County expected to ask voters for 1% sales tax Money to be used for Road & Bridge

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Empire doesn’t have an estimate in how much it will cost to clean up the lime, or calcium carbonate material, or how long it will take. Stein said the material will likely kill five to seven trees in the area, but so far, it hasn’t reached a nearby culvert. “If we have some major rain, that’s my worry,” he continued.

The Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners scheduled to discuss and expected to approve a ballot question Tuesday asking voters to approve a 1% sales tax to fund Road & Bridge operations and projects. If passed, the overall county sales tax rate would go from 1.65% to 2.65%, but wouldn’t apply to grocery purchases. County staff members anticipate that the 1% countywide sales tax would bring in $1.7 million in its first year. County officials have projected at least a $30 million deficit for Road & Bridge over the next 20 years; and since initial discussions in March, the commissioners favored a sales tax increase as it would capture more payers, namely visitors, who use county roads. During the Aug. 24 commissioners meeting, consultants said a recent survey found that found 66% of respondents would vote to pass a 1% sales tax. The survey also showed the residents were concerned about the condition of the roads and wanted to prevent costly repairs. The biggest concern about a sales tax has been the impact on mu-

Someone dumped concrete illegally in Empire BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An illegal concrete dump in Empire has damaged several trees and will require an extensive clean-up effort. While it is damaging, it is not considered a toxic waste dump, town officials have clarified. According to Police Chief John

Stein, sometime before the morning Aug. 25, someone apparently cleaned a cement truck onto town property on the northeast side of town. The property will be a parking lot for a future park. Stein said his department is talking to different companies to see who is responsible, but if someone doesn’t come forward the cost burden will fall on the town.

Alma couple sentenced for assaulting Idaho Springs couple BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Park County man has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to assaulting an Idaho Springs man last January. Alma couple Brian Kildow and Tobi Ferguson both pleaded guilty to felony assault charges on Aug. 23. The two were arrested Jan. 17 after an altercation with Idaho Springs couple Jason Bethea and Erica Carter at their Virginia Street home. The incident stemmed from a romantic relationship between the couples’ children. Along with the felony assault charges, Kildow pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and Ferguson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge. Kildow was sentenced to 60 days in the Park County or Summit County

jail, with a work agreement allowed. Ferguson’s jail time was stayed upon completion of her probation. Both have deferred judgment on the felony assault charges for two years, and are not to have contact with Bethea and Carter, District Court Judge Catherine Cheroutes stated. Kildow is also required to complete a mental health evaluation and counseling. Deputy District Attorney Steve Potts also anticipated seeking restitution, especially considering that Bethea sustained injuries to his face and head that required hospitalization. Bethea and Carter strongly objected to Kildow and Ferguson’s sentences, with Bethea describing how he now has permanent scarring on his lip and the back of his head. “They drove two hours to do what was done in those pictures,” Bethea

told the judge, referring to photographs of his injuries. “ … They’re not good people. I’m begging you … to give the maximum sentence.” Carter felt likewise, saying that Kildow and Ferguson owed a debt not only to her and her husband, but to society as a whole. However, defense attorneys Todd Barson and Jeri Katz argued that the fight didn’t start where or how the victims described, based on the room layout and evidence at the crime scene. Barson described the parents’ instincts for their daughter, as they were unable to find her on Jan. 17, and said Kildow and Ferguson didn’t come to Idaho Springs to fight but to look for her. “To continue the animosity does no one any good,” Barson continued. Katz likewise described the situ-

ation as “two families with a contentious relationship.” While their children are adults and can make their own decisions, the parents shouldn’t have any more contact, she commented. “Mr. Kildow made a bad decision that day,” she said. Cheroutes agreed that the case was difficult for everyone, including her, and felt that the plea agreement was appropriate, given the circumstances. She acknowledged Bethea’s permanent and serious injuries, but added it was her duty to consider not only punishment but rehabilitation. “Everyone in this case acted like children,” she said. “Adults don’t fight.”

