Girl Scouts deliver big dose of spring to Memory Care Flowers and songs put smiles on faces after long year of isolation BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The young ones brought the cookies — something they’re great at — and got right to work arranging flowers for the big exchange. The other ladies, the ones who live at Willowbrook Place and have reached a certain stage of maturity in life, sat in a sunny conference room making bou-

quets to give in return. It was a warm day in temperature and deed as the girls, Izzy, Braelin and Adella, technically Brownies, from Troop 65343 from Aurora paid a visit to a South Jeffco memory care center to make some springtime magic and meet a few new friends in person. The relationship actually bloomed last summer when the girls wrote pen pal notes to the ladies at Willowbrook, hoping to brighten up the long days of isolation.

A little over a year after the Jefferson County commissioners broached closing the Jeffco Fairgrounds in response to budget cuts, the decades-old facility has reached what Jeffco County Manager Don Davis says is a sustainable level of service. However, members of a new county board tasked with preserving the agricultural, equine and youth activities the facility has long hosted say doing so has come at the cost of making severe cuts to the facility’s offerings and left it in a precarious long-term position. “The whole revenue piece has got to change somehow because it’s got us in a stranglehold,” said Lisa Stavig, a member of that board, about provisions of the state TABOR law that have the effect of severely limiting the amount of money the county can spend on the fairgrounds without having to make cuts to other programs. “They’ve cut and cut to the bare bones, and there is nothing else they can cut there unless we close.” The impact of TABOR on county operation and the fairgrounds came to the forefront last year when County Manager Don Davis announced SEE FAIRGROUNDS, P21

Jeffco lays out two-phased plan for return to normalcy County will move to dial Level Blue this week BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

COVID-19 restrictions just got looser in Jeffco as the county charts what it hopes will be a path out of the pandemic and back to pre-COVID normalcy. On April 13, JCPH announced via its website that it had “issued a new public health order through the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and back to a full reopening.” According to the announcement, the order was issued in anticipation of the state retiring the COVID-19 dial and associated public health order that have dictated COVID-19 policy in the state’s counties for much of the pandemic. Last month, the state announced that it would repeal the dial on April 16 and pass a new public health order granting county governments greater control over whether to enforce restrictions. Phase 1 Under the new order, which took effect on April 16, Jeffco will move into Phase 1 of the reopening plan laid out by the order. In Phase 1, both businesses and individuals will be able to operate under the rules and restrictions of the cur-

MASK ORDER

MORE INFO

Under the new reopening plan phases, JCPH’s local mask order, Public Health Order 20-008, remains in effect. Under that order, all residents and visitors must wear a face mask in indoor spaces when six feet of social distancing cannot be maintained. However, that order includes exceptions for situations such as sitting in a restaurant or receiving a personal service such as a facial where removing the mask is necessary to receive that service.

rent dial’s Level Blue. In Level Blue, restaurants and gyms can operate at 100% capacity with six feet of distance between parties while offices can operate at up to 75% capacity. Bars can also reopen at 25% capacity. Jefferson County has been operating in Level Yellow, the next most restrictive level after Level Blue, since April 9 after the county announced its COVID-19 metrics had exceeded the threshholds for remaining in Level Blue. The new order states that Jeffco will operate in Level Blue for 30 days and there will be no adjustment of restrictions during that period. Phase 2 Then, on March 15, the county will move to Phase 2 of its reopening plan and start operating in what the statement calls “a new dial level” called Level Clear. In Level Clear, all business will be

able to operate in 100% capacity with no restrictions. However, the county says indoor mask requirements may still apply. During Phase 2, which JCPH is billing as an observation period, JCPH will closely monitor hospitalizations as a metric to measure how many severe COVID-19 infections there are in the county. Phase 2 will last until Aug. 15. The health order lays out criteria for how JCPH will then be able to move the county to more restrictive levels of the current COVID-19 dial if hospitalizations increase beyond certain thresholds. For example. Jeffco will return to Level Blue if it sees more than two COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 county residents in a 14-day period. It will then move to Level Yellow if it sees more than three COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people in a 14-day period. During Phase 1, the Five Star program, which allows approved business to operate at one level below the county’s current level on the COVID-19 dial, will be suspended. However, Five Star-approved businesses will be able to operate at one level lower if the county ever has to move beyond Level Clear in Phase 2. According to JCPH Executive Director Dawn Comstock, Jeffco consulted with leaders from other Denver metro area counties, to determine the path forward following the state’s retirement of the dial. “We are confident this brief

phased approach will allow our community to work to get our recent increase in COVID-19 transmission back under control, while we race to quickly vaccinate as many people as we can and prevent another surge driven by more-contagious variants,” Comstock said in a statement. “At the same time, our local businesses can better plan for the near future.” Several of those other metro area counties, including Adams and Arapahoe counties, will also adopt the same two-phased approach. However, the county commissioners in Douglas County, which is part of Tri-County Public Health along with Arapahoe and Adams counties, voted unanimously on April 13 opt their county out of following the Tri-County order establishing the phased approach and instead proceed with no restrictions. Recently, Jefferson County has seen increases in its COVID-19 seven-day case incidence rate and test positivity rate. During April 5-11, there were 891 cases of COVID-19 (152.8 per 100,000) in Jefferson County, and the test positivity rate during the same time period was 5.0%. That seven-day case number grew to 171.8 by April 15. According to the release, the two phased approach was developed in part because of advice from the Colorado School of Public Health Modeling Team to Governor Polis stating that it has concluded that delaying policy changes in Colorado until mid-May will prevent large numbers of deaths and hospitalizations. However, the release states that JCPH expects vaccine coverage to be sufficient to control COVID-19 transmission in Jeffco by late May.

said the bouquet exchange was a special opportunity for the girls to come in and reconnect with the ladies in person. After the bouquets were exchanged, the girls stood in the doorway of the conference room and sang to an appreciative audience. Izzy thought the event was “totally fun.” “We made bouquets and sang songs for the elderly people,” she said. “And they made bouquets for us.” Adella said the ladies were “really nice” and taking part in the event made her feel happy. Braelin, a bit interview-shy, declined comment and quickly made her way to pluck a few more flowers from the front of the building with Adella’s brother, Porter.

Home Buyers Have Widely Differing Needs, Wants and Motivations

During my two decades as a licensed real estate agent and Realtor, I’ve met and worked with a wide variety of buyers and sellers and grown to appreciate their varying needs and motivations. Allow me to share some of that with you. Among buyers, I’ve identified at least five types: First-time home buyers: This group has always enjoyed a wide variety of programs to meet their special needs. By the way, you are deemed a “first-time” homebuyer if you have not owned a home during the past 3 years. The primary need for this group is attractive and obtainable financing. The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) has long had programs that require as little as $1,000 out-of-pocket to get into a home, and they offer classes for first-time homebuyers to help them succeed as homeowners. The motivation to change from renter to owner is well understood. Homeown-

ership is the number one method of wealth creation. Not only are the taxes and interest on your home tax deductible (with some limitations now), but your home may well appreciate in value as much as or more than the money you pay for it each month. Then, when you sell, your capital gain on it will be mostly or entirely tax free. With such incentives, the first-time home buyer is highly motivated and rewarded for buying a home. Move-up buyers: Homeowners frequently need to buy a bigger home or simply want to buy a more luxurious one. Typically, this is when children are born or adopted, but with Covid-19 we’ve seen homeowners who need more space to work at home, not just temporarily but long-term. Employers have learned that workers can be just as productive working from home, and employees are liking the lack of commuting time and expense — if they can have a good home office. Downsizing buyers: Empty nesters rattling around in 5-bedroom homes with

Golden Real Estate Wins Golden Sustainability Award Back in 2010, Golden Real Estate was awarded the “Sustainability Award for Business” from the City of Golden for the brokerage’s solar-powered office. Eleven years later, we have been awarded this recognition a second time because of how much further we have taken our passion for sustainability. Back in 2010 we had a 5kW solar array on our roof — enough to power our office, but little else. We had a couple other features — sun tunnels to daylight our office reducing the need for artificial lighting, extra insulation to reduce the amount of natural gas needed to heat the office, and we accepted polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) for recycling. Now, we have two ground-mounted solar arrays adding another 15kW of solar power, providing enough electricity to heat our office with heat pumps and power our five agent-owned Teslas as well as offering free EV charging to the general public. We had our gas meter removed in 2017 and now our Xcel

Energy bill is $10.26 per month, which is the cost of being connected to the electric grid. We are now a “Net Zero Energy” facility — and we’re keeping over 200 cubic yards per year of Styrofoam out of the landfill. Thanks to “net metering,” the electric grid functions like a battery, receiving our excess energy during sunny days and giving it back to us when we need it. We like to consider our office an example that other businesses can aspire to and are grateful for this week’s recognition by the City of Golden.

lawns to mow and bushes to trim are wanting, if not needing, to have a simpler life in a smaller home — perhaps a “lock-and-leave” patio home or townhome where they can travel and not worry about their home while they’re gone. Many of these homeowners have long ago paid off their mortgages, or their mortgage is small enough that they can buy a newer, smaller home and live mortgage-free. Taking out a home equity line of credit on their paid-off home could give them the cash to buy the replacement home without it being contingent on the sale of their current home, which also allows them time to transition from one home to the next. That’s just one strategy that I can share with you if you are in this group. Investors: I don’t work much with investors, preferring to work with people who buy a primary residence, but I have broker associates with extensive experience serving this group of buyers. With the bidding wars going on currently, investors, especially fix-and-flippers, are

having trouble buying homes with enough margin to make a profit on reselling them later on, but it can be done. Relocation buyers: In last week’s column I wrote about “climate refugees” relocating to Colorado from the coasts and other areas with high climate risks. That’s their motivation. Their need is to find the right city, community and home to buy despite being new to Colorado. That’s where they need us the most. Yes, we can give them tours and answer their questions after carefully listening to their needs and wants. Before they even come to town, I like to send them listings and then FaceTime them as I preview homes of particular interest. In just the past month I sold an Arvada listing to a couple from Minnesota and a Denver listing to a couple from Los Angeles. Both went under contract based solely on my video tours and only saw the home in person when they came for the inspection a week or so later. They could have canceled that sale upon inspection, but neither did. They both loved the homes.

