Among those states which actually have four seasons, Colorado enjoys the best and longest season for outdoor living. When I lived here in my childhood, I recall that the Denver Post had “Climate Capital of the World” as its page one slogan. Denver’s climate was what drove me to return to Coloradoasanadult.Westillenjoy a year-round climate which is least impacted by climate change, with fewer or no hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, and other natural disasters.
home with a fully tricked-out backyard, and I know my buyers do too. It’s a definitesellingpointandsetsanyhome apart from its competition.
So, it makes sense that Coloradans want to do more outdoor living. I’m finding more and more homes with outdoor kitchens and living spaces, and these are big selling points for any single-family listing.
Above right is a graphic from a 2023 article by the International Casual Furnishings Association which carried the following headline: “In 2023, Americans Will Spend Their Money on Lighting, Rugs, Umbrellas and Other Accessories to Spruce Up Their Backyards, Decks and Patios.”
I must say that I light up when I see a
The article was based on a survey which showed increased interest in backyard amenities by American homeowners. The statistics are in the graphic. In the article reporting on the survey, it was stated that “After two years of pandemic living that motivated many residents to invest in improving the spaces around their homes, there is significant interest in continuing to upgrade their outdoor living setting.” Their website, icfanet.org/news/2023_trend_report, promotes various products to enhance outdoor living, including outdoor bars, a canopied daybed, umbrellas, rugs, swivel rockers, artwork, pottery, pillows and more.
As I write this, there are 67 active REcolorado listings within 20 miles of downtown Denver which include an outdoor kitchen in their public remarks. There are 35 more beyond that 20-mile radius. Send me an email at the address below if you’d like me to share those
The now-famous NAR Settlement of March 15th is now 2½ months in the past long enough for multiple people and “experts” to weigh in on how the practice of real estate will change.
I have attended several events which were touted as answering that question but literally did nothing of the kind. I believe that I have a better understanding of how it will all change as the implementation date of August 17th approaches.
Until then, nothing at all is changing. I just listed a couple homes which will advertise a co-op (buyer’s agent) commission of 2.5%, which is rather typical. There are still listings on the MLS showing 2.8% co-op commissions, and some showing 2.0% co-op, but all of us realize that it’s important to offer a coop if we want our listings to sell.
After Aug. 17th, it will be strictly forbidden for the MLS and websites which get their listings from the MLS Zillow, and every brokerage website, including our own to even hint at a co-op commission. The penalty for doing so is loss of MLS access, which is a career-ending penalty.
Most people think that buyers and agents will have to call each listing agent before showing a home to find out if a co-op is being offered and what the
listings with you, and I’d be happy to arrange a showing. Even if you don’t buy one of those listings, it could give you ideas as to how you might improve your own outdoor living space.
We live in the best place on planet Earth in my opinion, and we want to live life to the fullest, right? Why limit ourselves to wonderful indoor living spaces, when we can also enjoy the the great environment that is outside our walls?
My broker associates and I are here to help you in any way that suits you.
The research for the above chart was conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of the American Home Furnishings Alliance and International Casual Furnishings Association among 1,000 nationally representative U.S. adults ages 18 and older between January 27-31, 2023.
We are seeing a notable shift in the residential market, particularly within the attached property sector. This has been influenced by several key factors that have emerged in recent months.
:
¨ Active inventory has risen significantly, with a 31% increase in units for sale. New listings also saw a 14% uptick.
percentage or dollar amount will be. I watched one video presentation by a local brokerage which suggested that the amount of co-op could vary depending on the listing agent’s opinion of the professionalism of the buyer’s agent, offering 1% to one agent but 2% to another a terrible, likely illegal idea.
Not one person I read or listened to mentioned the printed brochure for a listing. It can easily state in print if a coop commission is offered and what the percentage or dollar amount is. This is no different than those for-sale-byowner listings which say “Co-op Paid.”
My practice will be to write listing agreements with 2.5 to 2.8 percent commissions, but with an additional provision authorizing me to promote on brochures, in this ad, and on listing websites (not connected to the MLS) a 2.0 to 2.8 percent co-op commission. I’m sure any seller will agree to that provision, because failure to do so would mean far fewer showings and offers.
