Councilor quits after communist views spotlighted Social media posts from John Stone, who posed with weapons in photos, had drawn backlash

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood City Councilmember John Stone resigned, effective im-

mediately, just after the start of the council’s regular meeting on March 1. Stone had been in the spotlight for Twitter posts that contained what another councilmember decried Stone as “violent rhetoric” and after some in the community expressed surprise at the communist political views his tweets reflected.

Online, some talk had arisen of a

formal effort to remove Stone from office, although that had not been confirmed by city officials as of the evening of March 1.

Just after 7 p.m., one hour into the video recording of the council’s overall virtual meeting, Stone requested an unexpected change to the meeting schedule to address the council and community immediately, telling Englewood residents that he has been reading their emails and other messages in the wake of backlash against his

social media posts.

Some Englewood residents had found printouts in their mailboxes of tweets from some of Stone’s Twitter accounts that have been deactivated. They include tags such as “#ArmedLeftist” and “#F---Capitalism,” along with other critical rhetoric about the economic system.

Another tweet included a photo of Stone posing shirtless with a firearm, with the caption, “Yeah, SEE STONE, P6

Garbage truck crashes into home Homeowner was asleep when truck demolished front room

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A retiree was left wondering what will become of his home after a Waste Management garbage truck crashed through his living room.

Dave Silva said he was napping in a back room with his dog Sunshine when he heard a loud boom at about 11:30 a.m. Feb. 24.

“I thought a bomb went off,” Silva said. “Sunshine went running out back. When I looked in my front room, there was a garbage truck in it.”

The truck demolished the front wall of the house in the 3300 block of South Julian Street, a retaining wall in the front yard and Silva’s car. Nobody else was in the house — located in unincorporated Arapahoe County near Englewood — at the time, and Silva was not injured.

Littleton Public Schools is slated to bring all middle and high school students back for full-time, inperson classroom learning starting March 15, more than a month ahead of schedule.

“We’ve heard from students, parents and staff that a return to a more normal in-person school experience every day would be the very best thing we could do for our community’s children,” reads a letter from the district to parents in part.

Elementary school students have been full-time in-person since the spring semester began in January.

Middle and high school students have been on a hybrid schedule, with just two days a week in the classroom and the rest online.

District officials originally planned to bring the upper grades back inperson in late April.

The move is possible thanks to improving COVID numbers and vaccination rates, district officials say.

The district will be part of a wave of metro-area public school districts bringing students back to classrooms full-time in mid-March, along with Jefferson County, Douglas County, Adams 12 and several in northern Colorado.

At a Feb. 25 school board meeting, Superintendent Brian Ewert said the past year has brought a swirl of passionate opinions from all sides on how to handle COVID restrictions, and ultimately he felt compelled to make a judgment call.

“I place a high value on collaboration, but this full return to school was not a collaborative decision,” he

said. “As the superintendent, I made this decision and I stand by my decision… Ultimately, I will be held accountable for my decision.”

Ewert said students, their parents and the community have a pressing need to return to something resembling normal. “(Students) need each other,” he said. “They need to come back to school full-time not just for their learning but also for their social and emotional well-being.”

Just under half of the district’s staff had received at least one vaccine dose as of Feb. 25, Ewert said, with a little more than 10% having received both doses, numbers he said he expected to climb rapidly in coming weeks.

Ewert acknowledged that physical distancing between students will get much more difficult once all students are back in classrooms, with the six feet of distance recommended by the Centers for Disease Control likely impossible. Still, he expressed confidence that face coverings, symptom screenings and hygiene protocols would make up the difference.

Some parents and students were left dismayed by the decision, saying they chose hybrid learning over allonline learning in the fall based on the idea that district officials would hold out longer.

“You’re changing that in the middle of the year,” one parent said to the school board, saying he was worried about asymptomatic spread in schools and adding it was too late in the semester to transfer to TOPS, the district’s all-online alternative.

“There’s no guidance for parents who don’t want to go back full-time.”

An Arapahoe High School senior who said she is a type 1 diabetic and therefore at higher risk said she doesn’t feel comfortable returning to packed classrooms, and her honors classes aren’t offered in the TOPS program.

Officials hope to give tenants more power Advocates back on task amid changes brought by pandemic

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Before the coronavirus pandemic, and before an economic crisis that pushed unemployment to historic levels, Colorado policymakers were already working on plans to equalize the power between landlords and tenants.

Back in 2019, what was dubbed the “year of the renter,” a slate of Democrat-backed bills at the statehouse never materialized. A few new laws were passed to help renters, but the bulk of the agenda stalled.

Now — after a year in which the state and federal government enacted eviction moratoriums to keep an unknown number of Coloradans from ending up homeless — tenant advocates are picking up where they left off.

“Prior to COVID, people were paying more than half of their income toward rent,” said Cesiah Guadarrama Trejo, a co-director of 9to5 Colorado. “What COVID did is shined a light on how vulnerable renters were if they went without just one or two paychecks. I don’t think anyone imagined what would happen to have weeks and weeks of unemployment.”

A key goal for the working women’s advocacy group is curbing “predatory” late fees tacked onto rent payments that cause renters to fall even further behind. Other efforts include limiting rent increases to no more than once per year, allowing tenants more time to catch up on payments before the eviction process can begin, and changing court procedures so that renters don’t have to pay in order to make a claim that their home is unsafe.

Legislation filed before the pan-

demic, and struck down in a committee hearing last year, would have prohibited landlords from charging late fees until a rent payment was at least 14 days late. The bill also would have capped late fees at $20 or less than 3% of the rent amount.

The same Democratic lawmakers who ran that bill want to pass more comprehensive legislation this year, hoping that fellow policymakers are swayed by stories of eviction and homelessness brought on by the 2020 economic crisis.

The upcoming legislation from Democrats Rep. Serena GonzalesGutierrez, Sen. Julie Gonzales and Rep. Yadira Caraveo will tackle the daily late fees that some landlords add onto rent, and would prohibit evictions based solely on late fees.

