Fort Lupton Having Suds of Fun Summers events at the Library BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was a Bubble Dance Party at the Fort Lupton Library on July 19. Over 150 families came to the event to cool down and have suds of fun. “It’s great to see our families come together again at the library to play and connect. The library is so important in our community and today’s turnout is evidence that our programs make a difference in their lives,” said Kate Davis, Youth and Family Services Librarian. This year the library is back hosting events for families and its readers bringing performer Ann Lincoln and her Foam Range program. She entertains at libraries across Colorado.

They teach ages three years old to adults with ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and preschool classes. Senior, also dancer, has a passion to teach kids, as well. “I love kids and I love to dance. The two together is just everything for me,” said Senior. “I wanted to provide a safe place for the kids and a home away from home. It’s somewhere where they could pursue their dreams, goals and their passion.” Senior said Rickman was a great

Senior said Melissa told her she just want to go for it and knock the audience’s socks off. “’I want to have fun and I’m committed to this’ she said,” Senior claims. “So she just jumped right in and has been incredible.” Nick Kenny, executive director of Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra, and professional dancer Brynlee Richardson with A Dance Place representing the Greeley clubhouse teen center dancing a hip hop ensemble.

Adams County ‘finding its place’ National site experts visit and discuss how county ranks BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Site development expert Jeannette Goldsmith told a crowd of local officials and business owners that she gets the sense that Adams County is PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Is Roth IRA better for young workers? If you’re early in your career, you’re probably not thinking much about retirement. Nonetheless, it’s never too soon to start preparing for it. So, you might want to consider choosing a traditional or Roth IRA. Which is better for you? There’s no easy answer. Depending on your income level, you can make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA and your earnings are tax-deferred, meaning taxes are due when you take withdrawals. With a Roth IRA, contributions aren’t deductible, but earnings and withdrawals can be tax-free, provided certain conditions are met. It might benefit you to choose the Roth option and essentially pay taxes on your contributions now, especially if you think you’ll be in a higher tax bracket when you retire. Also, a Roth IRA allows you to withdraw contributions – but not earnings – at any time, without penalties. You may want to consult with your tax advisor for help in picking either the traditional or Roth IRA. But try to contribute as much as you can each year to whichever one you choose. Your IRA can be a valuable source of income during your retirement years. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

trying to figure itself out, based on two days of tours and visits to local businesses and projects. Goldsmith, vice president of South Carolina-based site development search firm Strategic Development Group, said she’s been reminded of two counties in Tennessee — Sumner and Rutherford counties — while touring Adams County. Both counties are east of Nashville, Rutherford County to the southeast of Nashville and Sumner to the northeast. “Both are places that are trying to figure out where they fit in as a part of the Nashville metro area,” Goldsmith said. “I get the same sense about Adams County, trying to figure out where you fit in Metro Denver.” Rutherford County is home to the largest state university in Tennessee, as well as Nissan’s North

Those two places have been in the back of my mind for the last 24-to-36 hours.” Goldsmith was one of three national site selection experts brought to the area by the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership to visit local developments and then give their opinions on how Adams County is doing — and what it can do better. This is the fourth time the partnership has hosted the summit in five years, with the event returning for 2021 after taking a break in 2020. The Partnership brought in three site selection experts from around the country July 19 through 22.