How High Are Bidding Wars Pushing Up Home Prices?

We’ve all heard some crazy examples of bidding wars in which homes have sold for way over their listing prices, so I took a snapshot of just one day’s closings, limited to a 15-mile radius of downtown Denver. That takes in an area from Broomfield to Highlands Ranch and from Golden to Aurora. It doesn’t include the City of Boulder. The day I chose was last Friday, April 16th. The source was REcolorado.com. I limited my search to homes, condos and townhouses that were on the MLS at least one day and no more than 6 days before going under contract. Those are the homes with bidding wars. I divided the results into homes which sold up to $500,000 and those that sold for more. On that day there were 48 closings up to $500,000. The median home sold for 4.7% over its asking price. It was a tri-level home in Aurora listed at $420,000 which sold in 3 days for $440,000. Only 3 homes sold for the listing price and 2 sold for less. The highest ratio was 25.8% for a home

in Aurora that sold in 1 day. There were 68 homes that closed on April 16th for more than $500,000. The median home in that group sold for 8.3% over its listing price. It was a 1950 ranch in Denver’s North Hilltop neighborhood listed for $600,000, which sold in 3 days for $650,000. The highest overbid in this group was 18.8% for a 2-story home in Westminster listed for $425,000 that sold in 5 days for $505,000. Only 5 sold for the listing price and 4 sold for less. To get a statistically meaningful number of closings over $1 million, I looked at 68 such closings from April 1-16. The median ratio was 4.3% over listing price. The highest was for a 1954 bungalow in Denver which was listed at $965,000 and sold for $1,205,000, 24.9% over listing. Note: These statistics reflect the bidding wars that were taking place during late March, when most of these listings went under contract. Today’s bidding wars are even more intense. Stay tuned!

North System Renewal project is in full swing in Applewood, Lakewood Water work to upgrade system for Denver and surrounding suburbs BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the 1930s, most of Lakewood, Wheat Ridge and surrounding areas were farmland. It’s during that time that Denver Water’s North System, which brings snowmelt from the mountains through Ralston reservoir to the Moffat Treatment Plant in Lakewood, was built. Now, after 80 years in existence, the North System, its pipelines and valves are nearing the end of their lifespans. In 2017 construction started on Denver Water’s North System Renewal project, scheduled to be completed by 2024. One of the largest water projects in Denver’s history, it has a projected price tag of more than $650 million. The project consists of three major components. The first is a new, state-of-the-art water treatment plant next to Ralston Reservoir, north of Golden in Jefferson County. The second component calls for 8.5 miles of new pipeline, to replace aging pipes, that runs between Ralston Reservoir and the Moffat Treatment Plant in Lakewood. Finally, the existing Moffat Treatment Plant will be revamped and repurposed into a distribution site where water will be stored and distributed to customers. Once finished, Denver Water says, “the system will be more resilient and adaptable to changing demands for water now and into the future.” The North System brings water to 1.5 million people in the metro area. Denver Water’s project website says the upgrades will maintain the reliable delivery of safe drinking water and proactively prevent service failures by replacing a key part of Denver Water’s infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. According to project details listed on Denver Water’s website, east phase construction of the Northwater Pipeline is currently underway. It consists of installing 1.25 miles of the 8.5-mile pipeline from the east side of Applewood Shopping Cen-

Casa Bonita parent company files for bankruptcy Chapter 11 may not be the end of Lakewood restaurant BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Summit Family Restaurants, owner of Casa Bonita, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy April 6, in Arizona. According to reporting from Denver 7, despite the bankruptcy filing, Summit President, Bob Wheaton, is hopeful the Lakewood icon will reopen by Memorial Day. He said one of the biggest challenges they are facingis staffing back up after being closed since March 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Summit previously filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2011, after they were unable to agree on terms for payment of a legal judgment against the company but continued to operate Casa Bonita without closing. Part of a chain that started in Oklahoma City in 1968, Casa

Bonita opened in Lakewood in early 1974. It was designated as a historical landmark by the city in March 2015. Best known for its cliff divers, mariachis, sopapillas, and unmistakable pink facade, the restaurant has become a mustsee attraction for generations of Coloradans. The restaurant obtained popculture cult status in 2003, when it was featured on an episode of Cartoon Network’s South Park. Casa Bonita’s website currently has a bulletin at the top of the home page saying, “Casa Bonita is re-opening soon!” Meanwhile, a GoFundMe fundraising effort, launched by a group of self-described Casa Bonita super fans not directly affiliated with the restaurant has been running since before the bankruptcy announcement. So far, the campaign has raised more than $39,000 of a $100,000 goal. The group has also launched an informational website, www. savecasabonita.org, to drive donations and raise funds through selling Casa Bonita-themed merchandise.

Jeffco debates over inclusivity and smart growth in draft of strategic plan BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A lot can happen in five years, as anyone who has been in Jeffco for the last five knows all too well. But that’s how far Jeffco’s leaders are trying to look to the future as they work to craft the strategic plan that will guide county government activities and resource allocation for the next five years. “When we talk about a strategic plan we talk about it answering three questions,” said Julia Novak, a strategic planning consultant. “What do we know today? What do we hope for the future? And then

how are we going to get there?” On April 15, Novak lead the first of two scheduled community meetings at which she debuted the draft of the plan and sought input from county residents. That plan consists of an overarching vision statement, followed by a list of strategic outcomes, further defined with what she called a definitional or directional statement. Novak said once the plan is finalized the county will develop steps that it can take to make those outcomes happen. “Part of that is aligning the things the county already does that contribute to success in these areas and

then perhaps there is new things, new capital projects, new open space acquisitions and those types of things that become the to-dos that contribute to the outcome.” What they’re talking about The draft strategic plan presented at the meeting included the following elements: Proposed vision: To be a county government that provides equitable, innovative, efficient and quality service to a thriving and safe community. Proposed strategic outcomes and definitional statements. Create safe, healthy and thriving communities: Jeffco communities are diverse active and healthy. People experience a high quality of life and feel safe in their neighborhoods and environments. Enhance inclusive community engagement: Jeffco recognizes, supports and enhances diversity in all forms and uses inclusive approaches to engage communities around issues that matter to them. Ensure responsible growth and development: Jeffco supports balanced growth that enhances quality of life, is affordable for those who live, work and play here and aligns with the counties long range planning efforts. Improve public infrastructure and protect natural resources: Jeffco values environmental stewardship and infrastructure resiliency and works to mitigate natural hazards and ensure ease of movement.

Operate as an Employer of Choice: Jeffco attracts, engages, develops and retains a highly motivated, caring and skilled workforce. Provide innovative, equitable and effective service: Jeffco incorporates new approaches and best practices to continuously approve its responsive and client-centric service delivery. Residents respond Jeffco resident Marcia Brenowitz said she was glad to see the word “safe” included in it because she has noticed more crime in her area recently, including break-ins and car and mail theft. “I never worried about being home in the evening and now I do and I am sorry that I do have to because it was wonderful for the decades it wasn’t a concern,” Brenowitz said. The proposed strategic outcome that seemed to generate the most discussion was about diversity and inclusivity. “I’d like to see that statement about inclusive approaches be even stronger,” said Debra Bogar. Commenter John Hermanus questioned whether inclusiveness includes affordable housing and how the county would balance goals. “Example: Stricter zoning and building codes, sustainability and open space can increase costs to build desired housing. Density of zoning restrictions can increase costs for rental units.”

