This year, the average use is half that at 14 million gallons. “So far, this has been a really good year,” Redd said. “We have a lot more moisture than last year. Our water demand is down and
With the new school year only weeks away, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties are seeing the signs of an upswing in rates of new COVID-19 cases, according to a news release from Tri-County Health Department. “Two connected factors are responsible for the increase in new cases: individuals who remain unvaccinated and the highly contagious Delta variant,” the health agency wrote in the news release. In parallel with trends across the U.S. and Colorado, new cases of COVID-19 have increased in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the past month, according to TriCounty, which is the local public health agency for the three counties. “While the overall rates are much lower than they were in April thanks to those who have been fully vaccinated against the virus, this recent increase in cases is concerning especially with school beginning in the next few weeks,” the agency added. Schools will likely return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements next month. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released new P-12

Shake Shack coming to Park Meadows Location to offer patio dining, sell alcoholic beverages BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Shake Shack is joining the list of food joints at Park Meadows mall, bringing not only an outdoor patio dining section but also the only alcoholic-beverage options to the shopping center’s food hall. “Just giving another twist to the way you can dine,” Park Meadows Senior General Manager Pam Kelly said. The site is under construction, converting a former food hall seating section into a food stand designed for Shake Shack, including pedestal ordering stations. The burger chain will be located next to the food hall entrance. Kelly said Park Meadows expects Shake Shack to open in September or October. The restaurant chain owned by famed restaurateur Danny Meyer began as a hot dog stand near New York City’s Madison Square Park in 2001, according

fore,” she said. The Lone Tree City Council approved a beer and wine liquor license for Shake Shack on July 20. The restaurant will not serve hard liquor, but patrons can drink beers and wine in the patio area. Alcohol will not be permitted outside of the Shake Shack patio or elsewhere in the food hall. Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said during council’s discussion the city takes liquor licenses seriously and asked what protocols Shake Shack would implement to prevent underage drinking. Management told council all staff will be trained in checking licenses, among other state liquor license requirements; customers will be instructed in where they can carry the alcohol; and mall security will be briefed on what the restaurant’s cups and supplies look like.

Lone Tree couple runs all over the world Marathons have allowed Sorensens to jump from continent to continent BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Carol and Steve Sorensen on what they call the “hill from hell,” the steepest road in COURTESY PHOTO the Southern Hemisphere at around 40 degrees.
When Steve Sorensen set a goal to run a marathon before turning 60, he and his wife, Carol, had no idea it would lead to them running in major races across multiple continents. Since 2013, the Lone Tree couple has run all over the world. The couple ran with wildebeests, rhinos and zebras in South Africa, watched nearby penguins as they ran in Antarctica and saw many of the Seven Wonders of the World as their trek to run in every continent has continued. Carol said when her husband first started talking about wanting to run a marathon as a 60th-birthday milestone, she had no interest in participating since she had already run in a marathon. However, when Steve reached his first goal, he started researching and learning more about races held all over the world, Carol said she was not about to miss out on the opportunity to travel and see amazing things even if it meant more running. “When we started looking at running in every continent, I had no idea where you would run in places like Africa or Asia,” Carol said.
The couple agreed that one of the most amazing and hard runs was the Big 5 race in South Africa. Calling it the “hill from hell,” to reach the finish line, the couple had to run up one of the steepest roads in the Southern Hemisphere. Besides getting up the steep hill, Steve said it was fascinating to look around and see a herd of wildebeests running. The couple said there was some anxiety as local officials kept watch over lions nearby. In Paris, the race started at the Arc de Triomphe, running down the entirety of the Champs-Élysées, past the Louvre, Norte Dame, the Bastille, into the Bois de Vincennes. They continued back on the Rive Gauche, passing Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, Les Invalides and into the Bois de Boulogne. In the shadows, the Eiffel Tower could be seen throughout the entire marathon. “For us, it has really become all about the experience and seeing the world,” said Carol, 55. “You find that there is a true community around running once you get into it. We have truly met some of the most amazing people.” To date, the couple has reached their goal, racing in North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Europe, Antarctica and Africa. With each continent, Carol said they had to the rely on the training they were able to do in Colorado, finding a few surprises along the way. SEE COUPLE, P5

