A Heart of Golden Ore

Friends remember Marv Kay’s dedication to Golden, Mines communities

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anyone who met Marv Kay has a story — of his kindness and generosity, his passion and dedication, his humor and sharp wit.

As his former players Joe McConnell and Brian Glade said: “ ere’s only one Marv Kay, and he was unmatched.”

Kay, an icon of Golden and Colorado School of Mines, died April 19 at age 84. He was preceded in death by his wife, Diane, who died March 15. e two were married for 55 years.

Kay is survived by his children, Chandra Polk and Kendra Sund, both of Golden; three grandchildren; a great-grandson; and four siblings.

Golden Community Garden members kick o season on Earth Day

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While the April 22 snowstorm might’ve canceled some Earth Day events along the Front Range, Golden Community Garden members were undeterred. e garden kicked o its 2023 sea-

son April 22 with Garden Orientation for new members. More than 60 people stopped by to review procedures, tour the plots, and complete a seed exchange.

Angelica Elliott, who’s starting her rst year as garden leader, said her and colleagues wanted to take advantage of Earth Day to get the members together for an orientation and do a few other activities, like planting trees.

“I’m happy so many people showed up,” Elliott said. “ … I think it was a successful Earth Day, regardless of the weather.”

e garden is kicking o its 15th season. It’s comprised of a perennials section, a butter y garden and 75 individual plots.

Matt Burde, a garden steward, said there are both large and small individual plots with respective fees that include irrigation and compost. Members are asked to complete occasional communal work like composting as part of participating in the Golden Community Garden.

About 40-50% of the membership turns over every year, he said, and

e family was holding a private memorial this month, but there will be a public memorial in the coming weeks. As of April 24, the date and time hadn’t been announced yet, but o cials conrmed it’d be held at the Mines football stadium that bears his name.

“He’s the greatest Oredigger ever,” Athletic Director David Hansburg said. “ … Rarely do we see people like Coach Kay who have committed their entire life to one school and the surrounding community.”

Kay was heavily involved with the Mines football program as a player, coach, athletic director

and fan. His last interview with e Transcript was in December, as the Mines football team was traveling to the NCAA Division II National Championship game, when he expressed how he was proud of the Orediggers’ accomplishments.

On top of everything he did for Mines, Kay was also an icon for the Golden community. He served on City Council, including eight years as mayor, and helped shape several local organizations and the city itself through his commitment and leadership.

“Marv Kay was Golden,” the City of Golden stated on its Facebook page. “ ... He helped build our great community into the vibrant place it is today. He will be missed, and his legacy lives on.”

‘The greatest Oredigger’

Kay was born in 1939 in Golden, while his father was a junior at Mines.

After Kay’s dad graduated, the family moved to the Western Slope, where Kay grew up. He graduated high school in Grand Junction in 1956 and returned to Golden for college.

While studying at Mines, Kay lettered in football and wrestling, was heavily involved with fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon, and was named Mr. Engineer during the annual E-Days celebration. He graduated with a mining engineering degree in 1963.

In 1966, after serving in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kay landed his rst job with Mines as an assistant coach in football and swimming. He was named Mines’ head football coach in 1969.

Over the next 26 years, he won a then-school-record 84 games, was the RMAC Coach of the Year in 1975 and 1979, and coached 13 All-Americans and 50 All-Conference players. After his coaching days, he served as Mines athletic director from 19942004.

In addition to his career in athletics, Kay was also a professor and fundraiser for the university. He also served as the inspiration for Marvin the Miner, one of the Orediggers’ mascots.

In 2015, the university named its football stadium in his honor, and

in 2019, he was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame.

Along with all his extensive work at and for Mines, Kay was very involved in the Golden community — its civic organizations and local government.

He served on Golden City Council from 1986 to 1998, including as mayor from 1988 to 1996.

During his time on City Council, Kay was instrumental in approving the city’s capital improvement sales tax. is helped fund improvements to Washington Avenue, expanding the water treatment plant, building numerous recreation amenities, and establishing the Golden Community Center.

Kay also helped start Leadership Golden, served as the Golden Chamber of Commerce president, and served the Golden Civic Foundation for more than 30 years.

Four years ago, the State of Colorado proclaimed April 11, 2019, as Marv Kay Day. People around Golden, the Mines campus and beyond celebrated Kay’s legacy of hard work, dedication and civil service that day.

‘His legacy lives on’

Since his death, many Goldenites, Orediggers and others have been sharing their “Marv Kay stories,” as Mines President Paul C. Johnson described them, recalling how kind, welcoming and caring Kay was.

He was the Mines athletes’ greatest supporter, mentoring many during their time at the university. He always stopped to say hello, have a nice chat and occasional joke with people too, they recalled.

His former players described how much they owed to Kay. He gave them a chance to study and play at Mines; he helped line up summer jobs for them that shaped their careers; and he showed up for them when they most needed him.

Brian Glade, who graduated Mines in 1979, recalled how Kay attended Glade’s father’s funeral, even 10 years after Glade had graduated.

Joe McConnell, also Class of ‘79, said Kay recognized him at an alumni event, even though they hadn’t seen each other in 15-20 years.

“He remembered everybody,” McConnell continued.

Fellow Mines football alumni Bill Zisch and Stu Bennett had similar stories, describing how Kay’s altruistic spirit set an example for those he led as a coach and athletic director.

Marv Kay was the inspiration for Colorado School of Mines mascot Marvin the Miner.

Two former Mines coaches also said Kay was instrumental in their careers, with former women’s basketball coach Paula Krueger stating, “He was an amazing human and leader. His heart was always in the right place. Even after my time at Mines came to an end, he still checked in. ... I will remember him with (love).”

Bennett also highlighted Kay’s dedication, not just to the Golden and Mines communities, but to his family. He said Kay was there for his wife, Diane, in their nal days together, committing himself to her care.

Overall, Golden and Mines leaders hoped Kay’s life would inspire others to serve and lead their community — changing people’s lives through kindness and dedication, just as Kay did.

As Heather Schneider, the Golden Civic Foundation’s executive director, stated: “If you talk to someone around town, whether it be a longtime resident or Mines student or alumni, you’ll likely hear … ‘I love that guy. He made a big impact on my life.’”

What Are Some Affordable Ways to Increase the Attractiveness of Your Home to Buyers?

This week’s column is inspired by an email received from Brock Pardo of PunchListUSA. His company is in the business of helping sellers fix problems identified by buyers in their inspection objections. Toward that end, he also offers free pre-listing consultations and quotes. (I offer free consultations too, but I’m not a contractor, so I can’t give quotes, just refer you to my preferred vendors for implementing my suggestions.)

Being in that business, Brock has no doubt come across some issues which could have easily been addressed prior to putting a home on the market, thereby perhaps selling it for more money.

Usually, when I get an unsolicited email with a “Top Ten” list, I find that it’s not the top ten items I would have selected, but this time I found that I agreed with all of them, so I’m going to adapt his list slightly for this column.

1) Fresh coat of paint. Brock cited a report that interior painting returns a 107% return-oninvestment, and exterior painting a 50% ROI, but I’d add that it depends on condition. If your home has a faded pastel exterior color popular in the 1990s with or without peeling paint, I’d say that a fresh paint job in a more up-to-date color would make a huge difference in first impression and the number of showings

Why Wouldn’t a Listing Agent Want to Maximize the Exposure of His or Her Real Estate Listings?

Although the average real estate agent barely makes a living and either has a second income source or a high-earning spouse, about 10% of agents earn a lot of money — and want to earn even more.

Myself, I make a very good living, as evidenced by the fact that I’m writing this week’s column while Rita and I are on vacation in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. (I’ll be home by the time you read this column.)

But my business model does not involve doing every single thing to maximize my personal income. I get more satisfaction from trying to maximize my service to others, including my clients and the unknown readers of this column. From long before I became a Realtor, I lived by a motto that has mistakenly been attributed to Confucius. “Concentrate on giving, and the getting will take care of itself.”

This column/ad — what newspapers call an “advertorial” — is evidence of that strategy. As a former newspaper journalist trained on the metro desk of The Washington Post in 1968, I decided at the very beginning of my real estate career in 2003 that I would spend my marketing dollars on buying newspaper ad space to publish a real estate column.

It has paid off quite well. Unlike every real estate agent I know, I have never made a cold call or prospected in any way to get buyers and sellers to hire me. (This month, I just realized, is the 20th anniversary of getting my real estate license and starting as a broker associate

at the West office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, now called Coldwell Banker Realty for some reason I have yet to learn.)

This column is my sole outreach to potential clients, and every week I get one or more calls from someone who says, in effect, “I’ve been reading your column for many years, knowing the day would come when I’d call you to sell my home. Today’s that day!”

The above is a long-winded way of saying that I’m happy to abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics (and state law) which says I should put clients’ interest ahead of my own. This brings me back to the question posed in this article’s headline.

Last week, members of REcolorado, Denver’s MLS, received an email detailing how easy our MLS has made it to withhold a listing from all syndication, including Zillow, Redfin, and even REcolorado’s own consumer-facing website, which is www.REcolorado.com

The email cast its guidance in the context of a seller requesting such limited exposure, but I can’t picture any seller giving his/her listing agent informed consent to limit the exposure of their home’s listing to just their listing agent’s own website or circle of prospects. I suspect that the only reason a listing agent would convince his/her client to approve that strategy would be to maximize the chance that the agent wouldn’t have to compensate a buyer’s agent, thereby doubling his earnings

that are set and offers that you receive.

2) Landscaping improvements. These can be quite affordable and, again, make a huge difference in the first impression that your home makes. A couple months’ service by Lawn Doctor can make a big difference in your lawn’s appeal, as can a load of fresh cedar chips for your nongrassy areas.

3) Upgrading lighting fixtures. Those “brass and glass” chandeliers and sconces are so 1990s, and are inexpensive enough to replace with, for example, brushed nickel fixtures. And even if you don’t replace any fixtures, replace all your incandescent or CFL light bulbs with affordable LED bulbs. The best deal on those, I’ve found, are 10-packs available from Batteries + Bulbs (Don’t put the CFLs in the trash. Take them to Home Depot for recycling, because they contain mercury.)