A Golden gateway opens up Peak to Plains Trail section at mouth of Clear Creek Canyon opens BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the Gateway section of the Peak to Plains trail officially opened on Aug. 25, the Jeffco commissioners put a unique twist on the typical celebratory gesture: they cut a cable rather than a ribbon. That move, it turned out, was a nod to the construction of the trail as that actual piece of cable was discovered during the process. Clear Creek Canyon’s mining and railroad history is woven into the very fabric of the new trail segment, portions of which are built on the narrow gauge bed used by the Colorado Central Railroad. But cutting a cable also made sense for another reason. “The cutting of this cable symbolizes a new connection and new opportunity for people to enjoy the outdoors,” said Jeffco Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper. That connection will be between downtown Golden to the mouth of the canyon. It also represents the latest extension of the Peaks to Plains trail, which plans call for to someday stretch 65 miles from Loveland Pass to downtown Denver. Commissioner Tracy Kraft-Tharp said several architecture, engineering and building firms worked together to complete the new trail segment. Among the goals of that process were to use a “surgical construction approach” to ensure the trail fits well into the landscape, preserving as much vegetation as possible, and makes trail visitors feel as if the trail has always been there. “One quick look at the finished product clearly shows these goals were met,” she said. The two new trailheads feature over 170 parking spaces, permanent restrooms, shade structures, ADA accessibility, and sustainable design techniques. Additionally, this new segment of trail crosses over the first suspension bridge in Jeffer-

CLEAR CREEK’S PORTION Clear Creek County Open Space, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and Contractor partner, CEI, continue work on the Peak to Plains Trail, further up Clear Creek Canyon. The current trail segment project, which began in March, is between Tunnel 5 and Tunnel 6 along US. 6. This project consists of the construction a 1000-foot-long concrete trail, supported by various walls and structures. The $548,000 project is expected to be completed in December. While it is underway, occasional lane closures are to be expected, and the small lot near Tunnel 6 will be closed to the public. The first portions of the Peaks to Plains Trail in Clear Creek Canyon Park opened in 2016 and 2017, offering four miles of 10-foot-wide paved surface right along Clear Creek. son County, taking visitors along the restored wooden flume of the Welch Ditch, and offering water access at various spots along the way.

VOICES Rules and roles in an ever-changing game

f the game itself isn’t changing, the rules often do. Sometimes, any change to the rules could make the game harder to play and challenging to follow. We see penalties assessed and wonder why. Or we see very clear infractions, with no penalty called. There are the games, and then there is gamesmanship, and the difference between the two will often determine the outcome. Some of us love games, many referring to ourselves as “Gamers.” And then there are those who prefer some other type of entertainment or activity, the “non-Gamers.” There are some games where the rules have remained hard and fast since the game was invented. And then there are those other games being played where the rules change every so often. In the interest of creating a better experience, the rules change so that the game becomes faster, more exciting, or more challenging, all to generate greater interest. The rules of the game may also change as technology advances. When this happens the powers that be try and level the playing field by

changing the rules. Although many of us have learned to gamify our work and our activities so that we can stay interested, stretch ourselves, and perform at a higher level, not everyone looks at life as a Michael Norton game. And with everything that is happening in the world right now, it is easy to understand why. There are very real, hard, and painful situations and events taking place right now. Whether we are a “gamer” or not, somehow, we are caught up in the game and the gamesmanship of others. Directly or indirectly, we find ourselves in the position of the spectator, fan, player, coach, owner, or official. If we choose to remain on the sidelines as a spectator or fan, we will root for our team. We may even criticize the players, management, and ownership for poor decisions and planning or terrible execution. It’s super easy to second guess oth-

ers when we stand in the shadows. We don’t vote and then complain about who won the election. We watch with heartache the events happening in our community or around the world but don’t take any action to help. We have decided to be a spectator and life is not a spectator sport. Being so moved that we find a way to get into the game means that we have decided to be a player. We are no longer comfortable merely watching, we recognize that we have a heart for service and that we have the talents and resources to help. Some of us are built for leadership and managing. We see opportunities where others see roadblocks. We can help guide our community, co-workers, or family and friends as we come together to create a game plan that will allow us to serve collectively for the greater good. Being the owner means taking ownership. Ultimately the buck stops here. We own the problem and that means we own the solution. In this life, we can either hold ourselves responsible and accountable as owners, or we can pass the blame.

