Smiles and laughter fill graduation ceremony The laughter outweighed the tears during Fleming High School’s Class of 2013 commencement ceremonies held Sunday, May 19 in the Fleming High School Gym. Eighteen students entered in single-file fashion, faces beaming in anticipation of a moment they’ve worked toward for their entire lives. None knowing what lies ahead, but each taking in the moment.

Tax exemptions for qualifying residents The Colorado Constitution establishes a property tax exemption for senior citizens and disabled veterans. For those who qualify, 50 percent of the first $200,000 in actual value of the primary residence is exempted from property tax. The State of Colorado pays the property taxes on the exempted value. Qualifying seniors are urged to submit applications if they have not yet done so.
