FIGHTING FIRE FROM ABOVE

As counties lift restrictions, virus not done taking toll Local ‘dial’ limits fade, but hundreds more Colorado COVID deaths likely

out that Lakewood’s new “draconian” law is really punishing people if they shoot mortars off.

But he acknowledged passing an amendment to an ordinance this close to fireworks season would be a tall order.

Franks said all council members have heard the complaints about illegal fireworks.

“They start weeks before the holiday. They last weeks after the holiday,” she said.

She also pointed to the negative effect loud fireworks can have on veterans, people with anxiety issues, pets and children.

Franks said input from Lakewood PD Chief, Daniel McCasky, and Municipal Judge, Anne Stavig, would be vital in trying to find ways to keep people from celebrating the season with a big bang.

Lakewood Mayor, Adam Paul,

The era of metro Denver residents talking about “the dial” might be over for good now that several metro counties have lifted local restrictions and moved to what they call “level clear,” with statewide coronavirus data looking tentatively optimistic.

“We’re actually seeing some very promising trends over the past couple weeks based on cases and hospitalizations both starting to decrease,” said Andrea Buchwald, a research associate with the Colorado School of Public Health.

Colorado’s color-coded COVID-19 dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system affected capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Colorado originally implemented the dial last Sept. 15.

Last month, when state officials stepped back and let local health agencies take the wheel on most coronavirus restrictions, health agencies in the Denver metro area extended the “dial” system locally as a rise in virus cases and the continued spread of COVID-19 variants kept health officials worried.

Bigger penalties for big fireworks in Lakewood explored City Council weighs options in bid to crack down on dangerous mortars

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fireworks season is almost here.

You may have been hearing the thundering, unmistakable booms of the big ones already. And if you haven’t … you will.

Setting them off is against the law. But with police stretched, and the near impossibility of catching somebody in the act of lighting them up, it is a law a lot of people are willing to break.

Relatively harsh penalties currently in place — up to 365 days in jail and a $2500 fine, don’t always deter the amateur pyro-technicians in our ranks.

But council members Barb Franks and David Skilling have a plan. They want to explore the idea of raising fines and stiffening penalties for those caught firing off professional-type fireworks.

“Enforcement is tricky because you’ve (already) fired off the firework and I don’t know if there’s any way to trace that,” Skilling said. “What I’d be looking for is the maximum that we can do ... whatever we can come up with to let people know that if you’re caught doing it in Lakewood, there’s going to be a severe consequence.”

He said there may be nothing the city can do, and that the Lakewood Advisory Commission (LAC) is looking into it in a broader context, but as the Fourth of July grows near, he and councilor Franks wanted to see if there was anything that could be done legislatively.

Skilling said he’d like word to get

MY NAME IS

REBEKAH CRANE

Genesee author tackles race, young love in seventh YA novel A career change Before I had kids, I was a high school English teacher and so I was well acquainted with young adult books mainly because of teaching them but also studying them in college, and just being a fan in general.

But then I had kids and we had also moved a lot and so I knew that I wasn’t going back to teaching. But I missed the interaction that I had with my students.

I had never written anything before in my life and had actually avoided all the creative writing classes in college out of fear. But one day I kind of on a whim looked at my husband and said `I think I want to try writing books and I think I can write stories that will resonate with teenagers and people in general because that time in our lives resonates with all of us.’ I think when we think of young adult books we really narrow it down and say these are books for teenagers but they’re really not, they’re just books about teenagers that a wide range of people read, me included.

Rough start I sat down and wrote my first book and it was terrible. But it was a great learning experience because I made so many mistakes with it and just really worked on it for almost two years. I kind of looked at it as my test subject on novel writing in terms of how to write, what not to do and how to maneuver the business.

But it totally bombed and never got picked up, it was rejected so many times and eventually I had to put it away and start a brand new project. And that second project ended up being my first book I pub-

ONLY THE PRETTY LIES Released earlier this month, “Only the Pretty Lies” is the story of Amoris Westmore, a girl whose relationship with her progressive hometown is turned upside down when her first crush, Jamison Rush, moves in next door.

One of the few Black students in Alder Creek, Jamison sees Amoris’s idyllic town through different eyes. He encourages Amoris to look a little closer, too. When Jamison discovers a racist mural at Alder Creek High, Amoris’s worldview is forever changed.

lished, “Playing Nice” in 2014.

Writing about race I found that teen readers appreciate as much honest as you can give them in a story and that is what resonates with them. They’re looking for something that represents their experience, especially in contemporary fiction which is what I write. And so that naturally leads into heavier topics because teens deal with heavy topics every day and they are immersed and bombarded with so many heavy issues at a really young age from social media and from carrying tablets and phones and having such easy access to information.

So I think it’s the responsibility of writers who write who represent that audience to represent those issues and all of my books deal with some sort of heavier topic, whether it be mental illness or religious beliefs or race or whatever it is that I am inspired to write about at the time.

I also think many people would agree that race has become very potent in our society as of the past four years for a lot of white people.

It’s been very potent for people of color for their entire existence, but I think many white people are waking up and coming to a new understanding and a new place of ownership in their relationship and walking through this human expe-

Her favorite YA novel For me, my all-time favorite that I always point people to because I have seen it be magic in a classroom is “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” I really think that it was one of those stories that came out in the late 1990s that really launched

young adult fiction to what it is today. To me that is really my ultimate novel where I am not comparing myself to it because that’s not fair but always reminding myself of what I felt when I read that novel and what I felt it represented to the teenage existence.

What Should You Fix or Improve Before Putting Your Home on the Market? Less Than You Think.

One of the most common questions we are asked during our first meetings with prospective sellers is, “What should I fix or improve before I put my home on the market?” I’ve written about this topic before, but the subject is worth revisiting, given the current market.

My advice has always been that you should only fix the “eyesores” and not make many of the repairs or improvements that you might make in a more balanced market.

So, what’s an eyesore? Simply put, an eyesore is something that draws negative attention from a buyer. But some eyesores are more important than others — specifically ones which help form a buyer’s first impression of your home.

In other words, your front yard, the front façade, your porch, front door and the first few rooms a buyer sees are more important than the condition of inner rooms or the basement. By the time buyers are deep inside your house, they either love it or they don’t, and if they love it, they’ll be more forgiving about a stain on the carpet or a loose railing that they see later in their visit. So definitely work

on cleaning up your front yard, staining or repairing your front porch and front door (if it needs it), and address any eyesores inside the front door. If the paint on your siding or trim visible from the street is aged, dirty, or peeling, you’ll want to take care of that, too.

Further inside the house, fixing eyesores is still important, just not as important. New wallto-wall carpeting is more affordable than refinishing hardwood flooring, but a wood floor that is in dire need of refinishing is definitely an eyesore. If a hardwood floor could use refinishing, but isn’t in dire need of it, I don’t recommend it. Re-staining a wood deck is an affordable task that eliminates the eyesore of a deck which sorely needs it.

Should you replace a Formica kitchen counter with slab granite, quartz or Corian? Not if the Formica is in good shape and is not hot pink. If it has peeling edges or burn scars, yes, replace it.

One of the smartest things you should do before putting your home on the market is to wash the windows inside and out. Since that requires removing win-

How High Are Bidding Wars Pushing Up Home Prices?

This is a reprise of my article on April 22nd, when I took a snapshot of closed listings on Friday, April 16th. This week I did the same analysis, and the day I chose was last Thursday, May 13th, to see how the bidding wars have evolved in just the last four weeks. The source both times was REcolorado.com, Denver’s MLS. As I did in April, I limited my analysis to sales within a 15-mile radius of downtown Denver. That takes in an area from Broomfield to Highlands Ranch and from Golden to Aurora. It does not include the City of Boulder.

I limited my search to homes, condos and townhouses that were on the MLS at least one day and not more than 6 days before going under contract. Those are the homes with bidding wars. I divided the results into homes which sold up to $500,000 and those that sold for more.

On May 13th there were 44 closings up to $500,000. The median home sold for 8.4% over its asking price. On April 16th, there were 48 closings, but the median home sold for “only” 4.7% over its asking price. The highest ratio this time was 15.7% for a home in southwest Denver that sold in 4 days.

There were 56 homes that closed on

May 13th for more than $500,000. The median home in that group sold for 8.1% over its listing price. On April 16th there were 68 such closings, and the median home sold for 8.3% over asking price. The highest overbid in this group on May 13th was 29.4% over listing for an $850,000 home in Littleton’s Sundown Ridge, which sold in 2 days for $1.1 million. On April 16th, the highest overbid was “only” 18.8% over asking price for a home in Westminster. On May 13, there were four homes with an overbid higher than that.

To get a statistically significant number of closings over $1 million, I analyzed the closings over a longer period — May 1-15.

The median closing was 6% over listing price. The highest was for a 1991 home in Denver’s “Hyde Park at Polo Club” subdivision, which was listed at $1,575,000 and sold in 6 days for $2,225,000, 41.3% over listing price. In the first half of April, there were only 68 closings over $1 million, and the highest overbid was 24.9% over listing price. This time there were six closings with an overbid higher than that.

In my April analysis I predicted that the overbids would get even more intense, and that has proven to be the case. I’ll keep up this analysis in coming months. Stay tuned.

dow screens, I recommend washing and labeling your window screens and putting them in your garage or store room.

The window screens can be reinstalled after you’re under contract and prior to inspection, because missing screens will definitely be an inspection issue.

When you invite one of us to see your home, you’ll want to know what fixes or improvements we suggest, and we will usually come down on the side of not making any repairs or improvements which aren’t necessary to get your home under contract.

The reason you don’t want to make unnecessary repairs or improvements — for example, replacing a 20-year-old furnace that works fine, or mitigating radon if a home test reveals it is needed — is that you need to retain those as bargaining chips.

Let’s say, for example, that your buyer’s inspection objection lists a dozen items including replacing the furnace and mitigating radon. You could agree to doing those two repairs but not the other ten items, and that would probably satisfy the buyer. If you’ve already replaced your furnace and mitigated radon, you don’t have those as bargaining chips and would have to address those other items.

Interior painting is another common issue. Let’s say your son painted his bed-

room ceiling black, or your daughter has a cute mural with giraffes and trees covering one or two walls in her bedroom.

Should your repaint those rooms? Maybe the black ceiling, but leave the mural — assuming it’s well done, of course!

These are merely general guidelines, and every house is different, and my broker associates (below) and I are happy, of course, to meet with you in your home to discuss what to fix or not fix.

The best thing you can do before putting your home on the market is neither a fix nor an improvement. It’s decluttering. We all have too much stuff, don’t we? Some of it should be taken to Goodwill or the Salvation Army (using our free truck, of course!). Other items should be put in storage, and we can usually get our clients the first month free at a local mini-storage facility.

Once we’ve agreed on what to do, you may be concerned about how to pay for it. Our clients have access to our handyman at the client-only rate of $25/hour.

For bigger repairs, we can help you with obtaining financing that could be paid off from your proceeds at closing. Ask us for details.

Tell your friends that they don’t have to get this newspaper to read my column. I send it free by email. Just ask!

Sustainability awards celebrate Lakewood eco-leaders

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young Defenders of the Planet, a man who spent his life pushing for renewable energy, and eco-conscious city employees were among seven recipients recognized at Lakewood’s 14th annual Sustainability Awards, May 10.

City manager, Kathy Hodgson, said the winners show us how creativity, passion and enthusiasm can create sustainable businesses, support community health, keep waste out of the landfill, spread environmental awareness and bring neighbors together.

Hodgson said the city’s sustainability awards program was established in 2008 to recognize members of the Lakewood community who are leading the way to a more sustainable future.

The city receives nominations for people working to solve challenges in areas of climate action, energy and water conservation, economic resilience, zero waste, community cohesion, public health, natural systems and sustainable transportation.

Nominations are judged on the overall positive impact of the project, how the project embraces innovation, overcomes challenges, can be replicated by others and demonstrates initiative.

The “Defender of the Planet” Youth Sustainability Award was given to the Green Mountain Area

held an online pollinator art contest.

They also found other ways to educate the community including creating a butterfly themed lamppost displayed at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park, which won that event’s People’s Choice design award.

