2020 Hindsight

A final look back at a most unprecedented year in Golden

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Well, what can we say? 2020 will surely be a year no Golden resident who lived through it will soon forget — no matter how much we might want to. So, before we (finally) say good riddance, lets take one last look back at the events that defined one of the most wild, and difficult, years in our fair city’s recent history (we promise there is even some good stuff).

Now hand over a party horn and bring on 2021, a year which we hope will be memorable for some altogether different — and more positive — reasons. Because SEE YEAR END, P5

The city of Golden has released a draft of an intergovernmental agreement between it and Colorado School of Mines that outlines processes and regulations both parties would voluntarily adhere to when it comes to planning future Mines development and expansion into Golden.

The city is now seeking public comment on the contents of that agreement, which would need to be approved by both the Golden city council and Mines to take effect.

During a virtual public meeting held on Dec. 17, Golden City Manager Jason Slowinski introduced the IGA as the product of long simmering discussions about how the city can best assert its interests when it comes to new development in the city by Mines.

The ability of Golden to regulate and control land use matters involving Mines has long been contested, with Mines asserting that it has a legal right as a state college to engage in activities to provide education that trumps Golden’s right to regulate and control land use within the city.

Slowinski said that while the city is confident in its legal position that its right to regulation overrides those of Mines, City Attorney Dave Williamson has concluded that a legal battle would be extraordinarily expensive and a court would most likely order the two parties to work out land use disagreements among themselves, rather than ruling in one party’s favor.

As a result, Golden and Mines have been operating under what Slowinski described as informal understanding in which SEE MINES, P9

Jeffco COVID-19 numbers improving, but not yet enough to move county out of Level Red

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Although new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Jeffco were continuing to decrease heading into Christmas, the county’s numbers were not yet where they need to be to move out of Level Red, the second most restrictive level on the state COVID-19 dial.

According to the most recent guidance issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, a county qualifies to be moved into Level Orange when it is seeing 175-350 new cases per 100,000 people, its test positivity rate is at 15% or less and its hospitalization rate is either stable or declining over a two-week period.

A county’s hospitalization rate is defined as stable if it has seen no greater than a 25% increase in the county’s referral hospitals or no more than two new hospital admissions with COVID-19 in the most recent two-week period.

Christine Billings, the COVID-19 Incident Commander with JCPH, said during a telephone town hall on Dec. 17 that some, but not all, of the county’s numbers were currently consistent with the indicators for Level Orange. However, the county cannot begin the process of consulting with CPDHE about a move to Level Orange until all of the metrics have been met for at least two weeks, she said.

“We’re watching our numbers closely, as well as the trends and potential spikes around the holidays, and we’ll continue to update our community as the situation progresses,” said Billings.

Still too many new cases for move

As of Dec. 17, the county test positivity rate was 9.7%, which would qualify Jef-

fco for Level Orange. However, the county had seen 585.7 new cases per 100,000 residents over the prior two weeks, which is still well above the 350 or fewer cases per two-week number needed to qualify for the improved color ranking.

Still, the trend is an encouraging one as that two-week number was down significantly from the 822.8 cases per 100,000 people the county had seen over the two weeks ending on Dec. 16 and nearly half the 1061.2 cases per 100,000 people the county saw for the two weeks ending on Nov. 25, when new cases peaked in Jeffco.

Hospitalizations were also decreasing, with Jeffco hospitals reporting that about 72% of their staff ICU beds were full, as of Dec. 17. That was down from a week earlier, when Jeffco hospitals reported their ICUS were at 90% capacity, but slightly

higher than the 70% number across the entire metro area reporting on Dec. 10.

A move to Level Orange would allow restaurants to reopen indoor dining at 25% while gyms and officers would also be able to increase their capacity.

In-person learning is also suggested by the state for counties in Level Orange.

Officials excited about vaccine

During the town hall, JCPH medical director Mark B. Johnson said JCPH officials are “so excited about the arrival of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in Jefferson County and very hopeful about what it means both for our response and the recovery from this pandemic.”

However, Johnson said it will likely take several months for the vaccines to be made available to the

general public and that it is important that the public continue with social distancing, mask wearing and frequent handwashing until that happens, even once the vaccine is obtained.

“It’s important to continue with these steps because there are some things we do not yet know about the vaccination and one of those is that even though it may protect you if you do get the virus you may still be able to spread it to others,” Johnson said. “That’s something that’s

still being studied.”

Johnson said the public should also know that the FDA has gone through a rigorous approval process to study both vaccines, including trials on both animals and people, and no serious safety concerns have been reported.

“You’ve probably heard that there are some side effects such as mild fever, chills, body aches, pain and redness of the injection site, perhaps some nausea and fatigue,” said Johnson. “Most of those last only one or two days and that is actually a good sign — it shows your body is reacting to the vaccine and actually creating antibodies.”

On Dec. 18, the state debuted a new Five Star program that counties can implement to allow restaurants and other businesses that implement stricter safety measures than currently required by public health guidelines to accelerate their reopening.

A similar program has already been operating in Mesa County.

