldwide but the most common type used for egg production in the United States is the Single-Comb White Leghorn.

churches. The eggs are dyed red to symbolize the blood of Jesus Christ that he shed while on the cross. For Christians, the egg itself symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ, with the hard shell of the egg representing the sealed tomb in which he was placed when he was taken down from the cross. Cracking the shell represents his resurrection from the dead. In modern times, Christians have taken up the custom of dyeing eggs.

Painted eggs are a part of the Persian New Year, called Norouz that occurs before the spring equinox. Each family member decorates a hard-boiled egg and then places it in a large bowl with the rest of the family’s decorated eggs.

Since the 16th century, many cities in Spain have celebrated the feast of Corpus Christi, traditionally observed 60 days after Easter Sunday. On this day, they celebrate the tradition of the dancing egg, which consists of emptying an egg and positioning it over a water jet from a fountain. The egg will remain atop the jet and spin but won’t fall.

EGG-DYEING AND OTHER EGG-RELATED TRADITIONS While most people associate egg-dyeing with Easter, the tradition can be traced back further than the advent of Christianity. In cultures all over the world, the egg symbolizes new life, fertility and rebirth.

Iranians have used dyed eggs as a way to celebrate their New Year, which falls on the spring equinox.

WORLD EGG DAY Did you know that there is a World Egg Day? Well, if you didn’t, you do know.

It’s celebrated on the second Friday in October. The first World Egg Day was celebrated in 1996 and countries all over the world celebrate the day in different

EGG SNIPPETZ • Most eggs are laid between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m.

• Hens require about 24 to 26 hours to produce a single egg. The average hen will produce 250 to 300 eggs each year.

Egg-dyeing is a tradition deeply rooted in the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic

• If you don’t know if an egg is hard-boiled or raw, spin it. If it spins easily without a lot of wobbling, it’s hardboiled. If it wobbles and doesn’t spin smoothly, it’s raw. Or just break it open to find out . . . but that method can end in a mess.

• Howard Hemler is considered the Omelet King. He holds three Guinness World records for omelet making: fastest omelet maker (427 omelets in 30 minutes); fastest single omelet made (42 seconds from whole egg to omelet); and omelet flipping (30 flips in 34 second).

• Eggs can have two yolks. Or they can have no yolk at all. Typically this occurs when the hen is young and her egg production cycle hasn’t fully regulated itself.

• Meringue is a type of is a type of dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar, and sometimes other ingredients like cream of tartar or vinegar to add a bit of acidity. The name comes from a pastry chef named Gasparini from the Swiss town of Merhrinyghen who, in 1720 created a small pastry from dried egg foam and sugar.

• It’s rumored that Marie Antoinette enjoyed meringue so much that she even prepared the dessert herself.

• Have you ever tried to cook an egg in the microwave? You can, just not in the shell. If you don’t break it open, the steam builds up so rapidly that the egg can’t get rid of the gas quickly enough and the egg will likely explode . . . so DON’T do that.

• Each eggshell contains somewhere between seven to 17 thousand pores, with more pores concentrated at the larger end of the egg. Because these tiny holes permit air to move in and out of the egg itself, it’s wise to refrigerate eggs in their cartons to keep them from absorbing the odors from other foods in your fridge.

• The color of an egg’s yolk depends on the plant pigments in the hens’ diet.

• The U.S. produces about 75 billion eggs per year, representing about 10 percent of the total supply globally.

• When attempting to make something like a meringue that calls for whipped egg whites, don’t let the whites come into contact with even the smallest trace of fat, grease or egg yolk. If they do, they won’t whip. Also, egg whites that are room temperature will whip faster and more easily than chilled ones.

grasses like buffalograss or blue grama grow better in the summer. This being said warm-season grasses can be successfully planted between April and July and like any seed will need consistent moisture to germinate. Because warm season grasses tend to go dormant in cooler weather they are not generally recommended for higher altitudes by themselves, but because of their tolerance to heat and drought many homeowners choose to plant a mixture of both cool and warm season grasses to green-up natural and non-irrigated areas.

