A Big Day for Ben

Jeffco health head declares ‘fourth wave’

Golden High holds parade for 11-year-old cancer survivor as part of annual Wish Week

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During stays in the hospital while he sought treatment for Lymphoma, 11-year-old Ben Bontrager and his father, Jeff Bontrager, frequently talked about what wish Ben would want granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“There were a lot of days in the hospital and some of them were awful and it was just a bit of a light,” said Jeff.

On April 20, Bontrager got to see his wish start to come true as Golden High School students got in their cars for a parade to honor him. Ben finished his last chemotherapy treatment nearly a year ago.

The parade, which was scheduled to be held on April 18 but had to be rescheduled because of weather, was supposed to kick off the school’s annual Wish Week, a week of fundraising activities to grant the wishes of kids who have faced critical illnesses in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

While this was the fourth time Golden High School has held a Wish Week, this year’s event was particularly special because Ben lives in Golden and attends nearby Fairmount Elementary while his brother, Ethan, is a student at Golden High School.

“I think this year has a lot more excitement because Ben is very local to us and his brother is in my class so I think that makes it very exciting and a lot more personal to our community,” said Tea Del

Young people now more at risk to get COVID but remain less likely to be hospitalized

However, the need to move things outside also created an opportunity to start a new parade tradition.

During the parade, Ben rode in a firetruck that led the long line of cars on a route that traveled down Ford Street before the school before turning onto 21st Street and then onto Jackson to return back to the school, where Ben then got out of the truck to watch and waive to the rest of the parade.

With Jeffco currently seeing rates of COVID-19 equal to those seen last fall at the start of that season’s major surge in cases, Jeffco’s top public health official told the Jeffco commissioners on April 20 that “we are clearly now in a fourth wave.”

“Our incidence rates are now as high as they were last October when under (the state’s) dial two we went into the very severe Level Red restrictions,” said Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Dawn Comstock. “So, I am quite concerned about the level of community spread of COVID-19 in Jefferson County right now.”

On the day Comstock made those comments, Jeffco’s seven-day average for new cases was 177.3 per 100,000 residents while the COVID-19 test positivity rate was 5.9%.

After mostly decreasing for the past five months, hospitalizations have also been increasing, Comstock said.

Meanwhile, the county’s current 14-day hospitalization rate, 0.8 per 100,000, puts it well below the cutoff that would trigger a move from

Grippo, who was one of the student organizers of this year’s Wish Week.

Of course, this year’s Wish Week also presented new challenges as students had to contend with starting to plan the event, a process that began in November, during a pandemic that saw all of the school’s students attending in-person just part time — or not at all.

“Most of the time our events are inside but because of COVID we had to move everything outside,” said Senior Class President Devyn Schaefer. “And then obviously weather hasn’t really been our friend the past few days so that has probably been our biggest challenge with the outdoor events.”

Level Blue to the more restrictive Level Yellow under the county’s current two-phased COVID-19 reopening plan. Still, that rate has also risen significantly since the end of March, when it was as low 0.5 per 100,000.

Under that plan, Jeffco is set to remain in Level Blue regardless of hospitalization trends until May 15 and then move into the new Level Clear, in which no restrictions will initially be imposed.

However, the county would be moved back to Level Blue if the average hospitalizations per 100,000 people over a 14-day period rises to between 2 and 3. It would be moved to even more restrictive dial levels if the 14-day average for new hospitalizations exceeded 3 per 100,000.

Comstock said data shows the increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are both being driven by younger people, who are more susceptible to new variants of COVID-19 than they were to earlier versions of the virus.

However, she also said it is important to know that those young people are still less likely to require hospitalization than the older people who made up the vast majority of hospitalizations during the pandemic.

“Even if they do require hospitalization they are less likely to have such severe illness that they end up on a ventilator or being a fatality,” she said. “But that does

able on the JCPH website, making direct comparisons between state and county data difficult. JCPH Epidemeologist Kate Watkins said the county does not show hospitalization data day by day to protect patient privacy.

However, the county does share data for the number of people hospitalized each week. That number increased each week from 20 the week of March 21 to 42 the week of April 11 before decreasing to 26 for the week of April 18. However, those numbers do not reflect the overall number of people in the hospital as they do not account for the number of people in the hospital for multiple weeks. There can also be lags in the updating of hospitalization numbers.

“Speaking from the perspective of a scientist who is not very much swayed by political arguments, I disagree that Jeffco and the rest of the metro area can safely reopen at this time,” said Dr. Karen Tonso.

Later in the discussion, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper acknowledged that there has been “confusion” around Jeffco’s decision to move the county to Level Blue but expressed support for JCPH’s decision to do so.

“I hear from some constituents like Dr. Tonso who say `we aren’t going far enough’ and I hear from other constituents who say `open up and follow the lead of other counties,’” she said. “I really think our local public health directors have come together in the metro area to based on the data and other factors come up with what you think is the best scenario looking forward.”

Autonomous vehicles could come to Golden City would be first in state to be served by driverless vehicles

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hitching a ride on a driverless vehicle may sound like something that only happens in sci-fi movies, but it’s coming closer to reality in Golden.

