As many of two feet cover Golden in biggest storm in years

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a week of heavy hype, Goldenites woke up to dry streets and yards on Saturday, March 13, leading to complaining and consternation that the major anticipated storm had been a bust.

But Sunday was an entirely different story as the city woke up to several inches of snow, which continued to pile up for the rest of the day. Snow totals varied with various news outlets reporting anywhere from 12.5 to whopping 24.5 inches in various areas of the city, with the highest totals concentrated to the north.

At a recent Jeffco School Board meeting, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Nicole Stewart, gave a presentation asking board members for input on where to make needed cuts in the 2021-22 budget.

The District, Stewart said, is looking at the need to make $54 million in reductions in order to balance the budget. She said district staff has identified most of the reductions but needed the board’s input on finding approximately $12 million in additional cuts.

COVID is the culprit.

“The $54 million reduction primarily is from the increase in the Budget Stabilization factor from the State. An increase in the BS factor, decreases school districts funding.

This was a direct result of COVID,” Stewart said. “Earlier in the session, it was proposed that we would be seeing an increase in funding, then when the pandemic hit, it dramatically shifted to a significant decrease. Instead of making reductions in the 2020-21 school year as a result of the increase in the BS factor, we used CARES funding to keep from having to make reductions.

However, that is not a sustainable plan, and now are having to right size our ongoing expenditures with SEE SCHOOLS, P12

NREL software engineer helps folks find available COVID-19 vaccines 750,000 unique users accessed site in less than a month

THE WEBSITE Nick Muerdter’s website scans 11 different pharmacy chain websites in Colorado and compiles the COVID-19 vaccine information at www.vaccinespotter.org/

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It wasn’t long after the first COVID-19 vaccines went into arms that NREL software engineer Nick Muerdter started hearing constantly about the difficulties faced by his coworkers that trying to set up a shot for their family members.

“It sounded like a lot of it was just so repetitive and frustrating because they would go to one pharmacy’s website and enter their location and then click on their nearest store and then click several more times to find out ‘oh, nope they don’t actually have vaccines available’ and that would just happen over and over again” he said. “I heard from people that were spending their entire day trying different stores and zip codes.”

But where most people would probably just commiserate and move on, Muerdter found himself thinking that there had to be a better way — and that he might just be able to build it.

“I knew computers can do that kind of task a lot more efficiently than humans,” said Muerdter. “So I poked around on some of the pharmacy websites and thought maybe I could try to gather that data from the pharmacy more organically.”

The result of that effort is vac-

cinespotter.org, a free website that produces a continuously updated list of open vaccine appointment slots around the state.

To search for appointments, users just enter their zip code to bring up a list of the closest pharmacies the tool can find that have open appointments. From there, they can click on a link that takes them to the website for that pharmacy to register for the appointment.

The website launched in February and immediately started getting attention — on the same day Muerdter first posted online about it Gov. Jared Polis took to his Facebook page to tell his 135,000 followers about the tool.

“Thank you, Nick,” Polis wrote in his post.

The tool has also caught the eyes of the Jefferson County Public Health and the Jeffco Commissioners, who have also lauded the tool.

But perhaps the biggest proof of the tools’s success and the need it is filling is the 750,000 unique users who have accessed it since its launch just a month ago. That number includes users from around the nation as Muerdter recently updated it to work in every state, as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“A lot of people have gotten in touch to tell me how much it has helped them after they had

struggled to find something,” said Muerdter. “Some of the best stories are when people say I was able to find something in five minutes after spending hours looking elsewhere.”

But even as the tool fills a vital need, it does have limitations and challenges, Muerdter said.

For one, it is currently limited to searching pharmacies for appointments — meaning users cannot use it to schedule appointments from hospitals or other health care providers. That’s because those providers generally function using a wait list rather than by letting people sign up for specific appointments.

Then there is the antibot technology used by some pharmacies, which Muerdter is continuously having to find new ways around by employing ever-more sophisticated means of mimicking a human user.

And finally, there is the nature of the vaccine landscape itself, which has now changed with the introduction of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine that means the site must now account for vaccines that require one shot and those that require two.

“It does require a fair amount of upkeep to try to keep things humming,” he said.

But while Muerdter is proud that his site has been able to help people, SEE ENGINEER, P24

County health head optimistic as Jeffco surpasses 200,000 shots “I truly believe we are very close as long as we can stay the pace”

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A few weeks ago, Jefferson County Public Health executive director Dawn Comstock told the Jefferson County commissioners that she couldn’t yet see “the light at the end

of the tunnel” of the COVID-19 pandemic in Jeffco but she could “see the tunnel.”

On March 11, she stayed with that cautiously optimistic metaphore.

“I feel like now we are actually starting to cross the threshold into that tunnel,” said Comstock. “So my message is just I truly do believe we are very close as long as we can stay the pace and do everything we are doing.”

Comstock said that assessment is based on both Jeffco’s relatively stable rate of new COVID-19 cases

and the increasing rate of vaccination.

For the prior two weeks, the rate of new COVID-19 cases in Jefferson County has hovered between 100 and 115 new cases per week per 100,000 in population. Those are the lowest numbers the county has seen since early October.

However, anything above 100 technically means the state has too many cases to remain in Level Blue, the second lowest level on the current COVID-19 dial that Jeffco was able to move to last one month.

But a newly-announced tweak to the dial means Jeffco will now be able to remain in Level Blue as long as it does not see its seven day case rate per 100,000 residents go above 115 cases for five consecutive days.

“Our status in blue is tenuous,” said Comstock.

As of March 10, 206,678 COVID-19 vaccination shots had been administered to Jeffco residents with 27.7% of all county residents having received at least one vaccination shot.

Zillow’s Offer to Buy Your Home for Its ‘Zestimate’ Price Is Just a Clever Ruse

I’ve written in the past about various “iBuyer” players — see my August 22, 2019, and January 2, 2020, columns on www.JimSmithColumns.com.

Basically, iBuyers such as Opendoor and Zillow Offers attempt to lure homeowners into selling their home for what appears to be a good price but which is literally designed to net the seller less than if they simply put their home on the market.

All you need to remember is that if someone wants to buy your home in order to resell it, it’s because they will make a profit from doing so. Wouldn’t you want to keep that profit for yourself?

Now Zillow has weaponized its much criticized “Zestimate” for the purpose of getting their “foot in the door” with you.

Let me share with you a few points to ponder before responding to Zillow’s pitch.

First of all, you and I both know that the Zestimate is a computer-generated number that is by definition not particularly accurate. (Zillow’s estimate on my own home is at least $100,000 over its true value.)

To facilitate their iBuyer program in Colorado and elsewhere, Zillow made big news recently when they opened brokerages and started hiring licensed agents. They have opened an office in Centennial and, as of this week, have 15 broker associates, 12 of them members of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The others belong to an out-ofstate Realtor association. So far that brokerage has put zero listings on REcolorado, our MLS, whether active, pending or closed. Presumably those 15 broker associates are busy responding to

homeowners who responded to the pitch about selling their home at the Zestimate price. If one of them signs a purchase contract from Zillow Offers, it will have the following provisions, assuming it’s like the contract from Opendoor and other iBuyer companies I have studied.

First of all, they will have agreed to a 7.5% “service fee” instead of a commission. So take that percentage off the top.

Next, they will have agreed to an “assessment of the property, which will be followed by “adjustments” to the purchase price based on “needed repairs,” including, for example, a new roof, a new furnace or water heater based on age — whatever can be justified. The example I cited in my August 2019 article came up with $38,563 worth of “repairs found in assessment.”

That was a contract with Opendoor, and it had an escape clause for the seller, which Zillow’s contract likely will too, allowing the seller to terminate at any time, which is what that buyer did. The combination of the “service fee” and the reductions to cover supposed “repairs” was so great that they called me. I listed their home for the right price and sold it above asking price, netting the seller more than they would have netted under the Opendoor contract.

I got the seller more money, because, as I said above, the only reason for Opendoor or any iBuyer to purchase a home is to sell it at the market, which requires them to purchase the home below its market value.

In the whole iBuyer segment, Zillow clearly has the advantage, because virtually every homeowner is already being

dazzled by the Zestimates they get routinely by email and, whereas Opendoor and other iBuyer competitors have to canvass and cold-cold homeowners about selling their home “without putting it on the market or paying a commission.” Zillow has what every brokerage wants — sellers are calling them! All the Zillow brokerage has to do is employ enough agents to answer the phone and arrange those in-home “selling” appointments, which are really for the purpose of listing the home for sale once it is owned by Zillow.

