Forging luxury and legacy
Corbin MacLeod, who started his business, MacLeod Lux, in mid-April is shown waxing a grilling utensil known to barbecue enthusiasts as a pigtail flipper. He said the tool is used to flip meat effectively and easily, and it’s a testament to a blacksmith’s skill for fine tapers, specific shapes and specific geometry. This includes the ability to taper a length in a thick piece into a rather thin piece and then create a very specific bend at the end where, if it’s too tight or too long, it won’t work effectively.

A Modern-Day Blacksmith
Grand Junction’s MacLeod Lux provides handcrafted luxury blacksmithing
Tim Harty The Business Times
Spend an hour with Corbin MacLeod, and be prepared to walk away impressed.
Because he makes an impression. Ask him a simple question, and be prepared for a complex answer that could veer into family, philosophy and faith. He’ll talk about soul and connection, brotherhood, community and charity.
MacLeod is 20 years old, and of all things he’s a blacksmith. Not the kind that showed up in Old West cowboy movies making horseshoes or farm implements and repairing wagon wheels. Rather, he’s a modern-day, metal-working artist who started his own business, MacLeod Lux, in midApril and soon after was adorning the railings at the Western Slope Vietnam War Memorial in Fruita with some of his handiwork.
The Lux in the business name stands for luxury, and that’s an important distinction, one MacLeod made clear in a text message to ensure an accurate description of his business. It read as follows:
“MacLeod Lux is a luxury blacksmithing brand based in Grand Junction, Colorado. We craft legacy tools — forged steel products that reflect timeless values, discipline and generational excellence. Every piece is handcrafted with a focus on honor, heritage and purpose — blending historical craftsmanship with modern luxury. While our brand is rooted in Christian values, we lead with quality, not slogans — letting the work speak for itself.”
Clearly, if he wasn’t so good at shaping metal into knives, swords, tools, utensils and art, he could have gone into marketing.
He comes by his career choice via family and fascination with the work, which he views as an adventure that is difficult and therefore rewarding, fulfilling.
MacLeod said his generation gets viewed as one that spends all of its time on smart phones and fails to see the world around it. MacLeod will dispute that.
“So, big thing about our generation, you know, we watch you,” he said. “And I did at an early age learn a lot about being constructive and building through my dad, and getting to make things from scratch. So, fixing the fence out back or fixing something that’s
broken on the house, if that’s irrigation or a sprinkler head or a little stuff like that, those small mechanics and getting to fix or build things was really fun as a young kid.”
Then, he thinks it was about age 12 or 13 that he went to Cross Orchards Historic Site, part of Grand Junction’s Museums of the West, and another encounter further embedded blacksmithing in his mind.
“I had watched some blacksmithing on YouTube a little bit here, and so I knew kind of what it was at the time,” he said. “But at the Cross Orchards, they actually have a little blacksmith shop there on site, and there were some guys working in it on one of the festivals that they were having. And it just lit me up, and I guess God kind of pushed me towards it. One of them invited me in without even asking to do some blacksmithing, and I still have the pictures, which is great to look back to.”
A lot of skill has been honed since that day, he said, “but it definitely fired off the journey for learning from people and then going forward with my own adventures, doing stuff that I’m not comfortable with. And it’s a hard thing to do sometimes, you know, swinging a heavy hammer and getting burnt once in a while. So, I guess in that way, too, it also gives me a pretty good challenge to look forward to all the time.”
Getting to where he is now also involved loss and being lost. MacLeod’s dad, Lenard MacLeod, died about two years ago, and that led to introspection and realization. And no reporter is going to say it any better than MacLeod did himself, when he spoke the following:
“I ended up in this position of being lost. My dad was a bagpiper and he led a band here in town, the Rocky Mountain Scots, and I was a part of that. And so a lot of my life was oriented towards wanting to make my dad proud, if it was the blacksmithing or the bagpiping or helping out at the house.

If you relocate, they will come
Jennies Playhouse & Jump Zone reopened in a new location after
Tim Harty The Business Times
Jennifer Montoya’s excitement to finally reopen her children’s playhouse in Grand Junction, which she did on May 24 with Jennies Playhouse & Jump Zone, was tempered by an equal and opposite emotion: fear.
Montoya said it had been 15 months since she had to close her business inside Mesa Mall in February 2024, because the mall’s corporate owners decided the space where Jennies Playhouse resided for nearly five years would be better served by a retail store, Five Below.
And the road back was much longer than expected and filled with setbacks and frustration, which she detailed on Facebook throughout the search for a new home. Suffice it to say: It was far from child’s play.
So, as Opening Day approached with only minimal notification to the public about her new location at 2830 North Ave., Montoya said she feared the worst.
“It just took so long,” she said. “So, when we actually were able to finally reopen, there was so much fear, because I only gave one, three-day notice that I was doing a grand opening. I wasn’t for sure how many people were going to show up. And then you have the fear of: You put so much time, effort, love, sweat, blood and tears into this, and what if people come in and they just look around and are like, ‘Wow, that’s it?’ So there was a lot of fear as to what others, I guess, how they would perceive it.
