A line of cars stretching through a parking garage near the Lakewood Wadsworth RTD station may have been the happiest place in the city on a rather dreary Wednesday morning last week. Because inside each of those cars, members of a group with high risks for COVID19, who’ve been a bit under the radar, were finally able to get their first vaccination shot.

After remaining stagnant for a month, Jeffco’s COVID-19 case numbers started a new uptick on March 17 that is putting the county at risk of having more restrictions imposed on it by the state and creating new concerns for county health officials.

At the end of February, Jeffco’s COVID-19 rate of new COVID-19 cases and two other key metrics were low enough that the county qualified to be moved to the second least restrictive level on the state’s COVID-19 dial, Level Blue.

Since then, the state has tinkered with the dial so that one of the criteria for remaining in Level Blue is that the seven-day new incidence rate of new cases in a county cannot exceed 115 per 100,000 in county population for more than five consecutive days.

Following the move to Level Blue, Jeffco’s seven-day incidence rate had hovered between 100 and 115 new cases and only exceeded 115 on one day. But the situation took a turn for the worst on March 22, when the seven-day incidence rate reached 131.4, the highest it had been since late January. The rate had been gradually increasing from 97.8 on March 16.

The seven-day average remained at 131.4 on March 23 before dropping slightly to 130 on March 24 and SEE COVID, P8

Pandemic circumstances drive major increase in car thefts in Golden, throughout metro area

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the calendar turned to March last year, COVID-19 cases weren’t the only thing that started going up in Golden.

Car thefts also saw a marked increase both in the city and throughout the Denver metro area, a trend local law enforcement experts attribute to everything from the pandemic’s impact on everything from county jail space to the way people are spending their time.

The Golden Police recorded 102 vehicle automobile thefts in 2020, said Mike Greenwell during a public meeting on March 18. Greenwell is a commander with the Lakewood Police who also serves as the commander of the Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force, a joint effort of officials from different Denver metro law enforcement agencies who investigate car thefts.

That 102 thefts figure represents a 79% increase in car thefts from 2019, given Golden the seventh highest such increase among the communities that are included in the task force. That increase came after the number of car thefts decrease 12% from 2017 to 2018 and 3% from 2018 to 2019.

“You guys (Golden) were doing a really good job up until 2020 came along,” said Greenwell.

The increase in car thefts in Gold-

en was consistent with a broader increase in such thefts across both Jeffco and the entire Denver metro area. According to Greenwell, car thefts increased by 56% in Jeffco in 2020 and 54.8% across the task force’s six counties. The total number of cars stolen in those counties was 20,185, according to the task force’s data.

Those thefts add up to a big - and often underestimated - cost for communities, Greenwell said. Each year, the FBI does an analysis of how much the average stolen costs both the owner and the community when everything from the cost of law enforcement time to lost productivity from losing access to a vehicle to property damage, is totaled together.

For 2019, the most recent year for which such a figure has been calculated, that number was $8,886 per theft. That means the total cost of Golden’s thefts using that figure was $906,372.

So where are those thefts happening? Greenwell said his agency’s data shows the most common location for a car to be stolen from is a parking location, such as a parking garage or lot. The vast majority of the remaining thefts occur when the car is stolen either from the owner’s home or else from a street or roadway.

Golden Police Commander Drew Williams said residents can also

gain more insight hotspots for care theft within Golden by visiting lockdownyourcar.com, a car theft database paid for by a surcharge on auto insurance policies.

According to the database, car thefts occur all over Golden but some of the biggest hot spots are around downtown and along South Golden Road.

While there are several factors that have influenced the recent rise in car thefts, among the biggest was the institution of policies at jails in Jeffco and other counties limiting the crimes that people who were arrested could be jailed for.

Those policies, which were intended to limit the number of people in the jails to provide more space for social distancing, typically listed auto thefts as among the arrests that were no longer being accepted into the jail.

“We had one situation where we arrested a young man in a stolen car and we took him in, we booked him and we released him pending charges,” said Greenwell. “We have him on video two hours later stealing another vehicle from a Walmart.”

In Jeffco, those restrictions have since been loosened allowing the county to again jail those arrested for car theft and leading to hope that the theft numbers will start to decline. Police-initiated contacts also decreased sharply for much of the pandemic but have again started to rebound now that officers have been able to get vaccinated.

However, Greenwell said there are also factors behind the increase, including increased desperation of those who have lost jobs or faced economic challenges, and more

COMMONLY STOLEN VEHICLES According to Denver Area Motor Vehicle Task Force data, here are the five most commonly stolen vehicle-types in the Denver area in 2020.

1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverados (1,145 thefts) 1995-2000 Honda Civics (956 thefts) 1992-1997 Honda Accords (924 thefts) 1999-2006 Ford F-250s (923 thefts) GMC Sierra (602 thefts)

time spent at home that could last several months or more.

“We’ve had more people staying at home where their cars are sitting in parking lots and not being used and sometimes people wouldn’t know their car had been stolen for days,” he said.

But regardless of what happens with car theft numbers as the COVID-19 crisis comes to an end, Greenwell said there are several common-sense steps all residents can and should take to reduce their risk.

Those steps include taking keys and other valuables out of the car, avoiding leaving a turned-on vehicle unattended to warm up on cold or hot days, making sure key fobs for newer cars are kept far enough inside a residence that a thief would not be able to steal a car because the fob is nearby and investing in a theft prevention device such as a steering wheel immobolizer.

In Golden, the police department has a limited supply of those immobilizers that are given out to residents. Residents can request an immobilizer by calling the police department at 303-384-8045.

Jeffco Schools names superintendent finalist

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Board of Education announced the selection of Tracy Dorland as its final candidate for superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools on March 25.

Dorland has served as Deputy Superintendent of Adams 12 Five Star Schools for the past three and a half years. She joined Adams 12 in 2013 as the district’s chief academic officer and worked as a teacher, principal, principal supervisor and central office leader in Denver Public Schools for more than 12 years prior to joining Adams 12.

In the district’s press release announcing Dorland, Jeffco school board president Susan Harmon gave an enthusiastic endorsement of her selection.

“We are very excited to announce Tracy Dorland as the sole finalist for our next superintendent. Her wide range of instructional and school leadership experience, collaborative leadership style, and knowledge of

the Jefferson County community will enable her to acclimate quickly as our new leader,” Harmon said.

“Tracy has a deep commitment to public education and has proven her dedication to work in the best interest of all students. We look forward to working with her to build upon our past success to best serve all of Jeffco’s students and families.”

Dorland, no stranger to Colorado, earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder and a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy studies from the University of Colorado, Denver. She and her family live in Jefferson County and her children attend Jeffco Schools.

According to the district’s press release, board members will now undertake formal contract negotiations and other required steps before completing the hiring process. Once all steps are satisfactorily completed, the board will take public action on the appointment of Dorland, which is expected in mid-April.

Do You Want to Get More Money for Your Home? Don’t Sell It too Quickly!