It’s a great business model — for Zillow, but not necessarily for the homeowner. That is, unless the homeowner is willing to give up thousands of dollars in proceeds in return for the “convenience” of selling without any showings or other intrusions in their life.

For some homeowners, that convenience is worth the loss of proceeds, and there are probably enough such homeowners to make the iBuyer model successful. What bothers me is that for some would-be sellers, it will feel like a “bait and switch” situation. They might be unable or unwilling to back out of the contract after they have made life plans based on the expectation that they’ll end up selling their home for an acceptable price.

Some such homeowners will have already signed contracts for a new home

or at a senior community on the assumption that the sale is happening. They will have already packed some of their belongings or put them in storage, and they may have told their friends that they are selling and moving. For these persons, it may be psychologically difficult or financing costly to reverse course when they discover they have been fooled into selling their home for less than its worth.

If you have responded to the Zillow pitch and would be willing to share your experience, I’d like to hear from you.

My cell number and email address are below. I’ll share what I learn in a future column.

Developer proposing major mixed-use development off South Golden Road Proposal calls for apartments, townhomes and commercial space

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Chicago-based developer has high hopes for an underutilized section of South Golden Road.

On Thursday, March 18, REVA Development will hold a community meeting to introduce and answer questions about its proposal to rezone a 13.8-acre site located across from the Taqueria Las Palmas restaurant and other businesses on South Golden Road.

The site is currently divided into multiple parcels that are zoned for either residential or commercial development. REVA Development wants to rezone the site so it can build a mixed-use development consisting of 307 apartments, 46 townhomes, commercial and retail space, and what the county describes as “public and private amenities.”

According to a PowerPoint presentation posted on Jeffco’s permit search website that will be given during the virtual meeting, the proposal calls for the development to consist of three sections.

A rendering of an aerial view of the proposed development, which is named Avere.

The first section building would include a four-story building with space for commercial, retail and “live work” use on the ground floor. The remaining floors would consist of residential units. A second smaller adjacent building

would consist of fitness center, leasing facility and additional “live work” spaces.

The middle section would consist of two L-shaped four story buildings that would consist of multifamily units. Those build-

space in that section.

The proposed 46 single-family attached townhomes would be in the third section, which would be on the northernmost area of the property. There would be a mix of two- and three-bedroom townhomes ranging from 1,500-2,200 square feet as well as attached two-car garages. The PowerPoint states that the townhomes will be constructed with quality materials and feature a “timeless architectural design.”

The property currently consists of mix of vacant space and residential properties. According to the PowerPoint, the property consists of “functionally obsolete buildings and infrastructure” and several of the structures on the property are vacant or abandoned and current uses for the property includes storage of materials and “informal boat and RV storage.”

The presentation goes on to suggest that the site represents an “underutilization of the commercial corridor along South Golden Road” and presents several other issues the development could address.

Among those problems are a lack of pedestrian connectivity and architectural character or scale. The presentation suggests the proposed development would address those issues by incorporating streetscape designs that would include landscape areas, wide sidewalks and other ele-

It also shows plans for an outdoor event space that could be used for community events like food truck rallies or farmer’s markets and touts a climbing wall that would be located on the façade of the mixed-use building and accessible to the public.

Following the community meeting, REVA Development would have one year to submit an official rezoning application for the site.

The rezoning would ultimately need to be approved the Jefferson County Commissioners at a public hearing.

Colorado Community Media reached out to REVA Development for more information about the proposed development but did not receive a response.

Sunshine laws keep government transparent STAFF REPORT

Government can be complex.

Amid a tangled web of laws, agendas, agreements, policies and political rhetoric it is rarely easy for the general public to know the inner workings of even their most local level of government.

Even small town governance can be complex, but that doesn’t mean it should not be as clear as possible for the people who live there. Transparency builds trust and understanding. It is our first and best defense against corruption and negligence.

Each and every day local reporters rely on the state’s sunshine laws to help keep tabs on those in power and to keep the public better informed. For example, county commissioners do a lot more than just sit down for their usual once-a-week meeting. Commissioners typically have a full range of meetings and events they participate in throughout the week — mostly open to the public. These include interactions like work sessions with county staff departments, and sit-down’s with various regional boards and groups.

The list of all those gatherings is

available to the public.

In Douglas County, those work sessions often included discussions about upcoming resolutions and other upcoming issues. Topics like COVID-19 recovery and the county’s stance on statewide or national issues were often discussed. After a request last year from Colorado Community Media, the county has now made those meetings available to the public virtually.

Here are some other examples about access to public information resulting in better transparency.

Only 10 days after surviving a contentious recall election, the Idaho Springs mayor was arrested and later charged with domestic violence, among other things.

The Clear Creek SherWesteman iff ’s Office took the case from the ISPD to avoid conflicts of interest. The Sheriff ’s Office released a press release with a mugshot the same day. Thus, despite being a person with political power in the community, the mayor was held accountable and his arrest

records made available publicly, just like everyone else.

— Clear Creek Courant Reporter Corinne Westeman After the Town of Parker hired a new deputy town administrator focusing on economic development, the Parker Chronicle was able to submit a CORA request for his employment contract and then report his salary, Wenzler his signing bonus and other details of his employment with the town. This provides more transparency in how the town’s government is spending taxpayer dollars.

— Douglas County Reporter Elliott Wenzler A homeowner who is a director on the Willow Bend Metropolitan District board said his fellow directors, who are all employees of the developer, kicked him out of a Zoom meeting after he challenged them with difficult questions. We wanted the meeting minutes. However, the records custodian said I couldn’t have the minutes because they have yet to be approved by the board. So,

I asked the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition’s Jeff Roberts, and he told me to ask for the draft minutes and have the custodian cite the statute that allows them to withhold the records (because no such statue exists). Adams Lo and behold, I got a copy of the draft minutes.

— Adams County Reporter Liam Adams During the COVID-19 pandemic the state health agency has provided a wealth of data about case numbers and the locations of confirmed outbreaks.

Thanks to this transparency, we were able to see that the county jail was struggling with a significant Wallace outbreak. We were able to report on the situation and kept an eye on the county’s outbreak situation and identify other places that had been struck hard.

— West Metro Editor Glenn Wallace

Can I file my own records request?

STAFF REPORT

Yes! Filing an open records request of a public agency is something everyone, not just a journalist, can do.

Definitions CORA: A Colorado Open Records Act request would be fitting for asking information from a municipality, school district or any other non-law enforcement local or state agency Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act: This law sets out

the limited circumstances under which a court, DA’s office or police department would have to disclose records.

FOIA: The Freedom of Information Act dictates the way in which someone can request public records from a federal agency.

Request form Step one in a records search is to identify what agency holds the information you seek, which will dictate what type of request you need to make. The laws differ between

states, with law enforcement agencies and with federal-level agencies, but they all start with a request.

Some agencies call for the filling out of a specific form.

The Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition also has ready-made request letter templates available on its website for CORA and CCJRA requests (coloradofoic.org/).

Hope on the horizon Residents look back on COVID-19 year, forward to vaccinated future

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Social distancing. Face masks.

Contact tracing.

When Jeffo residents were first introduced to these terms one year ago, most of them surely never thought they would still be a part of everyday life a year later.

But while COVID-19 has lasted longer — and proven far more painful and disruptive — than most people possibly imagined, its one-year anniversary has come at an important point as the increasing availability of vaccines means many residents are now experiencing a feeling they haven’t had much of lately: hope.

As Jeffco enters its second, and hopefully final, year of this pandemic that has been unlike anything anyone alive has ever experienced, a few residents shared some thoughts what they will remember from the last year and hope for in the next one.

Kristine Briganti Kristine Briganti’s fitness studio, InFit in Golden, has a normal capacity of just 35 people and a large number of older attendees.

So when COVID-19 hit Colorado

last March, she worried that her studio wouldn’t be able to stay in business. But with a lease to pay and not a lot of other options, Briganti decided she would try holding the studio’s classes online.

There were challenges at first — the studio barely qualified for any PPP grants because of the way it is structured and Briganti said she has never worked so hard in her life — but she’s been able to stay afloat with that model (which has since been modified to include limited in-person classes when rules allow).

“I’m currently hanging on by a thread, but I’ve been able to keep paying rent and maintain my lease,” she said.

As the pandemic reaches its first birthday, Briganti said she’s proud of the adjustments she’s been able to make and the many clients who have stuck with her — and who often tell her how thankful they are for the chance to stay active.

