Parks board to consider options for Lubahn Trail JCOS to offer suggestions at March meeting

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DeAngelis volunteered to step aside, but the District and community stood firmly behind him. He shepherded the school through years of healing and rebuilding, remaining principal there until his retirement in 2014.

So, it came as no surprise, except to DeAngelis himself, that a shuttered Wheat Ridge elementary school, turned training center for crisis response and mass casualty events, would be named in his honor.

Now, as a consultant and subject matter expert, he helps guide the state-of-the-art facility that bears his name.

The Center, originally the brainchild of John McDonald, Executive Director, School Safety, for Jeffco Schools, had previously stood for 57 years as Martensen Elementary.

“This school had been closed since 2011 and one day I was driving by and wondered if they’d let me confiscate an elementary school and turn it into a training center,” McDonald said.

And sure enough, they did. The

With its easy accessibility to central Golden, proximity to Castle Rock above and views of downtown Golden below, the Lubahn Trail seems to be a hiker’s dream.

But in recent years, the same factors that make the trail so attractive have combined to make it into something of a nightmare for the city of Golden officials charged with managing the trail as an everincreasing deluge of trail users has caused damage that threatens the trail’s stability. While most of South Table Mountain’s trails are under the jurisdiction of Jefferson County Open Space, the Lubahn Trail is property of the city of Golden.

“The trail has been around for a long time and it is in really poor condition,” said Rod Tarullo, the director of Golden’s parks department. “There’s probably a variety of reasons for that but it was never really built to today’s trail standards and we have a lot more people using our trails then we did in past years.”

One of the trail’s biggest current issues is erosion of both it and surrounding land, which is often exacerbated by damage to the trail’s rock edges caused by hikers and bikers who have taken short-cuts along the trail doing damage to the rock walls that make up the trail’s edges.

The alarm is jarring. It sounds like a high-pitched metallic banging put through an electronic synthesizer.

It jangles your nerves and causes an almost physical reaction with every pulse. The voices follow.

“ATTENTION! LOCK DOWN!…

ATTENTION! LOCK DOWN! “ It repeats, as more audio components are added to the mix.

“ATTENTION ALL UNITS! ATTENTION ALL UNITS! SHOTS FIRED! MULTIPLE PARTIES DOWN! SCHOOL IS IN LOCKDOWN!” It’s loud. Incredibly loud. Soon, screams and pleading of a terrified young girl fill your ears.

“HELP! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME! HELP ME PLEASE! PLEASE! I DON’T WANT TO DIE HERE!” There are flashing strobes, and the

sound of gunshots ring out.

It’s chaos. Hearing it, even 30 seconds of it when you know what is coming, is difficult to wrap your mind around. Add smoke filling the hallways to achieve complete sensory overload.

This is just a small sample of what law enforcement agencies, school safety personnel, first responders and others encounter during training at what is perhaps the country’s premier facility for crisis response.

In its short history, The DeAngelis Center for Community Safety has also played host to members of the Navy Seals, Air Marshals, ATF, Secret Service and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation… all free of charge.

Frank DeAngelis knows more than anyone would ever want to know about school shootings. As Principal of Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, all eyes were fixed upon the horrific tragedy that took place there, and his response to it. There had been mass shootings in schools before. But none commanded more global attention than the massacre the world witnessed that day.

In the aftermath of the shootings,

Denver metro counties move to looser rules in level yellow

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the latest ratcheting down of Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions, the state public-health department confirmed it would drastically ease the limits that allow counties to remain in certain color-coded levels of coronavirus restrictions.

The “dial 2.0” changes put Denver metro counties in level yellow, promising loosened business-capacity restrictions, according to information from the state public-health department as of Feb. 5. Some would even sit close to entering the notably low blue level.

The changes were to take effect 9 a.m. Feb. 6, according to a Feb. 5 news release from the department.

In the Denver metro area, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Denver, Jefferson, Elbert and Broomfield counties — all in level orange under the previous rules — moved to yellow under the new framework on Feb. 6.

Counties now enter level yellow starting at about 100 new COVID019 cases per 100,000 people within one week, a measure known as a county’s incidence rate.

The state’s new framework starts measuring the rate in one-week periods rather than 14-day chunks.

The line a county needs to cross to enter level red was set to change drastically in the new rules. Rather than 350 new cases per 100,000 people over a two-week period, the threshold essentially changes to 1,000. The line for level orange, the level nearly all counties were operating in as of early February, was 175. Now, it’s 600.

Level yellow’s threshold changes from 75 to 200.

Technically, the new thresholds are about 500 for red, 300 for orange and 100 for yellow over one-week windows.

Elbert County’s two-week rate sat at 236 — or, roughly, just over 100 for a one-week rate — as of Feb. 5, placing it close to entering level blue, one level below yellow, if the virus’s spread drops. Jefferson County sat close behind at 256.

The move comes as the number of vaccinated Coloradans continues to grow, Jill Hunsaker Ryan, the department’s executive director, said in an earlier news release.

“Since the dial’s last major change in November, Colorado has begun distributing COVID-19 vaccines throughout the state,” Hunsaker Ryan said in the Feb. 5 announcement. “More people now have immunity to COVID-19, including people over 70 and frontline health care workers. This relieves the strain on our hospital system.”

Compared to the draft of the new rules announced on Jan. 30, the final version of the update changes capacity limits for restaurants in level

yellow. Other than that, capacity limits remain the same for all other businesses and other settings across the dial’s levels.

Businesses certified as part of the state’s 5-Star program are still allowed to operate one level lower on the dial than they otherwise would be able to without certification, except they may not operate in level green, or “Protect Our Neighbors,” unless the county is formally in that level.

“Because caution is still a priority, (businesses in) counties in yellow with a 5-Star Business Program may only operate in blue once 70% of 70-year-olds in the state are vaccinated with at least one dose, expected to happen by the end of the month,” the Feb. 5 news release said.

The following are some of the capacity changes that businesses and other settings in level orange could see with a move to the less-restrictive level yellow, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

For a complete list of differences between all the levels, go to the

state’s COVID-19 website at covid19. colorado.gov/data/covid-19-dialdashboard and click “level restrictions” below the map.

When capacity limits are expressed as both a percentage and a total number of people, business owners and other organizers must use whichever number is fewer, according to the state’s website.

• Restaurants: Changes from 25% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less, to 50% or 50 people (or up to 150 using Colorado’s social distancing space calculator) — whichever is less. View the calculator at covid19. colorado.gov/social-distancingcalculator.

• Offices: Changes from a 25% limit to a 50% limit. Remote work is “strongly encouraged” under both the orange and yellow levels.

• Gyms/fitness centers: Changes from 25% or 50 people indoors, whichever is less, to 50% or 50 people, whichever is less.

• Indoor unseated events and entertainment: Under level orange, limits are 25% or 50 people (with the calculator), whichever is less. Under level yellow, limits are 50% capacity or 50 people while not using the calculator (or up to 100 with the calculator), whichever is less.

The new change for restaurants in level yellow — that they may now operate at 50% or up to 50 people (or up to 150 with the calculator). — is up from the previous level yellow limit of 100 people with the calculator, according to the Feb. 5 news release.

JCPH now offering vaccine to residents 70 and over At least four providers now offering vaccine to Jeffco residents in their 70s

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After previously limiting its vaccination program to health care workers and first responders,

Jefferson County Public Health will now be offering vaccinations at its Arvada site to those 70 and older.

Margaret Huffman, the director of community health services for JCPH, said in a release that JCPH’s announcement comes after Gov. Jared Polis announced he was expanding eligibility for the vaccine to teachers and those ages 65-69. However, members of those groups will not be eligible to get the vaccine from JCPH, although they

will be able to sign up to get it from other providers in Jefferson County.

“We believe we’ve come close to saturation among our Jeffco health care workers and first responders,” said Huffman in the release. “That’s good news because it means more of our frontline, essential workers are going to be protected against COVID-19 moving forward. Now, we can begin to make sure that other populations in Jeffco who are vulnerable to the virus, such as adults

aged 70 and older, have greater access to the vaccine.”

According to the release, JCPH will begin offering vaccine in limited quantities to adults 70 and older at our clinic at the Arvada Fire Protection District Training Center at 6651 Indiana Street on Feb. 3. That clinic is put on with support from the Arvada Fire Protection District, Arvada Police SEE VACCINE, P3

VACCINE

JCPH is asking those who have set up an appointment with another health provider for the vaccine to keep that appointment rather than seeking one through JCPH. Those currently eligible for the vaccine who are looking to set up an appointment should also check with those other providers regularly about setting one up as vaccine availability is expected to vary by site.

Currently, other vaccine providers in Jeffco include Centura Health, Kaiser Permanente and SCL Health. On Jan. 25, Jefferson County announced via the county government Twitter page that select Safeway and King Soopers pharmacies would begin vaccinating Jeffco residents over 70

offered as more vaccine becomes available.

“Though we will only be expanding vaccine availability through JCPH’s clinic to those 70 and older at this time and until further discussion, we are encouraged by the news that more people will be able to get the vaccine soon and we hope the efforts made by our department and within our county will help some of our most vulnerable populations with access,” Huffman said in the release.

In order to get vaccinated, eligible individuals must not have received any vaccine in the last 14 days, had no COVID-19 symptoms or positive test within the last 14 days and not been within the 14-day quarantine period for COVID-19 exposure.

Department and volunteers from organizations around the county.

The vaccine will also continue to be available to health care workers and first responders at the site.

Residents age 70-and-older can now sign up for a vaccination appointment on the Jeffco COVID-19 clinic webpage at www.jeffco. us/4247/JCPH-COVID-19-Vaccination-Clinics. The release notes an appointment is required to receive the vaccine at the Arvada site.