4) Minor kitchen updates. You don’t have to replace your Formica countertop if it’s not damaged or a really bad color, but replacing the faucet on your kitchen sink is an affordable upgrade. I like to see knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets, and you can get affordable ones, as we did, at Hobby Lobby, of all places. Maybe paint or repaint your kitchen cabinets — white is a good choice. Beyond this, I’m happy to bring my stager and consult with you on further upgrades, because kitchens can make a huge difference, and certain improvements are worth considering.

5) Bathroom upgrades. Replacing those 1990s plastic Delta faucets is a nobrainer! And you can find some affordable replacement vanities at home improvement stores.

6) Replace or clean wall-to-wall carpeting. If your carpet isn’t shag and isn’t damaged here and there, cleaning is a must and can be quite affordable. My preferred carpet cleaner is Bruce Ruser of New Look Dry Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, (303) 697-1584, who uses an environmentally friendly system

that utilizes plant-based ingredients. The website www.hostdry.com explains it.

7) Replace older appliances. These can be affordable. Look for Energy Star ratings, too. I had a 1990s home with its original white kitchen appliances. It sat on the market — until the seller replaced them with new stainless steel appliances.

8) Install new door and window hardware. Brock quotes a 2021 Zillow report that updated hardware has up to 80% return on investment. I’d like to see your current hardware before suggesting this update.

9) Declutter and organize. This is more about staging than repair of an inspection issue. We provide a free staging consultation for all listings, and that inevitably includes decluttering, thinning and organizing.

10) Deep clean your home. Again, this is a staging matter. And it’s a nobrainer!

That concludes my version of Brock Pardo’s top ten list. To that list I would add the following:

11) Wash your windows. You’ll need to remove screens when you wash your windows. Don’t reinstall them. Label and store them in your basement or garage. Removing window screens is almost like washing the windows, greatly improving visibility. If any of the screens are damaged (including sun damage), most Ace Hardware stores can rescreen them affordably.

12) Update your floor moldings. At a recent open house, a would-be buyer objected to the older unpainted wood moldings at the bottom of each wall. She said they should be white, and I realized that she’s right. You could just paint them white (maybe requiring priming with Kilz), or replace them all with flat ones that come in white.

Do you have your own suggestions of additional items? Let me know and maybe I’ll feature them in a follow-up column or on the blog posting of this article at www.GoldenREblog.com

Pro ultimate disc team now based in Golden

Colorado Summit plays first home game May 13 at Mines

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado Summit, the state’s semi-professional ultimate disc team, has punched its Golden ticket.

e team, which was founded last year, has found a home in Golden and will play this season’s six home games at Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium.

It kicks o its home season at 6:30 p.m. May 13 against the Seattle Cascades.

“We couldn’t be happier about our permanent move to Golden,” the team recently announced on its Facebook page. “ … It truly is a mountain town that embraces outdoor recreation … at is the de nition of the Colorado Summit.”

e lowdown on the Summit

e Colorado Summit was one of three new teams in the American Ultimate Disc League last year. e league, which is starting its 12th season, is comprised of 24 teams across North America, according to the AUDL website.

Teams play seven-on-seven non-contact ultimate disc, also called ultimate Frisbee. e league is called semi-pro because the

players aren’t paid enough to play full-time, so most have day jobs, but AUDL is the top league in the world.

ere are 20-30 players on the Summit’s roster, and coaches rotate them based on strategy and availability.

Among the players is Golden resident Jonathan Nethercutt, the team’s lead handler — which is like a quarterback. Nethercutt, who also

works at Powder7 Ski Shop in north Golden, led the AUDL in throwing yards last year and has been named a preseason candidate for 2023 MVP.

e Colorado Summit played at the University of Denver last summer, where it averaged 1,000 fans per game across its six regular season home games. With their support, the team won the 2022 Western Division Championship in

its inaugural season.

Overall, games are high-intensity and fast-paced with dramatic dives and jaw-dropping jumps on both o ense and defense.

“It’s perfect for highlights in athleticism,” Sal Pace, the Summit’s majority owner, said of ultimate disc. “ … e scoring is quick and frequent with big throws.”

The Colorado Summit, the state’s semi-professional ultimate disc team, went undefeated in its home games last year at the University of Denver. It hopes to continue that streak at its new home venue, Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium.

The Colorado Summit, the state’s semiprofessional ultimate disc team, went undefeated in its home games last year at the University of Denver. It hopes to continue that streak at its new home, the Colorado School of Mines’ Marv Kay Stadium.

DISC TEAM

e Colorado Summit went undefeated in its home games last year, and the team hopes to repeat that feat in Golden. Not only that, but the Summit is hoping to build on its regional championship and take the national crown this year, Pace continued.

Making the move

After playing at DU last summer, the team started looking for a new home venue because of seating capacity, price and schedule availability. e team’s owners stated in an email that, of all the options they explored, they believed Golden was the best.

Along with its proximity to Denver, Pace explained how the owners liked Golden’s unique character, history and atmosphere. e city’s an “epicenter” for outdoor recreation, as Pace described, and the owners believed it’d be a perfect t for the Summit, which has also embraced Colorado’s great outdoors.

“Golden has its own community identity,” Pace continued, “and we want our team to be a part of that community.”

In February, the Summit hosted a community meeting with Goldenites to talk about its hopes for the 2023 season and impacts from hosting the games. More than 150 people attended the virtual meeting, with most if not all supporting the Summit’s move to Golden.

Afterward, Pace said he went

door-to-door around the stadium to meet the neighbors, who were generally positive.

e team met with Mines, the City of Golden and the Chamber of Commerce multiple times, and has assembled plans to mitigate noise, tra c and other impacts.

Finally, the team signed an agreement with Mines to play at Marv

Kay Stadium this season. Summit’s agreement is year-to-year for now, which Pace said is typical, but he hoped Golden will become the team’s forever home.

What to expect this summer

e team’s still nalizing details, but Pace hoped to o er Goldenites free tickets to either the Summit’s

May 13 or May 20 home games. Games have a family-friendly atmosphere, with face-painting, games, on- eld activities between quarters, and a “base camp” set up by the Summit’s sponsors and partners.

e Colorado Summit’s house band, Brothers of Brass, plays in the stands before every game, and then a di erent musical artist performs “Rocky Mountain High” before each

“You don’t need to be a fan of ultimate Frisbee to come and have a good time,” Pace continued. “ … We put a heavy emphasis on creating an entire experience.”

Fans will be directed to park on the Mines campus, not in the surrounding residential areas. With school out for the summer, the team owners believe the on-campus parking will meet the demand for the games.

After each game, to discourage fans lingering around the stadium, Pace said the team will host an allages after-party at local establish-

e Colorado Summit has already partnered with several local businesses and nonpro ts, and is looking to become an active member of the Golden community by participating in activities beyond ultimate disc games.

“We’re going to embrace the community,” Pace said. “And if we do everything as we plan, the community will embrace this team as well.”

EARTH DAY

Garden Orientation helps introduce new members to the garden, its resources, and fellow members.

“We grow produce, flowers and community,” Burde continued.

The garden is not only about ecological sustainability, but about social sustainability and

ensuring the garden is still here in 100 years, Burde explained.

He summarized it as: “It’s about treating the earth right, and treating each other right.”

GCG is hosting two public events this summer: a plant sale May 21-22, and an Aug. 17 music night with Golden’s own Big Hooray Bluegrass band. Both will be at the garden at 1506 Eighth St.

Golden, Mines will exchange parking lots during busy seasons

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the battle to provide ample downtown parking during the summertime, Golden has added a 200-space parking lot to its arsenal.

The city and Colorado School of Mines have agreed to exchange parking lots during their respective busy seasons.

While the exact start and end dates will vary each year, the city will have access to Mines’ Lot K — which is along Clear Creek near Stermole Soccer Stadium — from mid-May to mid-August. Meanwhile, Mines will use the Splash aquatic center’s parking lot off Illinois Street during the school year, likely in conjunction with a shuttle service to transport commuters to campus.

Both parking lots contain approximately 200 spaces, officials confirmed at a recent City Council meeting. The agreement doesn’t involve any physical improvements to either lot, although Mines will be responsible for snow removal

at the Splash lot during the school year.

The agreement is in place through summer 2024, but could be extended.

“Surface parking lots that are empty aren’t a great use of land or public space,” Mayor Laura Wein-

berg said at the April 11 City Council meeting. “ … (This exchange) is a great idea.”

Rick Muriby, the city’s director of community and economic development, described how both the city and Mines believe this exchange will benefit the entire community by maximizing parking efficiency and reducing congestion.

“This is a great reservoir of extra parking for the city,” Muriby said of Lot K. “It’ll be great in preventing congestion in the (surrounding) neighborhoods, so people aren’t parking illegally or circling around (looking for parking).”

Golden has rented Lot K from Mines before during special events, like last summer’s Buffalo Bill Days. However, this will allow downtown visitors to park there throughout the summer, which Muriby hoped would alleviate illegal parking and traffic congestion in the surrounding neighborhood.

For Mines, the campus has lost some parking with ongoing construction. There’s a need for overflow parking for staff, students and event attendees, Muriby described.

The councilors expressed a few concerns about Lot K, specifically motorists not being able to tell that it’s full until it’s too late. They were concerned about motorists looking for parking, driving down the access road to Lot K, not finding any open spots in the lot and then having to drive back out — creating more congestion.

They discussed putting up “lot full” signage during weekends and/or events, which Muriby clarified would be the city’s responsibility while it’s using the lot during the summer.

Weinberg commented: “There are regularly people driving down 11th (looking for parking). This might make it more productive. Just got a little farther, and there’s more spaces available there.”