They included Goldsmith, Andy Shapiro, managing director of San Francisco’s Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Company LLC and Jerry Szatan of Chicago-based Szatan and Associates. All three are considered experts in helping large businesses find the best cities and communities around the country to expand their operations or to relocate. The group spent July 20 and 21 visiting a number of potential business magnets, ranging from Denver International Airport to the Colorado Air and Space Port and from Fitzsimmons Innovation Community to the Stanley Marketplaces. Their day culminated in a farm-totable dinner and reception hosted by Adams County at Riverdale Regional Park and the July 22 breakfast. Commerce City hosted the breakfast discussion at Dicks Sporting Goods Park, for county, municipal and economic development officials and business owners from around the region. For Szatan, it was his second Adams County Site Selectors Summit. He visited the area in 2017 and said it was good to come back and see what had changed, especially RTD’s N-Line rail that connects Northglenn, Thornton and Commerce City to downtown Denver. That project was in the works the last time he came but opened last summer. “The advantage for Adams County being linked to Denver is that if you have people that want to operate there, you have an alternative to driving,” Szatan said..”It’s a huge plus to have that network and the opening of the North line is one of those things that’s different today than when I was here four years ago.” The panel discussion was moderated by local attorney Carolynne White of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, who specializes in local development and urban renewal projects. After introductions, she asked the panel if the historical trends towards more office space centralized in big cities would continue in the wake of COVID-19, pandemic quarantines and the realization that working remotely is possible.

out. “I think this hybrid model is here to stay, with a balance between traditional in-office work and at home,” he said..”But what that is going to look like depends. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that a company in a hybrid situation still wants everyone to come to the office on Tuesdays. Well, then you still need to have an office big enough for
everyone. In that sense, the demand for office space won’t change. But we’ll have to see.” San Francisco-based Shapiro said the trend toward businesses moving to smaller communities began before COVID, so he expects that to continue. Business functions that might have been centered in large ”Tier 1 cities” like New York City or Chicago began migrating to smaller
Tier 2 cities like Denver years ago. “This has been going on for 20 years ago,” he said. ”COVID has accelerated a movement out of Tier 1 markets to Tier 2 cities and even to Tier 3 markets, smaller university towns and smaller state capitals that are amenity-rich but don’t have some of the big city problems. That will help them attract and retain talent.”

State won’t require masks for vaccinated students Some districts have already said they won’t mandate face coverings in the fall BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO
Colorado students, teachers, and school staff who are vaccinated won’t have to wear masks at school and won’t have to quarantine after COVID exposure, state health officials said in new guidance released for the 2021-22 school year. Masks are recommended — but not required — for people who are not vaccinated, which currently includes all children under 12. School districts could choose to set stricter policies. The recommendation matches school guidance released earlier this month by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Masking is an especially critical strategy when a community is at higher risk of transmission,” state health officials wrote. “Schools should create an accepting environment for parents and students who choose to use masks even when they are not required.” Some Colorado school districts have already announced they won’t require masks next year, while in others, officials said they were weighing their options and waiting for state guidance. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that everyone continue to wear masks in school settings to create more layers of protection. Particularly significant for school operations, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment no longer recommends that people who are exposed to COVID in a routine classroom setting quarantine at all — provided they weren’t engaged

hinder their community’s ability to vote together on issues of shared interest. Arvada Mayor Marc Williams spoke first, voicing his desire to keep Jefferson County cities in the same congressional district. “Arvada’s community of interest lies primarily with Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Edgewater and Westminster,” said Williams, “in other words, the Jefferson County cities. These are all Jeffco cities who will be getting a letter from the Jeffco mayors indicating a very unified voice that we think that we should all be in one congressional district. “And that’s because we work well together,” Williams continued. “We’ve worked together on the homelessness issue; we’ve done a great Navigator program that we’ve put together in Jefferson County to address that issue. We’re working on attainable housing. We also have common transportation issues… that commonality of interest is not something I want to lose.” Under the preliminary map proposal, Arvada would break from current CD7 and Jefferson County counterparts Lakewood, Wheat

in a higher risk activity like singing or contact sports and that their community has high vaccination rates and low community transmission. For much of last school year, classroom quarantines frequently disrupted in-person learning, leading some superintendents to call for the state to end the practice. In describing the shift, state public health officials said it’s important to keep children safe and healthy, but children’s well-being extends beyond the risk of COVID. “We want to make sure that schools remain a safe place, and this plan outlines ways to reduce potential transmission of COVID-19 in the school setting, while facilitating inperson learning,” CDPHE executive director Jill Hunsaker Ryan said in a press release announcing the new guidance. The state guidance, released July 20, calls for different approaches in communities with high vaccination rates and low community transmission and those with low vaccination

