County to host farm and ranch panel discussion on Jan. 19
Jan 13th
Boulder County, Colo. – As part of the development of the Boulder County Cropland Policy, the Parks and Open Space Department will host a panel discussion on farming and ranching in the county.
When: Wednesday, Jan. 19, 7-9 p.m.
Where: Monarch High School, 329 Campus Drive, Louisville.
Farmers will discuss their experiences and challenges as well as how they farm in Boulder County. The panel includes Famuer Rasmussen, Jr., Jules Van Thuyne, Jr., Dwayne Cushman, Dave Asbury, Anne Cure and Mark Guttridge, all of whom are farmers and ranchers currently working in the county.
The event will consist of a facilitator-led discussion among the farmers and ranchers followed by a moderated question-and-answer session. Questions will be drawn from those submitted by the audience.
In November, Parks and Open Space held a forum on sustainable agriculture that focused on policy. The farm and ranch panel discussion will offer a chance to focus on practice.
Please contact Resource Planner Jesse Rounds at 303-678-6271 or croplandpolicy@bouldercounty.org for more information.

Jefferson Parkway not Yah-way Seth Brigham stands alone as only voice against. Liz Payton Not with him
Dec 24th
Boulder Channel 1 erroneously printed a Liz Payton an article included in this article sent to us by Brigham. She has since written to us and stated that she has not teamed up with Seth and want her article removed which we have done. We are clear where Mr Brigham stands on Jefferson Parkway. We are not clear where Miss Payton stands. Boulder Channel One is in support of councils handling of Jefferson Parkway.
OPINION;
Yes, it seems there was almost unanimous opinion by even our elected officials generally stating that, “The Jefferson Parkway
Resolution,” is a bad idea with terrible implications, especially, for the surrounding area and communities. More urban sprawl, for what? 5 Million dollars that will be long gone, but, the “Park Less Way” will be here forever !!! In fact, at first glance this bondoogle appears to be a “boondoggle,” a project that wastes time and money, but in reality it’s a bizarre, sadistic, soul-stealing version of its better known cousin, a bondoogle.
For example, a bondoggle would be a 10-day trip to Rocky Flats for a 2-day shoot on the “Plutonium Preserve.”
While a bondoogle would be the same 10-day trip. Only it snows every day, the Rocky Flats Lounge gives you food poisoning and you’re forced to sit in your hotel in Louisville working 17-hours a day on an erectile dysfunction medication pitch to help out the home office. That, my friends, is being bondoogled. And, so there was a unanimous decision by Council to remain silent on future plans and pass prearranged “Resolution.” Yup, we got bondoggled, bondoogled and “bamboozled,” to practice trickery, deception, cozenage, or the like.
That’s what happens when “principles,” moral rules or beliefs that helps you know what is right and wrong and that influences your actions, gives way for some short term financial gain, all on the premise, the excuse, that we can’t do anything about it anyway. As a member of the public, I often play the part of “the fool,” One who subverts convention or orthodoxy or varies from social conformityin order to reveal spiritual or moral truth.But, I’m afraid we have elected a bunch of “fools,” a group deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding, who…
have served us another “fool,” A dessert made of stewed or puréed fruit mixed with cream or custard and served cold.That’s the dessert you’ve been served on your vacation to Rocky Flats!
