From the mayor to the re department, the future of Golden is in voters’ hands this November. ree City Council positions, including the mayor, are up for election Nov. 7, and the city will have two tax-related questions on the ballot. One asks for a 6-mill property tax increase to help fund the Golden Fire Department; the other asks for voters’ permission to use a $600,000 lodging tax surplus.

e city will have a third question to update general charter language to be more gender-neutral, such as “councilor” instead of “councilman.”

Je co students show gradual improvement in reading and math, still below pre-pandemic

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Jeffco students are inching closer to pre-pandemic proficiency rates in math and reading, according to the latest results of the Colorado Measures of Academic Success.

More students met or exceeded expectations in English Language Arts and math than in 2022, but scores remained lower than in 2019.

Just over half of Jeffco’s third through eighth graders who took the test met or exceeded gradelevel expectations on the English Language Arts portion, beating the state average of 43.7%. At 38.7%, math proficiency rates also exceeded the state average of 32.9% and showed a 1.3% improvement over 2022.

While the district average hasn’t reached the ELA and math

proficiency rates it saw in 2019, there are some bright spots. More Jeffco fifth graders, who were in second grade at the height of the learning disruptions, are on grade level in reading than four years ago. Also, more thirdfourth-, and fifth-graders met or exceeded math expectations this year than in 2019.

“Like other areas in Colorado and the U.S., Jeffco students faced learning challenges due to the compounding impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the district in a press release. “However, Jeffco students, including specific groups like English Language Learners and those with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), are steadily returning to their pre-pandemic achievement levels.”

The district acknowledged that there’s more work to do and that some groups face academic

challenges. While 58% of White students met or exceeded ELA expectations and 46.4% did so in math, only 30.3% of Black and 29.1% of Hispanic students achieved the same level in English and 13.1% and 17.3% in math, respectively.

Among economically disadvantaged students, 25% of those who qualify for free or reduced lunch met or exceeded expectations in English and 14% in math. Ninety percent of students with an IEP, a plan meant to help students with learning challenges achieve at the same academic level as their peers, aren’t on grade level for reading, and 91% aren’t for math.

English language learners struggle the most, with only 8.2%

The district said its strategic plan “aims to boost learning for all students, focusing on strengthening reading skills for younger students and math skills for older ones, ensuring all students are prepared for life after graduation.

Compared to other metro-area districts, a higher percentage of Jeffco students met grade-level standards in English than Denver and Cherry Creek school districts and in math than Denver. Jeffco is the second-largest school district in the state, serving more than 65,000 students across 140 schools.

I Found Just One Marshall Fire Home Being Rebuilt With Fire Resistance in Mind

Following the December 2021 Marshall fire, I wrote several columns about how the homes lost in that fire could have been more fire resistant, and in one I reported on the homes that didn’t burn while all the homes around them did. Find those columns at www.JimSmithColumns.com

Last Saturday I visited 181 Mohawk Circle in Superior, which is being rebuilt with “EcoBlox,” a non-combustible masonry material. The home is in the Sagamore subdivision, which was completely destroyed in the Marshall Fire. Today that subdivision is abuzz with construction activity on virtually every lot, but all of the homes I saw are being rebuilt as wood-frame homes, except for this one.

The reason I happened to visit the home was that it was one of eight Boulder area homes on the Colorado Green Building Guild’s annual Green Homes Tour. This was one of just two homes on the tour that are still under construction, and it made by far the biggest impression on me.

Lisa Morey, founder of Colorado Earth LLC, was on-site to answer questions about the blocks which she makes and sells for home construction. After graduating with an engineering degree she got another degree in architectural design. She started building with adobe bricks while living and working in New Zealand in the early 2000s. There she gained experience from building nearly 50 homes, and from that work published a book, “Adobe Homes for All Climates,” in 2010.

Lisa’s mission is to scale the natural building industry by offering an affordable wall system made from locally obtained material. Through her company, she designs, manufactures, and builds EcoBlox, a structural block that is “fireproof, soundproof, bugproof, bulletproof, breathable, biodegradable, and mold resistant.”

The blocks are made using “overburden” material (earth) from a nearby

quarry and are not fired. The walls made from EcoBlox are finished with a limebased plaster that can last indefinitely. EcoBlox have lower embodied energy because, unlike regular bricks, they are not fired. The blocks have an average compressible strength of 1,200 psi. Two holes in the blocks are for rebar running the height of the walls. The holes are then filled with concrete. The mortar between the blocks is made from the same material as the blocks themselves. The exterior is then covered with lime plaster; the interior is left as exposed blocks with a thin lime wash.

While the exterior walls are made of the EcoBlox, interior walls are typically framed in the usual manner using 2x4s and 2x6s, although they can be constructed of narrower EcoBlox. The exterior walls are composed of two rows of the blocks as shown in this picture from Colorado Earth’s website. Between them electrical wiring and other utilities can be run before the gap is filled with perlite insulation. The blocks measure 6”x12” and vary in height from 2” to 5”. Typical height is 3.5”.

Earthen construction is nothing new, of course. We’re all familiar with adobe, and perhaps you’ve heard of “rammed earth.” The genius of these EcoBlox is that they provide a construction material that can be purchased by the pallet and used by masons to build homes.

The Great Wall of China was built of rammed earth in 5000 B.C. According to the company’s slide presentation, 30 to 50 percent of the world’s population currently lives in earth-based dwellings, including in over 100 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Superior home is not Lisa’s first

Denver Ranch Back on Market with Refinished Floors

This charming brick ranch at 2670 Kearney Street in desirable Park Hill is only minutes from City Park, the Denver Zoo & the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The home is on a double lot with extensive flower & vegetable gardens. The bathroom was completely remodeled in 2020 and the kitchen was renovated with new granite countertops. A new roof and Bosch dishwasher were installed in July 2023. All kitchen appliances and washer/dryer are included. The original hardwood floors were refinished last week. The home features new Anderson windows throughout. The main sewer line was completely replaced in 2009 when the seller purchased the property. Backyard includes newer storage shed & children's playground structure including swings & slide. The large concrete patio is great for summer entertaining. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, plus a non-conforming third bedroom in the basement. This delightful home is located on a wide, quiet street only one block from McAuliffe International Middle School.

home built with EcoBlox. She has built other such home throughout Colorado and the USA.

I love the advantages of earthen construction. Not only is it non-combustible and have a minimal carbon footprint, but studies have shown 50% less energy is needed for heating and cooling compared to a traditional wood-frame home. If you like a quiet environment, you’ll appreciate that the walls cut in half the intrusion of outside noise.

The machine that compresses the mixture of clay, dirt and lime into the blocks is made by Advanced Earthen Construction Technologies (AECT). The location of Colorado Earth’s machine is in Brighton. It can produce up to 480 blocks per hour from locally sourced clay and dirt. Being locally sourced further reduces the carbon footprint of EcoBlox.

“These machines are what builders will use when this industry really takes off, said Ryan Runge, president of AECT. Ryan says that the wood-frame style of home construction was originally a quick fix after WWII to build homes for returning soldiers, but the idea stuck. He thinks the construction industry will adopt building with products like EcoBlox now for many reasons, including fire resistance, lower carbon footprint and better insulation resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.

Lisa told me that she made a presentation to many homeowners who lost their

Price Reduced on Unique Wide Acres Ranch Home

Wide Acres is that quiet neighborhood tucked south of Colfax to the east of Colorado Mills. With 3,493 sq. ft. of finished living area, this 3-bedroom home at 1125 Zinnia Street is set back about 100 feet from the street on its 0.57-acre lot, making it even more quiet and secluded. The price is now $100,000 less than its original listing price, making it a great deal, too. Come to my open house this Saturday, noon to 2pm and see for yourself. This home is convenient to St. Anthony's Hospital, NREL, the Colorado School of Mines and downtown Golden. It is being sold by the same family that had it built in 1974. The indoor and outdoor living space is exceptional, as you’ll see when you view the narrated video tour at www.WideAcresHome.info or come to the open house. Or call me at 303-525-1851 to request a private showing.

