individual. He has steady employment through his family’s company and was deemed low risk in his pre-sentencing report, she noted. However, she was concerned that he had driving away from the scene while intoxicated, adding, “There was no attempt to render aid or anything of that nature.” Thus, she sentenced him to 60 days in jail, allowing for a work release. During his 18 months of probation, he must complete 96 hours of useful community service and the recommended substance evaluation and treatment. He also cannot consume any drugs or alcohol, and will be monitored for sobriety as necessary.

Ernesto Avila, 26, has been sentenced to 60 days in jail and 18 months of probation for his role in last October’s incident at The Rock Rest Lodge. On Oct. 9, 2022, Ruben Marquez drove Avila’s truck into a crowd gathered outside the Rock Rest. Adrian Ponce, 26, was killed; two Rock Rest employees and one patron were severely injured; and others at the scene sustained minor injuries. Marquez, 30, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, three counts of vehicular assault and one count of attempted seconddegree assault. He was recently sentenced to 30 years in prison. Meanwhile, Avila — Marquez’s cousin who was driving when police pulled the vehicle over shortly after the incident — was originally charged with felony accessory. On Aug. 15, he pleaded guilty to three

misdemeanor counts, including driving under the influence. During Avila’s Oct. 13 sentencing hearing, prosecutors asked Judge Lindsay VanGilder for a yearlong jail sentence. While they acknowledged Avila wasn’t responsible for

Marquez’s actions of driving the truck into the crowd, they stressed that Avila still fled the scene by driving while intoxicated. Robert Fulcomer, a Rock Rest employee who was seriously injured, stated in a letter how he’s still recovering from the physical and emotional toll Oct. 9, 2022 has had on him. He recalled talking to Ponce in the parking lot, when they were hit from behind by the truck. He said that horrific moment has lingered in his mind this past year. However, he said he’s received a lot of support since then, and thanked everyone “who’s been here for me this last year.” Ponce’s wife, Ashlie Pena,felt that Avila should serve some time in jail for his role in the Oct. 9, 2022 incident. Avila’s defense attorney stressed how his client didn’t have any previous criminal history, and felt that probation would be an appropriate sentence for anyone charged with the same misdemeanor counts. VanGilder said she received about 17 character letters on Avila’s behalf, with his friends and family members describing him as a hard-working and dedicated

As VanGilder summarized, Avila drove Marquez and another cousin to the Rock Rest on Oct. 8. As the bar was closing around 1:30 a.m. Oct. 9, their group was approached by Ponce’s group, and the verbal confrontation escalated to a physical fight in the parking lot. Avila’s truck was parked outside the Rock Rest, on roughly the southeast side of the building. Avila reportedly got into the truck, but it wouldn’t start. He left the keys inside, based on what he told investigators, and exited the vehicle. Shortly after, Marquez got behind the wheel and drove the truck into the crowd, while Avila was in the passenger seat. The truck initially left the property but circled back, when Marquez and Avila exited the vehicle and switched sides, VanGilder said. Avila was behind the wheel when law enforcement pulled the truck over a few blocks away from the Rock Rest. After almost a year of emotional and stressful proceedings, VanGilder hoped Marquez’s and Avila’s sentencings would help bring all those impacted some amount of closure and healing. “There’s not really anything a court can do on these types of cases, to take away the pain and hurt that people have experienced,” VanGilder said at Avila’s Oct. 13 sentencing. “ … I wish you all healing as you move forward.”

Electronic Signatures Are Common Now in Real Estate — At Least Until Closing

You have probably heard of eSignatures — signatures which are inserted by clicking on a link. The contracts from CTM eContracts used by most Denver agents include eSignatures. DocuSign is another such product. If you do a web search for “esignatures,” you’ll find many other companies competing to offer that service. Electronic signatures were legalized by Congress in 2000 with the E-Sign Act. It was over a decade, however, before CTM adopted the process, and I was slow to adopt it, insisting that buyers and sellers at least use their finger or stylus to hand-draw their signature, something that is still allowed as an alternative to clicking on a font signature. I relented when I realized that the

contracts being signed electronically only get buyers and sellers to the closing table, where every document must be signed on paper in front of a Notary, who verifies the identity of the signers. If there was any unauthorized signing of the contracts, it would come out then. (It should be noted that, thanks to Covid restrictions, the ability to sign in front of a Notary remotely with video of the buyer and/or seller and photos of their IDs became somewhat common and is still used, for example, when the person is sick or can’t be reached by a mobile Notary.) In over a decade of agents signing real estate contracts electronically, I still have not heard of any problem arising therefrom. It should be noted that each

Real Estate Market Saw Shifts and Opportunities in September As we stepped into the final quarter of 2023, the metro Denver real estate market showed an intriguing landscape, offering fresh opportunities for both buyers and sellers. This September, real estate professionals observed a market reminiscent of the ebb and flow during the 2013-2019 period, with a few noteworthy differences. Despite high interest rates, the market presented a remarkable opportunity for buyers, especially those who could pay cash. The market is currently favoring those who were previously outbid in recent years, and move-up homebuyers may want to act, as the market shifts to their advantage. One standout trend in recent transactions is the prevalence of concessions. Nearly 60% of closed deals in September featured concessions averaging just over $9,000. Notably, 45% of these concessions were directed towards buying down the buyer’s mortgage interest rate, presenting a mutually beneficial situation for both parties.

In two of my recent closings on listings, the buyers submitted contracts with a 5-figure seller concession to fund such an interest-rate buydown. Here’s something to keep in mind: if there is a seller concession, get both agents in the transaction to agree that their commission is based on the net purchase price, not the contract purchase price. Sellers in today's market aren't merely motivated by desire; many have to sell. This willingness to negotiate is affecting market dynamics, offering opportunities for savvy buyers to secure advantageous deals. While key metrics like months of inventory, days on market and pricing trends remain stable, the market has shrunk, with fewer homes for sale. Approximately 25% of contracts are falling, and price reductions are both more frequent and larger than in previous cycles. My thanks to Megan Aller of First American Title for doing the statistical analysis reflected in this article.

CTM contract comes with a certificate indicating the IP address of each signer and the precise time they signed. These are available on the software but are rarely printed out, because they are only needed in case of a dispute — which I haven’t seen. With almost 22 years as a licensed real estate agent, I’m somewhat new. By the time I was licensed in March 2002, the MLS was already on the internet, although some agents accessed it by dial-up instead of broadbad connection. Many “old-timers” were still using the big printed MLS books, which weren’t discontinued for another few years — to much objection by some. In 2022 the various contracts and disclosure documents were prepared by hand or by typewriter on carbonless 4part NCR forms. We hand delivered these forms and any resulting offers to our buyers and sellers. A year or two later we got the first forms on a CD which was passed around so we could create the documents on a computer and email them to clients. But we still had to print them out for signing by hand. A lot has changed, but online electronic contracts and e-signatures have to be the most important, although the advances in web-based MLS services comes in a close second. Here’s something you need to know. If you write an email agreeing to do something and it has your typed name

(or email signature) on it, the E-Sign Act says that you have in effect signed a contract that can be enforced by the recipient. Be careful what you write! We real estate professionals still find ourselves doing a lot of our work inperson — especially with buyers, showing them homes — but the ability to write a contract for a buyer or seller on our laptop, often in their presence, has accelerated the pace of real estate in ways that benefit our clients as well as ourselves. Remember that the iPhone was introduced in July 2007 — coincidentally, the same month that I founded Golden Real Estate — at a time when the Blackberry was state-of-the-art. The tech tools that followed that introduction, including “apps” — a word that didn’t exist before then — have revolutionized the practice of real estate, as it has every other industry.

Golden saw compliance issues along Clear Creek this summer City staff recommends modifying whitewater park beach to deter ‘party-like atmosphere’ BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While Golden has made progress on improving Clear Creek user experience and safety, lessening corridor congestion and mitigating impacts, city staff members said there’s still a long way to go. Summer 2023 was a weird one, as peak tubing season started later than usual and only lasted five weeks. Still, Clear Creek was plenty busy, and Golden was able to gauge how well its new measures worked this summer, Deputy City Manager Carly Lorentz said at the Oct. 10 City Council meeting. “We’re making some progress,” Lorentz continued, “and we’re feeling some momentum on better managing the creek.”

