Rusty Frishmuth opened a metal equipment cabinet in an oil field east of Greeley and waited for the sound.
A few minutes later, a sharp
woosh blew from inside. It was the sound of a pneumatic controller in action.
“Incredibly exciting, right?” joked Frishmuth.

Six months of waiting is finally over for Tony Bohrer and Melody Villard. The two new commissioners, in Districts 1 & 2 respectively, were sworn in Tuesday morning inside the Board of County Commissioner Chambers in front of family, other local elected officials, and a Zoom audience.
Moffat County Court Judge Brittany Schneider presided over the ceremony, swearing in Villard and Bohrer through an oath of office.
Villard previously defeated Chuck Grobe in the June 30 primary election, netting nearly 1,800 votes to replace former District 2 Commissioner Ray Beck, who’s four-year term ended. Bohrer defeated incumbent District 1 Commissioner Don Cook, who didn’t receive enough delegate votes in March to stay on the primary ballot.
