Susan Keithley, Adams County nurse manager for Sexual Health and Harm Reduction, said they are developing mobile program to ensure that they are consistently in areas where the community needs assistance.

“We want to ensure we are putting the word out about Narcan in the fentanyl testing strips. We are also doing the syringe exchange because we want to prevent infection. It’s why we’re doing HIV and syphilis testing,” Keithley said.

Keithley said the goal is to o er sexually transmitted infection kits to help decrease the risks of transmission no matter how it’s passed along.

“We are out there to support the community and if they’re ready to get into treatment, were there to help them get into treatment as well,” Keithley said.

In addition, to the mobile unit, they are in partnership with the Adams County Sexual Health Clinics. e Sexual Health Clinic they are doing the same services as the mobile unit, testing chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea, and syphilis testing and also doing rapid and con rmatory HIV testing with condom distribution. In addition, it o ers other services such as Pap smears and mammograms.

“We are hoping as we get our mobile unit going, that we’ll be able to bring treatments with our mobile unit. It has been one of the largest barriers to care besides nancial or lack of health insurance being un-housed and not having transportation,” Keithley said. “If we’re able to bring all our service, we can treat people where they are.”

Edward James Stieber

March 12, 1958 - April 29, 2023

On the 29th of April 2023, Big Ed Stieber went to the happy hunting ground in the sky while hospitalized at MD Anderson in Houston, TX. Born March 12, 1958 to Rich and Marlene (Davis) Stieber, Eddie grew up loving the outdoors. He held passions for so many things including (in no particular order) elk hunting, his wife & soulmate Dianne, shing, bear hunting, wood working, his family, deer hunting, his nieces and nephews-including “greats”, duck hunting, camping, gardening, goose hunting, cooking-especially making salsa and pies, their cabin in Crystal Lakes, and more hunting.

After attending Fort Lupton schools and working for his dad’s Deere business, Ed’s career began with farming for Lloyd Land and continued 29 years with the Colorado Department of Transportation, where he found many, many friends, mentoring and giving advice even after retirement.

A big man with a heart just as big, he was known throughout his life for baking pies for birthday observances and special occasions. Every fall, dozens and dozens of jars were lled with his special salsa, pickles, and sauerkraut that he shared generously.

When he married his true love, Dianne Allison on December 31, 1994, she knew their kitchen was where she would always nd Ed preparing wonderful creations. taxes owed in 2025. e 6.7% rate would remain unchanged through the 2032 tax year, for taxes owed in 2033.

Only diagnosed recently with Chordoma, a form of cancer that attacks either end of the spinal column, Ed tried valiantly to overcome the rapid growth. Ed would have especially wished to thank family and friends who supported him following his diagnosis.

He will be mourned and missed by all his surviving friends and family: his wife Dianne, mother Marlene Stieber, siblings Zo (George) Hubbard, Chris (Liz) Stieber, & Jack Stieber as well as nephew Travis (Jessica) Stieber, nieces Sam (Rod) Dudley, Kenzie (Austin) Collier, Madison Stieber, Kyli (Marcus) Garcia and their families. He is also survived by brothers-in-law Barry (Diana) Allison (& nephew Dillon), Orie (Melanee) Allison (& nephew Justin), and adopted nephews Brady and Brycen Buum, and cousins with whom he held a very close kinship.

Gone before Ed’s passing were his dad Rich and brother Greg.
