NEED SOME BOOKS?
|
| Are you finding yourself not wanting to watch the News these days?
Find a new escape from today's world, and sit back and read a book!
I have a great friend who reads all the time and then she passes her books onto me which I Love!
But, I just cannot keep up :-/ !
So, today I asked Mary Ellen at the Town Hall if I could drop off some books that anyone can take.
They are all current reads, many are best sellers. Almost all are hardbacks. Many of them are mysteries.
You might even consider them for a Holiday gift!
No rules, take them and never bring them back, or return them later once the library re-opens.
Take one or two, maybe three at a time. Whatever strikes your fancy!
Mary Ellen is usually at the Town Hall Monday thru Thursday 9:00 am till 4:00 pm.
Enjoy!Lynnie — 04:34 PM |

If you are or if your loved one is a snorer, I have a Smart Nora device available.
I now have a bipap machine, as I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, but I used the Smart Nora device for years, and it works. It is a sleeve that you insert into your pillow case that inflates when it detects snoring. The slight raising of your head ceases the snoring.
The device retails new on their site for $500. I'm selling for $50.
Respond here, and I can PM you details.

| Thanks for your the link/comments, Joe and Chris (O'B) - those hail storms don't really reach damaging proportions at our elevation (Bar-K: I never measured hail stones over 0.5" diameter up here), but on the plains, while wildfires are much more common in the lower foothills than higher up. Same with flash floods and serious tornadoes. The only increased risk I can think of up here is from snow and wind storms, perhaps also lightning strikes, but all kind of peanuts compared to those other events. As mentioned before, insurance (and re-insurance) companies have had big losses by the Marshall fire in particular as well as a few big hail storms near Denver and now they are trying to recover by hitting everybody with higher rates. And that is just based on Front Range events, ignoring national trends. What can one do? Perhaps it's time for a smaller-scale COOP/non-profit type insurance model that would reflect actual local risk?KlausW — 02:59 AM |

| So I fell victim to the USAA bait and switch, we don't qualify despite our fathers who served but did not become members of USAA before their deaths. So Gronk lost any respect I had for him. We are now members of USAA but do not qualify for the discounted insurance but whoa they can hook you up with the likes of Liberty-biberty. Insurance in the Boulder county mountains is difficult at best, be thankful if you have a policy, many are being cancelled. I am working with an independent broker now but expect high premiums despite nearby fire stations, 500 gallon water cistern, nearby lake and fire mitigation efforts.

| Hi all-Always tricky the insurance question. Remember that Lefthand has an ISO (Insurance services organization) rating of 4, 1 being the best (think urban setting w/hydrants every 500 feet) and 10 means no fire protection. Nearly everyone is less than 5 miles from a station, and we have robust mutual aid agreements that bring us water above and beyond the staged (cistern/lake/pond) water in the district. The marquee names are raising rates, but it's not all wildland fire. In Colorado, they're mostly interested in the hail. Working with local agents or brokers is your best bet rather than an AI on-line experience.O'B's — 11:15 AM |

| Wow, thanks everyone for the great responses and feedback, we have a wonderful community up here. I am planning to check out USAA and also my son's independent broker. I agree the risk up here is probably no more than the foothills (i.e. Marshall fire) and paying 4x the premium seems out of line. Also I have wondered how much of my premium pays for all those great TV ads... bundle-rooski-doo! :)

About the same homeowners rates as State Farm & they had no problem with issuing new policies in this area (High Lake Dr.)

| Hi all! Good discussion... it's always helpful to stay current with who will provide coverage and under what conditions.
When we purchased our new home in the Bar-K this summer, we started our insurance search with Country Financial, who had insured our house on Bramer since 2006 without incident. They told us they weren't writing new policies in this zone, but also weren't canceling existing policies (yet). Of the major providers we subsequently contacted, only Allstate would write a policy in the Bar-K (albeit at extortionate rates with strict polices about mitigation). We were forced to consider providers in the "excess and surplus" policy market, which consists of companies we've never heard of (including Kraft Lake, Evanston, and other fictional-sounding names) willing to operate in areas considered too high risk by the big names. Eventually, we chose a policy underwritten by Evanston Insurance and facilitated by a local independent insurance broker. Hopefully we never have to put them to the test with a major claim.
Based on this experience, I recommend working with a local insurance broker with many underwriting possibilities rather than focusing on the marquee names with big advertising budgets. They don't want to be here.Ben Perry — 07:59 PM |

| About a year ago, Allstate, which had insured our home for many years, stated that we needed to accomplish various fire mitigation activities, most of which were easy to do. We submitted proof that we responded to their concerns, and then they presented more (e.g., like keeping our grass short, for which they sent a photo of the property covered by snow!). So I started looking for alternatives.
State Farm and American Family were the two that were open to writing a policy. American Family wanted another list of improvements done (some of which seemed useless in preventing fire), and State Farm had no requirements, so we went with State Farm.
After six months, State Farm bumped our premium, but that's likely because we had water damage thanks to a boiler that failed while we were away.

