practice,” she said, adding that most health insurance policies do not cover music therapy services. “People don’t even know what it is, and they don’t respect it. Our governor just vetoed a bill that is title protection for music therapists in the state of Colorado.” On May 27, Governor Jared Polis vetoed the Music Therapist Title Protection bill, HB 22-1399, that would have made it a deceptive trade practice, and class 2 misdemeanor, for someone to claim they are a music therapist unless
Denver Water, Colorado’s largest water utility, concluded that corrosion led to a June 14 water main break in Centennial on a residential street near Arapahoe High School. “Corrosive soils were responsible for the break,” said Todd Hartman, a Denver Water spokesperson, in an email June 17. The June 14 break happened sometime before 6:30 a.m. in the 7600 block of South Detroit Street between East Irwin Place and East Jamison Avenue, Hartman said. Large amounts of water flowed down South Detroit Street towards East Dry Creek Road, and much of the water gathered at the southwest corner of the intersection where there are drains. Denver Water was able to isolate the break and turn off water for that area by 7:10 a.m., Hartman said. Water was turned off for 23 homes in the area while Denver Water addressed the issue. Denver Water was able to replace the pipe and temporarily fix the damage on South Detroit Street by about 4 or 5 p.m. on June 14, he said, and water was turned back on for residents at about 4 p.m. Initially, Denver Water did not know the cause of the break. A lot of factors can lead to a break, Hartman said, such as the age of the pipe, the materials the pipe is made

Technique helps veterans, stroke patients and others BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When Brittany Costa began playing the clarinet about 20 years ago, she had no idea it would lead her on a path to becoming a music therapist for veterans, children struggling with their mental health, people facing grief, premature babies and countless others. “Music therapy is very much
musically involved, but therapeutically involved as well,” said Costa, who works as a music therapist at Creative Remedies and Rocky Mountain Music Therapy. “It just provides a way to achieve that optimal wellness to make you feel better, whether it’s quality of life, or soothing qualities, or working on injuries, or mental health issues — whatever it may be.” Despite the versatility of music therapy, there are still many people who don’t know about it, Costa said. “Music therapy is not very acknowledged as a mental health

Talk with Sheriff Tyler Brown Do you ever wonder regarding the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office ... • How it handles mental health calls? • Why it pairs deputies with co-responders?
Rules for unaffiliated voters casting ballots in the primary As voters continue to cast ballots in the primary election, Arapahoe County officials are warning the unaffiliated voters to follow specific rules. In the June 16 social media post, elec-
• Or how it’s reducing the number of arrests for those in crisis and getting them help? Sheriff Tyler Brown will answer all those questions and more live on Facebook, June 30 at 1 p.m.
tion officials said way too many unaffiliated voters were voting on both the Democrat and Republican ballots. Officials stressed that unaffiliated voters can only cast one ballot in one party. The county clerk’s office must receive ballots by 7 p.m. June 28.
Arapahoe County appoints transitional board of health The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners appointed five individuals to the Foundational Board of Health on June 14. The board will ensure that Arapahoe County Public Health is operational by January 1, 2023. A general plan for the transition to a single-county health department has already been developed and approved by the BOCC. Among its primary tasks are selecting a public health director, recommending a 2023 budget; and securing employees, property, contracts and leases as
needed. The commissioners appointed five individuals with staggered terms, consistent with state statute, following an outreach process that considered 16 qualified candidates from across the County: • Arapahoe County Commissioners Nancy Jackson and Nancy Sharpe (terms to expire December 31, 2023) • Bebe Kleinman (term to expire on December 31, 2025) • Dr. Heather Signorelli (term to expire on December 31, 2025) • Shawn Davis (term to expire on December 31, 2027)

Survey live through Sept. 1 BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
South Suburban Parks and Recreation — which operates parks, open space and recreational facilities throughout Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties — is looking for feedback as it eyes future updates to outdoor amenities and services. The parks service operates 168 parks, open spaces and facilities as well as 12 major trails that serve more than 150,000 residents. Community members have until Sept. 1 to fill out a brief, 15-minute survey to share ideas for where the parks service should invest in future programs over the next five years. Questions include how often community members use amenities, what amenities they believe need improvements and what amenities and programs they would like to see more of. “We’re hoping to hear from our community for what they see as the vision,” said Melissa ReeseThacker, South Suburban’s planning manager.
The updates come following South Suburban’s 2017 master plan, which saw investments in a slew of projects including 26 playgrounds and 41 trail improvements. “We’re anticipating that we’re going to hear from the public that they want more park and recreation programming and amenities,” Reese-Thacker said. Such programs could include more outdoor concerts and events, said Withee. Outdoor spaces overall have seen a spike in use since the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, the Mary Carter Greenway trail, a popular 8-mile paved pathway alongside the South Platte River, saw record use during the early months of the pandemic. “We have seen those numbers drop off a bit since things have reopened, but the numbers are still trending high,” ReeseThacker said. South Suburban plans to pay for future projects through property taxes and funds brought in from fees collected from events and facilities. You can fill out the survey by going to tinyurl.com/southsuburbansurvey.

Ciara and Russell Wilson to open retail shop in Park Meadows The House of LR&C will be first Colorado location BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The House of LR&C, a retail company owned by Grammy Awardwinning singer Ciara and Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, will be opening its first Colorado store location in Lone Tree’s Park Meadows mall this summer. The store will open July 15, said Rachel Wille, the public relations and social media manager at Brookfield Properties, in an email. Brookfield Properties is the real estate company that owns Park Meadows. The House of LR&C store will be located on the lower level of Park Meadows near the center court area of the shopping mall and will occupy 1,900 square feet. The deal has been in the works for the past few months, Wille said. “We are thrilled to welcome The House of LR&C to Park Meadows,” said Pam Schneck-Kelly, the senior general manager of Park Meadows, in the emailed statement. “Ciara, Russell Wilson and their team have been fantastic partners throughout the opening of this location and we are confident that our shopping center community will share in our excitement surrounding this new retailer come July.”
Park Meadows mall is located in Lone Tree.
Ciara and Wilson partnered with Christine Day, the former CEO of the apparel company Lululemon Athletica, to open The House of LR&C in December 2020. According to a news release announcing the launch, “The new branded fashion house was created on the basis of ‘democratizing fashion,’ by breaking down barriers in what has traditionally been an exclusive industry.” The company’s core values are love, respect and care. According to its website, 3% of the company’s net revenue goes to the Why Not

