‘Wait and see’: How federal government policies are impacting Golden’s city projects

Two years after a man was found dead of a gunshot wound inside his RV, the jury trial is scheduled to start April 28 at the Je erson
Donald Harris, the 52-year-old defendant, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Matthew Hire in spring 2023.
Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce investigators believe Hire, 57, was killed in late March 2023, but his body wasn’t found until mid-April when a deputy found his RV door swinging open in the Golden-area Wooly Mammoth Park-N-Ride lot.
expenses and deep reserves.
Amid so much change with federal government policies and international markets, City of Golden o cials have said they’re moving forward with the programs and projects budgeted for 2025, albeit cautiously.
“ ere’s a lot of turmoil taking place right now,” City Manager Scott Vargo said. “We’re in a wait-and-see approach for the most part.”
Vargo told the Transcript on April 4 that the city’s being “deliberate and conscious of the changing environment that we’re operating within,” emphasizing how Golden will continue to provide all its services and programs as planned.
However, as Vargo con rmed, a few ripple e ects from President Donald Trump’s policy decisions have already been felt at the city level.
Lena Gulch project e rst was how federal funding has been frozen or re-evaluated.
Vargo said there are several planned or ongoing city projects receiving federal dollars, describing how there’s a spectrum of vulnerability based on the federal funding source and the project status.
Beierle con rmed work is nearly complete on Lena Gulch’s Phase I — replacing a culvert underneath Heritage Road at the intersection with West Colfax Avenue/U.S. Highway 40.
Beierle said the intersection should reopen by the end of April. (Editor’s note: For more information, see sidebar on Page 12.)
Lena Gulch’s Phases II and III, which involves improving culverts both upstream and downstream of Heritage Road, were slated to start later this year. ey are now on hold as Golden awaits federal funds.
Harris — an acquaintance of Hire’s — has been charged with rst-degree murder, a felony charge of possession of a weapon by a previous o ender and two sentence enhancers. He had a $2 million cash-only bond set in the case.
Harris was scheduled for jury trial in early November; however, Judge Jason Carrithers declared mistrial after the prosecution and defense ran out of jurors during jury selection.
On April 9, the parties gathered at the Je co courthouse to review all the procedural elements to ensure jury selection goes smoother this time, among other items.

e city and its partners received a $23.8 million PROTECT Grant for that work, as con rmed last year by President Joe Biden’s administration. Golden and its partners were set to match it with $6 million of their own.
Harris, who’s in custody in Denver for a separate case, was not present in the courtroom for the April 9 status conference, but Carrithers made sure everything was ready for Harris to be transported to the Je co jail before April 28. e prosecutor and Harris’ defense attorney believed that, after jury selection on April 28, the proceedings would run through that week and part of the next.

Drop in Consumer Confidence & Concerns About Trade War Are Not Yet Reflected in Real Estate Statistics
Last Friday, CNN reported on a survey by the University of Michigan about consumer confidence, which showed a significant decline — 30% since December 2024.
“This decline was, like the last month’s, pervasive and unanimous across age, income, education, geographic region and political affiliation,” Joanne Hsu, the survey’s director, said in a release.
According to CNN, “the Federal Reserve and Wall Street are watching closely how souring sentiment translates into consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of the US economy, and whether Americans lose faith that inflation will return to normal in the coming years.”
Sales are continuing to rise, and an increasing number of sellers are putting their homes on the MLS. Here are statistics for the previ-

ous seven days (as of last Friday):

That decline is consumer sentiment is not yet reflected in real estate statistics which I researched on REcolorado, Denver’s MLS. The charts shown in this report are for the 13 months from March 2024 through March 2025, so that you can see both year-over-year and month-over-month changes.

This is not an easy time to list and sell a home, and I would describe it as a “buyer’s market.” Even in a buyer’s market, however, keep in mind that a home which is priced correctly and has appealing qualities can sell quickly and even be in a bidding war.
How fast? Here’s the change in months of inventory and median days on the MLS:
The blue line is the asking price per square foot, and the green line is the sold price per square foot. In December, that price was bid up, but since then it has fallen, which is a

Redfin Report Highlights Increasing Cost of Buying vs. Renting
The financial gap between purchasing a home and renting a home or apartment has grown significantly, making the dream of homeownership more distant, according to a report released by Redfin last Thursday.
According to the report, the typical American now needs to earn over $116,600 annually to afford a median-priced home in the U.S., compared to just $64,160 needed to afford an average apartment. That’s an 81.1 percent income gap — the widest it has been in recent years.
Homes are still being put on the MLS and are still selling. I limited my analysis to an 18-mile radius of downtown Denver, as shown in the map at right, not the “metro area” defined by county boundaries, as preferred by the Market Trends Committee of REcolorado.
First I looked at the count of active versus closed listing by month:
At the current rate of sales, it would take 3 months to sell the number of currently active listings, but the median days on market fell from over 40 in January to 17 in March.
Meanwhile, the average and median sold prices have remained steady. Average is always higher because of the number of million dollar homes sold.
I like to look at the change in price per finished square foot, since the size of homes
Those are national statistics, however. Here in the Denver metro area, the differential is much higher — 131.7 percent — according to Redfin. It takes an income of $155,717 to afford a median-priced home ($580,719) and $67,200 to afford a medianpriced apartment ($1,680 per month). That’s a year-over-year income increase of 4% for buying and a 1.1% decrease for renting. That reflects the national pattern of increased differential between the affordability of buying versus the affordability of renting.
The income needed to afford the typical home is calculated using the prevailing median home sale price and average mortgageinterest rate over rolling three-month periods, and assumes a 15% down payment. The typical housing payments noted in Redfin’s report include the mortgage principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners’ insurance and mortgage insurance.
Charities Which
The income needed to afford the typical apartment is calculated using the prevailing median asking rent over rolling three-month periods. Median asking rent figures cover newly listed units in apartment buildings with five or more units. Asking rents reflect the current costs of new leases during each time period. In other words, the amount shown as the median asking rent is not the median of what all renters are paying, but the median asking price of apartments that were available for new renters during the report period.
Redfin considers a home affordable if a buyer spends no more than 30% of their income on their housing payment. They use the same threshold for rental affordability.
The San Francisco Bay Area had the highest income differentials in the Redfin study. In San Jose, someone needs an annual income of $408,557 to afford the typical home for sale. That’s 218% more than they need to afford the typical apartment for rent—the biggest premium among the metro areas which Redfin analyzed. Next came San Francisco (176%), Seattle (145%), Austin (143%) and Los Angeles (141%).
Cincinnati saw the biggest drop in the homebuying premium. There someone needs an annual income of $80,752 to afford the typical home for sale. That’s 38.9% more than they need to afford the typical rental. A year ago they would have needed to earn 47.7% more to buy versus rent.

