Lakewood council approves transfer City-owned Westland parking lot at heart of decades-old land agreement

Chang, who holds a Masters in Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, said it is not just the skills the program will teach — it’s also the people who will be receiving the training that makes it so unique.

The GRIT program will provide young adults, ages 18-24 primarily identifying as racial and ethnic minorities, with job training on green infrastructure design, implementation and management. Chang said

Deal of the century or promise kept? It depends on who you ask.

Here’s how it started.

In 1992, Colorado Rockies baseball wasn’t a thing. Stapleton was where you went to catch a flight out of town and Roy Romer sat in the Governor’s office. It was also the year long-struggling Westland Mall, once home to iconic retailers May D&F, Fashion Bar and Sears, met its fate in the form of a wrecking ball.

Years before, in an effort to keep the mall afloat, the City of Lakewood infused it with $5 million in funding. In exchange, they became the owner of the mall’s 21-acre parking lot. But all ownership agreements are not created equal.

In an unusual series of events, Lakewood’s city council, somewhere between 1992 and 1996, entered into several agreements with the owner of the mall.

One of those agreements, also known as estoppels, gave the mall owner an open-ended option to buy the parking lot back from the city for $1 million.

Coloradans 50-plus, more frontline workers up for vaccine New phase began March 19; general public could be next in April

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As vaccination efforts ramp up in Colorado, state officials expect to open eligibility to the general

public sometime in April.

The latest batch of age groups and industries to reach priority is Colorado’s “phase 1B.4,” which kicked off March 19 and includes people ages 50 and older, frontline workers in food and restaurants, manufacturing, and other occupations, and certain state and local government workers.

“More shots in arms means fewer lives lost to this terrible virus,” Gov. Jared Polis said in

a March 12 news release. “Given our state’s strides in administering this life-saving vaccine, we are thrilled to be taking this next step and anticipate that we can open up eligibility to the general public next month.”

Changes leading up to now After Colorado received its first shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 14 and health-care centers began giving shots to health-care

workers — part of the state’s first phase of vaccinations — the governor announced that starting Dec. 30, people 70 and older were eligible for the vaccine.

By early January, some hospitals and other health-care providers in the Tri-County Health Department jurisdiction — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — began “phase 1B,” a stage that included SEE VACCINE, P31

JCPH closing large Arvada vaccination site to focus efforts Clinic delivered over 10,000 shots

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As COVID-19 vaccinations got underway in December, one of the first locations to begin offering the shots was Jefferson County Public Health’s vaccination center in Arvada.

The drive-thru site, which operated out of the Arvada Fire Protection District’s training center on Indiana Street, allowed up to six people at a time to get a shot from the comfort of their cars.

The focus of the site was squarely on the county’s most vulnerable residents, with the center being slower than the state to open its vaccinations to wider populations to ensure that it was prioritizing people who were having trouble securing a shot appointment from other providers.

It was also a large-scale operation that has given out as many as 500 shots a day.

But now, after putting more than 10,000 shots into arms, that site is closing permanently on March 25 as vaccination efforts enter a new stage and JCPH changes its focus.

“We’re really trying to move our efforts to focus on the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccine to those priority populations within our community,” said Kelly Conroy, an associate director for Community Health Services at JCPH who is leading the agency’s vaccination efforts. “So that includes commu-

Those looking for additional assistance can also call the county’s vaccine call center at 303-239-7000. nities of color, particularly our Latinx community, and any other communities that are big challenges to accessing the COVID-19 vaccine and also that have been disproportionately impacted by the virus itself.”

Doing so, Conroy said, will involve trying “to meet those priority populations where they are” — an effort that cannot effectively be carried out from one vaccination site in the northern portion of the county.

Instead, JCPH will make several different approaches, including operating mobile clinics that will be able to “go where people are” as well as working with community partners to set up smaller clinics that will focus on distributing vaccines to populations that are being missed by traditional providers.

Some of those clinics will also be hosted at JCPH’s own building in Lakewood, she said.

Recent examples of that including partnering with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on a clinic that targeted members of the Filipino community from around the metro area and a recent clinic in Arvada focusing on families involved in Jeffco’s head start program where members of the Hispanic community accounted for the majority of

the appointment slots.

A big part of that effort will involve working with neighborhood groups and other organizations that can both encourage people to get the vaccine and then help them actually get a shot, often by providing both language resources and other “wraparound services.”

This approach is also born, Conroy said, out of JCPH’s recognition that more boots-on-the-ground work is going to be needed to make sure all communities have accessibility to the vaccine.

“I think the big thing is we know that our health system is not a one-size-fits-all and (delivering) the

COVID-19 vaccine is also the same,” she said. “So, we have to be willing to meet those communities where they are and be very strategic in how we do that.”

Conroy said the approach JCPH is taking also makes sense because JCPH is allocated a far smaller percentage of the vaccine allocated to the county, with pharmacies, hospitals and other health care providers such as Kaiser Permanente allocated the bulk of it because of their ability to distribute a large amount of vaccine more quickly.

That has left JCPH to see much SEE JCPH, P3

of its role going forward as trying to supplement the efforts of those bigger providers by focusing on those populations that might have difficulty setting up an appointment with those providers..

“We’re trying to be really responsive to listening to our community and be responsive to finding those groups that are having those challenges and may not be able to access the vaccine,” she said.

Those efforts are especially important because larger providers are required to post their appointments online and allow anyone who is currently eligible for vaccination under the state vaccination schedule to register for them.

Conroy said that those requirements on larger providers sets a different priority for them, as com-

pared to JCPH’s goal to specifically target underserved communities.

Christine Billings, JCPH’s emergency response manager, said the agency is also advocating with the state for JCPH to be allocated a greater share of the available oneshot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

“We are advocating to get that for populations like our persons experiencing homelessness so we can get out and do that boots-on-theground outreach with that population,” she said.

But while JCPH is ready to turn its attention more fully to reaching the underserved, Billings and Conroy said there are still some mixed feelings about seeing the Arvada site close, even as the closure is a testament to the success of some of the early vaccination efforts.

“It was a monumental effort to meet a huge need,” she said. “It’s kind of sad to see it close down so we can shift to the next level but we are ready for that.”

‘Deed’ or ‘Title’ — Homeowners Are Confused About Ownership Instruments

You can blame “Monopoly” for some of the confusion. That board game taught us all that there is such as thing as a “deed” to a property. With a “deed” to Boardwalk and some houses or a hotel on it, you could charge rent to those who landed on it — and hopefully win the game.

Meanwhile, the Department of Motor Vehicles has taught us that there is such a thing as a “title.” Meanwhile, when you purchase a home, you receive a “title policy” which guarantees “clear title” to your property.

But surprise! There is no such document as a “title” to your home the way there is a title to your car. There is a document called a “deed” but that is the document which transfers ownership, it is not proof of ownership.

Sorry, I know this is confusing!

So where is the proof that you own your home? It is held by the Clerk & Recorder of your county, and it’s based on the most recent deed recorded with the county. The only proof that Rita and I own our home in Golden is that the most recently recorded deed transferred the property to us. There is no other document which we have or can produce to prove we own our home.

Last year the state-mandated contract for the purchase and sale of real property changed the way deeds are specified.

The agent preparing the contract specifies whether the buyer wants to obtain ownership through one of several deeds.

First is the “Special Warranty Deed,” by which the seller warrants that he is transferring ownership of his property free of any known lien or claim of ownership during the time he/ she or they owned the property.

That is the most limited type of deed.

The buyer might, however, demand a “General Warranty Deed,” by which the seller is warranting that there is no other claim of ownership (or lien against the property) going back to the beginning of time.

What you need to know, however, is that, regardless of which type of deed is used to transfer ownership, the buyer should receive an “owner’s title policy” (typically paid for by the seller) guaranteeing free and clear title to the buyer. In other words, it hardly matters which type of deed is used to transfer the property. You’re still protected.

