“I believe Mr. Owens did an
announcement Via the web over a
police site,” James said in an email
answering questions drafted by the
News Letter Journal. 2‘Other than
that, there were no advertisements of
any type placed anywhere.”
James also reported that there
are no “stated or written” perceived
qualifications or requirements for
the police chief and that the people
chosen to fill the position will be
done so based on their resume, appli-
cation and interview. .
James told the News Letter Journal
that eight applications were received
by the city and that the council, in
executive session, interviewed four of
those applicants on Sept. 10.
He said that the personnel
committee, consisting of Hespe,
Councilwoman Pam Gualtieri and
Councilman Tom Voss, made the
advertisement decisions. James then
said that the council as a whole deter-
mines the hiring process, depending
on the circumstances surrounding
eaCh position.
“The entire council was involved
in the interviews. This has been the
practice when interviewing depart-
ment heads,” James said, noting that
the rest of the process was handled by
the personnel committee.
As of Sept. 14, James said, the
council appears ready to appoint a
new chief at its next regular meeting,
which is Monday, Sept. 21.

Prior to speech,
Neiman, who introduceW, thanked
the’ participants for voting him in as
the next representative.
“It’s just humbling, at the very
least,” Neiman said. “I will work
diligently and conservatively.”
Neiman met McEwen at a “Fathers
in the Field” event in Colorado,
which is a faith-based organization
that helps single moms and fatherless
boys by pairing them up with father
figures, who mentor them through
outdoor activities and in the love of
Christ. Neiman said McEwen is a

89-year-old artist Dave Paulley
started painting in 1968. His atten-
tion to detail goes beyond his ability
to paint photo-realistic renderings of
aircraft, scenery, or western art. He
studies his subjects in many ways.
A series of paintings based on the
Lewis and Clark expedition of the
19th century allows him to find loca-
tions and individuals where events
happened, then incorporate them into
those paintings. He could tell you
about the history of different fighters
or bombers, and builds scale models
of those planes or jets, then uses them
as models for his realistic, almost
3D-rendered paintings.
Paulley began his studies with
the Famous Artist Course that
person could take by mail, and has
had private study from other artists
from places like Cheyenne, where he
learned how to paint realistic clouds
and the effect of sun or rain on them.
He has also used his wife’s grand-
daughter, Elizabeth, as a model for
the pin-up images that adorn some
of his bombers. He still lives in the

tions of the United States in a clear,
impactfiil manner that makes a person

“He will make you thankful that
you live in this country and proud that
you live in America,” Neiman said.
McEwen opened his speech by dis-
cussing the prosperity and uniqueness
of the United States. He said America
has done something that no one else
in history has done: shed blood for the
freedom of another country and asked
for nothing in return, referring to the
Cold War.
“The purpose of the United States
government is to preserve life,
McEwen 'said. This led him into
his next point that slavery was not
invented in America, as some have
claimed.
McEwen quoted the preamble of
the Declaration of Independence and
said that all men have God-given
‘rights.
“Because God made you, you have
rights,” McEwen said.
He went on to say that on Jan. 1,
1808, Congress outlawed the importa-
tion of slaves and began to “proceed

and prosper.” However, when Andrew
Jackson was elected president, the
fight against slavery lost ground.
Jackson appointed Roger Taney as
chief justice of the Supreme Court,
who resided during the Dred Scott v.
Sanford case, which denied citizen—
ship to African Americans. Later in
his speech, McEwen said, he believes
court decisions across history are what
almost ruined the United States.
During that pre-Civil War era, the
two main political parties were the
DemOCrats and the Whigs, according
as ‘MéEwen,‘-but the Whig Party,‘
Whictfr fought against slavery, col-
lapsed before the Civil War. That’s
when the Republican Party was born
and nominated Abraham Lincoln as its
presidential candidate.
“The purpose of the Republican
Party was to end slavery,” McEwen
said.
The passage of the 13th through 15th
amendments to the U.S. Constitution
granted African Americans citizenship
and the right to vote. McEwen said
that the Republican Party and America
stand for equality, and he’s tired of
“Democrats taking their laundry and
blaming it on America.”
In his third point of the speech,
McEwen discussed the economy
of America. He claimed that under
President Donald Trump, the economy
was thriving after a time of stunted
growth. Simultaneously, he said,
China’s economy and stock market
were going downhill. According to
McEwen, the United States is the
leading country in oil and natural gas
and second in the coal industry.
“That’s what this election is all
about,” McEwen said. “America could
be energy independent if we had a
president who wanted it.”
McEwen said he believes Trump
saved the nation right before “it went
into the abyss” and believes that “we
are on the cusp” of the greatest time of
history in America.
“Those who hate America hate
Trump,” McEwen said. “This man is
changing America for good.”
He concluded his speech with a
discussion of fear. McEwen claimed
that fear is how the German gov-
ernment controlled the Jews during

McEwen then recited 2 Timothy l:7,'.:
which says, “For God hath not given
us the spirit of fear; but of power, and-W
