Boulder
I'm,
Jocelyn,
avendanyum
women's
history
month
is
observed
every
March
and
it's
a
time
to
honor
women
who
have
made
an
impact
in
both
their
past
and
present
join
us
this
month.
As
we
learn
about
important
women
in
Boulders
history.
This
week
we
look
into
Hannah
Barker's
story.
B
Hannah
Barker
is
an
Irish
immigrant,
born
in
1844.
She
initially
made
her
way
to
Springfield
Massachusetts
and
then
later
ended
up
in
Davenport
Iowa,
where
she
somehow
got
credentials
to
teach.
She
made
her
way
to
Colorado
with
her
lifelong
friend
Mary
Davidson,
whose
husband,
William
Davidson,
had
a
profound
effect
on
the
community
as
well,
and
she
met
Ezra
Barker
who
she
ended
up
marrying,
but
he
died
after
only
six
years
of
marriage.
B
He
had
a
lot
of
real
estate
holdings
and
what
was
fascinating
about
Hannah,
even
though
she
was
well
provided
for
she
did
not
sit
and
rest.
Instead,
she
actually
acquired
more
land
Holdings.
We
could
find
her
name
on
more
than
a
thousand
transactions
of
real
estate
in
Boulder
County,
including
Barker
Meadow,
where
we
are
today.
What's
wonderful.
Is
that
this
damn
and
Reservoir
still
Bears
the
Barker's
name?
What
was
amazing
about
Hannah
is
how
philanthropic
she
was
to
the
community.
She
was
very
involved
and
donated
to
Colorado
Chautauqua.
B
She
was
very
instrumental
in
the
first
reading
room
here
in
Boulder
and
then
actually
gave
money
to
help
fund
the
first
library
that
Carnegie
Library
here
in
Boulder.
He
was
actually
one
of
Boulder's
earliest
and
most
prolific
business
women
without
seeking
any
sort
of
fanfare
or
any
sort
of
notice
for
her
gifts
to
the
community.
It's
what
she
did
behind
the
scenes
and
like
so
many
women,
their
history
is
not
told
because
they
kind
of
quietly
made
these
Myriad
differences
in
the
communities
they
live.
B
For
example,
when
World
War
One
started,
she
was
involved
with
the
starting
of
the
boulder
day
nursery
and
actually
donated
a
parcel
of
land
right
adjacent
to
it.
That
is
Barker
Park
in
the
heart
of
downtown
Boulder
Hannah
in
her
own
right
made
such
a
difference
in
this
community,
primarily
in
things
like
reading
the
literary
Society
the
fortnightly
club
contribution
she
made
to
the
University
of
Colorado
and
just
standing
on
her
own
as
a
businesswoman
is
sort
of
remarkable
and
I
think
because
Ezra
and
Hannah
never
had
their
own
and
children.
C
All
of
our
firefighters
are
put
through
a
baseline
set
of
Wildland
fire
training
that
they
have
to
get
a
red
card
that
allows
them
to
fight
Wildland
fires
and
then
annually.
We
put
them
through
refresher
training,
which
involves
a
physical
component,
a
refresher
on
some
of
our
our
safety
equipment.
And
then
we
create
some
content
and
make
a
bit
of
practice.
Training
make
sure
that
they're
they're
current
and
that
they're
ready
to
fight
fire
as
the
season
approaches.
This.
A
C
Has
to
do
what's
called
the
PAC
test
and
so
they'll
put
on
a
weight
vest
and
they
have
to
walk
three
miles
on
flat
ground
in
under
45
minutes
per
policy.
Every
firefighter
has
to
carry
one
of
these
when
they
go
out
onto
the
fire
line.
It's
a
safety
equipment
so
that,
if
somebody
were
to
find
themselves
in
a
place
where
they're
overrun
by
fire,
they
could
get
into
the
shelter
and
potentially
survive
fire
being
all
around
them.
A
C
Way,
fire
response
goes
for
Wildman.
We
tend
to
require
more
firefighters
for
any
emerging
large
event
and
so
making
sure
that
all
our
firefighters
are
trained
and
ready
to
respond,
really
shortens
that
response
time
and
allows
us
to
have
a
quicker
initial
attack
and
our
intent
is
really
to
keep
smaller
fire
small.
A
Compost,
food
scraps
plants
and
yard
trimmings-
that's
it
when
it
comes
to
the
Region's
new
compost
guidance.
We
spoke
to
senior
sustainability
manager,
Jamie
Harkins,
to
sort
things
out.
The
Region's
Only
large-scale
commercial
compost,
manufacturer
A1
Organics,
is
simplifying
the
materials
they
accept
from
all
communities
along
the
Front
Range.
These
changes
are
in
response
to
contamination
challenges
across
the
region.
If
we
all
do
our
part,
A1
can
continue
to
create
clean
compost
that
can
be
used
to
revive
soils
and
grow
nutritious
local
food.
A
D
That
means
is
that
paper
products
compostable
food
wear
are
the
main
items
that
no
longer
will
be
acceptable
in
the
compost.
Stream
So,
the
city
has
a
lot
of
circular
economy
goals,
and
we
release
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
really
shift
away
from
disposable
culture.
We
are
really
looking
at
the
silver
lining
of
this
problem
and
hoping
that
we
can
really
accelerate
our
path
to
a
reusable
circular
economy.
