MY NAME IS
KAYLA RYON
Castle Rock barista enjoys rock climbing and motherhood A Castle Rock resident since 1994 I went to Castle Rock Elementary, graduated from Douglas County High School. It’s close to the mountains. It’s close to a lot of the outdoor activities. If you want to go to Pike’s Peak it’s like an hour drive. It’s a perfect location, which is why it’s so popular. The things to do here have actually just recently started showing up. When I was growing up there was the movie theater. Now we’ve got the rec center. The town likes to do a lot of events, which is great. For fun, I love… Swimming. I love running. I love being around horses, helping out at ranches. I’m a rock climber, and I have a 3-year-old so it’s just parenting right now. Doing all the fun things, we play dinosaurs and ninjas. We got him into
rock climbing. He’s a little whirlwind. He can tell you all of his dinosaur names. He’s incredible. It’s incredible how smart children are. Brewing coffee I’ve been here for a year and a half. I started working here really just to get out of the house. I was a stay-at-home mom. It was nice to come here and meet people. I think that’s the greatest thing about working here is our effort to have that conversation with people and make sure that their day is going well. We’re here to make you smile, we’re here to make you laugh. We want people to feel welcome and cared about. It’s getting customers’ names and getting their identities down. Learning people’s stories We’ve got lots of regulars that come in. So we know a lot of the faces that come in. That’s what I love about being a barista — is learning people’s stories. I get to see the faces of Castle Rock and the people who have moved here and the people who have been here for years.

Court hears arguments on school district case involving religion Promotion of mission trip by Fellowship of Christian Athletes is at issue in lawsuit BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A lawyer for the American Humanist Association argued in a courtroom Nov. 16 that the Douglas County School Disrict has a track record of promoting Christian causes, violating the Constitution. A school district lawyer countered that no students were forced to participate in the events that led to the AHA’s lawsuit two years ago, and that the programs were secular in nature. The lawyers presented oral arguments before the 10th Circuit Court of
Appeals in a case revolving around the promotion at two schools of a Fellowship of Christian Athletes mission trip and supply drive to aid people in Guatemala. The incident took place in 2014 at Highlands Ranch High School and Cougar Run Elementary, where a supply drive was held. In addition, a flier and email promoting the effort were sent to students and families at a number of schools in the district. The plaintiffs in the case are identified in court documents as John Doe, Jack and Jill Roe — who have two children attending school in the district — and Jane Zoe, on behalf of her son, who was a student at Cougar Run in Highlands Ranch at the time. Zoe argued that her son was taunted for not believing in God after he declined to participate in the program, which the AHA said took place during school hours. The plaintiffs’ real names were not available.
The lawsuit names as defendants the school district, the board of education, former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, Cougar Run Elementary Principal John Gutierrez and former HRHS Principal Jerry Goings. Fagen and Goings no longer work for the district. The American Humanist Association — a group that says it works to ensure the separation of church and state — filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District on Oct. 22, 2014. The AHA said the district’s program was in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of and from religion. David Niose represented the American Humanist Association and Eric V. Hall represented the school district. The district argued “a secular supply drive took place for secular reasons and that no religious content took place at the school.”
Hall also said students were not forced to participate and that Zoe’s son was able to opt out. “Receiving the flier and email had no coercive effect,” Hall said. Niose argued that the school district was promoting a mission that had a goal of converting people to Christianity. He also said the affiliation and joint promotion with FCA made it obviously not secular. Niose said the Douglas County School District has repeatedly promoted evangelical Christian programs, such as Operation Christmas Child — a holiday toy drive sponsored by a Christian group Samaritan’s Purse — despite warnings. “This is a school district that has an extensive record of promoting a Christian mission,” Noise said. It was not known when the judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals would issue an opinion on the case.

Douglas County School Board rescinds latest voucher program The board decided to end it because of concerns about mounting legal costs BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County Board of Education has voted 7-0 to rescind its School Choice Grant Program because of rising concerns about the cost of defending it against ongoing legal challenges. With the newest voucher program gone, all litigation concerning it will also go away. The program had effectively been suspended since the spring, and no students were using it. “There is a grave concern about the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers,” board
member Anne-Marie Lemieux said at the Nov. 15 school board meeting. The amount of money the district has spent on defending the program was not available by press time. In March, the school board amended and renamed its original vouchLemieux er system, the Choice Scholarship Program, to prohibit money from being used at religious schools — a point that led to litigation against the prior program. Judge Michael Martinez of the 2nd Judicial District stopped the Reynolds newest voucher program Aug. 3. Martinez granted the injunction filed by Taxpayers for Public Education, a group that, accord-
‘There is a grave concern about the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers.’ Anne-Marie Lemieux,
Douglas County School Board member p ing to its website, is a Colorado-based, bipartisan organization made up of taxpayers and parents of children enrolled in public schools. Martinez found that the School Choice Grant Program was fundamentally the same as its predecessor, and that it was covered by the same injunction that halted the earlier version of the program.

“I know where this is heading and it is not heading in the direction of my r child being able to go to the school that H they want to,” school board Vice Presi- o t dent Judith Reynolds said Nov. 15. g Board President Meghann Silverthorn said rescinding the second program does not change the district’s o commitment to school choice and that g the district is awaiting the fate of the s original program, which has faced legal challenges and is waiting to be Q a heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. d “This is perhaps not the best way forward,” Silverthorn said. “I think there are better programs than this to n provide school choice to our families.” o The voucher dispute dates to 2011, t when the school board approved the a Choice Scholarship Program. Designed to accommodate 500 students, it f allowed students’ parents to use state- d s provided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including t religiously affiliated institutions. l Taxpayers for Public Education i subsequently filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge i halted the program that same year, but e in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. The state’s top court in b June 2015 issued a ruling saying using l t public funds for religious schooling was unconstitutional, again halting g the program. The district filed an appeal with the r U.S. Supreme Court in September 2015. s Taxpayers for Public Education officials said they are pleased that the e b board of education has recognized “the futility of trying to legally defend t its revised voucher program, and has $ y voted to rescind that program.” “However, DCSD continues to defend its original, unconstitutional voucher N t program in the courts and to divert scarce public school resources to that improper purpose,” the group wrote in an emailed statement. “TFPE urges the DCSD Board to take action to rescind its original voucher program as well, and to turn all public school resources back to the goal of educating the public school children of Douglas County.” Board member James Geddes reiterated the district’s commitment to choice and the original Choice Scholarship Program. “I am very much in favor of implementing the Choice Scholarship Program and having it be a success,” Geddes said. “I support the concept and I hope to see the Supreme Court will make a decision that will send us down that course.”

School district rolls out three eco-friendly buses The new vehicles use compressed natural gas, ‘the cleanest-burning fossil fuel’ BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Bright sunshine and a clear blue sky were an appropriate backdrop for the Douglas County School District’s presentation of three environmentallyfriendly buses as part of a sustainability plan to make a brighter, cleaner future for its students. Douglas County High School students joined representatives from the district, Noble Energy, Black Hills Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council outside the school on Nov. 16 to bring “on board” three new buses, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). “This is our planet and our community, and it’s our job to take care of it,” said Layla Baden, a ninthgrader taking an environmental science class at the school. Ken Lloyd, executive director for the Regional Air Quality Council, said CNG buses are a healthier alternative for members of the community than diesel-burning counterparts. “These are the buses that are going through our neighborhoods, these are the buses that are idling at our schools,” Lloyd said, adding that “children are the most vulnerable” people to suffer the effects of air pollution. “Compressed natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel,” said Courtney Kuntz, sustainability director for the district. “It’ll improve air quality for students, drivers and people in the area.” In addition to cleaner air and financial savings for the school district, Kuntz said in her address that learning about the environment benefits students in the classroom, leading to better attendance, improved academic performance and a sense of empowerment. Kuntz went on to say that to say that seeing the buses on the road every day will provide “real-world learning” for the students and visible evidence of the district’s efforts to protect the environment. “We’re creating an innovative environment and getting students to think outside of the box in response to pressing environmental issues,” Kuntz said. Noble Energy Development Manager Curtis Rueter added that the buses will improve the district’s bottom line. He said the new buses will save up to $4,000 per bus in annual fuel costs, a potential $60,000 savings for each bus over their expected 15year use. After receiving more than $250,000 in grants from Noble Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council, the new buses cost the district $200,706, a 16-percent

South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 PHOTOS AND TEXT BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
t’s 8 a.m. on Nov. 7, a quiet morning inside South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 at 12625 E. Lincoln Ave. Patrick Grout and Taylor Olson watch an online training seminar. Olson, a three-year veteran, sits in a recliner while Grout, the station’s oneyear rookie, sits in an office chair. Rookies aren’t allowed to sit in recliners. Lt. Sheryl West and Binford work out downstairs as engineer Matt Morley makes a protein shake in the kitchen. The crew work 48-hour shifts together at the station house, eating, sleeping and waiting for the call. “I’ve spent about a third of my life here,” firefighter Chris Binford says. “You become very close to the people
you work with — they’re like a second family.” The crew spends the day testing equipment, preparing meals, trading stories and waiting for the alarm. A handful of calls come in throughout the day, interrupting meals and conversations. Each time, the team is on the road in under a minute. Complaints of chest pains, a tractortrailer rollover, a traffic accident all turn out to be nothing special, and they return to the station after other responders radio that the calls aren’t serious. But they treat each alarm as the real thing, never letting down their guard. SEE DAY, P7
11:32 a.m. Matt Morley sits in the driver’s seat and waits for Binford and West to return to the truck as they respond to a possible cardiac arrest call at The Center at Lincoln. The team will go to the hospital to pick up Grout, before heading to the grocery store to pick up lunch.

Even if they don’t fight a fire, Grout says there’s always something to be learned and improved upon in every call. “Now, if you get three of them after midnight, that can be a bit tedious,” he says, smiling. Two more learning experiences are called in that afternoon, and the crew responds just as quickly and keenly. With 40 hours left in their shift, they know that anything can happen.
1:39 p.m. Grout rolls up a sprayer hose after testing a pump truck’s equipment on Nov. 7. Station 44 teams perform at least one maintenance chore per day. On Mondays, they test the sprayers, solutions, saws, extractors, ladders and other equipment on the truck.
3:02 p.m. Patrick Grout, left, and Chris Binford ride to a call to Castle Pines. The call turns out to be a false alarm. The caller spotted thick smoke coming from a neighbor’s chimney but no one in the house would answer the door. The first team on site found called the responders off.

Communities embrace giving spirit for the holidays
Locals fill shoeboxes with gifts for impoverished children around the world BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a recent morning, Lela Perkins worked to organize shoebox donations piled up at a booth near the front entrance of her Parker church. Inside each box were toothbrushes, toothpaste, school supplies, soap, hard candy and stuffed animals. Perkins is the collection center coordinator at Southeast Christian Church in Parker for Operation Christmas Child, which sends shoeboxes filled with Christmas gifts to impoverished children from ages 2 to 14 around the world. Samaritan’s Purse is a nonprofit Christian organization that partners with churches worldwide to help those affected by poverty, war, natural disasters, disease and famine. On Nov. 15, two large trailers sat in Southeast’s parking lot, waiting to be filled with the shoeboxes. The trailers would be taken later to a center in Aurora for further processing. The processing center, one of a handful in the country, inspects packages from Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah for prohibited items such as liquids, breakables or military-related objects. Many of

One of those locations is Ridgeline Community Church in Castle Rock. Congregation members Joan Hollenbach and her son Josh have a longstanding family tradition of dropping off shoeboxes. They always pack one box for a boy and another for a girl. Among the gifts in their boxes were marbles, cards, candy, crayons, colored pencils, socks and, as usual, a letter from Josh. “All little things that we sort of take for granted,” she said. Once, in the 10 years they’ve donated shoeboxes, someone wrote them back. The first official day for Operation Christmas Child donations was Nov. 14. But Southeast had already received more than 200 boxes the previous Saturday and Sunday. By the end of Nov. 14, the number had climbed to nearly 500. The national collection week ran from Nov. 14-21. Southeast gathered the donations from Castle Rock, Parker, Monument and Elizabeth. Shanda Brabec, area coordinator for those communities, said the area goal was 14,750 boxes, up from what the approximate 13,000 donations received last year. “We will probably get close to 2,000 this weekend,” Perkins said on Nov. 15. Southeast has participated in the program for seven years, starting first by holding packing parties. “I signed up for a two-hour slot and this is what it has become,” Perkins said with a laugh. Brabec is wrapping up her first year as area coordinator, but also has volunteered for many years. “I’ve been packing shoeboxes for over a decade,” Brabec said. She and her daughter have also volunteered at the processing center. The women say they’re in it for the goodwill it brings. “The entire purpose,” Perkins said, “is obviously to let children know that they’re loved.”

School implements campaign to encourage students to reach out to one another BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY
At the beginning of the school year, Marlaine McMechen, a counselor at Rock Canyon High School, asked her peer counselor class to pick what they thought were the school’s top three issues. The majority chose feeling isolated, cliques and making and keeping friends. So McMechen decided to take action. She and her students brainstormed the Kindness is Contagious Campaign. “I said, `You know what, we need to do something about this. This isn’t OK,’ ” said McMechen, who has been in education for 18 years. “Where is the kindness in the world?” McMechen brought the idea to the Vortex, a group of staff that meets weekly about the school’s climate and culture. They were on board. On Nov. 15, students at Rock Canyon High School, 5810 McArthur Ranch Road, attended an assembly to kick off the campaign, which is in conjunction with Rachel’s Challenge, a program named after Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. She believed that kindness is a chain reaction. The program’s mission is to make schools safer and eliminate bullying and violence. “You could have heard a pin drop in there, which is rare in an assembly,” McMechen said. Parents were invited to a similar presentation that evening. The Kindness is Contagious Cam-
paign involves monthly meetings in students’ homerooms along with projects, including flags and social media hashtags such as #RCFamily. The school is working on “Kindness is Contagious” wristbands that teachers can pass to students when they see a kind act, or that students can pass to one another. “We are asking kids to be kind,” McMechen said. Josh Wright, a Rock Canyon junior and peer counselor, is optimistic about the campaign. “There is a lot of negativity going on,” he said. “I hope to see people being nicer to each other, thinking about their actions and being more accepting and open to one another.”