Rules for private equity funded child care dead
BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT
Child care chains backed by private equity investment rms won’t be subject to new limits intended to protect parents or workers, after a Colorado bill died in the state Senate April 8.
Senators initially passed House Bill 251011 on April 7, after rejecting a major change made last week in a legislative committee. But by the next day, some lawmakers had defected and the bill failed in an 18-16 vote.
Sen. Cathy Kipp, a Democrat from northern Colorado and one of the bill’s sponsors, said, “We were just unable to convince people between second and third reading that they should stick with us.”

• e City Market in Pagosa Springs between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. on Monday, March 31.
People who were at those locations during those times should monitor themselves for symptoms for 21 days and consider avoiding public gatherings during that time. If people do develop symptoms
e two readings are the initial andnal votes on legislation in the full House or Senate.
e legislation represented the rst time Colorado lawmakers have considered potential problems posed by private equity rms that buy or invest in child care centers. Experts say private equity backing can hurt child care quality, raise prices for families, and send public dollars meant for classrooms into the pockets of wealthy investors. But leaders of large chains backed by private equity rms say they provide many desperately needed child care seats and that new guardrails would chill investment in Colorado’s child care industry.
About 15% of child care seats for young children in Colorado are housed in cen-

Health o cials say people who think they may have measles should always call ahead so that medical providers can make plans to keep other patients at the clinic from being exposed.
CDPHE did not immediately provide information on how the infected person in Archuleta County is doing, though it said the person’s window for contagiousness ended on April 3. e person’s vaccination status is unclear.

Other states, including Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Jersey, have passed laws aimed at such chains in recent years.
Kipp said she’ll meet with the other sponsors after the legislative session to “see if there is potentially a path forward, whether that be next year or the year after.”
e legislation would have required child care chains owned or backed by private equity or venture capital investors to post their tuition and fees online. It also would have required such chains to give
and it has been at least a decade since Colorado last saw three or more cases of measles in a year.
But, with vaccination rates against measles dipping across the country, the U.S. has seen more than 600 cases of measles this year, with more 500 of those in Texas.
Ski resort communities in southwestern Colorado, which see a lot of visitors from Texas, had been worried that spring break travel could bring measles to their towns.
With measles outbreaks currently ongoing not only in Texas but in the surrounding states of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas — and with the summer travel season approaching — state health ofcials have been urging people who are unvaccinated or who may need a booster to consider getting the shot.

e original version of the bill also would have prevented a common real estate practice in the private equity world, but that provision on “sale-leasebacks” was stripped out in the House. Experts say sale-leasebacks, which force acquired companies to sell their property and then lease it back from the new owner, can harm companies nancially by forcing them to shoulder a new expense.

According to city sta , Golden’s charter mandates that all wards maintain about the same number of registered voters.
e di erence between the highest and lowest wards cannot exceed 15%, city sta explained at the April 8 City Council meeting.
A review is required every four years. e city last examined it in 2019, but hasn’t needed to redraw the ward boundaries since 2007, according to City Clerk Monica Mendoza.
Based on 2023 general municipal election data:
• Ward 1, which covers much of central and southeast Golden, has 3,147 registered voters; • Ward 2 in southwest Golden has 3,219;
• Ward 3 in north and northeast Golden has 3,445; and
• Ward 4, which covers much of downtown and north-central Golden, has 2,844.
e 601-voter di erence between Ward 3 and Ward 4 is 17.45%, Mendoza explained, requiring the city to redraw the ward boundaries to correct the imbalance.
us, about 300 voters from Ward 3 had to move to Ward 4, Mendoza said.
Because the city’s language about its ward boundaries hadn’t been updated since 2007, city sta said there were several legal items that needed to be addressed and boundaries that needed to be clari ed. One of them was regarding properties the city has annexed over the last 18 years. Another clari ed that voters who live along Homestead Circle in southern Golden have and continue to remain in Ward 2.
Councilor Don Cameron noted that, under the new language, any future annexations will be contiguous with the updated boundaries.
He and Councilor Bill Fisher described how several ongoing construction projects, like e Col along West Colfax Avenue between Violet Street and Corporate Drive, will soon add voters to the city. However, even then, Cameron hoped Golden wouldn’t have to redraw its boundaries anytime soon, because “we were strategic” this time, he said. Fisher added: “We know the areas where new homes and new voters are likely to be.”
Price tag for women’s soccer project: $70M
Denver proposes a two-part spending package for land and improvements
BY PAOLO ZIALCITA AND ANDREW KENNEY DENVERITE
e city of Denver could spend $70 million to buy land for a women’s soccer stadium and make improvements near the site in the Baker neighborhood, according to a newly released city document.
e unnamed new National Women’s Soccer League team had already unveiled its plan to build a stadium as part of a mixed-used development adjacent to the Broadway Station light rail stop — but details on the nances have been short.
Now, the city is proposing a two-part public spending package to support the project.
e city could spend up to $50 million to buy land for the stadium and make improvements on the site, which is near Interstate 25 and Broadway.
Another $20 million could go to parks, trails, a bridge and other improvements in the surrounding area. Improved in-
frastructure around the stadium could “increase its bene t and enjoyment by neighbors and visitors.”
e city would own the stadium land permanently, allowing it to repurpose the property if the team ever leaves. e stadium is set to anchor a larger 41-acre development known as Santa Fe Yards, which could include a mix of residential and other uses by 2028.
Mayor Mike Johnston previously said the city’s commitment to the project would be limited to land acquisition and infrastructure costs. He said the construction of the stadium itself would be fully funded by the team’s ownership.
e stadium is planned to be tightly integrated with nearby public park space and more, according to the presentation. A rendering shows a stadium with one end opening toward a green lawn and pavilion.
e spending could “at long last” reconnect the “adjacent neighborhoods via investment in the public infrastructure necessary to provide public access and services to the stadium and park site.”
e I-25 and Broadway area is divided by the highway, Broadway, rail tracks and the South Platte River.