I have written before that 4 days on the MLS is the magic number to get the highest price for your home. That was based on a statistical analysis I did a few years ago, so I figured it’s time to do a new analysis.

Looking at the 4,015 most recent sales in Jefferson County, here’s what I discovered.

There were 207 sales which showed zero days on the MLS, meaning that they weren’t even exposed to the market until they were under contract. The median ratio of listing price to sold price for them was 100%.

Some sold for more than the listing price and some sold for less, but the median was the listing price.

Meanwhile, 200 homes went under contract after being on the MLS only 1 day. The median home for this group sold for 3.03% over the listing price.

There were 379 homes that were active on the MLS for 2 days before going under contract. The median home in that group sold for 3.08% over listing price.

There were 502 homes that went under contract after 3 days on the MLS. The median home in that group sold for 3.3% over listing price.

There were 608 homes that were active on the MLS for 4 days before going under contract. The median home in that group sold for 3.6% over listing price.

As in my prior analysis, being on the MLS for 4 days netted the highest price for the seller.

There were 413 homes that went under contract after 5 days on the MLS. The median home is that group sold for 3.3% over listing price.

Only 206 homes went under contract after 6 days on the MLS. The median

home in that group sold for 1.6% over listing price.

If you skip ahead to the 53 homes that were on the MLS for 10 days before going under contract, the median home in that group sold for 0.4% below the listing price.

Those statistics are displayed graphically on the chart at right.

Not shown is how low the ratio of sold price to listing price goes for homes that languish on the market, usually because they were overpriced at the beginning. Here’s that other data: Looking at the 223 homes that were active on the MLS for 30 to 45 days before going under contract, the median home in that group sold for 3.8% below the listing price.

Looking at the 106 homes that were active on the MLS for 46 to 60 days, the median home in that group sold for 4.3% below listing price.

Lastly there where 285 homes that were active on the MLS for over two months. The median home in that group sold for 5.7% less than listing price.

The bottom-line message for sellers is that you need to price your home to attract multiple offers and not accept first (or second) good offer that you receive.

Selling it without making it active on the MLS at all, as too many (5% of) sellers are currently doing, may be convenient, but it leaves money on the table.

There’s another way that sellers leave money on the table, and that is to hire a listing agent who uses the “highest and best” approach to handling multiple offers. It is the most common method used, but the agents of Golden Real Estate use a better approach—being open and transparent, handling bids auction-style.

The auction style of handling multiple offers is simple, but it does require more work by the agent and more patience on the part of the seller. Buyers and their agents appreciate this approach and sellers invariably net more money.

I have a good example from last week. I listed a home for $595,000 and got it under contract for $725,000, and I did it with only four bidders. If I had asked for “highest and best,” I would have had many more offers, and maybe the highest and best would have been $625,000 or maybe $650,000. But because I let every agent know the details of every offer I received, I received few-

These are among the 20-plus EVs that will be in the Golden Real Estate parking lot this Saturday from 2 to 5 pm, with the owners there to answer your questions and possibly give you a ride around the block.

It’s our annual Drive Electric Earth Day event, one of two EV roundups that Golden Real Estate has been hosting since 2012 in our parking lot at 17695 S. Golden Road.

The other event is Drive Electric Week, held on the first Saturday in October to coincide with the annual Metro Denver Green Homes Tour.

er offers, and those I did receive knew when their offer was exceeded by another offer. At that point they could either resubmit or drop out.

This process truly resembles a public auction, in which everyone knows what the highest bid is and can choose to raise their bid or drop out. No one is blindsided. The worst thing for a buyer is to discover later that if they had only offered a little more money they could have gotten the home they wanted.

It’s hard for me to understand why listing agents won’t reveal their highest offer to other agents. There’s no rule against it, but some agents seem to think there is. Other agents will say their seller doesn’t want them to reveal details of the offers in hand, but I don’t believe that.

And if it’s true, then the seller wasn’t told about the advantages of the auction process.

By now it should be clear that an electric vehicle of some kind is in your future, so you might as well starting taking a look at what’s available. If the right vehicle isn’t being sold currently, it will probably be available within the next two years, so come and look, and find out what all the excitement is about.

Our parking lot still has a few spaces available, so if you own an EV, especially one that is not listed in the first paragraph, please register to bring it on Saturday at www.DriveElectricWeek.info. You can also register there as a spectator, but it’s not required. If you do want to attend, with or without an EV, please wear a mask and allow us to apply sanitizer to your hands when you arrive.

A look at firearms safety and legislation

BY RYAN DUNN

In the wake of the March 22 shooting in Boulder, the Arvada Press’ Ryan Dunn spoke to gun safety activist Shannon Watts about the state of firearm legislation in Colorado The shooting in Boulder on March 22 hit close to home for many Coloradans. Arvadans in particular have been forced to grapple with the unseemly reality that the main suspect was a longtime Arvada resident and a graduate of Arvada West High School.

To better understand the framework within which this even occurred, the Arvada Press spoke to Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action and a former Boulder resident herself. Watts is one of the leading gun safety activists in the country and the author of “Fight Like a Mother,” a memoir and guide to grassroots activism.

Their conversation has been slightly edited for clarity.

Gun safety activist Shannon Watts in Boulder.

couple of weeks ago, the NRA sued to prevent Boulder from making its policies different than the state’s laws. And as a result, that assault weapons ban was temporarily undone and not enforced. Days later there was a mass shooting with what many are calling an AR-style weapon. We are all only as safe as the closest city or the closest state with the weakest gun laws.

The suspect in this shooting is 21-yearold Ahmad Alissa, a recent graduate of Arvada West High School. How does a young person carry out a shooting like this?

Shannon Watts: There’s a reason that America has a gun homicide rate 25 times than any other high-income country, and that’s because we make arsenals and ammunition easily accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime — no questions asked.

Boulder had an assault weapons ban in place for two years. Just a

The shooter has a criminal history and has been characterized as “mentally unstable” by his brother. How was he able to gain access to a gun?

SW: It will be interesting to learn the details of how he procured the gun. If he was not adjudicated

as mentally ill, then that would not have been on his record and wouldn’t have prevented him from having easy access to a gun. If it was a misdemeanor, then again, a background check would not have necessarily prevented him from having easy access to guns.

Colorado has a red flag law — which was passed after the tragedy in Parkland — which allows judges to issue a temporary restraining order that will remove the guns from someone who is a risk to themselves or others.

We give weapons of war — we make them available to anyone, anywhere, anytime with no questions asked, and it is in part why we have

a 25 times higher gun homicide rate than any high-income country.

I think it’s really important to say that in Colorado, there’s a lot of attention paid to the mass shootings that happen, and not to the daily gun violence that happens. Mass shootings make up about one percent of gun violence in this country. It’s really the tip of the iceberg in the crisis we are experiencing — a crisis that is exasperated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020 was the deadliest year for gun violence in a very long time, yet mass shootings slowed down because people weren’t out in public.