However, county manager Don Davis said the most recent report card the county received from CDPHE showed the county is not currently qualified to implement the program based on the criteria laid out by the state.

“We’ve also received the requirements and guidance for how we can implement it once we are qualified,” said Davis. “In the meantime, we are going to be working with our Jeffco business partners and municipalities to examine this program and its feasibility.”

According to the CDPHE website, a county in Level Red is eligible to implement the program “only if a county has had a two-week sustained decline in incidence, hospitalizations, and a percent positivity under 10% or improving over the last 2 weeks.”

National Association of Realtors Promotes “Pathways to Professionalism”

As you are probably aware, members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) are sworn to abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics. It’s what separates them from the men and women who are licensed to practice real estate but choose not to pay roughly $500 in annual dues to be a member of the local, state and national Realtor association.

Golden Real Estate requires all its broker associates to join the local Realtor association, which automatically enrolls them in the Colorado Association of Realtors and NAR. Most of us are members of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, although agents have the choice of which local Realtor association to join.

In additional to the Code of Ethics, is the voluntary and lesser known “Pathways to Professionalism.” It is a collection of recommended courtesies which all Realtors should embrace, as we certainly do at Golden Real Estate. Here are those courtesies, broken down into three categories. It should be noted that failure to practice these courtesies cannot form

the basis of a complaint by fellow Realtors or members of the public. Here they are, highlighting ones I particularly like: Respect for the Public 1) Follow the "Golden Rule”: Do unto other as you would have them do unto you.

2) Respond promptly to inquiries and requests for information.

3) Schedule appointments and showings as far in advance as possible.

4) Call if you are delayed or must cancel an appointment or showing.

5) If a prospective buyer decides not to view an occupied home, promptly explain the situation to the listing broker or the occupant.

6) Communicate with all parties in a timely fashion.

7) When entering a property ensure that unexpected situations, such as pets, are handled appropriately.

8) Leave your business card if not prohibited by local rules.

9) Never criticize property in the pres-

Fewer Sellers Are Attempting For Sale by Owner There will always be people who are comfortable with selling their home without the assistance of a real estate professional. In 2019, 8% of sellers chose the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) approach, down from 2018’s record low of 7%.

Here are some of the things with which you need to be comfortable if you choose the FSBO approach for selling your home.

Commissions: Yes, you will save on commissions, but not as much as you probably think. The average listing commission is lower than the 6% you may have been told, and that listing commission includes the “co-op” commission paid to the buyer’s agent. In our market, that co-op commission is typically 2.8%.

Since most buyers choose to have an agent who will expect that 2.8%, you can expect that you won’t be able to save more than 3% on commission expense.

You need to calculate whether selling without professional representation of your own is worth that reduced savings.

Net proceeds: It’s possible that you won’t get as high a price for your home without the marketing advantage of being listed on the MLS, which could attract multiple offers and even a bidding war.

Having made that bottom-line calculation, here are some other matters to be considered by the unrepresented seller.

Showings: How will you handle showings, including screening those who will be walking through your home? This is handled by ShowingTime, the service utilized by virtually all agents in the Denver market. They make sure that only licensed agents are approved for showings. All licensed agents have been fingerprinted and passed a background check. In two decades of listing homes, I’ve never had an incident of theft or other crime associated with an agent showing of my listings.

Your time: Another consideration is the convenience of showings. Yes, you could purchase a lockbox and allow agent showings you trust to show your home, but you’ll need to be home to accommodate buyers who don’t have an agent.

Feedback: Another service provided

by ShowingTime is obtaining feedback after each showing, which is then forwarded to both seller and agent.

Other considerations: I elaborate on other topics, including disclosures, legal requirements, the negotiation of multiple offers, etc., at www.GoldenREblog.com.

ence of the occupant.

10) Inform occupants that you are leaving after showings.

11) When showing an occupied home, always ring the doorbell or knock— and announce yourself loudly before entering. Knock and announce yourself loudly before entering any closed room.

12) Present a professional appearance at all times; dress appropriately and drive a clean car.

13) If occupants are home during showings, ask their permission before using the telephone or bathroom.

14) Encourage the clients of other brokers to direct questions to their agent or representative.

15) Communicate clearly; don’t use jargon or slang that may not be readily understood.

16) Be aware of and respect cultural differences.

17) Show courtesy and respect to everyone.

18) Be aware of—and meet—all deadlines.

19) Promise only what you can deliver—and keep your promises.

20) Identify your REALTOR® and your professional status in contacts with the public.

21) Do not tell people what you think— tell them what you know.

Respect for Property 1) Be responsible for everyone you allow to enter listed property.

2) Never allow buyers to enter listed property unaccompanied.

3) When showing property, keep all members of the group together.

4) Never allow unaccompanied access to property without permission.

5) Enter property only with permission even if you have a lockbox key or combination.

6) When the occupant is absent, leave the property as you found it (lights, heating, cooling, drapes, etc.) If you think something is amiss (e.g. van-

dalism), contact the listing broker immediately.

7) Be considerate of the seller's property. Do not allow anyone to eat, drink, smoke, dispose of trash, use bathing or sleeping facilities, or bring pets. Leave the house as you found it unless instructed otherwise.

