A highlight from Saved by Grace - Ed Nelson Biography
"Well, greetings everyone. I'm here today with Emily Nelson, a 2016 BJU graduate, somebody I very much want you to meet. She has some exciting things to tell you and I pray that you will hang on with us for just a little while, maybe eight or ten minutes, and be blessed by what Emily has to say. She has written a biography of her grandfather, Dr. Ed Nelson, a graduate of BJU. I've known Dr. Nelson since I was really young. He's a few years older than I am, so you can imagine how ancient he really is, but you'd never know it. He's as energetic as he was when I first knew him. I've never met a man so restless for the cause of Christ and the gospel than Dr. Ed Nelson. Emily, thank you for taking your time to be with us. Thank you for having me. I want a quick question to get into this. Why should anybody want to read about your grandfather, Ed Nelson? Well, I'm biased for sure because it's my grandfather, but he really has had a remarkable life, and it's a life full of the miraculous, a life full of just believing God and expecting him to work. And I know as I helped him write this book, it was a real challenge to my own faith just to believe God at his word and to expect him to work. My grandfather, who loved your grandfather very much, as did my dad and as do I, my grandfather said, every great man at some point comes under the dominating influence of some great truth. What would you say is that dominant truth that gripped your grandfather when he was young and that kind of drove him through his life of ministry? I'd say it was probably this. I am a sinner, and I have a great savior, and I want to do everything I possibly can to further his kingdom because of what he's done for me. That's very well put, and I think it absolutely describes what propelled him through life. He was always in motion. I've never met him when he was not just like a meteor crossing the sky. His energy was remarkable. I've been with him on some long mission trips, and no moss ever grew under his feet. The title of the book is A Sinner Saved by Grace, so that was a good description. Tell me about the time, the point in life, when he became a grace -saved sinner. What was he doing at the time? What influence did God bring into his life that got his attention and brought him to Christ? Well, he grew up on a farm in Windsor, Colorado, which is a little bit north of Denver. He had aspirations of being a great farmer just like his dad was. When he was 17 years old, he was in a farming accident. They were a very moral family, and his dad would take them to church every Sunday, but it was not a Bible preaching church. When he was in that accident, the doctors said he wouldn't make it through the night. He prayed and said, God, if there even is a God, I want you to hear my prayer, and I want you to save my life. If you do, if I live, then I'll get a Bible and I'll read it. Well, he made it. Spoiler alert. He made it, but he did get a Bible, but he didn't understand it until about four years later, your grandfather, actually, Dr. Bob Sr., was preaching at the First Baptist Church in Fort Collins, and his mailman came by and invited him to the revival meetings. He didn't really want to go, but out of respect for the mailman and his testimony, he was like, fine, I'll go. So he went that first night, and your grandfather preached and said that he was a sinner and that he deserved to die. It made him so angry that he found that he would never go back. Well, the next day on the tractor out on the field, he was like, I wonder what he's going to preach about that would make me mad again. And so he went back, and that happened four nights. And on the fourth night, he was like, you know what? What this man is saying is true, and it's not, I haven't been angry at him. I've been angry at God because I know that this is truth. And so he surrendered his life, and he came to know the Lord that evening. And I asked him when I was writing the book with him, I said, Grandpa, what were you saved from? And he was like, I was saved from my own goodness, because he was such a good moral person. He was saved from his own goodness, and he said that he knew deep down inside that there were things that he would think or say or look at that were not godly. And nobody else knew it, but that's what he was saved from. From that point in time, his life changed forever. The self -righteous sinner may be the hardest sinner to open his heart to the Lord.

I enjoy sitting enjoying a drink. The shine shop Or drink and a great meal over the tavern drinking and eating a hobby to me. So i i. I'm not a big workout guy.