Next Tuesday the Colorado Real Estate Commission will be presented by their Forms Committee with some minor changes to the purchase contract and listing contracts (for both buyers and sellers). I will attend that meeting and write about those changes the following week.
Underwriters are increasingly scrutinizing the financial health of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) due to new lending guidelines. This has led to a rise in HOA dues and special assessments, largely driven by significant increases in master insurance policy costs. For example, some sellers have experienced HOA dues rising from around $300 to over $800. In another instance, an HOA is planning a special assessment of $3,600 annually for the next five years to stabilize their finances. Additionally, many condo communities have let their FHA approvals lapse, complicating the purchase process for first-time and lower entry buyers.
Lenders are also wary of mixed-use commercial/condo communities, viewing the financial burden placed on commercial spaces as a riskier proposition. Consequently, we are seeing a marked shift from condos to single-family detached units. Buyers who might have considered a $500,000 condo with a $1,000 monthly HOA bill are finding better value in singlefamily homes priced around $700,000, offering a more sound investment.
¨ Demand, as measured by pending transactions, decreased by 6.6%, although closed transactions increased by 14% month-over-month.
¨ Months of inventory increased to 2.5 months, reflecting a lagging indicator based on March's contracts.
¨ Attached residential home prices have dropped from last month due to rising inventory and decreased demand. However, prices are still up 1.1% to 2.5% compared to last year.
¨ While multiple offers are less frequent and less intense compared to 20202022, March saw 28.8% of attached units selling over asking price, with an average overage of 2.0%. Many of these homes included concessions to buy down interest rates.
¨ The average days on market decreased to 35 days, with the median days on market dropping to 12 days.
¨ 41.9% of homes were under contract within 7 days, up 3.6% from last month. Homes under contract within this timeframe received an average of 100.5% of their original list price.

According to the state demographer, Colorado now has more citizens over the age of 65 than teenagers. Today, seniors represent the fastest-growing segment of our population, and by 2035, one out of every ve Colorado residents—or an estimated 1.3 million people—will be aged 65 or higher. In Adams County alone, our senior population is expected to jump from 62,000 today to nearly 83,000 by the end of this decade.
So why does this matter? To begin with, more than half of Colorado currently lives in a homeowner association. And despite signi cant housing measures and land use reforms passed by this year’s legislature, including allowing accessory dwelling units that help seniors age in place or downsize, our legislators haven’t done enough to ensure that vulner-
One of the rst questions many of my clients ask is whether they need a trust. It’s a great question, but it leads to another: What do you want your estate plan to accomplish? First I will explain what trusts are and how they work. en I will look at the bene ts of a trust based plan so you will have a better idea of whether a trust is right for you and your family.
ere are many di erent types of trusts and they can accomplish a wide range of goals. However, when most people think about trusts, the one they have in mind is a Revocable or Living Trust.
able populations - like seniors living on xed incomesare protected from predatory foreclosure practices by HOAs. Instead, lawmakers decided to half-step, merely restricting foreclosure lings rather than outright banning them. Talk about missing the mark.
Without question, HOAs play an important role in maintaining community standards and help keep home values high. But no one should lose their single largest asset because they lacked the ability to pay after accruing a few thousand dollars in interest-bearing nes over a minor violation like a broken fence or damaged gutter.
SEE HICKS, P11
At Todd Creek Farms, located just outside of Brighton, predatory foreclosures were a constant threat under the previous HOA board. Several years ago, the then-HOA board levied nes on a widowed public school teacher over a broken fence. When the board continued to levy nes that exceeded her capacity to pay due to her xed income, she narrowly avoided losing her home. In another case, an active service
A trust is a separate legal entity that is established by a trust agreement. e grantor is the person who creates and signs the trust agreement. e trust agreement sets forth the rules and guidelines the trustee must follow when managing the assets whether it is during the grantor’s incapacity or upon the death of the grantor.