Tubers float along Clear Creek near the Ford Street bridge and Vanover Park Aug. 30. The City of Golden has been working to mitigate tubing impacts while improving FILE PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN users’ experiences on and around the creek.

While some measures seemed effective, Lorentz said there were major problems with compliance across the board — from parking to alcohol. Despite the shorter season, Lorentz said Golden issued the same number of citations as previous years.

One problem area is the Clear Creek Whitewater Park beach, and Lorentz recommended modifying the area so it’d be “less conducive for party-like atmospheres” but still be a fun play area for children and families. She proposed a $100,000 project

ahead of summer 2024. While no final decisions were made, the councilors seemed split on the topic. Some saw a need to redesign the beach to indicate its best uses, and help reduce trash and other impacts at the site; while others thought the money could be better spent elsewhere. In tracking its creek-related expenditures, Golden spent about $334,000 before and during summer 2023, and Lorentz said staff ’s proposing about $842,000 for summer 2024. This includes several oneoff projects, such as modifying the beach and widening the north path near Clear Creek RV Park. She also said the idea of a reservation system for tubers keeps popping up during staff discussions, and said council might consider implementing it for summer 2025. No decision was made, but some councilors said it might be worth trying. They wanted more data on creek usage and community input first, though. “The reservation system, it’s such SEE CLEAR CREEK, P5

Summer 2023 recap

FROM PAGE 4

an essential thing to talk about,” Councilor Casey Brown said. “It’s really hard, but if the community really wants us to be firmly limiting the number (of tubers), I think that’s the only way to do it.” Goldenite Carl Dowdy said during public comment how he opposed a reservation system as it would limit access to a public waterway. He’s been tubing on the creek for 20 years and enjoys going on a whim, which a reservation system would prevent. He felt it made “more sense to regulate the crowds through parking,” a sentiment that Councilor Don Cameron later echoed. “I would consider looking at no free parking for the summer,” Cameron said, adding how it’d create more turnover among parking spaces, and how Golden should be willing to try different approaches. “ … We don’t have to fix it and say: ‘This is the way it’s going to be forever.’ … What we’re doing isn’t working, and I think we need to change some things up.”

This summer, Golden implemented a new tracking system with RFIDenabled stickers, which would collect data on how many total tubers were visiting the creek and how many people were bringing their own tubes versus renting them. While there were a few hiccups, Lorentz felt the city has good data to use going forward. Regarding communications, she said Golden had increased bilingual resources this year, such as creek maps and pamphlets. However, city staff members on the creek “saw more need than we were able to address,” and she recommended Golden have even more bilingual resources in 2024. With parking, Lorentz described how compliance is staggeringly low, even though the city increased parking fines along 10th Street to $100 this summer. The city had an 87% increase in parking citations, she said, adding, “We were enforcing a lot, but it feels never-ending. We would rather see compliance than additional fines.” For overall enforcement, Lorentz said Golden still had some staffing issues, but remained steady in its ability to enforce throughout the

summer. At the beginning of the season, staff was reporting how citations were down from 2022. However, she described, by the end of the summer they were about even with last summer’s, despite this year’s shorter tubing season. “We saw more violations as the season went on with alcohol and other things,” Lorentz continued. Along with modifying the beach, she also suggested the city put up gates at creek access points during high-impact weekends. They wouldn’t be to limit access to the creek, but to reduce alcohol-related issues and deter “partying type of activities,” she explained. This summer, Golden started corridor clean-ups on Monday mornings, which drew a lot of local participation. Lorentz said it was well-received, and the city wants to expand it further for 2024, saying, “We still saw litter problems even though we were cleaning up a lot.” During public comment, outfitters Beth and Mitch Battilla of Adventure West said they participated in the Monday morning clean-ups, as well as cleaning Vanover Park on their own. Mitch described how many locals solely blame tubers for the litter,

but he believed park users and others in the area are also responsible. Additionally, they emphasized how there were no deaths on the creek this summer, either in city limits or in Clear Creek Canyon. Along with Lorentz, they attributed this to increased education by outfitters and others. They also appreciated the widened paths and new wayfinding signage, along with the expanded shuttle service for any interested tubers. Because the highest river use is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mitch recommended that those wanting to walk or bike along the creek avoid that timeframe. Between this and the other measures, he hoped this would decrease user conflicts in the corridor. Brown suggested doing a safety video for cyclists, just like Golden and Jefferson County Open Space did this year for tubers. The video could stress best practices and compliance among cyclists, he said. Brown and other officials invited the public to hear more about the topic at the next Coffee with Councilors meeting, where Lorentz will give a creek update for attendees. The event will be at 10 a.m. Nov. 4 at the Golden Community Center.

Jeffco school board candidates address district’s critical needs BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers The Colorado Public Utilities Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $30.50 per month and business services are $43.50 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request. CenturyLink participates in the Lifeline program, which makes residential telephone or qualifying broadband service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers may qualify for Lifeline discounts of $5.25/month for voice or bundled voice service or $9.25/month for qualifying broadband or broadband bundles. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or qualifying broadband service per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload to qualify. CenturyLink also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households with a discount on broadband service. The ACP provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. For both programs, a household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Services are not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in these programs. Consumers who willfully make false statements to obtain these discounts can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from these programs.

With ballots set to hit Jefferson County mailboxes soon, the five candidates running for two open school board seats are busy letting the public know where they stand on the district’s critical issues, like declining enrollment, teacher pay, student achievement and budget shortfalls. Michelle Applegate and Thomas Wicke are vying for the District 3 seat, which covers portions of Wheat Ridge, Arvada and northern Lakewood and stretches northwest to the Gilpin County line. Incumbent Stephanie Schooley is not running for re-election. Amara Hildebrand, Erin Kenworthy, and Joel Newton are running for the open District 4 seat, which includes Edgewater and central and southern Lakewood. Incumbent Susan Miller also chose not to run for re-election. The Jefferson County Education Association endorsed Applegate and Kenworthy as leaders who will “do what it takes to give our students, educators, and community members the best public school experience possible.” Wicke and Hildebrand have the support of the Jefferson County Republican Party. which believes they “will stand up for your children and family in these difficult and confusing times.” School board candidates are elected at large, meaning Jeffco voters can vote for both districts, regardless of where they live. Yet, the elected directors represent constituents in the district in which they reside. School board races are non-partisan. Yet, after voters recalled a conservative board in 2015, they’ve consistently voted for members backed by the teacher’s union. This year’s race won’t change the majority but will add diverse, new perspectives. About the District 3 candidates

Michelle Applegate is a mom to three children in Jeffco schools and the PTA president at Stober Elementary. She calls herself a lifelong public education supporter whose top three priorities are ensuring Jeffco

has strong, thriving public schools, making safety a part of the student experience, and building trust through budget transparency. Applegate said that if elected, she would start with student achievement by replicating what’s working across the district and understanding what students, families, teachers and the community need. She also plans to use her work experience as an engineer to enhance collaboration among district stakeholders and that parent engagement, feedback and hearing from the community are essential to making informed decisions. She said the board needs to consider more than salaries when recruiting, compensating, and retaining its teachers. Enhanced benefits, additional prep time, and mental health services could show how much the district values its educators. Regarding student achievement, she said education and success amount to more than standardized test scores and wants to look at the impact of things like art and P.E. and understand the unique learning that happens in all the different schools. “I believe engagement and honestly listening to people and letting that be a part of the data that’s coming in is truly important,” said Applegate in response to school closure decisions. Thomas Wicke is the father of a Jeffco freshman and two graduates. His wife teaches at Drake Middle School, and he serves as the Aurora campus president of Concorde Career College. He says he is also a champion of public education and believes the school board needs to clear the way for educators to do their jobs effectively. Wicke’s priorities are to restore trust between parents and educators in the district through transparent, open and proactive communication, address budget challenges, and improve student achievement. Wicke says he’ll use his experience managing the bottom line of a forprofit college to manage the district’s $1.4 billion budget and deal with monetary challenges to come. SEE NEEDS, P10

South Golden fire station now fully staffed 24/7 After remodeling projects, city rededicates Station 24 for its 40th anniversary

