Lawsuit challenges red flag law Opponents say measure was passed unconstitutionally

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A leading pro-gun organization says Colorado’s red flag bill signed into law less than a month ago was not passed in accordance with rules laid out in the state Constitution — and they’re taking that argument to court with the hope a judge declares the law void altogether.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, along with House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, and state Reps.

Lori Saine, R- Firestone, and Dave Williams, R- Colorado Springs, are plaintiffs in a lawsuit Rocky Mountain Gun Owners filed in Denver District Court on May 2. Gov. Jared Polis is listed as the sole defendant.

“Democrats used illegal and unconstitutional tactics and methods to push a bill that would remove due process rights of our citizens,” said Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Executive Director Dudley Brown. “If a judge agrees with us, the Constitution will throw this law out and effectively

Dudley Brown, executive director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, announces the organization will file suit against Colorado’s red flag law.

JESSICA GIBBS kill the red flag bill.”

Article V, Section 22 of the state Constitution governs the reading of bills, said the group’s attorney, Barry Arrington, adding that House rules require if there is not unanimous consent from legislators to waive the full reading of a bill, it must be read at length.

“If any of the 100 legislators stands up and says, ‘Read this bill at length,’ it is absolutely mandatory that the bill be read at length. There is no wiggle room. There is no compromise,” Arrington said.

The group alleges that requests from Saine and Williams to read the full bill were not granted, violating their

Constitutional rights and making the law invalid.

“I think what you’re seeing right now shouldn’t be a surprise. When Democrats offered this bill, it was unconstitutional on its face,” Williams said. “It shouldn’t be a surprise that they tried to pass it in an unconstitutional way.”

Neville estimated reading the bill in its entirety could have taken two hours or longer, but Brown said the time to read it “doesn’t really matter” when the Constitution required that happen after Saine and Williams asked it be read.

Arrington refuted characterizing the lawsuit as being rooted in a “technicality,” saying the Constitution is not a technicality.

Reached from the House floor on May 2, one of the bill’s House sponsors, Rep. Tom Sullivan, D-Centennial, said he had not yet heard the details of the group’s lawsuit but that opponents have the right to challenge the law.

“I stand behind the bill,” he said.

“It’s constitutional. It’s been vetted.

The attorney general has looked it over. I’m confident with what we did.

This is America. They have their opportunity.”

Bill to incentivize public shooting ranges headed to president’s desk The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act aims to make federal dollars more available for pubic ranges

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bipartisan bill passed by Congress that incentivizes creating public shooting ranges is headed for the president’s desk to be signed into law.

The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act aims to make federal aid dollars for developing public shooting ranges more accessible to agencies at the state level.

The legislation comes amid state and local efforts in Colorado to build more public shooting ranges as public lands are seeing an increase in recreational use overall, including from recreational shooters.

Funds available under a current federal aid program, the PittmanRobertson Act, can be used to pay up to 75 percent of building or operating costs for public ranges, according to

a news release from the office of U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Denver, who co-sponsored a Senate companion bill to H.B. 1222, which passed the House on April 30.

The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act would allow states to begin using those funds to cover up to 90 percent of range costs and give states five years to use the money, unlike the present PittmanRobertson Act, which only allows states two years and requires they match federal dollars by 25 percent.

“Sportsmen are a key component of our outdoor economy,” Bennet said in a statement. “Once signed into law, this bipartisan will expand opportunities for target shooting and marksmanship training, an important part of Colorado’s heritage.”

Pittman-Robertson funds are raised through an 11 percent excise tax on firearms and ammunition for the purpose of safety training and wildlife conservation.

The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act would also allow states to use the federal aid dollars to acquire land, expand existing facilities and construct new public facilities.

Castle Rock could rescind building’s landmark designation Move would clear path to redesign of structure’s exterior

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Rock Historic Preservation Board has recommended the town council approve removing a historic landmark designation from a building in the heart of downtown Castle Rock, which could make way for current owners’ hopes to redesign the building’s street-facing exterior.

The Historic Preservation Board is only a recommending body. Its decision came in a 5-1 vote on May 1 with board member Carlos Salinas dissenting. Council will hear the issue, likely on May 21, to decide if the landmark status should be removed.

The property at 302-304 Wilcox Street, former home to the Castle Rock Bar and Grill, received its designation as a local historic landmark in 1995.

The structure comprises what was once two buildings that were connected in 1997.

The older of the two buildings first functioned as a creamery and was built in 1939. Its storefront features brick-lined arches that are original, dating back to 1939. The newer building was built in 1951. Both are made of

The owners of the building at center hope to have a historic landmark designation removed so they can redesign the front exterior of the structure. The plan is to open a craft cocktail lounge in the space.

JESSICA GIBBS cinder block with a stucco finish.

In 1973, a car crashed into the older of the buildings and destroyed portions of its historic façade and windows. It is not eligible for the state or national registry.

The current owners and applicants for de-landmarking, Sarah Miles and John Egbert of Milestone Properties, purchased the building in 2018. They

have already begun renovations to its interior. Their plan is to open a craft cocktail lounge in the building “as soon as possible,” Miles said.

The business partners are Parker residents who also own Milestone Computer Technology. This is their first venture into the restaurant industry, Miles said.

“We’re not massive developers. We

own a tech company,” Egbert said.

“Our hope is to bring something special to Castle Rock.”

If the landmark designation is removed, they would then pursue the town’s permission to redesign the storefront, which must be approved through a separate process from the landmark removal.

Design plans are only conceptual to date, but so far, they include completely removing the historic arches and replacing the stucco with brick. The arches do not span the length of the two conjoined buildings, leaving the roof mismatched.

Members of the downtown business community provided written statements of support for the proposal and spoke at the meeting. They included owner of 1 Stop Tire & Auto’s John Manka, Chris Gill of the B&B Café, and Lou Scileppi of Scileppi’s at The Old Stone Church, among others.

Lee Alexander of the Masonic Lodge, another historic property that neighbors the old Castle Rock Bar and Grill, wrote: “I like the brick façade much better than the old stucco (and the humps). It would certainly upgrade the appearance.”

“This property as it’s proposed will be positive not just for the 300 block,” said Andrew Wasson, who owns the Wild Blue Yonder Brewing Company, “but for the downtown district.”

Castle Rock teen works to bring feminine hygiene products to girls on reservation About me I am 16 years old and a junior at Castle View High School.

Working with the Family Leadership Training Institute My mom and I are both participants in the FLTI of Arapahoe County, which stands for the Family Leadership Training Institute offered by Colorado State University Extension Office. It is a 20-week course in developing new leadership skills and learning more about the civic process.

It teaches both youth and adults that they have the power to be the change makers in our communities, and part of that is through our civic project.

My FLTI project My project is called Distributing Dignity and I am bringing feminine hygiene products to the adolescent girls on the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in South Dakota. To be honest I have had a few setbacks, but I am really proud of the startup project we have going. With funding from the Rotary Club through Interact at Castle View and a partnership with Cora (a brand that sells organic pads and tampons) and the Tipi Raisers, we began a pilot project that is going to bring 233 girls from the five poorest schools on the reservation enough products to last them six months.

We hope to make this a year-round program, as well as branch out to the other schools on the reservation. With so few employment options for them on the reservations, it is important that girls stay in school and graduate.

Finding the idea behind Distributing Dignity My family has been very involved with the Pine Ridge Reservation for around five years, specifically with a

The statistics about Pine Ridge will blow you away. For example, 97% of the Lakota people live below the poverty line. Some families will have 17 people crammed into a two-bedroom home with often no running water or heat. Life feels pretty hopeless for youth on the reservation, as there are no jobs, and nothing to do. That is why I was excited to become involved with the Native American Youth Summit at the Cherokee Castle last August. Through the summit we brought teens from different reservations from around the west and teens from the Front Range together to discuss our differences and our commonalities.

One discussion we had was about the lack of feminine hygiene products on the reservation. I was surprised to learn that girls often miss school during their periods because they can’t afford products, and they often drop out due to falling so far behind.

My mantra “Be the change you want to see in your life,” and “Everyone is a genius.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinking it is stupid.”

Officials urge vaccinations as measles threat spreads Bill that would have modified state law on exemptions failed to pass state Legislature

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From Jan. 1 to April 26, 704 measles cases were reported in the United States, the most in 25 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A contentious bill that would have made it make it harder for parents Oto get vaccine exemptions for their children died with time running out in the final days of the legislative session, which closed May 3. But health experts say they will continue to stress the importance of vaccine requirements in Colorado, a state with historically low vaccination rates.

“Outbreaks happen in communities with low rates of vaccinations and spread really quickly,” said Jessica Cataldi, a pediatrician and specialist in infectious diseases at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “I think for Colorado, the best thing to do is to try to act now and act preventative before we are in the situation of an outbreak.”

Colorado’s vaccination rate in

kindergarten-aged children is among the lowest in the country at roughly 89 percent, according to a recent CDC survey. To protect the population, health professionals say 95 percent of people should be vaccinated.

