Retrofit upgrades with utility rebates help companies save on electric bills
Loveland, Colo. — Schlosser Signs, Inc. (www.schlossersigns.com), a leader in the design, manufacture and installation of signage in northern Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, has announced the addition of a new energy efficiency service division. The new department will evaluate the energy efficiency of customers’ existing lighting and signage and replace inefficient lighting with energy-saving LEDs and other lighting technology. This type of retrofit can save customers thousands of dollars a year in energy costs.
The new department is the brainchild of Ian Senesac, who brings eight years of experience working with a national corporate sign company to the local, family-owned business based in Loveland, Colorado. Senesac contacted Schlosser Signs with the idea for a service team dedicated to evaluating the energy efficiency of customers’ existing signs and lighting, and performing retrofits to those fixtures to reduce energy costs by as much as 80%. Schlosser’s new service team also offers expertise in taking advantage of regional rebate and incentive programs through local utility companies, which help to offset the initial cost of the retrofit upgrade.
LEDs (light emitting diodes) used to replace existing light sources are powered by just 12 volts, compared to traditional neon or fluorescent fixtures, which typically use between 120- and 15,000 volts. LEDs can be used in parking lot lamps, canopy lighting, cabinet signs, and more. An LED sign uses up to 40% less energy than other electronic signage. Retrofitting a neon sign can lead to a 75% reduction in energy costs. While the initial cost of LEDs is more than the cost of older, less-efficient technologies, the differential is more than made up by the savings in electricity use over the lifespan of the fixture and the reduced level of maintenance required.
Traditional bulbs have a life span of about 20,000 hours, or about two and a half years. An LED, however, has a lifespan of 60,000 to 100,000 hours, or about 7 to 12 years. Because LEDs last longer, there are significant savings realized because they require less maintenance. This becomes especially important for places like parking lots, where changing burnt-out bulbs on tall pole lights can be a time-consuming and dangerous task. A car dealership can light their entire lot, display their merchandise under a more flattering spectrum, and save up to $30,000 a year on energy costs.
“Ian recently did an energy-efficient retrofit of the signs at my Fort Collins Perkins Restaurant & Bakery,” said Eric Spanier, managing member of Northern Colorado Pancake, LLC. “He recommended that I convert our signage from neon to LED. The project was seamless in every way from beginning to end. He even took care of the rebate paperwork, saved me $2,500 on the new lighting equipment, and $1,800/year in energy usage. The signs look like new again, and are much brighter.”
Customers considering retrofitting their signs can take advantage of rebates offered by regional utility companies to offset the initial cost of the retrofit. Programs like Platte River Power Authority’s (PRPA) LightenUP project provide funding for energy-efficient lighting retrofits at commercial and industrial facilities. LightenUP offers incentives on a first-come, first-served basis, to a maximum of $50,000 per customer per year. Rebates are offered as part of the growing clean energy movement along the Front Range and throughout Colorado, which has gained a national reputation for its commitment to converting inefficient energy technologies to solar, wind, LEDs, electric transportation, and more. The benefit is mutual, as customers save on their energy bills, and utility companies are able to put off building new plants by helping new and existing customers make more efficient use of the energy now being generated, making the capacity of the generating plants currently on line go much further.

I think we found where the cuts should be made! If you agree pass it on, I just did.
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!
Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2013
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks
READY, SET, GO!!! Don't Procrastinate!!
On Friday, March 15, it will be the big 94 for the American Legion. Our local post 119 was chartered on May 18, 1920, which makes the Estes Park American legion 93 years old. In another mere sweet 16 years, post 119 will be 119.
However you count the years, keep on keepin' on and lookin' good! Many happy returns!
Have you ever wanted to take your family to any of Denver’s museums, gardens, or zoo, but worried about the cost of tickets? Well, Colorado residents are getting some special treatment thanks to a few generous sponsors. On certain days throughout the year, a few specific venues are offering free admission! A few of my favorites are the museums and art displays.
The Denver Art Museum always has new exhibitions coming through. In May alone they have eleven new exhibits coming to the museum. The displays will include everything from a variety of recycled products to textiles to a combination of traditional craft and digital technology. The museum also has a number of collections that are there year round. It has one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of world art between Chicago and the West Coast.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has a similar set up as the art museum in that it has a rotation of exhibits every couple of months. It also has permanent displays such as wildlife, Egyptian mummies, gems and minerals, and space odyssey. It also has a great planetarium that offers showings on a 3D IMAX.
