Summer Jam music event returning in June Lineup includes Wildermiss, The Great Salmon Famine STAFF REPORT

One of Golden’s biggest summer events is coming back and this year it will pack quite a punch.

The Golden Civic Foundation has announced that its fourth annual Golden Summer Jam concert fundraiser will be held 5:30-9:30 p.m.on June 24, at the Colorado Railroad Museum.

In a press release, the foundation described the event, which features live music performed by bands with Golden connections, as a community “friendraiser and fundraiser” benefiting the foundation’s programming.

Tickets go on-sale June 7 at goldencivicfoundation.org.

“Following this past crazy year

of economic and emotional hardship, our goal with this fun, summertime event is to provide local residents with a way to connect and celebrate our very special community,” said Heather Schneider, Executive Director of the Golden Civic Foundation. “What better way to do so than to gather with friends and neighbors on a summer evening to enjoy some rockin’ homegrown musical talent, great food and beer while also supporting the Golden Civic Foundation and our local programming.”

Three bands are slated to perform at this year’s event. Opening at 6pm, Derek Hall & the Possibilities is a Golden-based band that mixes Country with Americana styles including original music and popular covers. Next up is a past Golden Summer Jam favorite: the Great Salmon Famine is a five-piece, high-energy jam band from Fort Collins the band consists entirely of Golden and Wheat Ridge High graduates) with

The era of metro Denver residents talking about “the dial” might be over for good now that several metro counties have lifted local restrictions and moved to what they call “level clear,” with statewide coronavirus data looking tentatively optimistic.

“We’re actually seeing some very promising trends over the past couple weeks based on cases and hospitalizations both starting to decrease,” said Andrea Buchwald, a research associate with the Colorado School of Public Health.

Colorado’s color-coded COVID-19 dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system affected capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Colorado originally implemented the dial last Sept. 15.

Last month, when state officials stepped back and let local health agencies take the wheel on most coronavirus restrictions, health agencies in the Denver metro area extended the “dial” system locally as a rise in virus cases and the continued spread of COVID-19 variants kept health officials worried.

MY NAME IS

REBEKAH CRANE

Genesee author tackles race, young love in seventh YA novel A career change Before I had kids, I was a high school English teacher and so I was well acquainted with young adult books mainly because of teaching them but also studying them in college, and just being a fan in general.

But then I had kids and we had also moved a lot and so I knew that I wasn’t going back to teaching. But I missed the interaction that I had with my students.

I had never written anything before in my life and had actually avoided all the creative writing classes in college out of fear. But one day I kind of on a whim looked at my husband and said `I think I want to try writing books and I think I can write stories that will resonate with teenagers and people in general because that time in our lives resonates with all of us.’ I think when we think of young adult books we really narrow it down and say these are books for teenagers but they’re really not, they’re just books about teenagers that a wide range of people read, me included.

Rough start I sat down and wrote my first book and it was terrible. But it was a great learning experience because I made so many mistakes with it and just really worked on it for almost two years. I kind of looked at it as my test subject on novel writing in terms of how to write, what not to do and how to maneuver the business.

But it totally bombed and never got picked up, it was rejected so many times and eventually I had to put it away and start a brand new project. And that second project ended up being my first book I pub-

ONLY THE PRETTY LIES Released earlier this month, “Only the Pretty Lies” is the story of Amoris Westmore, a girl whose relationship with her progressive hometown is turned upside down when her first crush, Jamison Rush, moves in next door.

One of the few Black students in Alder Creek, Jamison sees Amoris’s idyllic town through different eyes. He encourages Amoris to look a little closer, too. When Jamison discovers a racist mural at Alder Creek High, Amoris’s worldview is forever changed.

lished, “Playing Nice” in 2014.

Writing about race I found that teen readers appreciate as much honest as you can give them in a story and that is what resonates with them. They’re looking for something that represents their experience, especially in contemporary fiction which is what I write. And so that naturally leads into heavier topics because teens deal with heavy topics every day and they are immersed and bombarded with so many heavy issues at a really young age from social media and from carrying tablets and phones and having such easy access to information.

So I think it’s the responsibility of writers who write who represent that audience to represent those issues and all of my books deal with some sort of heavier topic, whether it be mental illness or religious beliefs or race or whatever it is that I am inspired to write about at the time.

I also think many people would agree that race has become very potent in our society as of the past four years for a lot of white people.

It’s been very potent for people of color for their entire existence, but I think many white people are waking up and coming to a new understanding and a new place of ownership in their relationship and walking through this human expe-

Her favorite YA novel For me, my all-time favorite that I always point people to because I have seen it be magic in a classroom is “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” I really think that it was one of those stories that came out in the late 1990s that really launched

young adult fiction to what it is today. To me that is really my ultimate novel where I am not comparing myself to it because that’s not fair but always reminding myself of what I felt when I read that novel and what I felt it represented to the teenage existence.

What Should You Fix or Improve Before Putting Your Home on the Market? Less Than You Think.

One of the most common questions we are asked during our first meetings with prospective sellers is, “What should I fix or improve before I put my home on the market?” I’ve written about this topic before, but the subject is worth revisiting, given the current market.

My advice has always been that you should only fix the “eyesores” and not make many of the repairs or improvements that you might make in a more balanced market.

So, what’s an eyesore? Simply put, an eyesore is something that draws negative attention from a buyer. But some eyesores are more important than others — specifically ones which help form a buyer’s first impression of your home.

In other words, your front yard, the front façade, your porch, front door and the first few rooms a buyer sees are more important than the condition of inner rooms or the basement. By the time buyers are deep inside your house, they either love it or they don’t, and if they love it, they’ll be more forgiving about a stain on the carpet or a loose railing that they see later in their visit. So definitely work

on cleaning up your front yard, staining or repairing your front porch and front door (if it needs it), and address any eyesores inside the front door. If the paint on your siding or trim visible from the street is aged, dirty, or peeling, you’ll want to take care of that, too.

Further inside the house, fixing eyesores is still important, just not as important. New wallto-wall carpeting is more affordable than refinishing hardwood flooring, but a wood floor that is in dire need of refinishing is definitely an eyesore. If a hardwood floor could use refinishing, but isn’t in dire need of it, I don’t recommend it. Re-staining a wood deck is an affordable task that eliminates the eyesore of a deck which sorely needs it.

Should you replace a Formica kitchen counter with slab granite, quartz or Corian? Not if the Formica is in good shape and is not hot pink. If it has peeling edges or burn scars, yes, replace it.

One of the smartest things you should do before putting your home on the market is to wash the windows inside and out. Since that requires removing win-

How High Are Bidding Wars Pushing Up Home Prices?

This is a reprise of my article on April 22nd, when I took a snapshot of closed listings on Friday, April 16th. This week I did the same analysis, and the day I chose was last Thursday, May 13th, to see how the bidding wars have evolved in just the last four weeks. The source both times was REcolorado.com, Denver’s MLS. As I did in April, I limited my analysis to sales within a 15-mile radius of downtown Denver. That takes in an area from Broomfield to Highlands Ranch and from Golden to Aurora. It does not include the City of Boulder.

I limited my search to homes, condos and townhouses that were on the MLS at least one day and not more than 6 days before going under contract. Those are the homes with bidding wars. I divided the results into homes which sold up to $500,000 and those that sold for more.

On May 13th there were 44 closings up to $500,000. The median home sold for 8.4% over its asking price. On April 16th, there were 48 closings, but the median home sold for “only” 4.7% over its asking price. The highest ratio this time was 15.7% for a home in southwest Denver that sold in 4 days.

There were 56 homes that closed on

May 13th for more than $500,000. The median home in that group sold for 8.1% over its listing price. On April 16th there were 68 such closings, and the median home sold for 8.3% over asking price. The highest overbid in this group on May 13th was 29.4% over listing for an $850,000 home in Littleton’s Sundown Ridge, which sold in 2 days for $1.1 million. On April 16th, the highest overbid was “only” 18.8% over asking price for a home in Westminster. On May 13, there were four homes with an overbid higher than that.

To get a statistically significant number of closings over $1 million, I analyzed the closings over a longer period — May 1-15.

The median closing was 6% over listing price. The highest was for a 1991 home in Denver’s “Hyde Park at Polo Club” subdivision, which was listed at $1,575,000 and sold in 6 days for $2,225,000, 41.3% over listing price. In the first half of April, there were only 68 closings over $1 million, and the highest overbid was 24.9% over listing price. This time there were six closings with an overbid higher than that.

In my April analysis I predicted that the overbids would get even more intense, and that has proven to be the case. I’ll keep up this analysis in coming months. Stay tuned.

dow screens, I recommend washing and labeling your window screens and putting them in your garage or store room.

The window screens can be reinstalled after you’re under contract and prior to inspection, because missing screens will definitely be an inspection issue.

When you invite one of us to see your home, you’ll want to know what fixes or improvements we suggest, and we will usually come down on the side of not making any repairs or improvements which aren’t necessary to get your home under contract.

The reason you don’t want to make unnecessary repairs or improvements — for example, replacing a 20-year-old furnace that works fine, or mitigating radon if a home test reveals it is needed — is that you need to retain those as bargaining chips.

Let’s say, for example, that your buyer’s inspection objection lists a dozen items including replacing the furnace and mitigating radon. You could agree to doing those two repairs but not the other ten items, and that would probably satisfy the buyer. If you’ve already replaced your furnace and mitigated radon, you don’t have those as bargaining chips and would have to address those other items.

Interior painting is another common issue. Let’s say your son painted his bed-

room ceiling black, or your daughter has a cute mural with giraffes and trees covering one or two walls in her bedroom.

Should your repaint those rooms? Maybe the black ceiling, but leave the mural — assuming it’s well done, of course!

These are merely general guidelines, and every house is different, and my broker associates (below) and I are happy, of course, to meet with you in your home to discuss what to fix or not fix.

The best thing you can do before putting your home on the market is neither a fix nor an improvement. It’s decluttering. We all have too much stuff, don’t we? Some of it should be taken to Goodwill or the Salvation Army (using our free truck, of course!). Other items should be put in storage, and we can usually get our clients the first month free at a local mini-storage facility.

Once we’ve agreed on what to do, you may be concerned about how to pay for it. Our clients have access to our handyman at the client-only rate of $25/hour.

For bigger repairs, we can help you with obtaining financing that could be paid off from your proceeds at closing. Ask us for details.

Tell your friends that they don’t have to get this newspaper to read my column. I send it free by email. Just ask!

Golden businesses welcome Level Clear Hiring challenges latest obstacle for restaurants

r

C a w J i l b

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jon Bortles had been looking forward to May 16 — and with good reason.

The last year has challenged his restaurant, the iconic Woody’s Wood-Fired Pizza in downtown Golden, unlike any other in its 27-year-history. But after a year involving pivots to take-out and a new focus on outdoor dining, May 16 was to be the date that he would finally able to do the once-routine act of opening his restaurant’s actual interior to a full house, for the first time since the pandemic started.

“It’ll make a huge difference for us,” said Bortles. “The combination of having our buffet back and removing the six-foot spacing requirement for indoors is going to bring us back to full capacity, which is hard to imagine after all of these months.”

But even as Bortles welcomes the ability to return to pre-pandemic operations, he said he still isn’t planning to do so just yet. Instead, he’s going to “leave a few tables out of our dining room” and still leave some partitions in certain areas.

All current sanitation protocols will also be maintained.

“We’re going to kind of ease into it and make sure people feel safe

t m a h t p

i a h m f r a L r and comfortable dining in,” he said.

The situation is much the same across downtown at Golden City Brewery, where craftroom manager Tamara Munroe said that the brewery is still planning to maintain many of the modifications to its operations it adopted during the pandemic. For example, the brewery previously operated on a “seat-yourself” model but adopted a host system that it is planning to maintain for the time being.