Lawmakers slam Early Intervention program
Growing caseload for child therapy program creates $4 million funding shortfall
BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT
In late winter, Je Bridges got word that state-funded therapy for his 1-year-old son, who was born prematurely, would be slashed by half starting in July.
Bridges was upset. But he had a better reason than most parents to be caught o guard. at’s because the Arapahoe County Democrat is the head of a powerful legislative committee that makes key decisions about state spending. Members of that committee had repeatedly promised to protect funding for Colorado’s $87 million Early Intervention program. e program provides therapy and related services to babies and toddlers with developmental delays — including Bridges’ son. Bridges shared the story in a recent Joint Budget Committee hearing where he and other members, both Democrats and Republicans, slammed the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, which administers the program, for poor communication and planning. “ is is one of those places where, if we could punish the department without hurting kids, man oh man, would I be on board with that,” he said.
e committee members’ sharp words that March day raised questions about the early childhood department’s leadership and capacity, with lawmakers expressing concern that the state’s youngest and most vulnerable residents could su er because of internal problems at the department.
For now, no signi cant cuts to Early Intervention are planned, either this spring or for the new scal year, which starts in July. at’s sure to be a relief to the tens of thousands of Colorado families whose children get free therapies through the program. In addition, Joint Budget Committee members have demanded better communication from the department, and department o cials have signaled they’ll comply.
O cials from the Department of Early Childhood, which was created in 2022 and is headed by Lisa Roy, declined an interview request from Chalkbeat.
ey sent a statement on April 3, saying, in part, “ e Department is set to present an update to the [Joint Budget Committee] in the rst weeks of June with recommendations for the nancial sustainability of the program, incorporating feedback from families and providers. Current early intervention services will continue unchanged as a result of the JBC’s action to identify additional funding for the program.”
Families surprised by planned service cuts e uproar over Early Intervention began in late February when the Department of Early Childhood made an abrupt announcement. Starting in March, a $4 million funding shortfall meant therapies would be capped at four hours a month, a fraction of what many children were receiving.
State o cials said the shortfall was partly caused by a growing caseload in Early Intervention, which serves about 11,000 children a month. e expiration of federal COVID stimulus funds and the fact that fewer children are eligible for Medicaid, a federal health insurance program that helps pay for the therapies, also contributed to budget problems.
Department o cials, in the statement sent April 3, said they had di culty accurately projecting Early Intervention caseload increases because eligibility rules for the program changed in 2020 and 2023, and because far
more children have been screened for delays in the last two years.
After the late February announcement about impending cuts, parents and Early Intervention providers were outraged and tearful, with many contacting lawmakers and the media to describe the damage the cuts would do.
e Joint Budget Committee acted quickly to stave o the cuts this spring. At the same time, committee members chastised department o cials for not letting them know about the potential shortfall sooner.
“Why didn’t somebody come over here and say, ‘We got a perfect storm. We need your help?‘” Republican Rep. Rick Taggart asked a department o cial at a Feb. 27 committee meeting.
“Nothing, crickets. And yet, we’ve got to nd out about it through the press and through our constituents and providers that could be devastated,” he said. “ is is just unbelievable to me.”
e committee meeting ended on a calmer note, with Bridges urging department o cials to keep committee members in the loop.
“We are six human beings that folks can talk to, and we desire information, and want to make sure that things like this don’t happen when we can avoid it,” he said.
Even bigger problems emerge
A couple weeks after the February budget committee meeting, the Early Intervention issue blew up again — this time, prompting even more wrath from committee members.
On March 14, the committee heard from a legislative analyst that the program would need more than $16 million to prevent cuts for the 2025-26 scal year.
“Awesome,” said Bridges sarcastically. Ten minutes later, he recounted learning about potential Early Intervention cuts planned for July from his son’s physical therapist.
During that meeting, committee members unanimously approved more than $16 million to plug the program’s looming funding hole for 2025-26. ey also thanked the legislative analyst for trying to forecast how the Early Intervention caseload would grow in the coming year, but expressed irritation that early childhood department sta hadn’t done it themselves.
Democratic Rep. Emily Sirota, who called the Early Intervention saga “this whole disaster,” noted that worried families were still contacting her, fearful their kids would lose important therapies.
“Hopefully today, we can make people feel a little bit more at ease that their littlest ones will continue to get the services that they need,” she said. “But the communication and the lack of work and transparency with us has been disappointing, to say the least.”
Bridges noted he’d spoken to Roy, the department’s director, that day.
He said, “I do feel … the department recognizes the massive failures” that prompted the last-minute xes by the budget committee.
In recent weeks, the department has held feedback sessions with parents and Early Intervention providers and promised to improve its caseload forecasting with help from other state agencies.
In June, the department is scheduled to report back to the Joint Budget Committee.

