Arapahoe County sounds budget cuts alarm

A tax hike could help avert cuts to essential services

BY ISABEL GUZMAN

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Arapahoe County’s annual State of the County address had two elements. On one hand, leaders cel-

ebrated the various services the county government provides to residents. On the other hand, leaders said some of those services are imperiled.

e reason: a budget shortfall, worsened, in part, by the drying-up American Rescue Plan Act funds that were issued amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Arapahoe County is seeking resi-

dents’ input on reducing or eliminating some services. Budgets across the country could be affected, including public works, the sheri ’s o ce, public health and a ordable housing.

Speci cally, the potential cuts could include up to $12 million less for the sheri ’s o ce, impacting

Group applauds law amending end-of-life medical aid

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gov. Jared Polis has signed a bill that aims to make Colorado’s End-of-Life Options Act accessible to more people with terminal illnesses.

Senate Bill 24-068 waives mandatory minimum waiting periods for patients likely to die within 48 hours of requesting medical aid to end their lives.

Gina Gentry, campaign manager for Compassion and Choices, an advocacy group for the cause, called the passage of the bill a “huge success.”  “ e reduction of time between the rst and second oral requests from 15 days to seven days is crucial for dying people who don’t have the time to wait to access the compassionate endof-life care option they are entitled to,” Gentry said.

e bill amends the End-of-Life Options Act, passed in 2016. e act allows terminally ill individuals in

Mail ballots sent for June 25 primary

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe County con rmed on June 3 that it had begun mailing ballots to voters ahead of the June 25 primary elections.

e county also said that 24-hour ballot drop boxes have opened.  e county said voters should be patient about their mail ballots. It is possible ballots may take more time to arrive in certain areas.

“If a voter does not receive their mail ballot after June 10, election o cials ask that they rst go to www.GoVoteColorado.gov to verify that their address is accurate in their registration le,” the county said in a press release.

If that fails, then the county encourages voters to visit the Voter Services O ce in the Arapahoe County Administration Building to receive a replacement ballot. e building is located at 5334 S. Prince St. in Littleton.

“All ballots must be returned to a drop box or vote center no later than 7 p.m. on June 25,” the county

said. “Voters may also vote in person at a vote center up to 7 p.m. on June 25.”

Additionally, the county said una liated voters who receive a Democratic and Republican ballot may only vote one of those ballots because “by law, Arapahoe County cannot accept ballots if both parties’ voted ballots are returned.”

Voters in County Commissioners’ District 5 will choose between progressive advocate Hashim Coates and state Sen. Rhonda Fields of Aurora in the Democratic primary. e seat is currently held by Commissioner Bill Holen, who is term-limited, as the Centennial Citizen reported. e winner of the District 5 primary race will go on to the General Election ballot in November, which will feature three county commissioner races in all.

All Arapahoe County voters who have relocated or legally changed their name since the last time they voted should visit GoVoteColorado.gov and verify that their registration is up to date.

Readers Haven’t Come Up With Solutions to the Home Insurance Crisis, Just Lots of Horror Stories

My May 16 column, “A Full-Blown Home Insurance Crisis Is Brewing,” invited readers to share their personal experiences and also any suggestions they had for solving the crisis, which is getting worse by the minute.

There has been some good national coverage of the subject in the press and on television news programs. The bottom line is that even places like Colorado which don’t experience as many disasters as the two coasts and “tornado alley” are subject to increases in insurance premiums due to payouts elsewhere.

er more foothills areas than they do areas in the plains. Those two ZIP codes encompass 184 square miles — bigger than the 64 Zip codes in Denver, including the airport’s 54 square miles!

According to economist Elliot Eisenberg, “In 2013 and 2014, the number of weather/climate disasters exceeding $1 billion inflation-adjusted was 10. In 2017, the number hit 19, in 2020 it was 22, and… the number reached a record 28 in 2023. The years 2020-2023 have been four of the worst five years, with 2017 also in the top five.”

A May 13, 2024, article in the New York Times detailed the increasing losses by insurers in all 50 states. That included Colorado, where insurers have lost money is all but three years since 2013. The article quoted Dave Jones of the Climate Risk Initiative at UC Berkeley as saying, “I believe we’re marching toward an uninsurable future.” I have posted a link to that Times article at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com.

There’s a local problem which we’ve seen here in Golden, where our two main ZIP codes (80401 and 80403) cov-

Some insurance companies are withdrawing not just from individual communities with serious wildfire risk, but from complete ZIP codes containing areas with elevated wildfire risk.

If your home has a mortgage, your lender typically requires insurance, but when there is no mortgage, homeowners can choose not to have insurance, and a growing number of such homeowners are going without coverage — 14 percent according to a March 2024 report from the Consumer Federation of America.

Similarly, if you don’t have a loan on your automobile, you can choose not to have collision, comprehensive or theft insurance on your car, and I’m among those who are taking that risk because of the high cost of those coverages. An article on Forbes.com last week reported that 25% of car owners don’t have collision insurance.

HOAs are being hit especially hard when it comes to master policies. Reader KC Harney wrote me about an HOA in Parker which, following a May 2023 hail claim, raised the premium from $178,000 per year with a $2 million deductible to $337,000 per year with a $4 million deductible. This resulted in a special assessment of $12,000 per HOA member. It should be noted, KC told

Rules for Buyer Agent Agreements Badly Flawed

Last week the National Association of Realtors (NAR) fleshed out the rules it will enforce regarding the written agreement which a buyer and agent must sign before a buyer can be shown a listing.

On the one hand, NAR says it’s important for the buyer agreement to stress that agent commissions are negotiable, but on the other hand it says that the agreement signed by buyer and agent must spell out a fee/commission that cannot be increased by any source.

In other words, I’m required to have a buyer sign an agreement that they will pay me an acceptable ultimate fee for my efforts on their behalf. But if I agree, say, to a 1% or 2% commission agreement and I help them buy a house from a seller will-

me, that the May 2023 event cost only $1.9 million to repair, which was less than the $2 million deductible, so the insurance company paid out nothing, yet they raised the premium and the deductible because there was a claim!

Broker associate Chuck Brown told me how insurance costs nearly killed a transaction of his in Evergreen. The buyer was turned down by just about every major insurance carrier before obtaining a policy from Farmers Insurance for $9,000 per year with a $35,000 deductible for fire and hail. The next lowest offer was a $19,000 premium from Highlight.

