e Fresh Start Relief for Outstanding Warrants event is happening from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m on June 1 at the Je erson County Courthouse and Administration Building.
e Je erson County website and social media accounts say that it’s an opportunity to “clear” active low-level warrants. However, that still leaves some questions about the program and what people can expect.
Colorado First Judicial District Attorney’s O ce Director of Public A airs Brionna Boatright answered some questions about the event.
A note on the term “cleared”
Boatright also clari ed what the program means by “clearing” the warrants.
“When we say that warrants are ‘cleared,’ it just means that individuals are given an opportunity to move toward a resolution in their case by setting a new court date, re-engaging in probation, enrolling in Pathways (Diversion Program), or re-
solve their case entirely, for eligible individuals to take accountability for prior mistakes without being arrested,” Boatright explained.
“For instance, if an individual has a non-DUI tra c warrant for No Proof of Insurance, they can come to Fresh Start, present proof of insurance, and have their case dismissed,” Boatright continued. “In contrast, if the same person is contacted by law enforcement, they would face arrest and imprisonment, leading to resource consumption and disruption to their life. Warrant clearing events are the only mechanism for eligible individuals to take accountability for prior mistakes without being arrested.”
Colorado Community Media sat down with Boatright for the following Q&A. Answers have been edited for clarity.
How long has the program been in place and how did it get started? e original concept was introduced by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee*. Je co’s rst event took place in 2021 after a six-
month collaborative e ort involving First Judicial District Attorney Alexis King, the Colorado State Public Defender’s O ce, First Judicial District Court, First Judicial District Probation Department, Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce, Je erson County Justice Services, and C3.
Note from Boatright: e Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee serves as an advisory body to the policymakers, judiciary and stakeholder groups of the criminal justice system in Je erson County. e Committee monitors the existing criminal justice system to examine potential opportunities for improvements to the system, prioritizes projects, conducts research, analyzes options, makes recommendations, and assists with implementation. is interagency collaboration seeks to identify innovative and evidence-based solutions to address de ciencies in the system and promote fairness and justice.
The program description on the Jefferson County website says that the program will allow the courts and law enforcement the time and resources to concentrate on other more serious warrants. Does this mean that the county is not actively pursuing the types of warrants eligible for Fresh Start?
To clarify, the website states, “ e Fresh Start event will not only benet individuals with outstanding warrants but will cut down on the costs to taxpayers and allow law enforcement to direct their resources toward o enders who commit higher level crimes and directly victimize others in the community.”
Any active warrant puts individuals at risk of arrest and incarceration. By reducing the number of individuals with low-level warrants, we are preserving law enforcement, judicial, and taxpayer resources for more serious and violent o enses. Tra c cases account for the majority of warrants, and while our law enforcement partners work diligently to address these low-level warrants and engage with the individuals involved, their primary focus is on proactive policing to improve community safety.
How many warrants were resolved in the 2023 Fresh Start event?
We’ve had events since 2021, and resolve between 40-90 warrants at
each event. In 2023, we resolved just under 160 warrants between two warrant events.
What other resources will be available at the event?
Several community partners, including the Community Connections Center (C3), Bene ts in Action, Hazelbrook Sober Living, Bayaud Enterprises, Ke’nekt, Community Economic Defense Project, Front Range Clinic, Master’s Apprentice, and Behavioral Treatment Services. All of those agencies will also be onsite to provide information and resources.
At our last event in November 2023, there were approximately 140 connections made in a variety of areas including housing, Medicaid and other bene ts, employment, bus passes, substance use treatment, mental health treatment, hygiene, harm reduction and more.
The website says people can email to find out if their warrants are eligible for relief. Are there any other ways to check on a warrant to see if relief is possible?
e only way to check eligibility is via email; for probation violation cases, individuals should email 01probation@judicial.state.co.us, and for all other cases, email warrantforgiveness.golden@coloradodefenders.us.
What is the most important thing that readers should know about the program?
It is important to stress that this event excludes people charged or convicted of an o ense under the Victim Rights Act – such as assault, child abuse, unlawful sexual contact or domestic violence. In addition, people with weapons o enses and those with second or subsequent cases involving driving under the in uence or driving while ability impaired are not eligible for the event. is initiative addresses minor offenses, primarily tra c violations, that would otherwise lead to arrests and court appearances that consume law enforcement and taxpayer resources and create challenges for defendants seeking to take responsibility.

Among those states which actually have four seasons, Colorado enjoys the best and longest season for outdoor living. When I lived here in my childhood, I recall that the Denver Post had “Climate Capital of the World” as its page one slogan. Denver’s climate was what drove me to return to Coloradoasanadult.Westillenjoy a year-round climate which is least impacted by climate change, with fewer or no hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, and other natural disasters.
home with a fully tricked-out backyard, and I know my buyers do too. It’s a definitesellingpointandsetsanyhome apart from its competition.
So, it makes sense that Coloradans want to do more outdoor living. I’m finding more and more homes with outdoor kitchens and living spaces, and these are big selling points for any single-family listing.
Above right is a graphic from a 2023 article by the International Casual Furnishings Association which carried the following headline: “In 2023, Americans Will Spend Their Money on Lighting, Rugs, Umbrellas and Other Accessories to Spruce Up Their Backyards, Decks and Patios.”
I must say that I light up when I see a
The article was based on a survey which showed increased interest in backyard amenities by American homeowners. The statistics are in the graphic. In the article reporting on the survey, it was stated that “After two years of pandemic living that motivated many residents to invest in improving the spaces around their homes, there is significant interest in continuing to upgrade their outdoor living setting.” Their website, icfanet.org/news/2023_trend_report, promotes various products to enhance outdoor living, including outdoor bars, a canopied daybed, umbrellas, rugs, swivel rockers, artwork, pottery, pillows and more.
As I write this, there are 67 active REcolorado listings within 20 miles of downtown Denver which include an outdoor kitchen in their public remarks. There are 35 more beyond that 20-mile radius. Send me an email at the address below if you’d like me to share those
The now-famous NAR Settlement of March 15th is now 2½ months in the past long enough for multiple people and “experts” to weigh in on how the practice of real estate will change.
I have attended several events which were touted as answering that question but literally did nothing of the kind. I believe that I have a better understanding of how it will all change as the implementation date of August 17th approaches.
Until then, nothing at all is changing. I just listed a couple homes which will advertise a co-op (buyer’s agent) commission of 2.5%, which is rather typical. There are still listings on the MLS showing 2.8% co-op commissions, and some showing 2.0% co-op, but all of us realize that it’s important to offer a coop if we want our listings to sell.
After Aug. 17th, it will be strictly forbidden for the MLS and websites which get their listings from the MLS Zillow, and every brokerage website, including our own to even hint at a co-op commission. The penalty for doing so is loss of MLS access, which is a career-ending penalty.
Most people think that buyers and agents will have to call each listing agent before showing a home to find out if a co-op is being offered and what the
listings with you, and I’d be happy to arrange a showing. Even if you don’t buy one of those listings, it could give you ideas as to how you might improve your own outdoor living space.
We live in the best place on planet Earth in my opinion, and we want to live life to the fullest, right? Why limit ourselves to wonderful indoor living spaces, when we can also enjoy the the great environment that is outside our walls?
My broker associates and I are here to help you in any way that suits you.
The research for the above chart was conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of the American Home Furnishings Alliance and International Casual Furnishings Association among 1,000 nationally representative U.S. adults ages 18 and older between January 27-31, 2023.
We are seeing a notable shift in the residential market, particularly within the attached property sector. This has been influenced by several key factors that have emerged in recent months.
¨ Active inventory has risen significantly, with a 31% increase in units for sale. New listings also saw a 14% uptick.
percentage or dollar amount will be. I watched one video presentation by a local brokerage which suggested that the amount of co-op could vary depending on the listing agent’s opinion of the professionalism of the buyer’s agent, offering 1% to one agent but 2% to another a terrible, likely illegal idea.
Not one person I read or listened to mentioned the printed brochure for a listing. It can easily state in print if a coop commission is offered and what the percentage or dollar amount is. This is no different than those for-sale-byowner listings which say “Co-op Paid.”
My practice will be to write listing agreements with 2.5 to 2.8 percent commissions, but with an additional provision authorizing me to promote on brochures, in this ad, and on listing websites (not connected to the MLS) a 2.0 to 2.8 percent co-op commission. I’m sure any seller will agree to that provision, because failure to do so would mean far fewer showings and offers.
Next Tuesday the Colorado Real Estate Commission will be presented by their Forms Committee with some minor changes to the purchase contract and listing contracts (for both buyers and sellers). I will attend that meeting and write about those changes the following week.
Underwriters are increasingly scrutinizing the financial health of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) due to new lending guidelines. This has led to a rise in HOA dues and special assessments, largely driven by significant increases in master insurance policy costs. For example, some sellers have experienced HOA dues rising from around $300 to over $800. In another instance, an HOA is planning a special assessment of $3,600 annually for the next five years to stabilize their finances. Additionally, many condo communities have let their FHA approvals lapse, complicating the purchase process for first-time and lower entry buyers.
Lenders are also wary of mixed-use commercial/condo communities, viewing the financial burden placed on commercial spaces as a riskier proposition. Consequently, we are seeing a marked shift from condos to single-family detached units. Buyers who might have considered a $500,000 condo with a $1,000 monthly HOA bill are finding better value in singlefamily homes priced around $700,000, offering a more sound investment.
¨ Demand, as measured by pending transactions, decreased by 6.6%, although closed transactions increased by 14% month-over-month.
¨ Months of inventory increased to 2.5 months, reflecting a lagging indicator based on March's contracts.
¨ Attached residential home prices have dropped from last month due to rising inventory and decreased demand. However, prices are still up 1.1% to 2.5% compared to last year.
¨ While multiple offers are less frequent and less intense compared to 20202022, March saw 28.8% of attached units selling over asking price, with an average overage of 2.0%. Many of these homes included concessions to buy down interest rates.
¨ The average days on market decreased to 35 days, with the median days on market dropping to 12 days.
¨ 41.9% of homes were under contract within 7 days, up 3.6% from last month. Homes under contract within this timeframe received an average of 100.5% of their original list price.

