CCCFPD News – New Fire ChiefChris Reel – President CCCFPD BoardAs you may be aware from previous updates in the Moun-tain Messenger, the CCCFPD has been in the process of hiring a new paid chief. This move has become neces-sary due to the ever-increasing work load placed upon the Chief in carrying out the necessary duties of the office. Changes in regulations and policy at the national, state and local level have necessitated the evolution of the Chief’s role from a volunteer status to a full-time paid status. The hiring of a paid chief is an important element in the 5-year plan developed by the District in 2013. This move will provide our district with a more effective organization, allowing the Fire Chief to more thoroughly interact with adjacent districts, First Responder organizations, and the local community.The Fire Chief is responsible for implementing the rules, policies, and procedures established by the Board of Directors, and for carrying out the duties imposed on the

Fire Chief by federal, state and local laws, rules, regula-tions, codes, standards, and ordinances, including, but not limited to, the duties imposed by Colorado Special District Act, C.R.S. § 32-1-1002, applicable medical protocols, and the applicable Fire Code(s) and nationally recognized standards. The Fire Chief is responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day administration, operation, and finances of the District. The CCCFPD district encompasses over 52 square miles and serves approximately 7,000 people. The Department answers between 200-250 emergency calls per year with state-certified volunteer firefighters, including a federally certified wildland team. The Chief is respon-sible for an annual budget of approximately $500,000.00 that involves the operation of 4 stations and 15 pieces of specialized fire/emergency apparatus.Within the CCCFPD, the Fire Chief position is a leader of the department ensuring all operational aspects are per-formed to the highest standards. However, the Fire Chief must also be prepared and capable of performing the du-ties and responsibilities of a district firefighter ensuring a consistent level and quality of fire suppression, emergency rescue, hazardous materials, ambulance and emergency medical services. In today’s world, this requires the Fire Chief be available to respond with 24/7/365 availability.


• AC Service

On behalf of the entire department, the District Board thanks current Chief Joe Ceurvorst for his many years of dedicated service. Chief Ceurvorst has served the Coal Creek Canyon community for over 20 years on the department, the last 8 as our Chief. He has fostered the transition of our department to allow us to remain in conformance with the highest training and performance standards and was instrumental in the development of Colorado’s only volunteer department-based dedicated federally-certified volunteer wildland firefighting team. We sincerely appreciate his dedication to remain on the department as a volunteer and assist the District Board with the transition to a paid chief.The District Board formed a search committee tasked with setting the qualifications and duties, determining a sal-ary and benefits package, and advertising for and inter-viewing applicants. This committee was comprised of two Board members (President, Chris Reel and Director David Thompsen); current CCCFPD Chief Ceurvorst; past CCCFPD Chief Gene Rouse, current CCCFPD volunteer and Colorado Springs Fire Department member, Captain Dave Ney; Boulder County Sheriff’s office Sergeant of Emergency Services, Dave Booton; and CCCFPD Admin-istrative Assistant, Kathy Bremers. This team afforded a

wealth of perspective and experience as it relates to the requisite traits and qualifications of the Chief’s position. I extend a hearty thanks to all committee members for a job well done.The Board received interest from as far away as Illinois and received applications from several highly qualified candidates. While we knew we could make a great choice with any one of several candidates, at the same time this made our decision quite difficult.I am pleased to announce that an offer to become CCCF-PD’s new Chief has been accepted by Mr. Garret Ball. Garret has been a member of the CCCFPD since 2006, most recently serving as Lieutenant in charge of our Wildland Firefighting operations. Mr. Ball has also been employed since 2009 in the Boulder County Sheriff’s de-partment, currently serving as a Fire Operations Specialist. Garrett will assume the Chief’s role in early July 2016.Garrett brings exceptional technical and leadership skills to the position. He is an effective and articulate commu-nicator; a dedicated and values-driven individual; and is fully committed to his family, his career, and our commu-nity. Please join the District Board in welcoming Garret to his new role.

yon community. The Parade Grand Marshall will be Suzy Schemel, long-time canyon resident and supporter of ALL canyon events. Suzy and her husband Dave moved to CCC in 1976. She was first elected to the CCCIA Board of Directors in 1983 (Dave Gruchy, President). She has been the CCCIA Hall manager since 2004. Dave has been a member of Can-yon Cares since it began 8 years ago. So Suzy and Dave get to ride down Gross Dam Road in the back of a convertible this year.The Pancake breakfast proceeds go to support the CCCIA Scholarship Fund. Parade entries will have a “Wizard of Oz” theme this year—“There’s No Place Like Home”. Be cre-ative, join in the parade! Booths- vendors, organizations, and public information will be assembled on the hall parking lot. The CCCIA will be selling lunch – Burgers, Brats, Veggie Burgers, Hot Dogs.