Douglas County reviews water zoning protocol Proposed addition to plan encourages renewable water use by developers BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County is encouraging housing developers to use more renewable water sources. The county held a late afternoon public workshop on Nov. 14 for proposed changes to the county’s water zoning plan. Conversation was diligent and
thorough, despite a sparsely attended meeting of six people in addition to county staff. The exact portion of the plan under review is Section 18A, which helps determine if a proposed development has an adequate water supply, particularly in terms of quality, quantity and dependability. Douglas County’s Board of Commissioners first adopted 18A in 1998, but it has been revised in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2013. County experts said the regulations are primarily for new housing developments or properties seeking to rezone for reasons like expansion. Additionally, they mostly pertain to
unincorporated Douglas County, as most municipalities or other water districts have their own regulations. The main changes in Section 18A were to remove about 15 pages of repetitive sections and more clearly explain if a developer would qualify. But staff also has proposed Section 18B, an entirely new set of regulations that will act as an alternative to Section 18A. As the resolution stands, developers must meet a water demand standard of .75 acre-feet per residence per year. A demand standard is an estimate of how much water a household or development will need, said Kati
Rider, a planning resource supervisor with Douglas County. An acre-foot is how water is measured. One way to think of it, Rider said, is to imagine it as the equivalent to the amount of water that woud spread across an acre of land at one foot deep. However, county staff said, the average household uses closer to .40 or .45 acre-feet. The .75 standard is costly for developers and may require them to source more water than necessary. “This revision may matter to residents as it may be a way to encour-

WATER: Developers could propose higher density if they consume less groundwater FROM PAGE 10
age new development to utilize renewable water resources, rather than groundwater, in all areas of the county,” Rider said. Under 18B, developers could propose higher-density developments if they also promise to use less groundwater, rely on more renewable water sources and prove they can accomplish that goal. Not more than 50 percent of the water supply could come from non-renewable sources. Although the overall amount of water use
might be greater, the hope is to encourage a more environmental approach. If the amendments continue to gain traction, they would pass before the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners for final approval. Public comment is accepted at www.douglas.co.us through Nov. 23. Information about the amendments may be found through the county’s Project Records Online (PRO) online tool. Commissioners will schedule a work session to review the input after public comment closes.

Happy Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving — and keep on being thankful WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
E
very year it seems like the Christmas music starts earlier and the holiday promotions and advertising start even earlier. I mean, we barely get past Halloween and we are quickly immersed in the chaos of the Christmas holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I truly love Christmas and I give thanks for the true meaning of the holiday, I just wish that somehow we could minimize the commercialization of the holiday and get back to what it is really all about. With that said, how many of us fall victim to that same rush and crush of the holiday? Has Thanksgiving become just another holiday sandwiched in somewhere between The Fourth of July and Christmas? Maybe we allow it
to happen or we just don’t know how to stop the wave of promotions and hype that have taken over the holidays. I mean, here we are on Thursday giving thanks and then waking up at 3 in the morning to tackle “Black Friday.” For me, Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. Not only because we get to be with family and friends and enjoy the amazing meals and desserts, but also because we are intentionally put in a position to give thanks for all we have and to express gratitude for all of those people who are so very near and dear to us. And for many of us, our favorite part of the holiday is the access to those scrumptious leftovers. Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup,

was taught new skills to help me become even more adept. Thanks to my upbringing and work in the construction business, we constantly solved problems by creatively implementing new solutions. When you’re in the field with limited resources, your creativity soars. In corporate America I further honed my abilities to do this. One soon learns the best laid plans by the “experts” is good for a day or two. Life begins to happen. Decisions are changed or postponed, parts show up late, and designs are modified. Rather than get all worked up over these events, I had absolute confidence we would succeed. I viewed them as a challenge and flowed with
the new information. To me it was like solving a dynamic jigsaw puzzle — the fun was in seeing how all the necessary pieces could be put together to meet the original goal. I quickly learned the benefits of asking powerful-versusdisempowering questions. Empowering questions are: • How can this help me? • How can we use this to our advantage in achieving the goal? • What is the lesson? How can this make me better? Disempowering questions are: • Why is this happening to me? • What else can go wrong? • What am I going to do now? SEE BOTT, P13

So if we can enjoy the benefits of the leftover turkey, why can’t we seem to remember to enjoy the benefits of appreciation and giving thanks after Thanksgiving has come and gone? Leftover gratitude, I love it!

I am thankful that none of my friends makes quotation marks in the air with their fingertips. I am thankful that my name is not Ken Bone or Helen Twelvetrees. I am thankful that I didn’t invest in Chipotle. I am thankful that “Seinfeld” is no longer in production. “Oy, Martha.” For one entire day, midnight to midnight, I will be a sweetheart. Nothing is going to bother me. When it comes to my neighbors, I will say to myself, “It could be worse.

SMITH: Don’t tell me when it’s time to celebrate someone or something FROM PAGE 12
I am thankful for the humble ellipsis … An ellipsis allows me to say something without saying anything. I am thankful for the internet, because it enables me to cobble together one of these columns, and give the impression that I am knowledgeable, when actually I can only name six state capitols.
Or is it “capitals”? That’s an old joke: What’s the capital of Ohio? It’s “O.” I am thankful that dogs don’t hold it against us, what they have been through, when we adopt them. I just learned that my mother had something called “reactive attachment disorder.” I wish I had known sooner. My mother was adopted, but not soon enough. By the time she was adopted, she felt
unwanted and unloved, even though she was wanted and loved. She protected herself by criticizing others, perhaps before they could criticize her. We had several epic Thanksgivings when I was Holden Caulfield Jr. On the other hand, Smitty forgave or forgot the two owners ahead of me. Thankfully. I am not crazy about being told when to celebrate someone
or something. That goes for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day. That’s someone’s idea of making a penny. I was asked to draw the fifth grade Thanksgiving mural at Eberwhite Elementary School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There are no photographs of it, and if there were, I’d try to suppress them. I’m sure that I drew pilgrims and Indians, and picnic tables.
Badly. I didn’t know it at the time, but it was the start of something that became my life. Making art. I am always thankful for that too. “He almost sounds human sometimes, Martha.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

BOTT: Friends and family can help remind us all of how to be thankful FROM PAGE 12
You see that disempowering questions quickly put you into a tail-spin and do not help in finding a solution. It’s amazing how many people continue to behave this way even though they have years of experience. They develop a victim attitude. When this happens, they’re basically whipped and have little if any chance of success. Stress levels rise, tempers flare, and blame is thrown about. Empowering questions put you into a positive frame of mind. Your mind-set is one of “I’ve got this” or “we can make it work.” During our lunch break in Corporate America, we created a solutions game. We would see how many different solutions we could come up with based upon the current fixed knowns. Nothing was off limits — any idea was valid no matter how crazy it seemed. We discovered that someone’s goofy idea would oftentimes trigger a great idea by someone else. All of this is part of the
solution process. At the time I didn’t realize the importance or benefit in this way of thinking. I viewed it as a fun game to stretch our imagination. It wasn’t until later that I understood we were building our lateral thinking muscles and teaching ourselves to connect the dots in different ways. This “game” is one I still play. I recently read in “The Obstacle” by Ryan Holliday that in a study of 208 old/new military campaigns, only 2 percent of the successful battles were accomplished via attacking the enemy at its strong point. The overwhelming majority of successful battles occurred by finding new solutions and connecting the dots in different and unexpected ways. When you find yourself at wits end, when you feel stuck and are out of ideas, when your stress level is skyhigh, this is the time to take a breather and connect the dots in a different way. The answer is staring you in the face, but you’re stuck in rigid views of the

cup of coffee, a workout, maybe a little Bible study, getting to work, handling our tasks and to-do’s, stopping by our favorite lunch place or enjoying our lunch made at home. What if we built in time to our daily routine to recognize and appreciate what we have been blessed with in this life, including all of the wonderful people in our lives? I love being at the dinner table at Thanksgiving and hearing what everyone has to share regarding what they are most thankful for. I too get caught up in the ceremony of the day and maybe get a little too amped up about what I am thankful for. But more than the holiday, I enjoy the halo effect of Thanksgiving. I love to be re-inspired to give thanks and show gratitude wherever and whenever possible. To me, the Thanksgiving holiday is kind of like New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve, most of us get inspired to set new goals, drop bad habits, and renew our interests in meaningful work or activities. Thanksgiving is the same in that it should inspire us to maintain the spirit
of gratitude for the next 365 days. And you see, just like New Year’s Eve where some people establish goals and quickly lose interest within a few days, people who celebrate Thanksgiving and share their appreciation on that day seem to quickly forget their blessings as they rush into the end of year priorities and holidays. Staying committed to an attitude of gratitude takes work,and that is why we must build it into our daily routines and internalize the importance of showing gratitude and appreciation. So how about you? Is Thanksgiving a “one-and-done” holiday for you or do you use it as a time of year to renew your passion and intent around being grateful for everyone and all things in your life? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can give thanks after Thanksgiving, it really will be a better than good week.

Medicine could help reverse heart disease
BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For the first time, a new drug given along with a cholesterollowering statin medicine has proved able to shrink plaque that is clogging arteries, potentially giving a way to undo some of the damage of heart disease. The difference was very small but doctors hope it will grow with longer treatment, and any reversal or stabilization of disease would be a win for patients and a long-sought goal.
The drug, Amgen Inc.’s Repatha, also drove LDL, or bad cholesterol, down to levels rarely if ever seen in people before. Heart patients are told to aim for below 70, but some study participants got as low as 15. “There doesn’t appear to be any level at which there is harm” from too little LDL, and the lower patients went, the more their plaque shrank, said one study leader, the Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Steven Nissen. Results were published Nov. 15 by the Journal of the American Medical Association
and discussed at an American Heart Association conference. Statins such as Lipitor and Crestor curb cholesterol production. Repatha and a similar drug, Praluent, block PCSK9, a substance that interferes with the liver’s ability to remove cholesterol from the blood. Too much cholesterol, along with other substances, can build up and form plaque in arteries. The new drugs have drawbacks, though. Statins are pills sold as generics for as little as a dime a day. The new ones are biotech drugs that are expensive to make — Repatha costs
$14,000 a year and insurers often won’t pay. They must be given as shots every two weeks or once a month. People can do it themselves with a penlike device. In the study, about 900 heart disease patients were given a strong statin and monthly shots of either Repatha or a dummy solution. Ultrasound images were taken of an artery with plaque at the start of the trial and 18 months later. The average for bad cholesterol stayed around 93 for people given only the statin, but dropped to 37 for those on
Careers
both drugs. The amount of artery plaque stayed about the same for the statin-only group but shrank 1 percent in those also given Repatha. Some people with more dramatic LDL declines saw plaque shrink 2 percent. “It’s small, but it probably took patients 60 years to accumulate that plaque,” so to see any change after just 18 months of treatment is good, said a cholesterol expert, Dr. Raul Santos of the University of Sao Paolo.

Dr. Vincent Bufalino, president of Advocate Medical Group, a large cardiology group in suburban Chicago, agreed. “It sounds small but it’s a beginning” and still a win, he said. Amgen sponsored the study, and Santos has consulted for the company. Nissen said his fees for doing the study were donated to charity. The best test of the new drugs’ value will be large studies underway now to see whether drops in cholesterol will lead to fewer heart attacks and deaths. Results are expected next year. Also at the conference, doctors gave results of a safety study of an experimental treatment aimed at rapidly removing cholesterol after a heart attack

to help prevent a second one. “When you have a heart attack, your ability to get cholesterol out of plaque is actually worsened. Your plaques grow more plump ... the pipes are getting even more clogged,” said Dr. C. Michael Gibson, professor of medicine at Harvard University. He led a study in 1,250 people testing infusions of ApoA-1, the main component of HDL, or good cholesterol, which helps remove the bad kind. The substance is taken directly from human blood, not synthesized in a lab. An earlier version showed side effects on the liver; this one was modified to try to avoid that, and no safety roadblocks were seen, said Gibson, who consults for the treatment’s maker, CSL Behring.

