The daytime recovery window will stay open to Denver’s small users through July, the city’s compact delegation said Thursday, after talks with Arizona failed to trade it away. Larger industrial users that want the same predictable supply will continue on overnight schedules during the summer review.

Arizona’s water office called Denver’s decision a refusal to share conveyance losses ahead of its July deadline. Denver officials said the protected threshold is for studios, laundries, neighborhood kitchens and repair shops—work that cannot move wholesale into the night without costing staff or customers.

At their 38th Avenue bays, Denver’s mural clinics are adding walk-in dusk appointments for shoulder imaging, support fitting and short rehabilitation plans. The change follows a week of weather holds when exterior crews used every available powered shoulder support; several came back with fit problems, not mechanical faults.

Registered exterior artists and crews, including those working under protected names, can use the service free. Clinic staff said early attention should keep repetitive injuries from being shifted into the necks, backs and wrists of painters and lift operators.

On Thursday, the Aotearoa-Pacific Trench Laboratory recovered an intact 11.4-kilometer mineral and microbial core from the Kermadec Rift. It is the longest continuous sample returned by an untethered deep-ocean system. The vessel-sized sampler spent nineteen days below human-diving depth, sealing each section as it rose through pressure zones that had broken earlier missions.

Researchers said the core holds a continuous record of volcanic pulses, ocean chemistry and deep microbial communities covering roughly 180,000 years. Under the expedition’s open-access agreement, samples will go to public laboratories in Wellington, Suva, Valparaíso and Yokohama. The find carries no commercial extraction claims.

At 10:26, the north kitchen was dark except for Ondine’s red safelight leaking under the darkroom door. Hollis stood at the counter one-handed, trying to peel the backing from a support strip with her teeth. Her wrist screen lay faceup beside the sink: 38TH AVENUE DUSK CLINIC / 19:40 / IMAGING AND FITTING. Cass came down with a coil of riverfront cable over one shoulder and stopped long enough to read it.

Hollis turned the screen over with her left hand. “That wasn’t for you.” Cass set the cable down too carefully. “You’re going tomorrow.” “I’m going when I’m going.” From behind the darkroom door, water ran into a tray; Ondine did not come out. Cass looked at Hollis’s right arm pinned beneath the overshirt, then at the rolled site map on the table. “I’ll do Riverfront,” he said. “Then don’t call me again.”

Hollis laughed once, without humor, and pressed the support strip crookedly across the back of her shoulder. “You do not get to quit my work because you found a date on my screen.” Cass picked up the cable. “It’s not your work after tomorrow.” He took it upstairs before she could answer. Ondine opened the darkroom door only after his steps had gone, carrying a dripping print by its corners. She looked at the upside-down screen and said nothing.