8) Use sidewalks; if weather is bad, take off shoes and boots inside property.

9) Respect sellers’ instructions about photographing or videographing their properties’ interiors or exteriors.

Respect for Peers 1) Identify your REALTOR® and professional status in all contacts with other REALTORS®.

2) Respond to other agents' calls, faxes, and e-mails promptly and courteously.

3) Be aware that large electronic files with attachments or lengthy faxes may be a burden on recipients.

4) Notify the listing broker if there appears to be inaccurate information on the listing.

5) Share important information about a property, including the presence of pets, security systems, and whether sellers will be present during the showing.

6) Show courtesy, trust, and respect to other real estate professionals.

7) Avoid the inappropriate use of endearments or other denigrating language.

8) Do not prospect at other REALTORS®' open houses or similar events.

9) Return keys promptly.

10) Carefully replace keys in the lockbox after showings.

11) To be successful in the business, mutual respect is essential.

12) Real estate is a reputation business.

What you do today may affect your reputation—and business—for years to come.

Golden police to implement body cameras next year

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Golden police officers are on track to be outfitted with body cameras by this summer after the Golden City Council gave its approval for the department to move forward with purchasing a body camera system from an Arizona-based company.

Under the approved agreement, the Golden Police Department will pay Axon Enterprise, Inc. a total of $934,269 over 10 years to provide the department with cameras as well as a system that is used to store footage and data.

The department had previously explored purchasing body cameras for officers in 2016 after receiving a partial grant to do so but chose not to move forward with the purchase at that time because of the camera’s high cost.

But in July, the Colorado legislature passed a law requiring all law enforcement agencies in the state to issue body cameras to their officers by 2023.

At that point, the department decided it would move forward with purchasing and implementing the cameras rather than waiting until 2023 to do so because doing so sooner would allow the department to increase trust and transparency with the public, Deputy Chief Joe Harvey said.

“The city of Golden has a forefront of being at the forefront of moving forward with a bunch of different things and I think this should be one

of those,” said Harvey in comments he made to the council on Dec. 11.

During that 2016 process, the department created a policy for bodyworn cameras that was reviewed by the ACLU and other outside groups.

Harvey said that department will now be updated to ensure it is in compliance with the new state law before it is implemented.

Under the new state law, officers will be required to activate the camera “when responding to a call for service or during any interaction with the public initiated by the peace officer when enforcing the law or investigating possible violations of the law.”

That should not be burdensome for officers because the cameras can be turned on by “a tap on the chest,” Harvey said. The cameras will also automatically turn on when an officer draws a firearm or Taser from their holster.

The majority of the department’s officers are supportive of implementing the cameras and have been since 2016, Harvey said.

“They know it protects all sides,” he said.

Harvey also said the required use of body cameras would likely create more work for the department as more staff time will be required to download and process the footage.

Officers will also be required to view video footage before going to trial and have the option to review footage while writing their reports.

However, officers will not be able to view their footage in certain situ-

A memo from Deputy Chief Joe Harvey to the Golden City Council outlines several reasons why the department chose Axon Enterprise, Inc. as its camera vendor. Here are some: Axom offers equipment that will automatically activate the camera when a weapon or taser is drawn by an officer Axon provides full data collection and storage using Evidence.com which offers enhanced redaction features, critical for the release of videos containing sensitive material Evidence.com is the preferred vendor by the First Judicial District Attorney for the transfer of camera footage Axon offers unlimited data storage of camera footage at a reasonable cost ations, including situations where they used force that led to serious bodily injury or death.

“That will increase some time there but I think the value outweighs the tine that will spent,” he said. “At the end of the day we want to get things right.”

The council voted unanimously in favor of approving the contract with several councilmembers expressing strong support for implementing the cameras.

“I totally support this,” said coun-

Axon automatically upgrades all cameras every 2.5 years providing the newest technology The camera provides video playback on mobile devices in the field via Bluetooth The camera is equipped with retina low light capability, reduced motion blur and better low-light performance The camera has multiple mic audio with four built-in-microphones The cameras has up to 120 second buffering period to record footage before pressing the record button.

The batteries on each unit will last 12 hours The department has contracted with Axon for conducted energy weapons (tasers) and has found the company to be proactive, financially consistent and competitive

cilman Paul Haseman. “Of course, it has nothing to do with me because it is going to be a law, but I am very much in favor of it.”

Mayor Laura Weinberg, meanwhile, said she appreciated the department’s willingness to quickly move forward with picking up where it left off with body cams in 2016 once the state law was passed.

“I am really appreciative that you were able to bring this to us yet this year to get moving on in a quick few months,” she said.

Avenue Gifts closes

if there is one thing 2020 has taken from us, it’s our hope for better times ahead.

Downtown Golden lost once of its mainstays in August when Avenue Gifts became the latest casualty of the COVID-19. Owner Donna Owen said the reduction of tourism and other challenges made it the right time to retire. The closure marked the end of Owen’s long retail career in Golden, which began when she started working for the Foss family in 1959.

