HAVING A BALL

Kayakers compete in newly formatted downriver race P2

Golden targets amplified music downtown

Public hearing scheduled for July 22 council meeting

BY CORINNE WATERMAN

CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

Downtown Golden may soon be a little quieter, as city o cials are considering an ordinance that would restrict amplied music.

e draft ordinance would only apply to public right of way, such as streets, sidewalks and alleyways, within the Downtown Development Authority boundaries.

It wouldn’t a ect special events or private properties, including commercial businesses that host outdoor musical performances.

Acoustic music would still be allowed.

fy music, including singing, Golden sta members have clari ed.

e City Council has scheduled an ordinance second reading and public hearing about the issue at its July 22 meeting. Anyone wishing to submit written or verbal comments may do so at that time.

If passed at the July 22 meeting, city sta said the ordinance would take e ect on or around July 30.

“ is is not about banning street musicians,” City Councilor Patty Evans said at a June 10 work session. “ … ey have some really great talent; it just needs to be quieter.”

In city documents and meetings, City Manager Scott Vargo and Police Chief Joe Harvey have described how the city’s current ordinance can be di cult to enforce, as outdoor music is required to be 65 decibels or less.

City employees are trained to use measurement devices, but wind, crowd noise and tra c can interfere with the readings.

Colorado considers challenging ‘energy emergency’

January declaration invoked by BLM to fasttrack rain facility expansion

BY DAVID O. WILLIAMS COLORADO NEWSLINE

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s o ce will consider joining a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s declaration in January of a national energy emergency, he told Newsline in an exclusive interview. e Trump administration’s Bureau of Land Management invoked the emergency declaration to complete accelerated environmental review of a permit to expand a loading facility near Price, Utah for oil coming out of the nearby Uinta Basin. e expansion could increase oil capacity on the main rail line through Colorado by up to 80,000 barrels a day.

It’s anticipated that the expansion of what’s known as the Wildcat Loadout facility — located on publicly owned federal lands — and other nearby facilities will allow the trucking and transfer to rail of up to 75% of the oil proposed for transport in the Uinta Basin Railway project. Eagle County and state o cials have long opposed increased oil trains along the Colorado River.

In a June 27 letter to Jerry Davis, acting Utah state director for the BLM, Weiser wrote that an expedited environmental assessment for the proposed Wildcat right-of-way expansion would be a “violation of applicable laws and regulations” that would block proper public input and “subject Colorado communities to signi cant economic, environmental, and health and safety risks.”

Megaphones would also be allowed as long as they weren’t being used to ampli-

‘The amplification has gotten out of control’ Evans and other councilors said they’ve received numerous complaints about street musicians — sometimes called buskers — playing so loudly that downtown employees can’t hear their customers if the business’ doors are open.

However, Vargo and Harvey said the bigger problems is that, when a city employee contacts someone using an ampli cation device and asks them to turn it, they will only do so temporarily — until the city employee has left the immediate area. us, the problems persist.

“It’s not that we don’t try to enforce existing regulations,” Vargo said at the June 10 work session. “It’s just a much more di cult enforcement technique that we have to go through.”

Weiser argued there is no national energy emergency given the United States produced more oil last year than any nation in history, and he urged the BLM to follow standard, legally required procedures in reviewing the project. An attorney for Eagle County and an environmental group that successfully sued the federal government to delay the rail project, also sent letters.

However, the BLM issued its approval, nding “no signi cant impact” related to the expansion, which Colorado opposes due to increased derailment, wild re and oil-spill risks, and

Golden agrees to buy DeLong Park sidewalk

Design company is giving the city $80,000 to buy

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

Since Golden’s DeLong Park opened in June 2022, people have pushed their strollers, walked their dogs and jogged with friends along the park’s sidewalks.

But, unbeknownst to many of them, one of those sidewalks was mistakenly built in a neighboring yard. And now, three years later, the City of Golden and the construction company are xing it.

e Golden City Council approved buying about 2,700 square feet of land at 400 24th St. at its July 8 meeting. at’s where the sidewalk was built and the city will use money from design company IMEG, LLC to do so, city sta con rmed.

e Pallagi family, the current property owners, will receive $80,000 for the sidewalk-impacted land and $7,000 for fence installation.

e parties will close on the land purchase later this summer.

‘We don’t know why it happened’ In 2017, the City of Golden bought a 1-acre residential property o 23rd Street from the DeLong family. e long-term plan was to turn it into a park.

e project was in the planning, design and construction process for about ve years, ac-

cording to previous Transcript coverage, and about 80 city ocials and residents hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for it on June 7, 2022.

Assistant to the City Manager Steve Glueck con rmed how DeLong Park was designed in 2019, which included a completed property survey. e design included using city right of way for Vernon Street — which had never been built out as a street — to put a sidewalk between 23rd and 24th streets, Glueck explained.

“In the preparation of nal construction plans, the sidewalk connection was erroneously shifted down the hill to a location closer to the corridor for the abandoned Welch Ditch,” he stated in a council memo. “ e connection was subsequently constructed in that location, encroaching on and e ectively cutting o part of the property at 400 24th Street.”

Joseph David Pallagi and his family have owned 400 24th St. since 1988. Pallagi reportedly tried to tell project representatives about the encroachment during construction in 2021, and again in fall 2024, according to Glueck’s memo.

After the July 8 meeting, Glueck said it’s unclear exactly whom Pallagi tried to tell, whether it was city employees or elected ofcials, or someone from the construction company. Pallagi then had health problems and didn’t pursue it further, until he ran into a Golden Public Works employee last fall.

When playing sports outdoors, there can be some interference from the elements — the wind, rain or snow.

But it is unusual to navigate the ball around a mine eld of tubers, swimmers and other kayakers.

Still, six teams of kayakers managed it July 10, as the Colorado Whitewater Association hosted its annual downriver race – but with a new format.

Rather than a strict individual sprint down the creek, as in previous years, this year’s was a ball race.

Between heats, the kayakers were strategizing ways to improve but ultimately said they were having a lot of fun.

At that time, he brought the issue up again, and the city looked into it. Glueck said that once the mistake was veri ed, the city sought a resolution with the Pallagi family and IMEG.

After several weeks of meetings and negotiations and after agreeing it would be too di cult to move the sidewalk, all three parties found a resolution, Glueck said.

Now that the City Council has approved it, the parties plan to close on the land transaction in late July or early August, Glueck said.

