Testing shows PFAS in many mountain water systems

State o ers testing, help for private well owners who meet requirements

BY JANE REUTER

Conifer resident Ralf Topper was taken aback earlier this year when he saw a noti cation at his doctor’s o ce warning of chemical contamination of the domestic water supply.

In a random state test conducted in April 2024, Conifer Medical Center tested positive for PFOA or per uorooctanoic acid, part of a larger group of manmade chemicals known as PFAS or forever chemicals.

Topper has since learned the center is among many places in the area with systems containing PFAS.

“When I went on the (state) website and looked at where they had positive results, I was very surprised to see how ubiquitous this contamination was,” he said. “ is is not point sourced. is is

now throughout our environment, and that’s really scary.”

Conifer High School also tested positive for the chemical, along with 26 water systems identi ed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in 2024 as exceeding the new federal standards.

levels in just about everyone’s blood.

Both the Conifer Medical Center and the high school, which volunteered for the testing, have since implemented treatment systems to mitigate exposure.

Clear Creek closed to swimming, tubing amid rising water levels

Restrictions go into e ect June 9 in Golden, unincorporated Je co

BY CORRINE WESTEMAN CORRINE@COTLN.ORG

Rising river levels promoted the Jefferson County Sheri ’s O ce and the Golden Police Department to implement red ag restrictions as of noon June 9, closing Clear Creek to swimming and tubing.

ese restrictions extend from Jeffco’s western edge through Golden city limits, including Vanover Park, according to a June 9 Sheri ’s O ce press release.

Under red ag restrictions, only kayaks, whitewater canoes, multi-chambered professionally guided raft and riverboards may operate in the creek. ese users should wear life jackets and helmets at all times, and proceed with extreme caution as water levels grow higher and faster in the coming days.

e restrictions will be strictly enforced to minimize the risk to those using the creek, the Sheri ’s O ce said. Violators may be issued a petty-o ense summons, punishable by a $100 ne.

As local rescuers have previously explained, water in Clear Creek can reach about 15 mph at peak ows. While that doesn’t seem fast compared to a car, rescuers have stressed that it’s much faster than people can swim. Plus, water temperatures are so low, people without proper gear can become hypothermic very quickly.

“ e river is powerful,” Lt. Joe Bechina of the Golden Fire Department said last June. “It’ll win every time.”

Authorities will lift restrictions when water levels and speeds decrease. Based on recent years’ run-o trends, that may be in late June or early July.

PFAs are human-made chemicals that resist oils, stains, water, and heat. e chemicals are common in non-stick coatings on cookware, coatings for carpets and fabrics, paper and cardboard food packaging, re ghting foams, ski wax and other products. ey don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment and in the human body for a long time. In fact, the American Cancer Society says studies have found PFAS worldwide at very low

“No one is serving water in the area with PFAS above maximum containment levels,” said David Dani, emerging contaminants coordinator for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “ ey did detect levels about the EPA’s national containment levels.”

e EPA announced strict new maximum levels in April 2024, prompting the round of testing. At the same time, the federal government also tagged more than $10 billion to help communities test and treat drinking water — money intended for rural or disproportionately impacted areas.

In the interim, Clear Creek visitors may see re ghters and other rescuers conducting swiftwater training along the creek this month. It remains a popular training spot for rescuers from all over the country, including several local agencies.

Before recreating at the creek, visitors should check the ag warning status either online at VisitGolden.com or via the physical ags posted on the bridges over Clear Creek.

In praise of shade at Lions Park

City discusses playground spot, improvements at both ends of 10th Street’s

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

Whatever the Lions Park playground might look like in a year or two, Goldenites de nitely want the area to have plenty of shade.

e City of Golden plans to update the playground next year and has been collecting feedback from both children and parents this summer.

So far, the biggest priority for both groups was shade, city o cials con rmed at a June 9 Heart of Golden community meeting. Water features were a close second. Of the themes suggested for the updated playground, a nature-based scenario received the most votes from adults and children, but outer space was a popular second choice among children.

Locals have been providing feedback both online and at pop-up events throughout May and June. City o cials said those e orts will continue throughout June and July, as the city narrows in on design options for the new playground.