On June 8, Evergreen resident Gil Schaenzle will push o on a onemonth, 1,000-mile bicycle ride to raise awareness of an uncommon form of cancer — one that took her 20-year-old daughter’s life.
Anna Rose died from neuroendocrine cancer in 2017, after doctors initially misdiagnosed her with several other conditions.
Funds raised from Schaenzle’s ride will go toward educating doctors about neuroendocrine tumors, to buy time and better treatment for other patients and families.
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried over the years, seeing another person I know with NET cancer pass away,” Schaenzle said. “I feel like there’s just so much more to be done to keep getting more awareness of this out there.”
Over 90% of NET patients are incorrectly diagnosed and treated for the wrong disease, according to the Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network, which said NET has low priority for medical research because it was traditionally considered rare — a fact that is changing as diagnoses climb. Schaenzle said doctors she’s spoken to said they spent about 45 minutes on it during medical school, a fact she wants to change.
“It’s the most misdiagnosed cancer in the world,” Schaenzle said. “It takes patients ve to seven years on average to get a diagnosis. But if you catch it early and you’re low grade, you can have a pretty wonderful life. If you’re getting the right treatment and nutrition, and the right plan, you can actually die of something else.”
Schaenzle will cycle along 10 historic water canals from Cincinnati to Washington, D.C., ending on the steps of Congress. ere, she plans to meet with U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a NET patient who’s been supportive of her

campaign. She also hopes for media coverage to further spread her message.
In 2016, Anna Rose was a “perfectly healthy athlete” when she started experiencing numbness in her legs while running, then passing out playing volleyball or running. After months of worsening illness and misdiagnosis, a Denver endocrinologist diagnosed her with NET.
“She was smart, beautiful, with kindness oozing from every pore when she started having these seem-
ingly unconnected symptoms,” her mother said. “She had a very bright future. She was in her rst year of college at Colorado Mesa University when she was diagnosed. She was in chemo on her 21st birthday, when most kids are out having a good time. She passed shortly after.”
In 2017, Schaenzle did her rst event to raise awareness about NET. en a long-distance runner, she did half marathons through all the national parks in the contiguous United States.
While her knees are telling her not to run such distances again, she’s not done yet. is time, Schaenzle will spread her message on wheels.
at’s not the only change she’s ex-
perienced in the last several years.
“I still miss Anna with every single breath, but I have learned how to look at my grief di erently, how to sit with it and accept it,” she said. “ is time, I feel this is about other NET patients. is is about the ones who are still here, who aren’t getting the right treatment and need a diagnosis.”
Anna Rose’s father and Schaenzle’s husband Fred will drive a van that will accompany her on her journey.

“I’ve had people say, ‘If I hadn’t seen you on the Today show, I
would never have known I had NET cancer. But I knew when I saw you that’s what I had, and I got the right diagnoses and I’m being treated,’” she said. It’s the best use of her time Schaenzle knows.
“When Anna Rose was sick, I prayed every day he would give it to me; I was ne with going,” she said. “And that didn’t happen. But since then I have prayed every day to please take my brokenness and use it to help other people. It’s so important we don’t look down the cesspool of grief and never come back again.”

FINALLY, THANKS ALSO TO THE MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT ACTIVELY SUPPORTED THIS YEAR’S ETHICS IN BUSINESS AWARDS PROGRAM!
Red Rocks will play host to the sixth annual Hike for Hope, a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, at 8:45 a.m. June 2. Hikers will leave on the 1.7mile moderate hike from the Red Rocks Trading Post, 17900 Trading Post Road.
In addition to the hike, AFSP sta and volunteers will be on hand with information and snacks. Participants can also paint inspirational messages at a rock-painting station.
Participation is free, and organizers said fundraising is optional but greatly appreciated.
“ e idea is to spend a day outside, enjoying nature and a hike while increasing awareness about
mental health and suicide prevention in Colorado,” said Michael Barber, Colorado area AFSP director.
“Nature, sunshine and exercise have all been shown to help with mental health. And events like this
are what help us fund our mission — which is to save lives and bring hope to those a ected by suicide.
“We recommend people sign up ahead of time, and then a fundraising page is built for you. You can easily text or email that link to people or put it on social media.”
Mental health and suicide prevention can be tough subjects, Barber acknowledged.
“It’s something we’ve got to talk about, or this problem is going to continue,” he said. “ is hike is about building hope that it’s ok not to be ok, to talk with other people and reach out for help when we need it.”
Barber, who lost a grandparent to suicide, said the AFSP’s mission is “near and dear to my heart.”

The performing arts often have a reputation as only taking place in rare ed spaces, where only certain people have access to them. e whole idea of the Denver Fringe Festival is to burst that bubble and show that creativity can happen anywhere.
“Our approach is arts for all,” said Ann Sabbah, executive director of the annual event. “We look for all types of performers in all kinds of genres to take part and we strive to keep the price point at a very a ordable level.”
e Denver Fringe Festival is back for its fth year, running from ursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9, across 20 venues and locations, mostly concentrated in the RiNo and Five Points neighborhoods. is year’s event features more than 60 original shows, the bulk of which cost only $15. And 70 percent of all ticket sales go right back to the performers.
Some of the shows audiences can explore include: King Penny Radio: An Improvised 1940s Radio Show; Raw Groove, which features dance and live musical performances that take audiences on an Afrofuturistic journey through various movements and sounds of the Black diaspora; and Cirque du Cinéma, which combines burlesque, aerial, dance and camp nostalgia.
ere are also a couple of new features this year for attendees to check out.
e rst is the FringeART show, which is visual arts focused and
will be on display through June 21 at Ironton Distillery, 3636 Chestnut Place. e other new feature is the Fringe Free-ForAll, a locally-driven program bringing free performances to various streets and spaces in the neighborhoods. ese performances will include circus arts, magic and illusion, immersive experiences and more.
“One of the most fun parts of the festival is the variety of venues audiences will get to experience,” Sabbah said. “Some performances are in more traditional theaters and art galleries, but you’ll also be able to visit everywhere from comedy clubs to event rooms at a brewery and even a video studio. is all makes for a much more intimate and immersive experience.”
e festival is also family friendly, with the free KidsFringe event, which features two original shows for kids, various forms of puppetry, a puppet meet and greet, and more.
ere’s no right way to approach an event like the Fringe Festival. Sabbah recommends people do some exploring and maybe try something new and that way a person can see what catches their interest.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Outside Festival at Civic Center Park
Denver doesn’t really have a signature music festival, but that could be changing with the rst Outside Festival, which is taking over Civic Center Park, Broadway and Colfax Avenue in Denver, on Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2. e event is a celebration of all things outdoors and is driven by a partnership between Outside Interactive Inc, e State of Colorado’s Outdoor Recreation O ce and Visit Denver. e festival will feature a diverse group of musicians, like undercat, Lettuce, Say She She, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird and e Heavy Heavy, as well as Colorado bands that will perform throughout the weekend.