Glueck wrote to City Council that IMEG, which did the park’s nal construction plans, believed there was likely a miscommunication among the park design team. However, “account-

Some types of kayaks wouldn’t be practical for this type of event, she said, because it would likely involve hitting rocks and other boats. So, plastic kayaks were better, since they can take the hits better.

Kloor said she’s done a few minor races before, but had never done a team event. Daw, meanwhile, said he’d never competed in any kayaking event before, but was eager to try.

‘Golden Real Estate’ Is Now ‘Century 21 Golden Real Estate’ — What It Means to You (and Me)

Notice the logo at the bottom right corner of this ad. It’s unchanged except for the addition of the “CENTURY 21®” branding. Last week, I finalized an “asset purchase agreement” with the owner of several other Century 21 franchise branches in Colorado, headquartered at Century 21 Elevated Real Estate in Grand Junction.

They also purchased the Century 21 branch across the street from us in downtown Golden, and will be closing that office, inviting its agents to affiliate with our office.

quickly attracted some broker associates, which made the enterprise more viable.

my continuation of this column by contacting me if you’d like to buy or list a home. If I can’t serve you myself, I’ll refer you to the

broker associate who I believe will serve you with the same professionalism as I would. Thanks for your support!

This is a big change for me, of course. I started Golden Real Estate, Inc., the same month that Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in 2007.

At the time, I had been a RE/MAX Alliance broker associate for four years. I was purchasing a building on South Golden Road (currently the Golden Outpost), and RE/MAX wouldn’t allow it to be a RE/MAX office, because there were already three franchise offices (including my own) within a few miles. My solution was to start a new brokerage, which I was able to do, having attained licensure as an “employing broker” the year before. My vision had been to create a new RE/MAX franchise with the name “RE/MAX Sustainable Living.”

A big reason (for me) to purchase that building was its frontage on South Golden Road, where I could park the box truck which I was providing free to buyers and sellers. At the RE/MAX office, the truck was parked out of sight behind their office building. On South Golden Road it would stand as a billboard promoting me.

So, Golden Real Estate, Inc. was born, and I

I followed through on my sustainability values by adding 5kW of rooftop solar panels and, later on, another 15kW of ground-mounted solar panels to power not only the office and its heat pump HVAC system, but also my electric vehicles, those of my broker associates, and even those of the general public. It was a good life. Toward the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, a storefront became available next to the Ace Hi Tavern, and I moved Golden Real Estate into it, renting out the building on South Golden Road, but continuing to park our box truck there. Finally, I sold the building to Joe & Stacy Fowler of the Golden Hayride, who have done an amazing job of converting it into a venue called the Golden Outpost. I’m so impressed with their improvement of the site.

So what does this change to a Century 21 branch mean to you, my readers and clients? Not much, really. All our broker associates have signed on with the new owners, and I’m committing to staying as managing broker for another 12 months, after which I may stay or choose to retire. Since I’ll be 78 years old, probably the latter.

One difference you’ll notice is that this advertising becomes my sole expense, not the company’s, so I’ll continue it as long as it brings me clients. I will continue to promote our broker associates’ listings, as you see below with Greg Kraft’s new listing in Belmar, and get a small referral fee from them when I refer a reader who contacts me about listing or buying a home. In other words, please support

What’s In and What’s Out With Kitchen Improvements

The National Kitchen & Bath Association recently published a report on the changes in kitchen design. Fortunately, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) summarized the report, which would cost you $2,995 to purchase. Here are some of what was written. (Find a link to the full NAR article at http:// RealEstateToday.substack.com.)

“Kitchens in 2025 are becoming about self -expression, combined with playful sophistication. As such, the colors and materials homeowners choose are becoming important—and they’re moving beyond just white,” says the NAR article.

“Color is leading the charge. Seventy-one percent of design respondents say their clients prefer colorful kitchens that reflect personali-

ty. Whether subtly or boldly, color is entering the kitchen, with pops of color being brought in through backsplashes, kitchen islands, wallpapers and even accent walls,” says the article.

The top trending kitchen colors? Green, blue, and brown — in that order. All-white and all-gray kitchens are giving way to earth tones.

Funding freeze threatens Je co student services

Superintendent warns of impact from frozen federal education grants

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SUZIE@COTLN.ORG

ousands of Je co students could lose access to language support, counseling and community-based services this school year after the U.S. Department of Education froze key federal funding streams with little warning.  e decision puts approximately $3 million in planned programming at risk, district leaders said.

Superintendent Tracy Dorland and the Je erson County school board called the move “late and unexpected,” warning that the district had already budgeted the funds for professional development, English learner support, student engagement and family outreach.

“Failure to release these funds creates signi cant impacts on our student programming at a time when Je co is already drawing on reserves and preparing for substantial reductions in FY 27,” a district spokesperson said.

Because of federal supplanting rules, the district is legally barred from using its general fund to ll the gap, even if the federal funding is restored later.

A district already under strain

Even before the freeze, the district was grappling with a $60 million structural de cit heading into the 2025–26 school year. Despite closing 21 schools and

making $20 million in cuts since 2021, the district still faces mounting cost pressures tied to in ation, compensation increases and growing special education needs.

Enrollment declines are expected to further impact funding, with a projected loss of 800 students per year in both 2026–27 and 2027–28. Because Colorado ties K–12 funding to student count, that drop will lead to additional revenue loss and potential sta ng reductions.

Colorado ranks 43rd in the nation for per-pupil education funding, a reality that leaves districts like Je co especially vulnerable to sudden shifts in federal support.

Core student supports now at risk e programs impacted by the freeze are central to Je co’s e orts to support its diverse and increasingly high-needs student population.

In an internal message to sta obtained by the Colorado Trust for Local News, Dorland said the now-frozen funding had been budgeted to cover educator coaching, English as a Second Language and newcomer services, dropout prevention, truancy interventions and community outreach programs.

Dorland called the situation “deeply challenging,” noting in the email that the frozen funds had been budgeted for “essential student services and educator support.”

“If the funds are not released in the next month, we will be forced to reduce or eliminate some programming that was budgeted and planned for this year,” she said.

Je co currently serves more than 4,700 English learners, about 6.4% of its total

Mount Evans brings

enrollment, according to data from the Colorado Department of Education.

Dorland noted that the district is seeing an increase in newcomer students, many of whom face language barriers and require both academic and emotional support to thrive.

e Title III funds now frozen are intended to help districts meet those needs.