LIFE Childcare alternatives gain popularity Au pair programs offer cultural exchange opportunity BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
F
ederica Foltmann snuck around her living room couch on a recent afternoon in her Castle Pines home. Hiding around the corner was the 6-year-old girl she nannies. When Foltmann caught up, the shy but curious girl buried her face into Foltmann’s stomach and gave her a tight hug. Foltmann hugged her back, talking to her in Italian-accented English. It’s all in a day’s work for the 20-yearold Brescia, Italy native, and all part of the experience in coming to the United States to work as an au pair. Au pairs are a type of in-home childcare provider. The option is one some Denver metro families are choosing over more traditional methods like day cares, relying on relatives to babysit or nannies. Au pairs differ from nannies in that they are typically young adults who have come to the U.S. to care for children as part of a cultural exchange experience. Numerous agencies place au pairs in the city and suburbs. The logistics of each program vary. In general, however, au pairs live with the family and work up to 45 hours a week. The host family provides food, a private bedroom and sometimes amenities like cars or cell phones. Foltmann and her host family worked through the agency Cultural Care Au Pair, a nationwide au pair agency run by host parents and former au pairs. Jennifer Morrow, the Cultural Care Au Pair representative for Castle Rock and Castle Pines, said au pair programs can be an educational and economical alternative. Annual costs include registration, processing and program fees and a stipend paid directly to au pairs, totaling nearly $19,000. Nick and Laurie Lazarou, another family using the Cultural Care Au Pair program, have employed au pairs for seven years. Both work demanding jobs and Nick travels often. Having a livein au pair provides them with stable childcare, they said. It also makes time management easier. “We didn’t need to structure our ability to do things based on the availability of other people,” Nick said. The couple and their two children moved from Los Angeles to Castle Pines in the past year. Here, they don’t have relatives to help out, which makes the au pair program all the more useful, they said. When Morrow took over the region in

COLORADO’S COST OF CHILDCARE Locally: Child Care Innovations at Red Rock Community College published data that found the cost of childcare in Douglas County in particular is high.
Statewide: Child Care Aware of America found that for 2016, the cost of center-based childcare for infants in Colorado was $14,950. For fouryear-olds, it was $11,089.
• Compared to Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties, Douglas County had the highest average cost of childcare in both centers and family-based settings for January 2015.
The organization published a study for 2015 comparing the cost of childcare in the U.S. by state. The non-profit focuses on lowering the cost of childcare and furthering education.
• Infant care cost an average of $318 a week in centers. Familybased care cost an average of $206 a week.
The report evaluates factors such as the percent of a family’s income that childcare absorbs and the cost of center-based child-
care. Some of its findings are: • The study placed Colorado in its list of the Top 10 Least Affordable States for Center-based Infant Care in 2014. Colorado ranked No. 5. for center-based childcare for infants. As for center-based care of 4-year-olds, Colorado ranked No. 7 for the least affordable state. • The annual cost of infant centerbased care in Colorado was $13,154. • The annual cost of center-based care for families with an infant
and a 4-year-old was $23,036. • In Colorado, married couples with an infant in a center-based childcare facility can expect those costs to exceed 15 percent of their income. With two children, the cost rises to 26 percent.
• Families living at the poverty line will spend approximately 95 percent of their income on centerbased childcare, and 70 percent on home-based care. • A single parent will pay more than 46 percent of his or her income for infant center-based care.
May, five families were working with au pairs. Now, there are 12. How the program works Au pairs and families in Cultural Care Au Pair are matched through what resembles an online dating service. Once a family, which is personally interviewed by Morrow, is approved for the program, they can browse online profiles of au pairs. Likewise, families create a profile for au pairs to learn about them. When families narrow down their candidate pool, they’ll often Skype with au pairs and conduct interviews. It’s a two-way street, Morrow said. Both families and au pairs must pass background checks and meet program regulations.

Growing up in a record store enhances listening skills
any people say they grew up in a musical family, but I almost always get a few raised eyebrows when I tell people I literally grew up in a record store. My mother owned LINER Wheat Ridge’s NOTES Budget Tapes and CDs for more than 20 years, and I’d often spend nights and weekends there, getting lost among the stacks while she worked. I started working there when I was 16 years old, and it was my job Clarke Reader throughout high school. When she sold it to Angelo’s CDs and More in 2005, I stayed on and worked during college. Every day was devoted to music — helping people rediscover an old favorite or pointing them to their new musical obsession. I was constantly listening to the latest releases and stumbling across important groups to fill in gaps in my musical knowledge.
More than that, I found another family among my coworkers — people with whom I could comfortably argue about the best Bob Dylan album and share what was happening in my life. I miss all of this, and a thousand other little moments that made up my time there. But, as today is Thanksgiving, I also want to express my gratitude for these experiences. This year has been marked by anger, resentment, apprehension and anxiety, in large part driven a particularly vitriolic election. Now that it’s over, it seems many people are feeling worse than before, struggling for something to feel grateful for this holiday. My advice is to honor something simple and personal that fills you with gratitude. For me, that is the record store. My time there taught me to listen. Not just to music, but to my fellow employees and customers. Thanks to my manager Tony and colleague Stephanie, I got into rap music. Because of the tastes of Cody, another employee, I delved into new areas of jazz and indie rock. And working with Wendy for years showed me the pleasures of `80s music and torch singers.
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: A Tribe Called Quest’s “We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” released on Epic records. Review: Just like David Bowie and Leonard Cohen’s releases this year, A Tribe Called Quest’s final album (and first in 18 years) serves as a good-
bye. The group lost lyricist and driving force Phife Dawg in March, and remaining group members Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad send him off in towering style. “We Got It From Here…” contains the same lyrical fireworks and sonic adventurousness that always drove the trio. It’s a lovely parting gift and
glorious coda to a groundbreaking career. Favorite song: “We the People…” Best nod to the future: “Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow/ They are extensions of instinctual soul.”
nity to interact and learn from those who think differently. And, to quote Penny Lane from “Almost Famous,” “If you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”
At the time, I wasn’t interested in most of these genres. But I’m so glad I had the opportunity to learn from others and widen my perspective. I can’t even count the musicians I was turned on to based on recommendations and conversations with customers. The ability to enhance and expand one’s thinking is one of the great powers of music, and the same goes for getting to know other people. Both are going to be so important as we face the challenges ahead. So, be grateful you have the freedom to listen to any music that moves you. Be grateful that you have the opportu-

CHILDCARE: Families are supposed to pay toward educational classes FROM PAGE 16
suing higher education. Others hope to improve their English or simply want to travel. For families, Morrow said, it provides dependable childcare. On both ends, she said there’s opportunity to learn about other cul-tures and form lifelong friendships. The programs are not without controversy. Cultural Care Au Pair families must pay their au pairs a stipend of $195.75 a week. Divide that by the 45 hours au pairs work, and you get a wage of $4.35 an hour. Lawsuits sprung up in 2015 against several agencies in Colorado, including one involving an au pair in Highlands Ranch. The lawsuits alleged that au pair agencies violated Colorado’s minimum wage law. The agencies said minimum wage wasn’t required because room and board was provided by the families. Morrow is well aware of that history. But, she said, she’s never been aware of au pairs in her region being taken advantage of. In addition to the stipend, families are required to pay at least $500 toward educational classes, like community college courses, for their au pairs. ‘The perfect family’ Foltmann was happy with her experience and has chosen to extend her one-year stay by another six months. “I actually found the perfect fam-

Cups runneth over in ancient treatment getting new attention
Parker spa offers treatment favored by Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Most people wouldn’t think to look for innovative technology and wellness treatments in one of Parker’s oldest buildings, but that’s what’s in store at Parker Day & Med Spa. The spa, at 19767 Pikes Peak Ave., blends the old and the new in both its Victorian appearance and the treatments offered within. Cuttingedge tools like lasers and ionic equalizers are combined with ancient treatments like massage and an ancient Asian practice that’s recently gotten recognition: cupping. “There’s definitely been quite a bit more interest in it since the Olympics,” manager Nadia Ker said. Swimming fans may remember Michael Phelps’ bruised physique during the 2016 Games in Rio. Phelps and other cupping proponents claim it relieves muscle pain and decreases tension after they train and compete, giving them a competitive edge. Owner Tina Long said interest in cupping may be new but she’s offered the treatment since 1993. Clients seek the treatment for migraines, improved circulation and carpal tunnel syndrome, among other maladies, she said. Everyday use forces muscles and skin to tighten, she said, and cupping pulls them loose. “It’s literally sucking your tissues up into this cup,” Long said. “It forces stretching within the skin, muscle tissue, fascia, tendons and ligaments.” Folk medicine practitioners have used cupping for centuries with the goal of stimulating the immune system, draining toxins from the body and improving blood flow with bamboo, glass or plastic cups. At Long’s spa, clients begin the treatment by standing on a treadmill-like movement plate that vibrates vigorously to ramp up blood circulation. The next step is lying on a massage table as lasers pass over the client to heal the skin. A massage follows, during which the cups are applied to the back. The cups are gently set on the skin, then a valve is pumped to extract air and create suction. “A lot of people aren’t used to the feeling because it’s a pull, not a push,” said massage therapist Anna Robertson, who likens the technique to the opposite of pushing on pressure points. “It’s kind of a sucking, pinchy feeling,” said Rich Gerber, a seven-year client at the spa who said he’s been getting cupping treatments about once a month for the past 18 to 24 months. Despite increased interest in the procedure, there isn’t much clinical research on cupping’s effectiveness. Researcher Edzard Ernst of the University of Exeter wrote that there
is some evidence that it may relieve pain, but it is difficult to evaluate claims of other health benefits from the practice. But, though he admits he was initially skeptical, Gerber swears by the treatment to relieve pain in his muscles and lower back. “The first time it was like `What are you doing to me?’ ” he said. “But the more and more they did it, the better and better I felt.” One unavoidable side-effect that comes with the treatment is bruising, but Gerber and Long said they generate more laughter than discomfort. Long avoids placing cups on clients’ necks. For some reason, she said, “They don’t want their spouses to see bruises on their necks.”
Rich Gerber shows off the aftereffects of a recent cupping session at Parker Day & Med Spa. Gerber says he and his wife find the treatments relieve pain and tension.

Journey to Thailand is an artistic eye-opener
Sculptor travels to exotic location with teenage son BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On July 1, Highlands Ranch sculptor Shohini Ghosh and her teenage son Shiv flew into bustling Bangkok, Thailand, where she connected with six other international sculptors in answer to a very unique invitation. They were transported northeast, about 310 miles, almost to the Laotian border, to the smaller city of Ubon Rachathani, where they were to participate in the 10th annual Ubon International Wax Symposium — an event developed by the Thai government’s active tourism department to attract even more tourists to the popular 200-year-old traditional candle festival. The festival, she wrote, marks the days of Asanha Puja (which commemorates the Buddha’s first sermon) and Wan Kao Pansa (which marks the beginning of Vassa or rain). “I got to experience a magical land through this 200-year-old festival of candles, she said. Huge wax mythical images are created and paraded through the city. “It is traditional to prepare for the rainy season by giving donations to the monks and candles are said to dispel gloom in the Wat (monastery).” She shared an engaging essay about her experience and we will quote from it. Each sculptor was assigned a crew from the local vocational college to assist. She worked with a professor, six seniors and an interpreter. She was asked to create a 12½-foot-
tall image of her popular sculpture, “The Red Dress,” (a smaller bronze edition dances next to Hudson Gardens’ Victorian Lily Pond in Littleton.) Others invited included Mikhail Sobolev, Russia; Lorena Olivares, Chile; Karlis Lle, Latvia; Manuel Diaz Castedo, Spain; Julia Huang, Taiwan; and Vinh Nguyen, Vietnam. “My fun-loving and dedicated group got to work almost immediately” in assigned studio space. They built a wire armature, layered plaster and finally loaded wax tiles on the basic frame. Layers of warm pliant colored wax came next as the creation took shape (dyed red for that dress). Ghosh is accustomed to using lost wax technique in creating her bronze sculptures, but had not used it on this scale. It got hard enough to cut with a saw before smoothing the surface, she said. “The whole process took 16 days, after which the artists were treated to two days of sightseeing and tour out of town. We returned to a cleaned-up work site and spruced-up venue for our exhibition to be open to the public.” (On the gardenlike museum grounds.) “Our sculptures were presented beautifully in a sound/ light spectacular called `The Music of Light.’” A happy sidelight was the closeness developed with her team — “a fun-loving dedicated group of mostly teenagers who taught me the art of snacking continuously. Being a mom, I had grown out of that phase of life … They introduced me to Thai snacks, which like in most Eastern countries are not pre-made, packed or found on grocery store shelves. They are fresh sweet and savory delights ranging from Lotus seed, yum, to meats and
fish on a stick, crispy crepes with melted marshmallow and coconut shavings, roasted bananas, steamed bananas and coconut cakes served up in palm leaf bowls and the famous papaya salad with soft shell crabs for garnish. There were millions more which would probably take months to taste … “The food in Thailand is legendary but the customs are what are so exotic. Being Indian myself and finding the customs exotic is saying a lot. You are served with a sauce of red Thai chili in vinegar at every eatery/restaurant or food stall. Red Thai chili is not just a vegetable but an intrinsic ingredient in all foods …” A special understanding also grew out of the experience. “The people of Thailand have the most unrushed temperament. I experienced it firsthand while stuck in traffic for three hours in a taxi and I realized I had not heard a single horn around me thanks to the Buddhist culture or concept of acceptance that was amazing. “The Thai smile is a thing, everyone has that knack of exercising that skill — a smile that touches your eyes and believe me, it’s contagious … Thailand has adopted the name of Land of Smiles … “My invitation to Thailand to the Ubon International Wax Festival was spectacular and satisfying for the artist in me as well as the traveler in me … After traveling for my sculptures around the world I strongly believe that art is a universal unifier and it

‘A Christmas Story’ is delight Town Hall Arts Center hosts iconic holiday fare BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The spotlight at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center turns on a grumpylooking Santa ringing a bell as Hohman, Indiana townsfolk mostly pass by ignoring him. The opening announcement is made by kids and the audience is filled with a happy shorter set, who get to enjoy a delightful version of “A Christmas Story,” based on author/ radio and TV personality Jean Shepherd’s memories of his Midwestern childhood. His well-known book “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash” and other writings were made into the beloved 1983 film that is part of our cultural fabric. Actor Scott McLean is a warm, loving narrator, Jean Shepherd, who recalls his early days. Town Hall Arts Center presents a musical version, with book by Joseph Robinette, music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Seasoned director Nick Sugar gives the production his special tongue-in-cheek aura which makes for a happy experience for all involved. Kelly Kates added her choreographic skills to Sugar’s, delivering a polished, well-rehearsed group of tapping kids. There is even a skillfully tapping bully, Scut Farkus, played by Joshua Cellar a musical theater student at Valor Conservatory for the Arts. Kaden Hinkle, who plays Ralphie, Shepherd’s younger self, is an experienced young professional actor who performed this role in a national tour and was seen in Denver as Young Tarzan and in numerous other roles.

shot Range Model air rifle — and his imaginative ideas for achieving that goal, despite being told by most adults that he’d “shoot his eye out.” He hears it from Mom, Dad, his teacher, Miss Shields and even from Santa. The play consists of several segments: at home and school and in front of the department store where the desired item is displayed. It’s dated, but fun to watch as “the old man,” Ralphie’s dad, played by Keegan Flaugh, enters a national crossword puzzle contest and wins a “Major National Award.” The large crate is delivered, revealing that leg lamp, which has become such a national symbol. One young woman we met has it tattooed on her shoulder. (A bonding thing with her dad, who also has one, she told us!) And I have a neighbor who displays one each holiday season in a front window. The whole production is keyed to that cozy sense of sharing a treasured community joke and it works beautifully. Another storyline involves the hounds at the next door neighbors (Bumpuses), who howl and bark every time the Old Man comes home. A lovely chocolate Lab named Bosco Fairbairn (his girl Sydney also performs) pursues dad across the stage at one point and eventually does in the Christmas turkey. He deserves all the treats he can get! Little brother Randy (Lorenzo Giovanetti) is a funny, food-fussy sidekick and Mary McGroary shines as Miss Shields. My favorite scene was the “Ralphie to the Rescue” bit where he imagines all the good deeds he’ll be able to accomplish — if he only has that gun … White furry chaps are a definite plus. This is a perfect family show-ideal holiday fare, although there were a number of smiling senior types there as well when we attended. What’s not to love?