Allendale Elementary to close next year BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The final slide of the presentation said it all. “The decision of leadership staff is to consolidate the Allendale Elementary school community in the Spring of 2021.” And with that, the school’s 57-year run is coming to an abrupt end. Teachers, parents and Jefferson County Education Association members gave public comment to protest the closing of the school during the April 13 Jeffco School Board Study Session meeting. Joshua Kaus, father of two Allendale students, was one of those who spoke. He said he went to Allendale as a child and moved back into the house he grew up in, to give his children the same education he valued in his own upbringing. “When I heard about the talk of Allendale closing, just three weeks ago, it broke my heart,” he said. Other concerns commonly voiced — Allendale students have missed out on choice open enrollment window; staff have missed critical time in locating new positions and the District not adhering to processes for closing a school — something more than one speaker brought up. Indeed, there is a detailed policy in place for how the district is supposed to handle school closures. District document FCB-R, states that a report on a closure will be distributed six months prior to study and/

or action on any school closure — something not done in this case. When public comment closed, Susan Harmon, School Board President, talked about standards the district looks for in a school. “Our district vision calls on us to deliver engaging learning experiences for all students,” she said. “In order to do this, four conditions for learning must be in place and sustained over time. Those conditions are, a commitment to equity, high expectations, a professional model of teaching and educator learning.” Harmon said those conditions allow students equitable opportunities, access to high-level standards aligned to instruction, highly qualified teachers, and staff that are knowledgeable and prepared to deliver current and best practices in instruction. “The decrease in enrollment at Allendale over the past five years has limited our ability to deliver on these promises for the students and staff,” she said. Renee Nicothodes, Chief of Schools, Elementary, lead a presentation about the closing of the school that started by listing the challenges Allendale has faced. Enrollment, programming, staffing, funding and operational challenges have all played a role in the decision about its possible closure. In the last five years, Allendale has seen an overall decrease in enrollment of 45% with an annual average decline of 13%, Nicothodes said.

Current enrollment for this year is 117 students, of which 88 are attending in person. The neighborhood the school is located in has also seen a steep decline in elementary-aged children. To make things more difficult, 37% of Allendale students who are currently doing remote learning are planning to stay remote next year. Nicothodes said that could bring the number of students attending Allendale for in-person learning next year to under 100. School choice is also a big factor. Currently, 62% of students who live within Allendale’s boundaries choose to attend a different school. In fact, there are more students within the boundary that choice-out than students who attend the school. District staff say there are budgeting concerns too. Nicothodes said the District continues to remain focused on the student experience, but it’s hard to separate the budget conversation from the overall conversation around Allendale. “It is important to know how that (the budget) affects the student experience,” she said. Reduced academic and extracurricular offerings are two of the biggest issues the school faces. Nicothodes used a comparison of programs offered at Fremont and Campbell Elementary schools, both small, but with closer to 200 students, to programs that would be offered at Allendale in 2021-22 if it were to remain open. The difference was vast.

When it comes to staffing, Allendale is so limited that the Principal teaches math sections every day. An instructional coach teaches Kindergarten. There’s a first/second grade split class with one teacher, a fourth/ fifth split class with one teacher and a third-grade class with one teacher. Nicothodes said the District spent $675,000 in subsidies in the 2017-19 timespan to keep Allendale operational. With projected enrollment of 90-100 students for 2021-22, and the available funding, the budget would pay for 4-5 teachers and a principal, leaving as little as $50,000 to pay for all other positions and resources. Steve Bell, the District’s Chief Operating Officer, said low enrollment numbers impact efficiency levels, taking a toll on things like food and nutrition services, transportation and custodial services. Other financial hits are on the horizon as well, as Allendale is projected to transition out of Title 1 status. For the 2021-22 school year, the school’s Title 1 funding will be reduced by 50%. For the 2022-23 school year, Allendale will receive no Title 1 funds. The District has come up with ways of “softening the landing” for students who transition out of Allendale for the 2021-22 school year including the offer of guaranteed placement in neighboring Campbell or Fremont. A priority hiring pool has been created for staff members who will need to find a new place to work.

Meet the new Jeffco Public Schools superintendent Tracy Dorland takes charge of state’s second biggest district BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The position of superintendent for the Jeffco Public Schools district can be harrowing. It is a that invite public scrutiny of your every action. It is a position that is often a lightning rod for criticism from all sides — parents, teachers, the media and even from the very school board that chooses the person for the position. Tracy Dorland is grateful for the opportunity. Despite student attrition, a nearly billion-dollar, complicated capital improvement program and over a year of COVID disruption in schools, the newly Dorland selected district superintendent says she is ready to get started. “I grew up in Jeffco, I raised my family in Jeffco and it’s my home,” she said. “I didn’t apply anywhere else. I wanted to be a superintendent someday, but it was really more about finding a district where I could have the opportunity to make a difference and really dig in.”

Dorland said she knows it’s a difficult job that some people would run away from, but for her, Jeffco, which she called near and dear to her heart, fit the bill. “I have been passionate about public education since I was at CU Boulder as an undergrad and made the decision to become a teacher. I will always be passionate about public education,” she said. “One of the ways that I feel like I can give back in my life is to provide support and leadership for school districts.” Dorland said one of the things she knows to be important based on her previous job as deputy superintendent in the Adams 12 District is making sure that on the front end of really important work and decisions, that the right systems and structures are in place to collaborate and make sure people understand their voice can be heard. She said it’s important when clear decisions are made for people to understand why they were made, and in some cases, why something wasn’t able to be done. She describes herself as a collaborative leader who wants to bring voices to the table, while acknowledging it can be tough to get everyone on the same page for every decision. “But I do believe that if you can process the work in the right way, you can get to decisions that while people might not all agree, most people can accept and understand it.”

Another thing Dorland brings to the table that could help her hit the ground running is experience with a large bond project. “I worked establishing processes and procedures to manage the Adams 12 bond,” she said. “I’m so grateful to the Adams 12 community for approving that bond, and I’m so excited that I’m coming into a district where our community has approved a huge investment in capital for us. I can bring my experience from that work at Adams 12 to Jeffco, and I’m excited about that.” Dorland says most of her background is in instructional leadership. She says she was able to help improve literacy rates and contribute to the improvement of graduation rates. She said she has focused on priority-improvement Title 1 schools and getting them out of that priority-improvement status. There are also important conversations to be had around equity in the district, she said. As for learning loss or disruption due to COVID, Dorland says she’s interested in looking at the data. “I believe the pandemic has changed the way we educate kids and changed the way they’ve learned for the last year and a half” she said. “And I know that there are impacts from that. But I believe for us to make really meaningful decisions about how to support students as we emerge from the pandemic, we really need to be taking a close look at the data.”

She said looking at data from endof-year assessments for this year and beginning-of-year data from fall assessments will be a good start. She thinks district-level data will play a role. She also referenced an upcoming meeting about summer learning opportunities for students who need them. “My No. 1 priority is to be visible and get to know our schools,” Dorland said when asked about her first priority after officially starting on April 19. “That’s the bottom line. Just getting to know people and beginning to build relationships will be No. 1 for me.”

State limits indoor crowds as COVID dial expires Many counties choose to continue dial restrictions on their own BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado allowed its “dial” of coronavirus restrictions to expire as expected in mid-April, clearing the path for local public health agencies to decide what limits to enforce on businesses and other public settings. The stepping back of most

state-required limits came even as Coloradans found themselves in a fourth wave of COVID-19, with new cases and hospitalizations on the rise after months of decline. With increased vaccination rates, “the state’s role in continuing to mandate statewide restrictions is lessening, and the role of local communities to regulate and manage the virus is increasing,” the state public-health department said in an April 16 news release. The state’s color-coded COVID-19 dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based

on the local spread of the virus. The system affected capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Colorado originally implemented the dial last Sept. 15. With the statewide order behind the dial now expired, Colorado issued a new public health order that maintains some limits on large indoor gatherings. Meanwhile, most Denver metroarea counties announced plans to continue level-blue limits, which were the second-least restrictive stage of the dial system. Those counties include Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Jefferson, Boulder and Broomfield, according to the state’s news release. The decision for Adams and Arapahoe came when the TriCounty Health Department extended a modified version of the state’s dial system for one month. Tri-County Health covers those two counties and Douglas County, whose elected leaders voted to opt out of that extension during an April 13 meeting. Douglas was expected to no longer operate under any restrictions other than the new statewide order on large indoor gatherings. The county also remains under the statewide mask mandate. But if a county’s hospitalizations threaten to exceed 85% of hospital capacity, Colorado’s new public health order allows the

WHAT ARE COUNTIES DOING? According to the state public-health department, some counties that indicated that they would maintain level blue restrictions after mid-April include, among others, the following: • Adams • Arapahoe • Boulder • Broomfield • Denver • Jefferson • Larimer Clear Creek County will maintain a mask mandate and level blue restrictions until May 31. Counties that indicated that they would maintain level green restrictions, among others, include: • Gilpin Counties that indicated that they would not have local orders, among others, include: • Douglas • El Paso • Elbert • Weld The above lists are not exhaustive.