15 months away
“And it was emotional that day we had the grand opening, because at 10 a.m., when we opened, I mean, people just started flooding in, and so many familiar faces, and just so many congratulations, and ‘we’re so happy you’re back and so happy you stuck through it.’
“And it was ... yeah, I wanted to cry.”
To be clear, she meant tears of joy.
What Montoya forgot to balance her fear with was remembrance of how much people loved her previous business. Because they loved it. And she did know that.
“For a lot of parents, this is a special place where they can bring their kids,” Montoya said. “I mean, there were so many families that told me how every time they’d go into the mall, their kid would be like, ‘I want to go to the playhouse. I want to go over to the jump zone,’ because people knew I was a jump zone.”

Former planning commissioner advises GJ City Council: Rebuild public trust
Brandon Leuallen The Business Times
Following months of public backlash regarding the controversial Fourth and Fifth Street redesign, longtime Planning Commission member Keith Ehlers urged Grand Junction City Council to examine how future projects are planned. He recommended the councilors rebuild public trust and avoid projects causing the same level of controversy.
Ehlers, who also contributed to the city’s 2020 comprehensive plan, said the public response throughout the project highlights a disconnect between staff interpretations and the community’s actual priorities.
During the meeting when the newly seated council reversed its earlier decision to completely end the Fourth and Fifth Street pilot program, Ehlers, an Orchard Mesa resident, noted the importance of Fifth Street for connectivity for those coming from Orchard Mesa. He pushed back on divisive rhetoric, rejecting the idea that views on the project can be reduced to being either for or against safety or bikes.
Rather than further debating design details, Ehlers focused on how the city could avoid such controversies in the future.
“I’ll shift away from the design and get more into an interest of trying to de-escalate a little bit and focus more on: How do we make this better for next time?” he said.
Ehlers argued the backlash showed the planning process itself may be flawed.
“What this process has revealed is that there is a major discrepancy and a variation of perspectives on how the Bike and Ped Plan and comments within the comprehensive plan have been interpreted,” he said. “I would ask that you consider very deliberately issuing some directives to staff, or whomever, to go back and revisit the Bike and Ped Plan.”
He also addressed a common sentiment from project supporters, who encouraged the public to “let the professionals design these things.” But Ehlers said community skepticism may stem from a lack of alignment between staff decisions and public sentiment.
Remedying that can start with better data, “such as what is really our community’s appetite for these things,” he said.
In an interview Ehlers pointed out the city’s 2020 comprehensive plan, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, had limited public input. He said the plan reported a little more than 2,100 “engagement responses” in a city of nearly 65,000 people. Ehlers believes that numbr is too low compared to other cities. For example, the city of Fruita’s comprehensive plan received more than 4,000 engagements out of 13,395 citizens.
Ehlers also noted a significant number of the 2,140 engagements may have come from the same individuals engaging through multiple channels.
The plan itself clarifies: “Across all outreach formats including in person, online
and immersive outreach, there have been a total of 2,140 engagement responses, each representing an instance of public participation within the planning process for one Grand Junction. The term ‘engagement response’ is used to acknowledge that an individual participant may engage with the planning process more than once. For example, a business owner may have attended the business workshop as well as the community workshop and may have additionally taken an online questionnaire.”
Ehlers also questioned the safety data used to justify the Fourth and Fifth Street redesign, calling it outdated and vague.
“It’s very negligible as to how to identify these bike and pedestrian incidents. What was the real problem that we were trying to solve?” he said.
Asked to elaborate, he explained: “The data has marks on a map saying there was an incident. That’s it. It doesn’t break down what happened or how it happened.”
He also pointed out Fifth Street ranked 53rd on the list of priorities in the city’s Bike and Ped Plan, far from the top of the list.
At the end of the meeting, Mayor Cody Kennedy acknowledged Ehlers’ comments.
“Thank you, Mr. Ehlers. I want to acknowledge what you brought up about the discrepancy in how people interpret the plans, whether it’s the Bike and Ped Plan or the Comprehensive Plan, and that’s fair,” Kennedy said. “I think that’s something that’s been highlighted by this whole process.”
Kennedy agreed better community engagement and updated data will be essential moving forward.
“I also agree with your suggestion that, moving forward, we need to be more intentional about checking in with the community on what their appetite really is when it comes to these kinds of infrastructure changes,” he said. “That may mean directing staff to revisit the Bike and Ped Plan or ensuring the next Comp Plan update includes much more communitydriven clarity on trade-offs between vehicular and bike/pedestrian travel.”
Kennedy added, “As for the data, we’ve heard from a lot of people tonight that the safety data being used feels outdated. I can tell you, as a council, we want to make decisions based on accurate and current information, so I hear you on that.”
Kennedy acknowledged the process had its flaws, but he emphasized the council’s goal of making practical, community-focused decisions.