They also want to crack down on landlords who illegally lock people out of their homes, and make it easier for tenants to seek help in court if they live in unsafe conditions, such as no heat or water, or if there are holes in their roof. The bill, which has not yet been filed, would eliminate the requirement in state law that tenants must post a bond in order to bring such a case.

Legislator stays focused Gonzales-Gutierrez, a former child welfare caseworker who once found children living in a mobile home with mold on the ceiling and a giant hole for a front door, has been working on renters’ rights bills for the past two years. Legislation she passed in 2020, along with Gonzales, prohibits landlords from demanding proof of immigration or citizenship status from a tenant.

Another successful bill, passed in 2019, prevented landlords from charging exorbitant fees to file an apartment rental application.

The eviction moratoriums and rental assistance programs passed during the pandemic are “BandAids,” while Colorado needs

As ‘blue’ level expands, virus spread is at critical juncture Hospitalizations, deaths could ramp back up if UK variant spreads, behavior loosens

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even as Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions loosened in the past couple of months, the state continued to enjoy falling rates of new coronavirus cases — but Coloradans risk reversing that trajectory if they start to have more face-toface contacts than they do now.

“If Colorado remains on the current trajectory, statewide hospital demand and cases will continue to decline,” a Feb. 24 report by the Colorado School of Public Health says.

Optimistically, the report adds: “It will be over a month before hospital demand and infection prevalence reach (the low) levels comparable to last summer.”

The state may be on a riskier track, though, if Coloradans start to have more in-person contacts and let their guard down on behaviors such as mask-wearing.

A key indicator to watch is the “effective reproduction number,” sometimes written “Re,” a measure of how rapidly COVID-19 infections are spreading. It’s a

similar measure to Colorado’s R0 — pronounced “R-naught” — that state officials discussed in the pandemic’s earlier stages.

The reproduction number shows how many people each infected person will, on average, likely spread the virus to. If the number sits below 1, infections are decreasing.

Colorado’s most recent estimate is 0.95, reflecting the virus’s spread in early February. That means the rate of new cases could soon start to increase again if the public isn’t cautious.

Coloradans appeared to be having more in-person contacts in early February compared to in January, according to the report.

On top of that, if the more-contagious COVID-19 variant from the United Kingdom spreads rapidly in Colorado, the state could see another peak in hospital demand, the report says.

As of late February, Colorado is not seeing rapid spread of concerning variants, according to the state public-health department.

But the UK variant could begin to take firmer hold by mid-March, the report says.

Those developments come as more counties close to Denver — including Jefferson, Park, Clear Creek and Broomfield — recently entered level blue on Colorado’s color-coded “dial” of restrictions, further loosening rules for restaurants and other businesses.

SEE HOW LEVELS COMPARE The state’s color-coded COVID-19 dial is the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread. The level a county qualifies for on the dial generally depends on the county’s rate of new cases, its percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

The restrictions apply to capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings.

See a full list of which restrictions apply to which levels on the dial at covid19. colorado.gov/data/covid-19-dial-dashboard by clicking on “level restrictions” about halfway down the page.

Blue could soon spread Level blue, the next-lowest notch on the dial since the Denver metro area entered level yellow on Feb. 6, appears to be a possibility for more metro counties in the next several weeks.

The state’s COVID-19 dial is the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread.

Counties now land in level blue when they drop below 100 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people within one week, a measure known as a county’s incidence rate.

As of Feb. 25, Adams County sat at 129, Arapahoe at 115, Douglas at 136, Denver at 112 and Weld at 137.

Elbert County appeared poised to

possibly move into level blue the soonest, with a rate of 75.

The level a county qualifies for generally also depends on the county’s percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive and whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

To move to a lower level, a county must meet the criteria for all three metrics.

Hospitalizations are considered on a regional basis, so if hospitalizations are stable or declining regionally, counties still can move to a different level, according to a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center. That’s the office that takes questions for the state public-health department.

The state moved Broomfield to level blue effective Feb. 22, according to Broomfield’s website.

Jefferson, Park and Clear Creek counties entered level blue on Feb. 26, according to the state’s COVID-19 website.

In level blue, restaurants indoors are allowed up to 50% capacity or 175 people (or up to 225 using the state’s social distancing space calculator), whichever is fewer. That’s up from 50% capacity or 50 people (or up to 150 using the calculator), whichever is fewer, in level yellow. Other businesses see capacity expand as well.

Changing standards The dial changed with the addition of a new level red that took effect Nov. 20 in metro Denver and other areas of the state, banning private gatherings and indoor dining at restaurants and tightening capacity limits at some types of businesses. Red is the secondhighest level next to purple, a stay-at-home order. Eventually, more than half the state’s 64 counties operated in level red.

Citing improving virus trends, Gov. Jared Polis on Dec. 30 announced that he told the state public-health department to move counties from red to orange effective Jan. 4 — even though many didn’t meet requirements for level orange according to the dial system.

Under the “dial 2.0” changes to Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions on Feb. 6, the state public-health department drastically eased the incidence-rate limits that allow counties to remain in certain levels of the dial. The “dial 2.0” system put Denver metro counties in level yellow.

‘If the B.1.1.7 variant spreads rapidly in Colorado and (in-person contacts increase) over the short term, we could see another peak in hospital demand.’

As of Feb. 25, the state’s trend of new cases per day appears as if it may be flattening after several weeks of mostly steady decline.

The school of public health’s estimate of daily infections appears to show a flattening in recent weeks. Meanwhile, after several weeks of general decline in the number of daily deaths among people with COVID-19, the number of deaths stayed flat in late January and showed a small uptick at the end of that month.

“If the B.1.1.7 variant spreads rapidly in Colorado and (in-person contacts increase) over the short term, we could see another peak in hospital demand,” the report says. If contacts increase drastically enough and Colorado sees rapid spread of the variant, demand could exceed intensive care unit capacity and approach hospital capacity, according to the report.

If trends take a turn for the worse, it is too early in Colorado’s vaccination distribution to create enough community protection to prevent another spike in cases and deaths, the State Joint Information Center said.

Asked if the state public-health department anticipates counties needing to be moved back to level yellow, orange or even red when spring weather and Memorial Day cause people to gather more, the center said it’s unclear.