State Rep. Kyle Mullica, D-Thornton, one of three sponsors of House Bill 1312, called Colorado’s low vaccination rates a “public health crisis.” The state has had one confirmed case of measles in 2019.

“Waiting for a tragedy to happen is not an option,” Mullica, a trained trauma nurse, said in an April 27 news release. “This is about the safety of our students and experts have been consulted in crafting this important legislation.”

The bill was also sponsored by Sen. Kevin Priola, R-Aurora, and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. In the measure’s final hearing on May 1, hundreds of families showed up at the Capitol in an effort to stop the bill, which received pushback from Gov. Jared Polis.

The bill would have created a standardized exemption form and required that all exemptions be submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment or the local public health agency. It would have also required initial non-medical exemptions be submitted in person to the state health department or local public health agency, a condition that Polis opposed.

Highly contagious Some of the largest school districts in the Denver metro area either meet or are on the cusp of the preferred vaccination rate. Jefferson County Public Schools has a 94.8 percent compliancy rate for all immunizations. Douglas County School District has a 94.6 percent compliancy rate for MMR, the measles vaccine.

On the higher end, Adams 12 Five Star Schools has a 98.7 percent compliancy rate.

Still, health professionals are concerned. Measles is one of, if not the most, contagious infections, officials say. Spread through the air, measles can lead to pneumonia or encephalitis. The risks are significant if a community is exposed to the disease and less than 95 percent of the population is vaccinated, Cataldi said.

“Even thought it’s an old disease, it’s still the one that is most contagious,” Cataldi said. “Meaning if one person gets measles, they are likely to make between 12 and 18 other people sick.”

To protect against measles, the CDC recommend two doses of the MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. Symptoms of measles include a fever, cough, red eyes and a red rash on the skin. The infection is most problematic in babies and pregnant women, according to health care professionals.

Two years ago, Allison Coppel’s family was exposed to a measles outbreak from

‘EDUCATED DECISION-MAKING’ Several state and national organizations oppose stricter vaccination laws and promote informed consent and privacy rights. For example, Colorado Health Choice Alliance states that its mission is to inform consumers on the “safety, efficacy, history and ingredients of vaccines.” Similarly, the National Vaccine Information Center says it offers information on vaccinations and health to encourage “educated decisionmaking.”

Phil Silberman, president of the Colorado Health Choice Alliance Board of Directors, fully supports Colorado’s current law on vaccines, he said. He believes citizens should have the right to research and make an informed decision on vaccinations.

“It’s a parent’s right, a citizen’s right, to choose whether to inject products into our bodies,” Silberman said. “A vaccine can’t be undone. You can’t be unvaccinated.”

a tutoring center in Highlands Ranch, she said. Her newborn baby wasn’t infected, but she described the experience as “harrowing.”

“Voluntarily putting families in this situation because you choose not to believe science isn’t acceptable to me,” Coppel, a Highlands Ranch resident, wrote on a Facebook inquiry on the topic.

Use a Reverse Mortgage to Fund Retirement SPONSORED ORED CONTENT - KATHY MUNI

A

ccording to author Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA in an article in Retirement Researcher, financial planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage starting earlier in retirement outperforms waiting to open a reverse mortgage as a last resort option once all else has failed.

Reverse mortgages have transitioned from a last resort to a retirement income Kathy Muni tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall efficient retirement income plan. Two benefits give opening a reverse mortgage earlier in retirement the potential to improve retirement outcomes, even after accounting for loan costs.

First, coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage reduces strain on the investment portfolio, which helps manage the risk of having to sell assets at a loss after market downturns. Reverse mortgages

can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternative source of retirement spending after market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

The second potential benefit of opening the reverse mortgage early— especially when interest rates are low—is that the principal limit (the overall eligible amount consisting of any loan balance and remaining line of credit) that you can borrow from will continue to grow throughout retirement. You are the only one who owns your home with its equity, the

bank or lender does not. The reverse mortgage is not repaid until the last borrower leaves the home.

To qualify for a government insured reverse mortgage, at least one homeowner must be 62. The home must be your primary residence and you should have between 40 – 60 % equity.

Yours may be a single-family home, an FHA approved condo, a townhome, manufactured home, modular home, or a hobby farm up to 25-acres.

It is a non-recourse loan, so you will never owe more than the home is

worth, and no debt is passed on to your heirs or estate.

Silver Leaf Mortgage also offers proprietary reverse mortgages for eligible condominiums that are not FHA approved, and for homeowners who are 60 years old. Additionally, you may use a reverse mortgage to purchase a property and will have no mortgage payment. Of course, you will pay property taxes and insurance. Give me a call for a no pressure, no obligation conversation to see if a reverse mortgage may be a good option for you. The goal is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision.

Castle Rock man sentenced for death of Littleton woman Francisco Sanchez will serve six years, do 450 community service hours

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Castle Rock man was sentenced to six years in prison May 2 for causing a fatal, head-on collision on Crowfoot Valley Road in June 2018.

Francisco Avila Sanchez, 19, was sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Theresa Slade to eight total years in the Department of Sanchez Corrections. Two of those years, one on each count, can be suspended following certain conditions, including community service

and participation on the Victims Impact Panel, an awareness program for those convicted of driving under the influence. He was sentenced to five years on one count of vehicular homicide, providing he completes 300 hours of community service, and one year for one count of driving while impaired if he completes 150 hours of community service.

“This was a decision. It wasn’t just the decision to get behind the wheel — it was a decision to take in illegal substances and then drive,” Slade said.

“There are consequences for your decisions. The victims did not get the choice to make a decision that day.”

On June 5, Sanchez drove northbound into oncoming traffic on Crowfoot Valley Road between Castle Rock and Parker. Sanchez, later proven to be high on marijuana during the incident, caused a five-car wreck that killed Amanda Hill, 24, of Littleton.

Hill was driving to a doctor’s ap-

pointment from her parent’s house in Parker.

Hill’s family spoke at the sentencing, asking for the maximum sentence and saying that the collision was not an accident but a “decision.”

“They called it an accident, which is the biggest joke in the world,” said Ed Hill, Amanda’s father. “He needs to face his consequences.”

During the sentencing, the prosecutor played aloud a recording of a phone call between Sanchez and his girlfriend while Sanchez was in jail telling her to lie about the incident in order to minimize his sentencing. On the recording, he also purported that he had been high on cocaine. Sanchez’s lawyer said Sanchez called his girlfriend soon after to retract what he said.

Hill attended Legend High School and graduated from Castle View High School. She attended the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology and was working as a veterinary tech. Her

parents said she had a love for exotic animals.

As part of Sanchez’s sentencing, he must serve 150 community service hours working with animals or for some animal care facility, in honor of Hill.

Sanchez read a letter to the Hill family expressing his remorse.

Ed and Denise Hill said they have become active to support DUI prevention. Ed Hill said he plants to work with the state Legislature to lower the designated legal driving level of THC, the main chemical in marijuana that causes a person to feel high. Denise Hill said she will be getting involved with Mothers Against Drunk Driving to spread awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence.

“I work at a high school, in the kitchen. I see a lot of these kids. I love these kids,” Denise Hill said. “I want to help educate them on the consequences of driving impaired.”

PLASTIC EVERYWHERE

Putting together the pieces

Englewood resident Elizabeth Decker showcases some of the 94 items she collected in a week. “I just finished a master’s degree in environmental education and a few of my peers’ program plans were recycling, plastic in the oceans, stopping the use of plastic straws, etc.,” she said. “This is why I’ve been trying (obviously not hard enough) to limit my use.”

COURTESY PHOTOS

Kyra Prokuski, 18, sets out the plastic items she used after participating in Colorado Community Media’s informal study. The senior from Douglas County High School used the majority of her plastic for lunches while at school. “I am going to try to transition into using reusable Tupperware the majority of the time instead of Ziplock bags,” she said.

Local residents who tracked plastic usage for a week find they use more than expected

BY DREW BATY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Bookkeeper Janelle Pedigo, 47, has worried about her plastic use since she was in high school. It’s not unusual to see her walking down the salad-dressing aisle in a grocery store, tapping on bottles to find the ones made of glass.

“Why do I worry?” she said. “Because that single salad-dressing bottle is going to outlast me, my daughter, her daughter, her daughter — and maybe even her daughter.”

Pedigo, who lives in Golden and works in Westminster, was one of 20 adults and teenagers who participated in an infor-

mal Colorado Community Media project to track their single-use plastic usage for a week. The project was part of a look into the local picture of how metro Denver communities are addressing single-use plastics.

After documenting each piece of plastic used — 926 pieces altogether — many found they used much more than expected. Most said the project showed them just how much they rely on plastic in their day-to-day lives.

And interviews with public health, environmental and elected officials revealed that — despite a growing focus on the issue and individual efforts in some communities and organizations — there is no cohesive effort to reduce

single-use plastic.

Plastic is everywhere — in packaging on supermarket shelves, covering products in vending machines, in coffee cups and straws and drink bottles. It holds the kids’ lunch sandwiches and carries home groceries.