Title I funding, which is used to support schools with high poverty rates, is not affected by the freeze.

But the complementary services funded through Titles II, III, and IV are now in jeopardy, which undermines Je co’s capacity to provide wraparound supports that help keep students in school and engaged.

“We are also seeking community part-

ners to help ll critical service gaps, especially for the students and families who rely most on these important services,” Dorland said.

Advocacy and uncertainty

In her message to sta , Dorland described the funding freeze as “a deeply challenging situation that we did not create and cannot fully control,” but said Jeffco was taking action on multiple fronts. e district is actively advocating for the immediate release of the funds.

Dorland and the board of education added their names to the Joint Statement From Colorado Education Stakeholders on Withholding of Federal Funds, calling on the U.S. Department of Education to immediately release these congressionally appropriated funds and provide clear, public guidance to state and local education systems.

At the same time, district leaders are reviewing 2025 carryover funds and evaluating the feasibility of continuing some programs temporarily.

Sta ng decisions will follow established collective bargaining agreements, with impacted employees prioritized for reassignment wherever possible.

“Above all, we remain focused on protecting the student experience and minimizing disruption wherever possible,” Dorland said.

With the school year weeks away and no clear federal guidance, Je co faces tough choices, district leaders said. ey are urging families and community partners to stay informed and, where possible, help advocate for the release of the frozen funds.

In Je co, federal funding cuts threaten programs that support English learners, student engagement, and family outreach. SHUTTERSTOCK

With speakers and the like restricted in downtown Golden, Vargo and Harvey believed this would be easier and more e cient to enforce versus the current 65-decibel noise limit.

People waiting to close on homes with no water in development

BY JANE REUTER

JANE@COTLN.ORG

As another 90-degree July day begins, a watering truck makes its way slowly around the Red Rocks Ranch neighborhood, a crew of three stopping to water each young tree.

e grass around the trees, owers and landscaping on nearby banks has long since browned and withered, and the crew’s only hope is to save the saplings, they said.

In the nearby park, a cherry red water slide, the centerpiece of a children’s splash pad and playground, is fenced o and silent, with no water to serve it.

And around the Denver metro area and beyond, a reported 30 prospective Red Rocks Ranch homeowners are living in hotels, Airbnbs and with family members, waiting to close on new homes that have no water taps to serve them.

Confused buyers, who say they are getting minimal information about the delay, are exchanging theories on a private Facebook page and pointing ngers in every direction — including at the Town of Morrison, the Mount Carbon Metro District and builder Lennar Homes.

“I’ve been continually told when I talk to Lennar that it’ll be another two weeks,” said Mary Ann Mcshan, who signed a contract to purchase a Red Rocks Ranch home in March. “ ey say the town of

Morrison is going to vote, and then they say, ‘Well, they didn’t approve it. It’ll be another two weeks.’”

Information is scarce

Red Rocks Ranch is not part of incorporated Morrison, but the small town of less than 400 residents is the source of water and wastewater for what will someday be a community more than four times its size. Mount Carbon agreed to build the town infrastructure required to meet the development’s needs, but hasn’t yet completed all that work or nished a required update to its intergovernmental agreement with Morrison.

Despite the information Mcshan says she was given, the town has not posted any recent agenda items on the IGA, or scheduled any special meetings on the issue. Morrison’s attorney is, however, meeting regularly with Mount Carbon’s legal counsel on the issue.

“I don’t understand why it’s so secretive,” Mcshan said. “ e homeowners are su ering and the parties involved don’t seem to care that much. ey’re not communicating with us, and homes are still being sold.

“I could probably get out of my contract but that’s not necessarily what I want. I love the home. I just want information.”

It’s the second time in less than a year that prospective Red Rocks Ranch homeowners have been left in limbo as the metro district continues negotiating for water with Morrison.

Holding firm

But this time, the town is holding rm — as it warned it would in 2024 — on completion of the IGA between it and

Mount Carbon, the agency charged with providing water and sewer to the unincorporated development.

“ e town is disappointed that future homeowners have been put into this situation yet again,” Morrison Town Manager Mallory Nassau wrote in a July 2 email.

“ e town has been working diligently with MCMD on a restated IGA … ere are currently signi cant infrastructure improvements that must be completed prior to the town issuing additional taps.” e issue is not new or unknown. As part of its obligations, Mount Carbon

paid to improve the town’s wastewater treatment plant and for the construction of a new water treatment plant.  But the water plant is fed by untreated water from Bear Creek, and while the current supply is enough for Morrison, it isn’t enough for the neighboring development. To tap into additional town water rights, Mount Carbon must pay to build a new diversion on Bear Creek west of the plant, along with a pump station and pipeline to transport the water.

e issue was made clear last fall when the town put the brakes on issuing more taps, saying it’s not obligated to do so until the 2008 IGA is rewritten — an e ort that’s been under way for years. It nevertheless held a special meeting in October 2024, granting the district’s request to convert two irrigation meters into 39 residential taps. at allowed 39 homeowners who had also been unable to close to move into the development.

One town trustee issued a warning to Mount Carbon and Lennar at the Oct. 9 special meeting.

“You don’t make promises about water if you don’t have the infrastructure to deliver it,” he said. “I will be pressing the other members of my board to vote ‘no’ for future water taps if we don’t have the infrastructure to deliver it.”

Wearing thin

But Mcshan said Lennar told her a different story.

“ e salesperson I worked with said there were ve remaining water meters, and if I went under contract that week, I’d get one of those,” she said. “I had the impression I’d be able to close by mid-May. I’ve since learned, it sounds like those ve meters were temporary, and used for testing.”

McShan, who sold a home in Denver and is living in her Winter Park condo as she waits to close, said the lack of information is wearing on her and the other prospective homeowners. She also said she and other homeowners are not being compensated for the cost of their temporary living quarters.

“I want to be informed, and to know I’m not making a mistake,” she said. “I feel as someone who’s about to spend a very large amount of money on a home,

WHITEWATER

Davidson and his fellow Boulderite Jonathan Russell, who competed as Team Tech Ballers, said they’d competed in other CWA events in Golden before but had never done a ball race.

e two said they go kayaking together regularly, with Davidson believing that their synergy would help them in the competition.