What’s inside the food you eat? Ask the military
Y
ou are hungry. It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten and you’re ready to recruit the family, march to the oven, draft a couple recipes, and attack your plate. And BOOKWORM whatever it is you’ll chow on, you can bet the U.S. military had a hand in it, as you’ll learn in “CombatReady Kitchen” by Anastacia Marx de Salcedo. What’s inside the food you eat? As a “passionate Terri home cook” who Schlichenmeyer devoured cookbooks “like novels,” Anastacia Marx de Salcedo wondered. With two school-age children, she naturally wanted to feed them the most nutritious breakfasts and pack for them the healthiest lunches possible – but while doing some research, she was handed “an unpleasant surprise.” It should come as no big news that the U.S. military has a lot of mouths to feed. In order to do that, an entire department has been toiling for decades to create meals that are nutritious but efficient. What de Salcedo learned was that the government’s methods for making those meals have affected what goes on your table. Thanks to the military, for instance, we consume granola bars (meant to give soldiers an easily-toted energy boost) by the ton. We know what foods remain tasty, packed in (and stored for years in) tin cans. We enjoy freeze-dried produce at breakfast, but not on our sandwiches; researchers tried to freeze-dry meat but soldiers hated it. Because the military saw that microwaves worked well to heat food, those appliances are ubiquitous in our kitchens. Uncle Sam finessed methods for moving meat to far-flung eaters, which affects the way we buy our pork chops and steaks. Our bread, chips, snacks, “practically every bag, box, can, bottle, jar, and carton we buy” has been tinkered with by the U.S. military because it needs commercial food producers to be ready and able to ramp up production quickly in times of war. In other words, says de Salcedo, you and your children are “chowing down like special ops,” just in case. And that, she believes, isn’t the healthiest idea we’ve ever deployed. Certainly, you love to eat. You

might even enjoy making said meal, but will that which you read in “Combat-Ready Kitchen” put you at ease? Possibly not, because some of what author Anastacia Marx de Salcedo shares is rather disturbing but surprisingly… not surprising. Using that conundrum, de Salcedo takes readers back to ancient times, helpfully explaining how the feeding of Roman troops has evolved into the grab-and-go we enlist at home. In describing somewhat of a historical timeline mixed with an untangling of modern technology, de Salcedo eventually leads us to her conclusion of why military messing isn’t good for civilians – even though it’s almost necessary – and then she peeks into the future. Be aware that this book is filled with everything you forgot from high school science class, and it’s a mess of acronyms. My advice, therefore – and especially if you love to eat and like to know where your food comes from – is to try “Combat-Ready Kitchen,” but take it in small bites.

Some cancer medications may pose rare cardiac risks BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Doctors have found a disturbing downside to some powerful new drugs that harness the immune system to fight cancer: In rare cases, they may cause potentially fatal heart damage, especially when used together. “The problem is, no one has this on their radar,” so patients are not routinely checked for it, said Dr. Javid Moslehi, head of a Vanderbilt University clinic specializing in heart risks from cancer therapies. He led a report Nov. 2 in the New England Journal of Medicine describing two patients who died of heart trouble two weeks after receiving their first doses of two Bristol-Myers Squibb drugs, Opdivo and Yervoy, for the deadly skin cancer
melanoma. Two similar drugs also are on the market, and the study leaders believe they might pose heart risks, too. “My sense is that this is a class effect, not limited to one drug,” Moslehi said. The risks do not negate the huge benefits of these relatively new types of drugs, doctors stress. Called checkpoint inhibitors, they have transformed treatment of several types of cancer by helping the immune system see and attack tumors. In rare cases, the immune system seems to attack not only the tumor but also the heart and other muscles, causing dangerous inflammation and heart rhythm problems. Patients need to be told of the risks, monitored closely and treated quickly with medicines to quell
the immune response if trouble develops. Besides melanoma, the Opdivo-Yervoy combination is used to treat some lung cancers, though at different doses. Other checkpoint inhibitors include Genentech’s Tecentriq, for bladder cancer, and Merck & Co.’s Keytruda, which former President Jimmy Carter received for melanoma that spread to his brain. Many more are in testing. There have been occasional, previous reports of heart troubles with these drugs. After the two recent deaths, doctors asked Bristol-Myers to check patient safety records on Opdivo and Yervoy. As of April, 18 cases of serious heart inflammation were found among 20,594 patients receiving either or both drugs,
a rate of 0.09 percent. It was more severe and more common among people on both drugs, affecting 0.27 percent of those patients. Bristol-Myers scientists helped write the journal report, and some other authors consult for the company. Studies have shown that the drug combination gives a stronger anti-cancer effect than either drug alone, but “we’ve known this is a double-edged sword” because of the risk of over-stimulating the immune system, said Dr. Jeffrey Sosman of Northwestern University in Chicago, who treated the two patients who died. “The big question is, is there enough advantage to using the combination, which is much more toxic, than a single drug,” he said. That’s a larger question
facing the cancer field, not just with immune therapies. Some of the newer gene-targeting drugs also have produced major side effects when used in combination. Yet many doctors believe that combos may be the best way to get cancer to go into remission and stay there longer, by shutting down multiple pathways the tumor employs at once. Dr. Michael Atkins, deputy director of the GeorgetownLombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, believes the heart problems with checkpoint inhibitors will turn out to be treatable in most patients. “It just gives us a moment of pause,” said Atkins, who led a study that included one of the two patients who died. “This is a rare event ... but it’s a particularly serious one.”

Legacy lives on in Nancy’s Market and Garden Parker community honors Nancy Gripman for her dedication to community
Pastor Randy Jessen of parker United Methodist Church blesses a statue of Nancy Gripman at a dedication ceremony at O’Brien Park on Nov. 12. Gripman founded the Parker Task Force almost 30 years ago and was an avid gardener. TOM SKELLEY
BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Nancy Gripman wasn’t very tall, but she left a big mark on the town of Parker. After moving to Parker in 1981, Gripman immersed herself in efforts to make the town a better place for families less fortunate than her own. After more than 30 years of charitable work through the Parker Task Force food bank and a community garden, Gripman died in December 2015 at age 86. But on Nov. 12, family members, city officials and members of the Parker Task Force and the Rotary Club of Parker made sure her legacy will be apparent to future generations, just as her life’s work helped so many in years past. Gripman was honored first at O’Brien Park, as nearly a hundred people attended the dedication of a statue in her likeness. Gripman developed her green thumb and learned about xeriscaping through the Douglas County master gardener program, and the bronze sculpture depicts Gripman looking up from her gardening work to say hello. Titled “Nancy’s Garden,” the bronze piece was created by Parker sculptor Don Budy. “Parker was Nancy’s garden. Colorado was Nancy’s garden,” Budy said. “My hope is that as you walk by the sculpture you’ll stop and say `Hi, Nancy.’ ” Two hours later at the Parker Task Force building at 19105 Long’s Way, a sign was dedicated in the building’s free grocery store, known henceforth as Nancy’s Market. The more intimate ceremony celebrated the dedication and a $150,000 contribution to the food bank from Gripman’s family. The task force, now in its 29th year, began in Gripman’s barn on Inspiration Drive. She had big hopes for a charitable, volunteer-run food bank that would provide assistance and resources for families in need. But she originally kept her goals and plans to herself.

Eaagle Scout Matthew Belter stands beside the Nancy’s Market sign at the Parker Task Force food bank on Nov. 12. Belter coordinated the sign’s construction for a service project to become an Eagle Scout. TOM SKELLEY “I woke up one morning and looked out the window and my barn was full of people,” said Bill Gripman, Nancy’s husband, describing how he first found out about the food bank. Parker Task Force President Steve Budnack commented on Gripman’s dedication to service and the impact the
group continues to have on more than 400 families in Parker as he and Bill dedicated the sign and a commemorative plaque. “Here we are almost 30 years later,” Budnack said, “because some of the programs she put in place, they worked.”

Klein honored for second year in row after leading league

Local athletes excel at next level

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parker Klein was a marked soccer player this season but the Ponderosa senior still succeeded. After leading the Continental League in scoring as a junior with 20 goals and 49 points, he once again was the top scorer in SOUTH METRO the league during ATHLETE the 2016 season OF THE YEAR: with 17 goals and nine assists, BOYS SOCCER despite heavy defensive pressure from opposing defenders. “I dealt with that a little bit last year and a lot this year, but I loved being marked because it brings out the best of my play, just knowing there is a guy always following me and waiting for me to do something,” said Klein. “It really propels my game to the highest level because I know I have to beat that guy and do what I have to do to get the ball and make things happen.” For the second straight season, Klein has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year. Ponderosa coach Jim Engels maintains Klein is the best player he has coached in 17 seasons. “I took on a much bigger leadership role this year,” explained Klein. “Losing a few guys that were the leaders last year really gave me a chance to step in and lead by example.

KEEPING SCORE WITH... DAVID OPHEIM What is your favorite movie? “Miracle.” Because it is such an inspirational movie that focused on one of the greatest moments in sports history for the United States. The movie transcends athletics and illustrates a victorious outcome that was accomplished through struggle and unbelievable odds. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? Gogurt. Because I am always watching my weight and I can eat a lot of gogurt and get different flavors. Plus, it’s good soft or frozen.
Opheim
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Dan Gable. Because he was the greatest wrestler and coach ever. Hardcore and humble.
Why do you participate in sports? Because I can create my own destiny. I will get out what I put in. I am in total control of the outcome. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Yes, I pace. I pace and pace and pace. I don’t know why I pace, I just pace. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I will be attending Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, to wrestle and pursue a degree in elementary education. I want to be a teacher and coach because nearly all of the influential people in my life outside of my family have been my teachers and coaches. I want to have a positive impact on kids and make a difference in their lives. Plus, I want to have summers off so I can fish!
KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.
lumni reports are always difficult because you don’t want to overlook somebody who should have been mentioned. But here goes an attempt to highlight OVERTIME some former area high school players who are doing well in collegiate athletics. • Wyoming’s football team has numerous Colorado players on its roster, including sophomore free safety Andrew Jim Benton Wingard from Ralston Valley. Wingard leads the Mountain West Conference with 9.9 tackles a game and is 12th nationally. He is the NCAA’s leader in career tackles per game at 10.05 and career solo tackles per game at 6.36. Connor Cain, a sophomore from Heritage, has started nine of 10 games at defensive tackle and Drew Van Maanen, a junior from Chaparral, is listed as the starting fullback when the Cowboys have one in their offensive formation to start a game. • Senior offensive guard Alex Kozan, a Valor Christian graduate, has started 37 games at Auburn. • Olabisi Johnson, a sophomore from Bear Creek, is Colorado State University’s second leading receiver this season with 20 catches for 340 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Wyatt Bryan from Douglas County is the Rams’ placekicker and senior Paul Thurston, an Arvada West graduate who transferred from Nebraska, is the starting left guard. Jakob Buys, a junior from Ralston Valley, is a starting defensive tackle for CSU. Junior Jake Bennett from Bear Creek is the Rams’ standout center. • The University of Colorado also has several players from area high schools who have seen game action, with senior Auburn transfer Shane Callahan of Chaparral, who played in 13 games in 2015, starting on the offensive line for the first time Nov. 12 against Arizona. • Valor graduate Christian McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup, remains the all-purpose player to watch this season at Stanford. And former Valor quarterback Luke Del Rio, a redshirt sophomore, sprained his knee, but the Gators starting quarterback expects to play Nov. 19 against LSU. • According to an October story, MaxPreps listed the Colorado high schools with the most players on 2016 college football rosters at the D-I, D-II, D-III and NAIA levels. Valor topped the inventory with 31 players followed by Cherry Creek with 30, Grandview with 24, Columbine with 18 and Pine Creek with 17. Ralston Valley and Cherokee Trail had 16 each.