Sarah Gorner, who runs the Green Mountain Homeschoolers Group, said last year was the seventh year they’ve done a project through the Jane Goodall Institute.

“The idea is that the students can take a look at their community and see where the need is,” she said. “I think it’s great that the city has an award for youth.”

There were two Community Sustainability Award winners.

Emily Post was recognized for her

zero-waste lifestyle and community engagement.

The average American creates 4.4 lbs. of trash per day. Post, a champion of living a low-waste lifestyle for years, says her family of five produces just 4-6 lbs. of trash per month. According to Hodgson, Post credits some of her success in decreasing waste to strategic decisions to reduce packaging while shopping and taking advantage of her yard for composting and gardening.

Post’s website describes her Green Mountain home, Post-Pollinator Farm, as a micro-farm with a small herd of goats, some chickens, herbs, seasonal veggies and lots of heart.

The second Community Sustainability Award was given to Alison Tamborlane and Michel Scheffers for their Home Sweet Home project.

Pollinator-friendly landscaping and eco-conscious DIY projects are just some of the ways they work to make their home more sustainable.

The couple was able to successfully work with their HOA to gain approvalto install solar panels in frontfacing portions of their roof, which opened the door for neighbors to follow suit.

Champion cyclist, Gwen Inglis killed in Lakewood crash Driver who hit her being held on suspicion of DUI

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Renowned cyclist, Gwen Inglis, 46, died from injuries sustained when a vehicle crossed into the bike lane

AWARDS FROM PAGE 4

The award was named to honor the commitment to environmental causes of long-time city employee Bruce Peoples.

A Business Innovation Sustainability Award was given to Ballmer Peak Distillery for resource conservation and a Hand Sanitizer Heroes program.

In 2020, Ballmer Peak contributed 12,600 lbs. of spent grain and 5700 gallons of spent molasses fermentations to support regenerative agriculture. Their water recirculation system conserved more than 350,000 gallons of water. They also noticed the lack of hand sanitizer available in Colorado when the pandemic hit.

They quickly adapted their business to produce hand sanitizer and were among the first companies in the state to supply it to the community

she was riding in.

According to Lakewood Police, Inglis was riding in the eastbound lane of West Alameda Parkway between South McIntyre Street and South Indiana Street around 10 a.m., Sunday, May 16, when she was struck by a vehicle driven by 29-year-old Ryan Scott Montoya.

Police say Inglis was transported to a local hospital where she ulti-

mately died from her injuries.

Montoya remained at the scene of the crash. He is currently being held at the Jefferson County Jail on charges including suspicion of Vehicular Homicide involving DUI or DUID. Inglis, current 45-49 road race national champion, leaves behind husband and fellow cyclist Michael Inglis.

USA Cycling released social media statement on Inglis’ death.

“We are saddened to hear about the tragic loss of Gwen Inglis. The Masters Road Race National Champion was hit by a driver on her training ride Sunday morning and later passed away at the hospital” it read. ‘We are sending our thoughts to Gwen’s family during this difficult time.”

at no cost.

Compost Colorado also won a Business Sustainability Award for their Simple Swaps Shop.

Compost Colorado provides a weekly compost collection service.

In 2020, they expanded their service to include an online delivery service stocked with local, sustainable and zero-waste products.

Using clean compost buckets as the delivery vessel reduces the amount of packaging and number of deliveries their customers need from other services, reducing air pollution, traffic and waste.

Finally, Lakewood’s inaugural Legacy Sustainability Award was given posthumously to Ken May. Hodgson said May, who died last fall, “Dedicated his career to pioneering and innovating solar energy generation in Lakewood and around the world.”

She said May started his solar energy career at the Solar Energy Research Institute, now known as the National Renewable Energy

Laboratory (NREL). In 1986, he co-founded Industrial Solar Technology Corporation. He also developed a residential solar energy business

that became a leader in servicing solar for residential homes. May’s award was accepted by his wife, Gretchen, and daughter, Rosalind.

DRCOG prescribes Nymbl at-home balance training 5,000 adults 60+ offered free access to fall prevention program

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On May 3, the Denver Regional Council of Governments announced a partnership with Nymbl Science, the makers of a fall prevention app for older adults, that will offer free enrollment in the app’s balance training

program for 5,000 adults aged 60 and up in 10 nearby counties.

Older adults in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson counties, the City and County of Denver, the City and County of Broomfield and southwest Weld County can enroll in the program free of charge through June 30 by downloading the Nymbl app or visiting co.fallsfree.com.

Nymbl already has a partnership with the Arvada Fire Protection District, which reported a 35% decrease in fall-related EMS calls in Nymbl participants in

2020, a year that saw the Coronavirus pandemic increase isolation and inactivity, resulting in a 3050% increase in fall rates among older adults in Colorado, according to Nymbl Public Relations Consultant Sari Winston.

Jayla Sanchez-Warren, director for DRCOG’s Area Agency on Aging, said that Nymbl helps reduce the risk of falling for older adults who are hoping to increase their mobility as the COVID-19 pandemic winds down.

“The risk of falling for older adults in Colorado is a serious public health threat post-pan-

demic as Americans venture out again, in some cases for the first time after months of inactivity,” said Warren. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Nymbl to provide free at-home balance training aimed at helping our older adult community feel strong, confident and empowered to leave home without the fear of falling.”

“The Nymbl app is easy to use and fun,” Warren continued, “and has demonstrated really great results, in many cases improving balance by roughly 30%. This can SEE NYMBL, P20

Jeffco’s summer school plan What parents should know if their student needs extra help

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After surviving what’s arguably been the strangest school year in modern history, this year’s summer learning options will be a bit different as well.

Asked about the District’s plans for summer, Cameron Bell, Jeffco’s public information officer, said currently, plans are on a school-byschool basis.

The district’s website says, “Summer school options are varied and structured to meet different needs at different locations; some are academic while others are enrichmentbased.”

Parents are encouraged to reach out to a principal, secretary, counselor or teacher to find out if there is summer programming at their child’s school or nearby.

Some elementary schools will offer summer school for students who attend that school.

For students in high school who need credit recovery, there will be regional options that will operate on an in-person hybrid model. There will also be a virtual option open to high school students from all regions.

North: A north area high school credit recovery program will be offered at Arvada West High School June 7-July 16. Registration is open through May 28, with an orientation scheduled for June 7.

South: Two south area summer sessions are offered at Columbine High School. Session one will run from June 1-24, with orientation scheduled for June 1. Session two will run from July 12-30, with

orientation scheduled for July 12.

Registration for both south sessions is open through May 28.

Central: Central area students can attend a credit recovery session at Wheat Ridge High School. The program will run from June 1-24, with orientation June 1. Online registration for the Central session will be open through May 31.

Mountain: Mountain area students will be offered a credit recovery session at Conifer High School, running from June 1-24, with orientation scheduled for June 1. Online registration for the Mountain session is open through May 28.

floated the idea that the city might need to pass an emergency ordinance which would require a supermajority of votes, to be able to make an amendment this close to game time.

Skilling reiterated the goal isn’t to ruin everyone’s fun by cracking down on sparklers etc. It’s an attempt to crack down on “bombs that are going off” in neighborhoods, he said.

Council member Mike Bieda, Ward 3, said there’s a need for heftier fines for first-time offenders and said he would support stiffer

district taking this approach. Douglas County School District’s website states they are offering summer school “for students who have been identified by their school as those who would benefit from additional support heading into the next school year.”

Still, with no unified, district-wide plan, finding information about summer-school options available for specific grade levels and locations is not easy. Some of Jeffco’s individual school websites prominently display summer school information on their home page, while others have no information or have it in difficult-tofind spots.

penalties for those caught shooting off illegal fireworks.

Ramey Johnson, Ward 1, said she hoped the city’s Big Boom Bash fireworks display, which was cancelled last year, but is back this year on July 3, might give folks less reason for a DIY celebration.

In the end, council members reached a general consensus to advance the proposal. But Paul said, to be clear, the vote to advance was simply moving the process forward to allow McCasky and City Attorney, Alison McKenney Brown, to weighin on the effectiveness of raising fines as it pertains to deterrence. If they agree it’s a good idea, the amendment will move forward to a first and second reading in council before receiving a final vote.

rom Larimer Square to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Denver is truly a great place to call home and enjoy retirement.

With the Rockies at your doorstep, there are virtually unlimited opportunities for adventure. Denver is also No. 3 on the list of America’s Best Cities* for a Healthy (and More Affordable Retirement).

What you may not know is a reverse mortgage loan from AAG may help you get even more out of your retirement.

A reverse mortgage is simply a way for you to convert some of your built-up home equity into cash for your retirement — cash to pay off large bills or high-interest credit card debt, make home improvements, cover medical expenses, build a bigger rainy-day fund, or simply get out and enjoy more of the Mile High City.

If you choose, you can wait to repay your loan when you permanently leave your home. Although a reverse mortgage requires no monthly mortgage payments, you are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of your home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, HOA fees.

“Working with Jarred Talmadge and AAG was a very nice experience,” said AAG customer Angela Pendergraft. “No pressure or feelings of anxiety. He answered all our questions and concerns leaving us feeling comfortable with our decision to do a reverse mortgage.”

If you want to learn how a reverse mortgage can specifically improve your retirement, AAG Market Sales Manager Jarred Talmadge, NMLS# 1842043, and his team are ready to assist you.

Coffee shop weathers pandemic with records and waffles Stylus & Crate in Wheat Ridge celebrates first year of business

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a long career spent working in various facets of the natural foods business, Tadd Overstreet was looking to make a lifestyle change.

“I wanted to go build a place that was a true, honest connection point for the community,” he said. “And I think there’s nothing more that you connect over than great drink and great food and then music, which I think is the natural platform to get to know someone.”

So about two years ago, Overstreet began making plans to open a new business that would provide that connection point while bringing together those elements (and putting a unique twist on them).

The result was Stylus & Crate, which can perhaps best be described as Wheat Ridge’s newest coffee shop,

A Liege waffle from Stylus & Crate.

but one where customers can also act as the space’s DJ by selecting a record from the shop’s extensive library to play on its turntable.

Then there are the Belgian-style Liege waffles, which provide a unique focus for the shop’s culinary offerings and can be enjoyed plain or topped with a variety of fruits and sauces.

“The goal was to build a coffee

“How To Put An End To Knee Pain Even It’s Been Years of Misery”

By Leading CO Knee Pain Doctor of Physical Therapy, Brooke Olsen Denver - If I were to get bad knee pain again, here’s what I would do differently: First, I wouldn’t wait and hope it just goes away.

That only made it worse. I wouldn’t try to stretch, or get adjustments on it. I definitely wouldn’t get an injection (very dangerous long term). So what would I do?

some answers. I learned that in order to fix knee pain permanently and naturally, it’s really not that hard.

Hi, my name is Dr. Brooke Olsen, PT, DPT. I’m a national knee pain expert.

I’ve made a career for myself helping hundreds of active adults end their knee pain naturally, and I help them do it all over the country. But that wasn’t always the case. Early on in my career, I had bad knee pain. I previously tore my meniscus, MCL, and part of my ACL when I was young. Later, I had so much swelling and pain when just walking up and down stairs in the hospitals, nonetheless trying to go for a hike or walk around the park.

If you are wondering how you find what your root cause is, and how you can fix it once you find it, my new Best Selling book, Aging Happily Without Pain, will teach you all of that. I’ve gone ahead and paid for the books myself, all I ask is that you pay for the small shipping & handling fee to send it to you ($7.95).

You can either call my assistant Cody at (720)-772-1133 and he’ll help get a copy to your doorstep or just go online to this link:

The secret is fixing the root cause, which is the thing that’s causing your knee to hurt in the first place. Most treatment options just focus on relieving the pain where it hurts, without ever questioning why it hurts and what oth-er areas could be affecting it.

So if I ever got bad knee pain again, I would immediately start fixing the root cause of my pain, rather than waste time on temporary band-aid fixes.

I tried what felt live everything to help over the years, and it just wouldn’t go away. You can imagine the frustration and hopeless-ness that set in. I asked my colleagues for help, but most of what they tried did nothing for me.

Desperate for a return to my normal life, I set out on a journey. I traveled the country, in search of learning from the best and brightest. I took many courses, and eventually found a mentor who had

shop that had waffles and vinyl,” he said. “But we’ve evolved into a waffle and record shop that happens to sell coffee.”

