Seniors cross stage as newest HHS graduatesBy Darci Tomky

Emotions ran high Sunday afternoon, May 12 as the Holy-oke High School Class of 2013 celebrated a successful high school career at their gradu-ation ceremony. Clad in black caps and gowns, 38 seniors crossed the stage in the HHS gym to receive their diplomas. After proudly marching in to a processional led by direc-tor Miko Martinez and the senior high band, graduates nervously and excitedly began their graduation exercises. “We are confident you are ready,” said Superintendent Bret Miles as an introduction to an anxious senior class. “We are proud of you.” Valedictorians Molly Brandt, Brett Cumming and Rachel Schneider were honored for their perfect 4.0 grade point averages. Schneider quoted G.K. Ches-terton in her valedictory ad-dress, saying, “Fairy tales are more than true—not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” “I know my fellow classmates have the ability to defeat their dragons,” said Schneider. Brandt also commended her classmates for their big dreams. “The young adults you’re look-

ing at have huge aspirations,” she said. “I’m telling you, these people are brilliant!” She encouraged the Class of 2013 to “Go for it!” because “every single one of us has the capabil-ity to change the world.” Citizenship awards recog-nized one senior girl and boy at Sunday’s graduation ceremo-ny. Richard Brown and Susan Roll Walters of the American Legion Post #90 and Auxiliary presented the awards to Molly Brandt and Ben Martinez. Special music Sunday after-noon featured seniors in the high school choir and Select Choir’s “Home,” under the direction of Marcia Dalton, as well as the high school band’s “Afterburn,” under the direc-

tion of guest conductor Patri-cia Wiebers. HHS Principal Susan Ortner presented the Class of 2013. In a day of mixed emotions and great pride, Ortner said what strikes her the most is the long-term commitment to education in this community, noting the roots and strong foundation the community gives to its students. “The community of Holyoke has formed you into the person you are,” she told the gradu-ates. “Show gratitude and live with integrity!” After showing a clip from the “Last Lecture” from Dr. Randy Pausch on Oprah, Ortner chal-lenged students to “choose to play the game hard.”

Council sets sights on dangerous buildings

By Kyle Arnoldy Holyoke City Council mem-bers aimed to reduce the prob-lems caused by uninhabitable and dangerous buildings during a work session after the Tues-day, May 7 council meeting. Many issues were raised from the April 8 storm that caused damage around town. Concerns for procedures and safety measures were dis-cussed at length, and the city council continues to look for ways in which to minimize danger in the future. Much of the damage from the storm occurred at the Holyoke Mobile Home and RV

Park. The amount of damage was hard to assess as a few of the mobile homes were unin-habited and in poor condition to begin with. The vacant trailers pre-sented safety issues as some had shattered windows and structure flaws that led to fly-ing debris in the strong winds. Loose trash also poses a poten-tial problem. City Superintendent Mark Brown identified three mobile homes in the park that meet the criteria as dangerous buildings. All three are aban-doned. Council members explored

ways in which to get started le-gally. Problems they anticipate include determining who is at fault, who owns the lot, who is living in the lot and the proper ways to notify residents and owners at the trailer park of problems that need to be cor-rected. City attorney Al Wall also pointed out that in Colorado, during the sale of personal property, personal property taxes must be paid at the time of a title transfer. Many people don’t want to pay personal property taxes, so proper pro-cedures are ignored.

Jacki Smith, a 2006 gradu-ate of Haxtun High School, is a doctoral candidate and is doing a project on Phillips County benefactor William Heginbotham as part of her dissertation research. Smith will be in the area in mid-June, and it is her goal to conduct oral history inter-

views with local residents who knew Heginbotham or whose families knew him in some way. She said she would also be glad to collect (borrow or copy) any written documentation on Heginbotham that intervie-wees are willing to share (cor-respondence, for example). Not only will this research seek to understand Hegin-botham’s interactions with bank clients and tenants in northeastern Colorado, but it will also attempt to situate his social and civic activities within the larger community, explained Smith. Inquiry into these layers of the banker’s character will help develop a complex por-trait of the small-town banker, she added. Heginbotham’s case will supplement other studies of lenders and help understand bigger questions about their contributions to Great Plains communities. A large part of this research on Heginbotham will be used in a comparative manner alongside Smith’s previous study of a lender-landlord in southwestern Kansas. The lat-ter study uncovered complex economic motivations and

Haxtun HS grad seeking Will Heginbotham history

agricultural knowledge on the part of the landlord. It is Smith’s intent to pur-sue similar questions about whether agricultural science informed Heginbotham’s ten-ant relations and farming practices and about how these dealings played out during the depressions of the 1920s and 1930s. Smith has received certifi-cation to conduct these inter-views from the University of Kansas and is working under the supervision of Dr. Kim Warren, her faculty co-advi-sor. For more information about setting up an interview or referring others who might provide helpful information to the researcher, interested parties should call Smith at 402-613-2967 or direct an email to jaclyn.smith@ku.edu. Smith did her undergradu-ate work at Nebraska Wes-leyan University in Lincoln, Neb., graduating in 2010. She received her Master of Arts degree in history from the Uni-versity of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., in February 2013 and is a doctoral candidate there. She is the daughter of Gor-don Smith of Haxtun and Jo Hurst of Henry, Neb.

Cathy Sullivan retires after 38 yearsBy Kyle Arnoldy

For nearly four decades, Cathy Sullivan has welcomed kids into her classroom at Holyoke Elementary, but when the children exit the building for summer break Friday, May 24, Sullivan will officially be-gin her retirement. “I still can’t quite get my head around the fact that I am not going to be at the school anymore,” Sullivan said. “Af-ter all this time, it kind of be-comes part of who you are.” After earning her degree in elementary education with a math minor at the University of Northern Colorado, Sulli-van set out to California for an adventure. She accepted a posi-tion as a second-grade reading and social studies educator at a private school in Orange County. While there, she also ran the before- and after-school programs. Sullivan returned to Colo-rado after a year to be closer to family. Although she began the job hunt during the summer, a

difficult time to find teaching positions, she was hired in Holyoke. Growing up in Colorado Springs, Sullivan stated she had never heard of Holyoke until she began applying for open positions. She laughed as she recalled turning off the interstate at Sterling and be-ginning the drive on Highway 6. After passing through Flem-ing and Haxtun, she said she nearly turned around when she hit Paoli. While the move to Holyoke was a bit of a culture shock, Sullivan says she has come to enjoy the small-town life. More than anything, she appreciates the environment Holyoke of-fers for raising children. In her first year of teach-ing, Sullivan met her husband Steve, a Holyoke native, and they went on to have two kids, Ashley and Jared. Ashley, 26, works at the Holyoke Enter-prise, and Jared, 25, has begun work as a mechanical engineer in Golden. Steve runs Sully’s

Construction, LLC in Holyoke with his brother Jeff. Over her 37-year tenure at Re-1J School District, Sullivan taught sixth-grade math, sci-ence and social studies for 15 years, fourth grade for seven years and Title I for the final 15 years. Title I is aimed at helping kids who have fallen behind in math and reading. “I loved sixth grade while I was there, but I needed a little change because you can’t do the same thing forever,” Sul-livan explained. “In Title I, we see a variety of kids. I have had kindergarten through sixth grade, which was kind of neat because I had only worked with upper elementary until then. It was nice coming down and working with the younger kids. At first I didn’t think I would like it, but I really have.” No matter the age or the class, Sullivan enjoyed being able to help kids grow and realize their potential. She

Cathy Sullivan’s 37 years at Holyoke Elementary will come to an end at the conclusion of the school year.

“What a ride it’s been with this group,” she said, recalling all the interesting times spent with the Class of 2013 since they were seventh-graders, her first year as principal at HHS. The graduating seniors wore smiles on their faces as they crossed the stage to receive their diplomas from Miles, Ortner, HHS counselor Sum-mer Maloney and school board members Dr. Jeff Tharp and Dennis Herman. The class chose a wide vari-ety of paths after high school, which were announced as they crossed the stage. Scholarships were also announced, which totaled $897,227 for the gradu-ating seniors. An emotional rose ceremony and special presentation gave students a chance to recognize family and friends with roses, often accompanied by many hugs and tears. After an enthusiastic intro-duction for himself, senior class president Ben Martinez had his classmates and the audience laughing as he gave his farewell speech—his op-portunity to “make fun of my classmates one more time.” But on a serious note, Marti-nez thanked his teachers, who “don’t get enough thank yous,” noting, “They have helped us conquer ourselves.” Martinez also recognized parents, the community and God for what they have allowed the class to accomplish over the years. YOLO, or “You Only Live Once,” has been quite the phrase of the year, but Marti-nez challenged his class to re-ally take it to heart. “If we only life once, let’s live it great.” With their hats flying in the air, the HHS Class of 2013 proud-ly walked out to “Send Me On My Way” by Rusted Root. The rest of the afternoon was spent celebrating their graduation with family and friends.

C a r l o s Diaz Erives, 48, died May 7, 2013, in Mexico as the result of a vehicle acci-dent two days earlier. H e w a s

born Oct. 27, 1964, in Mexico to Francisco and Ramona Diaz. He was united in marriage to Margarita Diaz Feb. 23, 1986, and to this union two children were born: Yazmin and Carlos Jr. Carlos worked in Mexico for half a year and then in Denver for the other half for a number of years while his family stayed in Mexico. In 2000, he decided to move his family to Holyoke, where his sister lived. Carlos was a very hard work-er and was a pleasant man to all he met. He worked for approxi-mately eight years for Jack’s Bean Co., then did seasonal work for multiple employers and later returned to the em-ployment of Jack’s Bean Com-pany. He flew to Mexico April 25, where he was planning to work for a while, hoping to return to his family in Holyoke soon.