ALL ABOUT LEVEL CLEAR On May 13, Jefferson County Public Health issued a statement confirming that the county would move ahead with moving to Level Clear on May 16. In Level Clear, businesses are not subject to capacity restrictions, although they are still subject to indoor mask requirements.

Large facilities are also subject to certain

If hospitalizations surpass 2.0 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents over a 14-day period, the county will have the ability to reinstitute restrictions.

really fast.”

Munroe said the change to Level Clear on the state COVID-19 dial, allowing all businesses to operate without capacity restrictions that Jefferson County adopted as part of its reopening plan, will be particularly significant for her business because of its small interior space.

The limited interior area meant that six feet distancing requirements continued to limit the amount of people the space could hold regardless of which level on the dial Jeffco was in at a given point.

“It’s been pretty drastic first being shut down and only doing to-go and then having our capacity cut in half,” said Munroe. “Since we are mostly outside, most of the going from Level Yellow to Blue didn’t really change anything for us as far as capacity. Pretty much going to Level Clear is the only thing that is really changing anything for us.”

Meanwhile, Bortles said one of Woody’s biggest challenges was being unable to serve food using its standard buffet model.

Being able to reopen the buffet on April 19 has had “a huge, huge impact on us,” he said, perhaps even more than the return to full capacity.

“Our little kitchen was never meant to do a la carte to each table,” he said. “So even at 50% capacity it was a struggle.”

But even as Bortles said he is thrilled to return to be able to welcome more diners at a time when

people are increasingly eager to venture out to eat, he finds himself confronting a new challenge that is making it difficult to do so.

“It’s been unprecedented how hard it is to find people that A) show up to interview and B) are qualified to work,” he said.

Bortles said that while he understands the political arguments being put forth both by those who blame generous unemployment benefits on the difficulty he and other restaurants are facing with hiring and those who say those difficulties are because restaurants don’t pay a living wage.

However, he feels Woody’s pays “a very healthy, competitive wage thanks in part to a kitchen surcharge that he said is levied on all checks and helps Woody’s increase its pay to its staff. At Woody’s, entry-level cooks start out at $17 an hour and can make up to $25 an hour.

Bortles said there have been several nights, most notably the recent graduation weekend, when the restaurant has desperately needed “a few more bodies to help us through.” That situation has left the restaurant nervous about when it might be able to reopen back at 100%.

“This whole 14 to 15 months, we have been waiting for 100% and honestly never thought it would be hard to get people back to work, especially with restaurants closing and people being laid off,” he said.

“We never would have guessed we would struggle with staffing, but we are just going to have to try to hire and retain and pay well. We’re just going to have to figure it out.”

People eat on the patio at Woody’s on May 13.

Council considering parking permits near Lubahn Trail Trailgoers would be limited to small sections of Belvedere

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anyone who has tried to park on the residential streets around the Lubahn Trail on South Table Mountain knows what a challenge it can be. But that situation could soon change if the Golden City Council decides to create a new parking permit area that would limit parking along those streets.

The city council held a discussion of the proposal, but did not make any decisions, during its meeting on May 11. Any decision will now wait until at least June 8, when the council is set to take up the issue again.

One reason the council chose to delay a decision is to allow more time to develop rules for the permit area: Golden Public Works Engineer Joseph Puhr said that the resolution that the city discussed would authorize a new permit area but that “details of that have not been worked out.”

“So whether or not it’s an hourly parking permit scheme hasn’t really been decided,” he said. “The area in the map (with the resolution) doesn’t necessarily need to be the area of implementation out of

the gate. That’s kind of staff’s first take on how far folks would be willing to go to go walk some more.”

That map shows the proposed permit parking area encompassing most of Belvedere Street as well as the blocks of 18th and 19th Streets east of East Street and Table Drive west of 21st Street. However, two small sections of Belvedere Street that are closest to the heads of the Lubahn and Olivine trails would be open to parking by trail users.

Several members of the council suggested that the city needed to gather more feedback about the proposal from relevant stakeholders, including users of the Lubahn and Olivine trails and Jefferson County Open Space. Jefferson County Open Space owns and manages much of the land surrounding the current Lubahn Trail, including the Olivine Trail.

During the meeting city staff, the city council directed city staff to work with JCOS to craft an intergovernmental agreement for JCOS to manage and maintain the Lubahn trail going forward. City council would ultimately have to sign off on that IGA. Councilman Paul Haseman suggested that the possibility of such an IGA should inform decisions about the permit area, with the hours in which permit is in effect being matched to the hours JCOS trails are open.

“I think we’ve got enough assurance that we will do an IGA eventu-

ally that you can take those hours into account and use them as a parameter for what’s next with the restrictions,” he said.

Councilman Rob Reed said the city also needs to ensure that it has enough input to determine that it is simply not transferring the issues from one set of blocks to another.

Another concern was the need to get input and ultimately ensure

buy-in from Golden Police.

“I think to further that conversation about dates and hours we need to have that information about enforcement of that permit area,” said Mayor Laura Weinberg.

“Because just putting up the signs that say permit parking without the enforcement is rarely successful.”

Jeffco’s summer school plan

Council greenlights trail realignment While the council was not yet ready to make a final decision about the Lubahn Trail, it did direct city staff to realign the upper portion of the Lubahn Trail.

Engineers say that proposal, which was sent to the council for consideration by the city’s Parks, Recreation and Museums board, would address several of the trail’s longstanding issues, includ-

ing worsening erosion and a current layout that effectively invites people onto private property.

Golden Parks Director Rod Tarullo said the project will likely cost $150,000 to $175,000. Tarullo said funding for the project is available in the city’s Conservation Trust Fund for Lubahn, which led the city council to direct that the project go forward this year.

“Given that the trails and open space are expected to have another record year of visitation, my preference is we do the work as soon as possible,” Weinberg said.

After surviving what’s arguably been the strangest school year in modern history, this year’s summer learning options will be a bit different as well.

Asked about the District’s plans for summer, Cameron Bell, Jeffco’s public information officer, said currently, plans are on a school-byschool basis.

The district’s website says, “Summer school options are varied and structured to meet different needs at different locations; some are academic while others are enrichmentbased.”

Parents are encouraged to reach out to a principal, secretary, counselor or teacher to find out if there is summer programming at their child’s school or nearby.

Some elementary schools will offer summer school for students who attend that school.

For students in high school who need credit recovery, there will be regional options that will operate on an in-person hybrid model. There will also be a virtual option open to high school students from all regions.

North: A north area high school credit recovery program will be offered at Arvada West High School June 7-July 16. Registration is open through May 28, with an orientation scheduled for June 7.

South: Two south area summer sessions are offered at Columbine

High School. Session one will run from June 1-24, with orientation scheduled for June 1. Session two will run from July 12-30, with orientation scheduled for July 12.

Registration for both south sessions is open through May 28.

Central: Central area students can attend a credit recovery session at Wheat Ridge High School. The program will run from June 1-24, with orientation June 1. Online registration for the Central session will be open through May 31.

Mountain: Mountain area students will be offered a credit recovery session at Conifer High School, running from June 1-24, with orientation scheduled for June 1. Online registration for the Mountain session is open through May 28.

Jeffco is not the only metro area district taking this approach. Douglas County School District’s website states they are offering summer school “for students who have been identified by their school as those who would benefit from additional support heading into the next school year.”

Still, with no unified, district-wide plan, finding information about summer-school options available for specific grade levels and locations is not easy. Some of Jeffco’s individual school websites prominently display summer school information on their home page, while others have no information or in difficult-to-find spots.

A tribute to service Field of Honor allows people to honor military, others who make an impression

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Forty American flags stand proudly in the field next to the Evergreen Elks Lodge, signifying those who gave thanks to those who have served in the military and more.

The flags, which will fly until June 14, are part of the eighth annual Field of Honor, and the flag-placing ceremony was May 15. Evergreen Elks Lodge 2363, assisted by Evergreen’s American Legion Post 2001, conducts the annual event.

“Today’s gathering is to honor those who have made an impression on us,” the event program said.

Cynthia Barclay emceed the ceremony in which she read the names of the people being honored and comments from their loved ones. She also provided information about the Korean War, and veterans from that war were special honorees.

The reasons people dedicated

flags ranged from honoring those who served in the military to being a great sibling, parent or spouse and more.

The Field of Honor, which first started at the Evergreen Elks Lodge in 2014, came to the area from Alma, Michigan, courtesy of past Exalted Ruler Jack Schnepp.

Tom Root, the Colorado Elks Association’s first vice president, read an essay called “What the Flag Means to Me” written by Army veteran Gordon Elwell.

The essay said, in part, “The flag is a symbol of everything I believe in — my core values of life, liberty, limb and the pursuit of happiness. … The flag means a lot to me. It represents love and freedom. … If you dream, you can achieve in America, and that’s pretty special to me.”

Scott and Kristi Moriarty attended to show appreciation for their dads, who served in the Army in World War II. Scott’s dad, John Edward Moriarty, was a sergeant in the Pacific, while Kristi’s dad, Ramon Howard Peterson, served in Germany.

The couple have participated in the Field of Honor in the past, noting that they appreciated a public way to honor their fathers for their service.

“I like to drive by and see the flags flying,” Scott said.

Wildfires across the West: Lessons for the Foothills

A

s wildfires raged across the western United States, destroying homes and lives, the fires left behind a curious checkerboard of destruction.

One neighborhood was reduced to ashes and twisted metal. But houses nearby suffered little more than scorched grass and singed trees.

Many of the homes that survived had little flammable brush in the area immediately around them. But others had dry grass and shrubs within feet of the walls. Often, those are the ones that unfortunately were lost to the fire.

The difference between a surviving house and a charred hull could come down to details as small as screens over attic vents, trimmed trees or pine needles in the gutters.

Scientists have gained a whole new understanding of factors that can help a home survive a wildfire.

And it turns out that saving a house has less to do with stopping a forest fire cold or creating a nonflammable moonscape for a hundred

belief — one often still widely held by the public — that a wildfire’s dramatic, towering flames march through a neighborhood, incinerating buildings in their path. But firebrands can shower a house that’s situated a quarter mile or more from a wildfire.

Wildfire home fire losses differ from typical residential fire losses.

Residential fires usually involve one structure with a partial loss, wildfires in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) can result in hundreds of totally destroyed homes. Particularly during severe WUI fires, multiple homes can ignite in a very short time. The usual result is that a home either survives or is totally destroyed; only a few structures incur partial damage.

The WUI fire commonly originates in wildland fuels. During dry, windy conditions in areas with continuous fine fuels, a wildland fire can spread rapidly, outpacing the initial attack of firefighters. If residences arc nearby, a wildland fire can expose numerous homes to firebrands.

feet in every direcGUEST tion. It’s more about COLUMN lots of minor modiDaniel Hatlestad fications and regular maintenance.

As wildfires grow bigger and more intense — the product of drought, disease, climate change, and buildup of flammable material from decades of extinguishing nearly all fires — and annual federal spending on firefighting surpasses $1 billion, the new science of fireproofing has some experts asking if federal, state and local agencies should be steering more money toward making homes and communities fire resistant.

The tiny embers, or firebrands, as they are known among firefighters are often the culprits. Blown far from a wildfire by the wind, these bits of burning debris can wreak havoc if they collect in flammable spots around a house: a gutter filled with pine needles, an unscreened vent leading into an attic, or a trash can left open against a wall.

That’s different from an older

O

A rapidly spreading wildland fire coupled with highly ignitable homes can cause many homes to burn simultaneously.

This wildfire involving many homes can overwhelm fire protection capabilities. Severe WUI fires can destroy whole neighborhoods in a few hours. Whether a home survives depends initially on whether it ignites. Home survival begins with attention to the factors that influence ignition.