For county and state, clinics key tool in fight for vaccine equity in Jeffco Polis promises Jeffco will see more events like one that delivered 1,000 doses at Lakewood shopping center BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a member of the public health staff team working to ensure the distribution of vaccines is as equitable as possible in Jeffco, part of Marius Nielsen’s job is to hone in on the county communities where people are being vaccinated at lower rates. “We’re trying to see who is being left behind,” Nielsen said. “And then we work with organizations to say “in your community where’s the best location and how do we reach people and what is the best approach to distributing the vaccine here?” At this point in the vaccination effort, no Jeffco community has bee left behind more than the Sheridan Boulevard corridor in Lakewood, which Nielsen said has some of the lowest vaccination rates not only in Jeffco but nationwide. Nielsen said that statistic is the result of many challenges, including a large number of residents who lack health insurance and thus experience with the medical system. The area also has a high number of residents who don’t speak English. “There’s also lots of language barriers which come into play because a lot of the information that has been put out about the vaccine is going out in English,” said Nielsen. “And so what a lot of folks have access to is what they are seeing on social media, which creates hesitancy.” Few people know more about the reality of those challenges and what it takes to break through

For months, Weathers has been hoping to help organize an event that would literally break down those barriers by bringing vaccines directly into her community. On April 14, that vision became a reality as Weathers and Conectando collaborated with JCPH to hold a vaccine equity clinic in the Alameda Crossing Shopping Center that put 1,000 Pfizer shots in the arms of area residents who didn’t even have to get out of their cars. While the parking lot of a busy shopping center might seem a surprising place to give out vaccines, Weathers and Nielsen both said that choice of site was no accident. “This is the community,” Nielsen said. “This is where people live, work and play and we wanted to meet people where they are and make sure they can get vaccinated in a place where they are comfortable and with people they are comfortable with.” The location also made sense given the intention of the clinic to be highly targeted to reaching residents of the neighborhood. To do so, Weathers and other volunteers hit the pavement to talk to people at nearby businesses and get them signed up for the clinic. Conectando also reached out to the many area residents who have accessed services through its Community Navigators Warmline

to get as many of them as possible signed up. Among the 1,000 people to receive a shot was Josselin Medrano, who works at a new Mexican restaurant in the shopping center. Medrano said she signed up for the clinic after Weathers came in to tell the staff about the clinic. The restaurant’s owner, meanwhile, volunteered to donate burritos for the site’s volunteers, a move that Weathers said un-

derscores the communal nature of the clinic and the effort that supported it. Weathers, in turn, distributed goodie bags containing the cards of businesses that helped support the event to those that came to the clinic. “We were appreciative of the publicity that (the clinic) was going to give us and wanted to give back,” said Josselin through SEE VACCINE, P13

Weathers’ translation. As Weathers visited various businesses to sign people up for the clinic, she was struck by the number of people who expressed concerns not about the vaccine but how much it would cost them. “People don’t even know that it’s free,” she said. Governor promises more equity clinics in Jeffco The Alameda Crossing clinic is one of several that have taken place in Jeffco in recent days as both the state and county increase their focus on getting vaccines into harder-to-reach communities. Gov. Jared Polis said the state has so far partnered with local organizations such as Firefly Autism and the Queen of the Vietnamese Martyrs to put on nine equity clinics focusing on different communities in Jeffco as of April 15. Polis told Colorado Community Media that while the state is able to provide vaccines and help with logistics, the success of those clinics rests with the community partners that are involved. “It really takes a community partner that has the trust of the community and the ability to help communicate and organize people to get vaccinated,” said Polis. “That’s really what we look for and we’d love to partner with anybody through our equity partnership team to do that.”

Polis said Jeffco residents can expect to see even more equity clinics in the coming weeks, plus the county’s first visits from the state’s mobile vaccination units, a bus that can “pull up and provide up to 500 vaccines at a time.” That’s because the state is projecting vaccine supply will soon outstrip demand across the Denver metro area. “We’ll be there with supply exceeeding demand in the Jeffco region within two weeks,” he said on April 15. “And that mans it’s not so much that people don’t want the vaccine, they do, but

people are vaccine lazy or hesitant and we have to reach them where they are. They don’t want to do an online booking and they don’t want to look for it but if it’s available and easy for them in a setting they trust with community members they will go in to protect themselves.” But Polis said the state still has work to do to reach people in Jeffco’s non-English speakers. “Jeffco is a very diverse county and so there are a lot of folks that we are doing that cultural specific outreach to,” he said. The governor also said that he

is hopeful those ongoing efforts, and the inroads and connections with those communities that result, are serving as a catalyst for change that will endure after the pandemic ends. The increasing prominence of telemedicine is one example of how innovations resulting from the pandemic will save people money and increase convenience over the longterm. “I think we take the learning from the last year and we need to be able to utilize new ways of doing things that might work better and be more efficient,” he said.

Poetry matters in the human experience

“The act of absorbing art is an act of connection.” —Connie Zumpf, Colorado poet.

pril is National Poetry Month (please don’t stop reading at the word “poetry”). In fact, April 2021 marks the 25th anniversary ALCHEMY of this celebration of poets and poetry. Launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month reminds us that poetry matters. I know, I know … sometimes just the Andrea Doray thought of reading a line of poetry can be intimidating. For many of us, in our first exposure to poetry, we were directed to seek the “right” interpretation, the “right” meaning. The truth is, there is no “right.”

Interpretations are subjective, a collaboration between the poet and the reader. Educator, writer and artist Neil De la Flor puts it this way: “I love work that’s accessible. I also love work that I don’t understand but can ‘access’ through wonder and imagination.” Mark Doty, an accomplished and critically acclaimed poet and writer, describes the accessibility of poetry this way: “I invite those of you who are uncomfortable with sentences that don’t go all the way to the end of the page to substitute ‘literature’ for ‘poetry’ when you hear it.” Literature makes other people more real to us, Mark says. He quotes contemporary American poet Elizabeth Alexander, speaking as a teacher to her students in one of her poems: “ ‘Poetry,’ I tell them, ‘is the human voice, and we of interest to each other, are we not?’ ” Yes, Elizabeth … we are. And during these rough times –

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Take action now on climate I’m a mom and, like every Coloradan parent, my number one issue of concern is my kids. I want to give them the world. I want them to have opportunities, find a good job, be healthy, enjoy the wonder of our Colorado outdoors and most importantly, be happy. Unfortunately, unless we turn this ship around, the world we leave them will literally be on fire risking all that I want for them. The climate crisis is no longer an abstract notion of something that might happen someday. It is here. In 2020 we suffered 3 of the 4 largest wildfires in Colorado history. Just last week the Director of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control stated that we’re now having fire years, not seasons. Add that to potential worsening droughts, floods, increased insectborne disease and heatwaves, and the picture of our children’s future looks quite grim. Parents work tirelessly to set their kids up for success. What we don’t do is leave disasters for them to clean up. It’s not their mess. It’s ours and it’s our job to clean it up. The state legislature is in session now and I hope they are going to do something about the climate crisis. Something real. So far the actions the state has taken are not enough. We are not on track to meet our statutorily mandated goals for carbon emissions reduction. I hope this year is different and we make real progress. Paige Singer, Arvada

pandemic, political turmoil, violence – poetry is a beacon, a call to action, a comfort, a connection that shares the human experience. Mike Henry, executive director of Lighthouse Writers Workshop, Denver and the West’s premiere literary center, tells me that workshops are busier than ever, online and virtually. “Folks are turning to writing and other creative endeavors to help deal with the pandemic and its isolation,” he says. My friend and fellow Lighthouser, Connie Zumpf, agrees. Connie’s poem, “The Summer After the Summer of 2020,” was recently published on “Global Poemic, Kindred Voices in the Era of Covid-19.” I asked Connie about her motivation and inspiration for lines such as these: “Oh, how a body craves the spark from a body in the flesh / sharing breath from everyone’s words …” She replied with two words: Zoom fatigue!