Shoppers of The House of LR&C will find the brands Human Nation, a brand created by the company; Good Man Brand, which was cofounded by Wilson; and LITA by Ciara, which launched in August 2021. Events to commemorate the store’s opening in Park Meadows are currently being planned, Wille said, and details will be announced
in the near future. The City of Lone Tree is excited about the store’s opening, said Nate Jones, the city’s communication director, in an email. “We’re thrilled Ciara and Russell Wilson have chosen to do business here in Lone Tree,” Jones said. “The Park Meadows retail resort always does an amazing job of bringing first to market retail opportunities to residents and shoppers in Colorado, and the House of LR&C is a fine addition to their team. To our new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, welcome, and let’s ride!”
Dear Davis Schilken, I have been helping take care of my parents for the last few years. While they’re spirits are high and their wit is still quick, they aren’t as sharp as they once were. My sister’s also help take care of them. They have recently concluded that Mom and Dad need proper Estate Planning. How do we execute their Estate Plans? Sincerely, Curious Carol Dear Curious Carol, We are happy to hear that your parents are generally in good health. It is never easy watching your loved one’s age. That doesn’t mean that the hard part is over, however. Additionally, I am happy that you and your siblings are trying to take initiative and get Mom and Dad’s Estate Planning rolling.
Eight Magical Weekends! Open Now thru August 7th
There is one key principle you must always remember. These are MOM and DAD’s Estate Plans, not yours, not your sisters’. There is little that can be done by you and your siblings when it comes to Estate Planning. Mom and Dad must decide for themselves whether they want to engage in that process. All that is required to draft a will (or Estate Plan) in the State of Colorado is that “An Individual be eighteen year of age or more who is of sound mind, may make a will.” See §15-11-501. This a relatively low standard. The question remains however, what is “of sound mind?” Colorado Courts answered this question early on. In the case of Lehman v. Lindenmeyer, 109 P.d 305 (Colo. 1910). The court held that: “Testamentary capacity” 1) means sufficient mind to know the extent and value of testator’s property, 2) the number and names of the persons who are the natural objects of his bounty, 3) their deserts with reference to their conduct and treatment toward him, 4) their capacity and necessity,

Ashley Cappel is Arapahoe sheriff’s first female Type 1 wildland firefighter Mother of three also works as deputy emergency manager BYTAYLERSHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The silence of the burned environment was eerie, as Ashley Cappel and fellow firefighters lay in the ruins of the Cameron Peak Fire to rest for the night. Cappel, a deputy emergency manager and wildland firefighter for Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, had been sent on a 72-hour deployment for the 2020 wildfire, which ultimately spanned more than 208,000 acres and became the largest wildfire in Colorado history. “Our fire camp was in an area that had completely burned over weeks prior,” Cappel said, explaining that the camp was a safe area to try to rest because there was nothing left. It was there, surrounded by char, that the devastation of the fire sunk in. “You can just hear your heartbeat, because there’s nothing else to hear,” she said. “There’s no animals left in the areas. There’s not even birds chirping. It’s just kind of this deafening quiet of — everything around is just gone.” That experience stuck with Cappel, showing her both what happened and what she and the other firefighters were working to prevent from happening elsewhere. It also helped motivate her to take the next step in her firefighter career and become the first female Type 1 wildland firefighter in the history of Arapahoe County Sheriff’s

Office. A Type 1 firefighter, otherwise known as a “squad boss,” helps lead a small group of firefighters, according to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. There is a lot of independent tasking when it comes to firefighting, Cappel said. Although firefighters are given a broad objective when addressing fires, it is often up to individual trucks and teams to develop a strategy to meet that objective. To get the Type 1 certification, a firefighter has to complete a task book, which Cappel said is essentially a checklist of tasks, such as being able to document weather out in the field with the proper tools and becoming a driver operator of brush trucks, a type of fire truck.
“Once I went on the Cameron Peak Fire, that kind of spurred, ‘Hey, I’m already doing all these things and there’s a leadership opportunity here, and growth for me to better understand versus just kind of being told, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do,’” Cappel said about why she wanted to become a Type 1 firefighter. From August 2020 through April 2022, Cappel filled out her task book, and this April, she earned certification from the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and became the first female Type 1 wildland firefighter in Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office history. “There’s a commitment and a dedication that is beyond typical, and sacrifices, frankly, that have to be made in order to move up,” said Nathan Fogg,

Joining the Wildland Fire Team Cappel, a 35-year-old mother of three who lives in Castle Rock, has worked for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office for about 10 years, long before she considered becoming a firefighter. In her role as a deputy emergency manager for the Office of Emergency Management, her primary day-to-day job, Cappel helps the county prepare for, prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from human-caused or natural disasters. For example, when situations require it, Cappel will work in the emergency operation center. The Office of Emergency Management also helps oversee the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Wildland Fire Team. The team has 21 firefighters from across county entities, Fogg said, and members have volunteered to join the team as an ancillary duty, meaning they have a different primary job in addition to being a wildland firefighter.

team also assists other local firefighting agencies. There are typically six to 10 local fires a year that the team responds to, in addition to occasional state deployments to fires like the Cameron Peak Fire and Marshall Fire, Cappel said. Cappel first considered becoming a firefighter after the July 2018 Tom Bay Fire east of Denver near Bennett, saying, “It was actually one of our fires … And it was considered a wildland interface fire, so we were approaching homes and we had evacuations.” It was a chaotic experience for her in the emergency operation center, she said, because she didn’t understand the terminology the firefighters communicated on the radio channels. “It was so hard to visualize because I hadn’t been in those shoes before,” she said. She wanted to understand the terminology firefighters used so she could better visualize these types of situations and determine the best ways to support their needs and think ahead for cascading incidents, she said. Wanting to learn in a hands-on way, she began attending some classes and training with firefighters on the Wildland Fire Team. Cappel officially joined the team as a trainee firefighter, classified as a Type 2 firefighter, in about April 2019, she said, after completing training and the “pack test” in which she had to complete a 3-mile journey in less than 45 minutes while carrying a 45-pound pack. She continued training and completing exercises, learning from experienced firefighters on the wildland team. The first fire she responded to was a fire in Deer Trail in August 2020, marking the start of her being able to complete the task book to become a Type 1 firefighter. Given her roles as both a deputy emergency manager and firefighter, it can be a “game day decision” whether Cappel will be in the emergency operation center or on the fire line, she said. Fogg, the county’s emergency manager, said Cappel’s decision-making style shows her to be a person who listens first and an unabashed decision maker who is comfortable with altering course as new information comes. “She’s flexible, she’s [a] solid listener and she’s decisive — all fantastic qualities that we’re looking for in emergency management and wildland firefighter,” Fogg said. Less than 10% of firefighters are women Firefighting has traditionally been a male-dominated field. In 2019, women made up 8% of the firefighter population, according to the National Fire Protection Association. In the Wildland Fire Team, composed of 21 firefighters, there are typically two to three women, said Fogg. Currently, there are two. Cappel said she wonders if stereotypes about being a firefighter are part of the reason it’s a male-dominated field, saying the physical component of the job can be seen as a barrier. Overall, Cappel said, she has a great, supportive team, adding that if she has a question or needs additional support, her teammates will jump in and won’t think of it as a weakness. “I didn’t face too many hurdles,” she said, adding that many firefighters became like family during deployments, as they helped support and look out for
one another. “It is just a little different. You stand around a briefing and you recognize that you are the only female.” One of the challenges Cappel did initially face was getting wildland firefighter personal protective equipment that fit her properly and comfortably. It’s important to have clothes that fit, Fogg said, because otherwise, the clothes can make it harder to work and affect one’s performance. “It didn’t exist,” Cappel said about firefighter gear fitted for women. She said she would have to order pants intended for men that would often come up to her rib cage. When she finally found a manufacturer that made women’s cut pants, it was located in Oregon and would take eight to 10 weeks for the pants to get sewn. “It’s much better now because manufacturers are actually creating women’s sizing and women’s cuts,” she said, saying she now has properly fitted gear that is manufactured in Colorado. Similar to how the firefighting field is male-dominated, Cappel said there also are not many women in emergency management. “It’s not a widely diverse group,” she said. “It’s getting better with women in emergency management, but seeing that same thing on the fireline, kind of, both of them run parallel for me to want to encourage and mentor.” To help mentor others, she recently

