Morrison fine-tunes its main street safety plans

Project funded largely by state could enhance crosswalks and pedestrian safety while improving tra c

BY JANE REUTER

Morrison is a victim of its own popularity and is taking a multi-pronged approach to keeping its increasingly busy main street as safe as possible. It got one step closer to that goal during a June 5 community meeting on the Morrison Main Street Revitalization Project.

About 10,000 vehicles a day pass through downtown Morrison and double that in peak times. Police say recently installed speed cameras are one tool for slowing drivers and improving safety for residents and visitors. Making changes along Bear Creek Avenue is another, project team members said.   e project provides about $530,000 in Colorado Department of Transportation and town funds to design and build improved pedestrian crossings at the South Park Av-

enue, Mill Street, and Market Street intersections. e town also wants to remove a tra c light at South Park Avenue that planners say adds to congestion, and replace it with a more e cient pedestrian-activated ashing light. e project also proposed an entryway LED light for

event promotion.

Consultants said the challenges on Bear Creek Avenue are multi-layered, including con icts with pedestrians, cyclists, emergency response teams and delivery drivers, poor sig-

SAFETY

nage, a lack of parking and general confusion.

“We heard a lot through the process that people just do not know where to cross Bear Creek Avenue,” said town planner Carrie McCool. “And if the street closes, there’s absolutely no bypass, which is a big issue for emergency responders.”

While some residents decried the idea of spending project funds on raised crosswalks and an LED light, none objected to making crosswalks more visible or removing the

South Park Avenue tra c light.

Morrison resident Kathleen Ditcher said the LED light will only exacerbate Morrison’s current issues.

“It’s quite obvious that people are nding Morrison without this,” she said. “ at’s not our problem. It’s putting ve pounds of sugar in a 10-pound sack once they get here.”

Planning Commissioner Sharolyn Anderson agreed, adding the sign would disrupt Morrison’s night skies, and likely would not be allowed in the town’s historic district.

“I haven’t been in a town where an LED sign is nice,” she said. “For the last 400 years, we haven’t had (one) … we’re trying to reduce sig-

nage. We need to think about the long-term e ects of an LED light.”

Consultant Janine White of Toole Design said the project could also include removable barriers to slow tra c as needed and then moved for snow plowing and maintenance.

Planning Commissioner Maja Stefansdottir said she’s against that idea. During a town survey on the project, she said there wasn’t an option to cast a vote against such proposals.

“ ere wasn’t an option for ‘none of these,’” she said. “I’m not a fan of any raised crosswalks. I like the very brightly painted (crosswalks) so people see them clearly. I don’t want any barriers.

“I thought this was referred to as a beauti cation of the town. I see nothing. I think poles for plants to hang (would) make it pretty. Some of this stu does not look pretty to me, but I’m very opinionated.”

McCool said the raised medians have been removed from the project due to community feedback. e project team plans to add feedback from the June 5 meeting to the plan.

Construction would ideally begin in October, with completion by August 2025. at long timeline allows for work to stop during the summer when congestion is at its peak in Morrison.

Wouldn’t It Be Great if You Could Assume the Seller’s Low-Interest Loan? Maybe, if It’s a VA Loan

Most mortgage loans are not assumable, but VA loans are assumable when certain conditions are met. Here’s what I have learned about that.

There are many sellers who are veterans and obtained a VA loan on the home they are now selling. If they don’t need to regain their certificate of eligibility for a VA loan on their replacement home, they can sell their home to anyone — not just a veteran — and let that person assume their VA loan. For the seller to regain their eligibility for a VA loan on their replacement home, the buyer would have to be able to qualify for a VA loan as a veteran.

Wendy Renee, our in-house lender at Golden Real Estate, helped me learn the rules for assuming a VA loan.

Rocket Mortgage has an excellent website explaining those rules and is the source for the following. I’ll post a link to their webpage on our company blog, http://RealEstateToday.substack.com

The good news is that a buyer can assume a VA loan, even if they would not qualify for a VA loan for themselves. If the seller has a VA mortgage at, say, 2.75%, a buyer would get to take over that loan and make the same payments. Not bad, given today’s loan rates over 6 percent!