Confronting pandemic challenges But while Overstreet ready to give Wheat Ridge something new and thought the city would be ready to embrace it as well, one thing he

didn’t count on was a global pandemic, which was upturning life for everyone just as work was finishing up on the Stylus & Crate space at 6985 W. 38th Avenue last spring.

While construction was actually completed in April, he and his family “sat and twiddled there thumbs SEE COFFEE SHOP, P13

until June” to allow the initial COVID shutdowns to ease up before opening the shop that month.

Although there were many “terrible times” during that opening period, Overstreet said one of the hardest came when he and his staff had to put all the shop’s furniture in place to complete the pre-opening inspection only to then pull half of it on the night before it opened to comply with capacity and distancing restrictions.

“When you spend two years dreaming and building and planning and then you dismantle it before you even open, that was a really hard experience,” he said. “It wiped out what was supposed to be a really exciting time of opening up, promoting and having that grand ribbon cutting. Instead, we basically just had to unlock the door and say come on in.”

Despite the challenging circumstances, word spread organically about the shop and business gained steam. But the Overstreets weren’t out of the woods just yet: a second forced shutdown of coffee shops and other businesses that began in November left them again having to improvise.

Unable to have customers sit inside the space, they ended up removing all the tables and chairs and inviting local artisans to bring their products to sell in the space.

“It was like ‘there’s no craft fairs this year’ so it was like bring your

stuff in, it doesn’t cost you anything and we’ll sell it for you and have our own craft fair,” he said. “We did that through Christmas.”

The shop ended up developing partnerships with multiple artists whose work it continues to sell and Overstreet said that experience is illustrative of both the drive to serve the community and willingness to reinvent itself that have carried the shop through its first year.

But now, with its first birthday approaching, Overstreet said Stylus & Crate was about to make perhaps its biggest reinvention yet as the business readied to open for the first time at full capacity following Jefferson County’s move to Level Clear.

“We will reinvent ourselves again Saturday night,” he said on May 14, ahead of the move to Level Clear on May 16. “We close at four and we will bring all the tables that we originally had and bring back the barstools we originally had and we will redo the record store to add some more stuff to it.”

Now, even as Stylus & Crate settles into what he hopes will be a less volatile post-pandemic normal, the shop’s embrace of its evolution is now as baked into its business plan as the waffles themselves.

“I challenge every person we hire that this is their coffee shop,” he said. “And the expectation is that when they leave here their fingerprints are in here.”

The truth is I don’t QUIET want to.

Bob Dylan was DESPERATION born on May 24, 1941. That means he’ll be 80 years old in a few days.

What I have is an appreciation for an earthly character who sits in front of a typewriter and makes strange and Craig Marshall wonderful word conSmith nections with life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Not a union fan Regarding the May 13 teachers union story...

The worst thing about the teachers union — national and Jeffco — is they don’t care about children. It’s all about themselves, their “rights,” their pay, their leftist politics.

Now compound all that, with teachers like the one quoted in your story...”demanding” fair and professional wages. Demanding! Don’t be fooled taxpayers.

Jeffco teachers already have fair and professional wages.

And for any of them to think they can demand higher wages, just shows how out of touch they are.

Don’t forget, those teachers missed the tail end of the 2019-20 school year ... at full pay ... sitting at home. And many worked from home for a portion of this school year ... at full pay!

And now, with their “rallying cry” of “racial equity,” you can bet they want to usher in critical race theory ... teaching elementary kids they are racists.

I hope the Jeffco School Board (although elected by teachers union’ money) has enough sense to see the tide is turning. Parents and taxpayers are ready for teachers to do a full year’s work, for the generous wages they already have!

and “Things Have Changed” in 2000 not a lot did change.

And they still haven’t.

“Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call / Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall / For he that gets hurt / Will be he who has stalled / There’s a battle outside and it’s ragin’ / It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls.”

That could have been written earlier this year.

Or you can take him prettied up by others. The first Bob Dylan song I heard performed by someone else was “It Ain’t Me Babe,” by a group called the Turtles.

Others soon followed: Peter Paul and Mary, the Byrds, the Band, Joan Baez, the Beatles, Nina Simone, Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix.

And Duke Ellington.

Dylan’s first radio hit, “Like a Rolling Stone,” peaked at number 2 in 1965. Although it didn’t do much for me, there was a lot of it: At six minutes it was twice as long as everything else on Top Forty radio.

“An’ he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette.”

Bob Dylan? Eighty? It can’t be, but it is.

“Your debutante just knows what you need, but I know what you want.”

Half a dozen songs of his songs make me put down whatever I am doing and listen.

“Memphis Blues Again” is one.

The lyrics make no sense. But I quote them to someone if it’s only to myself all the time.

The end of the song is an unexpected perfection about any experience we go through that we don’t want to repeat.

W

ell, I guess it’s over now.

Except for the political posturing.

Mask mandates are ending. Public gatherHITTING ings are legal again.

HOME Students are even being allowed to (gasp) play with their friends at recess.

Our long national nightmare is over. All that’s left now is to tally up all the things we’ve lost.

Oh, wait. What?

Michael Alcorn You still want to wear a mask just so nobody mistakes you for a Republican?

Or you refuse to wear a mask indoors when asked to so nobody mistakes you for a Democrat?

See what I mean about the political posturing?

And, crazily, it’s still happening at the highest levels of government. Dr. Anthony Fauci took a high profile photo this week with a couple of kids celebrating their college graduation—outdoors — and he put his mask on for it, in spite of new guidance from the CDC and the fact that he was immunized four months ago.

Which, I guess, isn’t quite as ridiculous as President Biden continuing to wear his mask ... for Zoom meetings ... up until last week.

Optics are one thing, and I totally understand; but if the message you’re desperate to communicate is that vaccines are good, then act like the stupid vaccine has done some good.

Which, but the way, is still not quite as nutty as those who refuse to get the vaccine. I understand that, too — everybody thought Propecia was just a good way to grow hair. Until much later, when side effects kicked in. But the known short-term side effect of not getting the vaccine is death, so…

If your message is “America is great,” then celebrate that by accepting the product of a couple of great American pharmaceutical companies and be free of this.

After all this time, all of our technology, all the posturing, obfuscation, sensationalizing, and dying, you know what we know about the virus? That it is primarily — nearly exclusively — transmitted through prolonged indoor contact. Same thing we thought we knew last May. You know what else we know? That the vaccine works remarkably well, with relatively few side effects. What we’ve all been hoping for since last May. It’s impossible to say now if, had we been more diligent about what matters and stopped spending so much energy on what didn’t matter (disinfecting surfaces, arguing, etc…) if our death totals would have been different. But what is almost certain is that we could have come through this without it forcing all of us into our tribal corners. It was really nice, almost idyllic, for that short space of time last year when “we’re all in this together” was an actual, real thing.

The 8 o’clock yells in support of first responders and medical front-line workers… for a brief spell, we were

all Americans.

But within months, this stupid little virus, which is smaller than the opinions we tend to hold of the people in the other tribe, had driven a wedge between us, and we’re having a devil of a time removing it. And that’s assuming anybody is even trying to remove it.

So among the things we need to add to the list of “things we’ve lost” — somewhere well below the 600,000 fellow Americans who have died — should go our sense of national cohesion, our trust in science, and our belief that politicians of any stripe really do things for the right reasons.

But that shouldn’t stop you and me from doing the right thing. My family had dinner at Cinzetti’s a couple weeks ago; my son is going to get in a full season of soccer this year, including a season-ending tournament; baseball fields have been full of the sounds of games; and playgrounds will be full of the sounds of kids playing for the last two weeks of school.

Celebrate. Act happy. Be like the children. Remember that Joy is essential for humanity — and that your own humanity is not dependent on tribal virtue signaling.

It’s over.

Faith Christian seeking ‘ministerial exception’ from lawsuit Former FCA teacher Gregg Tucker filed a wrongful termination suit in 2019

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On May 11, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the case of Tucker v. Faith Bible Chapel International, which concerns the 2018 termination of former Faith Christian Academy teacher Gregg Tucker from the Arvada-based Christian high school.

The 10th Circuit Court will now decide whether or not to accept Faith Bible Chapel’s appeal. If the appeal is accepted, the 10th Circuit will hear the case – if the appeal is denied, the case will be sent back its prior venue, the Denver District Court.

Tucker was a teacher and chapel director at the school from 2000 until February 2018. The K-12 academy, which is at 12189 W. 64th Ave., has a student body of roughly 1,000 students. Tucker alleges he was fired in response to a chapel meeting he organized on Jan. 12, 2018, addressing “a number of disturbing incidents of racism,” according to a letter he wrote on Jan. 6, 2018.

Faith Bible Chapel used what is called an interlocutory appeal before a trial court could reach a decision in the case, arguing that the ministerial exception — a doctrine that bars the application of anti-discrimination laws to ministers employed by religious organizations — is meant to protect religious organizations from the scrutiny of a jury trial.

“If Faith Bible is right that the (ministerial exception) bars suit in this case, all of this upcoming

In 1959, singer Bobby Vee and his band the Shadows were looking for a piano player. Dylan introduced himself as Elston Gunnn (yes: three “n’s”), and said he had just gotten off the road with Conway Twitty.

discovery and litigation rings a bell that cannot be unrung,” the school’s lawyers wrote in a brief filed in October.

Larger legal questions Last July, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of `Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru’ that lay teachers can fall within the ministerial exception. The Court declined to adopt a “rigid formula” for determining whether teachers at religious schools fall within the exception, siding with the Catholic school in a 7-2 decision.

“Judicial review of the way in which religious schools discharge those responsibilities would undermine the independence of religious institutions in a way that the First Amendment does not tolerate,” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in the majority decision.

Tucker’s attorney Bradley Girard of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State said that broadening the protections of the ministerial exception would shield religious organizations from having to adhere to secular school’s employment standards, and that the church is trying to skirt the legal process with its interlocutory appeal.

“The school’s argument aligns with an alarming trend we’re seeing; religious employers are urging courts to adopt an ever-broader interpretation of the ministerial exception,” Girard said. “They want it applied not just to clergy and some private-school educators with significant religious duties, but to all employees at religious organizations.

“What’s more,” Girard continued, “the school is also making the unprecedented argument that just because it claims Gregg Tucker was a minister — despite what he actuEventually, Vee decided the band couldn’t afford him and Gunnn left.

In 2013, three years before Vee’s death, Dylan sang Vee’s “Suzie Baby” as a tribute.

ally did — the ministerial exception applies, and the court can’t weigh the facts of the case. The school wants to circumvent the legal process and deny Gregg his right to challenge the discrimination and retaliation he suffered.”

Faith Bible Chapel attorney Daniel Blomberg of the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty said that the case is an issue of separating church and state, citing the 2012 case of `Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,’ in which the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal discrimination laws do not apply to religious organization’s selection of religious leaders.

“If the separation of church and state means anything, it means a chaplain can’t sue his church in federal court over what he taught in a chapel service,” said Blomberg in a statement. “The unanimous Supreme Court confirmed almost a decade ago that the First Amendment protects healthy church-state relationships by barring that kind of religious entanglement.”

Girard countered Blomberg’s

citation of ‘Hosanna-Tabor,’ arguing that the same protections provided from that case do not apply to Tucker’s because he was a teacher and not exclusively a minister.

“The ministerial exception was never intended to be a free pass for any religious employer to discriminate against its entire workforce and sidestep civil-rights laws,” said Girard. “Gregg Tucker was not a minister nor was he a chaplain in any meaningful sense of the word; he was an exemplary teacher and student-life director.

“Gregg was fired because he tried to combat pervasive racism at the school,” Girard continued. “The court should not allow religious freedom to be distorted as a license to discriminate and deny basic civil rights.”

The 10th Circuit panel includes Circuit Judges Robert Bacharach, David Ebel & Carolyn McHugh, who will now decide whether the appeals court is the proper venue for the case. Lawyer and University of Denver Adjunct Professor of Privacy Law Elizabeth Tharakan said the Court could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to reach a decision.