The French autonomous vehicle company EasyMile (which has its North American headquarters in Denver) says it will make Golden the first city in the state to have such vehicles run on its streets. That is, if it gets permission from Federal and state officials to do so.

On April 20, representatives from EasyMile and the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance presented to the Golden City Council about their plan to deploy seven of its vehicles on around Golden as part of a yearlong test pilot.

The pilot, which is set to begin in August, will see the shuttles run on three set routes: one between Brown Hall on the campus and Mines Park north of U.S. 6, a second connecting the campus with downtown Golden via Arapahoe Street and a third connecting Guggenheim Hall with the K parking lot on campus.

Joanna Jamison, the program director for the Colorado Smart Cities Alliance, said the alliance is interested in running a pilot in Golden for several reasons, including the unique downtown campus area that would allow the vehicles to serve a

Here Are Some Strategies for Assembling Your Down Payment Funds Last week I wrote about how first-time home buyers can buy a home with as little as $1,000 out of pocket, but the rest of us may be challenged to come up with the down payment when we buy a home.

Many buyers think lenders require a 20% down payment, but that’s not necessarily true.

There are loans available from many lenders with as little as 3% down payment. The interest rate charged will probably be higher, but with rates for conventional loans so low, what’s an additional quarter percentage point or so anyway?

And don’t assume that every loan with less than 20% down payment will require mortgage insurance, which can be very expensive. Often that mortgage insurance is waived in exchange for a slightly higher interest rate.

Note: FHA loans, which only require 3.5% down, require mortgage insurance which lasts for the life of the loan, forcing you to refinance to get rid of that fee as your equity passes 20% of your home’s value. There are non-FHA (i.e., conventional) loans where you don’t have to refinance to shed the cost of mortgage insurance, although doing so requires a new appraisal.

So, first of all, determine how much money you will actually need for your down payment, and shop around with different lenders, since this requirement can vary greatly. Generally, I recommend shopping mortgage brokers instead of banks, because banks only sell their own loan products, but mortgage brokers can sell multiple products from multiple lenders, including special products for first

responders, teachers, medial personnel, and others. You might be in one of those targeted groups.

Once you know the amount you need to raise, how can you assemble it if you don’t have that cash in your checking or savings account?

Start your quest by asking advice from your loan officer. A good loan officer, like Jaxzann Riggs of The Mortgage Network, will be able to make suggestions once she (or he) has a full picture of your financial situation and assets.

Strategies I’ve seen employed include the following.

1) If you own a home currently and have substantial equity in it, you can borrow against that equity with a Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC. Credit unions are good at issuing these loans to its members, but you need to apply for that HELOC before you put your home on the market, if you’re planning on selling it.

Since these loans have little or no closing costs and you don’t pay interest until you actually draw on that line of credit, there’s no reason not to have a HELOC in place right now and certainly ahead of needing the money. It’s like having money in the bank — literally.

2) If you have an high-balance IRA or other retirement fund, you may be able to withdraw money from it without penalty if you return that money within a couple months, so this is a good strategy if you need the money from selling your current home but don’t want to make an offer on your replacement home that is contingent on selling your current home. A loan against your 401K carries no penalty.

Just Listed: Home in Village at Mountain Ridge

This home at 111 Eagle Court in Golden’s Village at Mountain Ridge has 4 bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms and a finished walkout basement with a pool table. It’s on a culde-sac with a 3-car garage and offers fantastic mountain views, great walking/biking trails and nearby parks. The large master bedroom has a slider door that opens onto a $829,000 private deck where you can relax and take in the beautiful mountain views. Off the kitchen is another deck where you can BBQ and enjoy the view of North Table Mountain. The newly refinished hardwood floors on the main floor look fabulous. The open floor plan in the kitchen/family room with a gas fireplace keeps it cozy on those cold winter nights. The high-efficiency furnace and on demand hot water are added bonuses. Take a narrated video tour at www.MountainRidgeHome.com, then call your agent or listing agent David Dlugasch at 303-908-4835 to set a showing.

3) If you have own stocks and bonds but don’t want to sell them, consider using them as collateral for a loan.

4) Relatives or friends can gift you with money, but speak to your loan officer about documentation requirements. As you may know, anyone can give up to $15,000 to anyone else once per year without paying gift tax.

5) Another option is the bridge loan.

This option carries a higher interest rate, but it could be your answer. Ask your loan officer about it.

6) Get creative! If you’re engaged, how about a bridal registry for down payment funds? A GoFundMe campaign might work for you, too. If you have no loan on your car and it’s worth a lot, credit unions will lend you money against it. (I did that

once.) You may own jewelry or other valuables that you’re not so attached to that you’d be willing to liquidate them. (Rita and I have done that, too.)

Don’t Fall for Gift Card Scam

This Monday, people on my contact list received an email that looked as if it was from me, asking for “help.” If they responded to the email, it went to a scammer pretending to be me who said I was in a meeting but could they help me purchase some Google gift cards for my clients and I’d reimburse them.

