Pueblo West is no different from anywhere else in the US in
the fact that corporate stores like Wal Mart, Safeway, McDonalds and Taco Bell,
to name a few are present but there are more small business owners and stores
in Pueblo West than there are chain stores. When marijuana became legal in
Colorado numerous stores opened up in Pueblo West, it is not uncommon to find a
“pot shop” in shopping center next door to any other type of store or eating
establishment.</div>

“hot-button” issue on Capitol Hill and communities across the nation since the
introduction of Obama Care in 2009. After the implementation of Obama Care, people
with preexisting conditions have been able to obtain health insurance without
increased premiums much like those without preexisting conditions, increasing the number of people with
health insurance by over 20 million. President Obama increased Medicaid for
people that teeter on the poverty line or live below it, which also drove the numbers of
uninsured to get insurance.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> During the presidential campaign last
year candidate Trump vowed for healthcare reform by means of repealing and replacing Obama
Care. The new Trump Care bill that is being put before members of the Senate
would include cutting funding to the expanded Medicaid, sending that money to
the states in the form of grants which would cause people living at or under the
poverty level to lose their coverage. Another major point of Trump Care would be for people with designated preexisting conditions to be denied coverage or pay higher premiums than those without.</span></div>

<a href="http://www.city-data.com/poverty/poverty-Pueblo-Colorado.html">citydata.com</a> in 2015, 31.8% of Pueblo residents live under the poverty line.
Poor disabled men in Pueblo came in 34.7% and poor disabled women came in at
33.2%. This is the most likely part of the Pueblo community to be at risk of
loosing their health coverage altogether or would have to pay high premiums for
preexisting conditions under the proposed healthcare reform.</span></div>

On Friday, July 14, 2017 members of Pueblo Indivisible, a
faction of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PuebloCAC/" target="_blank">Colorado Accountability Coalition</a>, held a demonstration outside
of Senator Cory Gardner’s office in hopes of swaying him to vote against
Trumpcare. The group brought medical equipment marked with price tags to show
Senator Gardner’s people the cost of these items. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Members of the group took turns holding signs
and carrying the items up the fourth floor to Senator Gardner’s office. The
group wanted to bring awareness to the community and to Senator Gardner’s
people the costs related to medical items. If the health care reform is passed, and 22 million people
lose their health care coverage they will have to foot the bill for theses items
out-of-pocket, causing a heavier financial burden for people already living at or below the poverty level.</span><br />

they were finishing film school in Denver. The duo have been friends since
childhood and carried their combined passion for films into their studies and
now professional lives.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The Horror Film
Festival was a multi-tiered event with basic tenant being it was a way to
showcase the horror genre of film. The second tier is that the festival was
a means for local filmmakers to showcase their work and get it screened in front
of a live public audience. A call for entries was sent to the Pueblo community
and five local filmmakers answered the call, resulting in all five films being
viewed. The third and final tier of the Horror Film Festival was that it
presented the perfect platform for Story Mode to launch their newest film
Savages, a fifty-five minute feature horror movie set in a post-apocalyptic
world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When talking with
Brian Salay about the festival and why Story Mode hosted it he said, “I want
film to prosper in artistic places like Pueblo and I hope with events like
this, we can do that.”<br />
Brandon Sigg went on to add “ Our company has always
believed in the power of film in Colorado and the things it can do.”<br />
All in all it was a successful night as local filmmakers were showcased, Savages was debuted and all involved had a good time. In this authors opinion, the Pueblo Horror Film Festival is an event that should be continued and be a community builder for Pueblo.</div>

