Golden Class of 2021 celebrates completing “maze of high school” during graduation Sans masks, students walked across stage to brighter future BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Graduations are usually hopeful, celebratory events. But when you’ve finished your high school career

amid the disruptions and challenges brought on by the worst global pandemic in well over a century, the pomp and circumstance take on a whole new level of significance. That’s the case for Golden High School’s Class of 2021 and the unusual nature of their junior and senior years — and the comparative normalcy of the graduation day that was ending it — were discussed often during their graduation ceremony on May 20 at Jeffco Stadium

in Lakewood. Principal Brian Conroy pointed out early in the ceremony that it was taking place not only on a beautiful day but in a stadium where students were sitting together without masks and more than four guests per student were allowed to come. Neither was the case during the tightly-regulated Class of 2020 commencement held in August. “If nothing else, that in itself is a celebration,” said Conroy. “And if

2021 has given us nothing else, it’s taught us to take celebrations wherever you can find them.” But as one of the student speakers at the ceremony made clear, that lesson was far from their four years at Golden High and, especially, the most unusual one that ended their time at the school. “This past year, it was a test run,” one of the senior speakers, Alice SEE GRADUATION, P22

Masks, schools and rescue plan funds all topics at county Q&A County COVID-19 case numbers continuing to improve BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Yes, anyone who shows COVID-19 symptoms should still be tested for the virus. No, schools likely will not be able to stop all virus mitigation strategies by the start of next school year. And yes, it may be legal for your employer to require you to get a COVID-19 shot. Those are the answers to three of the many questions county government and public health leaders provided during an hour-long telephone town hall held on May 17, one day after most COVID-19 restrictions were retired in Jeffco and across Colorado. Here is a look at some of the highlights of the wide-ranging town hall: COVID-19 numbers dropping rapidly By mid-May, Jeffco was seeing about half as many new COVID-19 cases as it was at the start of the month. The county’s cast positivity rate had also dropped by a similar amount while recent growth of hospitalizations had started to slow and was expected to decline soon (it typically takes a few weeks for declines in cases to be reflected in declines in hospitalizations). But even with those declines, Jeffco’s case rate remaied higher on May 17 than the highest point it reached for the first seven months

on, put a mask on,” Comstock said. “For the next little while here I am asking those who are vaccinated to carry that mask in their pocket and if someone asks you to put it on then put it on. It’s common courtesy and respect.”

HOW MUCH IS MY CITY GETTING? Here is a look at how much each city in Jefferson County is going to receive from the American Rescue Plan: Lakewood - $22.6 million Westminster - $15.8 million Arvada - $11.7 million Littleton - $10.3 million Wheat Ridge - $6.7 million Golden - $4.5 million SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

of the pandemic. JCPH Executive Director Dawn Comstock said that is indicative that there is still “widespread transmission in Jefferson County.” Another concern? Most of the county’s cases recently have been among middle and high schoolaged people, she said. Still, there is reason for continued optimism. “By late May, I do expect vaccination coverage should be sufficient to begin to really drive down COVID-19 transmission in Jeffco,” Comstock said. Schools remain a controversial issue Multiple callers raised concerns about the possibility of schools continuing to employ social distancing, masks and other measures next year. Such measures, they said, have gone too far and are having negative consequences for student’s mental health. One caller even said she and a group of hundreds of parents have hired an attorney who the district “will be hearing from.” “We are over it and our kids are

the ones being affected,” the caller said. “If you’re vulnerable you can either get a vaccine or stay home because we are done.” Comstock responded that parents can likely expect “a great many changes” when school resumes next fall. including to definitions of a cohort and outbreak. However, some strategies, such as quarantining and isolation of students, will continued to be used. “We’re working hard to find a balance but we can’t just get rid of all viral mitigation strategies until all kids can be vaccinated,” she said. Masks still required in some spaces While vaccinated people are no longer required to wear masks within most public spaces, there are some exceptions. Those include healthcare facilities, K-12 schools, childcare centers, jails and DMV offices. Businesses, of course, are also free to require masks if they chose. “I ask everyone in Jeffco to please be respectful of those businesses and if they ask you to put a mask

Jeffco figuring out how to spend relief money Jeffco’s share of the American Rescue Plan dollars is $113 million (Jeffco will receive half this year and the rest in 2022). That number does not include the $73.2 million Jeffco cities will also receive from the plan. Jeffco Chief Financial Officer Stephanie Corbo said that the Federal government is still working on guidelines for how those dollars can be used. However, she expects the guidelines will allow for “broad use of those these funds in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency and its negative economic impact.” Corbo said possibilities for the dollars include providing assistance to households, small businesses and non-profits, aid to heavily impacted industries such as tourism and hospitality and premium pay to workers who perform essential work. “These areas include providing assistance to households, small businesses and non-profits or aid to affected industries such as tourism. Some dollars will also likely be used to make “necessary investments in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure,” she said. As the process continues, Jeffco residents will be able to learn more at www.jeffco.us/4277/AmericanRescue-Plan.

Shots fired during alleged attempted escape at Lookout Mountain campus 18-year-old resident arrested BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An 18-year-old resident of the Campus at Lookout Mountain center has been charged with attempted escape following an incident at the Golden youth services center. According to a press release,

Golden Police responded to the campus, which is located at 2901 Ford Street, at 6:22 a.m. on May 19. Police had “received a report of shots fire related to an attempted escape.” According to the release, a gold Lexus SUV with a bicycle rack was seen in the parking lot on the north side of the campus. The vehicle then drove around to a maintenance access road on the west side of the campus. Two or three people, which the

release notes are presumed to be men of unknown race and age, exited the vehicle. They were dressed in all dark clothing and used a bag containing rocks to throw an orange rope over the fence. As that was happening, campus resident Ernesto Ontiveros was being moved from a housing unit to the dining hall for breakfast. Ontiveros ran from staff towards the fence but was later contained by them. A maintenance worker told police

he heard a gunshot, followed by someone saying “get back,” and then a second gunshot. The three individuals then got back into the vehicle and fled. According to the release, no one in the facility was injured. Police later recovered two .380 shell casings in the area of where the vehicle was scene. Ontiveros was booked into the Jefferson County jail. The gold Lexus and three people inside it have not been located.

Funding boon to Jeffco’s Outdoor Lab program $235,000 donation ensures innovative programming will continue BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Outdoor Lab Foundation announced a donation of $235,000 to Jefferson County public schools for Outdoor Lab. The money will help sustain the popular program that’s been part of the district for six decades. Outdoor Lab offers sixth grade and high school students a unique

opportunity to spend a week in one of two mountain locations learning about earth science, wildlife biology, astronomy and forestry. Outdoor Lab reports that the donation funding will be distributed to 36 community schools to ensure every eligible student can attend the program regardless of their ability to pay. Funds also directly support intern stipends and special projects for both the Mount Evans and Windy Peak campuses. According to Bryan Martin, Executive Director, Outdoor Lab Foundation, the donation will help cover costs for 2020-21. He said the foundation plans to make a similar

donation next year. Martin described the past year as a “roller coaster,” but said despite the fundraising challenges of the pandemic and the potential for reduced philanthropy, the foundation’s partners, old and new, came through for Jeffco’s students. According to Martin, 5,000 sixth graders — and some seventh graders who had to miss out when schools went remote last year — were able to attend Outdoor Lab during the 2020-21 school year. “The Outdoor Lab program is a fun and transformative rite of passage for thousands of Jeffco kids annually,” Martin said. “We are thrilled to offer this additional

funding to allow all Jeffco sixth grade students to participate in Outdoor Lab and for youth to develop teamwork, an increased sense of self, an understanding of their place in the world, a passion for lifelong learning and a commitment to environmental stewardship.” The Outdoor Lab Foundation was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2003 to ensure the preservation and contribution of the Outdoor Lab program. The Foundation forges relationships with businesses, the community and nonprofit organizations to fund Outdoor Lab programs.

