Stories
Fort Collins Restorative Justice Services - November 30, 2016 Program
“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
This week Rotarians learn more about an alternative, when CSU Professor and Rotarian Bill Timpson introduces Perrie McMillen and Sue Mateer to discuss restorative justice theory and practice in Fort Collins. Retrubative justice places a primary emphasis on punishment. Restorative justice places a primary emphasis on rehabilitating the offender, the victim, and the community.  
 
Restorative justice theory and programs have emerged over the past 35 years as an increasingly influential world-wide alternative to criminal justice practice.  Fort Collins two Restorative Justice Programs have served more than 2,700 young people, their families and others since 2000.  
 
Perrie A. McMillen has a BA in Communications from the University of Idaho, and has been director of the City of Fort Collins Mediation & Restorative Justice Services for 16 years.  She helped draft the Colorado Restorative Justice Facilitator Standards and Code of Conduct and helped design and implement The RESTORE Program for young people with shoplifting theft offenses.  Perrie has served 4 years on the Colorado State Restorative Justice Council and has presented numerous times at Restorative Justice conferences and events while training RJ volunteers.  She has lived in Fort Collins since 1984, is married and the mother/stepmother of six children ages 13-30.
 
Sue Mateer received her PhD in education from Colorado State University, and has 30 years of experience in law enforcement; 10 years as a school resource officer, and 20 years in restorative practices, mediation, and conflict resolution.  She is a trainer/lecturer interested in trauma recovery, resiliency and mindfulness.  Sue has two children, and travels and volunteers around the world.

Blood Donations in Northern Colorado
Barely past Halloween, and still, ‘ve vant your blood!’ Every 2 seconds someone needs blood. Donated blood saves lives across a broad range of medical situations, including trauma patients, cancer patients, newborns, burn victims and individuals with blood disorders and other diseases. Last week Annette Geiselman introduced businessman and volunteer Dennis Houska, and Rotarian Dr. Rob Marschke, to discuss blood donations in our community.
In northern Colorado, approximately 75% of our blood comes from mobile blood drives hosted in our community rather than donations made on site at the Garth Englund Blood Center at UC Health. According to the American Red Cross, an estimated 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate; however, less than 10% actually do. Lack of convenient donation sites is a primary reason.
Recently our community supported the Garth Englund Blood Center’s purchase of two new mobile blood buses. These busses will be mobilized to host community blood
drives at businesses and community gathering places.
Dennis Houska began sweeping the shop floor at age nine in his father’s shop, and is now the second-generation owner and president of Houska Automotive. He is a
graduate of Colorado State University and is heavily involved in community service, including the National Marrow Donor Program, the Poudre Valley Health System Board
and the PVH Foundation Board. He and his wife Noreen are involved in many nonprofits, and sponsor the annual Houska Challenge, donating an auto to a Project
Self-Sufficiency family. Most recently they hosted the Halloween Blood Drive. Dennisand Noreen have 3 children and 1 grandchild.
Dr. Rob Marschke is a native of Indianapolis and graduated from the University of Wisconsin and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston before completing his residency
at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. He joined the Mayo Clinic staff in Arizona, becoming Chairman of the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, before
serving as the Oncology Research Medical Director of the Poudre Valley Health System. He has authored or co-authored medical journal publications and continues his
professional activities as retired UCHealth medical staff , as an auditor of cancer research clinical trials for the National Cancer Institute and serves on the PVH and MCR
Foundation Board. He is very active in RCFC, and has many personal interests including hiking, fishing wilderness trips and family time. Rob and his wife Diane have
two children.
