Help Rima Get a Second Double Lung Transplant
|
| Hi all! My daughter-in-law, Rima, has Cystic Fibrosis. Seven years ago she had a double lung transplant. It transformed her life from needing 4l O2 at sea level just to climb the stairs to living a mile high and climbing 14ers without the need for O2 at all. Sadly, after seven years, the lungs have rapidly declined and she is in need of another transplant. Yes, both lungs. A double lung transplant. Chaz and Rima are moving to North Carolina where Duke University can do the surgery. They will be there for about six months. Even with financial assistance and grants it’s still damned expensive. A friend set up a Go Fund Me account. Please help if you can. Thanks.St.Kate of the Canyon — 07:25 PM |

Phone out.
|
| Thanks, for the reply, BrookeC. Yeah, they asked me to do the same unplug/plug. The frustrating thing is trying to get them to understand the days they offer we can't do, and they keep texting and emailing confirming wrong dates. Issue of text not communicating with email, and vice versa. Well, I am ready to drop them. Thanks, again!!R. Westmoreland — 05:34 PM |

Bark Box or collar
|
| I'm needing to get a bark box or collar or any device to stop barking , if anyone happens to have any of these that they can part with .
I am getting a summons, and I have no money to pay the fine, and will have to go to court. I can't get the report to know which neighbors are complaining until after I get the summons , but I guess I'll seeing them in court.
Howdy unfriendly neighbors,
Are all three of you happy with your collusion to get me fined? I don't think there was dog barking for over 20 minutes in one session, but I heard you all had logs saying otherwise..I'll have to start keeping my own logs, and maybe I'll do it here. there was just 20 seconds of barking and it stopped.
I'll add a reply and time, every time they bark .
Meanwhile , I need to get a device to stop the barking so I don't' get fined again.
If could sell me one cheap, that would be nice.
4:38 Pm, Althea just barked for about 15 secondsJackie Dow — 05:30 PM |

Phone out.
|
| Hi Rick -
Our landline is working here over on Jed Smith Rd.
We’ve had mention issues in the past.
One thing that worked once (without getting CenturyLink involved) was to completely unplug the phone jack from the wall, then plug it back in.
Most times, though, I’ve had to convince CenturyLink that there was an issue and a tech needed to come out. The tech was great, unlike the company itself.
Good luck.BrookeC — 01:20 PM |

Wildland fire surveys
|
| We are conducting a study in and near the St. Vrain watershed to evaluate fire risk on residential parcels and to gather community perspectives and needs regarding wildfire and wildfire mitigation. The information gathered as part of this study will help emergency responders and land managers better prepare for future fires as well as improve our community engagement and education efforts. This project is a partnership with The Watershed Center, the Wildfire Research Center, and your local Fire Protection Districts – Lyons, Allenspark, Lefthand, and Pinewood Springs.
We are now requesting your participation in a mail-in survey: Living with Wildfire in the St Vrain Watershed. If you live in the study area, you have or will soon receive a survey by mail that will help us understand your perspectives and needs around wildfire and wildfire mitigation. To guide our programming, we want to learn about the community’s current state of wildfire preparedness as well as residents’ knowledge, experience, and thoughts. We believe that every community member is an important part of fostering wildfire-ready communities and ecosystems. This includes you! Your participation in this survey is voluntary and anonymous, but we sincerely hope you respond so that we can learn about and better address the needs of our communities.
If you have any questions about this study, please reach out to Chiara Forrester, the Forest Program Director at The Watershed Center: cforrester@watershed.center, 720-745-3160, www.watershed.center.O'B's — 12:15 PM |

Propane company recommendations?
|
|
Over the years we end up using either Hygiene or Ferrell gas(Estes) because they’re ALWAYS the cheapest, this last Aug ‘24 both of them were $.30/gallon cheaper than Fred’s, polar, and amerigas?
In addition to employing veterans, Ferrellgas also supports active military members. Veterans and active military service members work in every part of Ferrellgas. Hygiene have always been pleasant, easy, helpful!
Ferrell: (970) 586-4348
Hygiene: (303) 776-6197
Hope that helps!
Julie
That is a big help[ Julie. I called AmeriGas on Monday, and when they said they could be here tomorrow, I stopped shopping. Then I get an email from them saying they will be here Mon or Tues or WED. (thanks for being SO specific guys). And since I'm a new custie they need to pressure test my system & I have to be here. Since they are a HUGE national corporation, their local office is unreachable to get clarification.
I'll use Ferrell (based out of Estes Park?) moving forward.
Thanks for the info Julie.