Eventually, a lack of ownership leads to failure. The hardest role is that of being the official. This means we stay current with the game and the changes to any rules. We have the difficult task of letting others know when they have crossed the line. We assess the penalties. And when we miss something in our role as official, everyone turns on us, the fans, players, coaches, and owners. Are you watching or are you on the field and in the game? Are you leading others in a constructive manner to be a part of the solution? Have you taken ownership of what you can control? Are you helping to mediate and be a peacemaker, brave enough to call the penalties as you see them? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we realize that we all do play some role in an ever-changing game, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Colo. unveils plan to distribute $400M in opioid settlement money Dollars would be split among state and local governments, including Denver and Adams BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Roughly $400 million in settlement money expected to be secured by Colorado from drug companies sued for their alleged role in the opioid epidemic would be split between state and local governments under a tentative deal unveiled Aug. 26 that calls for the money to be spent on building treatment facilities and bolstering prevention and education programs. The agreement, structured as a memorandum of understanding, still needs the approval of local governments to move forward, but it has the support of Attorney General Phil Weiser and top officials from Denver, Adams, Logan and Pueblo counties, which were hit hard by the opioid crisis. The deal would break up the state into 19 regions, to which 60% of the settlement money would go. The regions will have their own governing councils made up of local public officials to oversee the local distribution of funds. Local governments would receive 20% of the settlement money, while 10% would go toward building drug treatment facilities. The remaining 10% would be managed by the attorney general’s office, which would use the dollars to

create statewide strategies to deal with the opioid crisis, such as prevention and education programs. The framework also calls for an oversight board made up of six members appointed by Colorado Counties Inc. and the Colorado Municipal League, six members appointed by the attorney general and one nonvoting chairperson. The money Colorado expects to receive from opioid settlements is made up of $300 million from Johnson & Johnson along with three major drug distributors, Cardinal Health, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen. At least another $50 million is expected from Purdue Pharma, the creator of OxyContin, and from members of the Sackler family who owned the pharmaceutical giant. Mallinckrodt, another opioid maker, is expected to pay $25 million and $10 million likely will come from McKinsey & Company,

a consulting firm that advised Purdue Pharma. Weiser said the state could get additional money from other settlements, and the agreement provides a guide for how to spend future money. Weiser announced the deal at a news conference in Denver, where he signed the agreement and urged local governments to also sign on to the plan. He was joined by a cadre of local government officials, including Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton and Pueblo County Commissioner Garrison Ortiz. The opioid crisis “started in the boardroom,” Weiser said, with executives who wanted to “make as much money pushing out these drugs, which were highly addictive. “It’s time to hold them accountable,” he said. Hancock said local governments have spent millions of dollars dealing with the consequences of the epidemic, which has devastated families and led to otherwise healthy people “walking our streets like zombies.” The mayor told The Colorado Sun that the settlement money will go a long way toward helping the city’s medical and rehabilitative services recover some of the money they’ve had to spend to deal with the crisis. Hancock added that opioids have “exacerbated our issues and our challenges around homelessness.” Meanwhile, rural counties have struggled with different problems stemming from the opioid crisis.

Specifically, they’ve struggled to identify people who need help in sparsely populated areas. Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton said that there’s one mental health center serving a ten county region in the northeastern plains, and that people have to drive 120 miles from Yuma County to reach the nearest detox facility in Greeley. “The resources are stretched thin,” Pelton said. Prowers County Commissioner Wendy Buxton-Andrade echoed those concerns, expressing hope that the settlement money will ensure “our jails do not become the detox centers, because right now that’s what we have in rural Colorado.” Pueblo County Commissioner Garrison Ortiz told The Sun that one solution local leaders are looking at is a sort of “hub-and-spoke” model with a central treatment facility used by multiple service providers that have satellite offices in surrounding counties. Even as officials make plans for how to spend the millions of dollars in settlement money, Weiser noted that the opioid epidemic is far from over. The spread of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, has been driving overdoses as of late. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Local tow truck driver injured in I-70 crash

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Clear Creek community has donated more than $3,000 toward a local tow truck driver who was injured in a crash on eastbound Interstate 70 Thursday. Leo Voisard, who lives in the county and works for Allied Towing, sustained a broken pelvis bone and a gash in his right thigh, according

to a GoFundMe page set up by his family. He’s already had one surgery on his thigh and is scheduled for a second one sometime this week. Voisard was off-duty Thursday afternoon when he was on the side of I-70 near mile marker 231 trying to hook a trailer to his personal vehicle. A semi crashed into his vehicle, and Voisard was transported to St. Anthony Hospital by Flight for Life helicopter.