Before Golden Fire Station 24’s ribbon-cutting and open house on Oct. 11, the Golden firefighters posted there had already been called out twice that morning. And, as the open house was winding down, they were called out again to a situation on West Colfax Avenue. That’s exactly why the Golden Fire Department wanted to celebrate Station 24’s rededication — it’s now fully staffed 24/7, allowing GFD to respond to calls faster and more efficiently. The station along Heritage Road near Colfax Avenue, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this fall, has been staffed sporadically with volunteers since it opened. However, GFD and city officials saw the need to have it staffed full-time with a mix of volunteer and career firefighters, Chief Kasey Beal explained. The city recently remodeled the station to improve the bedrooms, bathrooms and other amenities for $300,000 total; and the department received federal grants to hire additional firefighters. Beal said the SAFER grants expire in March 2026, but it gives Golden time to find its own funding mechanism to maintain the staffing levels if it wishes to do so. Beal and Mayor Laura Weinberg said they were excited to have 24/7/365 staffing at the south Golden station, which officially started on Oct. 1. They said the nearby residents, businesses and visitors will see faster response times. Calls in city limits are about 50-50 between the northern half and the southern half, Beal stated, adding that the dividing line is around 24th Street. The southern half of Golden includes a stretch of Interstate 70, the West Colfax Avenue corridor, the aggregate quarry, several city and county parks, shopping centers, office parks, and residential areas. It’s also considered part of the wildland-urban interface. Weinberg remarked how much south Golden has changed since Station 24 first opened in 1983, including

recent and ongoing developments. So, having a fully staffed fire station there means GFD can respond to more calls more quickly. Beal estimated that, within city limits, about 30% of GFD’s calls happen simultaneously. With fully staffed stations in downtown and south Golden, the department can respond to simultaneous calls much better now, he said. Golden also has a dual-response agreement with Pleasant View Fire Department for I-70 calls, Beal and Lt. Alan Johnson described. With Station 24 fully staffed, Golden can back up Pleasant View and reciprocate on calls much more now, they said. Johnson described how when firefighters are called out to a scene that’s very spread out, such as a large business, or to a situation that can escalate quickly, it’s safer to have more than one crew respond. ‘Here to help’

Johnson, who’s now posted at Station 24, said having it fully staffed sooner would’ve been helpful on several major calls, such as the 2019 structure fire in Golden Terrace Mobile Home Park and last October’s incident at The Rock Rest Lodge. He even pointed out how, the night before the rededication ceremony, the

crew responded to a cardiac arrest call very close to Station 24. The response time was much faster than it would’ve been responding from Station 21 in downtown Golden, which can make all the difference in life-and-death situations, Johnson continued. Matt Murphy, a volunteer firefighter who lives in the adjacent Heritage Dells neighborhood, hoped these staffing levels would help make Golden safer and its community members healthier. “We’re always here to help when someone’s having probably the worst day of their lives,” Murphy said. He described how there’s a strong sense of community pride for the department, its volunteers and its staff ; and GFD’s personnel reciprocate that pride in their community. He encouraged his fellow Goldenites to consider volunteering for the fire department, saying, “It’s a great way to show you love the community.” Whether people want to learn more about the department or just want to see the newly rededicated station, Johnson said Goldenites are more than welcome to stop by Station 24 anytime. Its doors are always open to the public, and the firefighters are happy to give tours to people of all ages. “This is (Golden’s) station,” Johnson continued, “and we’re excited to show it off.”

Body parts stolen from Wheat Ridge cemetery, JCSO looking for information BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Sheriff ’s deputies are investigating a case of stolen body parts and severe damage to a mausoleum at Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge. The deputies were dispatched to the scene on the morning of Oct. 10, according to a JCSO press release. There, deputies found a private mausoleum’s crypt front with severe damage, as well as damage to the casket inside the crypt. “It appears unknown sus-

pects entered the cemetery during the overnight hours, forced entry into the crypt and gained access to the casket,” said the press release. “The casket that housed the decedent’s remains had been pried open and portions of the body were removed.” According to Jeffco Sheriff ’s Public Information Officer Jacki Kelley, the damage is valued at about $30,000. The mausoleum’s marble was severely damaged, in addition to the cost of the crypt and casket damage. Kelley said that informa-

tion about the deceased and their stolen parts are not being released at this time. The sheriff ’s office was still trying to locate and notify the family at press time. Currently, there’s no information on a suspect, Kelley said. When a suspect or suspects are found, they will be facing charges of abuse of a corpse, felony criminal mischief, 3rd-degree burglary and theft. Anyone who has information about this case should contact the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office at 303-2715612.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said the mausoleum was damaged in order to get to a crypt and the casket inside. Once the casket was pried open, the suspect or suspects removed COURTESY OF JCSO parts of the remains.

NEEDS FROM PAGE 6

“I’ve heard the reason we’re losing staff isn’t necessarily because of the bottom line of money, although that is an element that I’m very interested and concerned with. We need to keep our teachers because they enjoy what they’re doing and feel like they’re teaching. I’ve heard stories of teachers not having support for discipline in the classroom,” he said. Wicke believes in listening to opposing views and understands there will be disagreements, especially when making hard decisions about school closures and budget choices. “Our parents need to understand the decisions being made so we can trust one another and move past the contention and division.”

Jeffco board of education candidates at a recent forum.

About the District 4 candidates

Amara Hildebrand has two children, one in a public school and the other in a private school. She attributes her education as the factor that led her family out of pov-

erty and believes in giving back to the community. She says she is running for a school board seat because education is the path to success, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Hildebrand believes in financially incentivizing teachers whose students show academic achievement and that some capital improvements are wants, not needs, meaning the district’s budget could be better managed to support teachers. While she has dealt with her own addiction issues in the past, she doesn’t believe schools need more counselors but that kids should get off their devices and devote time to community service projects. “We all have perspectives based on our experiences, and no one is right or wrong,” she said. “We need to listen, respect each other, and keep our students in the middle.” Erin Kenworthy is a former public school teacher who comes from a long line of teachers. She left her public school teaching role because she couldn’t afford to live and work in the community where she taught, but she continues to teach in other roles. Kenworthy says schools are there to meet students where they are and support their needs and interests, from apprenticeships to career and college readiness. The district must attract and retain highly qualified educators with competitive pay to accomplish that goal. “As a former educator, it’s imperative that we treat our educational professionals as professionals. They deserve fair compensation and healthy, safe, supportive, and

balanced work environments,” Kenworthy said. It’s also important to her that educators learn culturally relevant, trauma-informed practices in approaching students who may be responding to a situation or stimuli based on things they have not experienced in that school or are not immediately attached to that situation. Joel Newton has lived in Jeffco for 18 years and believes he has a responsibility to make the community better. He started Edgewater Collective to support local Title I schools to build community partnerships so those students, families, and educators have what they need to succeed. “We can’t sugarcoat tough decisions, and we need to educate the community about our priorities,” he said. “The budget priority process starts at the schools. These conversations have to start in December, and we need to keep what’s best for our students at the center.” To solve some of the issues around the cost of living in Jeffco, Newton suggested looking for community partnerships for lowcost housing opportunities and other creative solutions for the district’s staff to live and work in the community. “With education, there are a lot of things we can disagree on, neighborhood vs. charter schools or whatever it might be,” said Newton. “But I am firmly committed to listening and seeking to understand where every stakeholder in Jeffco is coming from because as we do that as a board, we find the common good.”

VOICES

A new production of a classic play at Miner’s Alley

K, this year I decided to break out the Halloween decorations. I used to do a lot of spooky things to the front yard and porch, but recently there just haven’t been as many kids coming to the door for trickor-treating as there used to be. Most of the people in my neighborhood are college students or professors with grown children, so we just don’t have a lot of little witches and goblins running around. But I got inspired with a trip to the local Halloween store. It had this huge motion-activated jumping spider marked down to half price and it had everyone in the store startled and squealing. So, now one of them is on my porch terrorizing the poor mailman and delivery drivers. Hopefully we’ll get some folks dropping by on Oct. 31 to see it, along with the howling wolf and life-size human skeletons, ghosts, assorted other smaller spiders, a few bats and scary lighting. I stopped short of putting the corpse with hedge clippers stuck in its back under the bushes again. The thing looked so real that the last time I did that, someone saw it and called the police to report a dead body. Of course, leaving it out there until December might have contributed a bit to their confusion.

