e First Judicial District Attorney’s Ofce has charged an Arvada man with kidnapping, assault and ve other counts after he reportedly attacked a server, choked her and threatened her with a gun on May 21 at the Golden-area Rock Rest Lodge. According to the Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce, the server didn’t sustain any major injuries during the May 21 incident.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Brandon Montano was arrested at the Rock Rest that afternoon and has been held at the Je co jail on a $100,000 cash bond since then. Montano appeared via livestream for his May 29 court hearing, where the prosecutors con rmed the DA’s O ce was ling seven charges against Montano. ey are: Second-degree kidnapping, a Class 3 felony; Second-degree assault, a Class 4 felony; Menacing, a Class 5 felony; Prohibited use of a weapon, a misdemeanor; ird-degree assault, a misdemeanor; False imprisonment, a misdemeanor; and Crime of violence, a sentence enhancer.
With formal charges led in the case, the judge scheduled Montano for a pre-
liminary hearing at 9 a.m. on June 18 at the Je co courthouse.
Generally, preliminary hearings are when prosecutors must prove there is probable cause for a felony case to continue through the judicial system. ey typically proceed like small-scale trials where he prosecution calls witnesses to present testimony or describe evidence, and the defense can cross-examine the witnesses.
In general, if the judge rules there is probable cause, the case would proceed to an arraignment hearing where the defendant may enter a plea. If not, the charges would be dismissed.

In a rare and highly public rebuke, the Jefferson County Education Association delivered a vote of no con dence in Superintendent Tracy Dorland during the May 29 school board meeting, accusing her of “undermining trust,” excluding educators from decision-making and destabilizing schools through top-down leadership.
e vote represents a signi cant escalation in tensions between district leadership and its employee union, which represents more than 5,000 educators and licensed sta in the state’s second-largest district. A vote of no con dence is a formal expression of disapproval, typically used to signal that a governing body or leadership team has lost the support of the employees or stakeholders it serves. While symbolic and non-binding, it can carry signi cant political and public weight.
Union cites breakdown in collaboration and trust
e union’s operational board and representative council voted unanimously to issue the declaration, citing what they described as a pattern of exclusion, top-down decisionmaking and lack of transparency under Dorland’s leadership.
“ is decision was not taken lightly,” the union stated in a letter delivered to the board prior to the meeting. “It is a re ection of the overall direction of the district under Superintendent Dorland’s leadership which has created a disconnect between the central administration and the educators, families and communities we serve.”

Nights like May 27, when one of the world’s most popular and award-winning bands choose his bar for their afterconcert party, don’t tempt Dave Killingsworth to stay in the business.
e longtime Morrison business owner recently listed the Bear Creek Avenue bar, its adjoining businesses, houses and the property around it for sale for $15 million.
Killingsworth knows the Black Keys — who recently held a late-night Record Hang at the Morrison Holiday Bar — are famous but not much more than that. And he’s met plenty of famous people in nearly 20 years of running Morrison’s popular live music venue. e idea of meeting more isn’t even a consideration for him.
“I just had my Medicare birthday this month,” Killingsworth said. “If I had endless energy, time and money, there’s a lot more I’d like to do. But I don’t. And I don’t want to ght with the town to do it.”
e things he wants to do include opening up the walls between neighboring Tom’s Upholstering shop and Red Rocks Grill — both of which Killingsworth and his Texan brother Fred own — and creating a large restaurant/bar with garage doors, more room for dancing and other
Counseling nonprofit opens
June 4 at o ce near Hilltop Drive and Evergreen Parkway
BY JANE REUTER
Resilience1220 is moving its o ces to La Plaza O ce Park in anticipation of its current building’s likely eventual destruction.
e new site at 3071 Evergreen Parkway is only about 2.5 miles from their current location in the Miller House alongside the Buchanan Park Recreation Center, and sta believes it’s a better site for its clients.
“We’re really excited about the new location and to be part of that neighborhood,” executive director Lindsey Breslin said. “It’s a little more central, with easy access and good parking.”
e new Resilience1220 o ce o Hilltop Drive will open June 4.
While the Miller House’s future is not set, several designs for the planned expansion of Buchanan suggest tearing it down to make space for the future eldhouse. Based on community feedback, the Evergreen Park & Recreation District plans to add a 20,000-square-foot structure with two multi-purpose gymnasi-
features he thinks patrons would enjoy. But that’s either a job for someone else, or an idea a new owner may not pursue, he said.
While Killingsworth has put years of effort and money into expanding the Holiday, including adding a rooftop patio, two parking lots at the back, expanded bathrooms and other amenities, its future doesn’t matter to Killingsworth. Well-known by the town’s elected ofcials for confronting them at their biweekly meetings about the lack of town parking and his claims that they don’t do enough to help their businesses, he says that’s not the reason he’s o ering his properties for sale either.
“It’s just time,” he said. “And I’m not the only one involved. My brother wants to sell, too.”
Unique Properties describes the site as “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a rare mixed-use property in one of the state’s most charming and highly tra cked tourist destinations.”
But the Holiday isn’t just known for its live music or location in downtown Morrison. Killingsworth has also created a sense of community that extends beyond music lovers. e Holiday hosts free community dinners on anksgiving, Christmas Day and Easter. It rst introduced the idea in 2007, holding them annually until the pandemic. ose events returned this year, drawing some
ums and an indoor walking track.
Separately, EPRD also plans an $8–$10 million expansion of its pool area, adding a full-sized lap pool, springboard diving, rope swings, indoor/outdoor garage doors and outdoor water features including a hot tub. at nearly year-long project is set to happen rst, with the expected groundbreaking in January 2026.
“It’s been a constant conversation as we design and possibly put a eldhouse/gymnasium behind Buchanan,”
said EPRD director Cory Vander Veen.
“ e last communication on design concepts have been that the building (Miller House) is partially in the way for either a road or a building behind it.
“We may use some of it for staging for the aquatic facility construction.”
Space for the summer
While Breslin said Resilience1220 knew the building wasn’t coming down immediately, she said sta also didn’t want to wait.
“We thought we’d be proactive and nd a space for this summer to avoid disrupting services for our clients,” she said.
e only issue, Breslin said, is that the move wasn’t in Resilience1220’s 2025 budget.
“ e timing of our move was unknown until a few months ago,” she said. “Our 2025 budget will cover our new monthly lease, but does not include funds for moving expenses.”
With the change, the nonpro t needs a new printer, shredder, tables for public events, ling cabinets, cash boxes and signage for its new location.
people back who treasured it as a unique experience.
Killingsworth isn’t without some sentiment about his establishment. He hopes a new owner will keep the Holiday, which has operated as a bar since the late 1800s, alive.
“I don’t know why, if they’ve been here more than a couple times, somebody would take the Holiday out,” he said.
“But that’s not my business.”
He’s also not on a timeline. If it doesn’t sell, he said he’ll hold onto it for at least another ve years. And if it does, he’s not yet sure what he’ll do.
e property includes buildings from 401 to 417 Bear Creek Avenue, as well as 109 Mill Street. at includes about 10,400-square-feet of retail space, two houses and 58 private parking spaces.