Still, it’s been tough, Briganti said, which is why she’s been heartened to see so many of her older customers get vaccinated and come to the studio in-person over the next couple weeks and is looking forward to seeing more join them soon.

“I’m hopeful that resistors will resist the urge to resist the vaccine because I think the sooner we can all get on board the sooner things will go back to what you might call normal,” she said. “I’m cautiously optimistic that we will be able to

After spending a year of staying home except for trips to grocery store and reaching out to several providers , the 86-year-old Ken Karyl resident received her first shot of the Pfizer vaccine from Jefferson County Public Health in Arvada at the end of February.

“The way it affected me I felt like someone who weighed 300 pounds was sitting on me for a bit,” she said. “But that went away after about an hour, so I am fortunate.”

Now she’s looking forward to getting her second shot in a few days and eventually resuming some of the activities she’s had to go without for the last year.

“The hardest part has been not being able to go out and get together with friends like we used to on occasion,” she said. “But I haven’t had a fearful time with that disorder so I just say thank you, God.”

Resiliency Task Force, an organization that worked together to create programs and resources to help the city’s businesses.

While the city and its businesses have hardly been exempt from the pandemic’s many challenges, the task force feels the city’s economy has weathered COVID-19 better than they would have ever thought possible given the length and severity of the pandemic.

So what’s the basis for that proclamation? The task force says the number of businesses in Arvada actually grew over the past year as the city issued 361 new business licenses while 223 businesses closed, leaving the city with a total of 3,349 businesses.

Among the new businesses that have either already opened or will soon are a location of the Apricot Lane boutique, a new version of the Kline’s Beer Hall that opened in Olde Town at the start of the pandemic and an Olde Town photo and video production studio called Kaddie Studios.

“We originally created the taskforce because our local businesses are the heart of our community and we knew we needed to act immediately in order to make a difference,” Arvada Economic Development Director Daniel Ryley said in a statement. “What we didn’t anticipate is that the impact of our fast actions would help turn our town into an area that people from all over Colorado are now flocking to.”

Golden Police participating in national bystander training program STAFF REPORT

Last summer, countless people watched the video of a Minneapolis police officer placing his knee on George Floyd’s neck and surely wondered why the other three officers at the scene didn’t do more to intervene.

Now, the Golden Police department is set to receive training that will empower officers to speak up when they feel another officer is acting inappropriately in the field.

On March 12, the Golden Police Department announced it has been accepted into the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) Project.

Backed by prominent civil rights and law enforcement leaders, the evidence-based, field-tested ABLE Project was developed by Georgetown University Law School’s Innovative Policing Program and international law firm Sheppard Mullin LLP to provide practical active bystandership strategies and tactics to law enforcement officers to prevent misconduct, reduce mistakes, and promote health and wellness. The Golden Police will be one of 90 departments across the nation in the program.

According to the release, “ABLE will give officers the tools they need to overcome the innate and powerful inhibitors all individuals face when called upon to intervene in actions taken by their peers.”

“Intervening in another’s action is harder than it looks after the fact, but it’s a skill we all can learn,” said Sheppard Mullin partner Jonathan Aronie, who chairs the ABLE Project Board of Advisors, in a press release.

“And, frankly, it’s a skill we all need – police and non-police. ABLE teaches that skill.

For Golden Police Chief Bill Kilpatrick, the move to join the ABLE Project is reflective of important priorities for the department.

“The Golden Police Department is a fully committed and transparent organization [and] I want our members to have complete support and respect from our community,” said Chief Kilpatrick in the release.

“Providing this type of training and setting clear expectations for our

officers is critical and will increase the trust our community has in its police officers and the Golden Police Department.”

Golden City Manager Jason Slowinski, Pastor Kevin Shive, and Golden United Board of Directors President Ron Benioff all wrote letters of support for the department’s effort to join the program.

“I am encouraged by the Golden Police Departments vision and strategy to be self-improving on all levels of the organization,” wrote Shive.

“I have been in direct conversations with many leaders within the department and they are passionate about ensuring forward momentum toward necessary adjustments to care for all members of our community.”

In December, Golden Police Department Commander Drew Williams was certified as an ABLE lead trainer. In February, all department officers received eight hours of evidence-based active bystandership education that is designed to both prevent harm and change the culture of policing. designed not only to prevent harm, but to change the culture of policing.

“The ABLE Project seeks to ensure every police officer in the United States has the opportunity to receive meaningful, effective active bystandership training, and to help agencies transform their approach to policing by building a culture that supports and sustains successful peer intervention to prevent harm,” said Christy Lopez in the release. Lopez is the co-director of Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program, which runs ABLE, The ABLE Project is guided by a Board of Advisors comprised of civil rights, social justice, and law enforcement leaders, including Commissioner Michael Harrison of the Baltimore Police Department; Commissioner Danielle Outlaw of the Philadelphia Police Department; Dr. Ervin Staub, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the founder of the Psychology of Peace and Justice Program; and an impressive collection of other police leaders, rank and file officers, and social justice leaders.

Ralston Valley High School sets fundraising S record in 10th annual Wish Week

F

School raises over $50,000 for Arvada boy with MDS

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cody Green is an 11-year-old who likes fighter jets, aircraft carriers, and gymnastics. In June 2019, Cody was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a rare form of blood cancer in which the body no longer makes enough healthy blood cells in the bone marrow.

After his diagnosis, Cody’s family sent his story to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps children with critical illnesses fulfill extraordinary wishes. Cody’s wish: to spend a few days on board an aircraft carrier.

Though feasible, Cody’s wish would require a fair amount of capital to bring to life. After all, renting out an aircraft carrier doesn’t come cheap. Enter Ralston Valley High School.

For the past 10 years, Ralston Valley has held an annual Wish Week, a student-led fundraising effort to raise money for Make-A-Wish Colorado. A statewide program, Make-AWish Colorado pairs participating schools across Colorado with localarea kids who have yet to see their wish fulfilled. This year Cody, an Arvada resident, was paired up with

Ralston Valley.

This year, the Ralston Valley raised over $53,000 for Make-A-Wish Colorado — breaking the school’s previous Wish Week fundraising record of $41,000, set in 2020. The tenth iteration of Wish Week, which took place from Feb. 1st to Feb. 11th, came with a unique set of challenges — namely, how to host a large community fundraiser safely amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Fortunately, Ralston Valley senior Madi Nelson and her Wish Week

committee had a plan.

Nelson, a three-year member of Ralston Valley’s student government, has been on the Wish Week committee for the entirety of her term, but was able to step into more of a leadership role as a senior this year.

Nelson said that the Wish Week committee — which is overseen by faculty adviser Jenny Braketa — came up with enough ideas for events to withstand ever-changing public health guidelines that have become the norm throughout the Coronavirus pandemic.

“We came up with lists and lists of ideas from past fundraisers that we’ve done before and tried to incorporate those virtually,” said Nelson.

“And we planned to be completely virtual and then, at the last minute, they announced that we would be in person. It was one of our first weeks back (in person). So, we moved some of the events to be in person, which was pretty great.

“We started brainstorming crazy ideas that we had never done before,” Nelson continued. “We ran it by our teachers, our principal, and Jefferson County officials to see what we could do and honestly a lot of our ideas got knocked down just because of restrictions related to COVID and safety precautions.

But the things that we were able to do we just kept going with it and cre-

ated something that was completely new and like nothing we had done before.”

Some of the events Ralston Valley put on for this year’s Wish Week included a wing eating contest, “Kiss the Lama” (exactly what it sounds like), and a class gymnastics competition judged by Cody himself.

The Wish Week festivities concluded with a virtual assembly video that featured scenes from the week’s events, updates on wish recipients from years past, and a message of encouragement for Cody from the student body.

Cody, a 2019 level four state champion gymnast, said he used an appropriate scoring system to declare the winner of the gymnastics competition.

“The gymnastics (event) was one of my favorites,” said Cody. “I saw someone do a backflip and they were using the correct form, and I chose them. And we figured out that the person that was doing it used to go to 5280 (Gymnastics), the gym I used to be at.”

In Aug. 2019, Cody received a bone marrow transplant that his body rejected. But in Nov. of the same year, Cody got a second bone marrow transplant. This time, the transplant was successful.

That was enough to make the storm the area’s biggest since possibly the epic 2003 blizzard.

Although the storm meant lots of hunkering down and shoveling for most, several residents found time to enjoy the major powder day.

Among them was Jeff Klenske, who used a new sled his family had been gifted by the owners of Bob’s Atomic Burgers to pull his boys to Golden City Brewing, where he enjoyed a pint.

