Help Ring in Summer
Ring In Summer
The ring of the last school bell marks the official beginning of summer. This year, with students learning remotely, many will not hear that bell ring. So, let's ring in summer and celebrate our teachers, students, and parents - all over Woodland Park! Step outside and ring a bell (or make some noise) on May 21 at 3:00 pm!

Set a reminder on your phone, spread the word, and tag #RingInSummerWP in your bell ringing videos!

Hey mama,  
 
Healing Spot You probably know that
 I'm big on education: Teaching my patients and their loved ones about their bodies, what's going on, what THEY CAN do about it. You might have downloaded my FREE Guides or watched my Youtube videos. But have you watched any of my FB lives? Why don't you hop on my FB live on Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 pm to chat about Diastasis Recti and find out tips on how to heal it.  
 
I'm looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday!
 
Stay Well and Healthy,
Justine

Healing Spot 
A lot of people think that you get old and then you get stiff. It's actually the other way round... First you get stiff - then you get OLD.
 
Right now a lot of people are getting rapidly older faster simply because of how inactive they are. Being inactive also increases things like back, hip and neck pain and once you get that, it's even more likely that you feel stiff and older than you would like. If any of these problems are happening to you - the worst thing you can do is NOTHING. Rest often just stops the pain but it doesn't fix the underlying problem and often creates issues elsewhere. Do something now:

Property Appeals Now Open 
 
The 2020 real property appeals began May 1. Real property values in Colorado are determined based on a two-year appraisal cycle and per C.R.S. (Colorado Statutes) 39-1-104 (10.2)(d), 2020 values will reflect the real estate market in Teller County on June 30th. 2018. Property owners will only receive a notice of value if their property value changes due to changes to the legal description or configuration of the property, for new construction or an addition or remodel of the property, or if the property classification is changed, based on how the property was being used on January 1, 2020.
 
Colorado law specifies that 2020 real property values be based on sales and market data prior to July 1, 2018. The Assessor does not have the ability to recognize effects on property values due to the current pandemic crisis. The market and economic impact to property values due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered during the reappraisal conducted in 2021. Real property values for 2021 will be based on sales and market data prior to June 30, 2020.
 
County Assessors in the state recognize the impact the COVID 19 pandemic has had on the Colorado economy this year; however, assessors do not have the authority to adjust the current (2020) market value. The Colorado Assessor's Association is currently working with Colorado public officials to help find a way to address these issues. The Assessor's office urges you to contact your local state representatives regarding the COVID 19 pandemic.
 
If you disagree with the value of your notice, we encourage you to fill out and mail in the blank protest form located on our website or fill out the online version which will be available May 1, 2020 HERE. At this time, our building is not open to the public; however, you may set up a telephone appointment with an appraiser to discuss the value of your property by calling 719.689.2941.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, call 719.689.2941 or email us at [email protected].

Arise Consulting Hosting Family Stress Free Webinar
Arise Consulting
Maybe you have seen the video of Hayden, the 12-year-old boy that committed suicide a few weeks ago. Hayden showed no signs of depression or anxiety. With the schools being closed and no outlet to expend his energy his parents believe the COVID-19 and mandatory isolation eventually contributed to his untimely death. This is very close to my heart as my son attempted to commit suicide just 2 years ago. We were fortunate and he is still with us today. I wish I had this information sooner. Learning how to connect and communicate with my children, I believe would have saved a lot of pain and heartache.
 
This presentation is free and takes about 30-45 minutes- this is not focused on suicide prevention, but understanding and connecting to your child/children
 
Please click HERE to register for this event, space is limited to 100 people.

Coloradans Asked to Remember Tonight

Tonight at 7:00 pm buildings around Colorado will turn red to honor those we have lost to COVID-19 and stand together with the families of victims in our fight against this deadly virus. You can join by wearing a mask as a symbol that we will do our part and observing a moment of silence.
 
We're all in this together. And tonight we stand united as Coloradans with the families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19. I hope tonight at 7:00 pm you will join me in wearing a mask and observing a minute of silence.

  • Our buildings remain closed until further notice.
  • We are unable to get materials from other libraries at this time.

Basic Steps for RLD Curbside Delivery Service:

1.     Place items on hold
Log in to your account at https://rampart.marmot.org and select your items. Please note that materials showing On Shelf are most likely to be available to fulfill your hold. You may call for assistance, but expect longer wait times:

Tourism Director Letter

Dear Tourism Industry Partners,

I cannot begin to express my sorrow over the way my statement in a media interview on Wednesday was sensationalized into a falsehood that has disappointed and concerned so many valued tourism partners. I know that tourism is key to restarting the state's economic engine and the sooner we can invite travelers to visit, the sooner we support all of the businesses, large and small, that make up our industry.
To set the record straight, see below for a letter I shared yesterday with the Colorado Tourism Board, which offers a far more accurate picture of how and where I am leading the CTO. I hope it addresses your concern, and please feel free to share this with others.

Also, following the letter, please see a statement that clearly describes the CTO's plan for navigating our way to market Colorado, starting with in-state residents. Then, our goal is to extend our promotion to drive markets and ultimately to our national audiences.

Please be assured, despite what you may have seen reported in the media, that the Colorado Tourism Office remains deeply committed to supporting tourism partners and driving the restoration of the Colorado tourism economy at the earliest opportunity possible.