Carlos Diaz He was the passenger in a tragic accident May 5, and was hospitalized in critical condi-tion before his death May 7. Carlos was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother, Ramona Diaz of Mexico; wife, Margarita Diaz of Holyoke; daughter, Yazmin Diaz and her husband Salvador Bustillos of Holyoke; son, Carlos Diaz Jr. of Holyoke; six brothers and three sisters of Mexico and New Mexico; and grandchildren, Brendan Bustillos and Sujey Bustillos of Holyoke. Carlos dearly loved his family, especially his grandchildren. A funeral service was held in Ignacio-Zargoza, Mexico on May 9. At the same time, a me-morial service was conducted in Holyoke at First Baptist Church, with Ismael Lopez of-ficiating. A memorial Mass in Spanish will be held Sunday, May 19 at 4 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Holyoke. An account for memorial gifts to assist his family has been opened in the name of Carlos Diaz Erives at Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union.

Carlos Diaz in tragic accident in MexicoBy Brenda Johnson Brandt Ten days after saying good-bye to his family in Holyoke, Carlos Diaz, 48, was in a tragic accident in Mexico and he died May 7. When he flew out of DIA in Denver April 25, it was Diaz’s plan to go to Mexico to work for a time and then to hopefully re-turn to his family in Holyoke. He was riding with a friend in an Expedition Sunday, May 5, when they were involved in a tragic accident. His daughter Yazmin Diaz of Holyoke said the accident happened around 5:30-6 p.m., but they’re not sure what occurred. The Expedi-tion apparently had a flat tire while they were driving on the highway, and Yazmin said the vehicle might have rolled as a result. Carlos was taken to a hos-pital in Chihuahua in critical condition. The driver in the accident was also critically injured and remains hospital-ized. By Tuesday, Yazmin said, doctors had determined that her dad had no brain activity. At that point, they decided to remove him from life support. While it wasn’t Yazmin’s desire at first, all of the family surrounding Carlos wanted to have his organs donated. Yazmin said she eventually agreed. As a result, she was told, 46 people will benefit from her dad’s organs, tissue, etc. A funeral service was held in the Diaz family’s hometown of Ignacio-Zargoza, Mexico on May 9, and a memorial was held at the same time at First Baptist Church of Holyoke, conducted by Ismael Lopez. Yazmin said her two pre-school-aged children, Brendan and Sujey, will dearly miss their grandpa, as they had

a very close relationship. Yazmin describes her dad as a very pleasant man to all he met and a very, very hard worker. In addition to Yazmin and her husband Salvador Bustil-los and their children, other Holyoke family members in-clude Carlos’ wife Margarita, who works at Holyoke Mar-ketplace; and his son, Carlos Jr., who is a junior at HHS and has qualified to compete in the state track meet this weekend.

Memorial account set upat Holyoke Credit Union

An account to help the Diaz family has been set up at Holy-oke Community Federal Credit Union in the name of Carlos Diaz Erives. Staff at Holyoke JR/SR High organized a benefit dinner for the family Tuesday night, May 14 as well. The plan was for 100 percent of the proceeds to go to the Diaz family. It was the staff ’s desire to help Carlos Jr.’s family be able to attend the state track meet to cel-ebrate his success and also to help with expenses they have now and down the road.

Jack the Giant Slayer—”Jack the Giant Slayer” tells the story of an ancient war that is re-ignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between his world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself. Hidden Rage—Joshua, a 17-year-old student, goes to school every day, because he has to. Every day he gets picked on, beat up and bullied. His teachers aren’t aware, se-curity can only react to what they see, and his only friend, Stephen, is too afraid to step to his defense. Rage has a way of hiding itself until it’s too late, and in Joshua rage is buried deep. There are signs that his rage is trying to escape, but no one sees them. He indulges his an-ger in the games that he plays,

the lists that he keeps and the movies that he watches. Until one day he gets pushed too far.

Once the police department has determined a structure to be a dangerous building, no-tices will be sent out to owners. They will be given a time table to fix the problems. If ignored, the city will step in and hire someone to do the job, with the bill going to the owner of the property. If the bill is ignored, the costs will be added to their tax roll. If the taxes are not paid, the owner will lose the property. While the removal of the three trailers is completely up to the owner of the property, some of the problems can be alleviated during the citywide cleanup dates. Debris and gar-bage moved to the alley will be picked up by the city Wednes-day, May 15 and Thursday, May 16.

Cell tower regulations discussed

In an effort to keep large, unsightly cell towers out of the heart of Holyoke, council members discussed cell tower

noted that as she steps away, it is going to be the students she misses the most. “I love working with the kids,” Sullivan said. “It is just something new every day. It’s great to see them have their successes and they say and do things that make you smile and laugh every day.” Another perk of teaching in a small town is, instead of passing kids to the next grade and forgetting about them, Sullivan was able to see how they continued to succeed as they matured and grew into adulthood. She noted that there are a couple of teachers at HHS that she taught when they were much younger. Over the past 38 years, Sulli-van said she has noticed many changes in the classroom.

By Darci Tomky Holyoke Elementary School art teacher Christina Martinez has been elected to serve with the Colorado Art Educators Association as the regional board representative for the northeast region. Martinez said she is excited for this opportunity to get more involved with other art teachers and represent Ho-lyoke at the state level. As a regional representative, she looks forward to the say she will have in decisions the as-sociation makes and how that will impact art teachers in Colorado. She will be representing and communicating with art teachers in Phillips, Sedgwick, Yuma, Washington, Logan, Morgan and Weld counties. Part of her duties include attending board meetings, submitting a regional report for CAEA’s Collage magazine, writing articles, nominating educators for awards, pre-senting at the annual CAEA conference and serving on committees. Martinez said a committee she will be serving on is in charge of social media on the association’s Twitter page. As an elementary art teacher, Martinez has found the work-shops at the annual conference

Martinez to serve as regional art rep

Christina Martinez

very helpful in collaborating and sharing ideas with art edu-cators across the state, so she hopes to get other art teachers from the region to attend the conference next year. Martinez, who has become known for her hands-on art projects using recycled mate-rials, began teaching at Holy-oke Elementary in 2010. She continues to bring innovative ideas to her local school and will now get to share those with the CAEA board, as well.

Reading TCAPs exceed state average For the fifth straight year, Holyoke third-grade reading scores on the Transitional Col-orado Assessment Program exceeded the state average. TCAP results released last week showed 79 percent of Holyoke students scored pro-ficient or advanced while the state average for this year is 73 percent. Holyoke Elementary School Principal Kyle Stumpf con-gratulated everyone who con-tributed to these results in-cluding classroom teachers, others who support third-grade readers and even the teachers in upper grades who willingly give up intervention time so it can be used with younger students. Not only did third-grade students do well by exceeding the state average in reading, there were only three students (6 percent) who received an unsatisfactory score, which is less than the 10 percent aver-age unsatisfactory score by the

rest of the state. Stumpf said, “One goal we have as a building is to focus on providing interventions for those who need additional help. I am pleased to see that we are continuing to have a lower unsatisfactory rate than the rest of the state.” Another celebration for the district was the performance of students who are learning English as a second language. Of the 48 students in third grade, 13 (27 percent) are identified as “Limited English Proficient” for their language proficiency. Of these students, six (46 percent) still scored in the proficient range. “It is known that students take 5-7 years after a child learns conversational Eng-lish to develop the academic vocabulary necessary to meet the standards. Therefore, I am very pleased at the progress the third-grade TCAP shows for our ELL students,” com-mented Superintendent Bret

Miles, who is very pleased with the results. TCAP is the new name for what has been known as CSAP since its inception. The state-wide mandatory assessment was renamed this year as the test began to transition into the newly adopted state stan-dards. The third-grade reading assessment began in 1998. Student results for all TCAP tests are classified into one of four categories: advanced, proficient, partially profi-cient and unsatisfactory. It is a statewide expectation that proficient scores are deemed to be on grade level or meet-ing the standards set by the state. Third-grade reading is test-ed early so results are available before school ends. All other TCAP test results will be avail-able to districts in late July or early August. Holyoke School District has set its own targets for student

achievement outlined by the Standard of Excellence team and included in the district’s strategic plan, Destination 2016. The goals of the district are clear, to have students achieving in the top 25 percent in the state. This year’s third-grade re-sults continue to trend well toward reaching the ultimate goal of over 85 percent pro-ficient and advanced. The district publishes all TCAP results and how they track toward the 2016 goals in its an-nual report to the community that comes out in August of each year. “Times are tough in public education. Our state funding per pupil has been reduced 16 percent, more than $778,000, over the last four years. That has required schools every-where to do hard work with fewer people and fewer re-sources. To see our school stay above the state average with fewer teachers is a testament to the focus on achievement and tireless effort of our teach-ers,” said Miles. “We are very fortunate to have a staff dedicated to in-creasing achievement regard-less of the challenges,” he added. Further questions can be directed to Miles by contacting the Holyoke School District ad-ministration office at 854-3634 or by calling Principal Stumpf at 854-3411.