Hey could I get some propane company recommendations from folks?
Or warnings on which companies to avoid (poor customer service).
Thanks
I used to use Agfinity. I thought the smaller company they bought out was better there were many occaisions that my tank went empty before they came to refill me. I switched to Hygiene Propane about 6 or 7 years ago, they are a smaller local company and have always treated me right. I would recommend them.Jason — 11:47 PM |

Propane company recommendations?
|
| I like Agfinity, no issues. I've used their service for 16 years now here in town and approx 7 years prior when I lived on 87J.
They installed a satellite transceiver on my tank, they can monitor the level and fill when needed. Usually twice, maybe 3 times a year.
Their accounts receivable are a little wonky sometimes, they bill me, I pay with an e-check, and a month later I've got up to a $50 credit for some strange accounting reason. Fine with me.

ISO treadmill
|
| Head up Michal, there are several (rowing machine, stationary bike, ellipitic trainer, MAYBE also a treadmill) cardio machines in the small JT gym.
Which is up in the 2nd hall of the JT Fire hall.
Robert Hasting runs it.
I believe you sign a waiver & pay $10 and you are good to go.
You gotta be creative in getting your winter cardio in over the winter.

I’m interested in acquiring a treadmill that hopefully doesn’t take up TOO much space, and that works well for running. I figure there may be a neglected one in the greater Jamestown area that could be rehomed and help me get some winter cardio in.

Wednesday- Tell your burger connoisseur friends- Ryan’s Double Smash Burger is the best burger in Boulder County. I dare you to give it a try and say I’m wrong! Plus while you’re checking out this beautiful thing, stay for Trivia Night! This Wednesday- Come with a team of 4-6 or show up solo and put together a team while you’re there singing for Open Mic. Trivia starts at 6. Plus knitting club meets at the couches at 5pm. Wednesday has got options.

As we all gather in the November darkness, we are especially grateful for all of your light.

Samsung fridge for free
|
| CLAIMED!! Thanks BB for helping us rehome this!
We upgraded our fridge and are offering the former fridge up for grabs.
It is clean and it works!
French doors for fridge on top and big chest freezer on bottom.
Offering it for free bc it does have some quirks- would be good for someone who is handy and/or looking for a garage/second fridge. (Just in time for holiday feasts!)
Issues:
- ice can build up under the bottom drawer of the fridge part
- you have to close the left door before the right door bc the flapper isn’t working well (or you could fix it)
Dimensions:
36” wide
70” tall
31 3/4” deep (not including handles)
Model: Samsung RF263BEAESR/AA
Hoping it can keep living its life in another home rather than being recycled. Let me know if you’re interested!MichalJD — 10:16 AM |

| Someone drilled a big hole in my yard last week - looks like an augur did it. It's about 2' in circumference and it has to be 6 - 8 feet deep. Then they put a piece of plywood with the words Open Hole spray painted in orange over it. WTF???
Anybody know who the hell would do that without even contacting me or asking permission to come onto my property, let alone dig a hole like that? My guess is that it has to do with the Sturgeon trucks that have been in town the past few days - for Xcel?
If anybody knows about this and can tell me who to contact, please reply here or contact me offline. I am seriously pissed off!Nancy Farmer — 11:30 PM |

potential snowplowing contractor!!!
|
| Hey Nancy ~
I am with you getting something going on plowing our roads. Now we realize what an "asset" BearFoot and Craig were!
Now that our roads (at least Mesa Street where I have lived for 47+ yrs) don't get plowed in a timely fashion, they have become
sheets of ice. Up here on the West Mesa Glacier, people are getting stuck going DOWN the road. A SAND BARREL here and there
(hint hint) would be useful. Or just a pile of sand somewhere that could be accessed.
Let's fix this JimBillies ~ this is OUR TOWN and there is more snow coming!
~ SOB johnJohn Hardman — 02:44 PM |

potential snowplowing contractor!!!
|
| Hi all,
I sent out an email to a bunch of folks, but I don't have everybody's current email, so I'm putting it out to the commUNITY at large. It's late to be trying to arrange this, but I know of a person who would be willing to get a snow plow and plow in Jamestown if he can get enough interest from people who would pay a fair price for the service. He'd have to invest in the plow and vehicle maintenance, and it has to be worth it for him to do that. He wanted to know if there was enough interest from people, and he wanted to know what the needs are - I told him I thought it would be roads as well as driveways, and the email responses I have gotten so far indicate both. I don't have information yet about how he would charge - hourly, by depth, by area to be plowed? But he needs to know if it would be worth it. I, for one, am absolutely willing to pay my fair share.
I know that George is contracted to plow for the Food Rescue access on Saturdays and Mondays, but if a storm hits on other days, I don't know his availability.
One more thing - Rose H-H did some work on this last year and apparently the Area Agency on Aging can help seniors with at least part of the cost. I need to call them to find out more about it and will post here when I know. You can join the discussion here or email me at my jimtown account (my.name@)Nancy Farmer — 11:40 AM |

