The honored tradition of the Slick Haley Awards continued with the recognition of four outstanding high school students. The award is given to students who have overcome adversity while still achieving academic success. Dr. Al Carr shared the story of Dr. James “Slick” Haley—an accomplished athlete, physician, and dedicated Rotarian. Known as the “Paonia Peach” for his athletic achievements at CU. During WW II, Slick served three years as an Army surgeon, receiving his nickname for becoming an accomplished surgeon, performing surgeries for a very large Mash-like hospital quickly and effectively. Slick later pursued medicine and became Longmont’s first surgeon. A longtime Rotary member, he was passionate about helping young people succeed. Dr. Carr concluded, “You are receiving this award in the name of a truly outstanding individual—Rotarian, surgeon, and community leader." Congratulations to the following award winners:
Skyline High School: Oliver Glasser
New Meridian High School: Alexis Nowak-Drake
Longmont High School: Eva Portugal
Silver Creek High School: Adrian Brito

ADVICE: Be cautious of unsolicited emails, messages, or requests for personal information or money, especially from unknown sources.