DJs ready to mix it up

Recent proms are just the tip of the iceberg for live entertainment companies that are wanting to increase business after a slow and difficult year of public health restrictions.

Imprint Entertainment has done three proms at Denver metro high schools this spring.

ear that? Well, if the noise you heard any time in the past year, there’s a good chance it wasn’t the sound of a disc jockey booth.

Not surprisingly, business has been bad for DJs and live entertainment companies. COVID-19 restrictions reduced the number of gigs for Denver metro DJs to nearly zero. Many squeaked by from working virtual proms and socially distanced bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs, but it’s already much better because there are now real proms and other events as public health restrictions loosen.

“I feel like we went from hibernating bears to chickens with our heads cut off,” said Rikki Mor, operations manager at Denver-based Imprint Entertainment. For most of last year, Mor said she could

count the number of live events Imprint booked on two hands.

Michael Crabtree, owner of Denver-based DJ Guy, said business was down 80% to 85% from 2019 to 2020. DJ Connection, a nationwide company that has a Denver office, had 4,000 events scheduled last year, three-quarters of which were canceled, said owner Jason Bailey.

Some events were entirely nonexistent during the pandemic, such as school dances and corporate events. All of the companies worked weddings and Imprint did a few bar and bat mitzvahs, one of which was a “carmitzvah,” Mor described. At the carmitzvah — held at Wings over the Rockies in Denver— people congregated and celebrated by setting up tables at their adequately distanced parked cars, Mor said.

Another pandemic-flex event SEE DJ, P17

After a long and difficult year, live entertainment companies and DJs want to go back to normal. They have managed with socially distanced events, or private proms or virtual proms. But many look forward to events, weddings being chief among them, PHOTO BY BRITTANY RAE PHOTOGRAPHY/COURTESY OF DJ CONNECTION where more people are allowed.

The bright lights shine on Denver COMING ATTRACTIONS

n many cases listening to a podcast is a passive activity - something people listen to while exercising, sitting in the car or doing chores around the house.

But “The Bright Lights of Denver,” a new podcast sponsored by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Powered By OffCenter program, is a show that gets the listener involved.

“The Bright Lights of Denver” tells the fictional story of aspiring novelist-turnedjournalist Ryan Streeter, who starts out studying the history of the Mile-High City and suddenly finds himself investigating the sudden disappearance of a friend.

Created by Kenny Moten and Jessica Hindsley, the four-episode series will make its fully-produced world premiere in June.

The project is one of two selected out of 39 entries by the Powered By Off-Center program. Launched in 2018, it is a residency program for local artists that culminated in two fully-supported workshops at the DCPA, Charlie Miller, Off-Center curator, explained. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program was adapted to propose safe theatrical experiences that could be fully produced at the DCPA in June.

“The goal has been to inspire new ideas, build new creative partnerships, and contribute to Colorado’s local artistic ecology,” he added.

Among the requirements for this year’s entries into the program were to be theatrical at its core, put the audience at the center of the story and be able to run for

at least a month and accommodate at least 1,000 audience members through the run.

“Of all the projects proposed, `The Bright Lights of Denver’ best met all our selection criteria,” Miller said. “It tells a compelling story and explores issues very relevant to Denver today. And it provides exciting opportunities for the audience to get out into the world and engage with the characters and the story.”

Audiences don’t just listen - they can interact with the characters through their Instagram accounts and connect with other fans of the show on the Bright Lights Facebook group. There will also be two Zoom question and answer sessions with SEE READER, P17

the DJs worked was the “private prom.” DJ Guy booked one with about 25 high school students from different schools, whose parents (the parents were in a friend group) put on for their kids at a small venue. Crabtree jokingly said, “It felt a lot more like parents planning a party for themselves and the kids were invited.” The ratio of parents who took photos in the photo booth versus the students is evidence of that, he added.

That said, the students seemed like they had a lot of fun because “they had been stripped of some of these fun and engaging things that have been a rite of passage in high school,” Crabtree said. Not only were the restrictions slightly looser at the private prom, but parents were more relaxed about the music. For example, at a schoolsanctioned dance, Crabtree might not be allowed to play an unedited version of Cardi B’s “WAP,” but the private prom parents didn’t have a problem with it. “It’s kinda funny,” Crabtree said.

Slightly similar, DJ Connection worked virtual proms, where a student and their date were at individual homes and streamed into a group Zoom. The DJ, in his own Zoom box, played the music and performed as they normally do — even pausing at points to hype up the crowd by saying, “we got some shout-outs here!” or “we’re giving out prizes!” — to make the experience feel as normal as possible, Bailey said.

Virtual proms have been fun, but also, “weird because you can’t see the kids … it’s a strange experience for us because DJs feed off the crowd’s energy,” Bailey said.

However, those strange events

Scanning these QR codes with your phone unlocks additional parts of the story that help solve the mystery, according to Miller. “‘The Bright Lights of Denver’ is a great story and an intriguing mystery. But it is also much more than that,” said Miller. “Real interviews with City officials and local experts are woven through the episodes as the main character explores serious issues confronting Denver: the growth of the city, the lack of affordable housing, and gentrification.”

have helped the bottom line. Even then, Imprint had to lay off a few full-time employees and a few DJs departed. DJ Connection dealt with the same problem, but it didn’t end up laying off full-time employees because it’s a larger company. Still, Bailey worries if he’ll have enough DJs to work the bevy of events the company is lining up for later this year. A few DJs with DJ Guy were furloughed.

“I don’t personally see us recovering as an industry until at least 2022 to 2023, depending,” said Crabtree.

Things are picking up, though.

Imprint recently did a prom at Legacy High School, an Adams 12 Five Star Schools district school, and DJ

Connection did a prom at Horizon High School in Thornton, another Adams 12 school. DJ Guy recently did a dance with Douglas County School District and is looking to book events with Jefferson County Public Schools. Imprint, DJ Connection and DJ Guy all have tons of weddings on the horizon. Many are rescheduled gigs, but some are new events. On June 26, Bailey said DJ Connection will be at 19 events in Denver, over half of which are rescheduled events.

Like other businesses, live entertainment companies are cautiously optimistic about the prospect of more, and larger, gatherings as more people are vaccinated. That’s what excites the live entertainment

All participating businesses are part of the agricultural industry, in the form of the food they produce or through products like botanical soaps, flowers or zero waste supplies.

Big reopening for Tiny Town After a canceled 2020, attraction set to get back on track Memorial Day weekend

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tiny Town has survived floods and encroaching fires. Lucky for area children, it has also survived COVID-19.

The diminutive municipality opens for the year at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 29.

After sitting closed for 20 months, Tiny Town’s workers and volunteers are cleaning, polishing and prepping for the opening.

“We’re really looking forward to opening!” seasonal employee Bettiann said (last name withheld).”It’s just a joy to see how people love to come here.”

It’s an opening day that didn’t always look likely amid pandemic and financial worries.

“It’s been a long haul,” General Manager Elvira Nedoma said.

With the business unable to open to the public in 2020, Nedoma said it struggled last year. Since it runs on volunteers and seasonal employees, Tiny Town was not eligible to receive forms of government assistance available for other businesses.

A dozen volunteers help run the five little train engines that circle the grounds, while a regular roster of eight seasonal employees keep the town running.

“They come back year after year,” Nedoma said, herself in her 21st year at Tiny Town. “Some of them have been here longer than me!”

Eric Witulski, a seasonal employee now in his 13th season, was busy setting up the gift shop with Bettiann on a sunny afternoon last week. After missing out on a season of work, he said he was happy to be back and expecting a busy summer.

“I think everybody who lives nearby and has kids should check it out,” he said.

Tiny Town was first opened in 1915

by George Turner. Originally named Turnerville, it survived the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918.

On top of the current pandemic,

Tiny Town has its own post office, although it does not accept large packages.

Tiny Town has also had to deal with vandalism over the last few months.

Someone spray-painted on the entryway. A hacker also ruined the website.

Nedoma said overall, though, public support for Tiny Town has been heartening. She set up a fundraiser to support Tiny Town through the

pandemic, which raised more than $30,0000 in donations and helped pay the bills last year.

“Without that, who knows,” Nedoma said.

The future looks good for Tiny Town, according to Nedoma, with several day camp organizations already scheduling time to come up.

“Kids love this place, and they’ve been cooped up inside, staring at screens,” Nedoma said. “They just need to get outside.”

make a huge difference in the lives of aging Coloradans.”

Dr. Nathan Estrada, Nymbl’s vice president of clinical, was a physical therapist before joining the Nymbl team. He said he took the position with Nymbl because he believed it ofEstrada fered older adults a better option for balance training than traditional methods.

“My research interest was based on ‘Why do we need to keep seeing the same older adults over and over again?’” said Estrada. “You see them decline and it felt like we were just monetizing older adults — we weren’t helping their help or wellness; we were just recycling them.”

Summer Jam music event returning in June

“So, I started looking into older age engagement and what the industry was missing on the clinical side,” Estrada continued, “and it really came down to the key finding for me that it was not about me as a clinician and I had to get over my own arrogance as this paternalistic view of all the things we should do.”

Estrada began asking patients more targeted questions such as “What are your goals?” “Do you know why I’m here?” and “What do you want to achieve?”

“I asked a really funny question,” Estrada said, “‘Do you want to exercise?’ And 40% of my clients said no. What I found was, if you start with things that people don’t want to do, your outcomes are always going to be temporary. And then I was pitched by Nymbl and we just went `Instead of asking people to do balance training, what if we just gave them a fun game that happened to improve their balance?’”

Tyler Crenshaw Chatfield High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school.

I played soccer on varsity freshman and sophomore year as well as wrestling my junior year

What are your plans after graduation?

Take a gap year and then go into welding

Crenshaw

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

Don’t take things for

granted because you only know you miss it when its gone.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Excited, worried, stressed.

Devinne Chacon Chatfield High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school.

I was in mock trial for two years, I was apart of the MCA club for a year and was in charge of taking Santa photos for the children at the winter holiday event. I also participated in relay for life one year.

What are your plans after graduation?

I’m going to go to Red Rocks Community College and get my associates degree.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

If I hadn’t learned that things change constantly, the pandemic solidified that idea in my head. The pandemic taught me that even when things are out of my control, I still have control over my emo-

tions and my attitude. I had control over my dedication to my school work, and to my friends and family. The pandemic took away a lot of important events I had been looking forward to since I Chacon was a kid. Everyone dreams about going to prom and having a senior ball and winning at every assembly that takes place. We did not get to experience that, and while that makes me sad I know that it is the people that I chose to surround myself with this year that made it a great year, not the experiences themselves. With the mindset that everything changes, and somethings I just can’t control, and the idea that I can make any hangout session with friends a party if I try hard enough, my senior year has been a great one. Not the one I expected, or one I ever planned to have, but one I am grateful for nonetheless.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Determined, hopeful, realistic.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

I know my limits when it comes to changing the world. I know I’m only one person, and my opinion will only be carried so far. My mission is to be self aware, of the system I live in and am a part of.

I will encourage others to be mindful of themselves and where we all stand in our communities and the world. The idea that saving one animal won’t save the whole species is true, but by encouraging the people I come across to be mindful I will change enough lives to make an impact.

Even if it’s only a few people I help see the world through normal glasses, instead of rose tinted ones, I will have changed their lives. If I change it for better or for worse, I will have to let them decide.

Dylan Knudsen Chatfield High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school.

Over the course of high school, I made an effort to immerse myself in many different activities. I was in the run crew for Chatfield’s performance of Singin in the Rain. I joined an amateur Overwatch league, and we won the league. I joined the short lived Dungeons and Dragons club, and co-ran the gaming club for 3 semesters. I achieved my dream to join the Warren Tech program by getting into the Computer Science Class. I interned at School of Mines, I interned at Red Rocks Community College, and I got a job programming survey drones for a flooring com-

pany. I wanted to experience many things, and I certainly did that.

What are your plans after graduation?

I’m going to join the Knudsen workforce, jumping into a career in Software Design or Cybersecurity.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

The moment that really sticks with me is how I was hired for my job. I was mentioning how the Warren Tech program has helped me out, and I mentioned my computer proficiency. As luck would have it, my great-uncle needed a software designer for his drones. We got to talking and he hired me that night.

That night taught me self-confidence.