Conventional loans guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not

assumable. Sellers with a VA loan will want to take advantage of this crucial selling point over competing listings on the MLS. Every seller who has an existing VA loan should have his listing agent emphasize that fact in the MLS, pointing out its interest rate and that it’s assumable. However, if it’s important to the seller that he regain his entitlement to a VA loan for his replacement home, then it should be noted in the MLS that the seller will only allow an eligible veteran to assume the loan.

Hooray for that veteran, because a new VA loan would probably have an interest rate over 6%.

Although the buyer will not need to meet the military eligibility, he or she will need to meet the financial eligibility requirements of the lender. The lender, not the VA, must approve the assumption. If the lender approves your financial qualifications, you can proceed with the assumption. Note: Lenders are not required by the VA to allow assumption. Most lenders have a minimum FICO score to qualify for a loan. With Rocket Mortgage, that score is 580. Other lenders require a minimum score of 620.

VA loans don’t require a down payment, but in assuming a VA loan, you may be asked for a down payment. Considering that most homes for sale have plenty of equity due to the rise in home

Megan’s Insights on the June Real Estate Market

By MEGAN ALLER

First American Title

As we navigate the real estate market for the week of June 5th-12th, 2024, it is clear that the market continues to retract. Increased inventory and hesitant buyers have led to significant shifts in market dynamics. Now the key points:

Retraction persists as more inventory enters the market and pending transactions decline, leading to a higher months’ supply of inventory than usual for the second week of June.

The growing inventory and shrinking buyer pool have caused prices to fall slightly as we transition into summer.

Our average daily active listings have increased week over week, with inventory significantly higher compared to the same period last year.

New listings have shown an upward trend, and this activity is expected to continue growing until September. However, pending transactions have declined compared to the previous weekend.

The odds of selling have decreased

values, that’s not very likely.

VA loans require the payment of a funding fee, and that is true for the buyer who assumes a VA loan. That funding fee is 0.5% of the loan amount. As with the original borrower, that fee can be waived if the buyer is a disabled veteran or the spouse of a deceased veteran with a service-related disability.

Compensating for that 0.5% funding fee is the fact that you won’t have other fees, including paying for an appraisal.

A processing fee of $250 to $300 will be charged to the buyer in addition to the funding fee.

Note that the VA is not the lender The loan is merely guaranteed by the VA. The underwriting requirements may differ from lender to lender.

So, how do you find a home on which the seller has a VA loan? Unfortunately, that is a not a searchable field on the

MLS, even for us MLS members. However, if you find a home you want to buy, we can find that property on Realist, an app within the MLS, which tells what kind of loan, if any, was taken out by the seller. And, of course, we can ask the listing agent if that VA loan is still in place and what the current balance and interest rate is. Depending on the buyer’s cash reserves, it may be necessary to apply for a second mortgage.

When the loan is assumed, the seller needs to request a release of liability from the lender. Without that, the seller could be responsible for late payment fees or even default by the new borrower. Ask your lender in advance of agreeing to the assumption whether you will receive a release. If they won’t, that could or should be a deal breaker.

If you’d like help finding a home with a VA loan in place, call us (below).

compared to last week, trending historically below the average for June in previous years.

To balance the market with a 6-month supply of inventory, we would need a significantly higher number of total listings, indicating we are currently far from market equilibrium.

Showings last week were down slightly, with the average number of showings per property and the number of showings required to go under contract showing some fluctuations.

Price reductions were more prevalent this week, with a notable portion of units going under contract after reducing their price. The size of these reductions has remained consistent.

If you are wondering when to list your property this summer, it is advisable to list as soon as possible. Growing inventory and a diminishing buyer pool could lead to longer days on market and potential price reductions. Listing earlier in the summer may help achieve the best possible price for your home.