“This process hasn’t been perfect,” he said. “But I do hope what people take away from this meeting is that we’re trying to reframe things and make decisions that aren’t ideological, but practical and communityfocused. We’re going to continue to have disagreements on what the best path forward is, but if we can engage the public in a way that builds trust and gets better data and clearer direction, that’s going to help all of us.”
More racks mean more fabric to feel
Clubb’s Fabrics purchased fixtures from now-shuttered Joann, continues to increase offerings in Delta store
Tim Harty The Business Times
The end of May officially brought an end to fabric and craft retailer JoAnn at Mesa Mall in Grand Junction, and like many area fabric-store owners, Hartland Clubb was saddened by the national chain’s demise.
“We considered the staff at Joann and the other people that shop there as friends and colleagues, because even though they’re competitors, a lot of our customers shop both stores, and that made the market larger,” said Clubb, who along with his wife, Michelle, owns Clubb’s Fabrics, 417 Main St. in Delta. “But hopefully we can take advantage of the opportunity for more sales, and that’ll improve our store and improve the way we serve our customers, because it gives us opportunity to add inventory and create broader selections of things.”
In the mix of things being added are some fixtures Clubb purchased from JoAnn, primarily its fabric racks, which Clubb’s Fabrics will put to good use.
“They had a number of fabric racks that suited our purposes better than what we were using for a couple of reasons,” Clubb said.
“One, they hold more fabric. And two, they’re on wheels, so it makes it easy for us to change up the displays and roll them around. JoAnn’s hardly ever did that, but they were still on wheels, and so we hope to take advantage of that.
“Other than that, it’s not really gonna change the store that much, except it’ll just give us space for more fabric.”
Clubb said store fixtures in general are expensive, and he was able to buy the ones from Joann for about one-tenth of the price of new racks.

Continued from Page 4
The ability to jump around remains. There are bounce houses and slides, including an 18-foot slide.
“That’s been pretty popular,” Montoya said on Day 7 of Jennies Playhouse being open. “Kids love slides.”
She admits she was worried about the size of the location, which sits at the east end of Eastgate Shopping Center, where CarpetLand used to reside. The space is about 1,000 square feet larger than the mall location was, and Montoya wondered and worried about how she would fill it.
She figured it out.
“We have four birthday-party sections now instead of only two,” Montoya said. “We have expanded on pretend play. We have 10 unique different play areas.”
Montoya’s husband, Rubel Montoya, built the playhouses, which have themes such as a grocery store, health center, ice cream shop, home, backyard area, etc.
The most common ages of children at Jennies Playhouse are 2 to 5 years old, but they can be as young as 1 or as old as 12. And all of them must wear socks.
With mostly toddlers/pre-schoolers populating the place, Montoya said imaginative play is her business’s focus, and that’s why it’s located at the front of the business space, greeting people when they enter.
“The imagination is such a powerful tool, and it’s so crucial for development, for growth of a child,” Montoya said. “Here, kids can come in as an only child, and there’s always other kids to play with. And because of the pretend play and the way it’s
set up, they have to socialize with each other, and then they start playing with each other, and they start making new little friends. And so they just learn so much. They learn about sharing and socializing and just using their imagination.”
It is clear in Montoya’s eyes and voice as she speaks about her business that it means the world to her to be able to provide it.
“I just have a passion for children,” she said. “I mean, truthfully, I would rather have a conversation with a child than with an adult. Children are so innocent, and they are being developed. … Everything that’s been instilled in them their entire life, it’s still so brand new, and they’re at that point where they can actually learn. And if you can plant a seed in a child’s brain, just a seed, and they can make it grow throughout their life, then you have accomplished something.”
It means so much to her now, because imaginative play meant so much to Montoya as a child. She said it literally saved her life.
“I had a rough childhood growing up, and my imagination got me through, like, all the tough times,” she said. “It was my imagination of possibilities and just kind of going into my own head and just making a better situation in my head, and it got me through everything.”
The overarching lesson she wants to impart is that the mind is such a powerful tool, and imaginative play helps develop it. Watching television is no substitute.
“You need to learn to harness it and to really just allow it to grow and blossom,” she said. “And so that’s one thing that I really hope to do here is that.
“And it’s, you know, it’s not like a school where we sit down and teach or anything like that. The kids just go and play on their own. But just to be in those situations, in the little pretend playhouses, and to go through with their imagination, you know, hopefully it just kind of sparks that.”

Clubb’s

“We were glad to get these,” he said, “because they’re heavy. We like the idea that they were made in the United States, and we’re recycling something that would’ve otherwise just gone to scrap metal.”
Clubb also bought a measuring table from JoAnn and said, “That will help us sell more decorator fabrics. We do carry a pretty good selection of the decorator fabrics for outdoor-type things, that you fix some outdoor furniture with, and some indoor things. And we do a lot of business in vinyl upholstery that people use to restore cars and RVs.”
Picking up a few things from Joann is just incidental, though, in the big picture for Clubb’s Fabrics.