One of the rst questions many of my clients ask is whether they need a trust. It’s a great question, but it leads to another: What do you want your estate plan to accomplish? First I will explain what trusts are and how they work. en I will look at the bene ts of a trust based plan so you will have a better idea of whether a trust is right for you and your family.
ere are many di erent types of trusts and they can accomplish a wide range of goals. However, when most people think about trusts, the one they have in mind is a Revocable or Living Trust.
GUEST COLUMN
A trust is a separate legal entity that is established by a trust agreement. e grantor is the person who creates and signs the trust agreement. e trust agreement sets forth the rules and guidelines the trustee must follow when managing the assets whether it is during the grantor’s incapacity or upon the death of the grantor.
After signing the trust agreement, the grantor’s assets are funded into the trust. Assets that may be funded into the trust include, but are not limited to, real property, nancial accounts, motor vehicles and other items. An example of trust funding is recording a deed moving the ownership of a house from the grantor’s name into the name of the trust. After assets are transferred into the name of the trust, the trust technically owns the assets; however the grantor can continue to use them as he or she normally would.
When the trust is created, the grantor names a trustee to manage the assets funded into the name of the trust. Most grantors name themselves as the initial trustee, giving them complete control over the trust’s assets. A successor trustee is also named to take over management of the trust upon the grantor’s incapacity and death.
One of the primary bene ts of a trust is that it enables assets held in the trust to avoid the probate process after the grantor’s death thereby avoiding the costs associated with probating the estate. e grantor can stipulate when, how, and under what circumstances the successor trustee is authorized to distribute trust assets to bene ciaries. is is particularly important if the bene ciaries are not yet mature enough to man-
age an inheritance on their own, or in situations involving blended families.
Additionally a trust protects the privacy of the grantor (and bene ciaries) because the trust’s provisions are con dential. Once a person’s Last Will and Testament is submitted to the probate process, it is a matter of public record. Anyone can access information about the decedent’s assets, creditors, debts and more.
Trusts can also be used to protect the grantor and the grantor’s family from a stressful and expensive guardianship (day-to-day decisions) proceeding or conservator ( nancial) proceeding if the grantor becomes incapacitated. e probate court treats the appointment of a guardian and the appointment of a conservator as two separate lawsuits, each with their own rules. As mentioned earlier, there are many di erent types of trusts. If one of your primary goals is to protect assets from long-term care costs, creditors, lawsuits, and other threats, an Irrevocable Trust or an Asset Protection Trust may be a much better option then a Revocable Living Trust. If you have a loved one with special needs, a Special Needs Trust can allow you to create a fund for goods and services not provided by Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income while protecting eligibility for these vital programs.
ese are but a few examples of various trusts and what they can accomplish. If you’re still not sure whether you need a trust, we welcome the opportunity to explain your options in detail and, if appropriate in your particular circumstances, design and implement the trust that’s right for you and your family.