After signing the trust agreement, the grantor’s assets are funded into the trust. Assets that may be funded into the trust include, but are not limited to, real property, nancial
accounts, motor vehicles and other items. An example of trust funding is recording a deed moving the ownership of a house from the grantor’s name into the name of the trust. After assets are transferred into the name of the trust, the trust technically owns the assets; however the grantor can continue to use them as he or she normally would.
When the trust is created, the grantor names a trustee to manage the assets funded into the name of the trust. Most grantors name themselves as the initial trustee, giving them complete control over the trust’s assets. A successor trustee is also named to take over management of the trust upon the grantor’s incapacity and death.
One of the primary bene ts of a trust is that it enables assets held in the trust to avoid the probate process after the grantor’s death thereby avoiding the costs associated with probating the estate. e grantor
can stipulate when, how, and under what circumstances the successor trustee is authorized to distribute trust assets to bene ciaries. is is particularly important if the beneciaries are not yet mature enough to manage an inheritance on their own, or in situations involving blended families.
Additionally a trust protects the privacy of the grantor (and bene ciaries) because the trust’s provisions are con dential. Once a person’s Last Will and Testament is submitted to the probate process, it is a matter of public record. Anyone can access information about the decedent’s assets, creditors, debts and more.
Trusts can also be used to protect the grantor and the grantor’s family from a stressful and expensive guardianship (day-to-day decisions) proceeding or conservator ( nancial) proceeding if the grantor becomes incapacitated. e probate court treats the appointment of a guardian and the appointment of a conservator as two separate lawsuits, each with their own rules.
As mentioned earlier, there are many di erent types of trusts. If one of your primary goals is to protect as-
sets from long-term care costs, creditors, lawsuits, and other threats, an Irrevocable Trust or an Asset Protection Trust may be a much better option then a Revocable Living Trust. If you have a loved one with special needs, a Special Needs Trust can allow you to create a fund for goods and services not provided by Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income while protecting eligibility for these vital programs. ese are but a few examples of various trusts and what they can accomplish. If you’re still not sure whether you need a trust, we welcome the opportunity to explain your options in detail and, if appropriate in your particular circumstances, design and implement the trust that’s right for you and your family.

member nearly lost his home over covenant violations that accrued while he was deployed overseas in defense of our country. Although state laws protect service members from these sorts of actions, particularly when they’re serving overseas, the previous HOA board didn’t hesitate to pile on the costs and misery for his family. While the board was ultimately unsuccessful in its e orts to forcibly remove these community members, the damage - both nancial and emotional - was signi cant.
e legislature’s inaction on predatory foreclosures is especially disappointing for communities like ours that have voted in new boards to reform our covenants and ban foreclosures. Unfortunately, our association of nearly 370 homes has been e ectively hijacked by less than two dozen homeowners who have blocked covenant reforms, including a permanent ban on foreclosures. And this is why real HOA reform depends on statutory support that only lawmakers can provide.
Most HOAs rely on assessments and nes to function, but our community is unique. We hold incomegenerating assets that bene t everyone, eliminating the need for punitive

Thelma Yvonne Wright December 22, 1933 - May 14, 2024
elma Wright, 90 years old, died peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, May 14 2024. elma is remembered for her many years of service as an obstetrics nurse, as a community activist, and as a hard-working provider for her family.
elma was born to George and elma Kiser on December 22, 1933 in Cedar Rapids IA. She served as a registered nurse for many years. After retiring, elma moved to Brighton, where she was a staple of the community. elma volunteered at Platte Valley Hospital, Berry Patch Farm,

nes in the name of “upholding community character.”
ree years ago, our community voted overwhelmingly to ban foreclosures, allow solar panels, and update or remove over a dozen covenants con icting with the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act (CCIOA). at’s when the trouble— and the death threats—started.
A small faction of residents, including the city attorney for Greenwood Village, have initiated costly lawsuits against the HOA board for its e orts to enact meaningful covenant reforms for our community. ese lawsuits have forced the homeowner association to spend more than $100,000 in legal fees for the right to reform and
ban practices that disproportionately harm seniors.
Our association’s extreme experience underscores why HOA reform is desperately needed. Boards shouldn’t have to endure death threats or absorb massive legal expenses just to keep people in their homes.