“We are encouraged by the recent data, but it’s too early to tell what disease transmission will look like in the spring,” the center said.

STONE FROM PAGE 1

I just chill in bed with multiple firearms. Don’t you?” Another, of Stone shirtless and holding a knife, read, “Who wants a little poke?”

It’s unclear how many residents received a copy, but word of the tweets had spread in Englewood and became a point of contention at recent city council meetings. The printouts appear to have been circulated in mailboxes in mid-February and later garnered attention on social media.

In the build-up to the surprise announcement, Councilmember Othoniel Sierra was one of Stone’s colleagues who had taken issue with what he called the “hateful and even violent rhetoric” in the posts, saying at the council’s study-session meeting Feb. 22 that it “makes me sick to my stomach” to see the posts coming from an Englewood councilmember.

On Feb. 26, Mayor Linda Olson provided a statement to Colorado Community Media about Stone’s tweets.

“While each of us on city council share the same privileges of the First Amendment in our public and private lives, I personally do not share nor support the values portrayed in Mr. Stone’s social media posts,” Olson wrote. “I believe citizens expect a higher standard of behavior from their elected officials.”

During the March 1 meeting, Stone said he realized that serving on city council “is not the fit for me

and that I need to do other work in other places.”

“I apologize for any harm that people feel I’ve done,” Stone said. “I wanted to serve this community, and I will continue serving this community in every way that I possibly can in a better field that I am better suited to.”

Stone expressed gratitude for the time he spent on council and pride in the council’s actions during his time.

“I know that this city council will pick an appropriate replacement for me … until someone can be elected to replace me, and I leave our community in your hands,” Stone said.

“Thank you.”

Other councilmembers thanked Stone for “taking accountability” and had kind words to say before he logged off of the public meeting, which was held over videoconferencing.

In the days leading up to the meeting, an apparently anonymous Facebook page called “Recall John Stone” was created, though it had only garnered 16 follows as of March 1. Geoff Frazier, a 37-year-old Englewood resident and Democrat, had sent an email to the Arapahoe County Democratic Party; Stone; state Rep. Meg Froelich and state Sen. Jeff Bridges, who represent Englewood and nearby areas; and Olson and Sierra, saying he had helped campaign for John Stone in 2019 but now regrets supporting him.

Frazier urged Stone to step down, adding: “It is important for you to know that your response will have a direct impact on whether myself and other Englewood Democrats

We do estate planning, estate administration, and probate.

We do it extensively and we do it well. Our team has served the Denver Metro area for more than 30 years.

actively and financially support an already organized recall effort against Member Stone.”

After Stone’s surprise resignation on March 1, Olson said she “cares a lot about” Stone although they “don’t see eye-to-eye on some things.”

“I hope the best as you move forward and with some of the great passions that you have for other people,” Olson said.

Councilmember Joe Anderson, who in a previous council meeting had criticized Stone’s rhetoric at length, appeared to tear up and became emotional after Stone’s resignation announcement.

“Thank you to member Stone for stepping up and serving on council, and I do want to wish him sincerely the richest blessings in his future endeavors,” Anderson said, his voice starting to break. He added: “I do wish you the best.”

‘A sensational thing’

In an interview last week with Colorado Community Media, Stone — who won an at-large seat on the city’s seven-member council in 2019 — said he uses “communist” to describe his views.

“I am a communist. I’m open about it,” Stone wrote on Facebook.

“I was open about it when I was campaigning.”

In a since-deactivated Twitter account, Stone — who also listed himself as a labor organizer — identified himself as “anarcho-socialist,” or anarchist socialist.

“Like many other Englewood Democrats I have spoken with, I feel duped by Member Stone’s dishonesty. Contrary to his false claims, he never disclosed his extreme views or that he is an ‘anarcho-communist’ to the citizens of Englewood,” Frazier wrote in his email.

In the interview with CCM, Stone said he knocked on thousands of doors across Englewood and said he talked to thousands of people during his campaign. He added that “nearly every person asked me what my party affiliation” was at the time.

“I said I’m a Democrat, but ideologically, I identify as an anarcho-socialist. Most of them asked me what that is, and so I explained it, and I explained what my beliefs are and I explained how that would influence

how I govern,” Stone said.

Stone said his anarcho-socialist views mean “that I believe in the highest level of democracy possible, the most direct governance of the people possible.” He added: “Workers should be the ones that decide things because workers are the ones who make things.”

Stone said he sees the term “communist” as interchangeable with “anarcho-socialist.”

Stone said he experienced homelessness during a period in his life, and he points to his work to support people experiencing homelessness, his support for small local businesses, and his desire for more people to be able to both work and live in Englewood. He said he didn’t receive pushback from potential voters when he explained his anarchosocialist views, noting that he won election. But he’s not surprised that some might say they didn’t know what his beliefs were.

“I think that people look for sensational things to talk about, and this is the sensational thing right now,” Stone said.

‘Community defense’

Stone, 36, told CCM he doesn’t see why Englewood residents would be concerned about the photos of him with a firearm and a knife, which he said were posted a few months ago.

“I’m a millennial who has social media and … it’s my personal life,” Stone said.

Stone has identified himself on Twitter as an elected city councilmember. He said he didn’t specify which city.

“I find it ironic that conservatives are up in arms about me owning ‘assault rifles,’” Stone said, calling it a “meaningless term” and mentioning the Second Amendment.

Stone also identifies himself on Twitter as a “community defense partner,” and in the interview, he said: “Community defense is ensuring that the vulnerable in our community have protection from the fascists and neo-Nazis that show up in droves to harass them,” Stone said, referring to an event he said occurred a few months ago in Denver. Stone has tweeted in support of protests and posted that he attended a “PSL march,” appearing to refer to the Party for Socialism SEE STONE, P7

STONE Arapahoe County seeks public’s input on transportation FROM PAGE 6

STAFF REPORT

People who live or work in Arapahoe County are invited to take a survey that allows them to weigh in on key transportation corridors in the county.