Golden is planning to hire a consultant for the project this summer or early fall, and then start construction drawings before the end of the year. Construction for the new playground is slated for late 2026.

Debating locations

Overall, Goldenites are debating the pros and cons of the playground’s current location — whether it should stay there or

be moved to the park’s center.

e feedback results at the June 9 meeting didn’t specify whether respondents preferred the playground’s current location or moving it. e results only listed shade as respondents’ biggest priority, although that seemingly aligns more with the “stay” option.

Jesse Badder, deputy director of recreation & golf, has explained that keeping the playground in its current spot would be more e cient and have more shade. However, over the years, users have raised concerns about how close the playground is to the road.

Moving it to the park’s center would be safer and closer to the restrooms in the community center and at the ball elds, Badder said. It would also allow the current playground to remain open during

the construction project.

However, the park’s center isn’t as shaded and has signi cant drainage issues that would need to be addressed, he continued.

To provide feedback, an online survey is open through June 24. ere will also be more pop-up events in July. For more information, or to complete the survey, visit guidinggolden.com/east-end-amenities.

Ready, Set, Play! Volunteers install long-awaited playground at Golden elementary school

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN

CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

After years of planning and fundraising, Golden’s Shelton Elementary Schoolnally has a new playground.

e school was hosting community build days June 12-13, where current and former students, parents, sta members and other volunteers — about 30 people total — were installing new jungle gym equipment.

e previous playground, which was original to the 30-year-old school, didn’t have a slide, seesaws and other popular features.

Several Shelton students, parents and teachers described how it seemed more like outdoor tness equipment for adults, rather than a playground for children.

Twins Hazel and Lily Reitz, who will be fourth-graders at Shelton next year, were thrilled to see their new playground taking shape. ey were helping their parents and others assemble it on June 12, and were excited to have slides and other fun features their playground didn’t have before.

Middle-schoolers Miles Lorenc and Will Clark, who were also volunteering ursday, were happy their younger siblings would have new, high-quality equipment to play on now.

e playground is open to the public during non-school hours, so the two Shel-

ton graduates planned to return and play on it sometime.

Volunteers hoped to have the bulk of the playground installed by June 13, but organizers said there would be a few smaller projects around the playground before it’s completely ready. at included installing mobility paths to ensure all the elements are accessible and updating the Buddy Bench.

School o cials said they were planning to host a ribbon-cutting for the playground when classes resume in August.

To volunteer for the June 13 community build day, check out the SignUpGenius here. Older children are welcome to volunteer as they’re able.

Open to all

e Shelton PTSA has been fundraising for new playground equipment for more than ve years.

Principal Michael Zweifel said she was excited for current and future Shelton students, and local children who can enjoy it during non-school hours, all of whom will be able to enjoy this new playground.

Not only will it have those popular and long-awaited features, like a slide, but Zweifel emphasized how it’ll be open to and inclusive of all users.

“Everyone will be able to play on it,” she said.

PTSA President Maya Chain and member Sarah Hawkins have emphasized how

ty Center and an ADA-accessible ramp on the west side of the Canyon Gates Apartments building.

Both areas already have social trails, showing the need for pedestrian connections between Eighth and 10th streets, project manager Sara Elyse Aupperle said.

Additionally, there is no easy ADA access between the two streets right now, she said. ose with mobility issues must use the elevator inside the Golden Community Center, which isn’t always open. is project would provide a better option, she said.

Because both the staircase and the ramp will be on city property, Golden employees will be responsible for year-round maintenance, she clari ed.

City o cials plan to nalize the designs this summer and start construction in late fall. Aupperle said the staircase on the community center’s east side should take about three months to build, but the ramp west of the apartment building would take longer.

Overall, she hoped the entire project would be done by fall 2026.

e nal project on display at the June 9 community meeting was the East End Amenities Zone. Golden employees and consultants were gathering feedback on programming for Parfet Park, Vanover Park, Tucker Gulch and other city properties on the east end of 10th Street.

Attendees were asked whether they wanted any of these city properties to be more naturalized, more active and programmed or a mix of both.