‘A great way to spend the summer’

Overall, Davidson and Russell said Golden’s Clear Creek Whitewater Park is one of their favorite kayaking spots. Davidson estimated that they visit it every other week in the summer.

the homeowners are not the ones who should be caught in the middle of this.”

While Sutton — the trustee who warned Red Rocks Ranch in public about the issuance of future water taps — recently left the board, the town remains committed to ensuring the IGA is in place before it agrees to issue more taps.

“ e original IGA dates back to 2008 and limits the issuance of taps based on MCMD completing infrastructure improvements,” wrote Nassau, adding those improvements include ensuring the “town’s water and wastewater systems would be adequately upgraded prior to serving end users.

“We are committed to providing water and sewer to Red Rocks Ranch, noting that this requires MCMD to meet their infrastructure obligations, so we may safely and reliably provide the service to all users.”

David O’Leary, an attorney for Mount Carbon, said in October 2024 that he believed the new IGA would be ready in about a month.

Nine months later, it remains un nished and unapproved.

And the conversation about its irrigation meters to residential taps has left Red Rocks Ranch with no water for its landscaping or splash pad.

Lennar’s Red Rocks Ranch website says it is “actively selling” and o ering “incredible deals.”

A representative of homebuilder Lennar Homes, who identi ed himself only as “Aaron,” could not explain why Lennar continues to sell homes despite its awareness of the ongoing water problems. He said only that they are “caught in the middle,” and hoping for a swift resolution.

None of the Mount Carbon Metro District’s board members returned requests for comment.

“I don’t know who’s at fault,” Mcshan said. “But I do wonder, what was the situation with the IGA? What did they know while contracts were being signed?”

Russell summarized the experience as: “We come for Clear Creek and stay for the Mexican food.”

e creek’s also a convenient location for Golden-area kayakers like Kloor and Daw.

Daw said he started learning kayaking about a year-and-a-half ago, and while he said it’s harder than it looks, he also didn’t want people to be intimidated by it the way he’d been.

e kayaking community is superwelcoming, he said. He can post on social media that he wants to go boating and ask if anyone would want to go with him for safety and fun, and people will go with him.

“It’s not as scary as it seems,” he said. Kloor, who’s been kayaking for three years and is a CWA member, said the

sport is “a great way to spend the summer,” as it o ers the same thrill as downhill skiing. She also encouraged others to try it.

White said the CWA is hosting other events in Idaho Springs and the Bailey area later this month.

Overall, the CWA hosts events across the state and throughout the year, to give kayakers a chance to meet even during the o -season. It also partners with Golden and other cities on their whitewater features, he said, and has been promoting whitewater access and conservation for 70-plus years.

Ok, so imagine that you are grocery shopping here in Golden, Colorado. Maybe you feel like a steak…Or two…or twenty.

Nowadays, you just jump in the car, drive a few minutes, park, walk halfway to the door of the store, then realize that you forgot to grab the shopping bags in the back seat, go back and retrieve them, then head in to the meat department. You pick out what you want, take it to the checkout lane, fumble around for your shopper’s card, then hope the app on your phone got all the coupons loaded and grumble to yourself about what a hassle everything is nowadays.

At least that’s what I do half the time I go to the store.

Now, imagine what the people who lived around here back in about 1850 had to do to accomplish the same task.

First, you had to gather up a few of your neighbors at the crack of dawn from their teepees. en you had to get a bunch of horses ready to travel, load up some supplies for an entire day, including water bags. en you’d take a look to the west and know you had to ride to the top of the biggest mountain you could see from your village.

n sports, halftime is more than a breather; it’s a recalibration.

It’s a chance for coaches and players to analyze what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change to win. Even with hours of prep and lm study, surprises happen. e opposing team may roll out a new strategy. Injuries change the game. Momentum swings. And regardless of the scoreboard, teams don’t coast. Even when they’re up by 20, great teams use halftime to regroup and refocus. Because one good half doesn’t win the game. So here we are, our own halftime. Six months into the year. e locker room of life. What’s our score? Are we winning, losing, or tied?

Some of us may be riding high, crushing goals, building relationships, and running on momentum. If that’s you, celebrate the wins, but don’t take your foot o the gas. What got you here may not get you through the next six months. Double down on what’s working and stay humble. Great teams don’t assume the second half will be just like the rst. Others might nd themselves breaking even. You’re in the game, but not ahead. Like a team tied at the half, you’ve got options: you can settle, or you can surge. e second half is wide open, and a clear shift in strategy, attitude, or energy could create that breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

And then there are those of us who feel like the rst half hit like a blitz. e losses weren’t just

trail you were following, you nally get to the top and remember why this was called something like Lookout Mountain in your language.

Down below, about ten or fteen miles out in the empty plains, were the steaks. Like 100,000 lbs. of them walking around in a giant herd. Bu alo.

Now that you know where they are, you and your friends have to ride back down, then cross the plains to where you spotted them, hunt some down, dress them, pack them onto some spare horses, ride back to your village and sort the whole load out with your neighbors once you get there.

Once you get home, your wife tells you that about an hour after you left, a whole herd of deer wandered into the area and your neighbor’s kids got some. So everyone already had dinner, and there are some leftovers in the pot over there.

Keep that in mind when that grocery store app starts demanding an update while you are in a huge store lled with food.

I imagine that was the situation when a 14-year-old kid, who would eventu-

is is where I want to o er real encouragement. I’ve seen too many people write o the rest of the year when the rst half goes sideways. ey call it a “lost season” and start counting down to January 1. at mindset will keep you down. As the saying goes, ghters don’t lose because they get knocked down. ey lose because they stay knocked down. It’s time to get back up.

Zig Ziglar said, “If we don’t like who we are, what we are, and where we are, we can change who we are, what we are, and where we are by changing what we put into our mind.” at’s not theory. at’s truth. Our mindset is the control center of our outcomes. And what we feed it matters: positivity, scripture, wise counsel, hope.

And if we’ve been brought to our knees in the rst half, maybe our second half starts right there, on our knees in prayer. Surrender doesn’t mean defeat. It means

In those early days, he was a junior driver for the Central Overland California & Pike’s Peak Express Company. I don’t know exactly what a junior driver did, but he must have enjoyed it because he ended up buried with his wife on the top of that same Lookout Mountain.

But for now, let’s just roll with everything everyone already knows about the guy and get ready to join in on Golden’s biggest event of the year, Bu alo Bill Days. To celebrate his legacy, we here in Golden have been hosting this event every summer for a few decades.