The survey, launched by the county’s public works and development department, will be open until March 19 and can be found at www.surveymonkey. com/r/AC2040TMP The county is seeking input to help it determine the best ways to improve the transportation network as the county’s

roads continue to become more congested, according to a news release.

“The survey will allow respondents to tell our officials about the types of improvements — from managing congestion to increasing safety to exploring alternative modes like on-street bike lanes — that are most important to them,” the release states. “County officials realize that the input of the public that uses our roads every single day is vitally important to building a community-supported plan that considers the things that

are most important to our residents.”

According to the news release, previous surveys and analysis found that drivers on county roads will see a 32% increase in miles traveled by 2040, and travel on roads considered congested will increase from 16.5% today to 20.4% by 2040.

“As the county continues to grow, long-term planning is essential to maintaining the quality of life that makes Arapahoe County so exceptional,” County Commissioner Jeff Baker said in the release.

“I don’t illegally carry firearms — all the ones I own are legally owned and operated,” Stone said.

“But I will interpose myself in order to stand up and protect … the vulnerable communities that are trying to have their voices heard,” Stone continued.

Asked if that means attending protests while carrying weapons and if being armed is a part of his political cause, Stone said, “That’s an absurd question,” and repeated that he “owns and operates firearms legally.”

Several of Stone’s Twitter accounts have been taken down or suspended. The social media company’s rules prohibit “threaten(ing) violence” and “glorification of violence,” among other things, but Twitter appears not to publicly list the specific reason why individual accounts are suspended.

TENANTS FROM PAGE 3

long-term changes in law, GonzalesGutierrez said.

“We are actually amongst the lowest when it comes to tenant protections,” she said. “We see folks all too often who are being evicted because their dog is barking too loud. Or a barbecue grill is on their front porch. This is disproportionately impacting communities of color and low-income communities.”

Under one renter-related bill already introduced this legislative session, which began last week, landlords would have to give 14 days’ notice instead of the currently required 10 days before starting eviction proceedings.

House Bill 1121, from Rep. Dominique Jackson, also would prohibit landlords from increasing rent more than once per year.

The Colorado Apartment Association, which advocates for landlords’ rights, counters that the state’s eviction process already takes two or three months, depending on the county. Legislation to extend the timeline will only make it more expensive and unpredictable, said Drew Hamrick, the association’s senior vice president of government affairs.

“If we are going to encourage people to provide housing to others, we must give them a reasonable mechanism to get the property back,” he said, noting that the association is in talks with the bill sponsors to find compromise.

A story of struggle When Melissa Jones’ husband lost his job at a fish company last May, the Denver couple struggled to come up with their $1,075 rent check.

He was unemployed through September, when he found a part-time job at UPS for half the pay. At the same time, Colorado’s unemployment system was jammed. Like thousands of others, the couple was locked out of the system and didn’t receive a check for more than three months.

By fall, Jones was late on rent for their one-bedroom apartment on the border of Denver and Aurora.

According to the rental agreement, they had to pay 15% in late fees, plus a $50 “posting fee” to cover the cost of the notice stuck to their door. The penalty charges bumped their rent to $1,286.

It was nearly the end of the month by the time they came up with the money, and then next month’s rent was due two days later.

The couple was able to get back on track when the state came through with unemployment benefits, including back pay for the months that were skipped, but falling behind was stressful and scary for Jones, who has been homeless before.

“The thought of that instability was freaking me out,” she said. “It makes me anxious.”

The threat of eviction was all too real because Jones’ 21-year-old daughter was evicted last year after she fell behind on rent and her landlord charged $75 per day for every day the rent was late. She was 10 days behind, and owed $750 on top of her $900 rent, Jones said.

Moratorium may be misunderstood Colorado, and later the federal government, placed a moratorium on evictions during the coronavirus pandemic, but many are concerned about what happens when the moratorium is lifted. The policies don’t forgive past-due rent.

Gov. Jared Polis also signed an order banning fees on late payment of rent during the pandemic. His order placing a moratorium on evictions, which he let expire at the end of the December since a federal order is now in place, required landlords to inform tenants of the moratorium in writing.

“It puts some guardrails to buy more time,” said Guadarrama Trejo, from the nonprofit 9to5. “Most tenants want to find a solution with their landlord. No one wants to become unhoused, especially now.

People are not going to survive in the cold. And we still have a pandemic going on.”

Colorado’s frontline workers during the pandemic, the folks who work in grocery stores, as delivery drivers and in restaurants, make up a large portion of the renters in this state, Guadarrama Trejo said.

“The front-line workers, those are the same people who are renters who have been struggling,” she said.

Last spring, the legislature passed a housing assistance bill, allowing Colorado renters to ask for help from a state fund. Colorado also received federal coronavirus aid to help renters stay housed. But that, too, is temporary.

Leading up to the push for more

renter-friendly laws, three advocacy groups, including 9to5, helped develop a survey — conducted by Strategies 360 and commissioned by the State Innovation Exchange — that found overwhelming support for such policies.

The survey of 501 Colorado voters, reached by phone earlier this month, found that 80% support capping how much landlords can charge in late fees and that 70% support a cap of 2.5% of the total rent. Most of those polled said Coloradans should not allow evictions solely on the basis of unpaid late fees, as long as the tenant is keeping up with their base rent.

More than 80% of respondents said housing affordability in Colorado has gotten worse in recent years, with 70% agreeing it’s a serious problem or even a “crisis.”

This year’s legislative proposals build off of one of the laws passed in 2019, the Residential Tenants Health and Safety Act, that strengthened renters’ rights regarding living conditions. It says landlords are in breach of contract if they fail to provide healthy and safe housing, including any condition that “interferes with the tenant’s life, health or safety.”

Sen. Gonzales, who lives in an affordable housing unit, said it’s been obvious the last few months that Colorado needs a “clear and transparent process,” one understood by renters and landlords. She’s heard from people who were served eviction notices to appear in court, but did not go because they heard on the news that there was a moratorium on evictions and didn’t realize there is paperwork involved.

Evictions are “devastating economically, devastating for a family’s stability,” she said. “We want to make the process a bit more fair.

