The Colorado Association of Cemeteries will be hosting the 10th Bi-annual Cemetery Skills Competition.
By John Leavitt
The Colorado Association of Cemeteries will be hosting the 10th Bi-annual Cemetery Skills Competition. The event will take place on August 14, 2008 at 10:00 A.M., the location being Evergreen Cemetery, 1005 Hancock Ave., Colorado Springs. The contestants will participate in seven different disciplines which include: Interment excavation, backhoe obstacle course, funeral equipment set-up, trailer backing, power blower, mowing and trimming. Contestants will be judged and awarded on safety, time, and accuracy. Cemeteries from throughout the state will be represented.
We realize the respective news media could make light of this event; however, it is no less meaningful or professional in nature than are the firefighters, paramedics, or protective agencies like events. We would very much appreciate it if you would treat this event as you would any similar event.
Thank you in advance for your support of the Colorado Association of Cemeteries. Cemetery Skills Competition Committee member Tom Van Buskirk can be contacted for more information at 970-350-9385 or 970-371-3763 or

City Manager Penny Culbreth-Graft announced today that she has accepted Fire Chief Manual Navarro's notice to retire, effective October 10, 2008. Navarro was appointed Fire Chief for the City of Colorado Springs in January of 1994. Chief Navarro began his fire service career in the San Francisco Bay area at the age of 19 and achieved the title of Assistant chief while employed by the Oakland Fire Department. When Chief Navarro retires in October he will have completed 42 years of honorable service as a fire fighter. "Chief Navarro has been a leader locally and nationally in public safety and has a track record of professionalism in the fire service that has benefited Colorado Springs," said City Manager Culbreth-Graft.
"The decision to retire is a difficult one; the fire service has been how I have defined myself for these many years. It is most gratifying that I have been able to experience a long, exciting, and fulfilling career. Many friends-co-workers have become an integral part of my everyday life. The fire service has been my other family and will truly be missed," states Navarro.
Under Navarro's leadership the Colorado Springs Fire Department has achieved national recognition for the many programs developed and implemented by the men and women of the CSFD, among them the success of the FireWise |
