A
This
week
on
inside
Boulder
news,
Boulder
County
residents
have
one
last
chance
to
apply
for
funding
to
help
recover
from
the
2013
flood
concerned.
Community
members
discuss
the
health
risk
of
sugary
drinks
and
the
Center
for
resource
conservation
offers
new
sustainable
gardening
programs.
This
spring.
B
Who
is
administering
this
program
on
behalf
of
residents
throughout
the
county,
including
the
city
of
Boulder,
and
to
date
more
than
1
million
dollars
has
been
awarded
to
city
residents
to
be
able
to
help
them
recover
and
repair
their
homes.
Following
the
flood.
However,
there
are
some
folks
that
still
have
not
applied
that
we
know
may
still
be
out
there
that
need
assistance
and
there's
limited
funding
available.
C
The
folks
that
need
their
homes
repaired
and
for
people
who
might
need
to
apply
for
rental
assistance,
there's
a
deadline
of
March
31st,
and
that
is
because
we
are
running
low
on
funds
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
stop
collecting
applications.
So
we
can
prioritize
the
applications
which
is
required
for
the
grant.
We
need
to
prioritize
the
applications
in
terms
of
vulnerabilities,
so
the
lower-income
households
and
folks
with
senior
citizens
in
the
home
or
disabled
veterans
have
a
higher
prioritization
score
and
we
work
with
those
households
first.
A
See
if
you
meet
eligibility
requirements
and
to
apply
visit,
Boulder
County
Flood
grants
org
again
the
deadline
is
March.
31St
each
household
that
submits
an
application
will
be
assigned
a
case
manager
to
facilitate
the
overall
process.
A
group
of
concerned
community
members
is
hoping
that
you'll
think
twice
before
guzzling.
Another
can
of
soda.
Yes,
sugary
drinks
are
a
concern
even
in
health-conscious
Boulder.
A
panel
came
together
this
week
to
raise
awareness
about
the
health
risks
and
other
impacts
of
these
beverages.
We're.
D
E
I
think
what
we've
learned
in
public
health
is
that
people
don't
really
understand
how
harmful
sugary
drinks
really
are.
So
we
know
that
there
are
tremendous
health
implications
and
that
sugary
drinks
really
have
no
nutritional
value.
So
the
sodas,
the
energy
drinks,
the
gatorades,
that
you
know
the
sweet
and
coffee
drinks
that
we
have
there
really
isn't
any
nutritional
value
in
those.
E
F
D
Can
make
a
difference
in
an
easy
way?
You
can
substitute
the
glass
of
water
for
for
a
soda,
for
example,
and
they're
things
that
are
our
partners
in
the
boulder
valley
can
do
too.
I
know
that
the
city
of
Boulder
has
looked
at
its
vending
machine
policy,
especially
at
the
rec
centers,
and
tried
to
swap
out
those
sugary
drinks
for
healthier
alternatives
in.
G
Our
three
city
of
Boulder
recreation,
centers:
we
do
have
healthy
vending
guidelines
and
they're
modeled
after
national
recommendations
for
public
spaces,
as
well
as
the
boulder
valley,
school
districts,
policies
for
Healthy
Vending,
and
so
what
you'll
see
in
our
machines
are
water,
salter
waters,
no
and
low-calorie
drinks,
no
sugary,
sweet
and
beverages.
I
think.

The
center
for
resource
conservation
teams,
up
with
cities
across
the
front
range
to
promote
sustainable
gardening
through
the
garden
in
a
box
program
garden
in
a
box
is
a
professionally
designed,
do-it-yourself
low
water
garden
kit.
This
year
the
CRC
will
be
offering
vegetable
gardens
in
a
box
as
well
as
some
unique
gardening
seminars,
city.
H
So
we're
doing
this
hands-on
seminar
this
here,
which
we've
never
done
before
it's
a
four-hour
seminar,
David
Bailey
with
urban
oasis
landscape
design,
is
going
to
be
leading
the
seminar
and
so
for
the
first
hour
and
a
half
we're
going
to
actually
start
right
here
at
CRC
and
do
an
hour
and
a
half
of
classroom,
just
learning
the
basics
about
how
to
build
and
design
your
own
rain
garden
at
home.
And
then
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
hours
we're
going
to
go
to
a
home
in
Boulder
and
actually
build
one
together.
H
The
city
of
Boulder
is
offering
a
free
rain
garden
in
a
box
to
anyone
who,
after
the
seminar,
goes
home
and
says
okay
I'm
going
to
do
this
I'm
going
to
create
a
rain
garden
at
home
and
they
get
the
site
all
prepared.
David
and
one
of
his
people
will
come
out
and
check
the
space
and
say:
okay,
you
could
make
an
improvement
here.
H
You
could
make
an
improvement
here
and
once
we've
come
out
and
check
the
site,
they'll
actually
get
a
free
rain
garden
in
a
box,
so
they'll
have
all
the
plants
to
go
in
there.
That's
the
rain
garden
one,
and
then
we
have
the
veggie
garden
seminar
this
year,
which
we've
never
done.
A
seminar
on
veggie
gardening,
because
they've
pretty
much
all
just
been
xeriscaping
and
then,
like
the
rain
garden
seminar.
Anyone
who
goes
home
and
says:
okay,
I'm,
going
to
do
this.
H
I'm
building
a
veggie
garden
at
home,
we'll
have
a
consultant
come
out
before
they
actually
start
digging
and
say
this
would
be
a
great
space
to
put
your
veggie
garden.
I
would
recommend
doing
this
this
and
this
and
then
once
they've
completed
the
space.
Take
a
picture.
They'll
get
a
free,
veggie,
garden
and
walks
for.

We
may
not
have
any
snow
on
the
ground
now,
but
March
is
typically
one
of
the
snowiest
months
in
Colorado,
and
it's
important
that
Boulder
residents
are
aware
of
the
city's
snow
removal
policies,
Boulder
property
owners,
landlords
and
tenants
are
responsible
for
clearing
their
sidewalks
of
ice
and
snow
within
24
hours
after
snow
stops
falling.
It's.
I
Important
to
keep
our
sidewalks
safe,
there's
a
number
of
handicapped
students,
senior
citizens.
We
have
a
very
active
population,
people
are
out
walking
their
animals
riding
bikes
going
for
a
run,
and
we
just
don't
need
an
unnecessary
hazard
in
the
way
after
24
hours,
complaints
will
start
to
roll
in
at
the
boulder
police
department,
and
our
code
enforcement
unit
will
become
busy
responding
to
those
areas
we'd
like
residents
to
proactively
try
to
keep
their
walks
clear.
If
that
is
something
they
are
not
able
to
do.
I
Ice
busters
is
a
great
program
that
assists
residents
who
are
unable
to
help
themselves.
However,
that
program
is
in
need
of
volunteers
to
assist
after
24
hours.
If
a
sidewalk
is
not
clear,
the
owner
of
that
property
does
become
liable
and
we
in
some
cases,
will
have
to
send
a
contractor
out
to
clear
your
walk
for
you,
which
will
result
in
a
charge.
You.