It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year, for kayakers.
Golden’s Clear Creek Whitewater Park is a popular destination year-round, but June typically kicks o the summer runo season for Clear Creek and other waterways in Colorado.
As the water gets higher and faster, ofcials recommend those recreating in and on Clear Creek should check the warning ag status before doing so. If the creek is safe for their chosen activity, they should proceed with caution.
e Evergreen-based nonpro t provides con dential, no-cost counseling to youth from age 12 to 20. It also hosts no-cost therapeutic and social support groups for teens and adults.
For more information, visit resilience1220.org.
As of May 27, water levels were still low enough that no warning ag was posted. Historically, though, June often sees red- and/or yellow- ag conditions for much of the month.

e summer run-o season is “prime time” for kayakers, so to speak, as organizations like the Colorado Whitewater Association host many of their events. CWA typically hosts its annual Kayak Rodeo and other events in or near Golden throughout the summer.
As of May 27, CWA’s website lists two Golden-area events this summer: a pair of evening cruises down Clear Creek on July 1 and July 8. Both will be led by local kayaker Chris Zeller, and both will start

This is the second installment of my monthly series about one of the hottest topics in real estate: Accessory Dwelling Units. ADUs have gotten a lot of attention recently as a housing option. My thanks to John Phillips of Verdant Living for helping on the research for it.
ADUs – accessory or additional dwelling units, also called granny flats — are a wonderful idea. They use an existing piece of residential real estate and create a separate living space. They are often used for intergenerational housing (aging parents, adult children just starting out, etc.) and have long-term value as rental property and add to the value of your real estate. But very few have been built in Colorado. The experience in the City of Denver is instructive. I have been told that since June 2015 the city has issued 528 ADU permits, of which 418 have received Certificates of Occupancy. There are thousands of possible sites. There are no easily attainable totals for areas outside Denver, but there are a few ADUs scattered around the suburbs, and there must be tens of thousands of possible sites.
the preferred option. But times have changed.
quickly baffles the typical homeowner.
Now, land in urban areas is scarce (thus more expensive), homes are more expensive to build and aren’t as available, and smaller living spaces in closer proximity to others is more acceptable, often preferred. Zoning was a big hurdle. In Denver, applications for variance were rarely denied, but the variance process could take months and was expensive.
However, that is not the problem it once was. Laws have been passed that override local zoning regulations; Colorado did that last year, and that law takes effect this July.
That has opened the door, but there is a long way to go. Most homeowners have never even heard of ADUs, much less thought of how building an ADU might address their needs. This series is a small attempt to address that education gap.
Other impediments:
Other local regulations and rules
Cost. The amount of money needed, even for the least expensive ADUs, is not trivial for most homeowners. It exceeds the purchase of a car or the cost of a tiny home, and many don’t understand why.
Finance. Beyond the raw cost, financing an ADU can be a challenge. Most lenders (but not our Wendy Renee, below) are not yet comfortable with the dynamics, and there are few lenders actively doing it. Call Wendy!
Time. The time between signing a contract to build an ADU and receiving a certificate of occupancy could be a year (and often longer). Before you get to the contract phase, investigation of options and selecting a vendor takes even more time. Sometimes a homeowner who wants an ADU has an immediate need, and the timelines may not match.
So, one might ask, why aren’t more ADUs being built?
For many years, they were discouraged by the restrictive zoning regulations of local governments. That made a lot of sense when land was relatively inexpensive, housing was generally affordable, and single-family residences were
Some of these are hangovers from the anti-ADU sentiment, but many are necessary to ensure the quality and safety of the dwelling as well as it being an acceptable addition to the community. These range from soil testing, setbacks, size limitations, parking, utility fees, construction inspections, and more. These sorts of things are dealt with as a matter of course by builders of multi-family buildings and main residences, but the complexity
Golden Real Estate is the best residential real estate agency i have ever worked with. And I have bought more than 20 houses. What I like most is that they are not afraid to express their frank opinions about any piece of real estate. And I love the house they found for us on South Golden Road. — Don Parker Dave Dlugasch did a phenomenal job working with us! We were not easy buyers because of an extensive “wish list” and he did his homework on each property we looked at until we found the right one. He gave us great advice and was very supportive of all our questions throughout the entire process.
— M. Madigan
Based on Jim Smith's knowledge, experience, and expertise in the real estate arena, we decided to work with him when it came time to downsize. We used Jim and his real estate firm to both purchase the new home and sell our existing property. All communication with Jim has been top notch. He also provided all packing materials and labor to make our move. It was a great experience from start to finish.
— R. Trujillo
We were beyond impressed with Kathy Jonke! She went above and beyond for us. She accommodated all of our needs. She was insightful and extremely helpful throughout the entire process! I can’t recommend her more!
— Eve Wilson
Not only did Jim Smith do a superb job in the marketing and sale of our home, he provided his company's moving truck and long time handyman Mark to move our belongings to our new home in Broomfield. When a problem occurred, he hired an outside moving company to help complete the move in one day instead of two! We are so pleased that Jim helped us through the process of selling our home and moving us into our new home.