LAWN REHAB WITH GRASS SEED

I

f your lawn has been looking less than ideal, the best time to perform lawn rehab is either in the spring or fall when we can take full advantage of any moisture we might receive coupled with the cooler temperatures. Planting grass seed is an easy way to bring your lawn back from the dead and a great way to treat bare spots around your lawn. Many of us will have lawn rehab on our to-do lists this year and if Mother Nature feels like lending a hand with watering than we should all welcome it, even beg for it!

Cool season grasses like fescue, ryegrass or bluegrass can be seeded anywhere from March through September and with any luck this spring will be moisture rich. These grasses grow better in the cooler weather of both spring and fall while warm season

Occasional rehab may be needed because of prolonged drought, pests, wildlife damage, increased shade or just plain neglect.

Unfortunately, I’m guilty of the last one.

Lawn maintenance has not been on my top priority list! Good thing it’s a fairly easy fix.

Start by either aerating or at least giving the area a very good raking, removing thatch and dead grass and bringing the soil to the surface. After applying the seed using a spreader, you might want to consider using pelletized straw mulch to help keep in the moisture and avoid losing seed to our heavy winds. You can also apply a starter fertilizer which is usually high in both nitrogen and phosphorus. For the first three to four weeks you will need to keep the seed moist until the grass is well established.

LONELINESS: THE CONSTANT HEARTACHE

HOW TO ENTER THE FRIENDSHIP ZONE AND HAVE ALL THE FRIENDS YOU WANT AND NEED

By Dr. Ron Ross

L

oneliness ends when friendship begins, right? So, how do you go from all alone to all the friends you want and need? The solution, though not quick and easy, begins with you, within your own heart and mind. Here are five steps you must take to enter the friendship zone and create and maintain as many real friendships as you desire: Step 1: Show up. You form relationships most frequently from the people you see most frequently. That means if you want to find a friend you must get out of your shell and show up someplace where people you might like to meet can be found. Get active in a cause you support, go to church, volunteer, or search for clubs or other organizations that interest you. When we moved from San Diego to Colorado we moved to a town where we knew almost no one. When the political season started I went to a caucus meeting and met some of our neighbors. Now we have new friends with common interests because I showed up.

Step 2: Speak up. It is easy to interact with people who like the same things you like. When I went to the political caucus meeting, I was confident I would meet people who agreed with my political ideas.

In the process I got to know a couple with whom I shared much more than a common political position. We asked questions, listened politely, shared personal histories, and were drawn together by what we saw and heard. We spoke up!

Step 3: Open up. You move from being buddies into the friendship zone as selfdisclosure increases. A few weeks later

our political friends dropped by for tea on the patio and our friendship deepened. In the comfort and privacy of our patio, we shared even more of our personal lives. We opened up.

This important step into the friendship zone is usually gradual and must be reciprocal.

Here is how it works: one friend takes a risk and reveals something personal followed by the self-disclosure of the friend-to-be. If the reciprocity continues, the entrance into the friendship zone advances. Experience will teach you when to step into the friendship zone and when to hold back. You can be quite certain the friendship zone is open wide when someone says, “Can I talk to you for a minute?” It is an invitation to intimacy (familiarity or closeness). As time passes, the act of self-disclosure and reciprocity become the glue that binds a friendship.

Step 4: Listen up. Good friends know when to talk and when to listen. People who make every conversation about themselves do not stay long in anyone’s friendship zone. Those who know how to listen with skill and empathy have many long-term and meaningful friendships. Good friends listen to each other and by doing so provide emotional support and unconditional acceptance.

Step 5: Shut up. Good friends tell us the truth about us, but those who have too many opinions about our mate, golf game, wardrobe, religious convictions, etc., become tiresome and eventually unwelcome in our friendship zone.

Another aspect of the “shut up” principle is confidentiality. Someone who broadcasts to others titillating tidbits of confidential conversations, is not a friend but a gossip.

To enter the friendship zone, take these five steps and will have the exact number of real friends you want and need.

SEEKING APPROVAL

creates pain or joy. So, a person could make a choice that “looks good to others”, but creates self-in�licted pain for the person making the choice.

S

eeking approval and becoming invested in what other people think are concepts that are very common. Many assume it is important to seek approval and to have an investment in other people’s opinions, but is it really important?