An online survey for the East End Amenities Zone is open through June 24. For more information or to complete the survey, visit guidinggolden.com/eastend-amenities.

the improved playground’s surface will be ADA accessible, versus the rocky ground that was there before. e jungle gym will also be ADA accessible and at least one of the new swings will be able to accommodate wheelchairs.

Additionally, they said, it will have several features for children who are neurodiverse and/or have sensory needs. ose include music features and communication boards with letters and symbols.

It takes a village

Chain and Hawkins said the project wouldn’t have been possible without donors and supporters from Golden and all over Colorado. Accounting for the donated work and materials, including demolishing the old equipment, the two PTSA members said the playground’s nal price tag was around $250,000.

According to Chain and Hawkins, that was possible with support from several places, along with support from school families and individuals across Golden. ose include the City of Golden, which awarded a $65,000 grant for the project; 9News’ Kyle Clark featured the project in a “Word of anks” segment, which drew interest and donations from across the state; Equipment supplier Altitude Recreation matched $90,000 for the main structure; and e Denver-based Weitz Company donated personnel and equipment for the June 12-13 community build days.

Additionally, last year’s third-grade classes sent out handwritten letters to local businesses and organizations, asking for their support. Many answered the call, donating money and/or hosting fundraising events for the project.

“It has taken the whole community to make this happen,” Chain said. Hawkins added: “We’re so full of gratitude.”

Golden is planning to update the Lions Park playground, seen here on April 21. Thus far, adults and children have said they want to prioritize shade and water features the most at the updated playground, but there will be additional feedback opportunities throughout June and July.

Sellers Are Putting Homes on the MLS, But Buyers Are Playing Hard to Get

In this article, I’m going to provide a market analysis that you won’t find anywhere else. Using my access to the Denver MLS, I will show you what is happening among listings within a 25-mile radius of downtown Denver that are active, pending and sold between $550,000 and $650,000.

I chose the price range because $600,000 is the median sold price in our market, unchanged from a year ago. I chose the 25-mile radius because that defines the metro area in my opinion. Every other statistical report you’ll read analyzes listings in 7 to 10 metro area counties, some of which extend many miles into the mountains (Park county) or out onto the plains (Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties). If you live in the Denver metro area as most people define it, my statistics are going to more accurately reflect the reality of our metro market.

Currently, as I write this on Tuesday, there are 1,543 active single family homes listed in that price range and in that 25-mile radius on REcolorado. Only 180 of them have been on the market 7 days or less, so 88.3% of them have been on the MLS over a week without selling

dian listing sold for its listing price, but 20 sold for between 5 and 14 percent below the listing price.

Median days on the MLS is 38

738 listings are “pending,” and 219 of them went under contract within 7 days, so 70.3% of them lingered on the market over a week before selling. Median days on market for the pending listings is 11

Now let’s look at the 561 listings which closed in the last 30 days, not the month of May. Ten of them sold before they were entered on the MLS, and another 224 went under contract in 7 days or less. So, 57.9% of those closed listings lingered on the MLS over a week. Median days on the MLS before going under contract was 11. The me-

Denver Leads the Nation in Increase of Unsold Listings

Compare those percentages, which I have put in bold for easy spotting. There’s over a 30% difference between the percentage of sold and active listings that have lingered unsold on the MLS for over a week.

Also compare the days on MLS. The median pending and closed listings went under contract in 11 days, but the active listings have a median days on MLS of 38. Any real estate professional will tell you it’s pricing. Many active listings may now be at a price that would have sold quickly, but they were overpriced in the beginning and now fail to get buyers’ attention.

979 days on the MLS — 95 have reduced their prices, but not enough to go under contract yet. Some of those price reductions are pretty dramatic, too. Nine of them have reduced their prices by $100,000 or more, and one by $250,000 — and they still haven’t gone under contract! As mentioned above, I would wager that if those listings had started out at their current price as new listings, they would have sold quickly and possibly above their current listing price, but they remain active today as stale listings, which are harder to sell at any price.

The bottom line of this analysis should be clear by now. If a home is not priced right in the beginning, it runs the risk of lingering on the market. Price reductions should be considered within a week if there are few showings and no offers. Don’t wait a month or longer to reduce the price.