The material has become a versatile, easily accessible, inexpensive product that is a substantial part of most people’s everyday lives. The environmental watchdog GreenPeace stated that 330 million metric tons of plastic — more than 661 billion pounds — are produced globally each year, with more than half being classified as single use.

“I realized that nearly every food product that I used had some form of plastic, which I never thought about before,” she said. “I probably use a minuscule amount of plastic compared to some other people. If every single person in the U.S. or even the world uses close to this much plastic, it’s almost an unimaginable amount.”

The issue Consider that on average one person in the U.S. uses approximately 346 plastic bottles, 500 straws and 365 plastic bags each year, according to a 2018 National Geographic report.

And 8 million tons of plastic are discarded worldwide into oceans every year, says Plastic Oceans, which works to combat plastic pollution. A pregnant sperm whale, found dead on the coast of Sardinia, Italy, in March, had nearly 50 pounds of plastic in her stomach. She was the fourth whale in 12 months to wash up onshore with ingested plastic waste.

“If current trends continue we will quadruple the amount of plastic we are producing globally by 2050,” said Harlin Savage, communications director from EcoCycle, a Boulder-based recycler dedicated to creating zero-waste communities. Savage helps lead its plastics department. “At that point, if we have done nothing, we will have more plastic by weight than fish in the ocean, which is mind-boggling when you consider how lightweight plastic is.”

The fundamental problem with plastic is that it can’t be reycled in the same way as paper and aluminum.

Very few plastics, industry experts say, are truly recyclable.

“Virtually all of the plasticIDthat we CC 2018 have ever created is still on the Earth Windows in some form because plastic is not truly biodegradable and it is difficult to recycle,” Savage said. “We have a

I’ve never realized how much plastic I use until I started to track it. It’s frustrating to see how people use plastics on a day-today basis without any regard for the impact they are having.”

other situation in that we have become dependent on a lot of plastics and we’ve started to become very indiscriminate on how we use them.”

Most materials recovery facilities, where recyclables are sorted and prepared, are unable to recycle straws, for instance, because they are too small to be sorted, according to For a Strawless Ocean, a national campaign to eliminate the use of plastic straws.

In Denver, the city’s recycling directory instructs residents to not include straws in recycling bins, but rather to throw them out with the trash. Straws, according to Woods Hole Sea Grant, a nonprofit that works to maintain coastal and ocean resources, will sit in landfills for at least 200 years, never degrading completely.

Just 9 percent of plastic produced annually gets recycled, a 2019 report from National Geographic stated. But plastic becomes more downgraded and less functional the more it is recycled.

Unlike paper, aluminum and cardboard, plastic cannot be recycled over and over without losing its structure.

by water treatment plants, according to a study published in the Sociey for Conservation Biology. The Inland Ocean Coalition, a program working to advocate for land-to-sea stewardship, tested Colorado rivers in 2017 and found traces of micro-plastics in Boulder Creek and the South Platte River.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in an effort to learn how much plastic is never recycled, completed a Waste Composition of Municipal Solid Waste Disposal study in 2018, where it analyzed materials that arrived at landfills statewide.

The study reported 13.2 percent of waste brought to landfills was made up of plastics including bottles, film, bags and wraps.

“We found out that of people who live in a city or town in Colorado, 96 percent of them actually do have access to recycling,” said Wolf Kray, a recycling specialist with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Job No.: 007825 550 Page No. Environment. “So if that many people School to Name:recycling, Castle View High School have access and we still have somewhat of a lower recycling rate, it kind of leads to the question of how many people are participating in actually recycling.”

cept curbside recycling and 25 counties have drop-off recycling options.

Colorado’s recycling efforts rank low, with a 19 percent landfill diversion rate — the amount taken out from landfills to recycle — compared to the national average of 35 percent, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

What some people, places are doing For many at EcoCycle, the answer to reducing plastic use lies with avoiding plastic altogether.

“I’m not an advocate for recycling single-use plastic, because we don’t have ways to do that,” EcoCycle President Judith Wong said. “I think we should not create them in the first place, reducing it out at the source.”

Colorado is one of 10 states with a law — passed in 1993 in Colorado — that prevents local governments from restricting citizens’ use of plastic.

But some local officals and legislators are working to change that.

Susan Lontine, a Democrat who represents state House District 1 in Denver, sponsored a bill in January that would make straws available at restaurants throughout Colorado only upon customer request. The bill went to the House Committe on Energy and Environment in February, but was postponed indefinitely for an amendment to be created that would allow more local control.

Used 55 plastic items, the majority from food packaging such as milk jugs or take-out dinner bowls.

Used 74 plastic items. She struggled to find items, like cheese, that could be bought without plastic wrappings. Most items she used were personal care and cleaning items.

Used 38 plastic items, the majority food packaging and personal care items.

“I’m a fairly conscientious person when it comes to using plastic and try to be very purposeful with what I buy and use. Even with that, I was surprised with how many things I still used throughout the week.”

“I think if more people just took an assessment of what they throw out and what they can do to lessen that, it would be helpful.”

“There were so many products I couldn’t buy without them being packaged or made of plastic. While getting ready in the morning I realized that every item I used, from my toothbrush to the shampoo bottle, was all made of plastic.”

Jaxon Chapman, Castle Rock Castle View High School Used 54 plastic items, seven of which were plastic to-go cups.

“I use single-use plastics every day. I think it is definitely an issue since it is so unavoidable in everyday life.”

Sidney Chong, Lone Tree Kent Denver High School Used 22 plastic items, many daily, such as individual yogurt drink bottles and microwave dinners.

“I was unpleasantly surprised by how much plastic I used, especially during the week. At school, when it is always rush-rush-rush, having the luxury of prepackaged goods is such an easy trap to fall into.”

Jenny Dallman, Sedalia Environmental science teacher Unable to log a single piece of plastic. If she does use plastic, she always finds a way to recycle it.

“There’s not a huge incentive to recycling — the government doesn’t look at it the same way I do. That’s why it’s important to vote for people who have the same values that you do.”

‘Is that a sustainable choice and is that healthy for me?’

Those are two questions Jenny Dallman asks when confronted by plastic

Environmental science teacher Jenny Dallman poses with the reusable containers that had recently held her day’s lunch. By growing some of her own produce and carefully choosing items based on their packaging, she hardly uses any plastic items.

“If you’re trying to become more environmentally friendly and cut back on your use,” she said, “you have to understand that pretty much everything has plastic in it.”

BY DREW BATY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

For more than 20 years, environmental science teacher Jenny Dallman has devoted herself to living in a way that leaves the least impact on the natural world.

After a week of being a part of an informal Colorado Community Media study that tracked 20 community members’ plastic usage, she was unable to log a single item on her list.

“I honestly don’t use plastic,” Dallman said. “When I go to the grocery store I look at the food I eat and I say to myself, ‘Is that a sustainable choice and is that healthy for me?’ Those are the two questions I ask myself. When I buy vegetables I set them in my cart — I don’t ever put them in plastic. When I purchase anything, I ask myself if I need that item that has plastic around it. I put items I buy in my shirt or carry them in my hands out of the store.”

Dallman teaches aquatic biology and environmental science at Castle View High School in Castle Rock. Her passion to preserve the environment is evident in just about every facet of her life.

She lives with her husband in an eco-friendly home in Sedalia.

The geodesic dome-shaped house is heated from solar water panels and baseboard hot water. The dome provides natural light and windows are carefully placed for passive solar energy retention. She grows vegetables — peas, carrots, onions, garlic, zucchini, cucumbers and herbs — in a pesticide-free garden, where milk jugs have found a second life protecting germinating plants.

are coffee mugs for students to use.

Recycled licorice buckets and protein powder containers — some brought in by students and other teachers — are used for class activities. Seeds sprout in smaller containers. Large vines grow from cut-up liter soda bottles.

Plastic ice cream containers hold markers, pencils and scissors.

“I’m one of those people who if I buy something and it’s plastic, I save it … I will find a use for the plastic,” Dallman said. “I keep all single-use plastic. I would never throw it in the trash bin.”

Her environmental beliefs stem from a humble childhood in Alaska and Wisconsin. Her dad was a science teacher, her mother a nurse. They didn’t have much money and gardened and hunted for the family, which also included an older brother and younger sister.

“They both were very conscientious about picking up trash. Whenever we

went camping they would always have garbage bags on them and they would pick up other people’s trash. I learned from a very young age to be conscientious of trash and where it should go,” Dallman said. “My mom would save the big sleeve that bread would come in, and that’s what she would send us to school with our sandwiches in. My grandparensts would save wrapping paper at Christmas from year to year to reuse.”

To Dallman, the biggest issue surrounding the overuse of plastic is related to what she says is America’s materialistic society.

Her travels to Central and South America, which have included student trips to Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands, have shown her how other cultures and people generally live with much less than the average American — and with much more con-

cern for the environment, family and community.

Many in today’s society tend to buy items without thinking about how they will be disposed of, she said. “It goes into a landfill, gets buried and sometimes doesn’t decompose for hundreds or thousands of years. What people don’t understand is that putting it in a landfill is out of sight, out of mind — meaning they don’t think of it when it’s gone from their curb.”

