A hip hotel is rising atop old Golden brickworks mill The chic Eddy Hotel will boast plenty of local flair when it opens next year

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While modern hotels tend toward the corporate and impersonal, Golden has long had a few options for those looking for a more colorful place to lay their heads.

Come next year, those offerings will grow by one with the opening of the Eddy Taproom & Hotel, a new “boutique-style” hotel that its owners hope will provide travelers with a lodging experience that is uniquely Golden.

The 49-room hotel, currently set to open in March or April of next year, is being built as part of the redevelopment taking place just east of the Highway 58 and 93 interchange SEE EDDY, P4

been on the board for 5 ½ years, touted her experience serving both as a commissioner and in the state legislature.

“The board has seen a lot of turnover the last few years and will experience more turnover next year,” said Szabo. “I will be the only commissioner that will have more than a few years of experience and that experience is vital to Jeffco.”

Szabo said she has demonstrated that she can be a bold leader in stormy times by working to ensure

After several weeks of declines, COVID-19 cases have once again been on the rise in Jefferson County.

Jefferson County Public Health’s Executive Director Mark B. Johnson told the Jeffco commissioners on Sept. 15, just over a week after Labor Day, that his agency was watching case trends closely after starting to see what he described as a “little ticking up again” in new cases.

Johnson said case numbers have been falling from early August from a high of around 700 new cases in two weeks to a low of 300 new cases recorded in the two weeks prior to Friday, Sept. 11. However, the two-week case total number then began to rise over the weekend of Sept. 12 with the county recording 336 new cases over the two weeks preceding Sept. 14.

“I’m not sure yet whether that is a trend we are going to see or whether it will again sort of stabilize and continue to go down,” he said. “But we are right at the period of time after the Labor Day weekend where we would be expecting to see cases if there were breaches of compliance over the holiday weekend.”

According to Johnson, current research suggests most people tend to exhibit symptoms five to seven days after contracting the virus (although it can take up to 14 days for some, and others never show symptoms at all) which meant that JCPH would only now start to get some sense of what the result of Labor Day would be.

Clear Creek closure allowed to expire Fencing along creek to be removed

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Golden’s city manager and police chief have allowed orders they put in place in August that completely closed off access to Clear Creek to expire.

According to a post on the city’s Facebook page, the order, which was put into place on Aug. 21, was set to expire at midnight on Sept. 15 and city staff chose to allow it to do so. As a result, the creek is now open for recreational activities and fencing around it has been removed.

“When the creek was closed it was done so in order to prevent the potential spread of the Covid-19 virus due to heavy usage of the creek corridor to protect the public health,” Golden Police

Chief Bill Kilpatrick said of the decision. “Given the time of year, the return of students to school and the expected cooler temperatures it was determined that there was no longer a need to keep the creek closed.”

The creek has been a subject of controversy this spring summer with the city implementing two different full closures in response to concerns about the possibility that COVID-19 could spread at the creek as well as policies intended to decrease that risk.

The city implemented the most recent closure after city staff and police made more than 900 contacts with individuals who were not following COVID-19-related social distancing and mask mandates while in or along the creek. 13 COVID-19 cases were reported in Golden during the two weeks prior to Sept. 14. There have been a total of 187 cases in Golden, according to Jefferson County Public Health.

JCPH Executive Director Johnson reflects on 30-year career

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 30 years and one COVID-19 pandemic while at the helm of Jeffco’s public health department, Dr. Mark B. Johnson is finally retiring from the JCPH. He had originally planned to retire in June but said he decided to stay to continue to guide the county through the COVID-19 pandemic and set it up to be in a good position to manage it after Johnson his departure.

“At that time I did not feel like I could leave,” Johnson said.

“We were gearing up on incident command and cases were increasing and things were looking bad.”

Johnson said that he decided to set a date to retire now because the overall COVID-19 situation had significantly improved with the rates of cases, hospitalizations and deaths all significantly increasing.

Still, he acknowledges that concerns about what will happen with COVID-19 in the fall as schools continue with their reopening and the flu returns had left him feeling “a little hesitant to leave to some degree.”

However, Johnson says that the health department had set up a good program for dealing with COVID-19, including the recent establishment of an Office of Pandemic Response staffed

with new employees who will handle contact tracing and other activities related to controlling the pandemic, that left him feeling that it was now appropriate to step away.

“I think the health department is in pretty good order as far as getting ready for things,” he said. “The question is will residents do what we ask of them to make sure that they keep social distancing and wearing masks to keep bringing those cases down?”

Search for new director underway With Johnson’s Oct. 2 retirement date now set, Jefferson County’s Board of Health has started the process of recruiting a new executive director. But in the interim, four long-time division directors will serve as a leadership board that will provide strategic direction for the public health of the county.

Because it is required by state law for county health departments to have a medical director on staff, Johnson will continue to serve in this role until the executive director position is filled.

Following his retirement, Johnson will serve as the elected president of the Colorado Medical Society, which is the largest organization of physicians in the state.

Public health fights past and present His departure, however, means the end of a long and eventful tenure at JCPH that has seen Johnson become involved in everything from efforts to improve air quality in Jeffco to advo-

cacy surrounding the safety of Rocky Flats.

Johnson said some of his biggest accomplishments include helping to establish the Colorado School of Public Health, which he said has dramatically improved the education level and professionalism in Colorado, and getting a rule enshrined in state statute that there must be a chief medical officer in the state health department if the director does not have a medical background.

“I think for my career one of the things that I am very proud about is that since I graduated from school to now as a nation we have cut in half the rates of smoking which has saved millions of lives,” he said. “I can’t take credit for all of that but as a member of the public health establishment that has worked hard on that through the years I am very proud of that.”

But while Johnson has faced his share of challenges, he said the criticism he has faced over the last six months has made them the hardest of his career.

“Every day I get emails and telephone calls telling me that I am ill-equipped to be the director and that I am breaking the law and breaking the constitution and that I am a joke,” Johnson said.

“There have been death threats and other threats against my body. That has been hard.”

However, he said he wants it to be known that those threats from the public have nothing to do with his decision

to retire, which he was already planning to do before the pandemic.

“I have had complete support from the board and both parties in the county commissioners,” he said. “They haven’t always agreed with me and we have had some discussions about things but I have felt full cooperation and support throughout this pandemic response.”

So what future public health challenges does Johnson have his eye on as he prepares to step away from JCPH? Climate change, which he said could lead to increased numbers of fires, floods and even pandemics.

“I think we are going to see more novel viruses as more forests around the world are destroyed and we encroach on more wildlife that we have not been exposed to before and get exposed to more viruses and bacteria,” he said. “And I think all of that ties into the devastation that climate change is causing.”

As he steps away, Johnson said he wants his last message to Jeffco residents to be one of gratitude.

“I would like the citizens to know how fortunate I feel that I have been able to work here,” he said. “And I would like them to know how hard their county staff work for them not just in the health department but across the county. Jeffco residents are getting their money’s worth in the services that are provided and I really wish I could do more to let the citizens know that.”

Days after Johnson’s report, the county two-week case numbers increased to 359 cases as of Sept. 17, the last day for which data was available prior to the publication deadline for this issue.

That was the highest number of cases in a two-week period since Sept. 6, when the county saw 361 new cases over the preceding two weeks.

The recent case increases, although still relatively small, stand in the way of the county’s ability to further loosen public health restrictions on businesses and public gatherings in Jeffco.

On Sept. 16, Gov. Jared Polis debuted a new framework for if and when Colorado counties

can move into various stages of the state reopening plan.

Johnson had previously told the commissioners that the county was close to meeting the criteria to move into the least restrictive level of the state reopening plan, which is known as the “protect our neighbors phase.” Under that phase, nearly all public and business activities can take place at 50% capacity.

There are eight benchmarks a county must meet to move into the Protect Our Neighbor phase, and Johnson said Jeffco was meeting seven of them as of Sept. 15. The one missing benchmark relates to the number of new cases in the county over the last two weeks, which counties can meet in multiple ways.

Johnson said the county is currently closest to meeting a measure requiring that counties have no more than 50

cases per 100,000 residents in a two-week period along with a stable test positivity rate below 5%, the latter of which Jeffco is already achieving.

For Jeffco to have fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 residents in a two-week period, the county would need to have 290 or fewer new cases in that time frame.

“We are very close to getting to the protect our neighbor stage,” Johnson said to the commissioners, pointing out that the county had been facing 700 new cased within a 2-week period at the height of the pandemic, so seeing numbers in the 300’s was a sign of progress.

Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper praised the community’s role in bringing numbers down.

