Additionally, the school hosted a bu et-style dinner with Chinese, Mexican, Italian and Lebanese foods; folklorico dancers; a youth mariachi band and other games and crafts.

Dip your pan into Clear Creek history at Phoenix Gold Mine

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you fancy yourself a modernday prospector or just want to get in touch with the rich history in Clear Creek County, you could strike gold at the Phoenix Gold Mine in Idaho Springs.

Phoenix Gold Mine Tours and Panning o ers year-round tours of the underground mine and lessons on how to pan for gold. In the spring, participants can pan for gold in the Rocky Mountain Creek on site and keep what they nd; it’s naturally stocked with gold and minerals, according to owner David Mosch.  “People actually have over the years found substantial pieces,” Mosch said.

By substantial, he estimated pieces of gold that could fetch around $500.

e mine, which has been familyowned since 1968, still has the permits and abilities to mine. ough Mosch explained his long lineage of prospectors fell more in love with the educational aspect of the mine.  “One thing led to another, and we started making more money showing people the mine than actually mining,” he said.

Phoenix Gold Mine estimates that it has produced over 100,000 troy ounces — the system of weights for precious metals and gems — of gold.

Mosch estimated that Idaho Springs has produced a million troy ounces of gold, but not much since the 1950s.

According to Mosch, the old folk story of how panning for gold came to be comes from a man camping

After Refacing

along a creekside. e story goes that he was scouring his pan with gravel from the creek, and as the rocks fell away, he was left with pieces of gold.

e method has long been one of the cheapest and most accessible ways to nd gold, and at the Phoenix Mine, you can still do it today.

While much of the “strike it rich” gold is long gone with the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of the late 1800s, Mosch explained that many private streams, including the one on the property of the mine, will continue to have gold for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years.

“As long as the mountain slowly runs away, a little bit of gold dust comes o the hillside,” he said.  So while you may only nd some akes, you can join the long-standing history of mining and panning in the county still today.

Tours of the Phoenix Gold Mine are open year-round, seven days a week. e mine o ers online reservations but also accepts walk-ups when available. e mine is family and dog friendly and does school trips. Learn more and book online at https:// www.phoenixgoldmine.com/.

the Golden Police Department arrested Harris on outstanding warrants out of Denver. At that time, there was no knowledge of his connection to Hire, Tilley said. However, Harris has remained in Denver’s custody, where JCSO served him with the murder charge.

Tilley said Harris’ belongings,

which were collected when he was arrested in March, have become critical pieces of evidence in the murder investigation. She said the Sheri ’s O ce found the victim’s cell phone and keys to the victim’s RV, plus the victim’s blood was found on the suspect’s clothing.

Additionally, Tilley said, the suspect was in possession of the victim’s Jeep at the time of his arrest. e murder weapon was found inside the Jeep, which contained DNA from the suspect and the victim.

Do Brokerages Inflate the Cost of Buying & Selling Your Home with ‘Junk Fees’?

This week’s topic is inspired by an article I read on BusinessInsider.com last week with the catchy headline, “Real estate agents are tacking ludicrous ‘junk fees’ on to every home purchase.”

The article acknowledges that there are many legitimate fees — including title insurance, which is absolutely necessary to protect both the buyer and seller of a home. In Colorado, unlike some states, it’s common for title insurance (the second largest expense after agent commissions) to be deducted from the seller’s proceeds rather than added to the buyer’s costs.

Other necessary expenses paid at closing and not levied by the buyer’s or seller’s brokerage, include, for the seller, the fee to record the release of lien for any paid-off mortgage, HOA transfer

fees, escrow for the final water bill, half the settlement fee to the title company (typically $300-400), and property taxes for the current year pro-rated to the date of closing.

For the buyer, fees are levied for the buyer’s half of the settlement fee mentioned above, and for recording the deed with the county clerk. If the buyer financed the purchase with a loan, there are fees levied by the lender, such as processing & document preparation fees, origination fee (“points”), pre-paid interest from the date of closing through the end of that month, and appraisal (if not paid earlier). In addition, the buyer will be debited at closing for their homeowner’s insurance policy plus 3 months’ escrow of same, and 3 months’ escrow of property taxes.

Emissions From EVs Depend on the Source of Electricity

Before I bought my first electric vehicle in 2012, I told myself, “I don’t want to switch from burning gas to burning coal,” since coal was at the time the biggest part of my electric utility’s fuel mix. Then I learned why EVs have lower emissions than gas-powered cars, even if the fossil fuels represent 100% of the utility’s fuel mix. The reasoning is reflected in the graphic which I have included in the blog posting of this article at www.GoldenREblog.com.

The essence of the graphic, which is from www.FuelEconomy.gov, is that only 16-25% of the energy in gasoline goes to propelling the vehicle. The rest is basically waste energy, 60-72% of it engine losses such as heat. By contrast, roughly 90% of the energy in electricity goes to move an EV. That differential in fuel efficiency is at the heart of why EVs are more climate- and pollution-friendly than gaspowered vehicles can ever be.

fees to one side or the other of the transaction. For example, the buyer might offer, in order to win a bidding war, to pay the HOA transfer fees, the full settlement fee, and/or the cost of title insurance. Once I saw a buyer offer to pay the property taxes for the full first year of ownership instead of the seller crediting the buyer with his/her pro-rated share.