It’s high time Governor Polis and the legislature make HOA reform a top priority next session. It’s not just about xing rules; it’s about protecting our growing senior population and preserving the sanctity of homeownership in Colorado.

Lauren Hance will perform her one-woman award-winning comedy show “Holy O” at the 2024 Denver Fringe Festival on June 6, 7 and 9.
“ e Denver Fringe Festival does a fantastic job,” Hance said. “I have a lot of family and friends who live in the Denver area. So, it was a nice combination to be able to take my show to a place where a lot of people that I know can come and see it.”
Director and developer Amelia Peterson described the show as a cross between “Fleabag” and “ e Vagina Monologues.”
“It’s for audiences who are up for something playful, heartwarming, and experimental,” Peterson said.
In “Holy O,” Hance plays Vera in a solo comedy performance in which the audience becomes part of the play directly from their seats. e main character, Vera, contemplates becoming a nun but can’t let go of her vibrators.
“ e onset of rapturous prayers complicates her situation, leading the audience to assume the role of an advice-giving saint,” Hance said.
“As Vera’s story unfolds, it intertwines with choose-your-ownadventure stories that explore the connection of body, spirit and sexuality,” Hance continued. “Along the way, the audience helps Vera make some of the biggest decisions of her life, starting with what shirt to wear.”
Hance was born and raised at the Air Force Academy in Colorado
Springs but now lives in Houston. As a little girl, Hance said she already had the personality to be an entertainer.
“When I was a little girl, my mom would put me in the grocery cart. She said I babbled before I even talked,” Hance said.
Hance said her mother decided she had to do something with her since she was very entertaining and thought she would put her play. So, in elementary school, she joined the school play and YMCA.
“It was the best thing ever. I love it. It was what I wanted to do since I was a little girl,” she said.
Hance studied theater at Abilene Christian University in West Texas and started as an actress. She graduated with a degree in Directing.
“Like many performers, you go out into the world and try to get into act-
ing. When I was in Texas, it was hard to make a complete living as an actor, no matter where you live,” Hance said.
“ ey have a great auxiliary campus in Houston with a good arts and culture program. I also liked many teachers who were interested in lm and all forms of art,” she continued.
Hance also has a master’s degree in theology, arts, and culture from Fuller eological Seminary. She said that “Holy O” was part of her thesis project.
“Now, I take it on the road to di erent festivals,” Hance said.
Hance travels coast to coast, producing, being a playwright and directing theater. She also hosts and produces a podcast, “What is Fringe?”
Hance said Peterson helped her develop and direct “Holy O.” She spent her career working with playwrights and presenting at festivals, such as the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival and the New York International Fringe Festival.
“I’m also working now with Cathy Lam-Patrie, a co-director. She is helping me with some more acting because Amelia has been a part of this show, but my show is self-producing, and she is taking a pause to work on some other projects in Knoxville,” Hance said.
Hance said Cathy Lam-Patrie is an internationally recognized producer from Hong Kong who is devoted to advancing justice-focused work. In 2023, she received the Edinburgh Fringe First Award for “A Funeral for My Friend Who Is Still Alive.”
“Amelia is all groovy about me getting assistance because we’re all in it for the betterment of the piece. We had long conversations about the development process,” Hance said. “We sent me o to do my work with festivals.”
In addition to several other awards, “Holy O” received a “Best of Fringe” award from DC eatre Arts and was described by reviewer Ari Rogers as “a deeply moving, uniquely intimate, and spiritual exploration of sexuality.”
“It was exciting to receive these awards. is is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done artistically because it’s self-produced, and I’m the writer and the performer,” Hance said.
Hance said that on the business side, she does all the work, sending out press releases and learning how to do that process, advertising and getting people to the show.
“It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve done but also one of the best things that I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’ve grown so much, and my ability to believe in myself, who I am and what I can do, and how I can impact the world.”
Hance said she is very relational, and her show is very relational. e audience gets very involved, which excites her.
“I love connecting with people and
creating space for them to feel the experience. It feels good when other people recognize my work and really believe what I’m doing. And it’s nice when other people say they believe in what I’m doing,” Hance said.