She pointed to technology as the biggest difference she has seen. Not only has technology changed the way subjects are taught, but it’s changed the ways in which students can respond, do their work and the project possibilities. She also noticed how student dynamics have changed. “Holyoke has actually changed a lot as far as the kids,” Sullivan explained. “When I first came here, it pretty much was the kids that came to kindergarten together graduated together and it was the exact same group, which looking back now, that’s pretty strange. There were kids that moved in and it wasn’t a nor-mal thing to have a new kid in class, so that has kind of changed.” Sullivan also noticed how some things never change. She

joked about how everything cycles around. While exercises may be touted as the newest way to facilitate learning, she said they usually are the same ideas from the past with differ-ent names. For the past three years, Sullivan has been at the el-ementary school part time, helping her ease her way into retirement. She said it was the best of both worlds as she had more time off to connect with friends and still was able to see the kids every day. With even more time off on the horizon, Sullivan said she is interested in looking into genealogy to discover family history. Traveling is also a pos-sibility in the future as well as joining a group of retired teachers who frequently gath-er for Bible study and other activities.

Moving the sixth grade to the junior high building in Holyoke for the 2008-09 school year brought a number of citi-zens to the May 6 school board meeting to ask questions, lis-ten to reasoning and express opposition. The original Phillips County Event Center building, which had stood for approximately 60 years, was demolished May 7 so the county could begin construc-tion on the new Event Center.

Eight area veterans will join the Holyoke High School Class of 2003 on Sunday, May 18 in receiving their high school diplomas through a program called Operation Recognition. Those eight are Deane An-derson, Max Brown, Lavern Gibbs, Roy Koberstein, Vernell Meinte, Elton Oltjenbruns, Clifford Schmidt and Leonard Schmidt. At a special “constitutional service” held on Sunday, May 11, Holyoke Community Church members celebrated the rite of passage as the church went

from being a mission church to an officially organized indepen-dent church body. A new picnic shelter at the Phillips County Fairgrounds was dedicated last week in memory of John Sullivan, who played an active role in Phil-lips County.

The giving away of two Shetland ponies with new saddles Saturday evening at the “stoplight corner” will climax a three-day sale event conducted by two well-known Holyoke businesses, Schmidt Motor Supply and John Bald-win Chevrolet Company. A road-grading crew uncov-ered $700-800 last Thursday along a Yuma County road between Holyoke and Wray. The money, in $10 and $20 bills, is believed to be part of the $22,863 stolen from First State Bank in Enders, Neb., on April 14, 1962. Two Holyoke High School students, William Bahler and Frank J. Austin, were recently awarded honorable mention in the national feedlot planning contest sponsored by A.O. Smith Harvesters Products, Inc.

Take a closer look at the 4-H shooting sports

program Next to the live-stock projects, one of the most popular 4-H gen-eral projects to participate in is shooting sports. This year, Phillips County 4-H has 14 members enrolled in the shoot-ing sports program with three adult leaders to mentor them. Members are able to choose which shooting sports disci-pline they are most interested in to enroll in as a project. Those disciplines are: air rifle, archery, .22 rifle, shotgun, black powder, air pistol and outdoor skills. Prior to 1986, several Colora-do counties had a 4-H shooting sports program based loosely on the Texas 4-H shooting program model or as part of outdoor/en-vironmental youth camps. Colorado’s 4-H shooting sports program officially began in 1986 when four individuals attended a national 4-H shoot-ing sports workshop. These individuals returned to Colo-rado and conducted local leader workshops. As the result of this training, local leaders started the 4-H shooting sports pro-grams in their counties. Early records of those trained and the numbers of youth who were trained by these new

Extension Corner—By Kindra Plumb

shooting sports leaders listed their project training under the fisheries and wildlife program until 1995, when the 4-H shoot-ing sports project was sepa-rated as a project of its own. The 4-H shooting sports program has various goals and objectives for program participants. These goals and objectives include: —encourage participation in natural resources and relat-ed natural sciences programs by exposing participants to the content through shooting, hunting and related activities. —enhance development of self confidence, character and personal growth through safe, educational and socially acceptable involvement in a shooting activity. —teach safe and responsible use of firearms and archery equipment including sound de-cision-making, self-discipline and concentration. —promote the highest stan-dards of safety, ethical and sportsmanship behavior. —expose participants to the broad array of vocational and life-long life skill activities re-lated to shooting sports. —strengthen f amil ies through participation in life-long recreational activities. —complement and enhance the impact of existing safety, shooting and hunter education programs using experiential

methods and progressive de-velopment of necessary skills and abilities. —develop and utilize the leadership potential and com-munication skills of older youth in the promotion of the shooting sports and the 4-H program in general. —develop and promote com-munity identity in youth and provide service-learning op-portunities to the betterment of shooting sports and the communities that support it. The Phillips County shoot-ing sports program invites anyone with specific questions regarding the project to con-tact the Phillips County Exten-sion office at 970-854-3616. If you have a passion for the outdoors and any of the shoot-ing sports disciplines, please contact the Extension office. Volunteers are the key to a suc-cessful program for the youth! Extension programs are available to all without dis-crimination.

By Marianne Goodland Opponents of a bill to re-quire rural electric co-ops to increase their use of renew-able energy resources are put-ting on a full court press this week to persuade Gov. John Hickenlooper to veto the bill. Republican legislators at the state capitol held a press conference Thursday, May 9 to plead with the governor to kill Senate Bill 13-252. If signed, the law would raise the current renewable energy standard for the co-ops from 10 percent to 20 percent by 2020. They’re also bringing in ranchers and farmers who would be most impacted by the bill to meet with the governor. Hickenlooper said last week he will meet with executives from Tri-State Generation & Transmission, which provides power to 18 rural electric co-ops and is one of the two entities targeted by SB 252 (the other is the Intermountain Rural Electric Association). Tri-State executives claim the bill will cost the co-ops at least $2 billion to implement. The bill contains a 2 percent annual limit on how much co-ops can increase utility bills, but opponents don’t buy it. “It doesn’t matter what the legislation says with regard to the price increase,” said Sen. Greg Brophy (R-Wray). “The deadlines on this are such that Tri-State will have to shutter existing plants” just to build up the renewables. “Our elec-tric bills will go up 10 to 15 percent per year, and they will never come down,” he added. During the May 9 news conference, Rep. Ray Scott (R-Grand Junction) said the damage to rural Colorado is just “mind-boggling” and that the estimates on how the law would impact greenhouse gases are way off. He also said the bill was no more than a subsidy for the wind and solar power indus-tries, and if they were such

good investments the utilities would already be doing it. The real environmental problem, Scott said, is 250 million cars on the road and the pollution they cause; targeting the utili-ties is a “false target.” Sean Paige of Americans for Prosperity Colorado, an organization backed in part by conservative oil billionaire David Koch, noted his group is running TV ads asking citi-zens to contact the governor to urge his veto. “Rural Colorado shouldn’t pay higher energy bills so [bill sponsor] Sen. John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) can get his Climate Crusader merit badge,” Paige said. He invited the governor to tour rural Colorado and talk to those af-fected by SB 252. “Look them in the eye” and explain why their utility bills will go up, Paige said. “This af-fects 10 of the poorest counties in Colorado,” said Amy Oliver Cooke of the Independence Institute. “This is preferred energy; it’s a payback to wind and so-lar on the backs of the poorest counties,” and she said SB 252 would widen the urban-rural divide. “These co-ops are nonprofit for a reason,” said Sen. Steve King (R-Grand Junction). “They are just barely hang-ing on … the future of these farms, ranches and retirees on fixed income depend on [the governor’s] ability to step up for rural Colorado and be the governor for all of Colorado” and veto the bill. “This is just one more load on the back of those citizens,” said Sen. Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud). “We can’t afford it … it’s a payoff for special in-terests, bad public policy based on theoretical notions on what carbon dioxide will do.” “This is a green ‘pork’ bill,” said Rep. Steven Humphrey (R-Severance). And Sen. Vicki Marble (R-Fort Collins) said wind turbines harm wildlife, including bald eagles, an issue ignored by environmental-ists. “I hope the governor is listening to the voices across the state and veto the bill,” said Rep. Polly Lawrence (R-Douglas County). On the May 9 KOA-850 Mike

Rosen Show, Hickenlooper said he hadn’t decided on SB 252, although he defended wind generation in his dialogue with Rosen. Hickenlooper noted that Tri-State plans to build a coal plant on the East-ern plains and that it would make sense to have some wind generation. But Hickenlooper also said he met with farmers and ranchers on May 7 and was “astounded” by the utility costs for irriga-tion. A typical system, he said, costs $30,000 per year to run, and an increase of 2 percent is about $600, which he called significant. Hickenlooper has 30 days after the bill’s final passage to sign it, which would be around May 31. In other news at the capitol: A bill to shift the high-cost subsidy from phone lines to broadband died in the Senate on May 6. SB 287 would have used some of the money that currently funds high-cost phone access to fund broad-band Internet service in un-served and underserved areas. Morse, a co-sponsor, tried to resuscitate the bill on Monday but didn’t have the votes to get it out of the Senate. SB 210, which will change how the Department of Cor-rections tracks its officers working hours, was amended in the House to add on a bill to begin re-use of the Fort Lyons prison in Bent County. Members of the Joint Budget Committee on May 3 joined with Republicans on the Sen-ate Appropriations Commit-tee to kill House Bill 13-1261, which would have repurposed the prison into a facility for the homeless. JBC members questioned the cost, estimated at $2.8 million, and whether it was

appropriate to ship homeless people to Bent County. House sponsors of HB 1261 attached the bill to SB 210, which was popular with legislative Demo-crats, and SB 210 passed on May 6. It now awaits the gov-ernor’s signature. The last day of the 2013 session saw the passage of another bill to help rural Coloradans keep their water rights. Current law allows the owner of a water right to lease those rights to a borrower for no more than three years in a 10-year period. HB 1130 allows those leases to take place twice more in succeeding 10-year periods. Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg (R-Sterling) told this reporter this will help prevent “buy and dry” sales of water rights on agricultural lands. “Buy and dry” was also the topic of a resolution passed by lawmakers on the final day of the session. House Joint Resolution 13-1026 said the state’s population is projected to nearly double by 2050, but water supplies will not grow to meet those needs. Often, the first and easiest source of water for growing municipalities is agricultural water rights and conversion to municipal use, which leads to a permanent dry-up of farms and ranches, the resolution said. The General Assembly must “continue to develop and enact alternatives to the ‘buy and dry’ option in order to pro-tect Colorado’s agricultural economy and rural communi-ties.” Brophy sponsored the resolution in the Senate; Son-nenberg was a co-sponsor in the House. The 2013 General Assembly session ended at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 8.