“That’s where our business started actually,” Clubb said. “When I started carrying fabrics about 50 years ago in our Ben Franklin stores, we specialized in apparel. In those days, people made clothing for themselves, because it was either better or a better value than the clothing they could find on the rack at the store. And they did it to save money.
“Now we do it as an art, and we do it because we can’t find a fitting, or it’s difficult to shop online for clothing. And so the ladies make a lot of their own clothing simply because it’s better, better clothing than they could find on a rack anywhere nearby.”
“We know it’s a drive, but it’s not a bad drive. We have lots of other things in Delta to look at, see and do.
— Hartland Clubb, Owner of Clubb’s Fabrics
Clubb said he and Michelle closed their craft and variety store in Delta in 2023 and kept the fabric store to focus on it.
Clubb said he’s getting old – he’s 71 years old – and he can’t keep up with everything like he once did, but he’s not ready to retire. He and Michelle are busy making the 6,000-square-foot fabric store better, adding to the appeal that has made it a destination for shoppers on the Western Slope who quilt, knit, make clothes, etc.
“We do offer a lot of quilting fabrics,” Hartland Clubb said. “We carry presently about 12,000 SKUs of fabrics. We have over 1,000 batiks, for example, and so we try to offer a variety on hand, because people that work with fabric want to see it, feel, touch it, look at it in comparison.
“We have tables in the store where they can lay it out together and lay out a whole quilt if they want to. We carry a large selection of notions, meaning the accessories, the threads, the tapes, trims, all kinds of tools, scissors, cutters and rulers. Quilters use specialized rulers to make a lot of the blocks, and we try to have a good supply of those.”
He said Clubb’s Fabrics is stocking more apparel fabrics, too.
Clubb said the store will carry some new polyesters, like what is used in some sports apparel.
He added, “We even have wedding fabric, where you would want to buy or alter or repurpose another garment or something that you would use now, bring it up to style.”
With what Clubb’s Fabrics has to offer and JoAnn out of business, Clubb hopes a few more Grand Junction shoppers will find their way to Delta and his store.
“We know it’s a drive, but it’s not a bad drive,” he said. “We have lots of other things in Delta to look at, see and do. We have people that regularly come from the area, all over the area to come to the restaurants here and other stores like Davis Clothing and Tara’s (Boutique). McKnight’s Jewelry, I know, has a kind of a following around the area.”
If new customers at Clubb’s Fabrics are like the existing ones, Clubb knows what to prepare for.
“We kind of laugh when we talk to our customers,” he said. “They love to buy fabric from us, and we tell them that the reason they buy fabric from us – and, I suppose, it is a little tongue in cheek – but the reason they buy fabric from us is so we can buy more fabric. And that’s what they come to us for.”

There’s more and better green(s) in Tiara Rado’s future
Craig Hall
The Business Times
There’s an adage in golf known as “the rub of the green,” which refers to “an accidental or unpredictable influence on the course or position of the ball.” And while most golfers experience this phenomenon at some point in nearly every round they play, the City of Grand Junction was faced with literal “rub of the green” on not just one of its greens, but rather three of them.
As stated by course management with some humor in its May 26 newsletter to golfers on its email list, “Thanks in large part to Mother Nature’s long, dry humor over the winter, along with an early Spring split personality, Tiara Rado Golf Course will be temporarily closing the greens on Holes #10, #11 and #13 for revegetation and maintenance beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, May 27.”
While the effects of weather on putting surfaces can be predicted, the weather in western Colorado is as unpredictable an event as almost anything that can occur from players on its golf courses. Yet, with the course busier than ever, along with already beginning the seasons of its golf leagues, this
was no easy decision to make.
“The real problem was the ground temperature wasn’t high enough for the seed to germinate on the greens. That’s another way the weather wasn’t cooperating,” said Tim Tafoya, head professional at Tiara Rado. “So, we had to make the decision to give those three greens some time to let the seeding take hold.”
Once made, Tiara Rado staff aerated, overseeded, fertilized and top-dressed the closed greens, while watering them every few hours to enhance germination of the bent grass seeding, which is also more drought resistant. The staff also mowed “temporary greens” for play in front of the roped off greens undergoing the reseeding.
“I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the reseeding is coming along, especially with the recent rain, which helps a lot. We do think we’ll have the complexes open for Father’s Day weekend,” Tafoya said.
It now appears there’s a greener golf season for players at Tiara Rado, and thanks to its staff, that’s no rub-of-thegreen accident.

Blacksmithing
Continued from Page 2
“So, I felt relatively lost after his passing, and I found myself in the position of a lot of young men, not having a purpose, not having that want to go out and do things anymore. And so in my off time when I came back home from my studies at school and got done with my homework or whatever else, there was definitely a missing part. And so I filled in that part a lot with adventuring, you know, if it was hiking around town and that.
“But something about blacksmithing dug deep and was different to everything. It just, it couldn’t be replaced with games or with friends, and so it really spoke to me in the want to do something that was hard, that was challenging ... getting to do something that was hard, that was really hard to do. There wasn’t a lot of people teaching it. There wasn’t a lot of information on it.