Each year more Americans move into WUI: zones, including the foothills of the Front Range, where human habitation meets forests or grasslands. Many wildfires start in such places; under the right conditions, flames or embers can easily spread to nearby homes. Fortunately, there are ways to make a house in those zones less vulnerable to fire, from the choice of building materials to the landscaping decisions: 1. Improve the roof – Fire-resistant ceramic tiles, slate or composition SEE WILDFIRES, P15

ell, I guess it’s over now.

Except for the political posturing.

Mask mandates are ending. Public gatherHITTING ings are legal again.

HOME Students are even being allowed to (gasp) play with their friends at recess.

Our long national nightmare is over.

All that’s left now is to tally up all the things we’ve lost.

Oh, wait. What?

Michael Alcorn You still want to wear a mask just so nobody mistakes you for a Republican? Or you refuse to wear a mask indoors when asked to so nobody mistakes you for a Democrat?

See what I mean about the political posturing?

And, crazily, it’s still happening at the highest levels of government. Dr. Anthony Fauci took a high profile photo this week with a couple of kids celebrating their college graduation—outdoors — and he put his mask on for it, in spite of new guidance from the CDC and the fact that he was immunized four months ago.

Which, I guess, isn’t quite as ridiculous as President Biden continuing to wear his mask ... for Zoom meet-

ings ... up until last week.

Optics are one thing, and I totally understand; but if the message you’re desperate to communicate is that vaccines are good, then act like the stupid vaccine has done some good.

Which, but the way, is still not quite as nutty as those who refuse to get the vaccine. I understand that, too — everybody thought Propecia was just a good way to grow hair. Until much later, when side effects kicked in.

But the known short-term side effect of not getting the vaccine is death, so… If your message is “America is great,” then celebrate that by accepting the product of a couple of great American pharmaceutical companies and be free of this.

After all this time, all of our technology, all the posturing, obfuscation, sensationalizing, and dying, you know what we know about the virus? That it is primarily — nearly exclusively — transmitted through prolonged indoor contact. Same thing we thought we knew last May. You know what else we know? That the vaccine works remarkably well, with relatively few side effects. What we’ve all been hoping for since last May. It’s impossible to say now if, had we been more diligent about what matters and stopped spending so much

But what is almost certain is that we could have come through this without it forcing all of us into our tribal corners. It was really nice, almost idyllic, for that short space of time last year when “we’re all in this together” was an actual, real thing.

The 8 o’clock yells in support of first responders and medical front-line workers… for a brief spell, we were all Americans.

And that’s assuming anybody is even trying to remove it.

So among the things we need to add to the list of “things we’ve lost” — somewhere well below the 600,000 fellow Americans who have died — should go our sense of national cohesion, our trust in science, and our belief that politicians of any stripe really do things for the right reasons.

Keeping it wild on the World Wide Web

nce in a while something catches my eye and sparks my imagination. Often times it’s putting two and two together and getting some AVENUE other number than four. I tend to think FLASHES a little bit farther outside the box than most people.

Case in point was putting last week’s fugitive tiger adventure in Houston together with a monthly event hosted by the John Akal Jefferson County Public Libraries.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, our county libraries have a whole bunch of cool virtual events that you can log into. I know that we are getting past all the COVID restrictions and looking forward to getting outside in the sunshine once again, but you may want to take advantage of some of these little programs while they last. There’s something for every age group and you can just go to www.jeffcolibrary.com to check them out.

So, as I was perusing the upcoming

programs, one caught my eye. It’s called the Virtual Pet Show and Tell, which they host on the last Friday of the month. Basically, you log in at 10:30 a.m. and they have a guest or two there to tell a story about one of their pets and show it off to everyone while teaching a little something about the animal. It’s geared for grade school kids and this month’s subject will be Groovy Goats on May 28.

Well, I guess there are people who keep goats for pets. I think they elected one as mayor in one of our mountain towns a while back. No wait, that was the town dog in Ward.

That’s a whole different story. In any case, a goat is a little bit more unusual than what you usually find in a household.

Well, with the story of the pet tiger running loose in Texas last week fresh in my mind, I started imagining what exotic pets the people around here might be keeping in their basements that no one knows about and picturing them bringing them to the local library for show and tell. Over the many years I have lived here, I’ve known quite a few people that kept things a little more extreme than a canary. Some are still

OK, full transparency here, I was the guy who owned the coati mundi back in high school and I used to work as a docent at the Denver Zoo, so I probably ran into a few more strange pets than most people.

I don’t know. For some reason I just can’t get the image of someone scheduled for one of these show and tell sessions with a pet snake, then arriving and trying to wrangle an 18 ft. anaconda or python on a webcam.

“Oh, don’t worry, she’s harmless.”

Then proceeding to talk about how it eats a whole pig or something once a month. Now that I’ve piqued your interest you might want to keep an eye out to see what they come up with when they get past the normal domesticated animal varieties and

have something like “Unleash the Kraken!”

Yeah, I tend to think way outside the box.

Meanwhile, spring is here and this weekend has something special for all of you gardeners out there. It’s a Spring Plant Sale hosted by and benefiting the BGOLDN organization. The group runs a terrific food bank here in town and are using this event as a fundraiser. It’s going to be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Saturday, May 22. Also 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Sunday, May 24.

There are no set prices, they just ask you to make a donation to their cause. That’s located at 969 Ulysses Street.

DJs ready to mix it up

Recent proms are just the tip of the iceberg for live entertainment companies that are wanting to increase business after a slow and difficult year of public health restrictions.

Imprint Entertainment has done three proms at Denver metro high schools this spring.

ear that? Well, if the noise you heard any time in the past year, there’s a good chance it wasn’t the sound of a disc jockey booth.

Not surprisingly, business has been bad for DJs and live entertainment companies. COVID-19 restrictions reduced the number of gigs for Denver metro DJs to nearly zero. Many squeaked by from working virtual proms and socially distanced bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs, but it’s already much better because there are now real proms and other events as public health restrictions loosen.

“I feel like we went from hibernating bears to chickens with our heads cut off,” said Rikki Mor, operations manager at Denver-based Imprint Entertainment. For most of last year, Mor said she could

count the number of live events Imprint booked on two hands.

Michael Crabtree, owner of Denver-based DJ Guy, said business was down 80% to 85% from 2019 to 2020. DJ Connection, a nationwide company that has a Denver office, had 4,000 events scheduled last year, three-quarters of which were canceled, said owner Jason Bailey.

Some events were entirely nonexistent during the pandemic, such as school dances and corporate events. All of the companies worked weddings and Imprint did a few bar and bat mitzvahs, one of which was a “carmitzvah,” Mor described. At the carmitzvah — held at Wings over the Rockies in Denver— people congregated and celebrated by setting up tables at their adequately distanced parked cars, Mor said.

Another pandemic-flex event SEE DJ, P17

After a long and difficult year, live entertainment companies and DJs want to go back to normal. They have managed with socially distanced events, or private proms or virtual proms. But many look forward to events, weddings being chief among them, PHOTO BY BRITTANY RAE PHOTOGRAPHY/COURTESY OF DJ CONNECTION where more people are allowed.

The bright lights shine on Denver COMING ATTRACTIONS

n many cases listening to a podcast is a passive activity - something people listen to while exercising, sitting in the car or doing chores around the house.

But “The Bright Lights of Denver,” a new podcast sponsored by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Powered By OffCenter program, is a show that gets the listener involved.

“The Bright Lights of Denver” tells the fictional story of aspiring novelist-turnedjournalist Ryan Streeter, who starts out studying the history of the Mile-High City and suddenly finds himself investigating the sudden disappearance of a friend.

Created by Kenny Moten and Jessica Hindsley, the four-episode series will make its fully-produced world premiere in June.

The project is one of two selected out of 39 entries by the Powered By Off-Center program. Launched in 2018, it is a residency program for local artists that culminated in two fully-supported workshops at the DCPA, Charlie Miller, Off-Center curator, explained. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the program was adapted to propose safe theatrical experiences that could be fully produced at the DCPA in June.

“The goal has been to inspire new ideas, build new creative partnerships, and contribute to Colorado’s local artistic ecology,” he added.

Among the requirements for this year’s entries into the program were to be theatrical at its core, put the audience at the center of the story and be able to run for

at least a month and accommodate at least 1,000 audience members through the run.

“Of all the projects proposed, `The Bright Lights of Denver’ best met all our selection criteria,” Miller said. “It tells a compelling story and explores issues very relevant to Denver today. And it provides exciting opportunities for the audience to get out into the world and engage with the characters and the story.”

Audiences don’t just listen - they can interact with the characters through their Instagram accounts and connect with other fans of the show on the Bright Lights Facebook group. There will also be two Zoom question and answer sessions with SEE READER, P17

the DJs worked was the “private prom.” DJ Guy booked one with about 25 high school students from different schools, whose parents (the parents were in a friend group) put on for their kids at a small venue. Crabtree jokingly said, “It felt a lot more like parents planning a party for themselves and the kids were invited.” The ratio of parents who took photos in the photo booth versus the students is evidence of that, he added.

That said, the students seemed like they had a lot of fun because “they had been stripped of some of these fun and engaging things that have been a rite of passage in high school,” Crabtree said. Not only were the restrictions slightly looser at the private prom, but parents were more relaxed about the music. For example, at a schoolsanctioned dance, Crabtree might not be allowed to play an unedited version of Cardi B’s “WAP,” but the private prom parents didn’t have a problem with it. “It’s kinda funny,” Crabtree said.

Slightly similar, DJ Connection worked virtual proms, where a student and their date were at individual homes and streamed into a group Zoom. The DJ, in his own Zoom box, played the music and performed as they normally do — even pausing at points to hype up the crowd by saying, “we got some shout-outs here!” or “we’re giving out prizes!” — to make the experience feel as normal as possible, Bailey said.

Virtual proms have been fun, but also, “weird because you can’t see the kids … it’s a strange experience for us because DJs feed off the crowd’s energy,” Bailey said.

Scanning these QR codes with your phone unlocks additional parts of the story that help solve the mystery, according to Miller. “‘The Bright Lights of Denver’ is a great story and an intriguing mystery. But it is also much more than that,” said Miller. “Real interviews with City officials and local experts are woven through the episodes as the main character explores serious issues confronting Denver: the growth of the city, the lack of affordable housing, and gentrification.”

Grocery shopping goes outdoors at City Park The newly-launched City Park Farmers Market started up on May 15 and will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through Oct. 30 at 2551 E. Colfax Ave in Denver.

have helped the bottom line. Even then, Imprint had to lay off a few full-time employees and a few DJs departed. DJ Connection dealt with the same problem, but it didn’t end up laying off full-time employees because it’s a larger company. Still, Bailey worries if he’ll have enough DJs to work the bevy of events the company is lining up for later this year. A few DJs with DJ Guy were furloughed.

“I don’t personally see us recovering as an industry until at least 2022 to 2023, depending,” said Crabtree.

Things are picking up, though.

Imprint recently did a prom at Legacy High School, an Adams 12 Five Star Schools district school, and DJ

Connection did a prom at Horizon High School in Thornton, another Adams 12 school. DJ Guy recently did a dance with Douglas County School District and is looking to book events with Jefferson County Public Schools. Imprint, DJ Connection and DJ Guy all have tons of weddings on the horizon. Many are rescheduled gigs, but some are new events. On June 26, Bailey said DJ Connection will be at 19 events in Denver, over half of which are rescheduled events.

Like other businesses, live entertainment companies are cautiously optimistic about the prospect of more, and larger, gatherings as more people are vaccinated. That’s what excites the live entertainment

COVID

47% are estimated to have received at least one dose of a vaccine, the state publichealth department said in a May 14 news release.

“Herd immunity” — a term for when enough people become immune that the spread of a disease becomes unlikely — could happen when somewhere between 66.7% and 80% of people attain immunity to COVID-19, according to the Colorado School of Public Health.