2013 General Assembly session ends

Stay safe this summerBy Corporal Ken Nelson,

Colorado State Patrol Well, it is that time of year once again. Summer is coming and soon it will be time to head out camping, boating, tubing and water skiing. Before head-ing out on a well deserved va-cation, there are a few things to remember to make vacation less stressful. I have been a State Trooper for 15 years. In those 15 years, I have stopped on countless mo-torist assists involving blown out tires on boat trailers, travel trailers, motor homes and ATV trailers. We need to remember that the trailers and/or RVs have been sitting for almost a year or longer. The sun is a real killer on the sidewalls of tires. Before heading out with the family, take some time to check the following … you will be glad you did! —Check the tires. Make sure there are no weather cracks in the sidewalls and make sure they are inflated to the proper air pressure. A low tire will generate a lot of heat and the tire will be more likely to blow out, causing a dangerous situ-ation and delaying vacation! Properly inflated tires will also improve fuel mileage. There will be a brand on the side of the tire that will look something like DOT3209. The numbers stand for the 32nd week of the year 2009. This is when that tire was manufactured. No matter how good the tread looks, a tire that is 5 or more years old should be replaced. When tires blow on vehicles they can, and usually do, cause dam-age to your vehicle or trailer.

—Have wheel bearings checked. This is especially important on boat trailers. Remember, we put boat trailers in and out of the water at the boat ramp all summer long. Water and wheel bearings are a bad combination. Water will break down the grease and then wheel bearings could seize to the spindle. I have seen these catch on fire as well. You will be on the side of the highway with a real problem and once again a significant delay to vacation! —Make sure the batteries in boats and RVs are charged and in good condition. Make sure they will hold a charge. Before having someone help push a boat off of the trailer, make sure the battery stayed charged and the boat will start, or it will need to be rowed back to shore … been there, done that! —Make sure belts and hoses are in good shape and make sure there are no coolant leaks. Check lights, including marker lights, turn signal and brake lights.

4-H brings Code of the West to PCBy Kyle Arnoldy

Thanks to funds from the District 5 4-H Council, Phillips County libraries recently re-ceived copies of James Owen’s “Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West,” “Cowboy Values: Recapturing What America Once Stood For” and “The Try: Reclaiming the American Dream.” The 4-H Council, made up of 4-H representatives from Phillips, Sedgwick, Yuma, Washington and Kit Carson counties, received a $2,500 donation from the Pedal The Plains event held in Septem-ber. In October, 4-H members decided that the funds would be best put to use by purchas-ing the books. More than just books, how-ever, the t10 core values Owen identifies in his books, known as the Code of the West, have been adopted by groups and schools across the nation as a way to in-still a set of morals into society. The Code of the West states: 1—Live each day with cour-age. 2—Take pride in your work. 3—Always finish what you start. 4—Do what has to be done. 5—Be tough, but fair. 6—When you make a prom-ise, keep it. 7—Ride for the brand. 8—Talk less and say more. 9—Remember that some things aren’t for sale. 10—Know where to draw the line. “We wanted something that would benefit all five coun-

ties,” said Kindra Plumb, CSU Extension program associate. In April, Plumb attended a training program based on the Code of the West in Bur-lington put on by the Boys and Girls Club of Wyoming. Along with 20 other 4-H agents from around the state, Plumb learned how to incorporate the philosophy from the books into 4-H through activities that prompt kids of all ages to explore the morals involved in making tough decisions.

“I am hoping that the promi-nence of the philosophy grows in the future, not just with 4-H, but in other youth devel-opment areas,” Plumb said. “I think that there are mul-tiple ways it can benefit kids. I think, unfortunately, in today’s society, these principles are not followed anymore. I think they can really help the kids in their decision making.” While implementing the set of values into the 4-H program is still in the preliminary stages,

with the books available at all Phillips County libraries, chil-dren and adults alike can ben-efit from the wisdom offered. Nick Ortner, who will take over as the Phillips County 4-H council president in June, and Austin Vieselmeyer a senator in the council, were both a part of the decision to purchase the books. They noted that they thought the values promoted would be beneficial to kids as it gives a glimpse of the right way to approach ethical questions.

Bella’s market tosell Wray store On Thursday, May 2, VM Odells LLC, the owner of the Bella’s Market operating in Wray, filed in Federal Court to sell the Wray store to NECO Grocery LLC, a grocery op-erator with a store in Holyoke and an affiliate store in Impe-rial, Neb. The sale must be approved by the bankruptcy court in order to be executed. On Sept. 24, VM Odells, owner of grocery stores in Akron, Wray, Haxtun, Wiggins, Walden and St. Francis, Kan., voluntarily entered Chapter 11 protective bankruptcy pro-ceedings in Federal Court in Denver. VM Odells LLC is a subsidiary of Village Markets Holdings LTD. The parent company did not file for bank-ruptcy protection. Kenny Owens, NECO Gro-cery vice president, comment-ed, “We are excited about the opportunity to purchase and

operate the store in Wray. We will restock the store immedi-ately after we take ownership and look forward to strong community support.” Brad Moline, NECO presi-dent, further commented, “I’ve known Sam Mancini, the president of Bella’s Market for quite a while. It is unfortunate that they have had the chal-lenges they have; however, I’m sure they will work through it and get back to operating their other stores very well.” As for employees, Owens commented that they plan to rehire all employees and to change the name of the store to the Wray Market. The sale could be consum-mated within 30 days; however, both the timing and the autho-rization is up to the court’s discretion. All parties expect the sale to proceed with few obstacles.

USDA resumes farm payments The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency administrator Juan M. Garcia recently announced that farm payments, which had been temporarily suspend-ed, were scheduled to resume Wednesday, May 8. This includes payments for the 2011 Supplemental Rev-enue Assistance Payments Program, the Noninsured Crop Assistance Program and the Milk Income Loss Contract Program. “I’m pleased to announce that farmers and ranchers can expect to begin receiving their payments beginning Wednes-day, May 8,” said Garcia. “We appreciate the producers’ pa-tience during the delay. We’re working diligently to get these payments out as quickly as possible.” On March 4, FSA began a temporary suspension of FSA program payments in order to assess the impact of sequestra-tion and determine the least-disruptive process possible for carrying out required cuts. On March 19, USDA noti-fied Congress of its intention to capture the required se-quester savings by reducing payments made through the direct payment program. The exact percentage of the reduc-

tion to direct payments will be determined close to the end of the fiscal year (October 2013), based on program sign ups and outlays. Producers should be advised that program sign-up periods currently under way have the following enrollment dead-lines: 2013 Average Crop Rev-enue Election Program—June 3; 2011 SURE—June 7; and the 2013 Direct and Counter-Cycli-cal Program—Aug. 2. Produc-ers should contact local Farm Service Agency office as soon as possible for appointments to enroll in these programs before the deadlines. USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements seques-tration—the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertak-en historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through tar-geted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better po-sition to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

Roughly 170 fifth-grade students from Holyoke, Jules-burg, Wray, Haxtun and Platte Valley attended AgFest at Phillips County Event Center Friday, May 3. The event was put on by CSU Extension. Children were treated to a number of booths on a wide range of topics relating to agriculture. Holyoke was the last stop for the two-week event. The event also rolled through Rocky Ford, Lamar, Hugo, Brush and Sterling. Close to 1,300 students attended AgFest, which explained the science behind agriculture. “We just want to provide something hands-on and inter-

active so kids can make the connection between where their food comes from and how it gets to their plate,” said Kindra Plumb, Extension Program associate. Plumb, along with 24 other CSU Extension agents from around the state, hit the road to put on the program for the children. There were about 15 agents at each site. Pictured at left, Michael Ramos learns the importance of pulleys as he tries to lift 50 lbs.

