Communit y Paper Provided FREE — SHOP LOCAL First!

The good influence of godly citizens causes a city to prosper, but the moral decay of the wicked drives it downhill. Proverbs 11:11 TLB

Compassionate Care for Your Child’s Dental & Orthodontic Needs Zoe, a spirited, gutsy tenyr-old, knew she was getting a large permanent tooth pulled. Her anxiety turned to excitement when Dr. Brady’s assistant handed Zoe a remote and encouraged her to find her favorite movie located on the ceiling above her dental chair. “During the procedure, Dr. Brady offered sensitive responsiveness to Zoe’s fear and pain levels,” said Zoe’s grandma.

“This made the entire process as easy as possible for my granddaughter. My heart was touched and impressed.”

Zoe’s experience is why the first name parents think of is Dr. Matt Brady, the most caring and remarkable Pediatric Dentist in Carbon Valley! If your child needs a dentist, choose the best at Firestone Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics (FPDO)! Dr. Brady has served the Tri-town area just shy of 10 years. If you haven’t been in to see Dr. Brady yet, what are you waiting for?

You can find him at his brand-new location at 7613 Esther Circle, Frederick, CO 80504. Once you walk in, you’ll be greeted by the front desk staff with kindness and grace. Plus, check out all the Stitches behind the front desk. Dr. Brady is a Stitch and Disney fanatic, just ask him.

Children enjoy the cool playroom consisting of an awesome peg board that’s fun for all ages or play tic tac toe. Parents, need to catch up on some work? We have a business counter where you can set up shop and have access to Wi-Fi and outlets.

Roundabout at WCR 6 & 13

A capital improvement project planned to begin in 2025 is moving forward with state support. The Weld County Board of Commissioners has accepted a $1 million grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to go toward construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 6 and WCR 13.

Consistent with the design of other county roundabouts, the one built at WCR 6 and WCR 13 will feature wide lanes to accommodate semitrucks and large agricultural equipment as well as regular vehicles. Lanes will be made of concrete, to help ensure a longer lifecycle — the goal is 30 years — before major repairs are needed.

But wait! I thought it said Orthodontics?

Dr. David Garlock is our amazing Orthodontist. Dr. G is here once a week as he has his main practice down at Southlands Mall. Dr. Garlock and Dr. Brady have been the owners of FPDO nearly 10 years. Fun fact, Dr. G loves a good pair of high socks.

Do you only do Orthodontics for pediatric patients? Absolutely NOT! Although we only do Pediatric Dentistry, we do Orthodontics for all ages. What’s stopping you from setting up a free consultation? We offer a

“sibling discount.” If you have three children or a parent and two kids needing braces or Invisalign, we offer a discount.

When you ask both doctors what they love most about this profession, both will say, “Helping change one smile at a time.”

We are extremely lucky to have such great doctors to work for. We do quarterly team bonding, trips, luncheons, spirit days, and have just an all-around laid-back environment where we all feel like family. You can get to know our amazingly awesome staff on our website www.firestoneteeth.com under the meet the staff link.

Call today for an exam, before your child says, “OUCH, my tooth hurts.”

For more information, or to make an appointment for Dental or Orthodontics contact us at 303-848-3633, during our business hours M-Th 8-5 and Fridays from 8-1. *MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED*

The roundabout, planned for the intersection located south of Dacono and east of Erie, aims to increase both safety and efficiency. Approximately 7,340 vehicles pass through it daily, according to the Weld County Department of Public Works, with the majority of accidents experienced being broadsides. Roundabouts reduce the likelihood of injuries and fatalities by approximately 80% compared to a two-way stop and by 40% compared to a stoplight, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

The project, budgeted at $12.8 million, is in its early stages. The design is complete, but construction will be completed by an outside contractor, who is expected to be chosen early next year.

Daniel Mark Hukill

July 22, 1960 to June 11, 2024 (age 63)

Daniel Mark Hukill age 63, peacefully went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on June 11, 2024, at 3:16 am after a courageous battle with ALS. He was surrounded by his loving wife, Marcy and their children. Dan was at such peace because he knew where he was going, yet he and Marcy still had hoped to be raptured together. Dan told Marcy, if that doesn’t happen, he would see her again, riding on his favorite horse Banjo.

How does one write the life story of such an amazing man in just a few paragraphs?

You can’t! But we will do our best to highlight Dan’s wonderful life.