FROM PAGE 1

As of May 16, several metro counties are now operating in what they call “level clear,” generally with no local restrictions — and that’s likely to continue unless things take a turn for the worse.

In Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, for example, level clear will continue unless hospitalizations trigger a “snapback provision,” where restrictions would return if a county exceeds 2 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents, measured a certain way over a 14-day period.

That bar is unlikely to be reached in Adams and Arapahoe counties, said John Douglas, head of TriCounty Health Department.

That’s the health agency for those two counties and Douglas County. Broomfield also moved to level clear May 16, and Denver said it was “planning to meet level clear standards,” according to a spokesperson. Denver’s new public health order was to take effect May 16. Boulder County was to also move to level clear on May 16.

Some counties had already been living under no dial restrictions: Douglas County’s elected leaders opted out of Tri-County Health’s extension of the dial system during an April 13 meeting.

Some other counties that indicated that they would not issue local orders included Elbert and Weld.

And with coronavirus cases on a downward trend, metro Denver counties might not see dial restrictions again — although it depends on how the virus fares this fall.

“We do expect over the summer months that the numbers will come down, and this may become more of a seasonal illness with numbers coming back up in the fall,” said Eric France, Colorado’s chief medical officer, at a May 13 news conference.

Any consideration by the state of bringing back dial

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The pandemic’s fourth wave in Colorado shows signs of waning, but cases and hospitalizations remain high compared to other times in the course of COVID-19’s spread.

General spread across the community, particularly in settings involving schoolaged and young adult residents who are less likely to be vaccinated, appears to have driven the fourth wave, said John Douglas, executive director of the TriCounty Health Department. That’s the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Personal gatherings, restaurants and sports-related gatherings continue to be among the most frequently cited locations where people in Tri-County’s area may restrictions “will depend on the experience of the fall” and is “too hard to predict at this point, given there are variants to consider,” France added.

Although the state’s dial system expired in mid-April, not all virus restrictions are local. On the heels of the state dial ending, Colorado issued a new public health order that maintains some limits on large indoor gatherings. Colorado’s mask mandate is a separate order.

Despite all the news about restrictions fading away, Colorado has likely been experiencing a higher number of active COVID-19 infections than it did during the pandemic’s first peak last spring — even when accounting for the lack of testing at that time, according to estimates by the Colorado School of Public Health as of May 12.

“If people make major behavior changes right away that lead to a large increase in contacts and transmission, we could potentially see a lot of deaths,” Buchwald said. She added: “The pandemic is not over. We still have to be vigilant.”

High hospital cases, deaths loom Asked whether metro

have been exposed to COVID-19, Douglas said.

“High levels of the B.1.1.7 variant is making transmission in all settings more likely,” Douglas said, referring to the United Kingdom variant.

Several school districts in the Denver metro area have moved to more frequent in-person classes, but Douglas said it’s difficult to tell whether that change has contributed to the fourth wave in TriCounty’s area.

“We are seeing more outbreaks in school in which we think in-school transmission is responsible, but these account for less than 10% of cases in school-aged kids,” Douglas said. “My hunch is that schools remain relatively safe — also supported by the data the schools are gathering — and that transmission in the community settings mentioned above are the big factors.”

counties’ move to level clear will have a large impact on coronavirus spread, Buchwald said it’s difficult to predict.

“A lot of how people behave is dependent on the messaging they get and the messaging they believe. And I think the urgency for reopening is real,” Buchwald said. But “if the message is ‘the pandemic is over,’ I think that’s a dangerous message because I think that’ll lead people to do riskier behaviors.”

A big takeaway from Colorado’s data is that the number of COVID-19 cases recently is still “very high,” particularly in comparison to the lows of last summer, Buchwald said.

“The thing that people have lost sight of is: Can you believe if five years ago there was an infectious disease and there were 600 people in the state of Colorado hospitalized?” Buchwald said. “It seems unimportant because we’ve gotten so used to it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a major problem.”

She noted that even a person with COVID-19 who is not hospitalized may still face long-term health consequences, which some have called “long COVID,” she said.

On top of that, more than 700 more deaths could occur in Colorado from early May through the end of July even with “high levels” of vaccination and the current level of social distancing and mask-wearing as of early May, both of which are likely to decline, according to Douglas, the health chief.

But the choice to drop restrictions is “all about balances and tradeoffs,” Douglas said.

“I think it is likely that if we went into complete lockdown like 13 months ago, we’d be experiencing fewer deaths,” Douglas said. He added: “In the extreme case, you wouldn’t shut down the whole economy to save one life. You’d hate to see that one life” lost, but that would be a reasonable trade, Douglas argued.

Figuring out what the right tradeoff is has “been absolutely agonizing,” he added.

What makes the situation easier is the effectiveness of the vaccines, Douglas said.

“I want to badly urge everyone who can get this to get it,” Douglas said of vaccination.

About 48% of all Coloradans are estimated to be immune due to vaccination or prior infection, while

Dispute over pandemic During the Douglas County commissioners’ April 13 meeting, when they voted to opt out of Tri-County Health’s extension of dial restrictions, Commissioner Abe Laydon said he would like for residents to “break the delusion” that there is a need for a continuation of public health orders.

“I want … Douglas County to be the first county in the state to say ‘this pandemic is over,’” Laydon said. Laydon again said “the pandemic is over” during a May 11 meeting.

Douglas, the health chief, said the comment is “completely inaccurate” from a literal standpoint.

“The pandemic, meaning a global epidemic, is far from over,” Douglas said. He added: “I actually think he was being somewhat hyperbolic to say Douglas County is not going to be threatened by the pandemic, we’ve got enough vaccination … that interpretation of his remarks is probably true.”

But Douglas doesn’t think the way it was said was “helpful to the larger conversation,” he continued.

Buchwald, the researcher with the school of public health, said in Colorado “very clearly it’s not over,” pointing to the high number of cases.

“I think it’s important to step back and realize there are 600 hospitalized in the state of Colorado alone,” Buchwald reiterated.

“I wish the pandemic was over as well,” Buchwald said, “but wishful thinking is not enough.”

Big reopening for Tiny Town

May 20, 2021

After a canceled 2020, attraction set to get back on track Memorial Day weekend

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tiny Town has survived floods and encroaching fires. Lucky for area children, it has also survived COVID-19.

The diminutive municipality opens for the year at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 29.

After sitting closed for 20 months, Tiny Town’s workers and volunteers are cleaning, polishing and prepping for the opening.

“We’re really looking forward to opening!” seasonal employee Bettiann said (last name withheld).”It’s just a joy to see how people love to come here.”

It’s an opening day that didn’t always look likely amid pandemic and financial worries.

“It’s been a long haul,” General Manager Elvira Nedoma said.

With the business unable to open to the public in 2020, Nedoma said it struggled last year. Since it runs on volunteers and seasonal employees, Tiny Town was not eligible to receive forms of government assistance available for other businesses.

A dozen volunteers help run the five little train engines that circle the grounds, while a regular roster of eight seasonal employees keep the town running.

“They come back year after year,” Nedoma said, herself in her 21st year at Tiny Town. “Some of them have been here longer than me!”

Eric Witulski, a seasonal employee now in his 13th season, was busy setting up the gift shop with Bettiann on a sunny afternoon last week. After missing out on a season of work, he said he was happy to be back and expecting a busy summer.

“I think everybody who lives nearby and has kids should check it out,” he said.

Tiny Town was first opened in 1915

by George Turner. Originally named Turnerville, it survived the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918.

On top of the current pandemic, Tiny

Nedoma said overall, though, public support for Tiny Town has been heartening. She set up a fundraiser to support Tiny Town through the pandemic, which raised more than $30,0000 in donations and helped pay the bills last year.

“Without that, who knows,” Nedoma said.

Detailed miniature buildings, including greenhouses complete with miniature floral displays, are part of Tiny Town’s charm.

The future looks good for Tiny Town, according to Nedoma, with several day camp organizations already scheduling time to come up.

“Kids love this place, and they’ve been cooped up inside, staring at screens,” Nedoma said. “They just need to get outside.”

Kokoro holds fundraiser to counter anti-Asian hate Japanese restaurant donates to three organizations

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kokoro, a Japanese restaurant with locations in University Hills and Arvada, has launched a fundraising campaign aimed at contributing to organizations that oppose anti-Asian hate.

The restaurant donated $1,000 cumulatively to `Go For Broke!’

National Education Center, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and the Human Rights Campaign. Through May 15, the restaurant offered 20% off orders placed with the coupon code `STOPHATE’ and donated the deducted 20% `Asian Avenue’ Magazine.

Anti-Asian hate surged during 2020, with the Cal State San Bernardino’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism finding that anti-Asian hate crimes surged 149% last year, while hate crimes in general dropped 7%. Furthermore, the shooting of eight people — six of whom were Asian women — in Atlanta on March 16 sent shockwaves through the Asian/Pacific IslanderAmerican community.

Masaru “Mas” Torito, Kokoro’s district manager and son of the restaurant’s founder Mareo, said the

Interior shot of Kokoro Japenese Restaurant on Wadsworth in Arvada.

coronavirus pandemic also added to the anti-Asian sentiment he and his employees have faced.

“When COVID hit and there was such hatred of the `China Virus,’” said Torito, “the tone really changed and going into work, employees weren’t always welcome or valued by customers. I think we were all treated so much more like something to be despised or to be fearful of, scared of.

“Slowly, the temperature just started to rise,” Torito continued.

“and then there was the shooting in Atlanta. We had a staff meeting, just too talk about how everyone was doing. And there was so much pain, there was so much hurt, and you can see how much what was going on really was just weighing on everyone.”

The idea for the fundraiser gathered steam after the staff meeting, with Kokoro Server Ten Aquino stating that she believes the fundraiser will help raise awareness of the issues facing the AAPI commu-

nity.

“We just want to make everybody aware that it is something that’s going on,” said Aquino. “It’s not something we can just push under the table either. Kokoro is a business that was based off Japanese cuisine by a family that immigrated from Japan and they wanted to help put a stop to it and offer what we can to people around us so they could become aware, they can understand.”

I started working by myself as well as helping underclassmen as one of the senior

Faith Christian seeking ‘ministerial exception’ from lawsuit Former FCA teacher Gregg Tucker filed a wrongful termination suit in 2019

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On May 11, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the case of Tucker v.

Faith Bible Chapel International, which concerns the 2018 termination of former Faith Christian Academy teacher Gregg Tucker from the Arvada-based Christian high school.

The 10th Circuit Court will now decide whether or not to accept Faith Bible Chapel’s appeal. If the appeal is accepted, the 10th Circuit will hear the case – if the appeal is denied, the case will be sent back its prior venue, the Denver District Court.

Tucker was a teacher and chapel director at the school from 2000 until February 2018. The K-12 academy, which is at 12189 W. 64th Ave., has a student body of roughly 1,000 students. Tucker alleges he was fired in response to a chapel meeting he organized on Jan. 12, 2018, addressing “a number of disturbing incidents of racism,” according to a letter he wrote on Jan. 6, 2018.

Faith Bible Chapel used what is called an interlocutory appeal

INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL Though the case in Denver District Court isn’t over, Faith Bible Chapel has filed an interlocutory appeal — an appeal that is filed before a final judgement is made — with the 10th Circuit Court based on their belief that the ministerial exception could not properly be weighed in trial court, and the case should instead be moved to a higher court.

before a trial court could reach a decision in the case, arguing that the ministerial exception — a doctrine that bars the application of anti-discrimination laws to ministers employed by religious organizations — is meant to protect religious organizations from the scrutiny of a jury trial.

“If Faith Bible is right that the (ministerial exception) bars suit in this case, all of this upcoming discovery and litigation rings a bell that cannot be unrung,” the school’s lawyers wrote in a brief filed in October.