First load makes history Seaboard Foods’ new feed mill took in its first load of corn Thursday morning, May 9 at the facility two miles west of Holyoke just off Highway 6 and County Road 35. Feed mill manager Mike Benedict said they wanted to make sure everything was working properly before they start receiving trucks May 16. He said they are on schedule to begin shipping out mass feed May 29 and will be in full operation pelleting feed on June 3. This first load came in after about a year of construction on the feed mill, which will be centrally located for Seaboard’s live swine operations. Randy Hullinger, superintendent for contractor Todd & Sargent, is pictured above with the first load of corn brought in by Troy Killin. —Enterprise photo

Team members will have the opportunity to take part in webinars throughout the sum-mer to learn about marketing and social media strategy from some of Colorado’s top profes-sionals in the industry. “This is an enrichment oppor-tunity for young people across the state to participate in a first-of-its-kind branding initiative, network with community mem-bers, learn from industry-leading professionals and demonstrate

Making Colorado initiative calls for youth ambassador applicants Juniors enlisted to capture spirit of their communities

Red Cross offers free training for baby sitters Thanks to a generous grant, the American Red Cross is of-fering free baby sitter training for northern Colorado youth who might not otherwise be able to afford it. The course not only trains youth in essential caretaking and lifesaving skills, it also opens doors to economic op-portunity by teaching teens business savvy and provid-ing them with certification for what is often their first job. Through Aug. 31, the Ameri-can Red Cross Northern Colo-rado Chapter is offering free babysitter trainings to north-ern Colorado youth ages 11-15. The free trainings can be obtained in two ways: —Organizations, churches, clubs, after-school programs and schools that serve north-ern Colorado youth can set up a group training for their teens ages 11-15 by contacting Gwen Wernersbach at 303-607-4740 or Gwendolyn.Wernersbach@redcross.org. —Individual youth (or par-ents) can obtain a coupon code to register for a course online by contacting Gwen Werners-bach. All free trainings are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis and will be offered until the grant funding is exhausted. If demand is high, this may oc-cur prior to Aug. 31. Eligibility is restricted to organizations and individuals in Larimer,

Weld, Morgan, Washington, Logan, Yuma, Phillips and Sedgwick counties. “Many teens’ first job is as a baby sitter. Baby-sitting is a great opportunity to hone lead-ership and entrepreneurship skills as well as to earn some income. Having a Red Cross certification provides both es-sential on-the-job skills and a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” said Erin Moun-sey, executive director of the Red Cross Northern Colorado Chapter. “We are extremely grateful to an anonymous donor for mak-ing this opportunity possible. This free baby sitter’s training supports not only local kids’ education and economic op-portunities but also enhances the preparedness level of our community by training youth in lifesaving skills.” Youth ages 11-15 years old can gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to care for in-fants and school-age children. The purpose is to provide teenagers with the informa-tion and skills necessary to provide safe and responsible care for children in the ab-sence of parents or adult guardians. This training will help par-ticipants develop skills in lead-ership and professionalism, safety and safe play and first aid. Combining video, activi-ties, hands-on skills training and discussion, participants

get a complete learning experi-ence and a certification card to show clients. Topics include: —respond to emergencies and illnesses with first aid, rescue breathing and other ap-propriate care. —make decisions under pressure. —communicate with par-ents to learn household rules. —recognize safety and hy-giene issues. —manage young children. —feed, diaper and care for infants.

Dragons finish second at districts, qualify for regionalsBy Kyle Arnoldy

Every time it appeared as though the Holyoke baseball team was preparing to make a comeback in the 2A District 7 championship game, Yuma extended their lead just far enough to keep the Dragons at bay, as the top seeded Holyoke team fell 13-8 Saturday, May 11 in Akron. Holyoke and Yuma had squared off twice during the regular season with Holy-oke walking away from both games with a two-run victory, but Yuma was able to stifle the Holyoke offense just long

enough to hold on for the win Saturday.

Holyoke 8, Yuma 13 The Dragons, who finished the regular season with a col-lective batting average of .422, recorded just two hits in the first four innings of play in the district championship. They had no issues making contact, but would often hit directly to the defense. “We just didn’t have things going for us,” said coach John Zilla. “We were hitting the ball hard, but right at their kids. We just couldn’t put anything

together.” Meanwhile Yuma continued to hit the ball just out of reach of Holyoke infielders. Zilla commented on how frustrat-ing it is for the team to work to eliminate errors, but have a series of softly hit balls fall in for singles. Logan Zeiler crossed home on an Indian error in the fourth inning to put the Drag-ons on the board. After four innings, Yuma was clinging to a 3-1 lead. The Indians capitalized on three walks to begin the fifth inning, scoring two on a single

to cushion their lead. Holyoke reacted with a sense of urgency in the bot-tom of the fifth. Bradley Cum-ming smacked a line drive to left field for a single on the first at-bat of the inning and scored on the next at-bat as his older brother, Brett Cum-ming, tripled to deep center. Brett would score on a Jaydin Goldenstein sacrifice fly to left field to bring the Dragons back within two runs. After a few singles and a walk, a Dragon error opened the door for three Indians to cross home plate in the sixth inning. Three more Yuma players would score, including one who was walked in, before the Dragons could stop the bleeding. Holyoke faced an 11-3 deficit heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. With two outs in the sixth, Trevor Dalton doubled to the right-center gap, scoring two Dragons. Dalton got caught

trying to stretch the hit into a triple, ending the inning with HHS trailing 11-5. With a walk and a hit batter to begin the seventh inning, an Indian double scored two more Yuma runs, extending the lead to 13-5. Holyoke began the bottom of the seventh inning strong. Jay-din Goldenstein reached base on an infield single and Jesus Hermosillo doubled off the left-field fence. Tharp picked up an RBI on an infield single and Dylan Kotch knocked in a run on a sacrifice fly. Bradley Cumming kept the game alive with a single down the third-base line for another run but the comeback would fall short on the next at-bat as HHS fell 13-8. Dalton threw the first three innings for Holyoke, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one batter. Tharp took over in the fourth inning, allowing

two runs to score before being taken out in the fifth. Deyten Klein took over in the fifth inning and allowed four runs before leaving the game after hyperextending his leg in the sixth. Alfredo Santos finished out the game for the Dragons, allowing four runs on four hits. Bradley Cumming led the Dragons with three hits in the game. Brett Cumming, Hermosillo and Tanner Smith each had two hits in the game as well.

Upcoming action The 2A field is now down to just 16 teams. Holyoke enters the 2A Re-gional Baseball Tournament as the No. 12 team in the state and will compete in Region 2 of the bracket at Niwot High School. HHS will face fifth-seeded Paonia in the first round, Sat-urday, May 18 at 10 a.m. Peyton, No. 13, will face fourth-seeded Lutheran Saturday at 10 a.m. and the winners will square off at 1 p.m. The winner will move on to the semifinal round of the state tournament bracket Saturday, May 25 at 12:30 p.m. at the All-Star Park in Lakewood. “Hopefully we can go out there and make a strong showing for Holyoke and our league,” Zilla said. “We just have to be ready to swing the bat, put the ball in play and have no mental mistakes.”

HHS takes care of business in first2 games of district tournament

By Kyle Arnoldy As they did for most of the season, the HHS baseball team dominated in the first two rounds of the 2A District 7 Baseball Tournament in Ak-ron, knocking off Merino 16-2 and Wray 10-0. “We didn’t make mistakes,” said coach John Zilla. “We put the ball in play and we were aggressive on the base path. We just got things rolling.”

Holyoke 10, Wray 0 In the semifinal round of the district tournament, Holyoke, who entered the tournament with the No. 1 seed, handed fourth-seeded Wray a 10-0 loss as they qualified for the cham-pionship game with ease. With the team’s capability to score runs on any one swing of the bat, and the near-perfect defense led by pitcher Deyten Klein, the Dragons were a force to be reckoned with. Brett Cumming began the bottom of the first inning with a stand-up double to get things started for the Dragons. He would score two batters later as Jaydin Goldenstein hit a sacrifice fly to right field, giv-ing the Dragons a 1-0 advan-tage. HHS went off for five runs on three hits in the second in-ning, highlighted by a grand slam by Brett Cumming. Holyoke scored two more runs in the fifth as Trevor Dalton, Goldenstein and Jesus Her-mosillo all singled in the inning. Bradley Cumming and Dal-ton each crossed home in the sixth inning to secure the 10-0 victory for the Dragons. Klein was untouchable on the mound for Holyoke. In six innings of work, he only gave up two hits while striking out four Wray batters. Coach Zilla commented that Klein did a great job of getting opposing hitters to ground out. Dalton was solid at shortstop, quickly throwing out any bat-ter who hit his way. Brett Cumming and Dalton each posted two-hit perfor-mances in the game to lead the Dragons. Brett Cumming was also responsible for four runs batted in.

Holyoke 16, Merino 2 To kick off the district tour-nament, Holyoke put a 16-2 whooping to the eighth-seeded Merino Rams. Merino actually lit up the scoreboard first with a run in the first inning. The lead would not stick as the Dragons picked up two runs in the bottom half of

the first inning on a two-run round-tripper for Dalton. With the two teams knotted at two apiece after Merino scored again, Brett Cumming gave the Dragons some breath-ing room. He lifted a pitch over the outfield fence for a grand slam in the third inning, giv-ing Holyoke plenty of momen-tum to put the Rams away. The Dragons rattled off seven runs in the third, then turned around and scored another seven in the fourth for the 16-2 lopsided victory. As to not overexert the pitch-ing staff in the first game of the tournament, Alfredo San-tos, Logan Tharp and Golden-stein all split pitching duties.