AVENUE FLASHES

Yes, I’m feeling that October vibe again, and just to let you all know, by the time you read this, my birthday should be happening. This is the year that I will find out the answer to that age-old question…Will you still John Akal need me, will you still feed me? OK, enough about what’s going on at my house. Let’s take a look at what’s going on at the local playhouse. Miners Alley Playhouse, to be exact. It has a couple of new productions starting this month and some other really exciting news. So, in case you haven’t heard, Miners Alley is in the middle of doing a huge expansion by creating the Miners Alley Performing Arts Center in the heart of Golden, transforming the former Meyer Hardware building from one community hub into another. That was called Act 1, and it will be opening for visits this month. Now it’s time to build Act 2, which will be additional space to host community events, meetings, receptions, recitals, education, expanded children’s theatre and a lot more. So, stay tuned to this

column for more information on the progress. But for right now, Miner’s Alley has a new production of a classic play called “The Cherry Orchard.” This was Anton Chekhov’s last fulllength play and they will be presenting it with a new translation by master dramatist Stephen Karam. The story follows an impoverished landowning family, unable to face the fact that their estate is about to be auctioned off. Lopakhin, a local merchant, presents numerous options to save it, including cutting down their prized cherry orchard. But the family is stricken with denial. The Cherry Orchard charts the precipitous descent of a wealthy family, and in the process creates a bold meditation on social change and bourgeois materialism. At least, that’s what is says about the play on the Miner’s Alley website. I’ve never seen it, so I’m anxious to check it out. Performances will still be at the regular Miners Alley Playhouse, located at 1224 Washington Ave. here in Golden. The show runs now through Nov. 5 with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays-Saturdays as well as Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets run from $32 to $47 with discounts available for students and seniors.

In addition to that production, the playhouse will present its classic Halloween performances featuring Ichabod Crane and the infamous Headless Horseman. Yes, it’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” for the Miners Alley Children’s Theater on Saturdays with performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. from now through Nov. 4. Those will also be at the regular Miners Playhouse location and tickets for them run $12 for adults and children. You can find out a lot more information about these productions, order tickets as well as check out the new Performing Arts Center by visiting minersalley.com. So, put that stuff on your Fall calendar. Then, if you haven’t already done so, get your own Halloween decorations up and running. It doesn’t take much. Just stuff some old clothes with newspaper, add a pair of boots, stick a wig on a soccer ball and add that face down on top with some hedge clippers stuck in the back. Put it under the bushes. Just remember to take it down before Christmas. Trust me on that one! John Akal is a well-known jazz artist/drummer and leader of the 20-piece Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra. He also is president of John Akal Imaging, professional commercial

lution saying it is dangerous and bad for the environment? There are big profits to be made with hydrogen. We all remember the middle school experiment when our teacher ran electricity through water, and made hydrogen. It was so clean! While Xcel is banking on that memory, they are hiding that more than 99% of hydrogen produced in the US comes from fossil fuels, worsening climate change. Hydrogen is so explosive, it makes rocket fuel. None of us want a hydrogen blend piped into our homes, where it leaks from

pipes and explodes at 4x the rate of “natural” methane gas. It’s also bad for our health. Burning hydrogen results in more dangerous NOx (an ozone precursor) than methane alone. Asthma patients like me know how that endangers our health. The AMA condemned hydrogen blending because it’s dangerous and unhealthy. It’s leakier, more explosive, more corrosive, more expensive, and worse for our climate than methane gas. Xcel needs to tell us the truth, and keep hydrogen out of our homes. Ruth Hund, Golden

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep dangerous hydrogen out of our homes

Why does Xcel Energy keep building gas lines to new homes, when we know gas needs to be phased out? There are big profits to be made with gas. Xcel’s profits increased over 10% last year as we shivered, and many of our power bills tripled. Now Xcel wants to dress its emperor in new clothes, with hydrogen. Why is Xcel Energy investing in hydrogen blending for our homes when the American Medical Association (AMA) passed a reso-

As the proud father of two recent Jeffco Schools graduates, I am a strong champion for our public schools.

institutions and struggling communities. He’s the president of a now thriving college here in Colorado, but his reputation as a problem solver goes far beyond our state. The Department of Homeland Security brought him in to work on disaster recovery after Hurricane Katrina and help affected communities restore and rebuild. Simply put, he has the skills, experience, and commitment we need to realize the dream of thriving schools. School board elections matter. I encourage every Jeffco citizen to vote in this election and to vote for Thomas Wicke for Jeffco Board of Education. Andrew Hinz, Golden, CO Golden elections

It’s municipal election season! As usual in Golden, candidates and their supporters are knocking on doors, making phone calls, sending texts, writing campaign messages, and scheduling meetand-greet times. As not-so-usual in Golden, unsubstantiated claims and deceitful rumors seem to be flying around town like autumn leaves. The undersigned are seasoned observers and participants in our town’s municipal elections. Mike served as City Manager for 22 years; Marjorie was a City Councilor and then Mayor for a total of 12 years. This year, we are saddened to see some advocates ignoring the longstanding “Golden Rule” for conducting fair campaigns. We would like to provide some perhaps-forgotten guidelines that underscore the value of votes cast by informed residents. Candidates’ records — of public service, community efforts, and comments — can be the best indicator of their values and positions. Thanks to local media, municipal websites, and Colorado transparency laws, this information is readily available for firsthand review. One advantage of small-town politics is that general gossip about candidates can be verified (or not) by asking the candidates themselves or the people who know them best. We hope you have the courage to do that.

Public resources should not be expended to support a candidate. By law, Golden municipal elections are nonpartisan. The ballot does not identify candidates by political party because City leaders’ job is to solve problems (like potholes) that have little political affiliation. Election time is an opportunity to choose leaders who represent your values and vision. The importance of casting an informed vote cannot be overstated. We’re confident that Golden voters will accept their voting responsibilities and elect leaders with the ability to guide our town into the future. MikeBestor, Former City Manager Marjorie Sloan, Former Councilor and Mayor Golden is on the right track with Laura Weinberg

As your elected State Representative representing Golden, I value when I can trust and depend on other elected officials. Mayor Laura Weinberg is one of those colleagues. Mayor Weinberg understands the issues that Golden cares about. That’s why the Mayor is committed to identifying the strategies needed to reach the city’s sustainability goals. As a State Legislator, I trust Mayor Laura to advocate at the state level for changes that will benefit Golden. Her work advocating for the Extended Producer Responsibility bill was recognized by Recycle Colorado awarding her 2022 Outstanding Elected Official of the year. Housing is also a major topic for Golden and the state. Mayor Laura is a leader working to strengthen local, regional, state, and national partnerships to position Golden favorably in broader housing efforts including access to state funding to address housing and homelessness. The Mayor has focused on housing challenges throughout her Council tenure including the adoption of housing goals in 2017 and the completion of the Housing Affordability and Needs Study in 2022. A top priority for the Mayor is creating housing options for smaller households, first-time homebuyers, and seniors who want to stay in Golden. SEE LETTERS, P18

NO PLACE LIKE HOME Local high school graduates find unique brotherhood on Mines football team

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ack Walters wasn’t planning to play college football. Now, he plays for the

reigning NCAA Division II National Runner-Up, practically down the street from where he grew up. A three-sport athlete for Golden High School, Walters hoped one of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference universities would recruit him during his senior year. Once Colorado School of Mines reached out and offered him a scholarship, he knew that’s where he belonged. “Growing up in Golden, Mines is just in our backyard,” Walters said. “ … I knew I wasn’t going to pass up on it. It’s a great academic school, and (has)

some of the best football in the country.” Walters is one of about 30 players from the Denver metro area on the Mines football team, helping spur the Orediggers toward their firstever national title. Because many of them played against each other in high school, the local Orediggers have a unique bond, Walters and Pomona High School graduate Billy Pospisil III described. The players sometimes dish out good-hearted “smack talk,” they said, and share stories about

opponents or coaches they had in common. Walters explained how those similar experiences can make things easier when meeting new players on recruiting visits or at camps. That’s something Valor Christian High School graduates Jackson Zimmermann and Carter Forsythe can attest to. The two played together at VCHS, and when Forsythe visited the Mines campus, Zimmermann — who was a freshman cornerback for the Orediggers — showed him around. Forsythe, now a redshirt freshman linebacker, said seeing Zimmermann find success at Mines was one of the reasons he decided to join too. Another was the program’s culture, and how similar it was to Valor Christian’s, he continued, adding how there are now six VCHS alumni among the Orediggers. “Mines’ culture is already so fantastic,” Forsythe said, “ … (and) Jackson made it an easy decision.” Another benefit of playing so close to home, SEE BROTHERHOOD, P17

