A reverence for rhubarb
2022 Pine Grove Rhubarb Festival returns to its former glory BY MAYA DAWSON SPECIAL TO THE CANYON COURIER
Pine Grove’s Rhubarb Festival is an odd monument to an odd vegtable, and therin lies its charm. The 34th annual festival on June 11 featured a pancake breakfast, live music and all things rhubarbthemed. This year was the first time the event has returned to its prepandemic size, after a cancellation SEE RHUBARB, P4
Mount Evans Scenic Byway opened on June 10. Originally set to open on June 3, it was delayed due to a snowfall. Now cleared, the 28-mile byway is the highest paved road in North America, climbing 7,000 ft to 14,130 ft — almost the exact summit of Mount Evans. At the top was Eric Sullivan, a street biker from Englewood who biked the whole 28 miles for the first time. “I’m feeling great, a little tired,” he said. “The trip up here is iconic, I just did it to say I did.” Cell phone coverage is poor, so the county asks that people have timed tickets ready before approaching the entrance. Road quality also is poor according to the recreation.gov site, saying, “...the road is in poor condition and has no guardrails, so be prepared for slow and possible difficult driving conditions.” The site also warns that weather can change quickly, and “close any day throughout the summer due to winter-like conditions.”

Zipper artist coming to Evergreen June 25 and 26 Janet Petrell makes upcycled art using old zippers. BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Old, broken zippers get a new life starring in art pieces created by Janet Petrell, a unique artist who will be featured in the Evergreen Mountain Art Celebration on June 25 and 26. Petrell is a Tennessee-based artist who creates her masterpieces out of upcycled materials, mainly zippers. She got the idea in highschool while thinking of a 4 H recycling project. “I started this art form when I was 14,” she said. The zipper art quickly became a family affair, involving both of her parents. When her mother passed away in 2012 and Petrell was left with piles of zippers, she knew she

needed to continue to create. That’s when she started her adventures as a solo artist, and began to have her art featured in shows in North America and Europe.
“My mom still created until the week before she died...that inspired me to create as she did,” Petrell said. Petrell gets the inspiration for her art from the objects she finds to upcycle, and can’t plan a piece until she knows what materials she is working with. As an artist, Petrell does not purchase any zippers. People who enjoy her art donate old ones to her, bring them to her events, and neighbors even leave them on her doorstep. She also works with a developmental home that donates zippers, and she is able to return them to the home as a work of art. “When I ask the universe for zippers, it answers me,” Petrell laughed. Petrell enjoys creating unique art that can also break the traditional rules of gallery viewing. She invites people to touch her highly tactile creations. “Even stroking my art can be stress relief,” she said.

Having her art displayed in a children’s hospital, Petrell was told its presence was healing and calming for those in the hospital. Comments like that are what stick with her as a creator. “‘Your art really lifted my spirits’...that was like the most impactful thing I ever heard about my art,” Petrell said. Creating one of her unique pieces is time consuming. A 3 inch by 3 inch canvas can take 8-10 hours, a large piece can take months. Even with the long hours, Petrell does not leave any pieces left unfinished. “I’m not one of those halfway people...I finish what I start,” she said. Petrell’s zipper art will be on display at the Evergreen Mountain Art Celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 25 and 26 at the Evergreen North shopping complex.

in 2020 and a smaller event without a pancake breakfast in 2021. The event culminated in a parade, led by the top three finishers in the festival’s baking competition, dubbed this year’s “Rhubarb Court.” In first place was Angie Mach, who was crowned “Rhubarb Queen” for her strawberry rhubarb tart with frangipani almond paste. Not everyone attended the festival for the rhubarb, though. Music coordinator Ann Dam has been coming to the event for 30 years and spent the morning performing with her band, Dam and Friends. “This is an amazing place,” Dam said. “People are welcoming.” Booths selling crafts, photography and jewelry filled the event space, and the garage of North Fork Fire Station 2 was converted into an enormous mess hall, filled by an army of pancake-flippers and volunteers dishing out the event’s signature rhubarb syrup. The festival drew visitors from as far as Manitou Springs, making parking difficult to find in the small
town of Pine Grove. “They come from everywhere, expecially if they’re rhubarb afficionados,” Treasurer of the Pine-Elk Creek Improvement Association (PECIA) Debera Johnson said. The event is a fundraiser for PECIA and the North Fork Fire Department. PECIA uses its portion of the funds to improve Pine Grove roads that are not maintained by the county and complete the local Pine Grove History Park, which honors the community’s role in early railroad travel. This festival has grown far beyond being a fundraiser, though. Johnson’s favorite part of the event is how it unites the community of Pine Grove, where she has lived for 45 years. After the isolation of the pandemic and recent influx of new residents to the community, these connections are more important than ever. “There were people meeting each other for the first time that maybe lived two houses from each other,” Johnson said. Such is the magic of rhubarb. Johnson has high hopes for next year’s event and encourages any who want to be involved in the future to visit pecia.us.
Jennie Glenn dances to the festival’s live music with her hula hoop. Glenn is a Pine Grove resident who spent the morning volunteering with her daughter to flip pancakes.

INTER-CANYON FIRE DISTRICT BRIEFS BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Fire chief: Time to consolidate Inter-Canyon Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw made a plea to the fire board to seriously consider and move forward with talks on consolidating with three other fire departments on the U.S. 285 Corridor. “I have made it no secret that I believe we should be moving toward consolidation,” he told the fire board on June 8. “We are reaching a point where we are getting to critical mass because we are lacking volunteers.” He pointed to the last few weekends where sometimes first responders to emergency calls numbered two while other times response is 10. “People are on vacation, going to baseball games and doing things with their families,” he said. “We can’t expect volunteers to answer all the time. We are really there (in needing to consolidate). It’s our next step forward.” Inter-Canyon is working with the fire departments in Indian Hills, Elk Creek and North Fork to determine whether consolidation is a possibility. Consultant AP Triton, which was hired by the four districts to look at the feasibility of consolidation, said it made sense. Its 250-page report released in late December said a consolidated fire district would create a regional approach to responding to emergency incidents within the new fire district boundaries, balance resources and produce shorter response times.
Consolidation would take a vote of residents in all four districts, and fire chiefs have suggested that would appear on the ballot in November 2023. They need that time to figure out how consolidation would work, align the cultures and communicate to staffs and residents the logistics of a new department. In the meantime, the chiefs and members of each fire board meet regularly to discuss consolidation issues. Shirlaw’s plea came after the fire board unanimously voted to approve a resolution saying the department would continue to participate in an evaluation of cooperative services among the districts. The Elk Creek and North Fork fire boards already approved the resolution, and Shirlaw said he expected the Indian Hills fire board to look at the resolution at its board meeting this month. “We don’t have capacity of volunteers (to go on calls),” Shirlaw said. “Being a volunteer firefighter is a massive time commitment, and we are asking a lot of these people.” Nationally the number of volunteer firefighters is dwindling while calls are increasing, and Inter-Canyon fits with that scenario. Shirlaw said he tries not to have plans on weekends to ensure he can cover calls, and if he does have plans, he makes sure someone else is available. When Inter-Canyon has a small number of first responders, it can ask for mutual aid from another fire department to help respond to calls. Battalion Chief Dan Hatlestad echoed Shirlaw’s sentiments, saying that fire departments nationwide have tried recruitment and reten-
tion techniques to no avail. Board members said they wanted to dive deeper into recruitment issues and ideas, and they plan to discuss the subject at their 6 p.m. Aug. 10 meeting at Fire Station 3, 8445 U.S. 285. Inter-Canyon to begin deploying to other wildfires The Inter-Canyon Fire Department will begin making some of its trucks and firefighters available to be deployed to wildfires in other states to allow personnel to get vital wildfire training. Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw told the Inter-Canyon fire board on June 8 that the knowledge and experience is invaluable. Plus the fire district makes money by sending trucks to other wildfires. Fire departments are paid for the use of their vehicles and firefighters are paid for working at the fires. Usually, trucks and personnel are deployed for two weeks, and board members estimated the fire district could see as much as $20,000 for a two-week deployment. Evergreen and Elk Creek fire departments have been making trucks and firefighters available for deployment for years. Shirlaw said the department would make a brush truck available, and he was available for deployment. He said Inter-Canyon would only consider deploying during times when fire danger was not as high here. Board members were concerned about the department’s operation if Shirlaw was gone, but Shirlaw countered that the department’s
leadership is a team effort. “The leadership is not just me,” he explained. “It’s us. We have qualified, capable people who can step in. If our department has issues if I’m gone for a day or a week, I have failed in my job.” He noted if a big disaster happened while he was gone, Elk Creek Fire Chief Jacob Ware or North Fork Fire Chief Curt Rogers could step in if necessary.
Lot on Mill Hollow Road now in fire district A 10-acre parcel of land on Mill Hollow Road is now part of the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District. The fire board on June 8 voted to include the land owned by James Pearl into the district. Until June 8, the property was not in a fire district, though it borders the West Metro Fire District. However, the only access to the property is from Mill Hollow Road, which is in InterCanyon. Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw said there was no downside to including the property in the fire district. Pearl is planning to sell the property to Eric Simpson, who wants to build a home there. Toni Lucero, the fire district’s administrator, said Pearl had no idea the property was not in a fire district.
Riley named fire board treasurer Ginny Riley, who was elected to the Inter-Canyon Fire Board in May, was named treasurer. The fire board voted to give Riley that position at its meeting on June 8.