Muriby and City Manager Scott

Vargo both said signage and communication will be important as the summer approaches. Vargo added how the city wants to implement a system to indicate how many spaces are left in certain parking lots, which is part of a larger effort related to the city’s downtown parking study.

Parking study, shuttle service

Regarding the downtown parking study, Muriby explained April 19 how staff is presenting recommendations to City Council at a May 9 work session, and is looking for direction on which ones to pursue and how.

One recommendation is the downtown circulator shuttle, which the city plans to launch this summer and expand once the school year starts. Muriby said the city and Mines are partners in the effort, but Mines has experienced supply-chain-related delays in acquiring its vehicles.

So, Golden’s partnering with a vendor company, which will provide its own vehicles and drivers, and drafting a route for the summer. The circulator shuttle will be separate from any shuttles for tubers, Muriby commented, as tubes won’t be allowed on the circulator shuttle.

Overall, Muriby explained, the goal behind all these efforts — using Lot K, starting a circulator shuttle, improving signage and more — is to solidify downtown Golden as a “park once” environment.

City officials hope those frequenting downtown Golden will park somewhere suitable and then walk, bike, or ride the shuttle to get to their destinations.

“We want to improve the ‘park once’ philosophy,” he continued.

“That’s the goal — to really allow that environment to flourish and for people to feel like that’s a viable option for them to come to Golden.”

Bandimere Speedway to close in October

Owners looking for a new drag-racing location

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e roar of drag-race engines will go silent in Morrison in October when Bandimere Speedway closes for good, in part because drag racing and residential development aren’t always a good mix.

With the burgeoning residential development in the area, the Bandimeres are planning to sell their property along C-470 and nd a new location in the metro Denver area, according to John Bandimere Jr., the speedway’s chief spiritual o cer, who released a video message on April 21 on the closure plan.

“We are prepared to surrender the location we have called home for six decades,” Bandimere Jr. said.

Morrison Mayor Chris Wolfe said he was excited for the next chapter for the Bandimere family.

“Of course, they will be greatly missed, and they have been a wonderful neighbor to the town.,” Wolfe said. “We wish them the best on their 65th anniversary of racing.”

According to Bandimere Jr., John Bandimere Sr. and his wife Frances opened the racetrack originally in Arvada in 1956 as an expansion of their automotive machining and auto parts business and to provide “a place for people, especially for young people, to enjoy the speed and performance of the automobile and to get o the streets.”

In 1958, because of neighbors’ concerns in Arvada, the Bandimeres

moved to what at that time was a remote area west of Denver against the hogback. Fast forward to 2023, and again, the venue is looking for a new home to allow drag-race enthusiasts to continue to enjoy the sport.

“As we close this chapter, our family is taking the time to re ect on the hundreds, maybe thousands, of memories on under Mountain, and they are great memories,” Bandimere Jr. said. “Our relationships with employees, racers, sponsors, sanctioning bodies, guests and service providers will remind us daily of what a privilege it’s been for my family to continue the legacy started by my parents.”

Got a Casa Bonita story?

He said knowing how the Rooney Valley has grown, the family has been proactively looking for another location for about a year.

“Much the same as in 1956, the opportunity for a multi-use facility for drag racing is providing an exciting opportunity for our family, though a stressful one,” he said.

In 2021, the Bandimeres hosted a community meeting through Jeffco Planning & Zoning to rezone the 136-acre Speedway property

to signi cantly increase what the property could be used for including commercial and mixed-use residential developments. e proposed ODP would limit residential development on the site to a maximum of 400 units and contain triggers requiring retail development before commercial development could take place.

Je co Planning & Zoning has not responded yet about whether the rezoning request was formally led.

Casa Bonita’s famed fountain turned on in mid-March and the internet went nuts. It was another reminder that the grand reopening of the eclectic pink building isn’t too far away. e anticipation has naturally led to a little nostalgia about the Casa Bonita that residents remember. We would love to share these stories.

What kind of memories does the establishment hold for you and your family?

Send your stories, photos or even videos of the old Casa Bonita to Jo Davis at jdavis@coloradocommunitymedia.com. ey could become part of a nostalgia piece on Casa Bonita.

Bandimere Speedway will close this fall at the end of its season, and the owners are looking for a new location for the drag-racing venue.

Sitting Bull portrait sells at auction to private bidder

BY SANDRA HALE SCHULMAN ICT

e rare portrait of Lakota leader Sitting Bull that was up for sale at Blackwell Auctions sold for $67,100 in mid-March to a private purchaser from the northeastern United States.

e portrait was one of four paintings of Sitting Bull created by New York artist and activist Caroline Weldon, and is thought to be the only one still in private hands.

Stored for decades and needing repair, the solemn portrait of the charismatic Lakota leader was consigned to auction by heirs of the original owner from 1890. e artist’s friendship with Sitting Bull was made into a 2017 lm, “Woman Walks Ahead.”

“I just tried to promote it as best I could,” Blackwell auctioneer Edwin Bailey told ICT. “I knew that it was a very special piece, and the story was absolutely fascinating. e deeper I got into it, I watched the movie and contacted the historical researchers.”

Bailey says the painting was special because it is “vastly superior to the other two Weldon painted. e value of the painting was based on its subject matter and its dramatic history, not the popularity of the artist or broad demand for the artist’s work, which is usually what drives the value of a piece of art.”

Daniel Guggisberg, historian and researcher, told ICT that the portrait was

not done from a sitting, one of several revisions to the story that was portrayed in the 2017 lm featuring Jessica Chastain as Weldon and Michael Greyeyes as Sitting Bull.

“It is based on a portrait made by photographers Palmquist & Jurgens of Minneapolis in March 1884,” Guggisberg said.. “ e other two known paintings of Sitting Bull she made are based on photographs, notably by William Notman & Son of Montreal, taken in August 1885 while Sitting Bull toured with Bu alo Bill’s Wild West. She did not paint from life - would not have the means to do so and Sitting Bull certainly would not have agreed to sit for a painted portrait for hours or days on end. Caroline Weldon certainly had artistic talent, but not beyond an amateur’s level.”

Weldon went to see Sitting Bull (18311890) in the late 1880s to help him politically, not to paint him. She ended up staying and moving into his camp at the Standing Rock Reservation with his family.

Guggisberg said that “the painting presumably was made while Caroline Weldon had brie y returned to Brooklyn in the latter part of 1889 and early 1890. e date on the painting is 1890.” Weldon is believed to have sold the painting to the man whose heirs recently put it up for auction.

Amid risk of living on wildfire-prone grasslands, Boulder County’s search for solutions

BY TIM DRUGAN BOULDER REPORTING LAB

e Marshall Fire exposed the need to reduce wild re risk on the grasslands of Boulder County. But there’s a problem: Even the best reprevention techniques on the plains don’t work as well as they do in the mountains.

“Grasslands are much di erent than forests,” said Katharine Suding, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, who is advising a Boulder County grasslands working group established to help prevent another Marshall Fire.

On the plains, Suding said, a re can burn all plants in its path only to have intact roots grow back stalks within months. Trees take longer to return. If a re thins a forest — through a wild re or a prescribed burn — that forest enjoys at least a few years of reduced risk. Grasslands don’t.

“We might get a year of protection after a prescribed re” on the plains, said Stefan Reinold, a resource manager for county Parks and Open Space. Reinold is also a member of the grasslands working group, along with scientists, land managers, ditch company mangers and re protection district members. e group is a subset of the Boulder County Fireshed that is made up of a similar cohort of local scientists and land managers working to reduce re risk.

A former forester for the county, Reinold said prescribed burns are di cult to implement in the mountains — and even harder on the plains. Much of the county’s open space on the plains is leased agricultural land. Farmers who might be open to their grasslands being scorched intermittently probably don’t want them burned every year, which is what it would take to be e ective.

Still, the public, especially those recovering in the Marshall Fire burn scar of Superior and Louisville, want something done.

“ ere’s a lot of pressure, of course, to come up with solutions,” Reinold said, and he is sympathetic. “But one of our biggest concerns is there is no clear solution with grasslands. If there were, we would be all about it. We’d be out there trying to decrease re hazard in every aspect we could.”

Reinold said since the Marshall Fire, the county has been criticized by residents for mismanaging its grasslands. One of the suggestions residents often make is increased grazing. But much of the area burned by the Marshall Fire had been grazed — multiple times — in the year leading up to the re.

“We grazed three times,” Reinold said. “Which is getting to the level of overgrazing in some areas that abut Louisville.”

Mowing is another recommendation he often hears. ough it cuts some re fuel, mowing leaves vegetation on the ground where it can still carry re. And the amount of mowing required is untenable.

Reinold said Boulder County has 343 miles of agricultural property lines. Should Parks and Open Space put a 100-foot bu er along property lines to protect vulnerable neighborhoods, it would equal almost 4,000 acres they’d have to mow — “and often” — because the grass keeps growing.

Reinold raised the possibility of planting low-growing vegetation where prairie and neighborhoods meet, the idea being such vegetation wouldn’t burn with the ferocity of dried-out grass.

“ ere’s no data saying that would work,” Reinold said. “But we could try.”

But weather conditions that fueled the Marshall Fire might have overcome even perfect grasslands management. Eighty mile-per-hour winds came after a fall that saw almost no moisture.

“Anytime a re has gotten established with winds less than 30 miles per hour, we’ve gotten control of it,” Reinold said. “But nothing has proven able to stop a re backed by 80 mile-per-hour winds.”

Suding agreed, saying the risk of catastrophic res will increase as fall in Boulder gets drier with worsening climate change. “ ere are actually many grassland res each year in this area,” she said. “But most occur when the plants are green and weather conditions are not super windy, so they get put out before they get big.

“In wind events like what occurred during the Marshall Fire, it would be hard to imagine that any active management of grasslands could reduce the risk.”

Suding said a better bet might be investing in active patrols to spot ignitions on high-risk days and safeguarding homes.