Colorado Law Passed in 2023 Is

But a Limited Solution to Problem

Last May, Governor Polis signed into law HB23-1288, the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements Plan, commonly known as the FAIR Plan. The 9member board of the Plan is still setting up shop and won’t issue insurance policies until early 2025. In essence, the FAIR Plan is an insurer of last resort for homeowners and businesses who cannot get coverage from any insurer operating in Colorado.

Every insurer in Colorado must participate in the Plan. The concept is that all Colorado insurance carriers share the expenses, income and losses, ensuring a fair distribution of costs.

The policies issued under the FAIR

Price

ing to pay me a much higher co-op commission (because they want their home to sell quickly), I can only accept from the seller the amount in my buyer agreement.

This is madness! What it will do is drive buyers to work only with listing agents, which is not good public policy. Every buyer deserves to have an agent working on his or her behalf.

What’s also being overlooked throughout this months-long discussion of the NAR settlement is that most buyers are hard pressed to come up with their down payment, so how can you expect them to pay thousands in additional dollars for professional representation? They will not get the representation they deserve by working only with the agents representing sellers.

That is why the old system of sellers paying a commission which the listing agent can share with a buyer’s agent is the only and best way of serving both buyers and sellers — but that ship has sailed, unfortunately. It will be interesting to see the chaos resulting from these new rules.

Plan are not subsidized. The premiums are required to be “actuarially sound.” Coverage is limited to $750,000 for homes and $1 million for businesses, which will result in under-insurance for many clients, so it’s not a perfect fix and doesn’t promise seriously lower insurance rates. It only guarantees that homeowners and businesses will be able to obtain insurance.

I’m troubled by the Plan’s requirement that a homeowner or business be unable to obtain insurance. The homeowners and HOA mentioned above were not denied insurance, just overcharged, so they wouldn’t be eligible.

Activists criticize Englewood Schools’ comment policy

Anderson, Holmes sit with mouths taped shut at meeting

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In protest to recent changes the Englewood Board of Education made to its public comment policy, Auon’tai Anderson wore duct tape on his mouth and silently listened during the board’s June 4 meeting.

“It’s very evident the board of education changed the public comment policy in retaliation to community members from Black organizations that spoke out against the treatment of Black students, educators and school board members included,” Anderson, former Denver Board of Education, told the Englewood Herald after the meeting.

In recent months, the district has pushed back against Anderson’s claims that it is falling short in equity and inclusion e orts.

Anderson, the CEO of the Center for Advancing Black Excellence in Education was joined by MiDian Holmes, Education and Epitome of Black Excellence & Partnership CEO in the June 4 protest. She also wore duct tape on her mouth.

e protest comes after Englewood school board members made a unanimous vote in May to change the board’s public comment policy to allow only those with connections to the district to speak during public comment sessions at meetings. Anderson and Holmes spoke at that meeting just before the change was made, raising concern about the treatment of Black students, employees and board members in the district.

“ e following persons are eligible to address the board at a public meeting: residents of the district, or prop-

erty owners of the district; parents or guardians of students currently enrolled in the district; current and former students of the district; current district sta members; and individuals invited by the Board President or Superintendent to address the board on a designated topic,” the new policy reads.

Attorney Steve Zansberg, president of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said Colorado Open Meetings Law has no requirement for public comment at meetings of school boards.

“Only that the public be allowed to attend and observe,” Zansberg said. “So, this issue comes down to strictly a matter of school district policy.”

Je Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said the law is silent on public comment policy, but o ered a di erent point regarding certain policy enforcements.

“Once a school board or another type of public body decides to o er public comment, they cannot treat speakers in a discriminatory or viewpoint-restricted

from a news outlet regarding the press conference out front,” Polzin said. “ e district has not received any notice of a lawsuit led by these individuals or their companies and we cannot comment on threatened or pending litigation.”  at press release states:

“ e Green Book Initiative is an empowering tool for Black families and communities with essential insights into the safety and inclusivity of schools and governance teams. is initiative meticulously evaluates school districts to ensure that Black students are placed in environments that not only recognize and celebrate their identity but also actively support and help curate their growth and development.”

ing.”

He added that school boards can make “reasonable rules such as limiting the time per speaker and removing a speaker who causes a disturbance.”

Additionally, he said that it is questionable whether a non-resident could successfully challenge the board’s new policy.

Anderson and Holmes said they plan to continue to come to Englewood school board meetings until its policy is reversed.

Anderson was elected to the Denver Public Schools board in 2019 and served until 2023. His board colleagues voted to censure him in 2021 after an investigation into allegations of misconduct found that he engaged in irtatious messaging with DPS students and allegedly intimidated witnesses in that investigation through social media.

Anderson and Holmes initially addressed the Englewood board during April and May meetings, objecting to a travel reimburse-

ment denial for school board member Davon Williams in March. ey also presented glewood board’s diversity and inclusion e orts for the Black community, an initiative they call the Green Book Initiative.

In early May, they presented the board with an “exodus rating,” the lowest on their rubric, stating that they’ve been in contact with over 80 Black families in and around the district, encouraging them not to enroll or reenroll unless the board improves.

During the meeting, Superintendent Joanna Polzin referenced a news release sent out Tuesday by Anderson and Holmes just prior to the June 4 meeting.

It announced that Anderson and Holmes’ organizations retained “former Denver District Attorney candidate Lisi Owen to provide legal advisement and take decisive legal action in support of the Green Book Initiative and other complementary strategies.”

“ e district was not aware of the press release that was issued (June 4) by two individuals until we were forwarded the information

e initiative received criticism from several people, including Englewood Schools Director of Opportunity, Access and Inclusion Rana Razzaque.

Razzaque said during a May meeting that in correspondence she saw between the district and the Green Book Initiative there weren’t any “methodologies, theories or research-based frameworks” used to create the resource, so she couldn’t speak to those elements directly.

“I think, to me, the most glaring thing is there was no mention of student voice or student experience or empowerment in that rubric, which isn’t only one of my guiding tenets, but it’s also a research-based indicator of equity and belonging in educational environments” Razzaque said.

