16th Street Mall gets step closer to smoking ban Some fear impact on homeless and effect on adjacent areas BY ANDREW KENNEY AKENNEY@DENVERITE.COM
dition has spread well beyond. Neely, who then claimed to be the only full-time tattoo artist in the state, worked on Colfax until 1960, when he moved his business to 281 S. Pearl St. Turns out that was as good a time as any to leave the area. By 1968, Denver had adopted the Skyline Urban Renewal Project, which eventually demolished 30 blocks of downtown.
A proposal to outlaw smoking and vaping on the 16th Street Mall produced both strong criticism and strong support at a recent meeting of a Denver city panel. On one hand, health experts, business leaders and Denver City Council President Albus Brooks said that the ban could make one of Denver’s busiest pedestrian areas more pleasant by reducing secondhand smoke and vapor. On the other, some councilmembers were concerned that the law might disproportionately affect people who are homeless and that it could push smokers onto other downtown streets instead. The city’s housing and safety committee ultimately sent the ordinance to the full Denver City Council, but not without some serious consternation. “First and foremost, this is about the health and wellness of the City and County of Denver,” said Brooks as he introduced the ordinance. As it’s proposed, it would allow police officers to issue tickets up to $100 to anyone smoking or using an ecigarette on the mall or within 50 feet of either edge. Failure to pay the tickets would mean that people could be hounded by collections agencies, and their credit could suffer. It would not be possible to be arrested for violating the ban.

Tattoo shops in Denver have come long way Colfax reputation has caused some businesses to locate elsewhere BY MEGAN ARELLANO DENVERITE.COM
Back in 1956, if you wanted to get a professional tattoo in Denver, there was only one option — William “Frenchie” Neely’s shop near Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard.
The location was a “deliberate move to avoid rough, tough clientele,” the Denver Post reported at the time. Over the next 50 years, tattoo shops proliferated across Colfax, but they became associated with the rough clientele Neely hoped to avoid. Today, Colfax is still home to quite a few, but it’s not the only place you can go — Broadway actually has just as many licensed tattoo shops, according to the city’s data. Colfax will always be the birthplace of tattooing in Colorado, but the tra-

The State Board of Education ended a two-year debate over how to measure the reading skills of Colorado’s youngest students learning English as a second language, following board members’ unanimous decision to adopt new policies to comply with a legislative compromise passed last spring. The rule change adopted Oct. 11 applies to English learners whose native language is Spanish. Under the boardapproved policy, school districts will be able to choose whether to test students who have limited English proficiency in either English or Spanish. The board, at the request of associations representing school executives and boards of education, backed off additional reporting requirements that were outside the scope of the legislation. But the new guidelines do provide parents the right to request students be tested in English, and requires school districts that reject such a request to share their reasoning with parents. “I think we need to give them that right,” said board member Val Flores, a Denver Democrat. “Districts shouldn’t fight them on this.” The board’s action coupled with this spring’s legislation reverses a decision the state board made in 2016 that required schools to test the literacy skills of students enrolled in kindergarten through third grade in English — even if they knew no English at all. The state board’s debate over the state’s early literacy law, the READ Act, was often framed more by the personal opinions of board members rather than education research and context provided by the state education department. Some conservative board members repeatedly raised the specter that school districts, especially those with large populations of English learners, were attempting to sidestep their duty of teaching English — or at least trying to hide poor results. School officials and other experts argued that testing a student’s literacy skills in a language they were more fluent in would provide better information to help teachers do their job. Colorado lawmakers passed the READ Act in 2012. The goal of the legislation, often considered one of the state’s landmark education reform efforts, was to increase the number of students reading at grade level by the third grade.
The law, as originally passed, was silent on whether schools were required to test students in English. Research has long held that students reading at grade level in third grade are more likely to have academic success through the rest of their educational careers. Conversely, students who aren’t reading at grade level by the third grade are more apt to drop out. The READ Act requires schools to monitor students for “significant” reading deficiencies. Students who are flagged are supposed to be put on a monitoring plan and are to receive additional services from the school. Putting the legislation into place in classrooms has provided mixed results. Some educators worry the policy adds an unnecessary testing burden on students and adds mountains of paperwork for teachers. Others say the READ Act has brought a renewed focus on a critical learning milestone. The state has wrestled for years with how to best gauge the literacy skills of students learning English as a second language. The debate peaked in 2016 when the then-Republican-controlled state board, over objections from education leaders in Denver and other school districts, adopted new rules requiring those young language learners to be tested at least once in English. Susana Cordova, who was then Denver Public Schools’ acting superintendent, warned the change would lead to more testing and possibly overidentifying English learners as having reading deficiencies. A bipartisan coalition of Colorado lawmakers went to work this year to reverse the state board’s decision. A compromise was ultimately reached that allowed school districts to choose in which language to test students enrolled in dual language programs who were not yet proficient in English. On Oct. 11, board member Steve Durham, a Colorado Springs Republican, reiterated his concern that the changes would open the door for school districts to sidestep an obligation to English language learners. He said there were only two reasons to oppose testing students in English: “One is you don’t value teaching kids English, or two you don’t want to admit failure in getting kids to speak English … otherwise everyone should be proud to report their READ Act results.” The board’s new rules could apply to other English learners if the state adopts literacy tests in other languages.

