New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibitcompany indoor dining, personal Driverless warehouse ready to gatherings go Company said tech might be a cure for supply chain clogs

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A company that specializes in artificially intelligent, driverless systems that help dock trailers full of goods into distribution yards said they are ready to go to market.

For Andrew Smith, founder and CEO of Goldenbased tech firm Outrider, it might be a key solution to the nation’s current supply chain woes.

“Automation is key to relieving the inflationary pressure on the supply chain,” Smith said. “Distribution yards are critical links in the supply chain and prime targets for automating the flow of goods between over-the-road transportation and fulfillment centers, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.

Automating yards requires reliable systems capable of backing trailers of all kinds safely and precisely into parking spots and dock spots billions of times a year, he said.

Outrider specializes in the kinds of autonomous yard operations that could change the face of the trucking industry and distribution yards. The Golden company has been testing its fleet of fully autono- An Outrider autonomous truck hooked onto a chassis backs a small trailer into a dock.

Carol Shull

February 8, 1936 - January 23, 2022

Carol Jean (Opie) Shull, 85, of Ft. Lupton, Colorado, passed away January 23, 2022 at her home. She was born February 8, 1936 in Denver, Colorado to William and Esther (Tippett) Opie and grew up in Denver. Her father was born in Aspen and when she was young, her family would take annual camping trips to a mountain lake near Aspen. She loved those trips and often reminisced about them. She attended Colorado A&M (which later became Colorado State University) in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and was studying voice and piano performance, when she met George B. Shull.

They were married June 25, 1955, shortly after he graduated from Colorado A & M. They honeymooned in a cabin in the Boulder Canyon, then packed up their belongings and continued their honeymoon as they traveled via the Black Hills, Lake Superior, Niagara Falls, and Montreal, Canada, before finally arriving in Connecticut, where George started his first engineering job, at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company. Carol also got a job at Pratt & Whitney, in the office.

They soon became a family – their first seven children were born in Connecticut.

Their next child, Dana Lee, was born after they moved back to Denver; she died when she was only six months old. They moved away from Colorado two more times, to Idaho (where Doug was born) and California, each time returning to Colorado for several years between George’s aerospace jobs in other locations, and they finally retired in Ft. Lupton.

Carol loved being a mom. While in Connecticut, she helped with a Girl Scout troop and enjoyed going camping with the troop. Over the years she also was active in the churches she attended, frequently singing WEBB

in the choir, playing piano and organ, and more recently, helping with a puppet ministry. She also taught Sunday School and served as the Sunday School superintendent at one of the churches. She had a heart for babies and young mothers and knit baby items for newborns and for caring pregnancy centers.

She started the Open Arms Pregnancy Center which had two locations - in Brighton and Ft. Lupton - and she was the director for a number of years. Other interests involved sewing, reading and collecting things; she had collections of dolls, teddy bears, teapots, and crèches.

Carol is survived by these children: George Daniel (Theresa) Shull, Deborah Ruth (Tom) Schesvold, Diane Carol (Rick) Perrin, Darrell William (Susan) Shull, Donna Lynn (David) Stall, Doreen Kay (Eric) Wiechert, daughterin-law Dionne Shull (wife of David Matthew Shull), Douglas James (Autumn) Shull; 16 Grandchildren: Trevor Shull, Joshua (Ezzy) Schesvold, Jennifer Schesvold, Matthew Schesvold, Abigail (Charles) Lutte, Joseph Perrin, Nathan Perrin, Jesse (Sadie) Shull, Jasper (Bill) Guildner, Andrew (Lea) Stall, Aaron Stall, Kate Stall, Nicholas Wiechert, Christopher Wiechert, Anthony (Kate) Albright, Santana Shull; and 6 greatgrandchildren: Imogen, Hannah, Evaline, Evelyn, Carolynn, Benjamin (and one more soon to arrive).

She is preceded in death by her husband George Bolton Shull, her daughter Dana and her son David.

A memorial service is planned for Saturday, March 12th at 10:30 am at Harvest Fellowship Church, 11401 E 160th Avenue, Brighton, CO 80602.

Paws to Heal Therapy dogs help patients and staff with stress

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Therapy dog Sweet usually starts her day walking down the halls of Platte Valley Medical Center towards section two-west. She heads into the nurse’s stations there where a group of six nurses surrounds the pup, excited to see her.

“Sweet put her head down in one lady’s lap which she’s has never done that before. The lady had been crying and asked if she could hug Sweet and mentioned she needed loving today and had a tough day, “said Cheryl Palumbo, Sweet’s handler. “Dogs know when people need attention.”

Sweet, a slender and calm greyhound, is a working therapy dog with an organization called Paws to Heal. The therapy dogs go into the hospitals visiting patients and staff bringing comfort, joy and reducing stress. Paws to Heal started at Platte Valley Medical Center (PVMC) years ago when it first opened at its location in 2007.

Palumbo had not heard of the program so when she took Sweet in for a checkup one of the ladies at the veterinarian office, who was in the Paws to Heal group, witnessed Sweet’s interaction with people, dogs and a cat in the waiting area.

“The lady told me your dog would be perfect as a therapy dog so she told me a little about it. After six months, I took her to the trainer,” said Palumbo.

Susan Wiant with her previous lab named Avalanche also started volunteering with Paws to Heal when PVMC first opened. The organization started as two separate companies, Alliance Therapy Dogs and Pet Partners, so the organizations renamed it Paws to Heal.

“We have seven actual teams and two new teams that will be starting so we will have nine teams of dogs,” said Wiant.

