<p align="center">Highly Effective Lawn Care System for the Eco-Conscious Consumer<br/><br/></p>
<p>In celebration of Earth Month, Organo-Lawn is proud to re-introduce One Earth Weed Control and Fertilizer, a 100% organic post-emergent weed control and fertilizer application that will kill most broadleaf weeds within 48 hours. This exclusive new-and-improved formulation was created by and available in Colorado exclusively through Organo-Lawn. The revolutionary product is currently in the works of being licensed by Organo-Lawn to other organic lawn care companies across the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> “We first introduced One Earth five years ago and it took three years of tweaking the formula to get it completely dialed in,” said Brad Wolfe, founder and CEO of Organo-Lawn. “One Earth Weed Control and Fertilizer is 100% organic and kills weeds in a lawn after they have germinated, and won’t damage the grass. Anybody that deals with organic products knows how hard it is to kill weeds but not damage the grass. We can do it and it happens fast.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The product is a mix of ingredients that are all food grade. The main ingredients include clove oil, a special form of iron and an organic fertilizer similar to a Compost Tea. One Earth Weed Control is considered edible and is non-toxic to pets, people, and the planet. Within 48 hours of an application the weeds will turn black and die. One Earth Weed Control works exceptionally well on Colorado’s prodigious dandelions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Here at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, we use Organo-Lawn’s One Earth Weed Control product because it’s effective and most importantly, it’s non-toxic to pets, dogs, cats, and people!” said Rick Bettger, Facilities Manager.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clove leaf oil and iron-based weed controls have traditionally been used as a non-selective weed and grass application, killing anything in its path. During the first few years of working with these products Organo-Lawn determined that if the application was too heavily it would kill both weeds and grass, and if too light it was completely ineffective. Organo-Lawn knew how to add additional ingredients to make the products more potent to weeds but less damaging to grasses. After a few years of adding different surfactants (wetting agents) Organo-Lawn discovered which additional ingredients made the product most effective. Now the formulation is consistent in all conditions-warm and cool temperatures, drought and moisture, etc. Finally, Organo-Lawn tested around 60 different nozzles to find out which pattern of mist was most effective for application. The result is the first highly effective 100% organic weed killer offered to consumers in Colorado.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One Earth Weed Control is incredibly effective in controlling dandelions, thistle and plantain and should be applied early in the spring growing season for best results. The company sees control rates up to 90%+ when lawns are treated in late April or May. The new application is available exclusively through Boulder based Organo-Lawn.

<p></p>
<p><b><u>About Organo-Lawn</u></b></p>
<p>Boulder-based Organo-Lawn was founded in 1997 by Brad Wolfe whose goal was to create an alternative to conventional, chemical-based lawn care companies by using products that are both environmentally and people friendly. Organo-Lawn’s proprietary lawn-care products include the 100% organic pre-emergent weed control called Synergy and 100% organic fertilizer called Pax Terra Plus (fertilizer) which are specifically designed to work with Colorado’s soil conditions. The company provides both 100% organic lawn care programs as well as combination packages such as their “Smarter Weed Control” program which allows the homeowner to spot treat voracious weeds with a limited exposure to synthetic pesticides. Organo-Lawn services the following communities: Arvada, Berthoud, Boulder, Broomfield, Erie, Firestone, Fort Collins, Frederick, Golden, Lafayette, Laporte, Longmont, Louisville, Loveland, Lyons, Mead, Niwot, Superior, Wellington, Westminster, and Windsor. Organo-Lawn’s green commitment extends past the lawn service: Sixteen Organo-Lawn service trucks are fueled with B100 biodiesel; the office and shop are powered by 100% wind or solar energy; all service technicians are outfitted with 100% organic cotton shirts; and every year Organo-Lawn plants at least four new trees at their office to reduce their overall carbon footprint. </p> 2nd ANNUAL SPECIAL NEEDS PAGEANT IN COLORADOtag:www.mytowncolorado.com,2014-07-06:2021996:Topic:1577712014-07-06T20:29:23.608ZBeth Moseshttps://www.mytowncolorado.com/profile/BethMoses