Why you should vote for Pam Anderson in the primary election
C
olorado faces the appalling prospect of having a secretary of state who has been indicted on charges of election fraud. Tina Peters, the current Mesa County clerk, is running in the Republican primary for that office. Should she win, and the political tide turns red this fall, she would become our state’s senior election official. According to Colorado Public Radio, Ms. Peters was indicted on a “laundry list of charges related to an election security breach in her office last summer that was influenced by former President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the 2020 elec-
LINDA ROCKWELL
tion. … The felony charges include attempting to influence a public servant, identity theft, criminal impersonation and conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation.” If you are a Republican or unaffiliated voter, you can put a Columnist stop to this. I urge you to vote for Pam Anderson in this primary, a race critical to maintaining Colorado’s outstanding election system.
Ms. Anderson served honorably as our own Jefferson County clerk for eight years, followed by several years as the executive director of the state’s County Clerks Association. Because continued free and fair elections are so important to me, I have made a political contribution to a Republican for the first time in my life. I cannot vote for Pam Anderson because I would not change my Democratic Party registration, but the majority of Colorado voters can vote for her right now. Thanks to a 2016 ballot initiative, unaffiliated voters may vote in the party primary of their choice — but only in one.
E
So grab that Republican ballot off your kitchen counter or coffee table, and make the choice for a true professional, one who will ensure that Colorado elections remain safe and secure. Cast your vote for Pam Anderson. Linda Rockwell moved to Evergreen with her family in 1982. She got involved in local land-use issues in 1984 and in the Democratic Party a few years later. She served as chair of the Jeffco Democrats from 1993 to 1997. Good government and principled politics remain her passion.
Why the will of the people doesn’t matter
I
n 1950 there were 24.6 motor vehicle related deaths per 100,000 in population. In 2018 the number was 11.7. This is a stunning 52% reduction. This happened because we have pulled out all the stops with multiple approaches: seat belts, vehicle crash testing, lower alcohol driving limits, stronger enforcement of speed limits, cameras and multiple air bags, lane change warnings and more. The lesson: do it all, saving lives is worth it. The same comparison for shooting deaths. In 1950…. 5.1 per 100,000 population and in 2018 there were 5.9. This is a 14%increase. Conservatives resist attempts to try to limit the availability of guns and progressives resist hardening schools. Neither will compromise. Why not take the “all of the above” approach? (Hardened schools, more training for police, tight background checks, red flag laws, assault weapons ban, weapon licensing.) The availability of mental healthcare among all people is also a factor. Red flag laws are meaningless unless there is treatment. The lesson seems to be that politics trumps saving lives.
doubt that the outcome would result in dramatic changes. But that’s not how it works. Here’s how it works. Christopher Louis Jacobs is an American politician representing New York’s 27th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. Jacobs served as the 62nd secretary of state of New York from April 2006 to January 2007. He was born in Buffalo, so it is not surprising that the recent racially motivated shooting in Buffalo in which 10 were murdered, was abhorrent to him. After careful thought, he announced that he would support gun control legislation being proposed in the House. The retribution was immediate by his Republican Party. He lost all support and endorsements by the party. He was informed that the Republican party would support a primary challenger who would adhere to the party’s position. As a result, he has joined 54 other U.S. House members who are not running for re-election, most replaced by more obedient newcomers. Representative Jacob’s views
would likely have been well received by voters in the general election, but those views would not be popular with the small number of Republican stalwarts who vote in primaries. In New York, only registered party members may vote in primaries and only 12% voted in the last Republican primary, typical of closed and semiclosed primaries. This is how it works. Follow the party dictates or you are out. Never mind that in this case most Americans want dramatic change. Perhaps some minor change might occur to placate the public and change the subject. I can’t believe our founders would approve of where the parties have led us. We seem to have lost the “of, by and for” the people concept. Jim Rohrer of Evergreen is a business consultant and author of the books “Improve Your Bottom Line … Develop MVPs Today” and “Never Lose Your Job … Become a More Valuable Player.” Jim’s belief is that common sense is becoming less common. More about Jim at www.theloyaltypartners.com.
On the upcoming primary election
P
rimary ballots are on the street and must be received by your County Clerk by 7p.m. June 28. If you’re registered as either a Republican or a Democrat, you’ve recieved your party’s ballot in the mail. If you are an unaffiliated voter (unless you designated wanting a specific ballot), you received ballots for both parties. Unaffiliated voters must choose which ballot to use as submitting both will mean neither will be counted. C
Let’s get serious about saving lives with a multiple approach attack. Please, no more tiny bodies to break our hearts. But wait…. In a recent CBS poll, 44% of Republicans believe mass shootings are inevitable in a free Columnist society. No other free society in the world has anywhere near the numbers of mass shootings we have in the U.S. The reason we don’t apply the “all of the above” approach to reducing shootings must be that we are not united in the goal of dramatically reducing shootings. In short, many are not willing to give up any freedom to achieve shooting death reductions. It is this lack of goal alignment that I believe is at the heart of why we will fail to make the necessary changes to stop the killings. If we were to somehow have the ability to have a national referendum on this subject, few would

Columnist
While there are some contested Democratic raises for legislative seats and local offices, there are much more robust races in the Republican party including selecting nominees for the United States Senate, Governor and Secretary of State. It can be
argued that each of those races are part of a fight for the soul and future of Colorado’s Republican party. Senate candidate Ron Hanks, gubernatorial candidate Greg Lopez, and secretary of state candidate Tina Peters are election deniers who are running on that issue and seem to want to push Republicans as far to the right as possible. Each of them received top line designation at the state Republican assembly. Their primary opponents, Joe O’Dea, Heidi Ganahl and Pam Anderson