The limited nature of the vaccine means appointments are expected to fill up quickly but more will be

the following week. A list of Jeffco vaccination sites and links to online sign-up pages can be found at covid19.colorado.gov/for-coloradans/vaccine/where-can-i-getvaccinated.

“We’re glad to be able to expand vaccination efforts, but we know this is a long road,” Huffman said of the expansion of access at the county vaccination site to those 70-and-over. “For everyone who is waiting for their chance to get vaccinated, please know your turn will come. While you’re waiting, you can take comfort in knowing that our most at-risk and vulnerable populations are getting vaccinated in greater numbers every day, which will just get us, as a community, closer to recovery.”

Environmental Film Festival Opens Virtually This Weekend: See the Films Online!

With Golden Real Estate’s commitment to sustainability, it’s only natural that we have co-sponsored the Colorado Environmental Film Festival for at least a decade, and we’re happy to co-sponsor it again this year.

The silver lining of the Covid19 pandemic is that events like this are going virtual, making it possible for many more people (including me!) to see any or all of the films online and on our own timetable. In past years, I was lucky to see even a few of the films, especially since I also needed to man our company’s table in the festival’s Eco-Expo.

The festival runs from Feb. 12th to Feb. 21st at www.CEFF.net. The threepart mission of the festival, as stated on its home page is: Inspire: With a growing public awareness for the environment, CEFF aims to increase this groundswell through inspirational and educational

DMAR Reports Average Home Price Rose by $100K in Last 12 Months

The Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends Report, released on February 3rd by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, reveals that detached single-family homes in the metro area set yet another record for average price, exceeding $629,000 in January.

films which help motivate people to make a difference in their community.

Educate: CEFF’s films and programs help people build the knowledge and skills they need to make environmentally responsible choices.

Motivate: CEFF wants audiences to be a part of the solution to today’s environmental issues and motivates audiences to make a difference in their local environment.

This year’s festival has 75 films in 22 collections. You can buy an all-access pass on their website for $70 (less than $1 per film), a 5-collection pass for $35, or a 1collection pass for $10. As I said, you can view any film at any time during the ten days of the festival, but once you unlock a collection, you need to view its films within 72 hours.

As in past years, the festival’s films include both shorts and full-length films.

I’m getting an all-access pass and look forward to seeing as many as possible!

Although most of the films are “on demand,” selected films will be live streamed so that you can watch with the filmmaker and an audience and chat about it during the film and exchange comments, like on Zoom, afterwards.

These live streams will be archived and can be viewed on demand later.

There will also be live online “lunch and learns” (one of which is a “Vegan Fusion Cooking Demonstration”) and the Eco-Expo will go virtual too, with a few live visits to the booths of some of

Just Listed: 4-Bedroom Half-Duplex in Wheat Ridge This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home at 6520 W. 34th Ave. is $589,000 a completely updated half duplex on a quiet cul-de-sac.

It has an open floor plan with hardwood floors, woodburning fireplace, built-ins and a skylight. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, new cabinets and center island. There is recessed lighting throughout the home. All bathrooms have satin nickel fixtures, tile flooring, and tiled baths and shower. The master bedroom is bright and spacious, with a sliding glass door that leads onto a large deck overlooking green space. There are two nice sized bedrooms with a full bathroom and laundry room in the basement, plus an open area that could be anything you want it to be, including a game room, family room or home theater, with room to spare. The front entrance has an open patio and a large covered deck, perfect for your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. The attached 2-car garage has lots of storage and an exterior entrance door. This home is in a great location offering easy access to shopping. The HOA takes care of insurance, grounds maintenance, sewer, snow removal, trash and water throughout the 14-building community of duplexes. A new roof was installed in 2017.

the sponsors and “exhibitors.”

There will be an “Opening Night Watch Party” featuring a short documentary on electronic waste and a feature film, “The Story of Plastic.” At this event, awards will also be presented for the winning films in each of several categories. Again, if you miss this event, you can stream it later.

The “Closing Night Watch Party” from 7 to 10:30 pm on Feb. 20th is an exception. It can only be viewed live and will not be streamed on demand later. It includes two films, The Catalyst and Beyond Zero, that you cannot pause or rewind. These are summarized on the website. I’m looking forward to these in particular, since the first one is a 6minute film about going net zero in a home, and the second is a much longer film about a billion-dollar global energy company that committed itself to going beyond net zero by 2020. You can watch a trailer for it on the website.

The festival also has a photography component, and one of the live events (viewable later) is a keynote speech on Feb. 13th by famed photographer Russ Burden, who will show photos he took in the Serengeti.

Of the 22 film collections, several contain films on a variety of different subjects, but there are collections on individual subjects, including: Climate Change; Colorado Issues; International Issues; Oil and Gas; Public Lands and Parks; Rivers; Solar Power; Water Issues; and Wildlife. One collection is just various short films.

On the website, you can view the titles of all the films in each “collection” and read descriptions of many of them.

For exhibitors like Golden Real Estate, this year’s virtual format is a big win, because each “exhibitor” has a link

you can click on to get the “elevator pitch” for that company or organization.

In our case, you click on Golden Real Estate to view a short video tour of the sustainable features which have made our office a true “net zero energy” facility. You wouldn’t get that opportunity standing at our booth in the physical exhibit hall.

Other exhibitors you’ll enjoy learning about include GoFarm, Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, Citizens Climate Lobby, Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary, Waste Management Recycling, Population Connection, and Tower Garden by Juice Plus. I’m looking forward to seeing their videos, because in past years I was too busy manning my own booth to visit the others!

The festival has always featured films by our youth (18 & under). This year there’s a live stream at 10 a.m. on Saturday the 13th called “Filmmaking 101 for Young Filmmakers” (also viewable later). Here’s a paragraph from the website: “Any young aspiring filmmaker... can join experts from Talk to the Camera for a fun, interactive workshop and introduction to the CEFF Youth Filmmaker Festival Challenge. Submit your storyboard to CEFF by Sunday, February 21.... Winner(s) will receive mentoring from a professional filmmaker in 2021 to help you complete and submit your youth environmental film for consideration for CEFF's 2022 Festival!”

Visit the Virtual Festival Home for all the details and to buy tickets — http:// ceff.eventive.org — and enjoy all the 15th annual Colorado Environmental Film Festival has to ofer from the comfort and safety or your own home! That web page has a useful calendar showing all the events that are live streamed.

The day that changed everything

Sean Graves, Columbine survivor and DeAngelis Center manager.

A Columbine survivor looks back, to move forward

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

PHOTOS BY BOB WOOLEY

DeAngelis Center Manager Sean Graves runs a virtual training exercise in Wheat Ridge.

It started off as a beautiful day, he said. The kind of Colorado day we get in late April, when students sit outside at lunch and think about the summer ahead. It was the kind of day, he said, that he wore all of his favorite clothes — T-shirt, windbreaker, shorts, because the laundry just worked out that day. It was the kind of suburban day in a place where it seems like nothing really bad ever happens. There are things like skateboarding injuries and unrequited teenage crushes, but nothing evil, he said. It was that kind of day… and then it wasn’t.

Sean Graves remembers that day in startling detail. April 20, 1999, the day Colorado was thrust into the consciousness of the nation for a reason no one saw coming — the day Columbine High School became synonymous with deadly school shootings in America.

Graves, now 37, was a freshman, shot multiple times and left for dead that day. He was heading to Clement Park, next to the school, with friends Dan Rohrbough and Lance Kirklin. They saw the shooters almost immediately but didn’t know who they were. They saw the black dusters and tacticallooking clothing and duffel bags.

They saw them pull out the guns but kept walking toward the shooters because what was about to happen didn’t register as a possibility — even when the shooting started.

“We took notice of them pulling out weapons, but thought it was a senior prank. We’d heard rumors about something called Senior Annihilation,” Graves said. “We thought it was going to be paintball guns — seniors running around shooting paintballs.”

So, the teenage boys with no fear and a lot of curiosity forged ahead. Graves in the middle, Rohrbough to his right, Kirklin on his left. Graves said he noticed the guns were all black, unlike any paintball gun he’d seen before, and thought the shooters had probably painted them. He saw them load the magazines and fire off some rounds, but because of their vantage point, he, Rohrbough and Kirklin couldn’t actually see that the shooters were firing at students, Rachel Scott and Richard Castaldo. They didn’t know Scott had just been killed, Castaldo critically wounded, so they took a few more steps toward the shooters.

“Lance and I had come from hunting families. We’d both been around guns — we’d grown up around them. I knew what I was staring at,” he said. “When they unloaded the first magazine, we knew it was gunfire, but convinced ourselves they must have been modified paintball guns

that were using caps. Against our instincts, we pushed forward. I made one or two steps, and they opened fire on us.”

Rohrbough was hit first. A bullet that passed through him hit the ground, sending a spray of dirt into Graves’ face, but it still didn’t make any sense to him.

The shooters then sprayed them with gunfire, Graves taking a shot to the neck and three to the abdomen, Kirklin shot in the foot, leg and chest, Rohrbough fatally wounded, although Graves didn’t realize it in the moment. He said he didn’t even know he’d been shot with bullets instead of paintballs at that point.

He recalls Kirklin giving him good-natured grief for saying ‘screw this” and turning to head back into the school, having had enough of this senior prank. He was almost back inside the door to the Commons area when he was shot in the spine with a 9mm slug.

Part of the bullet lodged near his T-12 vertebrae and is still there, giving him slight issues with lead poisoning to this day. A fragmented chunk of the bullet traveled down to his hip and exited his body, creating a little puff of dust when it hit the concrete in front of him. He said it now reminds him of the line “When the bullet hits the bone” from the Golden Earring song Twilight Zone. Graves fell in the doorway, unable to move his legs, halfway inside the school, the heavy door jamming into his body.

