It is becoming more and more widely known that Xeriscaping is a good idea, and there are some really spectacular, eye-catching xeric landscapes out there. But how does your average person achieve such beauty and perfection? And what about when life happens – pets, critters, storms, budgets, and lifestyle realities? How does it work then? Does it have to be ugly to be easy?
Join Kenton J. Seth, a genuinely lazy Native Landscape designer and plant nut, to find out the hands-on, real-life answers that make saving water just the beginning of the benefits you’ll reap from your Xeriscape. If this is not one of the most useful classes you take this year, then you might have taken a wrong turn finding the room.

The Rotary Club of Golden is organizing and sponsoring a Community Wellness Fair from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 28 at Golden High School, 701 24th St. The purpose of the Fair is to provide and identify resources for those who are dealing with mental illness issues, particularly within their own family, as well as those who simply want to be more informed on the subject.
The Fair is free and includes classes, presentations, food, entertainment, games and other activities designed to attract a broad audience.
Mental health professionals will lead twelve different classes on subjects such as anxiety, bullying, substance abuse and other important topics. The Fair also includes a showing of the film Inside Out. For a complete list of classes and details, visit goldenrotary.org/fair.
On Saturday, April 28, 2018, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Golden Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give you the opportunity to get rid of expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. By getting rid of these types of potentially dangerous drugs, you can prevent pill abuse and theft. Bring your pills for disposal (the DEA cannot accept liquids, needles or sharps, only pills or patches) to the Golden Police Department at 911 10th St, Golden, CO. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines (flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash) both pose potential safety and health hazards.
The Mines Music Spring Concert is on Sunday, April 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Ford building on the Colorado School of Mines campus, 1301 19th St.

This is a major fundraiser for the band program and money raised goes toward new instruments and other band essentials. For more information, contact Robert Klimek at rklimek@mines.edu.