“I guess as all young men kind of want to have, I had an adventure ahead of me, so I’ve been on that adventure ever since. And so I decided if this was something that was speaking so closely to me and was, you know, making me a better man and making me stronger and was growing that adventure, that I would go forward.
“And I guess one of the biggest reasons why I started a company out of it was while I was doing my hobby, I met these other young men that were struggling, same with me, struggling to find a passion, to find a career in all of the 9 to 5 world we live in now. You know, we’re working at McDonald’s or whatever … it doesn’t fill that passion to be a better man, to help people, to make things and fill that art part of you.
“And so I got to bring them into the forge and teach them how to blacksmith. ... I was posting online at the time, getting to talk to people in the DMs or in the little chats and stuff, and getting to learn about their adventure with it. And getting to inspire them to adventure with it definitely led me to stop being a hobbyist, stop focusing on how it kind of fulfilled myself and learned that I can really help people through this. And I can help bring people into a community and help young men and women, bring them to something that’s hard to do, but through that struggle, it helps create character.
“And so that’s, I kind of just felt this calling, definitely through my faith with the Lord to build a business out of it. And so it’s been a good adventure. It’s been scary at times, but it’s definitely been fulfilling.”
Remember the first few paragraphs of this story: Be prepared to be impressed. Be prepared for a complex answer to a simple question.
That’s your modern-day blacksmith in Grand Junction, a 20-yearold who sees his work with deeper meaning than anyone would expect. Thus, who he is pervades his work. So, when a customer comes to him to make a knife or a set of utensils for grilling, they’re going to have a conversation, because MacLeod wants to understand you, then make you something that you will find deeply meaningful.
That’s why he speaks about a preciousness to the work he does and the items he makes, and it’s what separates his products from those a machine can make.
What MacLeod makes, “It can’t be done with machines,” he said. “As much as I would like to, I can’t fully reproduce an item. Like, if I have a knife, sure I can make the other knife look pretty much just like that one. But there’s little nuances. There’s a soul to it. There’s a beauty and an art to every hammer strike into it, every file I’ve used on it and then every little whittle on the handle or the holes that I’ve drilled, and so that also brings a beauty.
“That brings that luxury to it, that idea of we’re turning away from this modern entity that we’re slowly going towards with all these (Artificial Intelligence) making pictures and, you know, kind of turning this idea that, ‘Do we really need artists anymore?’ And so I think blacksmithing definitely is one of those things that says, ‘Yes, we do.’
“Machines can’t do this, and this is something that requires you to give a part of your life to. I’ve been doing it for nine years, and I’m definitely still learning every day. And so it definitely takes that life. It gives that soul to the items you’re making. And so it speaks to that part of the soul that needs art, that needs to tell a story, that needs to create.”
Nearly two months into MacLeod Lux’s existence, MacLeod remains the company’s sole blacksmith, working from home, but he expects both to change. He anticipates having a large shop and employees who share his vision about blacksmithing, and he doesn’t think he’ll be waiting long for either.”
“Here in the future, when that shop is up, and we can build that environment for people to come into, we definitely want to have
people that want to make their life a part of this, come to a shop that they can do it,” he said. “We’re not planning to be small for very long. I want to take this as far as possible, which I guess is why I’m sacrificing so much of that adventurous young life for this.”
MacLeod said he doesn’t want MacLeod Lux to be a “little company in town,” because through his business he wants to help as many people as possible.
“I want to spread this as far as possible,” he said.
MacLeod knows he can’t do it alone; he needs other people, a community working together. Then, watch out.
“I completely believe,” he said, “that this can be something that grows into something completely amazing.”

WHAT HE REALLY LOVES TO MAKE? KNIVES!
When asked what items are the most common for him to make, MacLeod Lux founder/owner/ operator Corbin MacLeod said he really liked that question, because “there’s not a lot of common” in blacksmithing. That’s because “you can make so much stuff.”
He then took his answer in a different direction and offered the following about knives:
“Something I love and enjoy to do is definitely knives. It’s such an expansive art. It’s stuff that it takes so much time, and it takes so much love and compassion to make a knife for somebody.
“And it’s this turn away from all of these milled knives, all of these machine-made knives and these knives that, you know, are going to dull tomorrow or are going to get rusted and break in a few days. But to take that time and know that what I’m making is going to last a generation or more, we definitely want to make knives that last generations.
“We want to go beyond this new consumer diet of, ‘Well, this thing’s going to break in a little bit. It better be cheap. It better be able to be replaced really easy.’ And we turn away from that. We say, ‘No.’ We say, ‘We want to make something that’s going to create a story for you.’
“I think one of the biggest things was getting knives from my dad. He was a blacksmith, of course, too, but he also had this knife collection, and there was always a story with each of the knives he had. And it was because it was passed from generations, and we don’t want to see that lost amongst people.
We definitely want to make stuff that is going to last a long time.”

What does “At Will” employment really mean?