Colorado-born actress brings immersive one-woman show to Denver Fringe
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMLauren Hance will perform her one-woman award-winning comedy show “Holy O” at the 2024 Denver Fringe Festival on June 6, 7 and 9.
“ e Denver Fringe Festival does a fantastic job,” Hance said. “I have a lot of family and friends who live in the Denver area. So, it was a nice combination to be able to take my show to a place where a lot of people that I know can come and see it.”
Director and developer Amelia Peterson described the show as a cross between “Fleabag” and “ e Vagina Monologues.”
“It’s for audiences who are up for something playful, heartwarming, and experimental,” Peterson said.
In “Holy O,” Hance plays Vera in a solo comedy performance in which the audience becomes part of the play directly from their seats. e main character, Vera, contemplates becoming a nun but can’t let go of her vibrators.
“ e onset of rapturous prayers complicates her situation, leading the audience to assume the role of an advice-giving saint,” Hance said.
“As Vera’s story unfolds, it intertwines with choose-your-ownadventure stories that explore the connection of body, spirit and sexuality,” Hance continued. “Along the way, the audience helps Vera make some of the biggest decisions of her life, starting with what shirt to wear.”
Hance was born and raised at the Air Force Academy in Colorado
Springs but now lives in Houston. As a little girl, Hance said she already had the personality to be an entertainer.
“When I was a little girl, my mom would put me in the grocery cart. She said I babbled before I even talked,” Hance said.
Hance said her mother decided she had to do something with her since she was very entertaining and thought she would put her play. So, in elementary school, she joined the school play and YMCA.
“It was the best thing ever. I love it. It was what I wanted to do since I was a little girl,” she said.
Hance studied theater at Abilene Christian University in West Texas and started as an actress. She graduated with a degree in Directing.
“Like many performers, you go out into the world and try to get into act-
ing. When I was in Texas, it was hard to make a complete living as an actor, no matter where you live,” Hance said.
“ ey have a great auxiliary campus in Houston with a good arts and culture program. I also liked many teachers who were interested in lm and all forms of art,” she continued.
Hance also has a master’s degree in theology, arts, and culture from Fuller eological Seminary. She said that “Holy O” was part of her thesis project.
“Now, I take it on the road to di erent festivals,” Hance said.
Hance travels coast to coast, producing, being a playwright and directing theater. She also hosts and produces a podcast, “What is Fringe?”
Hance said Peterson helped her develop and direct “Holy O.” She spent her career working with playwrights and presenting at festivals, such as the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival and the New York International Fringe Festival.
“I’m also working now with Cathy Lam-Patrie, a co-director. She is helping me with some more acting because Amelia has been a part of this show, but my show is self-producing, and she is taking a pause to work on some other projects in Knoxville,” Hance said.
Hance said Cathy Lam-Patrie is an internationally recognized producer from Hong Kong who is devoted to advancing justice-focused work. In 2023, she received the Edinburgh Fringe First Award for “A Funeral for My Friend Who Is Still Alive.”
“Amelia is all groovy about me getting assistance because we’re all in it for the betterment of the piece. We had long conversations about the development process,” Hance said. “We sent me o to do my work with festivals.”
In addition to several other awards, “Holy O” received a “Best of Fringe” award from DC eatre Arts and was described by reviewer Ari Rogers as “a deeply moving, uniquely intimate, and spiritual exploration of sexuality.”
“It was exciting to receive these awards. is is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done artistically because it’s self-produced, and I’m the writer and the performer,” Hance said.
Hance said that on the business side, she does all the work, sending out press releases and learning how to do that process, advertising and getting people to the show.
“It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve done but also one of the best things that I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’ve grown so much, and my ability to believe in myself, who I am and what I can do, and how I can impact the world.”
Hance said she is very relational, and her show is very relational. e audience gets very involved, which excites her.
“I love connecting with people and
creating space for them to feel the experience. It feels good when other people recognize my work and really believe what I’m doing. And it’s nice when other people say they believe in what I’m doing,” Hance said.
“Denver has a vibrant art scene. It’s inspiring to come to a city that supports the arts, and the Fringe Festival is received well. I’m particular about where I go because it costs a lot of time and money to take a show somewhere and the place that is going and want it to be successful within the art scene and the festival,” Hance continued.
Hance’s “Holy O” performances during the Denver Fringe Festival will be at Big Up Studios, 3410 Blake St., Denver, CO 80205.
“Holy O” showtimes are at 8 p.m. ursday, June 6, 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 7, and 5:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at https://denverfringe.org/ shows/holy-o/. For more information about the show, go to theholyoplay.com.
The Denver Fringe Festival
Now in its fth year running, this
year’s Denver Fringe Festival boasts more than 150 performances, including 60 original productions that include theater, dance, circus, comedy, cabaret and more. e four-day festival, which takes place June 6-9, will take place in roughly 20 venues, primarily located in Denver’s RiNo and Five Points, and a satellite location in Aurora.
In addition to “Holy O,” some other highlights include “King Penny Radio,” an improvised 1940’s radio show complete with costumes and old-timey piano music; “Disko Boy,” a family-friendly drag show featuring Hans L’Adida; and “Raw Groove: Life of the Party,” which will take audience members on an Afrofuturistic journey with dance and live musical performances.
“To be able to produce a show and have the right exposure is hard to come by,” said Constance Harris with Raw Groove. “With the network that Denver Fringe has in place with venues and audiences, it cuts out some of the obstacles and allows artists to produce what they want.”
Harris, who is also known by her stage name Connie Love, is partici-
pating in the festival for the rst time this year.
Even more to look forward to this year are additional experiences such as “On e Fringes,” which is a visual art exhibit that will be on display through June 21 at Ironton Distillery in Denver; and Fringe Free-For-All, which will consist of a variety of performances in free-entry venues and street performances.
“We’re really manifesting our goal of making the arts accessible to all,” said Ann Sabbah, executive director of the Denver Fringe Festival, in a press release. “ e elements we’re adding this year allow us to support more independent artists, collaborate within the community and share live performance art with more people. We’re ve years in and the re for Fringe is burning bright.”
e Denver Fringe Festival is known for providing “unjuried, uncensored and unconventional art” to all. ose wanting a more family-friendly experience can attend KidsFringe, which o ers two free shows catered for an audience of kids and families.
Wood died unexpectedly May 6
BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMIn a somber and silent county commission meeting crowded with government and law enforcement leaders, Commissioner Randy Wheelock read into the record a resolution in appreciation for Clear Creek County Commissioner Sean C. Wood and his more than seven years of meritorious service to Clear Creek County.
“Commissioner Wood has rooted a legacy in Clear Creek County and he will long be remembered for his independence, courage and faith that we can always do better,” Wheelock read from the resolution at the May 21 meeting. ere were tears and heartbroken voices in the rst Clear Creek County Commission meeting since the death of Wood on May 6.
George Marlin did their best to keep composure as they voted the resolution of appreciation for Wood into the permanent record for Clear Creek County.
sion with Wood’s nameplate and gavel represented, what many called, an empty hole in the county
left by his death.
“ e state of Colorado has lost a true public servant,” State Sen. Dylan Roberts said.
Clear Creek Sheri Matt Harris said he talked to Wood the morning of his death about their common goal of modernizing and professionalizing the sheri ’s department.
Wheelock governed in tandem with Wood for nearly eight years.
“Most of the time he didn’t say a lot, but he felt things very, very deeply,” Wheelock said.
One of his biggest regrets, Wheelock said, was that he and Wood never went skiing together as they’d always talked about.
Wheelock described Wood as a quiet, conscientious man who fought vigorously for what he believed would be of best bene t to the people of Clear Creek County.
“He wanted to make sure that we squeezed the last measure of good we possibly could out of every penny we spent for people,” Wheelock said. “I think he loved deeply… he was a man of integrity.”
Commissioner Marlin shared the responsibilities, challenges and debates faced by the commission for more than four years.
Marlin described Wood as a strong force who vehemently argued his position in county business but also a man who could see, accept and respect other points of view.
“It’s really hard to be emphatic and objective at the same time,” Marlin said. “He would argue for his option enthusiastically and hear a new fact and just turn around without a thought and say, ‘Oops I was
wrong.’ at’s what grace looks like.”
Marlin said Wood “stood the people’s ground.”
‘We miss our brother’
Sean Wood also served as a volunteer re ghter with Evergreen Fire/Rescue for more than 20 years.
“His death has been devastating to the Evergreen re ghting community,”
Risk Reduction O cer Einar Jensen said.
Although he was a volunteer, Wood achieved the title of driver/ engineer with the department.
“He was a role model,” Jensen said. “He was exceptional, he was a formal leader and an informal leader for the organization.”
Wood retired from the Evergreen Fire/Rescue Department in 2017, however, he continued to be active in his community and proactive in the re service for Clear Creek County, Jensen said.
“He was there for his neighbors countless times,” Jensen said.
Wood’s legacy will live on in the Evergreen re/rescue community, as well as the department’s continuing commitment to his family, Jensen added.,
“Once you’re in the re service, you’re family,” he said.
“Sel essness” is a word associated with Wood and his decades of service to his community by many who knew him.
e end of the resolution read into the county commission record is the simple statement: “Sean, you will truly be missed.”
Wood is survived by his wife and three children.

The DEA has a new approach to combat the problem in the Rocky Mountain regionBY ERNESTO CABRAL
Fentanyl-related overdose deaths hit a new high in 2023 as law enforcement seized record amounts of the synthetic opioid, o cial data shows. At least 1,089 people died from fentanyl poisoning last year, up 18.4% from 920 the year before, according to preliminary data released by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
A surge that started ve years ago has continued, with the number of fentanyl-related deaths increasing more than 900% from the 102 recorded in 2018, data from the health department’s Center for Health and Environmental Data shows.
Denver recorded more deaths in 2023 than any other county with 321, compared with Adams (136), Arapahoe (133), Je erson (124) and El Paso (116).
e health department anticipates releasing nal data in June.
So far this year, 141 fatalities have been reported to the CDPHE, however the data is typically lagging by at least three months. Denver again leads with 37 deaths from fentanyl.
e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s records tell a similar story about Colorado. In 2023, 1,187

fatalities were registered provisionally in the “other synthetic narcotics” category, which mainly comprises fentanyl. Unlike the state agency, the CDC said it does not have an exact number of fentanyl deaths.
e numbers for 2023 mark a 22.2% rise from the previous year and a 785% surge since 2018, according to the CDC database.
“We are facing more than just an opioid crisis in the U.S”, said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse at the National Institutes of Health. “Stimulants like methamphetamine, which is more prevalent in use in the Western U.S., are now increasingly being contaminated or used together with fentanyl.”
Out,” was launched in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Montana by the DEA, IRS and the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Tra cking Area, the DEA said in a news release.
U.S. authorities say fentanyl constitutes a multi-billion-dollar enterprise for Mexican cartels such as Sinaloa and Jalisco, which operate near the U.S. border.
“ e only thing they care about is their money. is interagency operation intends to target the networks and seize their assets through building stronger relationships with the private sector nancial community,” said David Olesky, acting special agent in charge for DEA’s Rocky Mountain Field Division, in the release.
As fentanyl deaths in Colorado soared, the Drug Enforcement Administration seizures of the drug here also spiked. In 2023, the agency conscated a record 2.61 million pills in Colorado, up from 1.9 million in 2022 and 565,200 in 2021. is year, the DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division is on pace to beat those numbers, after seizing 1.4 million pills, between January and March, more than half of the amount seized last year.
In recent years, new legislation, o cial investigations and initiatives from families and schools have emerged to prevent and combat the rising number of fentanyl-related deaths in Colorado, a bill signed into law on April 22 making it legal for students and sta at public and charter schools to carry and administer opioid overdose reversal drugs such as naloxone.

News of the rising death toll comes days after the DEA announced a new strategy to combat fentanyl in the Rocky Mountain region. Earlier this month around 200 money service businesses and nancial institutions that aid in sending money to people in other countries were asked to cooperate in an investigation into the cash owing to support the illicit opioid market.