You gotta work out man gotta take care of your body thing you can do well in this place so i don't know if you've seen any of these but it's called hot works over here in greeley and it it is. They've got individual boxes and they use infrared heat in there as well so it's like a sauna when he walk into these individual boxes and then they've got like peleton bikes in there. They do like hot yoga. So i might end up doing hot yoga and i've never. I'm not flexible. I don't bend. i've never done yoga before sipping lay outside of and comfort zone. But i'm excited about it. It's it's really kind of a cool thing. I you know what. I i think anything anything to get your working out his great. I'm just a straight up Workout in my basement Go run or bicycle from a pretty simple man. When it comes to working out and i liked what i like about this though gyms i don't know this is this is let's let's open up. Miles is going to be my psychiatrist here for a minute. My therapist I don't know if this is rudy from high school but when we were would lift weights there was always that harto in the gym. They were trying to be lifted more. And this and that and i don't like that i don't i want to just do what i'm gonna do. Leave me the hell alone and you do you. That's the number one thing absolutely you do. And if you choose to go to you know a workout place gym or whatever. I think that's great or if you wanna do it at home The reason i do it at home is that we can do it on my own time. And i don't have anybody like that saying anything to me so yeah i just do it in my basement but i understand why people go to the gym says well. Yeah no doubt miles lamar with colorado art miles. Let's talk about something with substance here. Just my lack of working out what do you. What have you been working on miles. Yeah you had another trip. You're back at it kinda just getting up to speed up to the long labor day weekend. Yeah i am yeah. I went out to the oregon coast for a week. It was beautiful So yeah. I'm just i just got back into town not too long ago. Catching up Obviously aspen viewing is is You know on the horizon here. I went up for ride yesterday up West of fort collins josh starting to get a little bit of color So i'll have a story coming out soon on where to go. And and the the the good news is is the cameron peak fire burn. Some aspen stands. Yes but some of the driving tours up there are still in really good shape. So we're about two weeks out to peak but It was a great excuse for me to To to get up there and take a look around. And and i can't wait you know we're certainly leaves changed things like that. I can't wait for the temperatures drop just a little bit. Because we're i mean we're supposed to set some records with the heat. Are you still seeing. Even though with that he people are still getting out there and visiting and seeing the leaves change. Yeah i think you know with with the weather hanging on in fact. I think it's supposed to be ninety seven on friday Yeah people are definitely getting out and about there. Were still quite a few people in the pruder canyon that i saw yesterday and it's really ironic because a year ago is We had our earliest snowing On record in fort collins When we got two point three inches of snow on september eighth The good news about that snow was that It did help firefighters because that fire had grown like over seventy thousand acres in just a few days And it did get some homes and monument calls in the rustic area and that snow Really saved some of the other structures from from From being damaged or so. That was a very fortuitous snow. But that's not going to happen this year. I couldn't believe that i was talking to our meteorologist to comes in. And he was a year ago we had snow on. I don't know if. I just have a terrible memory or if there was just so much stuff that have tried to block out two thousand twenty but i don't remember that snow. Yeah yeah it was a nice wet snow. You know i think Over the two days we got almost three inches and then in october is when we got you know october. Twenty four twenty fifth the fire. That essentially put out the cameron peak fire We got about thirteen inches of snow. Here so Yeah we we do. Get early snows but right now the short and long term forecast looks like it's going to be still pretty warm and Pretty dry a. I'm ready for that to change. Especially because it's it's you know football's back foot both infants wayne. We got our first. Nfl game tonight. Miles see you though got stomped what what. What were you take away from that you know i. I watched the game out in oregon Watering electric crowded if unfortunate that that You know see a few Couldn't couldn't you know. Couldn't hang with south dakota state which is which is a really good team. But yeah i you know. I think i said to you before on on on what other time we talked i think as the offensive line goes that gives you a chance in that offensive line just wasn't good a against south dakota state and i think you know a team that would like to run the ball and can't run the ball and probably doesn't pass with a lot of effectiveness I think it's gonna be really difficult. for them the rest of the season and unless they can get that offensive line Going but yeah. It was a bomber because there was such a great crowd In the students. And i i really think it's a very pivotal week For football i think if they win it could sustain some fans for a little bit however they have toledo and in iowa on the road if they lose I think there's gonna be some significant worry among fans. Yeah and i think there's a little bit of that already starting to bubble up a little bit certain pop up a little bit With with this loss. And i don't think anybody really expected that You know maybe it was a close game and i. I always thought that south dakota state had a chance of of edging this out. But i never thought it was going to be a blow out like that. Maybe two and a half point favorite You know which You know. I don't know but but south dakota state is a good team and i think i think a big difference with them a compared to see us you you know they can run or pass and i think that makes your defense work a lot harder and you don't see us you just could not run the ball and you know they could throw a lot of balls to trae mcbride. He'll probably get a lot of balls this year But if if that's your offense Trae will end up with a lot of good statistics and see issue. Unfortunately you'll probably end up with a lot of losses. You know miles. You've been around. You've been around sue for quite some time Do you contribute any of this. To the fact that look stevedores. Ios of Football philosophy is a whole hell of a lot different than what we saw with mike. Bobo even going back to jim mcelwain whereas more aired out type of a of an offense and now adagio is just trying to ground a pound do. does you.

"On february sixteenth against unc that one has been officially cancelled. Right kevin yep. That will not be played this year. It's a bummer. Out there by early this year and see if you had the move it because they're kovic shut down And and now. Unc gets it rise they were about to play. You know the reschedule game and and now with time running shore it's just Canceled i i believe that series was a two for one schedule. So i don't know if they'll Just move out and do three next three years play. Or what. But but they will play in the future. But a bummer. That won't happen this year. That was something that a lot of people were looking forward to and that was that was one that was set in stone. However you tweeted out. I believe it was just yesterday. Kevin that one of the the bracket tala g people setting up they. The march madness bracket as of right. Now had ceus you in eight seed. And who do they have. Is that number nine seed. Well the colorado buffaloes. Yeah it's These bracket projections especially with a month left in the season. They you know taken with a grain of salt especially the match you can predict. You know general seating but matchups is free. Stuff doesn't really mean anything. I don't think see you and see if you will meet in the first round. Because i think they're gonna fairly similar seeds so eight nine early. The only place they can do that but man how fun would that be a rocky mountain showdown in the ncaa. Tournament happened once before. Nineteen sixty nine if you beat see you to to make the elite eight but Certainly in the modern twitter era That would be one heck of a fun day. Yeah it absolutely would be and you saw see you kind of get back on track last night with a big win against oregon state but that would be That would be incredible for all of colorado fans to be able to to sit and watch that. I'd prefer them not to match up in the first round. Kevin let let's let them get a both get a win under their belt and then make it a little bit even more interesting. Let's not settle. Okay or yeah. I i think think kevin line fort collins colorado kevin. What are you working on. What do you got coming up man. Yeah well based on what we're talking about. I have a ten deeper look at the ncaa tournament resume. And what is and isn't working for them there and then obviously i'll take a little afternoon nap and movie arena night. Nine pm tip You new mexico's on f s one Former head coach two miles on the call. So that'll be fun. Yeah that'll be a blast to watch that this evening as well last thing kevin. I don't know if you've got any insight in this with some of these cove nineteen restrictions lifting a little bit in larmer county and across the state. Do we expect issued to reverse any of its decision about doing any fans into the stands. We saw two thousand up in wyoming Do you expect that to happen at all the season. No every indication has been that they're basically again continue through the school year as is with no fans that obviously from the best balls men's basketball.