Fairgrounds saved from budget-cut closure

When Jeffco county manager Don Davis announced on Jan. 21 that the county was considering closing the county fairgrounds in Golden as a result of budget cuts, the outcry from kids and parents who have been involved in activities at the fairgrounds was swift. However, that community got some good news on Feb. 25 when the commissioners reached an agreement to direct county staff to pursue options for the fairgrounds that would preserve the space for agricultural and equine activities for kids while eliminating buildings and costs that do not directly support that purpose.

Jeffco sees first case of COVID-19

It was impossible to know just how much COVID-19 would come to define Golden’s year on March 10, when county health officials announced that a man in his 50s had become the first in the county to test positive for the virus. Since then, Jeffco has seen over 27,000 more cases of the virus (as of Dec. 18), including more than 1,000 people with Golden addresses. Nearly 600 people have died from the virus in Jeffco.

A year that was defined as much by what didn’t happen (even Buffalo Bill Days was canceled for the first time in its history) ended with one of the most unusual holiday seasons in its history. Mainstays like the Candlelight Walk and Olde Golden Christmas Parades were canceled but residents still rallied to support causes, which collected hundreds of toys for Golden kids.

Jeffco Schools pivot — expand Grab and Go food program

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid criticism of its Grab and Go meals program, and in a move to be more nimble in providing food aid to students during the return to athome learning, Jeffco schools rolled out a bus delivery pilot program Dec. 21.

This new addition to the distribution model provides another way for families and students to pick up Grab and Go breakfast and lunch packages.

Details about the pilot delivery program and all other Jeffco Schools Grab and Go information can be found by visiting www.jeffcopublicschools.org livery program launched with three routes, with each bus making three to six stops per route. Each student received 14 meals (seven breakfasts, seven lunches). The first route covered the Arvada area, making six stops and serving 68 students. A second route delivered in the Bear Creek area, making three stops and serving 32 students, and the third route covered the Eiber Elementary area, making five stops, serving 65 students.

Wallace said partnering with the district’s transportation department and Title I group, allowed her department to pin point the best areas for the routes.

As of now, the District will continue bus meal service on scheduled days of service while in the remote learning model, which is schedule to end on January 19, 2021 for elementary students. The last day of bus distributed food (at this point) is January 14, 2021.

The move by Jeffco is the latest in a string of changes made to try to align the Grab and Go program more closely with the needs of district families. Other recent changes to the program include increasing the number of pick-up sites to 19, from 15, as well as pushing back and lengthening pick-up hours to avoid

interfering with online learning times.

Push for improvements

Recently, Jeffco’s program has been under fire from leaders in the faith, nonprofit, service and education communities. A virtual forum was held Dec. 9, 2020, hosted by the group, Coloradans for the Common Good (formerly Colorado IAF). Pastor Reagan Humber, House for All Sinners and Saints, led the meeting. Taking the District to task for what he considered inadequate access to the program for families in need, Humber called on Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh to meet with representatives from the group to discuss changes. In a separate interview, he said the CCG coalition’s main concern was what

they perceived to be deficiencies in Jeffco’s program in comparison to similar programs.

“Denver and Cherry Creek are open every day for kids to be able to get hot lunch,” Humber said.

While he agrees the recent expansion of hours and locations is a step in the right direction, his group is still concerned about distances between pickup points creating long walks for kids who have no other transportation options to pick up meals. He also sees issues with meals the district provides that require reheating, pointing out the need for ready to eat options for families who are homeless or living in cars.

VOICES

Reality-based greetings as another year begins QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

S

ir Walter Scott said a new year is “The fittest time for festal cheer.”

I wish I had it in me.

Flipping a calendar page isn’t enough. There’s too much weight and I’m too realistic to believe in the illusion of a fresh start.

My wet blanket is, however, only half full.

T.S. Eliot, more tempered than Scott, said, “Last year’s words belong to last year’s voice, and next year’s words await another voice.”

Trouble is, “last year’s voice” will yet be heard, loud and vulgar and dispiriting, and the impact will linger, perhaps for years to come.

This column was debated. Ultimately, I decided against more hope-filled thoughts.

There will be plenty of those coming at us from other sources.

Like it or not, Americans want “to have their cake and eat it too.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why the resistance?

To the Trump haters who decry the ongoing investigations into voter fraud, what are you afraid of ?

There has been enough evidence of fraud to generate more than 50 lawsuits across multiple states, though the liberal media isn’t telling you much about it.

I would think that everyone on both sides of the aisle would like to be sure that our elections are conducted freely and fairly.

Perhaps those who want the investigations halted are simply afraid of what might be found.

Jim Zimmerman, Arvada

Over all of that, smothering everything else, there has been a pandemic, deadly and destructive, poisoning our mental health as well as our physical health.

There have been heartwarming and heartbreaking stories.

And inexplicable behavior.

This is not the space or the publication to attempt to explain human conduct during a crisis.

G.K. Chesterton wrote, “The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.”

It makes enjoyable reading, doesn’t it?

Like a lot of year-ending, year-beginning philosophical aphorisms.