The sellers designed this 4,603-sq.-ft. home at 6714 Field St. in Arvada for entertaining and were the general contractor when building it in 1985. Spaces for entertaining abound both indoors and on the large wraparound deck, which was rebuilt with Trex two years ago. There's an indoor hot tub in its own room that is well ventilated to avoid moisture-related issues. Oak hardwood floors are on the main level, while the upstairs and the mostly finished basement have wall-to-wall carpeting. All bathrooms and the kitchen are tiled. There is not only a separate den on the main floor, but also a reading room and sewing room upstairs. This home is an early example of passive solar design for exploiting solar gain through thermal mass in the winter but staying cool in the summer. In addition to the solar thermal panels on the roof which provide hot water for the home, there are solar thermal panels built into the south wall of the living room to capture solar gain in the winter for dispersal inside the house after dark. The backyard includes a large garden area and a shed with electricity which has two compartments — a storage area with a concrete floor and a south-facing area with gravel floor and windows to capture solar gain for starting plants in the late winter. There is no HOA and there’s a gate on the north side of the house for parking an RV next to the garage.

Center for Arts opening doors on its expanded space

The Bergen Park building has nearly doubled in space

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Center for the Arts Evergreen is celebrating its nearly 6,000-square-foot expansion with a day of arts and entertainment from

10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 22.

e CAE broke ground on the addition to its Bergen Park art gallery in May 2023.

e center moved into the former church eight years ago, retro tting it to become an arts center. e expansion, described as complementary to the original structure yet contemporary, was added to the back of the building.

“We are doubling our space,” said

The Center for the Arts Evergreen celebrates the grand opening of its new addition June 22. COURTESY

EXPANSION

CAE senior director Sara Miller.

“When all is said and done, we’ll have close to 10,000 square feet.”

e two-story addition includes a state-of-the-art ceramics studio, private artists’ studios, a common artists area, classroom space, community space for up to 200 people, sta o ces and a studio for an artist-in-residence. It allows the CAE to bring home its pottery and ceramics studio, currently housed

near Buchanan Recreation Center.

“It was always the dream to create an extension to the building so we could bring the studio inhouse,” Miller said. “Not only is it our ceramics studio, but it’s also a community room where artists can come with an easel or table and create.”

rough the artist-in-residence program, artists from across the country will be invited to work at the center for three months at a time, teaching and sharing with the public while they’re here.

“It’s a way to expand the conversation around art, and expose Ev-

ergreen audiences to diverse ideas, and artists who are not just from Colorado and the West,” Miller said.

e ceramics studio will now include bronze pouring and a glass kiln. at will allow CAE to o er classes in jewelry making and fused glass, in addition to its regular schedule of classes.”

e CAE is grateful to its many donors who helped it reach its $2 million fundraising goal.

“ e community was incredibly generous with us and we received wonderful support from SCFD (Scienti c and Cultural Facilities District),” Miller said, adding that

grants and some income from class fees helped round out the budget.

Evergreen has a thriving artists community, and Miller said the CAE is excited to help support it further with its new space.

“We have a wonderful mix of career artists — who support themselves as artists — and second career artists — people who have moved here or retired, and are thriving as they learn new skills and become better artists,” she said. “It’s a nice mix of both.”

Foothills restaurant owner to host fundraiser for pothole repairs

Event aims to get around unresolved county dispute with a permanent fix

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Carolyn Autry has a pothole problem at her rural Morrison restaurant. She believes it’s the county’s responsibility to x the deep ruts near the entrance to Lynn’s Whistle Stop; the county feels otherwise.

Autry hopes customers and neighbors will step in to help and is hosting a

pothole repair fundraiser on June 29. If the “Corks & Kegs for a Cause” event can raise $16,800, Autry said she can permanently repair the rutted road edge.

“ e damage is so bad it’s eating up people’s cars,” said Autry, a Conifer resident who bought the former Bear Cub Co ee & Pub on South Turkey Creek Road late last year. “I’m showing surveys showing it’s county property. e county says it’s not their responsibility.”

Je erson County Road & Bridge says the potholes are part of the access area to the restaurant’s parking lot, so maintenance falls to the business owner, according to county Public A airs Director Cassie Pearce.

No matter who’s responsible, the timeline for repairing the problem is short. Autry’s focus is now on getting it resolved within the narrow summer construction window.