Opus Prize ceremony is inspirational gala Mercy Beyond Borders receives gift for work that empowers women SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA COURTESY OF REGIS UNIVERSITY
It would have been impossible to walk away from the Hyatt Regency’s Centennial Ballroom in downtown Denver on Oct. 11 and not feel that urge to “go forth and set the world on fire.” Regis played host to the 2017 Opus Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious faith-based humanitarian awards. It strives to inspire the next generation to pursue lives of service. The Opus Prize Foundation funds the $1 million award and two $100,000 awards recognizing social entrepreneurship. With an enthusiastic audience of students, alumni, faculty, staff and members of the greater Denver community, Father John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J., named Sister Marilyn Lacey and her nonprofit organization, Mercy Beyond Borders, as this year’s $1 million winner. Working in Haiti and South Sudan, Lacey and her organization are helping women and girls escape extreme poverty through educational, economic and empowerment opportunities. “I felt called by God to help these women and girls who are suffering,” Lacey said earlier in the day. “In serving others, we can find a connectedness, a kinship that leads to binding joy.” The other two finalists included Sister Stan Terese Mumuni — founder of Nazareth Home for God’s Children, which works in Ghana caring for

Jason Reinking and Noha Aboelata, whose work through Roots Community Health Center is providing health care to impoverished people living on the streets of Oakland, California. “Your work truly restores hope and ignites the possibilities for those who live at the margins,” Fitzgibbons said, addressing all three finalists. “We are inspired and moved by your example.” The Denver City & County Building at 1437 Bannock St. was lit with Regis blue and gold last week to honor the Opus Prize and the University’s 140th anniversary, which is Nov. 5.