Here’s Some Practical Advice on Avoiding Scams When Hiring an Interstate Moving Company I have never been scammed by a moving company, because I have never used one. The last time I remember seeing a moving company truck at my home was when Mayflower moved my family from Maine to Denver in 1953. As an adult, I always used U-Haul trucks until I bought my first box truck as a Realtor in 2004. I used that truck (pulling a U-Haul trailer) to move my then-fiancée Rita from Seattle Golden that year. So, I have no personal experience to call upon when it comes to being scammed by movers, but, according to a federal agency, 1 in 10 consumers falls victim to a moving scam. That agency, which is part of the Dept. of Transportation, is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. “Stop Moving Scams in their Tracks” is one section on their website, fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move. I was reminded of this topic last week as Rita’s son and daughter-in-law hired a moving company to move from L.A. to Denver. They described the experience of hiring and working with their movers as nightmarish. Coincidentally, this week I also received and read a blog post on this subject by Anita Clark, a Coldwell Banker agent in Florida. Much of the following is adapted from her useful blog post. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself is to have a written con-

tract that clearly states what the mover will do as part of the terms of the contract. If the contract is vague or does not specifically identify what they are responsible for, you will need to resolve those issues before signing any contract. You do not want to get caught with questionable fees at the end of your moving company transaction. As with anything in life, if a mover’s quote looks too good to be true, it probably is. Quotes from legitimate moving companies should be within 10% of each other. If one quote is much lower, you’d be wise to not go with that company, because they may make up for that low quote on the back end. Anita says such companies have been known to refuse to open the truck at your new home until you pay additional money. According to her, some dishonest moving company representatives draw you in by having much lower rates or an astonishing range of services. Once an agreement is made, typically over the phone or online, they ask for a deposit. They then “sell” you to another moving company. The new company is completely unaware of the agreement with the dishonest moving company and provides their own list of services offered and a quote. When you try to reach the first company, they are either unresponsive or claim it is no longer their

The Geos Community located southwest of Indiana Street and 72nd Avenue in Arvada is a shining example of what’s possible in net zero energy home construction. All Geos homes are solar powered and have no natural gas service. Heating and cooling is provided by ground source or air source heat pumps, Water heaters utilize heat pumps, not gas, and all the homes and townhouses are built according to passive solar design standards. Two Geos homes were on last fall’s Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, and you can view narrated video tours of them on

our blog, GoldenREblog.com, where I also have information about a developer who bought the remaining land within the Geos Community but is intending to install natural gas service in all the homes they will build. Naturally, the current residents are quite upset about this turn of events and are hoping to convince the City of Arvada not to allow this diminution of the original intent of Geos to be a strictly net zero energy community. Visit DiscoverGeos.com to appreciate this community’s net zero energy mission.

responsibility. The second moving company, often more legitimate, is not going to honor the agreement made by the first company, so you are stuck having to pay more to the second company. In her blog post, Anita quoted the following common hidden fees consumers may face before the truck in unloaded: Gas fees: Gas costs to pick up and deliver items. Assembly/disassembly: To take apart or put items back together. Bulk items: Piano, large appliances, outdoor equipment, etc. Environmental: Typically seen as a disposal fee, such as for moving materials. Insurance: Moving companies are required to assume liability for the items they are moving. You should not be charged for insurance. Packing labor & supplies: This can be costly, so consumers should understand what is included in their contract. Storage fee: Delays happen. Identify upfront what happens if you can’t take delivery on the agreed upon date. Tolls: You should never pay for tolls. Weight: A company might give a low quote based on a weight estimate but a new and higher price once they drive to the scale and weigh the truck. Another way these movers try to fool customers is by adding weight to the truck before weighing it, such as diesel fuel or personnel.

Some of the key things you can do to avoid moving scams are: Online company check: Review their history, reviews, website and BBB rating and interview past clients if possible, and request an insurance certificate. In-person quote: Always ensure moving companies come to your house and do a thorough inventory so they can prepare an accurate quote. Written contracts: If you aren't offered a written contract or the contract does not itemize the services and fees, avoid that moving company. This is just some of the information and advice which you can find at that FMCSA website mentioned in the second paragraph above. If you are contemplating a move in which you can’t use Golden Real Estate’s moving truck, moving boxes, packing material and personnel, definitely learn all you can from that website. I welcome hearing your own experiences so I can share them with other readers.

Developer looking to build 12 homes next to Fairmount Elementary Current zoning only allows one residence on property BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A roughly five-acre parcel of land along McIntyre Street just east of Fairmount Elementary School is the latest piece of Fairmount to have caught the eye of local developers. On May 17, home design and build firm Work Shop Denver held a community meeting about its proposal to rezone the site — which is currently zoned for agriculture and home to two residential structures — to allow the firm to build 12 detached single family homes on the site. Ethan Watel, an engineer representing Work Shop Denver in the rezoning process, said the property would be subdivided into 12 lots of at least 12,000 square feet each. There would also be an open space and drainage tract on the eastern side of the property, which he said would “create a buffer” along McIntyre Street. “These are generously sized lots compared to what has been going into the neighborhood in the recent past,” said Watel. “It’s definitely not cramming in small tract homes.” Brad Weiman, the owner of Work Shop Denver, said his company is a full-scale design build firm. “All the architecture, general contracting and then manufactur-

ing many of the components of the house is all performed in-house under basically our control,” he said. Weiman said his firm was attracted to the parcel in part because it would “lend itself to larger single family homes.” Work Shop Denver is seeking to rezone the property to a Planned Development zoning district, a zoning classification classification. The 12,000-square-foot minimum lot size would be written into the standards for that district. The homes would likely range from 4,000 to 6,000 square feet and likely include a mix of ranch homes with basements and two-story homes with no basement. Weiman said it was too early to offer specific about potential pricing for the homes. Work Shop Denver has not yet purchased the property, but Weiman said it has an agreement with the current owner “to go through this phase of planning and if we are successful we have right to purchase it.” During the meeting, multiple residents brought up the proposed nearby development at 5025 McIntyre, where developer NexMetro Communities is proposing to build 33 home on 7.17 acres. Watel said the proposed Work Shop Denver development had no relationship to that one. A second commenter asked whether it would make sense to have two developments of differing densities in such close proximity. Watel

responded that he felt it would. “Actually, I believe the comprehensive plan recommendation for this area talks generally about varying lot sizes,” he said. “That was kind of the historical pattern, there weren’t really uniform lot sizes throughout so personally I don’t see any issue with it and I think it adds a nice little variety.” Multiple commenters also spoke positively of the proposal. One commenter named Eugene wrote that the proposal “looks like a

much better proposed density than the other new development projects going on in the area.” Another commenter, Dennis Pade, took his response a step further. “Can you please look at developing the Avilla [NexMetro] parcel?” he wrote. “You have a much better plan.” Work Shop Denver will have until June 17 to submit a formal rezoning application, which would ultimately go before and need approval from the county commissioners.

Longtime Transcript writer Dempsey remembered for love of bicycles, Golden For decades, Alice Dempsey wrote people features for the Golden Transcript. Here’s one for her. BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At 154 years and counting, the Golden Transcript has had a history most newspapers simply can’t match. Few people have been around for, and a part of, more of it than longtime Golden resident and Transcript contributor Alice Dempsey. Dempsey’s daughter, Mary-Jo Dempsey-Bacik, said her mother began contributing to the Transcript soon after she moved to Golden with her family in 1968. “I think she actually typed the TV guide,” said Dempsey-Bacik. Later on, Dempsey started writing the human-interest stories that were her foremost passion and would write hundreds such stories over the next half century. In fact, while Dempsey’s contributions to the Transcript waned as she got into her 90s, they never stopped. Dempsey submitted what turned out to be her last pieces — a poem about watching magpies in her yard and a profile of Pat Donahue — last fall. By then, Dempsey was 98-years-old and in hospice care. But she seemed as observant and spirited as ever, not to mention just as passionate about the things she held closest throughout the decades: writing, family, and community, especially that of her beloved Golden. “I enjoy looking at a tree and admiring it,” Dempsey told the Transcript last October. “I think if people just enjoy every day there is something beautiful about every day.” Dempsey-Bacik said that was passion was evident until the very end of her mother’s life, which came on May 6 at her home in central Golden. Just a couple of days before, Dempsey-Bacik was struggling with one of her health problems when she said to her daughter “I don’t want to give up on living.” “In a way as a daughter I was kind of wishing she would say `I’m ready to go’ but she wasn’t ready, she would say `there is so much I still want to do,’” Dempsey-Bacik said. “So I’d say she pretty much lived right up until the end and we are very lucky that she could and she did.” Golden Transcript Editor Glenn Wallace said he only worked with Dempsey in the last few years of her life, but that she “always found something charming, something to cherish about everything she wrote about. It was always a delight to receive a story from her.” Jill Jamieson-Nichols, who worked as a writer and editor for the Transcript while Dempsey was writing for the paper in the 1990s and has also spent decades as her neighbor on Washington Avenue, said one

MORE ON ALICE DEMPSEY Another passion of Dempsey’s was music, and that is the focus of a small display about her life and contributions to the city at the Golden History Museum & Park. The display includes a violin dating back to 1900 that Dempsey was gifted by her father and played for most of her adult life. Many of Dempsey’s articles about people from Golden were also compiled into a two-volume book called “People Leaving Footprints in Golden” in 2003. Both volumes can be viewed, but not checked out, at the Standley Lake Library in Arvada.