The above article first appeared on the real estate page of last Saturday’s Denver Post.

Decline in First-Time Homebuyers

The chart from realtor.com displayed below shows the wide disparity in the increase of active listings compared to before the pandemic. The darker the red, the greater the increase over pre-pandemic levels, and Denver is the darkest at a 100% increase, or double the number of pre-pandemic listings. Coming in second was Austin with 69% increase, then Seattle with 60.9% increase.

Of course, many of those active listings which haven’t sold will either be withdrawn from the MLS or will expire without selling. Indeed, there are already 87 listings in that price range in that area that were “withdrawn” from the MLS in the last 30 days. That means they are still subject to a listing agreement but have been withdrawn from the MLS for one reason or another. The median days on the MLS before being withdrawn was 41.

The cities in blue still don’t have as many active listings as they did prior to the pandemic. Worst cases are Hartford at minus 77.7%, Chicago at minus 59.3%, and Virginia Beach at minus 56.7%.

There are 760 listings in that price range and area which “expired” without selling in the last 30 days, with a median days on the MLS of 70. Of them, 51 expired despite price reductions of up to $125,000.

Of the 100 oldest sold listings (between 68 and 339 days on the MLS) that went under contract in that price range and in that area, all but 9 of them only sold after reducing their listing price at least once. The average price reduction was $39,000, with the highest being $251,000.

Among the 100 oldest listings that are still active on REcolorado — ranging from 152 to

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports only 24% of housing sales last year were by first-time homebuyers, down from 50% in 2010. The typical purchaser is also older than in the past, with an average age of 38, or about 10 years above historical norms.

Roughly 20% of listed homes in March were affordable for households with $75,000 in annual income, according to a NAR analysis of property listings. Today, a household with annual income of $50,000 can only afford 8.7% of listings, down from 9.4% a year ago, according to the data.

These are national figures, however. The NAR report (for which you’ll find a hyperlink at http;// RealEstateToday.substack.com) does not provide separate figures for our market, which is probably even more severe in this regard.

Golden celebrates its 166th anniversary June 16

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN

CORINNE@COTLN.ORG

Like a ne wine, Golden has arguably gotten better with age.

On June 16, the former territorial capital marks 166 years since its founding, traditionally called Golden Day. e City Council marked the occasion with an annual proclamation at its June 10 meeting.

In 1859, George West and other members of the Boston Company established Golden City. “City” was dropped from the town’s title in January 1872.

According to city documents, members of the Boston Company and others camping in the valley met and agreed to

begin the formation of a new city. ey took steps to form a town company and to survey and lay out a town site.

Famous miner George Andrew Jackson requested the city be named after his most trusted friend and partner, omas L. Golden. Jackson and Golden had been caught in a ash ood in Clear Creek, west of the city’s current boundaries. e ood nearly took Jackson’s life, but Golden stayed by his side.

George West, president of the Boston Company, recorded these events and the city’s founding. He later served as a city councilor, started two newspapers and wanted citizens to establish June 16 as “Golden Day” to commemorate the an-

niversary of Golden’s founding.

e city served as the Territory of Colorado’s capital from 1862-67, when it was moved to Denver.

Since then, Golden has solidi ed several claims to fame over the years, including being the home of Coors Brewery and the birthplace of the Jolly Rancher candy.

Goldenites have shared how their favorite things about the city and surrounding area are the views, natural resources and outdoor recreational opportunities and events. To that end, the Transcript o ers this Golden Day photo gallery showcasing those aspects of Golden over the past year:

A person walks their dog at Golden’s Heritage Dells Park Jan. 7. The day’s cold, snowy conditions didn’t deter dozens of Goldenites who visited Heritage Dells Park for their daily exercise.

PFAS

While studies are ongoing, they suggest links between several health factors and PFAS exposure.

“If you don’t treat it and people are exposed to these chemicals for a long time, they may be at higher risk for certain health e ects,” Dani said. “ e risk of health e ects depends on how much of it you’re exposed to, how often and for how long.

“ e reason we are concerned is that there is strong evidence some PFAS can a ect the immune system, decrease infant birth rate, increase cholesterol, and increase the risk of kidney cancer.”