Hope you can make it tonight! Lots of great food and a wonderful selection of produce.
We have some milk, and a pretty large selection of cheeses.
A good amount of bread, bagels, buns, pastries, pies, and cakes.
We have lots of prepared foods including sushi, salads, lobster mac n cheese and way more. Plenty of cut up fruit, grapes, strawberries and packaged salad greens and lots of green beans!
How about using brussel sprouts as a stocking stuffer? That's a none too subtle hint that we have a bunch of brussel sprouts again tonight!
Our big chest freezer is full! We have ribs, chickens, turkeys, ground turkey, and more
Once again, because of the cold temperatures, we will be having people come in through the side door next to the parking lot. And we are streamlining the attendance process.
Please remember that Cemetery Road is still icy and slow your roll on Lower Main (still 10mph)!

| FWIW, we have had American Family Insurance since we moved up here in 1990. Two minor claims since then, and few complaints from our end. And no notification from them about canceling our insurance. Rates have been going up due to the increased wildfire threat, in particular due to the Marshall Fire (insurance losses >$1B), even though our neighborhood is much less prone to wildfires than the lower foothills. But insurance companies do not apply such a fine tooth comb when assessing fire risk.KlausW — 03:24 PM |

| I actually think Allstate is the last man standing. Our premium increased more than $800 this year and we've only had the policy for one year. State Farm wouldn't insure us last year when we purchased a house in Bar-K, and we're pretty near the fire station. American Family was still operating in the area in 2023, but they too have pulled out. Specialty policies are still available from various providers at a very high cost and often have no protection from the Colorado Guaranty Fund.matt.thompson05@gmail.com — 03:11 PM |

| Greetings and Merry Christmas! QQ regarding insurance renewal, mine went up substantially and I was wondering if the same was true for you? We have had State Farm for our place in the Bar K for 12 years now and although it's never been inexpensive it went up a lot this year. I have pushed back and received this from my broker:
" To give you an idea of the overall costs and availability to even insure homes in higher wildfire areas, I don’t think that anyone else in this state would even insure that property. When I go into our eligibility tool, that home location is not something we can even write anymore due to higher than ever restrictions. So if for any reason that policy cancelled, we could not re-write it. State Farm is pretty much the “last man standing” when it comes to homes in high wildfire areas. "
Is everyone else experiencing the same from their insurance companies? Would you mind sharing who your companies are? Is State Farm really the last man standing?
Thanks, Greg & Cindy-Greg and Cindy — 01:57 PM |

| Hey, everyone—
Grayson and Tina here at 300 Ridge Road. I imagine many of you saw lots of cop cars on the road today or perhaps read the news report in the Daily Camera. Hopefully to provide some clarity or at least information, here’s this: Two Boulder deputies woke us up at 3:15 a.m. They asked us where our property line started and told us that a body had been found on our side of the fence. The deputy asked us some questions and told us they’d keep a spotlight on the body until the sun came up. When that happened, many more deputies and the coroner arrived. They took the body away around 10:30 a.m. We’re still not sure what happened. The first detectives stated, somewhat plainly, it was a homicide; the second set of detectives stated they did not know if that was true or what the cause of death was and that people were being questioned, but not yet detained. The second detectives also said they did not think there was reason for the community to be worried at this time.
I don’t know if this is helpful or not, but I suppose everyone is confused, so that’s what we’ve got. We’re certainly anxious and a bit shaken, but we’ll be OK. We’ll update as best we can if and when we know more, and feel free to email or message us any questions. I’m at gcurrin@gmail.com.

to hold her back at the door. Today after reviewing the one print in the now frozen mud we went up Spruce Street behind our house and
"Voila" more BEAR pooh! Right in the middle of the road.
Looks like a healthy/large bear. Hope it finds a den soon! There ain't much to eat out there in the forest and probably why