Eminent Domain in Reverse
E
minent domain is the right of a government to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation. The owner suffering the taking is entitled to be made whole. At El Rancho, a developer intends to build on private land along Highway 40. He simultaneously seeks to annex about three adjacent acres of publicly-owned land through rezoning. As presently proposed, he would remove the taxpayer-and community-funded built assets currently sited on that annexed land. This is eminent domain in reverse. This wedge of state highway land, bounded by Highway 40, Highway 74 and I-70, has been the site of Foothills Fire’s Rainbow Hills station for nearly 50 years and of the Alpine Rescue Team for more than 30. At the corner with Highway 40 is the RTD Park-n-Ride lot, installed as part of the $10.4 million Evergreen Parkway

interchange completed in 1994. The public Rainbow Hill Road that serves these facilities and a CDOT maintenance yard was reengineered during that project. This road also connects Highway 40 to the Genesee Bike Path, completed by CDOT in 2016 for $2.4 million, to form the final link in a regional bike route. The proposed annexation of this land would displace, fragment, and diminish our centrally located, convenient and accessible community assets. The location of our fire station is virtually ideal according to the guidelines of the U.S. Fire Administration. Emergency services were sited there long before this area was developed, precisely because the site was the best location in this part of its district. It was last re-built in 2009 with funding from tax revenue and private philanthropy. Why should the public now tolerate its proposed demolition and
relocation to a demonstrably problematic site? Historically, before we had a dedicated, grade-separated, lighted and accessible RTD Park-n-Ride lot, carpoolers and commuters parked on the side of the road, in informal spaces, or across the street at the El Rancho restaurant. The development proposes razing this well-used lot and replacing it with 11 fewer spaces alongside the adjacent road, distant from the intersection. Why should the safety and functionality we have already built and enjoy now be reversed? Rather than building a private access road, the developer would appropriate the public Rainbow Hill Road, creating a permanent, quartermile detour. Residential users would collectively travel thousands of additional vehicle miles each month, and the utility of this route to cyclists would be compromised. Because it would be a public road through the
private development, taxpayers would fund its maintenance in perpetuity. Why should the public’s benefit be diminished while the public’s burden is increased? Why should the public accept these outcomes so that one individual can build another commercial property next to the private land already zoned for that use? A common refrain throughout this proposal process has been that this would come at no cost to taxpayers. To the contrary, the proposed annexation of this land for private use would squander the highquality investments the public has already made. The community would receive inferior substitutions and involuntarily absorb the long-term costs of this taking. The public would not be made whole.
I opposed the change that allows unaffiliated voters to participate in primary elections for the parties. I believe only party members should be allowed to choose their nominees. But I was in the minority and Colorado voters approved the new rules. As that is now the law of our state, unaffiliated voters can participate in primary elections. Unaffiliated voters who lean toward Democratic candidates but choose to cast a Republican ballot
have an interesting set of factors to consider. Should they vote for candidates who are closer to representing their views or should they vote for the more extreme candidates with an expectation that they will be unelectable in the General Election? While Colorado has been trending toward Democrats for the last several elections, the unpopularity of the President suggests that 2022 should be a better year for Republicans. However, which Republicans
win primary elections and how competitive they’ll be in the general election will have a significant impact on whether that will come to fruition.

Jeffco commissioner candidates Lesley Dahlkemper, Democrat Bio: Lesley has called Jeffco home for 27 years and lives in south Jeffco with her family. As your county commissioner, Lesley provides leadership statewide and locally on some of the most pressing issues facing our community including wildfire risk reduction, opioid prevention, economic development, early childhood education and more. Why are you running for county commissioner? Our family has called Jefferson County home for 27 years. It’s a great place to raise a family, start a business, enjoy the outdoors, or retire. As the gateway to the Rockies, Jefferson County offers a quality of life that’s unparalleled. I’m running for re-election because I believe in improving lives and building opportunity across our county. I have a proven track record of successfully addressing wildfire risk reduction, attracting jobs, supporting local businesses, protecting our public lands, increasing trails and open space, fighting the opioid epidemic, and promoting safe, inclusive communities. What is your biggest strength as a candidate? For me, success in work and life hinges on integrity, trust, and relationships.

Why are you running for county commissioner? I am very concerned with the direction of the county and the actions taken by the commissioners over the past few years. With the over regulation and everchanging rules stifling small business, their desire to raise taxes as the county and the nation suffers from the worst inflationary pressure in over40-years, to their decision to underfund the Sheriffs department, Jefferson County needs a leader who listens to them and represent their interests. I am that proven leader who listens to and engages with the community all while working to develop solutions to our critical needs. What is your biggest strength as a candidate?

Bio: Reggie Marinelli is a 36-year veteran with Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. Reggie has written and overseen policy, contracts, and grants. She assisted in the development of the agencies’ accreditation process. Reggie teaches statewide. She’s a national consultant for The Moss Group, teaching cultural change in reference to the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
Bio: I am a Deputy Chief of Police with the Arvada Police Department where I have served for 28 years. I’ve received executive training through Northwestern University, Boston University and nationally assess other police agencies. My wife and I have four children and she is a principal in Jeffco Public Schools.
In light of the recent nationwide spike in crime, without talking about the state, federal government or anyone else, what would you do to bring crime numbers down in Jeffco if you were elected Sheriff? It is my goal to centralize services within the county, allowing us to prioritize Deputies on the street. Using data, we will then deploy deputies into high-risk areas. We must also listen to our citizens to make sure that our areas of concern are in line with theirs. We will utilize evidence-based programs throughout the Sheriff’s Office, which will reduce the rates of repeat offenses. We will use performance measurements to guide and ensure progress with any approaches we implement. In the wake of recent, highly-publicized mass shooting events and increased gun violence, what is your position on Colorado’s red flag law? Would you enforce it? If there is cause to request an

extreme risk protection order, we will enforce it regardless of any personal opinions. Because families know their loved ones better than any officer, we should cooperate with the family whenever possible, but each case is unique and must be handled as such. We must do everything we can to keep our citizens safe, which is why I would like to see mental health services intertwined with this law. SEE MARINELLI, P12
In light of the recent nationwide spike in crime, without talking about the state, federal government or anyone else, what would you do to bring crime numbers down in Jeffco if you were elected Sheriff? Colorado has experienced a crime tsunami over the last 10 years. Over that time, crime increased by 28%; the murder rate doubled; there were record high fentanyl overdose deaths; and we have the highest motor vehicle theft rate in the nation. As the next Sheriff, I will work to make the County safer in a number of ways. I will insist that public safety be a priority in the Commissioners’ budget; implement data driven approaches to address crime; and keep highly trained SROs in schools. Through data and input from the community, we will spot and address emerging crime quickly. In the wake of recent, highly-publicized mass shooting events and increased gun violence, what is your position on Colorado’s red flag law? Would you enforce it? The Jeffco Sheriff’s office has a