“In running two businesses, I don’t have time to ght the county,” said Autry, who also owns Lynn’s Tea Shop in Littleton. “All I know is I have a few short months to have this problem xed. I can only assume the two previous owners probably were trying to ght the county for it, too. And year by year, it keeps getting worse.”

Rather than patch the potholes, Autry has gotten quotes from asphalt companies to dig, regrade and repave the area — xing the issue once and for all. But the nearly $17,000 price tag is beyond her budget.

Instead, she’s hosting a party from 5-7 p.m. June 29. e evening includes a live band, hors d’oeuvres and tastings of new wines, beers and spirits that Lynn’s Whistle Stop plans to add to its menu. Tickets are $60.

“We’re introducing new wines and beers, and we want people to know what we’ve got,” she said. “We thought, why not do a fundraiser, and see if we can get people to help us get this done.”

Autry has other plans for her new business she hopes area residents will like. While it now serves co ee, pastries and sandwiches, she wants to add a full kitchen, eventually making it a breakfast destination restaurant.

“Our slogan is where meals and memories cross tracks,” she said. “I want people to be able to come here and have great memories. I want them to keep bringing families back, so we can watch kids grow up — all the good stu of a small-town place.

“ e community support for our business has just been great so far. I think people are really enjoying it.”

The owner of Lynn’s Whistle Stop near Conifer plans a fundraiser to help repair potholes near her restaurant.

America’s political divide

America is ideologically divided. Identity politics seems to be the order of the day with an intent to maintain the division or, at least, to minimize unity.  Labels identify opposing groups with these labels declared badges of honor for some or used as derogatory attacks by others.

Consider former President Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” which is abbreviated “MAGA.”  Trump supporters, and most of America, believe that the country is on the wrong track but they embrace the idea that America’s best days still lie ahead. President Biden, whose job approval rating is the lowest of any President in recent memory, regularly tries to make the term “MAGA Republicans” an insult. Similarly, Hillary Clinton called people who supported MAGA “deplorables”.

Perhaps the extreme di erences between Conservatives and Progressives are the root of the ideological divide. eir beliefs are starkly different.

Voting in every election is your duty as a member of a democracy. Please take the time to vote in this important primary.

Conservatives believe that the founding of our country, the rst to codify self-rule, was extraordinary through  our Constitution which provides protection from over-reaching government. ey believe in liberty, the ability to make one’s own choices with limited government interference and that merit is the basis for both individual and national economic success. Conservatives defend faith and families believing that these core values must be maintained for our nation to continue. Conservatives believe that defending our nation includes a strong military, adhering to the rule of law, and maintaining our national sovereignty. ey believe America is truly unique and capitalism is the best system for creating wealth and lifting many out of poverty. Contrast these ideas with the ob-

servable beliefs of modern-day Progressives. Progressives believe the founding of America was fundamentally awed and the Constitution limits the power of government. (Of course, thats the purpose of the Constitution).   ey believe a utopian society can be created if government is allowed to solve all of life’s daily problems, merit is of little concern, and wealth should be redistributed so everyone can have equal outcomes. Progressives believe in moral relativism. ey seek to undermine the traditional family, as evidenced by their support of men competing in women’s sports and gender reassignment for children. National sovereignty means very little to them, as evidenced by their open borders which are allowing millions of non-citizens to have access to the welfare state. ey are committed to making government the primary guiding force in American society.  With no moral absolute to which people adhere, there is a tolerance for ideas which are the antithesis of Conservative positions.

We are approaching the 2024 election with domestic and international issues that should be of concern to all Americans. Federal spending and the U.S. de cit are at their highest ever. ere are countless laws that make too many spending categories “mandatory”. Our country is of two minds and it will require great care and diplomacy to create the positive future we all want.

Northglenn Youth Theatre has been ‘feeding the souls’ of young performers for 30 years

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Slight and bespectacled, 14-year-old Lilly Sergeef is eyeing Broadway. She is a veteran actor and has been in commercials for insurance companies and Village Inn since age 6.

But she is especially drawn to the stage, where she has never felt intimidated by the audience or other performers.

“Broadway is my goal,” ornton resident Sergeef said. “Being before an audience is never something I dread … it’s something I grew up on.”