Ridge, Golden and Edgewater, among others. Ken Fellman, who served as mayor of Arvada from 1999 to 2007, wrote into the commission voicing his desire to keep Jefferson County communities of interest in the same congressional district. “The 7th Congressional District today,” said Fellman, “includes centers of aerospace, technology, environmental leadership and manu-
rates and high community transmission. COVID and vaccination rates vary significantly around the state. Mesa County, in particular, with vaccination rates around 42%, has become a hotspot for the Delta variant, and cases have strained hospital capacity there. But the guidance is just that — recommendations — and school districts and local public health agencies have the authority to set policy. “This guidance strongly recommends local leaders and school leaders take a layered approach to prevention,” health officials wrote, including ventilation, staying home when sick, and frequent hand-washing. “Communities with higher rates of transmission and low vaccination rates should continue to take heightened COVID-19 precautions. Local public health still has the authority to enforce local public health orders, which may include quarantine requirements.” The state no longer recommends quarantining of close contacts in school settings, even for unvaccinated students, in counties where at least 70% of eligible people have received at least one dose of the vaccine and case rates are not above 35 per 100,000 people in a seven-day period — or in school buildings with similarly high vaccination rates and a weekly testing regime. However, in counties and schools with lower vaccination rates, higher case rates, and no plan for frequent testing, state health officials continue to recommend quarantine for close contacts. The guidance also recommends that people exposed outside a school setting continue to quarantine. Large outbreaks or the emergence of new variants could also lead to quarantine requirements. The guidance cites contact sports, indoor sports, band and choir as activities that are higher risk and facturing in the communities that surround us from Westminster to Golden to Lakewood. Many Arvada businesses support these industries and even more Arvada residents work in these neighboring communities. Keeping these communities of interest together in one House district is critically important to all of us living here.” Red Rocks Community College President Michele Haney advocated for her own community of interest; the College’s two campuses, which would be split into separate congressional districts under the preliminary map proposal. “If you look at the preliminary maps,” said Haney, “they divide our campuses in two; Arvada in one district, Lakewood in another ... I would ask you to consider keeping the community of interest together, and keeping the Arvada and Lakewood campuses in one (district).” The meeting also saw many residents of Lakewood voicing their concern about the city’s grouping in the revamped CD7, which it would now share primarily with Douglas County cities Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker. “I reside in Lakewood,” said Sandie Weathers in an oral testimony. “Although most of the bonds I have made are in Lakewood, many of them have been made with folks
require special precautions, such as routine testing and quarantine after exposure. “During the spring 2021 semester, outbreaks of COVID 19 often originated with these groups of students T and then spread to the larger school community, disrupting learning,” S the guidance states. @ State health officials continue to E stress the importance of vaccinaP tion. Rates vary widely around the 3 state, and fewer than half of eligible students ages 12 to 18 are currently vaccinated, with just a few weeks to J go before school starts. State Epidemiologist Rachel Her- C lihy pointed to the steep decline in M hospitalizations and deaths in coun- @ ties with high vaccination rates. At G S the same time, she noted that schools serve a large unvaccinated population and will for many months to come. It’s not clear when vaccines for younger children will be approved by federal regulators. “Our unvaccinated Coloradans remain vulnerable to the new variants, especially the Delta variant, which appears to be more likely to make young people ill than previous variants,” she said in a statement. “Because many students have yet to be vaccinated and students under 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccine, we must continue to remain vigilant, take important mitigation steps that can reduce transmission of COVID-19, and address outbreaks in a safe and thoughtful manner.” To read the full guidance, go to C tinyurl.com/COSchoolGuidance. @ This story is from Chalkbeat Colo- A rado, a nonprofit news site covering S educational change in public schools.

