Longmont’s Schlagel family has farmed sugar beets for four generations under shadow of Rocky Mountains

By Rachel Gabel | The Fence Post Paul Schlagel’s family was one of the many Volga German families who came to Colorado more than a century ago and grew the crop they knew: sugar beets. Their first sugar beet crop in northern Colorado was harvested in 1911. His father purchased the farm from his mother and began farming on the current farm in 1963. Next year will be his 50th crop. The operation also includes Coors barley, corn and alfalfa on all irrigated farm ground. In recent years, he said they have invested a great deal into irrigation and have transitioned from flood irrigation to mostly sprinklers. “It’s made us better farmers,” he said. “That was always, it seems like, a shortcoming to get things irrigated properly and our crop yields have increased substantially since ...

‘If we don’t police ourselves, who will?’: Four accused of violating Loveland city charter

By JOCELYN ROWLEY  | Loveland Reporter-Herald After three hours of discussion, tearful comments from the public and threat of further litigation from a new character in the drama, the Loveland City Council voted on Friday to hire a special prosecutor in the case of four members accused of violating the city charter. “I consider this what we’re doing tonight to be probably the gravest of things that we may be called upon to do, and that’s to police ourselves,” Councilor Troy Krenning said in support of the hire. “And if we don’t police ourselves, who will? And the answer is nobody.” The five councilors present for the unusual weekday special meeting voted unanimously to hire former city of Boulder attorney Kathy Haddock for the job, but did not put an end date or a dollar amount on...