“It was so fun,” said Jeff ’s wife, Heather, of the adventure. “The kids stayed dry and loved being pulled.”

Kelly Donnelly, meanwhile, enjoyed a different kind of adventure as she skied down her street.

“There’s nothing like skiing out your front door,” she said.

the ongoing decrease of funding we received.”

Stewart said the District recognizes that using reserves is needed.

“With a $30 million use of reserves and identified central reductions of $11.33 million, we still have a shortfall of $12.67 million,” she said.

Recommendations by the District Accountability Committee (DAC) advocated for those reductions to avoid three areas — cuts that would affect

classroom teachers, cuts impacting the classroom learning experience and cuts to mental/behavioral health supports.

The DAC also received a revised recommendation from the Community Budget Workgroup that called for a spend down of reserves in the amount of $34 million, centralized reductions (reductions that do not directly impact the student experience, such as Facilities/ Custodial Support, Communications/Finance/Human Resources/ Employee Relations etc), furlough days, student-based budgeting and compensation reductions, in that

While he still deals with consistent check-ups and physical therapy, Cody has his sights set on returning to gymnastics, potentially as early as this summer. As for his wish, Cody might see that come to fruition in the near future thanks to Ralston Valley’s fundraiser.

“Why I want to stay on an aircraft carrier is because I’m really into planes and how they work,” said Cody. “I also saw a YouTube video where Dude Perfect was playing basketball and staying on the aircraft carrier for three nights. And that’s also what I want to do.”

Student-led fundraisers are Make-A-Wish Colorado’s highest revenue generators, according to Development Manager Sarah Grosh. According to Grosh, kids order.

Stewart stressed that there was community engagement over the last several months in the form of an online budget survey, and members of the community dialoging with board members, that contributed to the DAC recommendations.

She said results of that community engagement helped define and prioritize the types of cuts people would be most willing to accept. It also showed which cuts they could tolerate if necessary and which cuts they were unlikely to support.

For example, community feedback showed an overwhelming resistance to reductions to school-based expenditures or student mental health supports.

The highest degree of support was for spending down reserves. There was very little support for cutting staff retention and recruiting efforts in the district.

According to the presentation, nearly 4,000 people responded to the survey. Of those who responded, 45% were staff and 55% were nonstaff.

Areas district staff said were viable options to find some of that $12.67 million in cuts include ongoing transportation, custodial services and school improvement funds.

Areas considered off-limits due to

and schools across Colorado are responsible for bringing in more funds than any other program.

Nelson credited the success of this year’s Wish Week to members of the community getting involved, especially during a difficult year.

“I think it was just the community wanting to get involved,” said Nelson. “We haven’t been able to do any events through Ralston Valley since obviously last March, so not having a prom, not having a homecoming. We got the feeder schools involved too, so we had local elementary and middle schools involved. I think it was just something that brought the community together.”

There are currently 13 children in Arvada waiting for their wish to be fulfilled. Make-A-Wish Colorado will be hosting a statewide virtual Wish Week from April 12-16 hosted by the students who make up MakeA-Wish Colorado’s Youth Leadership Council.

previous board feedback include educational research & design, and career tech education (CTE).

Other areas still on the table for one-time cuts include operations, technology, staff furlough days and student-based budgeting.

It’s possible that the District could get federal funding for next school year through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), but Jeffco has not yet completed the application process for that federal money. Stewart said part of the ESSER funds, if received, would go toward addressing learning losses due to the pandemic.

In the end, board members reached consensus in proposed areas for budget cuts: one-time tech expenses, ongoing transportation and custodial funds, at least one furlough day, an undetermined amount of capital transfer and some professional development funds.

Suggestions from the board on where to make cuts will not be final until May, allowing members to make changes to their list of cuts before final adoption of the budget.

Stewart said the next step for the district is to take the board’s collective cuts list and use it to build out the proposed budget which will come back before the board for further review in May.

Lakewood business lashes out at teachers and Colorado Kava Bar on West Colfax calls out mask wearers as losers

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bar chain with locations in Denver and Lakewood put out quite a social media statement on March 9.

“Effective immediately: Any and all grade schoolteachers who, by choice, have opted not to return to in-person teaching are hereby banned from any and all Kavasutra Kava Bar locations. Furthermore, masks may not be worn in Arizona or Florida locations. New York and Colorado are a bunch of (expletive) leftists, so they can cover their mouths with a dirty cloth.”

So said the inflammatory social media post by Kavasutra Kava Bar, which has 17 locations, mostly in Florida.

The account was not hacked. The owner of the business, Dylan Harrison, has taken full credit for it.

Initially, there was some confusion about this well, unusual approach to spreading the word about a new business policy.

However, Kavasutra quickly put to rest any doubt about the meaning of that post when it was followed it up with another.

“It has come to our attention that we may have upset some people with our last post. We’ve been reading your comments and we understand how we may have effected (sic) some of you. So, we want to be very clear: masks are for leftist losers. Teachers’ unions are trash.

Women are born with ovaries. And we are doing slams at midnight tonight.”

Unambiguous, to say the least.

Colorado Community Media

phoned the Lakewood Kavasutra location for comment, but no one answered repeated calls.

Kava is a beverage made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant. According to information on WebMD, Kava, a traditional drink among the islands of the western Pacific, is consumed in social situations, much like alcohol in western society, to promote a sense of relaxation.

Controversy is not something that’s new to Kavasutra or Harrison. According to reporting by the South Florida Sun Sentinel, in 2018, the kava chain put out a nowdeleted social media post about a ladies night promotion. The post, which ruffled feathers, stated that to participate, ladies had to have been born with ovaries. When called out on social media for being transphobic, Harrison said “The point of ladies night is to get ladies in the door so the men can bang them. If there’s no vagina then they don’t qualify because they don’t benefit the business and the plan.”

A dust-up over the comments led to a physical confrontation in one of his Florida establishments between Harrison, his wife, and two customers who took issue with Harrison’s comments. Police responded, but no charges were filed.

In another case, however, Harrison didn’t get off as easy. In 2013, he was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison after pleading guilty to manufacturing and distributing a controlled substance.

That controlled substance was synthetic marijuana sold under the name ‘Mr. Nice Guy.’ According to reporting from WPBF in Palm Beach, Florida, Harrison had been making the synthetic pot in several warehouses in Palm Beach County, when one of the warehouses exploded in 2012.

Once they end, it takes a while — fifteen minutes — for him to fully recover, and then it’s as if nothing happened.

Dogs.

(There is nothing funny about pet seizures or human seizures. However, because of Harry architecture, there has been some adjacent humor.)

I have documented the most recent ones: time of day, what Harry had done the day before and what he was doing when the seizure occurred.

Dr. Nina Clow, at Quebec Highlands Animal Clinic in Highlands Ranch, outlined possibilities based on what I was able to tell her.

All of the seizures happened when Harry was sleeping. This led Dr. Clow to one preliminary conclusion, but she wanted to test blood samples and something else before making an assertion and recommending treatment.

The something else was a urine sample.

The likelihood of that? About the same as if she had asked me to obtain a urine sample from a butterfly.

There was no reply. “`Good Mousekeeping.’”

Nothing, not even a smile.

I said, “Sorry, bad joke.”

Then I had another idea.

Would Dr. Clow be able to tell the difference between a dog sample and a human sample?

I asked. She said something about “specific gravity” which I did not understand.

Nevertheless, I felt guilty for bringing it up.

I also asked about a training pad and wringing it out into the tray.

No, because the absorption material would contaminate the sample.

Finally, I conceded. Can’t do it.

Longtime readers might remember Smitty. He preceded Harry. Near the end of his life, Smitty was incontinent. This would have been a snap.

To give you an idea: during a seizure, Harry looks like he’s being electrocuted.

It’s very difficult to watch. It’s impossible to watch.

But as I said, fifteen minutes later he’s ready for anything.

Anything except cooperating in a small plastic tray.

On the virtue of temperance

ere’s my impression of last week.

Any day before Friday: “OhmyGod meteorologist X said we could get 18 feet of snow on Friday into Saturday based on the GFS model which is notoriously more conservative than the European model which nobody is paying any attention to ’cuz it said we could get six inches of snow per hour which is of course absurd but do you think that might really happen maybe we need to go the store and load up on milk and toilet paper again.”

Saturday morning: “Those meteorologists are so dumb. I could have told them this would peter out.”

Sunday night: “I knew this was going to happen. Do we have enough milk to get through until the Texans can come dig us out?”