Besides the tough hill climb in Africa, the couple said they were surprised at the climate in Antarctica, expecting it to be colder. “You think you are going to be freezing the entire time and it is really not,” Carol said. “You do have to run on river rock and unstable areas. You do all this in moments where the sun is shining one moment and then snow is falling the next.” Steve and Carol said they have gained so much in learning about the food and culture in every location. In one marathon, Carol and Steve ran around Buddhist temples where they saw the locals plowing fields with oxen. “Just understanding the splendor of running among these 2,000 Buddhist temples was amazing,” Steve said. “The people here have a love and care for everything.” Steve said the children in the area saw Carol and ran up to her, giving her handfuls of wildflowers. Steve joked that one child gave him one flower. “There is a true human connection with the people you run with and the people you connect with in every place,” Carol said. “It really gets you out of your comfort zone to open your mind and see the world through a totally different lens.” Carol and Steve, both retirees from the corporate world, said they will continue to participate in as many races in other countries and here in the U.S. as they can. Along the way, Steve started a photography business to sell images and document the journey.

that is exactly what we need.” Besides having more moisture this spring, Redd said he thinks lower water use is due to residents becoming more vigilant in conserving water, and he added that Parker Water has added more infrastructure, including drilling two wells. He said Parker Water has been proactive in creating renewable water resources to mitigate drought conditions. Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe said this is the first summer the town is using the reusable water supply. In 2006, the town invested $208 million to build the reusable water facility. Water started pumping into residents’ homes early this year. Because of the renewable water source, Marlowe said as the highuse water months continue, Plum Creek resources are “holding up well.” “We have been able to utilize renewable water because the creek is running well,” he said. “Reusable water tends to be more drought resistant, and it does not depend on rainfall. It is water we have already used that will be put back into the system. It is a reliable source, especially during a drought.” With hot, dry weather coming in July and August, Marlowe said the wet spring helped this year. SEE WATER, P7

Both Marlowe and Redd said groundwater supplies are also in good shape for both districts. They agreed that even though water supplies are in good shape this year, residents should not become complacent, because supplies in other parts of the state do have a local impact. “Douglas County is not in a drought,” Marlowe said. “But water shortages in other parts of the state are a concern. We want people to continue using water efficiently and not waste water.” On July 1, Gov. Jared Polis declared a drought emergency for western Colorado. The drought conditions on the Western Slope matter to local communities participating the WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Water program.
The primary source of water for WISE is from the South Platte River, north of Aurora. Most of this water is reuse water from the Aurora’s Prairie Waters system and is combined with water from the Rocky Mountains. Marlowe said when it comes to WISE water, as other parts of the state suffer worse drought conditions, Aurora and Denver’s water rights trump Castle Rock and Parker. Marlowe said WISE water is an interrupted water source. “If it gets bad enough on the West Slope, Aurora and Denver can interrupt our water supplies,” Marlowe said. “Right now, it is not a huge issue, but it is something we need to keep in mind.” With July being designated as Water Efficiency Month, all water districts along the Front Range have encouraged residents to get educated on how to be more water efficient. Customers of Parker Water can visit the website at pwsd.org.

ome of you might remember radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. He always ended his daily program with two words. “Good day.” Hippies turned that into “Have a nice day.” Then “Have a good day” came along. Then “Have a good rest of the day.” And now, as I live and breathe, “Have a great rest of the day” was wished upon me at a hardware store by a young woman who said the same thing to the customer ahead of me and the one that followed me. I felt special knowing she had composed that thought just for the three of us. Whatever happened to “Thank you”? “Have a great rest of the day,” if examined, broken down, analyzed, borders on a command and practically chokes on its own hyperbole. Waiting around the bend is “Have a mind-blowing rest of the day,” and “Have an out-of-this-world rest of the day.” I thought about asking the young woman if she was referring to my afternoon nap, but decided she wouldn’t get it. In other words, my “rest” of the day. We do like to exaggerate, don’t we? For a while, I was receiving emails from someone who ended every sentence with

