U.S. Energy secretary to NREL employees: ‘unleash all your energies, talents’ at Golden visit
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN
With wide-scale layo s, budget cuts and more, the past three months haven’t been easy for federal government employees and contractors.
However, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright looked to provide some encouragement April 3 as he visited the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Golden campus.
In addressing NREL’s 4,000 employees — whether in Golden, at another campus or in the eld — Wright told them how much he enjoyed his visit, saying, “Not all my days have been as awesome as today.”
Wild Robot-Builders
Children craft their own robot statues at Golden Library event
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Roll aside, R2-D2 and WALL-E, because there are new robots in town.
Ten local children recently assembled their own Bristlebots — tiny robots the size of toothbrush heads — at a March 27 event at the Golden Library. ey then made their own robot statues out of cans, bolts, gears, magnets, tin foil, pipe cleaners, pom poms, googly eyes and more.
e “Create Your Own Roz” event at the Golden Library was inspired by “ e Wild Robot” book series, the rst installment of which was recently adapted into an award-winning lm.
e young participants were encouraged to build their own versions of the titular robot, Rozzum 7134, also known as Roz. However, Kids & Families Librarian Dawn Lewallen ultimately wanted the participants “to be as creative as they want” in their concepts.
said they’d read one or more of “ e Wild Robot” books, seen the movie, or both. Josie’s dad, Patrick, said the family stops by the library weekly for books and usually participates in other events, like PAWS for Reading.
e “Create Your Own Roz” event was the perfect opportunity for not only Josie and her sister to meet up with their friends, but also for their dads to hang out too, Patrick explained.
Roy Katz said his 5-year-old Orion enjoys “ e Wild Robot” books and library events, so the family thought it would be the perfect activity. Orion said he enjoyed building his Bristlebot and crafting his Roz-inspired statue.
Cousins Adalie Gonzalez Prehn and Emmett Smith, both 5, said they enjoy doing the library’s LEGO Build and Play events, and thought this would be a fun building-type activity as well.
e magnets were particularly fun to play with, Emmett said.
While other Je erson County Public Library branches have done other “ e Wild Robot”inspired activities, Lewallen said this activity allowed the participants to create something in both the Bristlebots and their own Roz-inspired robot statues.
Wright, who’s from the Denver area, has a background in oil and natural gas as well as solar, geothermal and nuclear energy. He was con rmed by the U.S. Senate on Feb. 3 and sworn in later that day.
Wright told NREL employees how they’re doing critical work, saying he wants to help them however he can so that NREL and other U.S. Department of Energy employees can “unleash all of your energies and talents” and “focus on science and technology, and not on bureaucracy.”
To that end, he said he signed secretarial orders to ensure work could get done faster and cheaper.
As an example, Wright and NREL Director Martin Keller explained how, after Wright assumed o ce, Keller asked Wright to help accelerate construction of the Golden campus’ Energy Materials and Processing at Scale, or EMAPS, facility. NREL broke ground on it last year and it’s expected to be completed in 2027.

As Keller and other NREL o cials later explained, Wright did help accelerate the project by reducing permit processing and approval times for contracting and executing the construction work.

The Typical Wood-Frame Home Which Has Dominated Subdivisions Since the 1990s May Soon Be History
Let’s say that the writing is on the wall. The kind of site-built wood-frame homes that have dominated new American subdivisions since about 1990 are getting too expensive to satisfy America’s needs in a time of severe housing shortage.
Several factors are at work which make that style of home construction soon to be obsolete.
Factor #1: Labor shortages, especially with immigrant labor being deported.
Factor #2: Wildfire vulnerability of wood-frame homes, as demonstrated in Boulder County and more recently in southern California.
just a few years ago, but is now becoming mainstream. Other builders have learned from Lennar’s experience and multiple companies have entered that space.
Factor #3: Climate change, which is spiking a demand for greater resiliency in home construction — not just from fire, but from high-wind events like tornadoes and hurricanes.
Factor #4: Higher costs, aggravated no doubt by 25% tariffs on the Canadian lumber used in most new homes.
Having followed trade publications for the home construction and related industries, I am convinced that other technologies and techniques for home construction are about to go mainstream, making today’s wood-frame, onsite building process soon to be obsolete, or at least out of favor except for super expensive custom homes.
I also believe we will see more attention paid to the siting of new homes. It’s easy enough to site a home so that it benefits from solar gain, even if it is not solar-powered. Simply having big windows to the south with a wide overhang allowing solar gain from the low sun in the winter and shade from the high sun in the summer is a no-brainer, but it seems there has been a shortage of architectural brains in current and past siting of new homes. Similarly, having fewer windows on the north side of the house is simply smart “passive house” design.
Having an enclosed rather than open foyer (what’s called an “air lock”) is common sense too, and costs very little to implement.
That’s just the beginning of the changes I expect to see in new subdivisions. Lennar has already built a 3D printed subdivision in Texas (see picture). 3D printing of homes using concrete was a novelty (which I wrote about)
A Fast Company article in January 2023 proclaimed that “3D-printed houses are the suburbs of the future.”
The pictures at right are from that article. Here’s an excerpt: “Iowa City-based Alquist 3D, which specializes in reasonably priced automated construction in rural areas, has already started building Project Virginia, in which it will create 200 3D-printed homes (all variations on craftsman designs, also framed in layered concrete and topped with gabled wood-framed roofs) around the state, starting in tiny Pulaski (population 8,691). It’s also starting a 25-home project in Malvern, Iowa and a 10-home development in Muscatine, Iowa. Alquist founder and CEO Zachary Mannheimer says the firm has about 500 total units — ranging in price from $250,000 to around $400,000 — in the pipeline in Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas.”
Nothing says “mainstream” quite like Iowa and those other states. Colorado can not be far behind. Just last month, CBS Colorado (Channel 4 News) reported on a $638,000 grant under Colorado’s Innovative Housing Incentive Program to a Salida company, Verotouch, following the completion of their two 1,100-square-foot 3D-printed homes in Buena Vista.
“We are proud to accelerate innovation in housing to better address Colorado's housing needs,” Gov. Jared Polis said. “The unveiling of the first 3D-printed homes in the state is a great example of our state’s efforts to support new construction methods and create more housing now.”
The layered concrete walls of 3D-printed homes are naturally fire resistant. They are typically one-story homes with a standard peaked roof made from wood trusses, as you can see in the picture above. The front three homes in that picture show a 3-D home at different stages of completion. A gantry straddling the foundation transports the tube which lays down layer upon layer of concrete slurry following a computer program.