of her defining images of Dempsey is one that shared by many longtime Golden residents: that of riding her bike down to the old Golden Transcript office to drop off a story. “She was such a tiny little thing but she would ride her bike downtown and always stay and chat,” said Jamieson-Nichols. “She was always just so interested in other people, you always felt like she really cared about you and was interested in the people she wrote about.” That passion for others extended to her home, which was always welcome to others. “Especially over the last 15-20 years since my dad died, she really made her home almost like a bed-and-breakfast,” Dempsey-Bacik said. “To her, there was nothing more important than to have a guest stay over, and even sometimes it would be someone that my mom didn’t know that would come and stay and she would always want to offer them dinner.” But Dempsey’s interests extended far beyond her doorstep as she loved to travel and learn. She was particularly interested in Native American history and wrote a book called “Their Heritage and Hope-Five Generations Of The Life and Times Of An Oglala-Lakota Sioux family” in 2006. Her son, Tom Dempsey, said many of his favorite memories came fairly recently when his mother, by then well into her 90s, accompanied him and his late brother on trips all over the country. “She loved collecting rocks and we went to a diamond deposit in Arkansas and she was the last one to leave,” Tom said of one cherished memory. Still, Dempsey’s heart remained in the town where she lived for over half of her life, as she reminded her children frequently as the end grew nearer. Dempsey-Bacik said that over the last few years, Dempsey would mention her love of Golden and joy of having lived there every time she saw her daughter, who lives in California. “She always loved that there was a historic feel to Golden but it was always really vibrant,” DempseyBacik said. “But her most favorite was all the people and the friends she had made during all those years. That is something she would tell us over and over, how much she appreciated Golden and was thankful she had been able to stay there.”

Farmer’s Markets look forward to post-COVID summer The perfect way to spend a weekend morning is back BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Diego Hernandez is ready to sell some veggies. And from the look of the line forming outside his stand at the Southwest Plaza Farmer’s Market, people are ready to buy. There’s a variety of garden-fresh fare, but the smell of green chiles roasting beside the stand is a definite draw. Today, he’s got Anaheim, poblanos and jalapeños, charred, blistered and ready to spice up your every culinary creation for $5 per bag. “We started a month early this year — the first weekend of April,” he said. “So, it was pretty nice to be able to come out here and, we got six days out of eight for the month of April, so I consider that a success.” Hernandez says the crowds have been getting better and better each week. “It started out a little bit slow because it’s been pretty chilly, but now that the sun’s come back out, it’s been fantastic,” he said. A 10-year veteran of the farmer’s market game, Hernandez and his business partner Jeremy both have backgrounds as chefs. They met at a market, became friends, decided to join forces and have spent a decade selling food he describes as fresh, clean and tasty. He said COVID took a toll on vendors, but not nearly as bad as what restaurants faced. “We were able to operate. We did have to have some barriers set up — roping off the entire perimeter, and we were putting the food into bags, so we were the only ones touching it,” he said. “It was kind of weird, but effective.” Now, with only an occasional mask in sight and distancing requirements eased, the market looks like a slice of pre-pandemic life has returned. Rosalind May, Executive Director, Colorado Farmers Market Association, says she thinks it’s going to be a great summer for farmer’s markets. “People are excited to get outside,” she said. “When the pandemic hit and the food supply chain sort of

Golden city council planning lodging tax question for November ballot City is one of few in area that doesn’t tax hotel stays BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Golden voters head to the polls next November, they will likely be asked to decide whether the city will institute the first lodging tax in its history. On May 18, the Golden city council instructed city staff to draft language for a ballot question that would ask residents to approve a tax on all stays in the city of up to 30 days, including stays at hotels, motels, Airbnbs and even campgrounds. The council is now scheduled to review that question and vote on whether it will be referred to the ballot at its meeting on June 15. The question of whether Golden should institute a lodging tax has percolated in the city for years as Golden has long been one of just a few cities both in the Denver metro area and nationwide not to have such a tax. However, those discus-

sions have gained steam more recently and council hammered out a preliminary framework for the tax at its retreat last April. Under that framework, which council agreed city staff should move forward with drafting into the ballot question and the accompanying ordinance that will lay out how the tax will be collected and money will be spent in greater detail, the city will seek voter approval to levy a lodging tax of six percent. Golden Community and Economic Developer Steve Glueck said that 6% figure would put the city’s lodging tax “midrange” among cities in metro Denver. The city of Denver, for example, charges a lodging tax of 10.75% while Boulder’s city lodging tax is 7.5%. Cities that charge a lower figure include Lakewood (3%) and Arvada (2%). For the first 10 years, tax proceeds would be earmarked for two purposes. 20% of the revenue would be committed to funding what a memo from Glueck describes as “additional programs or projects to address the impact of visitors on the community.” The memo states targets for such spending could include enhanced maintenance, parking management and public safety.”

The remaining 80% would be spent on what Glueck’s memo referred to as “thriving community projects and programs intended to facilitate enhanced quality of life and amenities for the Golden community that would otherwise not be funded.” The memo states that such projects could include “parks, trail and open space improvements, infrastructure projects, community mobility and sustainability projects and even housing programs and projects. Glueck said the city estimates that a 6% lodging tax would initially generate around $1.5 million per year with that number growing over time. That estimate is based on city lodging occupancy prepandemic. Much of the May 18 discussion focused on to present the lodging tax to the community so that residents could understand how it would work and the potential benefits. Councilman Rob Reed proposed calling the tax plan “The Golden plan” as a way of highlighting the potential benefits for residents. “In promoting the lodging tax concept, we would explain that The Golden Plan is for the big picture

stuff that we think is really cool and can’t do otherwise,” he said. But while there are still final decisions to be made about the precise wording of the ballot question and ordinance, all seven members of the council expressed a desire to move forward with the 6% framework. Councilman Jim Dale said he was an agreement with an email from a constituent who said they travel a lot and have never once checked the lodging tax before departing. “I think we should have a fair lodging tax, which is midrange in our region here,” he said.

Memorial for champion road racer Gwen Inglis remembered by cycling community BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mourners, teammates and friends gathered in Green Mountain, May 18, to grieve, share memories and pay tribute to cyclist Gwen Inglis, who was killed two days earlier in a collision with an automobile. A white “ghost bike” placed near the spot of the accident was quickly surrounded by bouquets of fresh cut flowers and messages of love. Stories were told and tears were shed under an ominous, gray sky fitting to the occasion. Inglis was the defending 45-49 road race national champion. Inglis’ husband and fellow competitive cyclist, Michael Inglis, spoke of her with a smile. He had ridden to the memorial on the tandem bike he and his wife had shared. “I can’t describe what our family and friends are going through right now,” he said. “She had that sparkle and zest for life that everyone looks for in a spouse.” Selfless, amazing, giving and loving are just a few of the words he used to describe the wife he’d lost less than 48 hours before. Attorney, Megan Hottman, who helped organize the event, choked back tears as she explained the significance of the ghost bike.

Maggie Long’s murder now considered a hate crime Law enforcement hopes more tips will help solve the case BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Now that the FBI has elevated the murder of Bailey teen Maggie Long to a potential hate crime, more manpower will be available to find her killers in a crime that rocked the 285 Corridor, according to Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw. “(The FBI) is assigning another analyst, and that will help,” McGraw said, noting that in addition to more investigators working the case, the status shift gets more media attention, which usually generates more tips. The FBI along with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Park County Sheriff’s Office continue to follow up leads in the Dec. 1, 2017, murder of Long, who was 17 at the time. Long was initially reported miss-

CRIME TIP There is now a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual responsible for Long’s murder.

ing when she failed to show up for a concert she helped organize at Platte Canyon High School. Her body was identified about a week after being found inside her home. Her family’s home was set on fire and a number of items were stolen, including guns, ammunition, a safe and jade figurines. The FBI defines a hate crime as “a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by the offender’s bias against a religion, disability, ethnicity/national origin, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity,” according to information supplied by Leslie Cook with the FBI Denver media team. “The FBI is committed to com-

bating hate crimes and condemns violence directed toward any individual or group. We are grateful for the community’s support of Maggie’s Maggie Long family and their patience with the ongoing investigation,” said Denver FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider in a statement. McGraw said Long’s murder is one of those cases that law enforcement never stops investigating. “I have to say that this case has been one of those cases that is never put into a filing cabinet,” he said. “Leads come in, are checked, don’t pan out, and we continue to go on. I can tell you that the amount of work that has gone into the case is tremendous. In the 3-1/2 years since she was killed, there’s been just a huge number of hours, and most of it has been behind the scenes.” He said his department got a lead from Oklahoma a few months ago and sent two detectives to investigate, but it turned out to be unrelated to Long’s murder.