Even man’s best friend understands value of friendship
We have two dogs that are best friends. ree-year-old Skye and one-year-old Bear are Coltrievers, part Golden Retriever and part Border Collie. Technically, they are aunt and nephew; Bear’s mother was born in the same litter as Skye.
old Bear joined our family, Skye started trying to get him to play with her; so incredibly happy to have a playmate. What began as a fullgrown dog trying to coax a timid weeksold puppy into doing a little bit of running around has evolved into full-on races inside and outside of the house where you will often hear Beth or I exclaim, “Hey, now that’s too rough.”
e games of these two best friends are a joy to watch. ey might start with Skye squeaking a toy four or ve times or Bear patting the ground and pretending to jump forward.
e language of these two is amazing to watch in action. e invitation to playtime is followed by a mix of wagging tails, panting tongues, playful growling, lots of running and un ltered joy. eir rumpus room friendship has this dear, quiet side, too. Last week, I was sitting at the table doing some work, and these two best friends lay on top of my
feet with their heads touching each other. As I watched that sweet, tender moment, I could not help but think about the role friends play in our lives. e collective power of friendship is astounding. In the history of humankind friendship has altered the course of entire nations, been the foundation for business empires, and the impetus for life-changing discoveries and inventions.
Friendships make our individual days richer and provide us with avenues for laughter and lifetime memories. ey present us opportunities to share our deepest secrets and a shoulder to cry on in times of greatest need. Friendships are one of our world’s most precious resources. Nurturing a friendship reaps amazing rewards for each of us.
When a friend faces challenging life events, it can leave us searching for the perfect way to help. We know how much that friendship adds to our lives, and we want to be that same type of support for our friend. We see their pain and their need, and we want to be the di erence makers. Most of us will, at some point, face questions about how to support our friends in their moment of need.
Here is what I have learned so far about those moments when you want to help but don’t know how:
• Be consistent, a force of positivity they can trust will be present.
• Listen so you understand the needs of the person struggling.
The happy days of U.S. manufacturing are gone
After World War II, Americans came home and began building one of the world’s best economies.
Our soldiers took advantage of the GI Bill which helped pay for education and housing. ey married their sweethearts and moved into the new homes that were being built. As U.S. car production resumed, they bought a car and took one of the many new jobs being created by the wildly expanding American economy. As the wartime economy transformed into a peacetime one you might call it the Golden Age of American Capitalism.
If minds be so
e Golden Age continued into the ‘50’s as America’s GNP more than doubled between 1945 and 1960. One of our economy’s successes were the thousands of small manufacturers serving both consumer and industrial needs. By 1954 there were approximately 344,000 manufacturing establishments in the U.S.
One of those in my hometown was a small company that made thermometers. It employed between 100 and 150 employees. My father was a sales and marketing executive for this company. In our town of about 75,000 there were a dozen or so similar sized companies making a variety of products or machine parts. ese small manufacturers were scattered around the country and were especially common in the Midwest. My dad’s company, like the others, treated employees well in terms of pay and bene ts. I well remember when I was about to go o to college, my dad was given a
raise to cover the annual cost of college. e companies were loyal to their employers and the employees returned the loyalty with hard work.
In the seventies things began to change. Owners who were now of retirement age looked for a business sale opportunity to fund their retirement. As ownership changed from founding families to competitors or larger companies in companion businesses, the smaller business was often shut down. As this happened again and again, thousands of jobs were lost.
At the same time, larger manufacturers began to utilize robotics and other labor-saving strategies. Over 3.5 million industrial robots are currently operating in factories worldwide (according to the International Federation of Robotics). e United States has some of the highest labor costs globally, particularly in the manufacturing sector. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2016, the average hourly compensation cost in U.S. manufacturing was $39.03. is gure is higher than in many other industrialized countries, such as the United Kingdom ($26.96), Japan ($25.37), and Korea ($15.58).
As the U.S. has navigated through the changing business realities, the products o ered have changed from manufacturing to services like, banking, insurance,
legal and many others. We will likely not be well positioned to see the manufacturing sector rise to the happy days of the 50’s.
As of the latest data, manufacturing employment in the United States comprises approximately 8.3% of the total workforce. is re ects a signicant decline from previous decades; for instance, in 1990, manufacturing accounted for about 16.3% of total U.S. employment. Despite this decrease, the manufacturing sector remains a crucial component of the U.S. economy, contributing $2.93 trillion to the economy, which is 10.0% of U.S. GDP as of the third quarter of 2024.
e current idea of using tari s to bring back manufacturing to America seems unlikely to succeed. We are part of a world economy, and we must compete to succeed. In its nal days, the small thermometer company lacked the know how to produce digital thermometers. Each time I spy a round dial thermometer, I strain to see if it is an Ohio ermometer, If so, a tear comes to my eye. Mr. President, thanks for trying to bring back the happy days. If you could, I would gladly trade for my computer and phone.

The Revolutionary War began in April 1775 at the Battle of Lexington and Concord. After the Shot Heard Round the World, there could be no compromise. e American rebellion either had to be crushed, or it had to succeed. Twenty months into the war, omas Paine wrote it was a time that tried men’s souls. e situation was grim. e Continental Army was back on its heels, but that didn’t deter those ghting for their rights. ey sti ened their resolve and remained resolute.
Today, many Americans are back on their heels. e country is in a period of disrepair with anxiety enveloping the nation. Faith and trust in major institutions has declined. Algorithms of tech giants, like Meta, condition users’ brains to salivate like Pavlov’s dogs when hearing a bell. Predatory private equity groups drive costs up for consumers by sucking the blood from upstarts and small businesses. e wealth gap is inexorably widening. e top 10% control 69% of American wealth and the bottom fty percent a mere six percent. Many work multiple jobs trying to make ends meet.

ere are those who say we haven’t been through a time like this one. But we’ve been at the brink before. Nonetheless, I get it. is era seems like a mutant pathogen compared to our previous turbulent periods. It’s seriously worrisome no matter what one’s political persuasion is.
Citing examples from our past, however, doesn’t assuage the fear that we’re currently facing extreme threats and crises. Far from it. It just gives evidence that we’re never completely safe and that our wellbeing and rights cannot be taken for granted. It takes ongoing vigilance and work to protect and ensure them. at begins with not self-sabotaging and ceding personal power. But many continue to do just that and then feel hapless and helpless when doo-doo hits the fan. I fear that we’re evolving into automatons. We’re being so conditioned, anesthetized even, by the fast-and-easy MO of modern life — think fast food, Facebook, and cell phones—that we’re becoming mechanistic. e result is that cynicism has become a social mindset. ere’s more than one problem with that beginning with cynicism being antithetical to the human condition. A primary tenet of cynicism is an I-cando-it-alone mentality, but we’re a social, co-dependent species. It’s bad enough to lose faith and trust in institutions; it’s quite another to lose them in each other, our fellow citizens. If that happens, it will lead not only to personal and societal dysfunction but also be injurious to, even lethal for, our democracy.

I fear, though, that some if not many of them have lost that “loving feeling” now that they’re middle aged, the time when disillusionment can set in.