Chuck Brown is a superb Realtor. He is very knowledgeable regarding the market, very
proactive and highly professional. Chuck was great at identifying potential properties that met our criteria, he moved very quickly to show us potential properties and his analysis of property values was on point and very thorough. Chuck was extremely proactive and responsive in his communications with us. Chuck went above and beyond our expectations. My wife and I have done six real estate transactions and we think Chuck is the best Realtor ever. We would highly recommend Chuck to other home buyers. — S. Diamond I was helping my mom and her husband sell the house. David Dlugasch was very accommodating to this dynamic. He arranged for all the paperwork to be done at the nursing home for the ease of my mom. David and I worked together to get the very full and dated house ready to go on the market. He went above and beyond by going to the paint store and hardware store etc. He was always available via text for any question I had along the way. He had a lot of resources. The best one was Mark, the handyman. I could always count on Mark. Mark was very meticulous and could do anything. What a great team! I could not have taken on this monumental task without them!!

Greg Kraft was knowledgeable and professional. He was very easy to work with and was super proactive in searching the listings. That was a key in us managing to buy the townhome in a very competitive market. He was also very responsive and communicated really well with us and the listing agents. We would recommend him without reservation.

Jim Swanson was kind and patient while listening to my questions. He helped me to translate the real estate language and manage the sale process. He connected the dots, allowing me to make good decisions, maintain my personal integrity and profit from the sale when a great offer came to the forefront.

Market awareness. As mentioned above, most potential purchasers of ADUs are unaware of the opportunity. That education is happening, slowly.
Vendors. In Colorado the cottage industry of ADU vendors and other service providers is only now developing. It exists but is small, hard to find (and vet), and doesn’t have a broad community presence.
All these factors are self reinforcing and limit the development of ADUs. And there is another factor at work. The very nature of ADUs which makes them such a terrific addition to the housing stock,

works against widespread adoption. They are “gentle density,” one here, one there. They are rarely installed at multiple residences close to each other. The impact, such as traffic, on a particular neighborhood is minimal. They don’t change the character of the neighborhood, but individual homeowners must have the need and desire.
Most have little experience with a construction project, understand how to research the options, are willing to turn their backyard into a construction site, and, especially for homeowners of moderate means, able to take on the risk and responsibility of a second mortgage (or make the necessary decisions).

agents bother to enter that information on their MLS listings. Of course, narrated video tours are not required either, and most “video tours” you see on other brokerages’ listings are really just slide shows with a music track. We have sold many of our own listings, including one that closes next week, to buyers who haven’t seen the home in person until they fly in for the inspection. The video tour gives them enough of a sense of what the listing is like to ask me or their agent write up an offer and go under contract for it.

e 2,000-word letter outlines a series of grievances spanning the last several school years, including sta turnover, changes to alternative education campuses, lack of stakeholder input in curriculum and scheduling decisions, and failures to adequately address safety and equity concerns.
It speci cally referenced the closure of Je erson Jr./Sr. High School, despite
community opposition, persistent safety concerns at Mitchell Elementary, where sta have reported repeated injuries and a delayed emergency response to a student medical crisis at Ralston Valley High School.
ese examples, the union said, highlight ongoing failures to provide safe and supportive school environments. ese concerns are not new.
Over the past year, educators and parents have raised similar concerns in public comments and community meetings, particularly regarding the frequent introduction of new curricula, the use of third-party vendors and reductions to central support roles, such as instructional coaches and social-emotional learning specialists.
Educators highlight systemic issues
o ce leaders has undermined continuity and support in schools.
“Instead of partnering with educators to nd solutions, Superintendent Dorland has dismissed or delayed action, allowing morale, retention and student outcomes to su er,” the union said.
e educator’s concerns also include the lack of communication with the Je co community regarding how schools would respond to inquiries or visits by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. is concern was compounded, they said, when Superintendent Dorland rejected a board-approved resolution designed to establish safe school protocols for managing such situations, further deepening mistrust among educators and families.
Contract controversy added fuel to the fire
Mary Parker emphasizing that executive sessions were used appropriately and that no nal decisions had been made. ere have been no further discussions about Dorland’s contract. However, the board met with Dorland in an executive session before today’s meeting to “discuss a personnel matter, speci cally the Superintendent check-in.”
High-profile incidents bring political pressure
State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Republican representing Colorado Senate District 23 and a Je co graduate, posted a public letter to Board President Mary Parker on May 28 calling for new district leadership.

