What’s it like being part of the Denver music scene?

Denver and Colorado are small, tight knit scenes. It’s always reasonable to assume we’ll run in to folks we know within production, promotion or other artists when we’re playing inside state lines.

We proudly wave the #coloradocountry ag and always tell folks we’re from Arvada. is is where we were raised, where we’re raising our children, and have built our lives here. We couldn’t be prouder to play country music from a place that’s less conventional than others.

What does it mean to be playing at the Arvada Center and opening for Lucero?

We’ve all driven by the Arvada Center a million times, so when the opportunity came up to play there we were elated. It’s home. Any chance to play among our friends and family always feel like a celebration. I’ve been listening to Lucero for more than 20 years, getting to share a stage with them is a huge privilege. We pride ourselves on touching every genre within our lane that we can. As musicians, we make memo-

May conditions are still too cold for many big fruit tomatoes. It will be one of the last to keep producing because of its hardiness, making it a true work-horse winner for production. e avor is very balanced — not too acidic and not too sweet, so it also works for canning, if that’s your thing.

Happy growing (and eating)!

Friend or foe

CONIFER – Rhonda wasn’t saying there was a problem, but she wasn’t saying there wasn’t, either. About ve years ago, Rhonda told deputies, she’d been forced to “cut o ” her friendship with Roxy on account of Roxy being “out of control.” About two months ago, however, Roxy started making friendly overtures toward Rhonda, although she still appeared to be taking a drug-fueled walk on the wild side. Perhaps because of her naturally nurturing nature, or maybe just for old-times’ sake, Rhonda took it upon herself to “help” Roxy back onto the righteous path, but with disappointing results. Not only was Roxy still on drugs, but she’d taken to carrying a knife on her person and associating with a certain bi-wheeled social club of nefarious reputation. Even so, Rhonda continued her redemptive ministry until Roxy called to personally express her ingratitude. “I’m coming after you,” Roxy snarled, “and you won’t be around after I get you.” While Rhonda hoped that was merely Roxy’s indelicate way of saying “thanks anyway,” she gured

JCSO might like a heads-up just in case she “wasn’t around” later on. At Rhonda’s request, o cers con ned their contribution to chronicling her concerns.

Stihl missing CONIFER – A while back, Jack dropped his chainsaw o at Ron’s shop for repair. A while later, Ron lost track of the chainsaw, but assured Jack that it was almost certainly still in the shop someplace or t’other. On the evening of July 14, Jack stopped by Ron’s shop for an update on the missing machine. Ron told Jack that his chainsaw had yet to surface, and Jack left without incident or appliance. Ron called JCSO, telling deputies that Jack had opened a closed gate to access the property, had entered his business after hours without knocking, and had o -handedly mentioned a vehicle parked in Ron’s residential driveway, which Ron interpreted as a threat akin to “I know where you live.” Ron didn’t want to press trespassing charges, but he did want Jack o cially trespassed from the premises and instructed not to contact Ron except through a third party. Jack was so trespassed, so instructed, and so endeth the case.
