Family genealogy in Fort Lupton finds its place back in Minnesota
Timothy Johnson, who lives in Shakopee, Minnesota, regularly searched online for branches of his Paulson family tree. He never guessed he’d find three whole books about them in Fort Lupton, of all places.“Iwas searching online, and an article came up. I think it was the Commerce City Sentinel Express. The article did not have pictures but the description matched the Paulson family tree, I immediately called the librarian, “Johnson said.
“The Paulson family tree books were distributed within the Paulson family. So we have numerous books out there with our family,” Johnson said.“Ithink the Paulson family had a big reunion every 10 or 15 years, and they would all bring their family albums, and they tried to update them. It’s all paper, it must have been a monumental chore to put this together.”Johnson said that genealogy books
The story starts when Cindy Lyons, a librarian with Fort Lupton Public School and Library, found three three-inch ring binders of the Paulson, Miller genealogy in the library storage room.
Brighton-based School District 27J will ask voters to approve a mill levy override on November’s ballot.Members of the district’s Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 6 to forward the funding request to voters.
It was a November 2021 story about how librarians at the Fort Lupton Public Library had some very specific genealogical books among a pile of donations. Librarians had found the books and hoped to find the family whose past they detailed.Johnson said he was interested in genealogy and started his Paulson genealogy family tree project just when COVID began in 2020, just as something to do. But he’d never found a bounty of information like this“Whenbefore.Igot the books it knocked me off my chair seeing those old original photos, and I’ve seen some of them and some I had not seen before that are still surviving,” Johnson said.
Johnson said all three albums are very valuable. He is from the Paulson side of the family; his grandmother was Paulson and Johnson is from his dad’s side. He thinks one of the relatives from California must have put the books together.

This will be the eighth time since 2000 that the board has asked for local support for schools at the ballot box. However, in those eight attempts, voters have yet to approve mill levy overrides for things like staffing, educational programs, teacher compensation, and instructional needs.
27J Schools is third from last in per-student funding statewide and it is the lowest funded district in the Denver metro area. 27J last passed a mill levy override in 2000 for $750,000 which today equates to $41 per student.

A recent performance at the Estes Park Scotfest featured Scottish and Irish pieces, while the Pirate Festival will also showcase more Mediterranean and Arabic sounds. And Jeffers said he’ll try to look the part. At Northglenn’s Pirate Festival, Jeffers will, naturally, be dressed as a Pirate.

While the violin remains the star of his show, Jeffers also enjoys playing the Arabic Oud, the Moroccan Loutr or the Indian wooden flute as these instruments add dramatic flare and exotic sounds to his performances.Jeffers considers himself a musical chameleon.“Thegenre of world music is vast, so I’m not one to sound the same every time,” Jeffers said.

“It was a calling,”, he said. The songs shaped themselves as he worked on them. His band started as an acoustic band but evolved into a blend of both acoustic and hard rock sounds.Jeffers wanted to blend the varied sounds of music from around the world into his compositions, so he traveled extensively. He has visited Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, Romania, Scotland, and Ireland.
Soon, the sounds of Alice Cooper and Deep Purple resonated in his mind. At 16, he began performing at cafes and other small venues.

“Then my sister discovered rock,” Jeffers says with a laugh.
Jeffers’ music is an eclectic style, molded both by his upbringing and his travels abroad. Born and raised in Boulder, Jeffers was influenced by the music of his parent’s choosing. The sounds of Simon and Garfunkel, Gordon Lightfoot and other American folk music filled their house. His mom, originally from Lebanon, was also a belly dancer and danced to traditional Lebanese music.
“I was just exploring, performing, sitting down with musicians,” Jeffers said. “Traveling influenced the music, as well as the culture, the food, and the mannerism of people.”
He plans to utilize a double-octave pedal on his violin. This pedal allows him to play multiple notes simultaneously, which gives the single instrument the sound of a full orchestra. “You’re hearing the cello and a bass at the same time as the violin,” he says. “It’s very pirate-y! It’s a oneman, world-fusion, Viking metal orchestra!”Jeffersand his band desire to entertain all who attend their shows

Tri-County became a magnet for attention during the earlier stages of the coronavirus pandemic as it issued mask mandates for schools and the general public. But local public health agencies also perform other functions, mostly out of the public eye.For example, the Adams County Health Department will provide a range of clinical services at a discount or no cost to residents, including immunizations, chronic disease prevention, enrollment that provides free food to women and their children who may not be able to afford groceries, increased testing availability for monkeypox in the coming months, and sexual health, family planning, and STI treatment and testing, according to the news release.

The makeup of the Adams and Arapahoe single-county health departments appears set to feature more former leaders from Tri-County than the Douglas health department
“To date we have hired two people from Tri-County. Expect probably about 10 more,” a statement from Douglas County said in late July.
The Douglas County Health Department has floated a possible staff organizational chart consisting of about 35 full-time employees and two contractors, according to an April 19 work session with county commissioners, the county’s elected leaders.