We will require a group of volunteers to help set up for the 4th on Sunday evening (3rd) at 5:00 PM. We need to set up the BIG tent (20foot by 40 foot) and the smaller ‘band tent’. Then, there are the tables and chairs that are brought out of the hall basement and placed under the tent. And the pancake grill and the rest of the pancake breakfast set up. Any help would be appreciated and you can meet some nice folks and neighbors. Contact: Tom Mulvany—303-642-7121

What’s Brewing at Coal Creek Coffee...The building has sold, and we have a new landlord! Hope-fully, that means some maintenance items will finally be taken care of. If that’s the case, and we have ‘construction’ going on, please bear with us...it will mean good things are in store for all of us!If you are driving up/down the canyon weekday mornings, I’m sure you’ve seen our Summer Drive Thru ~~ Ethan sitting at a table at the end of the parking lot! Please stop by and tell him good morning and get your coffee without even having to get out of your car...it gets lonely out there for him.Summer is here, so we are doing our Friday Night Sup-pers again. We will have dinner beginning at 6pm for $8.95 (although the shop will remain open from 3-6pm), and we will have music when possible. So, if you are a musician, or know someone who is, and would like to ‘sing for your sup-per’, let us know and we’ll get you on the calendar. Please be sure to RSVP by Wednesday if you are coming, so we know how many we are cooking for...it’s really difficult to add to the list on Fridays! Just a few reminders: 1st Thursday night of each month is Book Club at 6:30 ~~ July is ‘The Boys in the Boat’ * 1st and 3rd Tuesday nights of each month -- Quilting -- 6-8pm* Friday Night Supper -- 6pm (RSVP’s due by Wednesday)

Coal Creek Canyon!! Are you gettin’ ready to Get Yer Burly On?? This year the Mountain Fest is going to be spectacular. If you’ve been around for a while you’ll notice that we changed the name from Mountain Folk Festival. The reason for that is that many people thought it was more “Folk Festival” and not about “Mountain Folk”. Mountain Fest is about all things “Mountain”: The people, the chores, the vehicles, the animals, the beauty, the odd-ity, the challenges. We celebrate it all! And we laugh until we cry doing it!! Full details at www.cccmountainfest.com.

Coal Creek Canyon Watershed Partnership to Offer Another Round of Private Well Water Quality TestingBy Jackie Daoust, Watershed Program Assistant

CCCWP had incredible response from the last private well water quality testing event in March. Over 50 households had their wells tested and were able to use their results to address

issues with bacterial contamination or high nitrates and uranium. We want to help provide opportunities for canyon residents to test their wells if they were not able to participate in the March event. In partnership with Jefferson County Public Health, CCCWP will again be offering 50 FREE basic well water contaminant tests for all Coal Creek Canyon Residents. The free sample testing will include the detection of coliform bacteria and nitrates. Regular price for these basic tests is $37.00. You will have the option to pay for additional uranium contaminant testing. CCCWP will have a booth at the Canyon 4th of July Festival. You can pick up your sample bottles and instructions on the 4th of July at the booth OR the following day, July 5th, at the CCCWP office (30509 Hwy 72, next to Coal Creek Coffee) from 10AM-4PM. Residents will need to drop off their collection bottles on July 6th from 7AM-Noon at the CCCWP office. CCCWP will then deliver the samples to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Laboratory for testing. These free tests will be available to ALL Coal Creek Canyon residents in ALL counties. Feel free to call us with any questions at (303) 586-1491. We look forward to seeing you at the Canyon 4th Fest!If you’d like to learn more about drinking water from household wells, sampling techniques, or other water quality questions, you can visit: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/water-testing