A kitchen worker came to his aid while others were trying to pull him the rest of the way inside. She told them to stop because of his injury. She looked out to see one of the shooters coming down the hill toward the school. The other one stayed behind, firing from a stairway. Above Graves, a window shattered as a bullet ripped through it. He said one of the shooters had noticed people tending to him and had come under fire for their efforts. He didn’t know it at the time, but at that point, Kirklin had taken a shotgun blast to the face. The woman trying to help him did know. She had seen the attempted execution of his friend as she looked out from the doorway.

“The look on her face was one of horror,” he said. “Pure fear, and the scene was becoming more chaotic. People were screaming.

There was a lot of movement inside the Commons and the shooter was getting closer.”

According to Graves, people further inside the school had started to understand what was happening. He said teacher, Dave Sanders, figured it out right away.

A fire alarm went off and kids started evacuating.

The shooter moving toward the doorway stepped over Graves as he entered the Commons, stayed only for a few seconds to look around and had gone back outside, stepping in the middle of Graves’ back as he exited and walked up the hill. From there, he and the other shooter made their SEE COLUMBINE, P8

DEANGELIS FROM PAGE 1

District gave McDonald $150 thousand in seed money to clear out years of cobwebs and revamp the building into what it has become.

Far from a spider’s paradise now, the Center recently installed advanced technology making it the only training center of its kind that McDonald is aware of. As you walk through the doors, it gives off, well, an old-school vibe — and that’s on purpose. Just inside, above the main doors, a colorful mural from its days as Martensen remains.

“We kept that mural there as a reminder of what this center is all about,” McDonald said. “I want everybody to understand what we’re trying to do here.”

Perched high, throughout the hallways and classrooms, 360-degree cameras are capable of recording every square inch of the building. McDonald said they’re an invaluable tool in evaluating performance of training exercises.

“We can immediately show people what they did right and what they did wrong — what those lessons learned are. It uses a software similar to NFL instant replay software,” he said.

Next up, McDonald leads the way to what he calls a “virtual shoot house.”

A large room containing several smaller partitioned rooms, it looks decidedly more high-tech than the rest of the building.

“We’re the first in the country to have this,” McDonald says.

“It’s the first of its kind. Every room has cameras that can project a virtual event happening. You can have differ-

ent events going, or you can have one event.”

A modern take on the shoot / don’t shoot training tactic law enforcement has used for decades, this interactive version allows for multiple scenarios to occur at the same time. It also gives trainees the ability to employ lethal or non-lethal means of deterrence.

And gives them opportunities to deescalate situations when appropriate.

There are conference rooms to allow groups attending to debrief and engage in the kind of in-depth discussions McDonald says are vital to the center’s success. One such room displays the names and dates of all Colorado school shootings. It’s a long list, and another constant reminder to those who visit of the important work that takes place here.

There are traditional shoot / don’t shoot classrooms full of desks with cardboard cutouts made from photos of fourth graders in the district. Some are holding guns, others hold pens, electronic devices, whiteboard erasers and the like, there are backpacks and books and other distracting elements on desks to add to the confusion of the scene.

The final spot McDonald leads the way to is a large interactive simulation room. One entire wall is a projection screen giving trainees a chance to experience an immersive scenario controlled by a staff member, in this case, facility manager and Columbine shooting survivor, Sean Graves. On screen, actors portray victims and bad guys. The trainee tries to get control of a situation that may or may not escalate to a lethal end, depending on which way Graves thinks it should go, based on the trainee’s performance.

Sometimes it may be necessary for the trainee to shoot to kill. In true to

life fashion, there’s also a possibility that he or she can be taken out by the assailant.

For Graves, who still battles some of the injuries he sustained at Columbine, being hired by McDonald to manage the center brings things full circle.

It not only gives him a chance to work with groups of people he considers heroes, it’s also an empowering way to help those agencies achieve the best possible outcomes in future events. It’s a job he takes seriously on every level.

His pride is on full display when he tells a story of his daughter calming the fears of her kindergarten classmates during a recent lockdown drill.

DeAngelis and McDonald have consulted with other schools like Sandy Hook and Parkland in the aftermath of other tragedies. They, along with Graves and new DeAngelis

board member, Ron Mitchell, would like to believe it won’t happen again, but are resigned to realities facing this country.

“You’d better be having that conversation today and preparing for tomorrow,” McDonald said. “Because somewhere, someplace, tomorrow is going to happen.”

So, they do what they do. Push forward, think about the future, find resources to improve threat assessment and mental health and keep the mission top of mind.

At the end of the day, DeAngelis summed it up best.

“I think all of us, when that horrific event happened on that day, made a promise — we’re going to do everything we can to make sure those kids didn’t die in vain, and that’s why we’re all here.

The Bond and Capital Improvement projects: a deep dive Where things stand now with the millions of dollars entrusted to the Jeffco school district

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the Jeffco Public Schools district requested a $567 million bond in 2018, voters said yes, by a slim margin.

Over the next few weeks, the newspaper will take a closer look at the 2018 Bond and Capital Improvement Program, the 6-year project that’s overhauling, and in some cases rebuilding, schools across Jefferson County.

The program has provided many of the improvements, repairs and new facilities as promised, but critics say millions in cost overruns and a lack of transaprency have plagued it from the start.

In a series of stories the paper will explore and explain more about the bond, its finances, the construction issues, the extent to which promises have been delivered and critiquing where the district has perhaps fallen short.

The bond’s start

Starting off with a brief overview of the program and financial model used by Jeffco Schools, we’ll begin where all of the best stories do — at

the beginning.

According to Jeffco Schools’ Chief Operating Officer, Steve Bell, the origins of the program can be traced back to 2009. That’s the year the district began working on developing a comprehensive plan known as the Summary of Findings. Bell said the document provides the District with a foundation to evaluate all of the buildings in their asset base.

“We determined that we needed to spend a lot of time and some resources to develop a master plan for our district going forward by evaluating the condition of every facility that we had, what the needs were — and those are evaluated on 12 systemic features within each building,” he said. “In that Summary of Findings, there’s something called an FCI, which is a Facility Condition Index that gives us a numerical evaluation for the condition of each building.”

In 2016, Jeffco Schools also created a District-wide Facility Master Plan to coincide with a bond measure that was going to be on the ballot that year. According to Tim Reed, the District’s Executive Director, Facilities & Construction Management, the 2016 plan looked at all of the District’s facilities, determined what their deficiencies were and recommended closures and consolidations.

The 2016 bond measure was rejected by voters.

But the Master Plan was dusted off and changes were made to the document in an attempt to make a

bond measure more palatable to voters in 2018. Although there is some overlap between them, the Summary of Findings and Facility Master Plan are two different documents.

They were not created for the same purpose, Bell said.

On Nov. 6, 2018, Jeffco voters approved the measure known as the Jeffco 5B Bond Request, by a margin of less than 2,000 votes.

By passing 5B, Jeffco voters gave the thumbs-up to increase property taxes over several years in order to fund a $567 million dollar bond issuance.

A school bond issuance is a type of loan. The District gets a large lump sum of money up-front and taxpayers pay it off with interest over several years. The money, in this case, $567 million comes from the sale of bonds purchased by investors. Bonds, especially highly-rated municipal bonds, are considered to be a safe investment.

They’re also tax-exempt, which makes them even more attractive to certain investors. In some cases, market conditions make investors willing to bid up the price of the bond on the open market. In other words, investors pay more for the bond than its face value. That extra money investors pay is called the premium.

Because of IRS rules requiring 85% of bond money for capital projects to be spent within the first three years, the district wouldn’t have been able to spend the money fast enough if it issued all of the

bonds at one time. So, Jeffco Schools issued the bonds in two phases. In 2018, the district issued $325 million in bonds and made an additional $50 million in premiums. That gave the district the money to start multiple projects. In the fall of 2020, Jeffco Schools issued the remaining bonds, and because interest rates had fallen to an all-time low, the premium came in even higher at $68 million.

To be clear, the premium is extra money that came as a result of both planning and good luck when the bonds were issued.

One sore spot with critics is the ways in which the district has seen fit to use the premium money and an estimated $11 million in bond interest A huge chunk of the money for the Capital Improvement Program, comes from the bond money. Another big source of funding comes from a process called capital transfer. In this case, the district is transferring $20 million per year for the bond project’s six years from the general fund, into the bond program. Capital transfer dollars are spent each year for maintenance and upkeep of the district’s buildings.

If you add the $120 million from capital transfer to the $567 million from the bonds, plus the $118 million in premiums and throw in the $11 million in interest earned, it amounts to the lion’s share of funding for the overall program — $816 million. There may be a bit more SEE SCHOOLS, P7

Mother Cabrini Shrine holding capital campaign to fund renovations Funds will be used to expand chapel and gift shop STAFF REPORT

The Mother Cabrini Shrine has launched capital campaign that will be used to renovate and expand the chapel, gift shop and retreat spaces at the shrine.

Officially named the Heart of Jesus Capital Campaign, the campaign is seeking to raise $4.5 million. It has already raised $2.7 million, according to a press release from the shrine.

The shrine is located at 20189 Cabrini Blvd., off of US 40 west of Golden.

A video on the shrine website explains that work on the shrine’s facilities will be divided into multiple phases. The first phase will include the construction of “a new and larger gift shop” on the first

Subsequent phases will involve the creation of new seating space in the rear of the chapel that will allow seating in the chapel to be expanded to over 400 people with moveable walls to expose and hide that seating as needed. The project will also involve the addition of 14 additional bathroom stalls, the installation of a new elevator and the construction of a new parking lot with 95 spaces east of the building.