Isolation breeds horror for Brighton in ‘Locust Rising’ Actors and film crews center suspense film in quaint neighborhood BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Something horrifying is underway in a quaint neighborhood in Brighton. “I watched over 300 horror movies during the pandemic to keep myself focused on the craft and the genre,” said Justin Adcock, executive producer, screenwriter and an actor in the new horror film centered in Brighton. The title of the film is “Locust Rising.” “It’s an unknown threat terrorizing a suburban neighborhood and its neighbors. So, people have to be very cautious from stepping outside. It could mean the ultimate demise due to this unknown threat, and it’s all about survival,” said director Bill Jack Myers. Sparrow Street Films- American Film and Television Studio specializes in horror films and is the brainchild of Adcock and Myers. “We started Sparrow Street Films Production Co. and are excited to bring the film to Colorado and to bring the spotlight here, to shine bright, and enjoy the experience of the film,” said Myers. Their film draws upon the sense

of isolation that became so common during the pandemic. “The residents of the neighborhood are trying to figure out how to survive, and there is hardly any food,” Adcock said. “It has a lot at play with relationships and with everything we went through over this past year in a half with the pandemic and being isolated and trapped. There are a lot of parts into play and the unknown threats terrorizing a suburban neighborhood. There is
something eating the neighbors.” Sparrow takes flight Adcock also cast himself in his films. Sparrow Street Films have eight films slated for pre-production and another to go out this year and later on. Adcock’s passion for movies started at a young age, growing up on a farm in Arizona where there was not much to do. He grew up living in the middle of nowhere and 17
miles from the nearest town. “So when VHS came to be, it was my recreation to rent movies, because we did not have cable where I grew up,” said Adcock. Adcock rented movies -- about three or four a week. He’s especially fond of Hitchcock but liked watching Siskel and Ebert’s “At the Movies” to learn criticism “It was just a hobby growing up in the absence of a lot of other things to out there,” Adcock said. Adcock began as a professional writer, actor and producer and also did theater and film working in Colorado for a while, before taking a hiatus to work in education with the public schools as a special ED teacher. He now works in administration. At a previous school, he met a teacher with some experience in film history and she said her husband, who turned out to be Myers, also was interested in working on films. “We got connected. I thought, ‘I’m not getting any younger and I might as well dust off my old talents and skills and bring them to life with Billy’s visions,’” said Adcock. That was a few years ago. Each has similar interests and ideas of what they wanted to do. Myers had worked on other film sets with friends. “My wife said, ‘I think you should talk to Justin,’ and so we connected SEE FILM, P9

and the rest is history,” Myers said. “It’s my first time as a director, and it’s my debut.” Bill Jack Myers is originally from Missouri and lived in Philadelphia for a while. He has lived in Colorado for more than 10 years. His story is similar to Adcock’s on how he got involved with the film. “I’ve just always had a love and a passion for film, and I grew up in the country as well watching lots of VHS movies, and any chance we got, we would go to the theater and watch the big screen,” said Myers.

2022 release? The goal was to try to wrap up the filming by July 18 and then begin post-production. That is when the footage is edited, visual effects are created and added, music is composed and the titles are finalized. “It could take from three months to six months unless things come up before it’s released, so it could be by the end of the year or early next year, “ said Myers. “It’s about timing once it is finished. We want to spend quality time in post to make sure get everything in line. It’s where the magic happens.”

Film and production crew Some of the film crew members are well-seasoned and have worked on more than 30 feature films. Others on the crew are working on the film for the first time. Myers said, “We’ve been blessed to have that opportunity to work with such a talented cast and crew.” Actor Isaac Stackonis is playing the role of Nash in the film, a psychotic sociopathic teenager who worms his way into the main family’s lives during the crazy event. Actor Yvon Crighton plays the role of Hebres, the pregnant wife of Adcock’s character, Cecil .