“Denver has a vibrant art scene. It’s inspiring to come to a city that supports the arts, and the Fringe Festival is received well. I’m particular about where I go because it costs a lot of time and money to take a show somewhere and the place that is going and want it to be successful within the art scene and the festival,” Hance continued.
Hance’s “Holy O” performances during the Denver Fringe Festival will be at Big Up Studios, 3410 Blake St., Denver, CO 80205.
“Holy O” showtimes are at 8 p.m. ursday, June 6, 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 7, and 5:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at https://denverfringe.org/ shows/holy-o/. For more information about the show, go to theholyoplay.com.
The Denver Fringe Festival
Now in its fth year running, this
year’s Denver Fringe Festival boasts more than 150 performances, including 60 original productions that include theater, dance, circus, comedy, cabaret and more. e four-day festival, which takes place June 6-9, will take place in roughly 20 venues, primarily located in Denver’s RiNo and Five Points, and a satellite location in Aurora.
In addition to “Holy O,” some other highlights include “King Penny Radio,” an improvised 1940’s radio show complete with costumes and old-timey piano music; “Disko Boy,” a family-friendly drag show featuring Hans L’Adida; and “Raw Groove: Life of the Party,” which will take audience members on an Afrofuturistic journey with dance and live musical performances.
“To be able to produce a show and have the right exposure is hard to come by,” said Constance Harris with Raw Groove. “With the network that Denver Fringe has in place with venues and audiences, it cuts out some of the obstacles and allows artists to produce what they want.”
Harris, who is also known by her stage name Connie Love, is partici-
pating in the festival for the rst time this year.
Even more to look forward to this year are additional experiences such as “On e Fringes,” which is a visual art exhibit that will be on display through June 21 at Ironton Distillery in Denver; and Fringe Free-For-All, which will consist of a variety of performances in free-entry venues and street performances.
“We’re really manifesting our goal of making the arts accessible to all,” said Ann Sabbah, executive director of the Denver Fringe Festival, in a press release. “ e elements we’re adding this year allow us to support more independent artists, collaborate within the community and share live performance art with more people. We’re ve years in and the re for Fringe is burning bright.”
e Denver Fringe Festival is known for providing “unjuried, uncensored and unconventional art” to all. ose wanting a more family-friendly experience can attend KidsFringe, which o ers two free shows catered for an audience of kids and families.
with Eagle View every Monday since 2013. She helps set up the lunch program, serve food, run the dishwasher, and interact with seniors at lunch. She also helps with special events such as the spaghetti luncheon and craft fair.
“I was retired and I wanted to do something for the community,” Villalva said. “I love going there and helping the seniors, serving them luncheons, and interacting with them.”
One of the nomination forms for Villalva had a comment from her peers, “She is always there every Monday in the kitchen, always performs her duties e ciently and is
always friendly and willing to help.” West, a retired teacher, started volunteering in 2003 with Eagle View’s pen pal program. e pen pal program started with South Elementary in 1991, with West working with second and fth-graders and high school students to write kind letters to the seniors. She also works with students of various abilities and volunteers to bake cakes for special events.
“It was a total surprise to receive the award. It felt right to volunteer. I was a school teacher helping the little critters write letters. I got into volunteering with my friend Jane Talbot, who was also a school teacher. She passed away,” West said. e volunteer peer who nominated West commented, “West was “extremely caring and a very positive force in her community.”
competitive, these types of certicates will provide students with additional repower to rise above the competition for a job.”
Sordi said Ben Rager was the rst student to receive the SACA Silver Certi cate for Programmable Controllers. Rager prepared for the certi cate exam by going above and beyond studying outside of class and working an additional 40 hours.
It’s a skill in high demand in industrial automation and control systems. Students could apply for jobs as PLC programmers, automation engineers, control systems engineers, industrial maintenance technicians, or manufacturing engineers.
“While Rager has just begun his Aims journey, he is already a standout student,” Sordi said. “Ben is one of the most driven young students we’ve had in our program.
“ e enthusiasm he brings to the
classroom is contagious. What I am most impressed with is his leadership capabilities. He is a natural leader. Because he is so enthusiastic, people readily accept his role as leader, and he does it extremely well.”
