Erie’s Brigg Street Café Is Home to Persian Cuisine and Resolve By Jan Sciacca
At
the north end of downtown Erie, snuggled downstairs in a quaint and comfortable setting, the Brigg Street Café. 698 Briggs St., at the corner of Briggs and Cheeseman, quietly celebrated its third anniversary in January. Restaurant and building owners Hooshang (“Joe” for short) and his wife Shahnaz (“Shin” for short) Haghbin are their only employees and they like it that way. They want to control the quality of their Persian entrees and pastries. Joe smiles as he says his wife Shin is a “good cook and beautiful too.” They love their customers and treat everyone like family. No one stays a stranger long.
Although Joe and Shin specialize in delicious Persian cuisine such as Kashke Badmjan (an Eggplant dish), the slow-cooked goodness of Haleem (a Middle East stew) and Chelow Kabab (a meat kabob that is the national dish of Iran), they have delicious American breakfasts, sandwiches and calzones for the more traditional American tastes. The restaurant is open daily except for Tuesdays, with hours being 7 am-3 pm. When I asked the Haghbins how they came to be restaurant owners, Joe and Shin sat and told me “the rest of the story” and what a story it is. The couple were married in 1976, when the Shah of Iran was in power. Joe prefers to say that he’s from Persia because Iran to him no longer represents the country where he was raised. Joe came to the United States on a scholarship as an exchange scientist under the J1 program and sponsored by the Iranian government. He received his doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of Colorado. Shin has her Masters in Economics from CU as well. During this time, they were in the U. S. on Student Visas. After they completed their degrees, the home country they knew was in trouble. The Iran/Iraq was raging. The Shah was no longer in power. Their eldest son was 14. If they went back to Iran, their son would not be allowed to leave the country once he was

15. The Haghbins were fearful to return and sought asylum in the United States. The couple said the process and all its regulations was very complicated in those days, although much simpler than today. They tediously worked through the asylum process, which took five years. Then they continued the journey of becoming permanent U. S. residents and, finally, U. S. citizens. The political climate took a toll on Joe’s career. In the early 1980s, no one wanted a nuclear engineer from Iran. Joe says that he and Shin have never been afraid of hard work and, to this day work about 70 hours a week, but those days were difficult. He worked at the Blue Parrot for $4.25 an hour for 9 years. Joe Colacci called him “Joe Jr.,” which is how he got his nickname. When the restaurant wanted him to sign a non-competition agreement in 1997, he left and found an empty lot on a dirt road in Erie where he decided to build a building to house a restaurant. That’s the location of the Briggs Street Café today. In 1998, they opened Lil’ Italy on the main floor. Through the years the building has housed a Chinese restaurant and an Italian-American Bar. When I asked the couple, who now has three grown children with successful

careers, how they managed to buy property and expand their real estate holdings while they were working at such low wages, Joe indicated that they had a home in Iran that they were able to sell and transfer the funds here. It’s an amazing story of endurance in fighting for the “American Dream.” No wonder everyone is treated like family at the Briggs Street Café. The Erie community, 7000 miles from their original home, is “home” today and their patrons are “family.” The Briggs Street Café can be reached on Facebook and at (303) 828-1459.

What’s On My Mind Kelly Martindale, Publisher
All About Choices “I don’t know about you but the older I get, the less emotional duress I can handle.”
In
the last two months my family has experienced two deaths. We’ve also had some very trying circumstances that cause us to wonder “what the heck is going on?” It’s times like these that we have a choice; focus on the foundation of what we know is true or continue to wonder what is going on and try to figure stuff out on our own. For me, the problem with trying to figure it out on my own usually ends with more chaos than less and much more stress. I don’t know about you but the older I get, the less emotional duress I can handle. What’s frustrating is that more often than not, the trials come right about the time you are just getting comfortable with “how nice” life is going. For me, I get to a point where I’m afraid of good times because it feels like, inevitably, something bad is about to happen. I’ve worked really hard to get away from that fear of something bad is about to happen. Especially after, not one but two of my children dying. I lived in constant fear that