It’s just important to point out that 100 Americans are shot and killed in this country in everyday gun violence. That’s about 20 mass shootings a day. They just don’t get the same attention because not the same amount of people are killed at one time in one place.

How has the COVID-19 pandemic effected gun violence?

SW: 2020 was one of the worst years on record for gun violence.

And that’s because gun violence intervention programs and city centers weren’t able to do the work they get out and do in public.

It’s because women were isolated with domestic abusers who have easy access to guns. It’s because people with suicidal ideation, maybe because of the pandemic, have easy access to guns. And we also know SEE Q&A, P13

Members of the the Golden City Council and Golden Planning Commission discussed at least 10 aspects of the first draft of what will be the city’s updated zoning regulations during a marathon meeting on March 22.

But it was the last topic to be discussed during the four-hour-plus meeting that seemed to elicit the strongest reactions from both the members of the council and the commission and the broader Golden community.

That issue was the question of whether the updated zoning code should include changes that would ban the construction of massive “McMansions” and encourage the construction of smaller homes in the traditional suburban-style neighborhoods on the city’s periphery.

Golden Senior Planner Cory Miller said the original purpose of the effort to revamp the zoning code, which has been in the works for about a-year-and-a-half, was to address resident concerns about the types of structures being built in the city’s central residential and commercial areas.

The zoning regulations for peripheral areas, which are the only areas of the city zoned exclusively for single-family homes, were not going to be updated because the city had not heard the same types of concerns and complaints about the zoning of those areas that it had from residents of the more central neighborhoods.

But that thought process changed some when the members of the city’s zoning code rewrite task force raised the possibility of applying certain changes that were proposed for the rest of the city, including a limit on the size of single-family homes and a menu of structure “forms” that would be permitted in each zoning district, to those peripheral zoning districts.

That discussion ensued after members of the task force raised concerns about the need to preserve view corridors and other “character” aspects of those neighborhoods - all of which might be able to be done better if the size of builds was limited and construction of smaller homes was encouraged.

City staff, Miller said, also saw a possible benefit to that approach in that it could expand housing stock in Golden and ultimately put some downward pressure on housing costs in Golden, “We thought people living in rental units across the city could then move up and purchase their first property in the city of Golden and that would free up space on the low end for people to take advantage

of rental properties,” Miller said.

Fierce opposition But when the city released that first draft, which outlined new zoning for those peripheral areas, there was significant pushback from residents of those neighborhoods, including over 50 letters in opposition compared to a “handful in favor.”

That opposition seemed to resonate with several members of the council and planning commission, who spoke out strongly against making changes to the zoning of those peripheral areas. The two groups ultimately decided those changes

would be removed from the next draft of the regulations.

John Caskey, the chair of the planning commission, said he was strongly opposed to the change because the idea that it would lead to the creation of more affordable housing in Golden was based on faulty logic. He said the way to bring more affordable housing to Golden is for the city and county to invest in programs that will help fund such housing.

“If you were to scrape these homes in these neighborhoods and a developer could build two or more homes SEE ZONING, P8

School district rolls out 2021 remote learning plan Officials guarantee remote, in-person education will be equitable

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Students enrolling in Jeffco Public Schools’ remote learning program for the 2021-22 school year can expect an equitable learning experience on par with in-person school, district officials told parents at a Facebook live event on March 18.

The program will have a strong focus on synchronous learning and allowing students to be part of their home school with the ability to attend events, participate in athletics and extra-curricular activities such as performing in school plays.

In addition, seniors will receive their diplomas from and graduate with their current home high school. All students will have the option to return to their school in the 2022-23 school year without reapplying to attend that school.

Jeffco Schools’ Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh said the district expected strong participation in next year’s remote offering, noting roughly 20% of the district’s 80,000 students chose the remotelearning option this year.

According to Interim Deputy

Superintendent Marcia Anker, the district conducted a survey in February to gauge interest in a remote program. She said the overall response rate was about 33%, and out of those, more than 1,300 families said they would be interested in a remote option next year, affirming the district’s decision to move forward with the remote option.

COVID-19 is still playing a role in choosing the learning environment some families are comfortable with, while others simply think remote works better for their child, Anker said.

Community Superintendent Matthew Walsh is heading up the program. No stranger to nontraditional learning approaches, Walsh has overseen the district’s option, alternative and dual-enrollment schools for the past eight years. He’s also been an important cog in the remote machine for this school year.

“I worked closely with high school principals on the overall restart program and delivering the in-person and remote options in our high schools,” he said. “Since then, I’ve been working closely with Jeffco Virtual Academy, better understanding what they offer to our students.”

Walsh said he was approached and had a great interest in being the lead on the new program, not just for the year ahead and dealing with the pandemic, but also for fu-

‘Students will have the opportunity to have faceto-face conversations in instruction with their teachers on a daily basis. Families are excited about it because it provides structure and organization for students.’

Matthew Walsh, community superintendent ture opportunities remote learning pairs with in education.

He said the main difference between next year’s remote program and the current virtual academy program is the new program will be primarily synchronous.

“Students will have the opportunity to have face-to-face conversations in instruction with their teachers on a daily basis,” he said.

“Families are excited about it because it provides structure and organization for students.”

Schuh reiterated the district’s commitment to creating a remote program that equals in-person learning in every way. He said the goal is to provide a consistent, equitable, high-quality, comprehensive experience for all students across all schools including options and charters.

Part of reaching that goal will hinge on the district’s ability to keep remote learners engaged and connected to their home school.

Anker said the expectation is that the school will reach out to remote learners on a regular basis — at least weekly in a variety of ways.

Although many teachers are

currently teaching in-person and remote students at the same time, Walsh said that won’t be the case next year. The district will hire teachers solely to teach remote students to ensure an equitable experience.

Families who are or may be interested in the new program can already see class offerings on the district’s Remote Learning website.

Walsh said the district will offer Advanced Placement classes, honors and a wide range of unique electives. He thinks families will be pleasantly surprised when they see the comprehensive and competitive course list.

How can you enroll your child?

Mackenzie Nickum, Jeffco’s director of enrollment services, said through December and January, the district asked families to go online and choose their school at Enroll Jeffco. The site is considered the best way for families to choose their learning environment (remote or in-person) as well.

To begin, log-in to Enroll Jeffco with a Jeffco Connect username and password. Once inside, click “Let’s get started” and follow the prompts. On the second page there will be a question asking which learning environment you want to pursue. Users will have the options of “remote,” “in-person” or “not sure.”

Each school has a remote version. For example, there’s a Wilmot Elementary and a remote Wilmot Elementary option.

Apply to the schools you’re interested in, click next and submit.

Keep in mind that you’re guaranteed a spot at the school you’re currently enrolled in.