Larger legal questions Last July, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of `Our Lady of Guadalupe School v.

Morrissey-Berru’ that lay teachers can fall within the ministerial exception. The Court declined to adopt a “rigid formula” for determining whether teachers at religious schools fall within the exception, siding with the Catho-

vent the legal process and deny Gregg his right to challenge the discrimination and retaliation he suffered.”

Faith Bible Chapel attorney Daniel Blomberg of the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty said that the case is an issue of separating church and state, citing the 2012 case of `Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,’ in which the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal discrimination laws do not apply to religious organization’s selection of religious leaders.

“If the separation of church and state means anything, it means a chaplain can’t sue his church in federal court over what he taught in a chapel service,” said Blomberg in a statement.

“The unanimous Supreme Court confirmed almost a decade ago that the First Amendment protects healthy church-state relationships by barring that kind of religious entanglement.”

Girard countered Blomberg’s citation of ‘Hosanna-Tabor,’ arguing that the same protections provided from that case do not apply to Tucker’s because he was a teacher and not exclusively a minister.

“The ministerial exception was never intended to be a free pass

lic school in a 7-2 decision.

“Judicial review of the way in which religious schools discharge those responsibilities would undermine the independence of religious institutions in a way that the First Amendment does not tolerate,” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in the majority decision.

Tucker’s attorney Bradley Girard of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State said that broadening the protections of the ministerial exception would shield religious organizations from having to adhere to secular school’s employment standards, and that the church is trying to skirt the legal process with its interlocutory appeal.

“The school’s argument aligns with an alarming trend we’re seeing; religious employers are urging courts to adopt an everbroader interpretation of the ministerial exception,” Girard said. “They want it applied not just to clergy and some privateschool educators with significant religious duties, but to all employees at religious organizations.

“What’s more,” Girard continued, “the school is also making the unprecedented argument that just because it claims Gregg Tucker was a minister — despite what he actually did — the ministerial exception applies, and the court can’t weigh the facts of the case. The school wants to circum-

Torito said that the fundraiser seeks to highlight three core tenets in fighting anti-Asian hate; courage, love and education.

“We see all these campaigns that say, ‘Stop Asian Hate,’” said Torito. “But you have to ask yourself, how did the hate get there to begin with? How did that originate? It’s not something we are born with, it’s something that’s learned. So, once it’s learned, how do you unlearn it?

“So, courage was something that I felt like we needed to speak to,” Torito continued, “because you can’t sit there quietly when something happens, no matter how much you want to. And love, because you have to be willing to listen and willing to hear. And the last part is education. You have to know the stories; hear how it’s gotten to be where it’s at.”

Torito added that most of the response to the fundraiser has been positive.

SPORTS Cougars catch big-time prey

May 20, 2021

Evergreen boys lax beats defending state champs Golden

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was always going to be quite a clash — the defending 4A state championship team coming up against a program on the rise with a whopping 17 seniors on the roster.

That’s perhaps why Evergreen Cougars lacrosse head coach Jay Egger had a lot to say after his senior-heavy squad beat the Golden Demons 11-5 on May 12.

“This group, they’ve been building towards this,” Eggers said. “This year they want that banner and that ring more than ever before, so there’s one purpose, one direction, and that’s to be the best in the state.”

The May 12 game, which was the second of the season for Evergreen and the third for Golden, started out tight. The home-team Cougars were first out of the gate with two scores in the first quarter, including a bullet from senior attacker Ben Crosbie at the 4 minute mark to make it 2-0.

But Golden came right back, tying it up at 2-2. First senior Chance MacCagnon scored from the top of the attack area. Followed a minute later by junior team captain Dalton Summers, who received a nice pass right in front of Evergreen’s goal and one in.

The second quarter, however, is where Evergreen pulled away. Senior defenseman Danny Schneider set the tone early, with a quick runand-gun score in the first 30 seconds.

It only got worse from there for Golden. The Demons failed to capi-

talize on a man-up situation, only to give up another goal right afterwards, (a patient Crosby with the assist to junior Connor Dries) to fall behind 4-2.

The Demons would end up getting shut out the entire second quarter, as Evergreen’s senior goalie Andrew Morris stopped quite a few shots that came his way.

“We beat Golden in every facet of the game,” Coach Egger said after the game. “We’re proud of

that against the defending state champs.”

After the Cougars racked up six unanswered goals, Golden finally got one by the goalie halfway through the third quarter, when Chase Marini got a long distance shot into the net.

The score was 8-4 going into the final quarter. Golden got an early man-up situation, but MacCagnon’s set-up shot went just wide.

On the next possession, Evergreen

would be a man up and would be luckier in converting the chance into a goal.

Down the stretch, MacCagnon would get one more goal to bring his team within 5, but a nice assist pass from Evergreen’s Crosbie to Nate Park would end up being the final score of the game, 11-5.

Wheat Ridge off to a hot start in 4A Jeffco League

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Conifer senior Willa Bowen (8) and Wheat Ridge junior Emily Browne (3) work to gain control of the ball Monday, May 10, at Lakewood Memorial Field. The No. 4-ranked Farmers took a 6-0 victory over the Lobos to improve to 3-0 on the season in 4A Jeffco League play.

PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Wheat Ridge’s girls soccer team is wasting no time when it comes to racking up the victories.

The Farmers — No. 4 in the Class 4A CHSAANow. com rankings — improved to 3-0 on the season with a dominating 6-0 victory over Conifer on Monday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.

“Off to a really good start.

I’m really pleased with the girls,” Wheat Ridge coach Dan Watkins said. “There hasn’t been enough training to be where we want to be, but we are starting to put things together and creating some combination. We are putting some goals on the board so that feels good.”

The Farmers kept the good vibes going with a

10-0 victory over Alameda International later in the week. All four of Wheat Ridge’s wins have come in 4A Jeffco League play to give the Farmers the lead out of the gates in the deep conference.

The Farmers have outscored their opponents 24-1.

A 2-1 victory out of the gates against league rival Green Mountain on May 4 really jump-started the season for the Farmers.

“Having the really tough first game I think really prepared us,” Wheat Ridge senior Jessica Brummett said of the Farmers’ 1-goal victory against the Rams.

“It got us into the mindset of working hard and staying disciplined early on.”

The Farmers scored early and often on a cold and rainy Monday, May 10, at Lakewood Memorial Field. Sophomore Sadie Powers knocked in the

first goal in the 2nd minute off a corner kick. Brummett scored a minute later to make it a 2-0 lead for the Farmers.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start,” Coach Watkins said of the Farmers scoring twice in the opening three minutes. “It gives you a chance to relax and let the game come to us. It put us in a good position for the rest of the night.”

Brummett would complete the hat-trick with goals in the 32nd and 48th minutes to give herself already five goals on the season.

“I was kind of mad last game because I didn’t get to score, but my teammates have been giving me a lot of good balls and opportunities,” Brummett said. “You just need to finish when you get them.”

Ralston Valley’s state tournament run ends against Rampart

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

COLORADO SPRINGS — Ralston Valley’s girls volleyball team that finished with a 17-1 record and berth in the Class 5A state semifinals won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

“No Ralston Valley volleyball team had ever made it to the state semifinals before,” Ralston Valley senior Taylor Scherff said shortly after the Mustangs’ season came to an end. “That was a great accomplishment for this team. We really did this as a team. Everyone played their part. Everyone is strong. Everyone had something to give.”

The No. 3-seeded Mustangs defeated 5A Jeffco League rival 3-0 during a late-night 5A state quarterfinal match Wednesday, May 12, at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

The victory set up a semifinal date May 13 against No. 2 Rampart.

The Rams (13-1) proved to be too much for Ralston Valley. Rampart took a 25-18, 20-25, 25-21, 25-17 victory on its way to winning its first state volleyball title later than night against Grandview.

C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E

Ralston Valley junior Morgan McChesney (3) is able to put down a kill during the Class 5A state semifinal match against Rampart on May 13 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs. The Mustangs had their undefeated season come to an end with a 3-1 loss to the eventual state champions.

May 20, 2021 Wheat Ridge sophomore Sadie Powers, right, scores on Conifer sophomore goalie Teagan Eisenring (00) in the 2nd minute during the Class 4A Jeffco League game Monday, May 10, at Lakewood Memorial Field. The Farmers took a 6-0 victory over the PHOTO Lobos.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS/ JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

SOCCER FROM PAGE 30

Six different Farmers found the back of the net in Wheat Ridge’s first three games with Brummett leading the way with her handful of tallies.

“Jess is a good target for us. She is able to turn and puts balls in to the back of the net,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got a handful of girls who can do that.”

Sophomore Taylor Watkins has already proven to be a scoring threat. The youngest daughter of the Farmers’ longtime coach scored goals in the 17th and 31st minutes of the first half on long driving shots just under the cross bar.

Taylor also had two of her corner kicks result in goals for the Farmers against the Lobos (1-2 record).

The sophomore is taking advantage of finally playing for her father after so many years being on the sideline.

“I came here in a car carrier. It’s crazy,” Taylor said. “I remember being a ball girl for eight years. I love playing here under the lights. I’ve waited so long for this.”

Taylor already has three goals and three assists on the season.

“It is a little weird talking about my own kid,” Coach Watkins said of Taylor. “I’m just excited for her.

She has wanted to be out here since she could walk. To be able to play with the girls, be apart of it and contribute to the group is a great feeling for her.”

Taylor admits the car rides home from games are a little different then they used to be when she was a spectator waiting her turn to get on a high school pitch, but she is relishing every game.

“I love having my Dad on the sideline,” Taylor said. “I’ve enjoyed having that relationship with him and getting finally able to (play for him) after 16 years.”

The shortened 10-game regular season will go by in a flash and the Farmers know that a slight missstep might undo the great start to the season. Wheat Ridge toughest part of its conference schedule comes when it closes out the regular season against No. 3 D’Evelyn (June 7) and No. 1 Evergreen (June 9).

“Across our league there are a lot of good teams,” Coach Watkins said. “We’ve got to worry about one game at a time. Hopefully those ones at the end of the season mean something and we’re ready to play.”

Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools. For more Jeffco coverage go to CHSAANow.com/Jeffco.

and that’s a big Evergreen team,” Golden head coach Mike Thumim said.

“Good news is we get them later in the year,” Thumim said. “And I’m thinking that’ll be for the (Jeffco 4A) conference championship.”

The Golden squad regrouped from the loss with a big win against conference opponent Denver South last week. The Demons travel to Conifer on the 21st, and will host Air Academy on the 24th.

Evergreen plays Thompson Valley and Air Academy this week. The Cougars’ next home game will be 7:30 p.m. May 26 against Bear Creek.

Evergreen captain Grayden Easton looks for an opening in the Golden defense during the EHS home game on May 13.

The water exchanged to Strontia Springs Reservoir may then be diverted through Conduit 26 to Denver’s Foothills Water Treatment Plant (“FWTP”) or through Aurora’s Rampart Tunnel to Rampart Reservoir and the Roxborough Water Treatment Plant (“RWTP”). 3. Description of conditional water right: a. Date of original decree, case no. and court: The original decree was entered March 23, 2007, in Case No. 05CW30, District Court, Water Division No. 1. b. Subsequent diligence decree: A diligence decree was entered April 10, 2015, in Case No. 13CW3006, District Court, Water Division No. 1. c. Legal descriptions: i.

The exchange-from point is Chatfield Reservoir.

