Watch for Children Going Back to School

City Information

A message from Mayor Dennis Coombs As summer draws to a close and the new school year begins I want to remind everyone to be on the lookout for children walking and riding to school. Were fortunate in Longmont that so many homes are within walking distance of our great schools, but it also means that quiet neighborhood streets near schools again become beehives of activity. Drivers should watch out for children walking and bicycling to school and be aware that school zone signs will be flashing with lower speed limits before and after school. Parents should be patient when dropping off and picking up their kids at school. Even though you might be anxious to get to work or in a hurry to get your children to soccer practice, lets not risk our childrens safety to save 30 seconds. While drivers have a responsibility to slow down, pedestrians also must follow the rules of the road, especially at crosswalks. Thanks to City of Longmont Traffic Engineer Bob Ball for providing these reminders: Pedestrians cannot enter the crosswalk unless there is a safe distance between them and approaching traffic. Drivers must yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk but not necessarily on the sidewalk waiting to cross. Vehicles cannot overtake and pass a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian at a marked crosswalk. Along multiple-lane streets, such as Main Street in downtown, pedestrians should watch for vehicles in the far lane of traffic, even if traffic in the near lane has stopped. Pedestrians crossing a street should make eye contact with approaching drivers. If drivers dont make eye contact with you, they may not know youre there. Finally, I would like to encourage parents who always drive their children to school to sometimes let them walk or ride their bikes, especially on beautiful Colorado days. Your children will probably be more alert when they get to school, and you may find that walking or biking with them to school is a lot more fun for both you and your kids. Welcome back to school, and lets all make this a safe and happy school year for everyone.

Fireball Run starts in Longmont

Longmont has been selected as the Official Green Flag city for the 2013 Fireball Run Adventurally and its Race to Recover Americas Missing Children. Fireball Run is an emotional, eight day, 2500 mile, life-sized trivia game where America serves as the game board. Forty driving teams will participate in the event (including a Longmont team). At each of the eight destinations on their way to the finale in Riverside, California, the teams will solve clues and complete tasks based on each host city. Each team is assigned a missing child from their hometown region and they will distribute posters and bring awareness to each childs case along the route. To date, Fireball Run has aided in the recovery of 32 missing children. Fireball Run will be streamed live to a world audience and filmed as part of an online TV series. The riveting, live-event opening for the series will take place on Saturday, September 21 at Longmonts Roosevelt Park, in conjunction with Longmonts Oktoberfest celebration. The weekend full of exciting events culminates with a parade of all of the teams and green flag start on Sunday, September 22. For more up-to-date information regarding the event, please visit www.visitlongmont.org.

During the holidays, we all love a little turkey while gathering with family and friends. If you plan to fry your turkey, here are some things you should know: The oil is heated to such a high temperature for frying that the vapors can easily ignite and start a fire. Fryers often are bumped or tipped over in the cooking process, causing the hot oil to spill. If you use a turkey fryer in the rain or snow, the water hitting the oil can splash or turn to steam, both of which cause burns. The same effect occurs when the turkey is not fully thawed. Many house fires have started when fryers were moved indoors or into a garage to keep them out of the snow or rain. For more information contact the Longmont Fire Department Safety Coordinator at 303-651-8432.

Tis the season for decorating safely

City Information

In case of snow

Life doesnt stop because it snows. We understand how important it is to keep roads plowed so that residents can get to work or school or the grocery store. Its also important to keep roads passable for deliveries, mail and emergency services. Longmont Utility/Streets Operations & Maintenance has created a three-phase snow and ice plan that focuses on clearing snow from major streets. In most cases, this also includes removing snow and ice on collector and arterial streets. How snow and ice teams are deployed depends on current and predicted weather conditions and is categorized into four levels. These levels range from minor plowing and sanding to hiring contractors to assist with plowing to declaring an emergency. You can find the entire Snow and Ice Control Plan and see a snow plan map at www.ci.longmont.co.us For more information contact the Public Works & Natural Resources Call Center at 303-651-8416.