It happens in Parfet Park, on the corner of 10th St, and Washington Ave., starting on Friday, July 25 at 5 p.m. and runs through Sunday, July 27. It is an entire weekend with a multi-day arts & crafts festival featuring local bands and entertainment, kids’ activities and food vendors.  ere’s also a pancake breakfast early Saturday morning and an outdoor worship service on Sunday morning. e famous “Best of the West” Parade will be going up Washington Ave. on Saturday morning as well, right next to the

I’ve lived through my share of rough rst halves. Seasons where the light at the end of the tunnel seemed far o . But I’ve also lived to see how everything can change in a matter of months. If we choose to shift. If we choose to believe. If we choose to act.

Now is the time to regroup, recharge, and realign. Let’s make the adjustments. Let’s take the lessons from the rst half and apply them with re to the second.

Also, on their website is a link about all the parking options in the area, so you will want to check that out as well. It’s a little more complicated than it used to be.

Keep dreaming and moving forward

MWORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

y MS symptoms have been more acute this week. It is not that they are getting worse; it is just that things have been harder to do these past few days. Walking takes more energy than I would like, getting in and out of the car is more dicult, things like that. As I have navigated through this week, I have been thinking a lot about dreams and goals. I have wondered if I have set ridiculous or unattainable goals for myself. And gone as far as to grapple with the question, “Are dreams for the future a good thing, not particularly helpful but not a bad thing, or in some way detrimental to our view of reality?”

While mulling over these questions, I realized we all, at some point, struggle with this kind of question. So, I want to share a window into my thought process, hoping you will nd encouragement in the ideas I put forth.

For me, physically, I dream of completing a 5K. My rst choice would be to do it at a jog, but honestly, just being able to cover that distance, even if it were with the aid of a walking stick, would be very exciting.

is dream is why, when on a particularly bad day, I nd myself counter sur ng to just move around a room, I wonder if visions of a 5K help or hinder me?

After looking at it from many di erent sides, I have concluded that dreams and goals are not only good for me, but they are the best thing I can do. Dreams set standards for me beyond my immediate. ey give me something to work toward. More than that, they keep me from boxing myself in or limiting my world. My dreams keep me doing my exercises, and slowly, I am watching my strength return.

ere are dangers in dreams and goals. Dreams that come with inaction are little more than the equivalent of our mind’s behavior as a couch potato. We watch reels of what we can imagine, but never strive to reach that place. We can become complacent and satis ed simply by imagining a better world for ourselves, doing nothing to achieve that vision.

We the People: The soul of America

American culture has many virtues. Near the top is society’s languid, easy-going, unhurried pace. It borders on torpor. It’s uplifting to observe strangers smiling and o ering greetings when they pass and so many rolling with punches, not getting into ti s over trivial slights. And you can’t beat the civility, comity, and respect with which Americans treat each other, even those with whom they strongly disagree. But what warms the heart’s cockles most is the populace’s appreciation for good-natured ribbing, chuckle-causing humor, which can only be attributed to Americans being one big happy family.

OK, back to Earth. What was your reaction while reading that? Were you ba ed, scratching your head? Did you smile, catching the irony? Did it induce some other reaction, perhaps causing you to have an eye-popping, jaw-tightening, teeth-grinding sensation? Or was it between or a blend of light-heartedness and intensity?

American culture has an array of virtues, but, of course, none of those listed above. And therein lies our problem. We’re a frenetic people, which Merriam-Webster denes as “marked by fast and energetic, disordered, or anxiety-driven activity.”

My intention here isn’t to deliberate on American virtues but to ascertain why we’re not only a hurrying people but also why it’s a prime cause of our fragmentation. It comes down a four-letter word: T-I-M-E. We’ve been subjugated by it and blithely march in accordance with its directive.

Our language reinforces that. ink about why we call the time piece many wear on their wrist a “watch.” ink of verbs associated with time like spend or earn, gain or lose, use or waste. Each treats time as a commodity, an object, something tangible. at’s disconcerting enough, but there’s a more sinister aspect of time today: It’s been monetized. Time is money! And as the old maxim goes, waste not, want not. Except that time isn’t like other items you can waste then later replenish, assuming you’re a uent. Unlike other commodities, you can’t restock time. It keeps ticking no matter if you spend yours dawdling or working feverishly.

Ticking. ink of how that correlates to time. Ticking of a clock, although nowadays clocks rarely tick. ey used to beginning with the invention of the mechanized time piece. Before that, people referenced a sun dial, which worked, of course, only on sunny days. But before either of them, time as we know it didn’t exist. Nature ruled. Modern time isn’t just a commodity that can be measured, apportioned, or spent, however. We moderns have developed a psychological and emotional relationship with it. For example, it can drag on or y

by. Paradoxically though, they generally cause the opposite impact of what our behavior yearns for. Time drags when we’re bored, impatient, or in a hurry. It ies when we’re engaged in something meaningful like working on a craft, reading a book, or hiking a trail. Or watching the sun rise or set.

In her short book “Time,” Polish-born Eva Ho man dissects Americans’ relation to time. Having grown up under communist rule in post-WWII Eastern Europe, she has the advantage of perspective on a number of angles. ere, she says, time crawled, but here time is everything, particularly money. And they’re intricately interwoven.

In America, wealth as a barometer of standing—success—increasingly has noxious consequences at the personal level. Ho man posits the pressure for upward mobility with its accompanying characteristics including extreme competition and shame for not making it big with salaries, promotions, houses—the list goes on—is a serious stress inducer. Her point resonated with me because of a conversation I had with someone that’s etched in my memory. He said he was “driven” when it came to his lifestyle choices and career success.

“Really,” I replied. “Driven is passive voice, which means something must be driving you. What is it?” at exchange happened when he was in his thirties, but now in middle age, he’s happily questioning that.

But the problem with commoditizing time doesn’t reside solely at the personal level. It carries over to cultural, ethnic, and racial attitudes that foster stereotypical assumptions and assertions about di erent groups’ practices and work ethic. And those are injurious and can be lethal for a democratic society.

Ho man cites Romanian poet Carmen Firan, who likewise grew up in the gray communist world. Firan posits in America it’s sold everywhere and is even included in our throwaway parting line—Have a nice day—used to get a customer to hurry along.