Applewood car shooting suspect to enter plea Oct. 30

Behme waives right to preliminary hearing

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Lakewood man accused of shooting at an occupied car May 23 in Applewood has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

Paul Behme, 32, is scheduled to enter a plea in the case at 8 a.m. Oct. 30 at the Je erson County Courthouse.

During his Sept. 7 court hearing, Behme appeared virtually from the Je co jail and con rmed he wanted to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. He told the judge he wanted to continue negotiating with the

DA’s O ce, however the DA’s O ce stated Sept. 8 it hadn’t extended a formal plea o er to Behme yet.

Behme was arrested June 13 on two counts of attempted rstdegree murder. His bond was set at $1 million cash only, although his attorney said Sept. 7 the defense wants to address bond at the Oct. 30 arraignment.

According to the arrest a davit, around 9:30 p.m. May 23, a car with two occupants was driving westbound along West 32nd Avenue in the Applewood area, which is unincorporated Je erson County between Golden and Lakewood. Near the Eldridge Street intersection, the car was struck seven times by gun re, with one bullet piercing the windshield and nearly missing the occupants.

e driver — a Golden resident — only sustained minor injuries from the shattered glass, and the passenger was uninjured, according to the a davit. Investigators identi ed a suspect vehicle in the case, which was later determined to be Behme’s.

Prosecutors have noted how Behme also has an extensive criminal history, as he’s failed to appear in Broom eld, Adams and Denver counties on separate drug-related cases.

He’s also been charged in a separate attempted murder case in Parker. On June 11, Behme reportedly shot into an occupied car in a hotel parking lot. He’s been charged with attempted rst-degree murder and felony menacing.

In the a davit, Behme reportedly told investigators he’d been in

con ict with gang members, whom he believed to be following him May 23 in Applewood.

“He was acting in self-defense, but not against (the victims),” Behme’s defense attorney said during a June 16 hearing. “ … It wasn’t intended to even involve the individuals in this case.”

Man accused of killing Sheri ’s K-9 to enter plea Oct. 3

Romero unable to attend Sept. 5 hearing while in DOC custody

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Lakewood man who reportedly killed a Je erson County Sheri K-9 and pointed a gun at a Golden police o cer has had his arraignment continued again, after he was unable to make his recent court date while in Colorado Department of Corrections custody.

Eduardo Romero, 29, is now scheduled to enter a plea at 1 p.m. Oct. 3. His attorney anticipated Romero will appear virtually for the hearing at the Je erson County Courthouse.

Romero was arrested Feb. 13 for reportedly eeing police near the Colorado School of Mines campus and shooting K-9 Gra t, who was trying to apprehend him. e District Attorney’s O ce led eight charges against Romero, including felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, identity theft, motor vehicle theft and menacing. His initial bond was set at $300,000 cash only.

Romero wasn’t present — either virtually or in-person — at his Sept. 5 arraignment. His attorney said Romero’s in custody at Cañon City’s Arrowhead Correctional Center, which CDOC records conrmed.

us, the attorney asked Judge Jason Carrithers for a four-week continuance to arrange Romero’s virtual court appearance and plea.

During an Aug. 7 court hearing, Romero’s attorney said he and his client had received a plea agree-

ment that included “six gures of restitution,” and they needed time to consider it.

The Feb. 13 incident

As described at the May 9 preliminary hearing, around 12:15 a.m. Feb. 13, a Mines campus o cer and GPD o cer contacted a white Jeep blocking the roadway near the campus.

Romero, the vehicle’s only occupant, was slumped over the steering wheel with his foot on the brake. He later told o cers he’d been drinking and smoking marijuana during a Super Bowl party in Denver.

Romero woke up enough to start driving the Jeep less than 10 mph westbound on 19th Street, across the U.S. Highway 6 overpass. e two o cers followed and “pinched” the Jeep in to prevent it from moving again. Romero then started ramming the Jeep into the patrol cars.

e GPD o cer broke the driver’s side window to grab ahold of Romero, but he slipped free and ran eastbound on 19th Street. e o cer chased him until Romero reportedly pointed a gun toward the o cer, who dove out of the way.

Meanwhile, Romero ran into heavy shrubbery on the northeast side of U.S. 6. Local agencies set up a perimeter, and Deputy Zachary Oliver released K-9 Gra t into the brush to apprehend Romero.

Romero later told detectives that he recognized a “cop dog” was coming toward him. He said the dog didn’t bite him, and he denied pointing his handgun at the dog but “heard the gun re a round.” He assumed he shot the ground.

Solid Denver foundation, now you’re scaling up in Omaha.

ose elected to City Council will be sworn in Jan. 9, according to City Clerk Monica Mendoza.

Property-tax ballot question

Golden’s property tax question will ask voters to approve a 6-mill increase, which would generate about $4.7 million for the Golden Fire Department in its rst year.

City Manager Scott Vargo said that for residential property owners, the increase would equal roughly $35 per year per $100,000 of a property’s assessed value. So, for a $500,000 residence, the homeowner would pay an additional $175 in property taxes if the measure passed.

e formula would be di erent for non-residential properties, he claried.

If passed, Vargo explained, these funds would help the Golden Fire Department recruit, train and retain personnel; improve response times by sta ng two stations 24/7; and purchase necessary equipment.

Golden is a combination department of both paid and volunteer re ghters, although Vargo said it’s becoming harder to recruit and retain volunteers. Additionally, the department’s seen “increased demand and

community expectation around the services” it provides, Vargo continued.

Speci cally, if the measure passes, it’d help fund 14 positions, including re ghters and battalion chiefs.

Nine of these positions have been grant-funded, although funding for two of them have expired and funding for the other seven will expire in the next two years, Vargo said, adding that the city can’t reapply for those grants. So, to preserve these positions, the city must generate its own funding “if we want to maintain the momentum we’ve got.”

Currently, GFD receives general fund dollars, but doesn’t have any dedicated or earmarked tax revenues, Vargo said.

Instead of a property tax increase, the City Council considered a 0.45% sales tax option, but decided property tax revenues would be more stable year-to-year than sales tax revenues. Plus, other local departments are mostly funded by property taxes rather than sales taxes, Vargo added.

e city’s voter surveys earlier this year showed respondents generally supported either a sales tax or a property tax increase to help fund GFD.

Lodging tax surplus

In November 2021, Golden voters

dress visitor impacts on the city and to fund capital improvement projects.

e ballot language said the tax would generate $2 million in its rst year, based on city o cials’ estimates from 2020 and early 2021 data. However, the tax o cially generated $2.6 million in its rst year, creating a surplus the city now needs voter approval to use because of the Colorado Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

Vargo said the city theoretically could issue a refund, but because visitors — not residents — paid the tax, it’d be complicated in terms of practicality and equity.

If this surplus use is approved, Vargo explained the city will use the extra $589,000 for the same purposes as the other $2 million in revenues. is includes managing the Clear Creek corridor with trail improvements, code enforcement and more; providing community grants for 20 local nonpro ts; and helping establish the Ore Cart shuttle system with Colorado School of Mines.

Je erson County focuses on emergency preparedness for older adults

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Preparing for an emergency is a bit di erent for independent older adults.

Essential actions in emergency planning like packing an emergency kit and deciding to evacuate or shelter in place come with special considerations.

To help Je erson County’s older residents, the county commissioners have proclaimed September as Emergency Preparedness Month. e theme is “Preparing Older Adults.”

“ is year’s theme is ‘Preparing for Older Adults,’ and pre-planning is the best way to improve community resiliency from disaster,” the proclamation reads.