Being proud of your abilities is never something to be ashamed of. Brag about yourself. it might just work out.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

I am excited, optimistic, and refreshed. This is a time to move onto new things, and I’ve taken time to set myself up well. I’ll be jumping into my new life out of High School and hitting the ground running.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

Our mission is to leave the world better than we found it. No matter what you’re doing, do it to improve. Something can always be better. You just have to find it.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

The moment that I got covid while my brother was battling cancer for the fourth time. He was in pain, and on the verge of passing for the forth time, so my little sickness was ot important at the time. I valued to not wory about myself, but to always help others and put others before you. I was so scared that I was

going to hurt him and infect him, I didn’t leave my bed for at least thre weeks. I learned that even though I was miserable and lonely, the result of me risking my brother’s life was way worse.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Optimistic, patient, and laughable.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

I see my graduating class’ mission to better the world as providing more positivity and happinss to those around them.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

When I was caught up in working full time and drinking regularly it taught me to balance my life a bit with what I thought was important. I was saving money and helping the community while maintaining good mental health. The break I took from school helped me figure out what I want my

life to look like post graduation.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Hopeful, regretful, and somber.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

I participated in Warren Tech North’s Audio Production course.

What are your plans after graduation?

I plan on using the credits earned from Warren Tech and applying them to Red Rocks Community College’s audio course.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

The most memorable moment during the pandemic that instilled a key value in me was how people where able to come together and help others in need. I thought that this was a key value in me because I saw how people where able to take time from their own problems and help others. Examples of this where people raising money for local businesses, giving gifts and support to frontline workers, and helping the homeless/others who struggle with food or other needs.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Three adjectives that describe my outlook going forward are dediTorres cation, perseverance, and hope. I say dedication because I want to stay committed with my plans on college. I say preference because of how important it is for me to stay with my goals even though it can be difficult. Lastly, I say hope because by having hope, it can help ease the worries that occur from the future and looking forward.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

I see my graduating class’ mission to better the world is something that involves changing and advancing our community. Whether that is implementing new programs that help the homeless or people in need. Or providing help towards creating new business and opportunities for people.

What are your plans after graduation?

I am attending Colorado Mesa to major in Mass Communications.

What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you?

I was extremely close to not being able to attend our Senior Gala (prom) and senior field day, which were the only senior events we really got, because I had to quarantine because I was exposed to someone in my Metcalf household who tested positive.

I ended up having to quarantine and I took every precaution and even isolated myself in my room which caused me to go into depression and since I thought I would be missing out on these big events, I felt like giving up on school and not work hard to get my assignments done. At the last second I was able to go. I learned the value of appreciating all the opportunities available to you and not taking them for granted.

I also learned that you may miss out on things and that’s no reason for you to give

up and get upset because there will be many great things in the future.

What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Optimism, perseverance, and eager.

What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world?

Our class is the future, we are the generation that has faced so many challenges at such a young age that we will take action to change the future.

We have also been more accepting of diversity within our community and we’ve been actively involved. So our mission is taking action in whatever we can.

COVID FROM PAGE 1

As of May 16, several metro counties are now operating in what they call “level clear,” generally with no local restrictions — and that’s likely to continue unless things take a turn for the worse.

In Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, for example, level clear will continue unless hospitalizations trigger a “snapback provision,” where restrictions would return if a county exceeds 2 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents, measured a certain way over a 14-day period.

That bar is unlikely to be reached in Adams and Arapahoe counties, said John Douglas, head of Tri-County Health Department. That’s the health agency for those two counties and Douglas County. Broomfield also moved to level clear May 16, and Denver said it was “planning to meet level clear standards,” according to a spokesperson. Denver’s new public health order was to take effect May 16. Boulder County was to also move to level clear on May 16.

Some counties had already been living under no dial restrictions: Douglas County’s elected leaders opted out of Tri-County Health’s extension of the dial system during an April 13 meeting. Some other counties that indicated that they would not issue local orders included Elbert and Weld.

And with coronavirus cases on

The pandemic’s fourth wave in Colorado shows signs of waning, but cases and hospitalizations remain high compared to other times in the course of COVID-19’s spread.

General spread across the community, particularly in settings involving school-aged and young adult residents who are less likely to be vaccinated, appears to have driven the fourth wave, said John Douglas, executive director of the Tri-County Health Department.

a downward trend, metro Denver counties might not see dial restrictions again — although it depends on how the virus fares this fall.

“We do expect over the summer months that the numbers will come down, and this may become more of a seasonal illness with numbers coming back up in the fall,” said Eric France, Colorado’s chief medical officer, at a May 13 news conference.

Any consideration by the state of bringing back dial restrictions “will depend on the experience of the fall” and is “too hard to predict at this point, given there are variants to consider,” France added.

Although the state’s dial system

more frequent in-person classes, but Douglas said it’s difficult to tell whether that change has contributed to the fourth wave in TriCounty’s area.

“We are seeing more outbreaks in school in which we think in-school transmission is responsible, but these account for less than 10% of cases in school-aged kids,” Douglas said. “My hunch is that schools remain relatively safe — also supported by the data the schools are gathering — and that transmission in the community settings mentioned above are the big factors.”

That’s the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Personal gatherings, restaurants and sports-related gatherings continue to be among the most frequently cited locations where people in Tri-County’s area may have been exposed to COVID-19, Douglas said.

“High levels of the B.1.1.7 variant is making transmission in all settings more likely,” Douglas said, referring to the United Kingdom variant.

Several school districts in the Denver metro area have moved to

large increase in contacts and transmission, we could potentially see a lot of deaths,” Buchwald said. She added: “The pandemic is not over. We still have to be vigilant.”

expired in mid-April, not all virus restrictions are local. On the heels of the state dial ending, Colorado issued a new public health order that maintains some limits on large indoor gatherings. Colorado’s mask mandate is a separate order.

Despite all the news about restrictions fading away, Colorado has likely been experiencing a higher number of active COVID-19 infections than it did during the pandemic’s first peak last spring — even when accounting for the lack of testing at that time, according to estimates by the Colorado School of Public Health as of May 12.

“If people make major behavior changes right away that lead to a

High hospital cases, deaths loom Asked whether metro counties’ move to level clear will have a large impact on coronavirus spread, Buchwald said it’s difficult to predict.

“A lot of how people behave is dependent on the messaging they get and the messaging they believe. And I think the urgency for reopening is real,” Buchwald said. But “if the message is ‘the SEE COVID, P29

pandemic is over,’ I think that’s a dangerous message because I think that’ll lead people to do riskier behaviors.”

A big takeaway from Colorado’s data is that the number of COVID-19 cases recently is still “very high,” particularly in comparison to the lows of last summer, Buchwald said.

“The thing that people have lost sight of is: Can you believe if five years ago there was an infectious disease and there were 600 people in the state of Colorado hospitalized?” Buchwald said. “It seems unimportant because we’ve gotten so used to it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a major problem.”

She noted that even a person with COVID-19 who is not hospitalized may still face long-term health consequences, which some have called “long COVID,” she said.

On top of that, more than 700 more deaths could occur in Colorado from early May through the end of July even with “high levels” of vaccination and the current level of social distancing and mask-wearing as of early May, both of which are likely to decline, according to Douglas, the health chief.

About 48% of all Coloradans But the choice to drop restricare estimated to be immune due tions is “all about balances and to vaccination or prior infection, tradeoffs,” Douglas said. while 47% are “I think it estimated to is likely that have received if we went at least one into complete dose of a vaclockdown like cine, the state 13 months ago, public-health we’d be expedepartment riencing fewer said in a May deaths,” Doug14 news release. las said.

dial restrictions, Commissioner Abe Laydon said he would like for residents to “break the delusion” that there is a need for a continuation of public health orders.

“I want … Douglas County to be the first county in the state to say ‘this pandemic is over,’” Laydon said. Laydon again said “the pandemic is over” during a May 11 meeting.

Douglas, the health chief, said the comment is “completely inaccurate” from a literal standpoint.

“The pandemic, meaning a global epidemic, is far from over,” Douglas said. He added: “I actually think he was being somewhat hyperbolic to say Douglas County is not going to be threatened by the pandemic, we’ve got enough vaccination … that interpretation of his remarks is probably true.”

But Douglas doesn’t think the way it was said was “helpful to the larger conversation,” he continued.

Buchwald, the researcher with the school of public health, said in Colorado “very clearly it’s not over,” pointing to the high number of cases.

“I think it’s important to step back and realize there are 600 hospitalized in the state of Colorado alone,” Buchwald reiterated.

“I wish the pandemic was over as well,” Buchwald said, “but wishful thinking is not enough.”

Columbine comes up just short for 5A volleyball title match

Columbine seniors Francesca Cereda (12) and Abi Nua (9) attempt to block the spike attempt of Grandview junior Isabel Bennett (10) during the Class 5A state semifinal match Thursday, May 13, at the World Arena in Colorado Springs. The Rebels got out to a 2-0 lead, but the Wolves rallied to take a 3-2 victory.

Columbine seniors Annie Barrows (7) and Abi Nua (9) celebrate a point during the Rebels’ Class 5A state semifinal match against Grandview on Thursday, May 13, at the World Arena in Colorado Springs. Columbine fell just short advancing to the 5A title game. Grandview took a 3-2 victory to end Columbine’s season.

PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

COLORADO SPRINGS — Columbine’s girls volleyball team was one set away from getting back to a state championship match for the first time in more than four decades.

The No. 4-seeded Rebels were up on No. 8 Grandview 2-0 in the Class 5A state semifinal match in the morning on Thursday, May 13.

Columbine needed to win one more set to advance to the state championship game, a place the Rebels hadn’t been since making the AAA title game against Mitchell back in 1975.

However, Grandview stormed back winning the final three sets 2516, 25-22 and 15-12 to end the dreams of a state title for the Rebels.

“We kind of let up in the third set yesterday,” Columbine junior Audrey Dowd said referring to the Rebels taking a 2-0 lead on Cherry Creek before the Bruins took the third set. “We try not too, but we fell in a slump and couldn’t pull out of it.”

Columbine was able to rebound against Cherry Creek in the state quarterfinal match to take a 3-1 victory, but it was a different story against the Wolves in the morning game that started at 8 a.m. May 13 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

“They (Grandview) got rolling and we couldn’t find a way to stop it,” Columbine coach Shelly Kurach SEE COLUMBINE, P36

Wheat Ridge off to a hot start in 4A Jeffco League

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Wheat Ridge’s girls soccer team is wasting no time when it comes to racking up the victories.

The Farmers — No. 4 in the Class 4A CHSAANow.com rankings — improved to 3-0 on the season with a dominating 6-0 victory over Conifer on Monday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.

“Off to a really good start. I’m really pleased with the girls,” Wheat Ridge coach Dan Watkins said.

“There hasn’t been enough training to be where we want to be, but we are starting to put things together and creating some combination. We are putting some goals on the board so that feels good.”

The Farmers kept the good vibes going with a 10-0 victory over Alameda International later in the week.

All four of Wheat Ridge’s wins have come in 4A Jeffco League play to give the Farmers the lead out of the gates in the deep conference. The Farmers have outscored their opponents 24-1.

A 2-1 victory out of the gates against league rival Green Moun-

tain on May 4 really jump-started the season for the Farmers.

“Having the really tough first game I think really prepared us,” Wheat Ridge senior Jessica Brummett said of the Farmers’ 1-goal victory against the Rams. “It got us into the mindset of working hard and staying disciplined early on.”

The Farmers scored early and often on a cold and rainy Monday, May 10, at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Sophomore Sadie Powers knocked in the first goal in the 2nd minute off a corner kick. Brummett scored a minute later to make it a 2-0 lead for the Farmers.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start,” Coach Watkins said of the Farmers scoring twice in the opening three minutes. “It gives you a chance to relax and let the game come to us. It put us in a good position for the rest of the night.”

Brummett would complete the hattrick with goals in the 32nd and 48th minutes to give herself already five goals on the season.

“I was kind of mad last game because I didn’t get to score, but my teammates have been giving me a lot SEE FARMERS, P47

Chatfield’s girls volleyball C R O S S W O R D P U Z Z L E season ends at state

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

COLORADO SPRINGS — Chatfield’s volleyball walked into the World Arena on Wednesday, May 12, as a dark horse to win the Class 5A state title.