In past columns, I have written about a local company, Colorado Earth, which has pioneered construction of homes using compressed-earth bricks called EcoBlox. That’s more labor intensive, since the walls have to be laid by workers, but homes share the same benefits of being fire and weather resilient.
New technology abounds in the other components that go into home construction. For example, in June 2023 I wrote about a company, Plantd, in North Carolina, which has developed an alternative to OSB, the wall sheeting and roof decking used in virtually all home construction, made from a fast-growing perennial grass, grown locally on former tobacco plantations, saving 17 trees per house
and sequestering 8 tons of carbon dioxide per house. See www.PlantdMaterials.com
A Fast Company article in October 2024 reported that homebuilder D.R. Horton had ordered 10 million of Plantd’s panels, enough to build 90,000 homes.
The innovation taking place in every other component of home construction — doors, windows, manufactured housing, appliances, and more — is stunning to behold, confirming for me that a major revolution in the home construction industry is already unfolding. Be sure that I’ll continue to write about it here!
I have posted links for everything mentioned in this article on our company blog at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com
Does Your Older Home Have a Federal Pacific Electrical Panel?
An estimated 28 million American homes built in the 1950s through the 1980s, including many in Colorado, have an electrical panel manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric, which lost its UL certification decades ago because of multiple failures of its Stab-Lok breakers to trip when overloaded, thereby causing a fire hazard.
Our friends at Alpine Building Performance, LLC, shared these additional issues with the FPE panels:
The breakers often don’t connect properly to the panel’s bus bars, causing arcing, overheating, and potential fire hazards.
Some Stab-Lok breakers get stuck in the “on” position, even when manually switched off, making it impossible to cut power.
Reports suggest that FPE manipulated UL testing results, leading to unsafe products being approved for use.
Studies indicate that homes with FPE panels have a significantly higher likelihood of electrical fires compared to other panels. For these reasons, any home inspector hired by a buyer can be expected to recommend that replacement be demanded of the seller.

Proxy voting in the U.S. House clears a major hurdle
House Republican leaders tried, and failed, to kill an e ort to allow proxy voting for new parents in the chamber.
It was a big win for Colorado Democratic Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. e two women have been trying to get this change done in the House since the last Congress.
And it was a loss for Speaker Mike Johnson, who, along with much of House leadership, opposes proxy voting, calling it unconstitutional, even as he used it himself when it was allowed during the pandemic.
But it’s a setback that he hopes is temporary. House leaders left the Capitol saying they will again try to stop proxy voting through a rule next week.
Luna and Pettersen had pushed for a House vote on the change through a legislative maneuver known as a discharge petition. With 218 signatures, rank-andle lawmakers can bypass House leadership and force a vote on a particular piece of legislation. Over two days, a dozen Republicans bucked their leaders and signed onto the petition, along with over 200 Democrats, early last month.
In an attempted end run, early Tuesday leaders inserted language to kill the proxy voting resolution, and anything similar in the future, into the rules package that lays out debate on legislation for the week.
Luna described the language as a “discharge petition killer” that would paint anyone voting against the rule as being opposed to the bills being debated,
which this week includes a Republican priority bill to require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote. She added that leadership was “trying to change the rules” because her side was successful at getting the required number of signatures.
Still, instead of passing along party lines as usual, Luna and eight other Republicans voted against the rule, ending Johnson’s attempt to kill proxy voting this Congress, 206-222. All of Colorado’s Republicans voted for the rule, while the state’s Democrats voted against it.
After the vote, the Florida congresswoman joked “Never bet against the Luna.”
She called it a historical day for the chamber. “it’s showing that the body has decided that parents deserve a voice in Washington and also the importance of female members having a vote in Washington, D.C.”
Luna and Pettersen worked as a team and praised each other’s e orts.
“Speaker Johnson pulled out all the stops and people continued to stand with us,” Pettersen said. “We’re changing the way that Congress works, making sure that moms and parents have a voice and I am just so proud to be part of this.” e issue has caused divisions among House Republicans. Earlier this week, Luna resigned from the House Freedom Caucus as some in the group worked to block her e ort.
tion of me to the American people,” she said in her letter stepping away from the group.
“I cannot remain part of a caucus where a select few operate outside its guidelines, misuse its name, broker backroom deals that undermine its core values and where the lines of compromise and transaction are blurred, disparage me to the press, and encourage misrepresenta-
In 2023, Luna was the 12th lawmaker to give birth while serving. At the time she appealed to GOP leaders to adjust rules for new parents to no avail.
Earlier this year, Pettersen became the 13th and GOP Rep. Kat Cammack will soon be the 14th. She announced she’s expecting her rst child in August.
“I’m really excited to think that [Cammack] will not go through what we went through, on trying to make sure that
we’re representing our constituents and taking care of our baby. So it’s all worth it – changing Congress for the better,” Pettersen said. at change may have to wait a little bit longer. While Luna moved to have the resolution brought up to the oor within the next two legislative days, House leaders canceled votes for the rest of the week. is story is from CPR News, a nonprofit public broadcaster serving Colorado.

To that end, Our Lady of Fatima hosts a children’s Stations of the Cross one Friday each Lent. is year’s group had participants as young as 5, although all the readers were between rst and seventh grade, Director of Children’s Faith Formation Elisabeth Krick explained.
Some are students at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School, while others are in the parish’s religious education program, Krick said.
e Rev. Henri Tshibambe, Our Lady of Fatima’s pastor, said it’s important for young parishioners to have opportunities to learn about the faith and lead others in it. He said they’re learning to do “what Jesus Christ did” by re ecting on his journey to the cross. is is especially important as many of the participating children are preparing to receive sacraments later this year, he said.
Afterward in the parish hall, Young and other Knights of Columbus served a selection of vegetable- and seafood-based soups, along with grilled cheese. Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent, although sh and other seafood is allowed.