Searching for inspirational quotes, I found hundreds. I refer them to you if you SEE SMITH, P9

Let us resolve to leave the worst bits of 2020 behind

Critique of letter policy

Just across the page from the letter you published by Tom Sabel on December 17, I read this rule for letters to the editor: Keep it polite: No name-calling or mud-slinging.

How on earth did Tom’s vicious letter get published, I wonder? Here are some of the pejorative, inflammatory words and phrases he used about Trump: pathetic, supine, cowardly, without an ounce of empathy, insane, nonsense, con, fleecing, frivolous.

Please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Trump and to those who oppose him. Going forward, please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Biden and to those who oppose him. Please allow principles to determine the expression of personal opinions.

Thank you for your efforts to keep this newspaper relevant and responsible.

Mary Susan Meyer, Arvada

Growing up, I never understood what that meant. I do now.

We want to have all of our freedoms and liberties, and not be encumbered by common sense and responsibilities.

Like what?

Masks, social distancing, limited occupancy in restaurants and serving hours.

A New York City bar owner ran over a cop after police tried (again) to close his business down.

Men (as it were) in Michigan wanted to kidnap the governor.

Men in Michigan planned to kidnap the governor.

My Michigan-born shoulders slump every time I read something or hear something that comes out of Lansing and Detroit.

It’s going to be a while — never? — before I forgive 74 million for voting for a liar.

And we have yet to reconcile the reasons for the protests all across the country.

O

kay, so, I suppose, if I have a 2020 Christmas List last week, I should have a few New Years’ resolutions this week.

HITTING I know, I know — I’ve said HOME before that I don’t believe in New Years’ Resolutions. But, if there’s anything 2020 has taught us, it may be that we just can’t count on things being the way we think they should Michael Alcorn be. So, maybe a departure from my norm is worth considering.

First of all, I resolve not be afraid. Fear is the little death… I will wear my mask and socially distance when I go out in public — but I will go out in public. I will teach the students who come to school and bring their instruments come Jan. 19. I will get the vaccine when it is made available to me. And then I will take off my mask and smile at the world and breathe the free air.

I think high on my list of resolutions this will be to not want, hope for or spend money on *things*. I haven’t missed things this year — I’ve missed people and experiences. So, 2021 will be a year for going out to dinner a little more, for taking the family to the movies, for having back yard barbecues every weekend and block parties

all summer.

Something that 2020 taught me, and which I think would be wise for everybody to note, was that the first story is not always right.

How many times this year did we see a news story that seemed like earth-shattering, huge news? And then how many times, come day two or day three, did we learn that the story wasn’t exactly what we thought it was? Or was even remotely close to what we were told it was on day one? So, this year, I’m going to wait until day two or three before I really believe what I’m told.

Related to that, I will reserve all outrage about anything I see on social media until I have seen it confirmed and explained by a source that generally disagrees with my world view.

In other words, let 2021 be the year we kick the trolls to the curb.

Another resolution I want to work on is one that one of my bosses has stressed this year: understand what you have control over, what you have influence over, and what is beyond your reach. Because, if you’re spending too much time and energy on that which is beyond your reach (politics, etc…) then you are allowing something else to have control over you. Marshal your energies smarter.

I’d love to break 90 this summer.

That’s, obviously, trivial in the big picture, but… Sure would be an indicator of a summer well spent!

I’ve done it a few times in my life,

but it’s been a while, and I’d like to get back to having good, restful summers.

2020 has put extra strains on many systems and relationships this year. And, while it is true that adversity reveals character, rather than building it, I think it would be wise for all of us to take what happened in 2020 with an extra dose of understanding.

Those people who snapped at you at the grocery store? They may have just found out that their business was being forced to close. That family that couldn’t quite get their act together about online schooling? Well, they may have been fighting to keep a suicidal sibling alive all year.

That friend who you thought you could count on but came up short this year? Maybe they ended up on the front lines of this struggle and had nothing left to give. So, maybe the strains of 2020 were an admission of an already weak system; or maybe those systems and relationships became collateral damage of COVID. Let 2021 be a year of fresh starts and new beginnings. No reason to bring the angst of 2020 forward with us. Happy New Year!

Another site now giving public free COVID-19 tests in Golden STAFF REPORT

There is a new option for free COVID-19 tests in Golden.

MINES FROM PAGE 1

Mines goes through the motions of the city’s review process when a new project comes up “but at the same time maintains that they are not subject to our regulations.”

“It really has presented strange conflicts between the city and the university,” Slowinski said. “And it’s never been satisfactory, not for the city, not for the university and certainly not for folks who live near campus and have seen the changes on campus over the years.”

Slowinski said the proposed IGA attempts to address that by providing residents with more certainty and predictability when it comes to addressing concerns related to campus expansion and the issues it can create.

New review and comment process

for daily pickup between 11 am and 1:30 pm, and two schools with pickup only on Wednesdays. In addition, DPS delivers food to 16 sites, mostly at apartment complexes Monday through Friday.

Wallace, however, thinks a direct comparison to the DPS program doesn’t take into account that Denver Public Schools has roughly double the amount of free/reduced lunch eligible students that Jeffco has.