"You gotta you gotta get a sweeping rewrite. Yeah absolutely like you mentioned new mexico's bad. They're still even With their paws there. They've gone through so much. I mean they were. They were in lubbock for most of the season. I couldn't be at home practice at home. So they've been through a ton they're still down on. I think it's the maybe eight scholarship guys. They're really just kinda struggling through the year. So much going on with their their health regulations in new mexico. If you need to sweep a loss in either of these games would be very very bad for. Ncaa tournament hopes it would come close to killing them So sweet and this. That's the nice thing about it. You know even in the wyoming series. Say that rivalry jeff wonders. What he's building up there. Some special y- you're not you. You didn't want a split there. Obviously you get the sweep but this is the first series and a while that you say for for years you you have to have it and that's because you're half a game back out of utah behind utah state in the mountain west. There's a legitimate chance and a legitimate row forces you to win the mountain west conference. Yeah exactly and some you know. Utah state and boise state's off to play utah state. It looks like as an cova shutdown right now because they were wyoming series just got cancelled so so. That's another wrinkle. The things you have new mexico at home you go to nevada and then you have air force at home certainly those home games. Psu needs to take care of business and get four. More home wins to to be in that conference title. Mix then in about a month. will they do. They've got the easiest out right. Yeah i think so. I mean that series at nevada next week is very very hard but you know boise still. Has you know. San diego state. Utah state left. Utah state boise. Say obviously san. Diego say those boise state so so those top teams can all really. If you're you're you're probably rooting for splits and all this series because that means everyone is taking losses But yeah if you have the past there they they need some help. But but like i say because they're play each other they'll get some help But but there's certainly a realistic past the. Did you expect that to start the season. No i thought would be top four. I think i picked them either. Third or fourth in the preseason poll that seems like a long time ago the pop here but but no if you told me with three series to go they would be you know basically in a pseudo ties you know near the top i i. I didn't expect that they've they've i think exceeded most people's expectations and taking a leap forward this year. It's been a lot of fun to watch You know as you check the schedule if anyone out there is is looking at Schedule obviously you see a game..

"Well so be it. 'cause 'cause i'm not letting you get anything easy. The they football side of him. Coming out in that enforcer. I mean that's key to have a especially when you when you get into some of these these big time games you need you need that To be the more physical team here. So let's take a look ahead kevin. Obviously tonight you don't have to look very far ahead. i well i guess. Twelve hours ahead. It's nine o'clock tip off against the university of new mexico. What expect this series to go like against a bad new mexico team. This is such a strange setup because last week new mexico is suppose play san diego state and it got cancelled and there were reports coming out of new mexico that the team was going to get enough. Players are going to opt out that the team was gonna shut down and then it just didn't happen and it turns out that new mexico basically just got a a week off to to rest and recuperate which is very unique in. Yeah and they'll see issues certainly concerned that you know new. Mexico was not a covert shut down. My may be clear that so they were practising so they been. They basically have five weeks to prepare for. Cs you which is Obviously not not a basketball thing. That's the football thing so a very unique situation you said it you. Mexico is bad. They've struggled to still. Does you know they just need to take care of business. It doesn't really matter what new mexico did But is gonna be strange and it's gonna be interesting to see A mental and physical reset serve new mexico because that's not something teams generally are afforded in the middle of the season. And it's a very strange way how it all went down dukes in this is this is just me thinking here. Because i've been seeing this happened with some of the highschool games tip-offs maybe just being kind of all over the place. There's not as much set stuff in a normal year. Everybody be like what the hell did new mexico just do is. This isn't going to be a new thing that teams can. You know we're gonna shut down for a while And we'll start a up next week. That just can't be the case right. Yeah and that's what's so strange. Me obviously the cogan shutdowns. We totally understand that situation but yeah they. They had enough by all reports enough healthy players as far as cova but they had some guys are just kind of banged up with some other things and and yeah it kinda just didn't play. It's it's very unique. I can't see how it can continue this year. Everything so weird and everything's so on the fly that you know nothing's going to happen other than i wouldn't be shocked if they end up calling those just forfeit wins for san diego state But yeah i mean if this were a normal year and team did that you know it would be. It would be chaos. But i think with everything this year. It's like a alright like no one knows exactly how to navigate the season. So let's just charge for talking with kevin line the fort collins colorado and it's just craziness obviously see us you big favorites in these next two games..

"Yeah and he is probably into the first kind of funk of his career. I you mentioned that lot turnovers. Yeah i'm against boise. State wyoming hit zero assists in the second game against wyoming which is crazy because even some of these games are he's had a high number of turnovers you look. He has eight nine. Can this so that zero was kind of shocking I think it's a combo of things. One is obviously just every defense is focusing on isaiah stevens. And so that's always a little bit and just period to get used to to that and i think you're starting to see some presi. Not just with him but from the team Because you know it's basically natural you. Yeah you can try and walked out all the state tournament talk and all that but you know these guys have phones. They have friends they have family. I'm sure they all are getting texts from their buddies. They oh hey man. I saw jerry palm. Has you know as a number eight seed. Yeah go see issue. It's hard to block that out. You know and their kids the the first time they've been through this process so i think you're seeing as a team Sunday turnover issues are just being a little tight trying to be too perfect. Make you know to perfect a play instead of just an easy one and this team's talented enough to to make up for some of that as we continue our conversation with kevin lila the fort collins colorado on the turnovers or still an issue On that saturday game against wyoming as well but he hold on in you win by By nine points but the turnovers were there again david. Roddy oh man. I is as stevens isn't playing great in stevensville at fourteen points but man david. Roddy is a beast. Yeah exactly mean last year. Isaiah stevens was the mammoth west player of the year And the any knock on stevens because he has every chance to be a amount west player of the year and yeah at some point as well but when he was named freshman of the year. Yeah i remember talking to some people. I said David roddy might be the first one that gets a chance to be the conference best player because his feeling is just so high because he has such a unique player He does things you just don't see. I mean he can play at the dinner at the five spot or you could even play him as a as a point guard if you needed to. He can play everywhere you know. He shoots the three pretty well for for what he does. And he's just a bully at me a great rebounder. He's incredibly unique layer. I mean niko medved. Says he's the most unique guy. He's ever coached so his ceiling is incredibly high. And and yeah you can see. There are times when when not playing. Well roddy is the guy that just has to find a play and generally does and usually it's by bullying. Someone i mean he had a couple. You know wyoming guys. We're going to the ram and right here saying you dunk so i'm going for the block and you end up on the floor and a foul called on me..