“In our circles of families and friends, conversation is physical, right? We live in bodies designed to see and need presence in the flesh,” Connie says. “Art reminds us that we are not alone in our loss, despair or rage .Art that communicates hope reminds us that these, too, are part of the human experience.” If ever we’ve needed to be connected, to share in this human experience, it is now. And, as a poet myself, I celebrate National Poetry Month firm in the belief that poetry matters, that our interpretations of the human voice – as expressed in the lines and words of poetry – can be accessed by those of us who seek to share the human experience. Andrea Doray is a writer who agrees with Archibald MacLeish, from his “Ars Poetica” (“the art of poetry”), published in 1926: “A poem should not mean / But be.” Write to Andrea at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

A participation trophy for my generation

e have failed. I say this to my generation. We have failed in this: is it not the unspoken (or HITTING spoken) desire of HOME every generation of Americans (at least since the industrial revolution) to make the lives of their children better than the lives we had? Isn’t that, as parents, educaMichael Alcorn tors, public policy citizens, what we’re supposed to do? And, in any way, have we come close to achieving that? I know — I like to make fun of millennials as much as anybody. But, seriously, they didn’t do this to themselves: they’re not the ones who insisted on not keeping score, they’re not the ones who provided orange slices at halftime, and they’re not the ones who gave trophies even to kids who never showed up at practice. But, those aren’t really the bigger problems they face. There is a certain softness and lack of resilience that we bred into them with all of those small offences, but then we turned them loose into a world that requires more resilience and mental fortitude

than we ever did. We have created a world in which my daughter, going out apartment hunting last week, has to attempt to build a personal budget around rent which is almost three times as much as my first mortgage. And, I get it — I’m old, and inflation does its thing. But if her salary right now is twice what mine was at age 25, and her housing costs are thrice what mine were, then how far behind is she falling every month? So, what kind of an apartment can she find on that budget? Not bad, really. It’s a decent upgrade in quality and space from where she’s lived before, and the neighborhood is significantly better, so we’re quite happy about that. She’ll share the cost with a roommate — like I did with my wife — so there’s also that opportunity to learn the all-important life skill of living with another human. So, it’s all a part of what was supposed to happen at this point in life for her. But renting is throwing money away — the trick is owning, right? The problem with that is that rent is so high that no millennial can set aside the money necessary to accumulate that all-important down payment. Sure, there are down payment assistance programs and the like, but those require credit, and the process

of building credit is not quite as simple as you’d like it to be. And then there’s the issue of college debt. The College Board estimates that the average cost of a year of schooling at a four-year public university in 2019-20 was roughly $22,000 — that is almost the exact amount of money I had between scholarships and savings to get me through *four* years in Boulder, and I accumulated so little debt as to not be worth mentioning. The average college graduate these days has almost $30,000 in debt. So, here’s your carousel: assuming you survive school shootings, the opioid epidemic, and awful teenage suicide statistics, we absolutely expect you to go to college, where you will accumulate enormous debt getting a degree that 40% of the time is useless (only 60% of U.S. jobs require degrees, and that’s a dubious number), then go out into the world to live in a rat den that costs most of your salary, whereupon we will add your student loan payments at the least opportune moment, and place you in a world where your only social contact is in your phone. And then we will point you towards a house that you can’t possibly afford and expect you to feel pretty good about your

Time to start thinking about running for political office Editor’s Note: This is part one of a two-part column on how and why to run for local office.

f you read a lot of media in this state, the overwhelming theme about the Colorado Repub- GUEST lican Party is that COLUMN it is either dead Joe Webb or on life support. That is because of a long series of disappointing electoral losses. While it is true there have been losses, I have been given the advice more than a few times that the best time to start a business is during a recession. Applying this to the political world, the best time to run for office as a Republican is when your party is on the ropes. Jefferson County will choose seven elected officials in the November 2022 election. They are assessor, clerk & recorder, commissioner in District 3, coroner, sheriff, surveyor and treasurer. The redistricting commission

selected through Amendments Y and Z will always be redrawing the boundaries for districts in both houses of the legislature and congressional districts. Colorado will be getting an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives due to our population growth. The work of the redistricting commission will be complete this fall, and the boundaries of those districts will become public knowledge. Until then, any such conversation about them will be speculative. What I wish to do both this month and next month is describe the process of candidacy from the seed of an idea to successful election. I am doing this because I like the idea of walk-ons to a team actually winning a starting position. If you are an ordinary citizen, with a little luck, but mostly hard work and determination, you too can win political office and serve our county and state with the

aim of making it a better place to live. The term “establishment” is unnecessarily thrown around to suggest that the political process on the Republican side is filled with people who will thwart you at every turn if you have political ambitions. That isn’t the case. The much vaunted “establishment” is just a name tossed about to label others with whom the name caller disagrees. You would think as a former party chair that I am “establishment,” but I assure you I am not. Finally, if you have ambitions of running for office, the time to at least think about it is now. If you wish to think about running, two questions need to be asked. What am I qualified to do and what do I wish to accomplish in office? I myself have never worked in law enforcement or surveying, therefore I would be unqualified to run for the position of sheriff or surveyor. If you wish to make a statement about the national debt, a run for Congress or U.S. senator would be a more appropriate office to seek rather than a county office.

Figure out where you would best serve and then begin the process of exploring a candidacy. In the beginning, before you decide to run, you ought to survey the field and figure out what will happen. Who else may be contemplating a run for the office you seek? Does the office you seek have an incumbent? What could be a good campaign strategy? These are questions you should ask either the Jeffco GOP chair or the Jeffco Democratic chair. Introducing yourself to the local party chair is a good starting point for information. You should also ask yourself a question: What is the worst thing that anyone can say about you? Negative campaigning is a reality. You ought to have a hard look at what could be placed about you in the media. Next month, I will speak about fundraising, and what should be done to succeed in both the primary and general election.

Skiers bid the slopes adieu as Echo Mountain caps off longest season ever BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The last day of the skiing season is perhaps a little like the last day of school. Some are more than ready for summer, while others are reluctant to say goodbye. Either way, skiers and snowboarders were eager to get in as many runs as possible Sunday morning during Echo Mountain Resort’s final day. Between the fresh powder, blue skies and occasional sun peeking out of the clouds, skier Kirk Moyer remarked: “We couldn’t ask for a better last day.” Echo Mountain, which sits along Highway 103 between Evergreen and Idaho Springs, typically closes in March, but last month’s snowstorms helped extend the season. Despite the recent snowfall, the resort wasn’t able to keep its runs open any later because staff members were moving onto other jobs, General Manager Fred Klaas said. However, the resort plans to continue tubing operations on the weekends through May 2. Given the weather and the pandemic, the 2020-21 season was both challenging and incredible, he stated. In the fall, Echo Mountain wasn’t sure whether it would be able to open because of COVID-19 restrictions, Klaas described. Fast forward to mid-April, and the resort is capping off its longest season ever. “We’re a young resort; we’re trying to figure out what operations can look like,” he said of staying open later in the season. Kirk and Kim Moyer, who recently moved to Clear Creek’s Echo Hills neighborhood, said they appreciated that the resort was able to extend its season. The two visited Echo Mountain about a dozen times this year, and Kim said it was a good spot to learn to ski. She appreciated the variety of visitors’ experience levels and the friendly atmosphere. Kirk said the two of them will be back next season. “It feels like a little gem to have this mountain,” he continued. SEE ECHO, P17

New Thornton Arts exhibit unites range of cultures COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

udiences aren’t the only ones missing cultural events like art shows during the pandemic shutdown the creatives have also been missing the opportunities to have their work seen and connected by viewers. Which is one of the reasons the Thornton Arts and Culture’s newest exhibit, Nations United: Bringing Communities Together, is so thrilling. The exhibit - presented by Thornton Arts, the Denver American Indian Festival, the Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC) and the Metropolitan State University of Denver Chicana/o Studies Department - features American

Indian and Latinx works. “This is our first live show in a long time, and we’re so excited about it,” said Brenda Garule, executive director of CHAC. “It’s been difficult deciding to terminate so many of our shows, especially with no income coming for many of our artists. We’re so happy to have this chance to showcase our artists at Thornton.” The in-person exhibit is hosted at the OZ Gallery, 9209 Dorothy Blvd., and runs through Friday, June 25. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Walk-ins are welcome with a maximum of 10 people in the gallery at one time, or guests can secure a timed

entry ticket. CHAC, located in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District and committed to supporting the creativity and history of Chicanx and Latinx people, has been coordinating with the other organizations on the art for the exhibit. Pulling from such an assortment of artists, including Metro students and senior citizens, means that the works on display are as nuanced and varied as the people themselves. “This is one of the most diverse exhibitions we’ve had, and it all started through a connection with the Denver American InSEE READER, P17

Evergreen’s Condojani family was likewise enjoying the final day of the season, with dad Marc saying, “It’s beautiful — a perfect snow day.” Because of the pandemic, Marc said the only time he really leaves the house is to buy groceries. The big exception has been this season’s 15 or so trips to Echo Mountain, which he said is a great outlet and a safe way to be outdoors. Even though the family plans to start mountain-biking soon, Jordan Condojani said Sunday was about getting in as many runs as possible. While the Condojanis and others were finishing their ski season, Boulder’s Gen Golsch and Elliot Robles were just getting started.