an interruption, annoyance, nuisance or exasperation. Ten days after the Fourth, some of my beloved neighbors were still shooting off fireworks. Maybe if I were in a home with Harry next to a lake with the regional birds filling the air with song, I might have a great rest of the day. But here in the trenches it’s a project just getting to that hardware store and back without witnessing a near accident or being involved in one. As I have said before, there’s a major intersection near me where you can always pick up some spare automobile parts. Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days at Walden Pond in a 15-by-10-foot cabin he built for himself. Good for him. But he was eaten up by mosquitoes and was constipated half the time. Harry just walked into the office with a familiar look on his face. It’s time for our rest of the day.

Anyone else but me
ou will make a lousy anybody else, but you will be the best ‘you’ in existence.” — Zig Ziglar Many of us daydream or fantasize about being someone else. Did you ever look at someone else’s life and wish that you could have their physique, home, money, car or job? I think at some point in life, maybe we have all entertained thoughts about being someone different or having something that we did not already own. Some of us may have only had a fleeting moment of daydreaming or fantasizing about this. Others of us may spend way too much time coveting what others have. A few of us may even become consumed with an imaginary life lived as someone else. We drift away, wanting to be anyone else but ourselves, or trade what we have for what other people have. When I was a kid, we vacationed at the Jersey Shore. It was typically in a very small bungalow with lots of other family members and friends popping in and out during the week. It was cramped, usually just one bathroom, and people sleeping on every bed, couch, cot and surface area of the tiny house. I look back on those weeks with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins and remember them as some of the best vacations of my life.

The recent All-Star baseball game in Denver was a bore, but the hoopla that went on before, during and after it made up for a sport that, sadly, has become a stranger to me. It’s all home runs and strikeouts. The Dodgers hit eight home runs in a game against the Diamondbacks. That’s Little League stuff. Subtlety is a lost art. Art is a lost art. Look for the grand opening of Meow Wolf in downtown Denver. It’s “interactive art for all ages.” We used to call those “fun houses” at the circus. Interactive means the art doesn’t just stay there on the wall and mind its own business like a Picasso or a Rembrandt. It jumps around or jumps at you and makes your head spin. Just what I’m looking for. Let’s get back to “Have a great rest of the day.” I’d settled for ten great minutes. Modern life doesn’t allow (me) to have up to twelve hours that are unbroken by
But at the time, I also remember wishing I could be going on the vacations that my friends were going on. Even if they came to the same area, they were staying at a much bigger home or nice hotel. Did I mention that they had air conditioning in those nicer homes and hotel rooms? Yes, not only did I want to be my friends, but I wanted their air conditioning too. I think “Thou shalt not covet your friend’s air conditioning” may even be a commandment. Still, looking back on it today, I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. The quote by Zig Ziglar that started this column is something that I learned from him many years ago. And it helped me to really focus on being the best “me” in existence. It helped me to measure success on my own terms, not defined or measured by others. If I didn’t like who I was, where I was, or what I was doing, I learned that I didn’t have to sit back and wish I could be someone else or have what others have, I could change who I was and what I was doing and go out and earn what it was that I wanted. Another lesson I learned that has really helped me and that I have shared with others is this: Instead of looking on in envy or jealousy when someone in our family or circle of friends has just met with success or seems to be doing better than we are,
try congratulating them, sharing in their joy and excitement. Even if it is a perfect stranger who just won the lottery, we can allow our hearts to be happy for them, truly happy. The thing is this: Sometimes what we see on the outside is not what is really happening on the inside. The people we fantasize about being may have more troubles and heartache going on in their life than we can see. The possessions they have may come with extraordinary debt. So, before we look to be someone else, or have what they have, the better move is to appreciate who we are and what we have already. And if change is needed, we can go work on what it is that we need to change. We all have a choice to make. We can change and grow, breaking the status quo if we are unhappy. Or we can simply choose to continue as-is, wishing we were anyone else but ourselves, and do nothing. I would love to hear your best “you” in existence story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when you realize that you are the best “you” in existence, it really will be a better than good year.