Our Lady of Fatima hosting weekly soup suppers ahead of Easter
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Every spring, Christians around the world recreate and re ect on Jesus Christ’s death by praying along with the Stations of the Cross. On Fridays during Lent — the 40 days preceding Easter — Catholic churches like Lakewood’s Our Lady of Fatima host the Stations of the Cross, typically led by a priest or deacon. However, on March 28, it was the children’s turn.
A group of about 20 young parishioners walked along the perimeter of the sanctuary, taking turns reading each station’s prayer for the Our Lady of Fatima congregation, as the
group stopped at the corresponding piece of artwork. e 14 stations depict Jesus taking up his cross, meeting people on the way through Jerusalem, and then his death and burial.
Afterward, many attendees stopped by the parish hall for a meatless soup supper hosted by the local Knights of Columbus council. Mazie Jackson, 14, said Lenten traditions like Stations of the Cross and meatless meals are a great way to “practice your faith” and “build community.”
In general, the season of Lent — which Catholics and some other Christian denominations observe — starts on Ash Wednesday and helps people spiritually prepare to celebrate Jesus Christ’s resurrection at Easter. Similarly, Tim Young of the parish’s Knights of Columbus described it as a season of “repentance and re ection.” Jackson added, “It’s about cleansing our
Our Lady of Fatima’s soup suppers are free, although donations are welcome, Young said. e parish was scheduled to host Stations of the Cross and soup supper on April 4 and April 11 but won’t on April 18 as it will be hosting Good Friday services.
Young also invited people to stop by the Knights of Columbus’ free pancake and burrito breakfast on April 13. It will have additional free breakfast events in May.

Easter ... Saturday? Answers may be in the eggs
Spring is fully in the air and Easter is right around the corner. We all know when to celebrate that holiday because we start seeing all kinds of colorful egg-shaped things and bunnies and wind-up hopping chicks and our regular candy packaged in pastel colors, all in an entire aisle devoted to everything Easter in the grocery store.
In this day and age, we all get plenty of warning that the most mobile of moving date holidays is going to be happening on Sunday, …Uhm, Sunday, April…Ok, some Sunday in April, unless it’s the last Sunday in March. No, that can’t be it this year, we passed that day and none of my family called. Ok, let me get out my calendar. Now, let’s see.
Nah, I don’t need a calendar, there’s a formula! Google. Ok, it says here that it’s a movable feast. Yes, we already know that. Easter Sunday falls on the, wait a second…Apparently it depends on whether or not you are using the Gregorian calendar or the Julian calendar. I guess you do need a calendar. So, which one is mine? It has pictures of motorcycles and a di erent woman each month, and I don’t think any of them are named Greg or Julian. ere’s a Julie, but that’s probably not it. Let’s just go with that calendar since I al-
ready have it.
In our fast-paced, instant-grati cation world, I sometimes worry that encouragement is an art form we are forgetting how to use.
Some might be thinking I am wrong that they can point out inspiring things all around us. But encouraging others is di erent than inspiring them. Inspiration res our hearts and points the direction we should go. Encouragement says let me walk alongside you as you navigate this di cult path.
Encouraging others is not complicated but does take some intentionality. Two of the most helpful things you can do when trying to encourage others is to personalize the encouragement and to create opportunities for people to receive that encouragement on their time frame.
Sometimes, a window into how someone else has done something is the very best way to help you imagine how to do it yourself. As I have mentioned in the past, “Words of Encouragement” started when I was looking for a way to support a friend and his wife as they navigated his stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis. My e orts were far from perfect, but they were genuine, heartfelt e orts. My encouragement came in the form of emails so that they could read on their own time.
Today, I am sharing two of the emails that I sent Shane and Summer over the course of his four-year battle, in hopes that you will nd inspiration for encouraging others.

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Next, we have to nd the rst Sunday after the Paschal Full moon. Alright there’s a formula for that too. Apparently, that’s the full moon that occurs on or after the March or Spring equinox. Wait, there’s an asterisk there.
(*Note that the spring equinox date used by the Christian Church is always March 21 to simplify matters. In fact, the astronomical date of the equinox can shift by a day or so. In 2025, the astronomical date of the equinox is March 20). Alright, this is a little more complicated than I thought it was going to be. Let me just look for where it says Easter Sunday on my own calendar. Ah, there it is. Sunday, April 20. It’s right there on Julie’s page!
Now that you know when it is, you can start planning things like a traditional Easter dinner. Stop! Don’t Google that unless you are some kind of crazy gourmet chef! e rst page that comes up is “50 Easter Dinner Recipes You’ll Make Every Year.”
ey think we are going to make 50 things for one Sunday dinner every year? I’m afraid to look at what they came up with for anksgiving. ere’s an endless collection of cooking pages for Easter, but most of them have a picture of a ham and au gratin potatoes at the top, so I guess that’s a good place to start. Ok, you have the dinner ideas and the right Sunday, let’s look at a few events in Golden that you can enjoy. e rst one is the most iconic event, and that’s the annual Kiwanis Club and Golden Chamber of Commerce Easter Egg Hunt. It’s a big one and it happens every year in Parfet Park on the corner of 10th Street and Washington Avenue. is year it’s going to be at 10 a.m. sharp on Easter…Saturday? Seriously? After I just went through all that guring out when Easter Sunday is?
Yup, that’s right. It happens on Saturday, April 19. ey do it on Saturday every year so it doesn’t clash with other things like church services that happen on Sunday. And when they say 10 a.m. sharp, they mean sharp and you don’t want to be even 30 seconds late for this one.
On the morning of the hunt, thousands of plastic eggs are spread throughout
Parfet Park with di erent areas for di erent age groups. But once the bell sounds, the kids clean the park in no time. So, plan on getting there plenty early to nd parking and walk to the park. All kids up to the age of 10 are welcome to participate, and they get lots and lots of kids.
Now, if you prefer to go to an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday, there will be one for the entire community on the lawn of the First United Methodist Church of Golden, located at 1500 Ford St. at 11 a.m. It’s for kids from 2 years old through fth grade. And they have their own parking lot!
And one more. e Golden Mill at 1012 Ford St. in Golden is having its annual Easter egg hunt from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will have eggs there for adults! Now, either they are really good at hiding things or they will be replenishing the eggs throughout the three hours, but either way, it sounds like fun. So, Happy Easter!