“There’s nothing definite out there right now,” he said, adding that officials believe she walked in on a burglary-in-progress at her home. “I never knew her, but from what I’ve heard from people in the area, she was a sweet, sweet girl, and people adored her,” McGraw said. “She was just a great kid. For something like this to happen is just horrible for our community.” The Long family recently contributed additional funds to what is now a $75,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual responsible for Long’s murder. Anonymous tips can be called into the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov, or by contacting the Colorado Bureau of Investigation tip line at 303-239-4243. McGraw said he is confident the murder will be solved. “I do absolutely think we will solve this case,” he said. “Next week, six months from now, a year from now — it’s a solvable case. Someday someone will talk about this, and we will find the people who did it.”

Developer explains concept for Evergreen Gateway Attendees had many questions about plan for hotel, retail in El Rancho BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Evergreen Gateway will provide a beautiful entryway for visitors and residents alike, according to the developer of a proposal to put commercial development on Evergreen Parkway across from Walmart. Some of the 120 residents attending the virtual community meeting on May 19 had many questions as they tried to understand the impact of the proposal for a four-story, 100room boutique hotel, convenience store/gas station and three to four retail/restaurant buildings. Jack Buchanan of Evergreen, who is spearheading the effort, wants to rezone the properties from agricultural and commercial to planned development, combining the RTD Park-n-Ride, Foothills Fire, Alpine Rescue and former Observatory Café properties. It would entail moving both Alpine Rescue and the fire station, which would happen first, and no residential is planned. He also wants to move Rainbow Hill Road to make the intersection with Highway 40 safer. SEE GATEWAY, P13

The developers of the property in El Rancho at Evergreen Parkway and Highway 40 want to build a hotel, gas station/convenience store and additional commercial development. The proposal also calls for moving the Foothills Fire station and the Alpine Rescue SCREENSHOT Team headquarters.

Perlmutter introduces bill to study effects of school shooter drills Bipartisan effort seeks to minimize trauma to students BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D) is part of a bipartisan effort to fund a study of the mental health effects of active shooter drills on K-12 students. Perlmutter, along with two other house members, has introduced a bill that would authorize $1 million for the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine to examine the possible mental health effects of active shooter drills, lockdown drills,

GATEWAY FROM PAGE 12

Attendees asked about building heights, retention ponds, whether another hotel was necessary, why a gas station and convenience store were part of the proposal, wildfire evacuation, connectivity to bike trails, and whether a nonprofit such as a children’s museum could be part of the plan. Because questions and comments in the chat only could be seen by the developers, it was difficult to determine whether the public reacted positively or negatively to the presentation. The community meeting is the first step before a developer files a formal rezoning application. Foothills Fire Chief Alan Anderson is thrilled with the proposal

and other firearm violence prevention activities in schools on school staff and students. According to a press release from Perlmutter’s staff, the study would also look at the effects to younger children and children with disabilities. “Colorado has had more than its fair share of active shooter and school shooting tragedies, leaving many students traumatized and frightened. We must ensure school safety drills don’t trigger these anxieties and instead give students the knowledge to respond appropriately to threatening situations and potentially help save lives,” Perlmutter said. “This research will help inform school administrators as they balance school preparedness with the mental health of students and

staff.” An article titled “Mitigating Psychological Effects of Lockdowns,” found on the National Association of School Psychologists website, nasponline.org, points out the pros and cons of the drills. “Lockdowns can save lives and are considered best practice in crisis response. However, depending on circumstances, some lockdowns may produce anxiety, stress, and traumatic symptoms in some students or staff,” it says. The legislation, co-sponsored by Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) has the support of hannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. “The best way to make our schools safer is to focus on proven policies and programs designed to intervene before gun violence

can happen, instead of relying on extreme drills that can traumatize children, robbing them of their belief that schools are, in fact, extremely safe spaces,” Watts said. “We stand proudly with Representatives Murphy, Perlmutter, and Fitzpatrick, and House appropriators advocating for greater funding to better understand the trauma these drills have on our children.” Colorado has suffered several school shootings since the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School tragedy that raised awareness of school shootings nationwide. But a 2018 Pew Research survey of students ages 13-17 found the majority of U.S. teens fear a shooting could happen at their school. One in four saying they are extremely worried about a shooting.

because it would mean a new fire station at no cost to taxpayers, and he told attendees that his department can provide fire service to the proposed development. Anderson explained that the Rainbow Hill Road and the Lookout Mountain stations need repairs or replacement, and the department doesn’t have enough space for the entire staff to train. He figured a new fire station would cost about $2 million, and it would be up to 10 years before the department could afford the building. Buchanan and representatives of Oz Architecture explained that while the plans are conceptual, they want the buildings to have a rustic feel. “It is important to us to recognize how important this site is,” said Rob Rydel with Oz Architecture. “Our overall vision is bound by one look, and we would like to create a gate-

way into Evergreen. … This will be a community portal to meet whether a small group in the lobby of the hotel or at a pocket park.” One person was particularly concerned about evacuation in case of a wildfire, reminding everyone that Evergreen is at high risk for a catastrophic event. Anderson said because of the county’s protocols for evacuations during an emergency, residents that use Swede Gulch Road to access Interstate 70 and those north of the proposed development would be the first to evacuate, so they wouldn’t

clog the roads. In response to a question about Evergreen Metropolitan District providing water and sewer to the site, Buchanan said the district was updating its water master plan to determine whether it can provide the necessary utilities. In response to questions, the developer’s representatives said a traffic study would be completed as part of the rezoning process in addition to working with CDOT to move Rainbow Hill Road. CDOT would make decisions on whether traffic lights would be installed.

VOICES Assessor process may be delayed this year

very two years, real property is assessed to begin the process that determines how much property owners will pay in taxes. Assessments in Jefferson County were mailed May 1 and owners have until June 1 to file protests if they believe the assessor has valued their properties for more than they are worth. It’s always a good idea to take a good look at the assessed value. If it is too high, owners will pay more than their fair share. Because of a backlog in updating county records for property sales, some taxpayers may be subject to increased tax bills without a meaningful way to challenge assessments. According to a phone message on the Assessor’s Office’s main phone line, real estate sales

While the message seems designed to reassure people who sold property that they will not be liable for new taxes, the people who can be harmed by this delay are new owners. Unless those new owners know both that a new assessment had been completed and how to find it on the assessor’s website, they have been left without knowing the value their property has been assessed, if and how much the assessed value has changed, and how that may impact their property tax bills for

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Help us keep serving you! Do you love a good wine? We do! At Indulge Bistro and Wine Bar, we love to share our favorite wines with our customers, and one of the ways we’ve been able to serve you this last year is through selling alcohol to go. Governor Polis signed an executive order last year allowing restaurants the ability to sell alcohol beverages to go. Now, the state legislature is reviewing a bill that would extend this service for another five years. Colorado restaurants lost about $3 billion altogether in 2020, and, as you know, many restaurants had to close their doors for good. Having alcohol to go for the next few years would give us a little more certainty in these uncertain times. Thankfully, people are getting vaccinated, capacity restrictions are being lifted, and the restaurant industry is heading toward recovery. Being able to sell alcohol to go helped us bring in more revenue for the business and staff members were able to earn more. Although alcohol to go will not make up for all of our lost revenue from last year, it will give a much needed boost. Indulge Bistro and Wine Bar has been in business since 2008, and we look forward to continuing to serve you for years to come. SEE LETTERS, P15

As we decide how best to protect the people who live within the boundaries of EFPD, it is imperative that we have a complete public understanding of the best ways to prioritize resources.

Some changes for the worst

e recently stopped in at a McDonald’s on our way home from a soccer game, and, as we are wont to do, all we ordered was HITTING dessert. My son, HOME all of 14, and burning through about 7,000 calories a day just staying alive, ordered a shake, half chocolate, half vanilla, and some fries. He’s done this, mind you, about 70 times in his life Michael Alcorn with no problems — doesn’t seem that complicated. But, for some reason, McDonald’s has a new rule, and they do not allow half-and-half shakes anymore. So, accordingly, we will not be stopping at McDonald’s for dessert anymore. I honestly don’t know if McDonald’s is going to notice any drop in revenue because of this policy. And there may actually be a very logical reason for it. But all I know is that it’s a simple procedure that makes life better for a handful of customers which they are no longer going to perform. Sometimes businesses and entities and people do things for very bad reasons, or for no reason at all, that ultimately don’t make any sense. They are self-inflicted wounds. This seems like one of them. My favorite sport seems to be going through a season of that right now.