Meteorologists on Sunday night: Calmly sipping tea.

Seriously, people, the wide, wild, crazy swings of emotion — about trivial stuff that we have no control over — are starting to wear a little thin, dontcha think? I mean, if we have this sort of collective nutty over *the weather,* is it really any wonder that we can’t get our act together about things that we actually do have some control over?

It’s gotten so bad that one local television news reporter has taken to giving a nightly outrage forecast, trying to guess to what

The best time, she said, was first thing in the morning, “As long as you don’t get up at 3 a.m.”

I get up at 3 a.m. That’s when the paper is delivered.

It’s usually dark at 3 a.m. It’s not a good time to be in the back yard with a small, plastic tray and following a young animal of any kind in hopes of correctly positioning the tray under it.

What is a good time?

Never.

Andrea Kuhns, at Veterinary Centers of America (VCA) in Highlands Ranch, said, “What we do here is walk the patient on a leash, so we are close, and quickly place the tray under when they urinate.”

Tried it. Harry jumped as I would have if someone had placed a tray under me.

There are additional challenges.

Harry is extremely low to the ground.

This is what makes a dachshund a dachshund.

Harry is much younger than I am.

Harry is much quicker than I am.

Harry doesn’t want me or anyone else doing this.

I thought about tickling him. I know that works on some people.

Or telling him cat jokes until he laughed so hard he “participated.”

“What’s a cat’s favorite magazine?” I asked.

degree the country is going to go nuts tomorrow.

Growing up, part of my catechism was learning the Virtues: you know, Chastity, Charity, Patience, Humility. And, there’s also this one in there that I never quite understood (being 12 at the time of studying these things): Temperance. Temperance is the tendency towards or the habit of acting in a measured way. It is opposed by the Deadly Sin of gluttony, which is to indulge all appetites to full satiety.

And, boy, do we, as a society, have an appetite for conflict right now.

Sure, chastity and humility are, at least in some circles, looked at with sardonic superiority these days, hardly worthy of mention in “the best company” as desirable qualities, seeing as how they serve to deny the animal instincts of the human person.

But the real victim virtue has clearly been temperance, for while we point and “all the right people” snicker at Tim Tebow for his famous chastity, any mention of him sends people racing to their corners ready to come out swinging in defense of or opposition to Tebow.

Is it possible for us to just find some nice, calm, middle ground on a couple of things?

I know, I know — the middle ground isn’t going to get elevated to “call of the day” status on talk radio, and MSNBC is never

The greatest hits, best-of moments and bloopers of life

W

hat do we tend to enjoy more, remembering our greatest hits, our “best of ” moments, or our bloopers? It seems WINNING like most of the people I asked preWORDS ferred to reflect on their greatest hits and most significant accomplishments. However, there were also many people who shared that they love to laugh, even Michael Norton when it means laughing at themselves. They completely enjoy their flashbacks of mistakes, gaffes and harmless miscues of life.

We all have a replay button for our lives. It’s what we choose to rewind and replay, and what we want to repeat, or perhaps, avoid repeating in the future.

I think it is a fantastic idea to look back on past successes, especially as a way of reminding ourselves of the good things we have accomplished and what we are still capable of achieving. I also am

a big believer of looking back in laughter. Those times where we innocently tried to say something and used the wrong words, made a silly analogy, or know that we uttered something outrageously wrong.

Others laughed with us, and we still laugh at ourselves today.

If you are like me, the bigger the gaffe, the more your family and friends remind you of what you said, or did, that had them laughing hysterically and keep them smiling today with each retelling of the story.

Even though the encouragement is to look ahead more than we look backward in life, drawing inspiration from our successes, remembering how healthy it is to laugh and finding the balance in both sets us on a course for what we will accomplish next and what we will continue to find amusing in the future.

To underscore the above, I wanted to share a quote that I love by Jennifer Lopez, “I seriously feel like the best days are ahead, and I like the idea of getting to do everything I did before but with more knowledge, experience, and street smarts.

There’s a certain love, apprecia-

tion, and gratitude that you have at 40 that you don’t have when you’re younger, and it makes every accomplishment feel so much better.”

There are so many quotes, stories and jokes that motivate and inspire us, aren’t there? And they are all easily accessed through a simple online search. Personally, I try and find a few each day to bring me insight, inspire change, or to give myself a laugh. And depending on the content I choose, I am reminded of this thought; that as challenging and difficult as some of the seasons of life may have been for each of us, there is still more ahead for us to do. There is more ahead to share and give.

And there will definitely be more opportunities to laugh at ourselves and with each other.

So, let’s look ahead with hope, look back without regret, remember the good, and laugh without hesitation.

Here’s the last thing I will leave you with, by revisiting what we have accomplished, our greatest hits or our “best of ” moments, we can alleviate some of the pressure about what is coming next.

We can take the pressure off as we remember just how awesome we are and that no matter what happens, regardless of the changes happening around us, we crushed it before, and we will crush it again.

And the same goes for our bloopers.

We have made mistakes before, and there is no doubt we will screw up again. And when we do, let’s also remember to take a breath, smile, and maybe even laugh a little.

Heck, we might even find it appropriate to laugh a lot.

So how about you? Do you find motivation and inspiration when you draw upon your prior successes? Are you confident and comfortable enough to laugh with others and even at yourself ? Either way, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we include replays of our own greatest hits, best of moments, as well as our bloopers, it really will be a better than good year.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Do not tarnish Colorado’s gold-standard voting system

E

ven in Colorado. Who would’ve thought?

After all the (unsubstantiated) claims of voter fraud in the 2020 elections, it was a forgone conclusion that there would be legislation in states with Republican state legislatures that were instrumental in Joe Biden’s successful presidential bid to change how people vote. In several of those states, we’ve seen bills to make it harder for people to vote, to add signature requirements, to limit voting by mail and to reduce places where people can drop off ballots.

Colorado is widely regarded as the gold standard for clean and fair elections with high voter turnout.

All registered voters in Colorado automatically receive ballots by mail. They can mail back or drop off those ballots or go to a polling place before or on election day.

I must admit that when we first moved toward mail ballots, I had concerns that there would be voter fraud as ballots would be used by people other than those who they were sent to or turnout would be stifled if ballots were stolen from mailboxes.

I was wrong. It has worked great and elected election officials of both parties from throughout Colorado have been vocal advocates for how elections are run in our state.

Against that background, I have been surprised that in the first week since the General Assembly began the bulk of its work last month that four bills to make it harder for Coloradans to vote were introduced.

House Bill 1086 increases the requirements for how Colorado voters prove they are United

States citizens by requiring them to go to their County Clerk’s office with proof of citizenship for their ballots to be counted.

House Bill 1088 requires 20% of all voters to be audited each year to prove that they are eligible to vote by cross referencing voter registration records against other government documents including death certificates and property and tax records. Senate Bill 7 flips the law that all voters receive mail ballots to provide them only to people who request them and limiting early voting to seven days. Senate Bill 10 has very detailed, and likely confusing, signature requirements for people who are witnesses to other voters’ ballots.

Each of these bills have been introduced despite the fact that there is no evidence that there have been any problems, let alone voter fraud to justify their need.

They are truly solutions in search of problems.

If any of these bills become law, the likely result will be to suppress votes as fewer people will participate and more ballots will be invalidated. They will diminish Colorado’s well-earned reputation as a leader in voting rights.

As all of the bills are sponsored by minority Republicans, all are likely to die after their initial hearing. But it is still disappointing that these bills have even been introduced and will need to be considered.

Art centers want summer, not bummer

Area youth host a production of Sweeney Todd during the COVID-19 pandemic through the Arvada Center.

First year during pandemic proved ‘catastrophic’

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

s the summer season approaches, community art centers are preparing to use their “pent-up creative energy” to make the launch of summer programming as engaging as it can be, directors say. And they hope summer will mark a brighter chapter after closing a trying year

for the arts world amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I don’t want to be melodramatic or anything, but I’m an arts person so why not. The pandemic has been catastrophic,” said Marcus Turner, spokesman for the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. “The arts industries have been hit incredibly hard by this time in our lives.”

The powers of the arts are gathering people together for shared

experiences, he said. The pandemic “stripped that away from us.”

Michelle Nierling, the heritage, culture and arts manager for the City of Lakewood, said venues in particular suffered as COVID-19 canceled or restricted events.

“It’s been tough. It’s been really tough,” she said.

Limited gatherings weren’t the only setback for arts centers, said Carrie Glassburn, the acting cul-

tural director for Parker Arts, which saw budget cuts and furloughs.

