Ask the Handy Woman! with Kheli Mason
D-U-C-T, Or D-U-C-K?
It’s spelled D-U-C-T, not D-U-C-K, right? Not so fast. As I was researching the origins of this ubiquitous and arguably the most useful product known to humanity, I stumbled upon the most interesting facts. One of which is that, indeed, the product now known as duct tape today started out as “Duck Tape” in World War II. Like some of the adhesives I wrote about last month, the military has been quite instrumental in many of the

Mayor Pro Tem Runs A Tight Ship
By Joseph Lekarczyk
In the interest of full disclosure, let it be known that the author of this article is married to the Mayor.
With Mayor Julie Van Domelen en route to Africa, Mayor Pro Tem Kirk Udovich got a chance to bang the gavel at Monday evening’s Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting. It was the first “real” meeting for the newly elected Board, where they actually got to “take care of business.” And, things went smoothly for Udovich, once the emergency flashflood-warning test announcement stopped interrupting his efforts to open the proceedings.

About Town with LaVern Johnson, May 3, 2012
Tuesday was May Day! A day when we used to put a May basket of flowers on a person’s doorstep, ring the bell, and run. Tim Kelling remembers me chasing him down when he was a kid of about nine years old, and I caught him! He said I was a fast runner! Those were the “Good Old Days.” Now, on May Day we enjoy the spring flowers and weather but no baskets that I am aware of.

Rain, rain, rain, we need rain. It seems to rain all around us, but not here. Last Thursday a lacrosse game in Windsor got rained out, and it rained in Longmont Friday night (quite hard), but no rain here. Although it has been a nice spring, we need rain!Login to read more: About Town with LaVern Johnson, April 26, 2012

Another week gone by, and it was really nice to have the rain. The blossoms around the Lyons area are really beautiful - trees, jonquils, tulips, crocus, violets, lilacs, spirea, etc. Those pink and yellow blossoms really add to the beauty. Of course, we know those red crabapple blossoms will bring loads of little apples falling everywhere. Everything has its drawbacks. But let’s enjoy the blossoms now.

Roads Traveled With Linda L. Osmundson
For the next daytrip suggestion, I’ll concentrate on historic Georgetown. A long time ago when my husband and I were dating, we’d go skiing then stop on the downhill drive from Eisenhower Tunnel in Georgetown for dinner. By the time we ate a bite, the heavy traffic had cleared away and it was smooth driving into Denver.
