FEATURE STORY

Windsor resident Penny Ballman is the President of Stepping Stones of Windsor, which offers support for people needing assistance.

Local business William Oliver’s Publick House boasts whiskies from all over the world in addition to priding themselves on building community.

Remembering a giving spirit and the true meaning of the Christmas holiday.

All ages are invited to come to Windsor Wonderland for fun and festive activities and entertainment hosted by town staff as well as local businesses.

The spirit of giving doesn't have to be just about material items.

EDITOR’SLETTER

H

o, ho, holy cow how can it already be the holiday season? Where did the year go?

That’s pretty much what I ask myself each month.

How can it be April?

Wow, we are already in June?

Where did September go?

Wait, wasn’t it just Thanksgiving?

And soon, we will be celebrating a new year and asking the same questions.

While time marches on at the same pace, for many of us, myself included, time seems to whizz by in an unusually fast rate.

With the stopwatch continually ticking, it’s more important now than ever to take some time to slow down and appreciate the season with family and friends.

Whether that means going to holiday parties, attending community holiday celebrations, checking out light displays or taking the time to pick up the phone and call family or friends to catch up, make some time to enjoy the spirit of the season.

The holiday season is also a great way to teach youngster about the value of community service and volunteerism.

Time and kindness to others really is the most special gift anyone can give, so make it a point to be generous with it this year.

From food banks, senior centers, animal shelters and other nonprofit organizations, there’s no shortage of volunteer opportunities in our community.

One way to get kids involved in giving to others is to include them in purchasing toys and items for local gift drives.

Instead of you picking out toys or gifts, have your children choose something they think another child would like. You can even go as far as giving them the money and letting they purchase the items.

Make it a family affair by adopting a senior or family in need — many organizations, including the Greeley Tribune, offer these types of holiday programs.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, the staff at MyWindsor wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

Best wishes, Tamara Markard Editor DECEMBER 2023 | mywindsor | 5

THE SAYING “NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES” IS SO TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE AND GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

hether it’s a teacher who inspires students to be their best, a kid who shovels the driveway for their elderly neighbors or a company that donates services, time and products to the community, there’s no shortage of local heroes in our community.

MyWindsor’s Hometown Heroes is a way to recognize and thank the people and companies who strive to make our community better through their time, talents, generosity and kindness.

Add that on top of the increased cost of food, utilities, gas and other

living necessities, many folks are finding themselves in a financial bind.

Stepping Stones of Windsor offers support for people needing help with their rent or mortgage payments or assistance with paying utilities.

The nonprofit provides financial help for residents in the Weld RE-4 School District that includes Windsor, Severance and part of West Greeley.

Penny Ballman has been working with the nonprofit for seven years.

“Many people are working two jobs and they are still struggling. It doesn’t take very much anymore to tip you over that edge because the rents in Windsor are astronomical,” Ballman said. “They can’t hardly make their rent so they aren’t able to put anything away. The food pantry’s numbers have practically doubled like ours has because so many more people need their services and need the help.”

Prior to joining Stepping Stones

of Windsor, Ballman worked for the Loveland Housing authority.

She retired from the organization in 2016.

“Every time I talk to her, I marvel at her depth and breadth of knowledge, her deep sense of compassion and her love for the community,” said Kelly Hall, secretary for the nonprofit.

Ballman uses her experience and passion working with the Loveland House Authority to now help people in her own community.

“Because I had seen the good that Stepping Stones had done for a few of the residents that I had as a housing coordinator, I decided that I didn’t want to be retired with nothing to do,” she said. “I wanted to volunteer and do something.”

Ballman works alongside eight other volunteers to help community members who are struggling to pay their rent or mortgage or have received a shutoff notice for their utilities.

“So they call in and we make apso that we can stay in business.” pointments with them to go over eveThe nonprofit has been inundated rything,” Ballman explained. “We can with requests for help over the past help them with up to $1,000, which year and a half and averages around in this day and $10,000 worth age, especially of support each for an eviction, month. is practically One of the maybe half.” hardest parts of Stepping the job for BallStones relies man is when she on grants and is unable to help donations for its a community funding, Ballman member or hears said.