There’s no lottery system for remote school — applications are processed as they’re submitted. The district is taking anyone who wants to enroll in remote learning until April 7. After that, district officials will start looking at capacity, and there may be a waitlist depending on available space for either remote or in-person, so if a family wants to switch after that point, it will depend on availability of spots.

then more significantly to 115.1 on March 25, the last day for which the county had made seven-day average data available at press time.

Jefferson County Public Health Deputy Director Dawn Comstock said on March 24 multuple days above 115 had the agency concerned the county was moving in the wrong direction.

Those concerns were compounded by new increases in the county’s test positivity rate which approached 5%, another threshold for staying in Level Blue, on several days starting on March 15 . However, that rate declined to 3.5% on March 26, suggesting that it may again be moving in the right direction.

Nonetheless, Comstock said the

April 1, 2021A increases were concerning at a time when so many Jeffco residents are getting vaccinated.

“While we’re making very good strides in vaccination, we are truly in a race now against our community’s just overwhelming desire to return to some sense of pre-COVID-19 normal,” said Comstock of the increases. “There is an intensifying push to shed those transmission control efforts that have been so effective in helping us reduce and control COVID-19 transmission within our communities.”

Younger residents driving increase Comstock said that county positivity data suggests that the overall increase is being driven by increases in transmission among Jeffco’s younger residents. As of March 24, the seven-day test positivity rate for residents 0-18 was 5.6% while the positivity rates for residents 19-29

and 30-39 was 4.3%.

State data suggests that of March 24, 22.7% of people in the six county Denver metro area were currently immune to COVID-19 as a result of either vaccination or acquired antibodies from having had the virus.

That still left more than 70% of the population vulnerable to acquiring COVID-19, particularly if prevention protocols are dropped.

“We just need to try to get everybody to continue transmission control efforts until we can get enough of our community vaccinated to squelch this community transmission,” said Comstock.

But even as the overall trend had taken a disappointing turn, Comstock said one recent piece of good news is that the test positivity rate for residents age 70 and over has fallen to “far below 2%.” That decrease shows that vaccination is having an effect in Jeffco, where 87.7% of Jeffco residents over 70 had received at least one vaccination as of March 24.

Deaths have also continued to decrease, with the county reporting only one COVID-19 death for the week of March 21. Jeffco had not had a week of fewer than one death since the pandemic began.

The number of residents protected by vaccination is expected to increase substantially in coming weeks, Comstock said, as the state has informed JCPH that it is expecting to begin receiving as many as 400,000 doses of vaccine a week, which allow Jeffco and other counties across the state to rapidly

increase the pace of immunization.

Comstock said JCPH’s efforts to address gaps between the number of white and minority residents accessing the vaccines were starting to pay off. For example, as of March 3, about 22% of Hispanic residents had received at least vaccination compared to over 80% of white residents, with 11% of those in that age group who received a vaccination not disclosing their race.

But as of March 23, 44% of Hispanic residents and 80.9% of white residents had received a vaccination, with 9% of those in that age group having not disclosed their race.

Comstock said each new phase of the vaccination process originally sees the same major equity gaps that seem to less over time.

“Over time we’re able to address them more and more, and I think that’s really because when a new phase initially opens the vast majority of people are receiving the vaccines through our traditional health care partners so Kaiser, retail pharmacies etc.,” she said.

“So, it really takes the very targeted equity efforts to start addressing those disparities and closing those gaps.”

Still, despite that progress, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said she shared Comstock’s concern about “the sobering news” of the county possibly falling back to Level Yellow.

“Certainly that has been one of our biggest concerns that we not slide backwards,” she said.

ZONING

regulations governing them, so that the code could cover the entire city with a consistent format.

“I would like to just keep the R-1 and R-E zoning covered in there and keep the material in there and that way the language is speaking to R-1 and R-E and that way if we ever want to change it later that is easier to do,” he said. R-1 and R-E are the single-family zoning restrictions that cover those neighborhoods.

That suggestion was ultimately settled upon by both councils, which directed the city to include those peripheral neighborhoods in the new zoning code but keep their zoning requirements the same.

they are not going to be attainable,” he said. “There are a lot of ways we can help with affordability but essentially changing these existing neighborhoods is a bridge too far.”

Councilman Casey Brown said he saw no need to “antagonize or push for changes the neighbors don’t think would be keeping with the character of their neighborhood.” However, he argued that the city should still incorporate those communities in the updated code, while not changing the existing

CASA of Jeffco and Gilpin celebrate 20 years with stickers STAFF REPORT

MORE INFORMATION

In celebration of 20 years of advocacy, CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties announced the winners of its new sticker design competition.

CASA children were encouraged to design a sticker (or several) and enter in the first ever sticker design contest.

The winners were selected by CASA volunteers and were announced in February. There were four age groups challenged with designing a sticker to be printed and used throughout the 20thanniversary year. The designs capture the children’s thoughts and feelings through their artistic ability.

The four age groups ranged from children ages 4-16. The winners *names changed due to confidentiality* were: Ages 4 to 6:Linus, a 6-year-old boy who included shades of blue, green and red in his design as well as adding stickers onto the sticker for some added flair.

Ages 7 to 10: At just 7 years old, Coraline included a drawing of the beach on her sticker with a palm tree and the sun.

To learn more about what CASA is doing to celebrate its 20th anniversary, follow the group at www.facebook.com/ CASAJeffcoGilpin or www.casajeffcogilpin.com Ages 11 to 14:Christian, a 12-year-old boy, decided to use a tie dye design. His use of bright colors in his design stood out to the judges.

Ages 15+:16-year-old Maddie won with her minimalist sticker design.

She drew images including a picnic, dog, paintbrush, car and cup of coffee and a landscape with flowers on the bottom of the sticker.

“We want to thank all our advocates and children who entered in the sticker contest and congratulate the winners of each group,” said Leah Varnell, executive director.

In the 20 years that CASA Jefferson/Gilpin has been a voice for children of abuse, they have provided support to more than 3,200 abused and neglected children. CASA works to serve the most vulnerable children through advocacy, awareness and support.

Creek and Gilpin Counties and Jefferson County Public Health, put on a DisAbility vaccine event.

Michele Majeune, Developmental Disabilities Resource Center, Director of Community Relations, said the event was especially crucial because these individuals often have health conditions that make them more susceptible to the virus. The event is also significant because it occurs during National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, an annual observance meant to raise awareness around the challenges this population faces.

Serving the Golden Community Since 1986

One of those patiently waiting to roll up their sleeve was 22-yearold Logan Borer, a young man who receives various services from DDRC. Borer, who works at King Soopers and serves as a Youth Leader for religious youth organization Young Life, said the first thing he’s looking forward to doing when things eventually get back to normal is hanging out with friends. He’s also hoping to attend a camp at Crooked Creek Ranch this summer. Logan’s mom Bonnie drove him to the event and was getting her vaccine as well. She said she and Logan both contracted COVID-19 earlier in the year.

“We’re here just to make sure we don’t spread it and can get back to our lives a little bit,” she said.