Shane and Summer,
Every Monday in college during the football season, we had to run the CC (Colorado College) Stadium Hill 10 times at the end of practice. e hill was probably 35 yards long and very vertical. I never liked that hill, but I especially hated it when we were preparing to run the ninth hill. I hated it because we were not done, but we were close. ere was still work to do and no way around it. Each week it took a special kind of mental focus to get started on that ninth hill.

In March 2020, Christian churches across the Denver area shut their doors during the initial COVID-19 shutdowns. Many hoped the doors would be reopened for Easter in April.
But they weren’t.
Instead, local Christians watched their churches’ Easter celebrations online while their pastors preached and their musicians played for empty churches.
e Very Rev. Richard Lawson of St. John’s Cathedral — the Episcopal cathedral in central Denver — recalled that Easter, saying, “ ere were less than ve people in the entire cathedral, and two of them were priests.”
Meanwhile, some smaller congregations like the United Church of Idaho Springs held its Easter service via video conference, where everyone logged in to worship together.
Five years later, local church leaders expected this Easter would look more normal. But even then, they couched it as “the new normal,” outlining how much their churches have changed in terms of technology, membership, ministry and more in the last ve years.
In March 2025, Colorado Community Media spoke with Christians leading six churches across ve denominations and four counties in the Denver area. While experiences varied, they all said their congregations have changed permanently
since March 2020.
“It has been a really hard journey,” said Rev. Susan Otey of the First United Methodist Church of Golden. “Pastoring during COVID was some of the hardest work I have ever done … I could see that God was working to make something good out of a terrible situation.”
Disciples in the digital age
Across the board, leaders from the six churches said technology was far and away the biggest change.
Before, none of them o ered online options for Sunday services; now, all of them either livestream or allow people to join via video conference.
In general, they said it’s a great help, as church members can now join when they are homebound, sick or traveling. e United Church of Idaho Springs has a member who moved to Minnesota but still joins remotely, and some churches said they also livestream funerals so loved ones can watch from anywhere.
Figuring out how to livestream services in spring 2020 was rough going, as churches had to get creative with the limited resources they had.
For instance, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton started by taping an iPad to a tripod. Now, the church has a dedicated camera in the sanctuary, and Church Council Chair Neena Hagans monitors the livestream from the choir loft.
Otey said the pandemic pushed her congregation
to invest in the technology necessary to livestream services, which might not have happened until 2030 otherwise.
“COVID taught us that virtual services are essential in this day and age,” she continued. “( e pandemic) pushed us several years into the future.”
Along with Sunday services, technology is now a key aspect in other parts of church life, from online giving to hybrid Bible studies, church leaders said.
Daren Forbes, who’s on the Arvada Stake communications council for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said there is “an abundance of podcasts” that he and his fellow church members use to help them study scripture, church history and similar topics.
In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has its own app with all its holy texts, the given year’s curriculum, videos and other resources “to augment study in the home,” he described.
Forbes and other Christians throughout Denver clari ed how these technologies don’t replace inperson services or fellowship opportunities. ey are simply another option.
Lawson believes that, especially after the pandemic, “people are hungry for community,” whether that’s in-person or online.
“Livestreaming has expanded our reach beyond what we ever could’ve imagined,” Lawson said. “It’s too bad it took COVID to teach us that.”