So, if all those are necessary fees, what are those “junk fees” complained about in the BusinessLeader.com article?

It’s a single fee which some agents began charging their clients years ago. It’s shown on the settlement statement as an “administrative fee” or “commission.”

Basically, it’s a transaction fee which

larger brokerages in particular began charging their agents to bolster their profits. It could be a flat fee like $300 or it could be a small percentage of the sale price. This fee is deducted from the agent’s share of the commission, but agents are allowed to pass that fee on to their clients, which many have chosen to do. That’s what the article was complaining about, not multiple “junk fees.”

Of course, buyers and sellers, upon signing a listing or buyer agency agreement with their agents, could negotiate not to pay this fee, just as they could negotiate a lower listing commission. But, as you can imagine, this fee slips through without most clients noticing or objecting to it. Myself, I never propose charging my clients. Call my broker associates or me if you don’t want to pay any junk fees for buying or selling a home. Our phone numbers are below.

Finalists Announced for Home Electrification Prize

The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced 6 finalists in its Equitable and Affordable Solutions to Electrification (EAS-E) Prize.

Although administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) here in Jefferson County, none of the finalists were from Colorado. Two were from California, and one each from New York, Oregon, Ohio and Nevada.

Two of the finalists focused on solutions which eliminated the need to upgrade a home’s electrical panel. The New York finalist’s plan focused on allowing the occupant to remain in the home during the conversion process. The Ohio finalist focused on cold-weather conversions.

On MLS, a Half-Duplex Is No Longer a ‘Single-Family Home’

The listing featured at left will not be found by buyers searching the MLS for single-family homes, thanks to a big change made in January 2020, when our MLS began conforming to a standardized set of property descriptors which all MLSs were expected to adopt.

“Single-Family Detached” as options. You can search by address and find the listing, but most people searching for homes don’t include “multi-family” in their search criteria, even though they would love this home if they saw it.

On the top floor it has both a primary suite and guest suite, both with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. In the basement is a third bedroom with egress window and ensuite bathroom. The interior was entirely repainted prior to listing, and all new carpeting was installed. This home is move-in ready, for sure! The exterior will be repainted this summer by the HOA. In addition to its awesome views of Standley Lake and the foothills (including Longs Peak), this home is adjacent to a pedestrian/bike path adjacent the Highline Canal. It also has the largest backyard (maintained by HOA) in the subdivision. You can view a narrated video tour at www.ArvadaHome.info, then come to David’s open house Saturday, May 13, from 11am to 1pm.

Taking an Alzheimer’s diagnosis ‘a mile at a time’

Evergreen’s Mark Macy battles the disease by connecting with others

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mark Macy is a ghter.

e Evergreen resident always has been driven to succeed as an attorney, an endurance athlete and a devoted family man. Now at age 69, he continues his drive to succeed in his battle against Alzheimer’s disease.

He believes that his green diet, exercise and positive attitude will help him do what many others haven’t: beat the disease.

“Some people think I’m nuts,” said Macy, 69, who everyone calls Mace. “I believe I can beat it. If I don’t, I’m still a happy guy.”

Mace has lived in Evergreen since 1980 with Pam, his high school sweetheart and wife of 46 years. Mace still runs regularly, sometimes on the family’s six-acre property and sometimes with friends who help keep him steady and on track.

When Mace got his diagnosis in 2018 — considered early-onset Alzheimer’s disease because he was 64 — the family decided it was

not going to hide from the disease, friends or the community.

at’s why son Travis Macy, a 2001 Evergreen High School graduate and former EHS English teacher, decided to write a book with Mace about their journey called “A Mile at a Time: A father and son’s inspiring Alzheimer’s journey of love, adventure and hope.”

Travis and Mace travel around the country speaking about Alzheimer’s disease, and they will be at the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Alzheimer’s & Caregiving Educational Conference on May 17. e family also will be at the Evergreen Taphouse for a book signing that evening.

“To his credit, (Mace) decided he was not going to be ashamed of Alzheimer’s and not going to hide it,” Travis said. “He’s continued to do that, and honestly it’s turned out that his treatment has been communicating with other Alzheimer’s families.”

Dr. Allison Reiss with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Medical, Scienti c and Memory Screening Advisory Board said Alzheimer’s disease is not always obvious, especially at rst.

“We all get more forgetful, and

sometimes we get so much clutter in our brains that we may do something wrong or di erent like misplace our keys or forget something on the chore list,” she explained.

e line between forgetfulness and an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis would be when someone suddenly doesn’t know where they are, Reiss said. ey wander o or try to go someplace from the past.

Another big one, she added, is not getting words right.

“Not just mispronouncing,” said Reiss, who is an associate professor of medicine at the NYU Long Island School of Medicine, “but when you can’t nd the words or when you forget something basic like your own phone number. After a point, it becomes clear that it cannot be attributed to a normal situation.”

Before the diagnosis

Mace spent his life as a hard-working trial attorney, forsaking sleep to do it all – spending time with his family while working long hours at his practice. He began competing in adventure racing in the 1980s when

the grueling sport was forming and competed in all eight Eco-Challenge races from 1995 to 2002.

Travis, following in his dad’s footsteps, became an accomplished ultra-athlete, traveling around the world to race professionally. Prior to Mace’s diagnosis, the father and son did hundreds of the same races, mostly solo events in which both entered.