"Is not. Is it not a little bit of a knee jerk. Reaction just like with the Large number of Of executive orders. That joe biden has signed. Wasn't that a little bit of a knee jerk. Reaction wasn't that. Just joe biden coming in and complete clearing out whether it was good bad or indifferent everything that trump had done. Isn't that exactly what he's done. And here's the thing is that that's probably why it was elected. Because he ran on nothing. More than saying i am going to overturn and completely wipe out everything that former president trump had done. And he's doing it right now but that just feels naive to me one way or the other. It feels naive to come in guns. Blazing say you know what everybody out that feels like. It's too quick. Pull on the trigger on it with these. Us attorneys but maybe maybe. i'm wrong. here. I wanna know. Your thoughts are poll question up on our facebook page at noko now On facebook you can text the cave tech on nine seven zero four seven eight one three zero one nine seven zero four seven eight one three zero one And that's what that's what's so frustrating about politics right now and again. There's always been a little bit like this. But just the absolute you've got an or besides your name get out you've got a d. Beside your name get out. I hate that. I really really do. Because there are great people on both sides of the aisle and the fact that we're not sitting there and saying hold on a second let's evaluate what they've done in that role. Let's let's see how good of an attorney they have been but it doesn't feel like there's been any of it because joe biden has been a busy man. He's been a busy man since he was elected.

"You're going to start to have you would imagine you as you start to imagine that you'd have to have some of these restrictions loosen up a little bit. Yes there's ways to do it safely. And you gotta find that that ground that that common ground to be able to operate the oil and gas industry safely while still continuing to generate that revenue because of because of the revenue that is generated by the oil and gas industry for not just weld county but for the entire state. Don't think that governor polls doesn't know this and don't think that he's not paying close attention as well because you know there remarks as well county and wyoming There's there's a again the rearing its head of of the possible. Secession from colorado. Excuse me to join wyoming Governor police said keep your hands off of weld county. Well i think for a lot of reasons governor. Police doesn't really doesn't really care if weld. County became Was annexed into wyoming. But the one reason that he should is because of the money generated from not only the oil and gas industry but because of the agricultural industry as well so this is is alert. alarming to some but as jason maxi goes on to say it's super easy to read headlines on the internet. Or here's sound on the news or see them on facebook and have iraq. And i'm guilty of doing that as well. The best way to do any type of research is to go to the source. Don't just rely on that headline go see what they actually say. He's continuing to work through this executive order that the that president biden put into place on january twenty seventh. It was a sixty day timeframe. The administration will not award new drilling permits. The order however does not affect current drilling or previously approved permits. If a project has been permitted but not started. The company is still free to move forward. People saw this coming right and at the end of the donald trump presidency People were starting to stockpile permits so yeah it does have an effect eventually but there were some things that were done in In preparation for this new drilling isn't completely banned. Either certain exceptions are allowed but they must be approved by small number of high-ranking officials at the department of interior. So does the executive order impact weld county the tribune s wealth features the ponti national grassland which is federal property property but it only makes up eight point. Three five percent of the county's area so yeah that is a that is a hit and with an industry that's already been under attack that seemingly is is just another blow the grassland features three hundred and sixty seven total wells maxi said of these seventy four fall under the act of status this means they are producing wells shut in wells temporarily. Abandoned wells forty-six are considered other status. Which means the location didn't work out or they are locations that have been permitted. their remaining wells are inactive. So yes it will have an impact but as of right now and knock on wood This is it seems to be a seemingly small impact on what it's going to have all right last store here news..

"And community corrections and seven hundred twenty three thousand three hundred and two dollars for the lehrer county jail according to county documents. Yet you think it's a little bit expensive to be paying for this hour. Mark was the county's previous vendor spokesperson. Michelle bird said under the previous contract food service for community corrections and alternative sentencing cost about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually. So it's going up a little bit obviously The cost for jail was not available as of monday afternoon. The county's decision that. That's what i wanted to know is his why they made this decision to switch it over. What what was the point here. If it's gonna go up a little bit well. It was not related to the quality of the food provided the inability for the previous vendor to keep experienced an adequate staff Yeah that plays role and really. We've talked about this with a couple of industries right of being able to keep that quality staff and We talked about it yesterday for superintendents for schools. You're seeing more and more people not wanting to be in the school system obviously in the public school system that is obviously teachers. Are underpaid superintendents face criticism. And they're kind of damned if you do damned if you don't scenario right now with cove nineteen so you're seeing this more and more about not being able to find quality of help and That happened to be the case with aramark. Who is the Lerma county food provider County manager linda off and said during the meeting the previous vendor also provided inconsistent packaging. Quality hoffman said Here's the quote. There was never a problem with anything having to do with the. Usda great equality of the foods being supplied hoffman said but it was just that packaging aspect and the staff. Not being able to keep that on there. The commissioners unanimously approved the contact Contracts during the fairy second administrative matters meeting So this happened a couple of weeks ago and again When that's a big contract right. I mean you're talking about about one point three million dollars worth of food that they're going to be providing to both dilemma county alternative sentencing a community corrections and armor county jail so a big turnover and a big change there. So if you wanted to see the difference in in what that's going to cost there. It is one of the things you know as we talked about. And we're gonna continue to talk about. What joe biden has done here in. Almost what were couple days away from The one month mark as We have president biden one of the things. That immediately came under attack was the oil and gas industry And and it was. It was immediate and it caught a lot of people. I think off guard because He he again kept saying that. They're now they're not going to ban fracking. I gotta do this and that and it seems like it's gone against it but what does that have. What kind of a local impact does that have Well let's let's dive in this piece coming out of the greeley tribune president. Joe biden signed that executive order last month temporarily pausing the leasing program for oil and gas drilling on federal lands. The first response in kenny was one of worry but some say not to do that yet. This is where things get a little bit interesting aaron weiss. He's the deputy director of the center for western priorities Had this to say saying that the order does almost nothing to impact oil and gas companies. The center for western priorities calls itself a nonpartisan go conservation and advocacy group working to.