CHURCHES
Parishioners in the pews
In general, the number of Coloradans identifying as Christian has declined, mirroring a national trend, according to Colorado Public Radio; and the Associated Press has reported how Protestant denominations’ national membership has been declining for years.
Regarding their own ocks, leaders from the six churches had mixed experiences.
Otey and Lawson said their congregations in Golden and Denver, respectively, have actually grown over the last ve years, especially if one includes online attendance. eir biggest demographic changes have been with young families and young adults, respectively.
Otey believed it was because people are seeking out a community that shares their values and beliefs, with the idea of raising their children in it, too. She summarized those parents’ experiences as: “I want to teach my kids about loving and serving our neighbors.”
Meanwhile, Forbes said the Arvada Stake’s overall membership hasn’t changed signi cantly, but there have been a few demographic shifts over the last ve years.
As western Arvada has grown, so has church membership in that area. Members from western Arvada tend to be young families, while eastern Arvada is more older people who’ve lived in the area for decades, Forbes described.
Additionally, he said the Arvada Stake has seen signi cant growth among its Spanish-speaking population.
Contrastingly, membership at the United Church of Idaho Springs and the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton have declined slightly.
Vivian Simpson, chair of the church council, said the United Church of Idaho Springs was averaging about 30 people at Sunday services before the pandemic. Now, it’s about 20 people in-person with another ve online.
Fort Lupton church leaders said their congregation averaged 80 to 100 people on Sundays before the pandemic. Now, it’s down to about 60 in the pews, with some joining online.
For the First Baptist Church of Denver, while its attendance and overall membership haven’t changed much, its space utilization has.
Kurt Kaufman, a member of the pastoral team, said the church used to have a high demand for facility rentals and parking-space leases before the pandemic. Now, demand for both has gone down signi cantly, impacting the church’s budget.
“We haven’t had a parking waitlist since 2019,” Kaufman said. “We’ve had to rethink what we do to make money and how to survive as a congregation.”
Pastors in the pulpit
Both the First Baptist Church of Denver and the United Church of Idaho Springs said their previous pastors left within the last ve years, and they’ve struggled to nd replacements.
Kaufman said he and fellow members of the First Baptist Church’s pastoral team are rotating responsibilities, including preaching on Sundays.
Similarly, Simpson said the Idaho Springs church has been looking for a part-time pastor since its former pastor retired in 2021.
Because it’s a combined Methodist and Presbyterian congregation, Simpson said the church has looked through Methodist, Presbyterian and unafliated channels. It’s had some interest, but nothing that worked out long-term, she described.
“Nationwide, there’s a shortage of ordained ministers for Methodist and Presbyterian (churches),” she said.
Simpson added that the Idaho Springs church can only a ord a part-time pastor, which makes the search more di cult.
In a similar vein, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Lupton has had a dedicated pastor in the Rev. Anna Viehland since 2022, but she splits her time between Fort Lupton and another Methodist church in Erie.
On March 29, St. John’s Cathedral ordained four
people as deacons. ey’re now scheduled to be ordained as priests in October.
Lawson said four ordained ministers in a year is about average for the Episcopal Church’s Diocese of Colorado.
However, with the in ux of young adults at the cathedral, Lawson said he’s seen increasing interest in ordination among his congregation. In 2025, St. John’s Cathedral will have ve members attend seminary, including one of the newly ordained, he said.
Charity in the community
In terms of ministry — both for their members and for the wider community — there were some common threads among the six churches.
Along with a greater push for online or hybrid events, church leaders said they’ve seen more demand for small-group events, such as Bible studies, parent groups and in-home ministering.
On top of their continued interfaith partnerships, the two Denver churches said they’ve seen more demand for social justice-focused events and groups.
In addition to its Faith in Action ministry, Lawson said St. John’s Cathedral now has the Re-Imagining Justice group that focuses on racial healing, and the Migrant Interest Group that does pro-immigration work.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church is now “more attuned to hunger and social justice issues around our community” than it was pre-pandemic.
Part of that is because of its new outdoor community fridge, which has already distributed about 30,000 pounds of food since February 2023.
Additionally, because its parking lot isn’t as full as it once was, Kaufman said the church has been able to host a shower trailer and a safe parking program.
e other four churches said they’ve likewise seen increased demand among their safe parking programs, free weekly meals and similar ministries; and they’ve worked to meet that demand alongside other churches and nonpro ts.
“Some things that started during COVID really de ned who we are as a church,” Otey said. “We increased our services tremendously.”
During the COVID-19 shutdowns, Otey described how her church worked with the larger Golden community to distribute free food to the homebound and unsheltered — even distributing food outside when indoor gatherings were restricted.
And that work has continued to the present day, she said, as the church has expanded from free meals once a week to three times a week.
Forbes encouraged people to visit justserve.org to nd service opportunities near them. ese events are open to anyone, not just Christians, he emphasized, saying it could be anything from painting a
house to working at a local food bank.
“It’s become even more apparent how important those service opportunities are because of COVID and what we’re experiencing in society,” Forbes said. “We have more in common with our neighbors than we think … (and) when we have an opportunity to serve one another, those di erences dissipate.”
‘Best of all, God is with us’
Another common thread among the six churches was how di cult the last ve years have been, in one form or another.
Church leaders discussed loneliness among their members, concern about the declining number of Christians locally and nationally, and burnout among their volunteers and ordained ministers.
Viehland, Fort Lupton’s pastor, described how she’s seen not only laypeople but also clergy struggle with the pandemic’s immediate and long-term fallout.
She believed some clergy members — not necessarily local ones — were already burnt-out, and the pandemic was a deciding factor in them leaving ordained ministry. And Viehland said she didn’t blame them.
“Five years out, we’re just starting to reckon with the spiritual and emotional trauma that came from (the pandemic),” Viehland said.
Kaufman said the First Baptist Church was full of hope and joy when he joined in 2019. Now, he said it’s been “a struggle to nd joy with anything” and that the congregation has shifted to one that’s “less hopeful and more fearful.”
Still, leaders from all six churches o ered messages of hope and faith, especially with Easter approaching.
“It’s been very challenging to nd hope in earthly, worldly things,” Kaufman said. “‘Where is it that I nd hope?’ e only place is in my faith.”
Similarly, Fort Lupton church leaders summarized the experience of faith by quoting Methodist Church founder John Wesley: “Best of all, God is with us.”
Kaufman, Forbes and Simpson invited fellow Christians to celebrate Easter by deepening their relationships with God and with one another.
ey also encouraged those “who are searching for something” to visit a local church and ground themselves in a loving God and a welcoming community.
Otey also emphasized how God’s love is unconditional and how the Holy Spirit is at work in everyone’s lives, community and shared world, even if they don’t know it.
Re ecting on the changes of the last ve years, and all the changes that are to come, Lawson said: “God is as real as God has ever been.”

Horn beat out six other candidates for the job, including Saine, former state Rep. Richard Holtorf, and Darcy Schoening, the state party’s director of special initiatives.
Horn lives near Steamboat Springs and is the chief of the Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department. She’s long been active in Republican politics in Colorado.
Targetting statewide elections
Next year will be a big one for Colorado Republicans. e statewide o ces of governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and a U.S. Senate seat will be up for grabs. e last time a Republican won a statewide election in Colorado was 2016.
Republicans also will be defending U.S. House seats in the 8th and 3rd districts and seeking to ip more state legislative seats.
Horn replaces Chairman Dave Williams, whose two-year term leading Republicans in Colorado was marked by controversy after contreversy.
Williams decided not to seek reelection.
During his tenure as chairman, Williams upset Republicans by taking sides in GOP primaries, albeit unsuccessfully; running for Congress and using party funds to boost his campaign; sending out an email that was o ensive to LGBTQ people; and trying to change the party’s bylaws to further his agenda. He also had a Colorado Sun reporter removed from a party gathering last year, stoking a national controversy.
Reporters weren’t allowed at the par-
ty’s reorganizational meeting March 29. Instead, they were forced to watch the event on a livestream.
Wins despite state party
Republicans ipped three state House and a U.S. House seat while Williams was in charge. But those victories happened mostly in spite ofthe state party, not because of it.
In the 8th Congressional District, where Republican Gabe Evans won, the Colorado GOP endorsed his primary opponent, Janak Joshi. e party didn’t report any direct spending to help Evans beat incumbent Democrat Yadira Caraveo in the general election.
Evans was so fed up with party leadership that he actually called on Williams to resign in July as part of a push to remove the organization’s entire leadership slate.
As for the three state House seats Republicans ipped last year, the party didn’t report spending any money on those races either. It was the state House Republican caucus campaign arm and independent expenditure committees that were responsible for the bulk of the activity in those contests.
Williams’ detractors, including Horn,sought to remove him as chairman in the leadup to the 2024 election, but their e ortfell short after a court battle. Williams sued Horn and the others. e Colorado GOP central committee on Saturday also elected Las Animas County GOP Chairman Lee Phelan Sr. as vice chair, denying current Vice Chair Scheppelman a second term, and former congressional candidate Russ Andrews as secretary. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state