“We want to thank our community for your efforts to help prevent the spread by wearing

your mask indoors and outdoors when you are with other folks and socially distancing and all of the things we know we need to do,” said Dahlkemper. “You really helped us get our numbers down when our variance was at stake but we’ve got to keep up the good work.”

But while the county continues to make progress on controlling COVID-19 and moving toward loosening restrictions, Johnson said JCPH expects it will be dealing with for “another year or two.”

“Even if a vaccine is found to be effective and is brought to market so that people can get it there are a number of people that are hesitating to get it and we are not sure exactly how long it is going to take to build herd immunity,” he said.

“We believe we are going to be seeing cases and doing contact tracing for quite a while.”

Experts Are Predicting a Surge in Foreclosures, But I See the Situation Differently With the continued high unemployment rate and the expiration of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), many homeowners are hurting, so it makes sense that we may have a foreclosure crisis in our future.

CoreLogic reported recently that back in June (when the Feds were still sending $600/week in PUA to Americans) the share of mortgages with payments 90 to 119 days late had already risen to 2.3%, “the highest level in 21 years.” A rate that high could result in a foreclosure crisis, the report said. Not only could millions of families potentially lose their home, but that would also create downward pressure on home prices.

But I see the situation differently, and after consulting with Jaxzann Riggs of The Mortgage Network, here’s why I don’t expect that flood of foreclosures.

First of all, foreclosure should only happen when a seller owes more on their home than it is worth. That’s because sellers lose all their accumulated equity in a foreclosure, and most people have accumulated a lot of equity thanks for the sellers’ market we have been experiencing.

Secondly, federally mandated forbearance is in effect which is unlike the forbearance delinquent borrowers may have enjoyed in the past. Under the current

Golden Real Estate Welcomes a New Broker Associate Tyler Scrable has joined Golden Real Estate as a broker associate. Formerly, Ty (as he likes to be called) was in the property management business while doing fix-and-flips on his own account. He lives in the 12th Street Historic District of Downtown Golden. His wife Rebecca works for BP, and they have an infant daughter.

Tyler got to know us when we donated a “#BlackLivesMatter” banner to Golden United and he, as co-chair of the Golden Antiracism Collective, lobbied the City Council to hang that banner under the Welcome Arch in downtown

Golden. As a compromise, the Council voted 6-1 to hang a banner that reads “Golden Stands With Black Lives” for 60 days (not all consecutive).

Ty will specialize, like the rest of us, in residential real estate, but is open to helping renters and landlords and would be interested in getting back into property management under Golden Real Estate’s name if the right opportunity presents itself. He previously managed 240 units in 12 buildings in downtown Denver.

plan, lenders add extra payments at the end of the loan instead of requiring any kind of catch-up payments. This mandate could be extended, too.

The only people likely to face foreclosure will be those who recently took out 100% VA loans or 96.5% FHA loans and for whom there is no equity to lose in a foreclosure action.

Being on forbearance doesn’t affect one’s credit rating even though you are not making payments (again, part of the federal mandate), but once you resume payments, you need to make a minimum of three on-time payments to qualify for a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan, which will restrict your ability to sell

your home and purchase a replacement home. Some lenders require six months post-forbearance loan payments.

That, too, will slow down any surge in what are known as “distressed listings.”

boutique hotels like The Ramble in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood.

“Overall Golden is a popular tourist destination and we felt like we wanted to kind of improve the hotel stay in Golden for visitors and that we could do something unique and give people a more upscale option,” said DeSimone.

The Eddy takes its name from river eddies, which the hotel’s style guide describes as “the gentle whirlpools where kayakers take refuge before running rapids downstream.” The concept of the hotel as both a place of refuge and gathering is central to the bar-forward ethos of the Eddy, said John Drugan, who will serve as the facility’s general manager.

“As you’re walking into the lobby you’re walking into this taproom and it’s going to be a very and it’s going to be very social and a very warm and welcoming environment,” said Drugan. “We are looking forward to partnering with the best of what Golden has to offer when it comes to local breweries.”

Those visiting the taproom will also be order food from the hotel’s food truck, which serves a menu focused on barbecue and milkshakes.

DeSimone said the hotel’s small size also will offer it the flexibility to offer more unique room types, including a two-bedroom suite geared toward families.

Confluence Companies is also aiming to make the hotel a destination for wedding and events and working with Colorado School of Mines on a deal to make the Eddy their preferred hotel as well, he said.

Beyond the modern comforts associated with any new upscale hotel, Drugan said one of the calling cards of the hotel will be its strong sense of place.

“The Eddy is being built on the historic brickworks location and their will be homages to that throughout the guest rooms and lobby space as well as a nod of appreciation to Golden’s miner history with the door numbers being displayed on the doors being displayed from old miner’s tags,” he said. “That’s what really excites me is being able to create a unique experience in a hotel that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.”

Although the Eddy is being constructed amid a pandemic that is wreaking havoc on the travel and hospitality industries, DeSimone said he feels his team has dodged a bullet because the hotel will not be opening until early 2021.

“I’m definitely happy we didn’t open this summer but I think sometimes things work out and we are going to be opening at the right time when people are going to be wanting to getting to travel,” he said.

Pink Progression uses social momentum for artistic exploration Exhibit uses unique installation spaces to tackle numerous issues

IF YOU GO WHAT: Pink Progression: Collaboration WHERE: Arvada Center 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

WHEN: Through Nov. 8 Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sunday: 1 to 5 p.m.

Getting wrapped up in current events and politics is an easy thing to do, especially in the social mediadriven discourse the country — and world — finds itself in. But local artist Anna Kaye was able to harness the energy from the first Women’s March in 2017 and turn it into an arts collective dedicated to creating works based on important issues of the day, a collective called Pink Progression.

“I was astounded by how many came out to march, and afterwards I asked some artist friends to keep the momentum going,” Kaye explained.

“Every exhibit we do focuses on a different theme, all around social action and creating social change.”

The collective’s latest exhibition, “Pink Progression: Collaborations,” is currently on display in all three of Arvada Center’s, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., galleries through Nov. 8. They are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. To allow for social distancing and capacity limitations, the Center has started a reservation system for the exhibition.

The show’s focus on collaboration means every piece on display is the result of at least two creatives working together. About 120 creatives of all ages and backgrounds participated, with the vast majority hailing from Colorado. Sometimes it was a pair of artists, but it could also be an artist and poet, filmmaker or even a choir. Many of the pieces are confined to wall space, but there are numerous works that make use of installation space in wildly creative ways, and mediums. This includes one work that uses bobcat taxidermy forms, another that uses silk sheets and one that creates a kind of woodland area in just a few feet.

“The initial concept of their work

Preparing the exhibit and getting it set up in the Center proved extremely challenging once the country entered the COVID-19 shut down in March and the following months, but Emily King, galleries exhibition manager and lead curator, along with Kaye and Collin Parson, were able to get the works set up in time for an opening that was delayed until July 3.

“So many shows and exhibitions were cancelled during the shutdown, so artists were thrilled to have this

These forms represent the actual deaths from Covid-19 in Colorado, and forms will continue to be added to the composition throughout the exhibition as cases continue to rise.

exhibit open,” King said. “I hope people who come see the exhibit are open and allow themselves to question their own thoughts. Seeing the artists’ views are really powerful.”

It’s fitting that the exhibit runs until just five days after Election Day, and the hope for Kaye, the Arvada Center and many of the artists is that people who view the works will be sparked to engage with others and learn more about differing viewpoints.

“The exhibit creates an artistic window into other people’s minds and allows us to view their perspectives and passions,” Kaye said. “At its best it promotes more conversation and more openness to new perspectives.”

“I know the heavy burden of government does not provide the opportunity for you to live your American dream,” she said. “I have always made sure the people’s voice is not outweighed by government intervention.”

Democrat Tracy Kraft-Tharp described her various experiences in local government, which have included serving on the Jeffco Public Schools Accountability Committee, and, most visibly, as a state representative since 2013.

She said she has earned a reputation at the legislature for being businessfriendly and considers working at simplifying the state’s sales and use tax as her premier accomplishment.

“Sales tax in Colorado is the most complicated in the country because we have our state system and then our local home rule system,” said Kraft-Tharp.

“We are working closely with Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul for Lakewood to join in to simplify that system because it’s pretty important to make sure businesses are not spending a day and a half every month submitting their sales tax.”

Kraft said there are three things that will be differentiate her: her accessibility, ability to bring people together and ability to get things done and not just talk, talk, talk.

Libertarian Party candidate Hans Roomer is also running for the District 1 position.