Such safeguarding, also known as home-hardening, is the specialty of the Wild re Partners Program that has mainly worked with homeowners to reduce their re risk in unin-

corporated western Boulder County. Using money from the 1A sales tax that passed last year, Wild re Partners is expanding into eastern Boulder County, helping residents understand the re risks certain choices might pose to their homes

— like wooden fences, shrubbery up against siding, and vegetation prone to violent incineration, like junipers. Reinold said home-hardening, coupled with experimental techniques like targeted grazing is our best bet

‘Rate payer revolt’ demands end to dependence on gas-fired energy

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Consumer advocates held a “Rate Payer Revolt” at the Colorado State Capitol to urge lawmakers to address what they see as the root cause of the recent extreme spikes in utility bills: the state’s reliance on natural gas.

Danny Katz, executive director of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, said at the April protest lawmakers and utilities should take steps to protect ratepayers by tapping new federal funds to speed up the transition to sources such as wind and solar, which are produced locally and are not commodities traded on a global market.

“And if we want to make sure that we are not getting ripped o as consumers into the future,” said Katz, “we need to do more to reduce our reliance on gas to heat and power our homes and businesses.”

Xcel Energy has blamed spikes in heating bills on rising wholesale gas prices and market forces beyond its control. It has launched a costadjustment plan to give consumers some relief.

CoPIRG and other groups are urging the Legislature to take steps to lower the state’s dependence on gas - including maximizing e ciency and ending ratepayer subsidies for new gas infrastructure, lobbying and legal expenses.

Xcel and other utilities have added clean-energy capacity, but continue to see natural gas as an important

“As far as I know, no painting by Carolyn Weldon has ever sold at auction,” Guggisberg said. “While the story in the lm was greatly changed, even without the motion picture, I still think this would’ve been an amazing piece because of the story.”

Bailey said Weldon endured a lot of heat — even physical violence — for promoting Native rights in the late

1800s.

Bailey said he started the bids on March 18 at $20,000 and said the nal sales gure was reached in about two minutes.

“It didn’t have any bids on it to start with, advanced bids, pre-op option bids,” he said. “ ere were several people that just got on when the option started and it ran to where it ran. at’s one of those pieces that could have gone anywhere. “

Bailey said the seller is granddaughter of William Lafayette Darling, a railroad engineer from St. Paul that

was involved in the construction of the Northern Paci c Line at the time that went through the Dakotas on to Montana and Idaho. He is believed to have purchased the painting from Weldon. When he died in 1938, the painting went to his daughter and then to her daughter in 1990.

e painting will soon be shipped to the new owner.

at avoiding another Marshall Fire. Targeted grazing puts cows on highrisk areas, like borders of prairie and neighborhoods, to munch down fuel before the fall shoulder re season.

Suding added that creating better models for grassland re risk — an historically underrepresented research area when compared to forest wild res — should be a top priority.

“We need to know more before making quick decisions,” she said, explaining that hasty actions to reduce re risk might not only fail to do so, but could also harm the landscape. “If we only think about reducing grassland fuels and do it by mowing or other treatments, that might really damage soil health and

In early June, members said they hope to put out a document to show residents what is already being done to address re risk on grasslands, and what practices should be adopted moving forward.

e main takeaways of their work will likely be a combination approach: some grazing, some prescribed burns, and some investment from the public in protecting their properties as best they can.

“ ere’s no silver bullet,” Reinold said. “If there was clear information of what to do, people would have done it already.”

Some people just like to get things done

Although I’ve lived in a small Western town for 30 years now, I have never known much about one of its fundamental institutions, the service club. Many small-town residents still center their lives on Lions, Elks, Rotary or similar organizations.

Not me: I’m not a joiner. Yet as our national culture moves farther away from such settings for broad discussions, I worry that I’m part of the problem.

A while ago when I was asked to speak at our local Rotary Club, I hesitated, picturing white guys networking with each other and complaining about newcomers. But I had published a book, and publishers instruct authors to market wherever you can.

Upon arrival, I cataloged the changes since my last Rotary visit decades ago: e president was a 20-something woman, we ordered o a menu, and people seemed less guarded.

Our local Rotary, I learned, was known as relatively liberal, and some of the older men seemed pretty vigorous. e faces re ected the town’s lilywhite complexion, but I noticed that the room contained Republicans and Democrats, evangelicals and atheists, entrepreneurs and socialist-leaning

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

nonpro t workers, feminists and fans of traditional gender

Of course we didn’t talk about any of that. As one man said, the point of the club was to avoid ideology in order to focus on projects that help people. Perhaps that’s why they’d invited an author — to be sup-

So we talked about something close to my heart, and as it turned out, to theirs. My book, “Natural Rivals,” chronicles a 1890s collaboration between Sierra Club founder John Muir and U.S. Forest Service founder Gi ord Pinchot. e two men are often seen as enemies: Muir’s preservation philosophy dictated a hands-o policy to nature, while Pinchot advocated aggressive management of natural resources to provide for human needs.

So when Muir and Pinchot camped together in 1896, alongside Montana’s Lake McDonald in what would later become Glacier National Park, did they argue about whether to cut trees or dam valleys? No. ey set aside their

ideological di erences to focus on a bigger threat.

e then-new idea of public lands — national parks, national forests, and other lands held collectively and managed with public involvement by our democratic government — was controversial. While disagreeing about the priorities for those lands, Muir and Pinchot were united in believing that public lands mattered.

e Rotarians I met immediately connected with this message. at’s what lively small town folk do: Set aside di erences to get things done.

By contrast, in metropolitan areas, I’ve found that people resist the message about collaborating on common goals, especially when I suggest it could work today. Surely the 1890s were di erent, they say. Ideologies were different, or personalities were di erent, or the stakes were not as high.

To me, the di erence is that today we cluster in like-minded neighborhoods. Our stores, restaurants and media are all ideologically segregated. We wrap our identity in ideology. And we forget how to nd common ground.

I say “we” because I do it, too. My attempted justi cation is the one I mentioned: I’m not a joiner.

But John Muir wasn’t a joiner either.

e individualistic mountaineer wasn’t even an o cial member of the blueribbon commission visiting Montana’s Lake McDonald. He just decided to tag along so that he could converse with — and listen to — people who disagreed with him.

In the dramatic results of those conversations, Muir’s essays and interviews of 1896 and 1897 merged his ideas with Pinchot’s to help persuade citizens of the value of public lands.

If we still think of today’s Rotarians as old-fashioned, maybe it’s because they attract members of all stripes who embrace idealistic values about helping people help themselves. I learned, for example, that they work to end the scourge of polio internationally while providing scholarships to high school kids. And they don’t have a political test for pitching in.  ey just pick their causes, and then they ght for them.

He lives in Montana and is the author ofseveral books including “Natural Rivals: John Muir,” “Gi ord Pinchot” and “ e Creation of America’s Public Lands.”

Make new memories at Golden Super Cruise

So, one beautiful summer afternoon, about 35 years ago, I was driving up the hill on Washington Avenue with the windows open and some cool tunes playing the radio. As I was just about to pass the Foothills Art Center, I heard this sort of whooshing sound and noticed some kind of light by my feet. I looked down and, holy cow, the oor of my car oround the pedals was on re! I kind of freaked out, turned on the next side street, slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car. I couldn’t believe it, the whole oor in the front of the car was in ames.

Now, in those days, we didn’t have cell phones so I had to run across the street to a business with a phone and get them to call the re department. By the time I got back to the car, the entire thing was basically a bon re. It looked like a scene in a movie where someone torched a car to cover up a murder or something. e entire interior was ablaze, so was the engine and smoke was even billowing out of the cracks in the trunk.

it does take a few minutes to drive up from the re house, and the re spread so quickly that by the time they could get there, the tires were starting to blow up from the heat and sounded like gunshots just as they were arriving. I remember one of them going boom as the rst reman got out of the retruck and him kind of smiling and saying “Yup, it’s on re alright.” ey blasted it with a hose and put the re right out, but by then the car was a total loss. Ended up being towed o to the junkyard. Turned out that my gas line had ruptured and the fuel ignited.

I think about that car and incident when the weather warms up around here. Usually on the rst Saturday of the month as I’m driving on South Golden Road. Why? Because that’s when our Golden Super Cruise is happening and that car…it was an all-original 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass

SeriesFest returns for a blockbuster Season 9

After a bit of a pandemic slowdown, SeriesFest, which celebrates emerging and underserved voices in episodic storytelling, is back bigger and better than ever, over owing with top-notch television viewing for all audiences.

“We’re excited to engage with everybody in the community about all the great stories being told,” said Randi Kleiner, co-founder and CEO of the Denver-based non-pro t. “We’re looking forward to people getting together to be part of great conversations about all the exciting things happening in the industry.”

Running from May 5 through May 10, SeriesFest Season 9 features a wide range of in-competition pilot screenings, panels, workshops and premieres from big studios, including Net ix, Amazon Freevee and Universal Television.

In addition to an array of episode showings, the lineup includes fascinating panels like, “Actors with Disabilities Making eir Mark in Hollywood: What More Needs to be Done,” “ e Art of Adaptation: Beyond the Book” and “Turning Podcasts into Television’s Next Big Hit with Orbit Media.”

As usual, the event wraps up at Red Rocks with a night of special performances — this year the evening features headliner Chelsea Handler and guests Jay Pharoah and Adam Ray. ere will also be a screening of Fox’s “Animal Control,” with star Joel McHale on hand to discuss the show and perform a stand-up set.

Whether audiences attend one of the special events or just catch a screening, they’re in for a television viewing experience that most don’t have — one that features the episodes shown on the big screen and the chance to connect with others.

“So much is happening in the industry right now and that’s what is so exciting,” Kleiner said. “You really have the opportunity to see the shows you love, meet the creators and learn

something you didn’t know.”

With so many great options, here are two SeriesFest events audiences shouldn’t miss.

‘Grown’ screening —

Many viewers know Jocko Sims from his roles on shows like “ e Last Ship” and “New Amsterdam.” But for “Grown,” Sims explored the power of storytelling in a di erent way — as executive producer, writer and director.