Tennis champ credits maturity for sports success Hillis takes honors after winning 5A state crown BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ethan Hillis played with maturity and confidence this season, and Cherry Creek’s No. 1 singles player posted a 15-0 record with all straight set victories. He also was crowned the Class 5A state champion at No. 1 singles and helped Cherry SOUTH METRO Creek win the ATHLETE team title for the OF THE YEAR: sixth consecutive BOYS TENNIS year and 42nd time in 45 years. Hillis, a senior who will play tennis and attend Amherst College next fall, has been named the 2016 Colorado Community Media Boys Tennis Player of the Year. “I thought the season went really well,” said Hillis. “I was playing confidently. I had a lot of confidence in myself that I would be able to do well all year and take state. I was playing consistently throughout the whole year.” Hillis didn’t play high school tennis in 2015 and believes the year off

dealt to an emotional Hillis. “I was still playing last year, I just didn’t play high school tennis just for the time and academic stakes,” explained Hillis. “I felt my mental game was much improved this season versus sophomore, junior and freshman year. “I was mentally stronger. It did take a lot of work but I think a lot of it was just maturing and just getting older. Obviously changing anything is difficult, especially personality and just mentally more so than anything else. A lot of it was maturity.” Hillis didn’t lose a set in the state tournament and took only 40 minutes to down Overland’s Dawid Kijak, 6-0, 6-1, in the Oct. 15 finals at the Gates Tennis Center. He felt the hardest matches this season were against his friend Casey Ross of Kent Denver, the No. 1 player in the United States Tennis Association’s Intermountain Boys 18 singles rankings. Hillis downed Ross, 6-4, 6-3, on Sept. 17 and followed Sept. 21 with a 6-2, 6-3 victory. “The toughest matches of the year were against Casey Ross,” said Hillis. “He’s ranked No. 1 in the USTA and I’m ranked two. He gave me the toughest matches but I beat him both times I played him this season. I’ve always played well against him. He brings out the best in me. I just elevated my game.”

SOCCER: Ponderosa senior undecided on college choice, declines U.S. academy role
BENTON: High school sports committee puts emphasis on team’s winning percentage FROM PAGE 31
FROM PAGE 31
“The season went really good. I felt good again this year. I had a good year last year and I was really excited to build upon that and improve myself as a player and leader.” Klein, who is still undecided about a college choice, declined an offer to play U.S. Soccer Development Academy soccer this fall. “I chose to play high school soccer this year,” he said. “I was offered an Academy spot and that might have dampened my recruiting efforts a little bit, but at the end of the day I chose what was right for me and what’s going to bring out the love I have for the game. I still think I made the right decision choosing high school.”

• And looking ahead to basketball, keep an eye on CU senior Derrick White, a Legend graduate who transferred from CU-Colorado Springs. At the University of Denver, junior Jake Pemberton from Mountain Vista and sophomore Thomas Neff from Arvada West could be a couple of the area players that could have an impact. Ciera Morgan, a junior from Highlands Ranch, will be one of the leaders for the Pioneers’ women’s team. More recommendations All the Colorado High School Activities Association’s sports committees are coming up with recommendations about such things as exploring changes to postseason formats and ugh, possibly adding another class, which would be awful. Last spring, baseball was the first to use the Ratings Percentage Index for
postseason berths, but the committee recommended a welcomed change in the formula to put more emphasis on a team’s winning percentage. Regional tournament recommendations in Class 5A include having only two teams from the same league host tournaments. No changes were made to the pitchcount rule in baseball, but hopefully CHSAA will come up with a way to avoid the couple conflicts that occurred last season. Having small pitch-count scoreboards like the one used by Douglas County High School sure seems like a way to avoid disagreements in games before the final out.

The Paying Agent may make payments of interest on any Bond by such alternative means as may be mutually agreed to between the Owner of such Bond and the Paying Agent; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to make funds available to the Paying Agent prior to the payment dates stated in this Section. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America without deduction for the services of the Paying Agent or Registrar. (b) The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign on thirty days prior written notice to the City and the Bond Insurer, provided that no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Registrar and Paying Agent, acceptable to the Bond Insurer, is appointed. The City, with consent of the Bond Insurer, or the Bond Insurer, at any time may reasonably determine that the Registrar or Paying Agent is incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder and may remove it, upon thirty days prior written notice. If the Registrar or Paying Agent initially appointed hereunder shall resign, or shall be removed, the City may, upon notice mailed to the Bond Insurer and to each Owner at his or her address last shown on the registration records, appoint a successor, acceptable to the Bond Insurer, to such Registrar or Paying Agent. Every such successor Registrar or Paying Agent shall be a bank or trust company located in and in good standing in the United States and having shareholders’ equity (e.g., capital stock, surplus and profits), however denominated, not less than $10,000,000. It shall not be required that the
same institution serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder, but the City shall have the right to have the same institution serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder. Section 7. Prior Redemption. (a) Optional Prior Redemption. The Bonds designated in the Sale Certificate, if any, will be subject to redemption at the option of the City from any legally available funds on the dates set forth in the Sale Certificate in whole, or in part from any maturities, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity from Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate, in such manner as the City may determine (giving proportionate weight to Bonds in denominations larger than $5,000), at the price set forth in the Sale Certificate, subject to the parameters and restrictions of this Ordinance. The Registrar shall not be required to give notice of any such optional redemption unless it has received written instructions from the City in regard thereto at least sixty days prior to such redemption date. (b) Mandatory Redemption. The Term Bonds, if any, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, at the times, in the amounts and at the prices provided in the Sale Certificate. On or before thirty (30) days prior to each sinking fund installment date, the Registrar shall, without any notice or instruction from the City, proceed to call the Term Bonds (or any Term Bond or Term Bonds issued to replace such Term Bonds) for redemption from the sinking fund on the next mandatory sinking fund redemption date, and give notice of such call without other instruction or notice from the City. At its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth (60th) day next preceding each such sinking fund redemption date, the City may (a) deliver to the Registrar for cancellation Term Bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date in an aggregate principal amount desired or (b) receive a credit in respect of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any Term Bonds of the same maturity subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date, which prior to said date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Registrar and not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each Term Bond so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited by the Registrar at the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the City on such sinking fund redemption date and the principal amount of Term Bonds to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund on such date will be accordingly reduced. The City will on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund redemption date furnish the Registrar with its certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence are to be availed with respect to such sinking fund payment. Failure of the City to deliver such certificate shall not affect the Registrar’s duty to give notice of sinking fund redemption as provided in this paragraph. (c) Notice. Notice of redemption shall be given by the Registrar in the name of the City by sending a copy of such official notice by first-class, postage prepaid mail, not more than sixty nor less than thirty days prior to the redemption date to the Bond Insurer and each Registered Owner at his address as it last appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar, provided that so long as the Bonds are held by DTC or any other Depository, such notice may be given by electronic means in lieu of mailed notice; but neither failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the redemption of any Bond. Such notice shall identify the Bonds to be so redeemed (if less than all are to be redeemed) and the redemption date, and shall further state that on such redemption date there will become and be due and payable upon each Bond so to be redeemed, at the Paying Agent, the principal amount thereof, any redemption premium, and accrued interest to the redemption date and that from and after such date interest will cease to accrue. Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent and such canceled Bonds shall be delivered by the Paying Agent or Registrar to the City if requested by the City, and shall not be reissued. (d) Partial Redemption. In the case of Bonds of a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) may be redeemed, in which case the Registrar shall, without charge to the owner of such Bond, authenticate and issue a replacement Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion thereof of the same maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal. (e) Conditional Call Provision. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, any notice of optional redemption may contain a statement that
the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the owners of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was mailed. Section 8. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be signed with the facsimile or manual signature of the Mayor or Mayor-Pro Tem of the City, sealed with a facsimile or manual impression of the seal of the City, and attested by the facsimile or manual signature of the City Clerk. Should any officer whose facsimile or manual signature appears on the Bonds cease to be such officer before delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser, such facsimile or manual signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes. Pursuant to Section 11-57-210 of the Supplemental Public Securities Act, the Bonds shall contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to certain provisions of the Supplemental Public Securities Act. Such recital shall be conclusive evidence of the validity and regularity of the issuance of the Bonds after their delivery for value. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form (provided that any of the text of the Bonds may, with appropriate reference, be printed on the back of the Bonds): [Form of Bond] Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the City or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered Owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

The Bond Registrar’s certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an authorized officer or signatory of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder. By authenticating any of the Bonds initially delivered pursuant to this Ordinance, the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall be deemed to have assented to the provisions of, and to have agreed to abide by and to perform the duties provided for them in, this Ordinance.