Title insurance differs from other kinds of insurance because it has no term. It is a one-time purchase that covers the new owner of the property forever. It never has to be renewed.

Prior to issuing the title policy, the title company does a “title search” looking for any recorded claim of ownership or lien against the property in question.

If a claim or lien is not recorded with the county in which the property is located, it can’t be enforced.

It is possible, of course, that a claim or lien might be overlooked during the

title search, but it’s pretty rare. I recall once in 1991 I purchased an older (1905) office building in Denver, receiving a title policy from Land Title Guaranty Company. Within a year or so, I was notified of a lis pendens against the property, but the lawyers for Land Title did whatever they had to do in order to clear it, costing me nothing. Since that time I can’t think of any claims against any title policy held by me or any of my clients — and I’ve had quite a few!

There are other types of deeds beside Special Warranty and General Warranty.

If the property is owned by the estate of a deceased person, the property is transferred by a “Personal Representative’s Deed.” If the property is purchased at a foreclosure auction, it is transferred by a “Public Trustee’s Deed.” If a property is purchased out of bankruptcy, it is transferred via a “Trustee’s Deed.”

A “Quit Claim Deed” is used when real estate is transferred without being sold for money. For example, if John Doe were to marry Jane Doe and wanted to put a home he owned in both their names, he could “quit claim” it from John Doe (as “grantor”) to John & Jane Doe (as “grantees”). If they divorce later on, John & Jane Doe might quit claim

the house to either John or Jane, with or without a monetary settlement on the side.

With such examples, I hope you now understand that a “deed” is in fact an instrument of transfer, and not a title to property.

Because there is no physical title to real estate, the first thing that a title company does when asked to execute a contract to sell a parcel of real estate is to issue a “title commitment,” which is a document asserting who the recorded owner of the property is and to whom it is to be transferred.

There is one other use of the word “deed,” and that’s for the “Deed of Trust” which a mortgage or other lender has you sign when you take out a loan of any kind which is secured by your home.

That document is recorded with the County Clerk & Recorder and is the basis for that official to hold a foreclosure auction if you default on the loan.

I am not a lawyer, and I am providing this information as I understand it from real estate classes and from my experience as a real estate licensee. You’ll want to engage a lawyer if you require further explanation, and I, like any real estate licensee, can refer you to one.

Here’s a Postscript to My All-Electric Home Column Some readers were surprised to read my column promoting the all-electric home as a cost-effective contribution to the mitigation of climate change.

That’s because an all-electric home has, in the past, not been a good or costeffective type of home construction.

If you’re thinking of 20th Century home construction, promoting the all-electric home would make little sense. Electric baseboard heating has its place, but not as a whole house solution. One advantage of it is that each room can have its own thermostat, so you’re only heating rooms when you use them. For the heat it produces, however, it is many times more expensive than using a mini-split heat pump solution.

Recently I showed a home where a heat pump mini-split was used to heat a detached and insulated garage which doubled as a workshop. That’s a great application for that kind of heating — also because the mini-split can cool the garage in the summer, not just heat it in the winter.

There has been a revolution in the development of electric appliances, too. The induction cooktop, for example, is a highly efficient replacement for earlier electric ranges or cooktops which used resistancebased cooking elements.

Another change from the 20th Century: you can now generate your own electricity with highly affordable roof-top solar photovoltaic installations.

Mines seniors launch clothing that celebrates female engineers Pair says goal of line is to challenge bias that engineering is and should be for men

As a senior at Colorado School of Mines, Amanda Field has experienced first-hand some of the challenges faced by women who want to work in the male-dominated field of engineering.

“A lot of times in school it appeared as being asked to be the writer or the note taker in my group projects and not really being given any responsibility in terms of the engineering and the math and the actual science of it all,” she said.

For Claire Knight, one of Field’s female friends at Mines, such biases often become evident when she goes to professors’ office hours and asks a question to find that she is given an explanation that is unnecessarily detailed compared to what would be given to a male peer.

“Definitely I have felt that people don’t expect that I would have the same credibility as anybody else with my same degree,” Knight said.

“So we’re definitely trying to challenge that.”

It’s that desire that has led the pair to start A&C Designs Company, a business specializing in producing clothing that is intended to promote pride among women who want to go into engineering and other fields that are often unwelcoming to them.

Field said she had been thinking about how fun it would be to create such a clothing idea for some time.

She first brought the idea to Knight, who she describes as being “super creative and having a craft side to her brain,” last November.

Knight, in turn, was 100% in and quickly whipped up a T-shirt printed with a design she created based on the concept Field described.

“We definitely saw a hole in the market of clothing and apparel for woman that want to showcase their brain and that they are proud to be

where they are,” Knight said. “Usually clothing in that area is not very stylish.”

The A&C Design Company website, launched on March 1, includes a lineup of T-shirts, sweatshirts, beanies and stickers. The most popular designs are emblazoned with the word “engineer” with a female gender symbol replacing the “i.”

A second design includes the phrase “engineering the future” with the gender symbol. There is also a shirt that says “My girlfriend is an engineer.”

While the company is still in its infancy, Field says the pair is already working on a new design to promote woman scientists and hopes to eventually expand the company’s offerings to include other fields.

“We got a lot of requests to branch out to areas other than engineering which is totally fair,” she said.

However, those future plans for A&C Design Company will have to be balanced with the careers Field and Knight are set to start after they graduate in May. Field is joining the Technical Leader Program at aerospace and defense technology company Northrop Grumman while Knight is going to work as a mechanical engineer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.

But while the pair says managing the business following graduation will be a new challenge, they say it is one they feel they are ready for now that they’ve confronted all of the obstacles that came with just getting the company off the ground.

“With starting any small business there is a lot to go through — a lot of paperwork and a logistics — and I definitely think we’ll have more to consider in the future,” said Knight.

“But for us it’s just really fun and passion project and I think for both of us it will be worth it to make it continue on.”

Former CMC worker arrested for child porn, filming women Man possessed 13,000 videos of women seemingly recorded without their knowledge STAFF REPORT

A former employee of the Colorado Mountain Club has been arrested on several charges related to filming women without their knowledge and uploading the footage to porn sites, including once uploading such a video of a coworker at CMC. According to a Golden Police press release, Golden Police first responded to the mountain club’s offices at 710 10th Street after receiving a report that a social media account belonging to the organization had been hacked to display a link to a video on a porn website.

The video that was linked showed a woman who did not appear to have

knowledge she was being recorded.

After an initial investigation, detectives identified the alleged female victim as well as the suspected hacker, 39-year-old Chun Min Chiang.

Chang is a former CMC employee and police also determined that he is a registered sex offender.

In December, a team of investigators from Golden Police and other agencies served a search warrant at Chiang’s residence.

Investigators seized computers, cell phones Chiang and various other digital storage devices containing a total of over 40 terabytes of videos and photos, the release said. Processing of the evidence recovered videos uploaded to various porn websites and over 200 images and videos of child pornography and exploitation.

Detectives also recovered more than 13,000 videos appearing to show women being recorded with-

out their knowledge in restrooms, fitting rooms and other locations.

Some of the videos contained footage of women being filmed “up their skirts.”

On Wednesday, March 17, officers with Golden Police Criminal Investigations and Special Enforcement team located Chiang in Wisconsin.

Investigators with the Waukesha, Wisconsin police and the U.S. Marshall’s Office arrested Chiang on a warrant relating to the now six-month-long investigation. The release states that investigation has identified Chiang was booked into the Waukesha County Jail where he

Those charges include, but are not limited to, second-degree burglary, three counts of stalking, eight counts of invasion of privacysexual gratification, four counts of posting private image for harassment, sexual exploitation of a child, and computer crime - unauthorized access. The charges are merely an accusation. Mr. Chiang is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

the grant should fund the program for a period of two years.