Also among the union’s stated concerns were health care proposals presented to the board before consulting the district’s Bene ts Advisory Committee, major program changes announced without stakeholder input, delays in bargaining and the removal of books and gender inclusion guidance without community involvement.
“While we acknowledge that some decisions a ecting schools, sta ng, and student services must be made quickly and some are the purview of the Superintendent’s O ce, too often decisions in Je erson County Public Schools have been made behind closed doors without explanation,” the union said.
Union leadership also cited reported refusals to allow emergency medical care and a lack of response to serious behavioral incidents in schools.

The May 21 incident
According to the arrest a davit, around 1:45 p.m. May 21, Montano walked into the Rock Rest Lodge, sat down and ordered a beer.
While not referenced in the union’s letter, Dorland’s request to renegotiate her contract nearly two years ahead of its expiration also sparked backlash.
Her 2024–25 salary of $300,770, a 15% increase from her starting pay, plus bene ts including full health coverage, a car and technology allowance and a generous retirement package, drew criticism amid looming budget cuts and concerns about educator pay.
JCEA organized a letter-writing campaign late last year questioning the timing and transparency of the negotiations, especially as state budget forecasts worsened and Je co considered asking voters to approve new taxes in 2026.
“I think choosing not to ask for a raise now, as a leader, would allow her to gain her employees’ and the community’s respect,” JCEA President Brooke Williams said at the time.
Board members defended the contract discussions as standard practice, with

According to the a davit, Montano then pushed the server into a restroom stall and started choking her in a headlock-type maneuver. He also pulled out a handgun from his front waistband and pointed it at her head.
“From the tragic high pro le case of the Chief of Schools — whose misconduct was allowed to continue until his death — to a series of incidents where individuals accused of wrongdoing were permitted to resign quietly or be transferred rather than held accountable, this district has repeatedly chosen to protect itself instead of protecting students,” Kirkmeyer wrote. She also criticized Dorland’s request to renegotiate her contract while the district faced public trust issues and an ongoing scandal.

Kirkmeyer concluded her letter with a call to action: “ e public trust has been shattered. A culture that allows misconduct to be ignored, minimized, or hidden must be dismantled. at starts with new leadership.”

Golden has long been a city of thinkers and researchers, as demonstrated by this year’s class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows.
Of only 26 academics across the country who received special funding for their research, two have ties to Golden.
Colorado School of Mines professor Jessica M. Smith and University of Washington-Bothell professor Nora Kenworthy — a Golden High School Class of 2000 graduate — were among this year’s recipients.
Each winner will receive a $200,000 stipend to help with their respective research projects that seek “to understand how and why our society has become so polarized and how we can strengthen the forces of cohesion to fortify our democracy,” according to a fellowship press release.
e Carnegie Corporation of New York announced the 26 winners in April and will host them for a special gathering later this year.
Mines and UW are celebrating their respective faculty member’s achievements, as they con rmed that Kenworthy and Smith are the rst from their universities to win the fellowship since it was established in 2015.
Kenworthy and Smith independently said they were thrilled to be honored as Carnegie fellows.
ey were looking forward to additional funding for their respective research projects, and each said they hope to publish a book on their ndings. ey were excited to meet each other and other fellows at this year’s gathering in New York.
“I think the odds are surprising,” Kenworthy said of two Golden community members receiving the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship, “but I’m also superexcited to see another project that centers perspectives of Coloradans in the mix.”
Kenworthy has spent much of her adult life exploring instances where politics and public health intersect, whether for better or worse.
After graduating from GHS in 2000, Kenworthy earned a bachelor’s degree in political science at Massachusetts’ Williams College. She then spent two years working on community health projects in Montana and South Africa.
She said this work motivated her to pursue a doctorate in public health, and she enrolled at Columbia University in fall 2006. ere, she researched how political decisions were impacting people’s health all over the world. After earning her doctorate in 2013, Kenworthy joined the UW faculty.
She applied for the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship in fall 2024. When she saw she won, she said she was “very shocked,” commenting, “I thought it was a fake email at rst.”
For the fellowship, Kenworthy will be researching what she called “islands of solidarity,” where people overcame political polarization for a collective health goal.
Based on previous research, Kenworthy believed South Africa’s move from HIV denialism to promoting treatment is one example. However, she’s hoping to identify more.
“I want to nd stories like that from other places, and distill what they can teach us,” she continued. “ … e Carnegie (fellowship) is pretty unique, because it funds your time to delve deep on a topic for two years. … It’s a rare gift of time to look at a big problem and try to nd some answers.”
Kenworthy described how COVID-19 pandemic “spurred my thinking” about this particular research project, saying, “COVID was such a lesson in how pandemics can unite and divide. … Polarization politically is not
necessarily inevitable and can be reversed.”
Growing up in Gillette, Wyoming — the self-proclaimed Energy Capital of the Nation — Smith was surrounded by coal. Her dad worked as a mechanic in the mines, and Smith herself spent several summers driving trucks there.
Now, the Mines anthropology professor said she wants to research how the transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources are impacting sociopolitical systems. She said she’s primarily looking at impacts on Wyoming and Colorado communities.
Overall, Wyoming provides 35% of the nation’s coal, and Gillette is a major coal-producing community, Smith described. Some of that coal goes to Pueblo, Colorado, where it’s used to re an Xcel power plant.
Smith said she wants to examine “the di erent trajectories that people in those two places are experiencing (and) the way they’re imagining what their futures look like.”
So far, she said, Gillette is “doubling down on coal” and experimenting with ways to keep it viable as a sustainable energy source. Gillette residents are very supportive of coal “because it allows for upward mobility,” Smith explained.
Web: GoldenTranscript.net
Meanwhile, Pueblo may host the power plant but it doesn’t “get to bene t from the cheap electricity it produces,” she continued. at energy goes to the Denver metro area, including Golden, she said.
Meanwhile, Smith described how Pueblo must face the power plant’s environmental impacts, including air pollution, while guring out what will happen when the plant is fully closed by 2031.
“People (in Pueblo) really want whatever comes next to address the harms of what’s come before,” Smith said, adding how they also want to replace the tax base and the jobs that will be lost when the Xcel plant closes. is fall, she applied for the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship and won in early April.
“I cried,” Smith said, recalling her reaction to the news. “ … It’s easy to forget how important social sciences are for students and the larger research portfolio at (Mines), so it’s a nice encouragement.”