Dallman urges her students to understand how their choices affect the Earth and not allow ignorance to be an excuse.

“Everything is connected on Earth,” she said. “And until we understand it and unless we educate about it, people won’t understand the connection with why single-use plastic can be harmful. ... We have an obligation to Earth and our future generations to take care of it appropriately.”

For some, plastic provides a lifeline

that believe the bill does not go far enough and from people who advocate for local control and disability advocates,” Lontine said in an email to Colorado Community Media.

Lontine believes the law must be changed to reduce plastic waste. “It takes a thousand years for plastic to decompose,” she said, “and if we don’t do something about it now we are going to be buried in it later.”

Individual efforts are sprouting up.

Across the state, towns such as Breckenridge, Boulder and Aspen are banning or setting fees on plastic bags, although no metro-area cities or counties have passed any similar legislation. More and more restaurants are beginning to follow a national trend of not giving out straws, and coffee shops like Starbucks are providing alternative resuable options to the plastic straw, lid and cup.

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science announced in April that it has eliminated its use of single-use plastics. Aluminum cans, compostable cups and plant-based materials will now be used instead of plastic.

Shocked at usage Many participants in the week-long project found that individual decisions to stop using plastic could help make a difference.

“We as individuals need to reduce what we use and make the effort to use reusable products,” said Amy Vessa, a preschool teacher assistant from Centennial. “It can be as simple

ABOUT THE REPORTER Drew Baty, 18, a senior at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, has been interning at Colorado Community Media since January. She is editor-in-chief of the school’s yearbook and will attend Western Washington University, where she plans to study journalism.

To report and write this story, Baty — an avid outdoors enthusiast — recruited 20 youths Baty and adults to track their single-use plastic usage for a week and interviewed numerous state and local health, environmental and community officials.

“This project has shown me just how easy it is to put our personal convenience over the well-being of the environment,” Baty said. “It’s our responsibility to do our part to help this planet before it’s too late.”

as saying no to plastic utensils at a restaurant, saying no to straws when they are truly not necessary, using a reusable water bottle/thermos or washing utensils (plastic or metal) to be used again. We cannot demand corporations stop producing if we as consumers are not willing to make the sacrifice first and stop using.”

Vessa, who also works as a therapeutic riding instructor for people with disabilities, realized just how much of her plastic usage is “embedded” into her work life, and that there is really no way for her to alter this.

Like Vessa and Prokuski, other participants said they were shocked at the amount of plastic used in one week.

Even those who considered themselves environmentally friendly found that using the material was ultimately unavoidable.

“What surprised me was just how much stuff comes in plastic, especially anything in the bathroom or cleaners for the kitchen,” Englewood resident Jill Bastian said. “I recycle everything. But, jeez, not one container in the bathroom didn’t have plastic.

Even if it was made of metal there

was something plastic on it — a cap, a nozzle or a pump.”

Sidney Chong, 18, a senior at Kent Denver who used 22 plastic items during the study, a low amount compared to the average, said making a difference requires action.

“I think that it is shockingly easy to forget how much single-use plastic we consume because of the convenience the tool brings into our lives,” she said. “Many people preach ‘save the turtles’ and swear by a straw-less life, which is great. But in reality they are producing so much other waste that such positive thoughts are rendered basically useless.”

THE STUDY PARTICIPANTS

Nick Sanstra, Centennial Grandview High School Used 23 plastic items, most from eating at restaurants where plates, cups, straws and utensils were plastic.

“Most teenagers could care less about the environment.

They think everything is going to stay just how it is now. Very few people really pay attention and do the research to see the effects on our planet year after year.”

Morgan Schaaf, Castle Pines, Regis Jesuit High Used 39 plastic items, including more than 20 cups, lids and straws.

“Society gives us so many opportunities to recycle, use certain products instead of others, carpool, gives us quality and ozone warnings. ... For the younger generation to not care about the environment is to just be ignorant of the world around you.”

Andre Wright, Aurora Valor Christian High School Used 41 plastic items. He found a lot of his plastic use came from home products like shampoos and soaps.

“Because of how our generation has been brought up, no one cares about the environment or animals because it hasn’t been brought up as a real-world issue.”

Gillian Steininger, Gunnison Western Colorado University student

Amy Vessa, Centennial Preschool teacher assistant Used 38 plastic items, but counted another 176 items used during five days in her preschool classroom, such as mini-muffin containers and Capri Sun pouches.

“I knew I used minimal single-use plastic ... However, I didn’t think of how many of my meals come wrapped in plastic for serving sizes or to protect the food in the freezer.”

Lauren Walter, Centennial Arapahoe High School Used 26 plastic items. She struggled with options for lunches that didn’t come with plastic and felt like she didn’t have another choice than the plastic containers offered at school.

“I think people should be concerned with the amount they use because it can hurt the environment. They should find a way to make plastic friendlier.”

Frank Wilde, Castle Rock Air Force officer Used 29 plastic items, including 10 K-cups and six plastic bags.

“We should reduce and eventually eliminate the use of single-use plastic. If more of it were recyclable or made with recycled material it would be more sustainable. But as of now, we will cover the Earth in plastic someday by continuing the same practices.”

Sean Zoellner, Centennial Regis Jesuit High School

Used 26 plastic products, mainly lids for coffee cups and plastic food wrappers.

Used 27 plastic items,mostly food packaging for to-go items.

“Something that has always frustrated me with plastic waste, especially in a remote area like Gunnison ... is the inaccessibility to recycling. The City of Gunnison can only recycle 1 and 2 plastics, so any other plastic recyclables either get thrown into the landfill or shipped off somewhere they can be recycled. ... It’s odd to be in an environmental major where the students will encourage you to put your 3-6 plastics in the waste bin! We definitely need a better solution.”

“The overuse of these items is a very serious issue that many people would rather overlook...But only by raising awareness and opening the dialogue about these topics will we be able to find lasting solutions to better our planet.”

National Small Business Week celebrates entrepreneurial spirit

t was 1963 when President Kennedy issued the first Small Business Week proclamation, announcing to the nation the critical importance of local small businesses in our communities.

Here we are 56 years later celebrating National Small Business Week, and GUEST one fundamental COLUMN still rings true — small business is the foundation and the backbone of our economy. That is certainly the case in Colorado where more than 630,000 small firms employ more than 1.1 milDan Nordberg lion Coloradans.

During National Small Business Week, May 5-11, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) shines a spotlight on our nation’s 30 million

small businesses. It is a time for the small business owners and entrepreneurs in our community to come together and celebrate their accomplishments. The reality is that every week is Small Business Week across America. Small business owners are the true heroes in our communities where they pay good wages, support the local tax base and support our community organizations.

Entrepreneurship allows us to provide something of value to society while also creating a better future for ourselves and the people we love.

Small business owners invest in their communities by sponsoring the local Little League teams, donating profits to the local PTA, and helping plant trees along Main Street.

They invest in the future of their neighborhoods and bring people together in the communities we call home. People have this misconception that big corporations make our

economy the strongest in the world.

But in fact, it’s our small businesses that are the biggest engine of our economy. Small business is truly big business in America.

Small businesses continue to create two out of three net new jobs and employ half of America’s private-sector workforce. They produce close to half of our nation’s goods and services and make up nearly 98 percent of all U.S. exporters. Today, we celebrate their contributions and importance.

For more than 66 years, the SBA has helped some of the most important companies in America grow from small to big: Tesla, Otterbox, Apple, Qualcomm, Fed Ex and Nike. Entrepreneurship is the greatest source of social mobility in America today.

In that same vein, the SBA was created with the mission of helping businesses start, grow, expand — or even recover in the event of a natural disaster. With 68 local SBA district

offices across the country, the agency is uniquely positioned to provide personalized advice and support. The SBA is proud of its role in fostering business growth across the country.

If you own a small business, don’t miss out on the advice and services provided by the SBA and its national partners like the Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers, Veterans Business Outreach Centers and SCORE chapters.

For more information on the SBA’s programs and services in your community, please visit www.sba.gov and remember to follow us on Twitter @ SBARockymtn.

Dan Nordberg serves as the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Region VIII administrator and is based in Denver. He oversees the agency’s programs and services in Colorado, Montana, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

GARLAND

Julie Anne Garland Reagan February 29, 1940 - April 22, 2019

Julie Anne Garland (Reagan) passed in her home surrounded by her husband and two children due to complications from metastatic breast cancer.

She was born February 29, 1940 in Utica, New York to Dorothy Kline Garland and Edwin J. Garland. Julie then moved to Clinton, New York where she attended elementary, junior high, and high school.

While a sociology major in college, Julie spent summers managing a day care center for children of migrant workers in western New York. In 1962 she graduated from Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York where she met her husband, Doug Reagan. After graduation, she worked for 1 year in child welfare in Utica, New York before moving to Boston where she attended Boston University School of Social Work part-time and worked TIDWELL

part-time at South End Settlement House for 3 years.