school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts. That means local health agencies, such as Tri-County, and school districts will decide for themselves what precautions to enforce. Tri-County Health will “strongly encourage” mask-wearing in indoor settings for those not fully
vaccinated, but the agency is not planning to require it at this point, said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health. Cherry Creek School District planned to announce final plans for any COVID-19 precautions the week of July 26, after Colorado Community Media’s press deadline. Regardless of the new state guidance, state law gives local and state public health officials the authority to implement isolation and quarantines to slow or stop the spread of disease, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department.

Local health agencies, school districts to choose what COVID-19 restrictions to implement BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With weeks until the upcoming school year, Tri-County Health Department — the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — says it plans not to require masks for unvaccinated individuals in schools. “We strongly encourage maskwearing in indoor settings for those not fully vaccinated,” said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health. “However, (we) are not planning to require it at this point.” Schools will likely return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements in August. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released new P-12 school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts. That means local health agencies — such as Tri-County — and school districts will decide for themselves what precautions to enforce. Tri-County Health will continue to require quarantining of close contacts — those within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more — for anyone exposed to a person with COVID-19 in a non-classroom setting, Douglas said. But this year, contact tracing is not required in the classroom setting, in order to prioritize in-person learning, Douglas said. Contact tracing is a term for when public health workers notify people that they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. Any standards that school districts or local health officials implement for quarantines are
likely to be looser than they were last school year, based on the new state guidance. In Tri-County’s jurisdiction, students who are exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom will not be required to quarantine from school except in instances that are high risk: unmasked direct contact in sports, choir or with medically fragile students, Douglas said. “All students and staff that are exposed should still monitor closely for symptoms and are not permitted to attend school if they develop symptoms. Testing, isolation and symptom-screening are still required before symptomatic staff and students can return back to school,” Douglas said. Individual cases and potential outbreaks of COVID-19 — and all reportable medical conditions — are still required to be reported to public health officials, Douglas said. Tri-County Health “will monitor cases and work with schools to implement additional mitigation measures such as masking, social distancing, contact-tracing and quarantine in the setting of an outbreak,” Douglas said. “These recommendations will only be required if the outbreak is high risk (or) severe or the school is not participating in the investigation and mitigation.” For schools, a confirmed outbreak is defined as five or more cases of COVID-19, of which at least one case has had a positive molecular amplification test or antigen test, among students, teachers or staff from separate households with onset within 14 days in a single classroom or activity or other close contact in the school setting — including transportation to or from school and affiliated events, according to the state’s definition. See more information on Colorado’s updated definition of COVID-19 outbreaks at tinyurl. com/ColoradoCOVIDoutbreak on page 6. Alternatives for indoor activities or school events may be recommended or required depending on the severity of an outbreak, Douglas said.
“Public health officials will work with schools to ensure that these measures are used as needed to protect the health of the employees and students in these settings, which also provides broader protection to the community at large,” the center said in a statement. But any standards that school districts or local health officials implement for quarantines are likely to be looser than they were last school year, based on the new state guidance. Hospitalized mostly unvaccinated As of July 22, in Adams County, the seven-day incidence rate of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people was 69, according to TriCounty’s news release. That represents an increase of 155% since June 26, according to Tri-County. Arapahoe and Douglas counties have experienced increases of 70% and 65% over the same period, Tri-County said. The majority of new cases are among individuals who are not fully vaccinated, according to TriCounty. And since March, “95% of individuals hospitalized in our counties had not been fully vaccinated, similar to the pattern being seen across the state and nation,” Tri-County said in the release. The Delta variant, which is more
contagious than the strain circulating last winter and could cause more severe illness according to recent studies, is responsible for approximately 90% of all cases in Colorado, according to Tri-County. “It is understandable that some people may still have concerns about getting vaccinated after hearing a lot of misinformation on the internet and social media,” Douglas, the health chief, said in the release. “However, the threat from the Delta variant to unvaccinated persons is real, serious and growing, so each day of delay can increase your risk of getting sick from COVID-19. If you’re unsure, talk with your health care provider to help answer questions in the context of your personal health.”
Where to get vaccinated COVID-19 vaccinations are available at many locations nearly every day in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Tri-County Health’s COVID-19 vaccines webpage lists clinics by day of the week in a calendar format as well as by location in a map. That’s located at tchd.org/866/COVID-19-Vaccine.