Additionally, Razzaque said while the rubric, which is divided into eight categories rated on a 1-5 scale, is “beautiful and aspirational,” there doesn’t seem to be evidence to suggest the evaluation is “constructive and actionable, like an actual rubric or an equity audit might be.”

Auon’tai Anderson, CEO of the Center for Advancing Black Excellence in Education and Epitome of Black Excellence & Partnership CEO MiDian Holmes sit in silence with duct tape on their mouths at a Englewood Board of Education meeting June 4. The two said they were demonstrating a protest of recent changes the board made to its public comment policy which now limits public comments to individuals connected to the district.

Meet third-generation hat shaper Parker Thomas at the Mile High Hoedown

BY JO ANN M. COLTON

Colorado-born Parker omas Orms always envisioned himself growing up and tackling life head-on as an athlete on a sports eld. So, how did he wind up being a hat shaper and owner of Hats By Parker omas? e answer is… fate! Parker’s father Glenn has been a hat shaper all his life following the tradition set by his own father. Parker’s grandpa Dewey started shaping hats 65 years ago in Texas — and did so until his death in 2022.

Parker inherited his passion for playing sports from his mom and her family. His mother Katherine lettered in softball at Northern Colorado in the 1970s.

Parker omas Orms attended Colorado University Boulder (20102013) on a football scholarship and played defensive back for the Colorado Bu aloes football team. He was an engaging presence on the eld and a fan favorite. Parker was on the path to joining the NFL although football-related injuries (shoulder and hamstring injuries and a torn ACL for which he had to undergo surgery) likely ended that pursuit.

In 2015, Parker traveled to Milan to play semi-pro football as a Free Safety Punt Return Man for the Milano Rhinos, Italy’s professional league. But after playing his last football season in Europe, Parker omas came home to his family and the family traditions that are tightly woven into the fabric of his being. So, it wasn’t just a “hat” trick that led him to become a hat shaper and Parker’s success is proving to be far more rewarding than he could ever have imagined.

“I worked with my father and grandfather for eight years. Traveling around di erent rodeos and western-themed events, I shaped and designed cowboy and fedora hats,” said

Parker who has been adding his own sense of style and creativity to traditional hats while shaping his own destiny in the process.

en he opened Hats By Parker omas (https://www.hatsbyparkerthomas.com/) two years ago at 257 Fillmore St., Unit 110, in the Cherry Creek area of Denver where he meets with his clientele by appointment. Parker and his small team of hat craftsmen also shape and sell his hats nationwide at private home parties (with 5-25 people), weddings, corporate gatherings, and community events. Likewise, sports gures and celebrities like Reba McEntire are now a part of his overall customer base. Most of Parker’s bookings are

made through his business location or through Instagram and TikTok.

e store and private events keep Parker busy these days but he still enjoys opportunities to be part of community events like the June 29 Mile High Hoedown at the Stampede in Aurora.

“I am really looking forward to meeting people at the Mile High Hoedown,” said Parker who explained that he welcomes every opportunity to support Colorado’s lifestyles and interact with athletes/artists, and all others within its many communities.

“Each hat and design depends on the needs of the customer and the customizations they choose,” said Parker. He stated that although he can

shape any type hat he especially enjoys creating cowboy style hats, which are so very popular throughout Colorado.

“Most hats can be done in around 30 minutes and I will make your hat to order right there at the Mile High Hoedown,” said Parker who mentioned that his custom wool or beaver-blend hats range from $200 to $450. For additional fees he also o ers cleaning, reshaping and branding services.

Music lovers won’t want to miss a beat when Boulder’s very own Sun Jr. brings their “Psych Mountain Rock” sounds to the stage. Dancers will love learning the latest line dances taught throughout the day by dance instructor/choreographer Laurie Burkardt. Attendees can visit vendor booths and print their own shirt or tank top with Ink and Drink, obtain a ash tattoo from Ace of MR. ACE Art & Tattoos, and get interactive with some “not permanent but cool” body art/ face painting and/or hair sparkle accents from Little People Face Painting.

e county has until the end of August to decide if it will move to add tax increase questions to the November ballot. Residents can visit acbudget.com to see how a potential tax increase will a ect them and engage in community discussion. Residents can also expect survey emails in their inboxes this week. is budget crisis came amid the State the State address highlighting “Responsive Government” and the county’s e orts to address residents’ concerns about feeling disconnected from the government.

“County governments are some of the most intimate forms of government because they give residents direct access to the governing process,” said Commissioner Carrie Warren-Gully of District 1.

One of those outcomes was the establishment of the Arapahoe County Public Health Department at the beginning of the year. Warren-Gully said the department provided aharm reduction vehicle and managed meningitis and measles outbreaks.

e county has also sustained its promise to maintain open spaces and local parks since 2003, when voters approved a ballot measure to increase sales and use taxes.

Baker said in the past 20 years, the county has protected 32,000 acres of open spaces, built and improved 70 miles of trails and in 2023, the county celebrated the reopening of Tsistsistas-Hinono’ei Park (Cheyenne/Arapaho Park), honoring the Plains Native American tribes.

“Our ability to provide these programs and services is in jeopardy,” Warren-Gully said. “And it is the elephant in the room… After years of insu cient tax revenues combined with a continuing increase for demand and our services, Arapahoe County is facing a choice.”

Smokey Bear to get due at fire truck parade

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Father’s Day weekend approaches, truck drivers are testing red lights and sirens ahead of their biggest event of the year: Littleton’s annual re truck parade and muster.

e event, in its 38th year, is hosted by the Mile High Hook and Ladder Club and takes place June 15. It will start with a parade of antique and modern re trucks on Littleton Boulevard and Main Street. en, the trucks will gather in the parking lot at Arapahoe Community College so people can take a closer look.

“What started as an occasion for antique re truck owners to proudly display their trucks has become a Father’s Day weekend tradition – and Littleton has embraced it,” said Pete Webb,  former club president and antique re truck

owner. “After all, where can you see classic re engines, new re engines and get to act like a re ghter with hoses and fun for a few hours?” e event will include re truck rides and a helicopter landing, along with a celebration of Smokey Bear’s 80th birthday.

“ e iconic ‘spokesbear’ for the U.S. Forest Service has played an integral role in helping prevent wild res across this country,” spokesperson Paula Wiens said.