Julie worked for Bernalillo County Child Welfare after marrying Doug and moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1966, where Doug was completing his master’s degree. In 1968 they moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas where their two children, Katherine Reagan (Heim) and Darrell Reagan, were born. Julie also worked as a school social worker during that time.

The family moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1974, where Julie worked as a court social worker and was very involved in the Newcomers Group.

In 1977, they moved to Castle Rock, Colorado where she volunteered for Arapahoe Mental Health and helped start the Battered Women’s Shelter in Aurora, Colorado. In 1979 the fam-

their current notions of what Why xeriscaping is crucial to aside xeriscaping is. A lot of people have misconception that it is rocks Coloradans, and how to start this and cactus, but it doesn’t have to be,”

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

ndie Wommack, a horticulture agent for the Colorado State University Extension office in Douglas County, said the most fundamental misconception people have with waterconserving landscaping is in the wording.

“Xeriscaping does not mean ‘zeroscaping.’ There’s a misconception or tag with xeriscaping that it needs to be all rocks and cactus,” Wommack said, “and that’s not really what xeriscaping is.”

For a word coined in Colorado, many residents are still unclear what it means to xeriscape (ze-ri-scape) a yard.

Dianna Denwood, a senior water conservation specialist with Colorado WaterWise, a water conservation resource group, said the state introduced the term “waterwise” to rethink what it means to be conscientious about water use in a landscape.

According to Colorado WaterWise, 50 percent of a Western United States residents’ water usage goes toward landscaping. Xeriscaping a yard, Colorado WaterWise reported, can reduce water usage by up to 60 percent and, if done right, increase home values by up to 15 percent.

“I basically am asking folks to change their understanding of what their yard should look like and put

Denwood said. “You can have a green, lush landscape with not a single blade of Kentucky bluegrass. It’s changing the mindset and knowing what’s possible.”

Xeriscaping is a style of landscaping that significantly reduces water usage. The style is popular in particularly dry regions, like Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Some xeriscaped yards go all the way to zero water usage, while others limit the amount of water needed. Common features of xeriscaped yards include native plants or plants that require little water, various rock formations and creative use of space to eliminate the need for a costly, green yard.

Kentucky bluegrass, the most commonly used grass in Colorado lawns, has one of the lowest water-needs of any grass. It’s managing the irrigation based on location, timing and use that can make all the difference.

“We never want to tell someone they can’t have Kentucky bluegrass.

We do encourage them to think about keeping their bluegrass only where they really need it,” Denwood said.

“We love Kentucky bluegrass because it’s green most of the year and it can handle high foot traffic … If there’s an area you’re not using grass that heavily, that’s the perfect area to transition to waterwise landscaping.”

How to start Most xeriscaping experts will tell you completely transforming your

yard may not be easy or inexpensive. Using a phased-in approach, Denwood said, is the easiest way to work toward a waterwise yard. That begins by replacing certain plants with water-conserving ones, identifying which spots of the yard rarely get foot traffic and developing a plan for what you want your lawn to look like.

“It can be costly, but it depends on how you go about and do it,” Denwood said. “I recommend folks start with a plan and then they can implement their plan in phases over several years and that works really well for folks who are unable to make that upfront cost for the whole thing.”

To many new Front Range residents coming from places with more average rainfall than Colorado, having anything but a green lawn can seem strange. In Denver, the average rainfall is about 15.4 inches, which is almost half the national average.

Ruth Quade, a water conservation coordinator in Greeley, said Kentucky bluegrass is a common choice for contractors because it is droughtresilient and easy to put down and maintain. Water, meanwhile, is used in excess to keep it green.

Quade said one square foot of turf requires about 18 to 20 gallons of water per year. Xeriscaping yards, Quade said, can reduce that by almost half.

“Adapting your landscape to mimic more of nature, you’re going to use less water and you’re not going to have to supply from above,” Quade said.

‘One Fell Swoop’ invites a visit One-of-a-kind sculpture at Chatfield location uses natural materials

IF YOU GO

Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms is located off South Wadsworth Boulevard just south of C-470. Turn west from Wadsworth onto Deer Creek Canyon Road and almost immediately turn left at the gardens’ sign.

There is a large parking lot — and there is an entrance charge for non-members. It has been by the car, but seemed to be changing as we write. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. (No pets allowed except service dogs.) Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

urving entries almost suck you in as you stand in front of Patrick Dougherty’s swirling, swooping new Stickwork sculpture, “One Fell Swoop” on the lawn behind the Earl J. Sinnamon Visitor Center and Deer Creek Stables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms southwest of Littleton.

For a number of years, Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street has hosted a summer sculpture exhibit, with perhaps an example at Chatfield, but it’s nice to see this major work appear in the south division of DBG. (There is also a sculpture show of figural works in the city garden.)

The artist said, in a radio interview, it was his 300th work built from fresh, flexible saplings and branches, sourced in this case from the gardens’ property and across Colorado.

It opened to the public on April 27, after hours of building by volunteers 0who twisted and wove materials according to Dougherty’s design.

It is now included with entrance ticket to the gardens, where families will find in addition: historic farms, an original schoolhouse that was rescued from the site of Chatfield Lake, a number of specialized gardens (iris, heritage, prairie garden, pumplkin patch, etc.) and a large natural area, “native plant refuge,” along

Artist Patrick Dougherty with the newly finished “One Fell Swoop” at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms.

The receptionist said at least four large trucks arrived bearing materials (all sustainably harvested, we are assured). Willow, choke cherry and more were found on the 700-acre gardens property as well as at other sites and the variety woven together lends a bright, striped quality and a woodsy smell to the new work.

“One Fell Swoop” is appealing and inviting to visitors. Reactions will probably vary from feeling a bit of magic as you enter to “how in the world does he do that???” Or both.

The visitor sees yellow, red, green, brown, shades of gray ... Of course, as it dries and ages, it will lose the contrasts and become a weathered gray-brown, becoming a different artwork than it is today ...

Need: Volunteers for Wheat Ridge, Denver or Littleton Habitat ReStores, helping with the cash register, dock and warehouse floor Contact: 303-996-5468, email Alice Goble at Alice@habitatmetrodenver.org

Dougherty’s works are left in place until they deteriorate. Some have lasted for a number of years.

The thin saplings’ flexibility allowed Dougherty and volunteers to form arched entrances to the piece, which is perhaps the size of a small cabin — high enough for an adult to walk through. It has several curved entryways, wispy partitions and several exits. A bit of dappled sunlight filters through and there is plenty of light from the openings.

We are told that a book about Dougherty’s artwork will be available.

A brief search for meaning in the title led to a description of a bird, stopping momentarily in flight — perhaps a raptor capturing prey ... a reference to Macduff (in “Macbeth”) bemoaning his losses came up as a sadder note. “All my pretty ones ... in one fell swoop?”

I am smiling as I imagine the number of children who will be building small replicas in the back yard. Just be sure they understand that freshly cut sticks are needed so they’ll be flexible. (A little help may be needed here.)

A purrfect arrangement Catios allow cats to spend time outside in enclosed spaces

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lance Harding is allergic to cats.

But that hasn’t stopped the 25-year-old Washington Park entrepreneur from creating an enclosed outdoor cat patio that lets felines safely enjoy fresh air and get some exercise.

Called catios, the enclosures connect to an opening of the house, usually a window, so that the cat can get in and out. The catios can be as small or large as customers would like, and can have features such as ramps and scratch pads.

“They’re a catio, but they’re also a home addition,” Harding said. “People want to feel a part of it, too.”

Harding created Cat Topia with business partner, Sky Davis, in December. Harding got the idea for the business from a family friend who built a catio.

So far, Harding has built 10 catios in the metro area, with more projects scheduled. The largest was about 400 square feet, he said.

An architect helps design the enclosures, Harding said. Although Harding said they hire carpenters to build

A cat inside its catio space. The catios connect to the house, usually through a window as shown in this photo. The cats can then go in and out of the enclosure. COURTESY OF CAT TOPIA the catios, both he and Davis help in all phases of the projects: prefabrication, desing and building. Depending on the size, construction usually takes about two days. And they can be removed if a family moves. Price varies, but on average, Harding said catios cost about $2,500.

He plans to donate a portion of Cat Topia’s revenue to the Denver Dumb Friends League, a nonprofit animal shelter.

Maia Brusseau, the Dumb Friends League public relations manager, said the organization is always looking for local businesses to partner with for fundraising and to participate in events. Cat Topia is part of two upcoming annual events, the Furry Scurry at Washington Park this month and the Catwalk event in July.

Having local businesses at events is a “win-win” for everyone, Brusseau said. The businesses get exposure to potential buyers and eventgoers can learn about products for their pets.

When people adopt cats from the

Denver Dumb Friends League, the organization recommends that people keep their pets inside. Having a catio is a way to provide cats with exercise while still keeping them in an enclosed space, Brusseau said. The way catios are built can also give those cats the feeling of being outdoors in a safe way.

“They can not only get some exercise, but some mental stimulation,” Brusseau said. “Some cats really crave to be outside.”