to grow her mentorship of women and girls interested in the fields of emergency management and firefighting. She also aims to become more experienced in her Type 1 firefighter role, gaining skills that can apply to both her roles as a firefighter and a deputy emergency manager. With each step forward, it’s memories of fires like the Cameron Peak Fire that stay with her, driving her to learn more so that she can help better protect others. “Those were, kind of, experiences that will live with me for the rest of my career, and even beyond.”

they hold an active music therapist board-certified credential. To help raise awareness about music therapy and advocate for it, Costa has been offering informational sessions about music therapy, and on June 14, she visited Koelbel Library, a part of Arapahoe Libraries located at 5955 S. Holly St. in Centennial, and she presented to a group of about 13 people about music therapy and its value. The evolution of music therapy Costa began her presentation with an introduction to music therapy, which she said started in the 1940s during World War II. Musicians, she said, would play music as injured soldiers were tended to. “That was how music therapy started — was just to provide [a] better quality of life,” she said, explaining the musicians would play soothing and familiar sounds of home to the soldiers to help them feel better. “And then it developed into something else.” Music therapy evolved to incorporate psychology and became something that could help people in a variety of ways, she said. This form of therapy is a reflexive process that is evidence-based, and it involves setting personalized goals with clients, using musical and therapeutic interventions to meet those goals and measuring progress along the way.
Brittany Costa performed a few times on the guitar throughout the event on June COURTESY PHOTOS 14.
The client, she said, could be a child with autism looking to practice social skills, a stroke patient working on speech and mobility skills, a premature baby that needs help relaxing to help improve their breathing, military veterans facing grief and trauma, and so on. “Music therapy is really helpful for anyone in any point of their life,” Costa said. “Even if you think, like, you’re the healthiest person in the world, I could probably find a way to get music therapy to benefit you in some nature.” One of Costa’s clients, a preteen girl, is working on self love, confidence, self identity and emotional

expression and identification, she said. The young girl came to her at the end of last summer, after she was hospitalized due to attempting suicide, Costa said. “She had a lot of stress, anxiety, depression that she was harboring. A lot of it was peer pressure,” Costa said. During the client’s stay in the hospital, she experienced music therapy and said it was one of the coolest things she had ever done, so once she was discharged, her mom reached out to Costa to begin sessions, Costa said. “To watch her grow has been such an amazing experience,” Costa said, explaining that she could relate to her client feeling peer pressure and burying her emotions. “I’m gay and where I grew up was not very accepting, so I had to keep that closeted for a very, very long time.” Costa self-disclosed to her client that when she was younger, she also dealt with feeling negative emotions. “She opened up a lot because we related to each other so much,” Costa said. “Seeing her grow and become more confident, and love the things that make her so unique and different from her friends, has been one of the best rewards.” There are different ways music can be used in a therapeutic session, Costa said. The music therapist can simply play music for the client to listen to, or the music therapist and client can create music together, either assembling original music or recreating other songs. Another method is for the music therapist and client to improvise together and make up new music as the session goes, something Costa enjoys doing. Clients do not need any prior experience playing music, Costa said. As a formally trained musician, she has all the musical training needed for the session. Becoming a music therapist is a ‘lot of work’ To become a certified music therapist, one must attend an approved music therapy program,
like a college program, Costa said, as well as complete a 1,200hour clinical internship. Music therapists also must be able to play guitar, piano and percussion instruments, as well as be trained in voice performance. “It’s a lot of work to become a music therapist,” she said. A few states also require licensure, she said, though Colorado does not. All music therapists in the U.S., however, have to pass a certification board exam. A current issue facing the industry is that people who claim to be a music therapist do not have to prove their certifications, Costa said, allowing for people who are not formal music therapists to claim they are one. This is an issue because although a musician volunteering to play at a hospital, for example, may be able to provide therapeutic music to people, the musician does not have the proper training in psychology and therapy treatments to be able to de-escalate a situation in which a person becomes triggered or lashes out during a session, Costa said. “The title protection is just to separate the actual music therapists from other musicians who consider themselves music therapists,” Costa said about the bill that Polis recently vetoed.
From clarinet to Army to musical therapy The journey to becoming a music therapist was unexpected. In 2006, when Costa was 17, she wanted to continue her musical education with the clarinet, but she had no way to pay for college. Because of the promise of a fully paid undergraduate education, Costa decided to enroll in the U.S. Army. She studied clarinet performance and became classically trained. She was on active duty for a total of six to seven years, she said, and she is currently in the Army National Guard in Colorado and she plays part-time with the 101st Army Band. SEE THERAPY, P10

is a “chemical reaction that causes metals to decay when they are in contact with the humidity, soil and water in the surrounding environment.” The corrosion in the soil will deteriorate the pipes to the point that they eventually break. Denver Water has received reports of some landscape damage that
the Centennial water main break caused, Hartman said. He did not say how many reports have been received so far. “There is visible damages to yard fronts along the back of [the] sidewalk where the water resurfaced,” said Allison Wittern, the communications director of the City of
Centennial, in an email June 17. For those whose property was impacted by the water main break, Denver Water has a program called the “no-fault main break assistance program” that can help residents pay for damage. Insured losses are not eligible for payment, according to Denver Water’s website. Those interested in learning more can visit the program’s webpage: denverwater.org/main-break-help. In addition to the landscape damage, the water main break also caused damage to the roads, which Denver Water is responsible for repairing and fixing. “There is severe undermining along the asphalt roadway and some areas of sidewalk curb and gutter that warrant repairs,” Wittern said, adding that the city is not responsible for the damages. Wittern said the South Detroit Street area was evaluated June 16 and it was determined that the span of repairs will include repairing the asphalt as well as some parts of the street’s sidewalk, curb and gutter. The city will meet with Denver Water to get this scheduled, Wittern said. For those interested in contacting Denver Water, the customer care phone number is: 303-893-2444.