Board of Commissioners District 2 Race Republican Joni Inman discussed her deep roots in Jeffco, where she

attended Bear Creek High School and has raised her own family and worked in a variety of jobs.

“If you combine my professional experience as a business consultant, former deputy city manager and director of the mayor’s office in Lakewood as well as having served on the board of trustee’s and later as the VP of Public Affairs at St. Anthony’s hospital, I think you will agree that my management experience in both business and local government makes me the most qualified candidate for this office,” she said.

She said her priorities are responsible, competent management of taxpayer dollars, community safety, a flourishing business environment and empowering families in need.

Democrat Andy Kerr, who has served in the state legislature for 12 years, said he will bring his experience serving in both the state senate and house to the board, including experience chairing the education committees in both chambers.

He also discussed his ties to the county, where he grew up near Green Mountain and has taught at both Jeffco Public Schools and, currently, as an adjunct instructor at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.

He said his priorities will include revitalizing and recharging Jeffco’s economy and “making sure we are bringing our homegrown experience to the Jefferson County commission.”

“I want to make sure we are using science and data to address any crisis like the crisis we are facing right now,” he said.

State to add up to 62 ballot drop boxes for fall election

BY MARIANNE GOODLAND COLORADO POLITICS

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has announced that there will be 368 ballot drop boxes statewide for the Nov. 3 election.

“I am happy to announce that over the last two years Colorado has added 121 new drop boxes across the state for the 2020 General Election,” Griswold said in a Sept. 1 statement. “No American should have to choose between risking their health and exercising their right to vote. Drop boxes are a safe, secure and convenient way for Colorado voters to make their voices heard while social distancing, and are one of the reasons our elections are the nation’s gold standard.”

Funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to

the tune of $160,000 has paid for 42 new boxes. Twenty-seven Colorado counties applied for those additional drop boxes, and an additional 20 additional boxes may be added across the state by Election Day, Nov. 3, according to the statement.

Saguache County Clerk and Recorder Trish Gilbert said her county is getting three new ballot drop boxes, for a total of four. It’s one of the largest counties in Colorado geographically, with a scarce population in comparison, Gilbert said in the statement.

“Many of our towns are located a great distance from our Voter Service and Polling Center, and many of our voters are without reliable transportation. Additional drop boxes will provide a safe and efficient method for voters to return their ballots without needing to travel to our VSPC and put-

ting themselves, and others, at risk.”

Colorado has twice set new records for voter turnout, in 2018 and for the June 2020 presidential primary, in which 99.3% of those voting used mail-in ballots.

Griswold has been a staunch defender of mail-in voting in the wake of attacks by President Donald Trump, who has falsely claimed mail-in voting will result in fraud. There is no evidence of voting fraud tied to mail-in voting, either in Colorado or nationwide. Trump himself votes by mail, and did so for the Florida primary.

Ballot drop boxes are sturdy, metallic, weather-resistant and bolted to the ground. Colorado law also requires that all drop boxes be kept under 24hour video surveillance with adequate lighting.

When drop boxes are emptied, they

are done so at least every 24 hours by a team of bipartisan election judges who must maintain a detailed chain of custody log when transporting ballots between drop boxes and the central counting facility.

With 368 drop boxes statewide, there is now one drop box for approximately every 9,400 Colorado active registered voters, according to the statement.

Colorado will also have approximately 330 voting centers open, with many opening 15 days before Election Day per Colorado state law. Each voting center will have COVID-19 related procedures in place to ensure in-person voting is as safe as possible.

Commissioners pass climate resolution

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Jeffco Commissioners voted 2-1 on Sept. 14 to pass a resolution acknowledging the nation’s global climate crisis and committing the county to taking certain local actions to help address the crisis, including implementing a climate action plan and a target for reducing countywide greenhouse gas emissions.

Commissioners Casey Tighe and Lesley Dahlkemper, both Democrats,

voted for the resolution while Commissioner Libby Szabo, a Republican, voted against it.

The resolution declares addressing climate change to be a critical priority for Jefferson County and commits the county to ensuring the county’s actions remain in alignment with the most current scientific findings regarding climate change.

It also commits the county to developing a Climate Action Plan, which it describes as a strategic planning process for developing goals, policies

and programs to reduce the county’s greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

The resolution also commits the county to undertaking the organization Local Governments for Sustainability’s Climate Cohort to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions throughout the community.

It outlines several steps the county will take to do so, including conducting a county greenhouse gas inventory and forecast and establishing targets for reducing greenhouse gases and adopting renewable energy.

Szabo said she decided to vote against the resolution because she felt the information presented in support of it by the Jeffco Sustainability Commission only presented “one side of the argument on climate control and climate change.”

She also expressed concern about the impact the steps outlined in the resolution could have on poorer Jeffco residents by resulting in increased costs for energy and said she wanted to see a resolution tailored more specifically to Jeffco as the current one was committing Jeffco to taking steps that other communities would not take.

“This resolution cannot work if the rest of the world is not changing its behaviors,” she said. “Jefferson County cannot carry the burden of the world’s behaviors. I would rather see a resolution for what Jeffco can actually do.”

Tighe, however, argued that he felt that it is possible to make clean energy affordable and said the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden could play a part in that solution.

AUMC celebrates 150th with hope, honks Congregants say church has long been a pillar of acceptance and community

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During its many decades of operation, the congregation at the Arvada United Methodist Church has withstood everything from the Great Depression, which left it with $3.35 in the bank at one point, to recent divisions over same sex marriage.

So it should be no surprise that neither the COVID-19 pandemic nor the smoky Arvada air created by ongoing wildfires could keep the church’s congregants from celebrating their 150th anniversary with one of the drive-in services the church has adopted in recent months in response to the challenge posed by the pandemic.

It was a celebration that could be heard from blocks around as many of the nearly 100 cars joyfully honked their horns in celebration of the church’s milestone birthday.

“What I love about this celebration is that you are not celebrating a building that is 150 years old you are celebrating a community of faith that has been in this community,” said Karen Oliveto, the United Methodist Bishop of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Utah who led the Sept. 20 birthday service as a guest of the church.

That community traces its history back to 1859, when men riding on horseback to evangelize the new frontier would visit gold miners work-

But it was the church’s official founding in 1870, when it counted 30 members including Arvada co-founder Benjamin Wadsworth, that the birthday celebration commemorated.

Camille Parker, who has been attending Arvada UMC since 1970, said that for her the church has always meant an open community whose

ethos is summarized by the church’s old tag line “a church where science, religion and life are compatible.”

“That to me sums up who the church is: it’s very openminded and progressive yet it asks a lot of tough questions and it doesn’t shirk away from the questions that the community and congregation asks,” Parker said. “I and apparently a lot of the people who go here like the fact that it is a thinking person’s church but still very spiritual.”

However, Arvada UMC has also long been guided by another saying — “there is room at the table for all.”

That saying dates back to Pastor Earl Hanna, who died earlier this year and was the longest serving pastor at the church.

That saying is embodied by the role the church plays in the larger community life in Arvada by putting on such SEE AUMC, P11

Bishop Karen Oliveto preaches during Arvada United Methodist Church’s 150th birthday service on Sept. 20.

ARVADA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH HISTORY 1866: A Methodist minister holds a religious service in the new log home of Oliver Graves.

1870: The Arvada United Methodist Church officially begins as the Arvada Community Methodist Church (this is the first formal mention of the church in the Methodist Conference). The first services are believed to have been held in the old Grange Hall. The membership of the church was 30 and included Arvada co-founder Benjamin Franklin Wadsworth.

1871: Wadsworth donates the land at the current site of 57th Avenue and Webster Street where a simple frame church was built.

1892: A larger church is built on the site at the cost of $4,000.

1932: The church’s board votes to turn off the gas after the church’s balance falls to $3.35.

1955: Reverend Earl Hanna, the church’s longest serving pastor, begins his pastorship.

1958: The church purchases 5 ½ acres of land at its current location in Aug. 1958.

1963: The current church opens at Carr Street and West 68th Avenue.

1989: Reverend Hanna retires.

2020: The church celebrates its 150th anniversary with a socially-distanced celebration.

activities as its annual community August picnic.

Each week, members of the congregation also make 300 burritos that are distributed at The Rising Church, a church in Olde Town Arvada that serves residents dealing with poverty, addiction, marginalization and other issues.

Arvada UMC has also been involved in constructing and donating Habitat for Humanity homes.

“This church is constantly searching for things to do for the congregation and the community,” said Bob Stolte, who began attending Arvada UMC as a child during World War II (Stolte’s wife, Barb, is an employee of Colorado Community Media).