Over my 22 years of both employer and employee-side employment practice, I have counseled on or evaluated on hundreds of employee terminations. When I ask, “Why do you want to terminate this employee?” more times than I can remember, the employer responds, “Because they are at-will.”
Is this a correct understanding of the “at-will” doctrine? What does “atwill employment” mean?
Before the early- to mid-19th century, the relationship between the employer and the employee was addressed under age-old principles governing the master-servant relationship. As late as 1823, it was a crime for an employee to terminate their relationship with their master prematurely. Employees who may have joked that “this job is worse than being in jail” could really test that theory. But on the flip side, the employer was expected to retain the employee on at least a year-to-year basis.
The at-will doctrine was a byproduct of the industrial revolution in England and the United States, when manufacturing and mechanization required an adaptable and skilled workforce, and the employer-employee relationship became a simple economic relationship. In 1877, H.G. Wood authored authoritative “A Treatise On The Law Of Master And Servant.” He declared “with us the rule is inflexible, that a general or indefinite hiring is prima facie hiring at-will…”
The at-will doctrine provides that an employer may terminate an employee at any time for any reason, and the employee may leave employment with no reason.
This flexible doctrine remained the law for some time, but soon the law carved out exceptions to the at-will doctrine. The rise of organized labor led to contractual protection for employees against capricious or unjustified termination. The rise of civil-service protections provides government employees procedural and substantive protection before they may be terminated. And most
recently, the law has protected employees from adverse action, including termination, because of the employee’s inclusion in classes protected by anti-discrimination laws.
In Colorado, it is illegal to terminate an individual in most cases because they engage in legal off-duty activities, engage in activities protected by law such as filing workers’ compensation claims, or in other circumstances where termination would violate public policy.
If at-will employment started out as a strong highway, it is now filled with potholes of which the employer must be aware and circumnavigate. So, how can the employer wishing to do so preserve the at-will relationship with its employees.
First, understand that while the at-will doctrine allows terminations for no cause or any legal cause, the at-will doctrine is not a reason to terminate. Numerous employers have conceded that while an employee is not performing, they have not adequately documented the performance or behavior issues.
Unfortunately, the next question is often, “Can we just call the termination a layoff and move forward?” My answer is that this is only an option if the employer wants to face a charge of discrimination when they backfill the position, especially if the employee recently engaged in protected activity or is in a protected class. An employer is better off conceding that they did not sufficiently document or address employee issues than to skirt them and invite scrutiny.
Second, an employer can arguably terminate anyone for no reason or even a bad reason so long as it is a legal, truthful and factual reason. For example, the CEO could one day decide to terminate all employees who do not like the Denver Broncos. While this may be legal, if the employee can show that the employer terminated only Bronco haters in protected statuses, the employee faces a long, rocky road answering a charge of discrimination.
Third, check handbooks and policies to see if you are promising specific procedures or processes before you terminate an employee. Ignoring your own policies raises the specter of a hidden, illegal reason for a termination.
Fourth, never investigate poor performance or
behavior without giving the employee an opportunity to share their story. This avoids terminating an employee where the employer may have only part of the story. And the employee’s justification may even provide information to support the termination.
Fifth, similar to the point above, if you wish to provide your employees some protection, set up simple opportunities for the employee to be heard before termination. For example, a policy allowing an employee five days in which to state in writing why the termination is not justified provides both parties protection. Employees who are provided a say before termination are less likely to pursue legal remedies. And even if the employee takes legal action such as a charge of discrimination, the employer looks reasonable for providing the employee the opportunity to justify their behavior or performance before termination.
Finally, avoid conclusory terms and buzzwords when explaining to an employee why you are terminating them. “Not a good fit,” “not meeting standards,” or “not a team player” communicate nothing to the employee or a third party later examining the legality of a termination. What did the employee do or say that causes you to determine they have a bad attitude or are not a team player.
Terminating employees always raises the possibility of a legal challenge. Good documentation of the employee’s performance and the steps the employer took to correct poor performance or behavior are the best defense to a legal challenge to a termination.
The Employers Council makes available to its members resources on performance documentation and preparing for terminations. And Employers Council consulting and enterprise-level members may speak directly with our human resources professionals and employment attorneys at any time for advice before terminating an employee.

Grand Valley Connects marks 3 years of connecting people to services
Ryan Pomeroy
Grand Valley Connects, a cornerstone initiative of Mesa County Public Health, is celebrating its third anniversary.
Built on the understanding that healthy families are the foundation of a resilient workforce and robust local economy, the program serves as a vital connector between residents and critical wellbeing services. Over the past three years, it has successfully linked hundreds of individuals and families to the support they need, contributing significantly to community stability and long-term economic health.
Grand Valley Connects offers personalized, one-onone support to individuals who may be struggling to find help with essential needs. Resource navigators work with community members to assess their situations and connect them to services. These services include, assistance with groceries, utilities, childcare costs, mental health counseling, health insurance enrollment and employment and disability services.