At that time, downtown was home to lots of adult businesses, and Neely’s shop would have been considered one of them. Many of the displaced businesses ended up moving to Colfax, the nearest location where adult businesses were allowed. (Again, tattoo shops were considered adult businesses.) By 1978, there were four tattoo shops along Colfax Avenue. This was enough for the Capitol Hill newsletter to declare that tattoos were officially “big business.” Times have changed These days, only one of them is still tattooing — End of Days, then known as the Emporium of Design, at 2024 E. Colfax Ave. Founders Paul Ullerich and Dennis “Sugar Bear” Lovold bought what used to be “Ye Old Tattoo Shop,” says EOD’s Frank “Wolfman” Speaker. Ullerich and SugarBear took the shop from a “pit” with a flooded basement to the place where “anybody who’s anybody” in Denver started tattooing, Speaker said. For a 19-year-old graduate from Colorado Art Institute, like Speaker, the Colfax atmosphere was a little unnerving. “After a while, you really grow to love it down here. There’s never a dull moment on Colfax for sure,” he said. “After 35 years, this is more home to me than my own home.” Still, the Colfax environment isn’t an asset, Speaker admits. The location was more a function of necessity, since places to open an adult business were limited. But because of that, a unique culture has arisen among Colfax tattoo artists. “There’s a certain tradition — people that have tattooed on Colfax and then go and open their own shop, they kind of want to stay on Colfax because after a while, you really grow to love it down here,” he said. That’s certainly true for Fingers, who runs FreshMade Tattoos and Piercings at 6640 E. Colfax Ave. “It takes a special breed to run a shop on East Colfax. It takes a completely different breed to be able to work on Colfax and deal with those people, to deal with the slow days,” Fingers said. Tragic start to legacy Like EOD, FreshMade Tattoos and Piercings carries the legacy of its
‘To me, it makes no difference whether (my shop) was on Broadway or Colfax, but when I was looking to open a place, I purposefully did not look on Colfax because I knew my clientele.’ Beth ‘Sister Bear’ Lovold, Owner, Blue Door Tattoo old owners. It goes back to when a shop called Mr. Tank’s Tattoos and Piercing operated in the location. A decade ago, Josh Trobaugh opened Mr. Tank’s Tattoos and Piercing, but was murdered less than six months later. A colleague of Trobaugh’s then reopened the shop under the same name. “It took five years before this spot even had clientele. He could’ve changed the name from Mr. Tank’s Tattoos to something else, but he didn’t do that. He kept that man’s dream alive,” Fingers said. Still, it’s that exact type of story that’s prompted other tattoo artists to open up shop elsewhere. “To me, it makes no difference whether (my shop) was on Broadway or Colfax, but when I was looking to open a place, I purposefully did not look on Colfax because I knew my clientele,” said Beth “Sister Bear” Lovold, who owns The Blue Door Tattoo at 562 S. Broadway. Lovold’s no pushover. Dennis Lovold’s sister, she started her tattooing apprenticeship at EOD in the early 1980s, a time when there weren’t many female tattooists. “Some of the guys said, `Can I have a guy do my tattoo?’ I’d say, `Well, you have a woman, and you might like it,’” she said. Lovold worked down on West Colfax for a while too, but when it was time to open her own shop, she opted to make her customers comfortable. “I do areola repigmentation for breast cancer patients and any other kind of medical tattooing that doctors or clients deem necessary, and it’s more comfortable for them not to go to Colfax just because Colfax has such a bad rap.” Same for Alicia Cardenas, owner of Sol Tribe Tattoo, 56 Broadway. She also worked near Colfax for a while but found that people were scared of the street. “I still have friends that have shops on Colfax, and they do great,” Cardenas said. “The customer is different.” As tattoos become more and more mainstream, environments like

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote for Cobian I am writing to share my endorsement of Angela Cobián for Denver Public Schools Board District 2. I am absolutely sure that Angela will represent students and their families who attend Denver Public Schools, work in the neighborhood, and call southwest Denver home, just as I do. I have a niece and two nephews who are currently in Denver Public Schools, as well as two nieces who have already graduated through our public school system. As a graduate of Denver Public Schools, I have dedicated the past 10 years of my life to improving access to quality education, transportation and the addition of new schools in southwest Denver. I know firsthand that the students and families need a champion in their corner. That champion is Angela. Her passion, her story and her dedication to our community makes her the best candidate possible. She understands the challenges and obstacles that families face every day when they are sending their children off to school. Her priorities and perspectives are an example of thinking outside the box. We need someone who is innovative and engaging to represent us on the Denver Public School Board. I hope you will join me in supporting Angela by voting for her this November! Anita Banuelos Athmar Park, southwest Denver