Replace incandescent holiday lighting with LED lights. They are cool to the touch no matter how long theyre on. Carefully inspect all your light strings for wear and tear, broken or cracked sockets and frayed wiring. Replace all damaged items before plugging in your lights. Turn off all lights and decorations before you leave home or go to bed. Avoid adding too many strings of Christmas lights to any one circuit, which could result in an electrical fire. Take care to follow the manufacturers directions about the number of lighting strands that can be connected. Keep live trees as moist as possible by keeping the tree stand full of water to reduce the risk of fire from dry needles. Place your tree in a sturdy stand designed to keep it from tipping over. Keep the tree at least three feet from any heat source, such as a fireplace or heating vent. Do not place the tree where it may block exits. Dispose of the tree safely when it begins dropping needles. Dry trees are highly flammable!

and dont forget to shovel

Snow is beautiful, but when it covers sidewalks it can be a serious safety hazard. Thats why the City requires property owners and tenants to clear their sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours after snow has stopped falling. Residents with north facing sidewalks need to be especially vigilant as those walks will never experience enough sunlight to melt snow or ice. If you will be away from home during snow season, or if youre physically unable to shovel, arrange to have a friend or neighbor shovel your walk for you. You also can contact the Snow Chasers program at 303-651-8495 for assistance for senior citizens and the disabled. City of Longmont code enforcement officers respond to complaints and proactively inspect sidewalks. If they find snowor ice-covered sidewalks they will issue a Notice of Violation. Failure to clear the sidewalks after a reasonable time will result in further legal action, and repeat offenders may be issued a summons to appear in Municipal Court. For more information about the regulations, visit www.ci.longmont.co.us/code_enf or call Code Enforcement at 303-651-8695. You also can call that number to report snow and ice violations.

If you own or are considering starting a small business, the City of Longmont can be one of your most valuable partners. The Citys Economic Vitality Division offers several assistance programs and educational resources that have helped many small businesses thrive in Longmont.

ONGMONT Every Independence Day, the biggest backyard party in town can be found at Thompson Park. Im all about the parades and stuff, but this is way better, said Shelley Kunselman, who hit the park at 7 a.m. to grab a shady picnic spot. I see a bunch of people I know, chat with them, and then make the rounds again in about an hour. And you cant beat the music. Or the heat. Temperatures rose through the 90s as the annual Longmont Symphony Orchestra concert and July 4 community picnic went on. Most families hugged the shade of a tree or an awning; two members of the Longmont Chorale briefly passed out from the warmth. No rain this year, opening singer Dan Wright told the crowd with a chuckle. Remember last year? Without the showers that washed the park in 2010 and almost canceled the event, patriotic decorations had free reign to take over every available space and table. Tri-color strawberries, with white

_ p o~ i qJ`~ LONGMONT Colorado Senate President Brandon Shaffer announced Monday night via YouTube that he will run for the 4th Congressional District in 2012. The video shows Shaffer addressing a group of friends and family during a backyard party on the Fourth of July. A lot of you know that we have been considering a very important decision in our family, Shaffer said. Be- Shaffer fore we announced our decision to the general public, we thought wed bring a group of very close friends and family and neighbors and people who have been very supportive over the years together to share the decision that weve made with you first. Tomorrow (Tuesday), I am going to announce that I am an official candidate for Congress. The announcement was met with cheers by the crowd and a teasing admonition to Get back to the food by Shaffer. Shaffer, D-Longmont, had considered running in 2008 but stepped aside for the candidacy of Betsy Markey, who defeated incumbent Republican Marilyn Musgrave. After current U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, a Republican, defeated Markey in her bid for re-election, Shaffers name was discussed as a possible challenger. The 4th CD has been at the center of a re-districting battle by the Legislature, with the exact lines to be considered by a judge this fall.

chocolate and blue sprinkles. Cookies shaped like the continental United States. Even a small white Old Glory Christmas tree, decorated to the hilt with wood-

block flags, USA cutouts and an Uncle Sam teddy bear, among other star-spangled touches. Everyone likes it, said the trees owner, Kathy Howell of

Erie. I am starting to reach saturation, but for now, I just keep adding things. Some keep adding people as well. For Evelyn Josephsohn, this came in the middle of her family reunion, with 25 people descending on Longmont from as far away as Montana. This is quite a special Fourth of July for us, she said, as the family set up its picnic table, entered in the afternoons contest as Red, White and Balloons, a name thought up by Josephsohns granddaughter. Its also the young ones, she noted, who were responsible for the familys picnic site: as close to the cannon for the 1812 Overture as possible. That same cannon made a few picnickers jump during the national anthem, as a mischievous Kim Knake set it off in time for The bombs bursting in air ... There seems to be a quick trigger around here, joked former Mayor Roger Lange, a master of ceremonies for the afternoon. Please see INDEPENDENCE, page A6

Another subject, a 14-year-old boy infected with HIV at birth by his mother, answers a question about future dating. He thinks it could work if she could just accept me for who I am rather than what I have.

launched the project in 2000. Years of privately listening to the testimonies of HIV-positive clients convinced them that a related video archive could be another resource in fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic, which hit the United States 30 years ago this summer.

But anyone who participates in the project needs to be prepared for the fact that clips of their interview could show up on NBC Nightly News, Miles said.