Mines track & field teams generate their own ‘Golden hour’ at midweek meet
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ere’s no better time to take photos than the so-called “golden hour” shortly after sunrise or shortly before sunset, as the soft light and long shadows make images even more striking.
And, for the Colorado School of Mines outdoor track and eld teams, their recent accomplishments at a home meet made it feel like Golden hour — literally and proverbially speaking — at the Stermole Track & Field Complex.
On March 27, Mines hosted a small tri meet with the University of ColoradoBoulder and MSU Denver, where the
Orediggers broke two program records and set several personal-bests amid idyllic weather conditions.
is Mines Midweek Meet was the rst of four home meets the Orediggers are hosting this spring, including the 2025 RMAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships on April 25-27.
e highlight of the meet was Orediggers Abbi Gillespie and Jennifer Jarnagin both breaking the program record for the women’s hammer throw within minutes of each other.
Gillespie had a 57.51-meter throw on her very rst attempt, breaking teammate Kitt Rupar’s previous record of 56.42 meters from May. en, on her
fth attempt, Jarnagin hit 57.74 meters, breaking Gillespie’s newly set record.
Among other Mines eld accomplishments, Holden Murphy set the secondbest men’s discus throw in program history with 51.04 meters; Rupar took rst in women’s discus, and Jarnagin placed rst in women’s shot put.
On the track side, Everett Delate placed rst in the men’s 110-meter hurdles, nishing in 13.81 seconds. is not only tied his program record, but is the thirdbest time this year among all NCAA Division II competitors.
Elijah Quinby and Avery Wright each ran personal bests in the men’s 400-meter hurdles and the women’s 100-meter
hurdles, respectively.
Although it took second place to the CU team, the Mines men’s 4x100 relay team nished in 41.49. is is now the third-fastest time in program history and the best since 1996.
Similarly, Jonah Fallon might be ramping up to break Mines’ outdoor record in the men’s 400-meter race, as he already broke the indoor one this winter. On March 27, he nished rst in 47.01 — the fastest time for an Oredigger in 20 years. e Orediggers will be home again April 11-12 for their annual Kit Mayer Classic.

A twist in the long-running Vizguerra deportation case leads to another delay
Ms. Vizguerra’s detention was retaliatory for her exercise of her rst amendment speech rights.”
In a tactical shift, attorneys for Jeanette Vizguerra are now arguing that she is being unfairly targeted for deportation by government agents frustrated by their inability to remove her from the U.S. during a 15-year process.
e new approach by attorney Laura Lichter, led ursday, caused the cancellation of a recent court hearing designed to determine whether Vizguerra could continue to be held by the government for deportation.
Instead, U.S. District Judge Nina Y. Wang convened a status conference and gave the government three weeks to respond to Lichter’s forthcoming new argument that pursuit of Vizguerra is rooted in their frustration with her criticism over the years of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
“As the court is aware, this case has been moving very quickly and there have been material changes, some additional facts, that we determined after we led our initial petition,” said Lichter. “One of those centers around our concern that
“She was ambushed in the Target parking lot by o cers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement who said ‘wenally got you.’”
Such an argument may not ultimately protect Vizguerra from deportation, but it adds a new wrinkle to a case that has played out for more than a decade through immigration courts and the news media.
And, at least for now, it means she will remain held in the ICE detention facility in Aurora.
e government asked for 21 days to respond to the yet-to-be- led amended petition, noting that the court has already put a stay on any deportation until federal court proceedings run their course, which the judge said could push a hearing on the matter to late next month, depending on when the amended petition is led with the court.
Vizguerra has multiple federal court cases in process — including the one heard Friday. While her attorneys challenge her detention in federal district
court, they’re also disputing the validity of the deportation order against her in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. ey argue the government never properly served her with a deportation order and failed to fully inform her of her right to appeal.
Federal agents detained Vizguerra on March 17 — less than two months after President Donald Trump returned to ofce — while she was working at a Target store in the Denver area. Her attorneys led a habeas petition the next day, contesting her detention.
Vizguerra rose to national prominence in 2017, when she evaded immigration authorities by living in a church basement early in the rst Trump administration. Her public de ance drew widespread attention, making her a symbol for both immigration activists and hardliners.
She came to Colorado from Mexico in 1997 and worked her way up from cleaning o ces to organizing for the janitor’s union. In 2009, a routine tra c stop launched what has become a 15-year battle to stay in the U.S. Federal authorities initiated deportation proceedings, and while she appealed, Vizguerra traveled brie y to Mexico in 2012 to visit her dying mother. She later pleaded guilty to illegal reentry.