Trash Can Bears By Jan Waddington There were 23 Black Bear reports in the past month in Coal Creek Canyon - a few by phone, most by social media. Bears were everywhere - from Chute Drive, to Coal Creek Heights, from Spruce Canyon Circle and Butte Drive, to Wondervu. Some bears were just passing through and were caught on web cams. But another was after beehives - took the larvae and eggs but left 30 lbs. of honey. Still another scared a couple in a hot tub! The bears were different colors - from black to brown to cinnamon. Different sexes and ages showed up - from a one year old at Camp Eden, to mid-size on Butte Drive, to a very large bear - probably a male on Janelle Circle. A Sow, with two cubs, was seen just off Hwy. 72. A few bears were searching where bird feeders used to be but have been taken down for the summer. Others found feeders that were out of reach. Some were climbing trees or poles. They were also not exclusively nocturnal as they were seen at trash cans in broad daylight. One place they were not was Wondervu Cafe where a sturdy exclosure has been built for trash! Sadly for residents on Spruce Canyon Drive, a bear opened a car door and tore out the whole console where there was nothing to eat except a forgotten granola bar. Other bears were on decks but scared away by loud noises and lights. It is still a long time until hibernation so please try to keep the bears safe.

The only bobcats reported were healthy - they were seen at Copperdale/Ridge Road, and on Spruce Canyon Drive. Red Foxes continue to be making a come-back after a couple of years when their populations were in steep decline due to mange. They were noted on Nob Way, Copperdale, and Hummingbird Lane. Moose! They are hard to miss when they stop by - they are so big and never seem to be in a hurry. They were reported from Tunnel 19 Rd. and crossing Gap Rd. close to Golden Gate State Park. Mt. Lion - a young lion that still had its spots was seen on Pine, just off Copperdale. Was it the same one that showed up on Rudy Lane three days later? A marmot was reported again this month - found under a deck. Social media indicated they are more common in the canyon than previously noted. When we live with moose, bear, and mountain lions, the smaller but interesting animals sometimes aren’t spectacular enough to be mentioned. Thanks for staying in touch and call Jan (303-642-0926) with any wildlife questions or sightings, or post on Coal Creek social media giving a general location.

WATER WELL DRILLING & SERVICE

Low Water Production?Well Can Possibly Be Deepened!

THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, MEDICAID AND MEDICARE For those people who are covered by Medicare or Medicaid, there is no need to go online to enroll in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Your coverage under Medicare and Medic-

aid will remain the same with some improvement. The ACA is not replacing Medicare or Medicaid. A 100 page guide was sent to 52 million Medicare beneficiaries containing information on their coverage which can be found at http://www.medicare.gov/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf. Nothing will stop a Medicare beneficiary from signing up for an ACA plan, but if you do you will be double insured and you will not qualify for premium tax credits or subsidies offered to low income applicants.

There are many misconceptions about how the ACA will affect Medicare. Some information has indicated that Medicare beneficiaries will pay more for their medications under the ACA, but this is not true. The Part D premium will increase slightly for Medicare beneficiaries with higher incomes (individuals with annual incomes over $85,000.00, or couples with annual incomes over $170,000.00), but the cost of prescriptions will not increase, actually the major-ity of Medicare beneficiaries have started paying less for

their prescriptions. See medicare.gov for more information. Medicare beneficiaries may continue to see their own doctors and there are many incentives to encourage doctors to enter into the ACA program so there may be more doctors who will take Medicare patients in the future.

I am hopeful that the ACA will improve the health of my senior clients. The most beneficial provision of the ACA is the elimination of coverage denial for pre-existing conditions. People need not hesitate to go to their doctor for treatment of a pre-existing condition because it must be cov-ered by their insurance because of the ACA. In addition, the ACA covers yearly wellness visits and screenings for many types of cancers and other illnesses. Studies have shown that testing for colon cancer, breast cancer, and many other conditions lead to early treatment and often a cure.

There will be some disadvantages of the ACA, especially for those who are transitioning from Medicaid to Medicare. Medicaid provides full coverage for all health care costs. Medicare requires premium payments and co-pays (out of pocket costs). There will also be timing issues to ensure that coverage does not lapse and to avoid Medicare penalties resulting from delayed enrollment, but there will be far more people transitioning from Medicare to Medicaid as a result of the ACA.