“ e Soul,” Firan suggests, “is lying lonely somewhere on a shrink’s chair, in front a computer screen or in a cell phone.” She wrote that in 2008, which adds an ironic twist to the old saw that says the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Break Bread at Bell Projects

Bread often feels less like a food and more like an elemental fact of life. Practically every culture has their own form of bread and along with water, it’s treated as one of the basic elements of life.

All the meanings of bread are explored in the Bell Projects’, 2822 E. 17th Ave. in Denver, second e Bread Show, which is on display through Sunday, Aug. 3. e biennial exhibition features 25 artists working in a range of styles, from sculpture, painting, ber, and photography to collage, installation and mixed media, all exploring the power of the food.

“ ere’s something so simple about bread, but when you think about it, it has so much cultural and family signicance,” said Lindsey Bell, curatorial director at Bell Projects. “ e artists went really deep with the idea of bread — they just took it and ran with it.”

is year’s participating artists come from Denver and beyond and include Miguel Aguilar, Tramaine Gardner, Christy Pyle and Brandon Vargas. e show was originally launched in 2023 and nd artists re ecting on themes as diverse as “sustenance, family rituals, food politics, labor, nostalgia, and joy,” according to provided information.

“It’s wonderful to see so many di erent interpretations on display. e exhibit moves from more serious interpretations to fun puns and plays on words,” Bell said. “Bread can mean so many things, including money, so there’s a lot of creative freedom. e artists took a lot of care to create something meaningful.”

Bell added that some of the works on display get particularly powerful, tackling contemporary concerns like the pol-

COMING ATTRACTIONS

itics of consumption, communal rituals and the layered symbolism bread carries across cultures.

No matter what your personal feelings are about bread, the hope is visitors come away thinking di erently about the food and what it means to their lives.

“We hope that when people leave, they’re will be something new on their mind when they next interact with bread. It’s something so simple, but it’s also a universal connector that binds us all together,” Bell said. “ is is my favorite show we do and it’s a real treat to put on an exhibition like this.”

Wild Aware urges drivers to watch out, slow down

Stats show 180 wild animals died on Evergreen’s Highway 74 in four-year period

BY JANE REUTER JANE@COTLN.ORG

In four years, about 180 wild animals lost their lives on Highway 74 near Evergreen, among them 86 elk and 69 deer. And those only include the bodies reported between 2020 and 2024 by or to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

“It’s common that for every road kill animal, there are another one to ve not reported,” said Christie Greene, president of Wild Aware, a group dedicated to mitigating such collisions in the Evergreen area. “Because Evergreen Parkway is so visible, I would bet our ratio is more like one to one.”

Most of the area’s animals are struck by vehicles along the stretch of Highway 74 between Interstate 70 and Evergreen Lake. e numbers do not include livestock or pets.

Colorado State Patrol crash data, which is kept separately from the Colorado Department of Transportation’s data, recorded 646 wildlife-vehicle collisions on Je erson County roads between 20152019. at made Je co the county with

the second-highest number of wildlifevehicle collisions. It trails only Douglas County.

30 seconds of open highway

Colorado 74 is particularly tough for animals because of the high level of trafc and lack of wildlife crossings.

“We cannot have a wildlife overpass or underpass on Highway 74 because of land use and ownership,” Greene said. “ ere is no public land. ere’s county open space, Denver Mountain Parks and Je erson County open space. On either side of any of that are homes and businesses.”

Making it even tougher, an animal needs 30 seconds of open highway to safely cross.

“If the average daily tra c is 10,000 cars, it acts as a complete barrier for them,” Greene said. “ e average daily tra c at Lewis Ridge is 22,000 to 23,000 cars. at’s twice as many cars as is considered a physical barrier for an animal.”

Greene said early summer is the most potentially deadly time of year for area wildlife, and when drivers should be particularly attentive.

“June and July are tough up here because of calving season,” she said.

“You’ve got bands of elk cows and calves going back and forth across the road.”

Wild Aware recently partnered with the Colorado State Patrol for wildlife/ve-

hicle collision month. CSP has focused its social media on the message, ‘Give us a brake,’ which urges drivers not to honk at wildlife, but to instead ash your high beams, turn on your hazard lights and wait.

“Animals are unpredictable, so you don’t know what honking is going to make an animal do,” Greene said. “By ashing your lights, you’re warning people that something is ahead. If you come up on animals, use your best judgment. You may need to pull over on the shoulder and wait.”

at can require time and patience.

“Because they go in little groups, they can take 20 to 30 minutes to cross,”

Greene said. “You could go between little groups very, very slowly.”

Greene said animals that are struck by vehicles and killed are not always accounted for, in part because people may not make a report, the animal may run or walk o the road and die elsewhere and because some drivers may take the carcass home.

“You can count road kill, but miss counting animals who were picked up by people who want to bring them home or eat them,” she said.

It’s legal but requires a permit from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

After months of restoration work the mural is ready to be re-hung

BY CHRISTOPHER KOEBERL CHRIS@COTLN.ORG

e restored mural titled “Oh My Gawd Road” was unveiled at its temporary home in Citizens Park in Idaho Springs in time for July 4th festivities.

For decades, the mural depicting downtown Idaho Springs and the infamous ‘Oh My Gawd’ Road” hung on the outside of the “brown barn” adjacent to the former Citywide bank and future headquarters of Idaho Springs Police at 1744 Miner St.

e wooden mural is painted as an amalgamation of the city of Idaho Springs with people, cars, trucks and wooden structures.

e original design was painted by a local artist Wendall Pugh, in the early ‘90s,

‘Oh My Gawd’ mural is back

according to Director of the Historical Society of Idaho Springs, Jan Boland. However, years of weather, wind and sun took a toll on the mural’s paint as it faded into the past.

Hearing about the idea to restore the mural, the Clear Creek School Board offered the gymnasium at the old Carlson Elementary School building as a workshop. Since the mural is approximately 10 feet tall and at least 24 feet across, the gym provided plenty of room to spread out.

When the original reconstruction artist Shawn Cox was forced to step away from the project due to health issues, new Clear Creek County resident Keith Prossick was asked to step in and nish the project.

Prossick, who recently moved to the county from New York, owns and operates the Anomaly Art Gallery in Georgetown, said he was honored at the request and relished the challenge of restoring the iconic mural for Idaho Springs, especially since he is new to the county.