Demand has been tricky to predict, she said, noting that in pick-up sites at some Title 1 schools, there has been considerably less partici-

and educators who are employed by the state’s school districts. However, access has been expanded through a new partnership with the state.

How it works

The Golden test site is located at 1922 Jones Road on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Tests can be scheduled at all of the Gary Community Investments testing

lines for the city of Golden to review and comment on any proposed construction of new Mines buildings or work on existing ones that would impact their exterior.

That process will begin with a community informational meeting organized by Mines where the community can provide input. Mines is then obligated to hold a second public meeting to explain what project changes have been made and/or rejected. The Golden City Council then has the option of providing a written set of comments, which Mines is then required to respond to after giving them “good faith consideration.”

Golden Community and Economic Development Director Steve Glueck said one potential shortcoming of the agreement is that it does not give the city the power to actually veto projects. That’s because Mines would not agree to giving the city that authority.

“We would most likely need to rely on leverage and political pressure if they are not agreeing to some of the turning them inside out.”

I am old, tired, anxious and restless. You? Chesterton said, “The old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man might stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.”

What it comes down to, at least for me, is something Warren Zevon said, “Enjoy every sandwich.”

pation than expected.

“On the other hand,” she said, “at Columbine, it’s going gangbusters.”

Wallace said the District has been flexible in trying to determine the amount of need and is willing to change and adapt as they see what’s working and what isn’t. She said no system is perfect, but the criticism the District has faced isn’t rooted in data.

“We’ve been serving school lunches for a long time and we’re learning every single day,” she said.

“We’re always open to any pointed, specific need that someone brings to our attention.”

As for the meeting between Schuh and the CCG folks, Humber said the Interim Superintendent has tentatively agreed, but no date has been set.

sites, including the one in Golden, at covidcheckcolorado.org. Testing is free to anyone with no insurance or ID needed.

Testing is administered by trained medical professionals using an FDAapproved PCR nasal swab. The swab is inserted about 1.5 inches into each nostril for about 10 seconds. Individuals receive results in 36-72 hours via email and/or text, depending on the

information they provide during registration. Those who test positive will also receive a phone call from a doctor or a nurse to provide guidance and support on next steps and best practices for keeping others around them healthy.

The Golden site is open from 7-9 a.m. and 3-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7-9 a.m. and noon to 5 p.m. on Friday.

things that are most important to the community,” he said.

Councilmembers Casey Brown and Bill Fisher, however, argued that even without veto power, the agreement does represents a step forward from the city over the status quo.

The proposed agreement also outlines limits for building heights in certain sections of the city. It would limit buildings facing Washington Street to 35 feet or less, buildings facing Jackson Street to 50 feet or less and those east of the alley separating Jackson and Ford streets to 35 feet or less. The agreement would last for five years, with the city hoping to extend it beyond that, but could be severed by either side with 90-days notice.

Public feedback at the meeting was mixed with some hailing the agreement as a step forward while others said it did not address many major concerns and expressed concern about the severability of the agreement.

“This is nothing like what we would think of as a traditional agreement where two sides sit down and try to work together,” Fisher said. It’s a little bit more, ‘how do we kind of exist and maybe use this to build the cooperation I don’t know that we necessarily have had?’”

Brown said a date has not been set for the agreement to go before council as the city wants to ensure residents have time to provide input before that happens.

Tales of New Years past

appy New Year everybody! Yes, 2020 is finally over and since this edition is published on New Years Eve, I’m beating everyone to the midnight toast by a few hours. That’s kind of different for me because usually I’m a few minutes late to the clinking of the glasses and kissing my sweetheart. It’s kind of hard to do that when you have a pair of drumsticks in you hands and are in the middle of playing Auld Lang Syne for everyone else at the party.

New Years Eve has always been a little different for me than for most other people.

To me, it’s a work night. A really good work night because it usually pays double scale at least. It’s been how I covered half

the cost of my Christmas shopping since about 1974. I have built up an enormous collection of silly party hats and noisemakers that could probably get me close to $10 on Ebay. Ah, the memories.

Of course, this year my hat collection will be missing the one that says 2021 since almost every place a band could play has been put under restrictions and everything is canceled. Even the big fireworks display in downtown Denver has been put off for another year. Well, don’t get yourself all upset over it. Trust me, after all the things I have seen at New Years Eve parties and celebrations, take this year off and be thankful someone isn’t going to be able to talk you into entering the danger zone that

could get you killed. It’s not worth fretting over missing a glass of the cheapest champagne the venue could buy in bulk. Ok, to be fair, there is probably some place out there that normally serves the good stuff, but I’ve never played there.

Since most of us will be staying home this year, let me tell you a few stories of New Years past from the perspective of a guy sitting on the stage watching the whole thing going on around him.

So, let’s start with the story I briefly mentioned in last week’s column. This was about 15 years ago. I was booked with a jazz quartet to play in an upscale bar/ SEE AKAL, P11

‘Hard to put into words’ Volunteers remember veterans at Fort Logan for Wreaths Across America

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The hallowed marble rows of headstones at Fort Logan National Cemetery were brightened the week before Christmas, as volunteers with Wreaths Across America honored the dead with bow-festooned balsam pine wreaths.