The entirety of major league baseball is having a sudden inability to, you know, play baseball. While the game/industry of baseball is spending great energy trying to make the game more entertaining, the sport of baseball is spending all its energy making the game more tedious. Nearly 2 out of every 5 at bats now ends in either a strikeout, a walk, or a home run. That means that for nearly 40% of a baseball game, which already tends to be slow-paced and an “acquired taste,” nothing is happening. Even worse, strikeouts and walks require more pitches, which means a slower game. Why would baseball commit this self-inflicted wound to itself? Because a physicist, a statistics guy, and a computer programmer got together and calculated that by increasing the “launch angle” of a hit, a batter can dramatically increase his likelihood of hitting a home run. Sadly, that also requires an alteration of the swing path, which tends to leave more holes in a swing, which leads to more strikeouts. The analytics nerds spoke, and the jocks changed. “And don’t get me started on the kerfuffle between altitude sports TV -the home of the Nuggets and avalanche – and Comcast cable television.” And the audience — especially young people — tuned out. We’ve been watching the same thing happen over the last six months with regard to the schools. The classroom teachers took on the role of hero, completely reinventing

American education in 48 hours last Spring, and doing ridiculously difficult work this year (take a look in the faculty parking lot this Friday — see how many of the people leaving look gratifyingly tired compared to how many look utterly emotionally F spent). In the meantime, the teachers’ *unions* around the country have been engaged in a tone-deaf battle of wills with communities who want to see their children back in school. It’s been particularly egregious in systems with very strong unions and a high percentages of people of color and poverty. Finally last week, the head of the AFT issued a statement that she thought kids should be back in school in the Fall: hard to know if she had a change of heart, or if it was merely coincidence that her statement came the day after it was revealed that San Francisco schools — a bastion of union control — would be having inperson school the rest of the year, but on an extremely limited basis and with no attempt at actual instruction. Teachers deserve to be celebrated — my colleagues have been rock stars! But, you can understand how, in some circles, the actions of the unions invalidate much of the good that has been wrought. Fortunately, Jeffco Schools has had no such dichotomy; that, in itself, should be commended. By the way, just to keep you updated, it has now been NINE months

A good guide to nearby mountain adventure

here is nothing inappropriate in venturing in the outdoors on your own, after all the whole outdoors world suggest a sense of OUTDOOR adventure and ofLIVING fers exploring the unseen, the unknown, the new. But there is also something to be said for preparing and researching. The Georgetown, upper Gilpin County I-70 region is a growRon Hellbusch ing attraction for the knowledgeable and the adventurous newbies and inquisitive outdoorsman. This region offers an interesting combination of mountain flora and fauna. The variety of wildlife, plant, trees and historical waste mineral from the Clear Creek drainage basin’s rich silver and gold mining history, is well within reach of the outdoor explorer. However, to fully experience these assets of nature can be far more fulfilling with some local help from one who knows. This is where Georgetown’s Kim-

berly Knox’s local experience enters the picture. Kimberly provides a unique service of guiding individuals, families and youth groups, and sharing the offerings to Front Range outdoors visitors. With over three decades of hiking, studying, writing, photographing and recording the region’s natural outdoors, Kimberly Knox has assured visitors they can become comfortably familiar with this region of our Front Range mountains. “I stress outdoors safety and value of good hiking equipment, as first step priorities, as we plan and prepare the hikes,” Kimberly stated. Given her broad experience in group adventure guiding, rockclimbing and mounting biking, Kimberly can offer hikes in a wide range of environments. “Clear Creek has so much to offer in steep mountain slopes with amazing vistas, to wildflower meadows with small flowing snow melt brooks with opposing vertical rock walls with raging white-water rapids,” she advised. Kimberly customizes her clients’ experience and fitness level with options for an exciting and positive hiking experience. She can include

Given that the parents of students in the state’s premier high school are irate re the destruction of its curriculum, and how it will affect their children, might we assume that there is more mischief afoot statewide?

Prior to becoming a master storyteller, Lev had a varied career. He worked as an auto mechanic, electrician, oceanographer, and hydrologist. He earned a Master of Science in Applied Science at the University of Montana in 1963. After seven years as a scientist, he became more interested in the communication of science than in research itself. He founded Green Mountain Photo in 1970 to help scientists improve their visual presentations to explain their work. “It was rewarding to help people become more successful in their careers,” he said. “It was also exciting to participate in the evolution from hand artwork and

effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Outdoor mask mandates have seen rollbacks for months, with Jefferson County Public Health and Tri-County Public Health — which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — lifting their outdoor mask mandates on April 5 and Boulder County following suit on April 9. A statewide executive order was amended on May 14 to allow fully vaccinated people to go outdoors without wearing masks. Nevertheless, many public health officials are urging caution when visiting trails and open spaces in the coming weeks. The pandemic is far from over in Colorado, which on May 18 reported a case rate of 20 per 100,000 people — the highest in the U.S. at the time of the report. SEE TRAILS, P17

Count on CJRO bringing the joy to Lakewood COMING ATTRACTIONS

f you ask most musicians, there’s a unique thrill and community that comes with performing live. But it is difficult to imagine how much greater that feeling is when it has been more than a year with just a performance or two. “For the band, any chance to get together and play is a joy and pleasure,” Drew Zaremba, artistic director of the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra, said fondly. “Getting back in front of audiences has been great because we like putting together programs and framing the night in a special way.” This spring the orchestra has been returning to stages, and its third performance will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 6 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway in Lakewood. The show is called “Baise, Blues and More!,” and according to provided information, the show will fea-

ture a variety of blues, jazz and Latin classics including Count Basie’s “Blues in Hoss Flat”, Stan Kenton’s “A Little Minor Blues,” and Chick Corea’s “Armando’s Rhumba.” Members of the orchestra are some of the most talented musicians and soloists in the metro area, ranging from 30 years old to musicians in their 60s. In addition, several members are gifted arrangers and writers - talents which the orchestra makes use of by inviting them to do arrangements for some of the programs. “We love playing new stuff as well as classics - we always try to look both backward and forwards,” Zaremba said. “It’s about balance - we want variety and a great representation of diverse bands and styles.” Some notable orchestra members include lead trumpet player Andrew Fowler, who also performs with the United States Air Force Academy Band; internationally

known drummer Mike Marlier has performed and recorded with artists including Dave Grusin, Benny Golson and Nelson Rangell; and bassist Eduardo “Bijoux” Barbosa, a world-class studio musician that can be heard on more than 300 recordings, according to provided information. Zaremba became the orchestra’s artistic director in 2020 and has composed and arranged pieces for the BBC Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Pyramid Jazz Orchestra in Kanazawa, Japan. What draws him to the jazz world is the uniqueness of each performance - something that can never be duplicated. “It’s a beautiful thing because even if it’s the same song, there’s a new soloist that is going to do something different,” he said. “Listeners are experiencing something SEE READER, P17

Jefferson County Public Health Public Affairs Manager Ashley Sever said that despite the move to “level clear,” JCPH was still recommending that people wear masks if they’re in large crowds or uncertain of the vaccination status of those around them. “We’ve moved to level clear,” said Sever. “We still recommend when anybody is around people who don’t have a good vaccination status, if they don’t know, or if they know they’re unvaccinated or in larger crowds, things like that, we certainly want people to continue to take prevention measures.” Dr. Bernadette Albanese, an epidemiologist with Tri-County Health Department, added that while getting a vaccine is likely the best thing to do to avoid getting sick, there are increased risk factors when in heavily trafficked public spaces that would compel mask wearing. “Getting a vaccine is probably the number one thing you can do to keep healthy,” said Albanese. “When you’re outdoors with a lot of people you don’t know — you don’t know their infection status — and you want to put yourself in the best position to remain healthy, how about a mask? “I don’t think it’s hard to do,” Albanese continued. “And it’ll protect you. And also protect others.” Sever added that some examples

of high-risk situations could include being outdoors with people who are being boisterous or have recently vacationed. “When you’re in a higher-risk scenario,” said Sever, “like with someone who recently vacationed, or if people are yelling or screaming or singing and you’re in closer proximity with those people, that’s another reason to wear a mask outdoors. It’s in those higher-risk scenarios where wearing a mask outdoors is still probably a good idea.” Enessa Janes, Arvada’s deputy director of the Department of Vibrant Communities and Neighborhoods, said that she recommended

people continue wearing masks and practice social distancing in parks and on trails, despite the change to “level clear”. Janes added that in situations where it is impossible to socially distance, using one’s best judgment should suffice. “For our part we’re really encouraging people to continue to use (masks),” said Janes, “and to follow CDC guidelines and not visit the parks if they’re feeling sick. “There will probably be situations where you can’t always keep six feet social distancing with passing,” Janes continued. “In those cases, step off the trail if you need to, but please don’t step off so far that you disturb the natural

environment or disrupt the habitat. Just be as respectful to other walkers and hikers as possible.” Janes added that she anticipated continued high usage of open spaces, and thanked the maintenance teams that have been working to keep public parks clean throughout the pandemic. “Our trails and parks have gotten so much use over the course of the pandemic,” said Janes,” and can continue to get that use because of how hard our teams have been working to keep the parks looking clean and ready for increased use. We’re really anticipating the same level of use this summer — if not more.”