Bottled water and ﬁlters

Conifer Medical Center has taken steps to protect its clients.

“We did test positive, and they told us to post signs that no one should drink the water,” said practice administrator Denise Stuart. “Our patients are given bottled water, and our employees have a reverse osmosis system that lters the PFOA.”

Conifer High School did not return calls requesting comment, but Dani said it uses waterlling stations and carbon lters.

“One of the solutions for schools is to put in some of these treatment units that remove the PFAS and have students and faculty ll their bottles and get drinking water from those locations,” he said. “With water used for consumption for cooking, there are carbon units you can install that’ll remove the PFAS from the water.”

Help for private testing

e state provides free testing, Dani said. “We launched a PFAS testing and assistance system to support residents with private wells to test their water,” Dani said, adding that results are inconsistent within small areas. “We may nd it in one well and a neighboring well may not detect PFAS. at’s why we encourage everyone to test and take advantage of our program.

“If they do nd PFAS in their well, we help explain what the results mean. And if they have PFAS levels above EPA drinking water standards, we have support to help certain people with water lters. ere are a lot of solutions out there.”

e lters are available to those with speci c PFAS levels who meet income eligibility requirements.

Topper, a retired senior hydrogeologist with the Colorado Division of Water Resources, wants his neighbors to know about the possible contaminants in their water. Despite his knowledge of groundwater, he said he knew woefully little about PFAS.

“I thought of PFAS or any contaminant as emanating from some sort of point source,” he said. “ e one you hear most often is re ghting foam, which is not a common use in the mountain communities. So I might expect areas around a re station could have some contamination because they certainly train with it.

“But there are a lot of sources, including cookware and clothes. Maybe it washed out in the laundry or dishwasher and ends up in our septic, which of course recharges our groundwater. And we pull it up through our well and recycle it again.”

He wants his neighbors to be aware and take action if they discover it’s an issue in their home. Private wells, common in the mountains, are not regulated by maximum containment levels, so owners must test their water themselves to nd out if it’s an issue in their home.

“What really bothered me is that the only way I happened to stumble on this is because of a piece of paper posted on the door of my medical o ce,” Topper said. “ e problem is, while they’ve identi ed some health e ects of it – and clearly the EPA thinks it’s a very serious matter – it’s relatively new. We don’t have medical data for decades to show what this stu is doing.

“ e upside is you can treat the water. It can be ltered out, and it’s not that expensive,” he added.

Finding PFAS everywhere

Topper had his home water tested, but said he’d prefer not to share the results. But he wonders if others, including area restaurants, are

doing the same.

Dani, who spoke about PFAS at the April Conifer Area Council Town Hall, said the issue isn’t limited to the foothills.

“ is isn’t just an isolated area where we’re detecting PFAS,” he said. “We’re nding PFAS above the EPA’s maximum containment levels in di erent areas statewide.”

Topper believes far more should be done to address the problem than testing and ltering out PFAS.

“We as a society need to take some action here and sue these manufacturers,” he said. “ e fact that manufacturers are still making products with these chemicals in products is unacceptable. Let’s shut that down.”

CDPHE also has a map on its website that map that shows PFAS-positive areas and their levels throughout Colorado.

Well, the other day I was playing a show at Dirty Dogs Roadhouse and as I was checking out the crowd, I noticed something. Just how many of the guys there would t the same description as I do.

What is a country? What makes it up? Is it an enclosed area populated by people speaking a common language, honoring certain customs and traditions, and practicing similar religions? Are there traits a country’s people share? Perhaps love for a particular sport: football, sumo wrestling, rugby. Or cuisine: lasagna, frog legs, sushi. What about size and history? Ideas abound when thinking of a country’s makeup.

My questions aren’t meant to be a query into geo-political dynamics but instead to prompt thinking about how America is distinct relative to other countries. Peggy Noonan says America was invented. I prefer constructed or built since it was a matter of our Founders piecing together building blocks that had been created over the ages including democracy, trial by jury, and due process. Maybe it’s a matter of semantics because in the end we’d probably agree America’s founding was unique.