Santos started the game for the Dragons. In two innings, he allowed two runs on three hits and two walks. Tharp allowed just one hit and one walk in two innings while striking out one. Goldenstein picked up the save, retiring three of the five batters he faced in the fifth in-ning. He gave up just one hit while hitting and walking one batter as well. Hermosillo and Tharp each had three hits in the game while Brett Cumming and Dal-ton had two hits a piece. Dalton had a huge day at the plate as he knocked in five runs. Brett Cumming accounted for four runs batted in and Hermosillo added another three RBIs.

2 Dragons heading to state track meet May 16-18By Kyle Arnoldy

Holyoke tracksters closed out the season at the LPAA/YWKC League Champion-ships in Wray Saturday, May 11. The boys scored 95 points to finish in fourth while the girls placed ninth, scoring 52 points. Jacinda Krueger and Carlos Diaz will represent Holyoke at the state meet Thursday-Saturday, May 16-18. Krueger earned the No. 12 seed in the 300-meter hurdles and the 16th-seed in the 100-me-ter dash. Diaz will compete in the high jump, entering the meet in a nine-way tie for the No. 14 seed.

Diaz, who coach Luke Thom-as said only competed in the high jump two other times in the season, entered the event moreso as an end-of-the-year fun event and ended up quali-fying for state. “It is rewarding to see it happen for him,” Thomas said. “Good things are going to happen. We are all proud of him.” Thomas noted the main concern is keeping the two ath-letes focused as they enter the last week of the season. Prac-tices will aim to improve tech-nique and build confidence while making sure muscles are rested and ready for competi-tion.

Thomas said many kids were just outside of the top-18 times, distances or heights needed to qualify for state. “We had a bunch of young kids on the cusp of making a run for state,” Thomas said. “It is going to be a very successful program if they stick around and work hard.” Daniel Bencomo was just six inches short from qualify-ing in the discus. The boys’ 4x200-meter relay team was on pace to post a qualifying time Saturday, but going into the last leg of the race, a fallen runner entered into Holyoke’s lane, forcing T.J. Gertner to slow down, stutter step and jump the human obstacle. Thomas believes that at the pace the team was running, they would have easily quali-fied. “I am so proud of all of the athletes,” Thomas said. “They worked hard and made it a very rewarding year for me and the other coaches as well.”

Boys’ results 100-meter dash—T.J. Gert-ner, fifth, :12.39. 800-meter run—Ryan Parker, second, 2:09.17; and Matt Gold-en, fifth, 2:20.93. 3200-meter run—Morgan Golden, eighth, 12:42.29. 110-meter hurdles—Carlos Diaz, third, :18.66. 4x100-meter relay—Marques Harvey, Fernando Rojo, Eric Rojo and Bencomo, fourth, :56.41. 4x200-meter relay—Andrew Kent, Parker, Cruz and Gert-ner, second, 1:40.21. 4x400-meter relay—Cruz, Gertner, Kent and Parker, third, 3:53.25.

Lady Dragon golfers end season as league champs

By Kyle Arnoldy Holyoke’s girls’ golf team finished the season on a high note, placing first in the league tournament in Brush Monday, May 13. The win also gave HHS the top spot in league standings for the season. “The season was a bit of a struggle with the weather and trying to find time to practice, but in the end, the girls stepped up and did what they needed to do on the last day to hold off the other teams and win league,” coach Garrett Gordon said. With a team score of 317, Ho-lyoke topped Yuma and Wray

by one stroke to win the tour-nament. Makayla Spitz carded a 97 in the tournament to lead the team. Alyssa Cordova and Caitlyn Kramer each posted a 110 and Alex McCallum shot a 140. Gordon commended his team for their perseverance. He said they never gave up and were able to accomplish many of their goals, including win-ning league.

Girls fall short at regionals With weather causing a number of postponements throughout the season, the league championship was actually played after the re-

gional tournament, which was held Tuesday, May 7 in Ft. Morgan. “The overall condition of the course in Ft. Morgan was difficult because of the spring weather they have had,” Gor-don said. In the tournament, Holyoke placed eighth, shooting a score of 361. Spitz led the team with a 115, Cordova shot a 117, Kramer 129 and McCallum 139. “None of them played how they would have liked, but it was a great learning experi-ence for them down the line for competition situations,” Gordon said.

Racers put on a show for fansat Phillips County Raceway

By Ryan Quam For the second time this year, racers took to the Phillips County Raceway to duke it out on the dirt track Saturday, May 11. New lights were put up in the corners to help the view. The track was in great shape with three-wide, no-dust rac-ing. Racers will return to action Saturday, May 25 for the Memo-rial Day Weekend races.

IMCA mod results An unfortunate turn one incident occurred when pole sitter Beau Speicher (73) got turned the wrong direction and knocked out Ryan Gay-lord (15), Greg Sharpe (65) and local favorite John Hansen (8H). This took out four of the top eight and allowed Jeremy Frenier (17J) to capitalize by moving up to the second row from the fifth row without hav-ing completed a lap. John Burrow Jr. (28) led the field to restart, and held on to the top spot for three laps be-fore giving it up to Frenier and Jesse Taylor (12). There was very little doubt once Frenier rolled into the lead as he built up a straightaway advantage on Taylor. Burrow eventually cut down a tire, giving way to Garrett Sporhase (11s), Bubba Alva-rado (ww2) and Fast Eddie

Edwards (98).

IMCA sport mod results Jacob Fehler (29) had his eyes on the prize, leading all but one lap, the most impor-tant lap, of the SportMod fea-ture event. Jacob Adler (18A) had start-ed second row but didn’t look like he was going to catch Fe-hler, still looking for his first win, before the checkered flag would fly. That all changed when Trev-or Geist (10) brought out a late caution on lap 12 of 15, which re-stacked the field and made it a four-lap shoot-out to the fin-ish. Adler was all over Fehler the second the race restarted with Ryan Moser (18C) in tow. In each corner, Adler would pull down low side by side with Fehler, but Fehler would have just enough to maintain the top spot coming out of the corners and down the stretches. On the final lap Fehler got a little too high into the marbles, making way for Adler and Moser to pass him on the low side. This was Adler’s second straight win at PCR, follow-ing a third-place finish at I-76 last week. Troy Douglas (848) finished fourth and Tom Quint (14) finished fifth.

Rocky Mountain lightning

sprints results Auston Pribbenow (71A) start-

ed outside pole and never looked back as he led flag to flag. That’s not to say he wasn’t challenged, however. Troy Ul-lery (1) was glued to his bumper for a good portion of the race before a last lap spin in turn three ended his run. In the oth-er battle of the night for what ended up being second, Paul Babich (69) and Troy Simpson (56) put on a good show. Babich ended up holding off Simpson and took second place after his win last week at I-76. Glenn Waterland (11) finished fourth and Tim Snelling (24F) ended up fifth.

IMCA hobby stock results

Rhett Proctor (65) traveled all the way from Rocky Ford to capture his first win in his first trip to PCR this racing season. Ron Edge (3r) had built a half straightaway lead on Proctor until he encountered an issue with a flat tire. This allowed Proctor to take control of the race as no other driver mounted a serious challenge the rest of the way. Jim Moore (54) finished second, William McGinnis (20j) third, Colt Gibbs (51) and Edge rounded out the top five.

IMCA stock car results

Justin Bussell (11B) was an absolute freight train Saturday night at PCR.

Winners in the IMCA mod division pose with their tro-phies after the race. Pictured from left are Jesse Taylor, sec-ond; Jeremy Frenier, first; and Garrett Sporhase of Holyoke, third.

Saturday night’s IMCA sport mod winners, pictured from left, included Ryan Moser, second; Jacob Adler of Holyoke, first; and Jacob Fehler, third.

Justin Bussell dominated the IMCA stock car race Saturday, May 11, taking home a first-place finish in the event.

From the moment the green flag dropped, he was clearly the one to beat. Lloyd Meeske (32) had second place pretty well tied up for most of the race, but there was a battle for third between Jesse Taylor (05) and Kelly Yutterman (12). Unfortunately for Taylor, he had a tire go down and had to pull off the track giving up third to Yutterman. Jason Noy-es (5n), Johnny Yutterman (18) and Jesse Taylor (05) rounded out the top five.