If Stepping Stones is unable to help someone, they have a list of resources that they can refer them to.

Next year will be Ballman’s last as the nonprofit has a term-limit for volunteers.

While she won’t be at Stepping Stones, Ballman plans to move on to “something else” that will allow her to continue to support her community.

“For me, being part of Stepping Stones has been very, very rewarding. It’s so nice to be able to help,” Ballman said. “I’ll still be involved in different things, I just won’t be a board member.”

hen you’re doing your holiday shopping at local small businesses, don’t forget that many restaurants, breweries and bars in Windsor are also small businesses.

One local small business that would make a great gift for fans of spirits, good vibes and fun times is that of William Oliver’s Publick House.

The pub, owned by Ryan and Tiffany Wallace, offers the community a place to come together, enjoy a drink or two and relax.

“What sets William Oliver’s apart from other pubs is our unwavering focus on building a strong sense of community,” explained Ryan Wallace. “Our pub is a unique space where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together and share in their common experiences. In a world that often emphasizes our differences, William Oliver’s is a haven for everyone to reflect on our shared humanity and find solace amid the day-to-day chaos.”

William Oliver’s features around 400 different kinds of whiskey from around the world, including Japan and Finland.

“Our shtick is ‘whiskey from anywhere in the world’ so we have whiskey from Scotland, Ireland, obviously the United States, Mexico, Spain, Israel,” Ryan Wallace said.

“If we can get our hands on it, we will take whiskey from anywhere in the world.”

You don’t have to be a connoisseur to enjoy a visit to William Oliver’s.

In fact, Ryan Wallace and his crew of expert bartenders enjoy talking about the

history, features and world of whiskey to everyone and anyone.

“We host educational classes on whiskey regularly. Our goal is to offer at least one public whiskey class each month. For a more personalized experience, we provide private, small-group whiskey experiences,” Ryan Wallace said. “Recommending whiskey brands depends on individual preferences and I prefer a personalized approach. Rather than suggesting a general starting point, I encourage a one-on-one conversation to understand a person’s likes and dislikes.”

William Oliver’s facilitates this exploration with taster pours and custom flights for every whiskey they carry, ensuring a tailored and enjoyable experience for everyone from newbies to casual whiskey drinkers to serious experts.

What I find most enjoyable about whiskey is its ability to spark conversations among strangers. There’s an irresistible urge to share the experience of discovering a new and beloved whiskey,” Ryan Wallace said. “Whiskey, to me, is more than a drink; it’s a storytelling medium encapsulated in a glass, creating connections and fostering conversations that go beyond the spirit itself.”

Along with whiskey, William Oliver’s features beer from Colorado breweries, including New Belgium, Horse & Dragon and WeldWerks, as well as non-alcoholic beer and cocktails, craft soda, cocktails and wine, freshsqueezed lemonade and drinks to go.

In addition to their beverages, William Oliver’s is just as creative and diverse with its food menu.

The pub’s menu features a variety of appetizers such as a Pint-O-Bacon and salmon crostini, hot dogs, chili and soups, sandwiches and salads.

The “Something Different” area on the menu is exactly that — something you won’t see served in typical bars and breweries.

The section features things like BBQ Jackfruit Tacos and Salmon Baked Potato as well as the Bossy Pig, a combination of mac and cheese topped with bacon crumbles, pulled pork and house-made pork green chili.

William Oliver’s welcomes all ages with selections for youngsters.

The pub sells gift cards for all occasions, which makes holiday shopping a breeze as well as something that is appreciated by the recipient.

However, if you’re looking to gift a bottle of whiskey to a friend, family member or

co-worker, according to Ryan Wallace “selecting a whiskey as a gift should be a delightful experience, and my advice is not to overthink it.”