Actual start of summer is upon us

think it’s finally going to happen. I can safely put my snow blower in storage in the garage and break out the lawn mower. Here in Colorado you never want to jump the gun AVENUE with stuff like that FLASHES because it actually can snow in June, but that’s pretty rare and if that happens it will probably melt by the next day. Yes, the summer season is about to kick off this weekJohn Akal end, so go through your drawers and closets and find your shorts, tank tops and sandals. It’s time to get out and soak in some Vitamin D from the sun. Although we have four seasons, just when those seasons change in our minds is different than what the calendar says. Most of us think of summer as starting when school gets out and ending when it starts up again. Sort of … school schedules have changed a little bit since I was a kid, but we all think of summer as being bracketed by two holiday weekends.

Memorial Day and Labor Day. Well, this weekend is Memorial Day weekend. It’s a day for us to remember. The first thing we have to remember is which one of the two above mentioned weekends it is. I’m 61 years old and I still have to stop and think for a minute as to which one comes at the beginning of the Summer and which one is at the end. Half the time I get them mixed up until they are approaching. But, a few weeks before they happen we get inundated by businesses advertising their giant Memorial or Labor Day weekend sales and that always puts us on the right track. At least it does for me. Of course Memorial Day itself is Monday, May 31 and it is a day we set aside to remember those people we have lost. I think it’s important to keep that in mind, especially this year. It’s been a hard one for a lot of us. My wife and I have lost almost 20 friends and family members in the last year. Some from COVID, but others from various other causes too. So over the course of this weekend, let’s take a some time to reflect on those people in our lives that we will always remember.

Although we live in a constantly changing world, some things will always stay the same, and one of those things is that Summertime is the time to get wet. Swimming pools, running through sprinklers, water balloons, squirt guns and drinking out of the hose or for the more adventurous, tubing, kayaking and white water rafting on our rivers. There’s not a lot of surfing going on around here, but we do have boating, jet skis and waterskiing on a lot of our lakes and ponds. One of the things a lot of people enjoy and look forward to is going to water parks, and this year they all look like they will be opening again. Golden runs a great little one right here in town and it’s called The Splash at Fossil Trace. It’s located by the clubhouse for the Fossil Trace golf course on the south side of town near the Jefferson County courthouse. The actual address is 3151 Illinois Street, but you will have to access it from the south side off of Jefferson County Parkway since Illinois Street is interrupted by the golf course. It’s a fun place with water slides, spray fountains, lap pools and even a sandy beach area that is fun for the whole family. It scheduled to be open-

ing this coming Saturday, May 29. But, according to the city’s website, you are going to need to make a reservation. To do that you can call them at (303) 277-8700. Now, there’s a bit of a hiccup with them opening up this year. They need lifeguards. For some reason there is a shortage of them so far this year. That’s kind of unusual, as being a lifeguard has always been a pretty popular job for young people in the Summer, but never the less, they are not publishing their hours or admission fees as of this writing. So, if you are a certified lifeguard and need a job, just go to the City of Golden’s website at www.cityofgolden. net and click on the Work tab. They have lots of other summer jobs listed there too. Check it out, you might find a new career path you never thought about before. John Akal is a well-known jazz artist/ drummer and leader of the 20-piece Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra.

Mount Evans to reopen with timed-entry reservations BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Those wanting to visit Mount Evans this summer will need to make

reservations first. The U.S. Forest Service and other stakeholders are implementing a timed-entry reservation system, similar to the one used at Rocky

Mountain National Park. Visitors can buy passes online, enter during a two-hour window, and stay as long as they desire. Clear Creek District Ranger Scott Haas said the intent is threefold: protect the public and USFS personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic, improve visitor experiences, and preserve the health of the mountain’s flora and fauna. He also believes the new system will alleviate the summertime traffic jam around Echo Lake Lodge. The highway to the summit is scheduled to open for vehicle traffic June 4, depending on weather. While prices remain the same based on vehicle type, there will now be an additional $2 reservation fee. Those entering the highway on bikes and on foot do not need reservations, USFS spokeswoman Reid Armstrong said. Once the online reservation system goes live, which was scheduled for this week, Armstrong said visitors will be able to purchase various tours based on which area or areas around Mount Evans they intend to visit. Entry before 8 a.m. and after 6:30 p.m. will remain free, however if someone is taking up a parking spot during the day, they need to have a reservation, Armstrong clarified. Likewise, if visitors only want to drive the highway without stopping,

they can get a free hang tag at the welcome station. “Our estimations are that most people are going to want to get a reservation,” Armstrong continued. Even with the reservation system, there is a possibility that trailheads will still be full for those arriving later in the day. Thus, the USFS will be monitoring and adjusting the system as needed as part of its adaptive management, Armstrong said. “We’re basing it on data we’ve collected about use patterns and available parking spots,” she said. Haas told the Clear Creek County commissioners during a May 18 meeting that there will be signs along the major thoroughfares to inform visitors of the change, and there might be some day-of passes available at the welcome station. To make a reservation, visit recreation.gov.

‘Know before you go’ With land managers across the state anticipating incredibly high levels of use this summer, the USFS and its partners are encouraging visitors to research their recreation areas and be aware of any new rules before visiting.

Coffee shop weathers pandemic with records and waffles Stylus & Crate in Wheat Ridge celebrates first year of business BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a long career spent working in various facets of the natural foods business, Tadd Overstreet was looking to make a lifestyle change. “I wanted to go build a place that was a true, honest connection point for the community,” he said. “And I think there’s nothing more that you connect over than great drink and great food and then music, which I think is the natural platform to get to know someone.” So about two years ago, Overstreet began making plans to open a new business that would provide that connection point while bringing together those elements (and putting a unique twist on them). The result was Stylus & Crate, which can perhaps best be described as Wheat Ridge’s newest coffee shop, but one where customers can also act as the space’s DJ by selecting a record from the shop’s extensive library to play on its turntable. Then there are the Belgian-style Liege waffles, which provide a unique focus for the shop’s culinary offerings and can be enjoyed plain or topped with a variety of fruits and sauces.

“The goal was to build a coffee shop that had waffles and vinyl,” he said. “But we’ve evolved into a waffle and record shop that happens to sell coffee.” Confronting pandemic challenges But while Overstreet ready to give Wheat Ridge something new and thought the city would be ready to embrace it as well, one thing he didn’t count on was a global pandemic, which was upturning life for everyone just as work was finishing up on the Stylus & Crate space at

6985 W. 38th Avenue last spring. While construction was actually completed in April, he and his family “sat and twiddled there thumbs until June” to allow the initial COVID shutdowns to ease up before opening the shop that month. Although there were many “terrible times” during that opening period, Overstreet said one of the hardest came when he and his staff had to put all the shop’s furniture in place to complete the pre-opening inspection only to then pull half of it on the night before it opened to comply with capacity and distancing restrictions. “When you spend two years dreaming and building and planning and then you dismantle it before you even open, that was a really hard experience,” he said. “It wiped out what was supposed to be a really exciting time of opening up, promoting and having that grand ribbon cutting. Instead, we basically just had to unlock the door and say come on in.” Despite the challenging circumstances, word spread organically about the shop and business gained steam. But the Overstreets weren’t out of the woods just yet: a second forced shutdown of coffee shops and other businesses that began in November left them again having to improvise. Unable to have customers sit inside the space, they ended up removing all the tables and chairs and inviting local artisans to bring their products to sell in the space. “It was like ‘there’s no craft fairs this year’ so it was like bring your stuff in, it doesn’t cost you anything and we’ll sell it for you and have our

own craft fair,” he said. “We did that through Christmas.” The shop ended up developing partnerships with multiple artists whose work it continues to sell and Overstreet said that experience is illustrative of both the drive to serve the community and willingness to reinvent itself that have carried the shop through its first year. But now, with its first birthday approaching, Overstreet said Stylus & Crate was about to make perhaps its biggest reinvention yet as the business readied to open for the first time at full capacity following Jefferson County’s move to Level Clear. “We will reinvent ourselves again Saturday night,” he said on May 14, ahead of the move to Level Clear on May 16. “We close at four and we will bring all the tables that we originally had and bring back the barstools we originally had and we will redo the record store to add some more stuff to it.” Now, even as Stylus & Crate settles into what he hopes will be a less volatile post-pandemic normal, the shop’s embrace of its evolution is now as baked into its business plan as the waffles themselves. “I challenge every person we hire that this is their coffee shop,” he said. “And the expectation is that when they leave here their fingerprints are in here.” A Liege waffle from Stylus & Crate.

food storage order at all sites, which should minimize bear encounters. Haas and Armstrong said bear encounters in the ARNF numbered in the hundreds last year, and thankfully, no one was hurt. As for the fire season’s outlook, Haas said the Front Range is currently expecting a normal season. While conditions can change very quickly, the forests are not nearly as dry as they were at this time last year, he said. “We’re not out of the woods,” Haas said, “but we’re looking much better.”