ADiscover tips for a fresh start from local experts
s the days grow longer and da odils bloom, the arrival of spring brings more than just warmer weather. Pollen levels rise and dust bunnies hop around long after Easter.
Consequently, people emerge from winter hibernation to declutter closets and scrub oorboards with the start of the new season, marking the start of spring cleaning season.
While it is currently spring only in the northern hemisphere, multiple cultures across the globe are linked to spring cleaning.
One of the earliest references of the practice is generally acknowledged in the Jewish observance of Passover, which typically occurs in March or April, and lasts for about a week.
During this time, homes are cleaned to remove chametz — leavened grains like wheat or barley — symbolizing their swift departure from Egypt, when they couldn’t wait for the bread to nish baking.
In preparation for Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Catholic churches undergo thorough cleanings on Maundy ursday, exhibiting puri cation and readiness for the sacred days ahead.
Celebrated in March, Nowruz, which means “new day” in Persian, includes kh ne-tak n or “shaking the house,” where families deep-clean their homes to
sweep away the past and welcome new beginnings. In ailand, Songkran, which is a two-day festival in April, marks the ai New Year with the cleaning of homes and public spaces. Water plays a central role as people splash it on each other and Buddha statues to cleanse bad luck and invite blessings.
Known as “death cleaning,” Sweden’s philosophy, Döstädning, involves decluttering possessions to simplify life and ease burdens — a practical approach that conveys letting go of things that are no longer needed. Döstädning isn’t limited to a certain time of the year, but is rather instilled as a lifestyle.
Spring cleaning has remained a tradition for many, and local experts around the Denver metro area are weighing in with tips and tricks to tidy a home inside and out.
Health benefits
Spring cleaning isn’t just about aesthetics — it also o ers tangible health bene ts:
• Reduces allergens like pollen, mold and dust mites.
• Eliminates bacteria and viruses that can cause illness.
• Improves indoor air quality by removing pollutants.
• Decreases stress by creating a clean, organized environment.
• Enhances safety by reducing clutter that could cause trips or falls.
Tree pollen is a signi cant allergen during Colorado’s springtime, with elm, cottonwood, oak and maple trees being common culprits, according to Wyndly, an allergy-based healthcare company.
Pollen counts tend to be highest midday and evening, leaving the morning as the only time when outdoor allergens are at their lowest counts and the best time to ventilate homes, said Ryan Buckley, a doctor at Colorado Allergy & Asthma Centers.
For the indoors, Buckley recommends cleaning with products that are free of dyes and fragrances and using the minimum amount possible.
“Some over-the-counter cleaning products can irritate the airways,” he said. “If you are particularly sensitive to cleaning products, ventilate the area while cleaning.”
Buckley warned that making at-home cleaning solutions should be done cautiously, and advised against mixing vinegar and bleach as it can produce a hazardous chlorine gas.
Buckley also emphasized the importance of installing the correct air lter grade in central HVAC systems to trap allergens e ectively.
“If appropriate, consider running the system on ventilation mode periodically — for example, 15 minutes every one hour — to help move air through the lter and facilitate allergen removal, (and) replace lters as recommended by the manufacturer,” he said.
SPRING CLEANING
Buckley recommends placing a dehumidi er in bathrooms or basements that tend to be high in humidity levels, which can contribute to mold growth. He said indoor humidity levels should ideally be 40 to 50%, and added that anything lower can be too drying and aggravate allergy symptoms.
“If despite e ective cleaning e orts, you continue to have allergy symptoms, it is a good idea to undergo an allergy evaluation by a board-certi ed allergist,” Buckley said. “ ere are a variety of treatment options from over-the-counter medications to prescription therapies, including allergen immunotherapy. If needed, allergy testing can help identify potential triggers and better guide therapy to help you remain symptom-free.”
Organization strategies
Dedicating a whole day to this season’s deep cleaning is how some decide to tackle the tasks, while others prefer to break it up over multiple days.
MaidPro, a cleaning company that has locally owned and operated businesses around Denver’s metro area, says on its website that breaking it up “is perfect for homeowners with busy schedules who can’t commit to an entire day of cleaning” but adds that “you must stay committed and ensure you don’t slack o toward the end of your spring cleaning.”
Many say that organization is key to e cient spring cleaning. ey include Cody Galloway, co-
founder of TULA, a service that helps “create more balance in life.”
By completing clients’ to-do lists — such as laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning and home organization — TULA came out of necessity to help clients who are inundated by life’s tasks, Galloway said.
“You stare at your endless to-do list while being stretched very thin at both work and at home and think, ‘there has to be a better way,’” she said. “So, we made one.”
TULA was founded in 2020 in Denver and has since spread its services to Boulder and Aspen, in addition to out-of-state locations, including Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Montana and North Carolina.
Galloway said TULA has a clientele that consists of busy parents and professionals, and anyone who just needs an extra set of hands.
Prioritizing deep-cleaning and decluttering tasks can be di cult, so Galloway recommends starting with the most overwhelming areas rst.
“If looking at your closet makes you break out in a cold sweat, that’s the place to start,” she said. “Tackle one category at a time — clothes, then shoes, then accessories — so you don’t end up sitting on the oor reminiscing over an old concert T-shirt or your painting overalls for two hours.”
Galloway recommends that spring cleaners invest in label makers and clear bins to organize the home.
“If you can’t see what’s inside, you’ll forget it exists,” she said.
While organizing, Galloway said implementing the “one-year rule” mindset is essential: “If you haven’t used it in a year, it’s time to part ways,” she said.
“ONE-YEAR RULE. IF YOU HAVEN’T
USED IT IN A YEAR, IT’S TIME TO PART WAYS.”
Cody Galloway, co-founder of TULA
Clothing donations
Clothing, accessories and other donations can be made to local Goodwills and Arc rift Stores, and family-owned stores such as 2nd Time Around rift in Aurora. e thrift store opened in 2020 and continues to be family-operated, focusing on providing high-quality items for low costs.
Local H&M stores collect unwanted garments and sort them for rewear as secondhand clothing, reused to make other products such as a cleaning cloth, or recycled and shredded to be remade into other materials. ose who donate clothes or textiles to the store also receive a coupon to use on their next H&M purchase, according to its website, hm.com. e success of a spring cleaning project is “when you walk into your space and breathe easier,” Galloway said. “When you can nd your favorite sweater in under 10 seconds. When your kitchen counter isn’t a dumping ground for mail and mystery items. And, most importantly, when you don’t immediately start adding things back to your to-do list because for once, it’s already handled. And if you can actually park in your garage again? at’s a big win.”