The semi driver sustained minor injuries, and Colorado State Patrol ruled out drugs/alcohol and excessive speed as causes in the crash. Voisard’s family members expressed their gratitude that his injuries were relatively minor compared to how bad the crash was, and they set up the GoFundMe to help him with unforseen expenses related to the crash. “So many people have reached out

nicipalities, and during the Aug. 24 meeting, staff outlined a mechanism to share 25% of revenues from the proposed sales tax with the municipalities. These funds could then be used for the towns’ road and bridge projects. How the estimated $400,000 would be split among Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire and Silver Plume was a point of discussion on Aug. 24, and the commissioners anticipated making a decision by Tuesday’s meeting. County Attorney Peter Lichtman said that he drafted language so that, if passed, the 25% of the total sales tax revenues would be divided among the municipalities proportionally based on where the revenues came from.

A chart showing how residents that have lived in the county for 21 years or longer was the most likely group of survey-takers to give the county’s roads and bridges a failing grade. CONTRIBUTED

However, Commissioner Randy Wheelock argued that municipal-

Leo has been there to help so many in their time of need, and we as a family understand how many people want to help him back.” As of Monday morning, 50 people had donated $3,850 — well beyond the $1,000 goal.

Ultimately, both Wheelock and Commissioner George Marlin said they were ready to approve putting a 1% sales tax measure on the November ballot, especially after hearing that 66% of survey respondents would support it. “The survey data is telling us that the climate is good,” Wheelock said.

IDAHO SPRINGS NEWS BRIEFS Two running for mayor this November Mike Kowalewski and Chuck Harmon will be on the November ballot as the candidates for Idaho Springs’ next mayor. Current Mayor Mike Hillman is term-limited. Kowalewski challenged Hillman in the April 2020 recall election, and Harmon is a current member of City Council. Along with the mayoral candidates, Kate Collier and Scott Pennell will be on the ballot as candidates for Ward I and Ward II council members, respectively. Collier has served on City Council previously and Pennell is a current council member. Phyllis Adams and Diane Breece are both running for City Clerk and

City Treasurer. Adams has led the Chamber of Commerce, and Breece is the current clerk and treasurer. City puts 1% sales tax question on ballot The Idaho Springs City Council has voted 6-0 to ask voters this November for a 1% sales tax increase for water and wastewater expenditures. After discussing the possibility for several weeks, the council approved it during its Aug. 23 meeting. The ballot question doesn’t include a specific end-date for the sales tax, although City Attorney Carmen Beery clarified that the council can eliminate it without asking voters.

Mayor Mike Hillman said that, if passed, the new 1% sales tax would help offset water and wastewater fee increases over the next several years. Such a tax would bring in an additional $750,000 annually, which would go toward paying off debts for the wastewater treatment plant expansion, upcoming projects, and general operations. Hillman said city officials would put together information sheets on how much of an impact the proposed tax would make. During an Aug. 16 work session, city consultants stated that a 1% sales tax would save a typical resident about $150 on water and wastewater bills in 2022 alone, and savings through 2030 would also be

substantial. However, council members pointed out that if this and the county’s proposed 1% sales tax for road & bridge operations both pass, the city’s combined sales tax rate would climb to 10.65%. “That’s a lot,” Councilman Jim Clark said on Aug. 16. “We’re nearing 11%. It’s such a double-edged sword.” While he wasn’t present at the Aug. 23 meeting, Councilman Arthur Caccavale previously described how he felt that locals were being over-taxed and wished things had been planned better to avoid this. “If we don’t get (the sales tax increase), we’re in trouble,” he said on Aug. 16.

of these (measures) are foolproof, but they lower the potential risk and likelihood of a massive outbreak in the schools.” As of Aug. 24, Ryan said there’d been 22 active COVID-19 cases among Clear Creek residents over the previous two weeks, and more than 80 people were tested on Aug. 24 at the Idaho Springs testing site. Ryan explained this testing volume was twice that of the previous week.

At that time, Hanning may accept a plea agreement, have his case scheduled for a motions hearing or trial, or his case may be continued. Hanning, who appeared in court on Aug. 24, has been charged with thirddegree assault of an at-risk person after he deployed a stun gun against an unarmed Michael Clark on May 30. Clark has suffered several medical complications from being hit with a stun gun, and has been in and out of the hospital since May 30, according to his attorneys and family members. At Hanning’s Aug. 24 appearance, both the defense and prosecution asked for a continuance to gather more information in the case, and the judge granted it.