Harding grew up in Washington Park and attended Most Precious Blood Catholic School. After spending some time taking classes at the Art Institute, Harding decided to launch his first company, The Good Couch, which collects and sells used couches. The company shows them in two Denver warehouse locations.

Both The Good Couch and Cat Topia were ways to let Harding have the freedom to travel as a photographer.

Before he came back to Denver and started Cat Topia, Harding spent the summer traveling the world and taking pictures.

He still works with The Good Couch, although his business partner Nick Reichert runs most of the company.

The Good Couch has now expanded to Tennessee and Georgia.

He believes catios will catch on, too.

“I saw a need, that cats needed this,” Harding said, “and that was more important to me” than any allergy.

Increased computer use tied to worsening rates of sitting Sedentary life becoming more prevalent across all age groups in U.S.

BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans are becoming increasingly sedentary, spending almost a third of their waking hours sitting down, and computer use is partly to blame, a new study found.

Over almost a decade, average daily sitting time increased by roughly an hour, to about eight hours for U.S. teens and almost 6 1/2 hours for adults, according to the researchers.

That includes school and work hours, but leisure-time computer use among all ages increased too.

By 2016, at least half of American kids and adults spent an hour or more of leisure time daily using computers.

The biggest increase was among the oldest adults: 15% of retirement-aged adults reported using computers that often in 2003-04, soaring to more than half in 2015-16.

Most Americans of all ages watched TV or videos for at least two hours daily and that was mostly unchanged throughout the study, ranging from about 60% of kids aged 5 to 11, up to 84% of seniors.

“Everything we found is concern-

Americans are spending more hours sitting, a study has found. ing,” said lead author Yin Cao, a researcher at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis. “The overall message is prolonged sitting is highly prevalent,” despite prominent health warnings about the dangers of being too sedentary.

The researchers analyzed U.S. government health surveys from almost 52,000 Americans, starting at age 5, from 2001-2016. Total sitting time was assessed for teens and adults starting

SHUTTERSTOCK PHOTO

in 2007. The results were published April 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Studies have shown that prolonged periods of sitting can increase risks for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. U.S. activity guidelines released last fall say adults need at least 150 minutes to 300 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity each week, things like brisk walking, jogging, biking or tennis.

Muscle strengthening two days weekly is also advised. Immediate benefits include reduced blood pressure and anxiety and better sleep. Longterm benefits include improved brain health and lower risks for falls.

Kids aged 6 through 17 need 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. Regular activity is even recommended for kids as young as 3.

But only about 1 in 4 U.S. adults and 1 in 5 teens get recommended amounts.

College student Daisy Lawing spends a lot of time sitting, but says she doesn’t have much choice. Classes and homework on the computer take up much of her day.

“I always feel bad” about being inactive, she said April 23 at an Asheville, North Carolina, cafe, explaining that she did a school paper about the benefits of physical activity.

“I try to walk a lot, try to work out twice a week. But sometimes I can’t because I’m too busy with school,” said Lawing, 21, a junior at Appalachian State University in Boone.

Peter T. Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said people who sit all day need to do more than the minimum recommended amount of physical activity to counteract the harms of being sedentary.

“We’ve just got to really work on the population to get the message out there. Physical activity is good for everyone,” he said.

The Bible Speaks – Beauty

God is a God of beauty. Eccl 3:11 states that “He has made everything beautiful in its time”. That is particularly true in springtime. The list of beautiful things around us is long & varied: flowers in multiple colors, shapes & scents; trees with a full array of blossoms & leaves; clouds in awesome sizes, shapes & shades of white; sounds of the breeze in the trees or on wind chimes; the melodious songs of birds; brilliant sunrises & sunsets.

How are we to respond to all of this? We are to praise & glorify God for His wonderful, beautiful creation (Ps 19:1-6). We are to think on whatever is lovely, admirable, excellent & praiseworthy (Phil 4:8). Finally, we are to “worship God in the beauty of His holiness” (Ps 29:2). Amen. hfsmail@basicisp.net

Second, follow the advice we see on T-shirts, coffee mugs, and plastered all over social media, “Never Settle.” We need to know what it is we want and why we want it. And then never ever settle for less.

Then its time to become intolerant of being tolerant. We need to define and establish our boundaries of what we will continue to tolerate in our lives that might be leading to our complacency and away from our biggest goals and dreams. We can make a list of the things we realize we are tolerating and then make a conscious decision to just stop. We can make the choice to not accept anything less than we expect of ourselves, and we will not make, accept, or tolerate excuses.

If the biggest contributor to our complacency is just being flat-out tired and exhausted, we need to do what is in our own best interest and get the rest we need. Proper rest

That was an odd year, wasn’t it?

Not only numerically, but as a calendar milestone. There was something called “the year 2000 problem” that didn’t turn out to be a problem after all.

The Billboard Top 100 for 1999 was indicative of the dire straits of popular music that is still here. Cher had the year’s top song: “Believe.”

“Inconceivable,” as Wallace Shawn said (over and over) in “The Princess Bride.”

and proper sleep can immediately reignite our fire and desire as we feel better and healthier. When we feel tired, we need to eliminate or minimize all the things we are doing that drain us of energy and focus our time on the tasks and projects and people that light us up, fire us up, and give us energy.

Show me a settled person, a person who has accepts and tolerates mediocrity, and a tired person and I will show you someone who is allowing complacency to kill their desire to succeed instead of working on their dreams.

So how about you? Before we jump ahead next week to the power of authenticity and the role of gratitude in relation to our success journey, how are you doing when it comes to being complacent in your own life? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we reignite our fires and desires, and get out of our complacency funk, it really will be a better than good week.

CCM journalists shine in multi-state contest Three reporters each won at least two first-place awards in SPJ event STAFF REPORT

Colorado Community Media journalists won 10 awards in a contest for daily and weekly newspapers in a four-state region.

Seven of CCM’s awards were first-place honors in the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual Top of the Rockies contest. The awards, which recognized work published in 2018, were presented May 3 at the Denver Press Club.

CCM reporters Alex DeWind, Jessica Gibbs and David Gilbert each won multiple first-place awards.

Entries came from Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.

Weekly and daily publications were grouped together, based on the size of the newspapers’ circulation, meaning the number of papers distributed. CCM’s winning entries were from the Elbert County News, the Golden Transcript, the Littleton Independent — each of which competed in the less-than-10,000 circulation classification — and the Highlands Ranch Herald in the

10,000-29,999 class.

The awards were presented on the heels of CCM’s 50 honors in the Colorado Press Association’s annual contest in April. The family-owned company, which publishes 18 weekly and three monthly newspapers in the Denver metro area, has won more than 150 awards over the past three years.

The Society of Professional Journalists, based in Indianapolis, is a national organization that was founded in 1909. The not-for-profit group works to “improve and protect” journalism and promote “high standards of ethical behavior,” its website states.

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 2

The Senate sponsor, Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, called the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners one of the most radical gun groups in the state, saying they’re out of touch with Colorado residents.

“Our attorney general will be prepared for that (lawsuit),” she said. “I think it’s interesting they’re trying to go after a process question here when their argument was that it was unconstitutional.”

House Majority Leader Alec Garnett, D-Denver, released a statement following the announcement of the lawsuit.

“This is not about what happened

during the debate — this is about the gun lobby trying to unwind a popular measure to help save and protect lives in Colorado,” he said. “Throughout the entire debate, no one approached me about the issue they are raising in their lawsuit. We have been extremely respectful of the rights of the minority party and this bill was respectfully debated in the House.”

Both Pettersen and Garnett pointed to the recent closure of schools across the metro area when 18-year-old Sol Pais traveled from Florida to Colorado, spurring a massive manhunt. Authorities believed she was infatuated with Columbine and discovered she procurred a weapon immediately after arriving in the Denver metro area. The incident is a prime example of why the Extreme Risk Protection Order is

While the challenging group believes the bill was passed improperly, they also maintain the law itself violated due process and the Constitution.

Brown promised more lawsuits could come and that this would not be the organization’s only approach to challenging the controversial legislation should the suit fail. The law is scheduled to go into effect in January.

Recall efforts spurred by the bill of more than 10 legislators in both the House and Senate remain underway and will not stop because of this lawsuit, Dudley said.

Dudley told Colorado Community Media the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners have also spoken with citizens planning to recall Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and will get

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearms trade association, applauded the pending law and its many sponsors.

The organization said such legislation has been introduced in 29 different numbered bills and included in 15 separate bill packages in the past 14 years, although none were successful until now.

The Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act, also called the “Range Bill,” has been a high-priority for NSSF, spokesman Mark Oliva told Colorado Community Media in March.

IN THEIR BUSINESS Assisted-stretching studio opens A new studio in Parker will introduce people of all ages and fitness levels to deep stretching and its benefits.

StretchLab Parker, which opened April 25, is owned and operated by Luke Jacobson. A local engineer, weekend warrior and habitual inventor, Jacobson wanted to combine his passion for helping others with his lifelong enjoyment of physical wellness, a news release said.