Je erson County Public Health is one agency that provides resources, information and more to help the community prepare this month.   “At JCPH, a large part of our work is making sure we are preparing our entire community for emergency events,” said Anjanette Hawkins, Emergency Preparedness and Response Coordinator at JCPH.

“Older adults face even greater risks and challenges when it comes to preparing for emergencies, and as pillars of our community, we owe it to them to champion their wellbeing.”

One of the sites that Je co Public Health recommends is Ready.gov.

e site is an o cial website of the US Department of Homeland Security. It focuses on emergency preparedness and has a special page for older adults. “As an older adult, you may have speci c needs after a disaster,” Ready.gov reads. “Use the information on this page to assess your needs and take simple, lowcost steps that help you get better prepared.”

is information urges families to add things to the emergency prep kit that would help an independent older adult after a disaster. is includes:

• Copies of medical insurance information;

• Extra medical supplies, especially batteries, glasses, oxygen, etc;

• Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes for medical use; and

• A contact list of medical transport services and caregivers,

including backup services in case there are issues reaching the home.

Another resource, the older adulttargeted magazine AARP, o ers an Operation Emergency Prepare guide. It’s interactive and allows families and friends of older adults a way to create an emergency preparedness plan. ere are worksheets, checklists and other tools to help capture what an older adult would need after a disaster. ere are also actionable steps to get everyone moving toward implementing and practicing the plan.

FEMA and Ready.gov o er a pamphlet “Prepare for Emergencies

Now: Information for Older Americans” that’s full of tips, ideas and considerations while creating the emergency plan. ey urge older adults to plan by:

• Adding a whistle to the emergency preparedness kit as an extra measure for signaling for help;

• Stockpiling a week of medications and medical supplies, or as many as the pharmacist will allow;

• Keeping tools to create a barrier to the dangerous air if the older adult cannot evacuate. ese items include tape, plastic sheets (for

painting and covering furniture), masks and more; and

• Securing and/or moving any items that could move or fall into the walkways. ese can impede an emergency evacuation for older adults with disabilities or illnesses that impair mobility.

ere are many other special considerations that must be made when thinking about securing older adults in the family and community.

“As an older adult, you may have speci c needs after a disaster,” read the Je co Public Health announcement on National Emergency Preparedness Month. “ is is especially true for older adults who live independently, have low income, have disabilities, have chronic health issues or live in rural areas.”

To help families, Je co Public Health is hosting an emergency preparedness education and walkin clinic event from 8 a.m. to noon Sept. 20. Check the JCPH website for more information and a location when it’s determined. at information will also be included in the Je co Transcript newsletter. Sign up is free, do so today.

Horse herd roundup begins

Federal roundup seeks to remove entire wild horse herd in western Colorado

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s rst scheduled wild horse roundup this year is set to begin this month, when federal land managers plan to start removing the entire West Douglas herd in Rio Blanco County along the Utah border.

Starting in September, a lowying helicopter will try to push all 122 horses, which are on public and private land, into temporary corrals before hauling them to

the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s holding pens in Cañon City.

e last roundup of West Douglas horses, in 2021, resulted in the removal of nearly 450 animals from rugged land the BLM has deemed unsuitable for mustangs. About one-third of those horses — 145 of them — died in Cañon City seven months later in an equine u outbreak.

Investigators determined that many of the horses, whose lungs were likely damaged by a wildre when they were living on the rangeland, were not vaccinated against the u after they were captured, in violation of federal policy.

She called the federal plan “especially troubling” since Gov. Jared Polis signed a law this year that attempts to give the state

greater authority over wild horse management, including by supporting fertility control programs and possibly a wild horse sanctuary. e governor, who tried but failed to stop a federal roundup in the Sand Wash Basin in 2021, has said he wants more humane options than helicopter roundups.

Electri cation rebates tend to go fast. (See: “e-bike rebates/crashed servers” in your search bar.) Colorado has $1.8 million for the rst year of the clunkers exchange rebates, and hopes to expand the budget for the next scal year starting in July 2024. Colorado Energy O ce program manager Ed Piersa said the state expects the exchange program to last for years and ramp up nancing if it proves popular.

Let’s jump right to the biggest questions about the clunkers exchange:

Why is Colorado doing this, and whose money is being used?

e Colorado program has a few goals: Promote equity in the electri cation revolution in the state by using an income-quali ed exchange program to make EVs cheaper to more people, while also taking older, higher-emissions fossil fuel cars o the road.

Colorado has pledged to get 940,000 EVs on state roads by 2030, and has also launched various rules and programs to promote environmental justice and economic equity along the way.

e money comes from new fees implemented when the state transportation department’s funding and spending were overhauled in the legislature in 2021.

What quali es me for $6,000 in extra EV rebates?

ere’s a multi-part test for this answer. First, you have to be income-

quali ed, meaning you make less than 80% of the median income in your county, or have already qualied for a government assistance program like Medicaid or SNAP food bene ts.

Second, you have to purchase a new or used EV that costs less than $50,000 from a dealer quali ed to be in the state rebate program. e vehicle must be zero- or ultra-low emissions, meaning a fully electric battery-only EV, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Used EVs get a $4,000 rebate. New car seekers can also get the rebate applied to a lease instead of an outright purchase.  ird, the fossil-fuel powered car you turn in must be fully owned, and either 12 years old (2011 model year for this year’s rebate) or have failed a recent emissions test. It must be running — no “push, pull or tow” for this new program.

How is the $6,000 taken o the price?

By going through a new or used car dealer quali ed through the Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC, because

why not make it more confusing), the $6,000 or $4,000 can be taken o the sale price “at the register,” and the dealer takes care of the paperwork.

State GOP seeks gender care ban

Colorado GOP leaders form committee to support a 2024 ballot measure to ban gendera rming care for kids

BY JESSE PAUL AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams formed an issue committee late last month to support a forthcoming 2024 ballot measure that would ban “child gender reassignment medical procedures” in the state.

Tom Bjorklund, treasurer of the Colorado Republican Party, is listed as the designated ling agent for the committee, called “Let Kids Be Kids.” e group’s address was originally listed as the Colorado GOP’s headquarters in Greenwood Village. It was changed to a post o ce box in Grand Junction, where Bjorklund lives.

Williams on con rmed to e Colorado Sun that he formed the committee.

“ is is an issue that will certainly unite Republicans across Colorado,” Williams told e Sun, “but it’s a separate legal e ort apart from the party.”

e state’s Title Board hasn’t received a proposed 2024 ballot measure to ban medical procedures related to gender-a rming care for

children in Colorado. Williams said the initiative is still in the works.

“We are nalizing language soon and are using other state laws that have recently passed around the country as a framework,” Williams said. He said the de nition of “child gender reassignment medical procedures” is still being ironed out, but said the measure will generally aim to prevent children from receiving medications or surgeries related to gender-a rming care. at mayinclude hormone blockers that prevent teens from going through puberty.

Stopping juveniles from getting gender-a rming surgery or medical treatment has become a focus of Williams and right-wing Republicans across the country. Twenty-one states have banned gender-a rming care for people younger than age 18, according to the Human Rights Campaign. An additional seven states are considering such bans.

Colorado, where Democrats control the legislature and the governor’s o ce, is not among them.

In June, the Colorado GOP sent out an email saying, “Democrats support groomers who ‘teach’ your children about so-called gender a rming care … this is sick and the Colorado Republican Party will speak against it.”

Williams also blasted fellow Republicans who signed onto a May 1 letter asking the Montana House of Representatives, which is controlled by the GOP, to reconsider its decision to prohibit transgender Rep.

Zooey Zephyr from its chamber. Zephyr, a Democrat, was barred from the Montana House in April after refusing to apologize for saying that lawmakers in that state who supported a ban on gender-a rming care for kids would have “blood” on their hands.