DO YOU KNOW THESE LOCAL OREDIGGERS? The Colorado School of Mines football team features 50 players from Colorado, about half of whom graduated from Denver-area high schools. They include, but aren’t limited to: • Billy Pospisil III (Arvada/Pomona High School) • Sean McNair (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Nick Stone (Highlands Ranch/Mountain Vista High School) • Jalen Thomas (Englewood/ Arapahoe High School) • Mikee Barker (Parker/Ponderosa High School) • Jackson Zimmermann (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Carter Forsythe (Littleton/ Valor Christian High School) • Will Adams (Littleton/Columbine High School) • Christian Benedetto (Parker/ Valor Christian High School) • Levi Johnson (Arvada/ Ralston Valley High School) • Jack Walters (Golden/ Golden High School) • Preston Rose (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Peyton Rose (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • James Hess (Littleton/Dakota Ridge High School) • Blake Doud (Parker/Legend High School) • Clayton Jacobs (Parker/Lutheran High School) • Mitchell Morehead (Arvada/ Ralston Valley High School) • Brock Zanetell (Evergreen/ Columbine High School)

they described, was how frequently they get to see their loved ones at the games. They said their family members, former teammates and coaches, family friends and others from the Valor Christian community show up to support them at the games. Pospisil, who played wide receiver at Washington State University and grad-transferred to Mines in fall 2022, commented how grateful he was to be back home. He believed attending a local college was “underrated,” and that some high school students might overlook it as an option. “But, coming back after being away, there’s really not much that beats it,” Pospisil continued. “ … It’s been a great ride ever since.” Where nerds win

Despite attending different high schools, the four players said their experiences helped prepare them for everything they’d face at Mines. Walters said Golden’s football team struggled his freshman and sophomore years, but a new head coach and a change in culture propelled the program to new heights. “It taught us what it was like to be in a winning program,” he continued. That was something Zimmermann found very early at Valor Christian. The redshirt sophomore cornerback said he wasn’t planning to play high school football, clarifying that he went to Valor Christian for its academics. But he ended up “falling in love” with the game and the program’s culture. Despite having six head coaches since starting high school, he said he’s been drawn to programs “where, no matter who the coach is … you’re going to have a great brotherhood around you.” Zimmermann and Forsythe described how Valor Christian and Mines have similar cultures centered on brotherhood and trust. And for both programs, that’s translated into winning records, Forsythe added. “Winning isn’t everything,” he continued. “But it’s definitely a byproduct of the hard work we put in here (at Mines) and the chemistry we have.” #HelluvaEngineer

The Orediggers aren’t just facing tough situations on the field, but in the classroom as well. The players must learn to balance athletics with their classes in engineering, computer science and similar subjects. Pospisil, who’s pursuing a master’s degree in environmental engineering science, said the Orediggers face a “truly unique situation” as far as college football goes. “School is tough, but it’s going to be tough when you’re doing any one of these majors,” Pospisil continued. “But when you’re done, you’re set up for life. I think in the receiver’s

room, the average starting salary in the last five years is close to $100,000 now.” While Pospisil was unsure if he’d return to Mines next year, Walters plans to use his final year of eligibility in fall 2024 and pursue a master’s degree in engineering & technology management. Walters is currently studying mechanical engineering, which he said he didn’t know much about when he first started at Mines. But he’s enjoyed becoming a proverbial jack-of-alltrades, studying everything from construction to technology consulting. “It’s really hard, but I like it,” he said. “ … If I was telling my high school self if I should come to Mines, I’d say do it 100%.”

When he graduated from Washington State with an engineering-related degree, he knew Mines would be the “perfect fit.” “‘Where can I go play some great football and get a great education?’” he continued. “There’s really no better place super close to home.” Zimmermann and Forsythe both said they were grateful to be able to represent Valor Christian and the Highlands Ranch-Littleton area on the college football stage. The two hoped their families, hometown communities and the Denver area would continue to support them as the Orediggers hope to end 2023 holding a trophy. “It’s really cool to just see the support,” Zimmermann said, “and see everyone come together in Golden.”

‘The perfect fit’

MINES FOOTBALL 4-1-1

While there’s been plenty of adversity to overcome both on and off the field, Walters had no regrets about coming to Mines. He said the university and the football program have taught him “how to grow up.” “You don’t really know how hard school and football can be,” he said, adding that because of that adversity he’s now forged bonds with his fellow Orediggers that’ll likely endure all their lives. Those planning to attend college shouldn’t be afraid to stay local, Walters said. While he always wanted to go to an out-of-state college, he described how Mines “is such a special place you can’t get anywhere else in the country.” Pospisil felt the university deserved more national recognition for its academic prowess.

This November, Golden voters will decide whether to approve an increase in property tax “to fund the capital needs and operational costs of the Golden Fire Department” and provide a sustainable source of funding. Currently, many of Golden’s firefighters are funded through federal grants with a limited duration, which is not sustainable. Golden desperately needs this dedicated funding source to be able to meet national response time standards, to protect our homes and families, and to adequately staff two fire stations. The funding would be audited annually and strengthen Golden’s fire,

paramedic, and wildfire response. Golden’s portion of property taxes has not been increased in over 30 years. Currently, Golden’s local property tax mill levy is 12.34 mills, which is about 14% of the total property tax for a Golden resident. A 6-mill increase is about $34 per $100K of home value (a mill is equal to $1 in property tax levied per $1,000 of a property’s assessed value). Most districts fund their fire protection through a property tax mill levy. Golden’s budget funding incorporates their services (police, fire, parks, water, sewer…), whereas many jurisdictions separate out some of their services. For example, a home in Wheat Ridge has a local mill levy of 20.9 mills (sum of city=1.8, sanitation district=6.3, West Metro Fire=12.75 mills). A home in Arvada has a total mill levy of 23.8 (sum of city=4.3, parks=4.6, Arvada Fire=14.893). Golden’s proposed local mill levy is lower than that of many neighboring cities.

Golden has been wrestling with how to transform and adequately fund fire protection for several years. The City’s website (www. cityofgolden.net/fire) has links to the 2023 Cooperative Services Study and Decision Analysis, which contain information behind City Council’s decision to approve a standalone fire department. They considered several factors and compared a standalone department with merging with West Metro or Arvada Fire Protection Districts. The standalone department is the most cost-effective approach and retains local control. Total 2023 expenditures for the Golden Fire Department are budgeted as $7.66 million, and this amount of funding is not sustainable within existing revenue and expiring federal grants. Golden needs a tax mill levy increase to sustainably fund fire protection, preserve local control, and maintain our nearly 150-year-old independent fire department. Kathy Smith, Golden

Explore the Mysteries of the Ice Ages at DMNS

here’s just something so fascinating about the Ice Age – it’s a world so foreign and so familiar at the same time. Visitors to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., can explore that far off time with the new exhibit, Mysteries of the Ice Ages, which opens on Friday, Oct. 20. “This area of study is special in how multi-generational it can become. Young kids explore learning about megafauna animals, while adults learn about the glaciation that forms the ice ages,” wrote Emily Doherty, educator for Mysteries of the Ice Ages, in an email interview. “This exhibit has something for everyone in that it has many amazing specimens that are engaging to look at and deeper content explanations for those that want to learn something new about how we interact with ice on our planet.” We interviewed Doherty about the exhibit, the museum’s connection to the discoveries on display and what visitors will come away with. Interview edited for brevity and clarity. Tell me about the genesis of Mysteries of the Ice Ages? This exhibit is coming to us from the Canadian Museum of Nature. They created this exhibit for their own museum and it has now become a travelling exhibition. We are the first place that it is travelling to.

help connect with local audiences? We have two facilitated carts where guests can interact with a volunteer and explore Neanderthal traits, as well Clarke Reader as Ice Age Animal Adaptations. We also have added many Colorado-specific enhancements, focusing on topics of seasonal fat, winter recreation, local legends of the Folsom site, white-tailed jackrabbits, Colorado wildfires, mountain glaciers, and, of course, our Snowmass Discovery of Ice Age specimens in 2010. This is of such importance because it’s one of the largest discoveries and projects the museum has led. I also believe guests will enjoy making a personal connection to the exhibit by exploring how they interact with ice in so many different ways in their own lives. What do you hope people come away from the exhibit with? I hope people will come away from this exhibit with a deeper understanding and excitement around how we as humans interact with our environment, specifically with ice and cold environments.