“And I think that is the future of this church.”

That sentiment was echoed by the church’s lead Pastor Amy Gearhart.

“Most churches in our country don’t get to experience a 150th celebration, so we are richly blessed,” Gearhart said. “We also want to continue to be a blessing to our community and region through partnerships to serve the hungry, lonely, homeless, hopeless, and marginalized.”

During the birthday service, Oliveto repeatedly returned to the message that the story of the church was one of hope and extolled the congregation to see the church as a source of hope amidst the trouble and despair that have defined much of 2020.

Around 100 cars turned out for the Arvada United Methodist Church’s 150th birthday service.

“The forebears of your church did not turn themselves solely inward and their remained throughout the 150 years of this church a deep commitment to bring hope healing and restoration of healthy humanity for a broken world,” she said.

“They never stopped hoping and they never stopped working for a better world. And now we are being asked the same.”

VOICES

A key leadership quality that we all need right now ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

W

hen you think of a leader, who comes to mind? A teacher? A parent, a sibling? A boss, a colleague?

A volunteer, friend, neighbor?

Elected officials locally, nationally, globally?

Most of us have someone (or multiple someones) we admire and we often think of these people as leaders, just as I admire my friend and colleague Carmel Mawle, founder and president of the international organization Writing for Peace. As a member of the organization’s board of directors, I continue

to be inspired by Carmel’s perennial, groundbreaking leadership.

Recently, while cleaning my office (tip: don’t ever do this) I came across an article by Elizabeth Jeffries, writing in Credit Union Management. Jeffries offers strategies to lead people through change, and, boy, are we in times of change … violent uncontrollable weather, raging life-eating wildfires, the global pandemic and the uncontestably polarized and divisive state of our nation.

The goal of effective leadership, Jeffries

writes, is to help move people through change to a healthy level of acceptance and action.

Acceptance seems to be in short supply right now, and action seems to depend on what side of deeply contentious issues we’re on. However, Jeffries notes that change itself is usually not the culprit that incites resistance, but rather the translation – “the process people go through to adjust to the change.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Repeal Gallagher Please join us in voting ‘Yes’ on Amendment B to repeal the Gallagher Amendment to prevent additional funding cuts to our schools.

As a long time advocates for public education funding, one of the first lessons we learned was how much our schools rely on our local property taxes. In Jeffco, 48% of our property taxes go to fund our schools. School districts rely on local funding first before receiving the state’s share.

What is not covered by the local level is backfilled by the state. The state’s funding already is not adequately fulfilling that need; we now have a Budget Stabilization Factor of well over $1 Billion (dollars the state owes public K-12). Further reductions at the local level would be devastating to our schools. Jeffco Public Schools’ current estimate is a loss of $30M. In May, the State Property Tax Administrator JoAnn Groff informed the Joint Budget Committee that the expected drop in the Residential Assessment Rate (determined by Gallagher) will mean a $246 million drop in school district Total Program Funding revenues — which the state

will have to backfill in 2021-22 — making for a $490 million drop in all district revenues. She expected a $203 million drop in revenues for counties.

(Jefferson County expects to see a $29M decrease in revenue.)

Amendment B preserves local funding for our public schools and other local districts.

Without it, schools, counties, fire & special districts will face massive budget cuts.

ife comes at you fast, doesn’t it?

On Wednesday, I saw something in the news, and it seemed like, yep, that’s the topic of this week’s HITTING column. The item was reporting on HOME a study that found that just over onethird of millennials know that the Holocaust killed six million Jews. And, I guess, in and of itself, the number “six million” isn’t really all that important, except that Michael Alcorn it does convey the sheer scope of the horror. And, also, it’s not like six million is a difficult number to remember. But what was important about that article was how it highlights the sense of just how bad our teaching of history is.

Remember a few years ago, when a school board member had the temerity to suggest that a new history curriculum was inadequate, and they got kicked out of office for it? Yeah ... maybe they had something.

But then, I put that column on hold. There was a shooting at the Walmart in Lakewood—which is about 4 miles from where I grew up — and the suspect was killed by police shortly after. I figured that had the potential to be the topic of this week’s column, but nothing much more came of that story.

Wonder why that is?

And, yes, I did note in the interim that the Colorado High School Activities Association made an extra contribution to last week’s column by reversing itself *again* and allowing football to proceed this fall.

Then, of course, everything seemed to change Friday night with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Not that that’s a topic for local discussion, except in so far as it impacts an already contentious U.S. Senate

race here in Colorado. If you thought things were going to be ugly through October before, I suggest you strap in — there may be no period of time in American history short of 1861 to compare to what the next 45 days bring us.

And, of course, in this whole process, we’re all going to completely forget that one of RBG’s closest friends while they were both alive was Antonin Scalia — her philosophical diametric opposite.

Not enough? No. then Saturday I hear from a close friend that one of his children was involved in a serious accident.

And all the other stuff fades to the background.

Are you tired, too?

I know my story is, really, nothing.

It has been met and, probably exceeded, by many of you in any number of ways over the last six months.

Those of you who are dealing with serious health issues, who have been personally effected by COVID, who have felt the effects of our lockdown in mental health terms, not to mention single parents or business owners trying to navigate all of the economic disruption while raising families. I feel for you.

2020 has had a number of deleterious effects on all of us, but perhaps the most evil has been the heightened sense of *everything*. You take people out of their routines, and buffet them relentlessly with news for a few months about how they’re going to die unless… Add to that a political environment that is, at best, toxic, and, while everybody is locked in their homes with 24/7 cable news, you put on endless loop scenes of our toxic polity and violent culture. We are all amped up.

2020 is exhausting.

And it’s not over. I have a sneaking suspicion the next couple weeks are going to be explosive, even for

Some tips for a DIY Colorado Octoberfest AVENUE FLASHES

I

guess this has become everyone’s recent catch phrase- Normally, at this time of year, we would be (fill in your favorite activity here.) But, of course, this year isn’t normal and you can’t do so many really important things, it’s hard to even think about going places just for fun that you used to head to every year.

So, normally, I’d be writing about a slew of Oktoberfests going on in the area at this time of year, but I can’t confirm that a single one is still happening. I know Denver has canceled their big one, but so have almost all other places. They have even canceled the best known, major league one in Munich. One way I could tell you this for sure, without even having to look it up, was by talking with a friend of mine who plays with a very popular German band that is always booked solid for every polka party during September and October. I’m talking about 2-3 gigs per day, every weekend, all over the state. This year? They have two gigs booked, and none of them are for any Oktoberfests. I guess if they still can’t put fans in sports stadiums, figuring out how to manage crowds elbow to elbow drinking beer, eating food from vendors and packing a dance floor is probably quite a ways off yet.

But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have your own private Oktoberfest at home. I know that doesn’t sound like much fun and maybe a lot of work, but trust me, you can do this quite easily and make it into a

for Writing for Peace, develop and articulate a clear mission, vision and values to guide others. These leaders create, commit to and communicate a learning plan that makes sense to me – effective leadership that includes the “attitudes, knowledge, skills and behavior” of a changed culture. This holds true for a classroom, an employee or volunteer team, or a society hungry for clarity.

But leaders don’t – and can’t – do it alone. Especially in times of turmoil and change, leaders must also rely on others who “catch the vision.” I remember clearly the day I met Carmel when she was just founding Writing for Peace. It only took me an instant to catch her vision and say, “I’m in.” I encourage all of us to evaluate those who have caught a leader’s vision and decide how this fits with our own personal goals and visions.

And of course, we all stumble, sometimes more than we care to admit. That’s why – especially amid

little adventure.

So, first of all you are going to need some beer. Not just any beer, but Oktoberfest beer. You can approach this in two ways. One is to grab a case of some regular German beer right from the old country, the stuff you find all the time in the liquor store cooler. Beck’s is probably the best known example of that type of thing, but there are more. Option number two is to look for a seasonal brew made just for Oktoberfest from one of our local breweries here in Colorado.

Local Oktoberfest beer? Really? Yes, and you have more to choose from that you might imagine. I found this website, Porchdrinking.com, that has a list of over 60 Colorado breweries that are releasing something special for the season. I can’t list them all here, but if you go to their website you can find the article and check them out.

Looking for those should keep you occupied for a while and make for a very entertaining scavenger hunt.

OK, so next on the list is the food. Yes, German cooking is an art unto itself, but you don’t need to go all gourmet for a home Oktoberfest. Just head to the grocery store and grab a few easy things.