CDOT launches motorcycle safety, awareness campaign Motorcycle crashes killed 82 riders and passengers on Colorado’s roads last year. Over two-thirds of those killed (69 percent) were not wearing a helmet, so the Colorado De-partment of Transportation is reminding riders they have a choice to wear gear to prevent deadly crashes. May marks Motorcycle Safety Month in Colorado, just in time for the launch of CDOT’s motorcycle safety and public awareness campaign, which runs through the end of August and targets young motorcycle riders, ages 18-34, because these riders have the most potential to influence future generations of riders to choose to wear gear. The new campaign will focus on increasing rider awareness of the dangers and consequences of not wearing gear, as well as empowering all riders to choose to gear up for safety. “There are two different kinds of motorcycle riders: riders who have crashed and riders who have not crashed yet,” said Darrell Lingk, direc-tor of the Office of Transporta-tion Safety at CDOT. “This new campaign targets younger motorcycle riders because they are the ones who can help set the precedent for future generations of riders by showing them that wearing

gear is imperative to protect them from very serious or even gruesome injuries in the event of a crash. Motorcycle gear now comes in a variety of types and styles, and it can make a statement in terms of their own personality.” To illustrate the idea that wearing gear makes one look cooler than not wearing gear, CDOT took a new approach this year by partnering with pro-duction company OneFloorUp to create a two-minute video that shows a time-lapse make-over of a rider to reveal what a crash survivor would look like if they didn’t wear gear. The video features Cody Carson, 25-year-old experi-enced Colorado motorcycle rider, receiving a “crashed” makeover from professional makeup artist Maryann Wil-liams. The makeup depicts the most common injuries seen by crash victims not wearing gear, including deep abrasions, face fractures and burns, according to Dr. Pat Offner, trauma physi-cian at a local Denver hospital. “I don’t always wear my helmet and gear if I am rid-ing just around the corner to the grocery store,” said Cody. “But after seeing myself in the mirror made up with crash injuries, it was a reality check. Now I know I would rather choose to be hot in my helmet over facing the physical and

emotional damages caused by a crash.” In addition to this video that will be shared online across social media sites including YouTube and CDOT’s website, the campaign features online web banners, print ads in motorcycle enthusiast publi-cations and posters in biker-friendly bars and restaurants, all aimed at encouraging rid-ers to make the choice to wear gear every time they ride, no matter the distance. “CDOT has never creat-ed anything like this video before,” remarked Lingk. “Rather than telling riders to wear gear, this campaign emphasizes that riders have a choice. After seeing this video, we hope that the message will become loud and clear that wearing gear is a better alter-native to sustaining injuries and risking their life.” Overall, motorcycle fatali-ties are up slightly from 78 in 2011 to 82 in 2012. Weld County recorded the highest number of motorcycle fatalities last year, a significant jump in fatalities from four in 2011 to 11 in 2012. El Paso County also saw 11 fatalities, with Jef-ferson and Boulder counties ranking among the next high-est counties with eight and seven fatalities respectively.

Choirs present program packed with music Vocal students define music as “It’s not what I do, it’s who I am,” and they certainly took that to heart and to the stage Thursday, May 9 at their annual spring con-cert in the HHS auditorium. Under the direction of vocal teacher Marcia Dalton, Holyoke junior high and high school choirs entertained with a vari-ety of songs. Dalton also teamed up with Maury Kramer to lead the Select Choir called Sound Check. Sharon Strauss helped out on piano accompaniment. Song selections for the junior high group included “Seize the Day,” “Light Up the World” and “Good Time,” with soloists Tyler Lamm, Drew Stewart, Mackenzie Golden, Regan Van Overbeke, Cassidy Hale and Mariah Pell. High school choir took the stage for an impressive “Les Miserables Medley,” featuring soloists Megan Vieselmeyer, Dani Brandt, Lori McWilliams, Kaety Overton, Destiny Loh-

man and Sidney Struckmeyer. The HHS vocalists also sang “Inscription of Hope” with Tay-lor Goldenstein on flute and nar-rator Logan Gift and “Anyway” with soloist Alex McCallum. Sound Check had a big night with several numbers. The funny “Forever Polyester” featured soloists Eva Penzing and Ben Martinez, while solo-ist Jose Jaquez led the group in

“Some Nights.” A tricky rou-tine with glow-in-the-dark cups highlighted Sound Check’s “Home” song. The Sound Check ladies sang “A Thousand Years” with Martinez on guitar, as well as “Landslide,” with gui-tarists Martinez and Jaydin Goldenstein and soloists Erin Vieselmeyer, Elissa Baker and Camille Elliott.

Martine z and Golden-stein took center stage again with their guitars when the Sound Check men performed “Rhythm of Love,” featuring Goldenstein as soloist. Both junior high and high school choirs combined for “Bonse Aba” with soloists Struckmeyer and Gift and “Like an Eagle” with piano ac-companist Whitney Powell. Pre-concert and concert entertainment allowed many junior high and high school vo-calists to get some experience in front of a crowd with solos and small group numbers. Thursday’s solos included “Listen” by Overton,“Red is the Rose” by McCallum, “Dan-

ny Boy” by Lohman, “I Will Always Love You” by Gabriela Masis, “You Raise Me Up” by Elliott and “When I’m Gone (The Cup Song)” by Powell, as well as songs by Jaxie Gerk, Autumn Higgs, Logan Osborne and Mackenzie Thompson. Duets were “Worn” by Jaxie and Chandler Gerk, “Born Again” by Baker and Jaquez, “Blessings” by Erin and Me-gan Vieselmeyer, “As Long as You Love Me” by Brittney Prottsman and Trevor Dalton with guitarist Martinez and “For Good” by Powell and Em-ily Krogmeier, as well as duets by Overton and Becca Weaver, Kaitlyn Shafer and Tara Krue-ger and Megan Humphreys

and Brendan Mayden. Ensembles included Krog-meier, Powell, Osborne, Krue-ger, Jaxie Gerk, Thompson and Juana Penzing singing “Clouds” and a trio of America Gonzales Burciaga, Rosmery Turcios and Jasmine Cazares. Dalton recognized and honored the vocal seniors at Thursday’s concert. They in-cluded Jordan Bernard, Alexis Lenhart, Weaver, Baker, Elliott, Erin Vieselmeyer, Goldenstein, Jaquez and Martinez. She also said goodbye to exchange stu-dent Elli Ahro. At last week’s academic awards presentation, Dalton awarded Martinez the Na-tional Choral Award.

Destiny Lohman takes the mic for a solo in the high school choir’s “Les Miserables Medley.”

Nearly 170 Holyoke students grades K-12 participated in National Bike to School Day Wednesday, May 8.

Holyoke students were all smiles as they made the loop around the fields between HHS and the elementary school for National Bike to School Day Wednesday, May 8. The event was put together by the health advisory committee at Holyoke School District to encourage students and parents to discuss the importance of bike safety.

Along with awarding the best decorated bike, four hel-mets were donated by CSU Extension for a drawing for those involved. Regan Van Overbeke won the bike decorating con-test and winners of the helmets included Marren Dirks, Juan Olivas, Austin Durbin and Crystal Astorga Solis.

Parameters adopted to guide 2013-14 school budget draftBy Brenda Johnson Brandt Reviewing prior budget discussion, Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Educa-tion approved parameters for 2013-14 to set the direction for drafting the new year budget. Adoption of the parameters was approved at the May 7 board meeting. Budget options will be reviewed at the May 21 meeting. Ten budget parameters for 2013-14 follow: —The preliminary budget will be built using a student count of 585, with no increase or decrease from 2012-13. —The preliminary budget may include a portion of the fund balance as revenue as long as it does not exceed $200,000 or decrease the projected ending fund balance below the $1.2 million target. The board will review options based on using $150,000 of reserve, half of the projected available amount, to see how it impacts meeting budget priorities. —Personnel expenditures are the top priority. Steps should be funded, as should the increased PERA employer contribution. —The district needs to in-crease health insurance con-tributions so employees do not have a negative increase and at least one plan is fully funded. —The district shall continue to evaluate class sizes and adjusting internally to needs while making lowering class size in the primary grades as the top priority for new full-time equivalent employees. —Providing extended learn-ing opportunities is a top prior-ity for any new funds targeting the most at-risk students. —Explore options to add additional ESL teachers and support staff. —The board understands that capital projects are a priority but will allow some flexibility in 2013-14 to reduce the capital expenditures if needed. —Maintaining the technol-ogy implementation schedule is a budget priority. —The district shall continue to explore and evaluate innova-tive approaches to increasing revenue in an effort to offset the need for ongoing budget cuts.

New second-gradeteacher hired

Kortney Firme was hired as a second-grade teacher for 2013-14. She earned her bach-elor’s degree from Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb. Firme has five years teach-ing experience, all in the first grade. That includes three years in Gretna, Neb. and two years in Virginia Beach, Va. In other personnel action at last week’s meeting, the board approved 2013-14 probationary and non-probationary teacher renewals, as well as notice of employment for classified em-ployees. A 15-minute executive ses-sion with Superintendent Bret Miles was held for personnel discussion prior to any action. Probationary teacher renew-als were approved for Nicholas Balog, Allie Billings, Nicole Churchwell, Carly Daniel, Cut-ter Garrison, Wendy Groth-man, Sharon Jones, Tarah Kas-dorf, Maury Kramer, Chris-tina Martinez, Miko Martinez, Karen Pieper, Kelsey Reimink, Crystal Rigel, Luke Thomas and John Zilla. Contracts for 2013-14 were approved for the following non-probationary teachers: John Baumgartner, Cindi Beavers, Yesenia Bencomo, Kimberlee Bennett, Stefan Betley, Heather Bieber, Ashley Clayton, Marcia Dalton, Scott Dille, Kerri Gardner, Andrea Kammer, Natalie Krogmeier, Laura Loutensock, Summer Maloney, Chandra Parker, Kristie Pelle, Angela Powell, Sandra Rahe, Kari Sandquist, Lynn Schneider, Rhonda Smith and Theresa Tharp. Classified staff recommend-ed for employment in 2013-14 include secretaries Tancy King, Brenda Krueger and Lori Thompson; HR/payroll clerk, Joan Price; budget and finance director, Sharon Thompson.