Parker Arts furloughed 55 part-time employees at the pandemic’s onset, and that remains those employees’ status one year later, she said.

Some help recently came in the form of grants from the Colorado Arts Relief Grant program, which awarded $7.5 million to more than SEE ARTS, P17

ELLSWORTH forges her own path on debut album COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

Singer and songwriter Megan Rose Ellsworth experienced something familiar when she came out to Colorado from Oregon to attend the University of Colorado at Denver’s Music Entertainment Industry Studies program - she fell in love with the state.

Now as she releases “ELLSWORTH,” her debut album, it becomes clear that when she loves something, she puts her all into it. The album pulls stylistic elements from artists like Joni Mitchell and Phoebe Bridgers to create an intimate work that brings listeners in as close as a whisper for her searching stories about anxiety, growth and love.

We spoke with the musician about making the record, Denver’s music scene and more: Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

Tell me about the approach you took to your debut album?

I started singing straight out of the womb. My dad taught me how to play guitar when I was 8 and I haven’t stopped since.

I wanted this record to be the culmination of my songwriting from college, high school, breakups, love, and dark places.

This album is a look into my life as I grew up and through the often painful, awkward, and humbling transition into adulthood.

What was the recording process like?

The recording process was unlike any recording process I had before this. It was just me and my co-producer, Matt Hoffman, in his basement geeking out. With each song, we got better and better and he was a real support throughout it all. I feel so thankful for having such a great friend and mentor that believes in my music and wants to help me share it with others.

You write about fear and anxiety in several songs. What moved you to cover these topics?

I have panic disorder, anxiety, and depression and I am very open about that SEE READER, P17

700 individuals, businesses and organizations in February. Recipients included the Lakewood Cultural Center and the Arvada Center.

As they plan for the summer season, some art centers are confident they’ll be able to bring back as much normalcy as possible, while others are still weighing which programs to offer.

Alisa Zimmerman, the arts and culture manager for the City of Thornton, said the arts and culture center is ready to roll out its summer concert series beginning in June “rain or shine.”

The city will run its “creative camps” outdoors and hopes to attract people to the city’s public art installments, which are “probably our most COVID-proof asset,” she said.

She hopes by June when outdoor concerts get going, people have been able to vaccinate and feel comfortable grabbing a picnic basket and coming to a show.

Nierling said she’s proud of how creative her team was in adjusting to the pandemic, and that will carry over into this summer.

“We are planning to offer some iteration of all our popular and kind of traditional programming,” she said. “But they are going to look different.”

Some events will be held outside at Lakewood’s amphitheater instead of inside like usual, she said.

Gatherings will still be smaller.

Turner said the Arvada Center is typically a bustling place in the summers.

Parents drop children off for summer camp. The outdoor amphitheater hosts touring acts from across the country.

This summer, camps will reopen using cohorts to keep children in the same groups. The center will offer other scaled-down activities, like “front porch” concerts, where a smaller space at the center is dedicated to live music, and tables are set up similar to a bistro environment, allowing patrons to enjoy performances from local musicians.

because, let’s be honest, a lot of people struggle with mental health.

Songwriting has always been an outlet for me to express and grapple with these dark emotions that can make us feel so isolated and hopeless. Songs like, “Anxiety” and “Fight or Flight,” come from a raw and genuine place of fear and loneliness… and if just one person feels less alone when they hear my music, then I will have achieved what I set out for.

-Are you planning any perforhmances to support the album?

I am a featured artist for Indie 102.3’s Local 303 for March, Women’s History Month, and I am honored to be among such incredible women. I am playing at the Lyric Cinema on March 21 in Fort Collins, and I am playing my album release show at Lost Lake on April 1.

The Max and Ivan show

s human beings, we have come to think of ourselves as the dominant species on the planet and as such, get to feeling like we are in control of everything. Then, along comes a force of nature to remind us that in the grand scheme of the universe, we don’t really control much of anything and all we can do about it is sit back and watch something unfold, hoping for the best.

That’s pretty much what happens every time a major storm hits us, and last weekend most of us found the show going on outside our windows had us repeatedly checking it’s progress. It’s coming, it’s running late, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, holy cow-they were right, it’s huge! It was like some kind of drama on Netflix.

I guess sometimes entertainment is where you find it. I know after I write this column, I’m going to be entertaining myself by spending most of the day shoveling out of my driveway. Yes, I have a snow blower, but it’s not quite big enough to easily handle two feet of snow. Especially wet spring snow. Right now the drama for me is how far I’m going to get before I end up breaking out the old fashioned shovel.

Of course, by the time you read this column, the temperatures are going to be creeping up and hitting somewhere around 60 degrees by this weekend. If you have lived in Colorado for a while, you know how this show ends. We get these big Spring storms every year and after a week, we’re out in shorts again.

Most of last weekend’s events were either canceled or moved to a different date. I know a lot of the vaccination appointments got bumped to this weekend. So did Dirty Dogs Roadhouse’s monthly motorcycle swap meet and I’m sure plenty of other places are following suit so just check with them to see what’s going on. Everything was effected by this storm, but we had enough warning so most places came up with a contingency plan.

Although these spring storms tend to be a pain in the neck for most of us, I can tell you about two guys who think this is the greatest thing to happen since, well…Since the last big snow storm. Let me tell you about Maxim and Ivan.

Those of you who read this column regularly will probably remember that about a year ago we adopted a 10-month old Siberian Husky named Maxim and shortly thereafter found a three month old Husky that we named Ivan. Mad Max and Ivan the Terrible. Siberian — they needed Russian names.

Well, now those guys are between one and two years old, and have grown up to be pretty big boys, but are still puppies at heart. They are pretty much inseparable, play together constantly and even sleep nose to nose half the time. Now, when I say play, that doesn’t even begin to describe what these two do. If you have ever had any kind of Arctic dogs like Huskies or Malamutes, you know that they play really rough.

What’s fun for them is a cross between

a hockey game, a medieval jousting match and Mortal Combat. That’s what goes on around here pretty much all day and night. When they were a little smaller it was cute. Now they each weigh about 70 lbs. and if you happen to be standing in the wrong place when they come charging around the corner, you have 140 lbs. of dog slamming into you like the Chicago Blackhawks hitting the boards. If you have had these kinds of dogs, you also know that they have selective hearing and only listen to what they want to hear. Scolding them is kind of a futile effort. Calling them? That pretty much goes in one ear and out the other.

Now throw in two feet of snow and remember that they are Arctic dogs, bred to work in the worst of climates. Once the snow falls, you let them outside and they just won’t come in. They absolutely love this stuff and by now my neighbors are probably sick to death of hearing Max! Ivan! Get in here!…Max, Ivan, come get your food! Max…Max… Ivan…What are you doing out there?

You need entertainment this week? Just watch me running around the back yard in my pajamas and boots trying to round up these two maniacs!

Team Evergreen takes over, makes changes to mountain biking staple

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Bailey Hundo mountain bike races are going through a transformation.

Team Evergreen now offers the races, which will be June 19. The 100-mile Hundo is becoming a 100K race, and the 50-mile Fundo is now a 50K. In addition, the entry fee has been lowered to $150 or $50 with a commitment to fundraise an additional $200 before event day.

What hasn’t changed are the three mountain biking nonprofits the race continues to support: Lucky to Ride, which is dedicated to giving underserved and at-risk youth the opportunity to explore Colorado on mountain bikes; the Colorado High School Cycling League, an interscholastic mountain bike race series; and the Colorado Mountain Bike Association, which is dedicated to developing and preserving mountain biking experiences.

“We focus on providing a welcoming environment to every

“By adding the Hundo as a Team Evergreen event, we will be able to continue to … provide a stellar event experience (and) reduce rider costs while continuing to give to the organizations that the Hundo has targeted their support to in years past.”

Registration, which is limited to 400 participants, is open, and the race starts on the Buffalo Creek Trail in the Pike National Forest.

Race director Kendra Head said the Hundo and Fundo, in their 12th year, attract large crowds because riders of all abilities can participate, Buffalo Creek is one of the best single-track riding areas along the Front Range, and the event is close to Denver. The rides were canceled last year because of COVID-19.

“We are looking forward to having a very successful year,” Head said. “Everybody is really excited to be able to offer some fun for mountain bikers.”