The two had been wanting to ski all season, but hectic schedules prevented them from going earlier. When they saw it was Echo Mountain’s last day, they decided to make time. “I haven’t been skiing since I was 12,” Golsch said. “ … It’s really freeing.” The two appreciated the resort’s proximity to the Denver area and its affordability, and plan to return next season. Denver’s Katy Irani and her 2-year-old son Zane Lambert were also visiting Echo Mountain for the first time Sunday. Irani said she heard good things about the resort’s beginner area and wanted to bring Zane so he could experience outdoor skiing after attending an indoor class. While she hadn’t gotten to ski much this season either, Irani said of Echo Mountain: “It’s got good energy. … We will be back.”

dian Festival, which has been held in Thornton for years,” said Alisa Zimmerman, Thornton Arts and Culture manager. “It’s a real feast for the eyes, with vibrant colors and subject matters. The mediums include everything from metal sculpture and oil to mannequins dressed in traditional clothing.” According to Garule, about 25 artists are participating in the show. Not only does this highlight the wide range of talent in these communities but provides a much-needed creative outlet during what has been an extremely trying time. And that outlet will hopefully educate and inspire others. “We hope this exhibit provides more exposure for these artists in our community, and we’re happy that Thronton is the place where all these different groups can show their work together,” Zimmerman added. “A show like this shows the richness of cultures in our community, and we hope it piques their interest in seeing more.” Details and tickets can be secured at ArtsThornton.Eventbrite.com.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Ratboys from Schuba’s Tavern Chicago’s Ratboys certainly aren’t going to win any awards for their name choice, but their blend of emo, alt-country and indie rock makes for a bewitching brew that is only getting stronger with each release. Their most recent album, 2020’s “Printer’s Devil,” had the misfortune of being released right as COVID-19 started shutting things down. So, you should look it up if you’re one of those who missed it it’s one of the year’s best. In celebration of a decade as a group, Ratboys will be hosting a live stream performance and retrospective film from Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago. The event begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, and will feature the band performing songs from across their discography and telling stories about their time together.

Show is stuff of ‘Myths and Legends’ BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Time is running out fast before the April 24 conclusion of “Myths and Legends,” the 2021 Eye of the Camera photography exhibit (by reservation) at the Littleton Museum, and we hope some will have already visited it. In the 55th year, the exhibit, presented by the Littleton Fine Arts Board, includes 42 works by 24 artists in both color and black and white. This year’s juror was John Barnabas Lake, from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Lake is the photo area coordinator at the UNC School of Art and Design and College of Visual and Performing Arts at UNC. The 2021 exhibit, smaller than usual, but strong, offers especially nice statements about each piece — allow a bit of extra time to read these. Many are strongly poetical! Lake chose as Best of Show “Outside Woman,” a collaboration by conceptual artist Sherry Wiggins and photographer Luis Felipe Branco, that made me think of La Llorona, a woman of Latin American legend, who searches for her drowned children. Dressed in white, she wanders and cries for them ... This large black and white print has a ghostly woman in a gauzy white dress peering

Cox wrote that her friends felt uncomfortable there — convinced it’s a “Wrinkle in Time” vortex or a portal to another dimension ... As one enters the gallery to the right, Thomas Carr’s “Decay #2 and “Decay #3” also convey mystery from a long-ago era. Carr is an archaeologist, whose images of ancient stone walls reflect layers of “decay and rebirth all around ...” Next, a visitor finds photographs made by well-known Denver painter Tony Ortega, depicting legends from his world: “Dia @ Santa Maria,” shows a happy parade with townspeople carrying a colorful, flower-laden statue of Mary through a town, and “Day of

the Dead Danzante Muerta” with a figure with skull face ... in sepia with touches of red and yellow. One can almost hear music from behind these figures. “A gentleman came from nowhere and stood at the cliff — in the right place at the right time,” says Danny Lam of his “Grand View,” which won an Honorable Mention. Second Place went to Kathryn Charles, who grew up in Littleton. Her “Between Me and the Sea” depicts “the rough sea of the lower Hebrides” captured in 2020. “Crow,” by Nicholas Kremsky, is labeled “altered photo.” The large portrait shot carries the note that “The crow is known as the messenger in myths. They also carry the souls of the dead ...” Elizabeth Kayl’s “When Midnight Calls” relates, she wrote, “to the story of seven birds who sing at night. It harks back over centuries and over multiple cultures. The song of these night birds forecasts calamity ... in ancient France they are the spirits of souls in torment ...” At the rear of the gallery, one finds Justin Key’s large horizontal images of Great Sand Dunes National Park — a magical place where he says “every step produces a new alignment.”

“Hovering,” a digital painting by Littleton Fine Arts Guild member Jacqueline Schuler, is exhibited in a “Member Appreciation Show” at the Depot Art Gallery in Littleton. COURTESY PHOTO

Wheat Ridge Parks and Rec seeks reaccreditation STAFF REPORT

The Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department is pursuing reaccreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). CAPRA is part of the National Park and Recreation Association (NRPA), is the only national accreditation of park and recreation agencies, and is a valuable measure of an agency’s overall quality of operation, management, and service to the community. Achieving CAPRA accreditation is the best way to demonstrate that an agency and

its staff provide the community with the highest level of service. The Department was initially accredited in 2016, and the reaccreditation review occurs every five years. There are currently only 183 accredited park and recreation agencies in the United States, with only 10 accredited agencies in Colorado. For more information about CAPRA Due to COVID-19, the department will undergo a virtual sitebased visit and review by CAPRA during this week. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, reviews were always done onsite and in-

person, however, this year that review will occur virtually by a team of CAPRA assessors who will evaluate the Department’s practices, policies, procedures, programs, facilities, parks, trails, and overall management. Achieving reaccreditation through CAPRA requires an agency to meet 100% of the 36 fundamental standards and 95% (112) of the 118 non-fundamental standards. Those standards fall into categories like “Agency Authority, Role, Responsibility,” “Financial Management,” and “Programs and Services Management.”

As a part of the virtual assessment, the CAPRA review team will assess department documents and records, interview staff members and Parks and Recreation Commissioners, and evaluate policies, procedures, and processes. The accreditation manager overseeing the review for the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department is Brandon Altenburg. The benefits of accreditation include demonstrating that the agency meets national best practice standards, and can help in securing loan and grant funding.

More parking planned at Alderfer/3 Sisters BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Additional parking is planned for Alderfer/3 Sisters Park in the next two years to alleviate some of the parking woes at the popular recreation area. n Jefferson County Open Space, which owns the property, is planning to increase parking in the lots at the two entrances on Buffalo Park Road to 150, doubling the current number of available spaces. Couple that with 39 spaces available at Wilmot Elementary School when school is not in session and potentially keeping 46 spots available along Buffalo Park Road, and the park would come much closer to

that the county would need to cut $12.5 million from its budget for 2021 to comply with a TABOR rule limiting how much property tax revenue the county can collect each year. Complying with that rule creates particular challenges for the county when it comes to the fairgrounds because any revenue generated there counts against the overall TABOR cap on the amount of revenue the county is able to collect. That meant that plans to simply increase the amount of revenue generated by the fairgrounds would only force the county to not collect or reimburse tax revenue, not fixing the budget problem, Davis repeatedly said. Ultimately, the commissioners voted to approve the plan directing county staff to maintain the aspects of the fairgrounds facility and its operations that are most instrumental to preserving the agricultural, equine and youth activities that take place there, while putting an end to operations that do not support that purpose. One year later, the county has managed to successfully do just that, Davis said. However, he also said that means the fairgrounds will have to offer much more lim-

accommodating the high volume of people coming to the park, officials said. Jeffco Open Space hosted a virtual community meeting on April 14 attended by about 65 people to discuss its plans for improving the 1,123acre park that has 16 miles of hiking trails. The west parking lot is expected to be redesigned this year with construction in 2022, and the east parking lot would be designed in 2022 with construction in 2023. JCOS is planning to move the west entrance from LeMasters Road to Buffalo Park Road and create a 115-space parking lot east of the current lot, which will be returned to a meadow. This will put the parking

lot closer to the planned restrooms and prevent people from parking along LeMasters, officials said. The east entrance parking lot will double in size, though planners are now sure what that will look like. Both lots will get more and better signage, especially no-parking signs on LeMasters and Buffalo Park Road, they said. Audience questions focused on park overuse, parking problems on both sides of Buffalo Park Road and maintaining the habitat. They wanted park usage to be more manageable. Open Space officials said they can’t limit access to the park, and they can’t charge patrons because that would be difficult to enforce.

JCOS will pilot a reservation system at other parks next year and if it is successful, it will determine whether it could be used at other locations. One attendee suggested allowing people with even numbered license plates at the park on even numbered days and odd-numbered plates on odd numbered days. “We have to look at the totality of doing something like that and if we have enough staff,” JCOS Visitor Services Manager Mary Ann Bonnell responded, “or if it would generate a lot of complaints that we are not enforcing a rule like that.” Steve Germaine, JCOS’ natural resources supervisor, said workers completed a comprehensive look at plants and found 337 native spe-

ited programming than it has in the past without much possibility of adding new programs. Given the limitations of that level of “sustainability,” Stavig and the other members of the Youth, Equine and Agriculture activities board told the commissioners on April 14 that the county needs to consider taking steps to allow the fairgrounds to increase its budget without impacting that TABOR cap. To that end, members of the board told the commissioners during an April 14 presentation that they have begun researching different possibilities to accomplish that. During the meeting, several possibilities were presented, including creating a special district to provide services at the fairgrounds that would not be subject to the same TABOR restrictions as the county is or turning the fairgrounds over to a nonprofit that would operate the fairgrounds. Other possibilities include turning the fairgrounds over to Jefferson County Open Space, reducing costs by cutting back on landscaping and energy use, or creating advertising and sponsorship opportunities at the fairgrounds for businesses that would generate more revenue. However, members of the board acknowledged that many of those possibilities would present challenges of their own. For example,

JCOS’ charter limits what the properties it manages can be used for, which would likely preclude it from taking over the entire fairgrounds. That’s why Stavig said the best solution might be to go back to the voters with a ballot measure that would remove the TABOR cap on county revenue collection. In 2019, 54% of Jeffco voters voted against 1A, a ballot measure that would have done just that. “I think going back to the voters and saying let us keep all the revenue at the fairgrounds is probably the strongest and best thing we can do,” Stavig said, “because then it opens us up, and we can start looking at revenue generation and that kind of thing.”