Dan was born on July 22, 1960, to Fred and Ruby Hukill in Burley, Idaho. He was the middle brother of five children Rita, Linda, Fred, Dan and Rob. He was raised on the Hukill farm outside of Paul, Idaho on a 160-acre homestead in a 4-bedroom home that their dad, Fred built. Ruby kept the kids busy playing t-ball, cub scouts, swimming, 4-H, and reading books from the library. On Sundays, they would attend Paul Methodist Church, and during the summer they attended vacation bible school. Dan especially enjoyed camping and fishing with his cousins, swimming in the canal, and riding their banana seat bikes all over the farm. Each year for the kids’ birthdays, Ruby enjoyed making a cake, and giving them a quarter as their birthday gift. At the age of 9, they moved to their home on Ustick Road in Nampa, where they raised sheep and had milk cows. Later, the family moved to Sand Hollow, then moved to Cherry Lane, where Dan graduated from Vallivue High School in 1978.

Dan met the love of his life Marcy Ferguison, when she was 12 years old at a country dance where Running for Cover was playing “Whispering Pines”. This boy, Daniel Hukill, would melt Marcy’s heart for 47 years. When she was in high school, Marcy would often skip school, and meet Dan to ride with him in his tractor and chopping mint for Friday Farms. Still, to this day, when Marcy and Danny would drive by a mint field, they would look at one another and smile about the precious memories of dating so long ago.

At age 13, Marcy would write on her papers at school, “Mrs. Dan Hukill” or “Marcy + Dan equals love forever”, and then practice writing “Marcy Hukill” over and over. Even at such a young age, Marcy knew, she wanted to be with Dan Hukill. Dan was 21 and Marcy, barely 17, when they married only two days after she graduated high school. Their love for each other was like no other. It truly was an absolute love affair that not many people understand. Marcy reflected that it was such an honor and privilege to be his wife, Mrs. Dan Hukill.

They started their life together in Twin Falls, Idaho and Dan began his career as a heavy equipment operator at Boise Paving. He would later hone in on his skill as a

true steward of the land and became a master operator of many pieces of equipment in the excavation world. In the early years, the three brothers, Dan, Fred and Rob, worked together doing excavation. Later, Dan and Marcy started their own companies, Hukill’s Fine Grading, Deer Flat Sand Gravel, Crystal Lakes Development, and lastly, M.D. Excavation.

In 1990, Dan and Marcy purchased 180-acre farm, where they mined gravel, and later reclaimed it as a beautiful development: Crystal Lakes Estates.

Dan built their retirement home resembling all the characteristics he loved in Mexico, including their own private waterfront lake.

They set their roots in South Nampa, raising their three children; Abby, Buck, and Hannah. Their family spent many years in 4-H raising pigs, going boating, camping, back country horse trips, hunting, and water skiing. According to Abby and Buck, they had daily chores of pulling weeds, and moving sprinkler pipe, but Hannah was apparently “allergic to pulling weeds”. Their three children gave Dan and Marcy’s their most prized treasures… their six grandchildren! To Abby and Travis (Lowber) were born Tucker, Darby and Trigg. To Buck and Sindi Hukill were born Stetson and Sawyer and to Hannah and Taylor (Kragerud) was born Rubee Jean. Dan was an amazing husband, father, brother, grandpa, and uncle.

For over 22 years, Dan and Marcy loved to vacation in Mexico. On their return trip home, they stayed in Arizona snow birding. The memories made in Mexico were so special and fun. They hosted many family members and enjoyed such amazing times together. Dan learned to scuba dive with his nephew Mitch, who later continued to travel annually with them to Mexico. Dan loved rock climbing anywhere there were rock formations. Rocks were one of his love languages, next to chocolate eclairs.

Dan Hukill was an honorable man of character, integrity, and was so loved and admired by his family and so many friends. He was well respected in his profession, and he leaves a legacy of what a true man of God should look like and how he should live.

Dan’s presence will be so missed, but he will live on is his children and grandchildren and the lives he impacted.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE was Wednesday, June 19, 2024 at 11:00 am at Bowmont Community Church in Bowmont, Idaho PRIVATE INTERMENT at Melba Cemetery Melba, Idaho 83641 Please pray for my cousin and her family. Thank you, Kelly Martindale, Publisher.