“The Shrine is visited by well over 100,000 visitors annually,” said Sister Roselle Santivasi of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, which maintains the shrine. “The renovations will allow us to better meet the needs of our visitors who come for retreats, to attend mass, and to find solitude and joy in the Shrine’s beauty and holiness.”

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

AAG Area Sales Manager, Jarred Talmadge, says, “As your local AAG team, our goal is to provide you with information and never pressure you.

We’re here to answer your questions and give you guidance. If that means you want to work with us, great. If not, that’s okay, too. The best part? We are local, right here in Denver!”

way into the second level of the school. Graves said he laid there, bleeding out from his wounds.

He smeared blood from his neck around his body to make his plan of playing dead more convincing if the shooters came back, and listened to the sound of gunshots and pipe bombs going off.

“I realized they were above me in the library. I heard nonstop gunfire — not really rapid, but more spaced out,” he said. “I’d bought a Cherry Coke before everything started and dropped it as I fell in the doorway.

I was getting so thirsty and I kept looking at that soda, trying to reach it, but I couldn’t.”

Graves was able to get his backpack off and push himself backward enough to look behind him to see what had happened to his friends. He could tell Rohrbough wasn’t moving.

“Lance looked up. I didn’t realize he’d been shot in the face. I knew he was alive,” Graves said. “He kind of opened his mouth and was spitting out lots of blood. I remember watching him and I said “Oh, Lance.””

Graves said the next thing he knew, he was being hit in the top of his head with shrapnel from a nearby wall as the gunmen fired at a 20 lb. propane bottle directly in front of him, trying to blow it up.

It had been placed there earlier, by the shooters. He said with every piece of shrapnel that hit his skull, he flinched and he feared the gunmen would realize he was still alive.

“Then there was a sound like a giant fireball,” he said. “I remember hearing another explosive go off and that entire commons lit up a brilliant shade of orange. There was a wave of intense heat — intense flames.

Sprinklers started going off, and they’re still shooting trying to set off bombs.”

At that moment, Graves said he was starting to feel cold and tired.

He prayed, “Please let me live and let me walk again.” He was chanting those words when he blacked out.

Long road of recovery

A brave but harrowing rescue by members of nearby Littleton Fire and Rescue Station 13 would follow.

Graves and Kirklin were put into the same ambulance initially, but the two friends were separated at a triage station a few blocks away from the school. Kirklin was sent to Denver Health, and Graves to Swedish Hospital. Upon his arrival, he

was rushed into surgery and would spend more than 100 days hospitalized, between Swedish and his time in Craig Rehabilitation Center.

For years after that, he went from school to rehab every day.

Paralyzed from the shooting, Graves spent the next three years in a wheelchair. After being told he’d probably never walk again, and that if he did, it would be with braces and crutches, he was motivated to prove the doctors wrong. At his graduation from Columbine, he stood up from his wheelchair and walked across the stage to receive his diploma.

He’s undergone 48 surgeries and other procedures since the day that changed everything. Now, with a wife and young daughter, and having spent years working through the range of emotions that came with that tragic day, he’s found a light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Making a difference

The school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was triggering, he said.

The STEM shooting in Highlands Ranch made him angry. That’s when Graves, who’d previously been Colorado’s Ambassador for the Christopher Reeve Foundation, an organization dedicated to research of spinal cord injuries and improving the quality of life for people impacted by paralysis, decided he needed to do something else to help make a difference.

John McDonald, Executive Director, Jeffco Public Schools Department of School Safety, asked Graves about coming to work for him after the two of them had several interactions while planning the 20-year memorial of the Columbine tragedy. Graves now spends his days as a manager at the Frank DeAngelis Center for Community Safety, working at the facility created to support law enforcement and school safety training and tactics for mass casualty events.

He said he wanted to give back and believes in the Center’s mission wholeheartedly. He loves being a part of a group of people he looks up to as heroes, saying it’s fulfilling to his soul.

“Every single person that works for the Department of School Safety will give their life to save anyone’s child,” he says. “They’re the most caring people you’ll ever meet in your life. They’re passionate in making a difference — in keeping a child from being killed or injured. I used to avoid the fact I was a Columbine survivor, but now I’ve learned to embrace it. The universe wants me right where I am.”

Fire forces evacuations of homes, golf courses

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

High winds and dry grass led to evacuations in and around Bear Creek Park in Lakewood on Feb. 7.

Fire investigators with West Metro Fire aren’t sure whether it was intentional, or accidental, but they say the wind-driven grass fire near Morrison Road and Bear Creek Boulevard which burned an estimated 400 acres has been ruled man-made.

It started before 2 p.m. and forced the evacuations of the nearby Fox Hollow Golf Course, the clubhouse at Homestead Golf Course and nearby homes. The zone extended from Morrison Road to Hampden Avenue and from C-470 to Kipling Street.

TRAIL FROM PAGE 1

The situation has gotten so bad that the parks department now considers the trail’s current configuration unsustainable and the city’s parks, recreation and museums board is now looking into options to address the situation.

Tarullo said that while this process is still in its early stages, there is no shortage of options when it comes to what the city could ultimately do about the trail.

“We could go in and redesign the trail to more of today’s standards which would probably require some level of relocation,” he said. “We could close the trail, or we could potentially make a loop of that trail to go up towards the top of the city’s property and then connect it to the Olivine trail, which is just to the south.”

Unlike the Lubahn Trail, the new Olivine Trail, which connects a lower portion of the Luban Trail to the Old Quarry Trail further to the south is on Jefferson County Open Space land.

Among the challenges with the trail are the nature of its location and topography, which Jeffco Open Space spokesman Matt Robbins said is not suited to lots of traffic and makes addressing damage caused by shortcutting particularly difficult.

“It’s really hard in locations with that slope and that type of soil component to get anything to re-veg there,” he said. “It’s not a place where you can sprinkle some seed and have it grow back — it faces to the south and west so it gets a lot of sun and just gets beat up.”

On Feb. 2, several members of the city’s parks board met with staff from JCOS to walk the trail, assess the damage and discuss some of

The evacuation center for people and their pets was Bear Creek High School.

An employee of a nearby ice rink said employees had to close the windows of the facility because of the smoke and described the scene as “apocalyptic.” Winds gusted as high as 45 mph at times. The National Weather Service posted a high-wind warning through 5 p.m. Feb. 7.

The 400-acre fire caused no reported injuries. Flames were as high as 40 feet in places.

Crews from the West Metro fire district as well as the Fairmount Protection District, Aurora Arvada and Golden districts were on scene.

Aerial support wasn’t be available because of the windy conditions, according to fire officials. those options.

Robbins said the plan is now for JCOS officials to create a document outlining what JCOS thinks can and should be done with the trail and present it at the parks, recreation and museum’s board March meeting on March 18 at 6 p.m. That meeting will be accessible via the city of Golden website.

While the trail is under city jurisdiction, Tarullo said the city feels it makes sense to consult with JCOS on possible options because that agency has more expertise managing hiking trails like the Lubahn.

While erosion is the most pressing issue when it comes to the sustainability of the trail itself, Tarullo said concerns about the lack of parking at the trailhead (which is located near homes just north of the intersection of 18th Street and Belvedere Drive) and the common usage of the trail as a means of getting to Castle Rock would need to be addressed in any decision making process about the trail’s future.

The latter is a concern, Tarullo said, because Castle Rock is located on private land and the city does not want to imply that it is OK for the public to trespass on that land.

That challenge was underscored by an online survey that found that 253 respondents say they use the trail to access Castle Rock, the second most chosen of the five options for reasons for using the trail listed on the survey after exercise.

Tarullo said the survey also confirmed that there is a lot for the city to take into account, as feelings appear to vary greatly depending on “if you are a Mines student trying to get to Castle Rock or someone living in the neighborhood there.”

However, there was one takeaway that stood out above the others, Tarullo said.

“I think it showed that there are a lot of perspectives and views but that the trail is well-loved,” he said.

Jeffco man shown in video at Capitol insurrection charged One video appears to show man holding a baton across officer’s neck

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Jefferson County man who an FBI agent says is shown on video participating in multiple attacks on police officers during the Jan. 6 insurrection is facing a criminal charge.

According to a complaint filed in Federal court, Jeffrey Sabol was first contacted by police on Jan. 11 in New City, New York after local police received reports about a vehicle driving erratically. Sabol was found inside covered in blood and with lacerations to both his thighs and arms.

The complaint states that Sabol told the officers that he was wanted by the FBI and had been “fighting tyranny at the U.S. Capitol.” He also told them that his wounds were self-

inflicted and said “I am tired, I am done fighting.”

The next day, officers spoke with Sabol at the Westchester Medical Center, where he was treated for his injuries. According to the complaint, Sabol told officers during that conversation that he had been at the Capitol wearing a brown Carrhart jacket, a black or gray helmet, a big green backpack and black gloves.

Police again spoke with Sabol the next day and asked him to review multiple videos taken during the riot. In one video, a man wearing those same clothes is seen holding “an instrument believed to be a police officer’s baton” across an officer’s lower neck as a group of people grabbed the officer and dragged him down stairs.

In another video, the same man is seen pulling an officer down the stairs while he appears to punch his back. The same individual is also seen attempting to grab the leg of a different police officer.

According to the arrest complaint Sabol confirmed the video showed

him wearing the same clothes he had previously described to the officers. The complaint goes on to state that Sabol told the officers he jumped over a barricade and dragged a police officer down the stairs.

Sabol also acknowledged that the video appeared to show him “throwing punches at the police officer.”

However, Sabol told police he “covered the police officer for his safety” while others hit him with poles.

Also according to the arrest complaint, Sabol told officers that about 15 minutes later, a “call to battle was announced” to which Sabol said he answered because he is “a patriot warrior.” Sabol told police that he later took a police baton out of an officer’s hand and used it to protect an officer who was on the ground.