After the adoption of this Ordinance, the City shall execute the Bonds and deliver them to the Bond Registrar, and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver them to the Purchaser, as directed by the City. Section 11. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) Records for the registration and transfer of the Bonds shall be kept by the Bond Registrar, which is hereby appointed by the City as registrar (i.e., transfer agent) for the Bonds. Upon the surrender for transfer of any Bond at the Principal Operations Office of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Owner or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, the Bond Registrar shall enter such transfer on the registration records and shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Operations Office of the Bond Registrar for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity of other authorized denominations. The Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a Bond or Bonds which the Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. The Bond Registrar may impose reasonable charges in connection with such exchanges and transfers of Bonds, which charges (as well as any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer) shall be paid by the Owner requesting such exchange or transfer. (b) Except as may otherwise be provided with respect to payment of interest pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the person in whose name any Bond shall be registered on the registration records kept by the Bond Registrar shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute Owner thereof for the purpose of making payment thereof and for all other purposes and payment of or on account of principal of, prior redemption premium, if any, and interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Owner thereof or his or her legal representative, but such registration may be changed upon transfer of such Bond in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations provided herein. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (c) The officers of the City are authorized to deliver to the Bond Registrar fully executed but unauthenticated Bonds in such quantities as may be convenient to be held in custody by the Bond Registrar pending use as herein provided. Section 12. Book Entry. (a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Ordinance, the Bonds shall initially be evidenced by one Bond for each maturity date and interest rate at which the Bonds mature in denominations equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing for that maturity date and interest rate. Such initially delivered Bonds shall be registered in the name of “Cede & Co.” as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, the securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds may not thereafter be transferred or exchanged except: (i) to any successor of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, which successor must be both a “clearing corporation” as defined in Section 4-8-102(a)(5), Colorado Revised Statutes and a qualified and registered “clearing agency” under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (ii) upon the resignation of The Depository Trust Company or a successor or new depository under clause (i) or this clause (ii) of this paragraph
(a), or a determination by the Council that The Depository Trust Company or such successor or new depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the designation by the Council of another depository institution acceptable to the Council and to the depository then holding the Bonds, which new depository institution must be both a “clearing corporation” as defined in Section 4-8-102(a)(5), Colorado Revised Statutes and a qualified and registered “clearing agency” under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to carry out the functions of The Depository Trust Company or such successor new depository; or (iii) upon the resignation of The Depository Trust Company or a successor or new depository under clause (i) or clause (ii) of this paragraph (a), or a determination of the Council that The Depository Trust Company or such successor or new depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the failure by the Council, after reasonable investigation, to locate another qualified depository institution under clause (ii) to carry out such depository functions. (b) In the case of a transfer to a successor of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee as referred to in clause (i) of paragraph (a) hereof or designation of a new depository pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (a) hereof, upon receipt of the Outstanding Bonds by the Bond Registrar, together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, a new Bond for each maturity date and interest rate of the Bonds then Outstanding shall be issued to such successor or new depository, as the case may be, or its nominee, as is specified in such written transfer instructions. In the case of a resignation or determination under clause (iii) of paragraph (a) hereof and the failure after reasonable investigation to locate another qualified depository institution for the Bonds as provided in clause (iii) of paragraph (a) hereof, and upon receipt of the Outstanding Bonds by the Bond Registrar, together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, new Bonds shall be issued in the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, as provided in and subject to the limitations of Section 10 hereof, registered in the names of such persons, and in such authorized denominations as are requested in such written transfer instructions; however, the Bond Registrar shall not be required to deliver such new Bonds within a period of less than 60 days from the date of receipt of such written transfer instructions. (c) The Council, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to treat the Owner of any Bond as the absolute Owner thereof for all purposes hereof and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by any or all of them and the Council, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility for transmitting payments to the beneficial owners of the Bonds held by The Depository Trust Company or any successor or new depository named pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof. (d) The Council, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent shall endeavor to cooperate with The Depository Trust Company or any successor or new depository named pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (a) hereof in effectuating payment of the principal amount of the Bonds upon maturity by arranging for payment in such a manner that funds representing such payments are available to the depository on the date they are due. Section 13. Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds. Whenever any Outstanding Bond shall be delivered to the Bond Registrar for payment pursuant to this Ordinance and upon payment of the principal amount and interest represented thereby, such Bond shall be canceled in accordance with the customary practices of the Bond Registrar and applicable retention laws. Whenever any Outstanding Bond shall be delivered to the Bond Registrar for transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof, such Bond shall be canceled in accordance with the customary practices of the Bond Registrar and applicable retention laws. Section 14. Lost Bonds. If any Bond shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Bond Registrar may, upon receipt of such evidence, information and indemnity relating thereto as it or the City may reasonably require, authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. If such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Bond shall have matured, the Bond Registrar may direct that such Bond be paid by the Paying Agent in lieu of replacement. The Bond Registrar and the City may require that the Owner of any such Bond pay their reasonable fees, charges and expenses relating to their activities pursuant to this Section. Section 15. Disposition of Bond Proceeds and Additional Deposits. The Bonds, when executed and registered as provided by law, shall be delivered to the Purchaser as directed by the City, and proceeds derived therefrom shall be used exclusively for the purposes of paying the costs of the Refunding Project, including the costs of issuing the Bonds. After the payment of such costs of the Refunding Project, any unexpended balance of Bond proceeds may be deposited into the Bond Account for the payment of the principal of, prior redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same become due or applied to other lawful uses, subject to the provisions of Section 16 hereof. Neither the Purchaser nor any subsequent Owners of the Bonds shall be responsible for the application or disposal by the City or any of its officers of the funds derived from the sale thereof.
Section 16. Tax Covenant and Rebate Account. (a)The City covenants that it will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Bonds, the proceeds of the Bonds, any other funds of the City or the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds if such action or omission (i) would cause the interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax Code, (ii) would cause the interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Tax Code, except to the extent such interest is required to be included in the adjusted current earnings adjustment applicable to corporations under Section 56 of the Tax Code in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income, or (iii) would cause interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from Colorado taxable income or Colorado alternative minimum taxable income under present Colorado law. The foregoing covenants shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the City in fulfilling the above covenants under the Tax Code and State law have been met. (b) All of the amounts on deposit in any fund or account created under this Ordinance, and all amounts pledged to the payment of the Bonds, shall be invested in compliance with the requirements of Subsection (a) of this Section 16. Amounts on deposit in the Rebate Account shall not be subject to the lien and pledge of this Ordinance, to the extent that such amounts are required to be paid to the United States Treasury. The City shall deposit Pledged Revenues into the Rebate Account as provided in Section 17(e) hereof. Upon receipt of an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that the balance in the Rebate Account is in excess of the amount required by Subsection (a) of this Section 16 to be included therein, such excess shall be withdrawn from the Rebate Account and applied as set forth in Section 16 hereof. Section 17. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Pledged Revenues shall be used in the following manner and order, provided that all payments of principal and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Lien Recreation Bonds required to be made pursuant to this Section 17 shall first be paid from the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues. Anything in this Ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues shall not be used to pay the 2009 Bonds, the 2017B Bonds, or any other Parity Lien Bonds that are not Parity Lien Recreation Bonds. So long as any Bonds shall be Outstanding, either as to principal or interest, the Pledged Revenues shall, upon receipt by the City, be applied as follows: (a) Bond Account. First, there shall be credited from the Pledged Revenues to a special account hereby created, known as the “City of Lone Tree, Colorado, Sales and Use Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds (Recreation Projects), Series 2017A Bond Account,” from the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues, and, if such revenues are insufficient, from General Sales and Use Tax Revenues, the following amounts: (i) Interest Payments. Monthly, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date of delivery of any of the Bonds, an amount in equal monthly installments necessary, together with any other moneys from time to time available therefor from whatever source, to pay the next maturing installment of interest on the Bonds then Outstanding. (ii) Principal Payments. Monthly, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date of delivery of any of the Bonds, or commencing on the first day of the month one year next prior to the first principal payment date of any of the Bonds, whichever commencement date is later, an amount in equal monthly installments necessary, together with any other moneys from time to time available therefor from whatever source, to pay the next installment of principal of the Bonds coming due at maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, if any. If prior to any interest payment date or principal payment date there has been accumulated in the Bond Account the entire amount necessary to pay the next maturing installment of interest or principal, or both, the payment required in paragraph (i) or (ii) (whichever is applicable) of this Section 17(a), may be appropriately reduced; but the required monthly amounts again shall be so credited to such account commencing on such interest payment date or principal payment date. The moneys in the Bond Account shall be used only to pay the principal of, prior redemption premium if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due. Payments from the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues with respect to the 2008A Bonds and any Parity Lien Recreation Bonds hereafter issued may be made to the similar bond account for such 2008A Bonds and any Parity Lien Recreation Bonds on a parity with the payments to the Bond Account set forth in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 17(a) concurrently (but not necessarily simultaneously) with the payment for the Bonds. Payments from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues may be made to the similar bond account for the 2008B Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017B Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds on a parity with the payments to the Bond Account set forth in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 17(a) concurrently (but not necessarily simultaneously)
with the payment for the Bonds. (b) Reserve Account. Second, except as hereinafter provided, from any remaining Pledged Revenues there shall be credited monthly to a special account hereby created and known as the “City of Lone Tree, Colorado, Sales and Use Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds (Recreation Projects), Series 2017A Reserve Account” an amount, if any, which is necessary to maintain the Reserve Account as a continuing reserve in an amount not less than the Reserve Account Requirement or to pay the issuer of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy any amounts owing to such issuer under the terms of the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy. At the time of issuance of the Bonds, no funds shall be required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account. No later than the last day of February in each year, the City Manager shall calculate the coverage of the Pledged Revenues received during the preceding Fiscal Year over the Maximum Annual Combined Debt Service Requirement. Such calculations shall be filed with the City Clerk promptly upon completion. In the event that, according to such calculation, the Pledged Revenues received in any Fiscal Year are less than three times the Maximum Annual Combined Debt Service Requirement, the City shall, immediately upon the filing thereof, commence funding the Reserve Account monthly so that no later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of such filing, the amount accumulated in the Reserve Account is equal to the Reserve Account Requirement. The City may cease funding the Reserve Account and will be entitled to withdraw any moneys deposited therein if the calculation performed in any future Fiscal Year shows three or more times coverage was in fact attained. In determining the amounts required to be deposited as provided in this Section 17(b), the City shall receive credit for any investment earnings on the deposit in the Reserve Account. No credit need be made to the Reserve Account so long as the moneys and/or a Bond Reserve Insurance Policy therein equal the Reserve Account Requirement (regardless of the source of such accumulations). The Reserve Account Requirement shall be accumulated and maintained as a continuing reserve to be used, except as provided in subsections (c) and (e) of this Section 17 and Section 20 hereof, only to prevent deficiencies in the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds resulting from the failure to credit to the Bond Account sufficient funds to pay said principal and interest as the same accrue or to pay the issuer of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy any amounts owing to such issuer under the terms of the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy. The Reserve Account Requirement shall be calculated upon (i) any principal payment, whether at stated maturity or upon redemption, (ii) the issuance of Additional Obligations, (iii) the defeasance of all or a portion of the Bonds, or (iv) whenever the City is required to fund the Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 17(b). In lieu of all or a portion of the moneys required to be deposited in the Reserve Account by this Ordinance, the City may at any time or from time to time deposit a Bond Reserve Insurance Policy in the Reserve Account in full or partial satisfaction of the Reserve Account Requirement. Any such Bond Reserve Insurance Policy shall be payable (or available to be drawn upon) on any date on which moneys will be required to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account as provided herein. Upon deposit of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy in the Reserve Account, the City may transfer moneys equal to the amount payable under the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy from the Reserve Account and apply such moneys to any lawful purpose, subject to the provisions of Section 16 hereof. (c) Termination of Deposits to Maturity or Redemption Date. No payment of Pledged Revenues need be made into the Bond Account or the Reserve Account if the amount in the Bond Account and the Reserve Account totals a sum at least equal to the entire amount of the Outstanding Bonds both as to principal and interest to their respective maturities, or to any redemption date on which the City shall have exercised its option to redeem the Bonds then Outstanding and thereafter maturing, including any prior redemption premiums then due, and both accrued and not accrued, in which case moneys in said accounts in an amount at least equal to such principal and interest requirements shall be used solely to pay such as the same accrue, and any moneys in excess thereof in said accounts may be withdrawn and used for any lawful purpose, subject to Section 16 hereof. (d) Defraying Delinquencies in Bond and Reserve Accounts. If, five days before any interest payment date or principal payment date for the Bonds, there are insufficient funds on deposit in the Bond Account to pay the principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due on such date, then, to the extent of any amounts then in the Reserve Account, a sufficient amount shall be paid into the Bond Account on such date from the Reserve Account exclusively to make such payments on the Bonds. The money, if any, so used shall be replaced in the Reserve Account from the first Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues received that are not required to be otherwise applied by this Section 17, but excluding any payments required for any Subordinate Lien Recreation Bonds, on a parity basis with any similar deposits required for any Parity Lien Recreation Bonds; provided, however, that an amount equal to the amount withdrawn from the Reserve Account shall be deposited by the City into the Reserve Account no later than twelve months from the date of such withdrawal. If the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues received are insufficient to make the deposits set forth in the preceding sentence, the City shall

The City hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees with each and every Owner of the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding: (a) It will not amend or repeal any provision of the Code in any way that would materially adversely affect the amount of Pledged Revenues which would otherwise be collected. However, nothing herein shall prevent the City from amending the Code to permit sales or use tax credits to retailers or vendors in association with the collection by such retailers or vendors of a public improvement fee or similar fee or charge imposed by a covenant on the land on which the retailer or vendor conducts business in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such sales or use tax credits to fund public improvements benefiting new retail development, the construction of which shall commence after the date hereof. (b) It will administer, enforce, and collect, or cause to be administered, enforced, and collected, the sales and use tax authorized by the Code, and shall take such necessary action to collect delinquent payments as shall be authorized by the Code and in accordance with law. (c) It will keep books and records showing the Pledged Revenues received, in which complete entries shall be made in accordance with standard principles of accounting, and any Owner of any of the Bonds shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the records and accounts relating to the collection and receipt of such Pledged Revenues.

(ii) Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed in such manner as to prevent the issuance of Parity Lien Bonds by the City; provided that: (1) the City is current in the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds, the 2008A Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017B Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds and in the accumulation of any required amounts in the Reserve Account and the similar reserve accounts for the Bonds, the 2008A Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017B Bonds and any Parity Lien Bonds; (2) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (3) the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues collected or received by the City in the last preceding Fiscal Year are sufficient to cover two times the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement. In determining the Maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement as described above, there shall be included the maximum amount of all required payments of principal and interest on the proposed Parity Lien Bonds which will become due in any Fiscal Year, and mandatory sinking fund redemption installments shall be treated as serial principal maturities. In the event that the municipal sales and use tax has been increased during the preceding or current Fiscal Year and if such increase is pledged to pay the proposed Parity Lien Bonds, then the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues for the last preceding Fiscal Year may be adjusted by applying the new percentage to the amount of sales and use
taxes actually collected during such prior Fiscal Year, for the purpose of determining compliance with clause (3) of this Subsection. (iii) If at any time after the Bonds, or any part thereof, shall have been issued and remain Outstanding, the City shall find it desirable to refund any Outstanding obligations payable from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues, said obligations, or any part thereof, may be refunded, subject to the following provisions. Any refunding obligations payable in whole or in part from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues shall be issued with such details as the Council may provide, so long as there is no impairment of any contractual obligations imposed upon the City; but if only a part of the Outstanding obligations payable from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues is refunded, then such securities may not be refunded without the consent of the Owner or Owners of the unrefunded portion of such obligations unless: (1) the refunding obligations do not increase, for any Fiscal Year in which any Bonds will be Outstanding, the aggregate principal and interest requirements evidenced by such refunding obligations and by the Outstanding obligations payable from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues and not refunded, and the lien of the refunding obligations on the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues is not raised to a higher priority than the lien thereon of the obligations thereby refunded; or (2) the lien on the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues for the payment of the refunding obligations is subordinate to each such lien for the payment of any Bonds not refunded; or (3) the refunding obligations are issued in compliance with paragraph (iii) of this Section 19(a). (iv) Nothing herein shall prevent the City from issuing Subordinate Lien Bonds. (b) Additional Obligations Payable solely from Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues but not General Sales and Use Tax Revenues: (i) No bonds, notes, certificates, contracts, or other similar obligations shall be issued payable in whole or in part from Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues but not General Sales and Use Tax Revenues and having a lien thereon which is prior or superior to the lien of the Bonds.

In the event that the City’s park and recreation sales and use tax has been increased during the preceding or current Fiscal Year and if such increase is pledged to pay the proposed Parity Lien Recreation Bonds, then the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues for the last preceding Fiscal Year may be adjusted by applying the new percentage to the amount of park and recreation sales and use taxes actually collected during such prior Fiscal Year, for the purpose of determining compliance with clause (3) of this Subsection.
(2) the lien on the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues for the payment of the refunding obligations is subordinate to each such lien for the payment of any Bonds not refunded; or (3) the refunding obligations are issued in compliance with paragraph (ii) of this Section 19(b). (iv) Nothing herein shall prevent the City from issuing Subordinate Lien Recreation Bonds. (c) Additional Obligations Payable from Pledged Revenues: (i) No bonds, notes, certificates, contracts, or other similar obligations shall be issued payable from the Pledged Revenues and having a lien thereon which is prior or superior to the lien of the Bonds.

In determining the Maximum Annual Combined Debt Service Requirement as described above, there shall be included therein the maximum amount of all required payments of principal and interest on the proposed obligations which will become due in any Fiscal Year, and mandatory sinking fund redemption installments shall be treated as serial principal maturities. (iii) If at any time after the Bonds, or any part thereof, shall have been issued and remain Outstanding, the City shall find it desirable to refund any Outstanding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues, said obligations, or any part thereof, may be refunded, subject to the following provisions. Any refunding obligations payable in whole or in part from the Pledged Revenues shall be issued with such details as the Council may provide, so long as there is no impairment of any contractual obligations imposed upon the City; but if only a part of the Outstanding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues is refunded, then such securities may not be refunded without the consent of the Owner or Owners of the unrefunded portion of such obligations unless: (1) the refunding obligations do not increase, for any Fiscal Year in which any Bonds will be Outstanding, the aggregate principal and interest requirements evidenced by such refunding obligations and by the Outstanding obligations payable from the Pledged Revenues and not refunded, and the lien of the refunding obligations on the Pledged Revenues is not raised to a higher priority than the lien thereon of the obligations thereby refunded; or (2) the lien on the Pledged Revenues for the payment of the refunding obligations is subordinate to each such lien for the payment of any Bonds not refunded; or (3) the refunding obligations are issued in compliance with paragraph (ii) of this Section 19(c).

(iii) If at any time after the Bonds, or any part thereof, shall have been issued and remain Outstanding, the City shall find it desirable to refund any Outstanding obligations payable in whole or in part from Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues but not General Sales and Use Tax Revenues, said obligations, or any part thereof, may be refunded, subject to the following provisions.