Case of measles reported in Colorado
Pueblo adult who traveled internationally has disease
BY JOHN DALEY CPR NEWS
Health o cials con rmed a case of measles March 31 in a Colorado resident from Pueblo who had recently traveled to an area of Mexico where there’s an ongoing measles outbreak.
e case was in an unvaccinated adult, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment said in a joint press release. ey urged Coloradans to check their vaccination status, monitor for symptoms, and be aware if they were at a pair of possible exposure locations, both in Pueblo, starting March 17. “Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know, but it is also highly preventable,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, deputy chief medical o cer and state epidemiologist. “ e MMR vaccine provides excellent protection and helps prevent outbreaks like the one we are seeing globally. We urge Coloradans to review their vaccination status and take steps to protect
DELAY
After serving one year of unsupervised probation, Vizguerra successfully applied for stays of deportation ve times. But when Trump rst took o ce in 2017, ICE denied her sixth request. She sought sanctuary in the First Unitarian Church in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Time Magazine named her one of the 100 most in uential people of the year in 2017. Her cause was championed by Colorado lawmakers, including thenCongressman Jared Polis, who said she was being unfairly targeted. Soon after, she received a two-year stay of deportation and left the church.
It was a short-lived reprieve. In 2019, when her stay was not renewed, she again sought sanctuary in the church. By 2020, amid the pandemic, protests over the killing of George Floyd, and a turbulent election year, Vizguerra quietly left the church once more.
Like many immigrants with uncertain status, Vizguerra kept a low prole — working at Target and raising her
themselves, their families, and their communities.”
Outbreaks have been popping up around the country, including in Texas and New Mexico, with cases for 2025 already at higher levels than all of last year.
As of March 27, a total of 483 con rmed measles cases were reported in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s been recorded in 19 states: Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Washington.
Colorado is the 20th state with a recent measles case.
Health o cials, in their release, posted locations where people could have been exposed to measles ey include a deli and cafe, Southwest Deli and Cafe in Pueblo, and a clinic, Southern Colorado Clinic Pueblo West, where people could have been exposed to it. ey said those who were there recently should “monitor for symptoms for 21 days after exposure and consider avoiding public gatherings or high-risk settings.” Monitoring for symptoms is key for people who are not vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. ey
U.S.-citizen children — until Trump was reelected last year. His administration again moved to deport her shortly after his inauguration.
Vizguerra’s national pro le has helped her secure extraordinary legal resources. Many of the hundreds of cases that go through immigration court in Colorado every year are rarely a orded more than limited pro bono help. Often people going through immigration court don’t have an attorney, and are confused by the proceedings. Many are deported to their home countries with no fanfare, no press.
Vizguerra’s attorneys told the judge that they were “frustrated” by the immigration authorities trying to proceed with so-called “reasonable fear” interviews with Vizguerra. It’s a normal part of the process, triggered by previous deportation orders.
“I sent an email yesterday to the Houston asylum o ce reiterating my concerns about representation and they’re not communicating directly with my client unless I was present, and asking them to hold the review in abeyance pending the result of this litigation,” said Lichter.
said they would update the locations, as needed.
People who were at the deli between March 17 and March 21 and the clinic on March 22, should monitor for symptoms and consider avoiding public gatherings and high-risk settings, public o cials said.
If you think you’ve been exposed and how to protect yourself
Measles symptoms typically develop seven to 21 days after exposure. ey include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and what measles is best known for, a rash. It usually starts on the face several days after exposure and spreads.
Health o cials urge people who were in one of the locations during the exposure period and developed symptoms to immediately contact their health care provider by phone.
If you don’t have a provider, they said to call an urgent care center or emergency department and explain that you may have been exposed to measles.
Calling ahead is a safety precaution that can prevent additional exposures to other people, according to the release. ose who have received the MMR vaccine or were born before 1957 are generally considered immune, according to the
release. Health o cials recommended all Coloradans make sure they and their children are up to date on MMR vaccinations. e MMR vaccine has been available for decades.
Some adults, not just kids, may need to get an MMR vaccine as well, according to infectious disease experts.
People who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated should closely monitor for symptoms during the 21 days after a possible exposure. If you’re exposed to the virus, getting the MMR vaccine within 72 hours after exposure can prevent infection.
Unvaccinated individuals, or those who aren’t sure of their immunity should talk to their health care provider about receiving the MMR vaccine. More information on vaccination and exposure to the virus is available from the CDC.
A child’s immunization records can be checked through the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS) Public Portal, though records may be incomplete if all vaccines have not been reported by providers.

Public Notice
Jefferson County
Assessor's Public Notice
Current Colorado law requires Assessors statewide to revalue all real property every two years (in odd-numbered years) and send a Notice of Valuation. Property values may also change in even-numbered years due to modifications to the property, such as new construction or parcel reconfiguring. For example, this could involve the creation of a new subdivision or the splitting of a parcel. On or before May 1, our office will mail property owners a Notice of Valuation reflecting any change in value. These processes are governed by state law and are carried out by your local county assessor.
After receiving the notice, we encourage property owners to visit our website assessor.jeffco. us to review their property characteristics and neighborhood sales using our Property Records search and Comparable Sales search. For tax year 2025, the market value stated is an estimate of your home’s worth on June 30, 2024. Only sales that occurred between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2024, are used for analysis. We cannot consider sales or other market influences that occurred after June 30, 2024. Note: Accessing your property information online is free, and our website does not request payment for this service.
The Jefferson County Colorado Assessor will hear any appeals concerning the valuation of taxable real property for tax year 2025 beginning May 1, 2025.
Property owners who wish to file an appeal may also do so online at assessor.jeffco.us.
The website not only contains a link and information to file an appeal for all property types but also includes information on the assessment process and answers to frequently asked questions.
Appeals that are mailed for real property must be postmarked by June 9, 2025. If you file online, please do not also file by mail or in person. The Assessor's Office is located at Jefferson County Government Center #2500, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, CO 80419. Regular office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m.
Appeals concerning the valuation of taxable personal property (business equipment) will be heard beginning June 16, 2025. Written objections for personal property valuations must be postmarked by July 1, 2025.
Appeals that are filed online will be considered timely up until 11:59 p.m. MST. on June 9, 2025, for Real Property, and July 01, 2025, for Personal Property.