Sabol was shown a still-photo showing a police officer with Sabol holding a baton over him. According to the complaint, Sabol “acknowledged that the photo looked bad. Sabol said he could not recall if he hit the officer because “he was

in a fit of rage and the details are cloudy.”

Sabol was charged with obstructing the officer during a “civil disorder.” According to the Denver Post, Sabol was ordered held without a bail during a hearing on Jan. 22 after the judge determined he was a flight risk and possible danger to the community because he had tried to take his own life after the riot. Prosecutors also said there was evidence Sabol had tried to flee to Switzerland, where he could not be extradited back to the US. A search of the car Sabol was first contacted in came up with Sabol’s passport, an airline e-ticket and a rental car agreement as well as the jacket and backpack shown in the video.

A LinkedIn page shows Sabol as having worked as a senior geophysical manager at Kemron Environmental Services. Calls to the company about Sabol’s employment status were not returned.

A voter registration website shows that Sabol, who is 51, is registered to vote in Kittredge.

Youth Hockey coach charged with sexual assault Suspect has multiple ties to Jeffco ice rinks and leagues

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jesse Miles Davis, 45, of Idledale, Colorado, has been arrested on suspicion of sex assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In his arrest affidavit, Davis is described as the Director for the Colorado Girls Youth Hockey League.

A witness, whose name has been redacted in the affidavit, stated her concerns that Davis is with teenage girls, “All day, every day.”

Davis’ social media accounts show him to be a frequent visitor at the Edge Ice Arena in south Jeffco, and also refer to him being a youth hockey coach with his Instagram account listing him as “Director, Rocky Mountain Hockey Schools.”

The Rocky Mountain Hockey Schools website has no current mention of Davis.

According to information in the arrest affidavit, the charges against Davis stem from an alleged assault that took place June 13, 2020, at his home. Although heavily redacted, the affidavit alleges Davis brought a half-full bottle of Fireball Whiskey into a tent where two underage

girls, his girlfriend’s daughter and her friend, were having a sleepover in his backyard. He is accused of allowing the girls to drink the whiskey until both were intoxicated and then sexually assaulting the friend of his girlfriend’s daughter.

Davis The affidavit states the group had also been smoking marijuana in the tent.

In the affidavit, the alleged victim states that earlier in the evening, the group had been watching a movie, eating, drinking wine and occasional shots of whiskey. She said she and her friend had already been feeling intoxicated when they went into the tent for the night. Approximately 30 minutes later Davis came back into the backyard from his house and invited himself into the tent.

The alleged victim states that after they finished the bottle of whiskey, she was very intoxicated and felt like she was going to be sick. When investigators asked how drunk she felt, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being sober, and 10 being extremely drunk, she replied she was definitely a 10.

Davis was in court Feb. 5, where he was formally advised of charges against him. His case is set for a preliminary hearing March 3, at 10:30 a.m.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Not so open spaces

I was disappointed to hear on the news of closure of several Open Space trails in Golden for six months beginning Feb 1. Reported reasons were to allow the local elk herds privacy for birthing and to limit disturbance to nesting raptors on the Table Mountains.

Elk have become a common and welcome sight in the Golden area.

These elk chose to move into our area in recent years, and we have embraced their presence. Why give them extra protections when there seems to be no evidence that they need it?

Likewise, local birders have long known of nesting raptors in the cavities of rock faces from Red Rocks to the Table Mountains. The birds haven’t seemed bothered by our presence up until now; so why is it suddenly a problem?

Are these closed areas Open Space trails or an animal refuge area? At a time when we are all suffering from the isolation brought on by the Covid pandemic, it has been a joy to see our parks and trails full of people eager to get out, but respecting the hazards of crowds, taking to the outdoors. Closure of these trails at this particular time seems especially insensitive. Open Space management should rethink the decision to close such vital areas with flimsy justification. I also urge the Jefferson County Commissioners to examine the mission of the Open Space program to ascertain that program managers are following their mandate in spirit and fact.

My dog’s name, Harry, is a homophone and a homograph. To “harry” means “to persistently carry out attacks on.”

If it’s scary enough, a roller coaster ride can be “harry” too.

Tom freakin’ Brady

ust enjoy it. True greatness doesn’t come around very often.

I know, I know. I live in Denver, I’m a die hard HITTING Broncos fan. I’m not supposed to say HOME nice things about Tom Brady. But, come on — we’ve rarely seen anything like this.

Jack Nicklaus won 18 major tournaments, his first at the age of 22 and his last at the age of 46. In that span, Michael Alcorn he won 18% of all the major tournaments played.

Until the gap between #17 and #18, he never went more than two years without a major tournament victory. It was sustained excellence unlike anything the professional golf world had ever seen. And, yes, Tiger Woods was more dominant in his time, winning 14 majors in his first 12 years as a pro. But then he took 11 years, um, er ... off … before getting his next win. No question of his excellence — it just wasn’t as sustained as Nicklaus’.

Wayne Gretzky was pretty good, too. In his time in Edmonton, “The Great One,” won four Stanley Cup Championships with the Oilers.

Now, there are plenty of people who have won more than four championships. But none of your Jordans, your Kobes, your Serenas, have had the same impact on the sports

they play that Gretzky did. Gretzky completely changed hockey, from a game of individuals controlling the puck and trying to take on an entire team for a goal, to one in which the puck moved around the ice, with everybody having a touch until someone was in the perfect position to score. Just to highlight how much that philosophy changed the game, consider this: if you take out ALL of the goals Gretzky scored over a 20-year career, he would still be the highest scoring player in the history of the game (in hockey, you get credit for making a pass that sets up a goal).

Which brings us back to Brady.

No position in professional sports is as important, or as celebrated, as the quarterback position. And, in his 21-year career, Tom Brady has led his team to the Super Bowl 10 times, winning 7 of them. To put that in perspective, no TEAM has ever won more than 6 Super Bowls (including the Brady-led Patriots).

The odds of Tom Brady leading his team to the Super Bowl in any given year (48%) is better than the odds of Steph Curry making a 3-point shot (43%); the odds of Brady winning a Super Bowl in any given year (33%) is better than the Nuggets’ 3-point shooting this year (just kidding, it only seems that way).

Just since the retirement Tom Brady’s greatest rival, Peyton Manning, he’s gone on to play in three more Super Bowls, and win two of them, with two different teams.

That is sustained excellence.

But there is a pile of hate directed at Brady, and that baffles me. Sure, some of it is homerism, and some of it is related to various cheating scandals. But, let’s be honest, most of it comes from a nearly reflexive societal disdain for greatness. It’s jealousy.

We assume that the greats get that way by stepping over people, by taking things away from other people, that it is somehow unnatural and unfair for some to achieve at that ridiculous level while others … don’t.

But Brady didn’t step over people to get where he is —he lifted his teammates up; he doesn’t take anything from anybody —he gives of his time and energy to focus on the big goal; and there’s nothing unnatural…

OK, of course there’s something unnatural about it. But, if you read about his training regiment, you’d understand what he does to produce it.

Perhaps it’s time to stop being jealous of greatness, and simply sit back and enjoy it. Maybe learn from it. We’re not likely to see it very often again.

P.S. Also true of many other aspects of life. Envy is a bad foundation for a life philosophy.

t may not seem like it, but things are starting to improve little by little. Our county has moved to a Yellow level so that means restaurants and bars can go from 25% occupancy to 50% with plenty of social distancing guidelines in place. That’s really good news for me because it means that some of the places that usually have live music are starting to dip their toes in the waters and are booking bands for the rest of February and March. None of them have quite solidified their schedules yet, but stay tuned here for some updates. Right now most of them are looking at booking smaller bands or solo musicians because operating at 50% is still going to tax their budgets quite a bit. Luckily one of the bands I regularly work with only has four guys in it, but my 21 piece jazz orchestra isn’t going to be appearing anywhere soon.

Which brings me to a point I wasn’t to press here for a moment. Yes, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, and for those of us that live here, that means good things are coming. For those people living in New York City, the light at the end of the tunnel is still just New Jersey, so things haven’t changed much from their perspective.

But brighter things on the horizon doesn’t mean we can let down our guard even though things are opening up again.

Last summer, things were looking better for a little while, but then they got worse. We had a few bookings trickling in and here’s what I could see from my vantage point sitting behind a set of drums looking out on the whole room. The John Akal first thing I noticed was this kind of half hearted attempt with people in the clubs wearing masks around their necks, under their chins. Granted, you have to drop your mask to eat or drink, but people were seeing friends, giving them hugs and talking in close quarters with out pulling their masks up. The result was everything shutting down again. Big spikes in the virus. Unfortunately, one of the results for me personally was three musician friends of mine actually contracting and dying from the virus.

The fact that people seemed to feel free to come up to the stage to make requests without wearing their masks was probably a contributing factor to their deaths. In the case of my band, Nightwolf, we actually roped off the whole stage and made people stay behind the rope. Sure, we would have like to better interact with people that were enjoying themselves, but we

also wanted to keep making music for many more years. We found ourselves operating in this weird self preservation bubble. Trust me, when we do manage to get back to work this Spring, we’ll still be pretty cautious.

Which brings me to another point.

Mask shaming. What the heck is that?

Well, that’s when you wear a mask and get into places with a lot of people who don’t take this whole thing seriously and start questioning why you are wearing a mask. This happened to my wife and I when we went to a “celebration of life” for a good friend who recently passed away. There were about 100 people there, and only 4 of us were wearing our masks. People were hugging and crying and whatever else usually goes on at a funeral, but these weren’t just family members, the guy had a lot of friends. The thing that really rattled me was when we had a few people come up and ask us why we were wearing masks. They asked us if it was some kind of political statement. Political statement? No, it’s a “we don’t want to get sick and die” statement.

