BOHO READY TO GO
Sep 14th
The Transitional Season
BOHO has opened programs at two sites every night this past summer. Our programs offer our 
guests safe, legal sleeping, and compared to the EWC, less crowding and a quieter experience better focused on individual guest needs:
Resident’s Shelter is open to chronically homeless residents with a record of good behavior
Women’s Shelter is open to chronically homeless women residents with a record of good behavior.
What about the transition to winter? Women’s and Residents Shelters will continue to operate on a nightly basis. EWCs operate whenever weather is severe (such as the Flood). Almost all EWC activity, though, occurs in October through April. In four out of the past five years, BOHO opened an EWC in May; in three out of the past five years, BOHO opened an EWC in September (including the Flood). BOHO is always on standby to open an EWC.
How are Host Sites notified? During the winter, host sites make the very generous commitment to keep their facilities available on a certain week-night, every week. In May through September, when BOHO recognizes that a forecast storm may trigger a need for an EWC, BOHO will locate and 
confirm a site for each night that an EWC may be required. Both BOHO and our guests realize that these are ad hoc occasions, and that our host sites may not be able to offer the levels of hospitality planned during the winter season. That does not reduce our gratitude for the love and generosity you are showing by hosting.
How is BOHO staff notified? Staff will be notified by our communications chain each night an EWC is opened. The EWC staff members on duty on a particular night may not be members of the team that served at that location during the winter, but they will be fully qualified. BOHO trains staff during the summer. Any staff members who are in training are in additional positions and under direct, one-on-one supervision by our veteran staff members.
How are guests notified? All message media currently state that EWCs are closed until further notice. During the winter EWC season, BOHO issues a daily e-mail with the EWC location (and during weather-dependent fall and spring times, includes the daily open or closed message). Facebook and the hotline carry the same messaging and are updated daily Oct through April.
We will shortly begin our Fall fundraising campaign. Please make BOHO a priority in your giving, as you have so generously done in the past.
Burglary Bad Guy sought by Boulder Police!
Aug 19th
Suspect wanted in connection with numerous Boulder burglaries
Burglary Bad Guy on prowl.
Over the last several months, the Boulder Police Department has taken approximately 20 burglary reports from victims who describe similar circumstances and suspect descriptions. These burglaries are particularly concerning because the suspect targets homes when the residents are present and often times awake. Most of the burglaries have occurred west of Broadway. A few of the similarities are:
· Jewelry and cash are stolen and sometimes a pillowcase is used to remove the items.
· The suspect often cuts screens on open windows to get inside. He uses ladders found at the homes to climb onto roofs and balconies. He also leaps off of houses to escape when he is confronted by the victims.
· Most burglaries have occurred from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.; however a few have happened earlier.
The suspect is described as a white man in his early 20’s, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, 160 to 180 pounds, with dark hair and could be unshaven. Composite sketches are attached.
He may be driving a beige or tan older model SUV.
Police are asking anyone who may have information on these cases to please contact Detective Kara Wills at 303-441-3482. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.
Startup Boulder week 2014: reflection
May 18th
We at Boulder Channel 1 Employ 8 full time / part time people. Four of whom are in sales. They sit on the phones and or go to
selling ads on the phone and on the streets.
see Boulder retailers and sell advertising. They come from a group known as pitchmen (women). They hit the streets and talk to Boulder about our company and our ad packages. A typical package includes a video profile of their goods for a given season. We invented this here in Boulder and have created over 1000 business profiles since 1987. We also produce banner ads on our site only. We run Social media campaigns for customers and do PR too. Then we design and build websites for our advertising customers. We do promotions for them and we run focused ad campaigns on other platforms. We also do local appearances and remote broadcasts for advertisers where we come to a car dealership and broadcast live on a Saturday during a big sale. Or we will go to a restaurant and broadcast live and talk about the food , interview the chefs and owners.
We are both traditional Television and new media with a news and production department. So what does this have to do with Boulder Startup week 2014 ?? Absolutely, nothing except it gives us a chance to pitch Boulder Channel 1 and tell you about us and why you should use us.
Reason number 1 is that we are not minimalists. We are maximists we don’t lie to you. If you are going to spend your money with us here in Boulder we feel it is our responsibility to you and your retail operation that you get immediate response from advertising with us. If you don’t then fire us.
Reason Number 2 we are Boulder. we are from Boulder. We didn’t just move here and set up shop. We have been in business since 1975. Most of our customers are our friends from years of relationships or they become our friends.
Reason Number 3 We are on TV every day and night of the week on Comcast BV-22 which plays to 250,000 subscribers all over Boulder County. They include houses, apartments, businesses and CU dorm rooms. We are also on the net right here.
Reason Number 4 We are the voice of Boulder. We show all points of view and ask the tough questions. One tough question we have for StartUp Boulder is who are you and what do you stand for ?
We know that is is organized by a hippie homeless guy who calls himself a vagabond. We know a group of so called investors from Boulders App world get together drink beer, have chair races and party day and night call themselves the community. But are they trustworthy ?? Are they really from Boulder or are they former college students cycling through our city playing at business?? They all seem to be new here without jobs living off of mom and dad. And that is part of the Boulder Story too.