A few countries are ancient despite undergoing iterations throughout their history. China and India along with Egypt and Greece come to mind. Others formed through evolution. Due to the migrating tribes that swept into Europe over the millennia, sometimes displacing and sometimes blending with the native populations, Europe is lled with such countries. It’s a fascinating story, one that might add spice to your research into your family’s origins.

America, though, is di erent. Other than the native populations, people didn’t happen upon here; they intentionally came, initially from Spain, France, and England mainly. Most carried with them their birth country’s traditions and practices, especially religion.

But the English colonists’ experience di ered from the other two. First, they were primarily Protestant, not Catholic,

some kind of mention of that legendary folk hero and showman. One of our town’s biggest festivals, Bu alo Bill Days, is just around the corner in late July but we tend to have some kind of connection to him going for an entire month.

About his grave

Since I’m talking about Bu alo Bill here, it occurred to me that some of you may either be new to the area or are just passing through and don’t actually know that he is actually buried up on that mountain with the ashing television antennas on top of it on the west side of town. Not the one with the big “M”, the one next to it.

Nestled right up at the top of it is the Bu alo Bill Museum and Grave, and yes

America Is an Idea

both he, William F. Cody, and his wife Louisa are really buried up there with a pretty impressive memorial.

ere is also a complete museum with loads of historic artifacts as well as exhibits that tell the full story of Golden’s most famous Wild West gure.

e entire facility is run by the Denver Department of Parks and Recreation and they have a lot of fun things to see and do up there. But if you can’t make a trip in person, you can nd out a lot about Buffalo Bill by just visiting their website at www.bu alobill.org.

ey are open daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and are located at 987 1/2 Lookout Mountain Road here in Golden. Admission is only $5 for Adults, $4 for Seniors 65+, $1 for Children 6-17 with kids under 5 admitted free. Also, active-duty Military with I.D. get in for $2. So, check that out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

House construction on Washington Avenue

and largely guided by the Calvinistic Puritan Ethic. Further, their unifying principle centered around one broad idea: freedom. And with that came diversity, tolerance, and acceptance, even if they weren’t ideally practiced.

With the Magna Carta, the instinct for liberty became ingrained in the English consciousness. It was enhanced by the rise of mercantilism and the schism between the English and Roman Churches. So by the 1770s, it became a fool’s errand for King George III, Lord North, et al to try to whip the Americans, who no longer consider themselves English, into shape. It was that mindset that led to the Americans to take up arms. ey fought, bled, and died for freedom. ey bequeathed it to us, and that idea is a tenet of America to this day. at said, there are some in great positions of power who have a di erent view about the meaning of America. eirs is a transactional, self-serving perspective. It’s not principled. Rather, it’s utilitarian, which according to Merriam-Webster, means “the aim of action should be the largest possible balance of pleasure over pain.” ey see America as a playground, a venue to accumulate wealth. It’s a tension currently being played out in our socio-political exchange. at and them aside, there’s more than the sanctity of freedom and opportunity that bind us. ere’s social trust, among us the people and in our institutions. ere are commonly shared traditions and customs like reworks on the Fourth of July and football on anksgiving Day. ere are honored and sacred sites that should be inviolate—places

of worship and learning and forums for free speech, from sidewalk soap boxes to press rooms— even if one doesn’t believe in their preachings and agree with their teachings and opinions.

It’s been an ongoing struggle to defend and expand that fundamental idea of America. It got especially ugly in the Civil War, but it didn’t doom the American experiment. A poignant tale from it is telling and relevant.

In “ ese Generals Were the Closest of Enemies,” Peggy Noonan recounts an anecdote, originally told in Michael Shaara’s “ e Killer Angels,” about the enduring friendship between two Civil War generals, Win eld Scott Hancock of the Union and Lewis “Lo” Armistead of the Confederacy. As fate would have it, they nearly met face to face at the Battle of Gettysburg. Scott was wounded but survived; Armistead died of his wounds in a Union hospital tent.

When the war began, Armistead sent Hancock’s wife a package that she was to open only in the event of his death. She honored his request. It was Armistead’s family Bible.