Jeffco Eats volunteers attended to accept the check and pack lunches to deliver to nearby schools after the event. According to Firehouse Subs, Brainard has donated nearly $50,000 to community groups through sponsorships and donations. “It’s been an incredible 10 years of serving guests and supporting our community in Lakewood,” said Brainard. “We feed people every day at Firehouse Subs so I’m honored to be able to CONTRIBUTED help Jeffco Eats feed children in need throughout our area.”

School, particularly as they adapted to pandemic learning, to help solve one problem he said will shape all of their futures: climate change. “At Golden (High School), we’ve become quite excited by problem solving,” he said. “Thus, we shouldn’t think of ourselves as graduating into some soon-to-be-dystopian world but rather into an unsolved problem…” That problem is one he said all graduates could and should have a hand in solving, regardless of the careers they choose to pursue. Fellow senior speaker Maryn DeGraff used her speech to impart some wisdom she gained while watching her four-year-old cousin complete the mazes on a children’s menu. After DeGraff’s cousin completed all the mazes, she asked DeGraff to create a “harder” one for her. DeGraff said that moment spawned a new appreciation of the mazes that make up of our lives. “Even though there will always be a winding path of twists and turns, even more difficult, and fun, then getting through a maze is making one of your own,” she said. “So make your own path or go down the wrong on purpose.” But while DeGraff finished her speech by encouraging the Golden Class of 2021 to embrace the new mazes that lie before them, she also said they should appreciate the ones they have already completed. “Class of 2021, we have completed this maze together,” she said.

DRCOG prescribes Nymbl at-home balance training 5,000 adults 60+ offered free access to fall prevention program BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On May 3, the Denver Regional Council of Governments announced a partnership with Nymbl Science, the makers of a fall prevention app for older adults, that will offer free enrollment in the app’s balance training program for 5,000 adults aged 60 and up in 10 nearby counties. Older adults in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson counties, the City and County of Denver, the City and County of Broomfield and southwest Weld County can enroll in the program free of charge through June 30 by downloading the Nymbl app or visiting co.fallsfree.com. Nymbl already has a partnership with the Arvada Fire Protection District, which reported a 35% decrease in fall-related EMS calls in Nymbl participants in 2020, a year that saw the Coronavirus pandemic increase isolation and inactivity, resulting in a 30-50% increase in fall rates among older adults in Colorado, according to Nymbl Public Relations Consultant Sari Winston. Jayla Sanchez-Warren, director

for DRCOG’s Area Agency on Aging, said that Nymbl helps reduce the risk of falling for older adults who are hoping to increase their mobility as the COVID-19 pandemic winds down. “The risk of falling for older adults in Colorado is a serious public health threat post-pandemic as Americans venture out again, in some cases for the first time after months of inactivity,” said Warren. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Nymbl to provide free at-home balance training aimed at helping our older adult community feel strong, confident and empowered to leave home without the fear of falling.” “The Nymbl app is easy to use and fun,” Warren continued, “and has demonstrated really great results, in many cases improving balance by roughly 30%. This can make a huge difference in the lives of aging Coloradans.” Dr. Nathan Estrada, Nymbl’s vice president of clinical, was a physical therapist before joining the Nymbl team. He said he took the position with Nymbl because he believed it offered older Estrada adults a better option for balance training than traditional methods. “My research interest was based on ‘Why do we need to keep seeing the same older adults over and

Nymbl app home page.

over again?’” said Estrada. “You see them decline and it felt like we were just monetizing older adults — we weren’t helping their help or wellness; we were just recycling them.” “So, I started looking into older age engagement and what the industry was missing on the clinical side,” Estrada continued, “and it really came down to the key finding for me that it was not about me as a clinician and I had to get over my own arrogance as this paternalistic view of all the things we should do.” Estrada began asking patients

more targeted questions such as “What are your goals?” “Do you know why I’m here?” and “What do you want to achieve?” “I asked a really funny question,” Estrada said, “‘Do you want to exercise?’ And 40% of my clients said no. What I found was, if you start with things that people don’t want to do, your outcomes are always going to be temporary. And then I was pitched by Nymbl and we just went `Instead of asking people to do balance training, what if we just gave them a fun game that happened to improve their balance?’”

MY NAME IS

GINA HARVEY

a man whose wife had just died of COVID. When I called, he told me he had just lost his son to COVID, and now he had it too. He said, “COVID has taken everyone I love, and I couldn’t even come to the hospital to be with my wife.” It was the most alone I had ever heard anyone feel. I was his connection to the outside world in that darkness and loneliness. I don’t know if he survived. Because of our clinical boundaries, I don’t get to call later and see how someone’s doing. It’s hard, but it’s also freeing. I don’t have the option to know, so I put it out to God and the universe.

Hospital chaplain in the time of COVID So much unknown I’ve worked as a hospital chaplain for six years. When COVID hit in March 2020, people were just getting sick so fast. We weren’t letting families in, and chaplains became an essential connecting link. My job was facilitating video calls — holding up iPads to unconscious and intubated patients, so their family members could see them, and in hopes that the patients could hear their voices. The unknown and the separation made it so scary. Normally, loved ones can be with their family members in the hospital, to understand the severity of the illness and what’s happening. With COVID, people just dropped them off at the door of the hospital, and everything after that they heard through others. Family members would ask doctors, how are you treating this? What are my loved one’s chances? And last March, the answer was, we don’t know. There were few standards of care. The drugs were experimental. It was incredibly difficult for the doctors, and there was a lot of anger at the unknowing among families. Helping the helpless Everyone felt really helpless, but our job as chaplains was not trying

Hospital chaplain Gina Harvey said COVID has been a stark reminder that we never know how many days we have left. COURTESY PHOTO

to fix it or make it go away, but to bear witness to their pain and support them on their journey. I’m still trying to sort out the effect it had on me. All the metaphors were about war and battle — “front lines.” “Heroes.” “Battling the unseen enemy.” There was a lot of secondary trauma. Now that things are calmed down to a degree, things will pop into my head. One night, about 1 in the morning, a nurse asked me to call

A predator lurks I partnered with a lot of families who had good outcomes, too. Some people I got to help leave. I got close to their family members. Now we’re allowing family members to come in for an hour a day in a controlled manner. The first wave hit the most vulnerable. The oldest, the sickest. Equity issues were laid bare. Our hospital had a lot of people of color, with kidney problems or diabetes, and many didn’t even know they had diabetes. During the first wave, our ICU had only a handful of white patients. Everyone else a person of color. The second wave was less discriminate. One of the nurses said COVID was like a predator. First it took out the weakest, then the next-weakest. There are a lot fewer in our COVID wing now, but there are a lot more in their 30s and 40s. All unvaccinated.

for heart attacks since 2014. “Lutheran has developed a strong trauma program, along with an extensive network of specialty physicians, in order to provide highquality, evidence-based trauma care to our patients,” said Dr. Christopher Zaw-Mon, director of Trauma

‘More resilient than I thought I was’ I don’t have a quid pro quo relationship with God. I can see that God is with us in our suffering, but God doesn’t cause it. If your loved one is struggling to breathe, God is with us in that struggle. One thing that struck me: how many people had a view of God as judgmental and punishing. “What did my wife do to deserve this?” Theologically it was hard for me. Unlike a preacher, my job isn’t to teach anyone, but to help them uncover resources they already have. I learned I’m a lot more resilient than I thought I was, and that it’s OK to not be resilient all the time, and to have a day to fall apart. We have to release it. There’s something about being in health care, that hero mentality — we need to tell ourselves it’s OK to not be the hero. Everyone should get vaccinated. Seeing people who haven’t had anyone get really sick from COVID don’t have any idea how heartbreaking and terrible it can be. Even if you recover, you don’t know the extent of damage it will do to your body. I have loved ones who have chosen not to get vaccinated, and it’s all too easy for me to picture them in that ICU.