“Accessing services can be complicated,” said Fallon Knez, Grand Valley Connects supervisor. “But with support from Grand Valley Connects, community members can more easily navigate those systems and get the help they need. Sometimes, that help can mean the difference between economic stability and struggling to put food on the table.”
Every person who reaches out to Grand Valley Connects is paired with a resource navigator who listens, assesses needs and researches options. Together, they create a plan and make connections to resources. The resource navigator follows up regularly at 30, 60 and 90 days until needs are met.
Since its launch in 2022, the program has seen a steady increase in demand. In its first year, 300 community members reached out for assistance. In 2024, that number had tripled to 900.
“We have helped hundreds of community members with diverse needs,” Knez said. “For example, we have helped residents connect to programs to have grab bars installed in their homes. We have helped people apply for housing assistance and Lifeline cell phones. Our resource navigators have assisted in finding counselors that accept someone’s specific insurance.”
In response to growing needs, Grand Valley Connects partnered with Mesa County Public Libraries to expand its in-person services. The program offers weekly walk-in hours at the Central Library in downtown Grand Junction and the Clifton Library branch. Walk-ins are accepted every Tuesday at both locations from 1 to 5 p.m. on a firstcome, first-served basis. This makes it easier for residents without reliable phone or Internet access to get help.
Community members can contact Grand Valley Connects by calling 970-683-2663 or visiting grandvalleyconnects.com. A simple referral form is available online to begin the process.
By connecting your employees and their families to vital services, businesses can help foster stability, reduce workplace stress and contribute to a stronger, more resilient community.
Reducing the everyday stresses that can affect job performance benefits not only individual employees but also strengthens the overall health, morale and resilience of the workplace and the broader community.

A Senator’s perspective on 75th General Assembly
In January 2025, at the start of the 75th General Assembly, the Senate Republicans unveiled a suite of bills that, if passed, would have given the average Colorado family over $4,500 in annual savings.
The Colorado Senate Republicans, together, took to the West Foyer of the Capitol building and unveiled a striking visual: a tower of 4,500 one-dollar bills, representing the average amount a Colorado family could save every year if our legislative package was adopted.
It was a simple, powerful message: We were there to fight for Colorado families, to ease their financial burden and return more of their hard-earned money back to their own pockets.
Unfortunately, the majority party chose a different path. Rather than standing with us to prioritize the financial wellbeing of the people of this state, they chose to kill our bills, one by one, and prioritize their own political agenda.
The first bill we offered, SB131, would have brought down housing costs by making critically overdue changes to our state’s construction-defects laws, and by cutting crushing regulation that has discouraged new housing construction. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
SB139 would have saved as much as $1,200 in annual savings on grocery and utility-bill costs. It would have cut several costly fees, such as Colorado’s delivery fee, garbage-disposal fee, shopping-bag fee, and electric and gas energy fees. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
Colorado could have expected to save $450 per year on transportation had the majority party not killed SB117. It would have eliminated fees Coloradans pay on fuel, passenger ride-share services, vehicle rentals and tires. It would have lowered the price of gasoline by as much as 20 percent per gallon by using existing funds to create a reformulated gasoline-rebate program. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
My bill, SB156, would have drastically slashed excessive regulations that are crushing Colorado’s economic prosperity. It would have repealed regulations created in SB22-193, SB20-204, and SB20-218, plus HB22-1362 and HB21-1198. And, while all but two testified in support of my bill, it died in committee on a party-line vote.
Our side of the aisle led efforts to reduce taxes for Coloradans and ensure the tax dollars that were being collected were being used efficiently. SB138 would have helped give Coloradans vital relief by reducing their income taxes beginning this year. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
SB136 would have helped our state’s seniors exempt Social Security and state retirement benefits from taxation. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
And SB135 would have created a government efficiency authority tasked with identifying inefficient government practices and making recommendations to the State Legislature to ensure the peoples’ tax dollars were being utilized as efficiently as possible. It died in committee on a party-line vote.
As previously mentioned we also fought to cut regulatory burdens that have stagnated our economy and destroyed our economic vitality. Two examples of this included SB141, which would have revitalized the development of housing in our state by removing the excessive energy codes that small rural communities have been forced to abide by. And SB137 would have equipped Colorado businesses to respond to some of the crushing energy regulations created by the state. Both died in committee on a party-line vote.
While it was disappointing to see the majority party reject the hardships of Coloradans by killing our bills, it was our efforts that did ultimately secure several important and meaningful victories for the people of Colorado – wins that will, in real and tangible ways, begin to ease the burden on Colorado families and businesses. We were sometimes successful in pushing back against some of the most radical proposals that would have been harmful, costly or overly burdensome to Colorado families.
Had we not succeeded in stopping HB1302, Coloradans could have seen an increase in housing costs.
The cost of healthcare, which has reached unprecedented heights in Colorado, would have continued to increase had we not stopped SB198.
And, of course, had we not stopped SB162 and SB285, Coloradans would have been hit with yet another majority-created fee.
House Bills 1119 and 1277 and SB318 would have only further buried Colorado’s economic vitality had we not succeeded in stopping them.