Peggy says stories like these are part of our history and shouldn’t be lost because if we lose them, we lose part of ourselves and “part of the gift we give our immigrants.”

“We’ve overcome a great deal,” she writes. “We see this best if we don’t deny our history but tell the whole messy, complicated, embarrassing, ennobling tale.”

Now, there’s an idea for you.

Postscript: My thanks to reader Gary for reminding me that Steve Goodman, not Arlo Guthrie, wrote “City of New Orleans.” My phrasing in “American Pie” implied otherwise.

Jerry Fabyanic is the author of “Sisyphus Wins” and “Food for ought: Essays on Mind and Spirit.” He lives in Georgetown.

I am writing to express my strong displeasure with the construction that is taking place on the lot next to 219 Washington Ave.

I do not understand how the permit for this house was ever approved, as its size is much too large for the lot. It is an eyesore that goes against the very nature of Golden’s small-town nature.

As a long-time resident of Golden, I am saddened to see the increasing amount of these projects that are being allowed within our city limits. I would very much like to see our leaders hold the developers accountable and stand up for a more reasonable and community-focused approach to growth.

With all due respect. Daniel Lopez, Golden

Lane widening on Ford and Jackson risky, ill-conceived

Us and our neighbors recently learned of a risky plan being pushed by the City of Golden that will place speeding tra c on Ford and Jackson Streets literally inches away from sidewalks used by Golden residents, visitors, children, students, and our families every day. We call on the City to “slow the bus down” (literally and guratively) and listen to the legitimate concerns of its citizens.

e City wants to install 12-foot bike lanes on both Ford and Jackson Streets – yes, you heard that right, 12-foot bike lanes – between 14th and 24th Streets, ironically to make Golden more bike and pedestrian friendly. To make room for these gargantuan bike lanes, the City is pushing all tra c lanes up against sidewalks on the other side of the street with no bu ers or protection.

Pedestrians on our side of the street will take our lives into our hands, walking literally inches from cars, trucks and buses, often travelling 35- to 50+ mph. ink about a child walking on a sidewalk 24”

BY RYLEE DUNN

For many, the feeling is all too familiar: hands awkwardly gripping the fretboard, the sharp bite of the strings digging into ngertips, an out-of-pitch buzz emitting from the soundhole — the early days of learning to play guitar can dissuade even the most persistent student from the pursuit.

Yet those who persist often discover the hard-earned spoils of guitar playing. Camp res become enlivened with sound, impromptu jam sessions serendipitously come together and in some cases, bands and long-standing musical careers are formed.

While many guitarists learn the instrument when they’re children, others come by it later in life – and the instrument has plenty to o er folks no matter when they pick it up. David Gilbert, a father of two from Englewood, began playing recently because he wanted to expose his young children to the magic of live music.

“I’m pushing 40,” Gilbert said. “At this point, the likelihood that I’m going to end up some guitar virtuoso is pretty slim, but what I recognize is that I can get to a point where I can subject my family to some camp re songs.

“And I think that kind of speaks to the essence of guitar — kind of as this common man’s instrument that doesn’t take too much to get to a point where you can play

some simple sing-along songs with kids, or get to a point where you can just make a fun sound or a little tune,” he continued. “So at this point, that’s my goal; to learn enough chords that I can play some music.”

Gilbert, like many other later–life guitar learners, has turned to a common source of information in the modern age for instruction: YouTube.

e widely utilized social media site is sought out by both novices and seasoned professionals alike.

Warren Rubin is a lifelong guitarist who began playing at an early age and now plays bass guitar in the Arvada-based band, Dive Bar Diva. Rubin works as a soundman for artists such as Hazel Miller and operates an ampli er repair shop out of his garage. He is sometimes known as the “Amp Whisperer.”

Rubin says that there are more resources out there for aspiring guitarists now than there have ever been.

“You don’t have to take classes every week or every month; as much as you need to just pursue interesting ideas,” Rubin said. “Watch other people who have other approaches to the instrument. We live in a golden age for this sort of thing, because you can turn to YouTube and there are people who are just absolutely brilliant guitarists showing you what they do and how they do it.”