SURVIVORS IN CHAOSCelebrate America & Life, By MB ReithWell, what better year than an election year to ponder on the American 4th of July celebration coming up this month. Ai Yi Yi! I have mentioned this before this year. A very unusu-al election year process is going on. From this old boomer’s vantage point it has outdone itself! This election year. And there are still months left in the process. The whole thing has seriously been broken. Not just this election process but the Congress getting anything done part, too. As is pointed out to us with ongoing regularity. IF one takes the time to even pay attention. Since it makes one feel pretty helpless, and that can lead to depression, one needs to divert attention to another direction for now. Let the politi-cal faction do their thing. Let the conspiracy faction do their thing. Unless you can do something about it? Try to live your day celebrating. Thank goodness we do have so many things to celebrate in our America. Even if it’s NOT the elec-tion process !We need to celebrate the good and plenty we have in our country. Yes, there are still too many poor and too many children hungry. But it seems it is still being worked on . Not just ignored and leading to massive war (real war, like Syria, like Iraq etc) I realize there is almost a revolution of sorts trying to go on in our country, but so far, it is a war of words. A review of the process. A cry for a substantial change. At least we can do those things. We can gather with others of our opinion and carry on with those folks. We normally do not have to fear for our lives, as those in afore-mentioned countries .

We can celebrate a country where there are absolutely oppor-tunities for EVERYONE. (I don’t care what the other sides try to fill our brains with) We see the success stores all the time. Heck, we know some of them personally. One just has to work towards a goal of improving their lot in life. As long as you try? You will usually succeed. Your level of success held back only by your input into that success. IF you don’t succeed. DON’T GO BLAMING OTHERS. Each of us is responsible for our outcome. I have known people who suffered tremendous downright torture growing up. Facing challenges and uphill battles all the way. And yet, here they are today succeeding and succeeding well. I realize the killings that have been occurring in America in particular and the world in general certainly are unsettling. Make you feel unhappy somewhat worried/afraid, some type of anxiety. All human feelings. All should make you cel-ebrate even more. And consider some options to assist your-self and others through it. What else is there? Skip merrily? Hide in a cave? Behind a screen? In front of one?? LIVE! BREATHE! IMPROVE! Why not??We need to watch out for our circle of friends and family. Especially if someone we KNOW is acting differently, or TALKING differently. Watch for warning signs. Keep your mind open to the happenings around you. I am sorry, but I am more to thinking that we need to all pay attention more to our immediate world as that is where we CAN make a difference. Our individual vigilance of our surroundings will serve our family friends and all our daily necessary people FAR better than our getting crazy over the politicos or the conspiracists. Or getting into screaming matches about guns. Pay attention.

I always counsel working with your immediate group of co-workers, friends, family, to make it through the stuff we ALL are affected by. Broach the subjects just to keep it real. Don’t dwell on it. We have to understand the realness of these tragedies so we can cope and help others cope. So we can help each other celebrate the world we do have. The people we do have. Let the news media and the different factions do what makes them tick. What makes them feel good? I guess? If they are searching wish them success. No one is getting out of this world alive (well, not yet, but Mars and beyond would be cool if only one was not a aging baby boomer!!)Celebrate every minute. You don’t need to have others, you don’t need to have anything but air and water and some food. The others and the excess? Nice. But not mandatory. You will find that if you celebrate? You will gather around you same folks. And you will learn to be ok with those who do not celebrate. They will get there. We will all get there. Be patient. Take care of yourself, your partners in life, the earth,

and the sky. 2016 is almost 1/2 over, make the best of it. Send out positive vibrations to try to counterback the nega-tive ones that are unfortunately here and there. Don’t hurt yourself or others. Find ways to feel good, feel great and Celebrate!