Services at Lutheran. “Moving from Level III to Level II is the biggest advance in trauma care and services a hospital can make.” Zaw-Mon further explains that the difference between Level II and Level I trauma designation is the absence of a clinical research program. The breadth of trauma services Lutheran offers and the acuity of patients the hospital can manage is the same as a Level I center.

SPORTS MCBOOM BREAKS THE CENTURY MILESTONE

Even a 30-minute lightning delay couldn’t dampen the celebration May 15 at Golden High School’s baseball field. Demon coach Jackie McBroom picked up his 100th career coaching victory with Golden’s 11-0 win over Alameda International in the Class 4A Jeffco League game. Since that milestone, the Demons and McBoom have racked up three PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS additional league wins.

Standley Lake doubles up Wheat Ridge in 4A Jeffco action BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Standley Lake senior Connor Peck eyes the ball during his 3-run triple during the fifth inning May 19 against Wheat Ridge. The Gators took a 12-6 victory on the Farmers’ home field. PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — It was a first for Standley Lake senior Connor Peck on Wednesday, May 19. “We have never beat Wheat Ridge in my four years here,” Peck said after the Gators took a 12-6 victory on the Farmers’ home baseball field. “It feels really great to beat Wheat Ridge finally. It’s a big win for us. We really needed this today.” The Gators (4-2, 4-2 in Class 4A Jeffco League) finds themselves just one game in the loss column behind Evergreen (5-1), Golden (5-1) and D’Evelyn (4-1) for the conference lead midway through the league season. Standley Lake has league losses to Evergreen and Green Mountain, but has a quality win over Golden. The Demons actually handed Evergreen its first conference loss May 19 at All-Star Park

in Lakewood. “This team has so much talent. We just need something to bring it all together,” Standley Lake coach Jesse Lopez said. “ We are starting to find out who we are after facing some tough competition like Wheat Ridge, Golden and Evergreen.” The Gators found several different ways to score against Wheat Ridge (2-6, 2-3). Standley Lake took advantage of control issues by the Farmer pitchers and had a number of bunts with runners at third that resulted in runs. “We work really hard on the small ball,” Lopez said. “Everything we do is precision based, but it doesn’t work without the long game as well. They go hand-inhand.” Wheat Ridge took a 2-0 lead thanks to a 2-run home run by senior Scott Kingman in the bottom of the first inning, but Standley Lake

answered with a 4-run bottom of the second. The big inning for the Gators came in the top of the fifth. Standley Lake had a 5-run inning that was topped off with a 3-run triple by Peck. “It felt great off the bat,” Peck said of the drive to deep right-center field that gave the Gators a commanding 10-4 lead. “That was a real big game-changer. We needed all those runs.” On the hill, Lopez utilized four different pitchers. Junior lefty Logan Schmidt went the first three innings. Sophomore Ian Rasmussen threw the next three innings for the Gators. Senior Jakob Worm struck out a pair of batters in the seventh, but was pulled after a pair of walks. Sophomore Cannon Frost got the final out with a strikeout to close out the game. SEE BASEBALL, P29

“This year we have been so fortunate to have so much depth in our bullpen,” Lopez said. “This is really going to benefit us when we have back-to-back-to-back games. They did great. They threw strikes and the defense got out when they needed to.” Wheat Ridge had some chances. The Farmers left a dozen runners on the bases, including leaving the bases loaded in each of the final three innings. “Sooner or later we’ve got to get a big hit,” Wheat Ridge coach Adam Miller said. “We squared some ball

up today, but they were hit right at guys.” It was the third straight loss for the Farmers. “We weren’t sharp,” Miller said. “We are in a bad stretch right now. We just aren’t very good right now. I hope that changes.” Wheat Ridge returned to action Saturday, May 22, against Evergreen and suffered a 5-0 loss before facing rival Golden on Tuesday of this week. “We’ve got to reel off four or five in a row or it’s ‘Goodnight, Irene’,” Miller said.

Green Mountain has 17-run inning in win over Alameda BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Green Mountain senior Jose Luis Cedillo had himself an impressive first inning late Thursday afternoon May 20. The Rams’ lead-off batter went 3-for-3 from the plate with four RBIs in the opening frame against Alameda International. Cedillo came to the plate three times as Green Mountain scored 17 runs in the bottom of the first inning. “It’s always good to see that bats come alive,” said Cedillo, who finished 4-for-5 from the plate with five RBIs. “When we string the hits together it takes the pressure of the pitching. They just have to go in there and throw strikes.” Green Mountain (3-5, 3-3 in Class 4A Jeffco League) actually fell behind 4-0 against the Pirates (2-6, 0-4). The Pirates scored 4 runs on three hits, including a 2-run single by sophomore Oscar Nguyen to cap off the nice top of the first inning. However, it didn’t stand up to what the Rams did in the bottom of the frame. The first eight batters reached the scored. Green Mountain sent 21 batters to the plate in the inning. Junior Caton Lodice delivered the most impressive hit that nobody saw. With the bases loaded and no outs, the Rams’ clean-up hitter rocketed a high shot to dead centerfield. With the sun behind home plate nobody really picked up the flight off

the ball of the bat, including Lodice. “I did not see that ball,” Lodice said. “It was launched straight up.” Alameda’s centerfield didn’t pick the ball up either. It wasn’t until everyone could see the ball land beyond the centerfield fence did people realize it was a grand slam home run. “It definitely sparked something,” Lodice said. “It started our offense off strong and finished strong.” It was the start of the largest scoring output of the season for Green Mountain. The Rams scored seven more runs in the bottom of the second inning to extend the lead to 24-6. Green Mountain induced the 20-run mercy rule to end the game in the bottom of the third inning with a RBI pinch-hit single by Sebastian King. Sophomore Donovan Baca picked up the win on the mound. He took over for junior Luke Davis on the mound in the top of the first inning after Davis had some control issues. Baca struck out the first two batters he faced in the second inning and gave up just a single in the third inning. “We didn’t get to see him earlier in the year because of the weather during tryouts,” Green Mountain coach Brad Kidwell said of his sophomore pitcher. “We are seeing what he can do and he’s been impressive.” Pitching will be a key element as Green Mountain has four games in six days starting Saturday, May 22, against Golden. “Of course Golden is going to be

Green Mountain junior Caton Lodice (22) is greeted at home plate by teammates after his grand slam in the first inning. The home run tied things up 4-4 against Alameda on May 20 at Green Mountain High School. The Rams took a 26-6 victory in three innings. PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

tough competition,” Cedillo said before the Rams suffered a 10-0 loss to the Demons. “We need to compete through seven innings and hopefully string some hits together and the pitching comes in clutch as well.” Besides focusing on finishing strong to hopefully make a run at qualifying for the 24-team postseason, Green Mountain’s handful of seniors also have graduation on their minds. “It has been hard because every-

one’s mindset has been different,” said Cedillo, who is one of the four seniors that graduated Friday, May 21, at Red Rocks. “It has been a little tough.” It has been a rough season with the Rams losing three games by 1-run.

Taste of Colorado moving to new locations

Festival will span all of downtown during Labor Day weekend BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE

For years, every Labor Day weekend, A Taste of Colorado brought dozens of booths to Civic Center Park, serving up food from local Colorado restaurants. The free event brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to enjoy live music and art and to sample some of the best food the state has to offer. Last year, the pandemic forced organizers to cancel the festival, marking the first time in almost 40 years that it didn’t operate. Now, Taste is returning, though it will look a bit different from festivals past. The Downtown Denver Partnership announced that Taste will return to Denver over Labor Day weekend, but this year’s version will be held downtown, where it will host attractions, events and food tastings out of restaurants and venues scattered around the area. “Taste of Colorado is a well-loved tradition that spans generations,” said Sharon Alton, vice president of downtown experience at the Downtown Denver Partnership. “We’re proud to bring Taste back as

we emerge from the pandemic, this year in a new format that will be a true celebration of our city’s culture and everything that our city’s artists, musicians, and restaurateurs have to offer. Never has it been more important to highlight all things local, and we can’t wait to do just that alongside our community over Labor Day weekend.” This year, featured food will be exclusively sourced from local, independent Colorado restaurants. Food trucks will populate the area

on Lawrence Street between 15th and 17th streets, while booth and tent vendors will operate in Skyline Park, where the Skyline Beer Garden and Southwest Rink have been held. Participating downtown restaurants can operate out of their own locations and won’t have to pay a fee to participate. Each restaurant will offer at least two highlighted Taste items in the form of tiny samples. Downtown Denver Partnerships will announce a full lineup of at-

tractions in the coming months. In the meantime, local artists and musicians can apply to participate. A Taste of Colorado dates • Sept. 4: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Sept. 5: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Sept. 6: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News.