GUITAR

FROM PAGE 10

Some of the YouTube channels Rubin and Gilbert recommend are Rick Beato, Justin Guitar, Paul Davids, Andy Guitar, and Wings of Pegasus.

While Rubin acknowledges the utility of something like YouTube, he also continues to take in-person lessons at the Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor in Arvada, despite having played the instrument for over six decades.

“All of the best guitar players I know — including my teacher, who has a master’s degree in jazz — continue to take classes,” Rubin said. “If you can a ord it, take lessons, not because it’s the only way to learn the instrument, but it gives you a strong set of fundamentals.”

e Denver metro area is awash with music schools that o er guitar lessons. Arvada’s Pickin’ Parlor, Denver’s Swallow Hill Music, Englewood’s Denver Music Institute and the Littleton School of Music all o er lessons for a variety of di erent styles and skill levels.

While many continue to take lessons long after rst picking up the instrument, other players eschew them altogether. Kevin Pounds — a Colorado Springsbased musician who records under the name Kevin Lbs. and has played in bands including We Are Not A Glum Lot and e Short-TERM — is completely self-taught and learned the instrument by ear.

“I spent my rst year playing, probably hours a day, sounding out Nirvana songs by ear,” Pounds said. “Just dragging my ngers up the strings until I heard some semblance of what was coming out of the speaker across from me. I became a bit more literate with time. I started to realize that certain chords that I was learning matched individual notes on my fretboard.”

Pounds echoed Rubin’s sentiment about trying to learn from others.

“Try not to compare yourself to others,” Pounds said. “It can be very discouraging. But on that note, don’t be afraid to steal their tricks or techniques. You’re always going to put your own scent on it anyway.” Gilbert said the main hurdles he’s dealt with as a newer player are developing the muscle memory to be able to quickly change chords and nding time to practice.

“It reminds me, actually, somewhat of where I started to feel a little stumped with learning a foreign language,” Gilbert said. “Doing rapid chord changes is still something I’m training my ngers to do. “ e other big challenge for me right now is just time,” Gilbert continued. “You know, I’ve got a full-time job and I’ve got kids, so, if I’m lucky, I’ve got half an hour in the evening to sit down with a YouTube tutorial and mess around with guitar. But that’s sort of the bene t of the YouTube thing. I don’t have to build lessons into my schedule. I can t them in where it works.”

Rubin said that instead of seeking out mastery, one should play simply for the enjoyment of the instrument.

“If it brings you joy, you already play well enough,” Rubin said. “And you know, what brings you joy? Is it just playing three chords and being able to sing some of your favorite songs? Is it being able to sit in your chair and noodle a little bit while you watch television? Do it. It’s never too late to start.

“You don’t need to become a virtuoso,” Rubin continued. “I’m not going to live long enough to be a virtuoso, but you don’t need to be a virtuoso for playing to bring you joy.”

Guitarist Kevin Pounds learned the instrument by ﬁguring out songs by ear, demonstrating one of the many paths one can take on their way to learning to play.

Folks of any age can learn to play guitar, and there are lots of methods available by which to do so.

from a truck going 50 mph – it’s truly frightening. We currently have a 5- to 6-foot bu er; now, we’ll have zero buffer. ere are also many reasons to believe bicycle safety will be compromised. Indeed, the City of Denver is removing similar separated bike lanes. I am a cyclist and not against bike lanes. But, this is not the way to protect cy-

clists, pedestrians, or Golden residents. e problem is exacerbated by the lack of enforcement of speed limits Ford and Jackson. e City will conrm that many (most) vehicles exceed the posted speed limit, many by a large margin. Some of the worst violators are RTD buses and semi-trucks. e situation will be even worse in winter.

Finally, the residents bearing most the impacts of this ill-conceived plan had no idea it was even happening, with each of us being told contradictory stories on City e orts to notify us.

Regardless of the excuses, none of us knew anything about this. Now, we’re being told construction starts this Fall, with no mitigations, bu ers, or protection being o ered.

We call on the City to slow down and think about this plan and the impacts on Golden citizens. Listen to our concerns. Provide some mitigations. Do a “pilot” project to observe the Plan in practice. Test your theories. You may save a lot of money – and maybe even lives.