Smokey Bear — known for the slogan, “Only you can prevent wild res” — will lead the parade on a U.S. Forest Service wildlands re truck. ere will be collectibles including coloring books, key rings and coozies to celebrate. Cherry Cricket Littleton is even providing “bear claw” pastries.

For the rst time, this year’s muster will also include a 60-foot-long tiller truck that requires two div-

ers, Weins said. e truck, which belongs to South Metro Fire Rescue, is one of only a handful in Colorado, she added.

“I’m told it will come down the parade route weaving sideways (like a crab),” she said. “Tillers date back to the late 1800s and were originally pulled by horses.

ey’re seeing a resurgence due to their maneuverability in high-density, high-rise urban neighborhoods.”

ere will also be a live burn demonstration to show the e ectiveness of sprinklers in a house re. Later, guests will witness an auto extrication demonstration, during which re ghters pry apart a crashed car to remove a “victim.”

For those interested in aviation, Children’s Hospital Colorado Children’s One Flight Team will also land a helicopter at the event. Kids will also get a chance to spray re hoses and learn

about life-saving measures, forensic investigations, and opportunities to attend camps in the mountains.

Families are encouraged to bring sunscreen, hats and a change of clothes for kids who may get wet during the water-related activities. Webb said the event is a great family-friendly activity that shows that kids can grow up to have careers in re response and emergency medical services.

“ is is a proud tradition, and we’re all proud to have a role in it,” he said.

e parade starts at 9 a.m. near Bannock Street and Littleton Boulevard and will proceed west on Main Street, then south on South Curtice Street. e muster will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Colorado Community Media is a sponsor of the event, along with several other local organizations.

Centennial leg of Denver-Lone Tree bikeway to be completed next year

BY ISABEL GUZMAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Bicyclists will soon be able to ride from Denver to Lone Tree, traversing alongside Interstate 25. Construction on the Inverness Drive West Bikeway began this week.

e project, expected to be completed by early 2025, includes a 6-foot-wide bike lane with a 2-foot-wide bu er on each side of Inverness Drive West between Dry Creek and County Line roads.

Plans also include the construction of a walking and cycling 10-foot-wide path separated from Inverness Drive West by a landscape bu er, new lighting, signs, enhanced drainage, repaved road and three

new roundabouts near the UC Health driveway, Inverness Lane West, and the northern Homewood Suites driveway.

e project is among many meant to add cycling routes from the capital city to southern metro towns.

Castle Rock, Douglas County opt out of new Colorado gun law

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock’s Town Council has decided to opt out of a new law that bans guns in government buildings and courthouses.

e recent decision comes in the wake of a 2024 law legislators passed that ban guns from sensitive spaces, including government buildings, starting July 1.

e law allows municipalities to opt out of the ban and Castle Rock’s council members unanimously approved an ordinance to do just that.   e move maintains the town’s policy that allows people to carry guns in the Town Hall. Castle Rock’s town charter prevents the council from placing any restriction or limitation on the right of citizens to keep and bear rearms without voter approval with the exception of laws regarding brandishing and discharging.

Under Colorado law, open carrying of rearms is legal for people older than 18 and who can legally possess a rearm and concealed carry is legal with a permit.

“We certainly allow rearms to be carried in this ‘sensitive space,’” town attorney Mike Hyman said. “We’re really just preserving status quo.”

e ordinance was adopted on the rst reading, so it’s e ective before the July 1 deadline. Typically, ordinances need two readings to pass.

Douglas County Commissioners approved a similar ordinance opting out of the ban for county buildings in the unincorporated areas of the county.

Hyman said he reached out to the county to work on opting out county buildings within Castle Rock boundaries through an amendment to the town’s ordinance.

a move to protect gun rights and called for the state legislature to stop infringing on the Second Amendment.

“I really appreciate us doing this because our Second Amendment rights should not be infringed upon,” Cavey said.

agreed and said that he’s frustrated with the legislative e orts to usurp local control and pass state mandates.

“I am in favor of this simply from a matter of this being to retain a decision that has already been made at the ballot box by the voters of Castle Rock,” Brooks said. “I’m deaf to the

legislation that comes out on (the Second Amendment) or any further erosion of local control from the state legislature.”

Quality over quantity in relationships

In today’s fast-paced world, the signi cance of prioritizing relationships often takes a back seat to professional ambitions and personal pursuits. However, the value of nurturing relationships cannot be overstated. Whether at home, among friends, or at work, the quality of our relationships profoundly impacts our wellbeing, happiness, and success. Understanding who the most important relationships are and how to prioritize them is essential for leading a ful lling life.

e relationships with our spouse and children are the foundation of our personal lives. ese bonds shape our emotional health and provide a sense of stability and belonging. Prioritizing relationships at home means dedicating quality time and attention to our loved ones. It involves active listening, shared experiences, and consistent support. Research shows that strong family bonds contribute to lower stress levels, better mental health, and greater life satisfaction. Investing in a spouse means more than just coexisting; it requires continuous e ort to maintain intimacy, trust, and mutual respect. Regular date nights, open communication, and shared responsibilities can strengthen marital bonds. Similarly, being present for our children, engaging in their interests, and providing guidance helps them feel valued and secure. As James Baldwin aptly said, “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

In an era dominated by social media, it’s easy to fall into the trap of maintaining numerous supercial friendships. However, the depth of our relationships matters more than the number of friends

we have. A tight-knit circle of close friends provides emotional support, companionship, and a sense of community. ese friends are the ones we can rely on during challenging times and celebrate with during successes.

Workplace relationships are crucial for career success and personal satisfaction. ese include relationships with colleagues, mentors, and supervisors. A positive work environment, built on mutual respect and collaboration, enhances productivity and job satisfaction. Prioritizing professional relationships means taking the time to build trust, communicate e ectively, and support your colleagues.

Prioritizing relationships involves more than just spending time with people. It means being genuinely present, showing empathy, and valuing the other person’s perspective. It requires setting boundaries to protect quality time with loved ones and being intentional about maintaining connections. Prioritization also means recognizing when to let go of toxic relationships that drain energy and hinder personal growth.