Susan Todd, Director of External Affairs and Community Partnerships for STRIDE Community Health Center called it a wonderful day.

“We’re vaccinating approximately 431 people today, and we’re very excited to be able to do this,” she said. “We’ve had a steady stream of people. We’re doing the Mod-

erna vaccine, so they’ll come back in four weeks to get their second dose.”

Rob DeHerrera, Executive Director of DDRC, was also in attendance. He said since the pandemic started, their goal has been to keep individuals and families they serve as safe as possible. The DisAbility event was just another step in their efforts, he said.

“A lot of our folks have been in isolation in group homes since the pandemic started, unable to see family or friends,” he said. “So, it’s really amazing to see so many people participating at this great event.”

Executive Director of The Arc for Jefferson, Clear Creek, and Gilpin Counties, Lori Ropa, said her organization advocates for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

She said The Arc works with a lot of DDRC folks, but they also work with people who don’t have supports.

“It was really essential for us to get the word out to our community that these vaccinations were available to them, and this would

be a friendly place to come and get them, to try to bring the level of anxiety down,” she said. “The whole pandemic has been a little bit terrifying.”

Ropa said the living situation of many people attending the event puts them at higher risk of exposure to COVID-19. It’s also difficult for some of those people to really understand why they can’t hug their grandma or see their friends.

“We worked very hard statewide to say people who have an inability to wear masks, people with impulse control issues or challenges breathing — that’s a big problem for folks,” she said. “It’s been very challenging for people with IDD.” Ropa said everyone has been beyond excited to get the vaccine and the chance to get back a little bit of normal life has overridden a lot of fears about the shots.

Right now, the organizations that partnered to host the event aren’t sure if there will be another. DeHerrera said they’re talking about putting a link to weekly vaccination events at STRIDE on the website of each organization.

VOICES

Superintendent selection process not so super

W

hen Idaho Springs was choosing a new chief of police weeks ago, the city held a virtual community forum so residents could get to know the three finalists being considered for the position.

Just last week, Commerce City held something similar for the three finalists for the city manager position.

When Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Jason Glass was applying to become a commissioner of education for the Kentucky Department of Education last year, his name was made public by the state along with two other finalist candidates for that position.

Glass was eventually named as the top choice and accepted the position.

All three hiring processes comply with what is considered best practices for open government, giving the public a chance to see what the alternatives were in the hiring of an executive to a public organization.

In fact, under the Colorado Open Records Act, all finalists for a high-ranking or CEO-type position, such as superintendent,

P

OUR VIEW must be named publicly at least 14 days before an actual job offer is made, giving the public time to weigh in on the choices. CORA defines “finalist” as “a member of the final group of applicants or candidates.”

However, the state’s second largest school district has repeatedly — for at least the last three times now — skirted this rule, by naming only a single “finalist.” This is precisely what the district did on March 25 in naming Glass’ replacement, Tracy Dorland.

Much as this editorial board said after Glass was hired, this new superintendent seems well qualified and could easily have been the superior choice out of the four, dare we say, finalists that the Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education interviewed earlier in the week.

Not to disparage Dorland, but the method the school board used in choosing her has perpetuating a practice that does not serve the ideals of transparent governance.

We, the parents, teachers and taxpayers of Jefferson County will likely never know who the board passed over in this choice. We have

no way of judging the wisdom of our five elected officials in this decision.

The argument against revealing more than one finalist for an executive chief position, one explicitly voiced by the search firm hired by Jeffco Public Schools — Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates — was that the mere possibility of being revealed as a position-seeker could dissuade top candidates from applying.

In response, we would point out that the possibility of being named a finalist didn’t dissuade Jeffco’s last choice for superintendent.

Also, we happen to think being as transparent as possible, even when it may be inconvenient, is an excellent quality to want in a public schools administrator.

This is a recurring problem across the state. Both Adams 12 Five-Star and Denver Public Schools, districts Dorland worked with previously, named only one finalist the last time they selected a superintendent.

In 2019, the Boulder Daily Camera sued CU Boulder after the board of regents pulled the same stunt in the selection of a new university president, naming just

one finalist and refusing to release the names of other applicants that were interviewed for the job. A district court judge sided with the paper, writing in the decision “Under the plain and ordinary meaning of the statutes, there were more than one finalist for the 2019 CU president position.”

The case was appealed up to the Colorado Court of Appeals earlier this year. Appellate Judge Michael Berger called the interpretation of CORA used by CU and Jeffco Public Schools regarding the hiring of chief executives as “seriously flawed,” in his opinion.

He added that the district court ruling that more than one finalist should be named under CORA would clearly “better advance the sunshine and open government principles that underlie those statutes.” However, in a 2-1 decision the appellate court concluded that it should be left to legislators, not the courts, to clarify the language of CORA to better align with its intent.

The appellate court overturning the CU decision had unfortunate timing for Jeffco. How much more SEE SELECTION, P13

Whether we are WORDS baseball fans or not, we all understand what the first pitch is and how we typically see a celebrity or local hero invited to throw that first ceremonial baseMichael Norton ball before the game gets underway.

The pitcher of the home team will have the responsibility of throwing the first pitch to officially start the game. They have worked hard in the offseason and spring training. And they have studied their opponent’s lineup, coming up with a game plan with their coaches and catcher to determine which pitch to throw to each batter and in each situation.

However, the first thing they must

do is get that first pitch in play as adrenaline and anxiousness compete for the athlete’s mindset and physicality.

Odds are strongly in the pitcher’s favor that the first pitch of the season will not be a home run.

Their primary goal is to toss a strike or put the ball in play for an easy out. Early confidence builders are always helpful in any sport, and in anything we are doing in life.

Now let’s think about the other side of this. There is a Major League Baseball player standing in the batter’s box 60 feet, 6 inches away.

And depending on the reach of the pitcher and velocity at which he throws, that distance could seem so much shorter. The batters have also worked hard in the offseason and spring training. They too have studied the tendencies of their opponent. Do they throw fastballs, or breaking balls? How does the ball move as it leaves their hand? So much to think about as their adrenaline and anxiousness compete for their mindset and physicality as they step up to the plate.

For both, it’s about getting into the zone. And that is exactly what we should be doing, as we get into our zone. With so much talk about breaking out of our comfort zone, we should never compromise that comfort zone if it gives us the confidence that we need to achieve success in whatever it is we are pursuing. If we identify that our comfort zone is holding us back, then the encouragement is to break through and break out to advance toward the achievement of our goals.

When we think about preparing for success, do we allow the right amount of adrenaline and anxiousness to keep us in shape, motivated, and ready to go? Are we ready for the first pitch wherever it may be coming from? Are we tapping into some of our positive nervous energy to face any opposition who is standing in the batter’s box of life? Are there opportunities we are pursuing where we know just how important our first pitch or swing will be?

A typical baseball season is 162 games long, plus the postseason.

