 Brighton has lost a longtime icon. The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars-George B. Williams Post #2841) on Main Street has unfortunately been forced to close their doors and the sign will soon be coming down, as the building will soon be sold.

It is a very sad time for all our members as we will only have mementos, pictures and memories, but will still have the pride of everything we did for our veterans and our community while we were an organization. 

Imagine your final hours residing on this earth.  Just as a newly expecting mother may fantasize their child will never run screaming through Walmart, many of us also would like to believe that we’ll die after a hearty night of BINGO, slipping away while asleep.

That could happen. For the rest of us who had a child-vs.-Walmart episode, there is little reason to believe our passing would be so ideal.

To all the wonderful people that were involved in the care of Florence Conter, we want to thank all of you for the excellent care that our mother received from every one of you.

All of the staff at Avamere (formerly Kindred Health and Brighton Care), our mother received excellent care during her short period of time there.

I recently attended Stan Martin’s campaign announcement/kick-off. Stan is running for Adams County Clerk and Recorder. During this event, I learned Stan is a third-generation Adams County native born in Brighton, graduate of CSU, small-business owner with over 23 years corporate management, business and customer service experience.
