nWatch for Children Going Back to SchoolA message from Mayor Dennis CoombsAs 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. We’re 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, let’s not risk our children’s 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 don’t make eye contact with you, they may not know you’re 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 let’s all make this a safe and happy school year for everyone.
Shop Longmont and Get a Free Tote BagBeginning on Black Friday, when you spend $15 at any participating Longmont retail business you’ll receive a tote bag at no additional cost. This is the city’s way of thanking you for shopping local and keeping your sales tax dollars in the community. In addition to supporting businesses owned by your friends and neighbors, you are supporting vital city services like the recreation center, library, public safety, parks and roads. Stop by any of the participating businesses listed at www.YouBelongInLongmont.org to take advantage of this limited time offer. Don’t delay because bags are limited.
Fireball Run starts in LongmontLongmont has been selected as the Official Green Flag city for the 2013 Fireball Run Adventurally and its Race to Recover America’s 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 child’s 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 Longmont’s Roosevelt Park, in conjunction with Longmont’s 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.

Play it Safe During the Holiday SeasonDuring 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.

In case of snow…Life doesn’t 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. It’s 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.
…and don’t forget to shovelSnow is beautiful, but when it covers sidewalks it can be a serious safety hazard. That’s 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 you’re 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 snow- or 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.
‘Tis the season for decorating – safely• Replace incandescent holiday lighting with LED lights. They
are cool to the touch no matter how long they’re 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 manufacturer’s 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!

LONGMONT— Colorado Sen-ate President Brandon Shaffer an-nounced Monday night via You-Tube that he will run for the 4thCongressional District in 2012.The video shows Shaffer addres-
sing a group of friends and familyduring a backyardparty on theFourth of July.“A lot of you
know that wehave been consid-ering a very im-portant decisionin our family,”Shaffer said. “Be-fore we an-nounced our decision to the gener-al public, we thought we’d bring agroup of very close friends andfamily and neighbors and peoplewho have been very supportiveover the years together to sharethe decision that we’ve made withyou first.
“Tomorrow (Tuesday), I amgoing to announce that I am an of-ficial candidate for Congress.”
The announcement was metwith cheers by the crowd and ateasing admonition to “Get back tothe food” by Shaffer.
Shaffer, D-Longmont, had con-sidered running in 2008 butstepped aside for the candidacy ofBetsy Markey, who defeated in-cumbent Republican Marilyn Mus-grave. After current U.S. Rep. CoryGardner, a Republican, defeatedMarkey in her bid for re-election,Shaffer’s name was discussed as apossible challenger.
The 4th CD has been at the cen-ter of a re-districting battle by theLegislature, with the exact lines tobe considered by a judge this fall.

LONGMONT— Every Inde-pendence Day, the biggestbackyard party in town can
be found at Thompson Park.“I’m all about the parades and
stuff, but this is way better,” saidShelley Kunselman, who hit thepark at 7 a.m. to grab a shady pic-nic spot. “I see a bunch of people Iknow, chat with them, and thenmake the rounds again in about anhour. And you can’t beat the mu-sic.”Or the heat. Temperatures rose
through the 90s as the annualLongmont Symphony Orchestraconcert and July 4 community pic-nic went on. Most families huggedthe shade of a tree or an awning;two members of the LongmontChorale briefly passed out fromthe warmth.“No rain this year,” opening
singer Dan Wright told the crowdwith a chuckle. “Remember lastyear?”Without the showers that wash-
ed the park in 2010 and almostcanceled the event, patriotic deco-rations had free reign to take overevery available space and table.Tri-color strawberries, with white
chocolate and blue sprinkles.Cookies shaped like the continen-tal United States. Even a smallwhite “Old Glory” Christmas tree,decorated to the hilt with wood-
block flags, “USA” cutouts and anUncle Sam teddy bear, among oth-er star-spangled touches.“Everyone likes it,” said the
tree’s owner, Kathy Howell of
Erie. “I am starting to reach satu-ration, but for now, I just keepadding things.”Some keep adding people as
well. For Evelyn Josephsohn, thiscame in the middle of her familyreunion, with 25 people descend-ing on Longmont from as far awayas Montana.“This is quite a special Fourth of
July for us,” she said, as the familyset up its picnic table, entered inthe afternoon’s contest as “Red,White and Balloons,” a namethought up by Josephsohn’sgranddaughter.It’s also the young ones, she
noted, who were responsible forthe family’s picnic site: as close tothe cannon for the 1812 Overtureas possible. That same cannonmade a few picnickers jump dur-ing the national anthem, as a mis-chievous Kim Knake set it off intime for “The bombs bursting inair ...”“There seems to be a quick trig-
ger around here,” joked formerMayor Roger Lange, a master ofceremonies for the afternoon.

DENVER— One gay man video-taped for the project shares thathis extended family reacted to hisnews of testing positive for HIV byasking him to use a plastic plate,cup and utensils at mealtime.Another subject, a 14-year-old
boy infected with HIV at birth byhis mother, answers a questionabout future dating. He thinks itcould work “if she could just ac-cept me for who I am rather thanwhat I have.”
Their testimonies now liveamong 173 other interviews re-corded so far by The Positive Proj-ect, a Denver nonprofit organiza-tion dedicated to getting personalstories with information about HIVto those infected, affected and atrisk through a free, digital, onlinearchive.Tony Miles and Dawn Shearer,
both mental health professionals,
launched the project in 2000. Yearsof privately listening to the testimo-nies of HIV-positive clients con-vinced them that a related video ar-chive could be another resource infighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic,which hit the United States 30years ago this summer.Patient confidentiality prevented
them from sharing their clients’stories.“But anyone who participates in
the project needs to be preparedfor the fact that clips of their inter-view could show up on NBC Night-ly News,” Miles said.The duo got interviewees
through word of mouth and by