For many, the relationship with God or a higher power is the cornerstone of their existence. It provides a sense of purpose, moral guidance, and inner peace. Prioritizing this relationship involves regular practices such as prayer, meditation, and participation in religious or spiritual activities. It means seeking spiritual growth, living by one’s values, and fostering a sense of connection with the divine.

Incorporating spirituality into daily life can o er profound bene ts. It provides a framework for understanding life’s challenges, fosters resilience, and encourages a compassionate outlook. As C.S. Lewis remarked, “Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”

Prioritizing relationships is about recognizing their fundamental role

And we open the doors for people to do just that,” wrote Heather Brown, director of Membership and Guest Services, in an email interview. “What better

Special Pollinator Month events are going on through June at the pavilion, 6252 W. 104th Ave. and Pollinator Palooza is from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 29.

e Palooza is a blend of outdoor and indoor events, featuring animal interactions, butter y releases, a pollinator market, live music and performances (including by local dance groups), garden tours, food trucks and beer garden, and more.

“Visitors will have the chance to participate in one of many pollinator-themed craft workshops and enjoy fabulous cultural performances,” Brown wrote. “ ey will also be able to learn about Butter y Pavilion’s conservation projects and talk to the experts.”

Creating respect and appreciation for all pollinator species is the major reason behind all activities the pavilion is hosting in June and for very good reason.

“Pollinators are in decline, yet are critical for our ecosystems and agriculture,” Brown wrote. “In fact, pollinators are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. So, we want to spread the news that they need our support.”

e Butter y Pavilion has long been a leader in pollinator conservation, working locally, nationally and globally to seek and implement solutions for their success, according to provided information. From research, habitat restoration and working on sustainable landscapes, the pavilion is continually looking at new ways to protect the critical invertebrate species that keep our planet thriving.

“I hope people who visit in June have fun and learn more about the importance of pollinators and Butter y Pavilion’s global e orts to conserve and protect them,” Brown wrote. “More importantly, I hope people learn that everyone can get involved in the mission to help these vital creatures.” For details on the events and the work the pavilion does, visit www. butter ies.org.

Locomotives that built Colorado mining towns continue to steam after 150 years

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Inside the mechanic shop of the Colorado Railroad Museum, the air is thick with smoke and the smell of burning wood and diesel fuel as locomotive #20 prepares to re up its steam engine to burn coal as it rst did in 1899. e #20 was named “Portland‘’ after a pro table mine in the Cripple Creek District and was built to haul passengers and freight. It was sold to Rio Grande Southern in 1916, according to historians.

It was eventually donated to the Railroad Museum and returned to operation in 2020 following a $2 million,14-year restoration, accord-

ing to CRRM Chief Mechanic Je Taylor.

Taylor was the rst of several working mechanics/historians Colorado Community Media spoke with who made it clear: railroading and its history is not a job or hobby, it’s a passion.

“I like to say I get to play trains and it’s true,” Taylor said. “It sounds like a cliche but people say, ‘Find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.’ Well, it’s mostly true. I still have hard days at work but I love what I do. It’s been a passion for all of my life. As far back as I remember, I’ve always liked trains. I never grew out of it.”

In 1943, the 43-ton #20 locomotive rolled over and o the tracks on a hill

outside Durango. According to historians, it landed on a rock that dented the thick steel plate of the boiler. e plate was eventually replaced as part of its restoration.

“All of these locomotives and all of these pieces of equipment and cars all have terribly fascinating stories and backgrounds. Almost all of them have been in some sort of derailment or wreck,” Taylor said.

Engine #20 is just one of the meticulously restored locomotives on the 15 acres of the Colorado Railroad Museum at 17155 W 44 Ave. in Golden. e living museum maintainsmore than 100 narrow and standardgauge steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and cabooses, according to the museum.

Also on-site is locomotive #491, the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere, according to CRRM historians. Locomotive #491 is truly a “Colorado original,” having been built entirely in Colorado during the spring of 1928.

e largest steam engine at the museum, originally a Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad locomotive #5629, was built in 1940 and was used for fast freight and passenger service. It remained in operation until the early 1960s. No. 5629 is one of only four Burlington locomotives of its type still in existence, according to CRRM historians.

TRACKS

Enthusiasts can still board restored passenger cars for an authentic ride through on the rails powered by coalre steam locomotives, including #20.

Locomotives and railroads critical in the development of mining towns of Colorado

“ e story of Colorado being transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries is pretty much inseparable from the story of the railroad, so it’s hard to imagine Colorado without railroads,”

CRRM Executive Director Paul Hammond said.

e history is well documented in the CRRM library and resource center that spans well over 100 years of historical documents, maps and photographs. It was visited by more than 100,000 people from around the world last year, according to Hammond.

Gold and silver were discovered in Clear Creek County and Idaho Springs in 1859. Railroads didn’t arrive until 1876, according to historian Bob Bowland whose family settled in the mountain area in 1873.

“ e railroads were critical,” Bowland said.

Bowland and his wife Jan operate and maintain the Visitors Center and Historical Society at 2060 Miner St. in Idaho Springs.

“A lot of ore had to go to Denver to be treated after being milled up here and we certainly had mills but thenal smelting and re ning needed to be hauled to Denver,” Bowland said. ”Railroad transportation compared to the old ore wagons, there was really no comparison.”

e Argo Mill, 2350 Riverside Drive in Idaho Springs, would routinely ship up to 300 tons of gold and silver of highgrade ore to Denver smelters for nal processing, according to historical records.

“It’s so common to see mining towns and railroads together; they’re industries that need each other,” Bowland said with a laugh. “I would say, at least in this case, the mining needed the railroad more than the railroad needed the mines.”

Historical black-and-white photos of train cars lled with gold and silver ore heading to Denver ordain the walls of the historical society.

Well-dressed passengers from well over a century ago are also pictured boarding the steam-driven locomotive trains.

“Anytime a railroad arrived in town

back in those days it was a big deal and so it was truly critical,” Bowland said.

Devil’s Gate Station and High-Bridge defined Georgetown Loop railroad in 1883

e Devil’s Gate high bridge in Georgetown was considered to be an engineering feat when it was built in 1883, according to historical documents reviewed by Colorado Community Media.

It allowed trains climbing over steep mountains to switch back as the railroad rose from Georgetown to Silver Plume, according to the National and State Register.