(d) For purposes of this Section 19, variable rate Additional Obligations issued pursuant hereto shall be assumed to bear interest at the highest of: (i) the actual rate on the date of calculation, or if the indebtedness is not yet Outstanding, the initial rate (if established and binding); (ii) if the indebtedness has been Outstanding for at least twelve months, the average rate over the twelve months immediately preceding the date of calculation; and (iii) (1) if interest on the indebtedness is excludable from gross income under the applicable provisions of the Tax Code, the most recently published Bond Buyer 25 Bond Revenue Index (or comparable index if no longer published) plus fifty (50) basis points, or (2) if interest is not so excludable, the interest rate on direct U.S. Treasury obligations with comparable maturities plus fifty (50) basis points. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of any rate covenant measuring actual debt service coverage during a test period, variable rate indebtedness shall be deemed to bear interest at the actual rate per annum applicable during the test period.
(1) the refunding obligations do not increase, for any Fiscal Year in which any Bonds will be Outstanding, the aggregate principal and interest requirements evidenced by such refunding obligations and by the Outstanding obligations payable in whole or in part from Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues but not General Sales and Use Tax Revenues and not refunded, and the lien of the refunding obligations on the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues is not raised to a higher priority than the lien thereon of the obligations thereby refunded; or
Section 20. Defeasance. When all principal of, prior redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds have been duly paid, the pledge and lien and all obligations hereunder shall thereby be discharged and the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding within the meaning of this Ordinance. Such due payment of any Bond shall be deemed made when the City has placed in escrow and in trust with a commercial bank located within or without the State of Colorado, and exercising trust powers, an amount sufficient (including the known minimum yield from Federal
Securities in which such amount may be initially invested) to meet all requirements of principal, prior redemption premium, if any, and interest on such Bond as the same become due to their final maturity or designated prior redemption date, and if any Bond is to be redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, when the City has given to the Registrar irrevocable written instructions to give notice of prior redemption in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof. The Federal Securities shall become due at or prior to the respective times on which the proceeds thereof shall be needed, in accordance with a schedule established and agreed upon between the City and such bank at the time of the creation of the escrow and shall not be callable prior to their scheduled maturities by the issuer thereof. The investment of the amounts deposited in the escrow shall comply with Section 16 hereof. In the event that there is a defeasance of only part of the Bonds of any maturity, the Bond Registrar shall, if requested by the City, institute a system to preserve the identity of the individual Bonds or portions thereof so defeased, regardless of changes in Bond numbers attributable to transfers and exchanges of Bonds; and the Bond Registrar shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses from the City in connection with such system. Section 21. Amendment. (a) The City may, without the consent of, or notice to the Owners of the Bonds, but with the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer, so long as the Bond Insurer is not in default of its payment obligations under the Bond Insurance Policy, adopt such ordinances supplemental hereto (which supplemental amendments shall thereafter form a part hereof) for any one or more or all of the following purposes: (i) to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any defect or omission or inconsistent provision contained in this Ordinance, or to make any provisions with respect to matters arising under this Ordinance or for any other purpose if such provisions are necessary or desirable and do not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds; (ii) to subject to the lien of this Ordinance additional revenues, properties or collateral; (iii) to grant or confer upon the Paying Agent or Registrar for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, or authority that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the Owners of the Bonds; or (iv) to qualify this Ordinance under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. (b) Exclusive of the amendatory ordinances permitted by paragraph (a) of this Section, this Ordinance may be amended or supplemented by ordinance adopted by the Council in accordance with the law, without receipt by the City of any additional consideration but with the prior written consent of the Owners of at least 66% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding at the time of the adoption of such amendatory or supplemental ordinance. (c) Notwithstanding Subsections (a) and (b) above, written consent of the Owners of all of the Bonds adversely affected thereby is required for any Ordinance that shall have the effect of permitting: (i) An extension of the maturity of any of the Bonds authorized by this Ordinance; or (ii) A reduction in the principal amount of any of the Bonds, the rate of interest thereon, or the prior redemption premium thereon; or (iii) The creation of a lien upon or pledge of any of the Pledged Revenues ranking prior to the lien or pledge created by this Ordinance; or (iv) A reduction of the principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to such amendatory or supplemental ordinance; or (v) The establishment of priorities as between outstanding Bonds, 2008B Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds with respect to the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues, the establishment of priorities as between outstanding Bonds and any Parity Lien Recreation Bonds with respect to the Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues or the establishment of priorities as between Bonds issued and Outstanding under the provisions of this Ordinance; or (vi) The modification of or otherwise affecting the rights of the Owners of less than all of the Bonds then outstanding. Copies of any waiver, modification or amendment to this Ordinance shall be delivered to any entity then maintaining a rating on the Bonds at least 15 days prior to its execution or adoption. Section 22. Events of Default. It is an Event of Default if: (a) Payment of the principal of or premium due on any Bond is not made by the City when due at maturity or upon prior redemption; (b) Payment of the interest on any Bond is not made by the City when due; or (c) The City defaults in the punctual performance of its covenants hereunder for sixty (60) days after written notice shall have been given by the Owners of not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds; provided that fail

(d) An event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the provisions of the Insurance Agreement. Section 23. Remedies. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, any Owner, or a trustee therefor, may protect and enforce the rights of such Owner by proper legal or equitable remedy deemed most effectual including mandamus, specific performance of any covenants, the appointment of a receiver (the consent to such appointment being hereby granted), injunctive relief, or requiring the Council to act as if it were the trust of an express trust, or any combination of such remedies. All proceedings shall be maintained for the benefit of the Owners; provided however, that any action brought pursuant to an Event of Default under Section 22(c) hereof may be brought only upon the written consent of the Owner or Owners of not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds. All proceedings shall be maintained for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners. The failure of any Owner to proceed does not relieve the City or any person of any liability for failure to perform any duty hereunder. The foregoing rights are in addition to any other right which may exist under applicable law, and the exercise of any right by any Owner shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right. If any remedial action is discontinued, the Owners shall be restored to their positions prior to taking such action. Section 24. Insurer To Be Deemed Owner, Rights of the Insurer, Payments by the Insurer. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this ordinance to the contrary, so long as the Bond Insurer is not in default in its payment obligations under the Bond Insurance Policy, the Bond Insurer shall at all times be deemed the sole and exclusive Owner of the Outstanding Bonds for the purposes of all approvals, consents, waivers, institution of any action, and the direction of all remedies pursuant to this ordinance, including but not limited to approval of or consent to any amendment of or supplement to this Ordinance which requires the consent or approval of the Owners of 66% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding pursuant to this Ordinance; provided, however, that the Bond Insurer shall not be deemed to be the sole and exclusive Owner of the Outstanding Bonds with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Ordinance which seeks to amend or supplement this Ordinance for the purposes set forth in Section 21(c) hereof. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, any rights granted to or conferred upon the Bond Insurer hereunder shall be in effect only so long as the Bond Insurer is not in default in its payment obligation under the Bond Insurance Policy, and upon any such default by the Bond Insurer, its rights hereunder shall be suspended (except to the extent of subrogation for any payments under the Bond Insurance Policy theretofore made by the Bond Insurer); provided, however, that such rights shall be reinstated when the Bond Insurer has cured such default under the Bond Insurance Policy. (c) To the extent that the Bond Insurer makes payment of any principal of or interest on a Bond, it shall be fully subrogated to all of the Owner’s rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy to the extent of such payment, including the Owner’s rights to payment thereof.
(d) In the event that the principal of or interest on a Bond shall be paid by the Bond Insurer pursuant to the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy (i) such Bond shall continue to be “Outstanding” under this Ordinance, and (ii) the Bond Insurer shall be fully subrogated to all of the rights of the Owner thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection (b) of this Section and the Bond Insurance Policy. (e) This Ordinance shall not be discharged unless and until all amounts due to the Bond Insurer have been paid in full or duly provided for.

The Recreation Sales and Use Tax Revenues shall not constitute Pledged Revenues and shall not be pledged for the payment of the Bonds. (b) Pledge Securing the Bonds. The Bonds constitute a pledge of, and an irrevocable lien (but not necessarily an exclusive such lien) on the Pledged Revenues and any moneys and securities paid or to be paid to or held or to be held in the Bond Account and the Reserve Account. The Bonds are equitably and ratably secured by a lien on the Pledged Revenues. The pledge of the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues (as part of the Pledged Revenues) to secure the payment of the principal of, prior redemption premiums, if any, and interest on the Bonds is on a parity with the pledge of the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues for and lien thereon of the 2008A Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017A Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds hereafter issued, as provided herein. The pledge of the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues (as part of the Pledged Revenues) to secure the payment of the principal of, prior redemption premiums, if any, and interest on the Bonds is on a parity with the pledge of the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues for and lien thereon of the 2009 Bonds and any Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds hereafter issued, as provided herein. The amounts required to be paid by the City under the Sales Tax Sharing Agreements are excluded from the pledge which secures the payment of the 2008A Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017A Bonds and the Bonds. This pledge of the Pledged Revenues shall be valid and binding from and after the date of the delivery of the Bonds, and the Pledged Revenues received by the City and hereby pledged shall immediately be subject to the lien of this pledge without any physical delivery thereof, any filing, or further act. The lien of this pledge of the Pledged Revenues shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the City irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. The lien of this pledge on the Pledged Revenues and the obligation to perform the contractual provisions made herein shall have priority over any or all other obligations and liabilities of the City, except with respect to the parity lien on the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues of the 2008A Bonds, the 2009 Bonds, the 2017A Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds hereafter issued, as provided herein, and except with respect to the 2009 Bonds and any parity lien on the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues which may be pledged to any Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds hereafter issued, as provided herein. (c) No Pledge of Property. The payment of the Bonds is not secured by an encumbrance, mortgage or other pledge of property of the City, except the Pledged Revenues and any moneys and securities paid or to be paid to or held or to be held in the Bond Account and the Reserve Account as provided herein. No property of the City, subject to such exception, shall be liable to be forfeited or taken in payment of the Bonds. (d) Bonds Equally Secured. The covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed on behalf of the City shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the Owners of any and all of the Outstanding Bonds, all of which, regardless of the time or times of their issuance or maturity, shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction of any of such securities over any other thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Ordinance. (e) Negotiability. The issuance of the Bonds by the City shall constitute a warranty by and on behalf of the City for the benefit of each and every Owner of any of the Bonds that the Bonds have been is-
(a) The Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form (i.e., registered as to payment of both principal and interest), initially registered in the name of Cede and Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof (provided that no Bond may be in a denomination which exceeds the principal coming due on its maturity date and no individual Bond will be issued for more than one maturity and interest rate). The Bonds shall be numbered in such manner as the Registrar shall determine. (b) The Bonds shall be dated as of the date of their delivery to the Purchaser. The Bonds shall mature, bear interest from their dated date to maturity and be sold, all as provided in the Sale Certificate; provided that: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $7,065,000; (ii) the Bonds shall mature no later than December 1, 2023; (iii) the purchase price of the Bonds, shall not be less than 98% of the principal amount thereof; (iv) the Bonds shall not be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City; (v) the maximum total repayment cost of the Bonds shall not exceed $7,800,000 and the maximum annual repayment cost shall not exceed $1,850,000. Interest on the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, payable on the dates set forth in the Sale Certificate and commencing on the date provided in the Sale Certificate. Section 6. Payment of Bonds - Paying Agent and Bond Registrar. (a) The principal of and prior redemption premium, if any, on any Bond shall be payable to the Owner thereof as shown on the registration records kept by the Registrar, upon maturity thereof and upon presentation and surrender at the Principal Operations Office of the Paying Agent. If any Bond shall not be paid upon such presentation and surrender at or after maturity, it shall continue to draw interest at the same interest rate borne by said Bond until the principal thereof is paid in full. Payment of interest on any Bond shall be made by check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent, on or before each interest payment date (or, if such interest payment date is not a Business Day, on or before the next succeeding Business Day), to the Owner thereof at the address shown on the registration records kept by the Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date; but any such interest not so timely paid or duly provided for shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Owner thereof at the close of business on the Record Date and shall be payable to the person who is the Owner of the applicable Bond at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest. Such Special Record Date and the date fixed for payment of the defaulted interest shall be fixed by the Registrar whenever monies become available for payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record Date and the date fixed for payment of the defaulted interest shall be given to the Owners of the Bonds not less than ten days prior to the Special Record Date by firstclass mail to each such Owner as shown on the Registrar’s registration records on a date selected by the Registrar, stating the date of the Special Record Date and the date fixed for the payment of such defaulted interest. The Paying Agent may make payments of interest on any Bond by such alternative means as may be mutually agreed to between the Owner of such Bond and the Paying Agent; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to make funds available to the Paying Agent prior to the payment dates stated in this Section. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America without deduction for the services of the Paying Agent or Registrar. (b) The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign on thirty days prior written notice to the City and the Bond Insurer, provided that no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Registrar and Paying Agent, acceptable to the Bond Insurer, is appointed. The City, with consent of the Bond Insurer, or the Bond Insurer, at any time may reasonably determine that the Registrar or Paying Agent is incapable of fulfilling its duties hereunder and may remove it, upon thirty days prior written notice. If the Registrar or Paying Agent initially appointed hereunder shall resign, or shall be removed, the City may, upon notice mailed to the Bond Insurer and to each Owner at his or her address last shown on the registration records, appoint a successor, acceptable to the Bond Insurer, to such Registrar or Paying Agent. Every such successor Registrar or Paying Agent shall be a bank or trust company located in and in good standing in the United States and having shareholders’ equity (e.g., capital stock, surplus and profits), however denominated, not less than
$10,000,000. It shall not be required that the same institution serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder, but the City shall have the right to have the same institution serve as both Registrar and Paying Agent hereunder. Section 7. Prior Redemption. (a) Optional Prior Redemption. The Bonds designated in the Sale Certificate, if any, will be subject to redemption at the option of the City from any legally available funds on the dates set forth in the Sale Certificate in whole, or in part from any maturities, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity from Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate, in such manner as the City may determine (giving proportionate weight to Bonds in denominations larger than $5,000), at the price set forth in the Sale Certificate, subject to the parameters and restrictions of this Ordinance. The Registrar shall not be required to give notice of any such optional redemption unless it has received written instructions from the City in regard thereto at least sixty days prior to such redemption date. (b) Mandatory Redemption. The Term Bonds, if any, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, at the times, in the amounts and at the prices provided in the Sale Certificate. On or before thirty (30) days prior to each sinking fund installment date, the Registrar shall, without any notice or instruction from the City, proceed to call the Term Bonds (or any Term Bond or Term Bonds issued to replace such Term Bonds) for redemption from the sinking fund on the next mandatory sinking fund redemption date, and give notice of such call without other instruction or notice from the City. At its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth (60th) day next preceding each such sinking fund redemption date, the City may (a) deliver to the Registrar for cancellation Term Bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date in an aggregate principal amount desired or (b) receive a credit in respect of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any Term Bonds of the same maturity subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date, which prior to said date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Registrar and not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each Term Bond so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited by the Registrar at the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the City on such sinking fund redemption date and the principal amount of Term Bonds to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund on such date will be accordingly reduced. The City will on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund redemption date furnish the Registrar with its certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence are to be availed with respect to such sinking fund payment. Failure of the City to deliver such certificate shall not affect the Registrar’s duty to give notice of sinking fund redemption as provided in this paragraph.
the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the owners of the Bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was mailed. Section 8. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be signed with the facsimile or manual signature of the Mayor or Mayor-Pro Tem of the City, sealed with a facsimile or manual impression of the seal of the City, and attested by the facsimile or manual signature of the City Clerk. Should any officer whose facsimile or manual signature appears on the Bonds cease to be such officer before delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser, such facsimile or manual signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes. Pursuant to Section 11-57-210 of the Supplemental Public Securities Act, the Bonds shall contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to certain provisions of the Supplemental Public Securities Act. Such recital shall be conclusive evidence of the validity and regularity of the issuance of the Bonds after their delivery for value. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form (provided that any of the text of the Bonds may, with appropriate reference, be printed on the back of the Bonds): [Form of Bond] Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the City or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered Owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