But in real life, I draw inside the lines. And that’s why Smitty is on a leash. An unleashed dog is a recipe for consequences no one wants. Your dog bites or is bitten. Your dog runs away or is run over. As you all know, there are designated off-leash dog parks in Douglas County. For what it’s worth, if a dog confronts my dog, I will do whatever I have to do to assure the safety — and longevity — of my dog. Smitty thinks he is ferocious, but a larger dog could dismantle him quite easily. Sometimes dogs will just sniff each other, and sometimes they think they are Tyson and Spinks. None of that comes into play, if your dog is leashed. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
Get off the fence when it comes to forgiveness If you do not have anyone in your life that you need to or should forgive, or if you have no reason to be forgiven yourself, you may want to skip this column WINNING today. However, if WORDS you believe that there are one or more people who you would feel better about forgiving, and if there are any people that you believe could offer you forgiveness, then this column is for you Michael Norton and I invite you to keep reading. For me personally, I like to believe that I am very good at forgiving others, regardless of the hurt or misunderstanding. And as far as being forgiven by others, let’s just say that is a work in progress for now as I work on my own forgiveness fences. So what is a forgiveness fence? It is that barrier that we place between ourselves and those who have hurt us in some way, large or small. It’s that fence that we want
to stay behind until we receive a proper apology. It’s that wall that holds us hostage from forgiving others and freeing ourselves from the pain, the exhaustion of the battle, and inability to move forward. The forgiveness fence is also what separates others from forgiving us. It is an obstruction to allowing us to forgive ourselves. The forgiveness fence grows wider and higher with each day that passes where we cannot forgive ourselves and where others will not forgive us for whatever reason. The forgiveness fence is built by both parties so that we can live in the anguish of not forgiving or we can stand on the other side of the fence feeding a grudge that needs to go away. I am sure you have heard the saying when someone is torn between two options, they say something like, “I am on the fence about that.” Well, how many of us are riding the fence on forgiveness? We know we should give it, we are so close, we are right there, we are on top of the fence, all we need to do is get to the other side.

The other side of this story is this: I am seeing an unleashed dog and I am seeing you, but it is not your dog. However, you call out a name and it comes running. Whenever I see an unleashed dog, I think of Woodstock, because it was cool, man, to walk around Max Yasgur’s dairy farm with a large, unleashed dog. It shows that you are an independent thinker, and the winds of life are at your back and in your favor. It shows that you, yourself, are an unleashed dog. It also shows that you are a jackass. I guess it’s cavalier. Some of us roll stop signs and follow too closely. Twenty items in a 10-items-or-less line. Leashing your dog might be seen as a sign of conformity. You know? Do as you’re told. Draw inside the lines. I learned how to draw because I didn’t have lines to draw inside of. I was given blank books, and was told: “Draw.”

You may not agree with me on this next statement, however I believe that we make forgiveness harder than it has to be, don’t we? And the longer we withhold it, the longer we go on refusing to forgive others or ourselves, the wider and higher that fence grows. To make things easier, we don’t have to worry about scaling a wall or climbing a fence, all we have to do is “be” the door. Did you catch that? We don’t build a door or construct a gate, we are the door, we are the gateway to forgiveness. We own that step. Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness is freeing. Forgiveness costs us nothing — it is free. So how about you? Are you riding the fence of forgiveness or are you enjoying the freedom of forgiveness? I would really love to hear your forgiveness stories at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can be the gateway to forgiveness, it really will be a better than good week.

SMOKING FROM PAGE 1
Impact on homeless Some of the strongest criticism came over homelessness issues. Diane Thiel, one of the Denver residents who spoke in opposition, described it as “persecution dressed up as a health measure.” Terese Howard, a member of Denver Homeless Out Loud, said that the ban could prove “discriminatory.” She pointed to Fort Collins, where 83 percent of the people cited for violating a public smoking ban over a 10-month period were homeless, according to records compiled by DHOL. Howard later said that her main concern is that police officers will specifically target homeless smokers in order to force them off the mall. Councilman Rafael Espinoza was sympathetic to that concern, pointing to data that shows smoking is more common among people with lower incomes. “I am concerned that we are targeting a very, very vulnerable population,” he said. He said that a smoking ban seemed like it continued a trend of “privatizing” the mall. “We have … dumped millions and millions of dollars since the mid-’80s into sterilizing it,” he said. Councilmembers Robin Kniech and Paul Kashmann also asked who the ban would affect. “I also am concerned with people with no other option, people who