OBITUARIES GRIGGS
Jeanette Martha Griggs 7/9/1940 - 7/5/2021
Jeanette Martha (de Vries) Griggs, 80, passed away at her home on Tuesday, July 5th, 2021 after a valiant battle with cancer. Jeanette, lovingly known as Jan, was born on July 9th, 1940 on her family’s farm in Ada, Minnesota. She was the first of three children born to Peter and Eleanor (Benesh) de Vries. Jan and her family developed strong bonds working together on the family farm. The grit, resilience, humility, and devotion she showed so many people during her lifetime became forged during her childhood. Jan was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Alvin Griggs. An educator and social servant for over 50 years, Jan was highly respected by her peers, students, and community at large. She was a calm and strong leader, serving as the President of the Teachers Association in Elizabeth, Colorado. She also was a technology and science delegate representing the school district on multiple occasions. She established and ran rocket clubs for over 30 years, taking students several times to Cape Canaveral. Counted among her students are multiple business owners, medical professionals, educators, and people who serve others. It was very common for past students to maintain close ties with her over the years. She was a lifelong supporter of the Elizabeth
community, serving as a deacon for her Elizabeth Presbyterian Church, and continuing to frequent Elizabeth businesses after moving to Parker. In her early years as a high school and college student at Moorhead University in Minnesota, she was a Girl’s State representative and participant in several beauty contests. A caring family member, she was a consistent source of acceptance, humor, wisdom, and strength for everyone. As a result, she was the bedrock upon which many family successes were achieved. She also counted many of her friends and neighbors as additional family. She loved animals. As a child she participated in and won 4-H competitions. Later in life she raised and showed both dogs and quarter horses. A passionate supporter of animals, she adopted 5 dogs and two cats. Her last adopted dog, Buddy, was very close to her heart. Jan is survived by her brother Dr. Gordon de Vries (wife Mary) residing in Brainerd, Minnesota; sister Colleen de Vries, son Clark Griggs, granddaughter Lauren Griggs, and grandson Dain Griggs, all residing in Parker, Colorado. Jeanette’s family, friends, church members, and neighbors will miss her vitality, smiles, hugs, wit, and constant love and support.

Game offers fun in the outdoors — or indoors BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
hether it’s quality time with the family, date night or visiting with friends, miniature golf is flexible enough to fit any framework. Players described how miniature golf can be as casual or as competitive as they want. They can play it outside or inside, depending on the course. Miniature golf is affordable and lowstress, while also serving as a good test of control and problem-solving, they explained. “The short game matters,” said Corey Whitlock, assistant manager at Adventure Golf & Raceway in Westminster. “It seems simple, but each hole is a different challenge. ... There’s nothing better than getting a hole in one.” Plus, it only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to play a course, which is the perfect amount of time for young children, as it’s not too long or too short, said Centennial resident Liz Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick and her three children were visiting Colorado Journey Miniature Golf at Cornerstone Park in Englewood, which they visit it multiple times a year. They appreciate its creative designs, with 9-year-old Jameson saying that he likes how most of the holes are easy. Keagan Patrick, who works at Spooky Mini Golf inside Colorado Mills mall in Lakewood, said he grew up playing with his family, and now plays rounds with friends. Like Whitlock, he appreciates how the basic concept is simple, but the holes are ultimately trickier than they look. Sometimes, the course is literally filled with surprises. Littleton residents James and Melesse Sanders, 12 and 14, described how they enjoyed the fire effects and water effects while playing at Adventure Golf for the first time with their grandma. It was a good mix of exciting and relaxing, said the children and their grandmother, Connie “Nana” Porter of Littleton. Most importantly, though, it’s a good way to spend time together as a family, Littleton resident Jessica Berg said while playing with her loved ones at Colorado Journey. Playing the course Local miniature golf courses also have creative themes and obstacles, golfers said, whether they’re based in history, horror, fantasy or adventure. Berg commented how she appreciates the Colorado history theme at Colorado Journey. The two 18-hole courses feature Colorado landmarks at each hole, such as a standing structure of the Cripple Creek Mine that golfers can hit their balls through to potentially get a hole in one. Spooky Mini Golf, which is across the street from the movie theater at Colorado Mills, has a very different vibe. The indoor course features glow-in-the-dark golf balls and a variety of scary decorations and animatronics, which Patrick said might be a little much for very young children. However, brave golfers will enjoy putting around ghosts, ghouls, dragons, giant spiders and other frights. SEE MINI GOLF, P13

