Drought
Short Of Disaster For Farmer
Cancelled
Pumpkin Festival - - Just One Impact
Rows
of young trees flutter green, big orange globes peek through a cloak of
vines. From a distance, Charlie Nygren’s New Forest Farm on Airport Road
seems to be surviving the drought pretty well.
A closer look says otherwise. The leaves are crumpled, the trunks are too
slender for this time of year The respectable future jack o’ lanterns
are far outnumbered by pumpkins that are “pitiful,” as Nygren puts it.
Computer
Corner -- Are You Ergo?
Is your mouse hurting you? Monitor drying your eyes or causing neck
pains? Keyboard crunching your wrists? If you’re feeling uncomfortable,
what about your kids? If you have kids at home, chances are that
they spend more time on the computer than you do. However, they may
not complain for fear you will limit their computer time.
During the summer, great weather, sports, and hanging around with friends
offer alternatives to surfing the ‘net and playing computer games.
But when the weather gets cooler and schoolwork requires it, computer time
increases.

Getting
Your Ducks In A Row
Steve Reycik, 52, never expected to purchase long term care insurance at
his age. But when his wife Susan’s parents ended up in a nursing
home costing over $12,000 per month, Steve was shocked to see how quickly
his in-laws’ assets were depleted.
Susan’s dad had a serious stroke, and his nursing home care costs nearly
$6,200 a month. After Susan’s mom fell and broke her hip, she entered
the same nursing home. With signs of dementia, her care costs another
$6,000 a month.
The Reyciks contacted Peggy
Pannke, an independent specialist in long-term care insurance and president
of the National Consumer Oriented Agency, Inc., to discuss their options..

Space In Gunbarrel Town Center Leads to Debate
On Aug. 22 the City of Boulder
Planning Board met to discuss plans for open space in the proposed Gunbarrel
Town Center (GTC). The board offered two options to resolve the current
open space issue. The first option called for the previously approved
amendment to be sent to the city council. This amendment would have