“Even in the midst of a pandemic, even with a federal moratorium, the fact that there are still people either at risk of eviction or who are navigating eviction court demonstrates the scale of the need that exists.”

College leaders urge state to restore funding Tuition at Colorado’s public universities is among nation’s highest

2001 recession, Colorado slashed higher education funding by 23.1%, or about $158.6 million. The state followed the same pattern during the Great Recession, cutting about $135 million from higher education from 2008-2012.

After both crises, schools across the state substantially raised tuition.

The cuts helped Colorado sink toward the bottom of state rankings in higher education investment.

“Higher ed, whenever there are competing demands, tends to bear the brunt of the cuts,” Garcia said.

Colleges face an additional financial threat. Enrollment across the state dipped during the pandemic.

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT.ORG

Fearful of extensive layoffs and potentially deep cuts to student services, leaders of Colorado’s public colleges and universities are pressing lawmakers to restore $493 million the state chopped off their budgets last year.

The academic leaders are campaigning as if the health, and perhaps existence, of their campuses are at stake. And with good reason: When Colorado slashed their budgets during two past recessions, the colleges never fully recovered.

Metropolitan State University of Denver President Janine Davidson said college presidents are presenting a united front on the restoration of funding because “at some point you have to say this isn’t working.”

And Adams State University President Cheryl Lovell said colleges did their part in balancing budgets last year and a return to the 2019-20 funding level would be a positive step for colleges and their students.

“We’re unified in that message,” Lovell said.

Gov. Jared Polis and House and Senate leaders have said they value

returning the 58% cut that the state inflicted last year to help balance a budget as the pandemic ate into revenues and raised expenses.

Some lawmakers have stalled, saying they want to wait for budget forecasts. Others hesitated because Congress is sending states more aid. The December stimulus package will send millions of dollars to many Colorado colleges and universities to help with the coronavirus impacts and to aid students.

The next stimulus bill could send millions more to Colorado schools.

But that federal largesse can’t be used for colleges’ operating expenses; it must respond only to the pandemic.

For years, lawmakers have dipped into higher education funding to spare other state priorities, said Joe Garcia, Colorado Community College System chancellor. That happened during both the 2001 and 2009 recessions. Lawmakers added back some funding, but higher education budgets never returned to their previous levels.

Students bring in money Every student brings in dollars, through tuition and also state funding based on enrollment. Significant drops can decimate an operating budget. If enrollment doesn’t bounce back (as some predict) and/ or if the state doesn’t substantially restore funding, campuses face major cuts.

That could mean fewer instructors, counselors, and career guidance services. It could also mean higher tuition, even though Colorado already charges some of the highest tuition in the nation for public schools.

ddie Pulsipher was afraid he woke up late for school on Feb. 25, but then he got the news every kid hopes to hear: snow day!

Following a blizzard that left much of the Denver area under more than a foot of snow, Littleton Public Schools was one of a few districts that called an honest-to-goodness snow day

— nearby districts like Denver, Englewood and Jefferson County continued with remote learning.

Freed from class, Eddie, 9, and his buddy Murray Trunnell, also 9, joined the throngs hitting the sledding hill at Goddard Middle School in west Littleton.

“It feels like I left gravity,” Eddie said as he hauled his sled back up the hill after careening over a dad-built snow jump.

“This is a lot more fun than class.”

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

VOICES

A lifelong attraction to the hard stuff

A

man walks into a bar with a large chunk of concrete and says to the bartender, “Give me a drink. And one for the road.”

I like concrete.

QUIET I’ve always liked DESPERATION concrete.

Concrete is everywhere.

Construction of Hoover Dam began in 1931. It was completed in 1936.

It looks the same today as it did 85 years ago. Who else Craig Marshall can say that?

There are 4,360,000 Smith cubic yards of concrete in the dam, powerplant and secondary buildings.

The Empire State Building used 62,000 cubic yards of concrete.

Arapahoe Community College on South Santa Fe in Littleton is a brutallooking structure, isn’t it? Actually, “Brutalism” is an architectural term.

Brutalism began in post-war Great Britain and was characterized by constructions that showcased bare

building materials.

In ACC’s case, that’s exposed concrete.

When my in-home studio addition was built in 2003, a truck pumped concrete over my house to the foundation forms at the back through a pipe that was controlled by a workman with a handheld device.

Concrete is normally 60% to 75% aggregate, 15% water and cement, and 5% to 8% air.

Aggregates include sand, gravel and crushed stone.

I know what you’re thinking: “The old frog has run out of things to write about.”

Far from it.

And I’m not the only one who feels this way about concrete.

I recommend “Concrete Planet: The Strange and Fascinating Story of the World’s Most Common ManMade Material.”

“We use it for our buildings, bridges, dams, and roads. We walk on it, drive on it, and many of us live and work within its walls.”

Okay, it’s not espionage or zombies, but for those of us who prefer to be informed, it’s good reading.

The Smithsonian Channel has a new program that thrills, stuns and mesmerizes me.

“How Did They Build That?”

“Across the globe, radical architects, ingenious engineers, and skilled builders are creating structures so outrageous they defy logic.”

Often, these architects, engineers, and builders rely on concrete.

Songs? Songs titled “Concrete” can be found. “Concrete and Clay” reached No. 1 the UK in 1965.

Remember Johnette Napolitano?

She was the lead singer of Concrete Blonde, a successful rock band from Hollywood.

Concrete definitely lasts but it doesn’t last forever. Many of the concrete bridges in America are showing disconcerting signs of deterioration after decades of traffic, especially semi-tractor-trailer trucks traffic.

Concrete trucks have always intrigued me. The revolving cylindrical barrel going in one direction, the truck in another.

I try not to follow them, and admit to a childish fear the chute will swing out and the driver will release

his load, as it were, on my imported station wagon.

Concrete is gray.

Or not. Concrete can be colored with stains, pigments, and dyes.

None for me, thanks.

Gray is good. In fact, I chose warm, concrete gray for the exterior paint of my home.

(It was either that or dachshund red; the HOA barked.)

There’s an urban myth about “concrete shoes” attributable to the connection between certain types and the concrete industry in New York City.