MEALS
Joint Budget Committee lawmakers released a $43.9 billion budget proposal that includes accompanying legislation to address the program’s funding.
In the best case scenario, voters approve more revenue for the program and the state avoids cuts. In the worst case, state cutbacks would mean only some schools would be eligible to get money for free lunches.
In 2022, Colorado voters allowed the state to raise revenue to make breakfast and lunch free for all students regardless
CONCERNS
Several children began associating school with fear.
One reportedly began refusing to attend, telling his parents, “I don’t feel safe at school.”
Parents said early attempts to raise concerns were met with empathy but little action. As incidents continued, families contacted district o cials and organized among themselves, compiling a timeline of injuries and evacuations to track the pattern.
Frustrations deepened when district administrators told the families they couldn’t share speci cs due to privacy laws. e Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, restricts schools from disclosing information about individual students, including disciplinary actions.
While parents acknowledged the student’s right to support under IDEA, the disabilities act, many questioned what steps were being taken to protect the rest of the class.
“ e district keeps citing FERPA and IDEA as reasons they can’t tell us more,” one parent said. “But no one will answer a simple question: What are you doing to keep the rest of the class safe?”
The district’s response
According to a timeline created by parents, families began raising concerns in the fall. When initial conversations with the principal didn’t result in change, they escalated their concerns to Community Superintendent Lynn Torr, Interim Chief of Schools Todd Engels and Deputy Superintendent Kym LeBlanc Esparza. e district added additional classroom support, including a one-on-one paraprofessional, frequent administrator presence and eventually a behavioral specialist. But parents said those e orts were ine ective.
of family income by lowering a tax credit for taxpayers making more than $300,000 a year. In the rst year, funding fell short by $56 million. Lawmakers covered the gap and have continued to do so as the demand for meals soared. Next year, lawmakers will no longer be able to cover costs through the state’s education savings.
e state budget estimates the program will need $151 million next year, but the state will only collect $108.8 million.
e bill would reduce additional state funding to $8 million, enough money to maintain the program through December.
en the bill spells out two scenarios. In the rst, lawmakers pass House Bill
Responses, parents said, were sympathetic but noncommittal. One was told the matter was “being handled at the highest levels,” but e orts to schedule meetings proved di cult.
In the parent timeline, they documented a response from Torr stating he was waiting for a reply from Superintendent Kym LeBlanc-Esparza to schedule a meeting with them and that “getting a meeting on her calendar takes an act of God.”
Je co Public Schools Associate Chief of Communications and Strategic Partnerships Kimberly Mahugh said leadership took the issue seriously as soon as they became aware and did “everything in its power to protect the safety and well-being of everyone involved.”
When asked why Torr told parents that “getting a meeting with LeBlanc-Esparza would require an act of God,” Mahugh acknowledged the statement was unprofessional and said she would make sure someone would follow up with him directly.
What the law says
Federal law requires schools to educate students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment, meaning alongside their non-disabled peers as much as possible. When a student exhibits aggressive or disruptive behavior, it’s the school district’s responsibility to act, according to Selene A. Almazan, legal director at the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates.
at can include reevaluating the student’sIndividualized Education Program, conducting aFunctional Behavior Assessmentand updating theBehavior Intervention Plan.
“ e interventions should be proactive, not reactive,” Almazan said. “It’s not about corralling a student. e student has to learn what to do with these big emotions or these impulses.”
Districts must also collect data, identify behavior patterns and assess whether additional support or a change in place-
1274, which is already under consideration and sends two referendums before voters in November to raise more money for the program.
e rst referendum would ask voters to approve allowing the state to retain money for the program that typically must be refunded to taxpayers due to the state’s cap on spending.
e second referendum would ask voters to expand the program by increasing taxable income on those who earn over $300,000 a year. A nancial analysis of the bill estimates that referendum would generate more than $95 million each year for the school meals program.
e state would collect enough money for the program to maintain services
ment is needed.
Almazan said schools sometimes claim their hands are tied, but that’s not entirely accurate.
“ ey’re not tied. at’s a myth,” she said. “ ey could go to a hearing o cer and get the equivalent of anHonig injunctionand get the student removed.” is process requires proof that a student poses a danger to others, typically under theserious bodily injurystandard. ough the bar is high, Almazan said, it remains a legal option if other interventions fail.
Yet, families of other students in the classroom have fewer direct legal protections
“ ere are no direct rights under IDEA for the other students,” Almazan said. “But the school district is still responsible for what’s happening in that classroom. is is a school issue. is is not about this student. e responsibility is on the adults to create a safe and supportive learning environment.”
statewide, according to budget projections.
In the second scenario, if the referendum doesn’t pass, only schools that currently participate in the federal Community Eligibility Provision program would qualify for meals free of charge.
Schools where at least 25% of the population quali es for the federal free or reduced lunch pricing threshold would also receive funding.
Students at other schools would have to ll out a federal form to receive free or reduced meals.
is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.
What parents can do
While families of students in general education settings may have limited legal recourse, there are steps they can take to advocate for their children and press for change.
1. Focus on your child’s experience Almazan said parents are most likely to get answers by requesting records related to their child, such as evacuation logs, missed instructional time or support services o ered.
2. Ask for support services
If a child is anxious, afraid or struggling emotionally due to classroom disruptions, parents can request a meeting with school sta . Almazan said schools must respond when a student’s learning or well-being is impacted.
3. Follow the chain of command Begin with the child’s teacher, then the school principal. If the issue isn’t resolved, escalate through the district’s reporting structure. In Je erson County, that includes the community superin-
tendent, chief of schools and, if needed, the superintendent’s o ce.
4. Document everything
In this case, parents compiled a detailed timeline of incidents, communications and actions taken — or not taken — by school and district leaders. Almazan said this documentation can support requests for services or complaints.
5. Learn the system — or get help navigating it
Even if a child isn’t on an IEP, families can work with special education advocates or attorneys to understand district obligations and legal options.
6. Keep the focus on accountability, not blame
In emotionally charged situations, it can be tempting to assign blame. But, advocates say focusing on systemic accountability is more e ective. Blame isolates individual students; accountability pushes districts to act.
Parents say repeated disruptions have raised safety concerns at one Je co school.
