Friday, February 25th - Wal-Mart Workers Say No To Union... Workers at the Wal-Mart Tire and Lube Express in Loveland voted 17-1 against the plan to start a union... If the employees had voted to unionize, it would have been the first Wal-Mart store in the nation to unionize a department, and the second union vote ever to occur at a Wal-Mart store in the United States... Meat-cutters in Texas held a union vote in 2000 after which Wal-Mart then eliminated that job throughout the company, but officials said it had nothing to do with the election... A store in Quebec, Canada is closing after attempts to unionize the workers... Thursday, February 24th - Kastendieck Pleads Guilty To Theft and Embezzlement... Former Park R-3 School District Superintendent, Richard Kastendieck, pled guilty last Friday to two of six charges contained in a 2004 Grand Jury Indictment...

Kastendieck was alleged to have stolen more than $67,000 from Park R-3 District funds, which he reportedly used for numerous trips and personal items unrelated to school business... Kastendieck will likely be sentenced to serve four year and three year prison sentences, to run concurrent, followed by a three year parole... Sentencing is set for Friday, April 8th... Kastendieck was Superintendent of Park R-3 School District, which oversees Estes Park schools, from 1995 to 2003... Full "Snow Moon"... Since the heaviest snow in many areas usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February's full Moon the Full Snow Moon... Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult... The Moon was at it's fullest at 9:54PM local time last night... Wednesday, February 23rd - County Commissioners Announce Board Appointments...