While the board said all of the possibilities mentioned will likely require more research and consideration, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said they represented “a good list of ideas as we look forward.” However, she also warned that the situation at the fairgrounds is a likely harbinger of things to come for the county as it continues to navigate how to operate under TABOR’s limitations. “I think the stranglehold you talked about and that your board is working through could be the story of other departments throughout the county,” she said. “Those are issues that we will be looking at across the board in future years.”

Immigrant group’s cookbook seeks to bridge differences ‘Together at the Table’ celebrates global value of good meals with good friends BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The tastes of dozens of countries are collected in “Together at the Table,” a new cookbook from Littleton nonprofit Immigrant Pathways Colorado (IPC). With recipes like hummus from Lebanon, mojitos from Peru, stew from Ethiopia and egg rolls from Vietnam, IPC board members say they hope the cookbook conveys the diverse backgrounds represented in America — but also commonalities. “It reflects that common element we all share: sitting down to share a meal with family and friends,” said IPC board member Connie Shoemaker at an April 13 book launch event. “The table is a place of memory, where we become aware of who and what we are. That’s bound up in the food we eat — it’s a way of preserving past and heritage.” Proceeds from the cookbook go to IPC’s One-Immigrant-At-A-Time program, which provides selfdevelopment grants to immigrants, refugees and asylees who are in the country legally and live below the poverty line. Grants can be used for activities like English classes,

applying for citizenship, green card renewal and seeking professional training. Proceeds will also go toward scholarships to attend Arapahoe Community College. The cookbook includes 171 recipes from 66 contributors from 43 countries on nearly every continent. Included in the book are eight dividers printed with the stories of immigrants and their descendants, who share how food is woven into their cultural heritage. Among those is Nisren Hussein, whose family’s experience inspired the creation of the IPC. Hussein and her husband Raad are Kurds, a long-persecuted ethnic minority in Iraq. Growing up, Hussein’s family of nine had little access to fruit, fresh vegetables and meat as a result of war and economic sanctions. Hussein recalled her mother spending hours every day making flatbread to sell, often leaving her hands cracked and broken, aching to the point that Hussein had to lift the oven cover for her mother. Hussein later married Raad and had two children, but was forced to flee Iraq after anti-coalition forces discovered Raad was working as an interpreter for American troops. Army Col. Joe Rice, a Littleton resident, arranged for the Husseins to come to his hometown, and tasked IPC founder Susan Thornton and friends with setting the family up with a place to stay, jobs, and money to get on their feet. The experience inspired Thornton

and others to create IPC after realizing that small grants could make a world of difference to immigrants in need as they sought to become Americans. For Hussein, who contributed a recipe for Iraqi-style stuffed grape leaves to the cookbook, settling in Littleton was a blessing. “The air smelled beautiful when we walked out the door our first morning in Colorado,” she recalled in her segment in the cookbook. “It

was like breathing life.” Shoemaker said she hopes the cookbook furthers IPC’s goals: “To bridge the gaps between cultures through education, sharing stories and learning about one another.” “Together at the Table” is available at all Tattered Cover locations, including Aspen Grove. It can also be ordered through IPC’s website at ConnectingImmigrants. org/cookbook. IPC asks for a $20 donation.

A new moment for Golden’s old mill The Golden Mill food hall opens for business BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With its large, inviting public spaces, varied food selection that feels tailor made for groups with diverse tastes and massive self-serve beer walls, the Golden Mill seems to largely be about everything the past 13 months have not. Which is perhaps why the opening of the long-awaited food hall and sipping spot couldn’t have come at a better time as an increasling number of newly-vaccinated Goldenites start to think about enjoying the types of leisurely lunches and group hangouts that that so many have avoided during the pandemic. The Mill, which combines the food hall concept that has become increasingly ubiquitous around Denver boasts an upstairs patio and downstairs plaza that offer “only-in Golden” views of Clear Creek and Castle Rock. But while the whole place seems made for summertime, when those sitting upstairs will be treated to views of the tubers floating by below, partner Mark Shaker said its already been drawing interest from Goldenites eager to step inside the space they have been watching take shape for the past several months. “It’s basically been people walking by and word of mouth as we make sure everything’s good to go,” said Shaker, of how the first few

days have gone since the hall quietly opened its doors at the start of the month. “But it’s been pretty busy, we had a really busy weekend, and reaction has been pretty favorable.” Sushi, history and plenty of beer So what should fun-seeking Goldenites know about their cities new hot spot? The first thing is that you might not even recognize the place as the old Golden Mill feed store if not for the presence of the familiar blue painted sign on the outside. That’s because the exterior of the building has been painted black and now features a large glass stairway structure that is meant to mimic the old mill race (the water wheel that powered the original mill). Inside there other nods to the history of the redone space, includes several photographs showing the various iterations of the building from its past. Anyone coming to The Golden Mill should also plan to come both hungry and thirsty as the space includes five vendors serving everything from Korean fried chicken sandwiches to tacos

Golden Mill partner Mark Shaker stands inside the downstairs portion of the food hall, where Rolling PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO Smoke BBQ, Republik of Chiken, Tacos Al Chile and Happy Cones are located.

to New Zealand-style ice cream. Three of those vendor spots are the brainchild of Denver chef Jesus Silva, who perhaps best known for his sushi restaurants. His latest sushi spot is Sushi Sora, which is upstairs at Golden Mill and produces plates he says should be as beautiful to look at as they are to eat. “Sushi is food for your eye’s first and then your mouth,” said Silva of his approach. Another thing to know, particularly if you are still a little leery about venturing out to a food hall, is that the Golden Mill is considerably more high tech than your typical food court. That’s because the whole

hall runs on a system of cards that allow for contactless payments at both the food vendors and the drink wall, where customers can fill up a glass with as much or little of each of the beers, wines and cocktails as they want. Such a system has several advantages, Shaker said, including allowing drinkers to try several drinks before choosing one and allowing the mill to save on labor costs which can be passed on to the customer. “Also, what’s really worked out well is it becomes a communal hub where you want to talk to your neighbors about what you like instead of a bartender that is giving a really complex explanation

of what each drink is,” he said. “So it becomes a social sort of component.” But while Shaker and the Mill’s other partners are excited to share their creation with everyone who comes through the doors, they say there is one visitor they are particularly eager to welcome. That’s John Boyle, who owned the Golden Mill feed store since 2003 and worked there since 1978. “We are really excited to have him come back from Florida and be our guest,” said Susan Ganter, another partner in the Mill, of Boyle who already blessed the concept for the hall in what Ganter called “something really meaningful.”

space, the setting may operate at 100% capacity or up to 500 people, with 6 feet required between parties of unvaccinated people or when vaccination status is unknown. The order took effect April 16. “Public indoor space” means any enclosed indoor area that is publicly or privately owned, managed, or operated that is accessible to the public, serves as a

place of employment, or provides services. The term does not include a person’s residence, including a room in a hotel or a residential room for students at an educational facility. Under the order, existing “variances” — or exceptions — remain in effect, including 5-Star approvals granted by a county. That’s a reference to Colorado’s 5-Star State Certification Program, which has allowed businesses to operate with expanded capacity if they follow stepped-up COVID-19 safety protocols.

Venues may apply to their local public health agency for a variance to exceed 500 people, which needs to be finally approved by the state public-health department. Settings that aren’t affected The order’s requirements do not apply to the following settings: • Places of worship and associated ceremonies. • Retail services. • Restaurants that run sit-down dining and do not have unseated areas where 100 or more people could gather, such as dance floors or common gathering areas. School proms and graduations that wish to exceed the thresholds are subject to approval by local public health agencies in accordance with the state’s prom and graduation guidance. Stricter previous rules may still apply If a county continues blue restrictions, then those morerestrictive standards still apply. For a county staying in level blue, the standard wouldn’t change if an event exceeds 100 people — it would still be limited to 50% capacity, not to exceed 175 people, per room, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department. Under level blue restrictions, if the event was a seated event, it could run at 100% capacity with a minimum of 6 feet between groups of up to 10 individuals indoors per room, excluding staff. That’s according to how the

limits were written in the April 4 update to the state dial order. Under the 5-Star program, certified businesses in level blue could operate indoor events at 50% capacity, not to exceed 500 people, according to the April 4 order. Other state restrictions still in place Under the new health order, the state public-health department may require counties whose resident hospitalizations threaten to exceed 85% of hospital or hospital system capacity to implement additional restrictions. The statewide mask order also remains in effect. In counties with one-week incidence rates — rates of new cases — above 35 per 100,000 people, masks are required to be worn by individuals 11 and older in public indoor spaces where 10 or more unvaccinated individuals or “individuals of unknown vaccination status” are present. That’s according to the text of the April 3 extension of the mask order. That range for new-case rates corresponded to counties in levels blue, yellow, orange, red and purple under the state’s dial framework. The list of settings where masks are required in counties with new-case rates of 35 or fewer per 100,000 people — rates that corresponded to level green — now only includes preschool through grade 12 schools, child care centers, health care settings, prisons and jails, and some other facilities.