‘Inadequate funding and sta ng shortages’ are to blameBY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO
A Je co school will dramatically scale back a program for older students with dyslexia next year, upsetting parents who say the unique o ering has made a profound di erence for their children.
Bright MINDS launched at Alameda International Junior/Senior High School in Lakewood three years ago. It’s on the chopping block now because of “inadequate funding and sta ng shortages” and will “be dissolved” after this school year, ac-
cording to a letter sent to participating families last week.
For participating families, including some who commute from outside the district, the news means the end of what’s been a golden needle in a haystack: a comprehensive public school program for students in middle and high school who have dyslexia.
Bright MINDS students will still get some reading intervention next year though much less than most get now. e letter said seventh- and eighth-graders will get only one period of intervention every other day next year, down from two periods daily this year. Other components of Bright MINDS, including sessions to help students with planning and time management, will be discontinued.
Multiple parents said they are
confused about the rationale for the cuts. ey also expressed frustration that the decision has come so close to the end of the school year at a time when school choice decisions are hard to reverse.
In response to Chalkbeat’s questions about the Bright MINDS cut, a district spokesperson said she’d left a message for the school’s principal, Susie Van Scoyk, to understand the school’s “budgeting choice.”
“Schools have the autonomy through their budgets to determine the sta ng and services that are needed to serve their school community,” the spokesperson said by email.
Van Scoyk told Chalkbeat by email that her team was working on a statement.
is year, Bright MINDS — the second part of which stands for Mul-
tisensory Intensive Dyslexia Support — serves about 20 students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Most receive intensive daily reading instruction plus help with skills like planning and organization, since conditions such as attention de cit/ hyperactivity disorder often co-occur with dyslexia. In addition, Bright MINDS teachers join their students in core classes to ensure they’re getting the help they need to absorb the content.
e demise of Bright MINDS, just three years after it began, comes amid ongoing budget woes in Je co as enrollment declines. School ocials originally envisioned expanding the program from grades 7-8 to students in grades 7-12. ey also hoped Bright MINDS could serve
And then move them out of state
BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUNirty years ago in a Boulder garage, Bruce “Bruno” McGowan and Bruce “Edge” Edgerly minted their rst Alpine Trekker, a clunky contraption that enabled skiers to skin uphill in alpine boots and bindings. As their Backcountry Access Alpine Trekker sold, they moved into a dark o ce on North Broadway, next to Boulder’s only strip club, where there was an executed search war-
rant on the oor and a car on blocks in the back room.
When McGowan and Edgerly launched BCA’s Tracker DTS avalanche transceiver in the late 1990s — revolutionizing avalanche safety with the world’s rst digital, multiple antennae beacon — they moved to a new Boulder o ce where they would anchor the launch of the company’s equally game-changing Float avalanche airbag line in 2010.
Ski industry titan K2 Sports acquired BCA in 2013, taking over some administrative tasks while engineering, design and marketing for its avalanche safety gear remained in Boulder. K2 Sports owner Jared Corp. sold to Newell Brands for $16 billion in 2015. Newell sold its winter brands — K2, Line, Volkl, Marker and BCA — in 2017 to private equity rm Kohlberg and Co. for $240 million.
And now, K2 is corralling its operations in Washington and BCA is leaving Boulder.
breaking but inevitable, you know.”
BCA is not alone in leaving Colorado. QuietKat, an electric bike company founded by brothers Jake and Justin Roach in Eagle, quickly pulled up stakes and moved to California as part of a corporate reshu ing. Bikemaker Niner Bikes has left its longtime headquarters in Fort Collins. Denver’s Guerilla Gravity has shut down its bike factory and closed its unique carbon manufacturing business.
As Colorado’s outdoor recreation industry matures and draws investment from heavyweight outsiders, part of that growth includes reshufing, consolidation and new corporate strategies that can pull thriving businesses out of the state.
It’s a result of BCA shifting production from China to a circuit-board manufacturer in Washington. All the assembly, testing, calibration and packaging of the company’s Tracker 4 avalanche beacons — which used to be done in Boulder — will now be done in Washington, near K2’s headquarters.
“ ey wanted the engineering team to be closer to manufacturing, which is mandatory really,” Edgerly said.

“We’ve been suspecting this for about 10 years,” said Edgerly, who two years ago moved away from daily operations to serve as a BCA brand ambassador focusing on how BCA tools can improve safety in avalanche terrain. “One of the main reasons to be in the outdoor industry is to have a fun work environment with like-minded people and to be involved in developing and testing prototypes and being hands-on with products. All that is going away, so it appears my dream career is kind of starting to dissipate, which is heart-
“ ere is always talk of quoteunquote ‘synergies’ and ‘leveraging xed assets’ and other buzzwords that look good in PowerPoint decks,” Edgerly said. “I have not really seen any of that out of this acquisition but you never know. About two years ago, we really started to see some corporate ngers getting into BCA’s operations.”
At one point BCA had 50 employees in Boulder. When K2 took over, that dropped to about 35. ere were about 15 when the company announced last month it would be consolidating its operations in a new headquarters outside Seattle. K2 has asked that about six BCA workers — all the electrical engineers who helped design the company’s airbag packs and transceivers — make the move to Washington.
Guerrilla Gravity closes shop e founders of Guerrilla Gravity, Matt Giara a and Will Montague, spent 12 years innovating a new American-made modular frame and then a rst-of-its-kind carbon manufacturing process for bikes, all from a bustling shop in Denver. e company quietly closed in September. Cycling newsroom Pink Bike reported that investors in the company decided to pull out and shut down the bike-maker.
It appeared last fall that company’s parent, Revved Industries, remained intact after the closure of Guerrilla Gravity, o ering its innovative carbon ber technology and manufacturing process to the cycling and other industries.
Revved in February 2020 o ered investors shares of Revved Industries, o ering $3.2 million in equity shares and selling $2.2 million. In December, Revved auctioned its manufacturing equipment after a
bankruptcy ling.
Guerrilla Gravy co-founder Giara a last fall posted on LinkedIn that he was leaving the company after “introducing the rst modern thermoplastic/carbon ber composite manufacturing to the mountain bike industry, growing from just a couple of us to a pretty large crew.”
“I’m super proud of what we have accomplished, the relationships created, friends made, challenges gured out, machines built, and products made,” Giara a wrote. “Like all things, eventually it’s time to move along, see others carry on the torch.”
Giara a declined to speak about the closure of Guerrilla Gravity. e engineer landed at Supertramp Campers in Golden, helping to design and build a new overland camper.
“ e company has a lot of similarities to Guerrilla Gravity,” he told e Sun.
In December, Niner Bikes announced it was leaving its 13-year headquarters in Fort Collins for Ohio as part of a consolidation by Niner owner United Wheels, the owner of Hu y brand bikes.
United Wheels, a division of Hong Kong-based investment company Covation Holdings Ltd., bought Niner out of bankruptcy in 2018. Niner was founded in California in 2004 and helped prove the e ciency and validity of 29-inch wheels for mountain bikes and recently began making high-end, carbon- ber electric mountain bikes.
Justin and Jake Roach founded
QuietKat in 2012 with a plan to help hunters get deeper into the backcountry with agile but powerful electric mountain bikes. By 2014 the brothers were selling their e-bikes to all sorts of riders, emerging as a top brand in the growing industry. In 2021 they had almost 50 employees and sales were exploding, up 145% in 2020 compared with 2019.
Vista Outdoor Inc., a Minnesotabased conglomerate that owns diverse outdoor brands including CamelBak, Bell, Giro Simms, Remington and Camp Chef, acquired QuietKat in 2021 in for an undisclosed price. e company recently announced plans to create a standalone public company — Revelyst — with 15 of its biking and hunting brands. e restructuring moves brands like CamelBak, Bell, Giro and QuietKat into the headquarters of Fox Racing in Irvine, California, and a warehouse in Kansas City, while other brands shift to Bozeman, Montana, and San Diego.
“It was a quick move,” said Jake Roach, whose last day with QuietKat was April 1.
Keeping companies anchored in small communities as they are acquired or consolidated “can be challenging but not impossible,” said Chris Romer with the Vail Valley Partnership.
While resort communities can nurture entrepreneurs with investment in workforce training and support systems, Romer says the ght to keep businesses local is a perpetual challenge as housing prices soar and rural supply chain issues spike costs.
“Our focus needs to remain on building a culture that supports our outdoor recreation economy and our small businesses, and to continue to support those with an emotional connection to our communities,” Romer said. “Because the nancial bottom line will almost al-
ways be better when consolidated, but the brand alignment and emotional connection with community might never be.”
Cory and Jamie Finney’s Greater Colorado Venture Fund has invested $44.5 million in 37 rural Colorado startup companies, helping to support entrepreneurs beyond the Front Range, including QuietKat.
e Finneys are quick to make sure to not blend the outdoor industry, Colorado rural startups in the outdoor industry and the overall ecosystem supporting rural entrepreneurs in the state.
e outdoor industry is seeing challenges as it emerges from the banner years of the pandemic. Outdoors businesses across the country are tightening budgets and consolidating operations and “some of our rural Colorado outdoor success stories are caught up in this current,” Cory Finney said.
“Sure, they may have had more say of where operations are when they
were private, but the reality is that most outdoor companies right now are focused on survival,” he said.
But the rural Colorado entrepreneurial landscape is vibrant, Finney said.
“ at includes new starts in the outdoor industry. We are still seeing businesses being created at a consistent if not increased pace,” Finney said, noting that the Greater Colorado Venture Fund anticipates investments in another 15 to 20 businesses in the next few years. “ e opportunity set remains strong. It is natural for companies to go through life cycles, but the constant is that the founders have chosen rural Colorado as home and will start their next venture in their community.”