Their latest album, “The Window,” isn’t just the group’s best release to date, but easily one of the year’s best. Working with Chris Walla (formerly of Death Cab for Cutie), the group has found a new groove that fits like a glove. It’s got elements of their forebearers like Wilco, but everything feels thrillingly alive and lived in. In support of the album, Ratboys will be performing at the Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. They’ll be joined by indie upstarts Another Michael.

Cities accelerate turf wars with construction bans, median rip-outs BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Broomfield has joined a swelling wave of Colorado communities sharply limiting thirsty turf grass in new development, with more communities about to follow, while other cities and parks departments are starting to rip out useless grass in medians and rights of way for replacement with water-wise landscapes. State water officials, meanwhile, have closed out the first year of $1.5 million in local turf removal grants with nearly 40 applications for the money, and water resource experts hope to use the momentum from the anti-turf evolution to create a bigger state-funded buyback next year. “The momentum toward waterwise landscape transformation is un-

precedented in the last year or two,” said Lindsay Rogers, a water specialist with Western Resource Advocates. The nonprofit worked with WaterNow Alliance to advise Broomfield, and Rogers said cities from Fort Collins to Grand Junction to Edgewater are working on or have recently passed new landscaping ordinances deemphasizing turf. WaterNow Alliance’s grant work with Broomfield, population 78,000, provides up to 250 hours of pro bono water-wise consultation, Rogers said. The Broomfield City Council unanimously passed what Rogers calls one of the strongest turf restrictions in the state in early October, with turfgrass allowed on only 30% of the front and side yards of new detached homes and commercial construction. New irrigation systems in Broomfield

must have rain shutoff sensors to prevent overwatering, and turf is banned from parking lot landscapes. Broomfield’s new ordinance starts Jan. 1. Aurora and Castle Rock have also recently passed sharp cutbacks in turf allowance for new construction, after years of drought in Colorado helped build momentum for water savings. While municipal water use overall makes up less than 10% of statewide water use, with the vast bulk going to agriculture, landscape watering makes up half or more of municipal usage. Broomfield said 60% to 70% of its water use has been outdoors in recent years. “We’ve seen a great appetite by our existing residents to participate in our water-wise planting and garden in a box programs,” Broomfield Mayor Guyleen Castriotta said. “So there’s

definitely a growing desire to reduce water consumption and conserve, and we’re trying to walk the walk to do it with our own properties.” Like Lafayette and other cities, Broomfield is beginning to rip watersucking turf out of public median spaces that are not used for sports fields or public enjoyment, and replace the grass with landscapes that use far less water. Rogers and other state leaders mentioned a growing handful of other anti-turf efforts around Colorado: Lafayette has an ambitious public turf replacement series underway, with big demonstration projects replacing grass with low-water plantings, and educational signage so that the gardens can be used as a SEE TURF WARS, P25

Coloradans react to violence in Israel, reprisals in Gaza BY MATT WHITTAKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Amid a tragic and rising death toll from the fighting between Israel and militant group Hamas, members of Colorado’s Jewish and Palestinian communities gathered with concern. Among them, Jewish Colorado, a cultural advocacy organization, which held a Zoom meeting to see what they might do to help. Nelly Ben Tal, the Denver-based emissary from the Jewish Agency for Israel, said that her family in Israel was feeling “helpless” after reports of the Hamas attacks had shocked the world. Israel answered the attacks with its own on the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave from where Hamas launched its incursion. “The last couple of days have been horrible, tragic,” for both Gazans and Jews, she said. Ben Tal added that she knew of friends and family in shelters after hours of fighting. Meanwhile, Reema Wahdan, a Front Range organizer with the Colorado Palestine Club, said in an interview with Colorado Community Media that she had a close friend who has family in Gaza that they had not been able to reach in the days after

the attack. Facing aerial bombardments, Gaza, which contains about 2 million people in an area roughly twice the size of Washington, D.C, only had intermittent electricity. Wahdan condemned the Hamas attacks but like many Palestinian advocates bristled at media reports that the assault was unprovoked. Wahdan said Gazans have lived under terrible conditions for years. “They’re literally drinking contaminated water,” she said. “It’s not a one-sided attack. It’s not just Hamas. The international community can’t start from right now.” That’s a position echoed by Democratic state Rep. Iman Jodeh, the daughter of Palestinian parents who advocates for Palestinians in Aurora and Arapahoe County. “Violence begets violence,” she said on social media. ”While we hear about the futile actions of the government and organizations in conflict, let us not forget, it is the civilians who pay the cost of conflict — often with their lives in an unending cycle of violence.” The Hamas attack began on Oct. 7. It included what human rights advocates have described as indiscriminate rocket strikes along with an incursion, some of it captured in video showing Israeli civilians being

killed or taken hostage. And Defense for Children International-Palestine said at deadline time that dozens of Palestinian children had been killed in Israel’s Gaza assault. As the conflict, described by Israel as a “war,” continued into its first week, the death toll in Israel and Gaza numbered into the thousands. Israel reportedly cut off electricity and fuel supplies and said it would not allow food into the enclave. Gaza, which has been under Israeli blockade for years, gets most of its electricity and about 10% of its water from Israel. ` “They can’t get electricity to run what they have,” Gary Anderson, a Colorado-based water engineer who has worked on a design for a desalination plant in Gaza, told Colorado Community Media in an interview last week. He is a member of pro-Palestinian group Center for Freedom and Justice-Colorado. At a Colorado Palestine Club demonstration at the Capitol after the attacks, about 40 people showed their support for Palestinians with flags, clapping and chanting. “Palestine is our demand; no peace on stolen land,” one of their chants went. State Rep. Tim Hernandez, a Democrat who represents the north and

west sides of Denver, came under political fire for attending the protest. “I call for the #CoHouseDems to formally reprimand Tim Hernandez,” Lisa Frizell, a Republican who represents Castle Rock and other Douglas County communities, said on X, formerly Twitter. She posted video of militants taking civilians hostage. “His behavior and support of terrorists is beyond reproach,” Frizell added. State Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Commerce City Democrat, broke party ranks to castigate Hernandez on social media. “I wholeheartedly disagree with Rep. Hernandez’s decision to attend a rally in support of the unconscionable terrorist campaign unfolding against thousands of Jewish families in Israel,” she said in a statement. “As an Israeli and a Jew, it’s hard to put into words the pain, fear, and rage that myself and my family both here and in Israel feel. My loved ones are currently living from siren to siren running for their lives to underground bunkers.” After that, Hernandez issued a lengthy response to the criticisms online. SEE REACTION, P25

TURF WARS FROM PAGE 23

“shopping” list for homeowners wanting to do the same. The city also has programs offering homeowners $1 a square foot in new landscaping subsidies if they rip out grass. “I’m a big advocate for practicing what we preach,” said Elizabeth Szorad, Lafayette’s sustainability coordinator. Denver Parks and Recreation is replacing turfgrass with low-water landscaping in medians and oddlot spaces it controls after decades of city growth and change. One of the initial projects was a high-profile median at Quebec Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard, said deputy parks director Scott Gilmore. The parks department has multiple medians and scattered block-size spaces it controls but which are not useful for public park or athletic field use, such as a block at West 48th Avenue and Julian Street cut off from the larger Rocky Mountain Lake Park by Interstate 70 construction. Denver Water is helping to pay for