Lakewood’s boys soccer team poses with the Class 5A Jeffco League plaque after the Tigers’ 1-0 overtime victory against Bear Creek on April 16 at Trailblazer Stadium. The PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS last time Lakewood won a conference title in boys soccer was in 1995.

Lakewood stakes claim to first Jeffco League title since 1995 BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood’s boys soccer team made history in dramatic fashion Friday, April 16, at Trailblazer Stadium. The unranked Tigers wrapped up their first boys soccer Jeffco League championship since 1995 with a 1-0 overtime victory against Bear Creek. “It feels good, but it’s making me old,” Lakewood coach Tom Noor said after the nerve-wracking victory in the Tigers’ conference finale. “I’m glad we won with this crazy snow schedule. I’m glad Daniel got the goal after shanking the shot right before the goal.”

Lakewood senior Daniel Juarez scored the game-winning goal with 35 seconds remaining the first overtime period. Juarez had kicked a volley over the net seconds before that gave Bear Creek a goal kick. The Tigers were able to quickly control the goal kick and give the senior striker another chance at glory. “I saw Jimmy pass it to Ko, and then Ko passed to me,” Juarez said of the game-winning goal. “I just took the shot and then everything froze. I realized we won.” Senior Jimmy Almaraz, who had a great scoring chance earlier in overtime but his shot sailed just wide left, controlled the goal kick. Almaraz passed the ball up to

senior Ko Harmes, who took a pair of defenders before feeding a pass to Juarez. “I was hoping that we didn’t make any mistakes in the back and give up something silly, especially in overtime,” Noor said. “We had to step up and take care of it. We knew a tie wouldn’t do it. We kept pressing and pressing.” Lakewood (6-2-2, 6-1-1 in Class 5A Jeffco) hasn’t been ranked all season in the CHSAANow.com 5A boys soccer poll that is voted on by coaches. However, the Tigers hoisted the 5A Jeffco League plaque and secured a spot in the 16-team 5A state tournament that is slated to begin with first-round games Wednesday or Thursday

this week. The Tigers couldn’t settle for a tie either against Bear Creek. Valor Christian (8-1-1, 6-1-1) would have won the conference title if Lakewood lost or tied against the Bears (4-6, 4-4). A 1-0 victory over Valor on March 25 gave the important tie-breaker over the Eagles to give the Tigers the league title. If Lakewood would have tied or lost Friday night, the Tigers might have fallen all the way down to third in the league standings behind Valor and Arvada West (6-1-2, 4-1-2) and likely out the postseason. “That’s awesome,” Noor said of the Tigers winning it’s first SEE LAKEWOOD, P29

Standley Lake boys soccer ends 3-decade long drought by winning league crown BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It has been a long time coming for Standley Lake’s boys soccer program. The Gators — No. 10 in the latest CHSAANow.com Class 4A boys soccer rankings — hadn’t won a conference title since 1990. That ended Tuesday, April 13, at Lakewood

Memorial Field. “I kind of had a feeling,” Standley Lake coach John Cole said of the Gators’ run to history. “Those guys are the hardest working men in show business right now. I’ve been fortunate to line them up and push them out.” Standley Lake (8-2, 7-1 in 4A Jeffco League) wrapped up the elusive conference title with a 1-0 victory

over D’Evelyn. Standley Lake senior Kellan Bundgaard put in the eventual game-winning goal in the 45th minute. “There is no winning without believing,” Bundgaard said. “I think every single person on this team contributed. Everyone wanted this.” The Gators had one conference game remaining against Alameda International, but there is no pos-

sible scenario where Golden or Evergreen could catch Standley Lake after the win April 13. “It feels amazing. Everyone on this team feels like my best friend,” Standley Lake senior goalie David Crosbey said moments after the Gators were handed the league championship plaque. “This isn’t just a SEE GATORS, P39

boys soccer conference crown in 26 years. “It’s great and hopefully we can build some momentum off this. We aren’t done.” Lakewood and Valor will receive automatic bids into the state field finishing in the top-2 in 5A Jeffco. There are only four at-large bids that will be awarded by a committee using a seeding formula that includes the CHSAANow.com coaches’ poll, MaxPreps rankings and RPI. Lakewood won’t have to worry about any mathematical formulas with its conference title being the Tigers’ ticket to the postseason. “It wasn’t just my goal,” Juarez said of the biggest goal in more than two decades for the Tigers’ boys soccer program. “Everyone has been working throughout the season. Everyone played a part. It means a lot, especially for the seniors. Doing something before we leave.”

Bear Creek sophomore Andrew Montoya, left, and Lakewood senior Daniel Juarez (7) battle for a header April 16 at Trailblazer Stadium. Juarez’s overtime goal clinched the Class 5A Jeffco League title for the Tigers. PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Evergreen boys soccer buries Lobo rivals in snowy battle BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hard to say if the home turf gave the Evergreen boys soccer team much of an advantage in the 7-0 win against Conifer on April 15. There wasn’t much turf to be seen, since inches of snow piled up quickly throughout the course of the game. While mere snow flurries postponed soccer games down the hill, the mountain kids of the Evergreen/Conifer area played on amid a snowstorm that would end up shutting down several area highways by the end of the night. It was the first athletic event held at Evergreen High School under the newly installed stadium lights, not that the heavily-falling snow made visibility very easy. Facility members struggled during timeouts and halftime to clear off the out-ofbounds and midfield lines, even as the players struggled to keep their footing in the swiftly accumulating white stuff. The Cougars also swiftly accumulated goals. Senior Cody Couch led the blizzard of offense with two goals and an assist. Gavin Stevens, Evan Brown, Blaine Watkins and Kimball Boyle also scored a goal apiece for the Cougars. Junior Landon Freeman scored a goal and had an assist. Senior Cully Freeman also contributed with an assist. Evergreen senior goalkeeper Logan Freer played the duration of the game and earned the shutout win

Evergreen’s senior captain Jacob Ciancia faces off for the ball along the right wing against Conifer’s Maddox Rife during the first PHOTO BY GLENN WALLACE half of the April 15 game.

with four saves. Five of those goals came in the first half. In the waning four minutes of the first half though, the Lobos did keep things interesting.

Evergreen’s back line was caught flat footed at one moment, setting up a decent shot on goal. Freer saved it, but a sliding tackle from behind gave the Lobos a second try in the

form of a free kick. Freer stayed solid though, ensuring the only thing making it into his net was SEE SNOW, P39

worsening weather conditions made it increasingly tough to maintain footing. Evergreen (6-3-1) would go on to lose its final game of the season the following day, 3-1, against Wheat Ridge, ending the season ranked third in the 4A Jeffco Conference. For Conifer (2-8), the lopsided loss to rival neighboring EHS adds to a rough list of defeats this season.

He always pulls through, but D’Evelyn brought it to us tonight.” Standley Lake junior Seth White set up the game-winning goal making a run deep toward the end-line before slipping a pass to Bundgaard. White was actually taken down hard by D’Evelyn senior Caulin Martinez in the first half. Both Martinez and White received yellow cards for the incident before halftime. “We knew first team to put in a

goal was going to win it,” Bundgaard said. “Seth had an interesting first half when it got a little heated. He carried through and put it to me for my 13th on the season, lucky 13.” The lone goal was all the Gators needed. Standley Lake’s defense held up and Crosbey managed his sixth shutout victory of the season. “My heart was beating,” Crosbey said of the couple of set pieces by the Jaguars that nearly tied the game late. “This was our league title on the line.” The Gators close out their regular season against Alameda on Saturday, April 17, at Trailblazer Stadium. The league finale was postponed due to the snowstorm that hit the Denver Metro Area on April 15. Standley

Lake suffered a 3-2 loss to end the 8-game winning streak for the Gators. The 4A state will be a 16-team tournament. Standley Lake actually had a Cinderella run to the 4A state Final 4 in 2015. The Gators were the No. 11 seed, but knocked off No. 6 Niwot and No. 3 Battle Mountain before losing to No. 2 The Classical Academy in the semifinals. “I think our goal is to go all the way,” Crosbey said. “We have a lot of ambitious people on this team. Our goal is to win state.” Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools. For more Jeffco coverage go to CHSAANow.com/Jeffco.