To paraphrase our current president, here’s the deal … none of us like having to wear masks. It’s a total pain in the neck. Its hard to breathe,

half the time you forget to grab one in your car and end up storming back to get one when you are halfway through the parking lot and remember. They fog up your glasses. Wearing them sucks. So does having to wash your hands 20 times a day. Not being able to react in a normal human level with other people is also really annoying. But, it’s also something we have all incorporated into our daily routines. After a year, we have all gotten used to it.

So, even though the vaccines have started to arrive and things are opening up a little more, lets keep this on the right track, OK? It’s just a few more months. We can do this. Think of it as a preservation effort. We want to preserve the ground we have gained so let’s not give up now. If you want live entertainment back, then do your part to ensure that we don’t go back to shutting everything down again, OK? Its all up to us.

OBITUARIES MATTHEWS

William “Bill” Matthews Aug. 30, 1942 - Jan. 8, 2021

William “Bill” Matthews, 78, passed away January 8, 2021 at his and Betty’s home in Cañon City with Betty and their dog, Cloe by his side. Bill was born August 30, 1942 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado to William and Martha Matthews. He was the youngest of four children, and the only son. The family later moved to Golden, Colorado where Bill graduated from Golden High in 1960. He enlisted in the Navy and traveled around the world before returning home to Colorado, where he married Jackie Bryant in 1963.They raised two children, Michael and Linda.

Bill started working with his father and grandfather’s drilling company in the coal fields of northwestern Colorado, learning the trade and eventually running the business as a thirdgeneration craftsman. The Company, Golden Drilling, prospered for many decades. Bill was well known as one of the best mountain drillers in the western United States. He worked and contributed to the success of many of Colorado’s most important infrastructure projects, such as the Eisenhower and Johnson Tunnels, many trans-mountain water tunnels, and most of the state’s major dams and reservoirs. Bill also completed numerous exploration drilling projects for many mining companies throughout the Rocky Mountain West. In later years, after he sold his company, Bill continued working as a master driller at a national geotechnical construction firm,

mentoring many young people in the profession.

As a native Coloradan, Bill loved the mountains and outdoors.

He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved exploring back country jeep roads, and old mining camps.

After Jackie passed in 2011, Bill began a new chapter of travel and adventure with Betty Pardee. They enjoyed RV camping with Cloe, many hours riding their ATV and spent much time enjoying the southwestern United States.

Bill is survived by his significant other of 10 years, Betty Pardee; his sister, Jean, of Denver; daughter, Linda, of Cañon City; son, Michael (Manal), of Brush, Colorado; grandchildren, Amanda, Kayla, Anna, Sarah, Taylor and Everett; greatgrandchildren, Linley, Jovi, and Amelia.

Bill will be greatly missed by his family and the many, many friends and coworkers he made during his life. His ashes will be scattered in the mountains as per his wishes.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to Fremont Regional Hospice, 1439 Main St., Cañon City, CO 81212 or the charity of your choice.

Services have been entrusted to Holt Family Funeral Home.

Stories of romance reflect unique challenges, opportunities

O

n Oct. 21, Chuck Coughlin was visiting his wife’s grave in a Boulder cemetery when he noticed a woman visiting her husband’s grave.

He saw her name — Marj O’Reilly — on the tombstone next to her husband’s and made a comment about how her first name was similar to his mother’s.

Not the best pick-up line, O’Reilly later joked.

The two struck up a conversation and found out they had a lot in common, and decided to meet again soon.

Before long, the two were in a relationship, and on New Year’s Day, Coughlin proposed. They recently set a date — June 11 — for their wedding.

All because they bumped into each other at the cemetery last October, O’Reilly said.

Just like their meeting, Coughlin and O’Reilly’s relationship during the pandemic has been unique.

And they’re not alone.

COVID-19 has forced couples across the Denver area to confront serious topics, such as health and politics, early in a relationship while eliminating many activities they might do on dates.

“Pandemic dating kind of expedites dating 10 times over,” said Blair Nelson of Denver, who met her boyfriend virtually last spring. “… We often joke that we’ve been together almost nine months, and it feels like we’ve been together for three years.”

Meanwhile, how to meet each other’s friends and family has varied from couple to couple, with many saying they’re taking precautions while others said they haven’t taken any.

Coughlin and O’Reilly, who live in Lakewood and Broomfield, respectively, have taken precautions by meeting loved ones virtually or outside with social distancing.

“Our families live so far apart,” Coughlin said, “I’m not sure it would’ve been any different (without the pandemic).”

O’Reilly felt that, by now, they at least would have connected more with their family members who live in Colorado, particularly over the holidays.

Nelson and her boyfriend, Patrick Marlin of Idaho Springs, have taken similar measures. Marlin met most of Nelson’s friends and coworkers virtually while Nelson met Marlin’s family outdoors at hikes and bonfires.

Nelson and Marlin have also driven to Texas twice, and quarantined both times.

“We’ve been very careful when

we’re in public or traveling,” Marlin said, adding that they wear masks and clean their hands frequently.

“We haven’t gotten COVID yet, but some of that is probably luck.”

Stars rising in Lakewood talent show

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

O

ne of the things so many have been yearning for during the last year is a sense of the familiar - the comfort of things that have been happening year after year and can be counted on to deliver fun and enjoyment.

So, when the annual Night of the Stars talent show series that happens in cities all over the state had to be put on hold in 2021, Lakewood decided to step up.

“Getting back to normal will take time, and the technology we have been able to install in our theater is helping us stay connected in a different yet wonderful way,” said Nathalie Renfroe, cultural programs coordinator, in an email interview. “Con-

nection and participation through this hybrid (in-person/virtual) model is helping us find this balance that will serve our community.”

The resulting event is the Lakewood Rising Stars Talent Show, which will be held on Saturday, March 13. The city is accepting audition videos through Friday, Feb. 26. The contest is open to any who wish to participate, not only Lakewood residents. Selected contestants will perform live on stage at the Lakewood Cultural Center on the 13th.

Solo and group auditions will be accepted in two groups: for children under 18 and for adults. There is a $5 fee per entry, and contestants can submit a two- to four-minute

audition video in the following categories: voice (includes singers performing to a recorded track), music (includes any instrument or combination of instrument and voice) and variety (includes dance, comedy, spoken word, martial arts and other movement).

“Performances we have seen over the years range from comedians, ventriloquists, martial artists, hula-hoopers, Irish step dancers, drum kit soloists and even sand animation,” Renfroe wrote. “This is the first time we have extended the age category to include adults, so I am excited SEE READER, P15

Finding things to do

Nelson said the pandemic prompted her to take a more serious look at her love life and have a greater interest in a relationship.

However, while other couples said they met through dating apps and websites during the pandemic, Nelson knew that wasn’t for her.

Instead, she took the premise behind online dating, and applied it to her professional network. She described how, in May, she sent out a very honest and vulnerable newsletter-like email about herself and what she was looking for in a partner to 110 people, asking if they knew anyone who would be a good fit.

Marlin’s cousin was one of the recipients and set them up virtually, as Marlin was actually in North Carolina.

As a someone in business-tobusiness sales with a part-time bartending gig, Marlin recalled spending a lot of time alone in his apartment, and getting an email one day about Nelson.

The two described how they texted for a few weeks before their first phone call.

In July, Marlin packed everything he could in his car and headed

to see who participates.”

Contestants’ performances will be rated on four criteria (presentation, showmanship, level of skill and overall performance) on a scale of 0-5 points in each category for a total of 20 points. Gift card prizes will be awarded to the top three highest overall scores from all participants.

Due to COVID restrictions, there will be limited theater seating for those hoping to catch the performances in person, but the Lakewood Cultural Center theater is equipped with cameras to offer the performance live through a private livestream link.

“The hope is that contestants are able to share the talent they are passionate about and to share a fun and meaningful experience with others,” Renfroe wrote. “Audience members always are excited to cheer their

back to Colorado. The two had planned their first in-person date on July 17.

It didn’t go well.

Marlin recalled how the restaurant they went to had terrible food and drinks, so they left, got groceries and cooked at home.

“I think it was too much pressure after months of talking,” he continued.

However, things went much better after that, and because of the pandemic, Marlin described how they would spend a few days together rather than a few hours on a date.

Hiking, biking, skiing and camping have been very popular activities for Marlin and Nelson, as well as others. As for indoor activities, couples said they’ve also spent time cooking; doing puzzles and coloring books; and playing card, board and video games together.

“It’s hard to get reservations and capacities are limited,” Nelson said. “We didn’t have ballgames or concerts or the ease of spontaneity.

We really had to plan and be intentional about things.”

In each other’s bubble

While they hadn’t contracted COVID-19 as of late January, Marlin and Nelson said they’d dealt with a few potential exposure scares and subsequent quarantines. They’ve discussed the likelihood of both person on stage, watch all the wonderful talent that is presented and to see who will win first place.”

Those wishing to watch the contest can purchase limited theater seating or livestream options. For information and to submit an entry, visit www.Lakewood.org/TalentShow.

Love reigns at Cherry Creek North

With Valentine’s Day just a few short days away and many indoor date options not safe during the pandemic, Cherry Creek North is turning on its love light to create some perfectly seasonal ambiance and activity options.

Love Cherry Creek North will be running throughout February and will feature more than 600,000 twinkling lights lighting the areas 16 blocks.

of them getting it if one of them contracts it, and decided they’re going to support each other if that happens.

Arguably, the bigger concern has been keeping their loved ones safe, explaining that they were going to quarantine for a week before visiting family in late January.

Other individuals in relationships, especially those who live alone, consider them and their significant other as in the same bubble, so if one of them gets COVID, they’ll probably both get it.