“It’s a patriotic opportunity to come give thanks,” said Troy Nevergall, one of dozens of volunteers who helped lay more than 11,000 wreaths at the cemetery over the course of three days.

Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit that seeks to show admiration for veterans, began at Arlington National Cemetery, and this year had 2,557 participating locations.

Two of Nevergall’s grandparents lay beneath headstones at Fort Logan.

“Partly this is about coming here to be part of this beautiful place,” he said of the cemetery. “The solace and reverence you experience here are hard to put into words.”

Some have tried. As the volunteers combed the grounds, snow crunching underfoot, the final stanza of Theodore O’Hara’s poem “Bivouac of the Dead” came to mind: “Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter’s blight, Nor Time’s remorseless doom, Shall dim one ray of glory’s light That gilds your deathless tomb.”

restaurant up in Breckenridge. As I mentioned, New Years Eve usually pays double scale, but this one was out of town, at a ski resort so it paid a lot of money. Also, because it was during one of the busiest weeks of ski season, the venue couldn’t get the band a hotel reservation (they sort of forgot about that) so they kicked in even more money. It ended up paying about $1000 per guy. Sounded great! That was, until…

It started snowing about noon that day and ended up one of the worst

blizzards in the mountains ever. We carpooled up there together and left Denver at about 2 p.m.. By the time we got to Georgetown, there were almost 200 cars that had been in accidents all over I-70 and driving past them was like threading an Olympic slalom course. We just kept zigzagging at 5 mph through a little pathway around all the crashes.

Finally we get to Breckenridge at around 7 p.m.. Now, with this kind of weather, you might think they would cancel the whole thing, but no. They had a captive audience up there with thousands of people on vacation and no place else to go.

It was packed. So, we set up and played the gig. It stopped snowing around 10 p.m., so we thought the

trip home was going to be an easy one. But, the temperature also dropped down to about -10 degrees.

Ok, so now imagine a huge parking lot full of cars, all frozen solid with only one tow truck and set of jumper cables trying to get everyone started at 2 a.m.. I think I made it home in time for lunch on New Years Day. Then there was the time I had an early gig at a nursing home that rang in the New Year at about 7 p.m.. Who would expect some guy in his 80’s to get drunk at that hour and try to dance the samba with a nurse, fall into my entire drum set, knock me off my stool and break his hip? I had to duct tape things together to make my 9 p.m. gig that

night.

Then there was the one with a big band where one of the trumpet players had a heart attack and died while we were playing Auld Lang Syne. Let’s not forget everyone getting food poisoning from the shrimp and some idiot shooting fireworks into the band by accident.

Aren’t you glad you’re staying home this year?

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Though the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the sports schedule in 2020 — in particular — the high school sports calendar, there were still some memorable moments. From Pomona winning another state wrestling championship to Ralston Valley’s golfers placing fourth and a number of teams enjoying success on the hardwood, there were plenty of things to celebrate in the sports world this year as far as Jefferson County high schools are concerned.

COVID-19 turns CHSAA seasons upside down

The Colorado High School Activities Association canceled the conclusion of its 2020 state basketball tournaments and the spring sports season due to state protocols put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most Jefferson County high schools, but not all of them had completed their winter sports season for the 2019-20 campaign. Then they missed out on a spring sports campaign because of the virus.

The 2020-21 fall season was postponed to Season C - or next spring - because of the pandemic.

Jeffco schools, however, played multiple sports, including football, which had the option to stay in Season C or rejoin Season A after CHSAA and the state was able to work out variances to allow teams to play. Jeffco schools played in Season A. CHSAA recently announced the 2020-21 winter sports campaign, which had been delayed to the start of January, will now start no sooner than early February after the state announced that it wouldn’t offer variances to allow for indoor high school athletics during an uptick in COVID-19 cases in late November.

Pomona nabs fourth state wrestling title in five years

Just call it a dynasty.

Pomona won its fourth 5A state wrestling championship in the past five years in February, dominating the competition. The Panthers scored 198.5 points, easily outdistancing runnerup Rocky Mountain, which came in second with 110.5 points.

The Panthers sent four wrestlers to the state finals — Jakob Romero (126 pounds), Daniel Cardenas (138), Gage Bernall (160) and Franklin Cruz (195) — with the latter three securing championships. In all, Pomona had 10 wrestlers place at the Pepsi Center.

Pandemic denies Faith Christian shot at seventh state title

Faith Christian will never know if it would’ve won a seventh 3A state boys basketball title in 2020, but the Eagles were among the favorites for sure.

Paced by a pair of double-figure scorers in Caleb Ruter (15.3 points per game) and Caleb Clark (11.0), Faith Christian went 21-4 and finished second to Lutheran in the 3A Metro League.

Coach Abram Ziemer’s squad was dominant in the state tournament, winning its first three games by an average of 18.7 points per game before CHSAA officials were forced to shut down the tournament in the semifinals because of state protocols involving the COVID-19 pandemic.