MARINELLI FROM PAGE 11
Outgoing Sheriff Shrader was a vocal proponent of guns. He is in favor of both open and concealed carry in Jeffco’s parks and recreation areas. What is your position on allowing open and concealed carry of firearms in the county’s public parks? My position is that the job of the Sheriff is to enforce the laws that are in place, not just those they like. If JeffCo Open Space, or any other district, chooses to prohibit concealed weapons within their boundaries, we will respect their right to do so and enforce the law as it is written. In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge for both the Sheriff ’s Office and general law enforcement in the county right now, and in the years ahead? Community engagement and support significantly impact the retention of staff. The county is losing the expert knowledge that comes from having a seasoned work force. I will change that. The biggest challenge in law enforcement right now is building trust and engagement with the community.I believe that the best way to improve that relationship is to cultivate and retain the best possible staff. How do you plan to address those challenges? I will put our recruiters to work attracting the best candidates available. We will then provide them with the most effective training possible. We will develop the tools and partnerships needed to meet the expectations of our citizens, and to allow our officers to serve with dignity and respect. Following the recent tragedy in Uvalde, TX., disturbing reports of procedural errors in the tactical response were made public. What can the Sheriff ’s Office do to protect Jeffco students from experiencing a similar incident and outcome? While we should always learn from others’ experience, I have learned not to speculate on sensational headlines until all of the facts have been investigated. The people of JeffCo have learned all too many times that our focus should be on honestly finding out how and why these events occur so that we can prevent them in the future, rather than rushing to find someone to blame, possibly in error, only to suffer another incident that should have been prevented.
It is time that we partner with schools, mental health experts, and any other entity that can help keep our community safe. We must also be fully prepared to respond swiftly and appropriately when necessary. What do you consider the biggest criminal issue in Jefferson County, and what would you do to deter it? Although we have recently experienced several harrowing situations, I recognize that we are currently facing increasing numbers of auto and catalytic converter thefts. Property crime patterns and trends change based on many different factors. Those factors need to be evaluated, so we can deploy the necessary staff to high-risk areas, while educating citizens in how they can secure their property and prevent themselves from becoming victims. What is your philosophy of policing? Community Oriented Policing. I will form partnerships to collaborate with the citizens, other law enforcement agencies and organizations that are working toward the development of solutions to the problems within our community. I intend to build trust within the agency and all those we serve, working to protect our citizens, businesses and visitors from crime and disorder. Opioid abuse is a national epidemic and Jefferson County is not immune from this problem. What can the sheriff’s office do to address this issue? There are two aspects of opioid abuse that must be addressed. First is the education of our citizens to prevent substance abuse and the second is, access to treatment for those addicted. I will re-introduce behavioral health and evidence-based therapies for those in custody. I will support services to help people successfully re-enter society, and I will enhance programs already in place, where mental health experts collaborate with our deputies to provide support and de-escalation for those in crisis. Anything else you’d like voters to know? I have worked for the Sheriff’s Office for 36 years in every major division. I am ready on day one to take charge and lead this agency.

on the board of the Jeffco Economic Development Corporation, working with the many county-based companies to expand all while encouraging new industries to locate within Jeffco, I have the real-world experience and proven results needed to keep Jeffco competitive in today’s economic climate. Do you see the county taking a role in a Jefferson County homeless shelter? Over the past few years, Jeffco has seen a significant rise in the homeless population. Weather due to mental health issue, addiction, escaping an abusive situation or financial impacts, the homeless situation in Jeffco and the surrounding communities needs to be address. However, this should not be just a County Government centric activity. With all the great non-profits and faith-based organizations in the area, the county should work with these knowledgeable and experienced groups to encourage and promote an action plan. Non-profits have a proven tract record of providing services quicker and much more efficiently that government. Your seat incorporates sections of west Jefferson County (Conifer, Pine, etc.) where the wildland urban interface is a major discussion point. What issues specific to that area would you address? I am very familiar with the Wildland Urban Interface (“WUI”) and the associated health and safety issues that impact residents and business alike. We have studied and talked about the numerous concerns, and it is time to act and address these health and safety issues. Over 8-years ago, I worked with county staff, community stakeholders, residents and business throughout the county to implement the very successful and hugely beneficial slash program. This is a public private partnership that has led to the elimination of hundreds of thousands of yards of combustible material from our mountain communities. What role would you play in wildfire mitigation? I will take an active role. We need a leader who fully understands the issues, listens to the community, and who can bring together a collaborative approach to wildfire mitigation. I have been and will be that commissioner again who engages with the community, industry professionals, and stakeholders to develop and
execute on a comprehensive wildfire mitigation plan with stated metrics and deliverables. Our county is looking for someone to champion actionable solutions with measurable results and I am that individual. What are the two most significant issues facing the county today and how would you propose to address them? Crime and the county budget. The crime tsunami that has taken over Jeffco is in direct response to the underfunding of the Sheriffs Department along with a soft on crime approach taken by the county. This coupled with the confusing and ever-changing business regulations during the COVID pandemic imposed by the commissioners led to a devastating financial situation for many businesses in the county and adversely affected the county budget. In 2011 I led the county out of the economic crisis of the great recession without cutting services or raising taxes, and I can do it again. What one part of county government would receive more attention if you were elected? It is time our county commissioners work with our sheriff’s department and not against the brave men and women of the law enforcement community. This defund the police policy, publicly supported and acted upon by a few County elected officials, has proven to be a failed policy that not only has seen a rise in crime but puts the lives of county residents at risk every day. What is your vision for the future of Jefferson County? Jeffco is a wonderful place to live, work, play and learn. However, with the rising crime rate, increased cost of living, strangling and ever-changing regulations on business, and the aggressive approach taken towards our children and families for remote learning during the pandemic, this positive opinion has changed for many. Jeffco needs a commissioner who doesn’t hide behind video calls, who is not afraid to engage in constructive discourse, who takes action on items that are of concern for residents, and who represents the constituents who elected them. I am that proven leader who is ready to serve. Anything else you want voters to know? I am here to listen, to take action, and to earn your vote. I encourage you to visit my website at www. DonaldRosier.com and send me any questions that you may have to Donald@DonaldRosier.com.

ing outcomes in our community and statewide. As a commissioner, what would you do to support economic development in Jefferson County? As a former small business owner, I know a robust local economy depends on understanding businesses’ needs and workforce demands. My work with local Chambers of Commerce and on the Jeffco EDC Board ensures we’re attracting new companies to Jeffco, connecting employers and job seekers with the help of our Workforce Center, and leveraging federal COVID recovery dollars. Our online permitting process cuts red tape for businesses. I’m proud of our recent public-private partnership creating a renewable energy park to advance emerging technologies – bringing hundreds of new jobs to Jeffco and an opportunity to serve as Colorado’s renewable energy hub. Do you see the county taking a role in a Jefferson County homeless shelter?
Jefferson County alongside Arvada, Edgewater, Golden, Lakewood, Westminster and Wheat Ridge, in partnership with Heading Home, launched the homeless navigator program. Through these partnerships, we recognize that homelessness is a countywide and regional issue. The Jefferson County Homelessness Action Plan and an analysis for sheltering options further underscored the need. We’re focusing on the Housing Navigation Center as a model that can most effectively connect people with pathways to housing. As Jefferson County and our partners work through the details of this project, community involvement and feedback are critical. Your seat incorporates sections of west Jefferson County (Conifer, Pine, etc.) where the wildland urban interface is a major discussion point. What issues specific to that area would you address? More than two-thirds of Jeffco is in the WUI where development meets forested areas. Fire risk is exceptionally high, water supply is low, and population is growing. These issues are especially urgent for my constituents. Jefferson
County ranks number one in the state for property loss due to wildfire risk. I led efforts to harden homes, expand defensible space, and increase mitigation. Wildfires don’t distinguish between county lines. My work on the Colorado Fire Commission also focuses on lowering fire risk statewide in the WUI. We expect fast-moving wildfires will burn hotter and longer in increasingly dry conditions. What role would you play in wildfire mitigation? Appointed by Governor to Colorado Fire Commission, which successfully passed groundbreaking legislation and secured more funding in 2021-22 to reduce risk. Created and chaired Jeffco’s first-ever Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force to increase mitigation, community education, and funding. Allocated $2.8M in ARPA funding to reduce wildfire risk based, in part, on the task force’s recommendations. Doubled slash collection days for homeowners in 2022. Approved a seven-fold increase in thinning dense forests on 1,000 acres of Jeffco Open Space. Updated the county’s building and residential codes to harden new and existing homes by increasing defen-

Jeffco Treasurer candidates Jerry DiTullio, Democrat
DOGS WELCOME
FAMILY FRIENDLY
Bio: https://www.jerryditullio.com/ about-jerry-ditullio/ Why are you running for Treasurer? As you know, I was elected Jefferson County treasurer in the November 2018 election. Since taking office, my staff and I have been making great strides in improving several areas of the JeffCo Treasurer’s Office. Due to the 2020-22 pandemic, it has taken resiliency by me and the Treasurer’s Office to assist JeffCo taxpayers and to keep our County and special districts funded to provide vital services. What is your biggest strength as a candidate? In the 21st century, the public deserves accessible, experienced, engaged and transparent elected officials. I am that elected official – every day! I am always working for Jefferson County, JeffCo families, businesses and YOU! My commitment to you is that if I am re-elected this November, I will NOT run for another office mid-term. I am committed to serving as your Jefferson County Treasurer for the entire four-year term. Why do you want to return to work for Jefferson County government? I enjoy working with the public and working for win-win fiscal policy that benefits taxpayers and the County. How do you see the role of Treasurer working with other departments and offices in Jefferson County? In 2020, my department distributed CARES Act Funds and other COVID grants to local businesses and non-profits based on the criteria from the federal government and the Jefferson County Commissioners. I will continue to support and work with taxpayers and our special districts in 2022 and beyond. The Treasurer’s Office is the county banker and supports other county departments, such as the clerk and recorder, the sheriff and the assessor offices.