“Our young people will become part of the solution to environmental justice while making their own neighborhoods safer, cleaner, and more healthy places to live and work,” Chang said in a recent press release.

“We are also going to partner with a workforce development program to help participants gain soft skills like job seeking skills, interviewing, resumé writing etc, so they are even more employable when they complete the program.”

Chang, who’s been working with Groundwork Denver for 11 years in different capacities, said it is the organization’s first time getting the grant.

“It was probably about a two year process,” she said. “The EPA puts out this grant application every year or two. The last time it came around we weren’t ready as an organization but it gave us good thinking time.

It’s sort of exciting that it’s happening right now.”

Chang said everyone in the organization is super excited because although they’ve had a youth employment program for a number of years, she’s hoping this grant will give them the ability to give people certifications on green infrastructure.

She also thinks it’s a win-win for the community because the GRIT program won’t just benefit the indi-

viduals who complete it, Sheridan will also benefit through the creation of a skilled workforce in the community.

“The young people who go through the program will be certified in community forestry, green infrastructure and low-impact development,” she said. “They’ll also get experience on historic land and land preservation. Our hope is to give them a really wide range of experiences and connect with a lot of employers.”

In the EPA statement announcing the grant, Mark A. Smith, director of EPA Region 8 Land, Chemicals,

and Redevelopment Division, said the grant funding will promote jobs for justice by providing local youth in the City of Sheridan with access to environmental and natural resource professions that were not available to them before.

“Through direct engagement and training, the GRIT program will prepare graduates for much-needed job opportunities that contribute to the future health and vitality of their own community,” he said.

How to get involved Chang said many of the participants in Groundwork programs find

out about them through word of mouth because of the long-standing youth employment programs they offer. And for this program they’ll be looking for people who are from the community they’ll be working to benefit.

“We’ll be looking for people who live, work, go to church, etc., in Sheridan,” she said. “We anticipate most of those folks being black, indigenous, people of color, or folks who have traditionally been shut out of these green careers. Anyone who wants to get involved can go to our website, www.groundworkcolorado.org, to find out more.”

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1

According to Lakewood City Attorney Alison McKenney Brown, the buy-back estoppel was made to get the mall owner to condemn the failing property, which was subsequently rebuilt as Westland Town Center.

Council, at the time, also agreed that the only thing the city would be allowed to do with the parking lot, other than sell it back to the mall owner, was keep it a parking lot — not for just a few years, but until, not a typo, 2082.

How it’s going The owners of Westland Town Center, Atlanta’s RCG Ventures, have decided after 29 years, they want their lot back.

The legal wrangling behind such a transfer is not clearcut however.

RCG was not the property owner that made the initial deal, having only acquired it in 2017. In fact, the company is the fourth entity to own the mall property since 1996.

Opponents of transferring the lot to RCG include several current council members and residents of surrounding neighborhoods.

They say the $1 million agreement was never completed, that certain elements to make it legally binding don’t exist. Many of them would rather let the courts decide what the city’s options are.

Council member, Anita Springsteen, Ward 3, speculated the land could be worth 17 times as much

Ownership of the controversial Westland Parking lot will be transferred from the city to PHOTO BY BOB WOOLEY the center’s owner for $1 million.

as the agreed-upon transfer price today. She said it would be immoral to transfer it back for such a low price, when COVID has the city coffers running low. Council members Ramey Johnson, Charley Able and Mike Bieda also voted not to approve the transfer.

Others, like Applewood Valley Association’s David Ruchman, say it’s not just the money. He thinks the city should slow things down until RCG is willing to tip their hand as to what they plan to do with the center once they have control of the parking lot again.

“It (the transfer) will do nothing for all of northwest Lakewood because the developer either has said

he has no plans, or is refusing to be candid about his plans,” Ruchman said. “Such a conveyance would also not bring the (2040) Vision Plan, currently part of the city’s Comprehensive Plan, any closer to reality.”

But Robert Smith, Lakewood’s Economic Development Director, said a clause in the contract that gives the city only 45 days to complete the transfer once RCG decided to exercise their option, is what’s driving the speed of the process.

According to Lakewood Mayor, Adam Paul, because of the way the contract was structured nearly 30 years ago, the city has no leverage today.

“This was a tough one for all of us to vote on,” he said. “But we now have the opportunity to look at the 2040 plan and reimagine what can be done.”

He thinks refusing to move forward with the transfer now would ultimately lead to a costly, protracted court battle that the city wouldn’t win. He also says not honoring the contract would make it difficult for Lakewood to enter into valuable public/private partnerships in the future.

As for letting go of a piece of property everyone agrees would be worth more on the open market, Paul readily admits it was a deal the city would not be likely to enter

into today, but wants residents to know that the $5 million infusion of cash in the 90s has earned the city roughly $37 million in tax revenues over the last 29 years.

He also remains optimistic the city will be able to work with RCG or another owner, if RCG decides to sell, to guide redevelopment through zoning and other means.

RCG’s plan for the property has indeed been vague. According to Paul, the company claims they would like to reinvest in the property and get new tenants, but the uncertainty around the parking lot has hindered those efforts.

A scroll through RCG’s other holdings might do little to reassure those who want to see a more sustainable high-end development take shape.

Aside from a few Target stores and a Kohl’s, their properties are a mix of run-of-the-mill strip mall fare with a lot of Harbor Freight, Hobby Lobby, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, etc. In other words, more of what the area already has.

Before the vote, council member Johnson expressed her concerns that the center would be redeveloped into high-density residential properties.

Her intuition may be on target.

Several mixed-use and high-density projects have sprung up along Colfax in the past few years. Her fear is that high-density will attract more gas stations and convenience stores, but do little to entice higher-end retailers to move in. She referenced the Aspen Grove center in South Jeffco with the Apple Store, Williams Sonoma and Ted’s Montana Grill as the type of development she’d like to see take shape at the former Westland.

But in an interview with the newspaper, Paul reiterated his stance that to see anything happen, the transfer needed to happen.

“We’ve held the parking lot for a long time and it’s not attracting development,” he said. “If we hold it, it can only be parking lot. If we transfer it, it can be developed.”

In the end, council voted 7 to 4 to approve the sale/transfer of the parking lot to RCG for the million dollars agreed upon 29 years ago.

Paul said that money will likely be reinvested in the area near the center.

Mines anticipating full return to in-person classes in fall School will continue to monitor situation with virus, admin says STAFF REPORT

One year after the start of one of the most unusual periods in its history, Colorado School of Mines has announced that life on campus should feel much more normal at the start of its next school year.

That’s because the school is currently designing all of its classes and labs for the fall 2021 semester for in-person delivery, according to a press release.

The school is also anticipating that all classrooms, teaching labs and research spaces will return to their pre-COVID-19 capacities when the semester beings on Aug. 23. However, the release noted that Mines “will continue to monitor and adapt to changing conditions.”

“Given the projections for vaccine availability, we are planning to return in Fall 2021 to full in-person course delivery, vibrant on-campus living/learning communities and providing the distinctive on-campus learning experience that Mines is known for,” said Mines President Paul C. Johnson and Provost Richard C. Holz in a message to the campus on March 12.

Like all colleges, Mines has experienced significant disruptions since

the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020, when the school announced all classes would be conducted online to finish the Spring 2020 semester.

Last summer, Mines began offering a mix of in-person and online courses and instruction - with students having the option to have all of their course work be delivered remotely.

According to a press release, 70% of the classes offered at Mines during the 2020-2021 have included an in-person component.

As Mines awaits the availability of vaccines for students, Summer 2021 courses will be offered both in-person and remotely. Most lecture courses will be delivered either in an online or remote format, while labs and design classes will be held in-person in de-densified classrooms. Field session courses will be offered in person when possible, in line with public health guidance.