StretchLab services include a 25-minute stretch that concentrates on the client’s stretching needs, and a 50-minute head-to-toe deep stretch that addresses all major muscle groups. In addition to one-on-one stretching services, a small-format group stretch is available.

StretchLab Parker is at 10841 S. Crossroads Drive, Suite 6.Hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www.StretchLab.com or call 720-909-8520. goPuff launches delivery service A Philadelphia-based convenience retailer has launched its delivery service in Littleton. goPuff ’s location in Littleton is the company’s first in Arapahoe County and sixth in the state, according to a news release. goPuff stocks more than 2,000 products in centrally located warehouses in each city where it operates to bring products directly to the customer in the moments they need them most.

VACCINATIONS FROM PAGE 5

‘Communal effort’ Public health officials, and many parents, agree that choosing to not vaccinate puts individuals with compromised immune systems who can’t vaccinate, or babies who are too young to vaccinate, at risk.

“It’s a tremendous threat when you have a lower vaccination rate,” said Margaret Huffman, community health services director at Jefferson County Public Health. “We are counting on people who can be immunized to be vaccinated.”

Krissy Mosbarger, whose son has autism, said she believes in vaccinating but on a different schedule than the state recommends. After receiving several vaccines at the same time, she noticed changes in her son’s behavior, she said.

“We worked with our pediatrician to stagger the vaccination so they weren’t getting so many at one time after that,” Mosbarger, of Highlands Ranch, said on Facebook.

Vaccines are a victim of their own success, said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Depart-

To celebrate goPuff ’s entrance into Littleton, all customers who sign up for an account and place their first order of at least $9 by May 12 can add a complimentary pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to their cart (a coupon will be applied automatically at checkout once the order minimum is met).

Co-founded in 2013 by Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola, two Drexel University undergraduates, goPuff began by delivering 50 basic products before pivoting the company to a full convenience store and alcohol delivery service in 2014. Today, the brand operates in more than 75 major U.S. markets.

ment, which covers Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas Counties. Like other health care professionals, his concern is that measles has the potential to explode, threatening the progress made in the past 25 years to eradicate the infection.

Douglas also recognizes that people approach science and public policy differently, he said, adding that there needs to be a middle ground.

“It’s a communal effort,” Douglas said. “Ideally, you want to have people approaching this from a communitarian prospective.”

In the wake of measles outbreaks across several states, including New York, Michigan and Washington, health experts agree that now is a good time for people to discuss vaccination schedules and concerns with their health care providers.

“We all want our children to grow up in a world that is free from preventable diseases,” Elsa Ramirez, an executive officer at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, wrote in a opinion piece emailed to the media. “The single most important thing each of us can do to achieve that goal is to get fully vaccinated – for ourselves, our families, and our communities.”

Roof repair: Think ahead as hail season nears STAFF REPORT

Spring and hailstorm damage go hand in hand, making it high season for contractor complaints, according to a consumer advisory released by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Given the numerous complaints law enforcement receives this time of year, the advisory urges homeowners to consider steps to take for repairing a roof or property in the event of hail or storm damage.

According to the release, the greatest number of complaints are filed against door-to-door contractors, especially those who come knocking right after a hailstorm.

The most common type of complaint is contractor nonperformance — the homeowner gives money upfront to a contractor, who then disappears — closely followed by

poor quality of work grievances, the release says.

If the loss to the consumer exceeds the $7,500 amount for small claims court, the consumer might have to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit, the release says. And while consumers might win their judgment, it’s not always likely that they can collect.

While door-to-door contractors are not necessarily scam artists, doing business with one out of convenience is risky, the release says. The DA’s office advisory urges homeowners to do their due diligence: • Research all prospective contractors. Ask your insurance company for recommendations. Review the business on the Better Business Bureau website (www.bbb.org). Things to look at include the length of time the company has been in business and the number of complaints the business has received. How the

business handles complaints also is revealing.

• Check with the building department in your city or county to see if the contractor is licensed.

• Get at least three bids. Many companies will not request any payment before work is completed. A roofing contractor is prohibited by law from waiving your obligation to pay your insurance deductible.

• Understand the contract before signing. The contract should have a start and an end date, and a clause that indicates how disputes will be handled. Understand your obligation if the insurance company does not pay for something. Once the work commenses, get all change orders in writing.

• Get a signed lien waiver from the contractor when you make your payment to ensure that all subcontractors and suppliers have been

paid to avoid a lien being slapped on your home. Under the Colorado Mechanics Lien Law, subcontractors and suppliers have the right to place a lien on an owner’s property if they are not paid by the contractor for the work they performed on the home, according to the release.

• Understand your rights under the Residential Roofing Services statute. A roofing contractor must disclose their surety and liability coverage insurer, and provide the homeowner with written notification that the roofing contractor shall hold any payment form the residential property owner in trust until the roofing contractor has delivered roofing materials or has performed a majority of the roofing work on the residential property.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office consumer protection line is 720-874-8547.

Steps to start xeriscaping

The gardens at Kendrick Lake in Lakewood are a perfect example of a fully-xeriscaped landscape using a variety of native plants and low-water-use plants.

COURTESY PHOTO

LANDSCAPING FROM PAGE 14

“We encourage people to use rocks as accents in pathways, and in order to have an attractive landscape, try not to use more than 25 percent rock mulch. Natives, rock gardens and pea gravel are great, too.”

Wommack said you can have plants that require high water use in a xeriscaped yard, so long as they’re close together to conserve water. Grouping native plants and low-water-use plants together can help, but managing the irrigation system, Wommack said, is also key.

“The goal of xeriscaping is to group plants together in ‘hydro zones’ — plants with the same water needs

in the same areas,” Wommack said.

“That way you’re watering each area appropriately.”

For help to start xeriscaping your yard, the experts recommend people reach out to local water utility groups or conservation offices.

Colorado’s water problem Despite one of Colorado’s snowiest winters in recent memory, Wommack said it’s still not enough to pull almost half the state from severe or exceptional draught come the summer months.

“We have had some pretty bad droughts here in the last couple of years, which is hard for people to wrap their minds around with the winters we’ve had,” Wommack said.

Colorado is the only headwater state in the continental United States, meaning the state supplies water to many surrounding states.

THROUGH AUGUST 25

Serious Play: Design in Midcentury America is co-organized by the Denver Art Museum and the Milwaukee Art Museum. It is generously funded by the Estate of Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, the Adolph Coors Exhibition Endowment Fund, Johnson Foundation of the Rockies, National Endowment for the Arts, the donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign, and the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Special thanks to Mod Livin’. Generous support for the Free Play Zone is provided

by Herman Miller Cares. Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4, Comcast Spotlight, and The Denver Post.

“If Colorado runs out of water, it’s not just us that are going to be suffering. There are a lot of people down the line that are depending on Colorado for their water,” Wommack said.

Xeriscaping, Wommack said, is a good first step.

Wommack said the CSU Extension office in Castle Rock offers a tool to

tell you how much you should water your lawn based on the weather for that day. Visit CRConserve.com for more information.

“Xeriscaping does not have to be restrictive to the types of plants in your yard,” Wommack said, “it’s more about how you’re watering and being efficient that way.”

More than just limbs given at annual prosthetic clinic

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Donna Thornburg has one goal.

“I want to run more than anything in my life,” Donna Thornburg said as she completed an agility drill.

She was among more than a dozen people at Stermole Track & Field Complex on Sunday working on regaining functional movement during the seventh annual Colorado Adaptive Mobility Clinic. They moved laterally, crossing one foot in front of the other. They pushed their knees up high as they moved forward. They also skipped.

“Skipping just a minute ago was the closest I’ve come to running and I can’t tell you how that felt — it almost made me cry,” Thornburg said.

Thornburg who lives in Westminster, was parked at a car wash repositioning some tables that had slid in the back while driving before having her vehicle cleaned when another car slammed into hers — pinning her between them. Both knees were crushed, her left against the bumper and her right against the tow hitch.

That was 14 years ago. Two years ago, after about 20 surgeries including five knee replacements, she told doctors to take the leg off. Then she got cancer.

This past Sunday, May 5, was part of her first-time physical therapy.

“So now, I’m finally over the whole cancer thing ... now I want to learn to run,” Thornburg said.

She wasn’t alone.

“I was very active,” Nate Holzer of Henderson said. “Active snowboarder, runner, jogger, martial arts.

About two and a half years ago he got a blood clot behind his knee.

Then another. Then another. Each time with more complications.

“That totally knocked me down for quite some time,” Holzer said.

His leg was removed last October.

Sunday’s clinic was hosted by Hanger Clinic and UC Health, where Hanger Clinic collaborates with doctors and nurses.

Jill Shragal, who works with amputees at the Anschutz campus, said it’s a multidisciplinary onestop shop.

“It allows the patient to be seen in a team environment instead of going to this doctor, then going to that doctor and different appointments at different times,” said Brad Intrus, prosthetist for Hanger.

Shragal added, “Lots of ideas bouncing off and problem solving.”

She said they will see five to seven patients per week.

Common causes for amputation are traumatic event, vascular disease, cancer and diabetes, according to Shragal.