initial COVID-19 restrictions were rolling back, miniature golf was among the few night-out activities that were open. Considering that many courses are outdoors and groups could social-distance between holes, many took advantage. Jeremy Kopischke, special facilities coordinator for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, which operates Colorado Journey, said the miniature golf course experienced an increase in non-resident use last year. Whitlock said Adventure Golf had a different dynamic last year, simply because of the capacity restrictions. However, it also saw the
range of customers it could have and now is starting to see with the capacity restrictions lifted. “People drove 30 or 40 minutes to get out of the house and play as a family,” Whitlock said of last summer. Now, Colorado Journey has been busier than ever this summer, with a steady stream of guests and bookings for large groups and birthday parties, Kopischke said. Whitlock said he and his colleagues at Adventure Golf are likewise thankful to be getting back to the norm, adding that it was very rewarding to see that the demand for miniature golf would always be there.

There are also additional opportunities listed on the state’s webpage at covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine/ where-you-can-get-vaccinated. Individuals can also check with their own doctor, a local clinic, grocery or big-box store, or pharmacy nearby at vaccinespotter.org/CO. Until a person’s vaccination is complete, Tri-County Health says to wear a mask indoors when around people who are from another household and to stay 6 feet apart from others when out in public, especially indoors. While more than 70% of adults age 18 and up who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Colorado have been vaccinated, those who have not been vaccinated remain vulnerable to illness, hospitalization and even death, Tri-County noted. “Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way to protect yourself against this virus, especially with the more contagious Delta variant circulating,” Douglas said in the release. “Each of the vaccines available are very effective. Everyone 12 and older who can get vaccinated should do so now — for themselves and their families and friends. Vaccinated people also protect those who cannot get vaccinated, such as children under 12 years of age, or those with weaker immune systems for whom vaccine protection may be reduced.”

Young played last fall on Valor Christian state championship team. “I try to play around five times a week and when I’m not playing, I’m practicing,” Young continued. “This is the biggest tournament (of the summer),” added Everett, who is a junior at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch. “So this will be the highlight of the summer.” Other golfers from the south metro area who are registered to compete in the boys 16-18 division include Cherry Creek junior Charlie Flaxbeard of Greenwood Village, Ryan SEE GOLF, P17

MARCHANDO FROM PAGE 16
Community service is where Marchando is most proud of her time at Mines. The college graduate said four years in Golden taught her a lot about the importance of giving back to the community and spreading knowledge through various mentorship programs. Marchando said she worked a lot with young female students, encouraging them to take up science and engineering programs. “I really believe it is important to talk to our youth about how important engineering and STEM programs can be,” she said. “When you are attending college, you realize the importance of getting involved on campus and getting into the community to make a positive impact.”
Sydney Marchando graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. After graduation, the decorated student moved to Boston where she is working towards a graduate degree in biomedical engineerCOURTESY PHOTO ing.
Moving forward, Marchando said her academic career is not over. This fall, she will enter a graduate program to major in biomedical engineering in Boston.

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.” SEE EAGLES, P23

EAGLES FROM PAGE 22
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 hu-
man 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 currently 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 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.
