The Lockwood Foundation, a Pueblo West-based non-profit organization which facilitates adaptive recreation on the mountain trails of Colorado is preparing for a full season of creating opportunity, needs volunteers to make the impossible possible.
One of the most recent events the foundation held was an event for nine riders on the Red Gate Trailhead at Lake Pueblo State Park.
“With our volunteer and community strength, we were able to take (these nine people) out for a pretty exclusive, and ironically inclusive experience,” The Lockwood Foundation founder Jeffrey Lockwood said.
A trio of ordinances that would have hired a new city employee in partnership with a national economic empowerment organization failed Monday during the Pueblo City Council meeting on a 3-3 vote, highlighting the new reality of a six-member city council following the death of Ray Aguilera that could result in stalemates and unpassable ties.
The ordinances would have accepted a grant from the Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, an organization that works with municipal governments to provide financial literacy education the fundamentals of building credit and how to manage bank accounts effectively. The ordinances would have created a new city employee position with benefits for a CFE fellow.
Diaz, originally from South Carolina, started working with shaved ice at the age of 13.
“I worked for one of my history teachers at school, he had a shaved ice truck just like (mine),” Diaz said. “He needed some help, and I was like, ‘I’ll give you a hand.’”
Diaz found a love for the trade early on, working in the shaved ice truck through high school and here and there in college.
After getting married and working in banking for a couple of years, Diaz and his wife Lisa found themselves Colorado residents.