Start off with some Brats. You can cook those on the barbecue or just grill them in a pan. You’re also going to want some Sauerkraut. They also have that at the grocery store, but if you really want to add

change and uncertainty – leaders celebrate successes, no matter how small. Look to those you admire to join in these successes … there is much to despair right now but there are also glimmers of hope for surviving the pandemic and for easing the social tensions that have torn at the fabric of civil society.

Fortunately, we can usually recognize good leadership. We can instantly see and feel when someone lights the way by modeling the changes they want to help create. In trying times, we instinctively turn to leaders who build trust and credibility by being honest about change.

Out of all of this, what seems important to me right here, right now, is that we need to seek out and recognize leaders who exemplify our own personal values, leaders who are full of hope and vision and possibilities of what can be … leaders who take us with them in acceptance, action and the celebration of success.

Andrea Doray is a writer who is celebrating 10 years of success with Writing for Peace. Contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

a bit of authenticity to the whole thing, head to one of the international market stores and look for a jar of Hengstenberg Bavarian Style from Germany. That’s the real deal and trust me on this one, it’s worth checking out. Add to that a can of German potato salad from the canned vegetable aisle that you can just heat up in a pan, a loaf of rye bread or just some hot dog buns plus some spicy mustard and your food is good to go.

Now, as far as music goes, just search the Internet for German polka music.

There’s a ton of it on there you can either stream or download and some of it is totally free.

Now as far as wardrobe goes, well if you have some lederhosen or a dirndl dress, well just put it on with an alpine hat. But, since you are doing this at home, you could just wear a pair of shorts, your bathrobe or a baseball cap, who cares?

You can even give yodeling a shot. If you keep it up long enough your dogs might even join in. So, have a some fun with this and next year, we’ll do this all together, in person somewhere, OK? Prost!

Curious sights around metro area tell historic tales

ith many Coloradans still avoiding large crowds with the continued risk of COVID-19, some may be taking a better look at what’s in their neighborhood — or even driving around with no particular place to go.

Wandering eyes may pick up on odd or unusual sights in the Denver metro area — such as a Native American tipi near an upscale suburban neighborhood or, say, a 30-foot cowboy statue overlooking a busy city road.

Here’s the story behind some sights that may inspire curiosity around the Denver metro area.

A cowboy on Federal Those who have driven north of Denver on North Federal Boulevard may have been struck with the sight of a giant cowboy looming over the traffic.

“I have people who pull over and want to take pictures of him, especially with tourists,” said Jeffry Cook, park manager at Rustic Ranch Mobile Home and RV Park.

The park just south of Interstate 76 is home to the detailed cowboy statue, which was originally intended as part of an amusement park that never materialized, according to an old news article clipping Cook has. But it ended up as part of the mobile home park instead.

Built in the 1950s by Colorado artist John Sutton, the cowboy has become something of a local landmark. Cook, 54, remembers seeing the statue as a child.

“A fun fact for you is that the ‘American Pickers’ came to this park,” Cook said, referring to the show on the History Channel. The show tried to buy the cowboy several years ago, according to Cook.

any of us have spent the majority of the last six months or so in our homes, which means at some point we’ve had to reckon with the design choices we’ve made. There’s a reason so many people have COMING tackled projects ATTRACTIONS around the house during this time.

So, as we head into the colder months (when we’re likely to spending much more time inside) this year’s Doors Open Denver not only provides Clarke Reader participants the chance to get some design inspiration from some of the metro area’s most fascinating buildings, it also allows the opportunity to safely, and virtually, explore some new locales.

“This year is all about access,” said Pauline Herrera, executive director of the Denver Architecture Foundation, which presents the annual event. “Doing the virtual experience is a new approach for us, but we’ve had a lot of fun with it. With in-person tours we were limited to how many people could participate, but virtually we can offer more people the chance to see these places.”

Doors Open Denver runs from Monday, Sept. 28 through Thursday, Oct. 15. Virtual tours will be available from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Monday through Thursday. Some of the tours were pre-recorded, but others will be live. And each tour will conclude with a live questionand-answer session.

“It’s important that we offer that continued engagement with people, so we’re excited to have the question-and-answer sessions,” Herrera said. “And with our threeweek run someone could do all the tours, which is difficult to do in the one weekend we normally do.”

Over the last 16 years, sites of all kinds have been explored by participants, but Herrera said it’s key that every year there are fresh properties to be explored. That goal was particularly important this year, and it has resulted in some exclusive experiences for those who take part.

Highlights include the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Freyer-Newman Center, which hasn’t been open to the public yet. Virtual visitors will get a look at the Helen Fowler Library, art galleries, herbaria, classrooms and the School of Botanical Illustration. And people will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the Museo de las Américas and its exhibit, “Rhythm and Ritual: Music of the Ancient Americas.” Curator Jared Katz will be performing as part of this tour.

In the mobile home park’s 106 units, most residents have lived at the park for at least 20 to 25 years, Cook estimates.

He hopes the cowboy carries some sentimental meaning for those who call the place home.

“I guarantee you that if the cowboy wasn’t there tomorrow, everybody would be knocking on my door asking where the cowboy went,” Cook said.

The park sits just outside northwest Denver in unincorporated Adams County, near Arvada and Westminster.

Tipi along the prairie Along Aurora’s east edge, not far from east Centennial, stands a large gate that bears the word “Plains.”

It’s the entrance to Plains Conservation Center, a nature preserve and educational center that houses replicas of a Native American tipi camp and homestead village, showcasing life on the plains in the late 1800s, according to the City of Aurora’s website.

The center encompasses more than 1,100 acres of shortgrass prairie with views of the Rocky Mountains, located at 21901 E. Hampden Ave., west of toll highway E-470.

In June 1950, the land was deeded to what became the West Arapahoe Conservation District, and the land was formally christened the Plains Conservation Center, according to the center’s website.

In 1997, 1,100 acres were sold to the City of Aurora to remain as passive-use open space, with the center continuing to manage the land and offer programs, the site says.

North metro residents may be familiar with Adams City High School, which sits along North Quebec Parkway near East 72nd Avenue.

But the name Adams City doesn’t denote an actual city — the school sits in Commerce City.

The Adams City name dates back to an area that was laid out around 1902 with developers hoping that Adams County’s seat — the city or

Other available tours include Lumina, mansions of the Quality Hill Neighborhood, Denver International Airport’s public art collection and the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library.

“We have a really good balance between historic and modern/contemporary locations, as well as a mix of cultural offerings,” Herrera said. “This event really embodies the foundation and our mission: Inspiring people to explore our dynamic city, experience the importance of design to our quality of life and envisioning an exceptional future for Denver.”

town that serves as a county’s governmental center — would be established there, according to the Commerce City Historical Society.

But Brighton was elected as the county seat in November 1904. Adams City never became a town and was vacated by 1922, the historical society’s website says.

The South Adams County Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1942, and Adams City was beginning to redevelop with new houses being built. In 1946-47, Adams County School District 14 was formed from surrounding schools, with the first official class from Adams City High School graduating in 1949, according to the website. That school took the place of Union High School, the region’s earlier school, according to an unofficial website for Adams City High alumni and a timeline by the historical society.

The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District was formed in 1951 at the same time Denver was considering annexing, or taking control of, the south Adams area. A plan to incorporate all of southern Adams County — meaning to declare the area as its own city or town — was developed,

after their return to society.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Whitney from Evanston SPACE Whitney — an indie rock/folk group lead by Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich — specializes in the kind of music that sounds the best when the leaves are changing color and coats come out of closets. The folk side of their music carries just enough warmth and familiarity to pair perfectly with the alt-rock side of the equation.

Their most recent album, “Candid,” is a collection of covers, from a variety of sources — familiar names like John Denver and SWV, and more idiosyncratic artists like Moondog and the Roches. In lieu of touring, the group will be performing a livestreamed show from Evanston SPACE at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

according to the historical society. In July 1952, a group of about 300 residents voted for incorporation of Commerce Town, comprising neighborhoods such as Rose Hill, Adams City, Dupont and Irondale.

Commerce Town annexed part of the Derby area in 1962, increasing the population fourfold. That was enough for the town to gain status as a city, and its name was then changed to Commerce City, according to the historical society.

At least one business — Adams City Liquor — still carries the area’s old name along with Adams City Middle School.

Four Mile, 17 Mile, 20 Mile Drivers who frequent South Parker Road may recall a large barn a short drive south of East Arapahoe Road.

Located just south of Centennial, the 17 Mile House is one of several inns that emerged along Cherry Creek for travelers and freighters when the 1859-60 gold rush caused largescale settlement of the state, according to the Arapahoe County website.