Hello again Everyone,
Around 4:30 today, the same black dog was seen running loose in the middle of the Overland Road, headed toward Jamestown. We offered treats and had a leash ready, but it wouldn't come near.
Has anyone else seen this dog, or does anyone have information regarding its home? We're very worried about it.
Thanks,

I saw him last night on Overland at about 730p, walking along the roadside and headed towards JT

SnakeBytes - Snake van Habanero's Saturday Matinee - 2:00/4:00
|
| Hey there. This week I'll be projecting a contemporary Western called "WHEN THE LEGENDS DIE", made back in the early 70's. I have a little bit of personal interest in this one. It was made in the Durango area when I was living there, and one day my wife and I were picking up a few groceries at a local market and I glance over at the next check-out stand and there's Richard Widmark buying a bag of oranges. I had never before seen a real movie star up close and my wonted volubility froze up like late apples in November. All I could whisper was, "Hey, that's Richard Widmark!" So much for my brush with associative fame and fortune. SvH. (I always enjoy some company)Lynn Wilber — 05:35 AM |

Call for foster homes for labs
|
| Some friends of mine have fostered dogs from this Labrador rescue in Golden and they put out a call after they heard that some of the fosters had fallen through recently. I don't have a fenced yard, and I'm not ready yet, so I won't be doing it at this time, but here is the website for Safe Harbor Lab Rescue. My friends have fostered and adopted several dogs through them and they say it's a good organization that works hard to find good homes for the dogs. Maybe you could help? Please pass the information along if you know anybody who might be willing to foster or adopt a lab.Nancy Farmer — 10:04 AM |

Stonemason Looking for Help and Winter Work
|
| Howdy, neighbors! This is Eric Harms at Springdale (2 miles downstream of JT).
You may have noticed the wonderful stonemasonry taking place for our garage project, just north off the side of the highway. Our mason, Jacques Ouellete, is from Lyons and is outrageously skilled, hard-working, and so easy to work with. However, he wanted me to spread the word about a couple of topics.
First, he is looking for one more project to take on over the winter. If anyone is doing some remodeling and needs interior stone or tilework done, I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.
Second, he'd like to hire a helper! He has one spot for full-time work that would last through the winter and into next year. In addition to getting paid, this would be an excellent opportunity to learn some incredibly valuable skills -- not just in stonemasonry, but in all kinds of construction.
Jacques is working here most days and would be happy to chat with anyone who might be interested in the above. Our address is 1126 James Canyon Drive. If you see a large white truck parked on the pullout to the south, you'll know he is here on-site.
Also, if anyone would like to contact Jacques, he can be reached at jacquesofallstone AT outlook.com or (207) 408-4648.
Thanks, and have a good day!EricH — 09:37 AM |

Hey Hollis ~
Bubba came back up on Mesa an hour later. (They never go far unless you chase them). Lila was on top of it again!
I chased him off again.
I appreciate the info Hollis. I was thinking about him too. This is his first year alone, probably born last February.
He is quite FAT! Which is good. It has been warm and Bears eating non-natural foods often have a different
hibernation cycle than true wild bears. Their hibernation cycle is shorter.
Maybe you can include him for your Thanksgiving Feast Hollis? Got a spare bedroom. Maybe a roomie?
Just for the winter. He seems to like our neighborhood.
I hope I see him in the spring! I do! I love OUR BEARS. They are the coolest animals.

Buying Western Disposal Trash Bags=Combining buying power
|
| Good morning,
Western Disposal trash bags= I'm out of them.
I borrowed 1 from my neighbor Clay, and now he he's "putting the screws to me" to get paid back his trash bag.
No seriously, Clay & Nicole are stellar neighbors :D
But I do need me some Western Disposal trash bags.
They are $123.57 for 10 bags. So $12.57/bag
OR....I can go in with (2) other JT/Bar-K residents, and buy a big ol' box of 35.
$310.61 for 35. So $8.87/bag.
Who wants to go in with me?
12 bags for $106.50 OR
11 bags for $98
If interested message me via JT BB/call/text me.
Best,
Rich

