I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s! It’s hard to believe how fast 2017 flew by and now we’re coming into the mid-term elections and the political activity will begin to come at us fast and furious. Check out the Calendar for the important dates – Caucus, etc. We certainly didn’t start the New Year off well with the tragic death of one of our finest men in Blue when 29-year old Douglas Co. Sheriff’s Deputy Zackari Parrish was killed in the line of duty by an ambush when he and other deputies answered a domestic 911 call. What a heartbreaking and needless death! I know we all are devastated by this evil act and our thoughts and prayers go out to Zack’s wife…

This last month has been one of devastation to our Country! With the hurricanes in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, it seemed like we could take no more! And then came the Las Vegas massacre! What a heartbreaking tragedy! As I’m writing this, we still do not know the reason why this man did such a horrendous act of evil. We have seen the worst and best of humanity. But the acts of heroism shown to the victims of the hurricanes and the victims of the slaughter in Vegas go to shine a light on how wonderful this Country is and how we care for our fellow citizens. We are blessed to have such a great and dedicated police force, first responders, fireman, doctors, nurses, and veterans, etc., plus just…

I hope all of you had a safe and Happy Labor Day weekend . . . this can’t be the end of summer, can it be?! So soon? As this is being written, we are all disheartened and concerned about another Hurricane headed for Florida . . . Irma looks to be catastrophic so our prayers are with all the people in Irma’s path. Both Texas and Florida++ victims will be needing our help so please be as generous as you can in supporting relief efforts! Unbelievably, Hurricane Jose is yet another one churning towards Florida. We are so fortunate to live in Colorado. On to more local news, we’re into another election that we all have to pay attention to . . . the Douglas County School Board will…