can’t go home to smoke,” Kniech said. Kashmann requested “reasonable options for those who can’t go home, can’t smoke in their car.” Both Kashmann and Espinoza said they would like the bill better if it were reversible or if it were temporary, meaning it would have to be renewed after a certain time. Some see upside Others argued for the ban’s benefits. Brooks said that the bill is not at all targeted at homeless people. He has seen a mix of people smoking on the mall, including many in suits and ties, and it would be easy for people to walk off the mall for a smoke, he said. “It’s really not that far,” he said. And while some asked whether smokers now would flood Skyline Park or 17th Street, Brooks argued that they would disperse evenly through downtown. Other supporters of the measure included property owners, medical experts and downtown business officials. “When you’re in the public domain, you have to share it,” said Jon Buerge, chairman of the downtown business improvement district. He said that a recent lunch on the mall had been “ruined” by secondhand smoke. Councilmembers Paul López and Debbie Ortega both said that collecting data could help the city ensure the ban is fairly enforced. Brooks has said that the ban would begin with a “soft” period where officers simply tell people to stop smoking. Once it’s

in full effect, police still would try to take a light touch, he said. “It’s a campaign of awareness,” he said. Don Cohen, the president of the Riverfront Park Association, said that the ban could make the mall more secure by giving police legal justification to contact more people. “I’ve learned that an ordinance that prohibits smoking lays the groundwork for proper legal contact with citizens who might have the potential for disruptive or illegal behavior,” he said. “This would be a very powerful tool for maintaining safety and security on the mall.” His organization of residents near Commons Park want to see smoking banned in all parks, especially Commons Park, he said. Brooks said that homelessness services providers had objected to the idea of a full parks ban on smoking and vaping. Other concerns included the fact that restaurant workers and other employees of mall businesses might want to smoke during their breaks. They may be allowed to do so on loading docks or in alleys; the council members requested more information on how the ban would apply in service areas near the mall. Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore moved to send the proposal to the full council, and López seconded. There were no objections. The council could hear a first reading on Oct. 23 and hold a final vote on Oct. 30. Ban would be extensive The ban would run the length of the mall and also include all public

spaces within 50 feet of its edges, including part of Skyline Park. It would not set aside any designated smoking areas within the mall. Smoking (but not vaporizing) already is banned within 25 feet of building entries in Denver. But since the mall is about 80 feet wide in many places, that leaves plenty of space to smoke. Brooks has argued that vaporizers are harmful because they “re-normalize” smoking in public and “create the impression that the use of such devices is associated with a healthy lifestyle.” Plus, you can use them to smoke weed sneakily, he pointed out. Barry Make, a pulmonologist at National Jewish Health, said that the ban proposal had his and his employer’s “strongest possible support.” Federal research has found that secondhand smoke causes tens of thousands of premature deaths each year in the United States. The effects of vaporizers/e-cigarettes aren’t as well known, but they can include harmful additives, including their flavoring, Make said. About 17 percent of local adults smoke, compared to New York City and Seattle’s 10 percent, according to stats compiled by Denver Health. Both of those cities ban smoking in all of their parks, unlike Denver. In Colorado, numerous other cities have banned smoking in public transit waiting areas, which Denver hasn’t done.

Mazes offer SCARES, family fun Venues work to offer a challenge, atmosphere BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
There are many features that make a good haunted house, but there’s one none can do without — atmosphere. That’s a tricky thing to create artificially, but few places have it in spades like a cornfield at night. “A good haunt is all about atmosphere, and outdoors at night just has that naturally,” said John Hopwood, the owner of Reapers Hollow, a 100 percent outdoor haunted experience in Parker’s Flat Acres Farm. “We want people to get off their phones and video games and get
outside.” Flat Acres, the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Chatfield Farms, and Thornton’s Maize in the City have all found ways to expand their seasonal offerings by opening their corn mazes during the day for families and children, and providing a more adult, haunted experience in the evenings. “With the growth of haunted houses all over the area, people are looking for a haunted attraction this time of year,” said Larry Vickerman, director of the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. “A lot of people think we’re just a maze, but at night we get to try something different.” Activities during the day at the mazes vary from location to location, and include everything from pumpkin patches to vendors, petting zoos and children’s mini mazes.
“One of my favorite things about being here is showing kids our nine-acre pumpkin patch,” Vickerman said. “A lot of them don’t know pumpkins are grown, so to see their faces at our pumpkin patch is a lot of fun.” When it comes to designing a maze that people enjoy, the best thing one can do is not make it too easy, explained Joe Palombo, co-owner of Maize in the City. “There are multiple ways to get through it, because people want the fun of a challenge,” he added. “We have a smartphone game people can customize for the kind of event they want, which makes it really challenging and personal.” Since the haunts are outside at all three SEE MAZES, P9