In his first year with the ThunderWolves Fox stepped onto
the field and recorded 10 tackles and a half sack for the season, but that was
just a launching point for him. Playing behind two of the best defensive ends
in the country at the time Morgan was able to up his total of tackles to
41 and
sacks total to eight during his sophomore campaign. Fox found more
success during
his junior season when he recorded 45 tackles (18.5 of which were
tackles for
losses), 12.5 sacks, one forced fumble and three pass break-ups. Morgan
also blocked
a kick in the semi-final game against West Georgia, helping propel the
ThunderWolves to the National Championship, which they won. During his
final
season Morgan tallied 52 tackles, 17 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass
break-up. During Morgan's senior campaign he set a school record for
most sacks in a season with 17, most sacks in a career with 36, most
tackles in a career with 164,
and most tackles for a loss with 49.5. Morgan was a finalist for the

in the 2016 NFL Draft but received an unrestricted rookie free-agent invite to
attend the Los Angeles Rams Rookie Mini-Camp, where he impressed the coaching

During the late 1800’s fur trappers dominated the landscape
of the west. Seeking their fortunes by killing fur bearing animals like
beavers, coyotes, foxes, bears, buffalo and wolves. As the beaver, buffalo, and
fox populations in the west fell the hunters turned their guns and traps to wolves.
Anti-wolf sentiment grew across the US, as wolves were portrayed as being
malicious hunters intentionally stalking and killing farmers and ranchers
livestock, while simultaneously killing off the deer and elk populations in the
west. Former President and conservationist Theodore Roosevelt was quoted from a
book he published in 1902 as saying <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"The wolf is the arch type of
ravin, the beast of waste and desolation. It is still found scattered thinly
throughout all the wilder portions of the United States, but has everywhere
retreated from the advance of civilization." The US government endorsed
the eradication of wolves from the US and by the 1960’s wolves were almost
completely extirpated from the lower 48 states, with only about 300 wolves
seeking refuge in the heavily wooded areas of northern Michigan and Wisconsin. In
1974 the Grey Wolf was placed on the endangered species list and received
federal protection from being hunted and killed and re-population efforts of the
wolves was started, which brings us to current day, southern Colorado.</span></div>

wolves and wolf-dogs. Mission:
Wolf was founded by Kent Webber in 1984 as a means to save wolves and educate
people about them. Kent opened the sanctuary with just a couple of wolves and
when he reached 52 he realized that the problem of people owning wolves and
wolf hybrids was much larger than expected and that he can not save them all.
Before becoming a full-time wolf conservationist Kent was an architect. While
being an architect may not seem relevant or related it goes hand in hand with
Mission: Wolf. Mission: Wolf is completely self-sustaining; solar panels
provide electricity, a well provides water, the staff grows their own food, a
truck was converted to run off of vegetable oil, the food for
the wolves comes <br />

livestock or horses. The staff at Mission: Wolf are all
volunteers that give up a minimum of six weeks to work at the refuge. When
asked about paying the staff Kent said “We don’t have the resources for that.
People work here because they want to make a difference for theses animals. As
an all-volunteer force, the staff is more willing to help each other, and there
is not much completion between individuals, it is all about the animals."
Mission: Wolf has very limited housing for its volunteers, most volunteers sleep

charge but they
would like a some help working on a small project from campers in
exchange for using the camping area. During a visit to Mission: Wolf guest will
be given a tour by one of the volunteers, that shows the wolf enclosures, tells
you about the wolves, shows the green houses and gift shop. Wednesday’s and
Saturday's are the “big feed” days, on these days large amounts of livestock are
chopped up, put in buckets carried to the enclosures and fed to the wolves. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The highlight to a visit at Mission: Wolf is
when all the guests sit around Kent and listen to him talk about the wolves,
their behavior, and how human behavior is vital to changing the relationship we
have with wolves. After sitting with Kent and hearing his instructions the
guests are taken inside an enclosure to meet the three ambassador wolves,
Magpie, Abraham and Zeab. It is here in this enclosure that people see a wolf,
touch a wolf and are greeted by a wolf licking inside their mouths while
staring them in the eyes, at that moment a connection is made. The wolves do this day in and
day out, it's the humans that make a connection and have experience that can not be
replicated in a book, watching a video or found on-line, it is real and it is
yours, it can be told and retold but until it is experienced it will not be
understood. As Kent said all the wolves want to do is live. After all the
exhaustive efforts humans have done to eradicate them the least we can do is
dismiss these old notions that all wolves do is hurt ecosystems, and target
peoples livestock and pets and embrace them as the beautiful creatures they are
and leave them be in the wild.</span> </span><br />