I became a licensed cosmetologist in 1994. I’ve worked for many years in high end salons paying my way through college. I know everyone’s missing Heather, and I am not her, but I figured I’d offer my services to the community. (My family members have never been to a salon :P)
When I moved to CO I was already a teacher and never transferred my cos. licensure to CO. But I’ve never stopped cut & coloring hair ;)
I know that a relationship with a stylist is very personal. I will not be offended if you don’t give me a shot. Again just offering a local service.
Waxing- yes I have waxing equipment using linen strips. I prefer to focus on the face - if you would like more we can discuss together.
Prices range- $10- $30
Haircuts- if more than 2 people in household, I can come to you.
Regardless- I do not have a wash station, so you need to come with freshly washed hair please.
Yes I have clippers, cutting shears, thinning shears and a razor
Price- $20
If interested give a shout: 720-two four 3-9 six 83 or by email juls1320@yahoo.com
Happy Holiday season everyone! :heart:

Happy to return after the holidays!

Unique Merc Week!
|
| Please Read Carefully- It’s a unique week!
Just like each beautiful snowflake, every Merc week can look kinda similar until you really get in there…
Wednesdsay-
This Wednesday is TRIVIA- (not Open Mic) so please come with a Trivia Team and have a blast. Winning Team Members get any drink of their choice. It is REALLY fun. But please warn your friends who play music!
All other Wednesdays are back to Open Mic. Open at 5 for Burgers, Trivia starts at 6.
Xo
Thursday-
“The Merc Classic”
DANNY SHAFER sings and Rainbow’s cooking dinner. Just like it’s been for a million billion years. Come get nostalgic, listen to everyone’s best friend, Danny Shafer. If you haven’t seen him, you have to experience the Boulder County legend. If you have, then you love him, so come early for a spot.
I’m making Chicken Marsala, (lots of good mushrooms) and mashed potatoes, Warm Kale Winter Squash and Lentil Salad, Yummy Bruschetta on that killer Kinship Bread. Plus Dessert Chef Jessica continues to wow us all with her cakes.
***FRIDAY- CLOSED***
**MERC EMPLOYEE HOLIDAY PARTY**
Saturday-
Grab a coffee and a burrito and a breakfast sandwich and chill. A nice time to read books or talk to a neighbor.
Sunday-
Brunch this week with music by DUNCAN COKER AND FRIENDS.
Rootsy rocker Duncan Coker stakes out new ground on the Americana landscape. Coker’s musical legacy runs deep, from a standout soprano in South Carolina to a guitar-slinging teen in New Jersey. Part honky-tonk, part red-dirt American, his music is a tribute to formative years by a river, guitar in hand, dreaming big.
And Saint of The Merc Louie turns 75 so come wish him well while dining on your eggs n toast!Jamestown Merc — 02:00 PM |

MOUNTAIN FOOD RESCUE
|
| EPIC FOOD PANTRY TONIGHT! MONDAY DECEMBER 9 FROM 5:30 TO 6:30PM
PLEASE COME RESCUE SOME AWESOME FOOD! AND PLEASE, BE SURE YOU TAKE SOME BRUSSEL SPROUTS!
Before I list some of the available items, we are going to try a couple of new ideas now that the weather is feeling like Winter!
First, Cemetery Road is still a little snowy and of course everyone will want to remember the speed limit on Lower Main and Cemetery Road is still 10mph!
Second, it will be COLD tonight so instead of opening the garage door we will want people to enter through the side door on the parking lot side of the building. We moved the intake desk to a different place and arranged the canned goods and drinks area shelves with a little gap in between so we can improve the bottleneck in that area. Just trying to do anything to increase the flow in the pantry so you don't have to wait so long to get into the warm area and to the foods you want to take home. If you have some constructive ideas on how to improve our traffic flow in the pantry, you can let the distribution volunteers know or you could respond to this post.
Third, we really did get a lot of food today! we picked up almost 1100 lbs from CFS and there was so much from Whole Foods and Ideal Market that we had to send one of our 3 drivers back to Boulder to pick up another carload! Keep in mind, what you don't take we need to get rid of tomorrow! If there's a no limit sign on an item please feel free to take what you can use
I'm going to just hit the Highlights on the food available.
We have MILK, EGGS, CHEESE! Lot's and lots of fruits and vegetables, greens, packaged greens, BRUSSEL SPROUTS, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, avocados, tomatoes, celery, onions, apples, oranges, lemons, limes, grapes, carrots, cucumbers and 23 giant veggie trays with dip! Maybe take one to the office?
Plenty of bread and other yummy baked goods including more Costco pies, pecan, pumpkin, and apple!
Lots of crackers, snacks, chips, drinks, canned goods, pantry items, Ramen etc.
Meats, We have whole Turkeys, ground chicken, chicken breasts, chicken drumsticks and really a bunch of stuff! I didn't put away all the food myself so I don't remember all the meat but the chest freezer is full, and 2 of the other refrigerators freezers are full! We did get more frozen pizzas!
Please consider coming tonight and please take a moment to consider how much money you are saving on this free food! Donations are greatly appreciated and neededLynnie — 04:34 PM |