EARTHWATCHIncorporating Xeriscape Landscaping by Jody DicksonLiving in the mountain and rural community is already spectacularly beautiful. Even though we live in a very arid place with limited water (or water rights), we can still enhance the beauty of this place by creating formal landscaped areas on our properties by utilizing xeriscape practices. Xeriscape simply means utilizing good gardening practices to use less water and still have an appealing landscape. To be successful, it is ideal to plant native species. It makes sense that the plants that do the best are

they explode sending the seed up to 15 ft away. Due to an extensive root system, manual pulling is not effective. Sheep/goat grazing or regular mowing during growing season minimize the effects of Leafy Spurge. Canada Thistles have small clusters of flowers which makes it different from other noxious thistles. The leaves are oblong, spiny and slightly hairy on the undersurface. It can grow to 2 – 4 ft in height. Hand-pulling and tilling can actually stimulate new growth.

the ones that natively grow up here. Also, put plants in their matching microclimate. For example, put higher-water-need plants in naturally wetter areas and take advantage of shady areas as you won’t have to water them as frequently. Cover plant beds with composted leaves or grass to help retain moisture. Water the plants less often but thoroughly to encourage deep root growth. You can also terrace slopes to prevent water runoff.

Mitigation efforts such as defensible space, evacuation planning, and reducing hazardous fuels adjacent o communities can make a big difference in saving lives, homes and businesses during a wildfire.” Said Mark Udall, who served on the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in a June 26, 2014, press release. These words still ring true today.

Ned May/June Events: May 22 Sawyer-only refresher – see note belowMay 28 St Anton’s subdivision June 25 Nederland Big Springs neighborhood

Sawyer Refresher EventFive sawyers attended the sawyer-only refresher event on May 22 in Nederland. They broke into 2 teams, worked on basic saw safety, situational awareness, and felling techniques to re-familiarize the sawyers with these concepts prior to the first Nederland event in St. Anton’s subdivision. They worked for 4 hours and brought down over 50 trees! Want to see pictures of this event? Go to sawsandslaws.org, click on the Events tab, and then find the event on the calendar.

JeffCo Commissioner’s Meeting PresentationMick Coady represented Saws & Slaws at the June 25 Jefferson County Commissioners’ Meeting in Golden. In attendance were Commissioners Libby Szabo and Casey Tighe, County Manager Ralph Schell, his Administrative Assistant Janice Fredrickson and several other employees from the JeffCo Commissioners office. Commissioner Don Rosier was in Washington D.C. on County business. The purpose for this meeting was to request funds from Jefferson County to be applied to Saws & Slaws annual operating expenses. Mick gave a brief overview of the organization’s 2015 activities and success, our current funding sources, and an assessment of the risks and tangible costs associated with a wildfire in Coal Creek canyon.

Mick reports that the meeting went very well. The commissioners and Mr. Schell were very receptive and asked many good questions. There was a lot of discussion about the funding that Saws & Slaws receives from Boulder County and they wanted to know if they could model JeffCo’s support in a similar way. Mick came away with a clear impression that they want to and will help Saws & Slaws, but that we need to work with them to help find the best way forward.

Stump SolutionsThe local gossip chain indicates that there has been some stump dumping going on in the canyon. A woman stated that someone had dumped about 20 stumps on her property. Now, she has to incur costs and time to discard of the stumps! Let’s be kind and thoughtful to one another. Even dumping stumps

The next Sky Watchers meeting is: Saturday, July 30th – From 7 to 9:30 PM At the Coal Creek Canyon Community Center (CCCIA Hall), 31528 Highway 72 (Coal Creek Canyon Road), Golden, CO 80403 Come see another great presentation from one of our local area astronomy experts – Dr. Leslie Young! Hear the latest news from New Horizon’s PLUTO Mission!On July 15, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto and its five moons, with the involvement of many scientists and engineers from Boulder County. We knew Pluto would be a fascinating world, but everyone was surprised by how beautiful it is. As just one example, tiny Pluto has

mountains as high as the Rockies. Dr. Young will show us some of the latest images and data – and share her excitement about being one of the Pluto mission’s Deputy Project Scientists, a Co-Investigator and the Team Leader of PEP (Pluto Encounter Planning).Dr. Young received her Ph.D. from MIT and has devoted her career to the study of the outer solar system, in particular the dwarf planet Pluto and its surroundings. She joined the staff of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder in 1999. She has worked extensively on the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt and is thrilled that Pluto did not disappoint.Just a few weeks after the Pluto Flyby in July 2015, our local Sky Watcher Carolyn Collins Petersen gave us our first exciting presentation on the Flyby. Carolyn and her husband Mark were with the New Horizon’s team at the Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland for the historic event,