something else would happen to one of my other two children. Living in that fear wore me out: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I was spent. I wanted to give up on everything, especially life. My life was too hard. While I didn’t end my life, I participated in activities that were very self destructive and eventually only made my life worse. And my behavior was like a grenade. When it exploded it didn’t just hurt me but it ended up blowing up those around me too; my spouse, my children and grandchildren and my friends. Eventually, I found my way back to the truth. I started making daily choices that were good for me and for those I loved. Those choices included, most importantly, to look to my maker and ask what He wanted me to do. I was challenged to decide what I REALLY believed in. What I found was much simpler than I’d been taught. And much more fulfilling and satisfying. What I found, or re-found,
was Jesus, my Lord, who has always loved me despite how awful I’d been (and will be). I was reminded that He promised me He would never leave me and once again, He proved that He had not left me. I turned my back on Him. But He did not leave me. God is incapable of breaking His promises to us. One of His promises is that He will protect me. So I wonder, why did my kids have to die? That hurt me, still hurts me and sometimes debilitates me. It’s a question God has yet to answer and probably won’t answer, this side of Heaven. But it’s also a question I’ve put aside, for now. I don’t need that answer to make it through today. All I need today, is knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is with me, in me and around me. I know that if I listen to Him, I will move in the direction that is best for me, today. I also know that if something bad happens today, I am not alone in my trial. He is with me. And He is with you too. Because the Bible says that God loves ALL people. Even if ALL people don’t love Him.