And this is very true, for baseball teams, and each one of us. No matter how our year has begun, there is still a lot of life to be played. And right now, here at the beginning of April, we can get ready mentally and physically to toss that first pitch or stand in the batter’s box and be prepared to take our first swing.

Asking right questions key to setting educational goals

E

very once in a while, when I’m working through a problem, I stop myself to ask “are you sure you’re thinking about that the HITTING right way?” Most HOME of the time the answer is “no”; in fact, most of the time the answer is still “no” when I go back and ask the same question a few hours later.

If we don’t really think about a problem the right Michael Alcorn way, it’s awfully hard to find solutions. Malcolm Gladwell posits that the David and Goliath story isn’t so much about an underdog, as it is the predictable outcome of an artillery versus infantry confrontation.

If David were thinking about how to overpower Goliath, that would have been disastrous; however, being able to accurately sling a stone at upwards of 40 mph sort of changes the solution set.

I think sometimes we all dig in our heels about an issue, trying desperately to find a solution,

that tens of millions of kids were at home unexpectedly from school, also with easy access to guns.

So, when you look at what is happening, and what’s been happening in the last couple of weeks, as we start to see society get back to normal, America is the only country where that means also that public shootings resume in places where we should feel safest, like grocery stores or spas.

Tens of millions of guns were sold in the last year because the gun lobby uses the chaos and fear around COVID-19 to juice gun sales.

Tens of millions of guns were sold, many to first-time gun buyers, and many to people in states that don’t require a permit or a background check or any training to have a gun.

And I am very afraid that is a recipe for disaster that is going to play out like we’ve seen in Atlanta and Boulder over and over again until our lawmakers act.

What is the current status of gun legislation and gun culture in Colorado?

Of course, a little more dedication to the ideal of transparency on the part of the Jeffco school board could have done that, too.

when, really, the solution is selfevident from another angle. I mentioned last week how our perceptions of the coronavirus pandemic are horribly skewed based on our political leanings. That’s one example.

Another source of confusion may come from where we get our information. For instance, according to a survey by the Skeptic Research Center in 2019, Americans believe that over 40% of people killed by police were black. A subgroup that had “low trust” in news media believed that the number was over 35%, while people who have a “high trust” in media believe that number to be 56.6%. The real number? 25% (according to the Washington Post database). A rate like 25% is still demographically skewed, but the difference in our view of the problem based on our information intake is startling. And, I would guess, doesn’t help in finding solutions.

I’ve been thinking about this lately in relation to one of the big issues coming up right now in the schools: testing. The schools, and teachers in particular are asking for a waiver from the feds to

which would require gun owners to keep their guns locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition.

And that’s because when you look at shootings, most school shooters are students, they’re not strangers who walked in off the streets.

This issue — the issue of gun violence prevention — is a big reason why we were able to flip the legislature in Colorado. It’s why Corey Gardner lost; John Hickenlooper won. Colorado is now solidly a gun safety state — there’s no going back.

But it also is home to an incredibly radicalized gun organization that’s even to the right of the NRA called the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. And they fight tooth and nail to stop gun safety bills from passing.

Moms Demand Action volunteers in Colorado have become a political powerhouse. They helped pass the assault weapons ban in Boulder, they’ve helped passed the good gun laws through the Colorado legislature, and they’re holding lawmakers accountable both at the state and federal level. And I really do believe that with the Biden administration and having the majority and the Senate and House, we are hopefully on the precipice of major change at a federal level.

ers recently advanced legislation that would rewrite portions of the Colorado Open Meetings Act and Colorado Open Meetings Law to let public bodies in Colorado disclose just one finalist when choosing a new chief executive such as a city manager, school district superintendent or university president. It recently passed the House Business Affairs & Labor Committee 11-2.

forego requirements to test kids this year. And believe me, I understand. My own personal version of testing—a concert—would be a shell of what we’ve gotten used to. You know: back in the “before times.”

What do we expect formal testing to show this year? That students have made nowhere near the progress we expect them to make in the two years since our last set of tests.

Um…… no duh.

Of *course* students haven’t made the sort of progress we expect them to make. We’ve reinvented the school system, we’ve had to learn a whole new vocabulary (“asynchronous” and “Zoom classroom”), and every learning experience is touched with the fear of transmitting something that a 10-year-old can’t see, smell or hear.

The relevant questions are how much learning have we really lost and who has lost even more?

Being able to quantify those may be a big shock to the public. At the same time, I don’t think anybody reasonable (and I use that word in 2021 advisedly) really blames the

teachers or the schools for that lost learning.

And that’s what teachers are worried about—and why wouldn’t they be? That is, after all, the whole, quiet, underlying premise of testing: assign blame for poor student outcomes.

But it’s my belief that these two years have taught us—or reminded us of— some really important things, one of which is that student learning is actually dependent on the student and, often, the supports they receive away from the watchful, guiding eye of a teacher.

So what could be more useful than to quantify that? To have a set of data to take to a skeptical public and policy makers and say to them “would you please, for the love of God, send us help!”

IN COLD WEATHER, LET WILDLIFE CHILL

ost Denver metro area residents are curled up inside during snowstorms and the coldest days of winter, but outside, there’s a whole other battle occurring.

The birds, deer, elk, prairie dogs, bears and the hundreds of other species in the area are sheltering, using instincts — honed over generations — to survive.

“One thing people need to understand is that wildlife is very sensitive,” said Andy Hough, environmental resource coordinator for Douglas County. “They can sense the storm coming.”

Many nearby animals will begin increasing their feeding in preparation to endure the storm without much access to food, Hough said. They will also move to a better location, such as an area with lower elevation, or a place with trees or shrubs, to shelter from the storm.

“Every species is different and

all react somewhat differently,” Hough said. “They have the instincts to do what they need to do.”

Bears, which sometimes make their way into the metro area, may end up remaining in their winter dens longer when there are significant spring storms like the one Denver saw in mid-March, said Jason Clay, spokesperson for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

“Winter is one of the seasons where it can be a little bit harder on wildlife. They have to search a little harder for food,” Clay said.

“But the moisture overall is a very good thing in the long run.”

This precipitation helps prevent future wildfires and fosters natural food growth in the spring.

“Big game animals are looking for green that comes with spring.

The green grasses help with nutrition,” Clay said. “Big storms may have short-term impacts on the wintering animals, but great longterm benefits.”

Women+Film Festival celebrates talents behind and in front of the camera COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

A

nyone who has participated in the last 11 years of Denver Film’s Women+Film Festival knows that stories told by and about women have a breadth and depth more than equal to their male peers.

“It’s so important to support women behind the camera,” said Barbara Bridges, the founder of the festival. “In the last 50 years, women have only accounted for 30 percent of speaking roles, so it’s important to see women on the screen as well.

Any kind of work women are doing is important.”

The 12th Annual Women+Film Festival will take place from Tuesday, April 13

through Sunday, the 18th. The films will be streaming on Denver Film’s virtual platform. The platform allows for viewers to stream their selected films on Roku, AppleTV or their computer or mobile device.