The property is an Arapahoe County park that sits at 8181 S. Parker Road, just north of the Town of Parker.

The story of his life defies an easy summation - his civil rights struggles, governmental work and role as the “conscience of Congress” deserve indepth and careful study.

But the new documentary “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” at least begins to address the impact of his lie. And the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is taking part in a nationwide watch, along with more than 60 arts and cultural institutions.

In addition to the film, there’s two ex-

two to three miles along the Cherokee/Smoky Hill wagon trails from Kansas, named based on their distance to the intersection of Colfax Avenue and North Broadway in Denver, according to the website.

Out of the original six mile houses, only 17 Mile House and Four Mile House exist in their entirety today, the website says.

The buildings also included Seven Mile House, Nine Mile House, 12 Mile House and 20 Mile House, according to the National Register of Historic Places.

At mile houses, travelers could get a meal, spend the night, rest their animals and have minor repairs made to coaches or wagons, according to the Arapahoe County website.

The 17 Mile barn was constructed in the late 1870s, according to a county news release.

Construction likely began on what was to become the 20 Mile House around the mid-to-late 1860s, according to the Parker Area Historical Society.

The old 20 Mile House property continued to be a working farm until the mid-1990s, when the property was acquired by developers. Eventually, the cinderblock portion was torn down and the small plot of land on which the 20 Mile House structure was built was donated to the Town of Parker. With the help of the historical society, the original post office portion was restored and surrounded by a small park, according to the historical society’s website.

The 20 Mile Post Office sits on Mainstreet, a short drive west of Parker Road — and close to Twenty Mile Road.

Four Mile Historic Park sits in Denver, a short drive from South Colorado Boulevard and Leetsdale Drive.

to have wolves back in our Western mountains is an audacious act of hope.

Norman A.Bisop, Bozeman, MT.

Wolves help the environment Growing up on either side of Washington Park, it didn’t occur to me that something was missing from Colorado’s wild country on the other side of Mount Evans. It wasn’t until I was enrolled in Forest Recreation and Wildlife Management courses that CSU professor JVK Wagar introduced me to A Sand County Almanac, in which Aldo Leopold, the father of game management in America wrote much about wolves. He shot one, and over the course of his career, rued it, writing: “Since then I have lived to see … every edible bush and seedling browsed … to death.”

Elk are more numerous now in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming than when wolves were returned in 1995, and wolves are continuing their work of keeping their prey healthy.

Livestock losses are minuscule: examining 2015 figures on cattle losses in the northern Rocky Mountains by counties shared with wolves, we see an inventory of 1,648,100 cows, and 148 losses to wolves, or a rate of about .01%. Wolves are taking less than 1 head of cattle per 10,000 annually, and about 3 sheep per 10,000 present. None of the 110 million visitors to Yellowstone have been hurt, and no one in wolf country has caught anything harmful from a wolf. The park ecosystem has been rejuvenated; visitors are flocking to the park to see wolves.

Proposition 114, to restore wolves to Colorado’s western slope, will be on this November’s ballot. Voting

Overdue change Citizens of Congressional District 7 have a strong honorable candidate running for office this election cycle.Casper Stockham is a Gulf War veteran with 14 years of service in the United States Air Force.He is an ethical energetic accomplished leader who is also a business owner and the author of two books.A strong family values man who cherishes civility.Border security, free market health care, quality education, school choice, legal immigration, second amendment rights and “made in the USA” (jobs) are what he will fight for.All of which are under condemnation by his opponent Ed Perlmutter and his party the radical militant left.

Jefferson County, Golden, other municipalities, corporations, and fellowship groups are instituting diversity/antiracism resolutions and discussions.If these organizations and associations honestly believe these resolutions and conferences are worthy and constructive, then it is the time for the citizenry to act positively.A show of support by voting Casper, a highly credentialed qualified enthusiastic candidate into Congress will validate their sincere commitment.It is time for a monumental transformation, replace a stagnant inactive career politician (13 years), to represent the good folks of CD7. A vote for Casper will bring about this desperately needed overdue change.

Charles Palmer, Golden

Ecological engines I am spending much time with wolves as a volunteer. I am dismayed by vitriolic and unfounded anti-wolf propaganda. Wolves are not savage beasts — they are highly intelligent, social and more like humans than humans want to admit.

Wolves were extirpated from the US on a narrative based largely on human mythology and political expediency. In the early 1600’s the US started and continues to wage a war on wolves, and by extension on nature. Wolves are ecological engines.

Widespread ecological degradation is result of mindless and vicious destruction of this keystone species.

Yellowstone National Park today is clear evidence that the reintroduction of wolves initiated a trophic cascade. The resultant balance and stability in eco systems, is something in these corrosive and divisive times that Coloradans agree on. A recent CSU survey found that over 84% of our citizens support wolf reintroduction; the support spans every part of the state.

Any serious opposition to wolf reintroduction, must be factual, and lack the “mythological” component.

Wolves prefer prey such as deer, elk, moose; cattle predation in 2015 was less than 0.01%.

Nature’s health and human health are tightly linked. I would urge Coloradan to vote YES on Proposition 114 and give wolves back their rightful place in nature. Restoration of the Gray Wolf will harken back to the times when nature was in balance - when wolves and humans co-existed and co-operated with each other.

Rainer W. Gerbatsch, Arvada Hickenlooper for senate I encourage Coloradans to vote for John Hickenlooper for senate this November.Hickenlooper represents mainstream views while his opponent sides with Trump almost every time.

Hickenlooper believes in expanding the Affordable Care Act, including coverage for pre-existing conditions, instead of decimating it.As Governor, he expanded Medicaid and established Connect for Health Colorado where people can get subsidies to help afford coverage.Hickenlooper supports a public option to further expand coverage at the national level.John’s opponent voted repeatedly to repeal the ACA which would mean losing coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Hickenlooper will rely on science to guide a national response to COVID-19.He will support Americans economically until we control the virus. His opponent follows Mitch McConnell, refusing to support continued unemployment payments.

Hickenlooper advocates for economic policies that lessen the gap between rich and poor, including raising the minimum wage, tuition free community college, and creating clean energy jobs.His opponent voted for the Republican tax cut for the wealthy, and routinely sides with large corporations instead of small businesses.

And maybe the most important reason –electing Hickenlooper is the path to flipping the Senate and removing Mitch McConnell from his position of power. Whether your passion is funding for COVID relief, a Green New Deal, reversing Trump’s tax cut for the rich, or anything else, it will die in the Senate until we get rid of Mitch.

Please consider supporting John Hickenlooper this November, and sharing your support with your friends. Let’s ditch Mitch!

Robin Kupernik, Arvada A rough year Wow 2020. Just wow. It seems like one thing just gets piled on top of the next. Pandemic. Deaths. Financial crises. Hurricanes. Fires. It’s oppressive. The influx of information is constant. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose focus.

There are many things we need to address, but one important thing is to continue to push for a COVID-19 relief package. People are continuing to struggle due to the effects of Coronavirus. We have a housing crisis and a hunger crisis going on. Our legislators have procrastinated long enough on passing a new coronavirus relief package. This is urgent! There are millions of people who are truly struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, amidst all the craziness that 2020 has brought.

A bi-partisan COVID relief proposal was released last week. We need our legislators to act now and pass this proposed package. I’m calling on Cory Gardner, Michael Bennett, and President Donald Trump to pass a relief package that is robust and supportive for Americans who are struggling to make ends meet right now due to this pandemic.

Art project designed to show senior passions in the works in Lakewood Passions Project captures seniors doing their thing

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Boulder-based photographer Heidi Wagner, said that during the pandemic, she’s heard people dismiss the importance of older adults are to our society.

“I want people to see and understand how important older adults are to the richness of our culture. We are all so divided, and we love to put each other in boxes and keep ourselves separate from people who are different,” said Wanger.

Rather than dismissing what seniors’ add to society, Wagner wants people to see seniors for more than just being old. And she is working to show seniors in a different light through the Passions Project — a photo series where Wagner captures seniors doing what they are passionate about. Wagner has taken portrait photos of seniors who like to paint, play basketball, play instruments, sing and more, and her and her camera are coming to Lakewood.

Co-sponsored by the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District, which promotes businesses along the Alameda Corridor, and the Village at Belmar senior living facility, Wagner will take portrait shots of up to 20 seniors throughout Lakewood. Those photos will then be displayed in the Denver metro area, including at the Lakewood Cultural Center at 470 S. Allison Parkway.