“As we move to full in-person course delivery this fall, Mines will continue to follow public health guidelines to maintain a safe campus environment,” Johnson and Holz wrote.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances that do not allow for a full return to campus, Mines will pursue a plan for Fall 2021 similar to those in place for the 2020-21 academic year, with both in-person and remote options available and more than 70 percent of all classes having

some in-person component in dedensified classrooms.

“There is light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, and we are excited about being back together and having a much more normal fall semester,” Johnson and Holz said.

According to the release, Mines launched a COVID-19 testing program in partnership with COVIDCheck Colorado, as well as an inhouse COVID-19 response initiator team, at the start of the school year.

That team continues to lead contact tracing and reporting activities,

and directs quarantine and isolation efforts on campus.

According to the Mines website, 248 people, including 229 students, 4 faculty members and 15 staff members, have tested positive for COVID-19 at Mines as of January 1.

There were 417 active cases, including 382 students, 12 faculty and 23 staff members, from Aug. 17 to Dec. 31.

As of March 16, there were 32 active cases of COVID-19 among people affiliated with the Mines campus.

Proposed crime bill critiqued in Jeffco Wheat Ridge council and sheriff voice concerns

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A recent Wheat Ridge city council meeting featured legislative updates from District 24 State Rep. Monica Duran (D), and Meghan Dollar, Legislative Advocacy Manager, Colorado Municipal League (CML).

In her remarks, Duran spoke about the state’s recently passed supplemental funding package which focuses on schools, roads, transportation, and funding for wildfires and disasters. She also gave a brief rundown of where money in the state’s stimulus package will be spent and an overview of specific pieces of legislation she’s currently working on.

Dollar took the virtual floor next, updating council on positions CML is taking on certain bills as they make their way through the current legislative session. One of those bills is the controversial Senate Bill 21-062, intended to reduce jail populations across the state.

The bill prohibits a peace officer from arresting a person based solely on the alleged commission of a traffic offense; petty offense; municipal offense; misdemeanor offense; a class 4, 5, or 6 felony; or a level 3 or 4 drug felony.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff

Shrader recently released a statement about Senate Bill 21-062 that read in part “I am insisting legislators amend the bill to grant law enforcement officers the discretion to arrest and incarcerate for any felony charge. Without this modification, I am opposed to the bill.”

Other area police officials, including a deputy chief from Westminster testified at the State Capitol in opposition to the bill’s current wording.

The text of the bill includes numerous exceptions which do allow arrest. One of those exceptions is for a case in which a custodial arrest is statutorily required. There are also exceptions in cases of DUI or where the officer is unable to verify the suspect’s identity.

Other exceptions in the bill allow arrest when the offense is a felony or a victims’ rights crime, a crime where the offense includes an element of illegal possession or use of firearm, the offense constitutes unlawful sexual behavior, or the offense is a violation of a temporary or regular extreme risk protection order, a credible threat to a school, or eluding in a vehicle.

Under the bill, police can also arrest in cases where they feel the the suspect poses a threat to someone else’s safety or the suspect indicates an unwillingness to cease the criminal behavior.

In her update on the bill, which she said was brought to the legislature by the ACLU, Dollar said CML

opposes it unless it is amended.

“Essentially it (the bill) says “we changed practices during COVID in order to create more social distancing in jails and the sky didn’t fall.

Let’s continue those practices.”

I think a lot of members of the community don’t agree with that premise. They don’t agree that the sky isn’t falling,” Dollar said.

When Dollar’s presentation ended, Wheat Ridge Mayor, Bud Starker, asked about possible amendments to SB 21-062 CML was looking for.

Dollar said CML’s main concerns involved provisions in the bill that prohibit monetary bond (for the same cases the bill prohibits arrests in) unless the suspect has failed to appear in court three times.

When Starker turned the meeting over to Wheat Ridge Police Chief, Chris Murtha, and other law enforcement and judicial officials who oppose the bill, withering criticism of SB21-062 ensued.

“When it comes to policing, these are the things that really concern us — our inability to interrupt crime in a way that we’re used to,” Murtha said. “If the citizens of Wheat Ridge knew what was in the bill, they would be shocked.”

His opinion is that police are the last line of defense after multiple systems have either been underfunded or have not been addressed at home or in schools. He also pointed to mental health problems and addiction as drivers of crime.

“When those systems don’t per-

form to the level they’re supposed to, we end up with people who are at risk of committing criminal acts,” Murtha said. “And we are the line between victims and criminals. The current social experiment under COVID is a failure, and that’s why the chiefs of police are so adamantly opposed (to the bill).

Council member Leah Dozeman said she’s heard from constituents that they are moving out of Wheat Ridge because of crime, drug and homelessness issues affecting the city.

Murtha responded that there are resources available for persons experiencing homelessness.

“What we struggle with as a police department is the folks who are really suffering from addiction or mental health issues and their unwillingness to take advantage of the current opportunities because they don’t want to be constrained by the rules,” he said.

Wheat Ridge PD, Division Chief, Darrel Guadnola, weighed in next, saying his voice would be one that disagrees with the notion “the sky’s not falling.” Guadnola, also a member of the Colorado Association of Police Chiefs (CACP), said the organization’s legislative committee is opposed to the bill for being “antivictim.”

However, Colorado Politics reports that the County Sheriffs of Colorado organization is neutral on the bill.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Magical moment helps us weather the storm ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

O

n the Saturday morning of the big snowstorm, I was part of a special moment that I also want to share with you. Before the storm really ramped up, I happened to gaze out my second-story window to a couple of cars with only a few inches of snow of them.

The wind had not yet started and it was a pretty placid scene overall.

Then a raven swooped down to land on top of a small hatchback across the street.

The bird hopped about a bit, leaving its spiky footprints in the snow. I was amused in the sort of “ew-a-bird-probably-justpooped-on-the-top-of-that-car” kind of way when the moment turned magical.

The raven leaned forward and tucked its head down, pushing through the snowfall just as a dog would snuffle through the snow with its nose. The raven flopped on its back, waggling and flapping its wings for all the world like a snow angel against the top of the car, sliding around and jumping back up.

Fascinated, I watched as a bird I don’t usually like – raucous, intrusive, and intimidatilngly big – played, yes, played in the snow on top of that car … hopping,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A good “Dream” act The House of Representatives on Thursday passed landmark legislation that creates a pathway to citizenship for undocumented youth who came to this country as children, grew up in our communities, and know no home but the United States.

I would love to thank my Representative: Ed Perlmutter for doing his part in cosponsoring the bill. I hope our Senators, Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, will work to ensure that HR 6, the Dream and Promise Act, passes the Senate quickly.

Our nation is stronger because of the immigrants who come to our country every year. As someone hoping for a more just world, I strongly believe that legislation to provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrant youth known as Dreamers is an urgent priority for our Jefferson County communities.

Ultimately, we need Congressional action to overhaul our entire immigration system, the first steps that congress took last Thursday with the Dream and Promise Act is a good start.

rolling and diving in the white stuff. From where I sat, there was no purpose but pure enjoyment.

Just then, another raven flew by and my buddy lifted off to follow, leaving me to reflect on the wonder of what I had just observed.

The feature story of the December 1994 issue of National Geographic magazine was “Animals at Play.” On the cover is a photo of a young Japanese macaque, a small forest-dwelling monkey, carrying a snowball it made, and the photographer said he also saw two young macaques rolling a snowball together.

A mountain goat from Glacier National Park was photographed in jumps and twists that are “the most common and widespread acts of play.” According to the article, antelope and horses also make such spectacular leaps, as do dolphins and whales. I was surprised to learn that desert mice leap by moonlight, and that hippos do underwater backflips!

In addition to such solitary play, observers noted other social play that includes chasing and tussling games among siblings from zebras to bears to baby

elephants. Often, both juvenile and adult animals join in.

As I watched the snow play unfolding before me that Saturday morning, I remembered one particular segment of that National Geographic story: a raven bathing in snow on a Welsh hillside that rolled onto its back and slid downhill for about 10 feet … not just once, but several times, hopping up and walking back to the starting point. What purpose other than pure enjoyment?