covering the mission as reporters. Amazing images and data of Pluto and its moons have streamed back to scientists for this last year. Come hear the latest from Dr. Young! Sky Watcher Leonard David will also provide his brief monthly update on other current space exploration missions. After the presentations, we’ll set up our scopes and check out Jupiter and its moon, Mars and Saturn – weather permitting, of course. THE JULY NIGHT SKIES – ALL ABOUT JUPITER by John WilliamsThe planets are lining up for a special showing in August but July skies hold nearly as much action. Mars and Saturn are at their “best of the year” shining brightly in the southern sky after dark. Small telescopes will show Saturn’s bright rings. With larger scopes, observers can pick out the light and dark areas on Mars. And if you like to go after more elusive celestial prey, Neptune and Uranus rise in the east just after midnight.But this month, all eyes are on Jupiter. The largest planet glows yellow-white in the evening western sky and on July

4th – and I want you to imagine a new satellite orbiting the gaseous world. JUNO arrives at the planet that day after a 5-year journey. The satellite left Earth on August 5, 2011. Scientists will put the solar-powered spacecraft into a polar orbit. In fact, JUNO is short for Jupiter Near-polar Orbiter. Scientists hope to uncover secrets to the planet’s formation as well as Jupiter’s role in the creation of the solar system. With JUNO’s sensitive instruments, scientist want to uncover whether Jupiter has a core buried deep beneath its clouds. They hope to better understand the chemistry of the atmosphere and learn about the strong magnetic fields surrounding the planet.Each of JUNO’s orbits will take about 14 days complete. After just 37 orbits, scientists plan to send the probe burning through Jupiter’s skies to learn up close the makeup of Jupiter’s colorful cloudbanks.

CCC Sky Watchers Continued from page 25 Golden Vision Clinic, P.C. Q & A Q: “Can I swim with contact lenses in?”

A: ”Only under VERY SPECIFIC conditions!!!”NO, you can not swim with your regular 2 week or 1 month soft lenses or hard gas permeable lenses inSoft lenses absorb and hold small particles like a sponge. So, if you are in a chlorinated pool, they will absorb chlorine and your eyes will be red and irritated for hours or days. If you go into a river, pond, lake or ocean they will absorb bacteria, viruses, mold, amoeba and you can seriously infect your eyes. Also, contact lenses are held onto your eye by surface tension. So, if you open your eyes under water, they can easily float away. This is especially true for hard gas permeable lenses.

YES, you can create a system for swimming in contact lenses:If you wear disposable soft lenses, you normally dispose of your lenses every 2 weeks. DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY! Put them in a contact lens case, and put several

In Support of the Biter By Linda Martin, Director of Wee Creekers Here is an article written many years ago, but probably the one I share most freely with struggling parents who have (insert suspenseful music…) a Biter!! I was talking to a Grandma in town a few weeks ago and she was telling me that her grandson, at the ripe age of one, might get kicked out of day care because he is a biter. I gave her my phone number so that her daughter could call me. It is devastating to be the parent of a biter, especially when the biter is not being supported in his/her environment.

At Wee Creekers, we see our share of biters. The difference with us is that we understand what’s really going on for a biter and we can support their needs well. Biters who are not supported tend to travel toward the “bully” path, believing that they are naughty and are somehow meant to hurt others for the rest of their lives. This is not true!! It is surprising how many people, even professionals, do not understand the psychology behind a toddler’s actions. So read on, pass it on. Let’s help there be a few less bullies in the world, shall we? Biting can be a manifestation of several things. Toddlers are often growing new teeth. It makes you think about your mouth a lot and it feels good to bite down. When things