“When it was built there were very few bridges that were curved and on a grade,” Brakeman and Conductor of the Georgetown Loop Railroad Caleb Murphy said. “It was thought that bridges had to be straight and level to be structurally sound but we did it and it was one of four or ve in the world at the time.”

e High-Bridge is approximately 300 feet long and built with an 18.5 degree left hand curve. It’s 100 feet above the Clear Creek bed and was originally constructed of cast and wrought iron, according to Murphy.

“ e old-time railroaders used to say that the bridge used to sway from sideto-side and sag in the middle as trains crossed over, thankfully our bridge does not do that,” Murphy said.

e original iron bridge was dismantled in 1939 and rebuilt in the 1970s.

It’s currently in use as the Georgetown Loop passenger train attracting more than 100,000 locals and visitors each year for historical trips with one of several restored coal- red steam locomotives, according to Murphy.

It’s not a job, it’s a passion

e historians, engineers, mechanics and volunteers who spoke with CCM are passionate about the history of railroading in Colorado.

“ is job?” Murphy asked, “It’s just a dream come true.”

e public’s attraction and passion for these historically accurate refurbished coal- red steam locomotives and cars was evident during CRRM’s recent “Colorado Crossings: Making History Today” event.

Locomotives #491 and #20 pulled passengers in original rail cars along the tracks surrounding the museum.

Hundreds of train enthusiasts, many dressed in vintage railroad overalls and hats with children in tow, snapped family pictures with living history as a background.

e existing parking lot over owed across the road, where it tripled in size.

In 1943, the 43-ton #20 locomotive rolled over and o the tracks on a hill outside Durango. According to historians, it landed on a rock that dented the thick steel plate of the boiler. The plate was eventually replaced as part of its restoration.

Home, bookstore, newsroom: Littleton house now landmark

Group celebrates historic designation of the dwelling on Curtice Street

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a house on South Curtice Street, a man named John Gerkin and his late wife, Liz Eaton, used to sit by the bay window during snowstorms to enjoy a candlelight dinner.

Years before that, people would wander into the house — which was at that time a bookstore — to nd their next read.

And at one point, it was the ofce of the short-lived Littleton Times newspaper, which was eventually bought by the Littleton Independent.

e house, located at 5870 S. Curtice St. in Littleton, was recently designated a local historic landmark by the city, o ering it special protection to ensure its long-term preservation.

“It is a nice home, and … the facade has not been changed,” said Rebecca Kast, a board member of Historic Littleton Inc., a historic preservation advocacy organization. “It’s nice to be able to have the historical context of our neighborhoods.” e group held an event on May 22 at the home on Curtice to celebrate the historic designation.

Gerkin, the current resident who applied for the home’s historic designation, said he and Liz, who was an interior designer, were always interested in historic preservation. ey knew from the moment they bought the home that they would one day want to get it designated.

Over time, the desire became more urgent.

“When developers started nding Littleton, we saw all the scraping o and everything,” Gerkin said at a city council meeting in December. “ at just committed us to make our home as an example of what Littleton was in the 1890s.”

The house at 5870 S. Curtice St. in Littleton was recently designated a local historic landmark by the city.

The two-story home — marked with handmade woodwork, overhanging eaves and a bay window — represents Littleton’s residential architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Moreover, it is associated with historically important Littleton citizens Harold Knight and Sonya Ellingboe.

Harold Knight was a volunteer fireman and worked for the Northern Irrigation Company, according to the landmark filing. He also managed and maintained the Littleton Cemetery. He and his family lived in the home in the 1930s, and perhaps for a couple of decades leading up to then.

Sonya Ellingboe is alongtime force in Littleton’s civic and cultural life and was a regular writer

at the Littleton Independent for decades. Before that, she also wrote for the Littleton Times.

For her, the house served several roles.

She moved to Littleton with her husband, Jack, in 1956. It was Ellingboe’s dream to own a bookstore, so in time Jack purchased a used and new book business in Englewood.

The couple bought the house on South Curtice Street for their daughter, Kirsten. When she moved out, they moved the bookstore into the house.

“(Ellingboe) said most of her customers helped, and friends, and neighbors and they packed all the books up, moved them over,” Kast said at the May 22 celebration.

Ellingboe’s son-in-law designed and added an addition to make the space bigger, Kast said.

“We moved here from Ames, Iowa, and in Ames, there was a

woman who had an old house with a bookstore in it, which I used to visit a lot,” Ellingboe said.

“I thought, ‘Oh, I’d really like to do that.’”

Ellingboe ran the business, called The Book House, from 1970 to 1986. When Ellingboe closed her business, she rented the space to the Littleton Times newspaper.

“This was the Littleton Times office for, I think, five or six years,” Kast said. “And Sonya started writing for the Littleton Times.”

Her writing career lasted 35 years until her retirement at age 93 in September 2023.

At the celebration of the house’s new designation, Ellingboe said she was delighted to see the house designated as a historic landmark.

“I was just really happy to have that happen,” she said, adding that as a board member of Historic Littleton Inc. she is involved with trying to get other properties

REVERSE MORTGAGES

historically designated in the city. Kast said preserving old buildings is important because it connects the city to its history and it makes Littleton stand out from other suburbs of Denver.

“If we don’t have any old buildings that show our past, we really don’t have any history,” Kast said. “I think it adds a lot of flavor to our community — all the buildings do. Having history is so important. It’s fun to talk about and share with people.”

Historic Littleton Inc. encourages people to go through the process to get their homes historically designated. Kast said the organization can offer advice, and she encouraged people to reach out to the city’s historic preservation board for more information on the process.

Other historic landmarks in the city include the Geneva Lodge, the Arapahoe County Courthouse, Town Hall and more.

Englewood parks bond plan faces questions

Council will mull details, dollar amount on June 17

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Englewood City Council delayed setting a new dollar amount on a proposed $50 million park bond ballot measure in their study session on Monday.

After discussing alternative plans and dollar amounts for a proposed bond measure that would allow the city to make improvements and changes to parks throughout Englewood, the council felt it was best to continue the discussion in their next regular meeting on June 17.

In the June 3 meeting, both residents and council members expressed changes they would prefer to see in the proposal, including the total dollar amount, what to do about draft plans to replace turf with native plants, possible updates to Pirates Cove Water Park and more.

