<p>Written by Colorado teenager, Maya Claridge, who is also the spokesperson for Bullied To Bold, the book is striking a chord with teens and adults alike. "Every parent, teacher, grandparent and adult who interacts with teenagers today should read this book," said a representative for the Anti-bullying Coalition of America. "It depicts a raw and real case of bullying, showing adults how easily it happens without us knowing and how deadly it can be."</p>
<p></p>
<p>Claridge wrote the book to accompany her Bullied to Bold tour and to share more of her story. "I want kids to know that they can overcome being bullied and I want parents to know how to identify the signs," Claridge said.</p>

<p>Have you <strong><em>ever</em></strong> met a dragon or a leprechaun? You can at the Festival of Faerie in Lafayette on Saturday, June 18th. Come and celebrate with the faerie kingdom of LaFete. </p>
<p>Strap on your wings and grab the wee ones, you’re in for a great ride at the 5<sup>th</sup> annual Lafayette Festival of Faerie. This year's questing theme is, Sea a Fae: Find a Treasure; join us once again for flights of imagination, fun, and magic. The parade kicks-off from the parking lot area next to <i>The Post</i> on West Emma Street, at 10am, on Saturday June 18, 2016.</p>
<p>The largest festival in Lafayette of its kind features tons of free activities for the whole family. Parents and children have been delighted in year’s past by the ever-popular quest where children learn/practice drum beats, magic tricks, crafts, and participate in storytelling. Come and re-discover the arts and the art of living! Join us for the costume contests, for both children and adults, because here at the Festival of Faerie we believe dressing up fancy is for everyone. Why should the kids have all the fun? Are you one of those adults whose glad rags include glitter and brightly colored taffeta? Or swords and leather vests? If so, this is your chance to shine!</p>
<p>Don’t have any wings or swords or elfish ears, and still want to get in the fun? Our vendors can set you up. </p>
<p>Not only that, the fabulous Blades of Moria, a community theatrical troupe that performs with live steel at fairs' and festivals throughout the Front Range of Colorado, will return for another great year of storytelling and swordplay.</p>

<p>Also not-to-be missed -- the crowning of the festival queen of LaFete. This year the Fae Queen is a real tail-flipper: Enid the mermaid. She will be crowned in a magical ceremony by last year’s dynamic Fairy Queen, Aislynn. </p>
<p>Events to take place along South Public Road, starting at Festival Plaza (400 South Public Road). </p>

<p>Booked in many schools throughout the metro area, the response from both teachers and students has been overwhelming. A Silver Hills Middle School 6th grade teacher said, "Maya is amazing and the impact she has had on our students was incredible. I want her to come back and speak to the 6th graders every year." Another teacher told us that Maya's presentation was "better than any anti-bullying group we have brought into the school thus far." Students actually break in tears while she is speaking. "Maya opens her presentation with a video that is so real, it choked me up," said one 6th grade student. "Her message is powerful," a school counselor told us.</p>

As many of you know, I am running for Broomfield City Council from Ward 1. We are almost to Election Day, and I would like to say that regardless of the outcome of my first time running for elected office, this has been a wonderful experience and I have greatly enjoyed meeting many people and hearing what they have to say. I am very impressed with the level of commitment that everyone has shown to our hometown of Broomfield.<br />

As many of you know, I am running for Broomfield City Council from Ward 1. We are almost to Election Day, and I would like to say that regardless of the outcome of my first time running for elected office, this has been a wonderful experience and I have greatly enjoyed meeting many people and hearing what they have to say. I am very impressed with the level of commitment that everyone has shown to our hometown of Broomfield.<br />
<br />
<br />
By early October I had “walked” (or in my case, “biked”) all of Ward 1. I was so inspired by the experience that early one morning I wrote a silly poem about it, which, in a sincere effort to lighten the very serious mood of this campaign season, I offer to you here:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A Poem on Door-to-Door Campaigning</b><br />
<br />
I have now finished! I am all done!<br />
Over three thousand houses, all in Ward One!<br />
<br />
Oh, the doorbells I've rung and the dogs I've petted;<br />
All those sweet old ladies -- the nicest I've metted!<br />
<br />
We've had good talks about this and that,<br />
and no one ever said "Hey you, just scat!"<br />
<br />
So I'd like to thank all who listened politely,<br />
And tell you a tidbit I learned, and not lightly:<br />
<br />
The trick to campaigning door-to-door<br />
is knowing when to shut up and not be a bore.<br />
<br />
<i>(with apologies to Mrs. Babb, my AP English teacher at Broomfield High School)</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There is a passage in General Eisenhower’s memoir of the war, Crusade in Europe, in which he noted that the rights and privileges of American citizenship “can be sustained only so long as the citizen accepts his full responsibility for the welfare of the nation.” I firmly believe that this characteristic -- the need to fully participate in the decision-making process -- is crucial to the continued success of this wonderful American “experiment” in democracy.<br />
<br />
Since this may be my last time in the public eye for a while (depending on the outcome of the election), I’d like to say that regardless of who wins, from my heart I would like to thank all the candidates, volunteers, contributors, and especially the voters for their earnest participation in this unique—and sacred—election process that is one of the reasons why America is such a great nation. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!<br />

The scholarships are awarded by the Broomfield LIONS Club from money raised during the Club’s annual golf outing. “We are extremely excited about how the golf outing has been able to assist Broomfield’s brightest students in their pursuit of higher education goals” said Pamela Anderson, president of the Broomfield LIONS Club. Steve Marchi, scholarship awards chairman, said, “Making this selection was really tough. We had so many truly amazing students from which to choose.” This year’s Frank Marchi Scholarship Golf Outing will be held at the Broadlands Golf Course on August 30th.<br />

Dear folks,<br />
<br />
I'm starting a six-week job-search coaching series in Broomfield on April 29th. The program will run for six weeks beginning April 29, 2009 and continuing for the next five Wednesday mornings from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. at the Egg & I in Broomfield. In the coaching sessions, I'll teach participants how to write an attention-grabbing resume, how to research employer needs to create customized cover letters, how to use LinkedIn in a job search, and tons more. I'm a former corporate HR VP and current workplace advisor who's running similar workshops in Boulder and Longmont -- it's because of the requests for a program in Broomfield that I've launched the new series beginning on April 29th. All job-seekers are welcome to join us; between weekly meetings, we'll use a members-only Yahoo!group to continue getting questions answered, wordsmithing cover letters and resumes together, and sharing leads, ideas and encouragement. The cost for the six-week program is $199, and the registration-and-info link is <a href="http://www.asklizryan.com/broomfield.html">http://www.asklizryan.com/broomfield.html</a><br />