Germany Law Firm — World-class Law Firm Calls Erie Home By Jan Sciacca
S
usie Germany, founder of Germany Law Firm, was raised in the Erie area and is a 1988 graduate of Erie High School. After traveling the world, living in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Alaska and the state of Washington, attending 5 colleges and 2 law schools, she returned to her roots in Erie with her world-class law firm and small town heart. She chose Erie because of the high caliber of professionals the area is attracting and because of relationships . . . wanting to work with people she’d known all her life. Susie was raised on a farm east of town where her father also worked at Rocky Flats and her mother worked for the Denver Police Department. She married an Air Force Academy graduate and pilot. The following ten years were spent moving, as his deployments changed. Thus, Susie has experience at several colleges. When Susie and her former husband were stationed in Alaska, she was employed as a law clerk for judges for a year and practiced law the rest of the time. There she became acquainted with criminal defense, civil and estate law. Susie once had a job recruiting attorneys for a nationwide firm where she noticed that there weren’t many recruits who were young, who were women or who specialized in Elder Law. That resonated with her. Upon returning to Colorado, she took the Colorado bar exam in 2004 and started her own practice in Denver soon after in 2006. Eventually she had a Denver office, with satellite offices in Erie and Westminster. Being a small town woman at heart, she moved her primary office to Erie. Now satellite offices are in Denver, Westminster and Brighton. The firm has also been known to meet with clients in their homes or to travel to meet with their clients in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospitals. Being younger, being a woman and being passionate about protecting the elderly and those with disabilities, set the stage for her impeccable reputation in those matters. The Germany Law Firm, P.C., 685 Briggs St., Erie now consists of attorney Susie Germany, tax attorney, probate litigator and CPA Nathan Williams, two paralegal assistants and one legal assistants. The addition of Nathan to
Germany Law Firm (Left to Right): Nathan Williams, Rachel Wallace, Susie Germany, Sydney Wolak and Lisa Balmes the firm has been especially beneficial to Susie and the firm’s clients because of his background in business and accounting. Nathan has been practicing law since 2005 and is originally from the Chicago area. He used to vacation in Colorado and is thrilled that he’s living in the land where he used save his vacation memories on a disposable camera. He has the discerning eye needed to help clients make those important financial decisions. The two offer their clients a special collaboration and diversification. The Germany law firm embraces assisting clients with estate administration, advanced directives, guardianships/conservatorships, trusts, wills, Medicaid planning and other probate matters. They also assist with end-oflife decisions and ensuring someone of your choosing is appointed to care for you if you ever become incapacitated. Susie shares “approximately 1/3 of our clients are somehow affected by disability – theirs or family member’s or loved one’s disability.” Her passion is to help those families and be the voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. She smiled as she told me that over the years several of her clients have been in their 90s and in their 100s. Suzie loves her clients and says, “They’re the most amazing people! I find them superinspirational, with or without their disability.” Susie says it’s important to put a proactive plan in place. Too many times she sees no plan in place, the wrong person in place
Should I refinance my Mortgage? Submitted by Eddie Stephen
As
a mortgage professional for the last 20 years; I frequently get asked, “Is now is a good time to refinance my mortgage”? The answer is, YES! Here’s why now is a great time to refinance: • I nterest Rates are still incredibly low • H ouse values have increased 20-30% Per Year over the last 3 years • M ortgage lenders have loosened up on lending requirements
These 3 factors make now a great time to refinance. • • • •
S o what are the biggest reasons to refinance right now? G et rid of Mortgage insurance to lower your monthly payment R efinance to a shorter term & payoff your home quicker G et cash out to pay off debt or make home improvements
Right now, a lot of homeowners are refinancing to get rid of monthly Mortgage Insurance. Many people save hundreds monthly by getting rid of mortgage insurance. The rule for Mortgage insurance is your loan needs to be at 80% of the appraised value. New FHA loans will have Mortgage Insurance for the life of the loan but you may be able to refinance into a conventional loan and get rid of monthly Mortgage Insurance. You can also refinance to lower the term of your loan. For instance, if you currently have a 30 year mortgage, you can refinance into a 25, 20, 15, or 10 year mortgage. The lower your term on the loan, the less interest you will pay over the life of your loan. Interest rates are lower on shorter term loans. Many homeowners are refinancing to pay off debt. It’s smart to utilize your equity to payoff debt. Use the money you are saving to pay extra against your mortgage (paying it off sooner and saving you even more interest). Mortgage interest is still a tax deduction, meaning you will be paying a lot less interest than you will with credit cards or other high interest loans. Just to be clear, this does not mean pay off your debt so you can charge up your credit cards again! Refinance to get cash out for Home Improvements. Now is a great time to get cash out and make some much needed home improvements. Many homeowners put off repairs to their homes while the economy was slow. Now that everything is picking up again, it’s a great time to fix up your house and make improvements. This also helps to increase your house value. Some repairs are tax deductible at the end of the year (ask an accountant about which repairs have tax benefits). There are many good reasons to refinance. The best thing is call a local mortgage expert to help you look at your specific situation and see if refinancing is a good option. Eddie Stephen is a local Mortgage Professional who has been helping homeowners get great mortgages for the last 20 years. Feel free to call 720-217-2200 or email estephen@loansimple.com with any questions
or the wrong document in place. All can be costly to the family. She elaborates, “There is no such thing as a simple will.” Be wary of fill-in-the-blank forms. She continues, “Not everyone’s plans are the same so cost varies depending on the complexity. Estate plans are not one size fits all. One pays attorneys for their advice and counsel and not just for the paper they create.” She gives an example of the savings involved in being pro-active for an “average” couple. A well-drafted, thorough will for both could possibly be done for less than $1000 versus the later cost of guardianship/conservatorship, which would probably start at $3000, if they went to an attorney. She encourages families to settle disputes as quickly and prudently as possible,
reminding them that litigation is expensive. Active in the disability community, Susie assists many families who have a disabled child or family member to ensure that they have the proper estate planning in place. This planning may include the preparation of a will, living trust, power of attorney documents or a special needs trust. Her firm also assists families who are considering guardianship or conservatorship. These clients are families, single parents or domestic partners who seek the peace of mind that their loved ones are provided for in the event of their death or disability. In addition to owning a law firm and being a single, active mom, Susie finds time to teach and serve in the community. Susie loves teaching and has taught classes on Elder and Estate Law to the Colorado Bar Association and to the national organization. She has been co-chair of the Elder Law Section of the Colorado Bar Association, serves on the Board for the Colorado Fund for People with Disabilities, and has also been active with Front Range Hospice. Susie Germany is one busy lady. For fun she likes to cross country ski, show shoe and hike. The one thing about her that many of her Erie friends may not know is that she is a former search and rescue dog handler/ trainer. Yes, Susie is one high energy, high caliber professional that Erie can call its own. Germany Law Firm can be reached at 303.454.3711 or admin@coelderlaw.net.