NEWS BRIEFS Mask order expected for local schools The Board of County Commissioners was expected to pass a public health order on Tuesday that would require all students and staff to wear masks at local schools and require unvaccinated staff and student athletes to be tested regularly. Tim Ryan, the county’s public health director, said during the Aug. 24 commissioners meeting that there had outbreaks in the schools since the start of the semester, but that mask-wearing was helping to reduce the number of people who needed to quarantine. Ryan pointed out that Georgetown Community School, an independent charter school, wasn’t following the

same guidelines as the other schools. Thus, he asked the board to pass a public health order that would make requirements consistent across the county. He also recommended the requirement for student athletes to be tested at least once a week, even if they’re vaccinated, because of how frequently “they travel to other counties, some of which have no guidelines or mandates whatsoever,” as Ryan described. The public health order would provide an additional layer of protection for local schools, which Ryan said the school board members support. “They want to keep the kids in school for as many days of the year as they possibly can,” he said. “None

Book clubs offer venue for socializing, learning, growing BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Five women gathered in the Evergreen Library community room recently to discuss why, in this case, they didn’t like the book of the month. No one had much to say that was favorable about the book, “Tangerine: A Novel” by Christine Mangan, and they noted that was rare. Usually, they have mixed reactions to the plot, character development, scene-setting, writing and more, and the diverse views make for better discussion. The women are part of the Second Chance Book Group at Evergreen Library, one of the hundreds of book clubs in the metro area and throughout the country. Libraries, bookstores and anyone who wants to organize a group can get into the book club spirit. Whatever the reason, book clubs for all ages have become popular — both in-person and via video conferencing. Book lovers are thrilled that reading is fashionable, though they note that in-person book clubs are just restarting after being halted because of the pandemic. “We used to have 12 to 14 people in a book group before the pandemic,” said Pam Bestall, who leads the Evergreen Library’s book groups. “Now I’m thrilled with six.” Community, expanding horizons According to Cindy Jaye, programming manager for Jefferson County Public Library, book clubs create community and expand people’s reading horizons. “Oftentimes, it’s a great way to get

to know people in your neighborhood,” Jaye said, “and we all need community.” Arra Katona, JCPL’s teen services coordinator, agreed. “(Book clubs) foster community for people with common interests,” she said. “They develop a way to deal with conflict because they have differing opinions (about the book). They learn to resolve those differences and how to keep connections with those who share or don’t share their perspective.” Facilitators and librarians agree that book clubs can expand the types of books people will read. “In book clubs, you get to read something you might not normally read,” Jaye said. “It’s a way to learn new things and provides you with an excuse to read something out of your comfort zone. It’s good for you and fun, and it keeps brains active.” Bestall says her book club members help choose the books they want to read throughout the year, mixing fiction, nonfiction, biography and sometimes young adult fiction. Better world Reading books critically is so important, Jaye said, adding: “The more readers we have in the world, the better the world is.” Kerri Morgan, the special events manager for Douglas County Libraries, oversees the Great Books program, a book club that can be found in many libraries nationwide. The program has adults reading the classics and discussing them — something they likely haven’t done since they were in school. “There’s not really a format or outlet for adults to do that once you get out of an academic setting,” Morgan said. “Great Books is replicating an academic setting, but it’s less formal.” SEE BOOK CLUB, P20

True Grit Clear Creek volleyball gears up for season of growth BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Grit is a word that encompasses a variety of ideas, as the Clear Creek volleyball players can explain. It’s about pursuing excellence, enduring and persevering, and having a good attitude overall.

“Grit can make or break the season,” senior middle blocker Maxine Inman said. Freshman Pressley King, the team’s new defensive specialist, explained how with Clear Creek’s relatively small team this year, it doesn’t have as many playing options as other teams. Thus, the endurance aspect of grit is something the Golddiggers must take to heart, she commented. As Clear Creek volleyball kicks off for a full-length fall season, the

program picked “grit” as its key word for the year. Coach Karin Thomsen said grit is also about being courageous, getting outside of one’s comfort zone, and developing as a player and a person. So, her goals for the season are instilling her players with grit and seeing them bond as a team. And the Golddiggers have already hit the ground — or court, rather — running. The varsity team played its first match Thursday against Kent