The septic tank and Leech field are and they can probably scan it and email it to you. So glad you called. No idea. Yeah, I'm glad you called, because you don't want a water over the leech field for the reasons I just mentioned a few minutes ago. And so, Yeah, they'll have a diagram for you. That you can.

It is covered, and I think I heard you once say that it's best to let it breathe and not have it covered. Yes, there should be at least two round kind of manhole sized holes in the septic tank with lids. And you want those exposed to the air, so the septic tank and breathe And so it doesn't? Uh, otherwise it can encourage deterioration of the concrete of the septic tank from sulfuric acid. So they sell decorative sleeves that you could buy a ranch supply store like big are something like that. It's a green sleeve with a green lid on it, so you'll always know where the septic tank is. But that way those lids are exposed to just a little bit of ventilation. And that means that your septic tank will last longer. It'll be healthier because.

"Poodle is ready to to handle this well and i think you know the through the fall. The you know did so that the That our our schools were hot spot. And i think there's a things that Did flare up. They had to You know basically isolate and do some things like that but You know. I think You know there's the vulnerable populations and and trying to And then they it was. We got around the thanksgiving timeframe there was a lot of Social mixing with Holidays and so forth Right after the holidays and so forth. And that's when our number started going up it wasn't it Due to our schools it was doodoo. Just I'm mixing And and and and in groups and that sort of thing so you know. I think if we keep an eye on those things that actually transmit to the virus And and if. We're not always keeping vigilant that if we have some of the symptoms and We isolate ourselves or At least get testing down and and then You know at sea issue for example. The testing there has been real literally phenomenal. And you didn't see any of the hotspot outbreaks that you been at many other universities and so i think it gives a lot of credit to the very proactive approach that You did with saliva testing. That can actually indicate the Wastewater testing than and also a lot of Individual testing For the The virus and you know it. You know going on campus. You really had to be tested before. He actually went on campus so All those things were very important know to help. Keep the virus down. And that's exactly where i was going next year. You're reading my mind going to talk you. And how well. They did handle that that first semester but they looked to come back and get things going here in this spring semester. It's still a little bit of a hybrid schedule from what i understand. But that testing really is. That's the difference maker in being ahead of the game here. i think so. And and also there's a little bit of delay with the virtual. I mean as starting virtually and then moving to more some of the In person and Hybrid kind of model And being to accommodate those. That might be coming back and allow some time if if there wasn't infection so it's not so we don't start up in person right away and and so You know. I think there's the right kind of precautions that recognizing that You know we still have a lot of the education. Just isn't a virtual game. It's a it's a sometimes a contact sport where you need to engage personally with a in certain ways and project You know. I teach a class where students are in small groups and doing hands on projects and that sort of thing so all. That's part of the education so we're trying to do it in a way that is safe and and but also it's maintains a high level of quality of education for collins. Mayor way trucks joining us this morning.

One of the newly elected Lamoure county commissioners kristen stevens She was mayor pro. Tem and district four council member and We reluctantly I'd to accept her resignation so that she could be sworn in as county commissioner. I think she'll do a great job. We have a good relationship with the city and the county and and and then also Doty shattuck i think she'll she'll do a great job and and then also John follow so. I think i look forward to a good working relationship with our commissioners going forward Also in fort collins. We have april elections for our council. So there could be up to five.

They really didn't have the uptick that we saw at at c. You for sure They had a couple of outbreaks. I believe but the handle the really really well. And as i pulled up the covid nineteen dial dashboard as he's talking and they currently sit as does everybody. I get it in level orange but the other things that you have to look at his decreasing or stable hospitalizations two week average. Positively all of that so right now decreasing her house or stabilizing hospitalizations. There ten days that is yellow. two. Week average positively. Let's get this pulled up. That is yellow. The only thing that they're off by is the two week cumulative incidence rate that you're supposed to be below three hundred and fifty to get into the orange category so they're read right now so now what you look at were. Do you look at two week average. Positively do you look at the decreasing or stable hospitalizations or do you look at the two week cumulative incidence rate that's the million dollar question right now. No one knows for sure what best to look at but larimer county it. Looks like they could be At least four that five-star program could be operating in in yellow very very soon ten fifty time.