“Whiskey enthusiasts are generally thrilled to receive any bottle. For a thoughtful touch, consider pushing the boundaries a bit,” he said. “If you have a bourbon lover, perhaps choose a Scottish whisky finished in bourbon barrels. If you need assistance in picking the perfect bottle, shoot us an email at bottles@williamolivers.com, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the selection process.”

The Windsor location is the third, and last, pub for the Wallaces. There are also William Oliver’s locations in Fort Collins and Lafayette.

“My wife and I started this in 2013 in Fort Collins. It’s a completely original concept; it wasn’t a franchise or any-

thing like that. William Oliver is actually who Fort Collins is named for. I wanted to name it something local but not obvious. So Lt. Col. William Oliver Collins is who Fort Collins is named after.”

And just because you may have been to one William Ol-

iver’s Publick House doesn’t mean a trip to the two other’s is a waste of time or gas.

While every location offers the same quality food, vast variety of drinks and exceptional service, each William Oliver’s has its own unique vibe and experience.

s we get ready to celebrate Christmas and the holiday season, it’s easy to embrace a giving spirit.

Christmas trees are everywhere, houses are decorated with colored lights and we await the celebration of the true meaning of Christmas — Christ’s birth.

The giving of Christmas in our community and the celebration of Christmas began with Santa’s Toy Shop.

The event, started by the Harris family along with members from the Windsor Optimist Club, offered the community another gift of love that made sure that every child and senior who took part gets a star off the Christmas trees that were displayed at many of our local businesses. Each star or ornament represents a gift given by a family or person in Windsor.

The gift giving tradition that we are most familiar with today originated with the Victorians of England, who embraced the warmth and spirit of Christmas after they had experienced a long period of decline.

America expanded on the concept with the addition of Santa Claus, who became responsible for presents left 10 | mywindsor | DECEMBER 2023

f you haven’t started working on your Christmas wish list, well, you better get on it because Santa is making a stop in Windsor.

The town of Windsor is once again hosting its annual Windsor Wonderland on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Boardwalk Park, 100 N. Fifth St. All ages are invited to come on down to the park for some fun and festive activities and entertainment hosted by town staff as well as local businesses and organizations.

Festivities kick off at 4 p.m. with musical performances from local schools and organizations.

“This year, the park will be transformed into a wonderland of lights.

In addition, we will also have a live band playing holiday classics during the event,” Events Coordinator Lexie Spykstra said. “I personally am really looking forward to making this a magical event for everyone to attend. We continue to enhance the event year after year and that is the fun of it.”

Things really get exciting when Santa rolls into town at 4:30 p.m. on the Great Western Railway Train.

You’ll want to secure your spot along the tracks early since there will be lots of people waiting to welcome the big man in red.

The annual Windsor Wonderland event is a community tradition that celebrates and shares the spirit of the season through supporting local nonprofits.

The Windsor Community Recreation Center has partnered with the Windsor-Severance Food Pantry (inside Faith Church at 1020 Walnut St.) to accept donations of packaged, non-perishable food items to help local families in need during the holiday season during the Winter Wonderland event.

“The Windsor-Severance Food Pantry has partnered with the Windsor rec center for several years. The pantry relies on food drives and donations from individuals to keep our shelves stocked throughout the year. The Windsor Wonderland event is a great way for the community to get involved in helping the pantry continue do-

SOME OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD ITEMS THAT MAKE GREAT DONATIONS ARE: • Canned vegetables and beans; • Whole wheat or vegetable pasta; • Boxed whole grain crackers; • Unsweetened applesauce; • Canned tuna in water; • Boxes of cereal or oatmeal; • Canned chicken, vegetable or bean soups; • Canned fruit; • Brown rice; • Macaroni and cheese; • Can or jar pasta sauce; • Instant mashed potatoes; • Canned stew or chili. ing the work that we do,” explained Brenda Heckman, executive director of the Windsor-Severance Food Pantry.

“The Windsor-Severance Food Pantry appreciates the support and generosity of the Windsor-Severance community.”