PROJECTS
Beierle said improving drainage along these sections of Lena Gulch is crucial to protect the people and property along West Colfax Avenue, remarking how it’s a “potentially scary place for a ood.”
Across Golden, there are typically properties in a 100- or 500-year ood plain; but along Lena Gulch, there are properties in the oodway right now, which she said is unusual.
us, if there’s any major ooding along Lena Gulch before this project is completed, the homes and businesses in the oodway could be seriously impacted, she explained.
Vargo con rmed Golden sent the paperwork necessary for the PROTECT Grant to the Federal Highway Administration — which is responsible for executing the grant — last year. It tried to push the application through and execute an intergovernmental agreement before the change in presidential administrations, but the application was delayed, he said.
As of April 8, the FHWA still hadn’t executed an IGA with Golden; and, according to Beierle, it isn’t the only Colorado municipality that’s waiting.
e Transcript emailed the FHWA about Golden’s situation. As of April 8, personnel con rmed receipt of the email and said they would nd out more information.
Golden has been in touch with its Congressional representatives about the issue, and both U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen said at a March 19 town hall meeting that they were aware of the delay. ey said their o ces were working to ensure Golden and other communities receive these already-approved funds.
Without the PROTECT Grant funds inhand, Vargo and Beierle said Lena Gulch’s Phases II and III are on hold inde nitely. “It’s a mystery,” Beierle said. “We haven’t been told that we won’t get (the grant funding).”
In the interim, Golden’s moving forward with Lena Gulch’s Phase IV, which will prepare the former Bachman property for future drainage work and has separate funding, Beierle said. e work includes doing a historical evaluation of the site and possibly an archaeological
project. Pettersen delivered a ceremonial check for the project’s fourth phase, which will prepare the former Bachman property for drainage work.
excavation next year, she added. Depending on if or when Golden does get the PROTECT Grant funds, Beierle said work on Phases II, III and IV could be simultaneous.
The new municipal center
Another ripple e ect the City of Golden has experienced is the Trump administration’s tari s impacting the cost of construction materials.
Vargo said the biggest example thus far was the mass-timber costs for the forthcoming municipal center and police headquarters.
e city is set to break ground on the $60 million building at 311 10th St. sometime this spring or early summer. Vargo said preliminary site work is slated for this month, while the city and its consultants nalize design elements and costs.
Before the Trump administration announced tari s against Canada this winter, Vargo said the city’s lowest bid for timber was from a Canadian company. Afterward, the company bumped up its prices so that it was no longer the lowest bid. us, Golden switched its mass-timber vendor to an American company, which
Vargo said was the new lowest bid, and the city’s now locking in its pricing. e di erence in price between the
pre-tari Canadian vendor and post-tari American vendor was about $100,000, Vargo said.
While he remarked that “every dollar counts” and that Golden must be good stewards of its funds, Vargo con rmed the city has built-in contingencies for a project this size and scale. us, the $100,000 di erence “isn’t enough to negatively impact our project overall,” he said.
Golden has additional contingencies built into the project for escalation and other economic factors, he added, but this tari -timber situation was “one instance where we have to use that contingency.”
Vargo con rmed via email April 8 that the mass-timber vendor was “the only signi cant part of the (municipal center’s) building construction/supplies that is being locked-in at this time.”
Impacts for 2025, budgeting for 2026
As for other materials and other projects that might be impacted by the tari s and the uctuating markets, Vargo stated Golden was trying to anticipate where it might see challenges, and remain “ exible and adaptable as those changes come our way.”
For those who want to stay up-to-date on other potential impacts, Vargo said sta will be updating the Citizens Budget
HERITAGE ROAD AT COLFAX AVENUE TO REOPEN THIS MONTH
Motorists who have had to navigate the weird detours along West Colfax Avenue, Heritage Road and Zeta Street this winter will be returning to their usual routes soon. Heritage Road at Colfax Avenue/U.S. Highway 40 is set to reopen at the end of April, according to Golden Public Works Director Anne Beierle.
The city was replacing a culvert underneath Heritage Road, which was supposed to be closed for three months during the work. However, Beierle said there were delays related to the weather and a water-main break.
Motorists should follow the detours as directed until the road is fully reopened. Heritage Road between the Apex Park trailhead parking lot and Colfax Avenue has been closed since January.
In that time, motorists have had to detour along Zeta Street, leading to congestion at Zeta and Colfax. Along with nearby residents and other motorists passing through the area, it has created longer travel times for school buses and Golden Fire Department trucks leaving Station No. 24 along Heritage Road.
The City of Golden was planning to start additional culvert replacement projects along other sections of Colfax Avenue later this year, however that work is on hold due to delays with federal funding
Advisory Committee and City Council on any signi cant developments.
Vargo reiterated that no city projects or programs have been canceled, but if there are any signi cant delays or cancellations, Golden will share that through its “standard channels,” including social media, he said.
Because most city projects are funded internally, Vargo said most 2025 items should be completed on time and on budget. For those that receive federal or outside funding, he said, “We’re continuing to push those forward where we can. … at’s all we can do right now.” e city will start its 2026 budgeting process in June.
Vargo said there could be major nancial impacts in 2026 and/or 2027, as grantfunding sources award less money and/or the city feels other economic pressures.
“We’re trying to be optimistic wherever we can be,” he said, “but it’s so full of uncertainty.”

Future Mines football stars expected to shine at April 19 spring game
Coach Stitt: ‘There’s not a better group of college players than right out here’
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Flowers are blooming, birds are twittering, and there’s a trademark warmth in the air that can only mean one thing: It’s football season.
At least it is at Colorado School of Mines.
e Orediggers kicked o their spring season March 8 with practices three times a week. ey’ll be wrapping up April 19 with their annual spring game.
e free event, which drew about 400 fans last year, is an intrasquad scrimmage between the o ense and defense. It features a special scoring system for rst downs, turnovers and other achievements on both sides of the ball. e offense won 48-33 last year, while the defense won 53-24 in spring 2023.
Coach Bob Stitt, who coached the Orediggers from 2000-2014 and returned as their head coach Feb. 11, said the spring season has gone well with long and intense practices.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever had a spring where our kids have practiced harder than this group,” Stitt said.
e April 8 practice was particularly impressive, Stitt described, saying the offense had a great scrimmage. e April 10 practice wasn’t as good by comparison, he said, but added how he loved the

intensity the defense brought.
“Now, when Saturday comes, we’ve got to bring it on both sides,” he continued. April 19 should be the perfect proving ground for this fall’s team, as the annual spring game is typically when Mines stars rst begin to shine. Current Mines playmakers like wide receiver Flynn Schiele and outside linebacker JJ Lee had strong
performances at previous spring games. And that is exactly what Stitt is hoping to see.
“It’s easy when you call plays and they’re just scripted. But when it’s thirdand-seven, who’s going to make the throw, the block, the run, the catch, the tackle?” he asked. “ … at’s what we’re evaluating: ‘When it really matters, who
can come through for us?’”
Mines, which ended its 2024 season 8-3 overall and wasn’t selected for the NCAA tournament, is in a unique position regarding its roster.
e team has lost dozens of veteran playmakers over the last three seasons, including sixth-year players who used their extra year of eligibility from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, nearly all the Orediggers who were in the program in 2020 are gone, along with all their experience.
While that’s the case for most college football programs, what’s unique for the Orediggers is how the players who were underclassmen on the 2022 and 2023 NCAA Division II runner-up teams are now leading the team.
Stitt explained how, since he was hired in February, he’s been meeting with those upperclassmen to build rapport with each of them. He has been encouraging opportunities for the players to build rapport with each other and reinforce Mines’ unique football culture, he described.
Overall, Stitt said, Mines and its players are special, and he didn’t fully appreciate that until after he’d left for a Division I coaching job. So, he reveled in the chance to be back with “a rst-class sta ” and a very talented group of student-athletes. “ ere’s not a better group of college players than right out here,” he said, pointing to the Orediggers as they wrapped up their April 10 practice. e spring game kicks o at 9:20 a.m. April 19 at Marv Kay Stadium. e event is free and open to the public.