If you need somewhere that’s a little more kid friendly try out the Children’s Museum of Denver. It’s filled with tons of interactive activities that can keep your kids busy and entertained. They can paint, launch rockets, explore kinetics, or play with big soapy bubbles. If the museum is a hit with your kiddos, you could even sign them for a camp!
If you’re more interested in galleries than museums, perhaps you’d like to check out Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe. On the first Friday of every month the Art District opens its doors to the public for free showings!
Take advantage of these free days and experience some culture and great entertainment in Denver. Check the dates and mark your calendars!
BOULDER RESIDENT TO WALK OVERNIGHT
FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION
Out of the Darkness Overnight Will Take Place in Washington D.C. June 1-2
Boulder, Colorado – On June 1st through 2nd Dana Montgomery-Gair will participate in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Overnight, a 16 to 18-mile walk from sunset to sunrise, to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention.
“As someone who has experienced severe depression and come out the other side, I’m walking to show people it is possible to overcome this disease. Everyone deserves a chance at the life they want but some of us just need a little help to get there.”
According to AFSP close to one million people will make a suicide attempt and more than 38,000 will die by suicide in the U.S. this year. “These statistics are troubling, but it is important to know that suicide can be prevented. That is why I am walking in The Overnight, I want to take action to prevent suicide,” said Dana.
The Foundation hopes that by bringing this event to the nation’s capital it will elevate a national conversation about suicide prevention as well as motivate leaders to take more action regarding this serious public health problem.
Proceeds from the Out of the Darkness Overnight support research and a variety of prevention, education and advocacy programs including distribution of the Foundation’s More Than Sad educational program on teen depression and suicide prevention to high schools across the country.
To support Dana Montgomery-Gair or to get more information about The Overnight, call 888-The-Overnight or visit www.TheOvernight.org.
If you or someone you know is in crisis or having thoughts of suicide, remember that help is available. For more information about suicide such as risk factors and warning signs, visit www.AFSP.org.

The Pet Professional Guild Welcomes Newest Member
The Pet Professional Guild, a professional pet industry member-association that advocates for force-free dog training and pet care, announced today that Julie Parker and Rocky Mountain Dog Training, LLC has qualified for membership.
Broomfield CO – The Pet Professional Guild (PPG) proudly announced today that Julie Parker and Rocky Mountain Dog Training, LLC has met the required exacting standards and has therefore qualified for membership in the PPG.
According to PPG President, Niki Tudge, “The PPG is a member-association organization that was founded to represent dog training and pet care professionals who are committed to scientifically based, force-free training and behavior change methods. The PPG is the only professional pet industry member association that advocates for force-free dog training and pet care and requires that our members adhere to our “Guiding Principles. We also make these principles available to the public. This way anyone using the services of a PPG member can be confident of the methods and the philosophical and scientific basis of the training methods and pet care techniques used when caring for their pets.”
In the dog training and pet care world, force-free, according to PPG’s website, means that PPG members will never employ shock, pain, fear, physical force, physical molding or compulsion-based methods when training or caring for a pet. “PPG member’s methods are based on the most recent scientific research and focus on the physical, mental, environmental and emotional well being of each pet to ensure that every aspect of training and care contributes to the pet’s well-being; that is our holistic approach. These methods are incredibly effective, fun and most of all safe to use,” says Tudge.
Pet ownership continues to increase and the number of businesses providing products and services to the pet owning public is rapidly growing. Tudge says, “In a largely unregulated industry it can be difficult for the public to understand the differences between the many training and pet care methods that are now available. Even the terminology used to describe various training and pet care techniques can be confusing and misleading. We feel that the pet-owning public needs an educational resource to help them understand the differences in methods and techniques available. The PPG clearly defines the philosophies, methods and techniques its members use so the public can be confident that any Guild member will provide services in accordance with our stated philosophy and guidelines. The public can be assured that only force-free methods will be employed training and caring for their pets.” For more information on force-free training and pet care, visit www.PetProfessionalGuild.com.

When I was young, I believed that there was a vast pool of universal energy…maybe one for the dark and one for the light. And I thought that people, through their deeds and efforts were always contributing to one or the other. In my paradigm, whichever pool received the most input would determine the eventual outcome of the battle of light versus dark.
I am older now and I forgot about that until four days ago. This is the story of a little tree-lined neighborhood; one where we have a fall Scarecrow Festival at Mary Beth and Michael’s. Where we exchange whatever we’ve got too much of in the garden, and we are experimenting with the best recipe for apple and peach liqueurs.
