Woodland Park can be ‘Destination Art’ | Teller gives back
Many people call Teller County home and have done so for years. I intend no disrespect to anyone who wants to see our county go back to the earlier days when there were less people. Traffic congestion is sometimes an issue and the big question in Teller County has always been, “How do we get…

Local Kindness | Teller gives back
There’s this feeling of nostalgia at times and recently it happened for me after reading the front-page Courier story about Merry Jo Larsen, which was published on March 13. The story shared history of her family, their business – The Cowhand, and a commitment to western heritage. Seth Boster did a great job highlighting Merry…

March in like a lion | Teller gives back
—
by
The phrase, “March in like a lion, out like a lamb” is something you’ve heard before. Some say it is connected to the weather while others believe it is a connection to the stars (constellations). For me, a song comes to mind when the word march begins a sentence. The first line of the song…

Passing the annual test | Teller gives back
—
by
The thought of taking an annual test raises the hair on the back of my neck. It’s like the unrelenting nightmare about not finding the correct room for English class while in college. There’s no way to graduate without the credits. And, how can I pass the test? The annual test for healthcare can also…

by
The title of this column is misleading. Giving Up is something we’ve all thought about doing during rough times. Gosh, throwing the towel in is easier than toughing it out sometimes, but is that the best thing to do? You throw in the towel and then you have to live with the consequences. What if…

Woodland Park’s nightmare before Christmas | Teller gives back
—
by
Blueberries were 99 cents a pint in 1993. The same was true for a quart jar of Hellman’s Mayonnaise and a pound of red delicious apples. If you are old enough to remember, I bet you think about the good ole’ days when you’re making a fruit salad today. Have you wondered what happened? Things…

Don’t stop believin’ | Teller gives back
—
by
Journey wrote a song about a small-town girl living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere. A boy, born and raised in South Detroit, did the same thing. The song doesn’t say where the girl and boy end up, or if they find each other, but they both went “anywhere” to…