“We did lots of the same adventure races in which Dad competed on a team with friends and I raced for the win with a competitive team,” Travis explained.

In 2019, a year after Mace’s diagnosis, the duo traveled to Fiji to race in the revived Eco-Challenge, a 10-day, 417-mile race with 280 competitors who traversed mountains, rivers, swamps and oceans, the rst time the two had competed on the same team. While the team did not nish, Travis considered it a win because endurance racing doesn’t have a category for competitors with Alzheimer’s disease.

The beginning

Mace said leading up to his diagnosis, he noticed he wasn’t talking properly, making his trial-attorney

career more di cult.

“Word nding had become more di cult for him,” wife Pam said, “but not to where anyone would notice.”

Mace saw a neurologist, and a brain MRI came back normal, so they thought he was in the clear. But the symptoms kept persisting: things like Mace couldn’t read a map, and he suddenly had di culty pulling a car into a parking space.

But concern about Mace’s health had to wait while Pam received a kidney transplant. Mace wasn’t a match, but he donated one anyway to someone else who needed one. Donors must be in excellent health to donate.

When Mace was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, the doctor told him to start getting his a airs in order immediately and to take a family trip soon.

“We weren’t surprised by the diagnosis,” Pam said, “but we were still shocked. He is the healthiest person I know. I have had the health issues, so we thought I’d be the rst to go. ( e diagnosis) was reorienting as we think about the future.”

Travis added: “When the diagnosis came, it was not a surprise, but it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was really tough. For me, initially, it was a mad scramble to try to nd a cure and treatments. Immediately, we have to gure out nances, putting things into a trust, maybe we need to build a house on my parents’ property so we can take care of them. In hindsight, I was trying to control something uncontrollable.”

Since his diagnosis nearly ve years ago, Mace is losing more cognitive abilities: he no longer drives a car, he sometimes has di culty reading and writing and his balance isn’t what it once was.

In addition to his wife and son,

he has strong support from his two daughters, Katelyn Macy Sandoval of Denver and Donavahn Macy of Tampa, Florida, plus ve grandchildren to play with.

Reiss said the degree of stress and sadness for both the person with the Alzheimer’s diagnosis and that person’s loved ones can be overwhelming.

“ e outcome is inevitable,” she said. “ is disease only goes in one direction, and the nal pathway is grim. Living with this person you love and watching the loss of that is just horrendous.”

Plus caregivers, who want to take care of their loved one themselves, face stress and depression because they become xated on caring for the other person, not themselves. She said caregivers must take care of themselves and lean on family

members and friends for support.

Coping with Alzheimer’s Travis said Mace has had sayings during races and life. In fact, Mace has a tattoo that says “It’s all good training” on his forearm because he believes there’s value in going through something di cult. at’s Mace’s attitude toward Alzheimer’s disease.

e disease’s toll can be seen in the races that father and son have undertaken as time goes by.

ey ran the Leadville 50-mile race in 2021, the Leadville Marathon in 2022, and they are planning to do the Leadville 10K this year.

“I have realized that winning doesn’t matter; I just want to run with my dad,” Travis explained. e family knows that Mace’s health continues to deteriorate, so they are planning for the future while still trying to be present in the here and now.

Mace wants people to know that people with Alzheimer’s disease are like everyone else, and they go on with life, though a little di erently.

10

“Just love the person (with Alzheimer’s),” Pam said. “ ey are the same person. As things change, we will have to change. It’s not going to get easier.”

Pam, already patient with an optimistic outlook, said she’s learned that it’s OK to ask for help.

Helping others

Pam said it was important for them to reach out to others on the Alzheimer’s disease journey to share information and to connect for support.

“Why stay home and hide?” she asked.

Travis said connecting with others on the same path has become a new mission, and a big goal of the book is to make a di erence and help people. Secondarily, it gave father and son something to do together.

“We are not Alzheimer’s experts,” Travis said, “but we are sharing our story.”

Mace continues to nd happiness in his life, and Travis attributes that “to my mom being incredibly supportive and energetic.”

“What is important to know,” Mace said, “is you will still be OK even after the diagnosis. I’m still an athlete and as good as I ever was. I’m perfectly happy. I have a great family.”

Lakewood mom takes to social media for #Here4thekids movement

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood mom Wolf Terry posted a map of her neighborhood, which included 12 gun stores in the vicinity of her house. During the video post, she also pointed out how close one store is to the local elementary school.

Terry used the video on TikTok and Instagram to promote the movement #Here4thekids and the desire to see the ban of guns, especially assault ri es, in the state of Colorado.

Here4thekids is a grassroots movement by mothers to end gun violence in Colorado schools. e group will come together in a “sitin” style protest June 5 to urge Gov. Jared Polis to ban and buy back guns in Colorado. Terry says her video was one of many calls to action that she has made for moms in the area. Her speci c target: white moms.

Here4thekis is led by Black women: Tina Strawn, Saira Rao and Myisha Hill. Strawn released a video where she states, “Our ancestors and the Black leaders of the Civil Rights Movement gave us the blueprint.” She goes on to tell the white women of the movement,

“ is is your Selma.”

According to Terry, Strawn is referring to the March 1965 Civil Rights Movement protest in Selma,

Mississippi.