Coughlin and O’Reilly had to confront that reality in mid-November, when O’Reilly tested positive for COVID-19. Coughlin never had symptoms but later tested positive for antibodies.

While they’ve certainly been concerned that they gave it to each other, Coughlin explained that, at that point, they’d never spent time in close quarters together. All their meetings had been outside or socially distanced.

Thus, they’re not sure where O’Reilly contracted it.

All throughout their relationship, the two have been emailing and video-chatting almost every day. They also went hiking and walking together a lot.

“I think (COVID-19) made us more cautious with each other,” O’Reilly said of their initial interactions.

Now the two, who are both in their 70s, have received their second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and are looking forward to getting married in June.

Both of them came from very happy marriages, and their widowhood was something helped them bond so quickly and deeply. Coughlin and O’Reilly also both lost their spouses to cancer-related complications in March 2020 and December 2018, respectively.

Finding someone who understood that loss and who was able to support them through it was providential, they described.

“I was so blessed to find this woman,” Coughlin said. “The chances of finding each other are so low.”

Likewise, Marlin and Nelson described how, after spending months alone in their apartments, they were thankful to have someone in their lives to support them, especially through job loss, stress and anxiety, and other pandemiccaused issues.

“I think we are so much stronger,” Nelson said of being in a relationship during the pandemic. “… It’s hard but it’s definitely been worth it.”

New taco truck up and running on South Golden Road Denver couple launches Salsas La Huacha

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 20 years working in restaurants, Edna Guzman was feeling ready to launch her own operation.

“Of course, I am a Mexican lady,” said Guzman. “And I’ve always liked cooking and trying Mexican flavors and combining them with some of the American things.”

But when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, she began to feel less confident about her plans.

“We were kind of afraid of opening because suddenly we started having this virus around and we weren’t sure if it was a good idea,” she said. “But we were like `well, we’re going to have to.’”

So last week, Guzman and her husband, Francisco Estrada, debuted their new taco truck, Salsas La Huacha, at 17025 South Golden Road. It’s a location that’s no stranger to food trucks dishing out Mexican fare as it was previously the longtime home of the Bonfire Burritos trailer before that beloved Golden business moved into a permanent location at 2221 Ford Street at the end of 2019.

More recently, it was the location of a food truck called Tacos

spot because of the pandemic but they were unsure whether Tacos with Altitude would continue somewhere else.

“I don’t know if they have still have a business or not,” Estrada said.

A message to the Tacos with Altitude Facebook page inquiring about the status of that business was read but not responded to.

While Guzman and Estrada live in Denver, they say they wanted to open their business on the west side of the metro area because that is where they have mostly worked.

The menu at Salsas La Huacha is simple with three options for tacos: asada (grilled sirloin tips), pastor (marinated pork) and veggie (a spread of black beans, marinated cauliflower, red onions and cilantro).

“There’s a bunch of different alpastors out there but I think our recipe is pretty good,” said Guzman. “I was trying lots of them and this one became really, really good.”

There are also quesadillas (called huachadillas on the menu) and a cooler full of Mexican soft drinks. The truck also serves breakfast burritos and tacos stuffed with eggs and meat in the morning.

The menu will also likely grow overtime, Guzman said.

“I’m thinking of adding barbacoa and some others,” she said.

“It really depends on what people are willing to try because we’re Mexicans and we do like a lot of things on tacos.”

The truck’s name is a reference to a popular term in Guzman’s Mexican home state of Guerrero that means both “young woman” and “orphan.”

The logo, meanwhile, depicts a young woman wearing a hat that is popular in Guerrero.

While Guzman and Estrada are focusing on their truck for now, they say they hope the business is successful enough to someday open a restaurant.

“Not exactly a big place but yeah like a small place with tacos and cuisine that is like we do in Mexico,” she said.

So far, Guzman said business has been steady, although she hopes it will expand as the weather gets warmer and COVID-19 dies down.

“The first week was pretty good,” she said. “We had a lot of the neighbors come. Maybe they were surprised to see the trailer or maybe it was the smell.”

Governor’s powers, health care reform to take center stage

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Issues hanging over the 2021 session of the Colorado General Assembly include: Republicans’ objections to the governor’s far-reaching powers during the pandemic; an expected attempt by Democrats to advance a type of health care reform known as the “public option”; a slate of gun control bills; and a push to treat cannabisbased medicine the same as any other medication in K-12 schools.

As if the state Legislature didn’t have enough on its plate during the ongoing economic downturn wrought

by COVID-19, other high-profile proposals are sure to draw heated debates at the Capitol.

State lawmakers convened for a three-day session in January, approving a handful of bills that — among other measures — renewed certain pandemic-related tax credits and retooled a relief program for minorityowned businesses in light of a court challenge that called its race-based criteria discriminatory.

Now, after a delay meant to protect against COVID-19, the Legislature is expected to return on Feb. 16 to continue this year’s legislative session, the roughly four-month period in which bills are passed.

Asked what his biggest targets are for the session, Republican Chris Holbert, state Senate minority leader, said with a laugh that his goal is “to not be asked that question.”

“It’s mathematically impossible to have goals unless the Democrats”

agree, Holbert said, noting that Democrats still control both the state Senate and House and the governor’s office.

In Colorado’s third year of total statehouse control

by Democrats after the 2018 election, here’s a look at the proposals likely to grab attention.

‘Not about the man named Polis’

After an 11-month stream of nearconstant executive orders related to the coronavirus, Republicans such as Holbert, the state senator from Parker, are questioning whether a governor should have such a longstanding expansion of authority.

But Holbert draws a careful line: A Republican proposal may focus on how long a disaster emergency declaration — which can give a governor broader powers — can last before the governor has to depend on the state Legislature to extend it. But the proposal isn’t so much about changing the authority itself that exists under such a declaration, Holbert said.

However, Holbert did call into question the type of rulemaking that has come via state order during the pandemic.

He says he’s heard from constituents in Douglas County who assume Holbert decided that hair salons could only open at a certain percentage of their capacity or 10 people, or less, citing the type of public health rules Colorado has seen throughout the pandemic.

“I had nothing to do with that, and people want to know why,” Holbert said, arguing state lawmakers should have more say. A proposal might include giving the Legislature an opportunity to review rules made by executive order, he added.

“Right now, I think we understand that we don’t have that authority,” Holbert said.

Senate Republicans intend to float either a state-law or constitutional proposal — if it’s a constitutional change, it would come as a referred measure to state voters — to ask about the timeline for future statewide disaster emergencies, Holbert said.

“Should the Legislature have to (weigh in) in 30 days? Sixty days?

Ninety? Six months? A year?” Holbert asked.

The senator framed the issue as centered on future potential emergencies — no matter who the governor is. “This isn’t about the man named Jared Polis,” Holbert said.

If Republicans were to target Polis’ current authority “relative to where we are right now, Democrats would kill that in (legislative) committee. So that would be a short conversation,” Holbert said.

But he took issue with Colorado’s classification of certain businesses as “nonessential” or noncritical, a move that placed them under restrictions other “critical” businesses were spared. He heard of a tobacco store in the Parker area that attempted to stay open against pandemic-related orders, while nearby, big-box stores were able to sell tobacco.

“So it wasn’t the product, and it wasn’t the size of the store because you could see small liquor stores, and for some reason those were essential.

A person could visit a small cannabis dispensary (in Arapahoe County),” Holbert said.

A potential proposal could arise on that matter, Holbert said. He added: “Again, not to interfere with what Polis has done now or to criticize him, but in the future, why can’t small (businesses stay open)?”

State House Speaker Alec Garnett thanked the governor for his ap-

The issue of medical cannabis has persisted as a sticking point for years in Douglas County, where the local school district has received pushback from a Highlands Ranch family over a student’s need for medication at school. [Took the next graf from a December 2019 story by Jess Ellis] Ben Wann has epilepsy and uses hemp oil to treat his condition.

In the event of a breakthrough seizure, or a seizure that occurs despite his epilepsy treatment, Wann relies on a nasal spray containing small amounts of THC, the main psychoactive component in marijuana, which he is not allowed to store at school.

Republican Chris Holbert, of Parker, plans to push a bill that addresses the use of medical canna-

proach in responding to the pandemic.

“If we want to have a more robust discussion about the Legislature’s role and how this is all supposed to work in the next pandemic, I don’t think it’s an appropriate time (for that) when we’re toward the end of this crisis,” said Garnett, a Democrat of Denver.

“I don’t want to cast any disparaging light on what this governor has accomplished,” the House leader added.

Health care focus amid virus

Democrats heard during election season that health-care costs remain a “No. 1 priority” for Coloradans, Garnett said.

“There is no doubt that the pandemic has underscored the gap in health (care) for Coloradans,” with costs standing as a hurdle for families trying to make ends meet, Garnett said.

Last year, Democratic lawmakers envisioned a type of “public option,” which would have added a government-overseen program alongside current private health insurance.

Supporters of a public option say it would drive costs down by creating more competition for private companies.

The state government would have overseen the program, but private insurance carriers would have administered it and held the financial risk, according to a fact sheet by the state, which referred to the plan as a publicprivate partnership.

The pandemic upended last year’s legislative session, but Democrats are back this year with a modified proposal that tweaks the possible Colorado public option — and tries a less government-driven approach first.

Dubbed the Colorado Health Insurance Option, it’s what’s known as a total-cost-of-care proposal that would set cost-reduction goals for health insurance premiums that Coloradans pay.

Under the plan, insurance companies would negotiate reimbursement rates — the amounts that insurance SEE LEGISLATURE, P19

bis in K-12 schools. He referenced Wann.

“He’s not the only kid. There are lots of kids and parents out there” facing the issue, said Holbert, the state Senate minority leader.