became interested. She decided to pursue the Equivalency Plus Master of Music Therapy at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. She will graduate from the program after completing her thesis and final course this summer, she said. This year, she also completed her 1,200-hour clinical internship and became a certified music therapist. She looks forward to continuing to help serve a variety of clients, especially veterans, while also raising awareness about music therapy overall. “One of my goals as a music therapist is to bring more awareness of it and to provide awareness — to bring education to people, like this. This was awesome,” Costa said about the June 14 event. Becoming a music therapist was a consideration of Jennifer
Noguera, a program manager for Opportunity and Living, which is a day program for adults with special needs. She hasn’t pursued it yet because of how much time it would take, she said, but when she learned about the music therapy event happening at Koelbel Library, she came along with about eight clients at the day program. Noguera enjoyed that towards the end of the presentation, Costa offered a music-assisted relaxation session for people who attended. Her biggest takeaway from the event was the therapeutic benefits music therapy can provide. “It’s just great, overall. Something, like she said, that people don’t know about, but even if you’re quote-unquote healthy, it’s still very beneficial,” Noguera said. “People should look into it.”

of, changes in water pressure, temperature changes and soil corrosion. In this case, the pipe that broke was a 12-inch cast-iron pipe dating to 1974. Hartman said the size and material are fairly common in Denver Water’s system, and that cast-iron pipes have performed “reasonably well,” indicating the pipe materials were not responsible for the break. “We don’t typically know right away what causes these,” Hartman said about water main breaks during a June 16 phone interview. “We do try to take a look afterwards and get a better sense of why they happen, but that tends to take some time.” During the June 16 interview, Hartman said the cause of the water main break was unknown. The following day, he said Denver Water concluded its investigation into the break and determined that corrosive soils were responsible. “This is a cause of many breaks,” Hartman said in the June 17 email.

Restaurateur carries on the family tradition ‘You rely on so many people’ in fourth-generation eatery in Centennial BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Galassos have been serving marinara-topped pasta, Italianinfluenced sandwiches and handstretched pizza in Centennial for a decade now, but the family’s culinary roots in Colorado actually reach back half a century. “The very first GeJo’s was opened by my great-grandmother, back in the mid-’60s, down south in Trinidad, Colorado,” Tony Galasso told Colorado Community Media. His father, uncle and grandparents opened more locations in the Denver metro area in the ’70s. Galasso, 44, grew up in the business and remembers standing on a milk crate to make pizzas and wash dishes. Although he worked at GeJo’s II in Aurora as a high school student, his family stepped away from the restaurant industry in the late ’90s. Galasso, who began a career in the mortgage industry in the early 2000s, assumed he’d find a way back to the world of food someday. “I had always wanted to get in

the industry and carry on the family tradition,” Galasso said. So when the space that used to house GeJo’s IV in the ’80s and ’90s became available, Galasso knew it was time to fulfill a dream he had nearly given up on and become a restaurant owner. After an extensive 20-month-long remodel, GeJo’s Original Italian Restaurant & Lounge opened in February 2012 near the intersection of Quebec Street and Dry Creek Road. The eatery pays tribute to his father, uncle and grandparents as well as revives his great-grandmother’s family recipes. Galasso’s favorite entree is Geno’s Spaghetti Special which is topped with seasoned ground beef, a smooth marinara sauce and a homemade hot pepper blend for “a little kick.” To this day, GeJo’s continues to be a family affair. Galasso said there’s no way he could run the business on his own. “You rely on so many people and pieces to help you be successful,” he said, remarking on the assistance of his wife, his immediate family and his employees. His father is particularly dedicated and still “lives and breathes and bleeds the restaurant industry.” But just as important is the community that backs GeJo’s.

Consistency, in your product and in your service, is what sets one restaurant apart from another,
Galasso said. GeJo’s achieves that by always having a family member or an anchor employee at the restaurant overseeing operations. That support is more valuable than ever, Galasso said. He and his wife have a 16-month old daughter and will soon be welcoming a second child. His challenge now, he said, is balancing work in the demanding restaurant business with time amid his growing family. “Having a child of my own and another one on the way, family becomes more important than ever,” he said.

Dreading the bubble
I
t’s that time of year where we start reviewing the ballot and working to decide who might be best to serve us on the local, state and federal levels. For me, it’s become the time where I dread filling in the bubbles. FROM THE I still believe in voting. I EDITOR truly believe it’s important to vote and get my opinions out there. However, given the current state of our political climate, I dread it. I dread it because it’s becoming harder to even see which candidates are looking for the job to actually do good work, or if they are just spreading a Thelma Grimes party message, being vindictive and acting like children. I, like many, am tired of the self-serving politicians who, as soon as they are elected, forget about the job they are there to do and immediately stand on a side and fight. To the politicians in office — you are not elected to just represent a side. You see, once in office, you are there to represent all your constituents — even the ones who did not vote for you. To the voters — If you are filling in a bubble based solely on a party line — What good does that do? In an interesting discussion with a friend recently, I said I was tired of the same people constantly getting reelected. I would like to see the career politicians go. That means Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz. In all honesty, I would also like to see some of the newer ones go — the AOCs, and Lauren Boeberts for instance. I would like all of them out. I was saying I do not understand how they continue to get reelected when clearly they are not doing good work. My friend brought up a valid, yet interesting point, saying, “It’s better to vote for the devil you know.” Honestly, there is a lot of truth to his statement. Incumbents continue to be returned to office because of fear for voting for change. In Pelosi’s case, she continues to get reelected because she’s the one they know on the side that California district trusts more. While there may not be a lot of trust or approval, for many, it’s better than the untested challenger on the other side of the aisle. That has led us to the current issues. Every two years a new party takes over with the main leaders being reelected and kept in place. While the tide might change from red to blue every few years, nothing really changes. If we could get a good, unaffiliated candidate — I would give it serious thought. Am I always right in the vote I cast? Absolutely not. I do find myself disappointed more often than I used to be. However, I am always positive I did my best to research, understand and pick the candidate who I believe will represent the people – all people.