“Bloody Sunday happened. White women heard about it. ey said Black men andBlack women should not be brutalized for our right to vote. (White women) got on buses. ey went down to Selma. ings changed.”

Terry added that white women of Je erson County are being asked to show up for a speci c reason.

“Because we have the most amount of privilege,” Terry said. “And it’s about time we show up for something.”

She said that privilege will change the way that this anti-gun violence

movement is treated.

“Primarily black BIPOC movements are being brutalized rather than being listened to,” Terry said.

#Here4thekids will meet up on May 17 at Evans High School in Denver for sign-making, education and more. is event is a preparation of sorts for the June 3 sit-in protests planned for the Capitol Building. For more information, follow #Here4thekids on social media and the movement’s website for more information. Terry is the sole Lakewood area contact at press time. Follow her on social media for updates.

Conditions across the state are warming, and in the mountains, that means more avalanche hazards.  e chance of “wet avalanches” increases when snowpack melts in the springtime. ose types of avalanches occur when layers of snow beneath the surface become unstable due to increased moisture. Colorado’s snowpack is 38 percentage points higher than the median for this time of year, according to the National Water and Climate Center. at means there’s even more potential runo than normal.

Brian Lazar, deputy director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, said the high amount of snow that’s fallen this winter has contributed to the high risk of wet avalanches. e state’s high-elevation areas have received snowfall as recently as the nal week of April.

“As that cold snow warms up and sees sun after the storm leaves, it will

tend to sheet o the underlying crust and produce kind of long-running wet avalanche activity, which is also what we saw over the last couple days,” Lazar said.

Lazar said wet avalanche activity will likely drop o once higher temperatures become more consistent and snowpack melts, but there will still be plenty of risk for backcountry skiers and other outdoor recreators in the coming weeks. He said anyone going out into the snow should be extra careful.

“Outside of checking your forecast, you want to make sure you’re still carrying your minimum required rescue gear, which includes an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, and a probe,” Lazar said.

A man died near Breckinridge over the weekend after he was caught in a slide, becoming Colorado’s 11th avalanche fatality this snow season. One more recreational fatality will tie the state’s all-time record, set in 1993. is story via Colorado Public Radio, a Colorado Community Media content partner.

Mountain climbing movies that take things to a new level

There’s a phrase that’s often used to promote action movies: “heart-stopping.” It’s a pretty dramatic description that’s usually slapped on ctional stories with lots of shoot-‘em-up scenes and a bunch of crazy car chases. Sure, a lot of those movies are exciting to watch, but deep down, you know it’s all make-believe. ey rarely live up to the hype.

But this weekend you can go check out some new lms that are actual documentaries of real-life adventures the promoters have labeled as “heartstopping” and that truly go above and beyond what you might expect from that kind of description. Judging from the trailer for them, I can say that these lms start at that point and move on to truly terrifying in some places and I’m not talking about monsters, ghosts, demons or serial killers here. ese are three mountain climbing movies that take things to a totally new level, in more ways that you can image.

I moved in with my 4-year-old daughter in August of 2019, hoping to build a new life after leaving a domestic violence situation. Little did I know that this decision would not only provide me with a ordable housing and education opportunities, but also vital mental health services.

Before coming to Warren Village, I had already earned a certi cate in

Each of them has amazing cinematography and they all present people overcoming sets of vastly di erent circumstances.  OK, now I’ve seen the trailer and if you are an outdoor adventure kind of person, or someone who likes to experience di erent places and cultures, you are probably going to love these lms. But, if you are afraid of heights, squeamish about bombs going o and think that people risking their lives just for a little adventure is totally insane, then this might not be the evening entertainment you are looking for. e climbing is extreme, the cameras put you right in the middle of the action, sometimes looking

down 1,000 feet, the climbers do slip and fall occasionally (they are roped in so it’s not a tragedy) and the one in Palestine shows what the people there have to endure in a sometimes hostile political environment just to be able to climb the local mountains.

ere will also be a meet and greet with Tim Bruns, a Colorado local who’s featured in the lm Resistance Climbing, on both Friday and Saturday night. Tim has spent many years living in Palestine and supporting the climbing community there. He is the Co-Founder of Wadi Climbing, the rst climbing gym in Palestine, and the author of the Climbing Palestine guidebook. He currently resides in Boulder, Colorado and will be leading a Q&A during the intermission.

It’s sponsored by Northface, Black Diamond and Yeti. e American Mountaineering Center is located at 710 10th St. here in Golden. Now I’ll be perfectly honest here. I don’t want to give anyone the impression that I actually do any rock climbing myself. I also don’t go sur ng, gliding o mountains with a wing suit or paraglider and I used to be a pretty average hiker and mountain biker. But I do really love watching these amazing people accomplish things that I can only do in my imagination. It may not inspire me to try hanging o some ledge by my ngertips, but it does make me feel like overcoming any of the mundane hurdles in my life is a lot easier than what these folks have accomplished. And that’s all the inspiration I need right now.

I saw the nonpro t as an opportunity to not only continue my education and pay low rent, but also access a range of services such as career development, housing and personal nance, child development and, of course, mental health counseling. It was just before COVID-19 struck that I began meeting with Pam, a counselor at Warren Village. In response to the pandemic, we shifted to virtual sessions. Despite the chal-

lenges, this counseling proved to be life-changing for me. I was diagnosed with PTSD and ADHD, and being able to work with a professional to organize my thoughts and feelings was a game-changer.