"Cruising in on ten thirty six looking at these are tough conversations to have here talking about yesterday. There's no there's no. I don't think there's a right answer necessarily and i'm not saying that my opinion needs to be everybody else's but from what i saw. Yesterday i felt like i wanted a stronger response from the president and i'm hoping for a better response in twenty twenty one because both sides have it's it's just been a so we'll talk more about that later on the snow cone out about jeanine agencies. Tanner went thanks for being with us this morning. Joining us now up. On the hotline it is fort collins. Mayor wade trachsel mayor. Thank you so much for joining us. Happy new year danner. Happy new year to you too. Glad to join you again. Thank you absolutely so. Let's talk about get some good news that started up on monday. That has even though where mckinney was headed in this direction. They've been moved up to level orange. So a lot of your businesses able to operate at a higher level. Now you bet well that is good. News you know i think Just if not more importantly You know our numbers with regards to The virus and infections this point are actually heading down and and and that enables the orange We're actually we. We actually fall into the orange range and not just They actively governor and and And so it's good that Our cova bid infection rates are heading down our capacity in our Hospitals and so forth are are at reasonable levels and and things like that. So you know it's a real credit. I think to People in lamoure county our community that You know are are doing the right thing and and and and you know. I think there's a a healthy level of vibrancy within our businesses but You know we. We had a strong showing with our level up program that actually allows for the also the them to Provide for in inside the dining and at a reduced capacity but also to put the protections in place that You know that. allows for businesses to offer it at a higher level themselves but also operate safely and and You know i. I'm confident that we can continue to You know bolster our economy at the same time. Being safer as the vaccine is deployed You know more and more. But i think we have a ways to go yet before We're out of the woods. On 'send i really credit the people of lamoure county and fort collins that You know that you know keeping the virus down but also to support our businesses. I think we've done some other things too that have helped our businesses as well including for example in the takeout You know for delivery services are no we've Supported noko nash. As the delivery service that allows our restaurants to actually not pay more for delivery services because it's really Supported and operated by our restaurants In in fort collins in northern colorado so I you know so You know things like that and it's made a difference you know particularly when the margins are so tight and you have to Do some things that Really keeps the door doors open ride and all that good news moving into twenty twenty one. I think everybody needed some of that So now as i is this works and correct me if i'm wrong mayor but now Larimer county just has to stay in the orange range for seven consecutive days and then the members of that level up program we'll be able to operate at fifty percent capacity. Is that correct. That's right i You know. I know that because the level up and level orange and i wasn't sure how long it would take but i do that would allow them to Move to the yellow if they met certain conditions. So i think that's I again another indicator that you know keeping the virus down but also supporting our businesses so that they can stay open. Has that that dial. Dashboard been is confusing to you. As it has been to a lot of other people it seems like There's adding something new and new variable every single day. Well that's true. No it's been following by literally every day since The dashboard came out. And and you know it does with that new level indicator. That didn't quite always make sense. And but i think You know. I think it's a pretty amazing. How when listening to tom gonzales. Our county public health director Interpret the data so forth He could mean he's usually pretty spot on to know if we're going to be headed up or head down and and what we need to be doing and so you know. I think it's been an effective way of of indicating You know where Where the viruses and in our community along with some of the other things that are going on the The the wastewater testing and some things that you know we can identify hotspots and then do the contact tracing and and do the other things that really helped Localize and isolate and so that we can still operate at a at a at a level where You know our businesses can continue to operate. We're talking with fort collins mayor wade trucks here talking about this. This dial dashboard and You know the the local the local health officials play a big role in this and like you mentioned gonzalez and being able to have that that fluid conversation. That has to be a big help. It is you know. I think we've had a good relationship. The very transparent we meet. I talked weekly at least and and also try to help inform decisions that might be coming also It's it's been a month or so but also have a conversations with the governor and But you know. I think I honestly believe that l. trying to do the right thing in the balance of everything health and they are konami and and You know really Making sure you know and then with education and other sorts of things that You know it's there's a lot of balancing going on right now and so having those conversations are important right. And that's actually where i wanted to kind of go next with the education side of things so booder school district will be moving back to in person learning Starting starting up this semester. How do you. How do you feel about that. Do you feel confident that the.

"Evidence but they have it whether you like it or not and and for a lot of people in northern colorado. I know it especially well county. They don't like it. But whether you like it or not. Joe biden will become the next president of the united states of america. It seems like president. Trump has reflected on this and he's a very smart man he is and he came out today and said he is ready to move forward with a peaceful transition. I think it caught some people off guard yesterday but should it of should it have caught us off guard when it was. They called themselves. This storm should that have caught us off guard. There's a lot of blame to be placed everywhere. The majority of the blame goes on the morons. Who made america look disgraceful. Yesterday with those acts that is the majority of the blame but this is not a. This is not a party line problem. This is an american political spectrum. Problem this is an american politics. Problem being consistent is the most important part of how we go forward so when we say yes. And i said this in june july. The black lives matter. Riots should never have happened to those people should have been in jail. The national guard should have been there earlier. There should have been more a there. Should have been a more of an aggressive approach. Said that back in june and july for the riots not the protest the protests. I'm all for all four. I say the same now. I felt like there should have been a stronger Approach yesterday. I feel like there should have been Those riders who broke in should be in jail. I don't have a problem with the protest if they if there is that those people truly believe that something went wrong with this election. Then they need to go and express it. They've got that right. That's that's part of. What makes america great but now we look forward we move forward into twenty twenty one one of the things that got cast kind of the side. Yesterday the democrats did something that nobody thought they were going to do. They flipped the senate. So now the senate the house and the presidency all blue and you have to look as a republican party and as an american you have to look and say how did we get here. How did this happen in the learn and adjust and comeback. So we will. We'll find out we'll find out what's next. But at least for the next two years all phases of government. The government will be blue. And that's gonna give. Joe biden the ability to enact his policies. So that's kind of my overall view on this. I'm not gonna keep dwelling on this. I think this is something we learn from. Move forward from but you can't sit here and dwell on it. It was a bunch of morons who broke into the us capital and made america look bad. That's the dumbed down version of what happened yesterday. And now you won't hear that and this will be obviously on your new cycle whether you're watching. Cnn or fox news this is going to be on this new cycle for a long time to come but it is what it is and we move forward and we move on ten thirty time.