On the other hand, my own reaction to the storm that weekend was pretty much fretting about the eventual amount of snowfall and relief that I wouldn’t have to shovel because I wasn’t going anywhere.

Plus, there was no one around to romp with, anyway.

Thinking back now, though, to my friend frolicking solo on the top of that car, I realize that play – just for the sake of play – is a much better way to weather a storm.

Andrea Doray is a writer who notes that all traces of that magical moment disappeared with the continued snowfall. You can contact Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Odds and ends and underdogs

s there anything we love more in this country than an underdog?

Speaking for the non-gambling portion of the reading public, of course.

HITTING I think about that a lot this time HOME of year, with the NCAA basketball tournament going on. There is nothing better than watching a tiny little program who barely squeaked into the tournament taking on a juggernaut who many people though Michael Alcorn might win the whole thing …and winning. It’s what makes the NCAA Tournament the best sporting event in America. In a five-game series, Illinois probably beats Loyola of Chicago four times; but in a win-or-go-home tournament, that one possibility for the Loyolas of the world is all they need to make history.

In fact, we love underdogs so much in this country that we almost have a disdain for success (unless it’s the home-town team that is winning).

Think about how tired everybody was five years ago of the San Antonio Spurs — all they did was play an unselfish, team-oriented, entertain-

ing brand of basketball without a lot of flash, and they had an incredible run of success. Boring. Next!

I don’t think I need to bring up the dreaded New England Patriots. And how much hate do we tend to reserve for the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers?

And, of course, all of that has been exacerbated over the years by an underlying cultural movement towards contempt for success: nobody wants to emulate the guy going down the street in the big car any more, we tend to assume he is either evil or corrupt.

But for three weeks every Spring, we get to watch 63 games in which the assumption of corruption is pushed to the back burner (because we all know what a crack job the NCAA does of policing its own). 63 games that might feature players whose names will never be in lights playing for universities that we’ve never heard of staring across the line at young man-child freaks of nature who will be multimillionaires in months. And, once that ball is tossed onto the court, it doesn’t matter which is which.

It’s one of our most charming traits as Americans, a lasting legacy of our own beginnings as refugees and underdogs. I do hope we never lose that unsophisticated joy of

always rooting for the Davids of the world over the Goliaths.

Apropos of last weeks’ column, this week in my inbox is the New York Times’ morning newsletter, highlighting the results of a Gallup survey which finds that “both liberals and conservatives suffer from misperceptions about the pandemic — in opposite directions.” For example, 1/3 of conservatives believe that COVID has killed fewer people than vehicle crashes — COVID has actually killed about 15 times more (never mind quibbling about people who die in car crashes with COVID).

On the other hand, 69% of liberals believe the hospitalization rate for COVID is over 20%--the actual rate is about 1%. Middle ground, people.

Come to the logical middle ground.

By the way, did you note that Italy has been placed under lockdown again this week, to last past the Easter Holiday? Pray for our friends across the sea — Europe is having a devil of a time right now.

Once again, we have a major outlet proposing a new facility in our own back yard (Amazon), and once again, forces are lining up against it. I know Maple Valley Park — I either run or bike through it five times a week during the summer.

Working together to reduce wildfire risk in Jefferson County

C

GUEST COLUMN Jefferson County Board of Commissiioners

olorado watched last year the devastating impact of catastrophic fires. Homes were destroyed, families displaced and more than 625,000 acres of land scorched. Firefighters and law enforcement put their lives on the line to save others. In 2020, state officials recorded the three largest fires in Colorado’s history. As our climate changes, scientists forecast that fast-moving wildfires will burn hotter and longer in increasingly dry conditions further fueled by dead forest vegetation like beetlekill trees.

Jefferson County is not immune to wildfires. Almost 25 years later, you can still see the burn scars from the Buffalo Creek fire. The heat was so intense that it scorched the ground, creating what’s known as hydrophobic soil. Destructive flooding followed that caused two deaths and extensive property damage. The fire has a lingering impact on the landscape to this day.

More recently, the Elephant Butte Fire threatened hundreds of homes and families in Evergreen. Thanks to the swift work of first responders and some help from Mother Nature, no one was injured and no structures were lost, saving an estimated $48 million in potential property damage.

These fires occurred in what’s called the wildland-urban interface – or WUI – where development is near or on forested lands. More than two-thirds of the county is in the WUI, including Evergreen and Conifer which rank #1 in Colorado, and in the top 10 nationally, in the potential risk of property loss to wildfire. That’s according to the Verisk Fireline State Risk Report.

The impact of wildfire is not limited to our Foothills communities

either. Wildfire can negatively affect air and water quality in communities across our county.

Reducing wildfire risk is a top priority for the county as we work closely with fire chiefs, the Jeffco Sheriff ’s Office, Jeffco Open Space, Jeffco Planning and Zoning, forest health managers, water experts, community leaders and others to help address this pressing issue, including: • Creating the county’s first ever Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force, which is made up of 31 members representing stakeholders across Jeffco. Late last year, task force members presented several recommendations to county commissioners focused on forest mitigation, community education and funding.

See the task force’s recommendations at: https://bit.ly/3tHRrwL. • Enhancing the county’s building and residential codes to harden new and existing homes against wildfire risk. This work was done at the urging – and in partnership – with Foothills fire chiefs who worked with Jeffco Building Safety leaders to create new codes later approved by county commissioners.

• Improving forest health on 1,000 acres of Jeffco Open Space over the next five years by significantly thinning dense tree stands. This sevenfold increase in activity will reduce wildfire fuels and risk in mountain areas.

Other county initiatives include the Jeffco slash program to help community members remove forest debris near their homes such as dead tree branches, pinecones and needles. Jeffco’s Emergency Management Team is working with partners to update the county’s

Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan.

More at https://bit.ly/3uDU0Rf. Commissioners also approved last year an amendment to the county’s policy to allow for signs in the right-of-way that raise awareness of fire danger and county staff worked on a memorandum of understanding to partner with Evergreen Fire Rescue for mitigation of fire risks within county right-of-way.

Still, more work remains as we address growth and development in high fire risk areas. Jeffco’s Planning and Zoning team is tackling two of the task force’s recommendations: defining the wildland-urban interface and strengthening county regulations and enforcement on defensible space around homes and other structures in the WUI. Other changes under consideration include requiring an evacuation impact report for certain rezoning applications in the Wildfire Hazard Overlay District, requiring proof of fire protection to obtain building permit, and a myriad of proposals suggested by fire protection districts, Mountain Area Concerned Citizens and engaged community members.

We are not only focusing on

wildfire at a county level, but partnering with our state and national leaders. Commissioners and several members of the county’s wildfire task force recently attended Congressman Joe Neguse’s first Wildfire Summit to address policy solutions focused on forest health, disaster recovery, watershed protection and support services for firefighters.

Commissioner Dahlkemper also serves as one of two county commissioners representing the interests of counties statewide on the Colorado Fire Commission, a group created by the Governor to address wildfire issues.

Together, we’re seeking collaborative solutions as we learn from 2020 and move forward in 2021 to keep Jeffco safe from wildfire and protect our public lands for generations to come.

LIFE

A GUIDE TO SAFE SPRING OUTINGS Seizing better weather with friends, family while minding virus

SEE THE SIGHTS

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

ne year after Colorado’s governor announced a stay-at-home order and drastically changed life throughout the state, the coronavirus still dictates the way Coloradans approach having fun and spending time with loved ones.

But as COVID-19 restrictions continue to loosen in parts of the Denver metro area and beyond — and as more Coloradans line up for vaccine shots — the natural question residents may ask is: What’s still off limits? What can be done safely?

One year after a spring unlike any other, many Coloradans may be raring to turn the page and make new memories. Here’s a look at how to take part in common spring pastimes with an eye toward keeping yourself and those near you safe.