Manufacturer says activity in foothills town is unlike any other
BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMIn less than two weeks of operation, Morrison’s automated speed cameras clocked nearly 9,000 speeding drivers, generating 1.36 tickets every minute.
Morrison Police Chief Bill Vinelli said a representative of the cameras’ manufacturer told him it’s the
highest volume they’ve ever seen.
Tra c Logix provides the cameras, which are set to issue $40 citations at 35 mph — 10 mph over Morrison’s posted speed limit.
“Tra c Logix has these all over the country, and they told me they’ve never seen anything like the tra c in Morrison, Colorado,” Vinelli told the Morrison Town Board during its May 21 meeting. “Anyone who wants to paint Morrison as a speed trap can stand and watch, and see that we have a tra c safety issue.”
One violator was clocked at 61 mph — more than twice the 25 mph speed limit, he said.
that draws thousands of visitors on weekends. Bear Creek Avenue doubles as a state highway, which abruptly transforms into an oftencongested downtown as drivers enter Morrison. Pedestrian safety has long been a concern, and town leaders hope the cameras will help make its main thoroughfare safer.
“ is is data-driven and evidencebased,” Trustee Paul Sutton said of statistics generated by the speed cameras. “It’s a high-pedestrian environment and a public safety issue. Hopefully, we’ll get down to not having 5,000 a week. Five hundred a week would be a dramatic improvement for everybody.”
Vinelli said the cameras ag far more speeding drivers than Morrison’s 15 police o cers can do alone.
“I average about 15 to 18 minutes on a tra c stop,” he said. “In that time, the camera catches another 20. We can’t write enough on our own to equate to what the camera is
helping us do.”
A Morrison speed camera flashes red May 21 to warn a passing driver that they’re over the posted speed limit. The cameras are set to issue citations to drivers traveling 10 mph over the town’s posted 25 mph speed limit. PHOTO BY
e town also had to jump to a higher data plan May 21 to keep up with the spike in online activity the cameras are creating. An image of each car the camera ags for speeding is uploaded daily and transmitted to Louisiana-based Emergent Enforcement Solution, a third-party vendor that processes citations.
“We don’t force anybody to speed,” Vinelli said. “We’re not unique to any municipality in the country. We just happen to be more proactive than a lot of them. But they’re going to this. Every chief I talk to wants to know where I got those. Every community will have them soon.”
e cameras began generating citations May 8. Before that, they’d been in warning mode for 60 days, issuing warnings to speeding drivers with no monetary penalty. One of the cameras is permanently mounted at Colorado Highways 74 and 8, and the other is on a trailer that can be moved around town.

as a model for other schools across Colorado. Former Je co Superintendent Jason Glass, who helped spearhead the program, left the district in 2020.
While the state has made several policy changes in recent years focused on better serving elementary students with reading struggles, older students have limited options unless their families can a ord pricey private schools or specialized tutors. Students who can’t read pro ciently are at greater risk of dropping out, earning less as adults, and becoming involved in the criminal justice system.
Brett Gallegos said Bright MINDS changed his son’s life.
Before the ninth grader began attending three years ago, “He was literally in a ball crying when he would come home from school because he felt so worthless,” Gallegos said.
But Bright MINDS teachers stuck with his son “through thick and thin,” he said.
Recently, his son won an award for making the honor roll, said Gallegos: “It’s a night and day di erence.”
It’s unclear how much Bright MINDS costs annually, but it’s primarily run by two teachers and a school psychologist. e 76,000-student district’s proposed annual budget next year is nearly $1 billion. Maintaining mental health sta ng levels, increasing substitute teacher pay, and ensuring that elementary schools with certain special education programs have assistant principals are among the district’s budget priorities.
Stephanie Bobian said her daugh-
ter called her from school crying when she learned what would happen to Bright MINDS. Bobian said the news was devastating, both because of her daughter’s reaction and because she felt defeated after ”how hard I worked as a parent to nd something like this for my child.”
After her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia in fourth grade, Bobian began a long and desperate search for help. She didn’t have money for $80-an-hour tutoring sessions, but she eventually heard about Bright MINDS through an advocacy group for children with dyslexia.
“To be able to nd something like that in a public school … it’s amazing,” she said. “It’s all in one place and free.”
e Bobians’ home high school is Green Mountain, about ve miles away from Alameda International. But the commute is worth it because Bright MINDS has helped her daughter, Bobian said. e girl, who also has attention de cit hyperactivity disorder, was getting Cs and Ds before she started in the program last year.
“She probably could barely read at a third grade level in eighth grade,” said Bobian.
Today, she’s reading almost at grade level and — like Gallegos’ son — making the honor roll.
“She never thought she could be a good student,” said Bobian. “She’s con dent now, too.”
Bobian’s younger daughter is in second grade and also has dyslexia. Bobian had hoped to send her to Bright MINDS when the time came. Now, that possibility appears to be o the table.
Chalkbeat is a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.
Between slews of di erent strokes, roughly 320,000 competitive swimmers across America come up for air unsure of their placings as they compete against other swimmers and themselves.
e athletes can only hope with bated breath that their score is Olympic-worthy when they breach for the nal time. Only about 800 will make it.
Just seven swimmers registered to Colorado clubs emerged victorious, o cially qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis on June 15-23. Two are high schoolers from the Denver metro area.
Douglas County High School’s Mila Nikanorov and Cherry Creek High School’s Charlotte Wilson headline the group. Both (recently graduated) seniors are rst-team all-state Colorado swimmers and multiple Class 5A state champions. Both also swam club for Highlands Ranch Athletics.
“Ever since I was 13, it was something that I wanted to do. It was a big goal,” Nikanorov, an Ohio State commit, said. “I had smaller goals to keep track of the progress and not make it seem unreachable. I really pride myself in knowing that I stuck with something for at least four years. I got my rst trials cut when I was 17.”
To qualify for the trials, athletes must post a qualifying time standard.
e necessary qualifying times to earn a
trip to Indianapolis are at www. usaswimming.org/.
Because of the registry process for the team trials, athletes may have been born in Colorado but are currently training elsewhere, so they won’t be on this list. Here is the list of registered Coloradans who quali ed, according to USA Swimming:
Mila Nikanorov (age 18 from Douglas County); Charlotte Wilkson (age 17 from Cherry Creek); Madi Mintenko (age 16 from Colorado Springs); Joshua Corn (age 19 from Morrison); Gavin Keogh (age 16 from Erie); Ben Sampson (age 21 from Arvada); Morgan Lukinac (age 20 from Boulder).
Nikanorov recently swam the second-fastest time in Colorado history in the 500-meter freestyle at the high school state competition (4:42.49), just missing Olympian
Missy Franklin’s record by 0.77 seconds. Her time is currently the fastest high school time in the 500-meter freestyle in the country this year, and the second-fastest time in state meet history in all classi cations.
Wilson led Cherry Creek to its fourth straight 5A title and is a twotime individual state champion. Her time of 52.90 in the 100-meter backstroke is the third-fastest time in state meet history among all classi cations.
“It was something I had on my goal list for this year,” Wilson, a University of Virginia commit, said. “I had been trying to qualify for a year and a half since the times came out for quali cations because I’ve been super close for a while.” e multi-year commitment to this goal doesn’t stop now.
Both Wilson and Nikanorov are determined to display their best showings in Indy this summer but are relishing the accomplishment of just getting there.
“I’m just going to have fun with it. I’m already there,” Nikanorov said. “I’m just going to enjoy myself with the experience of going to the biggest meet in the country. I’ve been working on mental skills, just keeping myself calm especially knowing I’m going to be competing at such a high level with very fantastic swimmers as well.”
Positive self-talk is a tool swimmers rely on in what is arguably the most mental sport of them all, Nikanorov said.
It can be easy to get into a negative mindset during di cult sets, so utilizing one or two positive afrmations is more powerful than one might think.
feel coming from Colorado helps
“You have to race fast people to go fast times,” she said. “Having that group of fast swimmers in Colorado, especially people doing distance, which is what I do, really helps me. e competitive aspect of racing people in the state has helped me improve. I’ve practiced with some people from other (Colorado) teams which has been challenging but helpful to see what I can do to improve my training.”
Of the 800 at the trials, a max of 52 (26 men and 26 women) can make the Olympic Team.
Even if Wilson and Nikanorov don’t continue their path to Paris this summer, the locals are excited about the learning opportunity, picking the brains of the best swimmers in the nation this summer.
“Swimming is a really big mental game,” Wilson said. “You can be perfectly physically ready to swim super fast, but any mental doubt or mental hiccup is probably the biggest aspect of not falling short of your goals. For me, the biggest thing is being mentally ready and prepared to swim as fast as I can.”
But mental fortitude can only take you so far, especially once you reach the “top of the top of the top”,
as Wilson put it. Team trials can be the best place to learn and soak up skills from the best in the country, whether you make the Olympic cut or not, Wilson said.
e two Division I swimmers both
“I’m just so excited to swim with the greatest ever,” Wilson said. “I think it’s every swimmer’s goal when they’re little: ‘Wow, I want to make the Olympics.’ I’m just so excited to start training in college and to try and push my limits of what I think is possible for myself.”