No. 3 seeded Faith Christian, which won five straight state titles from 2008-12, was to have played 10th-seeded Sterling in the semifinals for a spot in the finals.

Pomona wins league title, reaches semifinals

The fall football season may have been shorter than usual, but the Pomona Panthers made the most of the opportunity.

Led by senior quarterback Jack Pospisil, Pomona (7-1) opened the season with back-to-back shutouts over Chaparral and Lakewood on its way to beating Columbine 14-11 in the regularseason finale to capture the 5A Jeffco League title.

The Panthers routed Eaglecrest in the postsea-

son opener before running into the buzzsaw that was eventual state champion Cherry Creek in a 35-7 state semifinal defeat.

After the season, head coach Jay Madden - a 1986 Pomona graduate himself - stepped down from the helm he’s held for 18 seasons. Madden coached the Panthers to four state championship contests, including an exhilarating 56-49 win over Eaglecrest in the 2017 title games.

RV golfers place fourth at state

Led by Trey Krischner, who carded a two-day total 5-over 147 to tie for second place, the Ralston Valley Mustangs took fourth place in an extremely tight battle for the 5A state boys golf championship.

Just six strokes separated team champion Valor Christian and fourth-place Ralston Valley at The Club at Rolling Hills in October. Arapahoe was two shots back of the state champions, while Regis Jesuit was five strokes back. Jeffco rival Lakewood came in eighth place.

The Mustangs’ Gage Messingham and Lakewood’s Ryan Liao tied for seventh place.

Dominant season for Tuohy-Gaydos ends in heartbreak

Green Mountain cross country runner Grahm Tuohy-Gaydos was as dominant as anyone could be on the cross country course in 2020.

He won a third straight 4A Jeffco League title this year, winning in a time of 15 minutes, 59.7 seconds. He followed that up with a regional title in almost the exact same time, finishing in 15:59.2.

He was on his way to a 4A state title in Colorado Springs on Oct. 17 when he got tangled up with Niwot’s Zane Bergen mere feet from the finish line. Tuohy-Gaydos was disqualified for impeding a runner, costing him that elusive state title.

While the cross country season didn’t end as he would’ve hoped, the future is still quite bright for the male Heisman High School Scholarship winner. Tuohy-Gaydos will run collegiately for Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

Wheat Ridge-D’Evelyn collision course gets derailed

Wheat Ridge and D’Evelyn were as good as it gets in 4A softball this past season. The Famers and Jaguars were the cream of the crop in the SEE SPORTS, P15

Pomona captured its fourth Class 5A wrestling team state title over the past five years Feb. 22 at Pepsi Center. The Panthers dominated placing 10 wrestlers and racking up 198.5 teams points that included three individual state champions.

Jeffco League.

They each finished 7-1 against conference opponents, allowing a combined 23 runs in those games.

They were separated by one run in their 3-2 head-to-head battle, which Wheat Ridge won on Sept. 23.

Seeded No. 1 and 2 in the state, they appeared headed on a collision course to all-Jeffco state final before being upset in the semifinals — Wheat Ridge by No. 4 Mead 15-9 and D’Evelyn by No. 3 and eventual state champion Holy Family 12-7.

Still, Wheat Ridge, D’Evelyn and Conifer — Jeffco’s third-place team — proved the conference more than held its own on the softball diamond in 2020.

Green Mountain girls hoops wins Jeffco title

A picture of balance across the team, the Green Mountain Rams girls’ basketball team ascended to the top of the mountain in the 4A Jeffco League in 2020.

Led by junior Courtney Hank and her 10.1 points per game, the Rams ran the table to a 12-0 record against conference opposition en route to a 24-3 overall mark.

The Rams, who had six players average five or more points per game, were the No. 3 seed in the 4A state tournament and the top remaining seed when they were upset by No. 7 Holy Family in the state semifinals in March.

Two points. That’s what separated Ralston Valley and Valor Christian on Jan. 29. That 60-58 victory on Jan. 29, however, is what helped propel the Mustangs to the 5A Jeffco League boys basketball championship in 2020.

Ralston Valley went 21-4 overall, including 7-1 in 5A Jeffco.

Led by seniors Caleb Rillos (18.5 points per game) and Caden Gigstad (15.1), the Mustangs earned the No. 3 seed in the 5A state tournament. They were headed toward a rematch with Valor Christian in the quarterfinals when No. 19 George Washington, fresh off an upset over Horizon in the second round, upended Ralston Valley 6252 in the Sweet 16.

Demons flex muscles in 4A Jeffco

There was Golden and then there was everybody else in the boys basketball 4A Jeffco League a season ago.

The Demons boys’ team dominated the field en route to the conference title in 2020, winning the league championship by three games over Green Mountain and Wheat Ridge.

Golden (18-7 overall, 11-1 league) was led by the three-headed monster of seniors Kevin Mulligan (11.8 points per game), Ben McLaughlin (11.7) and freshman Alan Acevedo (10.6).

After avoiding an upset from Discovery Canyon in the second round, Golden was bounced in the Sweet 16 by No. 13 Pueblo East 65-62.