Road trips Colorado’s vast expanse and varied scenery lend themselves to few things better than taking road trips.

In the pandemic’s early stages in Colorado, state officials recommended that travel for recreation be limited to a person’s own community, such as their county of residence, or traveling no more than about 10 miles.

The state public-health department isn’t urging that guidance now, but it advises being mindful of the restrictions in different areas.

“We know Coloradans love the outdoors, and we encourage them to enjoy what the state has to offer,” the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the health department, said in a statement. “Coloradans should check with the restrictions in the counties they are visiting to ensure they are in compliance during their stay.”

Checking the county government’s website for the area you’re visiting can be a quick, informative step. The state also maintains a map showing each county’s COVID-19 restriction status, along with a chart of what each status means, at covid19.colorado.gov/data/covid-19-dial-dashboard.

Traveling in cars with non-household members can increase your risk of contracting COVID-19, a page on the state’s COVID-19 page from June says.

Yard, house parties Colorado’s guidance on backyard or indoor parties differs based on whether people have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

“For those who have completed their vaccination, the (federal) CDC has provided guidance on what activities are acceptable,” the state information center said in the statement. “Individuals

who are not vaccinated should limit gatherings, follow local recommendations, wear masks and physically distance.”

The federal guidance is located at tinyurl.com/ CDCvaccinatedguidance.

A less-talked-about aspect of Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions lately was the limit on personal gatherings.

The state’s COVID-19 dial is the set of restrictions counties must follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system also affects capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings.

Among the dial’s six levels, blue is the secondleast restrictive. Purple, the most restrictive level, is a stay-at-home order.

Nearly the whole state was operating under the blue or yellow levels as of mid-March. Some Denver-area counties had progressed to blue by then, but others were still in yellow.

But the personal gatherings restriction had been the same across blue, yellow and orange — the middle levels. The state had allowed up to 10 people from no more than two households, although it’s the type of regulation where officials generally must rely on voluntary compliance.

On March 19, Colorado released a draft of the latest revisions to the COVID-19 dial, which included changes that would do away with the limit on personal gatherings. The proposed update — dubbed “dial 3.0” — was to take effect on March 24.

“There is no longer a state limit on personal gathering sizes,” the state public-health department said in a news release announcing the update. “The state will follow (federal) CDC’s guidance on personal gatherings. The CDC still strongly recommends avoiding larger gatherings and crowds to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

While there are “still many unknowns” to how Colorado will continue to reopen, the state’s office in charge of promoting tourism says it is optimistic for the spring and summer travel season ahead.

“Destinations and businesses across the state continue to adhere to state and local COVID mandates including the wearing of masks in public places and physical distancing, and we do anticipate these practices to carry forward into summer in some capacity,” said Caitlin Johnson, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Tourism Office.

The office encourages visitors to check local guidance while planning and taking trips across Colorado and asks that they continue to follow restrictions “to protect themselves and the communities they are visiting,” Johnson said.

Some upcoming attractions around Colorado, according to the tourism office, include the following: • The Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak railway will reopen in spring after a multi-year hiatus for repairs. Billed as the world’s highest cog railroad, the railway is one of Colorado Springs’ top attractions and, since 1891, has been carrying visitors to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak.

• Launching in April, the Colorado Liquid Arts Passport is a marketing campaign to promote breweries, cideries, distilleries and wineries across the state. The “unique digital passport” is to provide patrons with discounted tastings and offers from some of the state’s best drinking establishments, according to the tourism office. See colorado.com/colorado-liquidarts for more information.

• The Golden Mill, expected to open in spring, will be a new indoor and outdoor food hall and beer garden built in a historic 1865 mill on Clear Creek in downtown Golden. The new destination will offer an extensive selection of self-pour beers, wines, ciders and cocktails. The 5,000-square-foot rooftop deck — downtown Golden’s first — will provide 360-degree views of the North and South Table Mountains, Clear Creek and Mount Zion.

• The much-anticipated Palisade Plunge, a singletrack downhill mountain bike trail, is expected to fully open in spring.

A roughly $3 million investment that was nearly 10 years in the making, the trail starts at the top of Colorado’s Grand Mesa and descends to the town of Palisade.

nderstanding oneself is the work of a lifetime - a subject that has been the focus of centuries of artwork. That includes “Birth of Self and the Complexity of Ego,” Viktor Frešo’s new exhibit at K Contemporary gallery.

Born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, Frešo’s work is difficult to characterize, oftentimes blending elements of sculpture and wall art, and the work on display in this show invites the viewer to consider how one views themselves and others.

The exhibition runs through April 24 at the gallery, 1412 Wazee St in Denver. To maintain social-distancing measures, guests are limited to five per exhibition and require

advanced reservations. K Contemporary is open from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

“The work in the exhibit is really interesting, especially the well-known as `Pi us,’ figure,” said Doug Kacena, artist and owner of K Contemporary. “I really like the enormity of the scale of the work, and how confronting they are. They look really full of themselves in some way, but you’re almost sympathetic to them, even while you’re judging them.”

Frešo’s Picus made its debut in 2013 and in the years since has been on display all over Europe.

“The figure evokes the essence of negative

emotions that people try to hide all of their life, while his physicality simultaneously reminds us of the ridiculous and insignificance of his self-proclaimed importance and arrogance,” said Frešo in a provided statement.

The exhibition was supposed to be on display in April of 2020, but since Frešo is based in Europe, when COVID-19 shut down borders all over the world, it had to be rescheduled. But Kacena said it was important that his work be highlighted, not only because of its quality but also because of the mission of K Contemporary.

Prom The end of the school year means prom, a topic that comes with added anticipation after a spring of onlineonly schooling last year.

Colorado’s public-health department offers painstakingly detailed guidance for prom, saying the rite should follow the state’s indoor and outdoor events restrictions.

For counties in level yellow, for indoor unseated events, the COVID-19 dial restrictions allow 50% capacity or 50 people without using the state’s social distancing space calculator (or up to 100 with the calculator), whichever is fewer. See the calculator at covid19. colorado.gov/distancingcalculator.

For outdoor unseated events in yellow counties, the dial allows 50% capacity or 175 people, whichever is fewer.

A public health order formally outlines how the dial system works. See that at tinyurl.com/DialPublicHealthOrder.

“All in-person events are required to follow capacity limits guidance for indoor and outdoor events; however, we highly recommend that schools consider hosting these events outdoors when possible,” the state’s prom guidance document says.

The prom-specific guidance adds: “Consider two or more timed events to allow greater spacing while still allowing full participation.”

“We want to take this amazing art scene in Denver and elevate it to a national and international scale and level,” he said. “We’re always asking how we can bring important cultural dialogues from the rest of the world to Denver. It’s surprising me that Viktor isn’t well known in the US yet because his work is very important and beautiful.”

What visitors make of Pi us and Frešo’s - like all art - will depend on the person, but Kacena believes everyone who sees it will have a reaction and he hopes people investigate and discuss that reaction.

“What’s so beautiful about art is that at a time when it’s so easy to think you’re alone in this world, you can have these connections with art while going through your own unique challenges,” he said. “I want people to take a look at the ideas

It also suggests assigning students to groups, or “pods,” of no more than 10.

“While at prom, attendees are allowed to be less than 6 feet from members within their designated pod but must remain at least 6 feet away from separate pods,” the guidance says.

Wheat Ridge’s Grammy’s Goodies keeping things real Tight-knit family and supportive community keep Italian eatery afloat

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

You take 44th Avenue to Harlan Street, head north, look to your left and you’ll see it. A small Italian joint so authentic, it would fit right in to the opening credits of the Sopranos.

The story behind Grammy’s Goodies is a uniquely American story about the great-granddaughter of an Italian immigrant who came through Ellis Island — native of Wheat Ridge, graduate of Wheat Ridge High School, who found her calling through necessity and with her family, turned it into an enduring business.