Seeking approval means placing power outside of yourself for the very purpose of being validated. That validation can be in your appearance, career, associations, physical activity (sports), �inances, education, religion, or other area in life. Seeking approval is the act of hindering self-respect and self-empowerment while you’re waiting for someone else’s approval, even if that ‘someone else’ is deceased.

When people carry a belief that they need to gain approval before moving forward in life or a particular area in life that belief does not simply end because someone has passed on. The belief remains until it’s examined. How was the belief formed? How does it function in the mind? How does it create painful choices, choices that lead to self-disempowerment, self-doubt, and fear?

Additional columns on this subject are available on: www.RonRossToday.com Do you have a tale of loneliness or other comments on this column? Share them with Dr. Ross by sending him an email: Dr.Ross@RonRossToday.com. ©2014 Dr. Ronald D. Ross All Rights Reserved

A person who carries a strong approval belief will also carry a strong investment in what other people think. The person ends up making choices from the standpoint “will this look like a good choice or a bad choice?” A choice is neither good or bad, a choice simply

For example, perhaps a high school senior wants to attend a particular college for a program it offers. Perhaps the parent or parents want the adolescent to attend a different college.

If the adolescent is seeking approval, he or she might choose the college the parents want and lose the opportunity to enroll in the program of his or her choice. Depending on the intent and depending on the adolescent’s life pathway, that choice can create pain.

It is the adolescent’s responsibility to determine a life pathway.

Seeking external approval many times leads to suppressed passion, creativity, and self-respect. Having a lot of passion for life and living in general is natural, but it’s not ‘normal’.

If a person has realized seeking approval has occurred, the Tai Yi treatment, I Want To Be You Syndrome would bene�it. This treatment works to assist a person in understanding why he or she has been seeking approval. It also can assist in increasing the person’s energy level and the person’s passion and creativity for life.

The person receiving this treatment can expect to feel a release of the approval energy and an increase in creative energy.

EXERCISE CAN CAUSE ASTHMA ATTACK DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a 13year-old boy who’s having asthma attacks.

At least, that’s what they sound like to me.

It started early this year when the weather was still cold. He plays or practices baseball three times a week. When he’d run the bases, he’d start coughing and wheezing.

Now that the weather is warmer, he still has attacks, but not so bad. Does this sound like asthma to you? I don’t know that he’s allergic to anything. -- W.O. ANSWER: Asthma is an inflammation of the airways, the bronchi. They become very sensitive, and suddenly narrow and fill with mucus when provoked. Both the constriction and the mucus make it difficult to get air into and out of the lungs. Included in the definition of asthma is reversibility.

The constriction and mucus buildup are not permanent, in most cases.

The signs of asthma are a feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. In your son’s kind of asthma, exercise-induced asthma, the attack comes on five to 10 minutes after beginning an activity. Exercise-induced asthma is not so dependent on allergy triggers. It comes on because cold, dry air irritates the airways.

The warmer, moister air is perhaps the reason why his attacks are not as pronounced as they were.

You need to have a doctor examine the boy to be sure if this is exercise-induced asthma. Even if he has no symptoms at the time of his doctor visit, the doctor can induce them in a number of ways. He or she also can put an end to them.

If exercise-induced asthma is proven, a multitude of medicines are available for control. Most can be taken as mouth sprays.

Taking the medicine before physical activity can prevent asthma symptoms for two or three hours. That’s long enough to get him through a practice or a game.

The above is for exercise-induced asthma.

It’s not for other asthma varieties.

Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What’s the lowest number of calories a woman can safely eat in a day to lose weight? I would like to lose 20 pounds. How long will that take?

-- G.K. ANSWER: An active woman needs around 1,800 calories a day. If she gets much less than that, she’ll have a hard time meeting her vitamin and mineral requirements.

If she deducts 500 calories from her daily diet, she should lose a pound in a week -20 pounds in 20 weeks.