“I’ve been a creator for pretty much all of my life… and this was something I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the time,” he said. “But I took the time and made it a priority and it has been such a ride ever since.”

“Grown” will be screened as part of the Independent Pilot Competition: Comedy Block 1 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 6:15 p.m. May 17, and will also be shown to local high school students as part of High School Day.

e pilot, which won SXSW’s TV pilot competition, is about 14-year-old Rogelio (Josiah Gabriel), who recently lost his father and is struggling with what it means to be an adult. He and his friends Larry (Tristan-Lee Edwards) and Chaz (Giovanni Cristo ) decide to sneak into a strip club, leading to a reckoning about who Rogelio thinks he is and who he wants to be.

“Grown’s” participation in the festival is a sort of homecoming for Sims — “New Amsterdam” made its premiere at SeriesFest back in 2018. He’s eager to be back to share a story that means a great deal to him and hopes it connects with viewers, particularly students.

“I’d love for the youth to be inspired in whatever way they can,” Sims said.

‘Primo’ world premiere screening — May 8

For Shea Serrano, a New York Times best-selling author and culture critic, working as creator, executive producer and a writer on “Primo” was a daily reminder of how much creative potential is unlocked when people work together.

“All of these incredibly talented people spent a lot of time working on it and I’m thankful and proud every time I sit down to watch it,” he said. “I watch the show and I see everybody’s ngerprints all over it.”

Amazon will unveil the rst season of “Primo” on May 19, but its worldpremiere screening will be at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, May 8, at the Sie FilmCenter. Serrano and actors Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Christina Vidal will all be on hand for a discussion afterwards hosted by Diaspora’s Dino Ray-Ramos.

e show, which is executive produced by Michael Schur (“Parks and Recreation”and “ e Good Place”), is based on some of Serrano’s own ex-

periences growing up in San Antonio. It follows 16-year-old Rafa Gonzales (Diaz-Silverio) as he comes of age with the help of his mother, Drea (Vidal), and ve uncles.

Since “Primo” has its roots in such personal experiences, Serrano was able to ll the show with speci c references and jokes his family and friends will recognize — everything from costume choices to a shout out to a favorite A Tribe Called Quest song.  Some shows become like a warm blanket — something viewers can turn on when they need to feel better about being alive, and that was the goal for “Primo.”

“ at’s my ultimate dream for the show — that ‘Primo’ becomes a part of somebody’s lineup in that situation,” Serrano said. “You are unwinding at the end of the day and you watch an episode or two and see what the Gonzales family is getting up to in San Antonio.”

Pat Calkins, 93, who lived with an abundant spirit and endless love of family as a mother, wife, friend, grandmother and great-grandmother, died April 13, 2023, at the High Pointe Memory Care Center in Denver. A celebration of life will be held on July 18, 2023, at the Mount Vernon Canyon Club at 10:00 a.m.

Born July 19, 1929, in Goodland, Kan., Pat grew up on her parents’ ranch outside of Goodland and cemented a love of animals with the farm’s menagerie of horses, lambs, calves, goats, dogs and cats. e family moved into town when she started Goodland High School.

After graduating, she attended Colorado Women’s College in Denver before marrying omas J. Carney in 1948 and moving to Golden, Colo. ey later divorced. eir son T.J was born in 1952 and their daughter Diane was born in 1955. She made their lives fun and strong, and guided her children with skill, verve and self-assurance. She was always active in their activities and many of her own.

Pat obtained a real estate license and became manager of Crestmoor Downs residential complex in Denver in the late 1960s. She also thrived as a homemaker and loved cooking and baking for family members. Holidays, especially, brought out the joy and

sharing she gave to so many others, and she worked with children and grandchildren teaching them her skills. Pat married George W. Calkins in 1981 and they lived in Englewood, Colo., until his death in 2014. She also was preceded in death by her parents Lester and Teresa Amack and her sister Phyllis Amack Cichowicz.

Survivors include her son omas J. (T.J) Turner (Deborah) Carney, Golden, Colo; daughter Diane Lee Carney, Glendale, Ariz.; granddaughters Amber Hall, Conifer, Colo., and Sonia (Scott) Moen, Danville, Calif.; grandson Ross (J.J.) Carney, Lakewood, Colo.; and great-granddaughters Alexis Hall and Eleanor and Arabelle Moen.

Also surviving are stepson Bradley Calkins; step-grandson Buzz Calkins; step-granddaughters Hillary Sempel and Darcy Calkins; and step-great-grandchildren Harper, Marin and Bradley Calkins and Ashby and Peyton Sempel. Her longtime personal assistant Jean Diehl also survives.

Foraging is the act of gathering wild plants from nature, generally to be used for food, and sometimes to make other products. For Davis and other foragers, spring means plants are starting to grow –which means kitchens will soon be full of wild foods ready to be prepared in creative

“I think one of the biggest challenges with edible wild plants is that people don’t always know how to prepare them,” she said. “We all know how to cook spinach, we all know how to make broccoli — but we don’t all know how to cook tumble mustard so that it tastes good. So in my classes, I like to give students that experience of preparing an edible wild plant — or three — in a way that I think they are going to Davis’ classes begin with an hourlong plant walk where students learn the names of plants and safety and sustainability guidelines for foraging. Afterward, she teaches them how to prepare several of the plants they have for-

“People sometimes picture foraging as going out into the forest and picking plants

— and that’s part of it — but I would really encourage people to learn the weeds and make use of them,” she said. “A lot of them are non-native species, so there really aren’t as many ecological considerations with picking them.”

Davis teaches her students to make dandelion green soup from a recipe passed down by an Italian relative. Musk mustard is great in salads, and tumble mustard and field pennycress are fun to ferment, she said.

Beyond the creative and flavorful uses of foraged foods, research from 2019 suggests that wild edible greens harvested in urban areas can be abundant and highly nutritious. The study dubbed wild edible plants “open-source food.”

“This idea that open-source food is out there for anybody to eat and make use of — and then furthermore, it’s organic, it’s free, it’s fresh — I just think that’s a great concept,” Davis said.

Safety precautions

Despite their affordability and freshness, wild plants are not all safe to eat. Crystal Baldwin, who teaches wild plant-based classes at her Golden business, Earth Sweet Boutique, said it’s always important to triple-check plants before you eat them.

“I don’t like to frighten people away from… foraged foods because there’s a lot of very safe ones,” Baldwin said. “But I like them to be aware that there are dangerous, poisonous ones that will kill you, and so it’s important to kind of have an idea of what those might be and what to look out for.”

Baldwin encourages those interested in foraging to start by taking classes, working with local experts and reading about which plants are safe to eat.

She also said it’s important to check if plants are near old buildings that could be contributing lead to soil or if plants have been sprayed with pesticides.

‘Part of human history’

In addition to cooking, Baldwin said wild foods can be used to make skincare products, tinctures, infused honey, medicines and more.

“There’s many different things you can do with foraged foods, and the great thing about it is that we have tons of free, wonderful, wild foods here in Colorado,” she said.

Some of Baldwin’s favorite plants to forage are pine and conifer needles, which are high in vitamin C. She uses the needles to make a simple syrup that she drinks with seltzer water and fresh lemon.

“It’s extremely refreshing and has a lot of minerals, so it’s very hydrating in the summertime when it’s hot,” she said. When foraging, it’s important to do so in a way that does not damage plants or plant populations, Baldwin said. When gathering pine needles, for example, she takes about an inch or two from each branch and moves around to different branches so as to not damage the plant.

Davis agreed that sustainability is an important part of foraging process, and it’s something foragers need to be mindful of in order to do correctly.

“Sometimes people think ‘Foraging must be bad for the environment because you’re picking the plants!’ But I think the actual truth is much more nuanced than that,” she said. “Foraging is part of human history, I mean, we have been foraging since time immemorial, and we can do it in ways that don’t harm the plant populations if we’re mindful.”

Beyond freshness and accessibility, Davis said foraging offers health benefits and a range of flavors that are not available in grocery stores.

And perhaps best of all, wild food offers a way to get close to nature.

“For me, also, they o er a connection to nature,” Davis said. “ ey invite time spent outdoors, getting to know plants, working with my hands.”

Davis has available spots in her classes in Ramah and Fairplay this spring and summer. Her classes can be found at https://wildfoodgirl.com/ wfg-events/.

Achieving swing

Having thalassophobia — fear of deep water — as an integral part of my psyche, “ e Boys in the Boat” is not a book I ordinarily would’ve read. But after a couple of literary-minded friends highly recommended it, I decided to give it a try. I’m thrilled I did because the story is far more than a historical account of the University of Washington’s eight-oar rowing crew’s quest for gold in the 1936 Olympics. It is a tale of grit and determination of workingclass young men who struggled and experienced most challenging times throughout their lives but refused to be fated by their circumstances. It’s also a deep dive into the complexity of and philosophy behind the sport, which leads to the most telling aspect for me: It’s an allegory for reaching mental and emotional ow, the point at which all seems to be in perfect harmony, all resistance vanishes, and you feel completely whole and perhaps moving on an ethereal plane.

After reading the prologue and rst chapter, in which the author, Daniel James Brown, paints the background — Seattle during the Great Depression replete with Hoovervilles — and introduces Joe Rantz, the heart of the crew, I knew how much of my waking moments over the next week would be spent.

Four years into the Great Depression, conditions remained bleak for many Americans, 25% of whom were

jobless. Soup lines and shanty towns were regular features across the landscape. e tolls taken on the people weren’t only economic, they were also personal and psychological. Millions were reduced to survival mode. For the downtrodden, how one looked or what they wore was irrelevant. But shabby dress accompanied with an unkempt appearance was a badge of shame and source of ridicule for young men like Joe, who through their nevergive-up approach to life, managed to matriculate in a college or university. And that is where we meet Joe as he ambles across the University of Washington campus wearing a rumpled, hand-me-down sweater on his way to try out for what many considered to be an elitist sport in which he had no skill. Making the team wasn’t for Joe an athletic feat to boast about. Failure would’ve meant having to abandon school. And the alternative was not palatable.

us, began Joe’s quest. But unbeknownst to him and his cohorts, their undaunted e orts would remake them in ways unfathomable to their young adult minds and elevate them to the nation’s and ultimately the

world’s attention.