Huskies when it comes to the chance of sanctions season. A lot of them will be playing over in fort collins for the impalas So that'll be a fun on the stream is now available. If you wanna watch that game instead of just listen listening to it. You can check it out on thirteen ten. Kfi dot com. That will be the best way to get to it. And you'll be able to to see if you wanna watch the game clark. Johnson will be on the call. Tomorrow at six o'clock with the pre-game show six thirty on the tip off for that one So yesterday i've talked about it. I the the people who broke into the us capital Should all be in jail. And in fact i believe last check who was forty four Forty four people who have been arrested and Ford ed a bunch okay. Fifty two arrested now wanted to get us as of thirty eight minutes ago Fifty two or fifty two arrested four dead. Fbi seeking information on some of the. How moronic do they have to be first of all to do what they did. But then you get in there and just you start taking selby's on on the speaker of the house desks like you're carrying out podiums. Those are going to be used against you. So that's a bunch of morons the way that it is. I mentioned it. Our poll question are you okay. With how president. Trump responded to the situation yesterday so far. It's kind of been split. I tend to and say no no not really i'm not I feel that it should come out stronger and what he was saying. It shouldn't have been prerecorded thing. It was less of a less than presidential manner in which he addressed it his message when it came out i get where he was going with it. And don't blame him for that but Fell like there was a better course of action. That should have been taken and and and it's going to. It's going to impact him. It's going to impact his legacy. The thing that i'm i may have more issues with yesterday than how he addressed. The rioters is how he addressed vice president. Pence vice president pence has been by his side for the last four years and look president. Trump has a been hasn't received a fair shake from the media at all throughout his his tenure as president but vice president pence stood by aside. Then they did a lot of good in the last four years with the foreign trade with the economy in the states. They had what i would deem as a successful presidency lost the election but for president trump to go after vice president pence. I don't understand it then again. That tweet that went out there. Mike pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution. Giving states chance to certify correct that set of facts not the fraudulent or incorrect or inaccurate ones which they were asked previously certify. Usa demands the truth. I'd never thought this day would come where i would be talking about this With with president trump is this is the man that i voted for twice. And i know that that's something you normally don't put out there but it is and i just disagree with what went down yesterday. And how he went about it especially with vice president pence so his message a little. I came around on that. I understood why he said what he said in that video. Wish it would have been live where she would ford but we are. We are fooling ourselves if we think that the only people that this falls on our is president trump and the republicans and this is not me pointing fingers back and forth but it's both parties and it's become the way that we talk to each other and the way that we converse and the way that we argue in the way that we debate. Because if you don't agree with me. I hate you and you are a communist agree with me all of a sudden you hate me and i'm a racist that's been dialogue and it's been an unhealthy one. When nancy pelosi tore up the state of the union address speech that did just as much damage. this is. You're you're just completely wrong if you believe that. This is just from one thing. This has been boiling. And it's hard to talk about. It's it's a sensitive topic but right now people out. There are justifying the actions of those riders yesterday because of what we saw over the summer with. The black lives matter. Riots and i get that it's it's completely. It's two separate things in terms of what they were. Rioting four i get that. So let's set that aside but when you look at just a riots and how it was condoned by the left when the black lives matter. Movement was writing when kenosha wisconsin was set on fire and set on fire because of what our court of law proved that the officer was acting in self defense. So wisconsin can get burnt down with little to no ramifications. Okay guess what. That's now the precedent. That's the president going forward. If you don't like something burn it down and they were leaders that that would not come out and say this has to stop. They would come out later on eventually and say okay. Yeah that that was not a good look but during that time they will not step out and say this is what's going on and so it was a. It's a bad look on everybody. It made our elected leaders. Look like they did not have any control the matter and in some ways they didn't. But where do we go from here. How does the dialogue change. How do we learn from this because already listening to Different members of congress speak. The left is already pointing the finger and say and this is this president. Trump's fault he should be thrown in jail that dialogue that rhetoric is not going to fix anything it's not as for the the the republicans and the conservatives. The election is over. There was not it. There would have been proof by now by any any one of these judges would have taken this case in gone with it if there is any any bit of.

Today we're looking into what it's like being a native veterinarian. Some vets work with house. Pets like dogs. Cats birds bets also work with livestock. And they're also in an important part of reducing outta control cat in dog populations in and around native communities our guests on the show today. We'll tell you there's a need for more native veterinarians and technicians and we'll hear more from them about their passion to serve their native communities by working with animals.

Wildfires Jeopardize Access To Drinking Water
"In many Western states, drinking water supply start high up in the mountains as reverse. This summer's record-breaking wildfires have reduced some headwaters, forest burn trees and heaps of Ash as Luke Runyan from member. Station K. U..

If there's too much sediment or a pays says utility workers can turn off the treatment plants intake and switch to water from a large reservoir it became really important for us. To have a heads up for win those changes in water quality were occurring the effects of the burn scar on water quality only lasted a few years but this early warning system is far from obsolete because this year is cameron peak fire has burned another broad sweep of the river's watershed, which means for Collins, again joins the list of western cities learning.