Anything else you want voters to know? The virus has affected taxpayers physically, mentally, and financially. Many citizens have lost their jobs, their businesses and/or have been furloughed causing a financial strain on personal budgets. Thanks to House Bill 20-1421 (https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb20-1421) and Senate Bill 21-279 (https://leg.colorado. gov/bills/sb21-279), which I supported and testified on, my department and I worked with taxpayers in 2020 and 2021 on waiving interest on late payments and accepting payment plans on property taxes for residential and commercial properties. We made every effort to assist property owners in paying their property taxes in JeffCo and will continue in 2022 and beyond. We are all in this together. Let’s do our best to protect each other and each other’s mental and financial health in 2022 and beyond – shop local and live local.

Event to include first-ever sober section, ‘over the top’ entertainment BY JESSICA GIBBS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The 2022 Denver PrideFest takes place June 25 and 26. The Denver Pride Parade will take place beginning at 9:30 a.m. June SHUTTERSTOCK 26. It will span 14 blocks on Colfax Avenue from Cheesman Park to Civic Center Park.
The 2022 Denver PrideFest takes place June 25 and 26 with a variety of entertainment at Civic Center Park,
101 W. 14th Ave., in Denver. Other main events include the Pride 5K on June 25, and the Denver Pride Parade will take
place beginning at 9:30 a.m. June 26. It will span 14 blocks on Colfax Avenue from Cheesman Park to Civic Center
This year marks the first fully in-person Denver PrideFest since 2019, and organizers are cooking up a “truly over the top” celebration to mark the occasion. The festival went virtual in 2020 and became a hybrid event in 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The last fully in-person PrideFest, which is produced by The Center on Colfax, had an estimated attendance of more than 525,000 people. Denver PrideFest will take over Civic Center Park on June 25 and 26. The lineup boasts pop singer Betty Who, the headliner on Sunday, as well as stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race — Kylie Sonique Love, Yvie Oddly and Silky Nutmeg Ganache. The Center’s CEO Rex Fuller said it’s difficult to predict turnout, but Pride events elsewhere are indicating this year could be big. Parade entries are also sold out for Denver’s SEE PRIDE, P17
Park. For more information on this year’s Denver PrideFest, including bios of this year’s headliners, visit denverpride.org.

festival, just surpassing 250, and vendor slots are nearly filled. “People really want to get out and they really want to be with each other and be in-person,” Fuller said. ‘Over the top’ DeMarcio Slaughter, the festival’s emcee of two decades, said he and the main stage team have three years of pent-up ideas and acts ready to dazzle the crowds. For Slaughter emceeing will include 16 custom costumes from his longtime design partner Darlene C. Ritz, and onstage costume changes. He is particularly excited for the “jukebox” sing-along he leads with the crowd, which will raise thousands of voices into belting everything from pop anthems to rock classics. “It’s an incredible, incredible thing,” Slaughter said. The sing-along used to be on Sunday only, but this year Slaughter will lead it both days of the festival. Slaughter is also working up a version of the singalong for Saturday that will acknowledge hardships people experienced during the pandemic and lives lost. But it will also take a tongue and cheek approach by including singalong songs that make light of some COVID-19 experiences, like running out of toilet paper. “Let’s not pretend that craziness did not happen, but let’s also acknowledge that we’re here today and ready to move forward,” Slaughter said. With a front-row view of the thousands who attend, Slaughter said he knows the Denver audience to turn out for a celebration of individual diversity and having “pride of who you are within.” “I expect to see good positive energy, smiling faces, dancing. I expect to see gladness,” Slaughter said. “I think the mood is going to be over the top.” Creating a more inclusive festival This year’s PrideFest will feature its first-ever sober section. Debbie Scheer has been involved with the festival for almost seven years. She has previously co-emceed the main stage and the parade, but this year is excited to both co-emcee the parade and help run the sober section. People might choose sobriety because they are overcoming addiction or because it’s a health-driven decision that a makes them feel better, Scheer said. Scheer, who chose to become sober roughly four years ago, said navigating Pride as a sober person “can be a little bit tricky.” She’s excited to see society becom-

ing more embracing of sober lifestyles and that this year’s PrideFest will offer “a safe space” for people who do not want to drink. “Hopefully our community is ready to embrace and support this kind of a space at PrideFest,” Scheer said. The section is located down the festival’s main aisle and will have a clear view of the main stage. Scheer said the section is very visible, and that’s important to her. “I think it sends a message that says, ‘you are an important part of our community and we’re going to create a space that sends a message of that,’” she said. A sober section expands who is able to participate, Fuller said. While some people come to PrideFest and enjoy a beer, “that can be very difficult for people who are in recovery.” “One of the points that we have put in our strategic plan for The Center is addressing issues of addiction and substance use in the LGBTQ community,” Fuller said. “It’s something we’ve had calls for before.” The national climate Fuller said a dramatic uptick in anti-LGBT legislation across the country and the controversy re-

garding overturning Roe v. Wade could influence this year’s events, “because of how that may indicate a rollback of LGBT rights to follow.” “There is a lot of importance of being out and being visible in the community, just because many people who are not part of the community suddenly realize that their friends and neighbors are affected by this legislation,” Fuller said. The festivals started in the 1970s to protest police harassment. Focus shifted in the 1980s toward addressing the AIDS crisis and calls for LGBTQ civil rights ramped up in the 1990s and 2000s, Fuller said. “Throughout the history of Pride events, there have always been some sort of pressure on people,” Fuller said. Slaughter said grassroots advocates will be able to highlight legislative accomplishments, particularly within the festival’s messaging as the weekend draws closer. “Because in addition to having years of built-up energy and songs, there’s a message to the community,” he said. The festival will celebrate a return to a new normal, and areas where there have been gains in support for transgender communities, young people and women, Slaughter said. “As we take back to the stage, we
are celebrating not only this return to in-person, but the education that the world has allowed itself to go through,” Slaughter said. “There’s a new-found awareness and accountability.”
A growing event A version of Denver’s Pride festival has been running for 46 years. The Center on Colfax started producing the festival in 1990, and it remains the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds help The Center function year-round, run adult programming, youth programming and providing mental health support for the LGBTQ community. “I feel blessed to have watched the LGBTQ movement” evolve into what it is today, Slaughter said, adding that what started as an event lasting a few hours on a Sunday is now a two-day extravaganza in Denver. “Twenty years ago, when I started it was one of those things where I covertly asked for time off work to work for this,” he said. Now Slaughter’s office jokes about not bothering him the entire week, because employees know how important the week of PrideFest is to him. “It just makes my heart smile,” Slaughter said.