Summit falls to Shred 20-15 in first game back in Golden
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COMEven though it wasn’t the kind of homecoming the Colorado Summit players, coaches or fans had hoped for, Golden’s ultimate disc team made its return to Marv Kay Stadium May 18.
e Summit hosted the undefeated Salt Lake Shred, which capitalized o the home team’s turnovers and
handed the Summit a 20-15 loss.
e Summit moved to 1-1 for the season, while the Shred stayed undefeated at 5-0. Going into its May 25 home game, the Shred was at the top of the West Division standings.
e Summit, which was founded in 2022 and played its rst season at the University of Denver, moved to Golden last summer and played the bulk of its home games at Marv Kay Stadium. It nished the 2023 season 8-4 and second in the West Division. is summer, it kicked o its 2024 schedule with a May 4 home game at ornton’s Pinnacle Athletic Complex. However, its rest of its home schedule will be at Marv Kay Stadium.
Hundreds of Goldenites and ultimate disc fans lled the stands May 18, where the Summit seemed to go toe-to-toe with the Shred. Down 6-4 with two seconds left in the rst quarter, the Summit ung a Hail Mary pass to the end zone, which was successful.
Going into the second quarter only down one point and with some additional momentum, the Summit players’ turnovers caught up with them.
e Shred capitalized and widened the gap from a one- or two-possession game to a four-point lead at 11-7 with 2:18 left in the half.
e Summit scored an additional point before halftime, going into the break down 11-8.
In the third quarter, the Shred snagged three consecutive points, creative a ve-point gap that the
Summit couldn’t quite overcome despite promising plays throughout the second half.
Ultimately, the Shred left Golden undefeated while the Summit suffered its rst home loss of the season.
Alex Atkins proved a standout player for the Summit, leading the team with four assists and 44 completions.
Alex Tatum and Noah Coolman also
tied for the most points scored for the Summit, with three each.
e Summit overall had a 90% completion rate versus the Shred’s 95%, and 23 turnovers to the Shred’s 17.
e Summit next hosts the Atlanta Hustle at 7:30 p.m. May 31 at Marv Kay Stadium. For more information, visit watchufa.com/summit.

ORDINANCE NO. 2231
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, REPEALING CHAPTER 15.18, GRADING, OF TITLE 15 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 15.18 SITE IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City of Golden, Colorado (the “City” or “Golden”) is a home rule municipality, organized and existing under Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Charter, Section 2.08.020 of the Golden Municipal Code (the “Code”), the City’s home rule authority and police powers, the City poses all powers, functions, rights, and privileges in the operation of a municipality except those forbidden to home rule municipal cities by the constitution or statutes, and the City Council is the body of final responsibility in all matters affecting the City; and
WHEREAS, the term, “site work” generally means the work taking place on the exterior of a building foundation or independent of the construction of a structure, including, but not limited to, earthwork, grading, utility installation, drainage infrastructure, construction/modification/removal of public improvement, public infrastructure, or of private infrastructure, construction/modification/removal/ installation of a tap, service line, or connection to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems; and
WHEREAS, site work is currently either addressed in building permit applications when they occur in connection with building construction, or it falls under a grading permit when they are not associated with building construction. This regulatory approach is not working because there is no mechanism under a grading permit to address site work that occurs outside those two scenarios and the language in the current Chapter 15.18 - “Grading” is specific to projects consisting only of grading work; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to establish requirements and review of site work/improvements by a permit that addresses site work that isn’t associated with a building permit and also provides a time frame within which site work must be completed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to create a site improvement permit which will be required when doing site work in the following situations: (1) a development which contains multiple buildings to be completed at different times, and (2) projects involving complex earthwork which may include the construction or relocation of utilities, and (3) a project involving the construction/ modification/removal of public improvements, public infrastructure, private infrastructure, taps or service lines or connections to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems not associated with a building permit, and (4) projects where a developer would like to start site work prior to the issuance of a building permit; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the above objectives, the City Council wishes to create a permit process that creates oversight for site work and provides a benefit to the community by ensuring the public’s health, safety, and welfare.
THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO:
Section 1. The recitals contained above are incorporated herein by reference and are adopted as findings and determinations of City Council.
Section 2. Section 15.18 of Title 15 of the Golden Municipal Code, “Grading”, is repealed in its entirety and a new Section 15.18 entitled “Site Improvements” is hereby adopted to read in full as follows:
15.18 – SITE IMPROVEMENTS
15.18.010 – Legislative Intent
It is the intent of this chapter to provide procedures, standards, and review for site work, as defined in this chapter, that is not already addressed in building permit applications, or when it involves earth work only or not associated with building construction. There is a need to establish a process to address this gap in oversight related to site work that isn’t associated with a building permit and also to provide a time frame within which site work must be completed. The requirement and enforcement of a site improvement process promotes the protection of the health, safety, and general welfare of Golden residents and visitors.
15.18.020 – Definitions
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and terms have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
City Engineer means the city engineer or their designee.