Gallery welcomes ‘World of Color’ Renowned area watercolorist judged painting exhibition

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Terra Terminal,” a watercolor by skilled Littleton Fine Arts Guild painter Merrie Wicks, depicts what appears to be an old ferry converted to a terminal for other newer ferries to deliver passengers — location not identified, but I was reminded of the one that has carried me to visit my Marin County daughter in the North Bay area — always a highlight way to end a trip!

Juror Steve Griggs, a wellrecognized area watercolorist and teacher, chose it as Best of Show in the newly opened “World of Color” exhibit in Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton. The exhibit opened March 1 and will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays and during upcoming performances of the musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which opens later in March — on the 19th.

Griggs’ painting, “Doo Wah Diddy,” is hung to the right of the entry to the gallery and illustrates his technical skill with what is a tricky medium. Watercolors look transparent, sort of casual and clear, but one’s timing really has to

has mastered a newer way of making art that we can expect to see in increasing numbers, I’d guess. And on a large scale ...

Second Place was awarded to Brigitte Runnels’ oil painting, “Low Tide.”

Two Honorable Mentions are included in the exhibit: To Peggy Dietz’s photograph of a vase and flowers and to David George’s “Cold Ridge,” an acrylic painting.

Many of the works in this exhibit have reasonable price tags and it made me think about upcoming graduations and weddings — what could be better than original art as a gift??? Perhaps someone will be setting up a new home with an expanse of bare walls.

And, or, birthdays of loved ones keep appearing. Again, a spot of refreshing color might be so very welcome.

Help for those experiencing homelessness in Wheat Ridge

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A program to assist people in Wheat Ridge, Golden and Edgewater experiencing, or on the brink of homelessness, is looking for help through donations of hats, gloves, socks, bottled water and individually wrapped snacks.

Rebekah Raudabaugh, who became a Homeless Navigator for the three cities in December, is requesting the items to give to folks she provides outreach to during their time of need.

According to a recent municipal press release, donated items can be dropped off through April 30, at 7500 W. 29th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, in the City Hall or Police Department lobby.

Monetary donations are also welcome and can be made to the Wheat Ridge Community Foundation online.

Raudabaugh’s job as a Homeless Navigator is to find a stable home for those experiencing a housing cri-

sis. She also helps those individuals obtain the services and resources they need to keep that housing once they have it.

As a Homeless Navigator, Raudabaugh works in partnership with local business communities, constituents, metro-area nonprofits and government agencies.

According to the press release, while the Homeless Navigator isn’t able to increase available housing resources, Raudabaugh will help people experiencing homelessness identify solutions to complex health and housing challenges and support those who are seeking a path out of homelessness. However, this is not an emergency, on-call position.

The city’s press release calls for people who want to help, to consider giving to local nonprofits or agencies that serve families and individuals experiencing homelessness.

Folks can also make a donation to the Wheat Ridge Community Foundation to support the work of the Homeless Navigator.

Going to bat for misunderstood creatures Conifer based BatCREW helps bats, educates public

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

You could say members of Colorado BatCREW are batty — in a good way — about the winged creatures.

The group of licensed wildlife rehabilitators and educators across Colorado are on a mission to help bats when they are injured, sick or lost and need a helping human hand. In fact, CREW stands for conservation, rescue/rehabilitation, education and welfare.

Colorado BatCREW is headquartered in the home of Conifer’s Kathy Estes.

She started the nonprofit organization in 2010, and figures the dozen volunteers get four to six calls a day about bats in the summer and about one a week in winter.

“The majority of people in BatCREW are doing transportation and taking calls and giving advice and giving education programs,” Estes said. “There are a lot of different aspects of these animals that people don’t

understand. We are trying to change that.”

Colorado BatCREW just received a $2,000 grant from Colorado Parks & Wildlife for flight cages and equipment to keep bats during the winter.

Jim Guthrie, who oversees the grant program, says he is happy CPW can help

groups like BatCREW because rehabilitating animals is a labor of love.

“To have rehabilitators in the area to do the work to save animals is so valuable,” he said.

Tina Jackson, a wildlife biologist with Colorado Parks & Wildlife, added: “Wildlife rehabbers provide so many

amazing services for us.

Bats are impacted by lots of things — that goes for a lot of wildlife species — and rehabbers help with all of those situations.”

Sometimes young bats fall as they learn to fly, sometimes they are injured by cats or wild animals, and other times, as they try

to catch insects, they get trapped on sticky insect traps. Some are susceptible to fungi or get sick.

“They are spectacular when we get an issue (with a bat),” she said of the BatCREW rehabbers. “They always jump right on it.”

Becoming bat crazy BatCREW members came to the organization by different routes.

Estes has been a wildlife rehabilitator for decades, and she burned out on helping other animals, so she decided to specialize in bats.

“Clearly, we don’t have enough people to (rehab) bats,” she said.

Sachiko Boland of Highlands Ranch worked at the Renaissance Festival in Larkspur, and one day she found a bat on her big fluffy skirt.

“He crawled into my hand, and we look into each other’s eyes. I thought, `You are the cutest thing in the world.’ And I was in love head over heels.”

Years later, Boland was interested in joining BatCREW, and she says Estes took her under her wing “and she never let me go.” Boland spent several years as a licensed rehabilitator but is now doing more education work for the organization.

Becca Greer of Larkspur first got into bats when she was studying abroad in Australia, which is known for its large bats. Years later, she decided to get involved with BatCREW. While she is not a licensed rehabilitator, she helps with the organization’s administration and works on education programs.

Conservation The rehabilitators say bats are an important part of the ecosystem, helping to tame the insect population. The more people understand

their role, the more the bats will be left alone.

Some bats do carry rabies, which is why licensed rehabilitators have taken pre-rabies shots, and no one should ever touch a bat with bare hands.

“We’re doing a lot of work with helping with the conservation of the animals,” Estes said, including studying which species migrate and which hibernate and more.

Rescue/rehabilitation Boland talks about rescuing a bat from a glue insect trap. She used mineral oil to get the bat unstuck from the trap and Dawn dish soap to clean it off. The bat needed antibiotics and physical therapy so it could

fly again.

Estes says she has rescued bat pups from the inside of houses, bats that have fallen into swimming pools and bats that have fallen to the ground.

“We spend a lot of time working with the finders to talk through the situation and how they might facilitate helping the bat,” Estes said.

Sometimes people who find the bat can take care of the situation on their own, while other times, the bat must be picked up and transported to a rehabber’s facility for more extensive help.

Education Educating the public about bats is a major goal for BatCREW.

Boland has seen families want to keep bats as pets, and she educated them on why that is not a good idea.

“It was a good learning experience for the family,” Boland said. “They can pass the information along to friends and family.”

BatCREW members give presentations to school groups, explaining the benefits of bats and how people shouldn’t be afraid of them.

“There are a lot of happy stories with bats when kids find them,” Estes said. “I have handouts, brochures and fun packets for the kids to draw pictures. Often times, I trade a plush bat toy for the (real) bat the child has found.”

Welfare Bats are so vital to the environment that it’s important to educate the public to take care of them, the rehabbers said.

“The majority of the calls we get are happy endings,” Estes said.

“Some people want to know more about the bats, and they know it’s better that (the bat) flew away and led a happy life.”

Boland said more people are volunteering to help bats.

“People who love bats are unique,” she said. “It’s important for people to understand why we need them here.”

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!”

to herd immunity.”

Colorado School of Public Health modelers currently estimate immunity to be at about 20-25% across the state, Comstock said, with most experts estimating that a population needs to reach at least 70% immunity to obtain “herd immunity.”

The Association of Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology defines herd immunity as occuring when a high percentage of a community is immune to a disease, making the spread of the disease from person to person unlikely.

Immunity is obtained through both vaccination and obtaining antibodies from having the virus.

“We are far away from being able to go back to our everyday activi-

Vaccine: More than 80% of residents over 70 have received a shot The percentage of vaccination is much higher for the more-vulnerable elderly populations that have been the focus of early vaccination efforts with 83.5% of Jeffco residents 70 and over, and 61.1% of those ages 65-69, having received at least one shot.

But while those numbers portray a situation that has improved markedly from the end of 2020, Comstock also cautioned that the “virus is not gone” and “we are not yet according

he says his ultimate hope is for it not to be needed long term as the amount of vaccine available continues to increase and appointments become easier to access.

That process could also be helped by a new website touted by President Joe Biden in his March 11 address to the nation that sounds similar to the one Muerdter created.

“At the time when every adult is eligible (for the vaccine) in May, we will launch with our partners new tools to make it easier to find the vaccine and where to get the shot, including a new website that will help you find the place to get vaccinated and the one nearest you,” said Biden. “No more searching day and night for an appointment for your loved ones.”