You can explore the ruins of Concrete City, a collection of 20 homes built entirely of concrete in 1911 in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia.

A better name now might be Graffiti City. The ruins haven’t been respected.

Hellen Keller: “There is plenty of courage among us for the abstract, but not the concrete.”

Here’s to hope, habits and happiness

T

here is a popular statement among business professionals, owners, and salespeople, and it is based on the book

by Rick Page titled “Hope is Not a Strategy.” In this WINNING context, hoping to grow our busiWORDS ness or hoping that we will make a sale without a solid strategic and tactical plan is true. Hope is not a strategy.

However, there are times where hope is the absoMichael Norton lute best strategy and approach. The business owner without hope to better serve their customers or community will settle for the low-hanging fruit and more than likely accept mediocrity from themselves, their employees, and the products or services they provide. The salesperson who only focuses on making a deal, with no focus on developing winning relationships is likely operating without the proper context of hope.

Hope in business and in selling

A publication of

eliminates a “One and Done” or “One Hit Wonder” mentality.

Conversely, the business owner, the salesperson, and each one of us who has hope, works with hope, and lives with hope, is more likely to move from the simple practice of “hoping” and into the planning, doing, and achievement required to reach our dreams and goals. Hope drives change. Hope adds the “will” to our “skill.” Hope powered by encouragement creates a completely different mindset.

Here is another phrase we are all probably familiar with, “Kick the Habit.” What if the habit is a good and productive habit, should we still try and “Kick the Habit”?; or should we “Keep the Habit” Ask 10 people to describe or define the word “habit,” and eight out of 10 will use negative wording or descriptors. Why is that? Why do we see the word “habit” with such a pessimistic outlook? It is because we typically associate habits with something that we need to break instead of build or keep.

If bad habits can quickly become terrible habits, then it must hold true that good habits can become

closer to achieving the happiness we desire.

Here are a few questions that I get when I speak on this topic. Is hope nothing more than a wish that has no plan? Are bad habits so engrained that they are unbreakable?

Is happiness possible without hope?

Depending on who you ask, you may receive a different response or guidance than mine. But I would say that hope is more than a wish, there are no habits that cannot be broken or built upon, and at times happiness is possible without hope, but the odds typically favor the hopeful.

So how about you? Is hope a part of your strategy and approach to life? Are you on your way to breaking bad habits and forming better ones? As always, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com, and when we see hope and habits through the lens of helping us achieve happiness, it really will be a better than good year.

Would we break bad habits before they become worse, build new and productive habits, and turn our existing good habits into amazing habits that lead to the achievement of our goals and dreams? Of course we would.

Do you see the connection yet? If not, I encourage you to read just a little bit more.

We all have hope for something.

We hope for good health, loving family and friends, a job or career that fulfills us, a better tomorrow, peace, healing, unity, and so much more including our hope for happiness. And here is where it all comes together for us. When we have hope, we are more likely to make the necessary and positive changes in our lives. Once we identify the changes that need to be made, we will become inspired to break our bad habits that hold us back and form the good habits that propel us forward. When hope is part of our foundational attitude towards life and we create habits that fuel our journey, we will move one step

COLLEGE FROM PAGE 9

pummeled by the pandemic and the recession.

Colorado Department of Higher Education Executive Director Angie Paccione urges colleges to find ways to cut budgets without increasing tuition. She thinks they’ll survive the downturn, and doesn’t oppose campuses asking lawmakers for more money — because schools lack adequate funding.

But she said schools have a responsibility to raise graduation rates that lag for students of color and those from low-income families compared with general rates. And some schools, like the University of Colorado-Boulder, for years have failed to boost enrollment of lowincome students. While regional colleges educate more low-income students, those campuses graduate those students at a lower rate than do the state’s flagship universities.

“You can’t just ask for money and not provide the outcomes,”

r

“I’m about to graduate high school, and right now I have to choose between my education and my safety,” she said. “I’m pleading for a better option for the handful of us for whom in-person is not an option.”

Members of the Littleton Education Association (LEA), the district’s teachers union, said they felt left out of the decision making process. The union’s leadership board read a memorandum with a list of concerns and requests for district officials.

Requests included providing increased mental health supports for students left feeling anxious and vulnerable by the transition, and providing well-fitting high-quality personal protective equipment to students and staff on request by the first day back.

The memorandum also called for district officials to take “a public stand” at the state level against standardized testing this spring, and if it is not canceled, to provide families specific instructions for

to a nearby kennel for boarding.

The truck was apparently unoccupied when it rolled backward down the hill into the home, said Trooper Josh Lewis, a spokesman for Colorado State Patrol, which is investigating the incident. Denver Fire is assisting in the investigation.

The driver of the truck was cited in the crash, though the charges against him were not immediately available.

Silva, 70, watched from down the block as Denver firefighters worked to hook the truck to a king-size tow truck.

“This is a life-changing situation,” Silva said. “I’ll be staying with

Paccione said.

Regional colleges are less able to cope with state budget cuts, because they have fewer outside resources and because their students have more difficulty absorbing higher tuition.

In Colorado, regional and community colleges receive a larger share of their operating budgets from the state and tuition than do flagship schools. The University of ColoradoBoulder and Colorado State University both get significant federal funding for research.

The University of Northern Colorado, a regional college, anticipates raising tuition by as much as 7%, depending on state funding. The University of Colorado system announced possible tuition increases of 3%.

Community colleges face tough call Garcia said community colleges might raise tuition, but that could impose hardships on students.

“The more we raise tuition, the less money students have available to cover their other mandatory living expenses like housing, transhow to opt out, and to not factor standardized test results into teacher evaluations for this school year.

The memorandum also cites concerns about the effect of repeated quarantines on student learning, saying upper grades have seen disproportionate numbers of quarantines even while in school fewer days this semester.

The district’s COVID communications page shows the district has announced limited quarantines nearly every day since the semester began.

Speaking to Colorado Community Media after the meeting, Ewert said district staff will do their best to make the transition as smooth as possible, but said there is no way to make everyone happy.

“At this point, those people who were so vocal about us returning to classrooms became pretty quiet, because we’re going back,” Ewert said.