Golden baseball stock, expectations still high
A 13-run bottom of the fourth inning was able to mask a few physical and mental errors on the baseball diamond for Golden on Wednesday.
e Demons were in a relatively close game with omas Je erson at Golden High School. e Spartans got an RBI double by Max Feierstein in the top of the fourth inning to cut the Demons’ lead to 5-3.
“ ere was a little frustration,” Golden senior Luca Casali said of the tight nonleague game. “We expect ourselves to be beating a team like that a lot better than we did. You could see that frustration on the eld. We all knew we had more in us. We nally got it going.”
Golden preceded to get it going, scoring 13 runs on eight hits, three walks and a pair of TJ errors in the bottom of the fourth inning to grab an 18-3 victory. e game ended with junior Brody McBroom blasting a two-run walk-o home run to induce the 15-run mercy rule through four innings.
“It was good to see,” Golden Coach Jackie McBroom said of the largest scoring output of any single inning for the Demons (8-3 record) so far this season. “I
just want to see them be a little more consistent. I think we’ll be good o ensively. We’ve had some moments and ashes in the pan of what we can do. It will be more
consistent as we move forward.” TJ (2-8) held a 2-0 early after a two-run home run o Golden starting pitcher Taden Svendsen in the top of the rst in-
ning. Casali, who went 3-for-3 with four RBIs, ripped an RBI single in the bottom of the rst inning to score senior Andrew Romero.
Golden put up a four-run bottom of the second inning that was started with a leado double by senior Jaydon Stroup. Sophomores Caycen Mead, Dylan Paulson and Casali all knocked in runs in the second inning as the Demons took a 5-2 lead.
“I thought everyone had good approaches. I thought we were all seeing the ball really well,” Stroup said of the 13-run fourth inning. “We were able to work deep into their bullpen. I think that was their third (pitcher). It was good to take advantage of that a little bit.”
Golden sent 14 batters to the plate in the nal inning. e rst nine batters reached base as the Demons wrapped up their third straight victory. Svendsen picked up the win on the hill with the lefty striking out seven in the complete-game victory. e Demons did commit three errors in the eld and had a couple of base-running mistakes.
“We are looking to nd consistency in a lot of what we are doing,” Casali said. “We want to see the consistency with the intensity in the dugout, the hitting, the pitching and the elding.”

Je co students carve their path with winning snowboard designs
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When CJ Walter, a senior in Je co’s graphic design program at Warren Tech, stepped on stage and saw their design, “Beyond the Horizon,” printed on a fullsize snowboard for the rst time, they couldn’t stop smiling.
“I’m so incredibly proud of everything I’ve accomplished with it,” Walter said. Walter’s board was among 10 selected in the annual snowboard design contest hosted by Warren Tech Central and Denver-based Never Summer Industries. Now in its 12th year, the contest invites students to create original snowboard graphics for a semester-long design challenge.
e winning designs are printed on snowboards produced by Never Summer and awarded to students during a spring ceremony.
e contest began in 2013 after Pete Cunis, one of Warren Tech’s graphic design instructors, brought a group of students to tour Never Summer’s factory. During the visit, he reconnected with former colleague Vince Sanders, Never Summer’s chairman, and proposed an idea that quickly became one of the school’s most celebrated collaborations.
“We had this moment where we thought, what if we gave students the opportunity to design a real snowboard?”
Cunis said. “And Never Summer was totally on board.”
From sketches to snowboards
Since then, the partnership has grown into a comprehensive, year-long design project that begins each fall with a classroom visit from Never Summer sta .
Students learn what the company looks for in board graphics, from mood boards to production specs, and begin

sketching concepts as early as October. In November, they visit the Denver factory to see rsthand how snowboards are made, gaining insight into the materials, printing techniques and technical requirements that inform their nal designs.
Students then spend months re ning their artwork, incorporating feedback from instructors and peers. In February, the top 20 nalists present their designs in person to Never Summer’s creative team, explaining their inspiration and how their artwork connects to the company’s brand.
From those 20 students, 10 winners are chosen and announced at a schoolwide ceremony in April, where each receives a full-size snowboard featuring their design.
“ is is more than a class project. is is industry-level work,” said Scot Odendahl, who co-teaches the program with Cunis. “From pitching their concept to receiving design feedback to making their les print-ready, students experience the full creative process.”
Career preparation through creativity
At this year’s ceremony, industry guests and district leaders, including Superintendent Tracy Dorland, praised the partnership as a model for career and technical education.
“ is is what it looks like when education and industry come together to create meaningful opportunities for students,” Dorland said. “It’s one of the most inspiring events of the year.”
Warren Tech’s graphic design program doesn’t stop at snowboard graphics. Students graduate with Adobe certi cations, professional portfolios and experience working with real clients.
According to Odendahl, one of the program’s key strengths is simulating the
pressures and expectations of a creative workplace.
“We structure our projects to re ect real-world scenarios, where deadlines, presentation and revisions matter,” he said. “It’s not just about making something cool; it’s about communicating an idea e ectively to a client.”
ey create everything from book fair illustrations for Scholastic to signage for local businesses, often working directly with stakeholders to gather input and present their work.
Cunis said students leave the program with practical skills they can take into the workforce or college.
“By the time they leave here, they’ve gone through critiques, client meetings and public showcases,” Cunis said. “ at’s a huge con dence boost and a real resume-builder.”
Students also participate in mock interviews and industry showcases, preparing them for college and careers. Odendhal said many graduates go on to work in design, attend art schools or start freelance businesses.
While the snowboard contest is just one project in a larger curriculum, it remains a favorite for its creative freedom, tangible outcome and industry connection.
“Some of our students have said this was the highlight of their high school experience,” Odendahl said. “And honestly, it is for us too.”
Designs that tell a story is year’s winning designs included dreamy landscapes, cyberpunk cities, hand-carved linoleum prints and
personal tributes to nature, childhood memories and emotional storytelling.
Students stood before their peers, teachers and families as they received their custom boards, many describing the hundreds of hours spent drawing, revising and preparing their nal presentations.
Adam Kerwin, whose board “Astro Tune” was selected as the factory favorite, told the crowd he had fun letting his imagination run wild.
“Ninety percent of it was, what can I do for the fun of it? Whatever popped into my head, whatever spilled out, I threw onto the board and colored it with whatever color seemed necessary,” Kerwin said. “I had so much fun. ank you guys.”
Kyra White, who won the popular vote with her design “Dark Room Bloom,” explained that the concept drew from years of experience in analog photography.
“My board is based o of darkroom photography I have been in for years and years... it’s de nitely something that I hold close to my heart,” White said. “It is another to see it come to life and know that people believed in it.”
Cunis and Odendahl emphasized that the project teaches students not just how to make good art but how to meet deadlines, accept criticism and design for a client’s needs. It also shows students that their creativity has value beyond the classroom.
“It’s a really unique opportunity,” said Cunis. “You get to see your work go from an idea to something you can hold in your hands.”