Jeffco assessor candidates Scot Kersgaard, Democrat
Libby Szabo, Republican
Bio: Colorado resident since 1987, Jeffco since 2004. Real estate agent for 20+ years. Served as press secretary to a U.S Senator. Owned a newspaper,and a television station. Consulted with many Colorado cities and counties as well as such companies as IBM, Microsoft, GE, Oracle, Transamerica, Sun Microsystems and Ford.
Bio: Libby and her husband are Colorado natives, with deep roots in Jefferson County, where they raised their family. Libby grew up and the Szabo family has owned a family business for more than 50 years. Libby served five years in the State Legislature and six years as County Commissioner. Why are you running for Assessor? I am running for assessor to bring a balance to county government. The average citizen needs someone to advocate for their hard-earned money. For too long, the concerns of average citizens have been ignored. We need to remember the County serves its citizens, which provides the tax base that funds the County budget.
Why are you running for Assessor? I ran four years ago because I thought the office needed new leadership. In my first term, we have dramatically improved the website, and dramatically reduced the percentage of property owners who feel the need to file an appeal. We have embarked on an aggressive plan to improve technology and digitize the office. I am running again because the work isn’t finished. You don’t transition from decades of paper to digital files overnight. You can’t replace enterprise software quickly. Sometimes an office needs change, and sometimes it needs stability and continuity.
Scot Kersgaard
ing for the taxpayers is an honor and a sacred trust. How do you see the role of Assessor working with other departments and offices in Jefferson County? We work closely with the treasurer’s office to ensure they have the data they need to produce correct and timely tax bills. We work with more than 200 taxing authorities in the county to ensure that their boundaries are correct and their leadership has the information they need to set their mill levies. We pay for aerial photography to help us identify and value properties, and we share that imagery with every department that wants it and with every city, fire district etc. within the county that wants it — at no charge.
What is your biggest strength as a candidate? I have four years of experience running the office, improving processes and supporting staff in their efforts in imaging and creating the best possible assessor’s office. I ran four years ago as a change agent, and I’ve spent four years working with staff to develop and implement better process analysis to streamline our work. We’ve developed better data analytics in order to work smarter and more accurately. My biggest strength is identifying leaders and ensuring they are in positions of leadership.
Anything else you want voters to know? The ballot will show the party affiliation of the candidates. The job, though, is nonpartisan. There is nothing I can do to raise or lower taxes. We are charged by State law with valuing property accurately and fairly, based on the market. Every Assessor in Colorado is audited by the state to ensure that we do our jobs correctly. I am not a politician, but a technocrat. The job is highly technical, and must be done correctly. The Assessor’s office should not be politicized. We strive to treat each taxpayer equally whether their property is worth $100,000 or $100,000,000.
Why do you want to return to work for Jefferson County government? I don’t work for Jefferson County government. I work for the residents and taxpayers of the County. I consider myself a fiduciary of the taxpayers’ money. State law spells out the duties of the office. We need to do those things well, and do them at the lowest possible cost. The office spends less today than it did four years ago under the prior administration. In spite of giving raises and investing in state-of-the-art technology, we have returned $597,000 to the general fund under my watch. Work-

#
What is your biggest strength as a candidate? My biggest strength is that I am already very familiar with the County and State government structure. I know how things work and where to focus my work on day one. I can hit the ground running on your behalf.
Libby Szabo
It is important for county-elected officials to have a vision for the needs of our constituents. Citizens are who we work for. I will work diligently to make sure that the citizens of Jefferson County are of primary importance. Your team at the county will know that I hold the citizens of the county as my number one consideration in decision-making and will encourage them to do the same.
Why do you want to return to work for Jefferson County government? I have deep roots in Jefferson County growing up here I have learned a lot about the county that has given me so much and I choose to give back. I want the best for this county and my neighbors in whatever position I hold and have always worked diligently to prove that. It has always been an honor to serve you, my neighbor.
Anything else you want voters to know? My background is in the mortgage lending and financial services industry, coupled with my knowledge of what it takes to run a small business, means I understand the big picture needs of the Assessor office in county government. I will advocate for reasonable financial policies that allow citizens to thrive.
How do you see the role of Assessor working with other departments and offices in Jefferson County?

Jeffco clerk & recorder candidates Amanda Gonzalez, Democrat
Vicki Pyne, Republican
Bio: Amanda Gonzalez is an attorney and nationally recognized elections expert who lives in Arvada. She has served as a policy analyst, community organizer, staff attorney, professor, CEO and nonprofit executive director – always with the goal of creating more inclusive, fair, and transparent governments, businesses and communities.
Bio:My husband and I moved to Colorado in 1986. We are the proud parents of 5 beautiful kids, and grandparents to 8.5 amazing grandkids. We have a small business, I work for a non-profit, and am currently President of the Board of Directors for Apex Park and Recreation District. We have a small business, I work for a non-profit, and I am currently the President of the Board of Directors for Apex Park and Recreation District.
Why are you running for clerk and recorder? Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder is one of the most important offices in the county. The Clerk conducts elections, directs the county’s DMVs, and issues marriage licenses in addition to a number of other important administrative tasks and records keeping. As Coloradans have seen on the national and local level, protecting our voting systems is more important than ever. All Jefferson County residents deserve elections and government processes that they can trust. I’m an attorney, elections expert, and former small business CEO; I want to use that yexpertise to serve the county where I’ve lived since 2012.
What is your biggest strength as a candidate? For most of my career I have worked to build systems that protect the health of our democracy – a democracy where everyone is engaged, represented and heard. I’ve helped write and pass laws at the state level that expanded the number of ballot drop boxes in our state, increased the number of counties that offer translated ballots to voters, increase stransparency so that voters can better understand who is spending money to influence their vote, and helped keep guns out of polling places. I’ll bring voting and elections policy expertise while prioritizing fairness and transparency. What are your thoughts on recent controversies about election security in the country? Protecting our voting systems from attacks shouldn’t be a partisan issue. For our democracy to work, voters must have confidence in the system and I will work to protect the integrity of our elections. Colorado currently has some of the safest

and most accessible elections in the county and we should be proud of our elections system while working for continual improvement. In 2020 I ran the state’s largest nonpartisan election protection effort – bringing together Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters to make sure that the right to vote was protected for every eligible voter. What would you do to encourage more voter participation, and why do you think that’s important? Our democracy is strongest when we all participate. Every eligible voter should have a say in the people and policies that impact their lives. I would expand opportunities for community input, dedicate resources to community outreach and education, and ensure that Voter Service and Polling Centers and drop boxes are accessible to all voters – including people who live in more rural parts of Jeffco, people who live in parts of our community who are underserved by transit, and those who have been historically disenfranchised.

Why are you running for Clerk & Recorder? The Clerk and Recorder’s Office connects with every adult in the county through motor vehicles, licensing, recording documents, passports, or voting. I have lived in the county for 35 years, raised my family here, and volunteered in multiple capacities. This is an important office. I want to use my experience and expertise to improve processes, offer the best services possible, and improve the systems that are in place. That includes bringing back drop-in services to the DMV in addition to the appointment system, eliminating kiosk fees for users, and assuring a secure voting process for all registered voters. What is your biggest strength as a candidate? This position includes oversite of multiple processes. I am confident in my ability to oversee and improve these. Additionally, I have experience in budget oversight, program development, management, and policy creation and implementation. These are valuable qualities in a candidate. Most importantly in my mind, is a genuine love and appreciation of my community with a desire to make everyone feel accepted, valued, and heard. In taking this position, I want the opportunity to help people, to respond to their needs, and to improve the experience they have in the offices they pay for with their hard-earned tax dollars. What are your thoughts on recent controversies about election security in the country? I don’t think there is any question that every citizen wants a secure

and legal election. I am not concerned by people asking questions and wanting answers. I think questioning systems is healthy because we are then motivated to improve processes. When we are in trouble, is when people stop asking or caring. I do know, as a county, we can be better at cleaning up the voter rolls. This would not only assure one vote per legal voter, but it would also be fiscally responsible, and that is not controversial. What would you do to encourage more voter participation, and why do you think that’s important? I have five kids, and this is what I said to them: A lot of lives were lost to earn the freedoms and rights we have. A lot of sacrifices have preserved those freedoms and rights. It is the duty of every citizen to vote and have their voice involved in the work of our Republic. I also have been known to say if you don’t vote you don’t have the right to complain, which I say with a smile, but I am serious. Increasing community engagement and voter registration is a priority any Clerk and Recorder should have. Anything else you want voters to know? I have served six years on the SEE PYNE, P23

Why are you running for Coroner? As your Jefferson County Coroner, I am running for re-election to continue serving the people of Jeffco and to continue with the great strides that have been made since I was elected in 2018. The people of Jeffco deserve to have a coroner’s office that is professional, competent, and compassionate.