The No. 6-seeded Chargers (9-5 record) had to face 5A Jeffco League rival — No. 3 Ralston Valley — in one of the final quarterfinal matches late Wednesday night in the 8-team single-elimination tournament held in Colorado Springs.

“It was tough to have RV as a match-up because they are such a great team,” Chatfield coach Stephanie Schick said. “With only eight teams at state we knew they wouldn’t flip any team when it came to facing league opponents.”

Ralston Valley had defeated Chatfield in straight sets during their conference match-up earlier in the year. The Mustangs were able to repeat the feat with a 25-22, 25-18, 25-22 victory to end the Chargers’ season.

“We wanted to go farther, yes” Schick said. “But we made it here (state) and they got to have this experience. I’m so glad for that.”

Chatfield seniors Ella Farmariss (9) and Maddy Folks (6) put up a block as Ralston Valley senior Brianna Fay attempts to put down a kill during the Class 5A state quarterfinal match May 12 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

wasn’t a question when it came to the Chargers.

“I’m so proud of them,” Schick said. “When we knew the high school season and club would overlap a lot could have chosen not to participate in the high school season. I don’t think any of our girls wavered.”

Chatfield had to go through quarantine issues like several volleyball programs went through this season, but the Chargers battled back to the state tournament after falling short advancing out of regionals during the Fall 2019 season.

“The extra time was a gift,” Schick said of the Chargers advancing to regionals and state this year that meant nearly an extra three weeks together as a team. “Regionals feel so long ago because it was two weekends ago. The time the girls got to spend with each other really gave them a bright spot, a little more shine. This season was so tough.”

Schick graduates eight seniors from this season’s team, including 5A Jeffco first-team all-conference selections Ella Tschuor and Maddy Folks.

said of the final three sets. “We slowed down our game and got on our heels a little bit. We just can’t seem to close out matches in that third game. That was our struggle this year.”

Despite the loss, Kurach was positive on the best season for the Rebels that ended with a 13-2 record.

“It has been amazing. These girls fought hard,” Kurach said.

The experience of making it to the 5A state semifinals was something the Rebels won’t forget.

“It has been crazy,” Dowd said of the two-day experience at state. “It’s the most energy I’ve seen on this team and the most fight. We all came so close over the past two weeks at practice and the past two days down here. It felt amazing.”

Columbine does graduate eight seniors, including 5A Jeffco League MVP — Abi Nua. “We’ve got some building to do, but we’ve got a good foundation,” Kurach said. “We’ll keep it rolling.”

The Rebels will nearly roll right into the Fall 2021 season in a few months.

“It’s crazy,” Dowd said of getting back out on the court for the Fall 2021 season that will start up at the beginning of next school year in August.

“We have a lot of seniors leaving, but there are still four of us that will stick together and push through.”

The water exchanged to Strontia Springs Reservoir may then be diverted through Conduit 26 to Denver’s Foothills Water Treatment Plant (“FWTP”) or through Aurora’s Rampart Tunnel to Rampart Reservoir and the Roxborough Water Treatment Plant (“RWTP”). 3. Description of conditional water right: a. Date of original decree, case no. and court: The original decree was entered March 23, 2007, in Case No. 05CW30, District Court, Water Division No. 1. b. Subsequent diligence decree: A diligence decree was entered April 10, 2015, in Case No. 13CW3006, District Court, Water Division No. 1. c. Legal descriptions: i.

The exchange-from point is Chatfield Reservoir.

The right abutment of Chatfield Dam is located in Douglas County, in Sections 6 and 7, Township 6 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M. The left abutment of the dam is located in Jefferson County, in Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 69

West of the 6th P.M. ii. The exchange-to points are the Strontia Springs Reservoir and diversion dam and the High Line Canal.

On May 11, 2015, as a result of heavy precipitation in the area, a large sink hole developed in the dam for Lambert Reservoir No. 3, which acts as a fore bay for the Meadow Ditch and is used to store delayed return flows pursuant to the District’s change decree. Between May 11 and May 29. 2015, the District removed a portion of the dam and modified the outlet structures to stabilize the area and prevent a dam failure. The District also regraded and reseeded the surrounding area to prevent further erosion. All work was done in coordination with the Water Commissioner and dam safety engineers. b. In 2016 and 2017, the District and Mr. Barenberg financed surveys and studies of alternative designs to reconstruct Lambert dam and reservoir at its original site, or to replace a portion of the storage capacity at the original site and build a dam upstream on Mr. Barenberg’s property to store his portion of the water right. c. In 2018, the District was notified by the Water Commissioner that a breach had developed on Meadow Ditch. On April 25, 2018, the District placed a section of culvert in Meadow Ditch to repair the breach and prevent future recurrence. The District also removed vegetation impacting the headgate and flume, and regraded and reseeded the area to prevent erosion. All work was done in coordination with the Water Commissioner. d. In 2019 and 2021, the District completed a Feasibility Report with a 50% grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board documenting conceptual design of the reconstruction of Lambert dam. e. Continued leasing water each year for irrigation use, and began negotiations in March 2021 to lease the water for irrigation by a new tenant, pending permanent change to municipal use. f.

Survey drawings showing the location and legal descriptions of each well are attached as exhibits to this application. The source of the PLSS description is a filed survey as shown in the attached exhibits. The source of the UTM coordinates is WGS-84. In the event of a discrepancy between the UTM coordinates and the PLSS descriptions in this part 3.B., the Applicant is relying on the UTM coordinates as the most accurate description of the location of the wells. 4. The Us and Them Trust dated 9-7-2017is the owner of the land upon which Lorenz Wells No. 1 and 2 are located.

Claim No. 1 seeks to adjudicate an underground water right for an existing exempt domestic well. Claim No. 2 seeks approval of a plan for augmentation including exchange. Applicant owns a 30-acre parcel of land presently known as 12251 El Pico Dr., Conifer, Colorado 80433, Jefferson County which will be subdivided into two lots, with one well on each lot (two wells total). One well is the existing exempt well subject to Claim No. 1 and the other well is a non-exempt well that will be operated for indoor use only pursuant to the plan for augmentation to be decreed through this Application. CLAIM NO. 1: APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT 3. Name of Well and Permit Number: Boyne Well No. 1, Well Permit No. 269301. a.

Remarks: The Boyne Well No. 1 is an exempt well that will keep its exempt status. Senate Bill 20-0155, adopted on July 2, 2020, amended Section 37-92-602(3) to allow an existing exempt well permitted pursuant to Section 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A) to retain its exemption after the land on which the well is located has been divided, provided that the existing well is only used on a single lot of the divided land and remains the only well serving that lot. CLAIM NO. 2: APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHT 5. Name of Structure to be Augmented: Boyne Well No. 2 will divert ground water on a separate lot to be subdivided from a parcel of land located in the SW1/4 SE1/4, Section 29, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M. in Jefferson County. The rate of diversion for the well will not exceed 15 gallons per minute. An application to construct the well will be submitted to Division of Water Resources when the property described herein is developed and the well is needed. Boyne’s property on which Boyne Well No. 2 will be located is shown on the map attached as Exhibit A. The exact location of the well will be determined as the property within the area described above is developed and described in the well permit issued for the well. 6. Water Rights to be Use for Augmentation Purposes: Boyne has entered into a contract with North Fork Associates, LLC to purchase 1.0 share of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”) stock, which represents a firm annual yield of 0.032 of an acre-foot to satisfy present and anticipated future replacement needs associated with Boyne Well No. 2. a. The water rights associated with the MMRC share include the following: i. Slaght Ditch: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a Decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22.

Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238 and 0.727 was transferred in Case No. 16CW3197. ii. Mack Ditch No. 2: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion of the Mack Ditch No. 2 was originally established to be on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River at a point in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 43° East, a distance of 984 feet more or less. By an Order of the Park County District Court entered on October 17, 1927, the point of diversion was moved approximately 789 feet upstream to a point on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 79 º 30’ East, a distance of 1,292 feet, more or less. In Case Nos. W-7503, W-7548, 80CW080, 80CW455, 81CW143, 81CW298, and 89CW081, at total of 0.1191 of a cubic foot per second of Mack Ditch No. 2 water right was transferred out of the ditch for uses other than irrigation. Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238. iii.

Nickerson No. 2 Ditch: The Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 262 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 24 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1872 as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913 in the amount of 0.65 of a cubic-foot-per-second. The headgate is located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the E1/4 Corner, Section 9, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 58º15’ East, 2,320 feet and has historically irrigated approximately 35 acres adjacent to Deer Creek in the SE1/4 Section 9, NW1/4 Section 15, and NE1/4 Section 16, Township 7 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M. all in Park County. iv. Parmalee No. 1 Ditch: The Parmalee No. 1 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 251 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 14 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1867 as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913 in the amount of 0.52 of a cubic-foot-per-second.

In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner between Sections 31 and 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 85° 30’ East, 1,398 feet. Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. b. Firm Yield of Slaght Ditch Rights: The Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights described herein shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Slaght Ditch Rights.” Allocation of yield to Slaght Ditch Rights is attached as Exhibit B. The Decree issued in Case No. 03CW238, dated October 24, 2006, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Slaght Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which these water rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 03CW238, as follows: i. The Slaght Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1 or the Maddox Reservoir. ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Slaght Ditch Rights is 0.5 of a cubic foot per second. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period May 1 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Slaght Ditch headgates on the North Fork of the South Platte River. If the May 1, 1867 priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 2.0 cubic foot per second for the Slaght Ditch and 1.0 cubic foot per second for the Mack Ditch No. 2, MMRC’s diversions are limited to its prorate entitlement to the water when physically and legally available. iv. Maximum annual diversions of the portion of the Slaght Ditch Rights changed in 03CW238 are limited to 41 acre-feet per year. During any consecutive ten-year period, the total diversions are further limited to 342 acre-feet. v. Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 16CW3197, the historic consumptive use associated with an additional 0.727 cfs of the Slaght Ditch water right yields 31.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water. c. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No. 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 00CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 00CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir will be published in the Water Court Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Section 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are limited to the May 1, 1867 priorities decreed to the Parmalee Ditch No. 1 and the Carruthers Ditch No. 2. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment

for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period April 23 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Nickerson Ditch No. 2 headgate on Deer Creek. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 0.8 of a cubic foot per second, the diversion rate is reduced to the flow, which is then physically and legally available. iv. Maximum monthly diversions under the Nickerson Ditch Rights are limited follows: acre-feet; May, 16.0North acre-feet; 19.0 acre-feet; July, shares 16.0 acre-feet; August, 10.0 shares acre-feet; West,as6th P.M.,April, Park2.0 County, Colorado.

Public Notices City of Golden Public Notice ORDINANCE NO. 2157 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, AMENDING TITLE 11 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO RIGHT-OF-WAY REGULATIONS WHEREAS, obstructions and excavations in City rights of way disrupt and interfere with public use of the rights of way; and WHEREAS, obstructions and excavations in City rights of way result in loss of parking and loss of business to merchants and others whose places of business are in the vicinity of such obstructions and excavations; and WHEREAS, it is desirable to adopt policies and regulations which will enable the City of Golden to gain greater control over the disruption and interference with the public use of public streets and rights of way, in order to provide for the health, safety and well-being of the City’s residents and users of City streets; and WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to acquire, build, maintain and repair the streets within the City and cuts and excavations in the streets reduce the useful life of the pavement infrastructure; and WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to place and maintain landscaping within public rights of way in the City and cuts and excavations in the public rights of way cause damage to, and increase the costs of maintaining that landscaping; and WHEREAS, the various public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which install, maintain, and operate facilities under the City’s streets are constrained, from time to time, to make excavation cuts which degrade the surfaces of these thoroughfares, thereby reducing their useful life; and WHEREAS, operators of motor vehicles (private and commercial) pay added gasoline taxes to compensate for the damage their vehicles cause to City streets and roads. Part of these taxes are used by the federal government (the federal highway “trust fund”) for construction and maintenance of interstate and federal highways. The State of Colorado annually transfers revenue from gasoline taxes to the City for street maintenance.