Thanks to Muerdter, however, there’s no need to wait until then.

ties,” she said. “Please everyone help us get there and make sure we don’t have another peak that makes us go backwards and harms our economy.”

That message was echoed by Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper, who repeatedly referenced the importance of maintaining the community’s progress.

“The last thing we want to do right now as a community is slide backwards especially since our businesses are counting on us, our schools are counting us and certainly our community has worked so incredibly and sacrificed so much,” she said.

Although the move to Level Blue means many businesses can now

be open at higher capacities than they have in months, Comstock told the commissioners that she is cautioning against a resumption of in-person business and government meetings for at least another month or two.

Comstock said she will also be holding her breath to see whether both the increased reopening of businesses and the resumption of full in-person learning at Jeffco Public Schools starting on March 15 will have any impact on case counts.

“We have planned with the (district) and they have been incredible partners but it is still an increased risk over at-home learning,” said Comstock of the latter.

Golden loses in Sweet 16 to Steamboat but future bright Coach expects team, which had no seniors this year, to return every player

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After making a run to last year’s Sweet 16, Golden High School basketball coach Lou Vullo had high hopes for this year’s team.

But when three of the team’s most experienced seniors decided to opt out of the season because of COVID-19 concerns, that all went out the window.

“We as coaches didn’t really know what we were going to expect we just knew that we were going to inherit a bunch of very coachable kids that work hard and are dedicated,” he said. “We knew it might take awhile to get going but I thought once we got going we had potential to have a pretty good group for sure.”

However, Vullo said the team ended up became that and more as it compiled a 13-3 record and winning a first-round playoff game against Summit on March 9.

The team’s playoff run came to an end once again in the Sweet 16 two days later when the Demons lost to the undefeated Steamboat Sailors 73-58 in Steamboat Springs.

The young Demons gave the Sailors more than they could handle early as they jumped out to a 21-12 first quarter lead behind 11 points from Golden sophomore Aliou Diallo, who was the fastest man on the floor to start the game.

But the Sailors high-powered attack started to heat up in the second quarter, making 9 of 18 threes to eventually outscore the Demons.

The Sailors took the lead midway through the third quarter and never

looked back. Diallo, meanwhile, picked up a third foul near the end of the second quarter and would score only six more points in the contest.

“I think we expended a lot of our energy and emotion in the first half,” said Vullo “And then come second half I think we were kind of in foul trouble and we were trying to

get some guys in there to fill spots.”

Vullo said his team also struggled with Steamboat’s size advantage.

No. 2 Green Mountain girls hoops begins playoff journey

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Green Mountain senior Courtney Hank (33) scored eight points in the final 2 1/2 minutes of the first half to extend the Rams’ lead to 39-11 at halftime over Battle Mountain. Green Mountain went on to win 5532 in the opening round of the Class 4A state tournament.

LAKEWOOD — Green Mountain’s girls basketball knows how to deal with things being taken away from them.

It was pretty clear March 9 in the opening round of the Class 4A state tournament that No. 31-seeded Battle Mountain wasn’t going to allow the Rams’ inside duo of senior Courtney Hank and junior Avery Oaster to have their way in the paint.

“Great job by Battle Mountain to work hard and collapse on the inside and make us beat them from the outside,” Green Mountain coach Darren Pitzner said after the No. 1 Rams took a 55-32 first-round victory over the Huskies. “Luckily we have the kind of bal-

ance that can do that. They made us earn it. Congrats to Battle Mountain on a great season.”

Green Mountain (16-0 record) continued it season thanks to some early 3-point shooting by junior Shea Murphy and sophomore Jayda Maves. The two combined for six 3-pointer in the opening half with both pouring in a dozen points by halftime.

“We knew (Battle Mountain) was going to play a 1-3-1 zone defense,” said Maves, who finished with a game-high 15 points. “We were open and we take our shots when we are open.”

Murphy came into Tuesday’s playoff game with just six 3-pointers on the season.

She put in a little extra time working on her shooting from long range for the

Rams’ playoff run.

“I’ve built more confidence with my shot this season,” Murphy said. “I went and did some shooting on my own to get prepared for the playoffs so I could knock those down.”

Hank dropped the hammer on Battle Mountain (8-6) to end the first quarter.

Last year’s 4A Jeffco League MVP scored eight straight points in the final 2 and 1/2 minutes of the opening half to extend Green Mountain’s lead to 39-11 at halftime.

“When we are more discipline in our possessions that is when you see those nice inside, outside, cutting and dynamic possessions,” Pitzner said. “When we are rushed we get impatient with our shots.”

“They had four to five guys that could really shoot the basketball,” he said. “When you’ve got a six-footeight guy in the post and you’ve got guys around him that can shoot the ball you are pretty dangerous.”

The Demons fared much better while playing Summit two days earlier.

In that game Golden took a 16-point lead into halftime and would go on to win 77-60. Diallo again led the team in scoring with 21 points, although he was nearly matched by fellow sophomore Alan Acevedo, who scored 20.

While the Demons fell short of their ultimate goal this season, Vullo said the team’s youth will be an asset come next year as he expects to return every player from this year’s squad.

Vullo said he also expects Diallo, who he called the team’s most improved player this year, to get even better and, possibly, taller.

“If that happens, look out,” he said.

This season, meanwhile, will be remembered for the Demons scoring back-to-back wins against Evergreen and Green Mountain, Golden’s competition for the 4A Jeffco League title, and for going on a 10-game win streak.

For Vullo, this season was also a special one as it brought his 250th win as a Colorado high school head coach and also marked the seventeenth year he has coached a team to the state tournament.

However, he said he will ultimately remember the team as his “COVID team” and for the resilience they showed during a most unusual season.

“This is a team that definitely exceeded my expectations 100% for sure,” he said.

The Rams were able to work in some time for their bench in the second half. Green Mountain will have a quick turnaround to face No. 15 Thompson Valley in the round of 16 Thursday night at Green Mountain High School.

“Thompson Valley is very quick getting to the basket,” said Pitzner before the Rams defeated the Eagles 76-44 in the round of 16. “They are a tough match-up.”

While Pitzner had his team zeroed in on Thompson Valley, the Rams can draw from their experience last year when Green Mountain advanced all the way to the 4A state semifinals.

“After what we did last year and saw what it took, this year we are so excited and we know what is there,” Murphy said. “We are excited to do it.”

Green Mountain’s state quarterfinal game scheduled for Saturday, March 13, against No. 7 Erie was postponed until Tuesday, March 16, due to the snowstorm that dumped more than two feet of snow in the Green Mountain-area.

C. When water rights senior to January 5, 1984 to divert water from Clear Creek downstream of the Croke Canal headgate are unsatisfied, storage in the Reservoir must be curtailed or water must be substituted to the location, in the amount, and at such time as necessary to satisfy such senior right(s). Such substitution water may be provided from the Developed and Transbasin Rights or by deliveries from the points, described in subparagraphs 3.E.iv.a.-d., above. D. At times when Clear Creek water rights administration is not controlled by demands of Clear Creek rights and a South Platte River senior call is lawfully imposed against Clear Creek, Coors may substitute water to such calling South Platte right(s) as set forth in subparagraphs 4.B and 4.C above, which will be made available on the South Platte River at the confluence of Clear Creek and the South Platte River to the extent required to satisfy such lawful call.

5. Decreed uses of water stored by exchange.

C. Each of the Developed and Transbasin rights which are stored by exchange into the Reservoir may be used by Idaho Springs and/or Coors and their assignees for the uses and in accordance with the particular Developed and Transbasin decree involved (see Paragraphs 3.A. through 3.D., inclusive).

W-152 and 88CW206); Coors Golden Milling Right (Civil Action No. B-9675, Jefferson County District Court), Coors’s Underground Springs (Case Nos.

W-8036(75), W-8256(76), 88CW271, 89CW234, 99CW236 and 17CW3177; the Cosmic Decree (Case No. 88CW271), and related exchanges decreed in Case Nos. 88CW268, 88CW272 and 96CW1117 (all cases are decrees entered in Water Division No. 1, except where otherwise noted); as well as a complete water treatment, cooling, and distribution system at the plant site in Golden, Colorado. The application contains a list of activities undertaken during the diligence period and is available for inspection at the office of the Division 1 Water Clerk or via Colorado Courts E-filing. The list is not intended to be all inclusive and may be supplemented by additional evidence at any hearing in this matter. 7. Names and addresses of owners of land on which structures are located.