(a) The City covenants that it will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Bonds, the proceeds of the Bonds, any other funds of the City or the facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds if such action or omission (i) would cause the interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax Code, (ii) would cause the interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section 55(b)(2) of the Tax Code, except to the extent such interest is required to be included in the adjusted current earnings adjustment applicable to corporations under Section 56 of the Tax Code in calculating corporate alternative minimum taxable income, or (iii) would cause interest on the Bonds to lose its exclusion from Colorado taxable income or Colorado alternative minimum taxable income under present Colorado law. The foregoing covenants shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds until the date on which all obligations of the City in fulfilling the above covenants under the Tax Code and State law have been met. (b) All of the amounts on deposit in any fund or account created under this Ordinance, and all amounts pledged to the payment of the Bonds, shall be invested in compliance with the requirements of Subsection (a) of this Section 16.

Upon receipt of an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that the balance in the Rebate Account is in excess of the amount required by Subsection (a) of this Section 16 to be included therein, such excess shall be withdrawn from the Rebate Account and applied as set forth in Section 16 hereof. Section 17. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Pledged Revenues shall be used in the following manner and order, provided that all payments of principal and interest on the Bonds and any Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds required to be made pursuant to this Section 17 shall first be paid from the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues. Anything in this Ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues shall not be used to pay the 2008A Bonds, the 2017A Bonds, or any other Parity Lien Bonds that are not Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds. So long as any Bonds shall be Outstanding, either as to principal or interest, the Pledged Revenues shall, upon receipt by the City, be applied as follows: (a) Bond Account. First, there shall be credited from the Pledged Revenues to a special account hereby created, known as the “City of Lone Tree, Colorado, Sales and Use Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds (Cultural Facilities Projects), Series 2017B Bond Account,” from the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues, and, if such revenues are insufficient, from General Sales and Use Tax Revenues, the following amounts: (i) Interest Payments. Monthly, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date of delivery of any of the Bonds, an amount in equal monthly installments necessary, together with any other moneys from time to time available therefor from whatever source, to pay the next maturing installment of interest on the Bonds then Outstanding. (ii) Principal Payments. Monthly, commencing on the first day of the first month following the date of delivery of any of the Bonds, or commencing on the first day of the month one year next prior to the first principal payment date of any of the Bonds, whichever commencement date is later, an amount in equal monthly installments necessary, together with any other moneys from time to time available therefor from whatever source, to pay the next installment of principal of the Bonds coming due at maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, if any. If prior to any interest payment date or principal payment date there has been accumulated in the Bond Account the entire amount necessary to pay the next maturing installment of interest or principal, or both, the payment required in paragraph (i) or (ii) (whichever is applicable) of this Section 17(a), may be appropriately reduced; but the required monthly amounts again shall be so credited to such account commencing on such interest payment date or principal payment date. The moneys in the Bond Account shall be used only to pay the principal of, prior redemption premium if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due. Payments from the Cultural Facilities Sales and Use Tax Revenues with respect to the 2009 Bonds and any Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds hereafter issued may be made to the simi-
lar bond account for such 2009 Bonds and any Parity Lien Cultural Facilities Bonds on a parity with the payments to the Bond Account set forth in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 17(a) concurrently (but not necessarily simultaneously) with the payment for the Bonds. Payments from the General Sales and Use Tax Revenues may be made to the similar bond account for the 2008A Bonds, 2009 Bonds, the 2017A Bonds, and any Parity Lien Bonds on a parity with the payments to the Bond Account set forth in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 17(a) concurrently (but not necessarily simultaneously) with the payment for the Bonds. (b) Reserve Account. Second, except as hereinafter provided, from any remaining Pledged Revenues there shall be credited monthly to a special account hereby created and known as the “City of Lone Tree, Colorado, Sales and Use Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds (Cultural Facilities Projects), Series 2017B Reserve Account” an amount, if any, which is necessary to maintain the Reserve Account as a continuing reserve in an amount not less than the Reserve Account Requirement or to pay the issuer of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy any amounts owing to such issuer under the terms of the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy. At the time of issuance of the Bonds, no funds shall be required to be on deposit in the Reserve Account. No later than the last day of February in each year, the City Manager shall calculate the coverage of the Pledged Revenues received during the preceding Fiscal Year over the Maximum Annual Combined Debt Service Requirement. Such calculations shall be filed with the City Clerk promptly upon completion. In the event that, according to such calculation, the Pledged Revenues received in any Fiscal Year are less than three times the Maximum Annual Combined Debt Service Requirement, the City shall, immediately upon the filing thereof, commence funding the Reserve Account monthly so that no later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of such filing, the amount accumulated in the Reserve Account is equal to the Reserve Account Requirement. The City may cease funding the Reserve Account and will be entitled to withdraw any moneys deposited therein if the calculation performed in any future Fiscal Year shows three or more times coverage was in fact attained. In determining the amounts required to be deposited as provided in this Section 17(b), the City shall receive credit for any investment earnings on the deposit in the Reserve Account. No credit need be made to the Reserve Account so long as the moneys and/or a Bond Reserve Insurance Policy therein equal the Reserve Account Requirement (regardless of the source of such accumulations). The Reserve Account Requirement shall be accumulated and maintained as a continuing reserve to be used, except as provided in subsections (c) and (e) of this Section 17 and Section 20 hereof, only to prevent deficiencies in the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds resulting from the failure to credit to the Bond Account sufficient funds to pay said principal and interest as the same accrue or to pay the issuer of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy any amounts owing to such issuer under the terms of the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy. The Reserve Account Requirement shall be calculated upon (i) any principal payment, whether at stated maturity or upon redemption, (ii) the issuance of Additional Obligations, (iii) the defeasance of all or a portion of the Bonds, or (iv) whenever the City is required to fund the Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 17(b). In lieu of all or a portion of the moneys required to be deposited in the Reserve Account by this Ordinance, the City may at any time or from time to time deposit a Bond Reserve Insurance Policy in the Reserve Account in full or partial satisfaction of the Reserve Account Requirement. Any such Bond Reserve Insurance Policy shall be payable (or available to be drawn upon) on any date on which moneys will be required to be withdrawn from the Reserve Account as provided herein. Upon deposit of any Bond Reserve Insurance Policy in the Reserve Account, the City may transfer moneys equal to the amount payable under the Bond Reserve Insurance Policy from the Reserve Account and apply such moneys to any lawful purpose, subject to the provisions of Section 16 hereof. (c) Termination of Deposits to Maturity or Redemption Date. No payment of Pledged Revenues need be made into the Bond Account or the Reserve Account if the amount in the Bond Account and the Reserve Account totals a sum at least equal to the entire amount of the Outstanding Bonds both as to principal and interest to their respective maturities, or to any redemption date on which the City shall have exercised its option to redeem the Bonds then Outstanding and thereafter maturing, including any prior redemption premiums then due, and both accrued and not accrued, in which case moneys in said accounts in an amount at least equal to such principal and interest requirements shall be used solely to pay such as the same accrue, and any moneys in excess thereof in said accounts may be withdrawn and used for any lawful purpose, subject to Section 16 hereof. (d) Defraying Delinquencies in Bond and Reserve Accounts. If, five days before any interest payment date or principal payment date for the Bonds, there are insufficient funds on deposit in the Bond Account to pay the principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due on such date, then, to the extent of any amounts then in the Reserve Account, a sufficient amount shall be paid into the Bond Account on such date from the Reserve Account exclusively to make such payments on the Bonds. The money, if any, so used shall be replaced in

(d) An event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the provisions of the Insurance Agreement. Section 23. Remedies. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, any Owner, or a trustee therefor, may protect and enforce the rights of such Owner by proper legal or equitable remedy deemed most effectual including mandamus, specific performance of any covenants, the appointment of a receiver (the consent to such appointment being hereby granted), injunctive relief, or requiring the Council to act as if it were the trust of an express trust, or any combination of such remedies.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, any rights granted to or conferred upon the Bond Insurer hereunder shall be in effect only so long as the Bond Insurer is not in default in its payment obligation under the Bond Insurance Policy, and upon any such default by the Bond Insurer, its rights hereunder shall be suspended (except to the extent of subrogation for any payments under the Bond Insurance Policy theretofore made by the Bond Insurer); provided, how-
ever, that such rights shall be reinstated when the Bond Insurer has cured such default under the Bond Insurance Policy. (c) To the extent that the Bond Insurer makes payment of any principal of or interest on a Bond, it shall be fully subrogated to all of the Owner’s rights thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy to the extent of such payment, including the Owner’s rights to payment thereof.

The form, terms and provisions of the Purchase Contract, the Registrar Agreement and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and the Escrow Agreement are hereby approved, and the City shall enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Contract, the Registrar Agreement, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate and the Escrow Agreement, in the forms of such documents presented to the Council at this meeting, with only such changes therein as are required by the circumstances and are not inconsistent herewith. The Mayor or the City Manager are hereby independently authorized to make the final pricing determinations as authorized in Section 5 hereof subject to the parameters set forth herein and execute the Bond Purchase Agreement and Sale Certificate relating to same.

Section 27. Acceptance of Purchase Contract. The Council hereby accepts the Purchase Contract as submitted by the Purchaser, and hereby authorizes the sale of the Bonds to the Purchaser upon the terms, conditions, and provisions as set forth in the Purchase Contract.

The approval hereby given to the various documents referred to above includes an approval of such additional details therein as may be necessary and appropriate for their completion and deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be approved by bond counsel prior to the execution of the documents. Section 29. Approval of Official Statement. The Council hereby approves the Preliminary Official Statement, in the form presented at this meeting. The Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to approve on behalf of the City a final Official Statement containing any updated information regarding items described in the Preliminary Official Statement which become known to the City prior to the date of delivery of the Bonds. Copies of said Preliminary Official Statement and final Official Statement are hereby authorized to be distributed by the Purchaser to all interested persons in connection with the sale of the Bonds.

Such recourse shall not be available either directly or indirectly through the Council or the City, or otherwise, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise. By the acceptance of the Bonds and as a part of the consideration of their sale or purchase, any person purchasing or selling such Bond specifically waives any such recourse.
Section 32. Ratification and Approval of Prior Action. All actions heretofore taken by the officers of the City and members of the Council, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, relating to the authorization, sale, issuance, and delivery of the Bonds, and the qualification of the Bonds for book-entry with The Depository Trust Company, are hereby ratified, approved, and confirmed.

Section 34. Severability. If any section, paragraph, clause, or provision of this Ordinance shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph, clause, or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance, the intent being that the same are severable. Section 35. Repealer. All orders, resolutions, bylaws, ordinances or regulations of the City, or parts thereof, inconsistent with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency. Section 36. Ordinance Irrepealable. After the Bonds are issued, this Ordinance shall constitute an irrevocable contract between the City and the Owners of the Bonds, and shall be and remain irrepealable until the Bonds and the interest thereon shall have been fully paid, satisfied, and discharged. No provisions of any constitution, statute, charter, ordinance, resolution or other measure enacted after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as impairing the obligations of the City to keep and perform the covenants contained in this Ordinance. Section 37. Holidays. If the date for making any payment or the last date for performing any act or exercising any right, as provided in this Ordinance, shall be a legal holiday or a non-Business Day, such payment may be made, act performed or right exercised on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if done on the nominal date provided in this Ordinance, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date.