A determined Vienna Frey also sees acting on Broadway in her future. e Broom eld resident said her parents are performers and she began acting when she 6. She’s starred in several plays and musicals including “Percy Jackson and Lightning ief” and “Shrek Junior.” Frey savors always diving into the characters she played.

“I just enjoy playing other people and getting into their stories,” said the 14-year-old Frey.

Both are veteran performers at Northglenn Youth eatre, which has been tutoring, supporting and ushering actors as young as 8 onto the local stage. Over 1,000 young performers have inhabited roles at Northglenn Youth eatre — or the NYT as the locals call it.

is year, NYT is celebrating its 30th anniversary, a testament to the wide-ranging support the theater has enjoyed even as cultural programs at local schools have scaled back their performances, said Kimberly Jongejan, Northglenn’s Cultural Programs Direc-

tor and the NYT director.

“Funding for arts programs is not always solid, especially in elementary and middle schools,” Jongejan said.

Most of NYT’s students come from communities outside of Northglenn because there is a dearth of theater programs in the north metro area, she added.

Northglenn o cials, meanwhile, have long supported the arts and the NYT, said Jongejan, who was hired in 1996 to help lead the arts program in Northglenn.

“It’s aways been this way,” she said. “ e city has always seen its arts and culture as a growing and thriving part of Northglenn.”

For example, Northglenn is the only city to include a state-of-the art performing arts space — the Parsons eatre — as part of its new recreation center, Jongejan said. e entire theater and recreation complex opened in 2021.

e Northglenn Arts & Humanities Foundation — NAHF — provides funding for the NYT as well as for public art and other cultural ventures in Northglenn, according to the city. Other sponsors include Colorado Creative Industries, Scienti c & Cultural District, Tour West, WESTAF and the National Endowment for the Arts, the city states.

Jongejan said the NYT has sent some of its graduates to Broadway and O -Broadway. Mostly, NYT students become teachers and perform at dinner theaters and other community productions.

Above all, NYT serves a higher purpose of stoking the dreams of young performers, she said, adding, “We feed kids’ souls.”

NYT Academy classes range from $25-$120 depending on duration and whether a participant is a resident of Northglenn or not, she said.

Each year, NYT puts on six productions performed at the Parsons eatre, three productions for 12- to 18-year-old performers and three for the NYT Jr., program, which include eight to 12 performers. ey are tutored by professional actors on a tight schedule that calls for auditions on Monday, rehearsals during the rest of the week and performances usually over two nights.

Productions this year include “Sister Act,” “Cinderella and e Fairy Godmother’s Spell,” “ e Brothers Grimm Spectacular” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

e NYT Academy also o ers acting basics for young performers through drama activities, scenes, songs and visual arts. One dance class is Broadway Basics, which offers kids ages 9-12 “ball change kicks, jazz squares and more while dancing to the tunes of Broadway’s best ballads,” according to the course description. e cost of that class is $38-$46.

Jongejan said registration fees for NYT Jr. productions are $200; NYT productions are $250.

acting. He is starring as the main character in “Shrek Jr. e Musical,” which is running from June 28-30.

Scholarships are needs-based and are awarded via an application process. ese scholarship awards range from 50% to 100% of fees being covered through the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation, Jongejan said.

NYT’s more advanced classes teach how to manipulate an actor’s voice and body to create a memorable character, a “Fosse Posse” focuses on dancing for actors and a tap dance also teaches the basic steps and combination used in musical theater, according to the course guide.

Jongejan said the NYT is also offering a screenwriting course for Hip-Hop theatre. Students can also take technical theatre workshops for a glance at the behind-the-scenes production process, Jongejan said.

“We want our students to get a good, well-rounded look at what goes into a theater production and how important stage development, lighting and other behind-thescenes work is so important,” she said.

For 13-year-old Ian Amaro, character development is key to his

“I like to write notes down for my character and get the back story,” he said. “I think that makes acting much more e ective.”

Amaro, who lives in ornton, admits acting isn’t really what drew him to NYT.

“School can be rough for some people,” Amaro said, adding his stutter is sometimes an obstacle.

“I needed friends badly, then NYT popped up for me and the light bulb in my head went o .”