2021 Adams County Fair Guide
The Adams County Fair is almost as old as the county itself
he first official Adams County Fair was held in October 1904, but the fair and rodeo predate the formation of the county. The fair dates back to 1888, when monthly Market Days were held at the fairgrounds on the south edge of Brighton, which is the presentday site of the City of Brighton Government Center at 450 South 4th Avenue.
The monthly Market Day for farm produce and livestock was organized by Brighton founder Daniel F. Carmichael and other Brighton boosters. The site was a racetrack called Driving Park, where horse races and plowing races took place and cattle and horses were auctioned. The fairgrounds also were the site of July 4th celebrations for several years. The Platte Valley Farmers Association launched a fall fair in Brighton in 1892. The scope of this project was larger than ever before and embraced several counties. Buildings were erected at Driving Park to house exhibits. A 120’ x 32’ grandstand that could seat 500 people was built next to the racetrack with a fine arts hall underneath. A tent eight feet in diameter was constructed to shelter displays of agricultural products. Stalls for horses, sheds for cattle, and pens for hogs were built to the south of the racetrack. A long list of premiums and awards were donated by local businessmen, including the Fulton Ditch Company, Arapahoe County (which then included the area), and various Denver business firms. On October 5, 1892, the day the fair was to begin, Brighton was hit by a terrible rain storm and the fair was postponed. Fortunately, the storm
struck before the exhibits arrived, and the only real damage at the fairgrounds was to the tent, which was flattened by the high winds. The fair was finally held October 18-20. Tomato Day - Battle of Brighton
After the voters of Adams County chose Brighton as the permanent county seat, the fairgrounds were turned over to the newly formed Adams County Fair and Rodeo Association. The first Adams County Fair and Rodeo was held during the first week of October 1904. Opening day was known as Tomato Day and was the day with the best attendance. A noon barbecue was followed by a tomato contest called the Battle of Brighton. Two teams of eight contestants dressed in white represented
the Democratic and Republican opponents for county offices. The two teams lined up and faced each other in front of the grandstand. Each team member was given a box of ripe tomatoes, and on command they disposed of the fruit as quickly as possible by throwing it at the opposing team and occasionally the spectators. Read all about the tomato fights from a newspaper article dated October 2, 1904. The next year the popular event was held between teams from Brighton and Fort Lupton. Other events were wild-bronco riding, half-mile foot races, bicycle and motorcycle races, a mule race, horse races of various sorts, and a baby contest. Over the years famous or soon-to-befamous performers participated
in the rodeo, including African American cowboy Nat “Dead Wood” Dick Love, who once worked as a horse trainer at the Driving Park in Brighton. Growing fair
In 1964, the Adams County Board of County Commissioners decided to move the fair to the former site of the Denver Poor Farm near Henderson, where new facilities were constructed. The 4-H building was the only structure saved and moved to the new Adams County Regional Park. Thank you to Albin Wagner, the author of Adams County, Colorado - A Centennial History 1902-2002.