Overcoming Tragedy from Flight 629 Colorado History Series Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 6-7:30pm Carbon Valley Public Library 7 Park Avenue, Firestone Guest Speaker: Marian Poeppelmeyer, author of Finding my Father – Beyond Tragedy, Through Trauma, and Into Freedom Marian Hobgood Poeppelmeyer, daughter of Marion Pierce Hobgood, will present the story of her journey to learn about her father, who was killed the night of November 1, 1955, along with 43 other passengers, when United Airlines Flight 629 (Mainliner Denver) exploded over beet fields in Weld County, Colorado.

Finding my father is Marian’s story, which delves into the ripple effect of tragedy and trauma in the life of this family who lost a husband and father in the first-ever commercial airplane bombing over US soil.

How does one family pick up their shattered lives and move on? Can they move beyond their tragedy? “How does anyone?” asks author Marian Poeppelmeyer (https:// www.marianpoeppelmeyer.com/).

She provides firsthand insight and takes you on a reeling ride forty years later as she begins her relentless pursuit to know her father. In this search, she discovers her real dad and the need to understand forgiveness in a way she never asked for.

Marian came out in 2022 and met Conrad and Martha Hopp, residents of Firestone, who were the first on the beet fields that night. “They and nearly 400 others are the real heroes of that night.”

She also spoke to as many town halls as she could address in her short visit. She publicly thanked each community for what their ancestors had done that tragic night which scarred everyone for decades. She calls these Weld County-Longmont citizens, the unsung heroes, whose commemoration in her opinion was long overdue. For their courage and bravery to face the horror of that bombing, she continually states it was the greatest display of the American Spirit: Americans helping Americans in time of need.

Marian said, “Someone found my dad, covered my dad, protected my dad from looters, and transported my dad to the State Armory in Greeley…I could not have done that.

“My life is entwined forever with the Weld County area…I like to think of it as my second home.”

Come, hear her story, and leave inspired and full of hope.

Marian will bring copies of her book for purchase, 20% of proceeds will be donated to HPLD Friends & Foundation.

Health&WELL BEING Food For The Soul: Spiritual Orphans

What Is Coaching?

In the Old Testament prophet Hosea’s sixty years of faithfully proclaiming the word of the Lord to a rebellious Hebrew nation that was ignoring him, we repeatedly hear the Lord’s voice speaking to this nation through Hosea’s mouth, although they are NOT paying heed.

Over and over he tries, just as ‘*The Hound of Heaven’ does in all lives today. He doesn’t easily give up on a wayward individual or nation. Human souls matter that much to God. As a matter of fact, we were created to live permanently in God’s presence. God wants to be our God in the perfect place He’s prepared for us. But to reach that end, humans must be perfected. Adam disbelieved in God’s goodness and disobeyed God’s word, which resulted in humanity losing our original splendor.

Then God sent His Son to do what Adam didn’t. He ran His race and succeeded where Adam failed. He trusted and obeyed all the way to the cross. And thus we find in Jesus so great a salvation.

When a person comes to (or returns to) the Lord, it has to be with words from the heart.

God wants us to SAY it, not for His ears only, but for ours also. He knows if we are serious, and it is speech coming from our hearts that convinces Him. Israel is told in Hosea 14 to RETURN, because they had previously followed the Lord before turning to Baal worship.

In that day and this, persons could stay with the Lord or stray from the Lord- their choice.

They had chosen foolishly to bow to a god of their own making rather than the Creator God of the universe, so they needed to repent and return. In our day Jesus Christ has fully paid for sin on the cross, such that a person can bow to Him and be eternally saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit. As we walk with Him we will grow in faith and love, and experience His blessing.

BUT WE CAN STILL STRAY and turn away from the Lord, in which case we will cease to enjoy the favor and blessing of God. Because of the sealing work of God’s Holy Spirit, we won’t lose salvation, but we will lose our joy and the satisfaction that comes to a Christ-follower. You can still go through the motions and even be in church, but unless you’re ‘walking the walk’, it’s a sham and you are being a hypocrite. In that case, you need to return to the Lord just like Israel needed to. Sin then and sin today causes stumbling.

Satan has been using the same tricks for centuries, because they work.

For example, “Has God said? like he used on Eve in the Garden. He still gets people to doubt the word of God, and then choose their own way, which will never bring us closer to God. Sin is a fall, and it necessitates those who have fallen by sin to ‘get back up again’ through repentance. And what is repentance? It is owning your error, confessing it to the Lord, and forsaking it. That is the only way to once again get right with God. Bemoaning our mistakes won’t do it. Confessing and forsaking them will. The ancient Jews had a saying, ‘Repentance is a great thing, for it brings men quite up to the throne of glory’.