Colorado is one of at least eight states that have laws protecting gender-a rming health care.

Rep. Brianne Titone, an Arvada Democrat and the Colorado legislature’s rst transgender lawmaker, was a lead sponsor of Senate Bill 188 this year, which prohibits state courts, law enforcement and regulators from recognizing or participating in out-of-state criminal or civil proceedings around abortions or gender-a rming care.

Titone predicted voters would reject a proposed ban on gendera rming care if it were to end up on the ballot, just as Colorado voters have rejected ballot measures seeking to restrict abortion access.

“ is is abortion 2.0, and (Republicans are) losing on abortion,” she said. “So they’re trying to use this as their rallying call.”

One Colorado, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, said it will oppose Williams’ initiative.

“It would take life-saving medical care away from transgender youth. Colorado is better than this,” said Executive Director Nadine Bridges. “Transgender youth should not

be used for political gain or feeble attempts to seek attention, and we are con dent voters will reject this cynical proposal if it even makes it to the ballot.”

Getting a measure on the statewide ballot isn’t easy.

Williams and Bjorklund would need to get ballot language approved by the state’s Title Board and then gather more than 125,000 signatures from Colorado voters to get their question before voters in 2024.

Most groups pay signature gatherers to get their measure on the ballot, but that can cost well over $1 million — money the Colorado GOP, whose fundraising has been hamstrung, doesn’t have.

Colorado Republicans are in a historic minority in the state legislature and don’t have a reasonable chance at winning back power in the House or Senate until the 2026 election. ere are also no statewide-elected Republicans in Colorado, and the GOP is in a 7-3 minority in the state’s congressional delegation.

Healthier Colorado tracks dental gap

1 million Coloradans lack dental care they need

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Just 49% of Coloradans are able to access the dental care they need, and health advocates say increasing the number of licensed dental therapists — especially in lowincome areas, communities of color, and rural parts of the state — could help ll in the gap.

Kyle Piccola, vice president of communications and advocacy for Healthier Colorado, said dental health is directly linked to overall physical and mental health. When people go for days or weeks with pain in their mouth, it can lead to a cascade of negative impacts.

“ e data is clear. Likely that person is going to miss work, their emotional well-being is going to go down. If you’re a young person,

you’re going to be missing school,” Piccola outlined. “ ere are huge repercussions to not taking care of your oral health.”

More than one million Coloradans lack access to proper dental care,

More than one million Coloradans lack access to proper dental care, and there are more than 100 areas across the state designated as experiencing a Dental Care Health Professional Shortage, according to an analysis by KFF.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Arctic Monkeys at Red Rocks

Back in 2013, England’s Arctic Monkeys looked like they were the last proper rock band around, thanks to the smashing success of “AM,” an album that did all the things a stadium rock record should and did them beautifully. In the two ensuing albums, including’s last year’s beautiful “ e Car,” the group has jettisoned the whole stadium star thing in favor of searching sci- and moody orchestral epics. Doesn’t get more rock star than that.

In support of “ e Car,” Arctic Monkeys are playing Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 18 with Fontaines DC. at was an amazing sentence to write and I hope you take it seriously and get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.

There’s such a thing as trail etiquette

The uppermost switchback on the Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon National Park is eight feet wide. Yet the last time I hiked out, I was stymied by a group of young hikers walking down shoulder to shoulder, tapping on their phones.

Even when I said, “Ahem, excuse me,” I was unceremoniously nudged out of the way — not on the cli side, but still.

It shouldn’t need mentioning, but while walking on a rocky trail where one may fall to one’s death, it is best not to be watching one’s phone. And in case you were wondering, uphill has the right of way.

I am often told that people coming downhill should have the right of way because they might lose control and can’t easily stop. Well, on a shared trail, one should not be losing control, and certainly not on a trail where a fall could lead to dying, as above.

Uphill has the right of way because it is harder to stop and restart while climbing. Yes, some hikers want to stop and rest and that is their prerogative, but if I have my uphill mojo going, I don’t want to stop.

Downhill hikers also have a much wider eld of vision. Climbing up, I usually see only my feet, particularly if I’m wearing a sunhat. Since most injuries occur on the way down a trail, it might behoove one to slow down and pay attention, in any case.

Nor does this apply only to hikers. On a four-wheel drive road, the driver coming down must pull over for the driver coming up.

In mountain biking, uphill has the right of way as well, partly because if the uphill rider has to stop, they will likely be walking up the rest of the hill.

Standing at the top of a steep hill and yelling “Clear!” before bombing down is not su cient. Perhaps that is why more and more trails around Arizona have signs posted warning riders that if they cannot comply with the rules, the routes will be closed to bikes.

Mountain bikes are supposed to yield to hikers, but since I know how hard it is to stop and start on

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

a bike, I usually step out of the way anyway.

Marjorie Woodru

Yet all trail users must yield to horses. I have met horses that freak out upon seeing a piece of blowing paper, so I cannot imagine how they would react to a fast-moving bike.

Regarding those annoying downhill hikers and runners who say they “need” the right of way, I have not done the study, but I would bet they never yield no matter which direction they are heading. ey have important things to do and places to go, and maybe a phone to check.

As absorbing as it is to walk handin-hand with your sweetie, or arms linked with your BFF, you probably would not force people o the sidewalk into tra c just to keep your bestie right there. So why, on a trail, would you force other hikers to give way?

Faster hikers overtaking another party should politely make their presence known. A curt “on your left” as you elbow them out of the way does not su ce. Neither does stepping on their heels until they nally acknowledge you.

Speaking for myself, I often fall into a reverie while hiking, and I do not always notice someone dogging my footsteps. So please say something.

I’ve been startled more than once by a runner brushing against me as they sped past, sometimes on a trail narrow enough that had I stepped (or tripped!) to the side, I would have knocked the runner o the cli .

People are allowed to periodically pause on their treks. I was berated recently because I was standing with my pack facing the trail. I was informed hotly by an approaching runner that he had to slow down to pass me, and next time would I please move out of the way? I did not realize I was upsetting his Best Time Ever.

CLAIRVOYANCE AND COMPASSION

“I believe that everywhere that we’re at has spirits around us all the time,” Welte said. “It’s just that I was able to see them. So when I was 5, 6 years old, I would see the spirits walking up and down my hallway.”

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

On a quiet street corner, a neon sign promises psychic readings, fortunes told for a small fee. Some signs advertise crystals, tarot, reiki or clairvoyance, a never-ending list of tools to peer into the other side.  Denver hosts a wide variety of psychics across the metro area. ough their work is often unseen, each practitioner brings their own set of skills to help give insight to their clients.

Starting out

Littleton-based practitioner Jen Welte grew up in a haunted house. She said her rst connections to the other side were the ghosts that lived in the home with her.

ough Welte had an early connection, it wasn’t until she attended a mediumship development class in 2016 that she began to hone her skills. A friend was going to the class, so Welte tagged along, not knowing what the class was for.

“I was just kind of her wingman because she was nervous to go by herself,” Welte said. “It was a mediumship development class. I had no idea there were classes for stu like this, I didn’t even know that I was a medium at this point. I just thought that I knew things and saw things.”

Mediumship is the practice of enabling communications between the living and the dead. Mediums may have messages conveyed in a variety of ways, such as clairaudience, hearing messages, clairvoyance, seeing messages, or claircognizance, simply knowing the message.

Welte continued to learn, taking classes from another local psychic — Kim Moore — and then a year-long mentorship with another psychic — Anthony Mrocka. Her mentorship occurred in 2020, which gave her the time to focus on developing her skills.

“I mean, the whole country was shut down,” Welte said. “I had no other responsibilities... So I took a year-long mentorship with Anthony. And he really, really helped me to re ne my abilities.”