During the COVID pandemic shutdown impacted the therapy dogs and

handlers too not being able to come to the hospital.

“They let us back in with staff for a while and it’s been wonderful with the dogs. Slowly we are allowed on all the units with patients, but with COVID, it’s been the main concern with us, “ said Wiant.

All the therapy dogs are members of their owners’ households but go through obedient training and Canine Good Citizen training. The handlers go through training, too.

Beverly Cudsik with her dog Pepper has volunteered for six years visiting hospitals.

“Pepper did a lot of training in the beginning when she was a puppy and I took her to obedience and Canine Good Citizen classes. Then you are connected to organizations,” said Cudsik. “When you use your dog, you know what kind of personality they have. When I got my dog seven months ago, she was just so sweet and calm. I just knew she’d make a great therapy dog.”

Once the dog completes training, they are evaluated on basic skills, such as how they react to people, to noises and to different environments. After passing, the therapy dog is ready to visit organizations.

The breed of a dog does not matter, Cudzik said. The main thing is personality and if they like people or like being petted.

“It could be any dog, a big dog or small dog. Whatever you choose, you know your dog,” said Cudsik.

“Sometimes the dog can be wonderful at home but don’t like people or crowds, so they are not a good therapy dog.”

Cudsik chooses where she and Pepper want to visit from hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. PVMC was her first assignment has been coming ever since.

“I go other places, but I like Platte Valley. It’s like home and family.

It makes me so happy. Pepper just loves it and seeing the joy she brings to people,” said Cudsik.

“Also, we bring them to the courthouse and she calms people down,” she said. “They are all stressed out and afraid to testify. S,he just makes them happy and the staff too. They say ‘You just made my day.’ “

Joy Memmen a ICU registered nurse has two visitors left Sweets and Pepper.

Brad Layman is a registered nurse and nurse educator at the hospital for 22-years and was in the emergency department.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have known Susan Wiant since the inception and watched her wonderful family of dogs going through here, which I got very connected with,” said Layman.

Layman says with the patientcentered care model at PVMC the therapy dogs are a great addition to the hospital.

“This is phenomenal addition is very successful, in my opinion, as far as with visiting the patients,” said Layman. “In this day on how healthcare has gone and the stress on healthcare workers is a lot and associates as well. It’s not only for the patients, which is a huge part of it and very effective.

The hospital’s employees look forward to seeing the dogs, too.

“Everybody is just overjoyed with them and it has helped with the health and wellness of the caregivers as well,” said Layman. “It’s a huge asset to the entire organization. I can’t imagine not having them. They make my day every time I see him.”

Joy Memmen a registered nurse at Platte Valley and has held various positions, but spent most of her time as an ICU nurse.

During the COVID pandemic, I would describe it to people there are two worlds, there’s the world outside the hospital, and the world inside the hospital- the world inside the hospital has been like a war the last couple of years,” said Memmen. Our staff, our patients, all the caregivers have endured a lot of trauma.”

Memmen says when the staff sees the dogs it helps to heal the trauma, but when the dogs were unable to come in during the shut down the staff was devastated for the first few months. So when the therapy dogs were allowed to come to the parking lot outside, the staff scheduled time to come out to visit them.

“I seek out the dogs and know what time they come in and when they are at the bistro. I’ll go down to say hello to the dogs just to spend a few minutes with them. I’m not sure what we would have done without them, “ said Memmen.

“It is so important for mental health to have that little bit of sunshine and a little bit of animal companionship.”

Football: Adams City’s Corza takes the next step to Feather River

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a time in Miguel Hernandez Corza’s life where college wasn’t on his radar. It wasn’t a pipe dream either.

“At first, I was a little goofball.

I was messing around until I saw where this sport could take me,” said Corza, who played on the Adams City High School squad last season. “I put more work into it. I got more motivation. I just went for it.”

Corza signed a collegiate football letter of intent to play at Feather River College in Quincy, California, northwest of Reno, Nevada.

“It felt more like home. It was a little community. It gives me more opportunity to be closer to people, and it was the only school to give me a chance,” Corza said.

Outgoing Adams City athletic director Jacob Katz met Corza when both were at Kearney Middle School.

“He was kind of a goofy, athletic kid. And he was a leader in the classroom,” Katz said. “When I got here (ACHS), I wasn’t seeing the same thing. I was nervous about his grades and staying with the team.”

Instead, Corza’s story over four years of high school prompts this story to prospective college athletes.

Part of the evidence was from a hot July day where Katz watched Corza doing sprints and push-ups “with nobody watching.”

“He decided he wanted something, and he worked his tail off to get it,” Katz said. “(Football) coach (Wade) Auld and I tell kids the same story.”

Corza said there wasn’t a specific defining moment for his turnaround.

“My grades were going bad. I just decided to wake up and go to school, do my sports. I had an old coach in my pee-wee leagues. He said, ‘Talent doesn’t beat hard work, that you have to work hard to beat the people with talent.’ That’s how it works out here.”

Several schools wanted Corza’s services.

“But we lost contact,” Corza said.

“Me and Feather River just stayed in contact. They gave me more love.”

Corza was 8-for-17 for 138 yards and two touchdowns for a team that finished 4-6. He caught 10 passes for 45 yards and five touchdowns. Corza also made 60 tackles, 45 of which were solo efforts. He wants to study sports medicine and isn’t sure what he wants to do afterward.

“To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to make it,” he said. “I didn’t have good grades. Then I got motivation and decided to get my grades

up. I’m a little more nervous because I’m going to be out there by myself.

But I have friends out there who

will keep me company. I love being around people. People love being around me.”