On May 11, 2015, as a result of heavy precipitation in the area, a large sink hole developed in the dam for Lambert Reservoir No. 3, which acts as a fore bay for the Meadow Ditch and is used to store delayed return flows pursuant to the District’s change decree. Between May 11 and May 29. 2015, the District removed a portion of the dam and modified the outlet structures to stabilize the area and prevent a dam failure. The District also regraded and reseeded the surrounding area to prevent further erosion. All work was done in coordination with the Water Commissioner and dam safety engineers. b. In 2016 and 2017, the District and Mr. Barenberg financed surveys and studies of alternative designs to reconstruct Lambert dam and reservoir at its original site, or to replace a portion of the storage capacity at the original site and build a dam upstream on Mr. Barenberg’s property to store his portion of the water right. c. In 2018, the District was notified by the Water Commissioner that a breach had developed on Meadow Ditch. On April 25, 2018, the District placed a section of culvert in Meadow Ditch to repair the breach and prevent future recurrence. The District also removed vegetation impacting the headgate and flume, and regraded and reseeded the area to prevent erosion. All work was done in coordination with the Water Commissioner. d.

Lorenz Well No. 1 has been in the same physical location since its construction in August 1963. The Applicant had the location of the wells surveyed and based upon that survey determined that the decree in Case No. W-6101 contains erroneous descriptions of the points of diversion.

The legal description of the corrected point of diversion: Lorenz Well No. 1: located in the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 18, Township 6 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado, approximately 732 feet north and 405 feet east of the southwest corner of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of said section 18. Its latitude and longitude location is: Lat: 39°31” 26.322’ N, Lon: -105° 15” 45.129’ W. Its UTM description is UTM Zone 13S, Easting: 477438.25, Northing: 4374958.50. Lorenz Well No. 2: located in the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 18, Township 6 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado, approximately 1,015 feet north and 664 feet east of the southwest corner of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of said section 18.

Survey drawings showing the location and legal descriptions of each well are attached as exhibits to this application. The source of the PLSS description is a filed survey as shown in the attached exhibits. The source of the UTM coordinates is WGS-84. In the event of a discrepancy between the UTM coordinates and the PLSS descriptions in this part 3.B., the Applicant is relying on the UTM coordinates as the most accurate description of the location of the wells. 4. The Us and Them Trust dated 9-7-2017is the owner of the land upon which Lorenz Wells No. 1 and 2 are located.

Claim No. 1 seeks to adjudicate an underground water right for an existing exempt domestic well. Claim No. 2 seeks approval of a plan for augmentation including exchange. Applicant owns a 30-acre parcel of land presently known as 12251 El Pico Dr., Conifer, Colorado 80433, Jefferson County which will be subdivided into two lots, with one well on each lot (two wells total). One well is the existing exempt well subject to Claim No. 1 and the other well is a non-exempt well that will be operated for indoor use only pursuant to the plan for augmentation to be decreed through this Application. CLAIM NO. 1: APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHT 3. Name of Well and Permit Number: Boyne Well No. 1, Well Permit No. 269301. a.

Remarks: The Boyne Well No. 1 is an exempt well that will keep its exempt status. Senate Bill 20-0155, adopted on July 2, 2020, amended Section 37-92-602(3) to allow an existing exempt well permitted pursuant to Section 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A) to retain its exemption after the land on which the well is located has been divided, provided that the existing well is only used on a single lot of the divided land and remains the only well serving that lot. CLAIM NO. 2: APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHT 5. Name of Structure to be Augmented: Boyne Well No. 2 will divert ground water on a separate lot to be subdivided from a parcel of land located in the SW1/4 SE1/4, Section 29, Township 6 South, Range 71 West of the 6th P.M. in Jefferson County. The rate of diversion for the well will not exceed 15 gallons per minute. An application to construct the well will be submitted to Division of Water Resources when the property described herein is developed and the well is needed. Boyne’s property on which Boyne Well No. 2 will be located is shown on the map attached as Exhibit A. The exact location of the well will be determined as the property within the area described above is developed and described in the well permit issued for the well. 6. Water Rights to be Use for Augmentation Purposes: Boyne has entered into a contract with North Fork Associates, LLC to purchase 1.0 share of Mountain Mutual Reservoir Company (“MMRC”) stock, which represents a firm annual yield of 0.032 of an acre-foot to satisfy present and anticipated future replacement needs associated with Boyne Well No. 2. a. The water rights associated with the MMRC share include the following: i. Slaght Ditch: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the SE Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a Decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the SW Corner of Section 22.

Mack Ditch No. 2: In accordance with the Decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of the Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Mack Ditch No. 2 was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 1.0 cubic foot per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion of the Mack Ditch No. 2 was originally established to be on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River at a point in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., Park County, Colorado whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 43° East, a distance of 984 feet more or less. By an Order of the Park County District Court entered on October 17, 1927, the point of diversion was moved approximately 789 feet upstream to a point on the South bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., whence the E1/4 Corner of said Section 21 bears North 79 º 30’ East, a distance of 1,292 feet, more or less. In Case Nos.

Of the remaining 0.8809 of a cubic foot per second, 0.44045 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 03CW238. iii.

Nickerson No. 2 Ditch: The Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, with a South Platte Priority No. 262 and North Fork Drainage Priority No. 24 has an appropriation date of May 1, 1872 as adjudicated by the District Court for Park County on May 22, 1913 in the amount of 0.65 of a cubic-foot-per-second.

In that Decree the headgate was located on the North bank of Deer Creek at a point whence the S1/4 Corner between Sections 31 and 32, Township 6 South, Range 72 West of the 6th P.M., bears North 85° 30’ East, 1,398 feet. Water Division No. 1 District Court Case No. W-7434 changed the location of the headgate for 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second to the Nickerson No. 2 Ditch, as shown above. This 0.28 of a cubic-foot-per-second is included in this contract. b. Firm Yield of Slaght Ditch Rights: The Slaght Ditch and Mack Ditch No. 2 water rights described herein shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Slaght Ditch Rights.” Allocation of yield to Slaght Ditch Rights is attached as Exhibit B. The Decree issued in Case No. 03CW238, dated October 24, 2006, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Slaght Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which these water rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 03CW238, as follows: i. The Slaght Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1 or the Maddox Reservoir. ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Slaght Ditch Rights is 0.5 of a cubic foot per second. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period May 1 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Slaght Ditch headgates on the North Fork of the South Platte River. If the May 1, 1867 priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 2.0 cubic foot per second for the Slaght Ditch and 1.0 cubic foot per second for the Mack Ditch No. 2, MMRC’s diversions are limited to its prorate entitlement to the water when physically and legally available. iv. Maximum annual diversions of the portion of the Slaght Ditch Rights changed in 03CW238 are limited to 41 acre-feet per year. During any consecutive ten-year period, the total diversions are further limited to 342 acre-feet. v. Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 16CW3197, the historic consumptive use associated with an additional 0.727 cfs of the Slaght Ditch water right yields 31.8 acre-feet of consumptive use water. c. Firm Yield of Nickerson Ditch Rights: The Nickerson No. 2, Parmalee No. 1, and Carruthers No. 2 Ditches are referred to herein as the “Nickerson Ditch Rights.” The Decree issued in Case No. 00CW174, dated October 11, 2002, quantified the historic consumptive use associated with the Nickerson Ditch Rights. The terms and conditions under which the Nickerson Ditch Rights are used for augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage purposes were also defined and approved in Case No. 00CW174, as follows: i. The Nickerson Ditch Rights may be left in the stream system to offset depletions from water use by MMRC shareholders. The water may also be stored in the Lower Sacramento Creek Reservoir No. 1, Maddox Reservoir and other MMRC reservoirs within the South Platte River Basin located above South Platte, Colorado; provided, however, that the details of storage in another reservoir will be published in the Water Court Resume, or such storage is approved by the State Engineer pursuant to Section 37-80-120 and 37-92-308, C.R.S. (2002). ii. The maximum rate of diversion under the Nickerson Ditch Rights is 0.8 of a cubic foot per second. Diversions are limited to the May 1, 1867 priorities decreed to the Parmalee Ditch No. 1 and the Carruthers Ditch No. 2. iii. Diversions to storage and/or assignment

for in-stream augmentation credit are limited to the period April 23 through October 31 of each year, and are further limited to those times when water is physically and legally available for diversion at the historic Nickerson Ditch No. 2 headgate on Deer Creek. If the May 1, 1867, priority is not fully satisfied to the extent of 0.8 of a cubic foot per second, the diversion rate is reduced to the flow, which is then physically and legally available. iv. Maximum monthly diversions under the Nickerson Ditch Rights are limited follows: acre-feet; May, 16.0North acre-feet; 19.0 acre-feet; July, shares 16.0 acre-feet; August, 10.0 shares acre-feet; West,as6th P.M.,April, Park2.0 County, Colorado.

Public Notices City of Golden Public Notice ORDINANCE NO. 2157 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO, AMENDING TITLE 11 OF THE GOLDEN MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO RIGHT-OF-WAY REGULATIONS WHEREAS, obstructions and excavations in City rights of way disrupt and interfere with public use of the rights of way; and WHEREAS, obstructions and excavations in City rights of way result in loss of parking and loss of business to merchants and others whose places of business are in the vicinity of such obstructions and excavations; and WHEREAS, it is desirable to adopt policies and regulations which will enable the City of Golden to gain greater control over the disruption and interference with the public use of public streets and rights of way, in order to provide for the health, safety and well-being of the City’s residents and users of City streets; and WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to acquire, build, maintain and repair the streets within the City and cuts and excavations in the streets reduce the useful life of the pavement infrastructure; and WHEREAS, significant public funds have been invested to place and maintain landscaping within public rights of way in the City and cuts and excavations in the public rights of way cause damage to, and increase the costs of maintaining that landscaping; and WHEREAS, the various public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which install, maintain, and operate facilities under the City’s streets are constrained, from time to time, to make excavation cuts which degrade the surfaces of these thoroughfares, thereby reducing their useful life; and WHEREAS, operators of motor vehicles (private and commercial) pay added gasoline taxes to compensate for the damage their vehicles cause to City streets and roads. Part of these taxes are used by the federal government (the federal highway “trust fund”) for construction and maintenance of interstate and federal highways. The State of Colorado annually transfers revenue from gasoline taxes to the City for street maintenance.

Public and commercial utilities, broadband and communications providers and similar entities which degrade the streets presently do not adequately pay for the direct costs of the damage done to the roadway surfaces; and WHEREAS, demand for access to broadband services is growing, and in order to fill such demand, more broadband network infrastructure is being installed in Rights of Way; and WHEREAS, in some jurisdictions, the demand for access and the number of entities seeking to install Facilities has sometimes resulted in multiple, serial Excavations within the Rights of Way, which can and has resulted in traffic disruption, a weakening of pavement integrity, and a shortening of the useful life of paved surfaces, the effect of which can be mitigated with proper planning and oversight as set forth herein; and WHEREAS, while Colorado statutes, particularly, C.R.S. 38-5.5-109, contains some procedures for addressing joint trenching in connection with broadband provider operations in the Rights of Way, at the present time there is no formal mechanism nor legal requirement that all public and commercial entities coordinate Excavation in the Rights of Way, and construct Facilities in newly developed areas to minimize future Excavations; and WHEREAS, the City of Golden intends to responsibly manage its Rights of Way by anticipating such demand and planning accordingly.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLDEN, COLORADO: Section 1. Chapter 11.20, “Cuts and Openings,” of the Golden Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety and re-enacted as a new Chapter 11.20, entitled “Right of Way Regulations,” to read as follows: Sec. 11.20.010. Purpose and Objectives. (a) Purpose. This Chapter provides principles, procedures and associated funding for the placement and coordination of Structures and Facilities, construction excavation encroachments and Work activities within or upon any Public Rights of Way, and to protect the integrity of the road system. To achieve these purposes, it is necessary to require permits of private users of the Public Rights of Way, to establish Permit procedures and to fix and collect fees and charges. (b) Objectives. Public and private uses of Public Rights of Way for location of Facilities employed in the provision of public services should, in the interests of the general welfare, be accommodated; however, the City must ensure that the primary purpose of the Rights of Way, the safe and efficient passage of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, is maintained to the greatest extent possible.