For Broom eld-based practitioner Andarta, the spiritual path started with tarot card readings as a teenager. She continued to learn, receiving training to become a Reiki Master and becoming a Druid in the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids — a spiritual organization based in England.

Reiki is a form of energy work that facilitates healing. Practitioners guide energy through a client’s body to help them heal.

Andarta’s spiritual and academic paths have been connected, primarily through becoming a Priestess of Avalon.

“I’ve done a lot of studies on more of the Avalon path,” Andarta said. “Because that is not only my spiritual interest, but also my PhD is in medieval literature. What got me into medieval literature to begin with was my interest in the Arthurian legends, and Avalon and, and all of that, so I’ve really sort of crafted a lot of my own classes around that just my own personal studies, both from my academic background as well as my spiritual.”

Lakewood-based practitioner

Lizanne Flynn’s path was shaped by her time volunteering in an animal shelter. After taking several years o from working to raise her children, Flynn wanted to see what returning to work would look like for her. at desire led her to volunteer at Table Mountain Animal Shelter — now known as Foothills Animal Shelter.

“It was a good experience for me,” Flynn said. “What I didn’t expect was that when I went through the doors of the shelter, is that I would start to hear the animals. I would start to feel the animals.”

She would hear animals — par-

ticularly those that had been surrendered — asking for their families and homes.

“It was like there was an extra room and I had been given the keys to the door of that room that I could walk into,” Flynn added. “ ere was this telepathic communication with animals that was available to me, it still feels like that to this day.”

Getting to work

Welte — who started her business online during the pandemic — then applied to work with Discover Your Spiritual Gifts when she saw an opening for a reader.

“It is an amazing little shop,” Welte said. “I really enjoy being able to work there and (meeting) the people that have come in.”

Welte does tarot and psychic readings, but the main focus of her work is mediumship.

“What I want to do the most is be able to deliver to people without a shadow of a doubt information that there is life still beyond this, and that their loved ones are not in some tortured, horrible place there,” Welte said. “ ey’re right there with us.”

As a former college professor, Andarta’s switch to full-time work as a psychic was recent. ough she had been working part-time while teaching, she transitioned out of higher education this summer.

“ e fact that my psychic business is more stable than higher education, I think is a pretty crazy idea for our society,” Andarta said. “Sometimes there’s a struggle of adapting, complete career change is a little scary. And yet, I feel that there is more of a call in our society for alternate spiritual practices, and di erent beliefs, especially earth-based religions.”

Flynn’s work began with animal communication in 2008, but soon after that, she added a physical touch.

Flynn became licensed as a canine massage therapist. Canine massage is similar to massages performed on humans, helping to relieve tight muscles and stress in dogs. Flynn combines the techniques, communicating with the animals as she massages them.

She felt that the universe continued to push her towards new methods, such as Reiki, and incorporating them into her practice.

“ is is such a classic example of the universe going, ‘OK. Here’s your next step. Just go here,’” Flynn added. Her work now includes a wide va-

riety of practices, including animal communication, mediumship, Reiki and more.

As a Master Healer, Flynn resisted the title that goes with her work for a while. However, she came around to it once she realized the value of being a healer.

“ e actual de nition of a healer that I really vibe with is someone who holds space,” Flynn said. “A healer is someone who opens the door, they might turn on the light for you. But they’re not going to necessarily tell you where to look. ey’re not necessarily going to tell you what to do.”

The impact

For Welte, working as a medium has given her an opportunity to connect people, both living and dead.

“I love my work, I love helping people,” Welte said. “My main goal is just to help and let people know that we’re really not alone, that we really are all connected and that we really will get through this a lot easier if we’re just kinder to each other and more loving and more compassionate.”

Welte added that she wants to be a place people can come to heal through her work.

“For me personally, it’s very, very heart-centered,” Welte added. “I will sit there and I will cry with my clients, I will check on my clients, I will bend over backward because it truly comes from a place of love.”

Similarly to Welte, Andarta’s work is geared towards giving clients a space to heal.

“I call them clients, and yet I still see them as souls,” Andarta said. “I have great compassion for people. I think that people really resonate with that, that they know that I am there to try to help them.”

In addition to providing readings, Andarta teaches several classes related to spirituality. Her work as a teacher often means empowering her clients to engage in the services Andarta typically provides without her.

“What happens a lot of the times is that I have clients that work with me for quite a while, and then they’re like ‘Hey, I’m good,’” Andarta said. “I’m like, ‘ en go, go do it (yourself).”

is is not just to keep milking people for money,” Andarta added.

For Flynn, her work gives her an opportunity to give animals a voice, speaking for them and communicating with their owners. She emphasized the importance of simply asking animals what they’re feeling — and listening to what they say.

“Inside my animal communicator, self is going, you could just ask,” Flynn said. “I think (animals) would be happy to tell you, (for example) the life of the bee and how that works.”

While Andarta, Flynn and Welte’s practices di er, they all stressed the same idea — their talents are not unique.

“Every single human who has a physical body on this planet can do the work that I do,” Flynn said. “Absolutely everyone.”

For Andarta, Flynn and Welte, being able to do their work is simply a matter of practice and training.

“I feel like everybody has a connection to the other side, or whatever you want to call it,” Welte said.

“Everybody has a connection to spirit and that we are all connected.”

Andarta’s practices combine both her spiritual and academic background, following the Avalon Path. COURTESY OF ANDARTA.

Statistics show Colorado heating up

Nearly 50% of Denver’s daily record-high temperatures have occurred since 2000

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Early this month, the daily high temperature in Denver irted with a mark not seen so far in 2023: 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

is year could end up being the rst since 2015 without a 100-degree day in the state capital. But the 99-degree high Sept. 1 was still a record for the day — and that is anything but an anomaly in recent years.

Inspired by the recent 99-degree record-breaker, we decided to chart when each of Denver’s 366 daily records for high and low temperatures was set, going back 151 years to when such records began being kept. (366 and not 365 to account for the record readings on leap days.)

e record lows are fairly evenly distributed, with a noted lull in the 1920s, ’30s and early ’40s. But record highs are concentrated in more recent years.

Nearly 50% of Denver’s daily record-high temps — 178 of 366 — have been set since 2000. One-third have been set since 2010, and more than 12% — 46 daily record highs — have been set since 2020.

For comparison, about 19% of Denver’s daily record-low temps have been set since 2000, and

about 4% have occurred since 2020. e early September record temp toppled a mark that stood for only four years. It was the fourth record-high temperature set so far in 2023, to go with ve record-low temperatures. And, despite what has felt like a pretty mild summer in and around Denver, the average daily temperature between June and August actually fell right in line with long-term aver-

ages, ranking it the 80th-coolest summer in 151 years, according to 9News. is story is from e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Help for Colorado parents to pay for preschool

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Starting this fall, Colorado is offering 10 to 15 hours of tuition-free preschool to all 4-year-olds as part of the state’s universal preschool program. More than 40,000 families have already applied, but the application process is still open and will be available throughout the year.

But what if you need more class time for your child than just 10 to 15 hours a week?

ere are several ways to get nancial help for those extra hours. e universal preschool program will pay for up to 30 hours of preschool a week for some children.

ey must be from low-income families and fall into one of the following categories: English language

learner, homeless, in foster care, or have a special education plan. Simply being from a low-income family is not enough to qualify for 30 hours.

We’ve compiled a list of other programs that may help cover extra hours of preschool, including Head Start, the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program, and, for Denver residents, the Denver Preschool Program. Summit County also o ers tuition assistance for preschoolers, through its Summit Pre-K Program, though the application window generally runs from May 1-31.

Military families may be eligible for nancial help through the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood program, which is for families who can’t access military-operated child care programs because of waitlists or the distance from their

homes.

Finally, it’s worth asking your child’s preschool if they o er scholarships or discounts that could help lower the cost of care.