If she actively exercises, she needs to lower her daily intake by only 300 calories to get the same results. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You printed two letters on headaches. I don’t see you mention the medicine that works for me -- Excedrin. It takes only half a pill to end my headaches. My grown son has tried it, but he didn’t get good results. Just wanted you to know how well it works for me. -- J.R.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic fails to divert its course from an iceberg, ruptures its hull and begins to sink. The Titanic was divided into 16 compartments that were presumed to be watertight. Because four of these compartments could be flooded without loss of buoyancy, the Titanic was considered unsinkable. • On April 20, 1923, Tito Puente, the bandleader and percussionist who helped popularize Latin dance music in America, is born in New York City. During a career that spanned six decades, “El Reyâ€? (The King), recorded more than 100 albums and won five Grammy Awards. • On April 16, 1947, multimillionaire and financier Bernard Baruch first coins the term “Cold Warâ€? to describe relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, a war without fighting or bloodshed, but a battle nonetheless. • On April 15, 1959, Fidel Castro visits the United States. The trip got off to an inauspicious start when it became clear

that President Dwight Eisenhower had no intention of meeting with Castro. Instead, Eisenhower went to the golf course to avoid any chance meeting. • On April 17, 1960, Eddie Cochran, the musician behind “Summertime Bluesâ€? and other rockabilly hits, is killed when the taxi carrying him from a show in Bristol, England, crashes en route to the airport in London, where he was to catch a flight home to the U.S. He was 21. • On April 19, 1971, as a prelude to a massive antiwar protest that would include 200,000 demonstrators, Vietnam Veterans Against the War begin a five-day demonstration in Washington, D.C. The generally peaceful protest ended on April 23 with about 1,000 veterans throwing their combat ribbons, helmets and uniforms on the Capitol steps, along with toy weapons. • On April 18, 1989, thousands of Chinese students continue to take to the streets in Beijing to protest government policies. The protests grew until the Chinese government ruthlessly suppressed them in June, killing thousands, during what came to be known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

The Lively Sensor gets the signals in a central hub in your house (you don’t need Internet). Your loved ones can use a cellphone or computer to check the “log” of your activities.

NEW HOME MONITOR LEARNS YOUR HABITS

Yes, the Lively Sensor is a monitor, and no, none of us want to be watched. But the alternative -- being forced to move into a retirement building -- isn’t our first choice. And you do have control over where the monitors are attached.

If you’re not on the Internet and don’t always get the latest photos of your grandkids, there’s the LivelyGram, mailed to your house twice a month with pictures and messages from your family, as part of the Lively setup.

For an initial $150 and then $20 a month, seniors and those who care about them can have peace of mind with a gadget called the Lively Sensor.

If you’d like to learn more, go online to www.mylively.com (check at the library if you don’t have a computer), or call 1-888-757-0711 to ask for a brochure to be mailed to you

Whether it’s post surgical recovery, disability, or illness, our Personal Care Coordinators and professional staff are here for you around the clock to meet your home care needs.

Financial Aid for America’s Veterans

The Lively Sensor is ... amazing.

Here’s how it works: Small monitors (six of them, the size of a quarter) are attached to various items in the home -- the pill container, refrigerator door, TV remote, keychain, front door -- that you touch or move on a daily basis. The idea is to attach the monitors to things that are sure to be a clue that all is not well if the monitors aren’t moved. The sensors get to know your habits.

I

’m going to be upfront and say that I’ve never driven what one would call a “new car”. Most of the vehicles I’ve owned were purchased from the previous owner and born sometime in the 1990’s. I’m not complaining. I’ve rather enjoyed my vehicle history. Sure, they’ve been rough around the edges, but most of my automobiles have had good durability (I’m going to go ahead and plug Subaru here, if that’s okay).

The one thing I have missed out on lately has been the vast improvement in autotechnology. I remember several years ago, when I was still in High School, one of my friend’s Fathers purchased a new

Lexus. It was amazing. Of course the vehicle isn’t all that new and spectacular now; it’s probably six, seven years old.

One of the most memorable aspects of the then-new vehicle was that it had one of those cameras inside that allowed the driver to see behind them. It was as if it made mirrors obsolete.

Long-Term Care Insurance is a valuable tool to protect your family’s assets. If your loved one has purchased a policy, the next step is to understand and strategize how to best utilize the policy.

The Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension provides wartime veterans and their surviving spouses with tax-free financial aid for senior care needs.

And that’s what brings us to today’s topic. In a somewhat recent event, the federal government is requiring all auto makers to install backup camera systems on every new vehicle starting in 2018. In a response, auto makers are petitioning NHTSA in hopes to replace traditional rearview and side mirrors with camera systems. As most of you know, currently three mirrors are mandatory with specific magnification requirements on new vehicles. This has long been the standard.

But now auto makers are making a good argument that they’re unnecessary.

camera system to see behind the car. It’s a futuristic product by Volkswagen - the XL1. The sleek car is a posh $145,000 making it virtually unavailable to the general public. If that weren’t inaccessible enough, there are only 250 models scheduled to be built and it is currently illegal to drive in the United Sates. What I’m saying is basically that there is no camera-exclusive motor vehicle that we can test to accurately gage what this new no-mirror concept would drive like.

The case is being made that vehicles with no mirrors will be more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, and safe. By replacing the large mirror cases on the outside of vehicles with tiny cameras, car buyers will receive a more proficient product.

I think the automakers have a good point.

My only issue lies with the cost. While back up cameras only cost about $150 per car, how often would they need to be maintained or replaced? What if automakers installed cheap camera systems to force the consumer to constantly repair and replace them? It certainly raises some eyebrows. It can also lead to a dan-

The only problem is that we have nothing to compare this model to. In fact, there is only one vehicle that exclusively uses a

8

gerous situation if people’s camera systems unexpectedly go out on them in the middle of driving.

There are obviously some big questions to be answered in this seemingly small change. However, if given until 2018 to fully develop the idea and force the change, I think I’m on board. It would be nice to someday buy and affordable vehicle with a full-fledges camera system installed. No longer will the video mirrors be for luxury vehicles alone! Maybe, thirty years down the road, we can all feel like technological royalty while taking a Sunday drive.

LAMB - A UNIVERSAL SYMBOL OF SPRING

L

amb is a symbol of spring, and also has been an important religious symbol for both Jews and Christians. Lamb often is served during the Easter holiday and during some Jewish Passover Seder meals. The Jewish Passover is an historical festival, commemorating the exodus of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt.

The origin of Passover, or Pesach, goes back more than 3,000 years as told in the Book of Exodus. God commanded Moses and the Jews to eat slaughtered and roasted paschal lamb with bitter herbs and matzah to symbolize the Passover sacrifice. God also instructed them to spread the blood of the paschal lamb on the doorposts and lintel above the door of the houses in which they will eat the paschal lamb. This act was God’s sign to “pass over� the Jews’ homes during the 10th plague, which killed the firstborn sons of the Egyptians as a punishment for enslaving the Jews.

Passover also celebrates spring and the new growth and harvest season, particularly the earliest barley and cereal harvest. Serving lamb is a central part of both Easter and Passover.

Lamb is the oldest domesticated meat species. In many countries, lamb is the major source of meat. Many Americans think of lamb as a springtime food, but it can be enjoyed year round. According to the USDA, each American eats almost a pound of lamb yearly. Lamb is meat from sheep less than a year old, making it especially tender.

Most are brought to market at about 6 to 8 months old. If the phrase “Spring Lamb� is on a meat label, it means the lamb was slaughtered between March and October.

When selecting lamb, look for good marbling (white flecks of fat within the meat muscle), and meat that is fine-textured and firm. The meat should be pink and the fat should be firm, white and not too thick. The USDA quality grades are reliable guides. Chops can come from various primal cuts. “Loin� chops and “rib� chops are very tender. Less expensive “blade� and “arm� chops (from the shoulder) and “sirloin� chops (from the leg) can be just as tender, but they are not as visually attractive because the meat is separated by bands of connective tissue.

This recipe for Spiced Lamb Shanks is a flavorful but simple way to prepare lamb in the slow cooker, and is the perfect dish for your holiday celebration.

SPICED LAMB SHANKS Lamb shanks are one of the most flavorful cuts of lamb. It has fat on the exterior that

easily can be removed, and doesn’t have fat that marbles throughout the meat, like most cuts of beef. Lamb also is high in B vitamins, zinc and absorbable iron.