Denver before traveling to a tournament in Estes Park. While playing four matches in a day was tough, Thomsen said it was the program’s first invitation and she relished the opportunity to play new teams. Overall, the Golddiggers are scheduled to play 24 matches this fall, and Inman said she was excited to play a full season again after last year’s shortened spring schedule. Roster-wise, Thomsen said varsity SEE VOLLEYBALL, P21

Students back to school - albeit briefly Students across the county have been easing back into the school routine. Earlier bedtimes, morning bus rides, afternoon sports practices, homework, pop quizzes and the rest. Georgetown Community School students seemed to be enjoying their first few weeks of class, as they took reading assessments, played math games and warmed up in P.E. class. Teachers have been taking students outside when possible, such as Lorray Singmaster’s thirdgraders completing their writing assignments and class read-aloud

“We’re enjoying the nice weather while we can,” Singmaster said. Some teachers in the younger grades saw a dramatic shift in class size from last year, such as secondgrade teacher Chynna Candlin, who went from 16 students last year to nine this year. “It’s fun to have such a small class,” she said. “I get to know them right away.” Unfortunately, a positive case of COVID-19 within the school would force the school to switch to a “full remote” learning mode the following week.

Preschool is still in session at the building because those classes have separate entrances, bathrooms and more, she said. Miller declined to provide details on the nature of who had tested positive for COVID-19. “We were preparing kids to go remote last week,” Miller said. “Materials and information were sent home.

It’s a fine art Annual festival has something for everyone BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Art lovers were treated to works by more than 90 artists during the Evergreen Fine Arts Festival last weekend. Thousands of people perused the booths at the Buchanan ballfield, enjoying paintings, ceramics, photographs, jewelry, sculptures, clothing, leatherwork and more. Each booth brought new treasures to admire,

and there was something for everyone. The Evergreen Artists Association’s 55th annual festival was once again a hit. EAA hosts the juried event, and the artists showcasing their work are both local and from out of state. Friends Lyn Lewis and Jan Nelson, both of Evergreen, have attended the festival several times, and they enjoy seeing the diverse and beautiful artistic talent showcased at the festival. Marilyn Quigley, an artist from Idaho Springs, painted a “reverse painting” in purples and rusts, explaining that this type of painting began in churches where artists

would paint inside the church so people could see the design outside. Quigley said she does 11 art shows a year and was happy to be in Evergreen for the Fine Arts Festival. “People are out and supporting local art for sure,” she said. Jenny Kerr of Phoenix, Arizona, weaved baskets using Southern longleaf pine needles, noting that she does many shows in Colorado, but she was impressed with the Evergreen festival’s huge attendance. “Everybody is so kind and interested in art,” she said. “The festival’s reputation keeps bringing people back.” Weaver Barbara Holloway from

Galisteo, New Mexico, has been hand-weaving fabric for 50 years. She cuts and sews scarves, jackets, vests and more. Holloway, who was part of the festival several years ago, said she liked the Buchanan Park location because it was more spread out. The event moved from Hiwan Heritage Grove in 2019. Artist Karen Dreyer of Leawood, Kansas, began traveling to art shows after her children were grown, and she decided to get involved in the Evergreen Fine Arts Festival. “It looked like a great place for artists,” she said. “Evergreen is a great place.” PRESENTED BY

Plus-size Littleton woman documents Kilimanjaro climb Film screening brings body positive movement to Elbert County

hand as she relived her hike up Mount Kilimanjaro. She provided insider commentary along with the documentary, describing the scenery, her fellow plus-size hikers, and the exciting milestones she hit along the hike. Each time she would see herself on screen, Hardman would gleefully shout out: “That’s me!” Hardman explained different facets of her trip in a Q&A interview with Colorado Community Media.

BY CHANCY J. GATLIN-ANDERSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The body positive movement — which promotes acceptance of all bodies of any size, weight or appearance — is gaining momentum in Colorado as plus-size women and men build confidence and take on challenges. The Aug. 5 screening of the awardwinning documentary “Kili Big” in the Spring Valley Ranch community of Elbert County, an event promoted on social media, offered a look at one Colorado woman’s experience hiking 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and her journey to defy societal odds of what big bodies can achieve. Kara Hardman of Littleton, a 30-year-old woman who identifies as plus-size and fat, climbed Kilimanjaro with 19 other plus-size, fatidentifying, or nonbinary people in 2019 with the organizations WHOA and Trek 2 Kili. The hikers call themselves the “Curvy Kili Crew,” a group of mostly strangers who came together from across the globe to conquer Kilimanjaro, considered to be the highest single free-standing mountain in the world.