The Cotter Mill just south of Canon City began processing Uranium for
nuclear weapons and fuel in 1958. For twenty years the Cotter Mill was releasing
radioactive waste into unlined ponds on their grounds. In 1982 Cotter began
using lined ponds until the mill shut down all operations in 2011. In 1984, testing of some of
the wells in Canon City was performed by government officials and it was
discovered that there was contamination of the water, leading the government
to declare it a Superfund site. Cleanup for the Superfund site began after the
study in 1984 and continues through today. The Superfund includes the 2,600 acre area which includes the 640 acre mill and the nearby Lincoln Park neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is concern by some residents of Pueblo, like Pueblo County
Commissioner Buffie McFayden that contamination from Cotter has reached Pueblo.
McFayden was recently quoted by KOAA saying, “<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I do believe it's
time for Pueblo to get involved and work with the citizens of Fremont County to
not only demand a remediation plan that's realistic to cleanup the site, but
also to demand testing along the Arkansas in the sediment and in Pueblo
Reservoir.” While there is not a definitive answer as to how much contamination
there is or isn’t in the reservoir it is feasible to believe there could be
some.</span></div>

A call came across the radio stating there were two dogs blocking traffic on Thatcher Ave and assistance from animal control was needed. Colorado State Trooper, Steve Ortiz, was on scene and<br />

ushered the dogs off the road and onto the golf course. Shortly there after Colorado Department of Wildlife Park Ranger, Chris Hand, arrived to assist in the wrangling of the dogs until animal control arrived. The dogs on the other hand decided it was time to take a walk and wandered off the golf course and into a residential neighborhood off of Linda Vista causing both officers to give chase. The dogs led the officers down Linda Vista to Airlane. It wasn't until the corner of Airlane and Rice that the officers had their first shot at capturing at least one of the dogs. Trooper Ortiz was able to get one of the two dogs away from the other and was close to slipping the capture noose around the dogs head but was unable to do so. After chasing the dogs down several more streets, Trooper Ortiz and Park Ranger Hand relinquished the chase to animal control, who was able to continue chasing the dogs in their vehicle. Eventually animal control was able to capture the white dog but the brown one is still on the loose.<br />

It is no secret that people in need of assistance has been
on the rise in Pueblo over the last few years. People are making their way to
Pueblo for multiple reasons , with the booming marijuana industry, legal recreational and medical pot, or what ever the
reason may be, it can not be denied that people are choosing to move to the Steel City.
With an influx of people and a lack of employment opportunities for those
people, the need for services for people in need have risen drastically. The
local programs that use federal, state and county funds for people in need are
being pushed to their limits and people need help. <a href="http://www.posadapueblo.org/">POSADA </a>is one of those
organizations and on their website they state that right now, they are at their
limit for helping and they are helping Pueblo people and families before they can help
outsiders. POSADA also makes a suggestion that if you do not have enough money
saved to cover a deposit (first and last month’s rent) and a $500 deposit for
electricity, then people should reconsider moving to Pueblo. </div>

need can turn is the <a href="http://pueblosoupkitchen.org/">Pueblo Community Soup Kitchen</a>. For almost 40 years the
kitchen has been lending a helping hand to the people of Pueblo. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the most remarkable things about the
kitchen is that they only have three full time employees, led by Director, Eva
Matola and receive very little government assistance, most all of their food
comes from donations from places like Amy's Donuts and Safeway and is prepared and served by an almost all volunteer
staff.</div>

The Kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday with
breakfast starting at 9:00am and lunch at 11:15am. The Kitchen also provides
sack lunches for people with jobs that cannot make it back for lunch. Matola
said that the Kitchen serves about 80 people for both meals at the beginning of
the month, but as the month wears on and people’s money or food stamps run
short there is an upswing to about 130-140 people per meal. Matola said with school letting out for the summer she expects those numbers to rise with school-aged children looking for meals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the
donations come in they are sorted, stocked in the freezer or storeroom or
prepared for the days meal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the Kitchen does not use everything that is
donated to them, they often call upon other
organizations in Pueblo like The Salvation Army, and the Wayside Cross Rescue Mission and share the bounty with them and vice-versa. In order
to use the Kitchen patrons need not show proof of need, write down their name
or pay for anything, they simply have to walk through the door.<br />

gallery and conferencing space for organizations in need of meeting facilities

educational training seminars, executive study groups, conferences, special
events, ceremonial activities, educational outreach opportunities, and public
tours. The three values the Center focuses on are Honor, Integrity and
Patriotism. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
of the interesting things about Matt is the fact that he is not a Pueblo native
but he has nothing but the city and its people in his heart. Matt left Texas to
move close to his family in Colorado Springs over six years ago and began taking
classes at CSU-Pueblo. It was at this point Matt moved to Pueblo to lessen his commute for school. After living in Pueblo for the past six years Matt says
he sees the potential and the good things that the city has to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I never thought I would be this involved in the
community. I am proud to be part of this community and I know what is good
about it.” said Albright.</span> </span>As the program coordinator for the center
Matt is in unique position to have a we positive effect on the youth of Pueblo
through his work at the center. “I do believe that we are an amalgam of
everything we encompass as youths, so the more positive influences these kids are exposed to the more reference points they have to draw from later.” said
Albright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another perk for both Pueblo
and Matt is the fact the center has a mobile unit that allows the center to
spread their message across the United States but also showcases the fact that
the center is from Pueblo and highlights the four Medal of Honor recipients
from Pueblo. When asked about all the negativity associated with Pueblo recently
Matt said “The problems we see as unique to Pueblo are everywhere, sometime in
Pueblo that it is forgotten.” Looking back Albright said he never saw Pueblo in
his future he figured he would get his degree and leave but six years later he
is singing a different tune. When asked about the future of Pueblo Matt had this to say, “ I see
nothing but promise for Pueblo.”</span></div>

This series of photos were done as a project for a class. I have lived in Colorado for almost nine years and have done very little photography of the land. While much of Southern Colorado is high prairie it can still be beautiful. A short drive from Pueblo, Colorado can put you in the foothills and into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I was hoping to capture the beauty of Southern Colorado in Black and White, as a kind of homage to the great Ansel Adams.<br />

GDFR as most people know is a song by Flo Rida not commonly
associated with a season. A friend of mine tried to convince me that GDFR is in
fact, a fall song that is talking about the leaves changing colors and falling
off the trees. While personally I think it that is a bit of stretch I guess I
could see it. Which leads to my next point, I have lived in Pueblo for over
eight years now and had not made it to the mountains in the fall to see
Colorful Colorado in all it’s glory. So about two weeks ago I loaded my wife,
camera gear and myself into the Jeep and made the hour drive out on Highway 96
through Wetmore and into the San Isabel National Forest. I admit, I may have
ventured out a little early but I was not disappointed in what I had found. As
some one that waited eight years to make this trip, I highly recommend doing it
sooner rather than later it is worth the drive and your time.</div>

The dancing lights of Silver Cliff were featured in National Geographic in 1969. It is alleged that at night you can see lights of miners that have passed, people that were murdered in a mine deal gone bad or even the ghost of a little girl buried there. No matter why you go visit the cemetery and what you do or don't see it is east to agree that it is a pretty cool place visit.<br />