“Any non-perishable food item is good to donate. We are always in need of flour, sugar, oil, Jell-o, pud-

ding, peanut butter and jelly. Snack items are always good too,” Heckman said. “Donating is very simple, just take it to the rec center and drop it in a bin.”

For each donated item, the name of the donor will be entered into a drawing to win a VIP experience at the Windsor Wonderland, which includes a one-on-one visit with Santa for cookies and cocoa as well as a private tour of the train. FCI Constructors will also be presenting a gift basket to the winning family.

Winners will be drawn at noon Friday, Dec. 1 and contacted via phone.

Winners must be able to attend the Windsor Wonderland event to claim their prize. If the winner is not available, a second drawing will take place.

The recreation center will be accepting donations until noon Friday, Dec. 1 at 250 N. 11th St. “This is more than a traditional festival,” Spykstra said. “This event al-

lows our community to come together, enjoy an annual holiday tradition while also giving them the opportunity to pay it forward to families in need through our partnerships with the Windsor Severance Food Pantry.”

The Wonderland is one of Windsor’s largest events each year and everything at the celebration is free — from the s’mores and carriage rides to hot chocolate and reindeer petting zoo and much more —thanks to local businesses and organizations stepping up as sponsors, Spykstra said.

Notes from

W

ith so much going on with life, work and home, it can be tough to keep up on the happenings in local government.

While you can stream Windsor Board meetings online at anytime, sitting through the program can be tedious and time consuming.

MyWindsor’s Notes from Town Hall can help you keep track of some the top issues going on throughout Windsor without you have to do any of the leg work.

Town Board At the Town Board’s meeting on Sept. 11, members approved a $1,500 sponsorship request from Trident Veteran Adaptive Program to help with the organization’s Discover Scuba Diving event on Oct. 21.

The Trident Veteran Adaptive Program provides veterans and first responders and their families and friends with recreational opportunities to experience adventures and supported activities in a safe environment.

During the meeting, Josh Savage, representative for Timberline Church, approached the board with a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow one temporary modular classroom in the RMU-1 zone district for a threeyear period.

The board unanimously approved the Conditional Use Permit for Timberline Church.

24 | mywindsor | DECEMBER 2023

The board also approved Ordinance No. 2023-1682, which amends Chapter 1, Article VIII of the town’s municipal code pertaining to campaign finance and the Fair Campaign Practice Act. The action adds campaign finance rules and regulations under new code sections 1-8-40 to 1-8-120 of the Windsor Municipal Code that includes: A $500 limit for campaign contributions for municipal candidates from any person or committee, but excludes contributions made by a candidate to their own candidate committee and independent expenditures which have no limit.

Required disclosure-reporting dates of 35 days, 14 days and the Friday before the election, and 35 days following the election.

Retention of disclosure reports to be maintained for one year after the election.

Highway 392 widening west of Weld County Road 13 to Highland Meadows Parkway is around 60% complete, reported the board.

While staff worked with a team of consultants to submit an application for a $24 million RAISE Grant, the town was not awarded the grant.

With this project being Windsor’s largest road improvement project, town staff is seeking to find other funding options.

At the board’s Oct. 9 meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Barry Wilson reported that

the I-25 project will be completed on Dec. 15. The majority of the road is in its final alignment, so drivers will start to see barriers removed and overhead signs go up.

Town Board Member Julie Cline reported that the Poudre River Corridor Authority received a donation of $31,000 from an enthusiast of the trail who passed away and left the donation request in her will.

During the meeting, the board unanimously approved Resolution No. 2023-53, which is an agreement between Windsor and the Colorado Department of Transportation for multimodal improvements to 11th Street and S. Pearson.

The project aims to add new bike facilities in a gap that exists along 11th Street between the trail connection at the Greeley No. 2 Canal while also tying new bike lanes into existing bike lanes south of the Sagewood Drive intersection.

Improvement plans include new bicycle lane signage and striping, changes to roadway striping, existing RRFB modifications, raised medians, bulbouts and ADA-compliant ramp improvements along the corridor.