“It’s interesting with something like a parks bond because there’s a ballot box and that really is where the decision gets made under the Colorado Constitution,” District 4 Councilmember Steve Ward said in his response to public comments. “We in this body have the option of deciding what project we want to pursue … or how much debt we’re willing to draw, but ultimately the decision of whether that gets done falls to the

voters.”

Ward continued to say he anticipates the city council will refer something to the ballot in their next discussion on that matter.

City Attorney Tamara Niles also said at the meeting that due to the city’s charter regarding general obligation bonds, if approved by council, the park bond will be the only question on the November election ballot.

Under the current proposal, Pirates Cove, Englewood Recreation Center and various parks would undergo upgrades and changes if passed by voters.

Proposed improvements at Pirates Cove include an inner-tube water slide that would replace the six lap lanes in the pool, the addition of a four-lane “Mat Racer Slide,” a leisure pool with an open recreation area for water basketball, volleyball and a waterfall.

e makeover of Pirates Cove would cost more than $9 million, according to the city.

e bond currently proposed would ask residents if they’d pay more in property taxes, and voters would need to approve a property tax increase of up to 4 mills to fund the improvements.

In addition to Pirates Cove, improvements might also be made to the Englewood Recreation Center, including a new surf simulator that would allow guests to practice sur ng and bodyboarding, roof improvements, a pickleball court, updated locker rooms, improved landscaping, a spa and a new pool deck at a cost of more than $10 million.

Other parks on the list for improvements include: Barde, Belleview, Centennial, Clarkson, Cushing, Emerson, Miller, Northwest Greenbelt, Rotolo and Southwest Greenbelt.

A breakdown of the bond includes the following:

LEGISLATURE

FROM PAGE 1

Colorado with six months or less to live to request medication from a medical professional to end their life.

Jacob Shannon, of Centennial, who supports the bill because his mother Lynda Shannon Bluestein used medical-aid-in-dying services, applauded the signing of the bill into law.

“We all have our own narrative of how we want our lives to end,” Shannon said. “None is right, and none is wrong. It’s our own.”

Shannon said his mother utilized services in Vermont in January after suing the state. Her e ort, he said, helped prompt changes in Vermont’s law, allowing people from outside the state to utilize the services.

Gentry said the bill also allows certain registered nurses with prescriptive authority to act as the attending and consulting provider.

“I think it’s important to add – no patient, doctor, nurse, or pharmacist – would be required to participate,” Gentry said. “Health care facilities can opt-out and would be required to post their policy on their website.” e bill attracted some opposition in the legislature, including from the Colorado Catholic Conference. e conference told the Centennial Citizen it “laments the expansion of Colorado’s unjust physician-assisted suicide law.”

“So-called ‘medical aid-in-dying’ targets the most vulnerable in our society, corrupts the medical practice, distorts the patient-doctor relationship by violating a doctor’s

commitment to the health of his patients, and disregards obligations to our elderly, disabled, or ill members of our community by viewing them as a burden,” the conference said.

Dr. Cory Carroll, national medical director of Compassion and Choices, said the shorter wait time in between requests is important for patients. He said the bill is a natural evolution for the act, which was passed eight years ago.

“I don’t think the bill will discourage those currently participating,” Carroll said. “As the years pass from 2016 more and more physicians have agreed to participate and I think this trend will continue.”

Nine other states and Washington, D.C. allow medical aid in dying options, according to Compassion and Choices.

California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington have made changes to their laws similar to the measures being considered by Colorado lawmakers.

States that have decreased their waiting periods for medical aid in dying have seen an increase in services.

In a study by Kaiser Permanente, 33% of qualifying patients who requested to use California’s End of Life Option Act died before completing the eligibility process in 2018, including 21% during the then-mandatory 15-day waiting period.

After lawmakers changed the waiting period in 2021 from 15 days to 48 hours, data shows nearly 50% more qualifying, terminally ill people were given access to aid-in-dying medication.

Alzheimer’s Association o ers methods to prevent, treat disease

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In keeping with Alzheimer’s awareness month, the Alzheimer’s Association is o ering various methods to reduce, diagnose and live with the disease.

e Association said 55 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer’s disease, including over 7 million Americans and about 91,000 Coloradans.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, and the association reminds people that almost everyone will be touched by the disease, be it by having it themselves or caring for someone who does.

So it’s important to know methods of reducing the chance of acquiring the disease, knowing when you have it and mapping out the

journey of living with it.

Reducing the risk

e association said Alzheimer’s most likely occurs in people over the age of 65 but the changes in people’s brains that led to the disease can start 15 to 20 years before science can diagnose it.

erefore, the association urges people to “take charge” of their brain health, which can be done in various methods.

ose methods including the following:

Address hearing loss– Research shows 65% of adults over the age of 60 lose hearing. One study showed those with hearing loss and a higher risk for cognitive decline were able to reduce their decline by about half because they utilized hearing aids and hearing counseling.

‘Guard your gut’– “Researchers found that bowel movements less frequent than every three days was associated with 73% higher odds of subjective cognitive decline and long-term health issues like in ammation, hormonal imbalances and anxiety and depression,” the Association said.

Maintain a healthy diet– ose whose caloric intake consists 20% of ultra-processed foods, are likely to have a 28% faster decline in global cognitive scores compared to those who don’t. ese scores include “memory, verbal uency and executive function.”

‘Sleep it o ’– e National Sleep Foundation reports that sleep apnea may a ect 20% of the population, and 85% of people don’t know they have it. “People with this sleep disorder are more likely to have

brain biomarkers associated with a heightened risk of stroke and cognitive decline.”

‘Be engaged’– “A University of California-Davis study found that volunteering was associated with better baseline scores on tests of executive function and verbal episodic memory,” the Association said.

Getting a diagnosis

If it’s too late to reduce the risk of acquiring the disease and it seems one is showing signs of Alzheimer’s, then a medical visit is the next course of action.

Jim Herlihy, senior marketing and communications director of the Alzheimer’s Association, said “it is important to see one’s family physician who, possibly, may provide a

HEALTH

referral to a specialist if they aren’t comfortable making a diagnosis.”

