Two thresholds: a region on the verge of drastic growth and an artist beginning his large-scale installation...
On today's show we have conversations with
Benjamin Snow (Department of Economic Health & Housing for Greeley, Colorado)
and Wes Bruce with Lucy Coons (presenting a walk-through of the art installation at LINC)
------------------
This is the second episode of "Where Water Flows Uphill", a special series that is asking, In the coming flood of change, who do we want to be?
Produced by Weld Found, we follow Wes Bruce as he is creating a large-scale, interactive art installation at the LINC (Library and Innovation Center in downtown Greeley, CO). His work in the heart of the LINC is inspired by the 100 acres around the Poudre River called Signature Bluffs.
This show is made possible by the Weld Community Foundation, who encourages us to spread the good.
Special thanks to the High Plains Library District and NOCO Optimist for extra help with production.

Weld Found returns with a new series, “Where Water Flows Uphill”! Look for new episodes in the following weeks (made possible by the Weld Community Foundation weldcommunityfoundation.org)
In today’s show, host of Weld Found, Tim Coons, shares a personal story of belonging. When Tim took a job down in Denver in 2011, he didn’t realize that the physical distance he traversed while commuting would start to create emotional and relational distance between himself and his community here in Weld County. His story is about bridging that gap and rediscovering belonging in a new role closer to home.
Special Thanks to Greeley Creative District and Andy Nagel (audio engineer for Do Tell)

Then, we close things by how we started, with a segment that has spanned season 4 called a tale of two houses. This story that came about as host Tim Coons noticed something very interesting about his neighbors.

We’re addressing mental health and suicide prevention for the show today. We head into the office of Dr. Rich Mahogany (ManTherapy.org) who approaches mental health with grit and humor. We’ll also talk with North Range Behavioral Health’s Suicide Education and Support Services (SESS) program about how we can help prevent suicide through an innovative suicide prevention program called QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer). We’ll then wrap the episode up with a breathing-exercise about hope.

Craig Basarich is a trumpet player who sounds "taps" at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
In this busy month of November, we've experienced an election, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving. So it seemed like the right time to hear from Craig. He shares about his experience in the Army performing this ceremonial duty; the gravity it holds and the space it creates to be thankful for all we have.