It’s Saturday evening, 6 p.m., and the place is, no exaggeration, hopping. The vibe is controlled chaos kept moving by Joeylyn Corder, daughter of owners Jeff and Vickie.

The sun is starting to go down on this, the first day of spring. Customers stand distanced in small cohorts in the parking lot. Some, waiting for a table in the dine-in tent, set up in front of the restaurant for COVID compliance. Others wait for their chance to go in to pick up carry-out orders or be tempted by mouthwatering creations in the pastry case.

“My staff is 50% family and 50% like family. They come to work, they come home and have been COVID-free,” Corder says. “We’ve had people taking deliveries three or four times a week, plus the City of Wheat Ridge has given grants — we’re lucky to be here.”

Luck is always good. But a featured spot on a highly rated Food Network show doesn’t hurt either.

In Feb. 2020, just before the shutdowns began, Grammy’s Goodies made the big time when Guy Fieri’s hit show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives came knocking.

“We still get business from that show every single day,” she says.

“It was a blessing that came just in time. There are people that literally fly in from all over just to come to the restaurants (featured on the show).”

Grammy’s Goodies, named after Vickie Corder’s grandmother, Lucille (whom Vickie called Grammy), was born out of necessity as a way to earn extra money to put her son and daughter through college,

Corder said.

She started by selling Italian Christmas cookies at a festival in Belmar. That led to selling other types of cookies, as well as her gigantic deep-dish pizzas. The plan worked. People loved the pizza, cookies and other items she and her family sold at festivals and events across the state. Corder says when they first started out, her husband Jeff would haul a borrowed pizza oven to festivals in their Chevy Suburban and have to make a second trip to bring the rest of the family.

In 2015, after years of making it work pop-up style, the family opened the brick-and-mortar restaurant on Harlan Street and the rest is history.

The family business, started as a way to fund college expenses, has now come full circle. Corder’s son, George, and daughter, Joeylyn, both graduated from Colorado State University and came back to work in the family business. George’s wife, Kylie, and Vickie’s husband, Jeff, work there too.

They all still do catering and events as well, but Corder says you’ll find them at the restaurant every day they’re open. The restaurant remains just two blocks from the family home she grew up in.

Help for those experiencing homelessness in Wheat Ridge STAFF REPORT

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

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

“I work with the other homeless navigators in the other municipalities, to help those experiencing homelessness or in danger of falling into homelessness,” she said.

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

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

Raudabaugh’s job as a Homeless

Navigator is to find a stable home for those experiencing a housing crisis. She also helps those individuals obtain the services and resources they need to keep that housing once they have it.

“We use the housing-first model.

So, we focus on getting housing first, and then other basic needs, mental health substance misuse, employment, ect. can all be brought to them, because at least they have a stable starting point,” Raudabaugh said.

As a Homeless Navigator, Raudabaugh works in partnership with local business communities, constituents, metro-area nonprofits and government agencies. She said that while the current pandemic has made traditional in-person outreach with individuals tough, the work has continued through phone and zoom.

According to the press release, the Homeless Navigator position is not an emergency on-call position.

Neither is it designated to work on policy issues like the generation of more housing.

“There’s a lot of different organi-

Raudabaugh said that what she will be doing will be focusing on ensuring individuals in need know where they can go to get basic needs met, whether they be chronically homeless, or on the verge of falling into that life.

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

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

A list of agencies in the community that accept donations can also be found on the City’s website under Homeless Resources.

Anyone with concerns about someone experiencing homelessness can call the WRPD non-emergency number 303-237-2220 and let Dispatch know the location of those individuals. This works for any Jeffco municipality.

“It effects everyone in our community,” Raudabaugh said. “so it takes everyone to work on issue.”

Polis comes to Golden to sign first bill in state stimulus package Bill will provide $30 million in funding for main street improvements, including new lights in Golden’s Miners Alley

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gov. Jared Polis signs SB 21-110 in Golden COURTESY PHOTO on March 19 in Golden.

On Friday, March 19, Governor Jared Polis came to Golden to sign a bill that will provide funding for a purpose that is (quite literally) close to the city’s heart: main streets.

Senate Bill 21-110, or the Fund Safe Revitalization of Main Streets bill, will provide $30 million in state stimulus funding to two statewide programs that provide funds to communities to revitalize their main streets and make them safer.

Polis signed the bill in Miners Alley, which is set to receive new hanging lights that will be paid for with dollars from those programs. Cities will be able to use the funds for everything from creating spaces for kids and

families to installing stages and structures for gatherings and cultural events that will attract people to main streets, he said.

“We know how important our main streets are and right here in Miners Alley this is going to be an example of a project Golden residents and those who visit Golden are going to be so proud of,” he said. “It helps attract even more business to our downtown areas and you are going to see these kinds of projects all over Colorado.”

The bill is the first in a series of several proposed bills that would provide a total of $700 million in stimulus funding for Colorado to be signed into law.

“It’s official,” said Polis upon signing the bill. “And it’s special to be the first, isn’t it?”

Polis was joined at the ceremony by several of the state senators who sponsored the bill. Among those sponsors was State Senator Tammy Story, whose district is centered on Golden.

“I am delighted that Golden has an opportunity to utilize some of this $30 million dollars to help revitalize their main street here,” said Story. “The opportunities and possibilities for the summer and beyond are just endless.”

Resignation on Foothills Parks & Rec. Board creates open seat STAFF REPORT

The Foothills Parks and Recreation District is accepting applications for a vacant seat on its Board of Directors.

After six years serving on the board, including two years spent as the Board’s Chair, Lori Bosanko, Ward 5, resigned her seat during a regular board meeting March 9. She said she is leaving the board to take on a more substantial role with her employer.

According to the official press release, Bosanko expressed her gratitude for being able to serve the District when she announced her intention to resign.

“I have enjoyed working for the constituents of Foothills Park &

Recreation District for the past six years,” Bosanko said. “I have learned a lot about the value the District provides to our community and I am grateful to have had this opportunity working with Foothills’ employees to understand the vast services the District provides.”

Foothills Executive Director, Ronald Hopp, said Bosanko has been an excellent board member while praising the accomplishments the board made during her tenure.

“We’re sad that Lori is resigning from the board, but excited for her in her new work endeavors and the opportunities it will provide her,” he said. “We’ve accomplished a lot as a District while she served on the Board.”

The District’s statement recognized Bosanko for numerous accomplishments during her time on the board including passage of two mill levy elections, numerous neighborhood park improvements, Clement Park redevelopment and helping manage service and financial impacts of COVID-19.

Ward 5 includes the southernmost area of the District south of Ken Caryl Avenue. The District map and more information about the Foothills Board of Directors can be found at www.ifoothills.org.

Bosanko was elected to her second term in 2020. It is set to expire in May 2023. According to State Law, the Board has 60 days to appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of her term.

According to the statement released by Kate Dragoo, Communications & Marketing Supervisor, Foothills Park & Recreation District, the Board would like to appoint a replacement as soon as possible, hoping to have a new Board member in place for the April 27, board meeting. A special meeting has been set for 7 p.m. on April 20 to conduct potential board candidate interviews.

Interested candidates must be a registered voter in Colorado and either a resident or property owner in Ward 5. Please contact Richelle Riley at richeller@fhprd.org to verify residency or ownership status and to obtain a self-nomination form.

The deadline to submit an application is April 14.

Green Mountain’s season ends with another state semifinal loss

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Green Mountain sophomore Jayda Maves (23) looks for room to operate during the Rams’ Class 4A Final 4 game against Windsor on March 18 at Green Mountain High School. Maves will help lead next year as the Rams attempt to continue Green MounPHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS tain’s success with its girls basketball program.

LAKEWOOD — It was unfortunately a familiar feeling for Green Mountain’s girls bas-ketball team Thursday, March 18.