It all started the other morning after the big snowfall. I was talking on the phone and idly surveying the snowy scene just out my picture window. I noticed movement in one of the enormous cottonwoods across the street. I tried to focus on what kind of animal it might be, turning uncomfortably in the crux of a large branch and the main trunk. It was at least thirty feet up. At first I thought it might be a couple of amorous squirrels.Too big. Maybe a raccoon. No… too much white. I put on my boots and coat and ventured up to the base of the tree. It was a black and white cat with luminous crystalline eyes staring down at me. “Kitty…kitty…kitty. Here kitty, kitty…” I called softly. I could read its eyes. They said, simply, “I can’t.” Boy, I know how that feels, I thought. When my neighbor came home he placed a very long ladder against the tree and tried to reach the cat, but had no luck. It had a black nose and a little black goatee. It was getting cold and dark and starting to snow again. So, we went back inside our respective houses. I was grateful to be warm and dry. I thought a lot about how much cats hate being cold and wet.
The next morning I went back to check if the cat had found a way to descend the ladder. There it sat, miserably sitting and licking its fur while balancing precariously on the branch. By late afternoon it had settled into the little space for the onslaught of snowflakes which had again begun to drift down at an increasing pace. I borrowed a can of tuna fish from my neighbor and climbed to the top of the ladder to coo and coax. I climbed shakily back down, hoping the can of tuna I left up there would not dislodge and baptize me. I went to bed wrestling with the “not-my-problem” dichotomy, wondering how this poor kitty could survive another frozen night.
The next morning I walked up and down the street asking anyone I saw if they were missing a cat or recognized it. I was about to walk down to the fire station when I saw one of their small service trucks coming down the street. I flagged the woman driving and asked hopefully, “Are you looking for a cat to rescue?” “No,” she replied regretfully after a great deal of discussion. “It’s a liability issue.” I’m sure she too now struggled with “Not my problem,” but I took it as a heavenly sign that she had even been driving down the street.
I went inside and called the Humane Society and the recording referred me to the Animal Control dispatch. The girl on the other end was not engaged by me description and said simply “Our policy is that it will come down when it wants to.” Oh, it wants to, I thought as I hung up, muttering a few choice words about Norman Rockwell. Police. Firefighters. America. Kittens.
I called my neighbor, Leah Bradley, a well-known and very imaginative artist. Aside from being talented, she also can lay claim to being “cat rescuer of the year.” She single-handedly has rescued dozens of feral neighborhood cats and paid to have them spayed and neutered. Never have I heard her say “Not my problem.” I doubt she even thinks it. I described the cat to her, hoping she might know where it belonged. “ It looks like a domino” I explained, citing the distinctive black dot on the cat’s nose. “It’s getting pretty dark and cold,” Leah commented as we stood in the street wondering what to do and assessing the options. None came to mind. If the cat was still alive in the morning…
I got up to look apprehensively out the window. I would have been sick if it wasn’t there and sick if it was. There stood poor, miserable Domino trying to look dignified, smoothing its fur, and trying weakly to balance on the narrow branch. “It’s my problem”, I decided. “If not me, then who?” I prayed for the Domino-effect to kick in, put on my coat and boots and headed out. I walked toward Leah’s thinking about the power of intent. The great energy pool. The passage about if any three of you ask in my name. We decided to walk to the fire station. As she went in to get ready, I wandered along grateful for the beautiful sunshine bouncing off the snow. Just as I reached the corner where Domino stood contemplating its ninth life, a neighbor from up the street came swerving onto my corner drive. She owns “A Place To Be”, I recalled. I struggled to remember her name…Marinella. Just as she jumped out of her car, two trucks pulled up. One was marked “Artistree…your trees are our canvas.” 303-619-1612. I couldn’t believe my eyes! John Debolt, the owner, emerged with rope and carabiners. Out of the smaller truck stepped Randall Sorensen. Arborist Randall’s Tree Service 303-330-7922. He began to hook up all the ropes and equipment. My face must have looked like a little kids at a magic show. It all came together so fast. A nexus of angels willing to step up and make their contribution to the energy pool. More light and light it grows.
Domino purrs with contentment in Leah’s studio, hungrily demolishing a dish of tuna and dry food. Funny how quickly it all came together. Several people decided it was their problem: Mariella opened the phone book and dialed the first arborist her finger was guided to, Artistree. John just happened to be an animal lover and he called Randall Sorensen who was his best climber and had just started his own business. “ Sure”, said Randall, “we’d do it for free” and the two of them just showed up. No problem.