Missing USPS package
|
| Thanks for sharing Joe. Let us know what you find out. I don’t know why they would do this after we have had such a problem with mail theft recently. Especially during the holidays when people don’t always even know when packages are coming.Tom P on Ranch — 02:31 PM |

Boxes
|
| Does anyone need moving boxes? We are accumulating a stack here that anyone is welcome to have. Located at 1236 Ridge Road or I can meet up in JT.
I’ll hold them for few days, but then will be discarding.

Missing USPS package
|
| Like Tom noted a couple of days ago, it appears that USPS is leaving large packages on top of the Overland Road mailboxes.
Here's one that we received today, with the little smiley-face note in the mailbox.
Never seen this done before -- always had to pick up large packages at the post office. Would seem like this would result in delivery theft.
We're going to stop in at the post office next chance we get to see why this is happening.

SnakeBytes - Snake van Habanero's Saturday Matinee - 2:00/4:00

| This weeks' offering is Aki Kauresmaki's "LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA", a zany Finnish comedy about a polka band on a jornada del muerto to the land of rock n' roll and shattered dreams. I highly recommend any of Kauresmaki's flicks, but this one is a good intro to his ouvre. I always enjoy some company. SvH (Don't forget your earmuffs and accordions) Elvis really IS everywhere! ( addenda - It popped into my mind that another rip-snorting movie about the great white north I want to promote is "DEVIL'S ISLAND" from 1996, portraying a stressed family living in an abandoned air base in Iceland) Lynn Wilber — 04:08 AM |

I fed an AI my picture - it saw this ...
|
| So you want to put photos on FB, store 'em on google, or even put them on this BB?
You may want to reconsider ... I stripped the metadata from this one - if I hadn't it would have precise time/date location and phone model.
It's rather insulting. The AI calls my magnificent jowls "the subtle wrinkling around the neck". Philistine!

Missing USPS package
|
| Also I went to the mailboxes this evening and there were two large packages just leaning against the lockers outside. I have never seen this before but freaked me out given when we all had our mail stolen a few years ago. I should have taken pictures and noted who they were for but I didn’t think of it at the time.Tom P on Ranch — 08:48 PM |

Missing USPS package
|
| Hello neighbors, I'm missing an important USPS package. Informed delivery and tracking says it was delivered yesterday. There was a parcel locker key in my mailbox as expected. But the key is for a locker that is broken, does not lock, and there is no package inside it. It seems as though the postal worker put a package in a broken locker and left the door open (!!!) but I hope there is a misunderstanding and one of you grabbed it by mistake. Let me know please if anyone has it or has advice on next steps.Tom P on Ranch — 02:46 PM |

New to the Bar-K
|
| Good call, Rose! :heart: It's a great way to meet all the wonderful people of the Jamestown area and help rescue some amazing food.
The food rescue posts on Monday afternoon about the food they have that week and any updates or changes to the schedule. They are also always looking for volunteers if you have some free time!KlausN — 09:31 AM |

New to the Bar-K
|
| Welcome to your new home!
Another weekly opportunity to socialize a little while waiting in line and "shopping" is the Food Pantry/Rescue every Monday from 5:30 to 6:30pm (aim to start lining up and get a number ball for the order in the line by around 5:15) at the Temporary Firehall on Cemetery Road in Jamestown. Free food and getting to know your neighbors in line, if you introduce yourself! Bring a shopping bag or two for your family. Your neighbor Klaus N is a champ at this and can tell you more.
Looking forward to meeting you there or at the Merc sometime soon. :)Rose H-H — 09:24 AM |