Throughout the six-day trek, Hardman and the Curvy Kili Crew hiked more than 45 miles in roughly 40 hours, proving that people in larger bodies can achieve great feats. At the film screening, Hardman emotionally shared her story with those in attendance, explaining in detail her journey up the mountain, including her triumphs, struggles, and the community she built along the way. The majority of those present were members of Denver’s bodypositive fat community, “Denver Fatties.” Hardman sat among the small group, teary-eyed with tissues in

Getting started Book clubs come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from highly academic to focusing on one genre or one author, and more. Most libraries offer at least one book club, plus there are book clubs organized by neighborhoods or by friends. Morgan, for example, belongs to a book club in which members go for a run, and to slow the pace, they discuss a book along the way. She also belongs to a Zoom book club and another that has been meeting for 10 years. It’s a matter of deciding the kind of club you want to join and the types of books you want to read.

FROM PAGE 13

Morgan explained that if she’s reading a book for pleasure, she reads quickly without retaining much. Reading for a book club is different. “With book clubs, you’re reading for retention, you read slower and more closely,” she said. “(Book clubs) change how people interact with literature. It changes how you reflect on those pieces of literature because you’re being forced to read a little more deeply.”

What was your experience like as a plus-size person hiking one of the world’s tallest mountains? “It felt powerful and like not a single person could mess with us because we had the power of 19 other fat people standing behind us.” Did you have any struggles on your hike? “I got a food/waterborne illness, so that was difficult to deal with. It was also very hard mentally to breathe at elevation and continue walking hours on end.” How would you describe the community-building or bonding you did with others on the hike? “There was not much time to get to know people before having to be completely vulnerable with them during this new physical and emotional experience. We bonded quickly and I especially bonded with my tent mate. She will be my friend

Area libraries provide book-club descriptions, and most meet monthly. For those wanting to start a book club, many libraries offer book-club kits with copies of the book and discussion guides — a “super easy way to organize a book club,” Jaye said. Jefferson County Public Library, for example, has book-club kits for 325 books. Jaye advised people wanting to start book clubs to make decisions on what kind of club they want to start, and then everything becomes easier. She also suggested selecting books that have something “discussion-worthy” about them. Morgan suggested finding book club members with different life experiences because they bring more to the table during discussions. “Choose folks who will be comfortable sharing feelings and ideas,” Morgan said. “Sometimes it takes time to build that level of comfort to build those deep discussions.” Different perspectives At the Second Chance Book Club in Evergreen, Bestall, who has been facilitating book clubs for four years, said she sees more women

What advice do you have for plus-size or fat-identifying people who are nervous V to get outside and explore joyful move- C ment? p “Find a current or new friend who h is fat and go with them! Fat joy in nature is the best!” Hardman said she has always been passionate about the outdoors, even prior to her experience hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2018, she and F co-founder Arwen Turner created a company called WNDR Outdoors that “strives to increase representation of larger-bodied folks outdoors by creating technical outdoor apparel in extended sizes and by providing size inclusive events.” The “Kili Big” documentary recently won Best Jury Documentary at the Bentonville Film Festival, an annual diversity-focused event in Arkansas. The film will also be shown at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. To stream the film at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival in October, visit chagrinfilmfest.org.

than men getting involved. While most of the participants are older, everyone is welcome, noting that younger participants bring a different perspective. As they were discussing “Tangerine,” they decided it was a quick read, though it might make a better movie. They said it was a mystery to them why the book was classified as a mystery. They brought their own anecdotes to the discussion, relating personally to parts of the plot. “What I like about the library book club,” said Joyce Jefson of Evergreen, “is you get so many different perspectives. I have changed my opinion after hearing other perspectives.” Bestall said as a facilitator, she was not deterred by conflict. “Sometimes you leave book club without agreeing with other people, but you understand their point of view,” she said. Jefson added: “If you don’t read people who disagree with you, how do you understand other points of view?”