PROJECTS
Where will the money come from?
e city would pay for its stake in the projects by shu ing around its budget. It would free up money in its capital budget by changing the funding source for other projects. ose other projects would instead be funded by interest the city has accrued on money it borrowed as part of the Elevate Denver bond package.
e Denver City Council would have to approve the spending and also would have to approve a rezoning of the land. e city also has promised a community outreach process.
City Council will vote on a conditional funding approval, but funds will not be dispersed until after the community process, the council vote on the rezoning and an additional budget appropriation ordinance. at process is expected to take the rest of the year.
Team ownership will present the proposal to Denver City Council’s South Platte River Committee on Wednesday afternoon. e team is expected to emphasize the economic impact of building a mixed-use development in the Baker neighborhood, pointing to similar examples both within the city and at other NWSL stadiums across the nation.
e city also will consider whether taxincrement nancing could cover some of the $20 million of surrounding improvements. TIF allows the city to redirect some of the increased tax revenue from new development to pay for improvements in an area.
Another major investment for the NWSL team Denver’s $70 million commitment is
just a portion of the hefty nancing being planned to help bring professional women’s soccer to Denver.
To secure the NWSL team’s existence, team owners shelled out a record-breaking $110 million franchise fee, according to the city presentation. e owners also may need to come up with tens of millions to build the stadium itself.
e team also has partnered with the Cherry Creek School District and the city of Centennial to build its permanent headquarters, training grounds and a temporary stadium. e cost of that project is expected to be north of $35 million, with the team contributing more than a third. e temporary stadium could revert to the school district once the team moves to its permanent home in Denver. e rst purpose-built stadium for NWSL opened in Kansas City last year, ac-
cording to the city presentation.
Council members questioned team ownership
After hearing the team’s presentation, several council members expressed concern about the use of taxpayer dollars.
Many pointed to the instability of thenancial market, which has seen ups and downs as President Donald Trump has rolled out his highly controversial tari plans. While the president has paused some tari s for 90 days, the likelihood of a trade war is still relatively high.
At-large councilmember Sarah Parady said the money could be better used for essential city services.
“We’re going to need those things for a wave of homelessness. We’re going to need those things for hunger,” she said.
Parady also said she’s worried a nan-
cial downturn would leave team ownership unable to complete the stadium’s construction.
District 6 Councilmember Paul Kashmann likened the situation to an optimistic period of growth prior to the 2008 nancial crisis.
“Before 2008 hit, there were going to be thousands of housing units, hundreds of thousands of square feet of commercial.,” Kashmann said.
Kashmann and others asked if the city should instead pursue a ballot initiative that would temporarily raise the sales tax to fund the city’s commitment to the soccer stadium.
Rob Cohen, the primary owner of the NWSL team, said he has not explored options to bring in organizations like the Gates Foundation or the Anschutz Family Foundation to help ease the cost.
Flor Alvidrez, who represents the district the stadium will be built in, said she disagreed with pushback from other council members, arguing District 7 needs investment in public space.
“ is is, to me, a small investment in an area that has historic redlining right there, that has a lack of public spaces,” she said.
Councilmember Amanda Sawyer had another concern: “I will just say, for $70 million, ‘Denver’ had better be in the name of this team,” she said.
Cohen attempted to assuage concerns about the stadium’s cost by reminding the council that part of the bid to secure the team included a promise that a stadium would be built. In other words, if the stadium isn’t built, the NWSL will take the team away from the city.

ey anticipated giving closing remarks and starting jury deliberations on or around May 7, with the hope that the jury would be back with a verdict by May 9. However, as Carrithers explained, it’s hard to tell how long jury deliberations could take for any given case.
e parties said they wanted to have a larger pool of jurors than the 80 they had last time, but Carrithers said this trial will be competing with others for jurors on April 28. But said he he hopes they could have at least 80 again, and recommended the prosecution and defense be “a little more discerning” about releasing jurors with scheduling con icts.
e parties remarked how, in November, some potential jurors had out-of-state travel planned for Veterans Day weekend or other items. ey hoped to avoid that this time, with Carrithers noting that they pushed the trial to late April to avoid possible spring-break con icts in March.
“We never know,” Carrithers said of scheduling trials and picking jurors.
“ at’s the reality. … Let’s be thoughtful of (potential jurors’) con icts, but at the same time, we have to pick a fair jury.”
History of the case
During Harris’ preliminary hearing in August 2023, Je co Sheri ’s O ce investigators testi ed how, on the night of March 25, 2023, Hire’s RV was parked outside the Golden hotel where Harris and his girlfriend were staying. Harris and Hire were in the RV, and Harris reportedly didn’t come back to the hotel room that night and didn’t answer his phone. e next morning, the RV was gone and Harris wouldn’t tell his girlfriend where he’d been, the investigators said.
Harris’ girlfriend later told investigators how, before Hire’s death, she’d overheard Harris and another friend talk about having access to Hire’s money and how they were going to “rip him o .”
According to the Sheri ’s O ce, cell phone data showed both Harris and Hire’s phones were at the Wooly Mammoth lot between 3-3:30 p.m. March 26, 2023.

After Hire’s body was found inside the
RV on April 14, 2023, JCSO investigators examined the items Harris had when he was arrested and found a jacket with Hire’s blood on it. Harris also had Hire’s cell phone and keys to storage containers inside Hire’s RV.
Investigators also reviewed messages Harris sent and received while he was in jail, where he reportedly coordinated with friends to hide evidence, such as the RV itself and his girlfriend’s Jeep.
In searching the Jeep, investigators found a .22-caliber revolver that’s believed to be the murder weapon. It had a single red shot in it, which matched the bullet fragments found in Hire’s body. e revolver also had Hire and Harris’ DNA on it, investigators stated.

JCSO investigators con rmed there was no visible blood spatter, and all the tested surfaces were negative for blood. ere also wasn’t anything to indicate a gun had been red in the RV, or that the RV had been cleaned, the defense argued.