happen around you, it makes sense to use your mouth to solve it. It is foremost on your mind and it feels good. Toddlers also like attention. Biting, shoving, taking someone’s toy from them, these are all sure ways to put the spotlight on yourself. Toddlers also get their signals messed up. They go in for a kiss and on the way there somehow the kiss turns into a bite. This doesn’t happen often but it does happen. Here’s the one that no one seems to think about. Many toddlers want to socialize. They want to connect with other toddlers. Connecting with grown ups is easy but it is not the same with other children. If you give your little 2 year old friend a gentle pat on the back, there is not likely to be much of a reaction. Your connection is not confirmed. You might even get the “get away from me” look from them. But that is not enough feedback, not for a toddler. If you instead shove your little friend off their chair, you are going to get confirmation that you made a connection. The other child will cry and the adults are likely to get involved, too, confirming all the more that you “connected”. For a toddler it is not about positive reaction versus negative reaction. The bottom line is getting a reaction. Period. And negative is better than nothing! Sometimes a toddler will be bigger than the other children and their connections can have an even bigger impact. We mustn’t read anything negative into these occurrences. If you think about it as an attempt at social connection, then it might help you accept it as normal. So what can be done? I’m glad you asked! For a toddler who is teething,



have cold teethers available (frozen washcloths work pretty well) and make sure toddlers know how to ask for them. Even if you don’t think they “need” one right now, give it to them anyway so they may think of it as a viable option when they are experiencing discomfort in their mouth. Always give first (and plenty of) attention to the victim. This will help with the “social” toddler as well as the “attention seeker” because it does not meet their attention needs. Use similar words each time. “Ouch! That hurts! Are you okay? Oh, Honey…..(big hugs for the victim)...Ouchy.” Be gentle now as you turn to the biter and ask them to help check in with the victim. “Susie is hurt. Let’s make sure she’s okay. Are you okay, Susie?” (Many toddlers don’t have the words yet so you must model most of the conversation. But don’t be fooled. They are taking it ALL in!) “What do you need, Susie? Do you need an ice pack?” Then to the biter, “Let’s get Susie an ice pack.” Then you and Susie and the biter all sit down and fix Susie. When Susie is feeling better, the biter is free to go as well but I always ask for a “sorry”. Some people think saying sorry is meaningless but I disagree completely. I believe a good apology, along with “fixing” the victim, allows the biter to make up for the offense. Otherwise their little offenses begin to mount up and they begin to feel the burden of the bad reputation. Once a victim is fixed, the offense is ‘erased’ and everyone can move forward. For the social butterfly, we have a couple more tricks. When they enter the classroom, we help them to connect with everyone who is there so half their work is done. We give them new ways to connect. High fives, hugs (when wanted), gentle back pats, and hellos are all encouraged. We support their social efforts because

a supported biter (shover, kicker, hitter, hair-puller) can actually become one of the best kinds of friends, because being social has always been a priority for them. They are not bullies!!! Good Luck and Happy and Healthy Children to YOU!

pairs one on top of the other. Keep them moist with OptiFree solution. If you open the case one day and they look like Pringles, do not worry, gently put more solution in the case and let them sit for 2 hours to rehydrate.Now when you go swimming, boating, to the beach, water skiing, or snorkeling put on an old/spent pair of the saved lenses. Enjoy the water, see your surroundings safely, and have a great time. If you loose one, it is not any real loss. Throw the contact lens away as soon as you are done in the water. Rinse your eyes with OptiFree solution and wait an hour before you put your fresh current lenses back on.

Or you can use 1 Day Contact Lenses the same way. With these lenses you wear them for one day and throw them away. No solution, no storage, no hassle.

Faith and Grief communities have proven helpful in bereavement situa-tions and give on-going support and hope for folks who are searching for a way to get past the grief and get on with life that has meaning for them. It matters not if you are affiliated with a religious organization or have a faith that is different from ours…these one-hour brunches continue to be a safe and welcoming place for anyone to come and listen to one-anoth-er’s stories. The first Faith & Grief Brunch, held on June 18th, was well attended. We invite those who came to return and invite others to explore the opportu-nity at the CCCIA Hall for two more Saturday brunches this summer.

In an effort to continue to provide our members with the most reliable and efficient service, United Power is in the process of upgrading our vehicle storage facility at our Coal Creek office. We are constructing a 13-bay garage, which will also include warehouse space. The facility will provide space to store our vehicles and equipment throughout the year, especially during the winter months which can bring adverse weather conditions.

By utilizing an upgraded facility, United Power will be able to maintain our vehicles and equipment for a longer period of time, which equates to a cost savings to the cooperative and our members.

Our crews will also be able to respond quicker and safer to outages because vehicles and equipment will be more easily accessible. Construction on the 13-bay garage is scheduled for completion by mid-August.