Sowing the seeds of appreciating nature Jeffco Open Space program encourages hikers to view old trails in a new light BY MAYA DAWSON SPECIAL TO THE CANYON COURIER
Colorado is home to 3,322 species of plants, and Pam Little knows many of them. As a Certified Native Plant Master with 20 years of experience leading tours of Colorado’s flora and fauna, the hikes she leads are something special. This summer, Little is working with Jeffco Open Space to lead a series of free wildflower hikes at trails around the Conifer and Evergreen areas. Each hike is two hours, with frequent breaks to talk about the different types of plants the group encounters. Hikers can expect to cover 1-2 miles on fairly easy terrain. For Little, these hikes are a labor of love. “I would be out here hiking by myself anyway, so it’s better to have people with me to share the information,” Little said. Little specializes in the documented historic uses of Colorado plants. On her hikes she explains which plants indigenous populations like the Cheyenne, Ute and Arapaho used for daily activities, like making arrows or tanning hides. For hikers like Fran Schneider, who usually use mountain trails for running, these wildflower hikes are an excuse to slow down and explore new terrain. Schneider participated

in a hike on June 8 at Alderfer/3 Sisters Open Space Park. “You just learn so much,” Schneider said. “As a runner you don’t stop and look, but here I’m stopping and really enjoying the surroundings. You just can’t beat it.” The wildflower hikes cater to newcomers like Schneider and longtime “botanical nerds” like Ron Hill, who attends as many of Little’s hikes as he can. These hikes aren’t only about flowers. Little can identify birds by the sound of their call and will point them out on the trails, and the group often encounters wildlife like deer, elk and even frogs. Their next hike will be Wednesday, June 29, at Meyer’s Ranch Trailhead, and all are welcome. Sign up for a hike by searching “Native Plant Programs” on the jeffco.us site. “Don’t miss it,” Schneider said. “It’s free, why wouldn’t you want to know more about where we live?”

We provide statistics on our website for the public and we are available to answer any questions. Anything else you want voters to know? I take my role as Coroner very seriously. I have been active, engaged, and transparent in these very turbulent, unprecedented times, to reach a higher level of professionalism and to gain recognition in the community, and among other coroner offices. I have provided safety, stability, and a high level of ethics in a time of increasing mass fatality deaths, and increasing demands and pressure from the public and media. I continue to advocate for the office and staff, and remain dedicated to my position as your Jeffco Coroner.

Fire departments learning to extinguish electric car fires Evergreen Fire/Rescue gets its first test in fatal accident
The driver of the vehicle, who was traveling westbound on Upper Bear Creek Road, died when the car hit a tree, and the passenger in the vehicle suffered minor injuries, according to a Colorado State Patrol spokesman. The car caught fire that spread to nearby grass and was extinguished primarily by fire extinguishers, according to EFR spokeswoman Stacee Martin, who was in charge of the scene. “The next part became more time consuming and intense,” Martin said. “Electric-vehicle fires are very difficult to put out.” She explained that first, firefighters put out the car fire before they

proceed to the batteries. During the accident, the battery box fell out of the bottom of the car and into a ditch, creating a makeshift pool so it was easier for the firefighters to use water to cool it. Martin said it took about 3,000 gallons of water and several hours to cool the batteries so the vehicle could be towed. She has learned that it can take 30,000 gallons of water or more and even more time to cool the batteries. With gas engines, she said, a fire can be extinguished in 30 minutes with less than 1,000 gallons of water. EFR firefighters are being trained to fight car-battery fires, she said. “This technology is so unique and
so new that we’re still learning together how to handle this,” she said. Inter-Canyon Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw agreed. “It takes educating ourselves on the new technology,” Shirlaw said. “We also get lessons learned from other agencies.” He noted that while firefighters practice extinguishing fires on gasoline cars, they won’t be practicing on electric cars because of the amount of water it takes to cool the batteries. Inter-Canyon has not yet answered an emergency call that involved an electric car on fire.
Work starts on trail at Stagecoach Park Evergreen Rotary adds bench there in honor of member BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A multiuse trail is coming to fruition at Stagecoach Park. The soft-surface trail, which will start near the Bob the Dinosaur sculpture and will be in a loop in the north part of the park, should be ready in a few weeks. The park is located along Evergreen Parkway near Stagecoach Boulevard. The work is being done by the Evergreen Park & Recreation District grounds crew. The eighth-mile trail will be good for young families, those wanting to take short walks or youngsters riding their bikes. “We have listened to the community, and they have been vocal about this,” said EPRD Executive Director Cory Vander Veen. “This is a really easy extension of the park. It’s a nice benefit to the park and adds amenities.” The original plan for the park was a full bike pump track, but EPRD learned it would be expensive to
No Clipping Required.
Carver said Rotary was able to work with EPRD to find a place for the bench near the Rotary Music Park. The next bench — once the group collects the requisite number of plastic bags — will be to honor David Rommelmann, a veteran who
was involved in many service projects before he died. “Because EPRD has been so wonderful to us, we have been helping with the weekly park cleanups,” she said.

build, and Jefferson County likely would require an additional parking lot. Grant money wasn’t available to help pay for the work. Heart Cameron, EPRD’s park operations manager, said since the work was being done in-house, the cost is nominal. He hopes the scaleddown track could be used for classes and community time. The trail will have some sloping hills, and Cameron hopes the trail will help keep people from wandering and trampling the areas among the trees. The crew is also making sure the area has proper drainage. The park already has a turf athletic field, a baseball field, playground and Rotary Music Park. Evergreen Rotary this week installed a bench in honor of the late Anne Field, a club member who was a therapist in Evergreen and worked with Resilience1220. Rotary earns a bench from NexTrex by collecting 500 pounds of plastic bags to be recycled. The club’s Community Service Committee decided that every time the group earns a bench, it will place the bench somewhere in memory of a deceased Rotarian, according to Rita Carver, the committee’s cochair.