When faced with her nal two races as a college athlete, Colorado School of Mines senior Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge decided to go out in true Oredigger style — securing a piece of precious metal.
On May 22, Ramsey-Rutledge won the silver medal in the women’s 10K race at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships, following up on her individual national championship in the women’s 5K at March’s indoor nationals.
Overall, Ramsey-Rutledge and her fellow Orediggers earned four medals and eight podium spots over the May 22-24 meet.
Steeplechase runners Max Bonenberger and Emily LaMena secured backto-back bronze medals in the men’s and women’s events, respectively, and Logan Bocovich also earned bronze in the men’s 10K race.
Additionally, several other Orediggers earned national honors for their Top 25 nishes at the meet.
Overall, with 13 men and nine women competing in 25 events, the Mines teams placed 13th and 14, respectively, at the national meet in Pueblo.
Ramsey-Rutledge and other Orediggers helped the Mines teams get o to a
strong start May 22, as Ramsey-Rutledge secured her silver in the women’s 10K.
Meanwhile, Bocovich and teammates Jeremiah Vaille, Paul Knight, Braden Struhs and Loic Scomparin all competed in the men’s 10K.
Along with Bocovich’s third-place nish, Vaille was eighth; Knight, ninth; Struhs, 12th; and Scomparin, 18th.
Meanwhile, in the eld events, Mines’ graduate transfer Holden Murphy took fth in the men’s hammer throw. He threw 61.54 meters on his rst attempt and then 62.20 meters on his second — enough to close out his college career on the national podium.
On the second day of competition, steeplechasers Bonenberger and LaMena got a chance to shine. LaMena, a freshman, ran the event in 10:23.94, which is only two seconds o her own program record at sea level. en, for the men’s event, Alex Shaw secured 10th place behind Bonenberger. Likewise, Mines’ Everett Delate ran 13.92 in the 110-meter hurdles’ preliminaries. While he was bumped from the nals, his time was still fast enough to secure 10th place and second-team allAmerica status.

Twenty-two years ago, Mark Melancon celebrated on the mound at All-City Field as Golden High School won the school’s rst state baseball title.
Fast-forward to Saturday afternoon at Erdle Field at the Air Force Academy. Senior shortstop Jaydon Stroup elded a bouncing ball and red it to senior Luca Casali for the nal out, giving the Demons their second Class 4A baseball state championship with a 5-1 victory against Cheyenne Mountain.
“I don’t have a lot of words right now. Less than usual,” the soft-spoken Stroup said moments after elding the nal out and throwing it over to Casali at rst base. “It felt good to win the game, make the last play. It just feels really good.” e 2003 state championship team had to defeat Mountain View twice on a Saturday in Denver to claim the state title. Melancon — who went on to a 14-year MLB career as a relief pitcher, four-time All-Star and a two-time NL saves leader — got the win on the mound in the rst game against Mountain View. His cousin, Luke Roberts, took the victory on the hill in the second game before Melancon closed out the game. is time around, it was senior left Taden Svendsen going six and a third innings to pick up the victory. Svendsen allowed just one run while scattering eight hits.
Golden stranded eight runners on base in the nal three innings of the 5-2 loss. e morning ended the Demons’ 20game winning streak and set up a winner-take-all second game, but it didn’t derail Golden’s goal to win the state title.
“ e focus in between games was just to ush it,” Stroup said about the extrainning loss to Cheyenne Mountain. “A lot of underclassmen made some really big plays and got some really big hits.”
Casali reached and scored during all three of his at-bats. A three-run bottom of the fth inning gave the Demons (26-4 record) a 5-1 cushion. Sophomore Anthony Boucher had a big RBI single to right eld that scored Casali to put Golden up 3-1. Sophomore Liam Le ert delivered the dagger with a two-run triple to push the lead to 5-1.
“It feels amazing knowing we’ll have a 2025 state championship banner hung up on the walls of Golden High School,” Svendsen said. “To take this home is great for the community.”
Svendsen and fellow senior Sawyer Brinkman would have likely shouldered the pitching load if the Demons were able to force a winner-take-all 4A title game two years ago. However, Severance edged Golden 1-0 to send the Demons home with the 4A runner-up trophy in 2023.
“I always worry about it, no matter who the player is. It could be a senior. It could be a freshman. How are they going to re-
spond being on this stage? is is a big deal,” Golden Coach Jackie McBroom said. “Taden did a phenomenal job. He came out and pitched his game. He didn’t let the environment dictate how he threw.”
e environment got a little uncomfortable when Cheyenne Mountain won its fth straight elimination game in the state tournament with a 5-2 extra-inning victory against Golden.
“I looked at my watch and just said, ‘It’s over now. It was time to move forward,’” McBroom said about the Demons refocusing after the extra-inning loss where
“It was all just reset,” said Casali, who was 0-for-5 from the plate in the rst game before going 2-for-2 with a walk and three runs scored in game two. “ is was a fresh game. We knew we were the better team. Let’s build our con dence early and attack early. at was our whole mentality.”
McBroom went to freshman lefty Austin Bittner to nish the game with one out in the top of the seventh inning. It was only Bittner’s fth appearance in a varsity game this season.
“Not at all,” Bittner said if he imagined closing out the state championship game. “I was de nitely trying to work toward it the entire season, starting on JV and then swinging up to varsity for a couple of games. I was working hard to get to the varsity level and pitch.”