The senator’s proposal would require that in a K-12 environment, a doctor’s recommendation for cannabis-based medicine would be treated the same as a prescription for any other kind of medication.

It refers to cannabis in non-smokable form, Holbert said.

State House Speaker Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat, hadn’t heard about the proposal yet but called it promising.

“The most important thing is that kids have the medication they need to overcome those challenges and be as successful as possible,” Garnett said. He added: “It sounds encouraging, and I look forward to talking to the minority leader about that.”

Crow tries again on bid to close gun loophole

BY MICHAEL KARLIK THE DENVER GAZETTE

U.S. Rep. Jason Crow has reintroduced legislation to close the federal firearms loophole exploited by the out-of-state woman who prompted school closures in spring 2019 throughout Colorado after law enforcement considered her “extremely dangerous.”

The Closing the Loophole on Interstate Firearm Sales Act, which Crow has termed the Colorado Loophole Act, would prohibit a federally licensed firearms dealer from transferring a long gun to a recipi-

companies pay out — with hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other health-care industry entities to enable the lower premium costs that consumers would pay, according to Jarrett Freedman, spokesman for state House Democrats.

The proposal would put the totalcost-of-care model in effect for years 2023 and 2024, and if the proposal’s insurance premium-reduction goals aren’t met, then in 2025, a plan for a Colorado public option would take effect.

That system in 2025 may look more like a traditional public option compared to last year’s idea, with the government entirely running the pro-

ent who does not live — or whom the seller believes does not live — in the state where the business is located.

“Almost two years ago, children and families across our state were terrorized by the threat of yet another mass shooting, a tragedy that Crow is all too familiar in Colorado,” said Crow, a Democrat from Aurora. “This threat could have been prevented by treating shotguns and rifles the same way we treat handguns.”

In that instance, an 18-year-old

woman who was reportedly obsessed with the 1999 Columbine High School mass murder was deemed a credible threat, according to law enforcement, based on her comments and behavior. Around the time of the 20th anniversary of the tragedy, she flew to Colorado and immediately purchased a shotgun.

While her home state of Florida restricted such purchases to persons age 21 and older, Colorado had no similar bar. Law enforcement found her dead of an apparent suicide near Mount Evans after several school districts took the extraordi-

nary step of closing amid the threat.

Crow first introduced the proposal in the previous Congress. His office noted that out-of-state travelers can still purchase long guns and shotguns under the bill, but the weapons must first be shipped to an arms dealer in the purchaser’s state for a background check.

Crow represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Aurora and part of Adams County, among other areas.

gram rather than overseeing private insurers’ administration of it.

But if insurers are able to meet the goals, any creation of a state-backed public option would be delayed until the targets are no longer met, according to a fact sheet on the plan.

Individuals and small employers would be able to purchase insurance through the plan, the sheet says.

Holbert argued that if lawmakers want to make health care more affordable or accessible, they should “get government out of it.”

“They like to call it the public option, but it’s government interference and it’s price controls, and it means that some or most will pay more while fewer will pay less,” Holbert said.

Stakeholders in the health care industry have said they share the goal of cost reduction and want flexibility

to meet them rather than having the state “force anything on top of us,” Garnett said.

“What we’re trying to do is set goals for price reduction that are going to help Coloradans. Give insurers the option to work with hospitals and pharma and different players in the industry to set premiums … to achieve a goal,” Garnett said.

(affect) law-abiding citizens,” Holbert added.

For Garnett, the focus is partly on Colorado’s suicide rates and preventing suicides that involve a firearm, he said, adding: “We all support the Second Amendment.”

“I really don’t understand why these proposals seem to be as partisan as they are,” Garnett said. “The goal is to improve responsible gun ownership.”

The House speaker called the proposals “narrowly focused” and ones that have been beneficial in other states. He argues they’ll be tailored to address the outlined goal, as with 2019’s Extreme Risk Protection Order bill, Garnett argued. That’s known as Colorado’s “red flag” law.

“The number of talking points around the ERPO have not come true,” Garnett said.

‘Citizen control’

Three gun-control bills face good odds in the Democrat-led Legislature: This year could see proposals regarding requirements for storing firearms safely, a waiting period for purchasing firearms, and a duty to report lost or stolen firearms.

Holbert characterized the proposals as “citizen control” bills.

“They don’t really seem to do anything about criminals but seem to

Cougars hold on to exorcise Demons EHS almost saw an 11-point lead evaporate

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@EVERGREENCO.COM

Jackson Mott made it a point to slow down and focus on his breathing every time that he stepped to the charity stripe Friday night at Lo Hunter Gymnasium at Evergreen High School.

The senior guard was calm and collected as he tickled the twine time and again in the eighth-ranked Cougars’ boys basketball game against No. 4 Golden.

“The emphasis this week in practice was our free throws. I think we’re shooting like 50% as a team,” Mott admitted.

Well, actually, it was 48% heading into the top10 showdown, but who’s counting. Apparently, both Evergreen and Golden were.

Fortunately for the homestanding Cougars, they made just enough, scoring their final eight points from the free-throw line in a crucial 43-40 victory.

The win kept Evergreen undefeated in the 4A Jeffco League at 2-0 (3-1 overall) heading into Feb. 30’s allimportant showdown with Green Mountain, but it also snapped a string of six losses in the past seven meetings against the Demons.

However, it wasn’t easy.

Evergreen, which trailed only once all night - 2-0 just 18 seconds into the contest - methodically built an 11-points lead three times in the fourth quarter, the final time at 39-28 with 2 minutes,

53 seconds remaining.

The game appeared to be over at that point but nobody told the Demons that.

Golden went on a 9-0 run while the Cougars missed free throw after free throw five straight to be exact - and turned the ball over on an inbound play in the backcourt.

Alan Acevedo’s 3-pointer with 1:03 left pulled the Demons to within 39-37 before Jared Stiller hit two free throws 17 seconds later for the eventual winning points.

Even still, the Cougars weren’t out of the woods

until Acevedo’s desperation 3-point try - after an offensive rebound - hit the side of the backboard as time expired.

“Golden’s a good team. We were kind of expecting that.

They’re a really good team, really well-coached,” said Mott, who finished with a game-high 19 points, including 9-of-12 from the foul line. “Obviously, those free throws didn’t help us, but I think we did a great job of closing them out at the end of the game there.”

GOLDEN — Evergreen’s girls basketball team scored a season-high 61 points Feb. 5 at Golden High School.

The Cougars were locked in a defensive battle with the Demons through the first half, but Evergreen (3-1, 2-0 in Class 4A Jeffco) turned it on offensively in the second half to take an eventual 6142 victory.

“I think it really was important when they went out of their zone defense. It definitely was causing us a bit of an issue,” Evergreen sophomore Jameson Mott said after the Cougars had

back-to-back 19-point third and fourth quarters Friday night. “When we are driving and kicking it out we play better.”

The Demons (1-4, 1-2) were hanging midway through the third quarter, but when Golden tried to put more defensive pressure with manon-man defense the Cougars took advantage. Evergreen went on a 15-2 run to end the third quarter to push its lead to 42-24.

Mott led all scorers with 23 points, including three 3-pointers and going a perfect 4-for-4 from the freethrow line. Senior Nicole Levine poured in 18 points for the Cougars. Sopho-

more Bella Reece came off the bench to contribute 10 points.

“We wanted them to go man (defense),” Evergreen coach Maddie Hornecker said. “It exposes so much with Nicole and Jameson.

Then, Bella scored 10 points when we were able to push the ball and get layups. That was huge to that run.”

Golden did make a few pushes in an attempt to cut the lead to single-digits in the fourth quarter. Senior Erika Dowell led the Demons with 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.

Just barely.

Acevedo finished with a team-best 14 points. Richie Pruett added 11 for the Demons (3-2), who lost at home to Green Mountain two nights earlier.

“We knew going into the season that we’re awfully young. I have no seniors at all. We got majority juniors, a couple of sophomores and a freshman, so we knew that we’re going to get some growing pains as we go through this,” said Golden head coach Lou Vullo, who couldn’t have asked for more from his team.

“They’re tough and they’re gritty, and they do fight down to the end.”

The victory was Evergreen’s third straight since a one-point loss in the season opener to No. 3 Longmont.

Griffin Lauritano added 12 points for the Cougars, who left the door open multiple times in the final minute for Golden to either win the game or send it to overtime. “(Golden’s) a great basketball team. They’re a great basketball program,” Lauritano said. “… I know how tough those guys are.

They’re really well-coached. It’s never going to be an easy win when you play against those guys. To come out even with any kind of win is a huge boost.”

and Anna Kennedy combined for 23 points, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the win.

“We have really been focusing on teamwork,” Mott said. “Without a crowd it’s much easier to hear people talk and communicate.”

The Cougars’ lone loss so far this season was a defeat against 5A Jeffco’s Chatfield.

Evergreen gets a shot at No. 2 ranked and the defending 4A Jeffco League champs — Green Mountain — on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

“It’s a psychological battle sometimes,” Hornecker said of facing Green Mountain.

“We want to play our game. It’s still a basketball game. How can we attack? Make the most out of it and maybe come out of there with a win.”

Green Mountain (5-0,

3-0) has been on a tear so far this season with double-digit victories against every opponent, including a 95-6 victory Friday night against Alameda International.

The Rams went 12-0 in conference play last season on their way to advancing to the 4A state semifinals. Interestingly, Green Mountain last league loss came against Evergreen back on Jan. 16, 2019.

“I don’t think we should be nervous at all,” Mott said about squaring off against Green Mountain next Wednesday night in Evergreen. “I don’t think we should psych ourselves out or anything. We are ready to battle. We just have to play together, play as a team, play as a family and we’ll get it.”