REACTION FROM PAGE 24

“I listened at a rally on Saturday (Oct. 7) in solidarity with the Colorado Palestinian community, not Hamas, because Palestinian people shared in the tragic loss of life this weekend,” Hernandez wrote on X. “I did not speak or attend the rally in support of Hamas or in support of the attacks on Israel that took place over the weekend, nor did I ‘spit on Israel.’ I have listened and heard deeply from Jewish and Israeli Coloradans who have called for my solidarity in mourning their losses as well.” On the Zoom call, Dan Leshem, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council at Jewish Colorado, said the demonstration was “profoundly offensive and in poor taste and disgusting.” Other Colorado leaders also showed support for Israel. Gov. Jared Polis, Attorney General Phil Weiser and Secretary of State Jenna Griswold, all Democrats, said on social media that they stand with the

the work, which replaces 10 acres of traditional Kentucky bluegrass in the broad median area. Fort Collins is preparing to overhaul its landscape ordinances with a restriction similar to Broomfield’s of no more than 30% turf at new home construction, Rogers said. Fort Collins and other cities are also studying bans on installation of artificial, plastic grass as a turf replacement, Rogers said. Artificial turf comes with increasing concerns about PFAS “forever chemicals” used in manufacturing and then shedding in water runoff, as well as creating urban heat islands and a lack of recycling options for old artificial grass. Grand Junction is working on new landscaping codes that will include not only options for water-wise, low-use designs, but an additional option for ultra-low water “high desert” landscaping, Rogers said. Colorado is processing up to 39 applications from towns for the initial $1.5 million in state turf buyback programs. Legislators and water experts designed the grant program to fill in gaps among cities that haven’t launched their own buybacks, which

Jewish state. “Families, innocent and defenseless, have been brutally killed in their own beds by Hamas militants,” said a statement by Colorado House minority leader Mike Lynch, who represents parts of Larimer and Weld Counties. “And we now learn that other women and children are being dragged from their homes and forced into Hamas tunnels to face rape, torture and possibly death — my blood is boiling.” The White House also expressed support for Israel, stating that 11 of the dead were Americans and that some of those who are unaccounted for could be Americans held hostage by Hamas. U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, a Democrat who represents Lakewood and Westminster, had a practical message. “If you’re a #CO07 resident visiting Israel or have family in the region and need assistance from the federal government, call my office at 303274-7944,” she said on social media. “Leave a voicemail including your name, your phone number, a brief description of the situation — and a staffer will call you back.”

until now have been concentrated in larger western cities like Aurora, Las Vegas and others. Rogers and others hope the high interest will push the legislature and state water board to find even more money for the program in 2024. “We’d like to see an annual appropriation, given how popular it’s been,” she said. Though many drought-savvy Colorado residents have moved beyond condemning all water-wise landscapes as “zero-scaping” in terms of aesthetics, turf replacement still requires constant public education efforts, Szorad said. Residents don’t want their lawns or public spaces simply given over to concrete or desolate gravel-scapes. Nor do they want to add to worries about

dry plants and weeds fueling future wildfires. A Lafayette fire station is one of the first public spaces to rip out turf and demonstrate wiser alternatives, after firefighters were ready to give up mowing the unused lawns, Szorad said. Attractive but defensible landscapes, Szorad said, have “been a very hot topic for our community ever since the Marshall fire.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

School absenteeism high, with 31% of students missing too much BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Nearly a third of Colorado students were chronically absent last year, missing 10% or more of the days they were supposed to be in school, according to new state data. That’s slightly better than the 2021-22 school year — when COVID’s omicron variant ripped through schools —but far worse than any year before the pandemic. Colorado education leaders are sounding the alarm about the missed days, as student academic performance still hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels. “Every day a student is in school is an opportunity for them to learn, build relationships and access support,” Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova said in a press release. “We know districts are working hard to ensure students attend school regularly. But we need everyone, including educators, parents, students and community members, to make a renewed effort on this important matter.” “The surest way to make improve-

ments in our recovery from the disruptions of the pandemic is for kids to be in school,” Córdova added. Colorado’s chronic absenteeism rate was 31% last year, representing 269,582 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Before COVID, rates ranged from 18% to 24%. Colorado is not alone, with most states reporting more students missing school. Some groups had a greater share of students who were chronically absent. Kindergartners and 10th, 11th, and 12th graders all had chronic absenteeism rates above 35%. Roughly 40% of English learners missed too many days of school, as did 43% of low-income students and 60% of homeless students. And the majority of absences — 62% — were excused. Snapshots of chronic absentee rates by several districts across the metro area: Adams 12 Five Star Schools: 33.6% Westminster Public Schools: 37.9% Englewood 1: 42.7% Littleton 6: 19.3% Adams-Arapahoe 28J: 43.3% Clear Creek RE1: 36.5% Centennial R1: 45% Jefferson County R-1: 28.3% Douglas County Re1:

19.4% Elizabeth School District: 23.4%. Johann Liljengren, director of the dropout prevention and student re-engagement office in the Colorado Department of Education, said schools report a wide range of reasons students aren’t showing up to school. Expectations around health and wellness are different in the wake of COVID, and there’s more concern about not spreading illness to others. State education officials point to “how sick is too sick” guidance for when kids should stay home. Some students report that they feel anxious or that they don’t feel safe at school. Others are disengaged or bored, and much of their schoolwork is now available online, even if instruction is supposed to happen in person. School-based attendance workers and others who work with youth missing school describe teenagers sleeping in after working overnight shifts and elementary students who don’t make it to school because a parent is depressed or overwhelmed. A few absences a month that

don’t feel like much to a parent can add up over time. And missing school can be a warning sign for future problems. Students who are chronically absent in middle school are more likely to drop out of high school, he said. Liljengren said more schools are beginning to use attendance teams that go over data, reach out to families, and make home visits. The state, meanwhile, has some grants available to support that work and also points schools to organizations like Attendance Works, which provides free resources. The state has also convened a cohort of school district leaders to share information and learn from each other. Liljengren stressed that schools need to give students a reason to show up. “What are we really valuing about in-person or live lessons?” he said. “We are thinking about how we really draw students in.” Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

A Battle of the Mines: Orediggers blast away Hardrockers 45-22 Colorado School of Mines now ranked No. 1 in D2 football BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the Colorado School of Mines football team, the Oct. 14 war of pickaxes against South Dakota Mines was a diamondin-the-rough kind of game. The Orediggers came away with the W, though, ultimately pulverizing the Hardrockers 4522. Colorado School of Mines, now 7-0 overall and 5-0 in conference play, is the new No. 1 in NCAA Division II rankings after previous No. 1 Ferris State lost to No. 4 Grand Valley State over the weekend. After kicking off against the Hardrockers Oct. 14, Orediggers seemed to be in a firstquarter funk. On their very first offensive play of the game, senior quarterback John Matocha threw an interception. While the Orediggers scored on their second drive, penalties stifled their momentum into the second quarter. However, with eight minutes left in the half, redshirt sophomore cornerback Jackson Zimmermann nabbed his third interception in two games and gave the Orediggers a muchneeded boost. On the very next play, Matocha launched a 54yard pass to senior wide receiver Max McLeod for Colorado School of Mines’ second touchdown. With the half winding down, the Orediggers recovered a muffed punt return and started their drive three yards from the end zone. Matocha then tossed a 3-yard pass to sophomore running back Landon Walker for a

touchdown and a firm grip on the game’s momentum. Colorado School of Mines went into halftime up 21-0. While the Hardrockers tried to squeak back into the game in the third and fourth quarters, the Orediggers had the last word. Matocha lobbed the ball 12 yards to the back of the end zone, where redshirt freshman tight end Blake Smotherman caught it to score his first collegiate touchdown. Matocha ended the game with 344 passing yards and 27 rushing yards. McLeod and senior running back Noah Roper led the Orediggers in receiving and rushing yards, respectively, and scored four of the team’s six touchdowns. Meanwhile, redshirt junior outside linebacker Jaden Healy led the Oredigger defense in total tackles, notching seven for the game. Along with his interception, Zimmermann led the team in solo tackles with four; and redshirt senior linebacker Nolan Reeve had six total tackles, including a 7-yard sack. In the stands, the Mini Mines Cheer Camp participants helped their collegiate counterparts cheer the Orediggers onto victory. During the week of Oct. 9-14, about a dozen elementary school-age children learned basic cheerleader stunts, dance moves and Mines cheers. They then capped off their camp with a Barbie-themed halftime routine alongside the Mines cheerleaders. Next up for the football team is the Oct. 21 game at Black Hills State. The Orediggers then return home Oct. 28 to face the Colorado Western Mountaineers. For more information on the team, including a full recap and box score of the Oct. 14 game, visit MinesAthletics.com.