Greetings from The Erie Economic Development Council Erie Residents and supporters! Chris Combs here, chair for the Erie Hello Economic Development Council (known in short as the EEDC). In case you have never heard of the EEDC or have the foggiest idea of what we do, it’s my pleasure to share with you. Our official mission statement: “Promote the Town of Erie’s central location to transportation and educational facilities, skilled workforce, quality residential options and affordable new development opportunities to primary employers.” Still confused? Wonder what makes us different then the Town or The Erie Chamber of Commerce? While we certainly partner very closely with both of these groups, what makes us different is we are a collection of local businesses dedicated to bringing new primary employers to Erie. What is primary employment? Primary employment is a company of any size where over 50% of their revenue comes from outside the town. For example, a high tech manufacturer builds specialized components and sells them to companies outside the town. This brings money in, which is spent by the company and its employees at local retail and service businesses. Primary employment is essential to the long term economic prosperity of a town. Without quality primary employers it is difficult to retain the highly educated workforce we are privileged to have (53% college educated) because at some point people grow tired of commuting to work and move closer to their employer. How does the EEDC bring them in? Local businesses invest money, volunteer time, and share access to their personal networks with the EEDC. The EEDC hosts events, funds a director of business development, and advertises in appropriate places to build awareness about Erie and everything we have to offer to a prospective company or their site selector. How can I support the EEDC? We are a growing organization always on the lookout for new investors and partners. Please feel free to give us a call at 720-541-7760 or check out our website – www.erieedc.com Do you own a business located outside Erie and would like to move it to town? Do you work for a company located outside Erie who is looking to move? Please let us know by calling or emailing info@erieedc.com Economic Development happens when community residents, business owners, government, and non-profit organizations work together to get out the word about just how great Erie is! Thank you and I look forward to bringing future insight about Erie and our growing economic prosperity! Best Regards, Chris Combs Erie Economic Development Chair

Longmont Pediatric Dentistry Specializes in Children and Adolescents By Jan Sciacca
Dr.
Tim Nichols, opened Longmont Pediatric Dentistry at 2055 Ken Pratt Blvd, Unit B, in southwest Longmont. He offers specialized, comprehensive dental care to children and adolescents, including children with special needs. The difference between a pediatric dentist and a general dentist is that a pediatric dentist receives additional training and education that enables them to better treat children. Dr. Nichols has also engaged a top-notch team to help him work with his patients and their parents. His front desk Administrator, Arlene, lives in Erie and has been working in the dental field for over 15 years. His dental assistant, Maricela, who grew up in and still lives in Longmont, has been a dental assistant for over 2 years. Dr. Nichols agrees with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry that recommends all children start seeing a dentist at age one! He says, “Children who see a dentist starting at a young age typically develop much fewer dental problems.” When asked what he likes most about his practice, Dr. Nichols said, “Being able to create a positive experience for a child who is nervous or has had a previous negative experience. I also love being able to educate both patients and parents on ways to help prevent cavities and seeing families make changes in their habits that help not only their oral health, but overall health.” Dr. Nichols and his wife Katy grew up in Arvada, CO and met in High School. They have 3 boys (James, Mac and Benny) and a dog (Jax). They love living in Colorado and have family in Erie and Fort Collins. The Nichols family loves to travel and one of Dr. Nichols favorite experiences was studying in Madrid when he was in college. He also enjoys skiing, spending time in the mountains, trying new restaurants and building Legos with his kids February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. Dr. Nichols is committed to sharing effective ways to maintain good oral health by brushing, flossing, rinsing, and eating healthy snacks. Longmont Pediatric Dentistry is in a network for most PPO dental insurance plans and also accepts CHP+ and Medicaid. Families can contact the office by phone or via its website to request appointments. Contact information is 303.776.1194, contactus@ longmontkidsdentist.com and longmontkidsdentist.com.

We join in thanking the Erie Board of Trustees for choosing common sense over a moratorium on fracking
Fred Mahe

DeAndrea Arndt
To be sure, things have not gone altogether smoothly with energy production in Erie. But the proposed moratorium on fracking would have caused serious injury to our community on top of inviting a costly and ultimately futile legal battle. Instead, we support the continued pursuit of tough, fair standards for energy development; the path Erie pioneered just three years ago. Keep the common sense coming.