Since leaving Warren Village, I now own a home and possess the necessary resilience and coping skills to prioritize other aspects of my life, such as decorating my new house and providing my daughter with quality possessions without relying on government aid. I consider myself lucky to continue receiving help from Pam through regular counseling sessions, and I will always be appreciative to Warren Village for facilitating this connection.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial to prioritize your mental well-being.

e recent pandemic has taken a toll on all of us, but particularly those who were already struggling with psychological issues.

So I urge all of us to take the time this month to focus on our mental health and well-being. It is not always easy to prioritize ourselves, but it is crucial to living a healthy and ful lling life. Seek help now instead of potentially having problems compound over time.

Let us remember that mental health is just as important as physical health, and work towards ending the stigma and ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need.

A summer of musical adventure at the Arvada Center

Over the years, the Arvada Center’s Summer Concert series has consistently proven itself to be a true gem of the summer. It’s like your favorite neighborhood spot has thrown open its doors for a few hundred friends to get together and hear some great music.

As it gears up for its 2023 season, that feeling is even stronger and more appreciated by audiences, as Philip C. Sneed, president and CEO of the Center, can attest.

“Concerts are back in full force after the pandemic,” he said. “We’re so pleased with the acts we have this year, which includes some returning favorites and some that have never been here before.”

e initial wave of concerts at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is:

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Re: Playing the Parking Game in Golden

(Editor’s note: The article mentioned in this letter was published in the recent Golden Transcript sample edition sent out to Golden residents. The story originally was published in the Golden Transcript in February.)

As to downtown Golden’s “parking crisis,” everything in the article by journalist Corinne Westeman likens to the metaphor of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

As long as the Golden City Council continues adding apartments, buildings, motels, businesses, et al., there will be a point where there are no solutions because there will be too many people crammed into too little space. At that point, all our quality of life standards swirl into a horrible outcome. What makes downtown Golden quaint and inviting will become a legend of the past. Why can’t reasonable people see

it? What’s so hard about simple solutions that would work…instead of kicking the can down the road?

More cars parking in outlying parking lots means more air pollution. More shuttle busses mean more toxic air. More growth means we all pay higher utilities. More water taps mean less and more expensive water. The more people we add to Golden, the lower our quality of life. We breathe more toxic air.

With more people, we accelerate catastrophic climate change. We never solve it. We make everything worse for our kids.

What would solve it? Answer: “Golden Population Stabilization Policy…Golden Stop Growth Policy…Golden Quality of Life Policy.”

Because in the end, when there is no more space to build, we will be forced to stop growing, anyway. Why not stop now?

performances that haven’t been announced yet.

Longtime attendees may notice the Center is pulling more wellknown national acts in the last years and Sneed attributes this to steady growth in the venue’s reputation.

“Even a few years ago, I don’t think we’ve have been able to get some of these acts,” he said. “A big part of it is the venue, which feels intimate but still has a lot of seats. Word is getting around about how great a place the Center is.”

e variety of performers allows music fans to indulge in any style they like and local favorites like the Colorado Symphony and Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra are always exploring new ways to draw listeners in, like performing selections from popular lm scores.

e Center itself is also a key factor in what makes seeing a performance so special — there are art shows at the indoor galleries and students all over the place taking a variety of arts classes.

“I love the energy here and the concerts allow people to experience that energy,” Sneed said. “I love sitting outside and listening to the music and seeing people lighting up for their favorite artists. It’s just a great place to be.”

Pools around the metro area are gearing up to open for the summer. at is, if there are enough lifeguards.

e years-long trend where pools have cut hours or closed altogether appears to be waning, though it’s still a possibility in some places, according to aquatics managers across the Denver area, who are more optimistic than in past years, but still concerned as summer nears.

For instance, South Suburban Parks and Recreation needs 250 lifeguards for its peak summer season but has only 183 ready to go.

Karl Brehm, the recreation dis-

trict’s aquatics manager, hopes to get closer to the goal as summer approaches but wonders why applications are so slow to roll in.

“I have seen, more and more, less interest in the position,” Brehm said.

He’s been in the business for a long time. Brehm worked at Elitch Gardens for ve seasons and the Highlands Ranch Community Association for 16 years. He said he’s seen a general lack of interest, generationally, from young people who want to do the job. Fewer people are becoming CPR certi ed as well, he added.

“I’ve often wondered why we were having those issues,” Brehm said. “Back in the day, I remember if you didn’t have

your job by spring break, you weren’t getting a summer job.”  e problem could a ect South Suburban pools across the district, which serves more than 150,000 residents in Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Littleton, Sheridan, Lone Tree and parts of Centennial and Douglas, Je erson and Arapahoe counties.

If he can’t hire enough lifeguards, hours at pools could be cut, Brehm said. It’s not for a lack of trying, though. e district has introduced incentives, bonuses, pay bumps and more in hopes of luring in more lifeguards.

South Suburban isn’t alone.  ere’s a national lifeguard shortage, which was exacerbated by the pandemic. Lifeguard shortages a ected roughly a third of public pools throughout

the country.

In response last year, Gov. Jared Polis announced a “Pools Special Initiative 2022,” in which Colorado introduced incentives. Chief among them was a $1,000 payment to those who completed lifeguard training to ght pool postponements and decreasing operating hours.