The heart must dictate to the tongue, because God hears the heart. We need to ask God to take away ALL iniquity, not just some. It is important to ‘come clean’ with God, since He knows our deeds anyway, so we have no place to hide. Until our iniquity is taken away we should expect nothing from God but the wages of sin. Playing games with God is a losing proposition, because He isn’t fooled by pretense on our part. We need always to be honest with God. Be especially careful that you not lean on being ‘religious’ and having that as your self-made idol, just as people make stone or metal idols to worship.

Only when we realize our personal helplessness to do anything to redeem ourselves apart from God’s mercy and loving kindness should we expect to find His hand reaching toward us. Hosea proclaimed in 14:3 the words, “for in You the orphan finds mercy.” Jesus told us in John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” You see, God views ALL of us as spiritual orphans in need of a heavenly Father. Even though we may know and love our earthly father we need one who will NEVER let us down.

The Lord’s desire is to have both Jews and Gentiles in His forever family, and He went to great lengths to accomplish that. Ephesians 1:5,6 says, “He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” We got saving grace in and through and from Jesus, and now we’ve been adopted by God into His forever family, IF we know Jesus; not just know about Him. You have to have made Him your personal Lord and Savior. Indeed, all the way through the Bible, old and new testaments, God is pursuing us. We were created to live in His presence, and He has done all in His power, short of making us robots, to make that happen, if we have ears to hear.

Coaching in general helps focus on the present and the future, and is a partnership between the coach and the client.

A coach can help you come up with your own road map to guide you in achieving the goals you want to accomplish, along with action steps to help you work toward those goals.

With active listening and skillful questioning, the coach can guide you in building the skills, strengths, and behaviors needed to help you make progress toward your goals.

A coach can offer new perspectives on things, help you build self-confidence, and hold you accountable as you work on your goals.

Coaching can help you build awareness in areas of your life that may need some change, and help you find solutions to your challenging situations. A coach can help you focus on the things you can change, by empowering you with choices you take for your life.

For those women that have experienced betrayal trauma, a betrayal trauma coach can help you move forward in your healing process by validating your experiences, and giving you a space to share your feelings. A coach can help you become aware of yourself and your needs, separate from your partner.

Many coaching programs work together with therapy and counseling, but know that coaching is not meant to replace therapy or counseling treatments. Therapy is mental health care, and counseling mostly focuses on healing the past.

Coaching is usually not the first step in your healing journey, but most often occurs after therapy or counseling, and after the client is stabilized.

Make no doubt that a betrayal trauma coach or life coach plays a pivotal role in your healing process, and is worth the investment to help you get where you want to be as you move forward.

I would be honored to be your coach as you work on healing and becoming your best self. I want to help you Begin Life Anew.

To see if coaching is the next step for you, schedule a Free 30-minute consultation by visiting my website at BeginLifeAnew. com. I look forward to hearing your story, and can answer any questions you may have about my services. Tracy Rewerts CCLC, APSATS Trainee, NASM CPT.

Choosing the Right In-Home Care Help As a Certified Senior Advisor, my role is to guide families through the search for the right senior living community. Engaging the help of in-home care is often a part of that equation. Why? Several reasons. Someone could be transitioning from a recent hospital stay and needing to recover and rehab at home before being strong enough to move. Or, it could be that there is no availability at the community of their choice, and waiting it out at home, with support, is the only option. Or, they may want to move to an independent living community and need a little extra help and support, but not to the degree of needing assisted living.

Whether it’s for one of the above reasons, or simply that someone wishes to remain at home as long as possible, choosing the right in-home care is a matter of asking the right questions. Here are some things to consider.

What services do they offer? Home care services can include companion care, like meal prep and socialization, or personal care which includes help with activities of daily living.

Otherwise known as ADL’s, these include things like dressing and bathing assistance. Is skilled nursing care an option? Or specialized dementia and Alzheimer’s care?

How are providers vetted? Ask if the agency does comprehensive background checks and drug screens for caregivers and nurses. You’ll also want to ask if nurses are licensed, bonded and insured.

What is the availability of services? Is there a minimum of hours? Do you offer overnight care? How do you handle it when a caregiver or nurse is sick and unable to carry out their shift? Do you need to sign a long-term contract? Finding caregivers that serve the area where you live, is also key.

I’m happy to provide suggestions for in-home care with caregivers that serve the Carbon Valley Area. Usually comparing at least two options is recommended.