Is it better to build bridges, or burn them?
T
he origin of “burning bridges” has its roots in ancient Rome. And we see where they were not only burning the bridges, but also burning the boats. In some cases, they burned the bridges and the boats so the enemy could not pursue them. And in other cases, they burned both bridge and boat so they enemy could not flee. Throughout our journey in this life, we have all heard the expression or received guidance around burning bridges. It’s interesting because sometimes we are encouraged not to burn the bridges, and other times people may suggest that we burn the bridges behind us. In a recent conversation this topic came up and it was fun, but also a bit polarizing for the group as there were very strong opinions. In doing a little research on the topic I stumbled onto a page with some audacious quotes about burning bridges. The list of quotes started out with some very strong feelings about why we should burn the bridges behind us. “Sometimes burning bridges isn’t a bad thing. It prevents you from going back to a place you should never have been to begin with.” — Anonymous While others support not burning bridges such as the person who anonymously made this statement, “The bridge you burn today may be the one you have to cross tomorrow.” For me, if at all possible, I prefer not to burn the bridges behind me. I do agree where there are times when moving ahead and never looking

back makes sense. But before I do that, I would really rather preserve the opportunity to save a relationship, resolve a conflict, or just maintain the potential for a better outcome in the future. Just because we disagree today, doesn’t mean we will disagree tomorrow. The intensity of opinions has created a heightened state of awareness when it comes to Michael Norton burning or not burning bridges. And unfortunately, sadly, it has escalated into not just burning bridges and burning the boats but leaving nothing but scorched earth behind when conflict or disagreements arise. I always wonder why there is a need to take this route. I understand that people have very strong feelings and opinions, and those feelings and opinions may not line up with our own. However, if there is no room to find middle ground on a given topic, there could be an opportunity to work together or to help one another in the future. The song, “It’s a Small World (After All)” was written in 1963. If you have visited Disney, you have probably taken a ride through the attraction named after the song, and you probably couldn’t get the song out of your head for

The skinny mom
currently coach a volleyball team. When meeting with one of the parents, I mentioned that I had four kids. She promptly looked MOTHER me up and down and said, “Wow. MUSINGS I thought women with that many kids were supposed to let themselves go!” I’m guessing she was implying that I looked slimmer than she expected for giving birth Stacey Carruth four times. And despite my understanding of what she was trying to do, I was frustrated. I never had a “skinny” body. I always had a healthy layer of chub growing up, which only
increased in my college years. I have many memories of kids in elementary and middle school calling me “fat” or “the Pillsbury dough girl.” Since then, I’ve attached being liked and having friends to my weight. I started having children in my early 20s. Obviously, my weight fluctuated a lot in the nine years of bearing and nursing four babies. To no one’s surprise, my body always got more compliments or attention when I was thinner than when I was heavier. Currently, I am at the lowest weight I’ve been since middle school. I’ve been at this weight since 2018. But there’s a reason for this: genetics, time and money. I spent that year carefully planning my workouts to be a balance of weights and cardio. I went to the gym for two hours
daily. The gym had a daycare for my four kids. I hired a health coach. I bought meal plans and apps. And I had the money and availability to do all of these things at the same time. And it paid off! I had chiseled arms and low enough body fat to get lots of attention. The first thing out of people’s mouths were, “wow, you look so good!”, “Your face! It’s all gone!” You look good You look good You look good But it didn’t make me feel good. This may sound weird, but that attention and those compliments REALLY bothered me. To be honest, I thought I looked good before. So now I wondered, what was everyone thinking before I lost weight?
Here’s another thing, I didn’t feel any different. My body still looked the same in the mirror to me, just smaller. I still nitpicked at myself every time I looked at it. Instead of enjoying it, like I promised myself I would do for so many years if I lost the weight, I just looked for the next thing that needed to change … there was always something. The only thing that my appearance demonstrated was where I spent my time. When I was working on my body, I was not working on my writing, I did not have a career, I wasn’t reading, I wasn’t going to school, I wasn’t starting a new business, I wasn’t taking care of an elderly parent, I wasn’t dealing with a mental illness, I wasn’t unemployed, I wasn’t

because of one person, group of people, or company, we could also be burning bridges with everyone that is associated or connected to someone else that we may want to get to know, or a place where we are hoping to work, or even a referral where we are trying to make a sale. I am not suggesting that anyone compromise their integrity or their position just to appease others. What I am suggesting is that perhaps we can try an alternate approach because we, or someone we know, may really need that bridge again one day. Romans 12:8 — “Do all that you can to live at peace with everyone.” How about you? Do you prefer
to burn the bridges or build the bridges? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we realize that when we leave roads, bridges, and doors open for the future, it really will be a better
than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

There was no internet in 1963, nor was there any social media Access to information was limited to what we saw in the newspaper, watched on television, or listened to on the radio. Today, we have instant access to information and can reach people in a matter of a few clicks, creating a very small world.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LPS interpreters deserve better After Littleton Public Schools board members voted to deny collective bargaining rights to interpreters for deaf/hard-ofhearing students on June 9, I was reminded of a Rev. Jesse Jackson dquote: “The problem is not that the students do not hear. The problem is that the hearing world does not listen.” The LPS turnover rate for - interpreters is hard on deaf/ hard-of-hearing students. Without a meaningful say in our working conditions, we’re faced with inconsistent coverage and an ever-changing cast of interpreters that results in a lack of trust and impaired learning for the Littleton students we work with. In my five years with the district, at least 10 interpreters have come and gone, many not even lasting a full semester. We constantly look for new hires and when we can’t fill a position, the district is forced to pay higher rates for freelance agency coverage. One key way to improve the education and quality of services for our students would be for the LPS board to grant union recognition to interpreters. As credentialed professionals with associate or bachelor’s degrees, national performance/ skills exams and 60-plus hours of
continuing education credits, we should be given a real seat at the table and categorized with other licensed staffers who do have union rights. Recognizing us — either as our own union or as a part of the already-established Littleton Education Association — will allow interpreters to exert greater autonomy over our profession, building consistency and higher quality learning environments for Littleton students. Research shows that the key to academic success for deaf/hardof-hearing students is the educational interpreter who communicates the material being taught, not the quality of teaching. The same study found that educational interpreters are “shortchanged by the education system,” leading to these professionals cycling out of districts at an alarming rate and ultimately our students losing out. But we need your help to change the system. If you agree our students deserve better, please ask the LPS board to approve an interpreter union. And if you feel inspired, please join us in August at the next board meeting to share your thoughts during personal comment. Summer Lapp Aurora

ver wanted to take a road trip across the state without slogging through an hours-long drive on highways? Residents can let public transportation take the wheel on trips to places near and far, including a new long-distance shuttle line that runs from the Denver area to places such as Idaho Springs, Frisco and Vail. Other bus routes can take you to Fort Collins, Longmont, Colorado Springs and even Grand Junction. And public transportation can also take you to some destinations in the suburbs you may not be familiar with. Here’s a look at the public transportation routes that run through these places and more — with a rundown of some attractions along the way. RTD in the suburbs You might not think twice when you watch a Regional Transportation District, or RTD, bus roll past, but the bus and rail systems can drop riders close to many scenic areas around town. Olde Town Arvada, for example, sits along the RTD G Line, a commuter rail line that runs between Union Station in the downtown Denver area and Wheat Ridge. As opposed to RTD’s light rail lines, the commuter rail lines travel at faster speeds. The historical atmosphere and “social hub” feeling in Olde Town Arvada — near Ralston Road and Wadsworth Boulevard — make it a great place to visit, said Austin Nettleton, a RTD spokesperson. “That’s pretty much one of my favorite spots to go to — there’s so many cool food and drink places,” said Nettleton, who used to live near that area, in Broomfield, and would go down to the RTD Olde Town Arvada station. Meanwhile, the N Line can take you from Denver through the north and east suburbs of Commerce City, Thornton and North-