locations, more actors are used than animatronics or other technologically driven scares. Which is what the customers want, Palombo found, when they come to Haunted Field of Screams, Maize in the City’s haunted counterpart. “We have about 100 actors who work with us during the season,” he said. “Human interaction is a great way to have more real scares.” A good haunt actor needs to be high energy and maintain their characters, Hopwood explained. At Reapers Hollow, he lets his actors do a lot of ad-libbing and improvisation. All three haunts have multiple haunted attractions, included a haunted hayride at Chatfield, the Zombie Paintball Massacre at the Field of Screams, and the Dead End Motel in Parker. By giving visitors two options, both in the day and evening, these places provide a little something for everyone. “We have a lot of families in the day, and during the nights we get a lot of couples on date nights,” Hopwood said. The mazes also serve as a form of expression for their creators. “What we do is a great creative outlet for me,” Palombo said. “It’s fun to share it with people, and think of new things every year.”
Thornton’s Maize in the City venue is a family friendly place for guests to explore, buy pumpkins and grab a bite to eat.

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on August 25, 2015 at Reception Number 2015119678 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Denver, Colorado. WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraph 9 (a) (i) has been violated; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $184,368.90 as of September 1, 2017; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on July 19, 2017 at Reception No. 2017094067 notice is hereby given that on October 30, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: NORTH ONE HALF OF PLOT TWO (2), BLOCK THIRTY FIVE (35), MOUNTAIN VIEW PARK, CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER, STATE OF COLORADO. Commonly known as: 720 South Canosa Court, Denver, CO 80219. The sale will be held at 720 South Canosa Court, Denver, CO 80219. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, PURSUANT TO C.R.S. § 19-5-103.7, AS FOLLOWS:
You have been identified by the birth mother, Sarah Marie Flores, as the alleged biological father of her child, Nena Flores, born on October 9, 2017 in Colorado. Ms. Flores plans to relinquish her parental rights to the child on an expedited basis in the Clear Creek County District Court, State of Colorado, where the adoption agency has a satellite office, pursuant to C.R.S. § 19-5-103.5 in order to make the child available for adoption. Bethany’s address in Clear Creek County is 1630 Miner Street, Idaho Springs, CO 80452. In connection with this matter you are advised as follows:
1. Placing a child for adoption requires termination of the birth mother and alleged birth father(s) parent-child legal relationships. Termination of parental rights means that pursuant to a court order, all rights powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations existing between a parent and a child are permanently severed, except for inheritance rights, which will be severed at the time of the final decree of adoption. Upon termination of parental rights, a parent shall: (a) no longer have the right to custody of, or parenting time with the child; (b) no longer have the right to any information concerning the whereabouts, activities, health, or wellbeing of the child; and (c) have no say in any further decisions concerning said child. 2. As an alleged birth father, you have the right to contest the termination of any parental rights you may have to the child.
3. Failure to declare an intent to contest the termination of parental rights may likely result in a termination of parental rights to the child. In order to contest the termination of the parent-child legal relationship, you must:
• Request and then return a “Reply Form to Notice of Anticipated Expedited Relinquishment” to Bethany Christian Services of Colorado at either of their main offices at 3000 South Race Street, Denver, CO 80210 (303) 221-0734 or 4820 Rusina, Suite C, Colorado Springs, CO 809078127 (719) 591-7595 or to Grob & Eirich, LLC, 12596 W.