For questions about universal preschool or adding extra hours, contact the universal preschool help desk at 303-866-5223 or the local group in your county that is helping run universal preschool.

Here’s a quick look at some of the programs that can be combined with universal preschool to provide students with full-day classes.

What is it: A state program that helps low-income families pay for child care, including preschool. Parents must be working, looking for work, or attending school.

Who’s eligible: Families whose children are citizens or legal perma-

nent residents and whose household income is 200% to 270% of the federal poverty line. at’s $60,000 to $81,000 for a family of four. Each county sets its own income criteria, so check here for details based on where you live.

Financial aid: CCCAP covers most of the cost of child care for qualifying families, with the amount varying based on how much care a child needs above their universal preschool hours. Families who qualify also have to pay a parent fee — a co-pay that varies based on income, family size, and the number of children in child care.

How to apply: Online in English or Spanish, or contact your county’s department of human services.

What to know about combining with universal preschool: Only some preschools participate in the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program. Ask the universal preschool provider you selected if they take CCCAP, or nd the provider name in the universal preschool application and click on the “View More Information” link. A pop-up box will tell you more about the provider, including if they take CCCAP or o er other nancial help.

Some families who qualify for CCCAP may not receive assistance because of funding shortfalls — particularly once federal COVID stimulus dollars run out in 2024.

What is it: A Denver program that provides sliding-scale tuition help for 4-year-olds in preschool regardless of family income.

Who’s eligible: Denver residents who have 4-year-old children attending preschool regardless of immigration status.

Financial aid: Tuition credits range from $36 to $1,227 a month for up to 12 months, and are paid to the school on the family’s behalf. Use the Denver Preschool Program’s tuition credit calculator to estimate your monthly tuition credit. Credits are based on family size, income, and the quality of the preschool selected.

How to apply: Online any time in English or Spanish, or contact the Denver Preschool Program at (303) 595-4377 or info@dpp.org. Applications in PDF form are available in Chinese/Mandarin, French, Russian, Vietnamese, Somali, Amharic, and Nepali.

What to know about combining

with universal preschool: Apply to universal preschool rst and once your child is enrolled in a preschool, apply to the Denver Preschool Program. is is necessary because the Denver Preschool Program application requires that families list the preschool their child is attending. Most Denver preschools participating in universal preschool also participate in the Denver Preschool Program, but there are a few that don’t. Check here to nd preschools participating in the Denver Preschool Program.

What is it: A federally funded program that provides free preschool, health services, and family support to children from low-income families, regardless of immigration status.

Who’s eligible: Children who are 3 to 5 years old in families with a household income at or below the federal poverty guideline. at’s $30,000 a year for a family of 4. Children who are homeless, in foster care, or whose families receive public assistance are also eligible regardless of income.

Financial aid: Head Start is a free preschool program that provides part-time or full-time hours to the children it serves.

How to apply: Search here for providers near you and contact the center directly to apply. For help nding a Head Start provider, call 866-763-6481.

Almost bilked

Iadmit it. I got scammed, and it nearly cost me my life savings.

When I look back at it, I’m aghast I fell for it. Yet I don’t feel stupid or ashamed. Rather, I feel intense anger at cretinous creatures that nefariously engage in bilking people out of their honestly earned life savings. I’ve dubbed and henceforth shall refer to them as Malwarians.

It began when researching information for a piece I was composing. Just as I clicked on what I had thought was a safe site, a red screen took over my monitor. It read something to the e ect that my computer had been infected and was locked. I couldn’t manipulate the cursor with my mouse. I was at a loss about what to do and began to panic. But the message also read to call a certain toll-free number for Microsoft. e Malwarian that took the call sounded professional and empathetic. It said Microsoft was seeing a rash of hacking and that it would call me back on a “secure line.” I got a call from a number with an area code that indicated it was close to

JERRY FABYANIC Columnist

MS corporate headquarters. (I learned later that scammers can use bogus numbers to conceal their real location. Seriously, phone companies?) e Malwarian convinced me that they were a MS representative. I allowed them to access my computer to trace the source of the infection and with that, I descended into tech hell.

e next morning, the Malwarian called and said they had detected something disconcerting. ey said they had tracked three sales transactions from Russia charged to one of my accounts. My panic heightened, but the Malwarian assured me that they would get me in contact with a fraud specialist from the institution, and with that I entered a deeper cavern of tech hell.

I’ll skip over the murky details from that point forward, but it su ces to say the Malwarians really got into

my head. I cannot overstate how malevolently adept they are at their dastardly machinations. ey’re well trained in human psychology, and quite e ective at playing good cop, bad cop. I trusted them similar to how in the Stockholm Syndrome a victim trusts the person who took them prisoner. But still, it took the right set of circumstances for their tactics to work, and their ploy coincided with a time when I was emotionally depleted.

I’m sure many can identify with the year-from-hell description for a grueling stretch in their lives. e rst six and a half months of 2023 was mine. By mid-July, I’d morphed into an emotional zombie. I became fatalistic, convinced another painful event was around the corner. “What’s next?” became my mantra. Rationally, I was functional, but my natural guards had atrophied.

In the end, two interventions saved me: my bank and a friend to whom I nally opened up. My bank intervened not once but twice when I attempted to wire large amounts of money to a fraudulent account.

e rst time, their fraud specialists canceled the transaction outright, and the second time they put it on hold. When I spoke with them, they made it clear: Once the funds were sent, they couldn’t be recouped.

at second intervention gave me a reprieve. Slowly I began coming to my senses.

I’m no expert on fraud prevention, but I am about knowing what it’s like to be a victim. It’s a most unpleasant feeling, but it was one from which I learned a few hard lessons. Given that, allow me to suggest a baker’s dozen of to-do’s and not-to-do’s.

Preventive:

If you haven’t yet, freeze your credit reports with all three agencies.

If not a member of LifeLock, seriously consider becoming one. Have a discussion with your banker and other nancial institutions about their fraud protocols.

If you haven’t had your computer scanned recently for viruses and other forms of malware, get it done. Activate two-step veri cation for all of your accounts including email logins.

Become more educated about the ever-evolving and increasingly sophisticated tactics of Malwarians.

In the event of an attack:

Skip the usual shutdown process and immediately power your computer down.

Contact your computer pro and your nancial institutions ASAP.

File a report with the FBI on their Internet Crime Complaint Center site: https://www.ic3.gov/

Never:

My friend’s immediate response after hearing and seeing what was happening was “shut it down,” meaning my computer. I called LifeLock, and from another computer I logged onto the three credit agencies and froze my accounts. I then changed passwords and set up two-step veri cation wherever I could. e next morning, I drove to my nancial institutions, closed my accounts, and opened new ones. Finally, I took my computer to the Geek Squad to have it scrubbed.

ey found a virus despite the antivirus protection I paid for.

On the heels of my travails was a news report of multiple seniors in Douglas County who were similarly accosted. Two di erences between their experiences and mine were that theirs were local and in person — Malwarians actually went to their houses — and sadly they lost huge amounts of money.

Allow any unknown party access to your computer.

Further, if you’ve been or become a victim, don’t feel ashamed. Talk about it. Speak out as I am. As friends and family can attest to, I’m a hardnosed skeptic when interacting with unknowns. Yet I bit. But I’ve discovered that others far more tech-savvy than me have likewise fallen victim. We’re far from alone.

Sadly, a brutal reality of this supertech age is that scammers are not necessarily hustling you upfront. ey’re lurking in the cesspools of the Dark Web waiting to slither into and infect your tech body. And they’re spawning.

Consider all the personal stu you store on and use your computer for.

State reps agree to open meetings deal

Settlement reached in lawsuit alleging ‘pervasive’ violations of open meetings laws

BY JESSE PAUL AND ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

A settlement has been reached in the unusual lawsuit led this summer by two Democratic state representatives alleging “pervasive” violations of the state’s open meetings laws by members of the Colorado House.

