While I am retired from School District 27J, I continue to advocate for quality education for all children. In a recent conversation with another resident, I was told that an administrator was instrumental in securing a $6,000 raise for a secretary who worked in the district’s central office. The raise increases over a three-year period.

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and we prepare to give thanks for the many blessings we have been given, I would like to remind all in the community of the wonderful gifts of time, talent and treasure that were given to our community at the recent Colorado Mission of Mercy Dental Clinic.

Our mother, Ellen M. Bohm, a longtime resident of Brighton, stayed at Avamere Transitional Care & Rehabilitation from mid-June until her death earlier this month. She started out receiving rehabilitation care but ended up needing skilled nursing care after a number of weeks and a second trip to the hospital.

The duties and responsibilities of the Sheriff are very difficult and challenging. I’ve worked with both candidates for more than 20 years. Only one of them has the education, experience, character and abilities to do the job well. That man is Division Chief Michael McIntosh.