Earth Work /Grading means the mechanical removal or deposit of any rock or soil, or any combination thereof.
Fill means the placement of any rock, soil, or any combination thereof either from a location on a project site or imported from an offsite location.
Private Infrastructure means water/sanitary/storm mains facilities or appurtenances, roads, sidewalks, etc. maintained by a private property owner or organization connected to or served by public infrastructure.
Public Improvements means those rights-of-way, easements, access rights, and physical improvements which, upon formal acceptance by the city shall become the responsibility of the city for ownership and/or maintenance and repair, and shall include, but not by way of limitation, the following: curb and gutter, asphalt pavement, concrete pavement, streets of all types, sidewalks, pedestrian/bike paths, traffic signals, street lights, highways, freeway rights of way, easement, access rights, medians, bridges, acceleration and deceleration lanes, culverts, storm drainage facilities including necessary structures, channels, water lines, sanitary sewer lines and all other improvements which upon acceptance by the city are intended to be for the use of and enjoyment of the public.
Public Infrastructure means any public facility, system, or improvement including, without limitation, water, sewer, and stormwater mains and appurtenances, storm drains and structures, utilities, roads, streets, sidewalks, curb and gutter, alleys, traffic signal poles and appurtenances, conduits, signs, landscape improvements, and public safety equipment.
Service line means the line from the city water or wastewater main to the building or improvement to be served.
Site Work/Site Improvements generally means the work taking place on the exterior of a building foundation or independent of the construction of a structure, including, but not limited to, earthwork, grading, utility installation, drainage infrastructure, construction/modification/removal of public improvement, public infrastructure, or of private infrastructure, construction/modification/removal/installation of a tap, service line, or connection to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems.
Tap means the right, physical process, or act of connecting a service line to the city’s water main and/or wastewater main.
15.18.030– Site Improvement Permit
(a) Site Improvement Permit Required. Except as permitted herein, it shall be unlawful for any person to perform site work without first obtaining a permit from the City if the site work is in connection with any one of the following:
(1) Phased Projects. A project involving the construction of multiple buildings where completion of each building and obtaining a certificate of occupancy will occur in phases
(2) Earth Work-Only Projects. A project involving the placement or removal of greater than or equal to 50 cubic yards (YD3) of earth material and not
associated with another project covered under a building permit. The conditions found in the approved plans of the earth work-only site development permit must be met within 180 days of permit issuance but may be extended with written approval by the City Engineer. Each extension will be for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days and must be requested prior to permit expiration and/or prior to each extension expiration.
(3) Site Work Not Associated with a Building Permit. A project involving the construction/modification/removal of public improvements, public infrastructure, private infrastructure, taps or service lines or connections to water, sewer, or stormwater distribution or collection systems not associated with a building permit.
(4) Site Work Prior to Issuance of Building Permit. A desire to begin site work prior to issuance of building permits. However, if a person obtains a Site Improvement Permit to begin work prior to issuance of building permits they are doing so at their own risk as changes to the work covered under the Site Improvement Permit may be required due to a subsequent review of the associated building permit.
(b) Exemptions from the permit requirement. The following activities may be conducted without obtaining a Site Improvement Permit:
(1) Minor earth work projects which meet both of the following criteria:
(i) Involve the placement or removal of less than 50 cubic yards (YD3) of earth material. Material removed from a cut and subsequently placed as fill adjacent to the cut shall not be considered separate disturbances for the purpose of determining whether the 50 cubic yards minor project exemption has been exceeded and;
(ii) Involve less than one-half acre of graded area. Individual lots in subdivision developments under the same ownership, involving less than one-half acre of disturbed area, shall not be considered separate projects if they are contiguous. Any series of related projects or connected projects on one site, which together exceed the one-half-acre limitation or involve the placement or removal of more than 50 cubic yards shall be considered a single project. For example, several one-half acre segments to construct a road would be considered a single project and would be required to obtain a Site Improvement Permit.
(2) Tillage of land that is zoned agricultural or the tillage of a parcel zoned PUD (planned unit development) that permits agricultural uses.
(3) Maintenance and cleaning of ditches, lakes, ponds, and water storage reservoirs.
(4) Maintenance and resurfacing of existing roads, trail systems, and railroad beds.
(5) Performance of emergency work necessary to prevent or mitigate an immediate threat to life, property, or the environment. The person performing such emergency work shall immediately notify the public works department of the emergency and work required. If the emergency work would not otherwise be exempt from a Site Improvement Permit, a permit shall be obtained within fourteen (14) business days of the notification of the emergency.
(c) If a Site Improvement permit is associated with the construction of one or more buildings, the conditions of the Site Improvement Permit must be met, and the Site Improvement Permit closed within thirty (30) days of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for any building associated with the Site Improvement Permit. The timeline may be extended with written consent of the City Engineer. Each extension will be for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days and must be requested prior to expiration of the Site Improvement permit and/or prior to the expiration of each extension.
(d) Permission of other agencies or owners. The issuance of a Site Improvement Permit shall not relieve the person of the responsibility of securing other permits or approvals required by the city or any other entity or complying with all applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations, or for obtaining any easements or authorization for removing or transporting earth materials on property not owned by the permittee.
15.18.040 Permit Fee
(a) Before a permit is issued pursuant to this Chapter, the applicant shall pay to the city a permit fee, which shall be determined in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the city council by reso-
lution from time to time. If the city determines that an application will require review by professional consultants, the applicant shall execute an escrow agreement in a form approved by the city attorney and make an initial escrow payment in an amount sufficient to cover the estimated review costs, as set forth in the fee schedule adopted by the city council. The city may draw upon the escrow, in the city’s discretion, to pay the fees and expenses of professional consultants retained by the city to review the application. The city may require additional escrow funds to be paid for additional services related to the application if they become necessary. If the applicant does not pay additional escrow funds as required within ten days after written notice from the city, then, in addition to other remedies the city may have, the city shall be entitled to a lien on the subject property or the city may elect to certify the assessed costs and expenses to the office of the county treasurer for collection in the same manner as general property taxes are collected. Such liens shall be perfected and may be foreclosed upon in accordance with applicable state laws.
(b) Failure of the applicant to provide additional escrow funds in a timely manner may result in delays in application processing. If a balance is due at the time an application is approved, it shall be paid by the applicant as a condition of approval. If a balance is due at the time an application is denied, it shall be paid by the applicant within 30 days after delivery of an invoice to the applicant.
15.18.050 – Remedies for Non-Compliance
(a) Stop Work Orders. Whenever the city determines that any activity is occurring which is not in compliance with a Site Improvement Permit or being done without first obtaining a required Site Improvement Permit, the city may issue a stop work order. The stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property involved, or to the owner's agent, or to the person doing the work, or shall be prominently posted on or near the affected work, property, or structure. Upon issuance of a stop work order, the cited work shall immediately cease. The stop work order shall state the reason for the order, and the conditions under which the cited work will be permitted to resume.
(b) Civil Proceedings. In case of any violation of any provision of this chapter, or any amendment thereof, the city may, at its discretion, initiate civil proceedings, including administrative citations pursuant to chapter 8.25 of the Code, injunction, mandamus, abatement, declaratory judgment or other appropriate actions or proceedings, to prevent, enjoin, abate, remove, or otherwise correct any such unlawful condition. Civil remedies provided under this section are not exclusive and shall not preclude prosecution for criminal violations under provisions of the Golden Municipal Code.
Section 3. If any article, section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is held to be unconstitutional or invalid for any reason, such decision will not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each part or parts hereof irrespective of the fact that any one part or parts be declared unconstitutional or invalid.
Section 4. All other ordinances or portions thereof inconsistent or conflicting with this ordinance or any portion hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
Section 5. The repeal or modification of any provision of the Municipal Code of the City of Golden by this ordinance shall not release, extinguish, alter, modify or change in whole or in part any penalty, forfeiture or liability, either civil or criminal, which shall have been incurred under such provision. Each provision shall be treated and held as still remaining in force for the purpose of sustaining any and all proper actions, suits, proceedings and prosecutions for enforcement of the penalty, forfeiture or liability, as well as for the purpose of sustaining any judgment, decree or order which can or may be rendered, entered or made in such actions, suits, proceedings or prosecutions.
Section 6 This ordinance is deemed necessary for the protection of the health, welfare and safety of the community.
Section 7. The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code, Municode, is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this ordinance within the Golden Municipal Code.
Section 8. This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days after publication following passage in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Charter for the City of Golden, Colorado.