Rowing in absolute tandem with precise strokes at the exact moment is an art unequaled in sports. As I read, I searched my mind for equivalent competitions or situations. I thought of the “runner’s high” I got, the point where long-distance runners feel like they could run forever not only despite the pain but by embracing it. I re ected on the scene of Paul Maclean, played by Brad Pitt, in “A River Runs rough It,” perfecting the art of y shing. I considered successful sports teams’ need for players to eschew egos given there’s no I in sport. And I pictured the exquisitely graceful synergism of couples ice dancing. But each of them failed to equate to the absolute harmony and perfection of rowing, the moment when a crew achieves swing where they glide their craft across the water seemingly without e ort.

e closest metaphor or allusion to swing in eight-oar rowing is a symphony orchestra in which one discordant note destroys an entire piece. In rowing, one discordant note is called “catching a crab.” When that happens, everything gets thrown o , and the team essentially starts anew as they watch their competitors race farther ahead. For the University of Washington’s Huskies crew that faced never-ending obstacles up to and including the Olympics — some de facto, others intentional — nothing

short of perfection — swing — would get them the gold.

e psychology behind that physical harmony is complex. It requires the rower to completely repress their ego while at the same time remaining true to their individualism in context of their abilities. It’s a form of what in philosophy is called “conjunction of opposites,” when two opposing truths are equally valid. For me, that is what drove the story home.

Yes, the decidedly non-economic rags-to-riches tale is one for the ages. And Joe’s and his fellow rowers’ inspirational life stories tug at the heartstrings. But it was becoming educated about the intricacies not only of eightoar rowing but also of swing, and how extraordinarily rare it is reached, that for me put “ e Boys in the Boat” in the rare ed air of numinous storytelling.

e chances of me rowing a boat at the level of swing are the same as me summiting Mt. Everest. Neither will happen. But the image of an eightperson crew rowing in precise synchronicity — that kundalini moment of peak performance — will serve henceforth as a mental visualization for perfection. e ideal to strive for but rarely achieved.

Bill vows to fully fund state’s K-12 within two years

raised tax dollars. State-authorized charter schools do not.

they took control of the legislature in 2018.

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

is might be the last year that Colorado lawmakers hold back money from K-12 schools to fund other budget priorities.

Legislators have toyed with the idea of fully funding Colorado schools several times in recent years, but always held back amid economic uncertainty. While Colorado’s constitution requires school funding to go up each year by the rate of population and in ation, lawmakers haven’t met that requirement since the start of the Great Recession.

Since 2009, Colorado has withheld more than $10 billion from its schools.

Now the school nance act that passed unanimously out of the Senate Education Committee on April 19 includes a provision that would

require the state to fully fund K-12 schools starting in the 2024-25 budget year.

e bill also contains a provision to fund state-authorized charter schools at a level similar to other schools starting in 2024-5. District-authorized charter schools get a cut of locally

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Monument Republican and bill sponsor, called these provisions the “within-striking-distance amendments.” Lawmakers could still abandon these promises next year — particularly if economic conditions change —but moving to write them into law is a signi cant step.

e school nance act also will include even more money for 202324 than originally proposed after an impassioned appeal from Weld County Republican state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer.

“It’s time for the state Senate and this General Assembly to let the governor and the rest of the state know, no more B.S., no more balancing the budget on the backs of students,” she said. “We’re going to set a priority, and it’s called education.”

Kirkmeyer, who serves on the Joint Budget Committee, pointed out that the state education fund has nearly $1.3 billion, and that Democrats have funded a host of new programs since

“We pay for people’s bus passes, we pay for people’s utility bills, we pay for people’s rent, we pay for hygiene products, we pay for business licenses, we pay for health insurance,” she said. “We darn well ought to pay for education and put our children rst.” e money to fully fund K-12 education would come from a mix of savings in the state education fund and new revenue. Colorado has so much money in the state education fund because lawmakers slashed school funding in 2020 in anticipation of a COVID-related recession that never materialized. When revenues came in above projections, lawmakers socked much of the money away.

State Sen. Janice Marchman, a Loveland Democrat and teacher, found Kirkmeyer’s argument persuasive. She pointed to widespread teacher shortages, salaries that haven’t kept pace with in ation, students still recovering from

Requirements dramatically pared back in governor’s “land-use” bill

BY JESSE PAUL AND ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado legislature signi cantly pared back their major land-use bill amid big questions about whether their signature a ordable housing initiative at the Capitol this year can get enough support to pass.

Colorado’s largest cities would no longer be required to let multifamily housing with up to six units be built in all residentially zoned areas under a major amendment made to Senate Bill 213. Instead, those cities — like Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Englewood, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Pueblo, ornton and Westminster — would only have to let duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes be built in 30% of their land area currently zoned for singlefamily homes, concentrated around train and high-frequency bus corridors where applicable.

e change, which came in midApril, shifts the legislation away from attempting to broadly increase housing density to a more limited approach linked to transit. Without the changes, it appeared the bill, which has received major opposition from cities and towns across the state, would lack enough support to clear its rst committee.

In all, there were 17 amendments made to the bill, totaling dozens of pages. One of the major changes reduces land-use requirements on resort communities, like Aspen and Vail.

e Senate Local Government and Housing Committee approved the overhauled measure on a 4-3 vote, with all of the Democrats on the panel voting “yes” and all of the Republicans voting “no.” It was unclear whether the measure would have enough votes to advance and the committee hearing was delayed for hours while amendments were nalized and negotiated.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill, warned that more changes were needed. “By no means does the work stop here,” he said.

Heading into a committee hearing,

Sen. Dylan Roberts, an Avon Democrat, appeared to be the swing vote on the committee. He cast a reluctant “yes” vote. “I still have concerns with where the bill is,” he said, adding that there will be “a lot more to do” to get him to back the bill once it is debated on the Senate oor.

But two other Democrats on the committee — Sens. Julie Gonzales of Denver and Tony Exum of Colorado Springs — also expressed anxiety about the measure before voting to advance the legislation. e pair said more changes were needed.

“You will see more amendments coming,” Gonzales said.

An e ort by Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican on the committee to erase the measure and replace it with an alternative policy with no policy preemptions for local governments was rejected. “Senate bill 213, as it stands right now, … is never going to get us to a ordable

housing,” she said. “All it’s going to do is preempt local governments.”

e bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee for approval before it can advance to the full Senate.

Under amendments, cities and towns would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to be built in a half-mile radius around rail stations and a quarter-mile around corridors with bus-rapid-transit or where a bus stops every 15 minutes.

If a municipality doesn’t want to allow building of two, three or four units next to certain transit stops they could opt to zone for that kind of housing in a di erent part of their city or town proportional to the area around a transit stop that would have been a ected. In doing so, however, the municipality would have to take steps to prevent people living in those areas from being displaced and would be encouraged to focus the zoning around walkable areas.

At a minimum, Colorado’s largest cities would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in 30% of the areas that are currently zoned for single-family homes. e requirement would also apply to large cities that don’t have train stops or bus rapid transit and bus routes with 15-minute frequencies, though they would be encouraged to prioritize their placement of denser residential zoned areas near transit.

Additionally, the amendments remove a provision preventing cities from mandating that new duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes around train stations and along bus routes with a lot of frequency be accompanied by parking. Instead, the change allows municipalities to require that

a half a parking spot be built alongside each new housing unit. e cities that would be subject to the requirements include: Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Brighton, Broomeld, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Commerce City, Denver, Edgewater, Englewood, Erie, Federal Heights, Glendale, Golden, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Lakewood, Littleton, Lochbuie, Lone Tree, Longmont, Louisville, Northglenn, Parker, Sheridan, Superior, ornton, Westminster and Wheat

Outside of the Denver metro area, Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Grand Junction and Pueblo would also fall under the mandates. e amendments would also require that cities with bus rapid transit zone for an average housing density of 25 units an acre in at least 25% of the housing-eligible land without a half-mile of stops. e requirement would be the same for within a quarter-mile of corridors with frequent bus routes. Cities with trains would have to zone for an average housing density of 40 units per acre in 50% of the housing-eligible land within a halfmile of stations.

Another amendment signi cantly changes the zoning shifts that would have been required of so-called rural resort job centers, including the Eagle River Valley near Vail and Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen.

Rural resort job centers are dened as municipalities that have a population of at least 1,000 and at least 1,200 jobs and are outside of a metropolitan planning organization, like the Denver Regional Council of Governments or the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization. ey also have regional transit service with at least 20 trips per day. e legislation’s rural resort centers include: Avon, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Dillon, Durango, Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Mountain Village, Silverthorne, Snowmass Village, Steamboat Springs, Telluride and Winter Park.

As originally written, the measure would have required adjacent towns in rural resort communities to work together to determine where to increase housing density and to identify bus corridors and work to increase residential and commercial development surrounding those corridors.

Under the amendments, rural resort communities would be required to choose at least ve options from a menu of 10 to 15 a ordability strategies included in the bill. Most of the resort communities already employ many of the listed strategies.

One of those options is letting property owners build accessorydwelling units, also known as ADUs or “granny ats.” Other strategies on the menu include restrictions on short-term rentals, like those listed

The Gallingers built their 550-square-foot garage ADU to host friends and family during visits. Through an error in construction, the garage ended up being too tall, leading the couple to seek an individual zoning variance for the unit. COURTESY OF THE COLORADO SUN

on Airbnb or Vrbo, deed restrictions, expediting building permit review, and establishing a local revenue source to develop a ordable housing. One strategy would be for municipalities to waive permitting, infrastructure and utility fees for building a ordable housing developments.

“I think they sort of missed the boat in this rst draft and what should apply to us and what would work best for us,” said Eric Mamula, the mayor of Breckenridge and owner of Downstairs at Eric’s restaurant.