State Reps. Elisabeth Epps of Denver and Bob Marshall of Highlands Ranch o ered in early September to enter into a courtenforced deal, known as a consent decree, with the Colorado House of Representatives, the chamber’s Democratic and Republican caucuses and partisan leadership in the chamber.

As part of the settlement, which must be approved by a judge, the defendants agreed to not discuss public business or take a “formal action” during a meeting where a quorum of a state body is expected to be in attendance without rst providing public notice of the gathering and promptly making minutes of the meeting publicly available.

Also, two or more members of the House “shall not discuss public business through any electronic means (including, without limitation, any instant messaging platform or application) unless written minutes of such meetings are made publicly available upon request.”

ose minutes would have to be released under the Colorado Open Records Act.

Finally, the defendants agreed to pay the lawyer representing Epps and Marshall $13,000 within 45 days to cover his fees. Taxpayers would be on the hook for the sum.

“ e settlement of this dispute does not establish wrongdoing by

any party,” the agreement says.  Epps and Marshall led their lawsuit in July, alleging that Colorado House Democrats’ near-weekly caucus meetings, during which pending legislation is discussed, should be publicly noticed and that meeting minutes be recorded and o ered to the public. e lawsuit claimed members of the House Democratic caucus “directed legislative aides to omit or disguise these mandatory meetings from representatives’ calendars.”

e lawsuit also argued that House Democrats’ use of Signal, an encrypted smartphone messaging system in which messages can be automatically deleted, also violates the state’s open meeting and public records laws. According to the legal action, representatives used Signal to discuss witness testimony and how each lawmaker would vote on bills.

e legal action argued that House Republicans have violated open meetings laws, too, through their regular caucus meetings and communications on Signal.

Lawmakers’ use of Signal, which was rst released in 2014, has become more widespread over the past two or three years.

e lawsuit was highly unusual since Epps and Marshall sued their own caucus and its top leaders, House Speaker Julie McCluskie and House Majority Leader Monica Duran. It heightened tensions in the House Democratic caucus that built through the 2023 legislative session.

During the nal day of the term, during a meeting of the House Democratic caucus, Epps directly criticized McCluskie’s leadership, saying she had been too lenient with Republicans and had al-

lowed last-minute bills to be forced through by Democrats.

“You asked to do this,” Epps said. “I’m asking you to do much, much more.”

McCluskie, of Dillon, and Duran, of Wheat Ridge, said in a joint statement that Colorado House Democrats “believe deeply in the values of transparency and open government.”

“ rough this agreement, we continue our commitment to ensuring full public access, transparency and fairness in the legislative process,” the statement said.

e consent decree, if approved by a judge, would also apply to House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, R-Wellington, and the chamber’s GOP caucus.

Marshall, in an interview with e Colorado Sun, celebrated the agreement.

“It’s going to get us where we need to go, I hope,” he said.

Marshall said the next step is pursuing a bill aimed at modernizing Colorado’s open meetings and public records laws. e consent decree says the agreement would be in e ect until the laws are amended, hinting that changes are coming.

If a judge signs o on the consent decree, the agreement would be enforceable by the courts.

Golden stuns No. 4 Ponderosa at NAAC

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Golden scored 25 unanswered points late Friday afternoon at the North Area Athletic Complex to shock previously undefeated Ponderosa.

“We talked about ghting through some adversity,” Golden coach Matt McDougal said after the 25-14 victory. “ at beginning of the game is exactly what happened to us last year (versus Ponderosa). A lot of credit to the kids for hanging in there.”

e Mustangs (2-1 record) — ranked No. 4 in the Select Media Football Poll this week — took an early 14-0 lead in the rst quarter with an opening 80-yard touchdown drive capped o with an 11-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Marcus Price to junior Max Mervin.

ree plays later senior Cayden

Bille returned an interception back for a pick-6 to give Ponderosa a 14-0 lead with 5:57 left in the rst quarter. However, it was all Golden (2-1) from there on out. e Demons to their rst score with a 3-yard touchdown run by senior Luc Chevalier with 4:04 left in the rst half. Ponderosa turned the ball over on downs on the next drive and Chevalier kicked a 29-yard eld goal with 11.3 seconds before halftime to cut the lead to 14-10.

Golden’s defensive forced four Ponderosa turnovers in the second half, which included a pair of interceptions by senior Jonathan Wheeler that led directly to scores.

“We have been emphasizing getting turnovers and stu like that,” McDougal said. “We are nally starting to get some of them. ose are huge when your o ensive is struggling a little bit. You need to get turnovers.”

Wheeler’s rst pick gave the De-

mons the ball on Ponderosa’s 5-yard line with 6:49 left in the third quarter. Chevalier scored his second touchdown to give the Demons their rst lead of 18-14.

Wheeler intercepted Price again midway through the fourth quarter and took it 35 yards to the end zone to push the lead to 25-14.

“We knew coming in that (Ponderosa) was going to take shots and throw the ball,” Wheeler said. “We knew the best way to win this game was force turnovers. I can only thank my defensive linemen and linebackers for getting pressure on the quarterback on that pick-6.”

Ponderosa drove inside Golden’s 20-yard line on the next drive, but junior Noah Limback got into the takeaway game. e two-way interior lineman chased down Ponderosa backup quarterback Aurelio Marchiol, stripped the ball and then Limback jumped on the loose ball.

“Coming into that play I knew we needed a stop to seal the game,” Limback said. “Everyone was giving all of their e ort. We needed to make something happen.”

Limback had a number of tackles in the inside as the Demons were able to

prevent Ponderosa from getting any kind of running game going.

“He (Limback) is playing both ways and a little bit of special teams still,” McDougal said of his two-way inside defensive/o ensive lineman. “He is just a straight-e ort kid.”

e win was the second straight for Golden after a disappointing 36-0 loss to Class 3A’s Green Mountain in Week 1.

“Going into Green Mountain I think we were a little cocky thinking they were a 3A team. ey are a good team. Green Mountain has size and skill,” Wheeler said of the shutout loss to the Rams. “Silver Creek win was a little bounce back, but Pondo is dangerous. We bowed up in practice and did our jobs. We were ready to roll.”

Golden will roll over to All-City Stadium next Friday night to face Denver South (2-1).

“We have great kids and they play hard,” McDougal said. “ ey aren’t the biggest kids. ey aren’t the strongest kids, but they give 100 percent e ort.”

Testing their metal: Orediggers topple Lakers with last-second field goal

Mines football defeats

Grand Valley State 31-28 in season opener

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hunter Pearson’s road to joining the Colorado School of Mines football team was unusual to say the least.

Pearson was a kicker at the University of Virginia from 20182022, and — because of continual injuries and surgeries — he only played in two games for the Cavaliers.

While he had an additional year of eligibility because of COVID-19, he was in the workforce for a year in Denver. As he looked to pursue a master’s degree in computer science, Mines seemed like the obvious choice thanks to its proximity and strong academic reputation.

So, the Seneca, South Carolina native decided to use his nal year of eligibility to join the Orediggers for the 2023 season.

“It’s a very random chain of events that lead to me being here, at this school right now,” Pearson said. “I’m happy it happened.”

And, no doubt, Mines football fans are too.

Pearson made the game-winning eld goal against No. 3 Grand Valley State Aug. 31, securing a 31-28 home win for No. 2 Mines.

Pearson’s previous longest make in collegiate football was 29 yards in 2018. On Aug. 31, he made the 41-yard attempt into the wind.

“I trust my snapper; I trust my holder; I trust the (o ensive) line,” Pearson continued. “I just went out there and kicked it like I kicked the PATs earlier in the game.”

While the Aug. 31 season opener was billed as a battle of Top 10 titans, by the end of the third quarter, the Orediggers had a 28-7 lead and looked like they could easily put it away.