In addition, the value of other public and private installations, roadways, Facilities and properties should be protected, competing uses must be reconciled, and the public safety preserved. The use of the Rights of Way corridors for location of Facilities is secondary to these public objectives.

This Code is intended to strike a balance between the public need for efficient, safe transportation routes and the use of Rights of Way for location of Facilities by public and private entities. It thus has several objectives: (1) To ensure that the public safety is maintained and that public inconvenience is minimized.

(2) To protect the City’s Infrastructure investment by establishing repair standards for the pavement, Facilities, and property in the Public Rights of way, when Work is accomplished.

(3) To facilitate Work within the Rights of Way through the standardization of regulations.

(4) To maintain an efficient Permit process.

(5) To conserve and fairly apportion the limited physical capacity of the Public Rights of Way held in public trust by the City.

(6) To establish a public policy for enabling the City to discharge its public trust consistent with the rapidly evolving federal and state regulatory policies, industry competition and technological development.

(7) To promote and incentivize cooperation among the Permittees (as defined herein) and the City in the occupation of the Public Rights of way, and Work therein, in order to (i) eliminate duplication of construction that is wasteful, unnecessary or unsightly, (ii) lower the Permittee’s program costs and the City’s costs of providing services to the public, and (iii) minimize street cuts.

(8) To assure that the City can continue to fairly and responsibly protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

If repairs are required during the three (3) year warranty period, those repairs need only be warranted until the end of the initial three (3) year period starting with the date of initial acceptance.

It is not necessary that a new three (3) year warranty be provided for subsequent repairs after initial acceptance. (c) At any time prior to completion of the three (3) year warranty period, the City may notify the Permittee in writing of any needed repairs. Such repairs shall be completed within twenty four (24) hours if the defects are determined by the City to be an imminent danger to the public health, safety and welfare. Non-Emergency repairs shall be completed within thirty (30) calendar days after notice. (d) The warranty described in this section shall cover only those areas of Work undertaken by a Permittee, and not directly impacted by the Work of any other Permittee or the City. In the event that a portion of Work warranted by Permittee is subsequently impacted by Work of another Permittee or the City during the warranty period, that other Permittee or the City shall assume responsibility for repair to the subsequently impacted section of Rights of Way. (e) Unless otherwise specified in a franchise agreement between the Permittee and the City, before any Permit required by this chapter shall be issued to an Applicant, the Applicant may be required to file with the Director a cash surety, a bond, letter of credit in favor of the City or other financial guarantee in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total actual cost of construction, including labor and materials, as security for the performance of Work necessary to repair the Public Rights of Way if the Permittee fails to make the necessary repairs or to complete the Work under the Permit. The bond or letter of credit shall be executed by the Applicant as principal and by at least one surety upon whom service of process may be had in the state. The bond or letter of credit shall be conditioned upon the Applicant fully complying with all provisions of the Permit, and upon payment of all judgments and costs rendered against the Applicant for any violation of Permit provisions or for any loss, injury or damages arising out of any negligent or wrongful acts of the Applicant in the performance of Work done pursuant to the Permit. The City may, at the City’s discretion, call on the surety or issuing entity, or pursue any other legal remedies available to it at law or equity relating to the bond or letter of credit. The bond or letter of credit must be approved by the City’s/ finance director and city attorney as to form and as to the responsibility of the surety thereon prior to the issuance of the Permit. However, the City may waive the requirements of any such bond or letter of credit or may permit the Applicant to post a bond without surety thereon upon finding that the Applicant has financial stability and assets located in the state to satisfy any claims intended to be protected against the security required by this section. (f) The performance bond, letter of credit or other financial guarantee shall remain in force and effect at all times during the warranty period.

Sec. 11.20.100. Inspections.

A minimum of two inspections shall take place.

First, the City shall conduct an inspection at the start of Work. Second, the Permittee shall notify the City immediately after completion of Work operations. The City shall inspect the completed Work within twenty one (21) days of Permittee’s notification. Additional inspections may be required for complex or long duration Permits. For Work which does not involve material disturbance in the Rights of Way, the Director shall waive the final inspection.

Sec. 11.20.110. Public safety.

The Permittee shall maintain a safe Work area, free of safety hazards. The City may make any repair necessary to eliminate any safety hazards not performed as directed. Any such Work performed by the City shall be completed and billed to the Permittee. The Permittee shall pay all such charges within 30 days of the statement date. If the Permittee fails to pay such charges within the prescribed time period, the City may, in addition to taking other collection remedies, seek reimbursement through the warranty guarantee. The City shall not issue any further Permits of any kind to said Permittee, until all outstanding charges (except those outstanding charges that are honestly and reasonably disputed by the Permittee and being negotiated in good faith with the City) have been paid in full.

Sec. 11.20.120. Time of completion.

All Work covered by the Permit shall be completed by the date stated on the application. Permits shall be void if Work has not commenced six months after issuance, unless an extension has been granted by the Director. Performance bonds, letters of credit or other financial guarantees deposited as a performance/warranty guarantee for individual Permits will be returned after voiding of the Permit, with administrative and any other City costs deducted.

Sec. 11.20.130. Traffic control. (a) When it is necessary to obstruct traffic, including pedestrian and bike traffic, a traffic control plan shall be submitted to the City prior to start-

ing construction. No Permit will be issued until the plan is approved by the City. No Permittee shall block access to and from private property, block emergency vehicles, block access to fire hydrants, fire stations, fire escapes, water valves, underground vaults, valve housing Structures, or any other vital equipment unless the Permittee provides the City with written verification of written notice delivered to the Owner or occupant of the facility, equipment or property at least 48 hours in advance. If a street closing is desired, the Applicant will request the assistance and obtain the approval of the Director. It shall be the responsibility of the Permittee to notify and coordinate all Work in the Public Way with police, fire, ambulance, other government entities, and transit organizations. Permittee should make every effort to minimize impacts to pedestrian and bike traffic movement and, when necessary, provide pedestrian and bike detours that minimize impacts to pedestrian and bike movement. Safety of the traveling public is the most important item to be addressed in the traffic control plan, and the traffic control plan should note measures that are required for vehicular, pedestrian and bike safety and minimizing traffic conflicts among all modes of transportation. (b) When necessary for public safety, the Permittee shall employ flag persons whose duties shall be to control traffic around or through the construction site. The use of flag persons may be required by the Director. (c) Unless approved by the Director, the Permittee shall not impede rush hour traffic on arterial or collector streets during the morning or evening rush hours. (d) Traffic control devices, as defined in Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, must be used whenever it is necessary to close a traffic lane or sidewalk. Traffic control devices are to be supplied by the Permittee. If used at night, they must be reflectorized and must be illuminated or have barricade warning lights. (e) Oil flares or kerosene lanterns are not allowed as means of illumination. Nighttime Work area flood lighting shall not be allowed to spill out of the construction area in such a way as to disturb, annoy, or endanger the comfort, health or peace of others. (f) Part VI of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices or any successor publication thereto shall be used as a guide for all maintenance and construction signing. The Permittee shall illustrate on the Permit the warning and control devices proposed for use. At the direction of the Director, such warning and control devices shall be modified. (g) Maintenance and Construction Signing. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining all Work area signing and barricading during construction operations as well as any signs and barricades that are needed to protect roadway users and pedestrians during non-work hours. During non-work hours, all construction Work area signs that are not appropriate shall be removed, covered, or turned around so that they do not face traffic. Any deficiencies noted during non-work hours by the City shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor. For purposes of this section “immediately” means 30 minutes from verbal notification. If Contractor is not available or cannot be found, the City may make such corrections and the Contractor shall pay the actual costs plus a penalty of fifty percent (50%) of the amount thereof.

Sec. 11.20.140. General rights of way use and construction. (a) Right of Way Meetings. Permittee will make reasonable efforts to attend and participate in meetings of the City, of which the Permittee is made aware, regarding Rights of Way issues that may impact its Facilities, including, planning meetings to anticipate joint trenching and boring.

Whenever it is possible and reasonably practicable to joint trench or share bores or cuts, Permittee shall Work with other providers, licensees, Permittees, and franchisees so as to reduce so far as possible the number of Rights of Way cuts within the City and the amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic that is obstructed or impeded. (b) Minimal Interference. Work in the Rights of Way, on other public property, near public property, or on or near private property shall be done in a manner that causes the least interference with the rights and reasonable convenience of property owners and residents. Permittee’s Facilities shall be constructed and maintained in such manner as not to interfere with sewers, water pipes, or any other Infrastructure or property of the City, or with any other pipes, wires, Conduits, pedestals, Structures, or other Facilities that may have been laid in the Rights of Way by, or under, the City’s authority. The Permittee’s Facilities shall be located, erected and maintained so as not to endanger or interfere with the lives of Persons, or to interfere with new improvements the City may deem proper to make or to unnecessarily hinder or obstruct the free use of the Rights of Way or other public property, and shall not interfere with the travel and use of public places by the public during the construction, repair, operation or removal thereof, and shall not obstruct or impede traffic, except as approved under a traffic control plan or as provided under Section 11.20.230. (c) Underground Construction and Use of Poles.

(1) When required by general ordinances, resolutions, regulations or rules of the City, applicable state or federal law, or a franchise agreement between Permittee and the City, Permittee’s Facilities shall be placed underground at no cost to the City. Placing Facilities underground does not preclude the use of ground-mounted Appurtenances.

(2) Where all Facilities are installed underground at the time of Permittee’s construction, or when all such Facilities are subsequently placed underground, all Permittee Facilities that by their nature can function underground, shall also be

placed underground at no expense to the City, unless funding is generally available for such relocation to all users of the Rights of Way. Related equipment, such as pedestals, must be placed in accordance with the City’s applicable code requirements and rules. In areas where existing Facilities are aerial, the Permittee may install aerial Facilities.

(3) For above ground Facilities, the Permittee shall utilize existing poles and Conduit wherever possible and permissible.

(4) Should the City desire to place its own Facilities in trenches or bores opened by the Permittee, the Permittee shall cooperate with the City in any construction by the Permittee that involves trenching or boring, provided that the City has first notified the Permittee in some manner that it is interested in sharing the trenches or bores in the area where the Permittee’s construction is occurring. The Permittee shall allow the City to place its Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the City incurs any incremental increase in cost of the trenching and boring.

Should the City desire to install Facilities such as Ducts or Conduit for the possible use of other entities, then the Permittee shall allow the City/Town/ County to place these Facilities in the Permittee’s trenches and bores, provided the City shares proportionally in the cost of trenching and boring.

The City and Permittee may enter into an agreement providing for the Permittee to construct and install City Facilities in trenches or bores opened by the Permittee, and any reimbursement to the Permittee for the cost of constructing and installing such City Facilities. The City shall be responsible for maintaining its respective Facilities buried in the Permittee’s trenches and bores under this paragraph. (d) Use of Conduits by the City. Unless otherwise restricted by tariff, the City may install or affix and maintain its own Facilities for City purposes in or upon any and all of Permittee’s Ducts, Conduits or equipment in the Rights of Way and other public places, at a charge to be negotiated between the parties, to the extent space therein or thereon is reasonably available, and pursuant to all applicable ordinances and codes. For the purposes of this subsection, “City purposes” includes, but is not limited to, the use of the Structures and installations for City fire, police, traffic, water, telephone, and/or signal systems. (e) Common Users.