“Selecting films for the festival is an extensive process Barb and I collaborate on,” said Matt Campbell, Denver Film’s artistic director. “We have a great balance of types of films, as well as a lot of international films, and stories from different cultures and minority representation.”

This year’s line-up — which includes narrative and documentary, feature-length and short films — highlights a variety of

subjects and stories that audiences might be familiar with and those to learn about.

The opening night selection is Mariem Pérez Riera’s documentary, “Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It,” and festival-closer is Nicole Riegel’s “Holler,” featuring Pamela Adlon and Jessica Barden. Those two films will only be available on the 13th and 18th respectively, but all other films shown as part of the festival are available to stream for the duration of the festival.

situations like the historic snowfall seen in the Denver area in March, Hough said.

“While that storm seemed intense for us, it is not abnormal for this area,” he said. “These types of storms have been happening since the beginning of time.”

It’s not unusual for residents to see birds and deer using their home’s trees to hide away from these storms.

“They are using that landscape anyway,” he said. “It’s not unnatural for them to curl up under someone’s spruce tree.”

The Denver area sees everything from mountain lions and bears to foxes, owls and sometimes even moose.

One of the most important things for residents who notice local wildlife during the cold months to know is that they shouldn’t attempt to help animals by feeding them.

“You can put feeders out for birds, but most other cases are illegal,” Hough said. “Much of what we feed wildlife is not the best thing for them, and it can cause health problems.”

Feeding can also lead animals

or medium we’re using,” Bridges said. “I still hear from people who are excited to take part in the festival — they’re planning watch parties. These are films that can be enjoyed by anyone.”

As is often the case, there will be several conversations with filmmakers and local connections, providing the viewer with both a more personal and larger-scale connection to the works. Which adds another layer to the aim of the festival in the first place — to celebrate the power of women both behind and in front of the camera.

“The most interesting films being made are directed by women, and the most interesting stories are coming from women,” Campbell said. “We want to follow what’s current and interesting in the film industry, and we think women-centered stories and female filmmak-

tive, likely due to people violating the closure,” Giebel said. “After most snowstorms we would see tracks of people who violated (it).”

This year, Giebel’s team has put up trail cameras to deter people from entering the area.

Hough’s team, like many in the front range, also works to preserve local wildlife by studying their movements and habits and coordinating that with upcoming development in the region. That includes adding wildlife corridors

through projects like I-25.

“Mobility is an important factor for their life’s regimen but especially during critical times during harsh weather,” he said.

As more and more of the front range is developed and built upon, this task becomes increasingly difficult for wildlife managers.

“We can all have a part in conservation by trying to maintain natural habitats, improve degraded habitats and minimize disturbances,” Hough said.

to change their habits, which can cause nuisances and dangerous situations.

“These animals are very rugged.” Clay said. “They can survive these tough winters on their own … they don’t need our help.”

CPW has had many problems with residents feeding animals, which can result in death for the animal, disrupted migrations and other issues, Clay said.

Another way residents can help these wild animals is by respecting local trail closures. In the Highlands Ranch Backcountry, an 8200-acre conservation area, wildlife managers close one trail system to help local golden eagles and elk populations get through winter.

“Elk survival strategy in the winter is to conserve as many calories as possible,” said Mark Giebel, director of the wilderness area. “If they have to move and burn calories to avoid humans, their winter survival rate is in jeopardy.”

Over the winter, elk are slowly starving due to the lack of food available in the season, Giebel said. That’s why the Wildcat Mountain trails, which serve as a historic elk wintering area and sometimes a golden eagle habitat, are closed during the winter.

Childhood memories of Easter abound AVENUE FLASHES

John Akal

T

his is the week for Passover and Easter. Those are two big holidays that happen this time of year that, for a lot of people, indicate that spring is here more so that just a date on a calendar. It’s the time of year when the grass starts to get greener, plants start to bloom and you look out on your yard and ask yourself “Hmmm, where did they sell those big paper bags I’m supposed to use for yard debris again?”

I think we all have memories of these big holidays that come back to us every year. For me it’s Easter. Every year I see those pastel colors in the grocery store and it triggers a slew of terrific thoughts of little things, special places and my family. I remember looking for hidden baskets, delighting at seeing what was inside them that year, coloring eggs in boiling vinegar water that actually smelled a lot like rotten eggs and made them less appetizing to really eat. And of course, I remember the Easter Bunny. But my memories of that oversized Harvey kind of character might be a little different than some of yours.

Just the other day I was driving down West Colfax and seeing what used to be Westland shopping center opened the flood gates to a lot of childhood memories that then flowed into my young adulthood. That was where I first encountered the Easter Bunny. This was back in the early 1960’s when that shopping center was basically two little strip malls running parallel to each other with a pedestrian walkway between them and the big Sears store, that’s still there, functioning as an end cap and anchor store.

The parking lot surrounded the entire

center but the front lot facing Colfax was basically the same, pretty big.

Every year, for a few weeks before Easter, they used to pitch a giant dark green canvas army tent out in that parking lot.

It as a huge one, almost like a circus tent.

Probably some kind of WWII surplus mobile base camp mess hall or something.

Inside they had all kinds of pens and enclosures with various farm animals on display as well as a petting zoo. But, they weren’t just animals, they were mamas with baby animals. All kinds of newborn calves, horses, sheep, goats, bunnies, chicks, and even a little pond filled with tiny ducklings paddling around. I think the local 4H clubs had something to do with it, but I don’t remember for sure.

They even had a bunch of incubators with chicken eggs hatching. Anytime you went there, you could see at least a half dozen little beaks working on getting their shells open. For kids, it was a terrific educational experience. It was where you first learned about the beginning of life and saw how it happened.

But, that’s not where the Easter Bunny was. They also had a little Easter train that was basically a modified golf cart that towed a couple of cars in loops around the shopping center and was free to ride. That’s where he would hang out.

He’d be there handing out treats and bopping around. He had one of those giant costume heads that couldn’t talk, so he was kind of quiet. But, when you think about it, most rabbits don’t make a lot of noise, do they?

One Easter morning, when I was about three years old, I woke up and looked over the side of the bed and right in

the middle of the floor was this little gray and white bunny hopping around.

I saw him, thought I was dreaming and went back to sleep. Once I finally got up I didn’t mention it to my parents. As I was in the process of looking around for my hidden basket, all of a sudden the little guy popped out from behind the couch and wide eyed I said “There he is!”

My parents thought I meant the Easter Bunny, but I was just talking about the little bunny I thought I had dreamt up.

He became a part of the family for about seven years.

Once I grew up, somehow or other I got roped into actually being the Easter Bunny at a couple of other shopping centers. One year, I actually had a picture of myself in the costume on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News. It mentioned my name. How that never became the first thing that pops up when you do a Google search for me is one of my life’s great mysteries and I am thankful for that.