However, the Lakers had a monster fourth quarter with two unan-

swered touchdowns, a successful onside kick and a tying touchdown with 36 seconds left.

e Mines o ense ew down the eld to get in eld goal range, and with less than six seconds left, Pearson sent the ball sailing through the uprights.

“If you’re going to kick the gamewinning eld goal,” Pearson said, “that’s the best situation to be in — where it’s tied, where there’s a little bit less pressure. … You’re not down. It’s not sudden death.”

e Lakers had one nal chance with two seconds left, playing hot potato in the back eld until Mines senior defensive end Jack Peterson fell on the ball and ended the game.

“I just sat there for a second and appreciated that we won,” Peterson said. “ … While it probably wasn’t our best game, I was really happy

with the way we nished. If we can just carry that through the season, I think we’ll be great.”

e Orediggers’ next game will be Sept. 9 at No. 5 Angelo State. It’ll be the teams’ fourth matchup in three seasons, as they played each other twice last year.

Pete Sterbick, Mines’ rst-year head coach, was very proud of the Orediggers’ e orts against the Lakers and hoped to build o that momentum in San Angelo, Texas.

“Our guys absolutely don’t give up hope,” Sterbick said. “ … We didn’t play good team football, which is a huge emphasis for us. But we were able to rise up and nd a way.”

Until the final whistle

Despite the repower on both teams, the rst half was fairly defensive and low-scoring. e

Lakers drew rst blood, scoring a touchdown on their rst drive. e Orediggers answered on their second drive of the game, and the rst quarter ended tied at 7.

Both teams went on a scoring drought until the very end of the half, when Mines senior running back Noah Roper — an Erie, Colorado native and Dartmouth transfer — ipped over a GVSU defender to score his second touchdown of the game.

Starting the third quarter up 14-7, the Orediggers found a good rhythm on both sides of the ball.

e defense stopped three GVSU drives in succinct fashion, while the o ense scored two more touchdowns thanks to senior quarterback John Matocha and sophomore running back Landon Walker.

As the fourth quarter started, Oredigger fans likely believed their team would get a comfortable W against a Top 10 team. But the Lakers weren’t going to leave Golden without a ght, and time was on their side.

e fourth quarter — except for the nal 36 seconds — were all Grand Valley State.

e Lakers forced three-and-outs on three Oredigger drives, and scored their second unanswered touchdown with 1:17 remaining. Down 28-21, the Lakers’ onside kick was successful, and they drove 35 yards in ve plays to tie the game at 28.

Sterbick was surprised GVSU didn’t opt for a two-point conversion; and with the game tied, the Orediggers debated whether to push for a win or wait until overtime.

ey chose the former, with Sterbick noting how much the Mines defense had played in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the Mines offense had just reviewed their similar drive last year at GVSU, which ultimately failed. While it was coincidental, Sterbick said examining it helped Matocha and the o ense execute this time around.

“I don’t like that we put ourselves in that situation in the rst place,” he said. “ … I think we kept putting (our defense) back out there too quick. … Your o ense has to help your defense out when that’s happening.”

Peterson also believed the Orediggers came of halftime a little at, adding, “I thought we had already put them away when we hadn’t. ere was still a lot of time left on the clock.”

Peterson and Sterbick also com-

mended GVSU for its solid play, with Sterbick saying its defense is probably the best Mines will play in the regular season — except for maybe Angelo State.

Among the highlights for the Orediggers, Sterbick commended Roper, Walker and Matocha for their strong o ensive performances. He also highlighted Nick Stone, a redshirt freshman wide receiver, who’s stepping into Mason Karp’s slot from last season.

And, nally, Sterbick praised Pearson, senior punter Jacob Click, and the other special teams players. e kickers had nalized their lineups the day before the game, and Sterbick told them in the team meeting, “I want you guys to be a weapon for us.”

The beginning of the end

Peterson and Pearson were both excited to start their nal football season with such a memorable win, with Peterson saying he’s cherishing these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

e Orediggers will have at least 19 departing seniors, most of whom are fth- and sixth-year players using their extra year of eligibility.

Peterson believed the Nov. 4 Senior Day game against New Mexico Highlands would be one to remember.

“It’s always been sentimental saying goodbye to all the seniors before me,” he continued. “It’ll be interesting to see what it’s actually like as a senior now.”

While this year will be his only one at Mines, Pearson was thankful to have joined such a “self-driven” team.

“ e program’s awesome,” Pearson said. “ … ey were in the national championship last year, and the goal is to go back and win that. We take it one game at a time, though. We’re just worried about next week.”

Public Notice

STATE OF COLORADO, JEFFERSON COUNTY, CITY OF ARVADA

NOTICE OF INTENT TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS

2017C Bonds through the issuance of its Series 2023 Refunding Bonds.

In 2017, the District issued its General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017A (the “Series 2017A Bonds”), General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017B (the “Series 2017B Bonds”) and General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017C (together the “2017 Bonds”) in the combined par amount of $6,500,000, for the purpose of paying for the costs of Public Improvements needed to support the Leyden Ranch development.

As of June 30, 2023, the Series 2017A Bonds are currently outstanding in the principal amount of $4,730,000 (plus approximately $19,527.67 accrued interest) and bear interest at a rate of 5.125%; the Series 2017B Bonds are currently outstanding in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (plus approximately $512,345.00 accrued interest) and bear interest at a rate of 7.000%; and the Series 2017C Bonds are currently outstanding in the principal amount of $600,000 (plus approximately $536,744 accrued interest) and bear interest at a rate of 11.000%.

The District’s resident controlled Board has evaluated, analyzed and determined that refinancing the 2017 Bonds through the issuance of its Series 2023 Refunding Bonds (the “2023 Refunding Bonds”) is in the best interest of the District residents and property taxpayers and refinancing will achieve the following cost savings: (1) substantially lower the overall debt interest rate to an anticipated 5.65% (the final interest rate to be determined in conjunction with pricing and closing); (2) a projected debt service saving of over $5,200,000 with a present value savings for the District’s residents and taxpayers in the amount of $1,709,000 (a projected savings of 27% of the refunded 2017 Bonds); and (3) allow for a substantial reduction in the debt service mill levy imposed by the District from its current level of 45.004 mills down to an estimated and projected 33.500 mills.

The District intends to refinance its Series 2017 Bonds through the issuance of its Series 2023 Refunding Bonds at a principal amount not to exceed $7,500,000 so long as the refinancing enables the District to lower its current mill levy rate and achieves a net present value savings of at least 3%.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that, pursuant to and in accordance with § 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S., any action to enjoin such proposed issuance of the Series 2023 Refunding Bonds as a material departure from the Service Plan must be brought within forty-five (45) days from publication of this Notice, which deadline is October 29, 2023.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the resident controlled Board of Directors of the Leyden Ranch Metropolitan District, City of Arvada, Jefferson County, Colorado authorized this Notice to be given.

SUMMONS FOR: ALLOCATION OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITES

To the Respondent named above this Summons serves as a notice to appear in this case.

If you were served in the State of Colorado, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 21 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

If you were served outside of the State of Colorado or you were served by publication, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 35 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

You may be required to pay a filing fee with your Response. The Response form (JDF 1420) can be found at www.courts.state.co.us by clicking on the “Self Help/Forms” tab.

The Petition requests that the Court enter a Order addressing issues involving the children such as, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities, (decision-making and parenting time), attorney fees, and costs to the extent the Court has jurisdiction.

Notice: Colorado Revised Statutes §14-10123, provides that upon the filing of a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities by the Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, or upon personal service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against both parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S.

A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Automatic Temporary Injunction – By Order of Colorado law, you and the other parties:

1. Are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and

2. Are restrained from removing the minor child(ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and

3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child(ren) as a beneficiary of a policy.

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.