Mines soccer takes down Regis 2-0 on second-chance goals Orediggers preparing for final games of regular season

laire made eight saves on the night. On paper, Regis was the more aggressive team, with 58% of the possession time. It also had 21 total shots and six corners. The Rangers also drew 16 fouls from the Orediggers, while only committing seven themselves. The Orediggers also received two yellow cards. Mulholland and junior midfielder Caelin David praised Regis’ soccer prowess, saying it’s a well-put-together and well-coached team. “I thought we did well to minimize (the Rangers’) damage in the first half, and … there were little scares throughout the game,” David said. “I thought we defended together as a team, all the way from the back line up to the strikers. I think that’s why we earned the win.”

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In soccer, as in life, following through on a goal is crucial. It can make the difference between victory and defeat. The Colorado School of Mines men’s soccer team brought that sentiment to the field Oct. 12, defeating local rival Regis 2-0. For both goals, the ball was initially deflected by Rangers goalie Cristian Sattin; but Orediggers Chris Seery and Gabriel Rodriguez, respectively, followed up and turned them into points. The win gave Mines three points in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference standings, putting it in fifth place. The Orediggers were 3-4-5 overall and 2-2-1 in conference play going into their Oct. 15 home game against South Dakota Mines. “It was a hard-fought battle from our entire team,” Rodriguez said, describing how the Orediggers put their bodies on the line throughout the game against Regis. “ … It was really firing me up. … It gave me the courage to follow up on my own shot.” The Oct. 12 game’s first half was a rowdy one. Neither team managed to score, although not for lack of trying. Regis and Mines had eight and nine shots, respectively, with 10 total fouls and a yellow card issued to Mines’ Luke Hanna. At halftime, the Orediggers adjusted its press, which Coach Greg

With Golden’s visible around the field, the Colorado School of Mines men’s soccer team huddles before the Oct. 12 home game against Regis. Mines won 2-0, advancing PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN to 2-2-1 in conference play.

Mulholland said put his team “more on the front foot” in the second half and created some offensive opportunities. “We just stepped a little bit higher, and tried to make (the Rangers) play a little bit deeper in their own half and not get into our half so easily,” Mulholland said of the second-half defensive adjustment. “ … It was an interesting game of two halves.” In the 56th minute, Rodriguez was fouled on the very edge of the penalty box, and Mines received a penalty kick. Seery took the kick, which Sattin initially deflected. But, Seery got the rebound and sank it into the back of the net.

In the 83rd minute, Mines forward John Burnett got a tackle in the midfield, capitalized on it, and started driving the ball toward the goal. Rodriguez, who was just a little behind Burnett, called for the ball. Burnett played it back to Rodriguez, who took the shot. Once again, Sattin made the initial stop, but Rodriguez followed up and made it a 2-0 game. It was the junior forward’s first goal of the season, and he hoped to score more before Mines closes the book on 2023. Overall, the Orediggers put up 23 total shots with eight shots on goal; and sophomore goalie Caden Al-

With Regis defeated, the Orediggers were preparing for their final five games of the regular season. After the Oct. 15 home game against South Dakota Mines, the Orediggers are traveling to Fort Lewis, Adams State, and MSU Denver before returning home Oct. 29 for their Senior Day game versus Colorado Christian. David was confident Mines would win its final regular-season games, adding that he believes the team’s hit a turning point. “It seems like the guys are really just linking, and we’re getting so close together as a team,” he continued. “I have no doubt that we’re going to have great success this year.” Mulholland wanted the Orediggers to take things one game at a time, adding that the RMAC race runs on an “any given day” rule.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance, or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within

the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $351,377.35 as of August 29, 2023, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Public Notice

TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1 Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications, and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of SEPTEMBER 2023 for each County affected. (This publication can be viewed in its entirety on the state court website at: www.courts.state.co.us) 2023CW3122 BEAR CREEK DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, Attn: Ross Bradley, PO Box 465, Morrison, CO 80465 (303) 697-1717 ross@bradleyblastingco.com. Please send all correspondence to: Steven P. Jeffers and Casey J. Weaver, Lyons Gaddis, PC, 950 Spruce St, Unit 1 B , Louisville, CO 80027 Telephone: (720) 726-3671 E-Mail: sjeffers@lyonsgaddis.com; cweaver@lyonsgaddis. com APPLICATION FOR NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NONTRIBUTARY UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS IN THE DENVER BASIN AQUIFERS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY. 2. Applicant requests determination of groundwater rights beneath 395 acres of land comprised of nine (9) parcels (the “Subject Property”). Applicant is the sole owner of the Subject Property. Applicant requests that this Court determine that Applicant has the right to withdraw and use all the legally available groundwater lying below the Subject Property through a single well or multiple wells constructed in each aquifer at any location on the Subject Property, because eight parcels are contiguous and the other parcel is close enough that the cylinder of appropriation of a well placed on the main parcel will overlap the ninth parcel. 3. Background: a. Parcel description information: The Subject Property is a combined total of 395 acres, in Jefferson County, generally located in portions of the SW1/4 of Section 28, S1/2 of Section 29, N1/2 NW1/4 of Section 32, and N1/2 N1/2 NE1/4 of Section 33, Township 4 South, Range 69 West of the 6th PM in Jefferson County. A map showing the general location of the Subject Property is attached as EXHIBIT A. A map from the Jefferson County Assessor’s office showing the location of the individually described parcels is attached as EXHIBIT B. Legal descriptions of the individual parcels that make up the Subject Property are provided on attached EXHIBIT C. b. Parcel Ownership: Applicant owns all of the overlying land and all water underlying the Subject Property. See deeds attached as EXHIBIT D. A portion of the originally deeded land has been subdivided and sold to other people or dedicated for road rights of way. Applicant only claims the right to withdraw and use groundwater underlying the remaining lands currently owned by Applicant. c. This application seeks a decree adjudicating all the nontributary and not nontributary groundwater in all Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Property. Such aquifers may include the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers; the actual aquifers will be those that are determined to be available underlying the Subject Property in accordance with the Denver Basin Rules (2 C.C.R. 402-6). d. Applicant certifies that Applicant owns all the Subject Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and that no other person or entity has a financial interest in the Subject Property. Accordingly, Applicants can certify compliance with the notice requirements of section 37-92-302(2), C.R.S. e. There are no existing wells in these aquifers located on the Subject Property. 4. Source of Water Rights: 4.

GOALS FROM PAGE 29

Mines’ Oct. 12 and Oct. 15 games, Mulholland believed just about any team could rise or fall in the final stretch. For its Oct. 29 Senior Day game, Mines will celebrate Seery, Josef Emge and Ian Kugler. While Mulholland, Rodriguez and David hoped it wouldn’t be Mines’ final game of the season, they wanted to use the opportunity to recognize everything the seniors have accomplished in their collegiate careers. “I’m going to put my heart out … and make this season last as long as possible for them,” David said. “Playing with them through the years has been such an experience, and a huge reason for why I’m here.” Rodriguez said the seniors are the core of the Orediggers’ energy, and their experience has helped both their teammates and the program get to this point. “Without (our seniors), we wouldn’t be able to do what we do,” he continued. “The next five games are for them. … I love them, and I look forward to putting it all out on the field for them.”

Mines junior midfielder Caelin David, right, vies for the ball over Regis senior midfielder Mitch Gordon during the Oct. 12 game at Colorado School of Mines. The Orediggers beat the Rangers 2-0, and were 3-4-5 going into the Oct. 15 game PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN against South Dakota Mines.