glenn. The N rail line largely weaves through residential areas, but the Northglenn-112th Station — near York Street and 112th Avenue — sits within walking distance of Carpenter Park, a place that offers a laundry list of activities. “They’ve got a pretty cool skate park there (and) a huge outdoor park. A boathouse, you can rent those little paddle boats. And they’ve got a huge rec center there too,” Nettleton said. (Paddle boats have been unavailable due to a staffing shortage, the City of Thornton’s website said as of June 12.) Other Carpenter Park amenities include a carousel, horseshoe pits, sand volleyball courts and a “sprayground” with a spray pad for enjoying in warm weather, according to Thornton’s website. Near Denver’s southeast edge sits RTD’s Dayton Station along Interstate 225, where riders can exit at a trail connection that leads to Cherry Creek State Park. “There’s even a bridge that goes across 225 to take you to the mountain bike trails,” Nettleton said, referring to a mountain bike skills area along the paths. Another destination in the suburbs is Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, a large outdoor concert venue a short walk from RTD’s Arapahoe at Village Center light rail station. The venue in Greenwood Village hosts well-known music artists and sits close to Arapahoe Road and Interstate 25. Those who don’t live close to a rail station can bike, take a ride-sharing service such as Lyft or catch an RTD bus to get to a station. Getting farther north If you’ve been to Boulder, you may have seen the FLEX bus, a non-RTD transit line that serves several places in Colorado’s northern Front Range corridor. The FLEX route includes stops between Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, Longmont and Boulder. It’s operated by Transfort, a part of the City of Fort Collins governSEE TRANSPORT, P17
In light of changing federal mask policy for transportation, masks might not be required in your area on public transit. Austin Nettleton, a spokesperson for RTD in Denver and surrounding areas, said masks are not required for all passengers and drivers on RTD transportation. “We encourage and recommend facial coverings, but they are not required or enforced for employees and customers,” Nettleton said. Anna Russo, a spokesperson
for the Transfort transit system in Fort Collins that extends to Boulder, also said masks are not required for all passengers and drivers. “We do encourage people to wear masks, but it’s not a requirement,” Russo said. “We ask that you don’t ride Transfort if you have COVID symptoms,” she added. Bob Wilson, a Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson, said passengers are not required to wear masks but drivers are on Bustang routes.
The FLEX bus route that runs between Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, Longmont and Boulder is currently “fare free.” “So someone could board the FLEX in Boulder and get all the way up to Fort Collins for free,” said Anna Russo, a spokesperson for Transfort, the part of the City of Fort Collins government that operates FLEX. All the routes that are operated by Transfort, which includes FLEX and MAX and the numbered routes in Fort Collins, are currently free, according to Russo. Transfort started providing service for free around spring 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic reached Colorado, Russo said. It was an effort to “help with the pandemic and just support people who might need some financial assistance getting around town,” Russo said. “But then we’ve just continued it through up until now. We might go back to charging fares in the future, but at this time, we don’t have a date for that.” Officials are conducting a study of Transfort’s revenue sources and costs, and they are looking at the feasibility of continuing to operate fare free permanently, but it’s still unclear, Russo said.

See mobile apps that can help with riding RTD at rtd-denver. com/business-center/openspatial-data/mobile-apps. The RTD Mobile Ticketing app, for example, lets riders buy and use Day Passes instantly on their phones. Asked about the most costeffective way to ride, Austin Nettleton, a spokesperson for RTD, “highly recommends” getting the regional/ airport day pass. It’s $10.50 for adults and allows people to ride any bus or rail line and make as many transfers as they want for the entire service day, Nettleton said.

ment. “Downtown Fort Collins is full of history, and the sugar beet industry was big in town,” said Anna Russo, a spokesperson for Transfort. Downtown Fort Collins is also known as one of the places that inspired Disneyland’s Main Street USA, according to Russo. Visitors can take a self-guided walking tour of downtown’s history, learning about the “architecture, wild characters and iconic historic sites,” according to the tourism website VisitFtCollins.com. If you’re seeking some color, you can swing by Colorado State University’s Annual Flower Trial Garden. The purpose of the trial garden program is to evaluate the performance of different annual plant cultivars under the unique Rocky Mountain environmental conditions, according to CSU’s website. “They plant different varieties and different colors of annual flowers, and it’s open to the public. You can walk through them and look,” Russo said. Nearby in Loveland, visitors can check out the Loveland Museum of Art and History, the Benson Sculpture Garden and the Swim Beach area at Lake Loveland. “And they can get to those destinations by transferring to City of Loveland transportation from the FLEX,” Russo said. In the Boulder area, the FLEX line ends at the University of Colorado Boulder campus. “So that’s a nice area to walk around, and there’s also a museum of natural history on their campus,” Russo said.

transit, Bustang, managed by the Colorado Department of Transportation, also connects to the FLEX. Bustang buses “do pick up at our downtown Fort Collins transit center and the Harmony transfer center at Harmony (Road) and I-25,” Russo said. That’s another way people coming from the south could connect to transportation in Fort Collins, she said. Ways to traverse the state CDOT’s Bustang routes make up a network of paths that run through northern, western, southern and part of eastern Colorado. Bustang routes go between Fort Collins and Denver, Grand Junction and Denver and Colorado Springs and Denver, according to the service’s website. Additionally, the “Bustang Outrider” routes go between Lamar, Pueblo and Colorado Springs; Alamosa and Pueblo; Durango and Grand Junction; Crested Butte and Denver; Craig and Denver; and Telluride and Grand Junction, according to the website. Just last month, the state launched another option for travel along the Interstate 70 mountain corridor with the introduction of Pegasus, CDOT’s new express shuttle that began providing passenger service May 27. Pegasus was to depart year-round from Union Station in Denver, stopping at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood along with stops in Idaho Springs, Frisco, Vail and Avon, according to a CDOT news release. A Pegasus shuttle seats up to 11 people, is wheelchair accessible and is equipped with USB ports, power outlets and Wi-Fi. Each vehicle also has luggage storage, bike racks and ski or snowboard containers, according to the news release.
Each Bustang bus is equipped with a restroom, bike racks, free Wi-Fi, power outlets and USB ports, and there are also a wheelchair lift and two wheelchair securement areas on each bus, according to the Bustang website. Pegasus service runs on weekends, but CDOT plans to expand it to daily service although there isn’t a set date for that yet, said Bob Wilson, a CDOT spokesperson. The many CDOT routes offer opportunities to explore Colorado’s mountain towns, Wilson said, along with chances to take care of more practical matters. “It provides people an opportunity if you’re living in Craig, for instance, if you need to see a doctor, you’re able to do that in Denver,” Wilson said. During the Denver Broncos football season, riders can catch a “Bustang to Broncos” bus, Wilson said. It provides round-trip transportation from both Colorado Springs and Fort Collins to Empower Field at Mile High stadium in Denver.