Traci Miller of Littleton had a rare vascular disorder that began affecting her at age 10. In 1986, after two dozen surgeries, she had her leg amputated at the age of 21. Saying she had been active in the past tense would be inaccurate. Miller

Donna Thornburg of Westminster practices running with a prosthetic during the seventh annual Colorado Adaptive Mobility Clinic in Golden on Sunday, May 5. The running blade prosthetic is more conducive for running, which is Thornburg’s goal after her leg was amputated two years ago.

SMITH runs, skis and wakesurfs among other athletic activities. She’s excited about her waterproof prosthetic to use it while jet skiing and windsurfing. She said the clinic is helpful.

“They teach the skills that really are normal because it’s not normal running skills, so learning how to bound off the thigh and what your other leg has to do to follow through,” Miller said.

Throughout the clinic, physical therapists helped give techniques while participants shared tips with each other.

At the end of the day, Thornburg and Holzer got fitted with running blades -- a prosthetic much more conducive to running than a traditional foot.

“I like the spring in my step,” Holzer said after his first run on the blade. “That was the first time I ran in two years. That felt excellent. I struggled, but it still felt excellent.”

Thornburg was also excited to get a feel for the blade and hopes it’s move in the right direction. She recalled teaching her dogs to pull wagons with her children in them -- before jogging strollers were commonplace. Memories of running are vivid.

“I dream about it,” Thornburg said. “I can run in my dreams.”

M

urphy Gienger hesitated before answering the question.

Gienger is a senior shortstop and pitcher with two arm angles for the Douglas County baseball team, but he was thrown a curve when asked which position he liked best.

“Man, that’s a tough question,” said Gienger, who will play baseball

Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Bo Jackson. He was a man. He didn’t care who was on the field with him, he just had that winning mentality.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I don’t know if I do anything away from sports. Either I’m playing, watching it or studying the game. I just can’t get enough of baseball. My favorite quote is: “Church is like baseball. Many attend but few understand.”

lead the team and be the big dog. I start a little bit but mainly I am a reliever. I like to get the tempo of the game before I go in.”

So far, Gienger is having his best high school season for the Huskies, who were ranked second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll.

“I just want to come out this year and have fun,” he said. “Just play baseball with the boys in the yard.

That’s my goal this year, and just win ball games.”

What is your mindset when coming into the game as a reliever?

Just throw strikes and do your job for the guys. Just get ground balls.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s a team kid. That’s what makes him a great player. He will celebrate other people’s victories and is always bringing guys up and keeping the team together. He’s a guy that guys follow.’

Craig Gienger, Douglas County head baseball coach

Q&A with Gienger

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My father (Craig Gienger). He’s been coaching me since I was a little kid. He keeps me going and makes me want to push myself more.

Douglas County senior shortstop, pitcher Murphy Gienger.

JIM BENTON

Key stats | After 16 games, Gienger was hitting .396 with 16 runs batted in. He had a 2.00 earned run average in 21 innings pitched, with a win and two saves.

What is your approach when down two strikes in the count?

I keep my two-strike approach the whole time and just look for a ball I can drive, and with two strikes, anything close just foul off and try to get another pitch.

Colorado students awarded Boettcher scholarships Graduating seniors in the Colorado Community Media coverage area are among those named 2019 Boettcher Foundation Scholars, according to a news release from the foundation.

“The Boettcher Foundation invests in the promise of Colorado and the potential of Coloradans, and these students represent the very best of our state,” Katie Kramer, president and CEO of the Boettcher Foundation, said in the release. “We are delighted that they have committed to attending Colorado universities.”

Established in 1952, the Boettcher Scholarship program annually awards scholarships to graduating high school seniors in Colorado.

The scholarship also includes programming and support to ensure that students reach their full leadership potential. Scholars are selected based on academics, service, leadership and character, and the Boettcher Scholar network includes more than 2,500 leaders who have gone on to make their marks in business, government, nonprofits, academia and other endeavors.

“Our 2019 Boettcher Scholars stood out from a highly competitive pool of nearly 1,500 qualified applicants,” Tiffany Anderson, the foundation’s director of programs, said in the release.

“This year’s class includes an entrepreneur who launched a dessert-focused catering business, a 13-year dancer in Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s Folklórico group, a student who completed the Junior Firefighter Academy and was certified as an Emergency Medical

THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS The following are the scholarship recipients in the Colorado Community Media coverage areas: Sunderland Baker, Northglenn High School, Adams 12 Five Star Schools. Baker will attend Colorado College.

In order to access the stormwater management facilities to ensure adequate operation and maintenance, appropriate easements shall be granted to Douglas County. For subdivision plats, the easements shall be recorded prior to the issuance of any construction permits. For site improvement plans, the easements shall be recorded prior to the release of a certificate of occupancy.

The easements shall be in a form approved by Douglas County.

City and County

Existing stormwater management facilities that do not have the required width may be required to be increased by the authorized enforcement agent to the minimum extent necessary when the authorized enforcement agent determines there are special circumstances applicable to the premises or the intended use, for which a wider easement is necessary to allow adequate maintenance of the proposed stormwater management facility; or

The required width may be allowed to be reduced by the authorized enforcement agent, upon receipt of a written variance request, when the authorized enforcement agent determines there are special circumstances applicable to the premises or the intended use, including but not limited to, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, which do not generally occur on other sites and which render it infeasible to develop the premises for uses allowed under the Douglas County Zoning Resolution, or which impose undue hardship, provided that the authorized enforcement agent also determines the proposed stormwater management facility can be adequately maintained with the reduced easement width.

Prior to accepting the easement, the authorized enforcement agent may require the removal of all encumbrances which are inconsistent with the purposes for which the easement is being granted. The easement shall be signed by an authorized person and recorded in the office of the Douglas County Clerk & Recorder.

City and County

(b) If the person discharging non-stormwater fails to comply with such suspension order, the authorized enforcement agent may take such actions as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage to the MS4 or waters of the State.

The authorized enforcement agent shall collect all costs incurred in taking such additional action pursuant to the procedures set out in Sections 8.3 and 8.4.

8.3 Civil Enforcement Action (a) The authorized enforcement agent may apply to the Douglas County Court or Douglas County District Court for an administrative entry and seizure warrant permitting the authorized enforcement agent and/or any additional persons deemed necessary and appropriate to abate the violation to enter the premises and take any and all actions necessary to abate the conditions violating this Ordinance and for restoration of the affected premises.

(b) Such application to the court shall include a copy of this Ordinance, a sworn or affirmed affidavit stating the factual basis for such warrant, evidence that notice of violation has been provided or that reasonable efforts to serve the notice of violation have been made to no avail and such person has failed to abate the condition within the prescribed period, and a general description of the location of the premises that is the subject of the warrant and a list of corrective actions needed.

(e) The Douglas County Clerk and Recorder may certify the amount of the lien to the Douglas County Treasurer who shall collect the amount of the lien, together with a ten percent (10%) penalty for the cost of collection, in the same manner as other taxes are collected. The laws of Colorado for assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale and redemption of property for taxes, shall apply to the collection of liens pursuant to this Ordinance.

The US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with assistance from local watershed sponsors, has completed a draft watershed plan supplement and environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed rehabilitation of Floodwater Retarding Structure (FRS) No. FP- B1 of the FranktownParker (Baldwin Gulch) Watershed, Douglas County (Baldwin Gulch Dam No. FP- B1). The sponsoring local organization for the project is: Douglas County Board of Commissioners A public meeting is scheduled for: PINE LANE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL (CAFETERIA) 6485 E. PONDEROSA DRIVE PARKER, CO 80138 MAY 30, 2019 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM; MST The public meeting is to seek input regarding Watershed Project Plan Supplement No. 1 and Environmental Assessment (EA). A copy of the completed document and this public notice may be downloaded for review from the links below.

Public comments will be accepted at the public hearing held on May 30, 2019 or submitted in writing (see instructions below). https://www.douglas.co.us/water/floodcontrol/baldwin-gulch-dam/ The project is a federally assisted action authorized by section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, 16 U.S.C. Section 1012, as amended by section 313 of Public Law 106-472. This section authori zes NRCS to provide technical and financial assistance to local sponsors for rehabilitation of aging dams constructed under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law 83-566).

FP B1 Dam was originally built in 1963 for the primary authorized purpose of flood prevention and to protect property within the FranktownParker and Cherry Creek Watershed project area from floodwater, sediment, and erosion damage. The Hazard Classification of Dam FP B1 was raised from low to high hazard by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Dam Safety Branch in a letter dated December 2, 2016. The dam is also classified as high hazard by the NRCS. Due to this, the dam does not meet current Colorado or NRCS dam performance and safety standards. The purpose is to perform maintenance rehabilitation for Dam FP B1 to meet current NRCS and Colorado Dam Safety and engineering standards and maintain the present level of flood control benefits.

The recommended plan is to rehabilitate the dam by constructing a roller compacted concrete (RCC) spillway section and abandoning the existing earthen spillway.

The principal spillway will be replaced to meet