<p> </p>
<p>Faustson Tool (<a href="http://www.faustson.com/">www.faustson.com</a>), a worldwide leader in five-axis manufacturing technology, was recently honored by the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (<a href="../../../../../Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/OLK3D/www.jeffco.org">www.jeffco.org</a>) at the 20<sup>th</sup> Annual Industry Appreciation Awards Breakfast. At the March 21<sup>st</sup> event, held at the Arvada Center for Arts & Humanities, Jeffco EDC presented Faustson with a Business Recognition Award for the company’s growth in primary employment and capital investment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Receiving an award like this requires the right combination of management, stellar employees, and the latest and greatest equipment, and I feel as though we have all of those elements in place,” said Faustson Director of Operations Heidi Hostetter. “We continue to take pride in our tenacity and commitment to remain pioneers in the precision manufacturing and machining industry here in Colorado. Watch what we plan to unveil in 2013!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Faustson Tool was nominated for the award by the Colorado Association of Manufacturing and Technology, and was recognized based on the company’s substantial contributions to the community and its reputation for innovation and excellence. In 2012 Faustson Tool increased employment from 15 to 20 highly skilled employees, and added more than $850,000 in capital investment. Other organizations receiving Business Recognition Awards included Adaptive Innovations Corp., the Coleman Company, Datalogix, Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, SourceGas, and Sundyne Corp.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“As we try to encourage job growth and capital investment in Jefferson County, it is important for us to recognize the businesses and individuals who have made significant contributions in these areas over the past year. In Jeffco, we are fortunate to have a healthy mix of innovative and growing businesses. They have earned this recognition,” said Kevin McCasky, President and CEO of Jeffco EDC.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Faustson Tool has been a presence in the community for more than 30 years. Founded in 1981 by Paul and Alicia Svaldi, Faustson began as a small business in an 80-square-foot space, with one milling machine and two employees servicing off-load machine shops. The Svaldi’s keen insight into the future of high-precision manufacturing placed them on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology, where they have been ever since. In the 1980s, Faustson was the first manufacturer to demonstrate the benefits of electric discharge machining technology (EDM), also known as “spark eroding”. In the 1990s Faustson was the first to demonstrate the benefits of five-axis milling and its potential to change the face of manufacturing. Five-axis milling machines have a cutting accuracy of five millionths of an inch, smaller than a strand of hair.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today, Faustson Tool has grown into a 16,000-square-foot facility with more than 20 highly skilled employees, and is owned and operated by Alicia Svaldi. Faustson Tool remains in the vanguard of the manufacturing industry, continuing a tradition of pioneering the newest technology and pushing its limits. Faustson Tool takes on the most challenging applications only a few U.S. companies can handle, using high-end precision machining to do things no one else in the industry thinks can be done. Faustson’s reputation for innovation and determination has earned the company prestigious clientele: Faustson Tool was called upon to manufacture a key component in NASA’s Kepler space telescope, and has worked with Bell Aerospace to produce parts for the U.S. F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter jet.</p>

<p>Denver, Colorado – Outdoor Girl, a Colorado-based manufacturing company, has introduced its first product in the Outdoor Girl Rack System (OGRS) line. The company’s lift assist system for stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) was designed by women paddle enthusiasts who grew tired of struggling to load heavy, unwieldy boards onto a vehicle roof-top carrier. The OGRS’s hydraulic lift assist allows the average woman to easily load and transport her equipment by herself. The board is loaded at waist level, then hydraulics aid in lifting it up onto the vehicle’s roof.<a target="_self" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/3SVEUF14atgSAf9v3790MhHiuga4Ky*7TysKgVOFYywX85JrZtzhYmoYBuNyD7WPTt5LNUV4Xh3xxd5D0VJvsfQmVYT5iRek/BothPositions.jpg"><img width="350" class="align-right" src="http://api.ning.com:80/files/3SVEUF14atgSAf9v3790MhHiuga4Ky*7TysKgVOFYywX85JrZtzhYmoYBuNyD7WPTt5LNUV4Xh3xxd5D0VJvsfQmVYT5iRek/BothPositions.jpg?width=350" width="350"/></a></p>

<p>Two gals, two paddle boards, two cars, zero racks and two fast-paced lives. Outdoor Girl is the brainchild of two busy single women who are executives and moms, Alicia Svaldi and Heidi Hostetter, who bought paddleboards during the summer of 2012. They fell in love with the sport, and started spending more and more time on the water. They also discovered the trials and tribulations that come with transporting large, awkward equipment like paddleboards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Outdoor Girl Rack System idea was born on a lake, while paddling away while discussing business and families. What if women could transport their gear more easily? How much more quickly would the sport of stand-up paddle boarding grow, and how much healthier would society be? The Outdoor Girl Rack System empowers users to get out there and live their adventure.</p>

<p>This first product in the Outdoor Girl Rack System is a lightweight aluminum mechanism designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at the company’s Arvada, Colorado facility to load and carry stand-up paddleboards. It features a hydraulic assist unit to make loading and unloading a board onto or off of a vehicle rooftop rack system safe, fast, easy, and convenient. Adapters are available to fit the product to any brand-name rooftop vehicle rack.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is the first in the Outdoor Girl Rack System not only because of the founders’ interest in paddleboarding, but also because SUP is currently one of the fastest growing activities in the nation. Future OG products will accommodate kayaks and canoes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Outdoor Girl was recently granted a provisional patent for its product, and will be exhibiting at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City this week. The Outdoor Girl Rack System is coming to vehicle roofs and shorelines near you in the summer of 2013.</p>