will have 10 players this year. Six returned from last year, and two freshmen, a sophomore and a junior will round out the team, she described. “I like the chemistry in the gym,” she said, adding that the young players have been sponge-like in absorbing everything and the older ones are stepping into leadership roles quite naturally. While other volleyball programs across the state are seeing a decrease in players this season, according to Thomsen, Clear Creek has the same number in the gym as last year and will be able to fill a junior-varsity and C-team roster this year. She was also excited to see so many family dynamics in the gym,

particularly on the varsity side, as she has the Inman cousins and the King sisters together this fall. Senior Olivia King and her younger sister, Pressley, are enjoying playing together for the first time. Olivia is stepping into the libero position, after three-year libero Zeda Taylor graduated last year, and Pressley is taking on Olivia’s former role as defensive specialist. Olivia, who hasn’t played libero since eighth grade, recognized that she has a lot to live up to and she’s been trying to get used to her new role as back-row leader. “I want to help the team as much as I can,” she said. “I don’t want to disappoint.” Both Pressley and Inman anticipated seeing a lot of growth this season. Pressley pointed out that, with five seniors on the team, the underclassmen will have to step up this season and prepare to fill those leadership roles long-term.

The recreation center is open again! While they tried to do a “soft opening,” word traveled quickly. Going to the rec center won’t be as it was before, of course. There used to be classes in the middle of the gym, which is surrounded by a long indoor track. Scattered around the interior were basketball hoops and exercise mats. Now, we’re told, we’ll check in at the

NOW HERE’S A TIP * Use club soda on a damp rag to wipe down your stainless-steel sink. It will help bring back the shine. * Fresh versus frozen in the seafood aisle: Unless you’re at the docks, most seafood in the grocer’s fresh fish case is thawed from frozen. Always ask. It’s much cheaper to buy frozen and thaw it yourself. * “My mother swears by wrapping her feet in a vinegar-soaked rag once a week to soften calluses. She does this before her bath, and uses a pumice stone to rid her heels of hardened spots on the skin. It seems to work for her, so I thought I would pass it on!” -- C.D. in Colorado * “If you need to keep your -year-old corralled in the bath, try using a laundry basket.

There will be no classes, no use of mats, no basketball ... but we’ll have indoor walking. This is the best news we’ve had around here in a very long time. Indoor walking, while not urgently needed right now, will be most welcome when cold weather arrives. Icy sidewalks send many of us to the

rec center, which was closed last year, to walk in winter. But, we’re told, we won’t be able to buddy up and walk with a friend, chatting as we do laps. We’ll walk alone in the right lane, passing in the left lane if we should overtake the person in front of us. No, we won’t be able to use the mats for pre-walk stretching (they’re stacked in the storeroom), and no, the guys won’t be able to play basketball (the balls also are in

The water flows in, but she has only so much room to roam. And it lessens the odds she could slip away from you to the other side of the tub. Always stay with baby from the first drop to the last!” -- W.H. in Texas * To distinguish all the cords plugged into a power strip, write the appliance name (TV, DVD, speakers, etc.) on a plastic bread tab, and attach it to the cord at the plug. A quick look at the power strip, and you can unplug any appliance without having to follow the cord through the jungle behind your entertainment center! * Save on children’s clothes by buying afterseason. Summer and winter clothes can be bought a size or two ahead for next to nothing. (c)  King Features Syndicate

the storeroom). So, why, if there are so many restrictions about using the rec center, are we happy? We’re happy because it’s one small sign that maybe, just maybe, things are inching back to normal. How will we know for sure? We’ll know, said one wit, if we walk into the rec center and the basketballs are on their racks at the center of the courts. That’s going to be our barometer: basketballs.

Ordinance No. 16, Series 2021 AN ORDINANCE REFERRING A BALLOT QUESTION TO ELECTORS AT THE NOVEMBER 2, 2021 REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION CONCERNING THE IMPOSITION OF A ONE PERCENT (1.0 %) SALES TAX RATE INCREASE DEDICATED TO WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS, pursuant to Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, the City Council of the City of Idaho Springs (“City”) is authorized to refer ballot questions concerning new and increased taxes to City electors at the City’s regular November municipal elections; and WHEREAS, the City currently has a voterapproved City sales tax rate of four percent (4%), with revenues from one percent (1%) of such rate being restricted to fund certain street improvement projects; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City’s existing and projected future necessary water and wastewater facilities will require a steady funding stream for the foreseeable future, which funding could be generated by increasing the service and usage fees paid by the users of those utilities; and WHEREAS, in order to reduce or eliminate the need to raise utility customer rates to fund future water/wastewater capital improvement projects, the City Council would prefer to pull such funding from sales tax revenues if sales tax revenues were marginally increased to be dedicated to that purpose; and

Section 5.