And, of course, thanks to overwhelming pressure from our caucus and Colorado families, House Joint Resolution 1023, which would have used taxpayer dollars to sue the taxpayers — was never introduced in the Senate.
We may not have won every fight this session, but our commitment remains unchanged. We will continue to stand up for the people of Colorado. And we will keep pushing for policies that put you first.
What will it take for the people to realize the government can’t solve anything?
There are a couple of things I’ve written over the past few editions of The Business Times I can’t seem to shake. It’s not that I can’t shake them because some readers may not agree with them, but rather, they are more like eternal truths when it comes to politics.
I used a quote in an op-ed from the late, great P.J. O’Rourke about how democrats promise everything before getting elected, and Republicans say government doesn’t work and prove it after getting elected. And then, in my column I stated the plethora of new legislation our Colorado legislature passed this year, a number which is seemingly growing exponentially when it meets – which sadly is every year.
Did you know our state passed almost 500 new laws this year after proposing upwards of 1,000? And please tell me you do realize the truth in what was stated by O’Rourke about both of our political parties.
After all, why do you think they have us fighting over the smallest of things while they spend the largest amount of money and take away our freedoms left and right. (See what I did there?) The fact is the government is wholly incapable of delivering on its promises because its promises are flawed at their premises.
Mainly because much of what government wants to do the Constitution of the United States of America says the government can’t do. Then again, the people would have to understand the Constitution is a negative document based on what government can’t do. But since all of government has become our constitutional “experts,” the people have no good example to actually understand that.
Which brings me to another famous quote made in 1866 by a judge named Gideon J. Tucker, who proffered it about arbitrary or unpredictable actions of legislators in one of his decisions: “…no man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session.” I would add: Or after we elect a new president, governor, county commission or city council or go to federal court.
And today, the government proves it day in and day out, right in front of us.
I’ll begin with the latest rage known as the Department of Government Efficiency. First off, seriously with that name? It’s more absurd than anything Ayn Rand, Jerry Jenkins or Tim LaHaye could ever come up with. Because the last thing we want is the government to be more efficient at anything it does. And that’s because most of what it does is bad.
But like anyone else who goes into government with good intentions, Elon Musk had to learn the hard way that government is totally in favor of waste, fraud and abuse – just along party lines and agendas. After all, for the government to put into effect anything Elon found, Congress would have to vote on it. And tell me the last thing Congress approved that took away its ability to confiscate more money and give itself more power.
How about the bill with the worst title in history, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act? First off, the name alone should cause it to never be brought before Congress. But more proof is in how each side can argue over it on spending alone.
After all, how can Republicans say they cut spending by nearly 2 TRILLION dollars, and the democrats are (unbelievably) arguing against how it raises the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION dollars? Only in Washington, D.C., can such lunacy be argued by both sides as fiscal responsibility, especially when, given the chance, they’d use the very same arguments in opposite ways depending on who’s in power.
The federal government is bankrupt. Period. Yet it will try everything in the world except the one thing that would solve the problem: Shutting things down and cutting spending. Ironically, both things Elon was “fighting” for. He just fell for the lie that the government would do something about it. Elon was just another distraction for both sides while agendas drove forward.
Closer to home, we have Pontius Polis on his barnstorming tour, signing into law all the new legislation just passed, at different locations throughout the state. It’s odd how those locations are government funded. Odder is in how Pontius declares government is committed to “bringing down the cost” of this or that with these laws, and those costs have skyrocketed under unrestrained, democrat-party rule.
It’s the same here in Grand Junction. We elect a council to do this, and then it does that. I can’t wait to see how our new, “conservative” council advances the agenda of our votedout, radical, leftist council. Because that’s exactly what is going to happen.
It’s what always happens once politicians see they have the power to “fix” everything when money is no object. For the feds, just raise the debt ceiling. For democrat Colorado, just add some “fees” and get rid of TABOR. For the lost city of Grand Junction, just use some accounting tricks and buy this land or that building or get a “grant” paid for by “fees.”
You know what they call all of that in the real world? Extortion, money-laundering and influence peddling. Yet to government, it’s just “doing the people’s business.”
And that premise is why the government is always up in our business. They need us to pay for it.
In Christ and Freedom.

Sales taxes in Delta County were up 5.68 percent from 2023 to 2024, and the City of Delta’s sales and use taxes also saw growth, rising 5.25 percent. However, lodging taxes have remained relatively flat, falling minus-2.61 percent.
The unemployment rate estimate for Delta also increased from 5.4 percent in 2024 to 6.6 percent through April 2025. This is higher than the state average of 4.3 percent for 2024.
• In the Montrose County economic update, the main item Perry highlighted was the average unemployment rate for 2024 was 4.6 percent, while the average for the first quarter of 2025 is 5.6 percent.
He wrote, “Montrose unemployment has been trending up, matching the trend in Colorado.”
He added, “Industry data also shows healthcare has been the leading contributor to job gains over the past few quarters.”