Teens learn law enforcement fundamentals at Jeffco Sheriff’s, GPD youth academies BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE AND CORINNE WESTEMAN
Over the past week, students aged 14-18 learned how the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office operates during its annual Youth Academy. Deputy Dave Bruening, the student resource officer at Dakota Ridge High School, has been directing the camp for eight years. He understands the importance of making connections with students. “We’ve got to engage with the kids — the kids need us more than ever,” he said. The camp, which went from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. June 6-10, gave participants an insight into many aspects of law enforcement. The group experienced K-9 and SWAT demonstrations, jail operations, DUI simulations and crime scene investigations, as well as other patrol procedures. Each participant got a badge that identified them and gave them access around the buildings, serving as both a souvenir and a way to keep them safe during camp. Jaden Banister just graduated from Chatfield High School. This fall, she’s attending college to study criminology and forensic psychology. Banister hopes to someday be a criminal profiler. Banister came to the camp to make connections and learn more about the profession. She enjoyed the in-depth investigations and learning the class experienced. Denise Acosta also recently graduated from Columbine High School. She does not have plans to go into law enforcement, but wanted to get firsthand experience because her brother works in the system and she wants to pursue nursing when she goes to college this fall. Acosta said seeing “how criminals experience that lifestyle” was the most impactful part of the camp for her. On June 9, the students tried operating a Taser, under the supervision

of the Sheriff’s deputies. They fired at a target with the same Taser that would be used in the field, and they fired at an SRO officer wearing a protective suit with Velcro rounds that would not injure him. The group also got to experience trying on “drunk goggles” to learn about the effects alcohol can have on coordination and balance. The students tried simple activities while wearing goggles that simulated different levels of impairment, such as catching a tennis ball, walking a straight line and hitting a ball with a bat. Bruening said the camp aims to use the resources JCSO already has on campus, and all the instructors are either on duty or volunteering their time. He hopes an experience like this can teach the students the real parts of law enforcement. “The camp allows the kids to come see us and see we’re human,” he said.

Graduating from GPD youth academy While it was a jam-packed week, the Golden Police Department’s youth academy arguably saved the best for last. On June 10, the seven participants visited Ti Training and used augmented reality, projectors, and lasers to practice various law enforcement scenarios. Afterward, they returned to the GPD headquarters at City Hall for a K-9 demonstration shortly before their graduation. Golden Police Department has hosted the youth academy for decades, organizers estimated, although they weren’t sure exactly when it started. Anyone 13 to 17 can attend, although most participants are middle school students, Officer Derek Hall said. Like their counterparts at the JCSO academy, the GPD participants said their week included learning to shoot a Taser, crime scene investigations, a look at the SWAT and bomb squads, a tour of the JeffCom 911 dispatch center,
speeding enforcement, and wearing the goggles that simulate impairment. Trenton Jowsey said his favorite part of the week was going to the Golden Fire Department, where the participants started and then extinguished a grease fire. He described the experience as making a giant fireball. He also really liked watching officers fly GPD’s drone, describing how the operator put it in “sport mode” so it could reach up to 45 mph. Trenton said he’s not particularly interested in law enforcement as a career, but signed up for the academy because he felt it’d be something fun and educational to do over the summer. Conversely, Emma Weber’s interested in criminal investigations as a career. So, she really appreciated the opportunity to learn about crime scene investigations during the youth academy. She and Brigitta Schultz said they’d recommend the GPD youth academy to their peers, as it’s great experience if someone want to pursue a law enforcement career. And, if not, it’s “very fun and entertaining,” as Weber described. “You get to see what goes on behind the scenes, and put faces to the officers’ names,” Brigitta said.

Candy crush CONIFER – From JCSO’s “Strange but True” file: The owner of a black Jetta told deputies she’d heard a loud “bang” in front of her residence and came outside to discover that someone had broken her vehicle’s rear window with a red candy sucker. Bits of the infernal confection – strawberry, perhaps, or possibly cherry – littered the ground around the car, clung stubbornly to the shattered glass, and speckled the trunk lid like drops of fresh, sugary blood. The sweet treat’s little paper stick lay on the ground next to the Jetta like a tiny white sword of vengeance. Intrigued, but not yet sold, officers scouted the area for a corroborat-

The woman recalled hearing something she’d taken for a “gunshot” until she heard glass breaking, at which point she figured one of her movers had “dropped a picture frame.” Either way, she said, her sticky-fingered kids couldn’t have done it because they, er, just couldn’t have done it.

Up shoot creek BEAR CREEK CANYON – Suffice it to say her drive up from Morrison on the afternoon of May 15 was a bit harrowing. There’d been a long line of cars creeping along behind her, she told deputies, and the lumbering “semi-truck” creeping along in front of her was “weaving,” forcing her to “pay close attention to it.” Rounding the curve below Lair of the Bear Open Space Park, that concentration was shattered by a “loud bang.” Her first thought had been that “the truck hit the side of the hill.” A split second later the hillside to her right exploded with flying dirt and debris, and her second thought was that “someone fired a rifle” from the

The crime tsunami that has taken over Jeffco is in direct response to the underfunding of the Sheriffs Department along with a soft on crime approach taken by the county.

fice and general law enforcement in the county right now, and in the years ahead? (See next question)
FROM PAGE 11
provide factual information about the responder’s conduct during the contact.I will continue the current policy of the Sheriff’s Office. Outgoing Sheriff Shrader was a vocal proponent of guns. He is in favor of both open and concealed carry in Jeffco’s parks and recreation areas. What is your position on allowing open and concealed carry of firearms in the county’s public parks? Law-abiding citizens have a right to protect themselves and their families. These same law-abiding citizens should not have to worry about which side of the street they are on or which park they are in as to whether or not they can protect themselves and carry a firearm. Law-abiding citizens are not the problem and restrictions on their lawful and Constitutional rights do not make our community safer. Additionally, the ban in the parks would have been a civil violation and Sheriff’s deputies should be spending their time enforcing criminal violations impacting the community. In your opinion, what is the biggest challenge for both the Sheriff’s Of-
How do you plan to address those challenges? There are several challenges for law enforcement in the state to include record crime rates, budgetary issues, police morale, recruitment and retention issues. I will address crime through data driven approaches and insist that public safety is a priority in the County budget to support law enforcement operations and jail services. I will also advocate for legislation that enhances community safety. I believe in the mission of the men and women in blue and will support them by seeking competitive pay and benefits, training and an environment that advocates for their mission of community safety and protecting victims. Following the recent tragedy in Uvalde, TX., disturbing reports of procedural errors in the tactical response were made public. What can the Sheriff’s Office do to protect Jeffco students from experiencing a similar incident and outcome? Many years ago, my department, Arvada PD, began training officers to respond to active shooter events. These trainings include Single Officer Response, Rapid and Immedi-
ate Deployment (RAID); and Rescue Task Force. These trainings teach officers to respond as a single officer, or with a team of officers to address a shooter who is actively taking lives. Additionally, we work with Fire personnel to respond during an active shooter incident to save lives. I will continue this training at the Sheriff’s office and ensure that we have highly trained deputies who respond appropriately in these types of incidents. What do you consider the biggest criminal issue in Jefferson County, and what would you do to deter it? Everyday, deputies deal with five intertwined factors that create most of the crimes. These include drugs, stolen cars (105 per day in Colorado), property/violent crime, criminals with guns and extensive criminal histories. As Sheriff, I will implement data driven approaches to address emerging crime before it grows and keep highly trained school resource officers in schools. I will also advocate for resources that provide back-end mental health/drug treatment to help those in jail reintegrate back into society and common sense legislation that increases penalties for criminals who steal cars and have guns. What is your philosophy of policing? The role of policing is to serve and
protect our community.The first duty of a Sheriff is to protect citizens’ individual rights. Sir Robert Peel said, “The police are the public, and the public are the police.” Deputies serve the community to protect our safety and individual rights. The Sheriff also has the role through data driven approaches to detect emerging crime and address it before it grows. Ultimately, the goal is to build trust in the community whom we serve by effectively addressing crime and protecting people in a professional, ethical, and constitutional manner. Anything else you’d like voters to know? I believe people deserve to live, work, worship and play in a community without fear of being victimized. I’m running for Sheriff to protect our community, schools, churches, businesses and families. I’ve served the Arvada community for the last 28 years where I’ve built strong community relationships and have helped keep Arvada one of the safest cities in the metro area. I have the executive level experience to become the Sheriff and will implement data driven approaches to address crime. I’m humbled by the endorsements of so many leaders in public safety, including Sheriff Shrader. Please visit bradyforsheriff.com.