While Tri-County’s breakup began with Douglas County’s exit, Adams County’s elected leaders have shown some enthusiasm in leaving — though that’s not due to an opposition to masking earlier in the pandemic.Bacahas called the transition a “once-in-a-lifetime” chance and a door to better fulfilling the unique needs of Adams County residents.
The Adams County Health Department, meanwhile, plans to hire a total of about 170 employees, though that number could change, according to Lynn Baca, an Adams County commissioner.
Forty-one percent of people in Adams County identify as Hispanic or Latino and 46% identify as White alone, Colorado Community Media reported in 2021. According to the Washington Post, Adams County is one of 65 counties in the U.S. that became majority minority in the past decade. “Majority minority” means the majority of residents are people of color.

It’s been a rough year, but the twins are fine. Now, a little older than nine months, they’re thriving.
Tough battle for ‘family of four’
in for a more powerful scan at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver to determine their babies’ genders at 20 weeks before they learned about the amniotic sac.
COURTESY OF THE RIEDERS
Placental twins shared more than their parents love
It was no surprise for husband Bryan, an identical twin himself. But the news darkened a bit at 20 weeks when they discovered their twins shared more than most twins. Both were growing in the same placenta and sharing the same blood supply, a potentially dangerous condition called “Mo/di” for Monochorionic diamniotic pregnancy.
They were referred to Children’s Hospital Colorado and followed up with them the next day. That brought them to Dr. Henry Galan, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and fetal surgeon for about 27 years.
Riley was born growth-restricted, weighing three pounds and three ounces but was only in the hospital for three weeks. The bigger and healthier Jaci was in the hospital for the next three months.
If the split is after eight days, you end up Monoamniotic monochorionic (Mo/mo) twins, in which both babies are in the same amniotic sac sharing the same placenta.

A discovery of twins
It was a surprise name that meant that there was nothing unsuspected.

The baby could become very sick as blood flow worsens, he said but it was a threat for both babies. For example, one baby could pass away, and the other baby could also be lost because of bleeding through the connections on the other side of the placenta from the smaller fetus that passed“Fortunately,away. the blood flows improved we could carry Riley all the way to 35 weeks gestation,” Dr. Galan
When Taylor was eight weeks pregnant, she went to her appointment at Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton and discovered the babies were twins.
The Reiders drove back and forth every day, leaving the house at 6:30 a.m. with Riley to see Jaci at the hospital until 4 p.m. Jaci had developed some unknown health problems and needed as many as eight blood transfusions during her stay.
Rileysaid.and Jaci Rieder were born on Dec. 10, 2021, and placed in Children’s Hospital Colorado Newborn Intensive Care Unit.
Taylor and Bryan Rieder were expecting their first baby but were thrilled to discover they were expecting their first two — twins.
The journey for Jaci Taylor said Riley was a rock star drinking her bottles and kept growing.“It was kind of funny, we had to get a car seat that was rated small enough, and when she hit the fourpound mark, she was in the car seat. The next morning, we left the hospital with Riley -- it was surreal,” she said.
“It’s been awesome to be able to come home from work and be able to take care of the girls. I put a lot into perspective because I’m also an identical twin. So knowing what my parents had to go through, you know, now being able to experience that puts it into perspective for us,” Bryan said.
Taylor carried her twins for 35 weeks, with doctors monitoring them once a week because of several“Thecomplications.splitwasn’t even on the placenta for each baby. So one baby got a smaller placental share compared to the other. It sets that baby up for complications, such as selective fetal growth restriction,” he said.
Dr. Galan said identical twins result from a fertilized egg that splits. The timing of the split dictates what type of twins you end up carrying.Ifitsplits within the first three days, you will have Di/di twins. If they split between three and eight days, you end up with Mo/di twins like Taylors.
“During my ultrasound, they said you have Di/di twins, which means Dichorionic diamniotic twins,” Taylor said. It’s how most twins grow, in their own amniotic sacs and placentas.
“The gal instantly looked kind of silent and the whole ultrasound was kind of uneasy for Bryan and I,” Taylor Reider said. “She told us, ‘These are not Di/di twins!’ I did not have much to say- I had a pit in my stomach and was lost for words.”
Mo/di twins are “...roughly about under 1% of all pregnancies. Twins are about 3% of all pregnancies, and 1/3 of these pregnancies are

“Those vessels and the umbilical cords branch out like the roots of the tree across the placenta for each baby. And on the surface of the placenta, which is universally connected vessels from one side of the placenta to the other, they share a circulation,” he said.
Dr. Galan said one twin would likely be growth restricted because they share the same placenta with abnormal umbilical blood flow. It was a higher-risk pregnancy and would have to be closely monitored, he said.

“You lose about 50% of Mo/mo babies because of cord entanglements. Or you end up with congenital defects and most are lost with
“We got a call in the middle of the night, it was pretty scary. They said she had bloody diapers and they needed to consent for a blood transfusion. We panicked and went to the hospital and got her transfusions,” Taylor said.
“Mo/di twins are very rare and only 1% of pregnancies carry Mo/ di twins. They share a placenta and blood supply which can be fatally dangerous,” said Dr. Henry Galan, a fetal surgeon and maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

She passed away in 2008. He has not been able to track down anyone yet but thinks Helen’s daughter, who lived in Denver after Helen died, was getting everything out of her house and mistakenly included those albums with books.