The No. 3-seeded Wizards defeated No. 2 Green Mountain 70-44 in a Class 4A state semifinal game on the Rams’ home court to end Green Mountain season. It was a heartbreaking loss for Green Mountain (17-1 record).

The Rams were undefeated going into the Final 4 game. Green Mountain’s last loss came a year ago when the Rams lost in the 4A state semifinal against Holy Family.

“Windsor is on a different level for now,” Green Mountain coach Darren Pitzner admitted. “It’s something our next senior class and our underclassmen can emulate and shoot for. I’m excited about where Green Mountain is going.”

The Rams were trying to advance to a girls basketball state title game for the first time in the program’s history. Instead, it was Windsor (16-2) moving on to its first championship game since the Wizards won the 4A title back in 1994.

“This means so much. We were so ready and excited,” Windsor junior Alexis Backhaus said after the road victory against Green Mountain.

“We’ve been ready since June. We’ve been doing things since then to prepare. This is what we were meant to do this season.”

However, it was No. 4 Mullen (17-2 record) lifting the 4A state title Sunday, March 21, at the World Arena in Colorado Springs. The Mustangs dominated the Wizards with a 67-44 victory.

In the semifinal between Windsor and Green Mountain the Rams actually led 9-8 through a sluggish first quarter for both teams offensive, but Windsor turned it on in the second quarter.

Backhaus poured in a pair of early baskets in the third quarter.

Reed powered her way inside to put Windsor up 14-11 with 4:55 left in the second quarter. Then it was senior Kylie Sanger to get going offensive with a pair of 3-pointers before the midway point of the second quarter.

“We are super in shape,” Backhaus said of the Wizards outscoring the Rams 43-26 in the second and third quarters. “We just kept running and pushing. We kept running our offense like we do every game.”

Backhaus (23 points), Sanger (14 points) and Reed (20 points) carried the load offensively combining for 57 points. Backhaus and Sanger poured in three 3-pointers each during the middle quarters. Reed dominated down low to help the Wizards to an eighth straight victory.

“My teammates do a really good job of getting me good looks,” said Reed, who scored most of her points in the paint. “It was awesome.”

andwiched between waves of spring snow, the boys soccer teams of the front range squeezed in all the games they could last week.

For 4A Jeffco League teams, Evergreen and Alameda currently stand on top after one week of play.

Evergreen, for winning its first league match against D’Evelyn and also for its 6-2 shelacking of Pomona. Alameda earned three wins last week, beating Littleton, Arvada and Green Mountain.

In 5A action, it is Bear Creek with the strong early showing, having downed Chatfield (2-0) and Dakota Ridge (8-2).

Green Mountain senior Courtney Hank (33) drives on Windsor junior Olivia Reed during the Class 4A state semifinal game March 18 at Green Mountain High School. The Rams’ season came to an end with a 70-44 loss. Hank — Green Mountain’s lone season — finished with more than 1,000 points and 600 rebounds during her stellar 4-year PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS career with the Rams.

FROM PAGE 20

Sears and sophomore Jayda Maves had 13 points each to lead the way for the Rams, who have a 41-4 record over the past two seasons that in-cluded the program’s first state semifinal appearances.

“I’m really excited about the whole Green Mountain community that they’ve got a pro-gram from our 2ndgraders all the way up to our seniors to be proud of and motivated to see what they can accomplish,” Pitzner said.

Green Mountain graduates just one senior in Courtney Hank.

Last year’s 4A Jeffco League MVP finished her career with more than 1,000 points and 600 rebounds.

“I’ve been lucky to coach a special senior in Courtney,” Pitzner said.

“She has been the foundation of the turnaround of this program and the face of this program.”

Pitzner emphasized how strongly he hopes that the COVID pandemic won’t have such a hold on prep sports in Colorado moving forward.

All high school sports’ seasons were shortened this school year and there was a time of no prep sports in November and December when normally the basketball season was in full-swing before winter break.

“It didn’t feel like we would ever get to this point. November and December were dark months,” Pitzner said. “I’m really excited to be done with cohorts and be together as one family. We don’t just love our varsity.

We love our incoming freshmen and everything in between.”

people 70 and older and some health-care workers and first responders.

On Jan. 29, Colorado had again updated its vaccine schedule, rebranding that stage as phase 1B.1 and laying out a 1B.2 and a 1B.3.

Phase 1B.2 kicked off on Feb. 8 and included Coloradans age 65 to 69 and school workers for grades pre-K through 12, among other groups. At the time, the next step, 1B.3, was expected to include “frontline essential” workers in general, along with people age 16 to 64 with two or more high-risk health conditions.

Polis had announced that close to March 5, those groups would likely

Wheat Ridge PD, Division Chief, Jim Lorentz, said he’s seen declines in applications and more officers leaving to get into other lines of work because

be eligible.

It was “also projected that Coloradans ages 60 and up will also be able to start receiving the vaccine around March 5,” a governor’s office news release said on Jan. 29.

Later, the newly updated schedule for phase 1B.3 officially included people age 60 to 64 and specifies agricultural and grocery store employees as the frontline workers with new priority. The phase includes people age 16 to 59 with two or more high-risk conditions. The change was dated Feb. 26.

See the chart about halfway down the page at covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine for a list of high-risk conditions. Phase 1B3 began as expected, timewise, March 5.

Change in priority The latest schedule added phase 1B.4 that includes people age 50

and older — giving those Coloradans earlier priority than before — along with other frontline workers and people ages 16 to 49 with one higherrisk condition.

That includes frontline workers in the following fields: higher education staff in community colleges and colleges, food and restaurant services, manufacturing, the U.S. Postal Service, public transit and other transportation, governmental public health agencies, human services, faith leaders, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness, and frontline journalists.

The phase somewhat mirrored the previously planned phase 2, which was set to begin in spring for Coloradans ages 60 to 64 and people with one high-risk condition.

There were no changes

to the definitions of the state’s phases since Feb. 26, said Victoria Graham, a spokeswoman for the governor’s office.

The timing of Phase 1B.4 was moved up a couple of days from its original timing of March 21, Graham said.

Mass vaccination efforts Colorado was set to launch six state-run “community vaccination sites” across the state that will have the capacity to administer 6,000 shots per day, Polis’ office announced in the March 12 news release.

The state launched the first state community vaccination site at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs on March 17. The drive-thru site was to start by providing 2,000 shots per day.

“The facility will be able to conduct 6,000 vac-

cinations per day once there is enough vaccine supply. All vaccines are free with no co-pay,” a March 17 news release from Polis’ office said.

Coloradans who are currently eligible for the vaccine but have not yet received it will still be able to get a vaccine appointment as the state moves forward with 1B.4.

People in the previous phases — such as Coloradans 70 and up — remain eligible and will still be prioritized, according to Tri-County Health Department.

Once the vaccine opens to the general public, vaccine providers will still be able to prioritize those who are at risk due to their age, along with others with high-risk conditions who have not yet received the vaccine, according to the March 12 release.

they’re not sure right now whether they can make a difference, but just writing tickets to criminals and watching warrants stack up because suspects aren’t being arrested won’t turn that around.

While Murtha did repeat several times that he’s open to reform, no spe-

cific discussion of reform within Wheat Ridge was had during the March 15 meeting.

Rep. Duran said the conversation was “enlightening to hear.”

In wrapping up the legislative update portion of the meeting, City Manager, Patrick Goff, called for a

show of hands to oppose the bill as written. The show of hands was unanimous.

For now, the bill has been heard in committee in the senate and is parked in appropriations due to the $93,185 price tag that comes with it for fiscal year 2021-22. If it makes it

out of the senate, it will be heard in the house judiciary committee next. It’s unclear when it would be scheduled for a final vote if it makes it that far. As with all legislation, Jeffco residents are encouraged to reach out to their representatives to express support or opposition to the bill.