Evergreen Chorale performs at Carnegie Hall

Members of local group joined with choirs from cross the country

BY JANE REUTER

JANE@COTLN.ORG

Fifty- ve members of the Evergreen Chorale achieved the moment of a lifetime this summer, performing in New York City’s Carnegie Hall. e local group, ranging in age from 15 to 90, joined their voices June 29 with another 145 singers from across the United States. Together, they sang Elaine Hagenberg’s masterwork Illuminare and Sherry Blevins’ Tipping Point: A Choral Suite on Climate Change, accompanied by the New England Symphonic Ensemble. “It was very exciting to sing in that beautiful hall in those perfect acoustics

with a fabulous orchestra,” said Christine Gaudreau, the Evergreen Chorale’s artistic director. “We just loved it.”

Carnegie Hall, which opened in 1891, has set an international standard for musical excellence and is the aspirational destination for the world’s nest artists. Designated a National Historic Landmark, is famous for its stunning acoustics and beauty. Its smooth interior, halfdomes, and dome ceiling were designed to optimize sound quality.

It wasn’t the Evergreen Chorale’s rst time singing Illuminare, composed in 2021 and described as taking listeners “through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion.” And Gaudreau thinks the group’s initial performance may have been the key to the Carnegie Hall invitation.

“In fall 2023, we worked with Elaine Hagenberg and collaborated on this project with choirs from Colorado Chris-

tian University, fellow church and high school choirs to perform her larger piece together with the orchestra,” she said. “We had just a wonderful time working with her.

“Last summer, I received an invitation from Carnegie Hall to travel there to perform Illuminare. It seemed a wonderful opportunity to revisit that piece.”

Sampling the Big Apple Evergreen Chorale members spent several days in New York City, visiting museums, seeing shows and exploring the city when they weren’t rehearsing. Several family members ew for the performance.

“After the concert, there was a midnight cruise around the Statue of Liberty, and quite a bit of celebration and joy,” Gaudreau said.

e Evergreen Chorale prides itself on drawing a multi-generational group of singers from both the foothills and the

metro area.

“People drive far to sing with us,” she said. “ ey like what our choir o ers. We are a large choral group — 80 to 90 on average per concert — and we sing a wide variety of music. We’re very dedicated to excellence in choral music, and I think people also appreciate how many good singers we have. e talent level is quite high.”

Upcoming Evergreen Chorale performances are planned at Evergreen Lutheran Church, Rockland Community Church, Armstrong Hall at Colorado Christian University and Denver’s Welshire Presbyterian among others. Rehearsals are held at Beth Evergreen and Lakewood.

Evergreen Chorale welcomes new members. While an audition is required, Gaudreau said it is not di cult. For more information on auditions, contact production manager Alex Woosley at alex@ovationwest.org

Rockies fans reminded, baseball is more than winning

Fireworks shows, Military Appreciation headline a weekend of baseball

BY JOHN RENFROW JOHN@COTLN.ORG

To cap an extravagant Fourth of July weekend on the diamond, the Colorado Rockies went all out to celebrate local veterans and military members with a parade on July 6.

It was the nale of a packed weekend of promotions, including back-to-back reworks shows following the rst two games against the Chicago White Sox on July 4 and 5.

Despite losing the rst two series games by a combined score of 13-5, the Rockies rallied on Sunday to win 6-4 in front of the home crowd. In the face of a brutal season, Colorado fans arrived in droves to root on their local team and enjoy some holiday festivities.

Plus, the weather cooperated to make for a beautiful long weekend.

e Military Appreciation game

on Sunday was opened by a parade around the out eld honoring past and present military members. Players shook hands with veterans in gratitude and reverence as everyone took a momentary step back from sports.

ere was also a pregame salute from multiple military branches, a national anthem performance by a veteran in uniform and an on- eld presentation of an enormous American ag.

Master Sergeant Christopher Nemeir was honored as the Hero of the Game.

In a back-and-forth game full of explosive innings, home runs from Michael Toglia and Mickey Moniak helped push Colorado over the edge to end the homestand with a win. Moniak also had a triple and an RBI double in the game, carrying the Rockies to a victory.

Catcher Hunter Goodman was also announced as a 2025 MLB All-Star, as fans celebrated the news on the jumbotron during the game.

ough the Rockies are a lowly 21-70 (as of July 8), Colorado fans knew there was no place they’d rather be on the Fourth of July than Coors Field.

Mines teams win RMAC awards for academic excellence

Men’s XC, indoor track & field teams honored at conference banquet

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

e national title-winning Colorado School of Mines men’s cross-country runners aren’t just at the top of the podium.

ey’re at the top of the classroom, too.

e Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference recently announced the 2024-25 Brechler Award winners, recognizing the top-performing academic teams across

the conference’s 22 sponsored sports.

e Mines men’s cross country and men’s indoor track & eld teams were among the winners.

Regis and Colorado Mesa led the member universities, with four recipient teams each. Chadron State followed with three, and Mines tied Black Hills State and Westminster with two each.

e Mines men’s cross country team’s win is the program’s rst since the award was established in 2012-13, the Orediggers con rmed in a recent press release.

e two Mines teams and the other the Brechler Award-winning teams were scheduled to be recognized at the July 10 RMAC awards banquet in Colorado Springs.

is year’s Brechler Awards, named af-

ter former RMAC Commissioner Paul W. Brechler, was based on the highest team GPA from the 2024-25 academic year, the RMAC described in its press release.

e team GPA includes all studentathletes who were on the institution’s NCAA eligibility list, and is calculated by dividing the total quality points for each semester by the total number of credits.

e Mines men’s cross country team produced a 3.595 GPA, Mines Athletics con rmed, while the men’s indoor track & eld team had a 3.563 GPA — winning its second-straight Brechler Award and fth overall.

Several Orediggers compete on both teams, as well as on the outdoor track & eld team.

In fall 2024, the Mines men’s cross

country team went undefeated on the race course. e Orediggers swept the RMAC and NCAA Regional titles and eventually won their fourth NCAA Division II championship in 10 years. en, for the indoor track & eld season, the Orediggers had their best-ever nish at the NCAA Division II championships with six individual podium nishes and a third-place team trophy.

Right now, the Mines runners are on summer break, but o cial practices resume next month. en, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams kick o their 2025 competition schedule Sept. 20 at Denver’s Washington Park.