THE LAW ACCORDING TO STEVENS

by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

MEDICAL VS. RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA: DO MEDICAL USERS HAVE MORE RIGHTS? © March, 2014 by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

I

n my previous article, I discussed recreational use of marijuana, and the ability of property owners and others to restrict such use in certain situations. Recreational use has been legal in Colorado for only a few months, but it is clear from the amendment to the Colorado Constitution that certain restrictions on such use are permissible. Given that medical users of marijuana are consuming it for treatment of medical conditions, one may wonder if third parties are more limited in what restrictions they can place on such consumption on their properties, in their businesses, etc. Based upon a plain reading of the language of the constitutional amendment legalizing medical use of marijuana, the answer appears to be that they may be.

As I cited in my previous article, the constitutional amendment legalizing recreational use of marijuana specifically provided that any “person, employer, school, hospital, detention facility, corporation

or any other entity who occupies, owns or controls a property from prohibiting or otherwise regulating the possession, consumption, use, display, transfer, distribution, sale, transportation, or growing of marijuana on or in that property.”

Colo. Const. art. XVIII, §16(6)(d). Thus, such persons could include lease restrictions, or rules or regulations, prohibiting anyone from any recreational marijuana related activities on their property.

However, it was a different constitutional amendment that legalized medical use of marijuana in Colorado. That amendment did NOT include any such specific provision regarding owners, managers, or “controllers” of property. See, Colo.

Const. art. XVIII, §14. It appears from the face of the amendment that if a person has a medical marijuana license third parties cannot simply contractually or by other agreement automatically or preemptively restrict his or her possession, use, consumption, etc. of marijuana on their property.

The only applicable restriction set forth in the amendment is that “[n]o patient shall: (I) [e]ngage in the medical use of marijuana in a way that endangers the health or well-being of any person; or (II) [e]ngage in the medical use of marijuana in plain view of, or in a place open to, the general public.” Colo. Const. art.

XVIII, §14(5)(a).

Therefore, if one’s property is open to the public – used as a store, restaurant, or office, for example –one can prohibit even medical use of marijuana on the property. If one’s property is a multi-family residential property, and a person’s use

or consumption of medical marijuana endangers the health or well-being of a particular third person on the property – such as with second-hand smoke causing or exacerbating a medical condition – one could possibly then prohibit even medical use on the property.

Unlike the constitutional amendment permitting recreational use of marijuana, the amendment permitting medical use of marijuana has been in effect long enough that there is some case law interpreting its provisions. For example, the Colorado courts have ruled that employers may terminate employees who test positive for marijuana use, even where such use was permissible medical use under Colorado law. Beinor v. Indus. Claim Appeals Office, 262 P.3d 970 (Colo.App. 2011). And, in such cases, the terminated employee may be denied unemployment compensation benefits. Id. The Colorado

1864 Woodmoor Dr., Ste. 215 Monument, CO 80132

Court of Appeals ruled that the constitutional amendment protected such persons from criminal prosecution for medical use only; it did not give them a right against termination from employment for such use. It is not clear if this reasoning would be carried over to lessor/lessee relationships; for example, permitting lessors to evict tenants using medical marijuana.

INVESTING FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

Reasons to keep Amazon Prime:

AMAZON PRIME SAVINGS WILL NOW COST MORE

I

f you’ve been saving money as an Amazon Prime member, you likely received an email that started like this: “We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on ... .” (Renewals before April 17, 2014, will be at the old $79 rate.) If your annual membership doesn’t expire immediately, you have time to consider what you want to do next.

• Free two-day shipping on most purchases can be worth the membership cost if you order enough during the year. Whether you order a lightweight four-pack of Cheerios or a hefty treadmill, the postage is still the same: zero. (For the treadmill above, the non-Prime shipping cost would be $49.95.)

• Amazon can be handy. If you have physical limitations or live in a place with few stores to shop at, or you’re in a perpetual time crunch, it can be a lifeline to know that merchandise (including food) can be delivered to your door in two days.

• If you’re not a big fan of movies or television shows, and don’t really care if they’re the very latest, Amazon has a fairly decent selection of 40,000 shows you can watch for free.
