Bobservation — Loveland icon retires

By on Thursday, December 29th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Loveland Library changing of the guard

After a very long stint as director of the Loveland Library, Ted Schmidt will be retiring March 2 of next year.   Ted has been at the local library for more than three decades.  He will be leaving as the library wraps up its major renovation and expansion.

I am a frequent visitor to the library, and think all the new changes are great.  Ted has always been very forward-thinking. In addtion to running the libary, Ted Schmidt has done a lot in the community.  I first got to know Ted outside the library when I worked for United Way.

I don’t know about anyone else, but my vote goes to Marcia Lewis to be the next director of the Loveland Library.  She has been second in command for many years.

Loveland City Council — another one

By on Monday, August 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

Loveland residents are going to have lots of choice on who governs the Sweetheart City.

I got an email from John Buck, who is running for city council in Loveland.

Here is his email:

Hello,

I am running for city council because I am passionate about local government being accountable to its citizens. It is important to my family that we preserve the wonderful quality of life and strong family values found here in Loveland. The voters of Loveland should be able to trust their city councilmen will stand up for their values. Taxpayers of this city need a watchdog ready to fight wasteful… spending.

My wife and I have lived in Loveland for 6 years now, and we care deeply about this city’s future. Our son was born at Mckee Medical Center, only a few blocks away from our home. After graduating high school in Casper Wyoming, I moved to Colorado to attend CU Denver. While working at Home Depot I have developed a strong passion for real estate and helping people solve home improvement problems. My wife and I currently own several rental properties. On a daily basis here in Loveland I come in contact with hundreds of people in all walks of life.

I am a life long fiscal conservative and believe in a limited roll of government. Local government needs to conduct its business in an open and transparent way. Our hometown newspaper should not have to sue our city to gain access. Elected officials need to have the backbone to stand up to the special interests, and end backroom deals in city hall. City Council should reflect the hard working values of all people in this city.

Loveland voters deserve to be proud of City Council.

Sincerely,
John Buck

Loveland City Council — another one

John Fogle Announces Candidacy for Loveland City Council
John Fogle, a local businessman, announced today that he will seek election in the November 1st Loveland City Council Election as a candidate.  Fogle will be running for the Ward 3 seat currently held by Councilman Kent Solt.

Fogle believes his experience owning, creating and growing four local companies makes him especially qualified to help guide City Council to make sound fiscal decisions and promote job growth in the area. For example, during his 15 year tenure as president at one of the companies, he grew sales 450%, created over 30 new jobs and balanced the company’s budgets every year.

Additionally, Fogle believes that Loveland’s City government should be required to live within its means.  As such, he plans to champion a mandate requiring the City to balance its budget following his election.

Fogle has lived in Loveland for 40 years and is a Loveland High School graduate, a college graduate (BS Computer Networks), and church elder.  He has a wonderful wife and blended family of 7 children.  He believes in Loveland and wants to support and improve the special quality of life we are so blessed to have.