Governor vows to fight for school funds

Trump administration abruptly withheld millions

BY DELILAH BRUMER COLORADO NEWLINE

As Colorado school districts wait to hear about the fate of $80 million in federal funds that the Trump administration unexpectedly put on hold, school o cials are reluctant to lay o sta or cancel programs. But with the start of the new school year only six weeks away, time is running out.

e funds, which school o cials had expected to receive on July 1, were set to be used for after-school programs, teacher training, migrant education and Englishlanguage learning, among other initiatives. States learned the funds would be withheld with just one day of notice, leaving districts scrambling to fund programs they were already committed to o ering and pay sta whom they had already hired.

Gov. Jared Polis led a roundtable with superintendents, teachers and education nonpro t leaders at West High School in Denver, where he blasted the withholding of funds as “harmful and opaque.” “ ese are very di cult decisions that districts now have to make, and it has to happen in the next couple of weeks,” Polis said.

originally estimated at $70 million, but Polis said an updated estimate is $80 million.

pact not only on our students, which is the most important impact, but also on our workforce.”

With potential layo s looming, Melissa Gibson, the executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives, said superintendents and principals are having to make tough choices in the coming weeks.

“Every district leader is approaching this with students at the center and trying to mitigate the damage as much as possible,” Gibson said. “Every school community invests in them in di erent ways, but this is challenging.”

Both of Colorado’s U.S. senators, along with the state’s four Democrats in the House, sent a joint letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon “demanding answers on the stalled education funds,” according to a Tuesday announce-

“School districts throughout Colorado are depending on these funds to deliver critical services to students across the state,” the letter said. “ e delay and uncertainty around the distribution of this funding have made it incredibly di cult for school districts to plan and hire sta for the next school year.”

e federal Department of Education has not provided a timeline on the funds, which in a notice to states it said are under review. e funds $6.8 billion nationwide were already approved by Congress. Colorado’s share of that withheld money was

One of the district’s services that would need to be scaled back is a program that sends sta across Je erson County in a refurbished bus to meet with parents, hand out resource yers and sign up kids who are recent immigrants for support services.

“We’re very worried about how to run our programs without that funding,” said Tracy Dorland, Je erson County Public Schools superintendent. “ is has an im-

During the roundtable, Polis declined to specify if Colorado plans to sue over the withheld funds, but he said the state is “exploring all available options” to get the funding restored.

Hickenlooper renews call to repeal Comstock Act

States have used 1873 act to limit medical abortions

BY SARA WILSON COLORADO NEWSLINE

U.S. Sen John Hickenlooper is renewing a call to repeal part of a 19th-century law that conservative activists have used to restrict medication abortion access in cities across the country.

“ ese extreme Republicans and dustcovered laws from 1873 should not be directing a women’s right to make her own health care decisions,” the Colorado Democrat said during a virtual panel with Colorado OB-GYNs and reproductive health leaders.

Hickenlooper is a sponsor of the Stop Comstock Act, which would repeal the Comstock Act of 1873, a measure that outlaws the mailing of “lewd” and “indecent” material. Anti-abortion activists have sought enforcement of the dormant law to essentially enact bans on many abortions, including medication abortions where patients receive mifepristone and other drugs in the mail after consulting with a doctor. Mifepristone is also used in many miscarriage treatments.

e federal tax break and spending cut bill signed into law by President Donald Trump last week cuts Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood — though that provision was temporarily blocked by a judge — and advocates worry that it could add strain to an already under-attack reproductive health system.

“We know that many of those people (on Medicaid) will not be able to seek care and other institutions or other avenues, and we know that places that are able to continue providing sexual health care are going to face increased demand and increased weight,” said Dr. Rebecca Cohen, a Colorado OB-GYN.

Pueblo City Council has voted twice since 2022 to oppose a proposed city ordinance that would have used the Comstock Act to restrict abortion access in the city. In October 2024, the council voted 4-3 to kill the ordinance before it

moved to a nal vote. If it had passed in Pueblo, it almost certainly would have been struck down due to Colorado’s Reproductive Health Equity Act.

“Abortion opponents have seized on the idea that the Comstock Act could be misused to ban the mailing of mifepristone and other drugs used in medication abortions,” Cobalt President Karen Middleton said.

Backers of the so-called “Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn” project have helped over 20 local governments, mostly in Texas, pass ordinances to ban abortion

by enforcing the federal law, most recently Big Sandy in Texas with a population of about 1,300.

Hickenlooper called the legislative effort a “marathon.” Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate and a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“ e issue with this circumstance, like every circumstance, is there are a number of reasonable, moderate Republicans that have been pushed to the corner, and they are threatened with primaries with tens of billions of dollars against them if they violate anything that the White House is trying to push,” he said. “At some point, when we have a breakthrough election, this will be the kind of thing — all the debris that is accumulated from the Trump years — we’ll be able to clean it out.”

Melisa Hidalgo-Cuellar, the chair of the Cobalt Abortion Fund, said the organization has seen a nearly 1,200% increase in funding for people accessing care at telehealth-only clinics that mail abortion medication to patients. It can be di cult to travel to a brick-and-mortar clinic for people without reliable transportation, who don’t have child care or who live far from a physical clinic.

“You really see that people are opting for this because it’s a more convenient and a ordable option for a lot of abortion seekers,” Hidalgo-Cuellar said. Hickenlooper’s bill was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee when it was introduced. is story is from Colorado Newsline. Used by permission.

MURAL

Community support

“I’ve always thought volunteering is the best way to get to know people and introduce yourself to the community,” Prossick said.

At least a half-dozen public services

in Idaho Springs and local businesses donated time, space and money to complete the mural restoration project.

e Colorado Mountain Bike Association provided a $500 donation to the project and is starting a tax-deductible donation option for anyone else interested in supporting the restoration efforts, according to COMBA Director Gary Moore.

e Clear Creek Fire Authority helped

to break down the plywood panels inside the former Carlson gym and transport them to Citizens Park on July 3 where hundreds of people would gather for 4th of July celebrations.

Prossick watched the mural reassembled with pride, he said, returning a symbol to the town.

“I get a joy out of saving things, a lot of things in my gallery are things that I have saved or restored. e ability to bring it

back to life, it’s just something I like to do,” Prossick said.

“Oh My Gawd Road” in Idaho Springs earned its name by reputation, according to many locals.

O cially, it’s Virginia Canyon Scenic Drive in Clear Creek County. e gravel road in Idaho Springs is described by many residents as a narrow, curving, dirt and rock lane that will have you shouting, “Oh My Gawd!” over and over.