Mamula said his community’s top concerns with the introduced ver-

learning disruptions, unmet mental health needs in schools, and safety fears. Meanwhile, federal pandemic funding will expire in 2024.

“ ere is no reason for our state to have a rainy day fund if we don’t recognize that we’re in a rainy day,” she said. e additional money means the withholding for 2023-24 —known as the budget stabilization factor —would be just $141 million or 1.5% out of a more than $9 billion K-12 budget. A decade ago, lawmakers withheld 18% of the money that should have gone to schools.

sion of the legislation involved a lack of a ordability restrictions on new construction and no requirements that buyers and residents of new housing be part of the local workforce. ey also worried about the absence of permanence for a ordability and other regulations involving the newly mandated housing.

Last month Mamula said resort communities would be working with lawmakers and the governor to “make sure we are getting the point across that we need some protections for our smaller ski town communities.”

“I feel like we are being heard,” he said.

e original version of the bill would have required rural resort centers to allow ADUs. Under the amended version, only municipali-

State Sen. Rhonda Fields, an Aurora Democrat, recalled that early in her legislative service, funding was so limited schools were talking about charging students to ride the bus. e prospect of eliminating the budget stabilization factor feels like entering a nal frontier.

“I’m looking at Star Trek,” she said. “We can go to places we’ve never gone before. We can meet new people. We can fund our schools.”

At the same time, she said state government has a lot of responsibilities beyond education.

Joint Budget Committee Chair Rachel Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat and bill sponsor, cautioned lawmakers that education funding commitments will continue to rise and that covering

ties in the rest of the state would be prevented from restricting them. Right now, ADUs may be built in many towns and cities only in certain zoning areas and the size of the units is governed by lot size. e bill would prohibit cities from requiring that new parking accompany any ADUs that are built.

One amendment adopted at the behest of Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, a Boulder County Democrat, adds unincorporated parts of counties to the list of places where ADUs can’t be prohibited.

Another change to the bill would allow municipalities to notify the state of their need for an extension or exemption from the requirements based on shortfalls in their water supply or infrastructure.

Analysts warn of a looming structural de cit, when growth in state spending, including on mandatory programs, will run up against caps imposed by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights or against a recession.

Colorado is also in the process of developing a new way to measure student poverty and may change how it distributes money among schools, changes that may require more funding to avoid hurting some districts.

Meanwhile, funding Charter School Institute schools similarly to other schools is expected to cost more than $42 million. Lundeen said it’s an issue of fundamental fairness. State-

Climate change drives need for firefighters

Colorado has acute shortage

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

Standing atop a parched, grassy knoll in the shadow of Pikes Peak and in front of miles of earth scorched by the Waldo Canyon re more than a decade ago, federal, state and local re experts called for more training and new approaches to ght the “public safety crisis” of wild re in a growing state.

For many, the mile-wide wall of re approaching the ridgeline bordering the Cedar Heights neighborhood in 2012 remains a vivid memory. Embers “the size of boxes” rained from the sky, Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal remembers. e ames destroyed 347 homes and killed two people, but stopped within feet of homes in Cedar Heights thanks, in part, to the mitigation work by the community.

But the risk of wild re has increased in the past decade, with more homes being built in the area next to undeveloped forest and climate change bringing more intense res to areas that were once not thought to be at risk.

“For years, we’ve viewed this re problem that we have as being more of a natural resource event. And as we’ve watched the forest health deteriorate, as we’ve seen the changes in the weather, and as we watch the growth in to the more rural areas of Colorado and across our country, we have created a public safety crisis,” Mike Morgan, director of Colorado’s Division of Fire Prevention and Control said April 19.

More than 36,000 homes lie in wild re-prone areas where development intermingles with wildland vegetation in Colorado Springs, which ranks as the largest wildlandurban interface in the state. Nationwide, that number has grown to 99 million people, or one-third of the U.S. population living in areas at risk of wild re, yet most have no idea what dangers they face, federal experts say.

“We’re going to have to learn to live with re in our country,” Morgan said. “We just have to learn ways to

mitigate or lessen the likelihood or the severity of these events when they occur.”

Morgan joined U.S. Fire Administrator Lori Moore-Merrell and other re experts to discuss the challenges in addressing climate change, drought-driven wild res that are growing in intensity, size and destructiveness.

In the rst three months of 2023, there have been more than 9,000 wild res across the country, MooreMerrell said. About 800 people have died in residential structure res this year, and last year, there were more than 1.2 million structure res, and 69,000 wild res that burned more than 7.5 million acres, she said.

“ e threat of catastrophic wild re in America’s interface communities demands national attention. at’s why we’re here,” she said. “It demands a uni ed approach. Because our current approaches to wild re mitigation and management do not match the scale of the problem.”

ere’s a need for more training, experts said, explaining that methods used to extinguish structure res are di erent from those used to ght ames along the wildland urban interface.

Most municipal re ghters lack

the adequate training and equipment needed to ght res e ciently and safely in the wildland urban interface, said Edward Kelly, president of the International Association of Fire ghters, which represents 335,000 re ghters across the U.S. and Canada.

While most re departments are responsible for ghting res along the wildland urban interface, about 78% of them have unmet training needs, according to the latest U.S. Fire Administration report published earlier this year. Two-thirds of those departments lack su cient wildland personal protective clothing.

e IAFF, in partnership with the U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Academy, will host a course to teach re ghters how to attack res that spark near the border of urban and wooded areas.

Colorado’s Department of Public Safety requested $6.5 million to “meet increasing training and certi cation demands statewide and maintain a robust re ghter training and certi cation program,” according to a November 2022 budget document, but the Joint Budget Committee rejected the request in March.

e JBC rejected the request because the department was already receiving money to support training, some still unspent, and some local jurisdictions were already underway with similar training, said Rep. Shannon Bird, a Westminster Democrat who sits on the powerful panel.

“We were unable to increase, at this point in time, our ability to expand training for re ghters,” Morgan said. “We will be back asking for that. We understand there’s only so much to go around. But this is a problem. We have to invest in our local communities.”

Colorado’s re ghting corps has failed to keep up with the growing demand to ght wild res. According to the U.S. Fire Administrator’s report, the wildland urban interface continues to grow by about 2 million acres per year.

e state needs about 2,500 more career re ghters and 1,100 volunteer re ghters in the next 12 to 18 months to address the growing demand of wild re response, e number of people interested in becoming re ghters is declining across the country, said Kevin Quinn, rst vice chair of the National Volunteer Fire Council. Fire departments that normally receive thousands of applications a year are now receiving a few hundred. Health risks associated with the job and long hours, mainly due to sta ng shortages, make it hard to recruit and retain re ghters.

As numbers of interested applicants have fallen in the past three decades, the call volume to volunteer re departments has tripled, Quinn said. e industry also struggles to recruit and retain women and people of color.

Only 11.6% of career re ghters were Hispanic or Latino, 8.5% were Black and 1.3% were Asian, according to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Women make up about 4% of career reghters and 11% of volunteer reghters, the National Fire Protection Agency reported in 2021.

Leaders also called for the need to implement building regulations that would protect growing communities on the edge of wildland.

Michele Steinberg, director of wild re for the National Fire Protection Association, called for a universal code that would require all homes and businesses in the wild re-prone areas to adhere to re-resistant building standards.

“Unfortunately, time and time again, what we see is that communities rebuild in the same way in the same areas as those that burned to the ground,” Steinberg said. “Without a new approach, we’re destined to repeat history at our own peril against a erce and unrelenting opponent. We won’t stop wild res from occurring, but codes and standards are the means to better withstand and lessen impact in the wildland urban interface.”

e failure by local, state and federal governments to impose preventative building codes is increasing the re problem, added Shane Ray, president of the National Fire Sprinkler Association.

“Codes and standards established through a consensus process are a minimum and they should not be picked apart in a political environment,” Ray said. “ e more buildings built to an outdated or weakened code in the interface between the forest and the city, and where re departments are understa ed, undertrained or lack resources, is increasing the re problem in America.”

Regis program o ers students with intellectual disabilities college support

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Jen Anderman loves college.

She lives on campus at Regis University, is learning about world religions like Buddhism, and took on the persona of Benjamin Franklin once to present in a class.

Anderman, 25, always wanted to follow in her sister’s footsteps, but most colleges don’t o er programs geared toward students with intellectual disabilities who might need more support. Anderman also wanted a program that pushed her academically and allowed her to get the college experience she desired.

In Colorado and nationwide, most colleges don’t o er programs for students with intellectual disabilities, which includes limitations in reasoning, learning, problem solving, or social or practical skills. ose colleges that do have limited spots.

Anderman, who is a person with autism, now is living her dream. Regis University’s Global Inclusive College Certi cate program has o ered Anderman and four other students at the Denver Jesuit school a full college experience for about two years, plus extra support to earn their certi cate. Regis’ program launched in the fall and joined several others across the state that o er support for students with intellectual disabilities.

Anderman’s mom says Jen thrives when she gets to learn with students who learn in a variety of ways. Living on campus, she’s made plenty of friends. Home is just 20 minutes away, which means she didn’t have to go far to continue her education.

e program allows Anderman to take any Regis class, which she likes. She said that so far, she has enjoyed them all.

Regis o ers a certi cate requiring students to complete from 12 to 30 hours of school work over the course of one or two years. e program focuses on

academics, but also teaches social skills, emotional regulation, career development, and independence, according to Jeanine Coleman, the certi cate programs director. e program also o ers tutoring, class preparation and other help.

Coleman hopes to add several more students to the program next year, and the school has received support from the GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation and the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation.

Recently the school announced it received $365,000 to help provide scholarships. e scholarships are crucial for many families who never thought that their children would nd a college that works for their learning style.

“ ey just didn’t plan for that because they didn’t really think it was an option,” Coleman said. “ ere are just not very many opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities beyond high school.”

Statewide, the University of Northern Colorado, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and Arapahoe Community College o er programs tailored toward students with intellectual disabilities, said Tracy

Murphy, Colorado Initiative for Inclusive Higher Education executive director.