Now, out of necessity, hiring lifeguards is ongoing throughout the entire summer season, Brehm said. Lifeguards for South Suburban make between $15 and $19.14 per hour, per South Suburban’s website. A head lifeguard makes $15.75 - $19.93 per hour.

But there are additional costs to South Suburban. ough life-

LIFEGUARDS

guards are generally seen as rst-time, fun summer jobs, they must possess crucial knowledge regarding saving human lives. A full-course lifeguard training at South Suburban through Red Cross costs $175. Community First Aid, CPR and AED training/ blended learning costs $80. After 75 hours of work, South Suburban reimburses course fees, excluding the $40 certi cation fee.

Despite such incentives, lifeguards still make less than sports o cials at South Suburban. A youth sports o cial starts at $20.00 per hour.

North of Denver, in Federal Heights, the Hyland Hills Parks and Recreation, a youth baseball/softball umpire makes $65 per 90 minutes. A Pilates instructor for Brighton makes $1 more than a lifeguard per hour. e discrepancy is notable, especially considering most lifeguards work on a part-time basis.

Yet, the lifeguard numbers are booming for Hyland Hills. Generally, the district employs roughly 300 lifeguards per season. is season, it’s closer to 375, according to Director of Communications Joann Cortez.

e main focus in hiring and retaining their lifeguards at Hyland Hills pools and the massive Water World water park is legacy, Cortez said. Water World is in its 43rd operating season.

“We’ve been in the water park business for over 40 years, and we’re very aware of the nationwide shortage of lifeguards,” she said. “I think what has helped us is we have a legacy pool of candidates. Kids often know Water World just from coming for the experience, and if one of their older siblings takes a job with us, eventually the ones that are following can’t wait for their turn. We’re just very, very fortunate in that way.”

Cortez said Hyland Hills is committed to creating a memorable rst-job experience. It should be fun, but also taken seriously. It’s a constant balance of managing a “fun job” and literally monitoring people’s lives daily. Recruiting is big, and so are the incentives. e employees get free soft drinks, free membership, and even fun events like “prom night” during the season.

Hyland Hills has an end-of-season bonus as well, with the ability to earn an additional dollar per hour’s pay. e lifeguards’ pay ranges depending on the position, such as a guard lifeguard, a shallow-water lifeguard and a deep-water lifeguard.

On the Water World website, lifeguards are hired at $16.15 per hour. A “lifeguard attendant” makes $16.00 per hour. Returning lifeguards make slightly more depending on experience. Cortez said the main factor in keeping employees is how they treat them.

“We’re in a very favorable position, but we’re sad there aren’t enough lifeguards to go around,” Cortez said.

Meanwhile, local pools and recreation centers around the Denver area have conducted pointed campaigns to ensure their numbers are sustainable and their pools are ready for the masses.

While it remains to be seen if that strategy will work for South Suruban, it seems to be working elsewhere. Recreation centers in the City of Brighton, for example, are fully sta ed ahead of the summer. ey were last year, too.

“It’s been tough at di erent agencies, municipalities, and neighborhood pools. ere was de nitely a lifeguard shortage the last several years, especially

last year,” said Je rey Hulett, assistant director of recreation services for Brighton. “But we were fully sta ed last year.”

ere have been a number of initiatives and incentives they’ve introduced to get ahead of the lifeguard shortage crisis, he said. It was a top-tobottom e ort in Brighton to make sure the crisis was minimized. Pay was a main focus. It wasn’t too long ago they were paying lifeguards just $13 per hour, he said. Now, it’s up to $17. And it goes up each season for returnees. Head lifeguards make roughly $1.50 more per hour.

Recreation bene ts were expanded to the sta and their families, even part-time employees. at includes complimentary membership to the recreation center and discounts on youth programs.

ere’s also an end-of-season bonus for those that work the entire summer.

e grants from the governor’s o ce gave Brighton exibility to expand e orts in hiring and retaining employees. According to Aquatics Supervisor Nicole Chapman, it can be di cult to retain lifeguards for pools and centers too big or too small. Brighton, fortunately, was right in a “sweet spot.”

“Some of the much larger municipalities are running into an issue where, physically, the sta we hire are local kids who want to work at their local pool,” Chapman explained. “And if they get hired on by a larger municipality, the expectation is to expect your sta to be willing to work at any of your city rec facilities, and that’s just not feasible for a lot of

Brighton only has two locations — the Brighton Recreation Center and Brighton Oasis Family Aquatic Park — and Chapman said, and there are options for those living on either side of the city. But it’s still a small enough area that employees can work at both locations.

Perhaps back in the day, they could wait for the applications, and they’d have more than they knew what to do with come pool season. Now, that’s simply not the case. Recruiting is essential, both in the high schools and at job fairs, as well as providing a ordable training opportunities and classes in-house — something Hulett said they’d never do before.

Brighton had 88 lifeguards in 2022, which is considered fully sta ed. ey currently have 70 lifeguards for the upcoming summer, but Chapman said she expects those numbers to ll out to 88 again considering guards in training are set to graduate from classes by the end of the month.

Meanwhile, back in South Suburban, Brehm is looking for dozens more lifeguards to fully sta pools this summer.

High school students and student athletes are encouraged to apply. ey can learn valuable skills and essential life-saving procedures they’ll carry with them forever, Brehm said. Plus, it’s an ideal time for student athletes to make money, considering many sports are inactive over the summer.