Educator effectiveness work updated

Progress made by the lead-ership team with the teacher evaluation policy development was shared by Miles at last week’s meeting. He reported that 50 percent of teacher standards will be weighted by element rather than by standard and that the individual/collective split will be 70/30. Miles also noted the recom-mended criteria from the lead-ership team for the 50 percent student learning outcomes data. It includes 25 percent class-room-based measures, 5 per-cent TCAP growth, 5 percent Northwest Evaluation As-sociation growth, 5 percent UIP goals, 5 percent school performance frameworks and 5 percent graduation rate. Leadership team members were scheduled to share final recommendations with their groups this week. At the May 15 meeting they were to final-ize the data sources and review the rest of the policy in prepa-ration for a presentation at the May 21 board meeting.

Curriculum Consortium moves forward

An update of the collabora-tive work of 11 districts was given as they form a consor-

tium to implement the state sample curriculum and the new Colorado academic stan-dards. Principals and superinten-dents from the 11 districts were scheduled to meet May 9 to review the expectations and agreements developed for this project. Immediately on the agenda will be soliciting feedback from teachers as to the se-quence of units in the state sample curriculum. Miles noted that while there are many unknowns to the new curriculum and to the collaboration of teachers next year, they are much better off than writing curriculum themselves or trying to meet the expectations of the new standards in isolation.

Other business In other business at the May 7 meeting, the Re-1J board: —noted a retirement recep-tion on Tuesday, May 21 from 3:45-5 p.m. in the elementary school cafeteria for Mary Aus-tin, Kristie Ham and Cathy Sullivan. —voiced support for the Safe 2Tell safety resource program and will bring approval of a membership renewal to the May 21 meeting. —heard the Colorado High School Activities Association legislative committee report from Jon King, with highlights from a recent rules meeting reported by athletic director Sandra Rahe. The rule change that passed at the recent meeting is for wrestling. Thirty-one points are allowed during a season. Duals were dropped from one point to a half point to encour-age more dual competition.

The Northeast Colorado Health Department received word that a cat has tested posi-tive for rabies near the Wash-ington/Yuma County lines. The cat was an ill outdoor cat that bit and/or scratched an adult and minor. Those individuals have been started on post-expo-sure rabies prophylaxis. Although this is the first con-firmed rabid animal in Wash-ington County since 2007, it is the second cat to test positive for rabies in northeast Colora-do since January, and it brings the total rabid animal count, year-to-date, to 23 in northeast Colorado. NCHD has a new geographi-cal map on their website, www.nchd.org, that documents the locations of the rabid animals found in the region this year. “We’ve been surprised for some time that we haven’t had any positive rabid animals re-ported in [Washington County], due to the fact that we’re seeing numbers escalate across our other counties,” said Dr. Tony Cappello, NCHD’s public health director. “The fact that we’re seeing this virus in a cat for the first time in Washington County, rather than a skunk, lets us know that there’s a high prob-ability the virus has already spilled over into other wildlife

and confirms our suspicions it’s been here all along.” Cappello went on to stress that the best form of protection for pets and family members is to make sure animals are up to date on their rabies vaccina-tions. “People don’t often approach skunks or other wildlife if they are acting strange or appear ill, but it’s typical for family members to want to handle or comfort their own pets if they think there’s a problem; that’s where we’re seeing human exposures through bites and scratches of their own pets,” said Cappello. “This is the reason a rabies vaccination for your pets offer the best protection. It’s also easy and affordable to obtain from your veterinarian, and a very logical alternative to a family member having to receive post-exposure prophy-laxis, which is quite expensive and involves a series shots.” Cappello stressed that in order for a rabies vaccination to be recognized under state statute, it must be administered

Rabid cat found in Washington County; human exposure confirmed

by a licensed veterinarian. Vac-cinations given by pet owners are not considered adequate if there is a suspected or con-firmed rabies exposure. The recommended course of action for non-vaccinated pets in this instance is euthanasia. If anyone witnesses a suspect-ed rabid skunk or other wild animal, they should contact the sheriff ’s office or local police in their area. To prevent pos-sible exposure to rabies, health experts warn residents to keep their pets’ vaccinations up to date; leave wildlife alone, do not take in stray animals, especially feral cats; and if they suspect a family member or pet has been bitten or scratched, contact a medical provider or local veteri-narian immediately. For more information on rabies, contact NCHD at 970-522-3741 or visit www.nchd.org to view a list of frequently asked questions about the virus and a geographical map of rabid animals in northeast Colorado. For information on rabies vaccinations, contact a local veterinarian.

Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. When coupled with a healthy diet, exercise puts men and women on a path toward opti-mal health while reducing risk for a host of ailments, some of which can be deadly. But many people find they simply don’t have the time to exercise regularly. Commit-ments to career and family can be demanding and time-consuming, and exercise is often a casualty of a hectic schedule. Though getting to the gym every day or even making use of exercise equipment at home on a daily basis may not be fea-sible, that doesn’t mean people still can’t find ways to incorpo-rate a little exercise into their daily routines. The following are a few simple ways to fit more exercise into the day no matter how busy people are. —Turn TV time into tread-mill time. Watching a little television at night is how many people relax and unwind, but it can be a great time to squeeze in some daily exercise as well. Opinions as to what’s the best time of day to exercise vary, and no definitive study exists to suggest one time of day is better than another. People who like to relax with a little television time at night should make the most of that time by hitting the treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike instead of just plopping down on the couch. Add a tele-vision to the home’s exercise room or purchase a gym mem-bership where the cardiovas-

cular machines are connected to televisions. Enjoy favorite shows while simultaneously getting the benefit of exercise. —Say “bon voyage” to the conference room. Profession-als who spend lots of time in meetings can add a simple twist that incorporates exer-cise into a typical business meeting. Rather than conduct-ing the meeting in a confer-ence room, propose a walking meeting when possible. A walking meeting is the same as a standard business meeting, but it’s conducted on foot outside of the office. Walk-ing meetings can provide some much-needed energy for staff members, people who may ap-preciate the chance to get out from behind their desks and stretch their legs while still getting work done. Take smartphones or tablets along to jot down important ideas, just like a more tradi-tional meeting. And make the most of the walk by leaving time for some light stretching before and after the meeting. Chances are employees will re-turn to their desks reenergized and glad they found a way to get some exercise despite a busy schedule. —Park far away when shop-ping. It’s tempting and almost human nature to hunt for the parking spot closest to the door when shopping down-town or even at the grocery store. But for those who want to include more exercise in their daily routines, parking far away from the entrance to favorite stores is a great way to

incorporate more walking into one’s life. Walking is a simple yet effec-tive cardiovascular exercise, one that the Mayo Clinic notes can lower blood pressure and manage weight while lower-ing low-density lipoprotein, which is commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol. In fact, research has indicated that regular, brisk walking can be just as effective at lowering a person’s risk of heart attack as more vigorous exercise, including jogging. —Avoid the elevator, and attack the stairs. The eleva-tor may be inviting, but it’s also somewhat of an enabler. Instead of taking the elevator up to the office each day, take the stairs, and take them with more gusto than usual. Rather than taking one step at a time, take the stairs two by two, lifting legs high for each pair of steps. This helps build leg muscles and makes the daily climb up the staircase a little more strenuous. Many adults find they sim-ply don’t have the time to commit to routine exercise, but there are several simple ways to incorporate exercise into existing routines without taking time from an already busy day.

May calendar page highlights bank The description on the photo used for the May page in the Enterprise’s quasquicentennial calendar simply said “Phillips County Bank,” which Enterprise staff is hoping refers to the Phillips County State Bank in Holyoke. If this is, in fact, that bank, a new building was constructed at the southeast corner of the Denver/Interocean intersec-tion (currently the Lions Club Mini Park north of Scheun-emann’s), and perhaps this is a photograph of that new building! Opening day at the new up-to-date bank building was Dec. 3, 1910. Early newspapers said the room occupied by the bank was fitted with all the modern fixtures and had two fire- and burglar-proof vaults, one containing the safety deposit boxes accessible from the main room or lobby and the other used

by the bank proper and only accessible from “behind the bars.” The building was described as being electric lighted and hot water heated and was very handsomely finished throughout. Other areas of the building included office rooms, a barber shop in the basement and a lodge in the upper story. The main Holyoke intersection was dominated by banks in the early 1900s, with the Farmers and Merchants Bank in the southwest corner and the Citizens State Bank in the northwest corner. In February 1978, the Phillips County State Bank build-ing (then Ralph’s Bar) burned and was gutted in a fire. If anyone has more information about this photo, please contact the Enterprise office!

Students of the MonthSelected by Holyoke JR/SR High Staff

Wyatt Powell Jaxie Gerk

Students of the month for April at Holyoke JR/SR High have been named. They are sophomore Wyatt Powell and eighth-grader Jaxie Gerk. Wyatt was nominated by Ashley Clayton. “In a recent project, Wyatt and his classmates had the opportunity to partner with the 21st Century Skills class to participate in a Big Buddy program with the first-grade classes at the elemen-tary. Throughout the project it was evident that Wyatt took his position as a role model very seriously. He was constantly encouraging kids as they read to him, giving them high fives for a job well done and words of encouragement when they got off track. As a big buddy, Wyatt truly demonstrated what it means to RISE to EXCELLENCE.” Jaxie was nominated by Sarah Dille. “I am delighted to share that Jaxie Gerk is my first nomination for Student of the Month. I have noticed that Jaxie has demonstrated ALL of the RISE to Excellence characteristic traits—not just for the month of April, but for the entire year, each and every day. I’ve enjoyed watching her confidence grow in the math classroom and in her extra-curricular activities, like volleyball and music. She is such a hard worker that when she brings out her smile, it is such a joy to see.