Adjusting to business side key for college success College means big focus on scholarships and money, especially for athletes BY BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For many, the switch from high school to college means an introduction into the world of checking accounts. But for high-school athletes making the switch to college sports, there’s a business side that must be considered, too. In general, college athletics are big business, especially if the sport of choice is football. College football pays for a good percentage of a school’s athletic budget, though postseason appearances — regardless of sport — don’t hurt that bottom line either. The result for new college athletes is a system foreign to newly minted, independent youngsters. NCAA Division I and II athletes can receive scholarships for tuition, books and fees. But NCAA rules prohibit “payfor-play” arrangements. The debate on that score will continue for years. But, for now, it also leaves athletes in the position of being unpaid revenue-makers of universities with the same responsibilities as the paid coaches and assistants. A recent Supreme Court decision allows athletes to earn money for use of their likeness. Last week, the former high-school athletes talked about their adjustments to life as college athletes. This week, the topic is the business and academic side of college sports. Business is in the eye of the beholder Frederick High School alum Davis Richard’s thoughts about business ties to college athletics were succinct. “It is definitely more like a business than high school. But at the end of the day, it’s still basketball,”
From left, Marivel Marquez, Antonio Marquez and coach Karch Hickman
said Richard, who played at Central Wyoming Community College. To fellow Frederick High School graduate Blake Duran, now playing football at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota, college sports felt like a business. To a point. “It can feel like a job sometimes, but the fun that comes along overcomes that for me,” he said. “It’s a lot to handle, being in college and especially as a student-athlete. You definitely need some time management.” That piece of college life involves going to class, going to practice, taking a shower and doing homework. “It can definitely be exhausting at points. You don’t really have any down time during the week,” he said. Brighton High School graduate Ivan Scarpino, who wound up playing football at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, said his school did “a good job” of guiding athletes through coronavirus and all
its effects. Tori Haug, BHS grad who played softball at Lakeland College, saw a smaller business side to college athletics. “Based on high school to college athletics college seems to be more of a business experience than high school, but only when talking about scholarships,” she said. “Other than that, everything is the same. You’re still playing the game, going to school and meeting new people.” BHS grad Abigail Read agreed. She’s running cross country at Metropolitan State University in Denver. “There are some business aspects. But as an athlete, I don’t feel that,” she said. “The coaches do a really good job of keeping us as athletes focused on running while they take care of the more business stuff.” For Fort Lupton’s Antonio Marquez, who’s running track and cross country at Western State University in Gunnison, college athletics didn’t feel like a business at all. “The other runners around me
think the same as me,” he said. “They love working hard, chilling and, most importantly, winning. Without them, then it would feel a little like a business, but I do get some of the best opportunities. such as running in one of the most beautiful places in the world, working out with some of the best talent and I get the opportunity to do something special with running.” Willing to work? BHS alum Isaiah Madril, who went to the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa, to play football, said college athletics felt like more of a business to him. “If you aren’t willing to work and be dedicated to your craft, then college isn’t for you,” he said. “More than half of my days are taken up by football, whether it is the weekends or weekdays.” “College football is completely a business until you sign with a SEE COLLEGE, P24