“There’s no right or wrong here.

No correct opinion. We’re working in unprecedented times. There’s no perfect time to return.”

Ewert said district staff will work with students who are anxious about the return and provide high-quality KN-95 face masks when

friends for now, but I don’t know what’s going to happen to my home.

It’s completely ruined.”

Silva, a retired Arapahoe County records technician, said while he has homeowner’s insurance, he hoped Waste Management would make things right.

“They’d better come up with a good offer,” Silva said. “This is putting me out of my home during the pandemic. I’ve been staying home diligently. I’m just lucky I wasn’t in the front room.”

Waste Management responded to queries with a statement: “This is an unfortunate incident and we appreciate the first responders who assisted at the scene,” spokesperson Anne Spitzer wrote in an email. “We are working with the Denver Fire Department on their investigation.”

portation and food,” Garcia said, “things that they absolutely need to spend money on.”

A recent study by the Alliance for Research on Regional Colleges found the pandemic has cut into budgets at more than 100 rural public colleges it examined. Those colleges are preparing to reduce worker hours, furlough employees, freeze vacant positions, and lay off workers.

Cecilia Orphan, a University of Denver higher education professor and co-author of the study, said better-funded schools can help more students graduate.

For instance, even though they enroll a smaller proportion of students of color and from low-income families, flagship campuses with more resources graduate those students at a higher percentage than do more state-dependent colleges.

And regional schools have struggled to improve graduation rates.

Orphan said regional colleges have difficulty supporting and graduating students, especially those from low-income families, due to the diminished state budgets. She said too many people have become

“comfortable with broken promises for Coloradans.”

“Students want to advance themselves,” she said. “They want a better life for themselves and their families, and they’re accessing institutions that are doing everything they can but are having to work with resources that are just so extremely constrained.”

Davidson, of MSU Denver, said she believes restoring funding should be viewed as a moral imperative: Decreased funding will disproportionately lock out low-income students from opportunities and hurt the state’s economic future.

“College genuinely is the elevator to social mobility in this country.

It really is what has made America competitive and strong,” Davidson said. “If we don’t live up to that promise we will have repercussions that will go well beyond `I can’t send my kids to school.’”

LIFE

A fair chance of festivals this summer Though it’s too soon to say for sure, many beloved summer events are in the works

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or those who didn’t get to watch fireworks or eat funnel cakes in 2020, this spring and summer could bring good news: Festivals and fairs are in the works, though nothing is set in stone.

Scores of local events were canceled last year as COVID-19 reshaped life, though some gatherings went forward in a limited capacity. This year, as COVID numbers improve and the vaccine rollout advances, local officials are cautiously optimistic that many beloved community events can carry on.

“It will look different, but we can figure out innovative ways to do this,” said Mellissa Sager, the policy and intergovernmental affairs manager for the Tri-County Health Department, which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “These events are really important to communities, and we can make it work.”

Face masks will likely still be required at public events through the summer, Sager said, as will social distancing measures, symptom screenings and capacity limits.

Restrictions are largely set at the state level, Sager said. Governor Jared Polis is expected to roll out new, more flexible measures in coming weeks that could better facilitate summer festivals.

Here’s a look at summer plans around the metro area as they stand at the beginning of March: Adams County

No events have been canceled so far this year, Adams County spokesperson Christa Bunting said. That includes the Adams County Fair scheduled for Aug. 4-8, and a Styx concert at Riverdale Park on Sept.

Arapahoe County

The Arapahoe County Fair, scheduled for July 22-25, will be open “in some form,” county spokesperson Luc Hatlestad said. “The goal is to have as complete an experience as possible.” Other summer events at the fairgrounds on East Quincy Avenue include a series of 5K walks and runs, the Chalk Lines & Vines art and wine festival on May 15 and 16, and the Pictures on the Plains summer movie series on June 16 and 30. arapahoecountyfair.com

Arvada

Arvada’s Kite Festival, scheduled for April, has been canceled, but quite a few other events are going forward: Movies Around

Metro-area cities are planning a wide range of festivals this summer, with an eye on COVID safety.

Town, with live music before showtimes starting at dusk, will run from May to September.

Arvada On Tap, a craft beer and barbecue fest, is set for June 26.

The Elizabeth Stampede, featuring concerts, a parade and three days of rodeos, is scheduled for June 3-6 at Casey Jones Park. Higher expenses and spectator limits have spurred the Stampede to launch a sponsorship drive called the Stampede Booster Club. elizabethstampede. com

Englewood

Most events are still in their planning stages, said city spokesperson Melissa Hoelting. The city will host Climb4Change at Phillip Miller Park on May 22. The event features five racing events to choose from, and raises money for the town’s adaptive recreation program. crgov.com

No decision has yet been made on the 4th of July festivities at Belleview and Progress parks, city spokesperson Ann Lauricello said.

The city is “cautiously optimistic” about the late-summer Block Party on Broadway. “Obviously there are still many unknowns,” she said. englewoodco.gov

The annual Earth Day celebration won’t be a festival format this year, with the city instead planning a variety of chalk art installations in parks accompanied by workshops and tutorials, starting April 17.

Though the city will still fire off fireworks on July 3, there will be no gathering at Jeffco Stadium.

Shroud of Turin at center of children’s story ‘The Wordless Weaver’ is intended for those ages 4 to 8

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Author Claudia Cangilla McAdam of Highlands Ranch is a classic storyteller with a master’s degree in theology — a combination that leads her to writing stories for children that lead them into her own beautiful worlds. An earlier book was “Do You See What I See?” which was

written in collaboration with photographer John Fielder and encouraged kids to really look at what surrounded them.

(McAdam suspects it is no longer in print.)

Newest on the scene is McAdam “The Wordless Weaver,” timely for the season now and carrying lovely illustrations by Caroline Baker Mazure, an art teacher who lives in Michigan.

It focuses on the story of the Shroud of Turin, which is housed at the St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Turin, Italy, with a recorded history dating back to Lirey, France in 1353

and is believed by many, including McAdam, to be the linen shroud that wrapped Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion. It is described as 14 feet long, with the image of a man on it. An illustration at the end of the book shows a reader how it looks and should provoke more discussion.