Public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which degrade the streets presently do not adequately pay for the direct costs of the damage done to the roadway surfaces; and WHEREAS, demand for access to broadband services is growing, and in order to fill such demand, more broadband network infrastructure is being installed in Rights of Way; and WHEREAS, in some jurisdictions, the demand for access and the number of entities seeking to install Facilities has sometimes resulted in multiple, serial Excavations within the Rights of Way, which can and has resulted in traffic disruption, a weakening of pavement integrity, and a shortening of the useful life of paved surfaces, the effect of which can be mitigated with proper planning and oversight as set forth herein; and WHEREAS, while Colorado statutes, particularly, C.R.S. 38-5.5-109, contains some procedures for addressing joint trenching in connection with broadband provider operations in the Rights of Way, at the present time there is no formal mechanism nor legal requirement that all public and commercial entities coordinate Excavation in the Rights of Way, and construct Facilities in newly developed areas to minimize future Excavations; and WHEREAS, the City of Golden intends to responsibly manage its Rights of Way by anticipating such demand and planning accordingly.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO: Section 1. Chapter 11.20, “Cuts and Openings,” of the Golden Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety and re-enacted as a new Chapter 11.20, entitled “Right of Way Regulations,” to read as follows: Sec. 11.20.010. Purpose and Objectives. (a) Purpose. This Chapter provides principles, procedures and associated funding for the placement and coordination of Structures and Facilities, construction excavation encroachments and Work activities within or upon any Public Rights of Way, and to protect the integrity of the road system. To achieve these purposes, it is necessary to require permits of private users of the Public Rights of Way, to establish Permit procedures and to fix and collect fees and charges. (b) Objectives. Public and private uses of Public Rights of Way for location of Facilities employed in the provision of public services should, in the interests of the general welfare, be accommodated; however, the City must ensure that the primary purpose of the Rights of Way, the safe and efficient passage of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, is maintained to the greatest extent possible.

In addition, the value of other public and private installations, roadways, Facilities and properties should be protected, competing uses must be reconciled, and the public safety preserved. The use of the Rights of Way corridors for location of Facilities is secondary to these public objectives.

This Code is intended to strike a balance between the public need for efficient, safe transportation routes and the use of Rights of Way for location of Facilities by public and private entities. It thus has several objectives: (1) To ensure that the public safety is maintained and that public inconvenience is minimized.

(2) To protect the City’s Infrastructure investment by establishing repair standards for the pavement, Facilities, and property in the Public Rights of way, when Work is accomplished.

(3) To facilitate Work within the Rights of Way through the standardization of regulations.

(4) To maintain an efficient Permit process.

(5) To conserve and fairly apportion the limited physical capacity of the Public Rights of Way held in public trust by the City.

(6) To establish a public policy for enabling the City to discharge its public trust consistent with the rapidly evolving federal and state regulatory policies, industry competition and technological development.

(7) To promote and incentivize cooperation among the Permittees (as defined herein) and the City in the occupation of the Public Rights of way, and Work therein, in order to (i) eliminate duplication of construction that is wasteful, unnecessary or unsightly, (ii) lower the Permittee’s program costs and the City’s costs of providing services to the public, and (iii) minimize street cuts.

(8) To assure that the City can continue to fairly and responsibly protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

(6) Any other violation of this chapter or the ordinances of the City. (b) The three (3) year warranty period shall run from the date of the City’s initial acceptance of the Work. If repairs are required during the three (3) year warranty period, those repairs need only be warranted until the end of the initial three (3) year period starting with the date of initial acceptance.

It is not necessary that a new three (3) year warranty be provided for subsequent repairs after initial acceptance. (c) At any time prior to completion of the three (3) year warranty period, the City may notify the Permittee in writing of any needed repairs. Such repairs shall be completed within twenty four (24) hours if the defects are determined by the City to be an imminent danger to the public health, safety and welfare. Non-Emergency repairs shall be completed within thirty (30) calendar days after notice. (d) The warranty described in this section shall cover only those areas of Work undertaken by a Permittee, and not directly impacted by the Work of any other Permittee or the City. In the event that a portion of Work warranted by Permittee is subsequently impacted by Work of another Permittee or the City during the warranty period, that other Permittee or the City shall assume responsibility for repair to the subsequently impacted section of Rights of Way. (e) Unless otherwise specified in a franchise agreement between the Permittee and the City, before any Permit required by this chapter shall be issued to an Applicant, the Applicant may be required to file with the Director a cash surety, a bond, letter of credit in favor of the City or other financial guarantee in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total actual cost of construction, including labor and materials, as security for the performance of Work necessary to repair the Public Rights of Way if the Permittee fails to make the necessary repairs or to complete the Work under the Permit. The bond or letter of credit shall be executed by the Applicant as principal and by at least one surety upon whom service of process may be had in the state. The bond or letter of credit shall be conditioned upon the Applicant fully complying with all provisions of the Permit, and upon payment of all judgments and costs rendered against the Applicant for any violation of Permit provisions or for any loss, injury or damages arising out of any negligent or wrongful acts of the Applicant in the performance of Work done pursuant to the Permit. The City may, at the City’s discretion, call on the surety or issuing entity, or pursue any other legal remedies available to it at law or equity relating to the bond or letter of credit. The bond or letter of credit must be approved by the City’s/ finance director and city attorney as to form and as to the responsibility of the surety thereon prior to the issuance of the Permit. However, the City may waive the requirements of any such bond or letter of credit or may permit the Applicant to post a bond without surety thereon upon finding that the Applicant has financial stability and assets located in the state to satisfy any claims intended to be protected against the security required by this section. (f) The performance bond, letter of credit or other financial guarantee shall remain in force and effect at all times during the warranty period.

Sec. 11.20.100. Inspections.

A minimum of two inspections shall take place.

First, the City shall conduct an inspection at the start of Work. Second, the Permittee shall notify the City immediately after completion of Work operations. The City shall inspect the completed Work within twenty one (21) days of Permittee’s notification. Additional inspections may be required for complex or long duration Permits. For Work which does not involve material disturbance in the Rights of Way, the Director shall waive the final inspection.

Sec. 11.20.110. Public safety.

The Permittee shall maintain a safe Work area, free of safety hazards. The City may make any repair necessary to eliminate any safety hazards not performed as directed. Any such Work performed by the City shall be completed and billed to the Permittee. The Permittee shall pay all such charges within 30 days of the statement date. If the Permittee fails to pay such charges within the prescribed time period, the City may, in addition to taking other collection remedies, seek reimbursement through the warranty guarantee. The City shall not issue any further Permits of any kind to said Permittee, until all outstanding charges (except those outstanding charges that are honestly and reasonably disputed by the Permittee and being negotiated in good faith with the City) have been paid in full.

Sec. 11.20.120. Time of completion.

All Work covered by the Permit shall be completed by the date stated on the application. Permits shall be void if Work has not commenced six months after issuance, unless an extension has been granted by the Director. Performance bonds, letters of credit or other financial guarantees deposited as a performance/warranty guarantee for individual Permits will be returned after voiding of the Permit, with administrative and any other City costs deducted.

Sec. 11.20.130. Traffic control. (a) When it is necessary to obstruct traffic, including pedestrian and bike traffic, a traffic control plan shall be submitted to the City prior to start-

ing construction. No Permit will be issued until the plan is approved by the City. No Permittee shall block access to and from private property, block emergency vehicles, block access to fire hydrants, fire stations, fire escapes, water valves, underground vaults, valve housing Structures, or any other vital equipment unless the Permittee provides the City with written verification of written notice delivered to the Owner or occupant of the facility, equipment or property at least 48 hours in advance. If a street closing is desired, the Applicant will request the assistance and obtain the approval of the Director. It shall be the responsibility of the Permittee to notify and coordinate all Work in the Public Way with police, fire, ambulance, other government entities, and transit organizations. Permittee should make every effort to minimize impacts to pedestrian and bike traffic movement and, when necessary, provide pedestrian and bike detours that minimize impacts to pedestrian and bike movement. Safety of the traveling public is the most important item to be addressed in the traffic control plan, and the traffic control plan should note measures that are required for vehicular, pedestrian and bike safety and minimizing traffic conflicts among all modes of transportation. (b) When necessary for public safety, the Permittee shall employ flag persons whose duties shall be to control traffic around or through the construction site. The use of flag persons may be required by the Director. (c) Unless approved by the Director, the Permittee shall not impede rush hour traffic on arterial or collector streets during the morning or evening rush hours. (d) Traffic control devices, as defined in Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, must be used whenever it is necessary to close a traffic lane or sidewalk. Traffic control devices are to be supplied by the Permittee. If used at night, they must be reflectorized and must be illuminated or have barricade warning lights. (e) Oil flares or kerosene lanterns are not allowed as means of illumination. Nighttime Work area flood lighting shall not be allowed to spill out of the construction area in such a way as to disturb, annoy, or endanger the comfort, health or peace of others. (f) Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices or any successor publication thereto shall be used as a guide for all maintenance and construction signing. The Permittee shall illustrate on the Permit the warning and control devices proposed for use. At the direction of the Director, such warning and control devices shall be modified. (g) Maintenance and Construction Signing. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining all Work area signing and barricading during construction operations as well as any signs and barricades that are needed to protect roadway users and pedestrians during non-work hours. During non-work hours, all construction Work area signs that are not appropriate shall be removed, covered, or turned around so that they do not face traffic. Any deficiencies noted during non-work hours by the City shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor. For purposes of this section “immediately” means 30 minutes from verbal notification. If Contractor is not available or cannot be found, the City may make such corrections and the Contractor shall pay the actual costs plus a penalty of fifty percent (50%) of the amount thereof.

Sec. 11.20.140. General rights of way use and construction. (a) Right of Way Meetings. Permittee will make reasonable efforts to attend and participate in meetings of the City, of which the Permittee is made aware, regarding Rights of Way issues that may impact its Facilities, including, planning meetings to anticipate joint trenching and boring.

Whenever it is possible and reasonably practicable to joint trench or share bores or cuts, Permittee shall Work with other providers, licensees, Permittees, and franchisees so as to reduce so far as possible the number of Rights of Way cuts within the City and the amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic that is obstructed or impeded. (b) Minimal Interference. Work in the Rights of Way, on other public property, near public property, or on or near private property shall be done in a manner that causes the least interference with the rights and reasonable convenience of property owners and residents. Permittee’s Facilities shall be constructed and maintained in such manner as not to interfere with sewers, water pipes, or any other Infrastructure or property of the City, or with any other pipes, wires, Conduits, pedestals, Structures, or other Facilities that may have been laid in the Rights of Way by, or under, the City’s authority. The Permittee’s Facilities shall be located, erected and maintained so as not to endanger or interfere with the lives of Persons, or to interfere with new improvements the City may deem proper to make or to unnecessarily hinder or obstruct the free use of the Rights of Way or other public property, and shall not interfere with the travel and use of public places by the public during the construction, repair, operation or removal thereof, and shall not obstruct or impede traffic, except as approved under a traffic control plan or as provided under Section 11.20.230. (c) Underground Construction and Use of Poles.

(1) When required by general ordinances, resolutions, regulations or rules of the City, applicable state or federal law, or a franchise agreement between Permittee and the City, Permittee’s Facilities shall be placed underground at no cost to the City. Placing Facilities underground does not preclude the use of ground-mounted Appurtenances.

(2) Where all Facilities are installed underground at the time of Permittee’s construction, or when all such Facilities are subsequently placed underground, all Permittee Facilities that by their nature can function underground, shall also be

placed underground at no expense to the City, unless funding is generally available for such relocation to all users of the Rights of Way. Related equipment, such as pedestals, must be placed in accordance with the City’s applicable code requirements and rules. In areas where existing Facilities are aerial, the Permittee may install aerial Facilities.

(3) For above ground Facilities, the Permittee shall utilize existing poles and Conduit wherever possible and permissible.

(4) Should the City desire to place its own Facilities in trenches or bores opened by the Permittee, the Permittee shall cooperate with the City in any construction by the Permittee that involves trenching or boring, provided that the City has first notified the Permittee in some manner that it is interested in sharing the trenches or bores in the area where the Permittee’s construction is occurring. The Permittee shall allow the City to place its Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the City incurs any incremental increase in cost of the trenching and boring.