Today I’m going to talk about something that has a strong historic connection to Colorado and Golden in particular. Railroads. Trains have been running through here for over 100 years. Freight trains, passenger trains, commuter trains, mining trains, logging trains and there was even a cog railroad running up the side of North Table Mountain that shuttled guests to a restaurant that sat on top. Most of them have come and gone, but there are still a couple of them in operation to this day. All you have to do is take one look at the Coors brewery operation and you’ll see a massive complex train yard running through the whole place. Up a little father north, crossing under Hwy. 93, there’s the Amtrack and freight lines that head up into the mountains from the plains, and on the south side of town there’s the RTD light rail running all day.
But years ago, there were even more trains than that and there are plenty of people who have developed a love and fascination with them. at’s probably why we have the Colorado Railroad Museum, which is one of the best in the world, located right here in Golden.
I mention a lot of their special events, but today I am going to take a look at the place from a slightly di erent perspective.
When it comes to the people I will
This week, I came across the most amazing story from Michael Massimino. Massimino was a NASA astronaut for more than a decade. For ve years, he worked with a very close friend, Drew Feustel, another astronaut, to prepare to x the Hubble telescope. e plan for the repair job was that Massimino would do the work in space while Feustel would walk him through every step of the task while inside the shuttle. eir teamwork was critical for the plan to work, and the success of the mission was so important that they were even given replicas of the telescope to work on in their free time.
After ve years of preparation, in May 2009, Massimino was on the spacewalk looking to x the Hubble telescope. For many hours, everything that could possibly go wrong did, and it looked like he would be unsuccessful in xing the telescope.
In that moment, Massimino felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He was sure that he would be identi ed as the failure point for not being able to x the Hubble telescope. Embarrassment, defeat, and utter loneliness rushed over him as he made his way to gather the tools he needed to try one last thing to x the telescope.
ose feelings were so all-encompassing, in fact, that he could not look at his friend Feustel, who was giving him an encouraging thumbs-up sign as he passed the window of the shuttle.
ankfully, the last-ditch e ort worked, and Massimino repaired the telescope.
After returning to Earth, while driving home with his wife, she told him how, while listening to NASA communication
refer to as “rail fans” there are those who just like to see and ride on trains, some who are fascinated by the history and nostalgia and others who have a more “hands-on” approach to the whole thing. at last group are the ones who we’re going to focus on and we are going to work our way from bigger to smaller.
Some of these “hands-on” folks are the ones who wish they could own an entire railroad – the ones who look at a steam locomotive and think about how cool it would be to have one of those and the track to run it on.
I had a friend, many years ago, who actually owned and operated the train up at Heritage Square back in the day. He had several historic steam locomotives, rolling stock and his own little depot. He’d spend his days running and maintaining them, all to the delight of countless visitors. As far as “rail fans” go, this man was literally living the dream. Eventually that came to an end but at least he got to live his ultimate dream that for a while, which is more than most people get to do.
But if getting your hands on real trains and working on them is something you really want to do, that’s where the Colorado Railroad Museum comes into play. ey are always looking for volunteers to who want to work with their visitors and young families, give tours of the museum, sta the interpretive stations and share the wonder of the railroad museum for future generations.
ey also need people to work on maintaining and restoring all their vintage locomotives and equipment. So, if you want to get your hands dirty or share your knowledge with real, full-sized trains then check out their volunteer page at www.coloradorailroadmuseum. org.
Now, maybe you want to get a little more involved in building and running a railroad but just don’t have the space to put it. Well, think a little bit smaller. ere’s a club for you.
e Denver Garden Railway Society has an enormous G scale outdoor model railroad layout there at the Museum that you can work on and learn to run the trains, too. If you like to build models that you don’t need glasses to see, then go to www.denvergardenrailway.org and check that out. Or drop by the museum on a weekend now that the weather is warmer. You’ll usually nd one of the
Of course, owning your own railroad does have its complications, like having enough land to build it on or the money to buy all the trains and stu .
club members there to chat with about it.
If you start thinking a little smaller and go down to the basement, then you’ll nd the Denver HO Model Railroad Club’s layout that’s been “under construction” there since 1968. is is also a club you can join and start working on a large layout with some of the most knowledgeable people in the hobby.
Which brings me to another guy I knew, the one who was a member of the club until his wife threatened to divorce him after he spent their entire mortgage payment on a brass locomotive model. No, you don’t want to do that. Fortunately, that’s not what this club is all about. What it is about is having lot of fun with good people building and operating a scaled down railroad operation, and learning a lot along the way. You can nd out more about the club at www. denverhomodelrrclub.org or inquire about it at the Museum.
If you like trains, then check those ideas out. You don’t have to be Cornelius Vanderbilt to run a railroad.