Sordi said Rager completed his rst year at Aims this spring and is working towards an Industrial Technology Associate of Applied Science.
“He also attends Colorado Early Colleges for high school and will begin his senior year this fall. Rager comes to Aims with some experience in the electrical eld, as he apprenticed with his father, a master electrician,” Sordi said.
Colorado Early Colleges is a program where high school students starting in 9th grade can take college credit classes so they can graduate with an associate degree or a technical education certi cate or take 60 plus college credits within four years, according to o cials.

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado’s legislative session is over, and for many lawmakers that means the 2024 campaign season has begun.
Seven state Senate and 18 state House primaries will take place June 25. In many districts, whoever wins the primary will also win in November, because the voters there skew heavily toward one party or the other.
Seven incumbents are being challenged in primary contests. Two of the most progressive House Democrats face more moderate opponents, while two GOP state Senators face challenges from their right.
Here’s a look at the contests worth paying close attention to:
Five House incumbents face challengers
Among the 18 primaries for state House, one Republican and four Democratic incumbents face challengers. ose contests re ect the deep ide-
ological di erences in each caucus. And the results of each of the primaries are likely to decide the general election.
e most closely watched House primary will be in House District 6 in Denver, where Rep. Elisabeth Epps, a criminal justice activist who is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and is one of the most liberal members of the legislature, faces attorney Sean Camacho.
e House speaker reprimanded Epps in January for her conduct during a November special session, and she didn’t attend House oor work in person for the rst 45 days of the lawmaking term this year. Epps has the support of many progressives for her work on criminal justice reform and unsuccessful e orts to restrict access to guns, but she also frequently votes against her party.
Camacho is a former Republican who ran unsuccessfully for the seat in 2022, failing to make the primary ballot. He’s been endorsed by a number
Between slews of di erent strokes, roughly 320,000 competitive swimmers across America come up for air unsure of their placings as they compete against other swimmers and themselves.
e athletes can only hope with bated breath that their score is Olympic-worthy when they breach for the nal time. Only about 800 will make it.
Just seven swimmers registered to Colorado clubs emerged victorious, o cially qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis on June 15-23. Two are high schoolers from the Denver metro area.
Douglas County High School’s
Mila Nikanorov and Cherry Creek High School’s Charlotte Wilson headline the group. Both (recently graduated) seniors are rst-team all-state Colorado swimmers and multiple Class 5A state champions. Both also swam club for Highlands Ranch Athletics.
“Ever since I was 13, it was something that I wanted to do. It was a big goal,” Nikanorov, an Ohio State commit, said. “I had smaller goals to keep track of the progress and not make it seem unreachable. I really pride myself in knowing that I stuck with something for at least four years. I got my rst trials cut when I was 17.”
To qualify for the trials, athletes must post a qualifying time standard. e necessary qualifying times to earn a
trip to Indianapolis are at www. usaswimming.org/.
Because of the registry process for the team trials, athletes may have been born in Colorado but are currently training elsewhere, so they won’t be on this list. Here is the list of registered Coloradans who quali ed, according to USA Swimming:
Mila Nikanorov (age 18 from Douglas County); Charlotte Wilkson (age 17 from Cherry Creek); Madi Mintenko (age 16 from Colorado Springs); Joshua Corn (age 19 from Morrison); Gavin Keogh (age 16 from Erie); Ben Sampson (age 21 from Arvada); Morgan Lukinac (age 20 from Boulder).
Nikanorov recently swam the second-fastest time in Colorado history in the 500-meter freestyle at the high school state competition (4:42.49), just missing Olympian
Missy Franklin’s record by 0.77 seconds. Her time is currently the fastest high school time in the 500-meter freestyle in the country this year, and the second-fastest time in state meet history in all classi cations.
Wilson led Cherry Creek to its fourth straight 5A title and is a twotime individual state champion. Her time of 52.90 in the 100-meter backstroke is the third-fastest time in state meet history among all classi cations.