So far, Amaro has not bumped up against any diva behavior among his cast mates.

“ e people are absolutely fantastic,” he said. “Everyone has been so helpful.”

irteen-year-old Aksel Gangji’s two sisters gave him a nudge toward acting and NYT where he started performing in 2019. He still su ers from some stage fright but powers through it with the help of his castmates. Gangji attends Rocky Top Middle School in ornton.

ey often cross their arms together and then say “Break a leg” before a performance, Gangji said. Actors also pass around a “Kudos” coin before they go on stage and tell each

other something positive about their work.

“Usually by then, you are saying ‘Oh great, I am going to perform,’” Gangji said.

He is also considering pursuing a career as a stage technician. “Sound, costumes, it’s what brings it all together,” Gangji said. “You can’t see the actors without the lights.”

Performing is a tradition in 14-year-old JJ Witmer’s family. His mom toured internationally with Up With People and he took his rst role as an actor at 6 as Tiny Tim in a high school production.

“It was really fun,” he said. He attends Riverdale Ridge High School in ornton.

He enrolled at NYT in 2018 and has acted in several productions including “Peter Pan” and “ e Little Mermaid.”

He’s learned to act with an English accent to play Hamlet and dyed his hair for another role.

“I like getting into a role and becoming more of that character,” Witmer said.

After “Hamlet” ended, he remembers talking with an English accent for two weeks.

“It just happened,” he said. “ at’s what you do when you get into a role.”

Sun Jr., a ‘psych mountain rock’ experience at the Mile High Hoedown

BY JO ANN M. COLTON

If you yearn to fly back to the sounds of yesteryear, you will love soaring to new heights with Boulder’s own Sun Jr, appearing at the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN later this month! The band’s sound is a blend of psychedelia, cosmic cowboy and Americana with indie-folk influences.

Friends Nod Norkus (drums), Jim Heekin (guitar/singer), Matt Kubis (banjo/singer), Jon Schimek (pedal steel guitar), and Jeremiah Streets (keys/ bass/organ) launched the band in 2013. They practiced in the evenings in Jim’s basement (“The Bottoms”), where they have become a “band of brothers.”

Sun Jr. hit the stage with a style all their own and immediately made an impression. From a spot on the “Gentleman of the Road” tour in Salida with Mumford & Sons, Dawes and the Flaming Lips in 2015, they’ve grinded their way into a stellar act that you cannot miss.

During the 2020 COVID pandemic, the band leaned heavily into long basement jams, taking notes from the likes of Pink Floyd and late ’60s bands that played for art’s sake. They branched into livestreaming to reach out to more folks and have continued to do so.

“In February 2024, (Heekin) posted a TikTok video of our song ‘Buttercorn’ from a live performance at Dharma Farm

— and it went viral,” Norkus said. “The post garnered 2.3 million views and about 40,000 new fans.”

The post was the mega break that has opened more doors to some of Colorado’s best venues and a “second media wave” of the post expanded their reach even farther, he said.

“We started receiving invitations to play in California, Texas, and points beyond the U.S.,” Norkus said.

The band’s current goal is

mostly to ignore national invites and build an ardent local fan base. To stay connected, they are partnering with Chris Wright of Violet Recording to capture their Colorado live shows to share more broadly. Wright will also engineer a series of in-studio live recordings, possibly capturing two albums from this dual recording process.

Visit sunjrband.com for the latest band information (recordings, play dates — and more)! Then, “go down” to the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN and enjoy Sun Jr.’s “Psych Mountain Rock” ex-

perience LIVE at the Stampede, 2431 S. Havana Street, in Aurora.

MILE HIGH HOEDOWN attendees can enjoy food truck food and beverages, learn new line dances with instructor/choreographer Laurie Burkardt, “creative cut” or screen print their own T-shirt with Ink & Drink, purchase a custom hat from hat shaper Parker Thomas, get a “flash” tattoo from Ace of MR. ACE Art & Tattoos; and visit Little People Face Painting for cool, but not permanent, body/ face/hair art — you’ll be sure to sparkle during Sun Jr.’s LIVE, never-to-be-duplicated hoedown performance!