As the pandemic continues to dwindle, the lifeguard participation numbers are expected to make a leap. But the job itself, and those working it, must be valued consistently to hire and retain those numbers season after season.

younger kids that don’t have their own transportation. ey’re really there looking for a summer job around the corner.”

“We really look for not just kids, but really anyone who is going to take the job seriously and understand just how much of a vital role they play every summer in keeping the community safe,” Chapman said. “We really try to emphasize that with our sta , and there are always sta members that really take that to heart, and those are the ones we want to see come back.”

Finding a balance between making sure lifeguards understand the seriousness of the role and not taking all the fun out of the job is a ne line to walk, she said. But they have to walk it every season.

The lifeguard shortage has become a crisis nationwide. Local pools and recreation centers have worked overtime to ensure its e ects on them are minimal this season. COURTESY CITY OF BRIGHTON

Colorado o cials seek comments on Xcel Energy rate hike proposal

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Coloradans can now submit comments on Xcel Energy’s proposal to increase base rates for electricity.

Bill Levis, an AARP Colorado volunteer and former director of the Colorado O ce of Consumer Counsel, charged with protecting consumers, said Xcel has maintained robust pro ts while hiking

utility bills year after year, a practice he calls “pancaking,” which stacks costs onto customers.

He argued many Coloradans trying to get by on Social Security cannot a ord additional rate increases.

“And this is a huge impact on them,” Levis pointed out. “We have found that utilities can take up between 10% and 30% of the income of seniors. And that’s really hard to take.”

Xcel has reported the cost of electricity increased by just under 5% from the last quarter of 2022, and their new proposal before the Colorado Public Utilities Commission would raise base rates by 8.2%. People can comment on the proposal by calling 303-869-3490, online at puc.colorado.gov, and at public hearings scheduled for May 31 and July 11.

Xcel is also asking the Public Utilities Commission to bump up its authorized pro ts to just over 10%.

Last year Xcel posted more than $8.3 billion in gross pro ts.

Public Service, the regulated utility with a mission to provide energy to consumers at the lowest cost possible, is a subsidiary of Xcel, a forpro t company. Levis contended it is where the con ict comes in.

“Because the goal of for-pro t companies is to maximize share-

holder value,” Levis explained. “But there are times when even for-pro t companies have to bite the bullet and absorb some of the costs.” Xcel has argued rate increases are necessary to transition to clean energy. But Levis countered the company is passing costs along to consumers and refuses to put any skin in the game.

He noted when telephone utilities upgraded their copper networks

to ber optics, they took on part of the costs. e Public Utilities Commission will conduct public and evidentiary hearings before deciding whether Xcel should be granted a fth rate increase in as many years. A decision is expected in September. e Public News Service story via e Associated Press’ Storyshare, of which Colorado Community Media participates.

Golden baseball takes driver’s seat in 4A Je co

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

EVERGREEN — It was a playogame atmosphere May 5 on Evergreen High School’s baseball eld. e Class 4A Je co League rivalry between Golden and Evergreen was renewed with a huge conference game. e Demons and Cougars were the only two teams in 4A Je co that hadn’t dropped a league game yet.

When the dust settled, Golden — No. 5 in the CHSAANow.com 4A rankings — captured its 13th straight victory with a 8-4 win over the Cougars.

“I didn’t have to do much to get them ready,” Golden coach Jackie McBroom said of his team playing on the road against Evergreen, who was on an 8-game winning streak coming in. “ ey were ready to play baseball right out of the gate. ey knew what was in the line.”

Golden (17-4, 7-0 in league) took a 1-game lead over Evergreen (13-5, 6-1) and Green Mountain (14-7, 6-1) in the conference standings with two league games remaining this week.

e Demons jumped out early with a 5-run top of the second inning that was started by the bottom half of the line-up. Junior Jacob Dehm had a one-out single and senior Daine Hart followed up with a 2-run home run from his seven-hole spot to give Golden an early 2-0 lead.

“It was just a great inning with a bunch of energy,” Hart said of the 5-run fourth inning that included his 2-run home run to start the scoring.

“I came up with an approach. I got a good ball and just took it.”

Hart took it over the left eld fence for his rst home run of the season.

“Daine had a huge hit,” McBroom said of the 2-run home run. “I’m proud for him. He is a senior who had been grinding for a long time and ghting for playing time. He has gotten that opportunity and has de nitely made the most of it.”

e Demons kept it going with sophomore Sawyer Brinkman, junior Kohei Shimada and senior Hayden Carbone crossing the plate while Evergreen starting pitcher Ryan Cook was touched up for four hits.

“It de ntely helps when the bot-

tom-half of your line-up jump starts you in the second inning,” McBroom said. “It makes it easier for Laif on the mound pitching with a lead.”

Golden tacked a run on in the third and fth inning to pushed the lead up to 7-0 with the Demons’ ace Laif Palmer cruising on the mound having given up just three hits through fth innings.

However, Evergreen came to life in the bottom of the sixth inning taking advantage of a the rst walk by Palmer, along with two Demon errors. Evergreen senior Augie Webre ripped a 3-run home run for the big blow to cut the Demons’ lead to 7-4 before Palmer could get out of the inning.