Until 2016, Colorado was one of four states nationwide that didn’t o er speci c programs for students with intellectual disabilities, Murphy said. Lawmakers that year passed a law establishing speci c programs for students at colleges, and last year approved grants to support new or existing programs at higher education institutions.

Creating a more inclusive environment is good for students with and without intellectual disabilities, Murphy said.

Students at established programs have rushed fraternities and participated in student government, she said. ey’re helping create acceptance and enabled others to see the value students with disabilities can bring to a school campus and jobs, she said.

“College students bene t from seeing that capability,” she said.

For Jordan Stewart, 18, the Regis program has boosted his con dence, his mother Cassy Stewart said. While Colorado o ers high school for students with intellectual disabilities until they are 21, Jordan wanted most to graduate with his class and get a diploma with them, she said.

Regis helped Jordan thrive in a college setting. Previously, his mother had worried about his future because so few college programs work with his learning style.

Jordan Stewart has loved being a part of the school community. He enjoys the classes more than those in high school, and making friends is his favorite part of the experience.

“College makes me feel great,” he said, “and included.”

‘What spring is all about’

Mines football showcases up-and-coming talent at spring game

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s the one home game of the year that the Orediggers play from the visitors’ side of the eld.

On April 22, more than 200 fans braved the snowy stands and the chilly weather to watch the Colorado School of Mines football team’s annual spring game. anks to a unique scoring system, the defense won 53-24 over the o ense during the team’s intrasquad scrimmage.

“We wanted to see … plays being made on both sides of the ball, and we de nitely saw that,” interim head coach Pete Sterbick said. “ … We had so many young guys in there, they’re just trying to gel and get together, which is really what spring is all about.”

e o ense received points for touchdowns, plays that went 20 yards or more, fourth-down conversions and more. Meanwhile, the defense received points for a threeand-out sequence, fourth-down stops, turnovers, etc.

Both the o ense and defense started with their rst- and secondstring players in the rst half, and third- and fourth-string players took over in the second half.

e defense had a 23-21 lead at the midpoint and scored massive points o second-half turnovers. Overall, the defense forced four turnovers during the game, including two interceptions by cornerback Caleb Frink.

“I actually woke up this morning … and told (my roommates), ‘I have a feeling, I’m getting (an interception) today,’” Frink said. “I couldn’t ask for a better day.”

Frink, a redshirt freshman with four years of eligibility left, believed he and his fellow defenders were clicking throughout the game — from the linemen to the safeties, from the starters to the fourth-string players.

“We got after it,” he continued. “We play our brand of football, and when we do that (score) is the result.”

Sterbick said standout performances for the game included wide receiver Flynn Schiele, running back Braelon Tate, cornerback Mikee Barker, defensive end Christian Peluse and linebacker JJ Lee. Most of them are redshirt freshmen or redshirt sophomores who could be impact players for the Orediggers in 2023, Sterbick commented.

Schiele, who has three years of eligibility remaining, was in the 2022 rotation after senior wide receiver Josh Johnston. With Johnston graduated, Schiele is hoping to follow in his footsteps and do great things for the Orediggers this fall.

“ e spring season … is a time to move up the depth chart for the guys, and I think I was able to do that,” Schiele continued. “I’m excited

for this team. e game of football is so much fun, and I love it.”

The countdown to Aug. 31

For the Mines football team and its fans, the Aug. 31 home opener against Grand Valley State couldn’t come soon enough. But, the Orediggers have plenty to do in the o season, Sterbick detailed. e players’ o season training program kicks o in June. Sterbick explained how strength coach Trevor Florendo “is the best in the country” and will have the Orediggers “dialed in” with eight weeks of lifting, running and other training routines.

Schiele was looking forward to hitting the weight room and conditioning over the summer, saying he wanted to get a lot stronger.

Frink had similar goals, saying the entire team has the same mentality.

“It all starts with Grand Valley. We have to focus up and get ready for them,” Frink said.

For the coaches, Sterbick said they’ll be juggling sta ng changes, one-on-one meetings with players, recruiting e orts for the Class of 2024, hosting various football camps, and more. And, somewhere in there, they try to “decompress and take time with our families,” Sterbick added.

While much has changed for the Orediggers since the 2022 season ended, their goals haven’t, Sterbick said. ey want to repeat as conference champions, return to the NCAA Division II National Championship game, and win the program’s rst national title.

As Sterbick said, “ e mission hasn’t changed.”

Brandon Moore resigns as Mines football’s head coach

Interim head coach Pete Sterbick surveys his players during Colorado School of Mines’ spring football game April 22. Sterbick, the team’s o ensive coordinator, was named interim head coach April 19, after Coach Brandon Moore resigned to take the head coaching job at the University of San Diego.

O ensive coordinator Pete Sterbick named interim coach

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brandon Moore has resigned as Colorado School of Mines’ head football coach to accept the head coaching job at the University of San Diego, Mines o cials announced April 19.

O ensive coordinator Pete Sterbick has been named Mines’ interim head coach and will lead the Orediggers during Saturday’s spring game.

Moore rst joined the Mines football program as a defensive coordinator seven years ago, and was named head coach in January 2022.

He helped lead the Orediggers to a 13-3 record, a conference championship and the NCAA Division II National Championship game during the 2022 season. He also received several accolades, including National Coach of the Year from the American Football Coaches Association.

“Mines is a truly special place full of special people. I can’t express how proud I am to have been a part of it,” Moore stated in an April 19 press release. “My family and I have made the decision to move on and accept an opportunity at the University of San Diego. I can’t say enough about the family I will be leaving behind. The Mines community will always be special to me.”

Football fans from Golden, San Diego and beyond congratulated the coach on social media, with Mines junior linebacker Adrian Moreno describing Moore as “a legend.”

David Hansburg, Mines’ director of athletics, expressed how happy he was for Moore and his family,

January

and how proud he was of Moore’s accomplishments during his seven years with the Orediggers.

However, Hansburg continued, Moore’s departure doesn’t change the football program’s mission to win a national championship. He said the Orediggers will “move quickly to solidify our staff” before the 2023 season kicks off in August.

Sterbick, who’s taking the reins in the interim, also received several national honors after the team’s historic 2022 season.

After holding a number of head coach, coordinator and assistant coaching jobs throughout the country, Sterbick joined Mines in January 2019. Since then, he’s helped develop the team’s explosive offense, which led the nation in scoring in 2022.

The Mines Athletics department also said Sterbick’s mentored several Oredigger playmakers, including Harlon Hill winning quarterback John Matocha, recordbreaking running back Michael Ze-

man and All-American wide receiver Max McLeod.

“I am excited to be able to lead this program, but ultimately, Mines football is about our players and keeping them rolling on the same track,” Sterbick said. “Our goal doesn’t change: we will keep pushing for a national

title.”

e Orediggers are planning to wrap up their spring season April 22 with an intrasquad scrimmage. is spring game, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Marv Kay Stadium, is free and open to the public. For more information, visit MinesAthletics.com.

and ginger leaves, banana trees or hibiscus owers, the greenhouse sta enables zoo animals to eat local — even if they crave ora from across the globe. e gardeners also grow landscaping plants for animal enclosures, from tall stands of euphorbia cactus to sweet gum trees.

“We’re trying to grow as much as we can locally,” Crowell said, adding that “growing exotics can take quite a bit of research.”

e greenhouse specialties are grown without pesticides, using recycled water. All of this saves money the zoo would otherwise spend importing tropical plants from Florida.

One greenhouse holds a grove of banana trees, which are especially useful, since every part of the plant can be used. Crowell said the fruit is fed to fruit bats while the oppy leaves are popular snacks for many animals, including sloths and smaller reptiles — as well as great apes. Elephants and rhinos chew the banana stalks, which increases their ber intake and acts as a natural toothbrush.

e production sta works closely with the zoo’s battery of veterinarians and nutritionists. Animal diets have come a long way since 1896 when the Denver Zoo began with a single caged bear cub, named Billy Bryan, in City Park. Although history does not record what Billy ate, it would probably make today’s zoo nutritionists shudder. ese days, animal diets are strictly controlled in

order to keep them healthy. Often, that means adding the right vegetation.

“We get calls if an animal is ill,” Crowell said.

Many of the plants in the zoo greenhouses have medicinal qualities. Crowell said that leaves from the ginger and cardamon plants help prevent heart problems in great apes. Colorful blue, green and

yellow lorikeets — a small parrot from Australia — keep their feathers healthy by pecking at hibiscus owers. According to Crowell, the pollen and nectar of these owers supply the birds with important amino acids.

Some plants are equally important to animals’ mental health. e Denver Zoo earned its accreditation from the Association of Zoos and

Aquariums by taking animal wellbeing seriously — and that requires plenty of the branches, twigs and leaves known as browse. Cuttings from a range of trees and shrubs, including willow, mulberry, and butter y bush, are important not just for nutrition but also to encourage natural activities like foraging. For example, Crowell said, Tundra, the female grizzly bear, enjoys stripping and eating the leaves o hackberry branches while the zoo’s Mongolian horses prefer to chew bark o cottonwood logs. Elephants and primates like to exercise their teeth on bamboo stalks. Several passive solar greenhouses known as hoop houses help extend the growing season for browse. And whenever it’s time to prune trees and bushes in City Park, Crowell and his team are there, collecting boughs, twigs and leaves. Crowell also roams the zoo’s 80 acres, searching for under-utilized patches of dirt where he and his sta can grow additional browse in the summer months. Last year, they supplied more than 1,300 pounds of leafy trimmings to zoo denizens. When the zoo’s urban farmers aren’t running loads of produce over to hungry zebras and gira es, they are searching for more ways to maximize every square foot of growing space. Even the rafters of the Tropical Discovery building are being put to use, with a hydroponic growing table that nourishes crops of collard greens. According to Crowell, many animals love nutrient-dense greens like collard and dandelion. Perhaps we humans should take a few dining cues from the zoo.