“I always say that I don’t work with old people. I work with cool people and get to hear cool stories,” said Wagner.

“Anytime you can hear someone’s story, it deepens your understanding of who people are. I think it makes lives richer. I get to do that all the time.”

Wagner has carried out 15 different Passions Project series in 10 states like Montana, California, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Colorado where one of her series was displayed at the Frasier Meadows retirement facility in Boulder - the place where Village at Belmar cofounder Phil Shapiro first learned of her work.

Shapiro said Wagner’s worked resonated with him and knew he wanted to have her come take photos of Lakewood’s senior residents.

“Age prejudice has always been the focal point of anyone in the aging or senior living field. This is an opportunity to give something positive to the market, teach about elderly people and their lives and to teach who they are and what they came from,” said Shapiro.

The Alameda area has seen new artwork sprout up throughout the year like hand sanitizer stations decorated by local artists and traffic electrical boxes wrapped in vinyl that display nature themes. Tom Quinn, executive director of Alameda Connects, a nonprofit that promotes the Alameda Corridor, said the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District sees art like Wagner’s portraits as having major economic benefits for a community like Lakewood.

“The Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District saw an opportunity with the Passions Project to partner with the Village at Belmar to

promote awareness and educate our community on ageism,” said Quinn.

“We look forward to sharing these wonderful portraits of Lakewood residents actively living their passions,” he added.

Before Wagner takes the portrait photos, a selection committee made up of local business and aging service leaders will select up to 20 residents to participate in the project. You can nominate a senior at alamedacon-

nects.org/about-the-bid/the-passionsproject/. The selection committee will choose which residents get to be photographed in the coming weeks.

“There are incredible lives, and people are doing such cool things. I think that’s lost on so many people when you are getting older,” said Wagner.

“I think people dismiss and minimize people of having value and as we age, we have value. I want people to see the value of all.”

Wheat Ridge softball gets back on track in 4A Jeffco

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — Wheat Ridge’s softball team didn’t have any time to dwell over its first loss of the season.

Less than 24 hours after the Farmers — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A rankings — suffered a 7-6 loss to Bear Creek, Wheat Ridge was back on the field Sept. 15 to face rival Golden in another 4A Jeffco League game.

“It was drilled into us right at the end of the (Bear Creek) game,” Wheat Ridge senior Amaya Ruiz said of how important it was for the Farmers to bounce back. “We have to stay humble. We can’t be perfect every single game. We came out today and did our best.”

Golden (4-8, 1-3 in league) came in to the Farmers’ home field on a 4-game winning streak and grabbed an early 1-0 lead with an RBI single by senior Caitlyn Stevens. However, it was all Farmers from there on out.

Wheat Ridge (10-1, 3-1) had an 11run bottom of the 2nd inning sending 14 batters to the plate. Ruiz had a 2-run double and senior Cassie Uhl highlighted the inning with a 2-run home run to finish off the 11-run inning.

“We had to respond after Golden’s run,” Ruiz said of Wheat Ridge scoring 11 runs in the bottom of the second inning.

Juniors Bella Martinez and Aaliyah Arellano each had RBIs in the third inning to push the Farmers’ lead to 13-1 through three innings.

Senior Jalesa Lujan got the win on the mound for the Farmers. She was able to scatter four Demon hits.

“We still have a lot of things to address,” Wheat Ridge coach Marty Stricklett said. “I would have honestly liked to practice today, but for

team morale it was probably good that we had a game today.”

Stricklett coached the Farmers to four 4A state titles — 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013 — is back at Wheat Ridge on a one year before assistant coach Dave Theis takes over the program. Stricklett most recently coached at Brighton, while Theis was at Grandview before both returned to Wheat Ridge this season. Theis coached the Wolves to a 5A state title in 2014.

The Farmers will have to make up some ground and likely win their remaining five conference games to win the league title and clinch the automatic 4A state tournament bid.

“We were just flat,” Stricklett said of the loss against Bear Creek which was just Stricklett’s second league loss in 13 years coaching high school softball at Wheat Ridge and Brighton. “We hit one ball hard yesterday.

At lot of that had to do with Bear Creek’s pitcher (Jordyn Johnson).

We gave up six runs early and that buried us.”

The last conference loss for Stricklett was in 2014 in a no-hit loss against Valor Christian.

“If you don’t give 100 percent you are going to lose ball games. We learned that yesterday,” Stricklett said. “We learned what our true 100 percent has to be.”

Wheat Ridge has a tough nonleague test at home Sept. 18. The Farmers faced Chatfield — No. 6 in the 5A rankings — and the Farmers responded with a big 12-5 victory.

“We are hungry for every single game,” Ruiz said. “Every single game is important. We can’t underestimate anybody.”

The Farmers hammered Evergreen 19-1 on Sept. 20 to finish off the 3-game stretch.

“Pressure helps us,” Ruiz said. “If

our own game.”

Jeffco golfers wrap up league play at West Woods Golf Club

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — The final Jeffco League boys golf tournament of the season had a very different feel than normal Sept. 14 at West Woods Golf Club in Arvada.

There was no final gathering of Class 5A and 4A Jeffco teams to hand out individual all-conference awards and league team titles due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, golfers were able to successfully finish off the final Jeffco League tournament of the season.

“I’m very pleased with how it turned out,” Ralston Valley boys golf coach Jeff Wasinger said. “There is a little letdown at the end of the tournament, even today. You finish your round, turn in your scorecard electrically and then go home. But we were allowed to play and actually had a season.”

Ralston Valley wrapped up the 5A Jeffco League team title with the strong team of seniors Jack Larson, Trey Kirschner, junior Gage Messingham, along with sophomores Jordan McCaslin and Logan Forister. Messingham clinched the overall individual medalist title with a 4-under-par, 68.

Messingham edged Lakewood senior Ryan Liao by two strokes over the five

league tournaments.

“It means a lot,” Messingham said of the Mustangs winning the league title. “Last year we couldn’t do it, but this year our team played really well throughout the season and pulled it off.”

The Mustangs were able to hold off Lakewood thanks to Messingham and Kirschner both finishing in a threeway tie for second with round of 68.

Liao also shot a 68. Larson fired an even-par, 72 to finished tied for sixth.

“It’s a feel good thing. We set that out as a goal,” Wasinger said of Ralston Valley winning the league team title. “We knew we had a good team and it was kind of building over the years.”

The 5A Jeffco League proved to be one of the strongest conferences in the state. In fact, a round in the 60s was shot during each of the five league tournaments. Arvada West senior Tyler Tyson, Columbine senior Drex Duffy, Lakewood junior Max Lange, Liao Messingham, Larson and Kirschner were the seven individuals who all had at least one round in the 60s this season during league play.

“They are opening peoples’ eyes,” Wasinger said of the play of the top 5A Jeffco players this Fall. “Jeffco golf really has some powerful teams and

PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS impressive players. Going into regionals there is no reason to fear anybody.”

Ralston Valley hosted the 5A Western Regional on Monday, Sept.

21, at Raccoon Creek Golf Course in Littleton.

“Of course we have to focus on regionals and qualifying as a team,” Messingham said. “Hopefully we win

state. It is at a course we all know.

Hopefully we can pull it off.”

The 5A state tournament will be Oct. 5 and 6 at The Club in Rolling Hills in Golden.

Football, field hockey, spirit gain approval for fall Governor, CHSAA give schools the option of competing

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado High School Activities Association on Sept. 16 signed off on allowing high school football and field hockey games to happen in the fall despite the coronavirus.

Schools have the option of resuming the sports in the coming weeks if they are ready, or waiting until the spring.

CHSAA’s board met to decide whether to move forward with the seasons after the Polis administration earlier in the day approved variances to allow the sports to resume. By a 12-3 vote, the board decided to allow schools to resume the sports under the variances.

“We are in a pandemic,” Troy Baker, president of CHSAA’s board of directors and the athletic director at Buena Vista High School, said in a written statement. “It’s not normal times.

We’re all trying to find a way to navigate through it, with the hope of trying to find some normalcy in our lives.

There isn’t a guide of how to do this.”

Sideline spirit — also known as cheer — will also be allowed to resume in the fall.

Under variances approved by state, all participants who are not actively playing or performing must wear masks and be 6 feet apart. Players and performers may not go into spectator areas and are required to observe

mask-wearing and social-distancing rules while traveling to games.

The variances approved by Polis’ team allow for 50 players per sideline to be on the field during a football game. In field hockey, the variance allows for 25 players per sideline, per game.