Get the “low down” on the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN, which is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, June 29, by heading to coloradocommunitymedia.com/ mile-high-hoedown. And GET A MOVE ON, partners!

Morrison hires Golden native as new town manager

Former Grand County, Utah administrator

set to start July 1

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Golden native who most recently worked as Grand County, Utah’s administrator will be Morrison’s new town manager. Mallory Nassau starts with the town July 1. Morrison’s town board approved her hiring during a special June 12 meeting. Nassau’s starting salary is

$135,000.

She replaces former longtime Morrison town manager Kara Winters, wholeft with no warning earlier this year.

Nassau has served as administrator in Grand County — which is headquartered in Moab — since 2017 and has witnessed the impacts of growth and development.

“I’m excited for that fresh start, but there are de nitely perspectives and experiences I will be bringing from Moab,” she said.

Morrison is also facing development pressure. After hearings on the controversial Red Hotel earlier this year, its town board called athree-

•

month development moratorium so it could resolve con icting zoning regulations.

Nassau has recently witnessed the debate around Grand County, Utah’s controversialKane Creek development, a project based on a 1992 rezoning planned along the Colorado River.

“I’ve de nitely seen what can hap-

pen with loose planning,” she said.

“I think I can take something good from what I’ve seen, and that will help me going into Morrison.”

Morrison Mayor Chris Wolfe, who participated in the town manager candidate interviews, said Nassau was a standout.

“We had very good candidates, but she outshone everybody,” he said.

“We also had our department heads interview the candidates. She was their top choice and the board’s top choice. She answered every question professionally, thoughtfully and with concern. She was modest yet

Mallory Nassau

bold, and she had done a lot of research. I believe she’s ready to take action.”

Nassau grew up on Green Mountain, attending Golden High School and the University of Colorado Boulder. She earned a master’s degree in criminal justice from the University

of Colorado Denver.

She has long wanted to return to Colorado, where most of her family still lives.

“And then this opportunity came along,” she said. “From my rst interview, I felt very natural with everyone. I’d like to think it was meant to be.

“I think it’s an exciting time for proactive planning,” she continued.

“Right now, I just want to get in there and give everybody some peace of

mind. I plan to get to work on the things that might be low-hanging fruit while also getting to know everybody; then we can kick o the budget.”

While Nassau is already familiar with Morrison, she said her interviews with the town’s department leaders were particularly compelling.

“Obviously Morrison is a beautiful place,” she said. “But what I enjoyed most was my second round of inter-

views with the department heads. More than anything, you could tell they respect one another. You can pick up on it when people have that sincere, genuine team approach. I would like to be part of that team.”

Former manager Winters walked out of a February board meeting after a contentious discussion about proposed employee compensation increases and did not return to her job.   e boardapproved a severance agreement with Winters in March.

The summer camp is intended to sharpen baseball skills and provide training to create much-needed umpires in the mountains

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At least 30 young baseball players teamed up with umpires in training to work skills on both sides of the game under the direction of Coach Phil Mauro from the Clear Creek School District.

Young players and umpires in training filled the two baseball fields at Bergen Meadow Elementary School in Evergreen June 12 to sharpen skills of hitting, fielding and pitching while another group of kids were there to learn how to call strikes, outs and safes.

Clear Creek physical education instructor Mauro kept a close eye on his players and umpires shouting to his umpires about communication with other umpires on the field, “Hey, how many outs are there now?” He asked the firstbase ump. “OK, communicate/ signal that with your umpire at the plate.”

The camp organized by Mauro is meant to teach basic umpire skills to kids, many of whom will start 7th grade next school year, some of whom will be attending Clear Creek Middle/High School in Evergreen this August.

“Remember, keep your eye level at the top of the ball,” Mauro encouraged.

Lukas Petersburg and Tyler Randall from Evergreen are both entering the 7th grade in August, but for today they are calling the plays as umpires in training.

It’s a profession that Mauro sees

SPORTS

Baseball and umpire camp in Clear Creek County teaches young players skills and attitude

as a critical need, especially in the mountains.