Arts Commission The Windsor Arts Commission is working with Xcel to get approval to paint utility boxes.

The commission also approved a

concrete mural project a Chimney Park and a sculpture for the Halfway Homestead property has been chosen.

Parks, Recreation and Culture During its Oct. 3 meeting, the Parks, Recreation and Culture board discussed creating an emergency management plan for all events that will be evaluated and enhanced each year.

Staff also reported that the recreation center currently has 6,755 members, has completed all of its small renovation and improvement projects and has created and implemented a CRC Capital Reserve policy.

Recreation Manager Bobby Warner reported that an Eagle Scout from Windsor will be taking on the restoration project for the outhouse

at the Halfway Homestead site. The outhouse will be functional, however, people are asked not to use it.

Tree Board At the board’s Sept. 26 meeting, Town Forester Ken Kawamura reported that many of the trees at Harmony Ridge Park are “too dry” and showing signs of drought stress.

Around 30% of the trees are planted too deep and one blue spruce was planted at an angle, 80% of the trees have mulch placed against the trunk, 25% of the tree rings are inadequately built and around 10% of the trees have been planted too close together.

Also, some of the trees have deep slashes and significant damage as well as tags that need to be removed.

Economic Development Council of Colorado

T

he town of Windsor Economic Development team recently received the Medium Community of the Year award for its excellent work in the “economic development of a community.”

The Economic Development Council of Colorado, EDCC, presented the team with the honor during its annual conference on Oct. 20 in Grand Junction.

“I am incredibly proud to accept this distinguished award on behalf of the Town of Windsor. It is a testament to our collective vision, hard work and unwavering dedication to economic growth and development,” Windsor Mayor Paul Rennemeyer said in a press release. “Our town’s success would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our local businesses, residents and government leadership who have come together to foster innovation and create opportunities for all.”

The town’s Economic Development department, created in 2011, is comprised of three team members who serve over 1,000 businesses located across more than 13 different business parks across Windsor.

Since its inception, the team has continued to invest in infrastructure improvements, regional participation and community strategic planning.

Along with the team award, Economic Development Director Stacy Brown was recognized for her work with the 2023 Economic Development Achievement Award.

26 | mywindsor | DECEMBER 2023

The award celebrates an economic practitioner’s achievements, including their commitment to personal professional development, success in development and retention of businesses within their community as well as furthering the profession in Colorado.

Brown is a graduate of the Economic Development Institute and has been a leader in the community for more than 24 years, with 12 of those serving Windsor.

During her career with the town, Brown has played an “integral role in attracting and retaining companies in the community and advocating to bring in more tourism dollars to Windsor, such as the Future Legends sports complex,” the town said in a press release.

As a result of her work, over tow million square-feet of space has been acquired for commercial businesses that will add over 3,000 jobs to the area in the near future, the press release reported.

The EDCC, founded in 1976, is the “state’s premier economic development resource, representing the interests of Colorado’s public and private sector and promoting “effective, responsible economic development practices across the state.”

For more information about the EDCC, go to edcconline.org.

The Colorado Municipal Clerks Association recently honored Windsor Town Clerk Karen Frawley with CMCA Clerk of the Year award for the medium municipality category.

The honor is the CMCA’s highest award and recognizes “outstanding contributions to a municipality and commitment to continuous education for the profession by a municipal clerk,” the town said in a press release. Awards are presented to clerks in small, medium and large municipalities across the state.

Frawley was awarded during the organization’s annual conference on Oct. 17-20 in Snowmass.

“Karen represents the very best of the profession, from the keeping official minutes to running flawless elections,” said Windsor Town Manager Shane Hale. “Her oversight of a special election this year illustrates her contributions to the community.”

Along with her normal duties, Frawley dedicates time to earning her Master Clerk Certificate, hosting and speaking at Lunch N’ Learns, participating in the Athenian Leadership Society and teaching Trainthe-Trainer courses.