(1) The Rights of Way have a finite capacity for containing Facilities. Therefore, whenever the City determines it is impracticable to permit construction of an underground Conduit system by any other entity which may at the time have authority to construct or maintain Conduits or Ducts in the Rights of Way, but excluding entities providing services in competition with Permittee, and unless otherwise prohibited by federal or state law or regulations, the City may require Permittee to afford to such entity the right to use Permittee’s Surplus Ducts or Conduits in common with Permittee, pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agreement for use of Surplus Ducts or Conduits entered into by Permittee and the other entity. Nothing herein shall require Permittee to enter into an agreement with such entity if, in Permittee’s reasonable determination, such an agreement could compromise the integrity of the Permittee’s Facilities.

(2) All Facilities shall meet any applicable local, state, and federal clearance and other safety requirements, be adequately grounded and anchored, and meet the provisions of contracts executed between Permittee and the other common user. Permittee may, at its option, correct any attachment deficiencies and charge the common user for its costs. Each common user shall pay Permittee for any fines, fees, damages or other costs the common user’s attachments cause Permittee to incur. (f) Protection and damage prevention. In performing any Work in the Rights of Way, Permittee shall exercise reasonable care to protect City Facilities, City Infrastructure, or other property of the City in or near the excavation area.

Sec. 11.20.150. Joint planning and construction; coordination of excavations. (a) Excavations in City’s Rights of Way disrupt and interfere with the public use of City streets and can either damage the pavement and Landscaping or preclude future Landscaping or other installations in the Right of Way. The purpose of this Section is to reduce this disruption, interference and damage of the Right of Way by promoting and incentivizing better coordination among Permittees making excavations and the City. Better coordination will assist in minimizing the number of excavations being made wherever feasible, and will ensure the excavations in City Rights of Way are, to the maximum extent possible, combined and/or performed before, rather than after, the resurfacing of the streets by the City. (b) At the Director’s request, any Permittee owning, operating or installing Facilities in City Rights of Way, the Owner of any Facilities in City Rights of Way, or any Permittee or Owner providing water, sewer, gas, electric, broadband, communication, video or other utility services, shall meet and present with the Director the Permittee’s infrastructure master plan, which meetings shall not occur more frequently than quarterly. At such intervals, to the extent not already in possession of the City, Permittee or Owner shall submit documentation, in a form required by the Director, showing a location of the Permittee’s or Owner’s existing, currently proposed, and future to be proposed Facilities in the City Rights of Way. When requested by the City, such information shall be transmitted directly to an outside mapping entity accessible to the City that has established non-disclosure agreements with each Permittee or Owner to protect proprietary information to the satisfaction of the Permittee or Owner. Permittee or Owner shall discuss with the Director, its infrastructure master plan, and identify planned major excavation Work in the City. The Director may make his own record on a map, drawing or other documentation, of each Permittee’s or Owner’s planned major excavation

Work in the City; provided, however, that no such document prepared by the Director shall identify a particular entity, or the planned major excavation Work of that particular entity. Permittee or Owner shall meet with the Director to discuss its initial infrastructure master plan no later than sixty (60) days after submitting its first Permit application. Thereafter, each Permittee or Owner shall submit annually, on the first regular business day of January, a revised and updated infrastructure master plan. Such revised and updated plan shall be submitted in both hard copy and digital format.

As used in this subsection, the term “planned major excavation Work” refers to any future excavations planned by the Permittee or Owner when the infrastructure master plan or update is submitted that will affect any City Rights of Way for more than five (5) days, provided that the Permittee or Owner shall not be required to identify future major excavations planned to occur more than one (1) year after the date that the Permittee’s or Owner’s master plan or update is discussed. Between the quarterly meetings to discuss planned major excavation Work, Permittee or Owner shall use its best efforts to inform the Director of any substantial changes in the planned major excavation Work discussed at the quarterly meeting. (c) The Director shall review the infrastructure master plan and identify conflicts and opportunities for coordination of Excavations. Following receipt of the Permittee’s or Owner’s existing currently proposed, and future Major Work mapping information, the Director may electronically post the information in order that it can be reviewed by affected Owners and Permittees of such conflicts and opportunities to the extent necessary to maximize coordination of Excavation. Each Applicant for a Permit shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with planned City operations and each potentially affected Owner and Permittee to minimize disruption in the Rights of Way, regardless of whether such coordination was initiated by the Director. (d) The City may disclose information contained in a Permittee’s or Owner’s infrastructure master plan to any public or private entity planning on conducting Excavation activities in the Rights of Way only on a need-to-know basis in order to facilitate coordination among excavators and to avoid unnecessary Excavation in the Rights of Way. To the maximum extent permissible under the Colorado Open Records Act, as amended, the City shall not otherwise disclose to the public any information contained in mapping information submitted by a Permittee or Owner that is proprietary, trade secret or is otherwise protected from disclosure; provided, however that the City shall have no duty to decline to disclose any information that the Permittee or Owner has not identified on its face as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The City shall notify a Permittee or Owner of any request for inspection of public records that calls for disclosure of any infrastructure master plan on which any information has been identified as proprietary, trade secret or otherwise protected from disclosure. The City shall consult with its legal counsel regarding any such request and shall inform the affected Permittee or Owner either that the City will refuse to disclose the protected information or, if there is no proper basis for such refusal, that the City intends to disclose the requested information unless ordered otherwise by a court.

The Director shall prepare a Repaving Plan showing the street resurfacing planned by the City. For purposes of this Section, the Repaving Plan shall include a landscaping or other right of way improvement plan. The Repaving Plan shall be revised and updated on an annual basis after meeting to discuss the Permittee’s or Owner’s and City Department’s master plans and updates.

The Director shall make the City’s/Town’s/County’s Repaving Plan available for public inspection.

In addition to any other form of communication, after determining the street resurfacing Work that is proposed for each year, the Director shall post a notice of the proposed Work on the City’s website or other designated electronic location, in order to provide notice of the proposed street resurfacing Work to all Permittees or Owners that have had a quarterly meeting with the Director, and those broadband providers that are identified on the list maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation pursuant to C.R.S. 39-5.5-109 (1)(b). (e) Prior to applying for a Permit, any Person planning to Excavate in the City’s Rights of Way shall review the City’s Repaving Plan on file with the Director and shall coordinate, to the extent practicable, with the utility and street Work shown on such plans to minimize damage to, and avoid undue disruption and interference with the public use of such Rights of Way. Without such coordination, future Work within Repaved areas may be limited at the discretion of the Director, to prevent premature disturbance of newly paved surfaces. (f) In performing location of Facilities in the Public Rights of Way in preparation for construction under a Permit, Permittee shall compile all information obtained regarding its or any other Facilities in the Public Rights of Way related to a particular Permit, according to state utility locating rules and parameters, and shall make that information available to the City in a graphical and verified format acceptable to the Director. If the Permittee fails to provide the locate information requested by the City, the City may obtain this information and charge the Permittee the actual costs for obtaining the information. (g) Prior to undertaking any Work in the Rights of Way or related Landscaping, the City may notify all Permittees or Owners of the City Work to be performed. Upon such notification, all Permittees or Owners shall, within seven (7) days, locate their Facilities in the Rights of Way in which the Work will be performed, and provide documentation in a format acceptable to the Director of the Permittee’s or Owner’s Facilities in that Rights of Way. (h) Whenever a public entity excavator(s) and a private entity excavator(s) propose Major Work in the same block within a one-year period, the De-

partment shall condition Permits for such Work in a manner that maximizes coordination and minimizes the total period of construction. (i) When an Applicant seeks a Permit for an Excavation, an Applicant may, in the discretion of the Director, be required to circulate a description of the proposed Excavation to other Permittees and parties described in Section 11.20.160(e) above, to determine whether any Persons have construction requirements or opportunities for coordinating joint Excavations along the proposed route.

(1) The Persons notified should be provided with the Applicant’s proposed route plan, the target commencement date and the estimated completion date.

(2) Within ten (10) working days after the notification required by this subsection, any interested Person must notify the Applicant of their requirements so that the Applicant may incorporate these requirements, where reasonable, in its Permit application. The Applicant should summarize the responses it receives from other Persons in its Application.

(3) If the Applicant believes that it is not reasonably feasible to entertain the requests made by another Person(s) for conditions of joint Excavation, it should notify City and the other Person(s) within ten (10) working days from the date of receiving the requirements from the other Person(s) and provide reasons why it is considered not reasonable to do so. The parties are expected to endeavor to resolve any technical or commercial concerns among themselves, and the Applicant shall report the results of these efforts together with its application for a Permit.

Sec. 11.20.160. Construction of new streets. (a) Intent. The intent of this section is to provide for the construction of Infrastructure sufficient to allow broadband communications entities desiring to deploy Facilities in the future to do so by pulling the same through the Conduit and Appurtenances installed pursuant to this section and without additional Excavation within the Rights of Way. This section is intended to require those constructing public streets, including the City and Developers, to provide and install such Conduit and Appurtenances as may be necessary to accommodate future broadband needs within the Rights of Way without further Excavation. (b) Requirements—Adoption of Standards.

Whenever any new public street is constructed, whether by the City or other public entity as a public works project or by a Developer in conjunction with development, the following shall be required: (1) In all new local streets serving or abutting residential development, a minimum of four 2” Conduit with pull boxes on both sides of every street crossing/intersection with one pull-box centered mid-block between, or if installations are proposed in Rights of Way with block lengths linger than 700 feet, then at a minimum of 500’ feet intervals or less (and at every 90 degree turn) shall be installed by the party constructing the street.

(2) In all new collector or arterial streets serving or abutting residential development, and in all new streets serving or abutting nonresidential development, a minimum of six 2” Conduit with pull boxes on both sides of every street crossing/ intersection with one pull-box centered mid-block between, or if installations are proposed in Rights of Way with block lengths longer than 700 feet, then at a minimum of 500’ feet intervals or less (and at every 90 degree turn) shall be installed by the party constructing the street; provided however that at the discretion of the Director, the number and size of the Conduit and spacing of pull boxes may be modified to address the reasonably known plans and/or demand for broadband or future technology capacity in these locations.

VOLLEYBALL FROM PAGE XX

“We knew our best chance was to slow down their outside hitters,” Ralston Valley coach Ashley Ahlman said. “I think we executed with that well. I just think it took a lot of and energy and wore us down a little bit.”

Rampart’s senior tandem of Anjelina Starck Kyla Blatnick proved to be too tough for Ralston Valley. The two combined for 42 kills in the match.

“I’m just going to miss it a lot,” an emotional Ahlman said outside the arena after the loss. “I’m not even mad about the loss. I’m just sad that it’s over.”

There was a question if Ralston Valley would even get to compete at state due to COVID-19 issues the team delete with the week between regionals and state.

“It was pretty crazy with the whole quarantine thing,” Scherff said referring the Mustangs being quarantined the week before the state tournament. “I think the whole team was really grateful to be here. This group has grown up together. I think at the end of the day — even if it didn’t end the way we wanted to — we were just grate-

Ralston Valley senior Taylor Scherff (4) is able to hit a spike past Rampart junior Hadleigh Richardson (15) during the Class 5A state semifinal match May 13 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

It was a great experience for the Mustangs this year in sweeping the 5A Jeffco League that included two

field during the Season C. “Not everything is a guarantee,” Ahlman said. “You have to go out and battle. I really think we battled against a really, really good Rampart team.”

Ralston Valley does graduate eight seniors, but will have a solid core returning. Juniors Morgan McChesney, Emerson Reinke, Jordan Wisner and freshman Maddy Dominick will all be back next year.

“I really hope the returning players take this experience and run with it,” said Scherff, who plans on playing beach volleyball for Colorado Mesa University. “Now that they have been to the state semifinals they know what they want. They are going to be hungry for a win next year.”

While Ahlman is excited about the Fall 2021 season that is right around the corner, she know how special this team was.

“I’ll probably take a few weeks off before getting back in the gym,” Ahlman said of preparing for the Fall 2021 season. “I’m looking forward to that, but today it’s hard to say goodbye to the seniors.”