school,” said Frederick High School grad Lucas Dunker. He transferred to be a place-kicker at Washington State University. “Once you sign, you have a whole community of people welcoming you in with open arms.” Wrestler Jacob Duran, who moved from Fort Lupton High School to the University of Northern Colorado, left no doubt at all that wrestling is a full-time job. “In wrestling season, if you have a job and completing both studies and athletics at the same time, that shows dedication for what you really want in life,” he said. “Because fitting all three would definitely be a struggle but still completely possible.” Prairie View alum Kyle Melvin, who went on to play college baseball at Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California, said parts of the experience feel like a job in terms of time and effort spent. “But with it being something I love to do and it being another way I can glorify God, it is a job I’m always wanting to do,” he said. BHS grad Nate Griffeth, whose football season at Luther College in Iowa was wiped out by coronavirus,
said college athletics felt like a business. “It takes a lot to build a successful team, and in order to do that, we are constantly in meetings talking about game plans and watching film, always trying to improve,” Griffeth said. “Everything we do either in lifting and practice has a specific purpose to make us better and be prepared for whoever we’re playing that week.” Study assistance Duran’s team takes in study tables twice a week for two hours a night. “This definitely helps because it gives us a chance to do homework with no distractions to ensure that we get our work done,” he said. “We also have a team academic coordinator who knows as soon as we miss class or an assignment, so it’s nice knowing someone can help if you slack off.” Scarpino has something similar at his school. “My team has weekly meetings where we share our goals and exactly how we are going to accomplish them,” he said. “Position coaches always check in on players about grades, and the college has a lot of resources for help too.” Haug said academic help is available any time. “If an athlete is struggling in a class, our coach and our teammates
are always willing to help get us back on track as well as our professors,” she said. Griffeth said his team has weekly meetings with position coaches to talk about the coming week in academics. “And we have a calendar that we put all the upcoming assignments we have so we don’t fall behind,” Griffeth said. “And at the beginning of the semester, we set academic goals such as GPA. Marquez said his team does the most it can to help him academically. That includes mandatory study hall twice a week. “The other runners, coaches, and aid care about the team having good grades,” Marquez said. “Coaches will check your grades often and will definitely talk to you about your grades. My teammates have a meeting where we talk about our goal as a team. One of the most used statements is having good grades.” The team goal is a grade-point average of 3.2. Marquez thought the GPA for the first semester was 3.5. “So definitely having the influence around me works,” he said. “Also having that extra aid helps so much, to have a tutor at every study hall, and you can call or text them if you really need help.” Melvin’s team set a standard of reaching a 3.0 or higher grade-point average.
“And we really push each other to reach it,” Melvin said. “Our coach makes sure to move our practices around our classes so we don’t miss them.” “My coaches have been able to help us to keep on our studies to be eligible and able to play,” Richard said. Those on Read’s team with low grades wind up in mandatory study hall. “It is different than high school because the coaches expect you to take care of your stuff as well as the professors,” she said. “But there are still grade checks and expectations. They just aren’t talked about like in high school.” Dunker meets with his football academic adviser at least twice a week. He also has access to open tutors “whenever I need it.” Madril’s school provides a twoday-a-week study hall for all college athletes. “We have free tutors waiting to help,” he said. “In college, there should be no way you should fail because there are so many resources.” Jacob Duran’s academic requirements include a mandatory six hours of study hall. One-third of that involves the whole team; the rest is up to the individual team members. “If not, the team will get it,” Duran laughed.

Study focuses on bald eagle boom Front Range corridor includes nests of birds once rare in the state BY KYLE COOKE AND CLARISSA GUY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
It’s no secret that the human population on Colorado’s Front Range is expanding. State officials predict that in the 10-year range from 2019 to 2029, Colorado will grow by more than 800,000 people, with about 87% of them settling in the Front Range. More perplexing, however, is that another population is growing in that same densely populated urban corridor: bald eagles. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the whole state of Colorado had just three known bald eagle nests by the end of the 1970s. Today, the state is home to more than 200 nests — some in “unconventional” locations, like the Front Range. This could explain why people who frequent Denver’s City Park have become accustomed to seeing bald eagles in the area. “We know that our population of eagles has increased in this area,” said Reesa Conrey, an avian researcher with CPW. “And we know that our population of humans is also increasingly very rapidly.” CPW is embarking on a four-year study to learn why these eagles — the national bird of the United
States — are settling in urban areas that are often disrupted by construction and other human activity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies also are participating in the study, which will be the “most comprehensive bald eagle monitoring project ever done by CPW,” according to a news release. According to CPW officials, Colorado’s eagle population declined in the mid-20th century due to human disturbance, loss of habitat, and DDT, a pesticide that poisoned the birds and made their egg shells extra thin. The egg shells “often broke during incubation or otherwise failed to hatch,” according to the USFWS. DDT was banned in 1972, and the eagle population nationwide rebounded as a result to the point that in 2007, the iconic birds were removed from the endangered species list. (Eagles are still protected under both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.) Despite all the development on the Front Range since the 1970s, the state has also made it an easier place to settle with the construction of reservoirs. The first bald eagle nest in the Front Range was established in Barr Lake State Park in Adams County in 1986, Conrey said. Storms destroyed that nest and six others over the course of many years, including a nest in 2021. The eagles are cur-

urban areas as well as better understand the birds’ tolerance to human activity. Conrey said she also hopes the results will help the state give “better recommendations to developers, consultants [and] the general public to make sure that eagles are being managed properly and will continue to be successful here.” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.