The exception to this is when you host a party, but make sure the junk food leaves with your guest when the party ends. 3.) Exercise 5 days per week. Put the workouts on your calendar, they’re just as important as a doctor’s appointment. The five days
intense enough that it ‘s difficult for you to say a full sentence without taking a breath. 4.) Get enough sleep and Drink plenty of water. 8 Hours of sleep is the goal, but if you can increase your time to 6-7 hours to start, that will help in many areas of your life. This will help boost your immune system and assist in weight loss. Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water per day. You’ll need to increase this amount if you’re working out regularly. 5.)

Go Sober with Greg Hoffman By Peggy Blewett
It
is that time of year where everyone is thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions; making changes to better themselves. But it’s not just about losing unwanted pounds, deep cleaning the house or trying a new hobby. Many others want to stop drinking. That is where Go Sober can help you. Currently, there are about 3,000 people in Weld county seeking treatment for alcoholism. If Go Sober can touch just 10 percent of them they will be helping over 200 individuals repair damaged lives that were otherwise lost forever. That’s good for them, their families; and our community. Greg Hoffman started Go Sober in March of 2014, but he has been improving the model for the last four and a half years. Go Sober helps people stop drinking but more importantly ensure they remain sober. Go Sober is not a rehab nor is it based on AA or 12-step concepts. It’s real medical treatment addressing the underlying neurophysical mechanism that makes it difficult for people to remain sober. They use medications that stop anxiety and irritability caused by persistent thoughts of drinking. Then through lifestyle changes they get them
feeling great naturally so there’s no looking back. By treating the problem and not just the symptoms they make it easier for people to quit and be done once and for all so they can start enjoying life, family and friends. Go Sober stays current with up to date research and published studies about helpful new medications and treatment techniques. Their treatment model represents the latest understanding of neuroscience, behavioral science and pharmacology in the treatment of alcohol addiction. Go Sobers success depends on the expertise of their trained and certified, local professionals in medicine, nutrition, counselling, lifestyle coaching, stress management and movement therapy. Each professional is part of a coordinated team of service providers whose only goal is the long term health and wellbeing of our clients. Each team member is a dedicated individual who has first-hand knowledge of alcohol addiction and successful experience treating it. Greg himself, knows the battle so many of us face with alcohol addiction. He watched his Dad, who was a successful medical doctor drink his life away and at the very young age of 70 pass away from liver failure. Greg

saw himself headed down that same road. He wanted to understand why he couldn’t just quit and why it was so hard for him to go even a couple of days without alcohol. What he found out was really surprising because addiction researchers know what the problem is but most “treatments” ignore that information. Greg wants to change that and that is where Go Sober can help you out. Go Sober understands that alcoholism isn’t a character defect or lack of willpower. There’s no reason for people to beat themselves up because they can’t stay sober on their own. There’s also no reason not to get treatment just because something they tried before didn’t work. Almost all “treatments” fall into one of two categories: they either control the environment or they talk about changes. And, while neither is particularly harmful, neither addresses the underlying problem. According to www.gosober.org, “years of alcohol abuse changes the normal function of specific neuroreceptors in the brain. These receptors called GABA-A receptors are responsible for initiating a sequence of chemical events that result in the
production of dopamine. Dopamine helps us feel calm, relaxed and content. Drugs and alcohol produce abnormally large spikes in dopamine. The brain recognizes this and over time attempts to regulate its production to a more normal level by desensitizing the GABA receptors. When a person stops drinking, the desensitized GABA receptors are unable to initiate production of sufficient dopamine so the individual experiences anxiety and stress. This is what sets up the failure mechanism, a persistent anxiety that’s difficult to ignore even with the stoutest resolution.” If you are looking to get help call Go Sober at (303) 827-4837 or log on to wwwgosoberorg. If you mention you saw this article in the Erie Consumer Report and decide to get treatment or refer someone who ultimately gets treatment from them, they will give you 20% off their normal fees. That means you/they get sober and get on with their lives for less than the cost of a DUI and less than what would probably be spent on alcohol in a year. So don’t keep struggling on your own, seek help at Go Sober.
Greg is available by email at GregH@gosober.org and the office is located at 500 Coffman Street, Suite 101 in Longmont. Hours are Monday–Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or by appointment.