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">Pueblo is not what most people think of
when you say a town in Colorado. Most people not from here think that
winters are freezing cold with three feet of snow starting in December
and not leaving until April. While that may be true of some mountainous
areas it is not true in Pueblo. The average temperature for Pueblo is
about 50 degrees. Pueblo is nestled on the high prairie it gets about
350 days of sunshine a year. I am not saying it does not snow here it
does and here is some proof. It snowed two days ago, started to melt a little yesterday and got down to 5 degrees last night, so here some pics.</span><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSt32AGOQkWw_mNVKuxEJ_70kxyGi6i1zEpOoG5YVf9jPyFEK_TuPCxI-PWbJScOr2VJNvKU-HKSuV7AqzwvDmDJa9gfAz8x92hiM09vajPKBrGcEk4Lzz5gahPv8t_x22GH2FkOEtpdsw/s640/Frozen-2.jpg" width="640" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VhsshbAH2-GsqcUOzHM7I69WTzgu9SSSXcaXeJ1A6Kmi5IuxPKs6gC5vfBpPBtlJc2TO_awYzTA2zaoR5EO97xWEuVcQgcHnmJi3DMSVP2FdZCFelrbksMDU37q-0lQ6L9pol6_qkay0/s1600/Frozen-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VhsshbAH2-GsqcUOzHM7I69WTzgu9SSSXcaXeJ1A6Kmi5IuxPKs6gC5vfBpPBtlJc2TO_awYzTA2zaoR5EO97xWEuVcQgcHnmJi3DMSVP2FdZCFelrbksMDU37q-0lQ6L9pol6_qkay0/s640/Frozen-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Between Union and Victoria downtown Pueblo sits an alley, while it for
years it has served as just that, an alley, it is now getting a new life thanks to neon. One mans initiative is bringing the light and has established Neon Alley. While not all the signs are up and working here is a glimpse of Neon Alley.<br />

Tonight I finally got out and got some decent pictures of it. Shooting sky's and especially longer exposure night shots is not something I do very often, so bear with me, as there is definitely a learning curve, and I will get better with time and practice, I promise!<br />

Pueblo is known as The Home of Heroes because of the four
Medal of Honor Recipients that are from Pueblo. While this a fact that cannot and
should not be disputed, it is also representative of Pueblo as a community. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Home of Heroes, everyday heroes, heroes that
get up everyday, head to work to provide for themselves, their families and
contribute to the community. I intentionally left out our firemen and police
officers because they are a different kind of hero that receives recognition in
a different way. This portrait series is about lesser known and appreciated
heroes, business owners, business professionals and the everyday working person.
We have them all, and the following is just a small cross-section of the
diverse working population of the everyday heroes of Pueblo.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">According to the National Weather Service, parts of El Paso county have received anywhere from 8-10 inches of rain during the month of May. There have only been seven days in May that measurable precipitation has not fallen in Colorado Springs. With the years of drought like conditions and abnormally high amount of rain in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Fountain Creek, which originates
in the mountain town of Woodland Park, pushes its way south through Colorado Springs, then further south to Pueblo and serves as a tributary to the Arkansas River. With the quick hitting storms and 24 days of rain Fountain Creek has overflowed its banks, eroded land, changed the course of the creek and created a clean-up problem for Pueblo. The complete impact the flooding and changing course of Fountain Creek may not be determined for months after the water recedes and the clean-up has taken place, but the one thing that is for certain, is that habitats have been altered, the landscape along the creek has been changed and work needs to be done to protect the integrity of the creek and it's surrounding areas in the future.</span></span><style> <!--

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for the fallen soldiers of our nation. With the designation as the Home of Hero's with four Medal of Honor recipients and many soldiers of Fort Carson and their families calling Pueblo home it is only fitting that the city of Pueblo and the Pueblo Veterans Council held a Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans Bridge along the Pueblo River Walk.<br />