during his spacewalk, she could hear the despair and loneliness in his voice during his struggle. Massimino agreed, still haunted by the feelings of isolation he felt before xing the telescope. e memory of that self-generated feeling of isolation started to fade as they turned onto their street, and Massimino saw how his neighbors had decorated his home in honor of his ight and spacewalk. It faded more as neighbor after neighbor talked with him, telling him about how he had been on their minds during his entire trip.
If that was not enough, the next day at the NASA debrief, Massimino learned of all the things that hundreds of ground crew had been doing to support him as he tried to solve the issues that came up.
Massimino nished his story by explaining how o -base he was in feeling utterly alone as he struggled in space, and he acknowledged the hundreds of people rooting for and helping him in his moment of struggle. One of them was literally on the opposite side of a shuttle window. But Massimino was so inside his own head that he could not see something right in front of him. In our struggles, we often feel and act exactly like Massimino.
Utterly weighed down by the heaviness of our struggle, we cannot see the support surrounding us. e rst three years of my battle with MS, I felt angry, sad, and very alone. I was wrong, many
people were working to support me, to encourage me, to love me.
I just was not seeing them. When I came to the realization of the size of the group pulling for and supporting me, it changed everything. Impassable hurdles became bumps in the road when traversed with the loving support of others.
I know your struggle is di cult, but you are not alone. Take the time to see the amazing things around you and the wonderful people there to support you. Our struggles are exponentially easier when we take them on, knowing that others are by our side.
You have got this.
I hope my words encourage you and that you will share them with those who
need support. ank you to everyone who has shared their stories with me so far; I truly appreciate hearing about the valuable ideas you nd in these columns and how you use them to uplift those around you. You can reach me at jim. roome@gmail.com.

Winning the state title will put the 2025 team in the same breath as the 2003 squad. “First time in a long time and only the second time in 150 years,” Stroup said of matching the historic 2003 state championship team. “To be one of the two Golden teams to have done this feels really special.”
It also caps o a remarkable four-year run for McBroom’s squads at the state tournament.

“People can look at it that we got the monkey o our back now,” McBroom said of the Demons winning their rst state title after multiple trips to the eight-team double-elimination state tournament.
“Ultimately, there aren’t many teams from Je co that have been down here four years in a row. I don’t see it as a failure of getting down here and not winning it. We’ve had a lot of success in these last for years.”

Antique shops across the Denver metro are more than places to buy old things — they’re spaces where history meets creativity.
Across the metro area, vintage lovers and curious newcomers alike are fueling a growing scene rooted in nostalgia, community and the thrill of discovery.
Colorado Antique Gallery
Standing at 52,000 square feet and advertised as “Denver’s largest antique mall,” Colorado Antique Gallery in Littleton is lled to the brim with unique vintage items for all types of people.
Colorado Antique Gallery is operated by President Chris Rodriguez who took ownership of the business in 2012. It is located at 5501 S. Broadway, Unit 135. “I have 275 vendors and we rent space to them on a monthly basis, and then I take a commission of all their sales,” Rodriguez said. “So most of the merchandise in the store is not ours.”
Rodriguez said the store has been operating since 1992. He decided to purchase the store after initially taking a business interest in it.
For Rodriguez, he said the best aspect of operating an antique store is the unknown of daily life.
“Every day is di erent. Every day is new,” Rodriguez said. “You’re going to run into di erent people and this is the type of business that brings out eccentric people — and it brings out just people who you may
not see on a normal day, maybe, if you were shopping in a mall.”
From Native American jewelry to speci c crystal canoes, Rodriguez said people are looking for all sorts of items and every day “is not going to be boring.”
“What also is nice is we keep all this stu from going into the land ll and we give everything a second home so they can use it again,” Rodriguez said. “We like saving stu .”
Rodriguez said he would describe Colorado Antique Gallery as “large, di erent and fun,” adding that the store has evolved over the last three decades.
Tucked in a quiet shopping mall in Aurora that includes an adult bingo venue and a hobby shop lies Heirloom Antiques Mall. Filled with various items including toys, art and more, the shop stands two stories tall.
Behind the counter, owner and operator Scott Davenport often greets his customers by asking if they’ve been in the shop, and explains the business to rsttime visitors.
e way Davenport described the store is simple but heartfelt.
“It’s just a fun place,” he said, glancing around at the eclectic mix of vintage furniture, old signage and toy collections tucked in every corner.
His business model is shaped by inclusivity and a sense of community.
“I try to o er something for everyone and I want it to be family friendly … We try to have stu that they can see and interact with,” Davenport said.
Davenport hadn’t always owned the store. His jour-
ney began as a vendor at a di erent antique shop.
“I was a dealer at another antique store for eight years. And I came in and I took a spot here. And when I brought my wife back, I stepped on the bottom stair, and I looked at her, and said, ‘I’m going to buy this store.’ And one year to the month, not to the day, I bought it,” he said.
It was a decision that would change his life.
“It’ll be 10 years in August,” he said.
What keeps him in it isn’t just the love of antiques — it’s the people.
“I like the interaction with the customers, you know — you get to know them and their families. We have so many regulars,” Davenport said.
Currently there are over 100 vendors in the shop, and Davenport said he also recently added more space to the business.
And he isn’t done yet.
“I just hope for continued growth,” Davenport said when asked what the future held.
e antique scene in the Denver metro area, according to Davenport, has seen a shift.
“I think it’s gone more vintage and more clothing. It’s better now. e younger generation has found … a greater interest in repurposing and recycling,” Davenport said.
Overkill Thrift & Consign
Overkill rift & Consign in Englewood opened its doors last year and o ers a blend of what Davenport describes as what “the younger generation” has found, including vintage clothing in various styles
something for everyone. It’s two stories with about
and some antiques.
“While Overkill primarily deals in modern second-hand clothing, we very frequently receive vintage and antique pieces from our consignors with ages ranging anywhere from 1960s to the early 2000s,” owner Megan Hartberger said. “We try to carry all the small staples that an antique store might o er, such as vintage Playboy magazines, antique knick knacks like wooden kaleidoscopes, vintage movie memorabilia items and cassette tapes.”
Located at 3041 S. Broadway, Overkill is a small but bustling purple building where Hartberger seeks to provide curated, unique fashions at reasonable prices.
Hartberger maintains a “punk rock” style herself, but like Davenport, strives to have “a bit of everything” for vintage seekers who cross the threshold of her store.
“No matter what your style is, I want you to be able to come in and nd anything,” Hartberger said. “So, you know, goth, grunge, grandma, gearhead. We’ve got it all.”
Hartberger said Overkill is partially a thrift store because it has various items under $5, including $2 bins, and much of those pieces are actually from her own personal collection.
“We (also) have consign, which means you can come in and sell your clothes with us,” she said.
“ ose are going to be our slightly higher-priced items but I still like to have a good deal.”
Overkill used to be operated under the name Inner Me with a di erent owner, and Hartberger said it had a strong customer base that she has maintained since taking over the space in May last year.
“I wanted to make something for myself to put my name on, and this place worked out,” she said.
“It’s a great location, the landlord is really awesome, and there were just a bunch of great ways to get started.”
For the fashion collector, one of the best elements of the shop is chatting with the people who travel in and peruse her bins and racks.
“My favorite aspect is just looking at clothes all day, but I have loved getting to know people who have similar style to me or just really appreciate the pieces I’ve brought in,” she said.
Overkill is also a place where Hartberger encourages people to take the quirky or eclectic and make it their own.
“Put it on. If it looks good, keep it,” Hartberger said. “Let yourself be yourself.”
Hartberger describes the thrift and antiquing scene in Denver as “thriving.”
“Broadway especially is bustling with thrift and vintage stores alike, while several antique malls can be found throughout the area as well,” Hartberger said. “ ere’s something for every budget, whether you’re looking for records, comic books, clothes or antique home decor. rift stores have these items at lower prices but require more e ort to dig for, while dedicated vintage and antique stores will be more curated at the cost of higher pricing.”
Post-concert event fills the town’s long-standing live music venue
BY JANE REUTER