Finding An Address In Weld County Weld County Road numbering systems may seem confusing, but there is some logic to it. Once you master the system, the only problem you will have is finding out which roads actually go through to the one you are looking for.

The first thing to remember is that the even-numbered go east to west and the oddnumbered roads go north to south. Secondly, each numbered road is one mile from the previous one and the numbers get larger as you go north or east. For example, WCR 13 goes north and south and is one mile east of WCR 11 and one mile west of WCR 15. WCR 18 goes east and west and is one mile north of WCR 16 and one mile south of WCR 20. The roads in-between the mile roads are labeled as a fraction based on the distance from the lower numbered roads. If a road is 1/2 mile north of WCR 16, it would be WCR 16 1/2.

Another thing to keep in mind with the road names is that they change within many of the municipalities. For example, WCR 11 is York in Dacono, Silver Birch in Frederick, and Birch in Firestone. WCR 20 is Bella Rosa Parkway in Frederick and becomes Pine Cone when you are in Firestone. The only one that is somewhat consistent is WCR 13, which is Colorado Blvd. in all three communities.

Most confusion begins when trying to locate a certain house number. There is some logic to this system, even though it may not be apparent. To begin, determine whether you are looking for an off or even numbered cross street. If you address is on an even-numbered road, you need to find the odd-numbered cross street and if you are looking for a house on an oddnumbered road, you need an even-numbered cross street.

Now comes the tricky part. Look at the address number and follow these directions: 1.

Look at the number left after dropping the last three digits. 2. Double that number. 3. If you are looking for an odd-numbered cross road, add 1. If you are looking for an even-numbered cross road, add 2. 4. The result is the number of the cross street.

To further define where the property is, look at the rest of the address number. The next 2 digits (the second and third from the right) tell you how many hundredths of a mile from the cross street the property is located. The final digit (at the right) tells you what side of the street the property is on. Odd for north and west sides, even for south and east sides.

Now for an example: 6513 WCR 51. 1. Ignoring the last 3 digits leaves a 6. 2. Doubling the 6 gives us 12. 3. Since we are on an odd-numbered road we are looking for an evennumbered cross street, we add 2, giving us 14. This means the property is located north of WCR 14. 4. The next to digits (51) tell us the house is 51/100ths north and the 3 means it is on the west side of the road.

The house numbering also works for most of the new subdivisions in the Carbon Valley area. By examining the house number as show above, you will be able to get a general idea where the property is located. One other twist is now the municipalities are re-naming the county roads within their boundaries. Even though the street name changes, the numbering usually remains the same.

For example, in Dacono, Frederick and Firestone, WCR 13 is known as Colorado Boulevard, but in those same communities, WCR 11 is called York Street, Silver Birch Blvd, and Birch Avenue, respectfully.

Now you can amaze your friends by not having to ask directions when looking for that house out in the county. If you would like a free current map of the Carbon Valley area, just let me know.

Episcopal Diocese Hosts Groundbreaking Ceremony With Community Partners Frederick, CO – Brigit’s Village, today, broke ground on the first affordable housing community in Frederick. When completed in the Summer of 2025, Brigit’s Village will provide low-income seniors the ability to age in place and families, many of whom are single parent households, the opportunity to live close to jobs and schools without the risk of being priced out of the housing market.

“Today, our community is taking a monumental step toward offering an attainable housing option in the Town of Frederick. This initiative ensures that people of all ages and income levels feel welcomed and valued and have the opportunity to thrive.” said Frederick Mayor Tracie Crites. “”I am so excited for the work done by the people of St. Brigit’s Episcopal Church on behalf of their community. One of the biggest parts of our call as followers of Jesus is caring for our neighbor. Brigit’s Village reflects our people’s commitment to this work, providing not only housing, but also community for seniors, teachers and others who are essential to our common life,” said Bishop Kym Lucas.

Brigit’s Village is a 40-unit multi-generational affordable housing community in 1-,2and 3 bedroom apartments for individuals and families with a community serving space.

Unit amenities will include first floor patios, Energy Star appliances, large closets, in-unit washers and dryers, and hard surface flooring (carpet in the bedrooms). Onsite amenities include a fitness room, a community room with a teaching kitchen, bike storage, and on-site management. A large community room will be made available to the community for use free of charge. Brigit’s Bounty, a local community garden nonprofit, is located adjacent to the project and will be offering their programs and community food share to residents of Brigit’s Village.
