A Woman’s Job in a Man’s WorldBy Robin BarrettMeet Melissa O’Brien. She owns and operates

“Handy Mom”. Handy Mom is a “handy-man” service owned and operated by a woman and mother who enjoys doing home improvements. Melissa started Handy Mom so she could either help those in need or do the work for them, work alongside them, or just teach someone how things are done.

This service is awesome for women who would rather a woman be in their home, than a man, when they are home alone.

Melissa is from a small town in Iowa but has lived in Colorado for almost 20 years. Melissa says, “I can’t imagine being anywhere else.” She says, “My favorite time of the year in Colorado is spring because everything is new and fresh and the weather is perfect.” She also thinks spring is a good time to get outdoors and enjoy some gardening or landscaping.

Handy Mom was offi cially started in September 2013. Melissa quit her job to be home for her kids but needed something to do while they were at school. She also wanted the fl exibility to be home for her children after school and during the summer and other times off. Melissa really enjoys doing home improvements and says, “I’m really Great at it.” Handy Mom jobs work great with her goals for her children.

Handy Mom services Mead, Longmont and the Carbon Valley area including Erie. Other areas are considered. Handy Mom will service anyone, but mostly those people who just need a helping hand around the house. She fi nds most people call her because they do not have the time, the knowledge of how to do the job or the ability to do small tasks on their own.

It’s great to have a “Handy Mom” business that is available to help with those small home improvements. If the job requires more than one day, you will be certain that Melissa is the one that will be back to fi nish the job. Handy Mom is a one-woman business. She

Mead’s Rachel Crow:Carla’s Voice in Rio 2

By Kelly Fordyce MartindaleRio 2 opens April 11 and features the voice of Mead’s

own, Rachel Crow. Most became familiar with Rachel when she competed on the fi rst season of the U.S. version of The X-Factor, a singing competition, where she placed 5th overall. We loved her throughout the show and were disappointed that we found out her roots were in Mead, AFTER the show was nearly over. I’m sure she would have won if all our readers had known and would have been voting!

Let’s support Rachel by going to see Rio 2. My granddaughter and I can hardly wait for the opening.

Rachel and her family will be in town to view the movie together with her grandparents and friends. I am honored to have an appointment with Rachel and will get to spend some getting to know her. There will be a full feature article in May’s issue of the Consumer Report of Mead.

Rachel splits her time in Mead and also in California where she works regularly on many projects and completes her high school requirements at a home school for actors. She attended Mead’s Elementary and Middle schools.

Rachel works with Columbia Records (has one cd out) and has a TV deal with Nickelodeon for her own show.

She's appeared on many TV shows, including BrainSurge, Inside Edition, Big Time Rush, Figure It Out and The Wendy Williams Show.

MEAD MAYOR REPORT

z When you sit down to read this fi ne publication you will note that the Town of Mead has a new Mayor-elect and some new members of the Board of Trustees. As many of you know, I was term limited and therefore was not eligible to compete for the Mayor’s position. I do want to congratulate all the winners on their election and if I can be so bold offer a suggestion. Now that you are elected and have rejoiced in your win it is time to park the “ego”, focus on the future of the best town on the front range and listen to the thoughts and concerns of your other Board members. Collectively you will pool your ideas and come up with the best solution for your constituents.

z I do thank all the Board members that worked with me over the years, the offi ce staff and the public works division. Governing in a town is not a singular effort but the great Board members and professional staffs made the job a lot easier. Thank you again.

z Now to some real information for you. Please remember that the annual Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for April 19 in Founders park and starts promptly at 9 AM. Also the Spring town clean up days are April 25 and 26 and will once again be at the Mead Ponds. And while you are updating your calendars the Special District elections are on May 6. We do have a number of special districts in town including HOAs, sewer and water districts and the Mountain View Fire Protection District. The polling place for the Fire District is at the temporary station 3 which is located in the business park at 14120 North Valley Drive. Yours truly is running for the Fire District Board and would appreciate your vote. If you can’t make the polling place let me know and I will get you a form so you can receive and absentee ballot.

z The renovated town hall is coming along on schedule. Completion is scheduled for July 1 and we are allowing two weeks for the fi nal inspections and clean up of punch list items. I do know the staff and the fi re house are getting anxious to move back into their new quarters. The town hall addition should accommodate the administrative functions of your municipal government for the next fi fteen years. I am also glad to report to you that the renovations are “under budget” and the town will be “debt free” for this project.

z The town has not been idle in terms of infrastructure improvements. We are working with the Downtown Revitalization Committee and have contracted with United Power to complete the lighting for Main Street. This is also a project that will not cost the taxpayers because Mead has accumulated some funds at the electric utility and those will be used for the completion. Outdoor activities are also important and the town Board has directed the park planner and staff to work on the completion of the neighborhood park in the Liberty Ranch subdivision and the construction of a new basketball court at the park in the Margill II.

z As the weather improves I urge you to watch out for the children that might chase that ball into the street. I also want to thank everyone in Mead for the opportunity to serve you to the best of my ability and your confi dence in living, working, playing and raising a family in the best town in the State of Colorado. Please keep the men and women protecting our freedom in your prayers. Semper Fi !

May Elections & April Election ResultsMacomber for Board Member for Mountain View Fire Protection District

My name is Richard Macomber and I am requesting your vote for me to become a member of the Mountain View Fire Protection District Board. I have served as a volunteer fi reman, EMT and fi rst responder for thirty-two years, ten of which were with Mountain View Fire District. During my active fi re service days I worked side by side with the professional men, women and offi cers of the fi re district. I respect them for what they do every day and I understand from fi rst hand experience the job, the stresses, the concerns, the need for training and the proper equipment. My position on the Mountain View Fire Protection District would be to assist the leadership of that fi ne organization in the continued development and strategy to deliver the best service to the constituents and those travelling through the district in terms of fi re, emergency medical and fi re prevention services. I do have a degree in accounting and a masters degree in fi nance and will quickly understand the fi nances that need to keep the district moving forward. The election for the district is on May 6 and you may vote at any Mountain View Fire House. The temporary fi re house in Mead is located at 14120 North Valley Drive in the business park. If you can’t make the polls on that date, please give me a call (970-301-0716) and I will get you a form to request an absentee ballot. Thank you and I sincerely request your vote.

Here’s what some of her customers have said about Handy Mom:

“Handy Mom helped me complete my tile project in my bathroom. She taught me how to replace the toilet and led me through all the steps for tiling. The bathroom looks great and I could not have done it without her!”

“Handy Mom saved my butt today. Water was leaking into the master bath straight from the vent during the big storm. Handy Mom was here in 5 minutes of my call with sealant. The water is stopped and more serious damage avoided!!!”

Melissa truly enjoys sharing the excitement with a customer after they see the results of a fresh

coat of paint and how it can change the whole feeling of their house. A little bit of change is good once in awhile! She also loves that she can be out and about doing jobs and being physically active. She says, “For me, it’s better than sitting behind a desk any day.”

Outside of her business, Melissa loves to play with her kids. They enjoy boating, swinging, digging in the sand, Frisbee and playing Chuck-it with their German Sheppard. She also has interests in photography, wildlife, and all types of home improvements.