“It was something I had on my goal list for this year,” Wilson, a University of Virginia commit, said. “I had been trying to qualify for a year and a half since the times came out for quali cations because I’ve been super close for a while.” e multi-year commitment to this goal doesn’t stop now.
Both Wilson and Nikanorov are determined to display their best showings in Indy this summer but are relishing the accomplishment of just getting there.
“I’m just going to have fun with it. I’m already there,” Nikanorov said. “I’m just going to enjoy myself with the experience of going to the biggest meet in the country. I’ve been working on mental skills, just keeping myself calm especially knowing I’m going to be competing at such a high level with very fantastic swimmers as well.”
Positive self-talk is a tool swimmers rely on in what is arguably the most mental sport of them all, Nikanorov said.
It can be easy to get into a negative mindset during di cult sets, so utilizing one or two positive afrmations is more powerful than one might think.
feel coming from Colorado helps
“You have to race fast people to go fast times,” she said. “Having that group of fast swimmers in Colorado, especially people doing distance, which is what I do, really helps me. e competitive aspect of racing people in the state has helped me improve. I’ve practiced with some people from other (Colorado) teams which has been challenging but helpful to see what I can do to improve my training.”
Of the 800 at the trials, a max of 52 (26 men and 26 women) can make the Olympic Team.
Even if Wilson and Nikanorov don’t continue their path to Paris this summer, the locals are excited about the learning opportunity, picking the brains of the best swimmers in the nation this summer.
“Swimming is a really big mental game,” Wilson said. “You can be perfectly physically ready to swim super fast, but any mental doubt or mental hiccup is probably the biggest aspect of not falling short of your goals. For me, the biggest thing is being mentally ready and prepared to swim as fast as I can.”
But mental fortitude can only take you so far, especially once you reach the “top of the top of the top”,
as Wilson put it. Team trials can be the best place to learn and soak up skills from the best in the country, whether you make the Olympic cut or not, Wilson said.
e two Division I swimmers both
“I’m just so excited to swim with the greatest ever,” Wilson said. “I think it’s every swimmer’s goal when they’re little: ‘Wow, I want to make the Olympics.’ I’m just so excited to start training in college and to try and push my limits of what I think is possible for myself.”

comes to xing legally awed permits,” Nichols said.
BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUNe Colorado Air Pollution Control Division has missed its EPA deadline to rewrite permits for a Weld County oil and gas complex, and an environmental group says it will sue the federal agency for delaying its takeover of the permits.
e EPA on Jan. 30 said state regulators writing permits for Bonanza Creek Energy hadn’t guaranteed that aring operations would burn o pollutants and prevent air quality
“Colorado is e ectively giving the oil and gas industry a free pass to pollute under illegal permits,” said Jeremy Nichols, a senior advocate at the nonpro t Center for Biological Diversity. “We need the EPA to intervene to ensure public health and the environment comes rst and put an end to Colorado’s dangerous foot-dragging.” e center noti ed the EPA it will le a lawsuit in the delays handling the allegedly awed permits.
e center says the EPA and state regulators have also failed to act quickly enough on other permits, including revisions to permits for the frequently ned Suncor Re nery in Commerce City.
“ ey seem to be at a loss when it
Colorado o cials acknowledged the deadline has passed, but said they are working on it.
“We are evaluating EPA’s concerns detailed in the order so we can respond appropriately,” division spokesperson Leah Schleifer said. Bonanza Creek’s permits are fully enforceable while the issues are worked out, she said. e division does not comment when issues move into litigation, she added.
Environmental advocates who won the January EPA order through petitions say the ruling could impact thousands of other oil and gas permits in Colorado and other states, because Colorado’s recent ozone failures mean far more drillers must get air pollution permits dictating
how they will limit releases of ozonecausing chemicals. e EPA may now consistently order those drilling and processing sites to test the e ectiveness of their aring rather than rely on predictions of how the equipment will work, the advocates said.
e four Bonanza Creek oil and gas wells in question “are de ned under the Clean Air Act as ‘major sources’ of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, which form ground-level ozone, the key ingredient of smog. e wells contribute to dangerous air quality in the Denver Metro-North Front Range area, a nine-county region home to more than 4 million people that has violated ozone health standards for