Should the City desire to install Facilities such as Ducts or Conduit for the possible use of other entities, then the Permittee shall allow the City/Town/ County to place these Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the City shares proportionally in the cost of trenching and boring.

The City and Permittee may enter into an agreement providing for the Permittee to construct and install City Facilities in trenches or bores opened by the Permittee, and any reimbursement to the Permittee for the cost of constructing and installing such City Facilities. The City shall be responsible for maintaining its respective Facilities buried in the Permittee’s trenches and bores under this paragraph. (d) Use of Conduits by the City. Unless otherwise restricted by tariff, the City may install or affix and maintain its own Facilities for City purposes in or upon any and all of Permittee’s Ducts, Conduits or equipment in the Rights of Way and other public places, at a charge to be negotiated between the parties, to the extent space therein or thereon is reasonably available, and pursuant to all applicable ordinances and codes. For the purposes of this subsection, “City purposes” includes, but is not limited to, the use of the Structures and installations for City fire, police, traffic, water, telephone, and/or signal systems. (e) Common Users.

(1) The Rights of Way have a finite capacity for containing Facilities. Therefore, whenever the City determines it is impracticable to permit construction of an underground Conduit system by any other entity which may at the time have authority to construct or maintain Conduits or Ducts in the Rights of Way, but excluding entities providing services in competition with Permittee, and unless otherwise prohibited by federal or state law or regulations, the City may require Permittee to afford to such entity the right to use Permittee’s Surplus Ducts or Conduits in common with Permittee, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agreement for use of Surplus Ducts or Conduits entered into by Permittee and the other entity. Nothing herein shall require Permittee to enter into an agreement with such entity if, in Permittee’s reasonable determination, such an agreement could compromise the integrity of the Permittee’s Facilities.

(2) All Facilities shall meet any applicable local, state, and federal clearance and other safety requirements, be adequately grounded and anchored, and meet the provisions of contracts executed between Permittee and the other common user. Permittee may, at its option, correct any attachment deficiencies and charge the common user for its costs. Each common user shall pay Permittee for any fines, fees, damages or other costs the common user’s attachments cause Permittee to incur. (f) Protection and damage prevention. In performing any Work in the Rights of Way, Permittee shall exercise reasonable care to protect City Facilities, City Infrastructure, or other property of the City in or near the excavation area.

Sec. 11.20.150. Joint planning and construction; coordination of excavations. (a) Excavations in City’s Rights of Way disrupt and interfere with the public use of City streets and can either damage the pavement and Landscaping or preclude future Landscaping or other installations in the Right of Way. The purpose of this Section is to reduce this disruption, interference and damage of the Right of Way by promoting and incentivizing better coordination among Permittees making excavations and the City. Better coordination will assist in minimizing the number of excavations being made wherever feasible, and will ensure the excavations in City Rights of Way are, to the maximum extent possible, combined and/or performed before, rather than after, the resurfacing of the streets by the City. (b) At the Director’s request, any Permittee owning, operating or installing Facilities in City Rights of Way, the Owner of any Facilities in City Rights of Way, or any Permittee or Owner providing water, sewer, gas, electric, broadband, communication, video or other utility services, shall meet and present with the Director the Permittee’s infrastructure master plan, which meetings shall not occur more frequently than quarterly. At such intervals, to the extent not already in possession of the City, Permittee or Owner shall submit documentation, in a form required by the Director, showing a location of the Permittee’s or Owner’s existing, currently proposed, and future to be proposed Facilities in the City Rights of Way. When requested by the City, such information shall be transmitted directly to an outside mapping entity accessible to the City that has established non-disclosure agreements with each Permittee or Owner to protect proprietary information to the satisfaction of the Permittee or Owner. Permittee or Owner shall discuss with the Director, its infrastructure master plan, and identify planned major excavation Work in the City. The Director may make his own record on a map, drawing or other documentation, of each Permittee’s or Owner’s planned major excavation

Work in the City; provided, however, that no such document prepared by the Director shall identify a particular entity, or the planned major excavation Work of that particular entity. Permittee or Owner shall meet with the Director to discuss its initial infrastructure master plan no later than sixty (60) days after submitting its first Permit application. Thereafter, each Permittee or Owner shall submit annually, on the first regular business day of January, a revised and updated infrastructure master plan. Such revised and updated plan shall be submitted in both hard copy and digital format.

As used in this subsection, the term “planned major excavation Work” refers to any future excavations planned by the Permittee or Owner when the infrastructure master plan or update is submitted that will affect any City Rights of Way for more than five (5) days, provided that the Permittee or Owner shall not be required to identify future major excavations planned to occur more than one (1) year after the date that the Permittee’s or Owner’s master plan or update is discussed. Between the quarterly meetings to discuss planned major excavation Work, Permittee or Owner shall use its best efforts to inform the Director of any substantial changes in the planned major excavation Work discussed at the quarterly meeting. (c) The Director shall review the infrastructure master plan and identify conflicts and opportunities for coordination of Excavations. Following receipt of the Permittee’s or Owner’s existing currently proposed, and future Major Work mapping information, the Director may electronically post the information in order that it can be reviewed by affected Owners and Permittees of such conflicts and opportunities to the extent necessary to maximize coordination of Excavation. Each Applicant for a Permit shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with planned City operations and each potentially affected Owner and Permittee to minimize disruption in the Rights of Way, regardless of whether such coordination was initiated by the Director. (d) The City may disclose information contained in a Permittee’s or Owner’s infrastructure master plan to any public or private entity planning on conducting Excavation activities in the Rights of Way only on a need-to-know basis in order to facilitate coordination among excavators and to avoid unnecessary Excavation in the Rights of Way. To the maximum extent permissible under the Colorado Open Records Act, as amended, the City shall not otherwise disclose to the public any information contained in mapping information submitted by a Permittee or Owner that is proprietary, trade secret or is otherwise protected from disclosure; provided, however that the City shall have no duty to decline to disclose any information that the Permittee or Owner has not identified on its face as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The City shall notify a Permittee or Owner of any request for inspection of public records that calls for disclosure of any infrastructure master plan on which any information has been identified as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The City shall consult with its legal counsel regarding any such request and shall inform the affected Permittee or Owner either that the City will refuse to disclose the protected information or, if there is no proper basis for such refusal, that the City intends to disclose the requested information unless ordered otherwise by a court.

The Director shall prepare a Repaving Plan showing the street resurfacing planned by the City. For purposes of this Section, the Repaving Plan shall include a landscaping or other right of way improvement plan. The Repaving Plan shall be revised and updated on an annual basis after meeting to discuss the Permittee’s or Owner’s and City Department’s master plans and updates.

The Director shall make the City’s/Town’s/County’s Repaving Plan available for public inspection.

In addition to any other form of communication, after determining the street resurfacing Work that is proposed for each year, the Director shall post a notice of the proposed Work on the City’s website or other designated electronic location, in order to provide notice of the proposed street resurfacing Work to all Permittees or Owners that have had a quarterly meeting with the Director, and those broadband providers that are identified on the list maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation pursuant to C.R.S. 39-5.5-109 (1)(b). (e) Prior to applying for a Permit, any Person planning to Excavate in the City’s Rights of Way shall review the City’s Repaving Plan on file with the Director and shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with the utility and street Work shown on such plans to minimize damage to, and avoid undue disruption and interference with the public use of such Rights of Way. Without such coordination, future Work within Repaved areas may be limited at the discretion of the Director, to prevent premature disturbance of newly paved surfaces. (f) In performing location of Facilities in the Public Rights of Way in preparation for construction under a Permit, Permittee shall compile all information obtained regarding its or any other Facilities in the Public Rights of Way related to a particular Permit, according to state utility locating rules and parameters, and shall make that information available to the City in a graphical and verified format acceptable to the Director. If the Permittee fails to provide the locate information requested by the City, the City may obtain this information and charge the Permittee the actual costs for obtaining the information. (g) Prior to undertaking any Work in the Rights of Way or related Landscaping, the City may notify all Permittees or Owners of the City Work to be performed. Upon such notification, all Permittees or Owners shall, within seven (7) days, locate their Facilities in the Rights of Way in which the Work will be performed, and provide documentation in a format acceptable to the Director of the Permittee’s or Owner’s Facilities in that Rights of Way. (h) Whenever a public entity excavator(s) and a private entity excavator(s) propose Major Work in the same block within a one-year period, the De-

partment shall condition Permits for such Work in a manner that maximizes coordination and minimizes the total period of construction. (i) When an Applicant seeks a Permit for an Excavation, an Applicant may, in the discretion of the Director, be required to circulate a description of the proposed Excavation to other Permittees and parties described in Section 11.20.160(e) above, to determine whether any Persons have construction requirements or opportunities for coordinating joint Excavations along the proposed route.

(1) The Persons notified should be provided with the Applicant’s proposed route plan, the target commencement date and the estimated completion date.

(2) Within ten (10) working days after the notification required by this subsection, any interested Person must notify the Applicant of their requirements so that the Applicant may incorporate these requirements, where reasonable, in its Permit application. The Applicant should summarize the responses it receives from other Persons in its Application.

(3) If the Applicant believes that it is not reasonably feasible to entertain the requests made by another Person(s) for conditions of joint Excavation, it should notify City and the other Person(s) within ten (10) working days from the date of receiving the requirements from the other Person(s) and provide reasons why it is considered not reasonable to do so. The parties are expected to endeavor to resolve any technical or commercial concerns among themselves, and the Applicant shall report the results of these efforts together with its application for a Permit.

Sec. 11.20.160. Construction of new streets. (a) Intent. The intent of this section is to provide for the construction of Infrastructure sufficient to allow broadband communications entities desiring to deploy Facilities in the future to do so by pulling the same through the Conduit and Appurtenances installed pursuant to this section and without additional Excavation within the Rights of Way. This section is intended to require those constructing public streets, including the City and Developers, to provide and install such Conduit and Appurtenances as may be necessary to accommodate future broadband needs within the Rights of Way without further Excavation. (b) Requirements—Adoption of Standards.

Whenever any new public street is constructed, whether by the City or other public entity as a public works project or by a Developer in conjunction with development, the following shall be required: (1) In all new local streets serving or abutting residential development, a minimum of four 2” Conduit with pull boxes on both sides of every street crossing/intersection with one pull-box centered mid-block between, or if installations are proposed in Rights of Way with block lengths linger than 700 feet, then at a minimum of 500’ feet intervals or less (and at every 90 degree turn) shall be installed by the party constructing the street.

of good balls and opportunities,” Brummett said. “You just need to finish when you get them.”

Six different Farmers found the back of the net in Wheat Ridge’s first three games with Brummett leading the way with her handful of tallies.

“Jess is a good target for us. She is able to turn and puts balls in to the back of the net,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got a handful of girls who can do that.”

Sophomore Taylor Watkins has already proven to be a scoring threat. The youngest daughter of the Farmers’ longtime coach scored goals in the 17th and 31st minutes of the first half on long driving shots just under the cross bar.

Taylor also had two of her corner kicks result in goals for the Farmers against the Lobos (1-2 record). The sophomore is taking advantage of finally playing for

her father after so many years being on the sideline.

“I came here in a car carrier. It’s crazy,” Taylor said. “I remember being a ball girl for eight years. I love playing here under the lights. I’ve waited so long for this.”

Taylor already has three goals and three assists on the season.

“It is a little weird talking about my own kid,” Coach Watkins said of Taylor. “I’m just excited for her. She has wanted to be out here since she could walk. To be able to

play with the girls, be apart of it and contribute to the group is a great feeling for her.”

Taylor admits the car rides home from games are a little different then they used to be when she was a spectator waiting her turn

to get on a high school pitch, but she is relishing every game.

“I love having my Dad on the sideline,” Taylor said.

“I’ve enjoyed having that relationship with him and getting finally able to (play for him) after 16 years.”

The shortened 10-game regular season will go by in a flash and the Farmers know that a slight miss-step might undo the great start to the season. Wheat Ridge toughest part of its conference schedule comes when it closes out the regular season against No. 3 D’Evelyn (June 7) and No. 1 Evergreen (June 9).

“Across our league there are a lot of good teams,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got to worry about one game at a time. Hopefully those ones at the end of the season mean something and we’re ready to play.”