“ at bottom of the sixth inning was tough. ey hit the home run, but we still had a 3-run lead,” Palmer said. “I knew I had been dealing all game and I could hold them. I knew I was going to shut it down in the seventh.”

Palmer got a shot in the arm by fellow senior Jaydon Hord before taking the mound in the bottom of seventh inning. Hord hit a towering solo home run with two outs in the top of

the seventh inning to add an insurance run and grab the momentum back to the Demons.

“ at was just electric,” Palmer said of Hord’s solo home run. “ at got us all red up and got me ready to go out there and K three in row. at was a big moment that we needed.”

Palmer struck out the side in the bottom of the seventh inning to nish with 13 strikeouts. It was the Oregon State University-commit’s fth straight win and sixth double-digit strikeout game of the season. e next and likely nal start of the regular season for Palmer will come at home ursday, May 11, against Green Mountain where the league title could be decided in the conference and regular-season nale for the Demons.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Caroline Polachekat Mission Ballroom

It is always fun to trace a performer’s arc, especially when you get to see them really grow into themselves. at’s the case with Caroline Polachek, who formed her rst band, Charlift, while a student at the University of Colorado Boulder. When I rst wrote about her all the way back (kidding) in 2021, she was playing the Bluebird and then she opened for Dua Lipa at Ball Arena last year. And now in support of her fantastic sophomore album, “Desire, I Want to Turn Into You,” she’s headlining Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver.  Polachek will be performing at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 14, and she has a killer lineup joining her — openers are indie rock legend Alex G and upand-coming talent Indigo De Souza. is has the potential to be one of the season’s best shows, so get tickets at www.axs.com.

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Arvada, Colorado.

REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about May 26, 2023 the City of Arvada, Colorado will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of City of Arvada, Colorado for the release of eight project-based vouchers, under the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016, to undertake the following project:

Project Title: Cornerstone Legacy Senior Residences

The apartments will comprise 72 units in one, elevator served, three-story residential building on 4.14 acres. According to the Site Design and Site Narrative,the units of Legacy Senior Residences are targeted to incomes at 30%, 50%, and 60% of the area median income (AMI). The 72 units will be offered in one and two-bedroom apartments. Site amenities will include 24 garages and surface parking, outdoor recreation areas, grilling stations, a fitness center, and secured access entry points.

Location: 5430 West 64th Avenue, Arvada, Jefferson County, Colorado 80003.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Arvada, Colorado has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. An Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), therefore, is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Housing Preservation and Resources Division of the City of Arvada, 8001 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the projects may submit written comments to the Housing Preservation and Resources Division of the City of Arvada, 8001 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado. All comments received by May 25, 2023 will be considered by the City of Arvada, Colorado prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS

The City of Arvada, Colorado certifies to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that Ms. Lorie Gillis in her capacity as City Manager consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Arvada, Colorado to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Arvada’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are made on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Arvada, Colorado; (b) the City of Arvada, Colorado has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before the approval of a release of funds by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; or (d) another Federal agency, acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504, has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures of 24 CFR Part 58 and shall be addressed to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Region VIII Office, 8ADE, 1670 Broadway Street, Colorado 80202-4801. Potential objectors should contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

K. Restricted Parking in Designated Residential Areas

1. The Division is hereby authorized to determine that there is a need to restrict Parking of Vehicles in a designated residential area by Persons who do not reside in that area who seek access to nearby public buildings or facilities, including schools, based on a finding that unrestricted Parking could:

a.Cause hazardous traffic conditions in the residential area.

b. Produce excessive auto emissions, noise, trash and refuse.

c. Unreasonably burden access by area residents to their residences; or

d.Damage the character of those areas as Residential Districts and diminish the value of property in those areas.

2. Said determination shall not be made unless at least 60 percent (60%) of the households within the designated area support such determination.

3. The boundaries of the area within which Parking will be restricted shall be determined by the Division Director or his/her designee.

4. Upon a determination of need and area as set forth in Section K.1. through K.3, and upon a resolution of approval by the Board of County

Commissioners, the Division may include the area on the list specified in the Restricted Parking in Designated Residential Areas Policy and may post signs pursuant to this Ordinance in the area determined to be adversely impacted to limit the duration of Parking, to designate certain no Parking areas, to limit Parking on certain days and/or during designated hours to residents of such area, to provide notice that Vehicles Parked illegally in such areas are subject to impoundment, and/ or to impose any other restrictions reasonably necessary to mitigate the Parking problem and associated harm.

5. If the Parking restriction limits Parking to residents of the area, resident permits shall be obtained from the Division and dispensed by the homeowner's association, and if there is no association, then by the residents. The homeowner's association or residents shall be required to compensate the County for the cost of the permits. Parking permits shall be distributed to all residents of the designated area who desire a permit.

6. Any resident permit shall be affixed to the lefthand corner of the rear bumper of the Vehicle.

7. This Ordinance shall not apply to emergency Vehicles responding to an emergency or to delivery Vehicles that are in the process of making a delivery within the restricted area.

9. This Ordinance shall be enforced pursuant to the provisions of Section A through H.

L.Severability

Should any section, clause, sentence, or part of this Ordinance be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, the same shall not affect, impair or invalidate this Ordinance as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be invalid.

M.Public Health, Safety, and Welfare

This Board of County Commissioners hereby finds, determines and declares that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare.