“It’s hard to get umps here from down the hill. We have to pay them more and if we could have a stable of umpires up here working the games it just makes everything better,” Mauro said.

He said kids in his class can understand how to become a paid

umpire with the right knowledge and attitude.

“You learn how to talk to coaches, you learn how to talk to parents and how to address the kids, it’s a way for them to grow up, it’s a way for them to learn a skill,” he said.

Mauro said that being a paid, professional umpire while in middle school is tough, but if they have

that self-confidence and know how to deal with situations the right way, there’s no reason these kids can’t be effective on the field.

“Sometimes a parent isn’t going to agree with your call and they’ll say something under their breath,” Mauro said. “Once they start getting personal, that’s when you need to act. They can’t let a coach or parent walk out and swear at them.”

Ejecting a coach or player is the last resort, but one that’s available to umpires.

“Unfortunately, in baseball, that’s part of the game and they might have to eject somebody and I teach them that’s a tool they can use, but only use it when you need it,” he said.

Mauro said he plans to hold several other upcoming training camps this year, possibly another umpire training class this summer.

The most important lesson he hopes his umpires come away from the class with is “sportsmanship,” which he said solves almost every problem.

Information on upcoming classes can be found at https://www. evergreensportsofficials.com/

Consumer Groups, Patients, & Providers Applaud Colorado Legislators for Holding Big

PhRMA Accountable, Protecting State’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board

AARP Colorado, along with a broad coalition of consumer groups, patients, and medical providers celebrated the end of the 2024 legislative session after fending off coordinated efforts by drug manufacturers to undermine the Colorado Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB), the state’s only tool to reign in out-ofcontrol drug costs. As a rare cancer patient currently in remission, I’m deeply grateful for the broad coalition that fought to ensure that the voices of patients were heard.

The Colorado State Senate stood alongside advocates to defeat SB24-060, which sought to prevent the PDAB from reviewing the costs of, and setting limits on, hundreds of the most high-cost and commonly-prescribed prescription medications. In fact, it would have exempted 67% (more than 400 medications) of the approximately 600 drugs eligible for review by Colorado’s PDAB because they have some form of orphan drug designation – including many of the most expensive and most commonly prescribed medications in the state. The bill was part of a national strategy being pushed by pharmaceutical companies

to make it impossible for PDABs across the country to bring down the cost of prescription medications. Lawmakers laid the bill over indefinitely on April 15th, sending a strong message: Colorado refuses to let the pharmaceutical industry continue to put profits over patients, especially as the PDAB is just beginning its critical work. In addition, 115 medical professionals across Colorado released a letter opposing Senate Bill 60.

Big PhRMA continues to use the defeat of SB24-060 and the ongoing work of the PDAB to stoke fear in patients of rare diseases. Unfortunately, these very patients are among the most harmed by out-of-control drug costs and deserve access to affordable, lifesaving drugs through Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board. To ensure these critical voices are front and center, SB24203 “Prescription Drug Board Consider Rare Disease Council’’ legislation was introduced on April 8th by Senators Ginal and Kirkmeyer, and Representatives Harstook and Ortiz. The legislation passed with strong bipartisan support and will ensure greater

stakeholder engagement from the rare disease community in the work of Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board without exempting any medications.

We thank the lawmakers who championed these efforts and refused to let Big PhRMA play games with Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board. This work is more important than ever, with 1-in-3 Coloradans struggling to afford the medications they need to stay healthy. AARP has a vested interest in ensuring drug prices are affordable for all. Over 80% of adults over 50 take at least one prescription medication regularly, with many older adults skipping or stretching their life-saving medication because of the high cost. Older Coloradans are the highest utilizers of prescription drugs in the state and many of our own members have expressed their frustration and concerns with rising health care costs. Adults 65 and older tend to spend the most on health care; and skyrocketing drug prices are driving up health care costs for all. This economic pressure piles on top of the emotional, physical, and psychological toll that patients

face on an almost daily basis. The Colorado Legislature created the PDAB with the passage of SB 21-175. Since 2023, the PDAB has reviewed three medications, and determined one of those medications, Enbrel, to be unaffordable for Coloradans. The PDAB is slated to complete affordability reviews on two additional medications in June.
