nNew 2014 utility rates will still be among the lowest in the stateSome Longmont utility rates are scheduled to increase next year, and the new residential rates are listed below. Many of these increases were scheduled years before the September flood, but some are being instituted to help pay for repair and replacement of infrastructure damaged in that flood.

Current Effective Dec 1, 2013Storm drainage user charge: $7.77/month $13.05/month (increase for flood-related construction) Current Effective Jan 1, 2014Sanitation rate: 96-gallon container- $12.68/month $14.14/month 48-gallon container - $ 8.97/month $ 9.65/monthParks and greenway maintenance fee: $1/month $4/month ($2 through 2016 is for flood-related construction)Sewer rate: Service fee $8.50/month $9.50/month Volume fee $3.46/1,000 gal $ 4.11/1,000 gal Volume fee is gallons per month

The City also is considering electric rate adjustments for 2014. The proposed changes include an average electric rate increase of 5 percent in 2014 that is expected to remain in effect, with no additional increases, through 2016.

Proposed electric rates will be presented to the city council for first reading on November 12 and second reading on December 17.

It is important to note that even with this proposed increase, Longmont’s electric rates for all customer classes will remain among the lowest in Colorado. In fact, Longmont residential rates would need to increase approximately 50 percent to reach the state average.

Longmont 2014 average total monthly utility bill compared to 2013 average utility bills of other cities* receive electricity from Xcel Energy

Please remember to keep your water meter pit cleared of snow.If you can’t easily walk to your meter from the street or alley, your meter reader can’t either. When you keep a path to your meter clear, it helps the reader more quickly and easily obtain an actual read, which keeps bills accurate and costs low. If you have questions about keeping meter reading areas cleared or obtaining automated meter reading equipment, call Longmont Power & Communications at 303-651-8386.

Video Illustrates Longmont Flood DamageA 20-minute video produced by the City of Longmont and the Longmont Channel that highlights the damage caused by the September flood is available online at www.ci.longmont.co.us/news/pr/2013/floodvideo.htm

Hosted by Longmont Public Works and Natural Resources Director, Dale Rademacher, and Longmont Police Commander Jeff Satur, the video takes a deeper look at areas that the average resident cannot see or find.

Many areas around the City are fenced off for safety reasons and the public cannot access. The video provides an eye-opening and revealing view of washed out bridges, destroyed trails, aerial footage of flood waters and a summation of the cost and time needed to repair all the flood damage.

“What took the City of Longmont 20 years to build, mother nature destroyed in one day,” Rademacher says at one point in the video.Longmont estimates that the flood caused about $148 million in total damages and Rademacher provides a comprehensive tour along the St. Vrain River and Lefthand Creek.An overview of Longmont flood recovery is available online at www.ci.longmont.co.us/flood-info/index.htm.

Residents Urged to Sign Up for Emergency Notification SystemIf we can’t reach you, we can’t alert you! If you have a landline telephone, that number is automatically registered with the City’s emergency notification service and you don’t need to do anything. If you would like to register a cell phone number, alternate phone number or email address, visit http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/police/massnotification.htm or call 303-651-8566. Don’t be caught off guard in an emergency.

Outdoor Warning Tests Begin in AprilEvery year from April through August, the City of Longmont tests the outdoor emergency warning system the first Monday of each month at 10 am. Other than for testing, the system will be used only to notify the community when action should be taken.

The sirens are for OUTDOOR warnings, although you might hear a nearby siren indoors. If you hear the siren and it isn’t 10 am on the first Monday of the month, you should immediately seek shelter inside and tune to a local television or radio station to learn more about the nature of the emergency. Comcast channel 8 and radio station KOA 850- AM are good choices.

Please DO NOT CALL 911 when you hear the siren unless you have a real emergency. It is critical to keep the 911 lines open for people who require immediate assistance. Residents are encouraged to use battery-operated weather radios that activate automatically during severe weather.

For more information, contact the City of Longmont Office of Emergency Management at 303-651-8438 or email [email protected].

Colorado Poet Laureate, David Mason, is scheduled to appear. Children & Teen Services will host a multifaceted storytelling event. A family history writing workshop and teen after dark party will also be featured. All events are free and open to the public. Stop by the Library at 409 4th Avenue or visit our website www.ci.longmont.co.us/library for more information and specific event schedule.