“We have worked closely with CHSAA to approve their request, issue guidelines and assist in creating a process that supports a return to football, field hockey and cheer,” Polis said in a written statement.

The governor and CHSAA have been facing pressure across the state to allow more high school sports to resume.

Many districts have or are about to resume in-person classes.

Earlier this month, Polis said he thought there was an opening for high school football to resume in the fall.

CHSAA initially balked at the idea.

Some high school sports have already resumed, like golf and cross country.

CHSAA has requested variances for gymnastics, boys soccer, spirit, girls volleyball and unified bowling, which are traditionally played during the fall season. The Polis administration is still considering how to move forward on those sports.

If coronavirus transmission in a county starts to rise too quickly, schools there would no longer be allowed to offer football, field hockey and cheer.

Outline of work done and funds expended during the diligence period (March 1, 2013 through August 31, 2020) toward completion of the appropriation. During the relevant diligence period, expenditures on the following projects and activities were made that benefited the water rights decreed in Case No. 94CW150, further developed the EMD’s integrated water supply system and provided protection of EMD’s Bear Creek and Troublesome Creek water rights. EMD is also the owner of other water rights, which together with the Subject Water Rights form EMD’s integrated municipal water supply system. Pursuant to § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S., work on one feature of an integrated system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the integrated system. Thus, work on any part of EMD’s integrated system must be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown for the conditional Subject Water Rights. (a) EMD made improvements to its Water Treatment Plant during the relevant diligence period at an approximate cost of $2,845,700. (b) During the relevant diligence period, EMD made improvements to its water collection, transmission and distribution systems, including installation of new tanks, pumps and piping, replacement of aging water lines, installation of measuring structures and technology, installation of hydrants and additional water meters, and various other system improvements at an approximate cost of $1,544,800. (c) EMD expended approximately $679,425 during the relevant diligence period for acquisition of additional water rights for the purpose of improving drought resiliency and reliability of its raw water supply. (d) During the relevant diligence period, EMD expended approximately $415,300 for engineering consultants and legal counsel related to planning, analysis, water accounting, water rights acquisition, and participation in water court matters as necessary for adjudication and protection of EMD’s water rights. (e) EMD expended approximately $2,012,800 during the relevant diligence period for a multi-phase process to assess, evaluate, design, and complete remediation of the outlet works at Evergreen Reservoir and for improvement of the operations of Evergreen Reservoir. (f) EMD submitted a letter of intent to the Colorado Water Conservation Board for acquiring a right to use of storage capacity in the Bear Creek Reservoir reallocation project and has maintained its efforts to participate in the reallocation project being studied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Colorado Water Conservation Board. (g) EMD has negotiated multiple water supply contracts providing both raw water and treated water service to extraterritorial customers. 7. Claims to make portions of the subject water rights absolute. (a) Dates and Amounts. EMD diverted and placed to beneficial use a portion of the Subject Water Rights at varying flow rates and amounts during the diligence period. On November 12-16, 2019, EMD operated the Soda Lakes – Bear Creek Exchange by diverting 2.5 cfs into storage at Evergreen Reservoir in exchange for an equal amount of water released from EMD’s Soda Lakes account. The water stored by exchange is or was available for beneficial use through EMD’s municipal water supply system. 8. Name(s) and Address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. To the best of EMD’s knowledge, information and belief, the owners of land upon which new storage structures could be constructed or modifications to existing storage structures could occur as a result of the water rights that are the subject of this application, or upon which the named points of substitution and exchange are located, are as follows: (a) Land affected by the proposed enlargement of Hiwan Reservoir No. 8, and of Hiwan Reservoir Nos. 9 and 10, as well as land upon which Hiwan Reservoir Nos. 1 and 4-8 are located, is owned by the Hiwan Golf Club, 30671 Clubhouse Lane, Evergreen, Colorado 80439.

Dakota Ridge senior Jacob White dominates at Durden Invitational

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — There were a couple of significant changes during the annual cross country Wildcat Invitational hosted by Arvada West High School.

First, races began at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 18 with the idea to beat the afternoon heat. With Jeffco Public Schools’ high school all on remote learning on Fridays it was more feasible to have a morning start.

The second change was a name change. The Wildcat Invitational was renamed the Durden Invitational this year. A-West decided to honor Benji and Amie Durden, both have been very impactful on the running community in Colorado. Benji Durden was 2nd at the U.S. Olympic Trials back in 1980. If not for the U.S. boycotting the Olympic games in Moscow that year, Durden would have run for U.S. at the Olympics.

One thing that was the same was Dakota Ridge’s Jacob White crossing the finish-line first. The senior won the boys race in a time of 15 minutes, 55 seconds.

Ralston Valley senior James Ramey placed 2nd, more than 50 seconds behind White.

However, White was less

than thrilled with his time on the course run at Stenger Soccer Complex in Arvada.

“I wasn’t happy with it,” White said of his sub-16 minute time. “I have been kind of off for the last couple of months. I feel myself getting back on track. Hopefully next week I’ll get that low 15-minute time.”

White has his sights on a fourth straight appearance at the state meet coming up Oct. 17 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. White has finished in the Class 5A Top-6 individually the past two years, along with helping the Eagles to back-to-back 5A team titles.

The senior and one of the top distance runners in the state does give a lot of credit to former teammates like Austin Vancil (University of Colorado) and Connor Ohlson (Air Force Academy).

“It has been very helpful,” White said of his experiences of back-to-back team 5A team state title at Dakota Ridge.

“I’m so grateful. I would never be where I’m at today with those guys (Austin Vancil and Connor Ohlson). Without them none of this would have happened.”

Ralston Valley did edge Dakota Ridge for the team title

league tournament with a 5-underpar, 67 at West Woods. The Lakewood junior will enter the 5A Central Regionals at Overland Golf Course on Wednesday, Sept. 23, coming off back-to-back tournament wins with rounds of 68 and 67 to close out league play.

“I didn’t have the greatest league season,” admitted Lange, who shot a 75 and 77 in his first two league tournaments. “I wish I would have shot 10-under today, but I’m not too disappointed with 5-under.”

Lange is excited about the location of the 5A state tournament in three

at the Durden Invitational.

Ralston Valley seniors James Ramey, Jack Donze, Ethan Grolnic and Aiden Logan all finished Top-10.

On the girls side, Standley Lake senior Sophia Abernethy claimed another individual crown this season with a time of 20:17.8.

D’Evelyn girls won the team title with sophomore Jayden Miller, seniors Sonja Morin and Kati Livingood finishing Top-10.

Coming up quickly is the 5A and 4A Jeffco League Cross Country Championships. The 4A Jeffco League championships is scheduled for Oct. 1 at Stoney Creek Golf Course. The 5A Jeffco League championships will run the following day on Oct. 2 at Stoney Creek.

It has been a different season with different protocols and restrictions.

“It has been difficult,” White said of the cross country season during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Honestly, there is no excuses for me. I just have to go out there and work on the process.”

weeks.

“I’m going to try to finish (regionals and state) how I finished my league season,” Lange said. “State will be at my home course at Rolling Hills. I play there every day.”

Liao — 5A Jeffco individual medalist as a freshman and sophomore — finished just behind Messingham for the title this season. The Lakewood senior has had back-to-back Top-4 finishes at the state tournament that past two years.

With Liao’s history, he is very capable of contending with a number of other strong Jeffco players at state coming up the first week of October.

“I was actually honestly expecting this low of golf scores last year,” Liao said of Jeffco. “Everyone had the talent last year. No one was really play-

ing that well. Now this year everyone is playing to what they are supposed to and it’s looking good.”

Liao is one of the longest hitting players in the state and he has some wishes for the setup at Rolling Hills in a few weeks.

“I hope they play it longer to make it a little tougher,” Liao said. “I know the greens will be tough. Overall it’s a great course.”

On the 4A Jeffco side, Evergreen captured the team title. Senior Jack Mitchell led the Cougars winning the final 4A Jeffco League tournament with a 2-over-par, 74.

Green Mountain senior Oliver Gibbons just edged Conifer senior Dakota Dolph for the overall individual medalist title by a single stroke over the five tournaments. Gibbons shot

a 76 and Dolph had a 77 on Monday at West Woods. Gibbons and Dolph entered the final conference tournament with identical 9-hole averages of 37.83 strokes.

No matter what happens at regionals and state. Jeffco can say it completed a success conference season that might have looked a bit different.

“We’ve got to be grateful that CHSAA gave this opportunity to us and we’ve had to adhere to the safety protocols that have been set. We didn’t want to mess it up,” Wasinger said. “CHSAA gave us a gift and we took it as a privilege.”
