A special joint meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Utility Advisory Board, the Planning and Zoning Commission and BERT was held on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at Brookside Gardens on State Highway 56 in place of the regular board meeting. About 60 attendees gathered to listen to Mike Masciola, vice president of the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation, and Daniel Kah of Greyhill Advisors, discuss the site selection process for primary employers. What is a primary employer? Masciola defined it as a company having “50 percent of the income that it provides comes from outside of the region.” He noted by bringing in revenue from contracts throughout the state or even across the country, primary employers help support the local economy because employees “buy groceries, cars and clothes and for entertainment and those types of services that are called ‘secondary’.” WINDSOR — Berthoud head football coach Dan McGinn didn’t have much to say in the aftermath of Friday’s Tri-Valley Conference game at Windsor’s H.J. Dudley Field. Whether it was his disappointment in the outcome or disgust in how the game turned out doesn’t really matter. The scoreboard said all he needed to know: Windsor 35, Berthoud 13. Sitting down to a bowl of home-cooked vegetable soup is a simple pleasure, as well as a nutritious one — especially as the weather cools down into fall mode. Here is a fairly easy recipe aimed to please busy cooks and their families. And it only takes about 15 minutes of preparation and an hour of simmering. When paired with a grilled cheese sandwich, this makes a great meal for lunch or supper.