Discover Health at the Longmont LibraryThe National Center for Interactive Learning at the Space Science Institute is proud to partner with the Louisville and Longmont Public Libraries to pilot “Discover Health/Descubre la Salud” (DH/DS), a bilingual healthy living program for Colorado libraries and communities. The pilot version of DH/DS features bilingual “suitcase” interactives developed by the Pacific Science Center to engage patrons with information related to anatomy and healthy living. Discover Health will debut at the Longmont Library on January 6, 2014. Check out our website for information on related programs and opportunities for class visits. For more information, please contact Judith Anderson at 303-651-8475.

Submit Photos for City’s Web Home PageThe City’s new website will debut in early 2014 and we need photos that illustrate our fantastic community.

Below is an early version of the home page design. As you can see images of Longmont will fill the screen and serve as the background for the home page. The home page background image will rotate every time someone visits the website so we are in need of photos that will help create a positive image for the city and work well with our new layout.

Submit your photos to the city’s Flickr group at www.flickr.com/groups/longmontcolorado and add a description with the tags “Longmont Home Page”. In addition, send an e-mail to [email protected] providing the addresses to the images that you wish to submit. Make sure to read the disclaimers which gives the city permission to use your work for marketing purposes.

We will be contacting you to let you know that we are interested in using your photo.

Once the site launches, visit the webpage often to see if we’re using your photos. If your photo is selected you will receive a Longmont “goodie bag” filled with Longmont treats.

Broadband Services Network Moves ForwardCongratulations! As part of the November 5, 2013, election, Longmont’s voters approved funding for the full development of the City’s broadband services network making Longmont Colorado’s first gigabit city. Plans for a full deployment of broadband services, including high speed Internet, to City businesses and residents are now underway. Prior to the start of construction, the selection of the vendor to conduct design and engineering services for the City’s broadband system will need to occur. Revenue bonds to fund the system build-out will be issued and materials for construction purchased. These steps will be completed as quickly as possible. Construction will occur in phases and it is anticipated that it will take approximately 3 years to be completed. Updated information regarding the progress of construction and estimated service availability dates will be posted on the LPC website as it becomes available. Beginning in early 2014, look for information on how residents and businesses alike will be able to pre-register for services. The City of Longmont is excited for the opportunity to offer broadband services for businesses and residents. Stay tuned for notifications regarding sign up and connection capabilities as they become available. For ongoing updates about the development of Longmont’s broadband services, visit http://www.ci.longmont.co.us/lpc/TC/index.htm and stay alert for announcements through traditional and online media channels.

Did you know about Julia Coffin? Julia Ann Dunbar Coffin, the matriarch of Sandstone Ranch, was born on Dec 2, 1844, in Otsego County, New York. Three days after Christmas 1865, on Dec 28 at her home in DeKalb, Illinois, Julia, barely 21 years old, married Morse H. Coffin. Together the newlyweds set off west in the spring of 1866 on an adventurous journey by train and wagon across the Great Plains through Indian lands to Morse’s homestead in Colorado Territory. In a log cabin nestled near sandstone cliffs on the St. Vrain River, Julia gave birth to their first child, a girl, Geneva, on Oct 21, 1866. Family reasons were credited for Julia’s return to her home in DeKalb in April of 1868. But perhaps the hardships of pioneer living and the continuing presence of marauding Indians made her want to return to more safe and familiar surroundings. In August she bore a son, Merton, and by November, Morse

arrived to reunite with his growing family. They were listed on the 1870 census as citizens of DeKalb, Il, though by 1872 the Coffins returned to stay in Colorado. Two more sons, Adelbert Byron in 1874 and Morse Harry in 1877 were born at the Sandstone homestead. Her last child, another girl, Julia Etta, born in September of 1883 completed the family at about the same time the main house was built. Her husband Morse would later write - “Up to this time Mrs. Coffin thinks she has had her share of pioneering but she has stood it well and done her full share toward building up the home.”Visit online for more information about the history of Sandstone Ranch Visitors Center.

The Visitor Center includes hands-on displays on environmental features of the area, as well as history of the Coffin family who homesteaded the site, and other early Longmont history. There is no admission fee to the Visitor Center. A nature trail from the Visitor Center takes you past several historical buildings, near the sandstone

bluffs, and includes a scenic overlook.

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