alerts and safety information, according to RTD’s website. RTD encourages riders to also dial 911 if there is an emergency, Nettleton said. For information on the Bustang and Pegasus routes offered by
“So people can not worry about drinking and driving,” Wilson said. The first Bustang route became operational in July 2015, Wilson said. It started off only running between Fort Collins and Denver, Colorado Springs and Denver, and Glenwood Springs and Denver, but over the last seven years, the service has expanded to more routes, Wilson said. “And expansion is expected to continue” as resources and funding allow, he added. Hearing demand from Front Range and rural areas of Colorado drove the creation of the Bustang service, Wilson said. “We had heard from a lot of people (that there was no) option to get from locations throughout the state to Denver” unless you had a car, Wilson said. Randy Wheelock, a Clear Creek County commissioner, welcomed the recent addition of the Bustang Pegasus route. “Whether addressing local air quality or climate change, or addressing both local and state mobility needs, we must transform how we use our roads,” Wheelock said in the news release. “Pegasus has the potential to be that transformational catalyst, helping us want to change how we travel and building ridership for a more thoughtful transportation future.” The state also offers the Snowstang service during the ski season, providing round-trip service on weekends and holidays from Denver to four resorts: Loveland Ski Area, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Steamboat Resort and Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs, according to the Bustang website.

Grab a quick picnic and a blanket or folding chairs (perhaps a summer music “kit” will have a place in the car rather than schlepping every time). Summer concerts outside are
a special treat on Colorado’s lovely summer evenings. Perhaps readers have a neighbor who performs or a favorite nearby park location, but you may find that a favorite performer is playing across town and be drawn to visit. Most are free concerts and some require tickets in our communities from Castle Rock up to Lakewood. Take a bit of time to fill in the calendar. Kids can learn the joy of music as the sun sets and parents and grandparents already are aware. Perhaps visiting relatives will also
be entertained. • Starting close to home for me will be the Littleton Museum concerts sponsored by the Friends of the Littleton Library on Wednesdays on the lawn. If the weather is questionable, call 303-795-3950. Mask wearing is encouraged here. 6:30-8 p.m. on June 22 —Juice O’ The Barley — with concerts running through Aug. 3. • Castle Rock Band: 2:30 p.m. July 4 in Festival Park, Castle Rock. • Highlands Ranch Concert Band and its smaller group, Swing Shift:

Oh, those summer nights at the Arvada Center
C
olorado is home to plenty of well-known — even world famous — concert venues, but some of the best shows I’ve seen have been at the numerous venue gems sprinkled all over the metro area. Take the Arvada Center’s Outdoor Amphitheater, which provides some lovely summer night skylines without the massive queues and uphill climbs. The 2022 Summer Concert Series at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is one of the strongest yet, with local favorites that are part of the fabric of summer — like the Colorado Symphony — and national touring acts like Dawes, Madeleine Peyroux and Melissa Etheridge. We spoke to Marcus E. Turner, director of communications and audience services at the center, about the season and what audiences can expect. Interview edited for brevity and clarity. What was it like to be planning a full series again? We have expanded this series to include more concerts than we’ve had in previous years. Concerts are not just an important aspect of the Arvada Center’s slate of programming but are a key component in the Denver metro cultural scene. It is exciting for us to play our part in adding a variety of different acts for concert lovers to experience the summer. Tell me about this year’s line-up. The concert lineup at the Arvada Center truly has something for everyone. By having national and international touring acts alongside some of our favorite

intimacy of the venue and the incredible artistry of our performers come together to create what we believe is a perfect summer evening.

Tell me about blending local performance groups and national acts like Dawes. The unique thing about our concert series is that a dedicated fan can see so many different concerts at a single venue. The intimacy and layout of our Outdoor Amphitheatre provides audiences with an up close and personal look at some of the best artists in our region and in the country.
The one with the Cherry Creek Mall You know the episode of “Friends,” where they set up shop at the Cherry Creek Mall for a summer and invited folks in to take photos and poke around? No? Well, you have now. The Friends Experience, a traveling exhibit that recreates 12 rooms of set recreations, including Joey and Chandler’s apartment, Monica and Rachel’s kitchen and Central Perk, will be open at the Cherry Creek Mall, 2500 E. First Ave. in Denver, through Sept. 5. In addition to wandering through the sets, visitors can also check out props and costumes from the show, purchase gifts and more. Tickets and information can be found at https://denver.friendstheexperience.com/.
What do people need to know about attending this year’s series? We are looking forward to having fans come back to the Arvada Center Outdoor Amphitheatre this summer. There are covered seats that are reserved so audience members can choose the seat they want or there are casual general admission spots on our lawn. Outside food and beverages are not permitted in our amphitheatre but we work with amazing local caterers to provide a variety of options for audiences. What is the Center most excited about with the series returning? The Outdoor Amphitheatre is a magical place on concert nights. The enthusiasm of the fans, the
Wander through an Unreal Garden A well created garden can be a truly awe-inspiring thing.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Fleet Foxes at Mission Ballroom There’s a kind of magic to the music Fleet Foxes make. The way Robin Pecknold and company layer their lilting vocals and intricate instrumentation can carry the listener away to some other world — a place full of trees and valleys, where all the seasons get their fullest expression. While we unfortunately don’t currently reside in that world, you can get there in a way by catching Fleet Foxes at 7:30 p.m. on June 28 at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver. Last year the band released one of the best live albums of the year in “A Very Lonely Solstice,” and I’m sure they’ll unveil another absolutely superb show on this tour.

That’s the correct answer. Though what we choose to compliment and to whom we choose to give our attention will be the ultimate deciding factor. Stacey Carruth is a mother of four living in Arapahoe County