A timeline McAdam provided says it was traded to the Duke of Savoy for two castles in 1452 and moved to Turin in 1578 for safekeeping after surviving a church fire in Chambery, France in 1532. It was cleaned and restored by the Catholic Church in 2002. When displayed, it is encased in bulletproof glass. A

previous pope has referred to it as an icon.

(McAdam mentioned a series of books written about the shroud, including one by Ian Wilson, published in 1979, updated in 2010.)

Her poetic new book for the 4-to-8 set begins as a young girl and her two little brothers join a crowd that lines the road into Jerusalem — as Yeshua, already legendary as master and teacher, travels the road into Jerusalem.

He looks directly at Shira, whose name McAdam says means “Song” in Hebrew. After that excitement, SEE STORY, P17

SUE stomps back to DMNS Most complete T. rex continues to share secrets

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

F

or many people, the Tyrannosaurus rex is the dinosaur, and it’s easy to understand why. There’s no animal today that comes close to the sheer intimidation and raw power that this Cretaceous-era dinosaur possessed. But there’s still a lot to learn about this predator. And that’s where SUE comes in.

The T. rex known as SUE is the most complete and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus to be discovered so far. It was discovered by Sue Hendrickson — hence its nickname — in South Dakota in 1990. More than 30 years later, it is still offering scientists all kinds of glimpses into the life and times of the “King of the Tyrant Lizards.”

And now Denver residents can enter SUE’s world and see the animal itself at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.

“We had SUE in 2012, (but) it was in a different setup back then. That’s because we’re changing our views of dinosaurs all the time,” said Dr. Joe Sertich, museum curator of dinosaurs. “In 10 years, SUE could be back with a completely different setup based on new discoveries.”

SUE: The T. rex Experience — on loan from the Field Museum in Chicago — features an exact cast of SUE’s skeleton, which, according to provided information, measures 40 feet from snout to tail and 13 feet tall at the hip. To help visitors get a sense of what the animal actually looked like, there is also a full-sized replica of SUE — with a sample of what it would’ve dined on. The exhibit also features animations, touchable bronze casts of SUE’s bones and a multimedia light show that provides insight into its bones.

One of the most fascinating new pieces of information is also the most visible — the gastralia, or belly ribs, that stretched across

The T. rex Experience will be on display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, through April 25.

Along with animations, touchable bronze casts of SUE’s bones and a multimedia light show, the exhibit features an exact cast of PHOTOS BY CHRIS SCHNEIDER/DENVER MUSEUM OF NATURE AND SCIENCE SUE’s 40-foot-long skeleton.

As is so often the case, it’s the museum’s additions from its own collections that give the exhibit added depth and nuance. And when it comes to Colorado and dinosaurs, there’s a lot to say.

One of the main attractions in the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s SUE: The T. rex Experience exhibit is a full-sized replica of SUE to help visitors get a sense of what the dinosaur actually looked like.

“The first Triceratops fossils were found in the area in 1887 in what is now the Highlands neighborhood,” Sertich said. “Focusing on SUE’s world highlights that this is very

much a Denver Museum story as well. I think there’s no better exhibit for this museum than SUE.” There are more than 20 specimens from the museum featured in the exhibit, including femur and a vertebra of the only T. rex skeleton ever found in the state, part of the Triceratops found at a construction site in Highlands Ranch in 2019, the jaw from the Torosaurus that was found in Thornton in 2017 and more.

Not only do these local connections highlight and explore what Colorado was like millions of years ago, they also emphasize how diverse species and ecosystem information paint a picture of a world in flux — both then and now.

“It has taken a long time from the early days of the dinosaur bone rush to see these animals as living, breathing creatures who were always changing,” Sertich said. “All this teaches us a lot about (how) life responded to change back then, and that has relevance to today.”

The next morning, Shira’s mother shrieked and told her Yeshua had been arrested and was to be crucified and Shira ran out to the hilltop ... where she prayed silently ... Yeshua’s young disciple, John, comforted her.

She heard a man offer his tomb and discussion of a need for a shroud — she ran and touched his arm, then ran home to get her length of cloth.

A strip was cut off one side to bind the cloth around the body as it was laid to rest in a tomb.

The next morning, John returned to find only the shroud in the tomb.

The wait for In-N-Out is over in south metro area Restaurant served up ‘burgers for breakfast’ on opening day

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

People lined up to eat “burgers for breakfast” as the famed fast food chain In-N-Out Burger opened its newest Colorado location in Lone Tree, near Park Meadows mall.

The restaurant, located at 9171 Westview Road, began serving food around 8:30 a.m. during In-N-Out’s Feb. 22 grand opening.

For Holly Houston, stopping by was a spur of the moment decision when she noticed cars in the drive thru for the first time. The Douglas County woman had been watching the restaurant’s construction, she said, looking forward to trying it at a location closer to home.

“I’ve been waiting for this one to open,” she said.

Company spokesman Denny Warnick said the building has been ready for weeks and could have opened as early as December.

In-N-Out waited until COVID-19 cases improved at the company’s other Colorado locations, which became outbreak sites after opening, and for cases to trend down in the surrounding community, Warnick said.

“We just thought it would be wiser to wait until both those results had improved to open another location,” he said.

Lone Tree employees were tested for COVID-19 before opening day and would be tested again after, he said. They were also assigned teams, which worked in specific sections of the kitchen to lessen how often people crossed paths, he said.

The Lone Tree location employs 80 people so far and will continue hiring, he said.

COVID-19 precautions weren’t the only kind in place for the burger joint’s south metro debut.

After large crowds turned out at previous Colorado grand openings, Warnick said In-N-Out worked with the City of Lone Tree, the Lone Tree Police Department and a third-party, traffic-control company, Colorado Barricade, to devise a traffic plan at the company’s expense.

A spokeswoman for the City of Lone Tree provided a statement say-

ing the city is excited In-N-Out came to town and is prepared for potential traffic around the restaurant in coming days. The city has a “queuing map” showing people how to get in line for the drive thru and how to access neighboring businesses, both available online.