Morrison Holiday Bar soundman
Tom Smith got the call in early May: e Black Keys wanted to do a Record Hang — a late-night party with the band’s two leads spinning 45s for fans — at the bar after their May 27 Red Rocks concert. ey’d provide their own security and equipment.
While the band set the Record Hang up ahead of time, the Holiday announced it on its Facebook page on the day of the event. It sold just 300 tickets — all the space it had in a room stripped of most furniture to create more space — and lled the bar to capacity by midnight.
e Record Hang wasn’t the rst time the band’s leads Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have hung out at the Holiday.
“ ey came in in 2022 and did a benet,” Smith said. “ ey really liked it and started doing it all over the country.”
It wasn’t an unusual request.
Bar owner Dave Killingsworth said artists from Red Rocks commonly drop in, sometimes just for a drink and occasionally asking to take the stage.
“Sometimes they show, sometimes they don’t,” he said. “ ey nd out about the bar. We don’t actively go out looking for anybody.”
Texas-based country band Shane Smith and e Saints do a Holiday after-party following every Red Rocks show.
Spinning singles
Black Keys’ Record Hang attendees paid $15 each to get into the 11 p.m. event. And while Smith coordinated much of it, the Holiday didn’t keep any of the ticket sales.
e bar’s sta also took on extra shifts and duties to get ready for the event.
While three bartenders were on duty earlier in the evening as the band Alibi played, three more joined them at
about 10 p.m. — when the bar closed and Smith asked everyone to leave. ey took the next hour to clear tables and chairs, making way for a mostly standing-room-only crowd. Black Keys sta also arrived during that hour, setting up its own sound system and boxes of 45s, establishing a VIP area for the band on the top deck, and checking to ensure doors were locked.
At 11 p.m., while the Keys’ were still on stage at Red Rocks, the Holiday opened its doors for Record Hang attendees. Just after midnight, Carney quietly walked onto the stage and started spinning 45s. A few minutes later, Auerbach joined him.
Neither spoke but went straight to the business of playing records, with Auerbach occasionally acknowledging the audience by raising a glass in a toast.
Finding the right sounds e Record Hangs aren’t just a way to come down after a concert. Auerbach and Carney, who are known for their love of vinyl and DJing, says it’s signi cantly in uenced their music and creative process. e Black Keys spent part of 2023 doing Record Hangs across North America and Europe, playing singles in small clubs into the wee hours of the morning, according to Billboard magazine. ey gauged the crowd’s reaction at those events, using it as market research to help tighten up their songwriting. at had a strong in uence on the 2024 album, “Ohio Players,” on which they collaborated heavily with Beck.
“Ultimately you want to nd the record that sounds like a hit that people haven’t heard before,”Auerbach told iHeart Radio in 2024. “ at’s what the goal is. So we were having this friendly competition buying records, searching for records, trying to spin records and see how they would go over with the crowd. en we would take that energy into the studio.”
For the Keys, the hunt never ends. e group’s Facebook page shows Auerbach and Carney spent part of May 24 in downtown Denver, looking for new 45s to spin at Wax Trax and other shops.