Playing golf and learning life lessons First Tee celebrates opening the Overland Park Junior Course BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was barely a year ago when 16-year-old Layla Duong first put her hands on a golf club. Back then, she knew nothing of the sport. “Golf is for the rich,” she thought. “Golf is boring.” But in April 2021, through a friend’s encouragement, Duong applied for, and obtained, a job with First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains. Today, Duong serves as a First Tee junior coach and works directly with about 40 youth as their mentor. She plays golf on South High School’s varsity golf team and, being the first in her family to play golf, she is teaching them how to play the sport so it becomes something they can do together. “I have a deep passion for the sport now,” Duong said. “I will continue (playing) golf my whole life.” Though Duong has fallen in love with golf, it’s not just the sport that she enjoys so much — it’s being involved with First Tee. “I learned not only golf, but I learned how to be mentally strong, and how to stay true to myself,” Duong said. “As a minority, I thought I’d be looked at differently. I thought I would have to change myself in order to fit in. But everyone was very open and nonjudgmental.” First Tee is a national for-youth nonprofit organization that was established 25 years ago. Youth get to play golf, but moreover, the organization creates learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence and resilience. “What First Tee does is use golf as a tool to educate youth, socially, academically and physically,” said Paula Purifoy, CEO of First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains. “We do a lot of mentoring — it’s so much more than golf.” The organization does this by instilling nine core values related to golf, which can be carried through a youth’s development. The core values are: Honesty - This encourages youth to honestly self report scores and penalties.
To learn more about First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains, visit firstteecoloradorockymountains.org. The organization hosts open houses for members of the community. There are a number of them scheduled through June and July. To register or to find an open house in a nearby Denver neighborhood, visit the website above and select `get involved.’ Then scroll to `open houses’ and click on it to open the link. Integrity - This pushes youth to be responsible for their own actions on the golf course, even when no one is looking. Sportsmanship - A value that teaches youth to observe the rules of play, and win or lose with grace. Respect - To show respect for oneself, playing partners, competitors, the golf course and traditions of the game. Confidence - Through being positive, this core value focuses on youth being more confident. Responsibility - The lesson is to allow youth to learn and take responsiblity for their own actions. Perseverance - Pushing youth to succeed in golf where players must continue through bad breaks and their own mistakes. Courtesy - Starting and ending a game of golf with a handshake among competitors. Judgment - Deciding strategy, and when to play safe and when to take a chance. Daniel Reeves has been with First Tee for 20 years, starting when he was 19. Today, he serves as the executive director of the local chapter. “We focus on making it fun and the relationships,” Reeves said, adding he enjoys seeing the youth grow up, become successful and, “creating as big of an opportunity as possible for others to help others.” First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains offers two primary programs — on course and in school/after school. The on course program runs for six weeks. It is a fee-based program, but scholarships are available. The on course First Tee program is offered at 28 facilities across the state, with eight of them being in Denver, Purifoy said. The in school/after school program is free to SEE GOLF, P23

families. Part of this program entails working with physical education teachers to provide the training, equipment and lesson plans for their students. First Tee’s school program is probably best known for its Read `N’ Swing. Aiming at continued education, a student reads with a First Tee staffer or volunteer, then after quality reading time, students participate in a golf activity. Read `N’ Swing got its start at Columbine Elementary School, a Denver Public School located at 29th Avenue and Columbine Street, when the school was rated one of the lowest in the entire country for reading, Purifoy said. The program saw so much success that it has now been expanded to 55 schools in the Denver-metro area, Purifoy said. Headquartered at the City Park Golf Course in Denver, First TeeColorado Rocky Mountains is one of about 150 chapters located across the U.S. There are also some chapters abroad. First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. “In the beginning, (First Tee) served about 200 kids at City Park,”
Purifoy said. The program has grown since 2002. Citing 2019, Purifoy said, about 10,000 youth across the state are involved with First Tee annually. On May 12, First Tee celebrated the grand opening of the Overland Park Junior Course — an event that was postponed for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prices, of Parker, attended the celebration. Their son, Judson, 10, has had golf lessons in the past, but it was not a favorable experience, Sandra Price said. The family is now thinking about getting Judson involved with First Tee. “I like the fact that everyone is so engaged,” Sandra Price said. “And I like the community involvement.” The Overland Golf Course in Denver was established in 1895. For adult and more experienced golfers, the course boasts challenges to players of any skill level. Now with the junior course, Overland will be able to serve at least 500 youth, said Happy Haynes, executive director of Denver Parks & Recreation, at the May 12 event. “We’re creating new leaders in this community,” Haynes said. “Through the game of golf, kids are growing in every way you can think of.”

Xcel Energy wants customers to pay for plant shutdowns Public Utilities Commission officials want more study
of options, particularly using securitized bonds, which are seen as a potential cheaper financing mechanism. “It is incumbent upon the company to model securitization and other options,” Commissioner John Gavan said. “We will need to take this off to a separate proceeding.” As part of its electric resource plan — which forecasts the utility’s electricity demand for the next four years and the generating resources to meet it — and its Clean Energy Plan, aimed at cutting the utility’s greenhouse gas emissions, Xcel Energy is moving to close all its coal-fired plants. The plan is to close the utility’s five remaining units — in Craig, Hayden, Fort Morgan and Pueblo — between 2027 and 2031 at a cost of a little more than $1 billion. The bulk of that figure — $732 million — is for shutting the 750-megawatt Comanche 3 unit, in Pueblo. The $1.3 billion plant only went into operation in 2010 and will be the last to close at the end of 2030. The plant has been beset with operating, equipment and financial problems, leading to more than 800 days of shutdowns. Initially, Xcel
BY MARK JAFFE SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission on June 10 balked at approving a billion-dollar price tag to shut down Xcel Energy’s five remaining coal-fired generating units — to be paid by customers — and instead is seeking more detailed financial analysis. The proposed closing costs were part of a settlement agreement between Xcel Energy, the state’s largest electricity provider, and a group of state agencies, local governments and labor and environmental groups. The commission, however, wanted more scrutiny of the finances. “We’ve expressed concern over understanding these costs,” Commissioner Megan Gilman said. “We owe that to the ratepayers.” At issue is the financial method Xcel Energy is proposing to recover the closure costs. The commission said it wants Xcel to analyze a range

proposed running the plant until 2040 and then under pressure cut the closure date to 2035 and eventually 2031. The commission also asked for more detailed data on project operation and maintenance costs for Comanche 3, while it is still in use. “We have seen escalating unexpected costs in terms of unit 3 maintenance,” Gavan said. Xcel Energy is proposing using securitized bonds to finance the Comanche 3 closure which includes $690 million to pay for the unamortized part of the utility’s investment in the unit, $32 million in cleanup costs and $10 million in bond costs. The securitized bonds are linked to a guaranteed revenue source from the utility and as a result can be offered lower interest rates, reducing overall costs. For the three other units, however, Xcel Energy proposed, in the partial settlement of its resource plan submitted to the PUC, using other financing mechanisms, such as accelerated depreciation and a so-called regulatory asset. A regulatory asset is a financial device in which all the costs associated with closing a coal-fired unit

would be gathered in one place and paid off by customers over time — with Xcel Energy also getting an interest payment on the account. The PUC move may be a concern for the settling parties, said Gwen Farnsworth, a managing senior policy advisor for environmental group Western Resources Advocates, which signed on to the agreement. One of the goals of the settlement was to close the coal-fired plants as quickly as possible with Pawnee closing its coal-fired unit and switching to natural gas in 2025, followed by the Hayden 2 unit in 2027, and Hayden 1 and Craig closing in 2028. Breaking the retirement costs off to a separate proceeding could delay the closure process and even lead to knock-on-effects in delaying the acquisition on new, clean resources, Farnsworth said.