LOTTA things happening

| Ever since I took over The Merc, for 15 straight years, people have told me, “Do. You know what you should do? Make breakfast for dinner!” And I always tell them, NO!- that’s for when you’re at home and you’re tired and you didn’t go grocery shopping, it’s not for restaurants, come on, we’re trying to be a restaurant!
Well we’re not trying anymore! We’ve always been more like your friends’ mom’s house, why fight it? This THURSDAY the band is called HOT BREAKFAST CLUB. So we’re getting in the flow. They’ll play jazzy swing music. We’ll cook you hot breakfast, we’ll stop pretending to be a real restaurant. It’ll be fun. Come get your Steak n Eggs, Crab Cake Benedicts, Pulled Pork Biscuits with Chorizo Gravy, Fried Chicken n Waffles and some Crazy French Toasts.
WEDNESDAY IS OPEN MIC- And the Annual SOUP EXCHANGE
Bring Soup in Quart containers and trade for more soup! Fill your freezer for winter. 5pm (As many as you bring, you can trade, please bring an ingredient list)
Grab a burger and a beer while you’re at it. Or sing a song.
FRIDAY- DAVID LAWRENCE AND THE SPOONFUL are SO FUN. David brings a unique blend of finger-picking blues, Roots-Americana, soulful vocals, and his style of Django-inspired jazz guitar

BoCoPubHealth Letter re: well water
|
| We decided to forgo the testing cost and just use that money on a RO water filter system from Lowes. The total DIY Installed Cost was around $300. This is just a single tap, so shower/bathroom water is still unfiltered, but fine for drinking/pets/cooking.GunnarLavenue — 02:48 PM |

BoCoPubHealth Letter re: well water
|
| I sent off to the CO Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE), see https://cdphe.colorado.gov/laboratory-services/submitting-water-sample-to-state-lab. I ordered and received supplies for the "General Colorado Package" (although there are many more tests to choose from.) When testing with the state, homeowners take the samples themselves. I haven't done this yet, but instead of mailing back the samples, we can take them to the Boulder County Health Dept. at Iris and Broadway... have to call the day before, though, to make sure they will have a courier deliver the samples ASAP to the lab in Denver.Silvia — 10:04 AM |

I am not sure but think the tests take a few weeks. They are coming to our house tomorrow.
Curious if anyone in the Bar-K has proceeded with water testing? As mentioned in a previous post, John's Well has recommended that we start out with the Gross Alpha and Beta test for $175, and says someone is coming to collect samples this week. Before we commit we're wondering if anyone has beat us to it, and what your results were!

Barn cat needs a home
|
| Posting this in behalf of our Nederland friends; they live off Magnolia. I know this cat and can attest that she’s awesome and a good hunter. If you’re interested, let me know and I can connect you to learn more.
—————-
We are looking for a loving home for our 3-year old cat, Dizzy. We picked her up as a barn stray a few years ago to take care of some mice and she’s since gotten used to being an indoor/outdoor cat, but she would do fine as a barn cat with a cozy place to sleep.
She’s super personable, a greet you at the door type, and very tolerable of dogs. She’s a fantastic mouser and very prey driven.
We’re going through some life stage changes and feel we are no longer the best spot for her. We’ll send her along with a scratch tower, toys, litter box/litter, food, and water bowl.
Please reach out if you are interested and you would like to come meet her. A good home is a must for this affectionate cat!
Thanks!

Work to Do

Thank you Julia,
In the wake of this event, I think what we need is each other. We don't take our small beautiful lives up here for granted, or the eccentric marvelous community that nurtures us. Jamestown/Bark K is such a beautifully woven tapestry of people. Before the pandemic we were closer knit, and we struggled to stay that way through those four years of isolation.
We're now looking at four years of what is likely to be difficult at best. This is the time to re-strengthen the bonds between us, to help each other in our small, profound ways. This is not the isolating event of a pandemic, it is a time to come together with more love, compassion, ingenuity and creativity than ever (something I've found Jamestown/Bar K has plenty of). One of the few bright lights during the pandemic was that more folks moved up to the Jamestown/Bar K area...new blood for our beloved mountain town! Together we can continue co-creating the kindness, thoughtfulness and health of our community. I will keep my finger on the daily pulse of what's happening on the national/world stage, but as someone who is settling in to the life-phase of Elder, the daily work of a healthy community is my focus. I plan to strengthen the bonds between us in my small little part. Lead with love, but stay sensitive to your environment - I think that's a healthy recipe for balance and clarity in a time like this.
Kara,
That was so beautifully said. Thank you for this lovely "pep talk". I sure needed it!Kim Renner Busey — 11:21 PM |