Stimulus checks being sent to dead people, leaving loved ones confused
"In under a month the IRS delivered more than a hundred and thirty million corona virus relief payments to Americans that's two hundred and seven billion dollars that was part of the relief package passed by Congress during the public health crisis but the speed has come with some significant mistakes NPR's Tim mak has been talking to the families of dead Americans who got coronavirus relief checks Bob lemon dues father passed away in December so Bob who lives in Houston notified the V. A. and the Social Security Administration that his father had passed in order to stop payments from them and those were halted but on April fifteenth Bob who is a co signer on his dad's account noticed a payment in the amount of twelve hundred dollars he was a corona virus relief payment from the IRS I feel bad that this money is sitting in my dad's account I don't know what to do with it and there are people out there that need it badly and that bothers me quite a bit I wish I knew what to do with it but I don't treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin said one week ago that any payments to the deceased would be a mistake and should be returned but this is raised more questions than answers this mass confusion that's Jenna holds what of the urban Brookings tax policy center there's been no official guidance as to how in this instance people should return the money that was received for their loved ones the Irish does not typically track information on the deceased in America but other parts of the government such as the social security administration do it appears that there was no cross referencing before checks went out the scope of the problem could be in the millions the CDC estimates that two point eight million Americans died in twenty eighteen for example and there are signs that people who have died more than two years ago are receiving payments Karen McClure of fort Collins Colorado experienced this first hand her mother passed away in January of twenty eighteen but in April of this year she received a payment of twelve hundred dollars the government is being very reactive instead of proactive to this situation which I I find frustrating mark Iverson is the former IRS commissioner serving from two thousand and three to two thousand and seven he told NPR that the IRS has generally been doing a good job but there's a real trade offs of speed versus accuracy in the processing he says the people in this situation should rely on official guidance people need to rely on the information they get from IRS dot gov but that's not so easy when it comes to this topic three so will not the seventy one year old in Rockford Illinois has been trying to do just that she lost her partner of thirty nine years Frank dica just two months ago last month he received the payment I'm coping with Frank stuff pretty well at this point I'm not over it I probably will never be over it but it didn't that part didn't bother me I'm I'm probably angrier at the government for sending out a payment to somebody who's deceased three says been trying without success to find guidance online from the IRS to send the money back so I went online to the address on the letter and looked for a long time trying to find some way that I could first send the payment back and I couldn't find that so look for a way to contact somebody at the IRS or treasury or whatever to return the payment and I couldn't find that NPR did not fare much better than Theresa after multiple requests the IRS directed questions to the treasury department the treasury department pledged to have an answer by Tuesday morning as of the sharing the treasury department has not answered questions about what steps the IRS is taking to address this problem or what to do if a deceased loved one

Fort Collins cuts carbon from city operations by 20%
"Four Collins. Colorado recently celebrated twenty years of Climate Action Over Time. The cities become increasingly ambitious. It's climate action plan now called for the entire community to be carbon neutral by mid century that includes residents and businesses but the city is improving. Its own operations to. We're trying to model all the things that we're trying to ask for across the community. Machel Feachem is the city's sustainability specialist. She says the city is prioritized energy efficiency. We make sure that we're building efficient buildings and we are constantly going back to say h HVAC systems on the pool or the ice rink and remodeling those and making sure that they're efficient. The city is also expanding its use of electric vehicles. Venom says when a car or light duty truck reaches the end of its life it's replaced with an e and what that has a lot to do is very very steadily replace. Our fleet with electric vehicles. Ford Collins has cut carbon pollution from municipal operations by more than twenty percent below two thousand and five levels. The wider community is expected to do the same. This year we're putting policies and plans in place that will make this a better community

Study: Fossil fuels will be necessary in cold winters
"Anew big picture. I tell us what this study in applied energy measured. This is a study that looked at heating transitions from fuels lake fossil fuels, like natural gas and propane to 'electricity with the hope that when they electrically becomes a renewable electricity makes we would decarbonised our heating, and we were able to through the sustainable, healthy cities, network rain together researchers from Columbia University, which, which led the study, my own group from the university of Minnesota, our colleagues from Colorado state university, who provided data about Fort Collins and Florida State University that had. Dade on Tallahassee. So it was a fascinating comparison of full, very different cities to see what, how can we decarbonised heating and cooling? And I looked at some of the numbers in the study, they're quite interesting. What did you find about the optimal energy mix for states like Minnesota to be both climate-friendly and reliable. So this is very interesting. So the study compared moving from heating as I said, which is now by combustion, so we bun, natural gas furnaces, and the hot air is, basically transmitted throughout the house, and that's the predominant way we he doubled ings. And this would switch to a heat bump, which basically takes air from outside and increases temperature and circulates and this. Electrically driven heat pump. We looked at two technologies one as an air source heat, bump rich draws air. The other is. Ground source heat, bump, which taps into your ground temperature with stays about fifty five to sixty degrees Fahrenheit and can be used both for heating in winter and for cooling in summer, and then we said, if we were to move to electrically driven heating and cooling. And if that electricity could be obtained from around us regionally through solar and wind, what is the, the variability of solar, and win that matches the patterns of demand. So it's really how do you match the supply with demand what we found was in our region. The patterns don't match the optimum availability of solar, and wind, just because I mean, even in day to day, you know, we need heat when it's late at night on us and shining. And if you also look at the monthly availability of boat wind and soda, it wasn't as good a match as it was in the other cities. So this is just how the city's demand and the supply of wind and solar. Around, you are weather and climate system works up here. Yeah. So what we found was even the best case you could get about seventy percent penetration of this mix of wind and solar, which for us is more towards wind and less solar. So the numbers were interesting when you combine this twelve hour storage, which will get to in a minute renewable, energy, penetration could reach eighty percent of New York City, seventy percent in Minneapolis, eighty three percent in Tallahassee and sixty nine percent in Fort Collins. So could we say that for your purposes here that means that seventy percent of power through, renewables is a practical, upper limit in Minnesota? So that's what this study is finding if we were to look at just the heating, so heating and cooling. And we also looked at round source heat bumps with thirty six hours of storage for heating and you could go up a little bit to seventy four. Percents. And the study basically says that has a slightly extra higher cost, but ground source heat pump might give you other aspects of reliability. So there's a, you know, we lay out that argument is that technology here today. Yes. Grandmas. Hit bump is here, and there are rebates offered four grandsons. He here's a quote from the study, it says the study found that the use of fossil fuels would still be needed to meet peak demand in cold climates, like Minneapolis and Fort Collins, this is because renewable energy cannot be produced at the rate needed to meet demand during the coldest month. So in that scenario is the rest of that likely natural gas and nuclear power so that these great questions. So it could be natural gas. We could also be thinking cities like Saint Paul and Minneapolis, which already have district energy systems. This could be a wonderful way of thinking about growth in our region. And how to have that growth, be more. Impact so that you can have shed heating and those district energy systems can be flex fuel as you already know. And so they could use biomass, I think waste to energy options would be fantastic, because they