Norman Rockwell. Our America. Alive and well and still contributing to the energy pool.

Colorado nonprofit Think About It Colorado today announced the release of new tools on ThinkAboutItColorado.org for consumers and providers to promote safer health care.
About 500,000 more Coloradans are expected to access ongoing and regular health care, many for the first time, under the Affordable Care Act. With many important changes coming online with health care in the next year, conversations have focused largely on funding and access, leaving little room for the topic of health care safety.
“Now more than ever, safety should be the foundation of quality care,” said Donna Kusuda, chairman of Think About It Colorado (TAIC). “A strong, genuine partnership between health care consumers and providers can be a significant step toward better health care safety.”
Think About It Colorado is a statewide coalition of dedicated and knowledgeable leaders from the patient advocacy, health care and business communities. The organization is dedicated to promoting statewide awareness of the needs and opportunities for safer health care.
TAIC is the first statewide resource that helps both patients and doctors work together to achieve safer health care. It provides information for both providers and consumers, including tips and tools for a variety of health care settings; links to the latest state statistics and ratings on hospitals; and best practices for primary care providers.
“Sharing information, education and resources engages patients, providers, payers and other stakeholders in improving patient safety,” said Rob Jenkins, patient safety project director at the Colorado Hospital Association. “Everyone in Colorado has important roles to play in achieving safe health care.”
TAIC brings diverse health care organizations together to drive improvement in safety and highlight the good work already being done in Colorado. Providers in all health care settings, particularly hospitals, have implemented initiatives that have reduced patient error and resulted in greater accountability.
And while the state continues to demonstrate improvement in this critical area, more than 40,000 incidents of medical harm occur in the United States every day, making medical errors the fifth leading cause of death nationwide, according to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
"We all want Colorado to be the safest state in the nation when it comes to health care, and that starts with educating the public and health professionals to work together,” said Patty Skolnik, executive director of Denver-based Citizens for Patient Safety. “Consumers can be a stronger partner on their health care team by having resources and tools that are easy to access.”
With tip sheets and links to other tools, ThinkAboutItColorado.org gives consumers what they need to “know before they go.” This knowledge can reduce the stress of visiting a doctor, checking into the hospital, or going for an outpatient treatment. Consumers can prepare to ask and answer important questions that reduce the chance for mistakes. Topics include how to prepare personal medical histories, keep drug and allergy records, fill prescriptions and take medications properly, and practice better hygiene to prevent infections. The site also links to Colorado hospital and provider rating data for health care safety.
ThinkAboutItColorado.org is unique in presenting content that addresses all types of health safety environments, not just the hospital setting. These resources help primary physicians and patients better coordinate post-hospital treatment and reduce the risks of complications or a return to the hospital due to an issue that could have been prevented.
As part of National Patient Safety Awareness Week (March 3-9), health care organizations in Colorado and worldwide are raising awareness in their communities. This year’s theme, “7 days of recognition; 365 days committed to safe care,” reminds health care providers and consumers that safer care must be a priority every day.
About Think About It Colorado
Think About It Colorado is a nonprofit public awareness program designed to spark a statewide conversation about health care safety and to drive reform in this critical area. Formed in 2010, the organization is led by a board of advisors representing the support of a broad coalition of dedicated and knowledgeable leaders from the patient advocacy, health care and business communities. Think About It Colorado encourages and enables Coloradans to “Team up for safer health care,” and provides education, information and resources to help consumers and providers accomplish this goal.
Needing a wildlife encounter? Visit the Boulder Public Library to enjoy J. B. Sullivan’s exquisite drawings of wildlife and animals of all kinds. A Colorado native, Sullivan enjoys drawing birds, elk, coyotes, moose, bears and other animals he discovers in our local environment.
Each drawing requires hundreds of hours to complete the contrast, shading, and immense detail. Working with just pencils, he creates life like drawings that reflect each animal’s unique characteristics. Occasionally he adds a touch of color by adding a highlight in colored pencil.
Growing up on a ranch in Meeker, Colorado, Sullivan learned to appreciate wildlife when he worked outdoors. Today, he is an accomplished artist living in Lafayette, Colorado who shows his work in local venues, at summer art festivals, and on his web site, www.jsullivanart.com.
The current exhibit is sponsored by Boulder Arts Resource and located in the main Boulder Library at 1001 Arapahoe Avenue in downtown Boulder, March 6 – April 30.
