🖤Heart Health Tip🖤
MANAGE STRESS 🧘‍♀️

Managing stress is critical for heart health because chronic stress triggers sustained releases of cortisol and adrenaline, which raise heart rate and blood pressure, straining the cardiovascular system. It can cause blood vessels to narrow, increase harmful inflammation, and lead to unhealthy habits like smoking or poor diet, all of which significantly elevate the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and cardiovascular disease.

Learn how to manage stress and prevent serious health problems like heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and depression.

SPOTLIGHT FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH🔦

Alexander Miles (1838-1918)
Alexander Miles invented an elevator design credited with saving lives. Before him, elevators were operated manually; people had to physically open and close the doors of both the elevator and the shaft every time. Miles realized the constant hazard this posed when riding on an elevator with the shaft door open with his daughter. In 1887, he obtained the patent for his invention, including a flexible belt attached to the elevator cage, allowing the doors to function automatically. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007.

❤Heart Health Tip🖤
EAT A HEART-HEALTHY DIET🍎

Eating a heart-healthy diet prevents chronic disease by managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 70%. A nutrient-dense diet—emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats—slows artery plaque formation, boosts energy, and is more effective than medication for preventing cardiac events.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans reset U.S. nutrition policy by restoring science, common sense, and real food as the foundation of national health.

Tamara "Tammy" Antoinette Bartz, a devoted and adventurous soul, passed away on February 10, 2026, at the age of 55. Born on May 23, 1970, Tamara's life was a testament to her hard-working nature and generous spirit.

Residing in Livermore, Colorado, Tammy was known for her humor and zest for life. She was a dedicated mother and grandmother, with family being the cornerstone of her life. She was married to Russ Bartz, and together they built a life centered around love and companionship.

Her personal interests reflected her love for adventure and the great outdoors. Tammy was an excellent cook and had a passion for the water, enjoying activities such as paddle boarding and boating. Her presence brought joy and laughter to those around her, and her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.

Tammy is survived by her husband Russ Bartz, daughters Brittany Margheim, Tori Burback and Jenna Schmidt, grandchildren Avianna Delgado, Avery Evans, Nyle Margheim, Remi Margheim, Alaina Burback, Addyson Burback, and Klara Lucero-Schmidt.

In Memory of
Eugene "Gene" Hitchman, Jr.
December 11, 1933 - February 9, 2026

Beloved husband and father, Gene Hitchman, passed away peacefully on February 9th, 2026 in Fort Collins, Colorado at the age of 92.

Gene was born on December 11, 1933 in San Jose, California to Eugene Warren Hitchman and Margaret Gertrude Hayes. In 1954, he was enlisted in the Army and served a portion of his tour in Korea, departing the military in 1956 as a Specialist Third Class. Gene graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a degree in Business Administration in 1959. After an on again, off again, on again courtship spanning many years, Gene finally married his high school sweetheart, Ann Blanding, in 1963 at the University Park Methodist Church in Portland, Oregon. They welcomed their only child, Daniel, into the world in 1972.

The phrase "Variety is the spice of life," aptly describes Gene's storied biography. He loved recounting his solo adventures riding a Vespa moto-scooter throughout the UK, Europe, and a number of other foreign countries in the early 1960's. During this devil-may-care-period, he even jumped into competitive amateur racecar driving. Gene had a passion for flying and became a single-engine pilot and then taught aeronautics at a high school and community college, and eventually saved up for his own Cessna Skylane Turboprop. 'Stasis' was never in his vocabulary as he tried his hand at being a high school business teacher, traveling pharmaceutical rep, self-made business owner, and avid gardener and hobbyist. Throughout his life, you couldn't pry a hammer or screwdriver out of his hands as he designed and constructed two houses in Oregon, and remodeled countless others when his family moved to Colorado. In his free time, Gene was happily willing to extend a helping hand or impart more than a few nuggets of advice to his friends and neighbors (jokingly, they would often say whether they wanted it or not).

Gene leaves behind his wife, son, brother David, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Shirley.

Instead of flowers or other gifts, the family asks that donations be made to Gene's favorite charities:

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (https://www.stjude.org)
Doctors Without Borders (https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org)
World Central Kitchen (https://wck.org)