rently rebuilding their nests at Barr Lake. For this research project, CPW is using GPS transmitters to track the eagles in the northern Front Range. According to CPW, “results from the monitoring effort will be used to model the bald eagle population trajectory and expected impacts of predicted future land use change. Biologists will then make data-driven recommendations on minimizing and mitigating disturbances of the bald eagle’s environment essential to its survival.” Researchers hope the data will help them identify ways to preserve and develop ideal eagle habitat in

Taking a look at Mount Evans’ new reservation system Rangers and many guests say new system for fee sights is working well BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The night before Lakewood’s Joyce and Steve Koenig visited Mount Evans with their daughter and her boyfriend, they went to recreation.gov and purchased a vehicle ticket. On July 22, the Koenigs and hundreds of others visited the Mount Evans Scenic Byway, stopping at Mount Goliath, Summit Lake and/ or the summit parking lot along the way. Many of the parked vehicles had various tags or reservation receipts displayed on their front dashboard or windshield — proof that they were OK to park at a given fee area. When the scenic byway reopened for vehicle traffic on June 4, the U.S. Forest Service and its partners instituted a timed-entry reservation system for those parking in any fee areas between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The road itself is free to drive on, although motorists are asked to stop at the welcome station first. More than 700 vehicles have opted for a driveonly experience thus far this summer. USFS spokeswoman K. Reid Armstrong said the new system, which is on a trial basis for the summer, has been working well thus far. It’s reduced parking issues and overcrowding at the trailheads, she said,
and there’s been less resource damage throughout the area. It’s also alleviated a lot of moneyhandling at the welcome station, helping vehicles to get onto the scenic byway more quickly, she said. In fact, Armstrong said USFS saw more vehicle ticket sales in June 2021 than in June 2019 — 12,191 versus 10,783. However, she said the June 2021 numbers could include people buying for July dates in advance, as the site allows sales up to a month ahead of time. She said the USFS will have a better idea of overall traffic counts and usage at the end of the season, and it and other agencies will decide over the fall and winter whether to continue the reservation system next summer. As the Koenigs stood in the summit parking lot, Joyce said she was neutral about the U.S. Forest Service’s new reservation system. When she first heard about it, she thought it would be difficult; but, it was ultimately painless when the family bought the ticket the night before. She recalled when she and Steve visited Mount Evans two years ago, and the couple found the last spot available at the summit parking lot. “I can see why they’re doing it,” she said. However, Joyce added that she dislikes needing to make a reservation during a visit to public lands. If someone comes to visit her last-minute, it’s harder to take them to Mount Evans or Rocky Mountain National Park if she needs to make a reservation beforehand, she described.

Steve said he generally felt positive toward the new reservation system at Mount Evans, but he hoped it would get back to the point where it wasn’t necessary anymore. Ryan Moats of Highlands Ranch, who was also in the summit parking lot after hiking to the top with his church group, said he thought the online reservation system was easy and self-explanatory. He made his reservation about a week in advance, explaining that his group bought a three-day pass and would be using it all three days. Moats, who was visiting the peak for the first time, said: “It was good to know we’d have a (parking) spot.” One reviewer on the recreation.gov site wasn’t so happy with the new arrangement. A Brian A. left a one-star review on the site, stating “It’s JUST AS CROWDED AS EVER….but this time I had to pay. That’s a lousy deal!”
This is exactly what happened when Chicago’s Prasanthi Konakandla arrived at the welcome station on July 22. The USFS staff member gave her instructions on where and how to make an online reservation, and it was overall a fairly easy process once she got started, she said. Konakandla described two small issues, though. First, she didn’t know which type of ticket to buy. There’s a vehicle ticket for all recreation sites, one for Mount Goliath and the summit area, and then one for Summit Lake only. The second issue was that she had to register with the system, putting in her email address and other information, rather than simply purchasing it. Konakandla also mentioned that, while the process was relatively easy for her, it might be difficult for those who aren’t as tech-savvy or don’t have smartphones.