“A diagnosis is critical because only half of the 91,000 Coloradans and 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s are ever diagnosed, and without a diagnosis, the individual will be unable to take advantage of new FDA-approved medications, (such as lecanemab or Leqembi) that have proven e ective in slowing the progression of the disease in the earliest stages,” Herlihy said.

Additionally, he said the sooner families know the sooner they can take advantage of educational

programs to better understand the disease and how to adapt.

Living with Alzheimer’s

Following a diagnosis, Herlihy said the next steps depend on the stage of the disease and what medications are available to help treat it.

“For the family, planning is essential to understand how to best care for their loved one and ensure that they are prepared for the changes that come with the progression of the diagnosis,” he said. “ ere are support groups, both for the person with the diagnosis as well as for family members, to o er guidance to better understand what to expect.”

8 things to know before whitewater rafting

Local rafting expert provides summer safety tips

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Take a ride on some Rocky Mountain whitewater between hiking and camping this summer for a refreshing and fun-filled afternoon. But read this article first.

Whitewater rafting is as notoriously Colorado as green chili, but it can be deadly if you’re not careful. According to stats from the National Institutes of Health in 2018, Colorado has led the nation in whitewater fatalities since 1975.

Fortunately, local experts, like the ones at Liquid Descent Rafting in Idaho Springs and Kremmling, have been leading safe excursions on the water since 2007, and their safety tips can save lives and create lifelong memories for mountain enthusiasts.

“We’ve got it figured out in Colorado,” Liquid Descent Owner Alan Blado said. “Especially on Clear Creek. It snows all winter and we ride Loveland Ski Area and Echo Mountain and enjoy the snow. It melts, and we enjoy it as it runs down the hills on rafts and kayaks. Then it flows into Golden and we make a bunch of beer.”

Blado said he’s showing tourists and inexperienced rafters the ropes every day, so he helped us come up with eight things to know before hitting the water this summer.

Whitewater rafting is a favorite outdoor activity for tourists and locals alike, but it can be dangerous if you don’t take the proper safety steps. Here, a group enjoys a rafting adventure with the help of a local guide.

1. Rafting season tentatively runs from May through August

Generally, May 15 is the target date for rafting season to open up, but it all depends on forces bigger than us.

“It just kind of depends on when the creek gets high enough to run; weather determines that,” Blado said. “So, like this year, it’s been a slow build because it’s been colder than it usually is, which is great because the longer the river takes to peak (hit maximum ow) the longer the season is going to last.”

With the strong snowpack this past winter (the best since 2019) along with a cool spring, Blado said it’s

shaping up to be a long and successful season.

“Not only is the season going to last longer, but the river is going to provide more excitement and more fun,” he said.

Blado anticipates the season running through August, but it depends on the water and the weather.

2. You technically don’t need to know how to swim, but it’s encouraged Depending on the adventure option you choose, it’s not necessary to know how to swim. But it’s always encouraged, especially when rafting through Clear Creek, which can be

more dangerous than most rafting locations.

At Liquid Descent, the ability to swim is not required on the Upper Colorado, Clear Creek Beginner and Clear Creek Intermediate trips. Participants must know how to swim for the Clear Creek Advanced and Gore Canyon trips.

“We hope that people know how to swim when they do the beginner or intermediate trips, but we don’t require it,” Blado said.

3. You must sign a waiver before going whitewater rafting

All whitewater rafting participants must sign a waiver. Parents or guardians must sign for individuals under the age of 18.

You can nd the digital waiver on Liquid Descent’s website.

4. Colorado Parks & Wildlife requires 50 hours of on-river training for guides Guides are required to be seasoned professionals before taking the public on rafting expeditions. Colorado Parks & Wildlife requires 50 full hours of on-river training before being allowed to take customers out on the water.

But Blado requires more.

“If you ask me, that’s nowhere near enough to guide on Clear Creek,” he said. “Because Clear Creek is a little bit steeper and there’s some aggressive sections. So, even on the beginners’ section, we require our guides to have over 100 hours of on-river training before they can even think about taking customers.”

RAFTING

Blado said the state requirement is pretty minimal because, in a lot of cases, raft guides won’t be on as dangerous water as Clear Creek whitewater. at’s why he doubles the state requirement to ensure optimal training for guides and safety for customers.

5. Show up in street clothes with rafting clothes in hand

Obviously, you’re going to get wet. Because of this, avoid cotton clothes, jeans and other fabrics that absorb or hold a lot of moisture.

e best clothing to wear is quickdrying, synthetic fabrics that are comfortable under your wetsuit, which is required. Bathing suits are ideal choices.

Like most rafting companies, Liquid Descent provides wetsuits, splash jackets, personal oating devices and helmets. You can rent boots for $5 but can also bring any footwear with an ankle strap that remains securely on your feet (no ip- ops, Crocs, etc.).

6. No drugs or alcohol can be consumed before rafting

With steep rapids, jagged rocks

in the water and fast-paced rafting, this rule is self-explanatory. ere is a no-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol (including marijuana) before whitewater rafting.

7. Prepare for a workout

Depending on the level of di culty or experience you choose for your rafting outing, prepare for a workout. Fighting the rapids with your

paddle can be a strong exercise for the biceps, shoulders, triceps, quads and more.

Intermediate and advanced trips will be quite the workout, so don’t expect a leisurely trip if you choose a more di cult rafting option.

Customers are welcome to bring water on the bus to the raft site but it’s recommended not to bring personal devices on the boat.

8. Rafting is accessible to people of all ages and experience levels

Blado said a popular misconception about whitewater rafting is people might not think it’s accessible to everyone, but the variety of the Colorado landscape provides options for all.

“What’s awesome about Clear Creek is we have stretches for rsttimers and young kids all the way up to adrenaline-seeking, adventurous people,” Blado said. “So Clear Creek is perfect for that. And we have everything in between. Whether you have small kids (age 5 and up) or someone who has a little bit of trepidation about rafting and you want to start out at a really mild stretch, we got that.”

Liquid Descent also has options for rst-timers or experienced adrenaline junkies who want the “real, Colorado whitewater experience.” Clear Creek is unlike other rivers because it’s constantly moving with little-tono at water, making it a fun time for rafters of all ages and experience levels.

“I couldn’t design a better river to o er to customers,” Brado said. “ e trips are action-packed and fun and perfect for those looking to have some awesome whitewater experiences.”