This year, most of the usual public events are still on hold, but you can always do something special at home to make a great memories that will last for the rest of you or your kid’s lives. Yes, you can still get a bunny at the pet store.

I named mine Dapard. I still have no idea what name means or where it came from John Akal is a well-known jazz artist/ drummer and leader of the 20-piece Ultraphonic Jazz Orchestra. He also is president of John Akal Imaging, professional commercial photography and multi-media production. He can be reached at jaimaging@aol.com

Birders of a feather

do not happen to be a “birder,” at least by the definition used by most United States birder organizations and followers. My guess however, many of us consider ourselves birders to some degree. Most of us have an interest in birds, some feed and water our winged neighbors, especially during inclement weather, some of us may provide bird houses in the spring. If we get uniquely close, we stop to observe size, color, we probably wonder if we have seen this species before.

The big difference may simply be how faithfully do we go

outdoors on specific bird watching tours? do we read about local bird populations? Are we a member of a birding group? do we study bird routines? migration habits? It comes down to generally how much time and interest do we commit to watching, feeding, studying, or traveling some distances to watch or photograph birds with other birders?

According to the American Birding Association (ABA) the latest numbers are much higher than one might guess. ABA will tell us about a 18% of our country’s population or 45M people

are active birders. They will also suggest to us the interest in birding is growing. I sense that is realistic. That growing interest most likely is due to the significant interest in the environmental and nature-related isRon Hellbusch sues generally. It is estimated $96B is generated by the overall birding interest. More specifically $17B is in the form of income and taxes generated from birding related activities. Moreover 782,000 jobs are associated with the birding industry.

ABA has about 12,000 members, most of which are active and faithful birders. Birders have valuable support from other active organizations both public and private. Some of those include Cornell (College) Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, American Bird Conservancy, the National Wildlife Refuge System. Add to this number are groups who have more specific bird focus, but who’s objectives support broader groups of birds, groups like Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants and Quail Forever, plus the supportive work of various state government wildlife and out-

doors agencies.

Large numbers of books and publications have been written about birding from both a professional/scientific and personal interest level with knowledgeable writers, David Sibley and Jason Crotty, being two of the many popular birder writers.

The birder organization, “Birdwatching”, produces a free weekly newsletter for interested birders simply by subscribing online with “Birdwatching.”

Bookstores and libraries are good sources as well for birder literature.

A great start for emerging birders is to take an active role in the popular “Great Backyard Bird Count” held nationally primarily to involve new, interested birders and give longer term birders an opportunity to search new bird species and to track changes in migration routes and timing. Mark your calendar for February 18-21, 2022 and make online contact via goggle with staff at “Great Backyard Bird Count” for details in preparing for next February event. There are opportunities to interact with skilled resources available to respond to questions.

Jeffco high school senior basketball games return

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It was one final time to play basketball with your friends and even some old foes on the hardwood March 25 night at the Gold Crown Fieldhouse.

“Getting to play with my teammates (McKenna Nichols and Brooklyn Seymour) one more time and play with people who have been competitors for four years was nice,” Ralston Valley senior

Sydney Bevington said after the conclusion of the girls’ Jeffco High School Senior Basketball. “We needed redemption from that last game. It felt good to get out there one last time.”

Bevington didn’t want her final memory of her stellar prep basketball career be Ralston Valley’s Class 5A state quarterfinal loss to Highland Ranch on March 16. The versatile Mustang led the White squad to a 7058 victory.

Bevington scored a game-high 24 points. Green Mountain’s Courtney Hank, Columbine’s Adrienne Harnum and Nichols each had 10 points in the victory that was coaching by Green Mountain’s girls basketball coach Darren Pitzner.

Golden senior Erika Dowell had a huge final quarter for the White team. The Demon scored all of her seven points in the final quarter.

It wasn’t an easy victory for the White squad that had

a solid height advantage on the Blue squad. The White led 28-13 early in the second quarter, but the Blue team coached by Arvada West’s girls basketball coach Brady Meeks chipped away at the lead to keep within striking distance.

“The White team was good. They definitely had the height,” Arvada West senior Alexis Folks said. “I think we did a good job battling with them.”

Folks led the Blue squad

with 12 points, all on 3-pointers. She was the only player in double-digits for the Blue team, but the squad had 10 different players score as they tried to rally from the double-digit first-half deficit.

“It was great having the team come together even a lot didn’t know each other,” Folks said. “We came together and worked hard.”

Dunks and 3-pointers reign in Jeffco seniors’ game

Green Mountain senior Austin Peterson tries to beat Evergreen senior Griffin Lauritano (13) off the dribble during the Jeffco High School Seniors Basketball Games on Thursday, March 25, at the Gold Crown Fieldhouse in Lakewood. The Blue squad took a 130-124 PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS victory.

LAKEWOOD — Valor Christian senior Amondo Miller’s final dunk finished off a fun night March 25 at the Gold Crown Fieldhouse.

The Blue squad took a 130-124 victory in the boys’ Jeffco High School Senior Basketball Game. The annual game featuring the top seniors in the Class 5A and 4A Jeffco Leagues didn’t take place last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While dunks and optional defense was in full force, the 3-point shooting was particularly sharp by the co-MVPs. Columbine senior Garrett Rogers and Wheat Ridge senior Westin Miller poured in seven 3-pointers each to lead both of their teams in scoring.

“I was just shooting and having a good time,” said

Rogers, who had a gamehigh 29 points. “I appreciate Gold Crown for putting this on. It was amazing.”

The Blue squad actually trailed 97-91 heading into the final 10-minute quarter.

However, the Blue team scored 39 points in the final quarter to win going away.

Green Mountain senior Austin Peterson got hot from 3-point range hitting a trio from long range in the final quarter.

Valor’s Miller and AJ Kula combined for 14 points in the final quarter and Rogers canned a pair of 3-pointers for good measure to pull out the come-from-behind victory.

“It was just really fun playing with all the guys.

You play them during league and you know them because of club,” Rogers said. “It is always a great time getting out there and playing

together.”

Wheat Ridge’s Miller started the game off with a 3-pointer in the opening seconds. The Farmer has being getting ready for the upcoming high school baseball season, but getting one last chance on the hardwood with fellow Wheat Ridge teammate Dominic Cross was special.

“It was awesome. I got to play one more basketball game,” said Miller, who has signed to play baseball next school year at Regis University. “I’ve been practicing baseball, so it was nice to get back out on the court. Most of us are competitors, but when it comes to this they are your teammates now.”

There were more than 40 3-pointers made in the game.

“They knocked down a lot of 3-pointers and then we kind of stopped playing defense,” Bevington said. “We figured it out and got the win.”

Bevington and Folks were named the MVPs of the game.

“It was a great experience. Especially being able to play with my teammate (A-West senior Madison Manson) one last time and to have (Meeks) coach us one last time,” Folks said. “It was really fun and a great experience.”

The annual senior basketball games that have been put on by the Gold Crown Foundation since 2018 was canceled last season right as the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown all sports around the world.