This kind of scam doesn’t hurt the person who’s being impersonated, but it hurts his/her friends and contacts who fall for it.

Tell your family and friends about this scam and don’t let yourself fall for it!

1,200+ Metro Area Homes Are Just Sitting on MLS No buyer wants to be in a bidding war, but there are many listings on the MLS that aren’t selling and won’t subject you to a bidding war. You may even be able to buy them for less than their listing prices.

As I write this on Sunday, there are 1,241 active (that is, unsold) listings on the MLS within 25 miles of downtown Denver that have been active 10 or more days. There are 764 that have been active a month or longer, and 483

that have been active 60 days or longer.

And it’s not as if those 483 listings are in the boondocks, The map shown here (from REcolorado) shows where they are.

As I’ve written before, any agent can set you up to receive only listings which have been on the MLS a certain number of days. It is a good way to avoid a bidding war.

Armed suspect killed

by Lakewood PD Officer placed on leave pending internal investigation results

HOW COMMON IS IT?

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 2019 study by the National Police Foundation looked at 1,006 officer involved shootings occurring at 47 departments between 2015-17. That study found that 4 out of 5 officers who fired in those shootings had never discharged their guns before.

A Lakewood man is dead after being shot by a Lakewood PD agent in the early morning hours of April 20.

According to a statement by Lakewood PD Public Information Officer, John Romero, police were dispatched to the area near West 5th Avenue and Benton Street for reports of shots being fired. Witnesses at the scene told agents that a male suspect had shot another man, and both had fled the scene.

The victim was located at an area hospital where he was being treated for a gunshot wound.

Meanwhile, a search perimeter was established, and the suspect was located near West 3rd Place and Depew Street. He was later identified as 35-yearold Steven Ross Glass, a Lakewood resident.

According to Romero,Glass, armed with a handgun, refused

to drop his weapon and threatened to shoot officers as they tried to apprehend him.

“The suspect then raised his gun at police and was shot by a Lakewood Police Sergeant,” Romero’s statement said. “Evidence at the scene indicates that the suspect fired his handgun as well.”

Romero’s statement said agents immediately began to administer CPR to the suspect, but he ultimately succumbed to his wounds and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The Jefferson County Critical Incident Response Team will investigate this shooting. Per department policy, the Lakewood sergeant who shot the suspect will be placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

This is the second officer involved shooting in Lakewood this month — the third of 2021.

Interactive tour marks new beginning for Lutheran Legacy Campus Socially distanced outdoor event allows visitors to learn more about campus history STAFF REPORT

In 2018, SCL Health purchased a 26-acre parcel at Clear Creek Crossing, located near Highway 58 and I-70, to be the future home of the SCL Health Campus.

SCL Health will join a 310-unit apartment building, a 5,600-squarefoot Kum and Go gas station and other retail and hospitality businesses in the new Clear Creek location.

The move creates an opportunity for redevelopment of the current SCL Lutheran site on 38th Avenue which began as the Evangelical Lutheran Sanitarium in 1905 to treat tuberculosis patients.

Saturday, May 1, there will be a self-guided public tour of the SCL Lutheran Medical Center campus located at 8300 W. 38th Avenue.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to noon and is being billed as one of the first steps in the SCL Lutheran Legacy Campus Master Planning Process, a collaboration of the City of Wheat Ridge, SCL Health, and the project consultant (MIG, Inc.).

According to a press release from the city of Wheat Ridge, the tour will be an “open-house style event with three engagement stations situated around the medical campus perimeter loop where the public can walk, ride, or drive to gain perspective about the various parts of the campus and learn more about its history.”

The three interactive stations, located near the main north and south entrances and the west side of the campus, will provide information around the project that includes the campus’ history, existing development, transportation, parking, open space, and neighborhood transitions.

According to the city’s notice, there will also be opportunities for community input “to gain understanding of the community’s perspective,” before discussion of ideas for future use.

Lutheran Hospital opened as a non-profit general medical facility at the 38th Avenue site in 1961. In the 1970s, the site became known as Lutheran Medical Center.

More details about the Interactive Campus Tour are available at whatsupwheatridge.com/lutheran. The tour will be available through the month of May in a virtual, interactive format as well, with handouts for those who are unable to attend in person.

Teens speak up for themselves on heady topics Youth drinking and partying focus of county event

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Teen drinking and partying was front and center at the April 22 Jefferson County Communities That Care Youth Voices event.

For the past four-and-half-months, 35 high school and college students have been at work on projects that give them the opportunity to propose and solutions to problems that affect teens in the county. The students came from mostly from Jeffco high schools, including Lakewood High, Golden High, Green Mountain, Arvada West, Chatfield and Jefferson virtual academy. Some also attend CU Boulder.

During the conference, those students had the opportunity to present their proposals, which dealt specifically with how to reduce teen partying and provide more constructive places for teens to spend time on weekends. Here is a closer look at the proposals: Social hosting policy group “How can we reduce the amount of house parties and underage drinking in Jeffco?” That was the question that led this group to the answer of a social hosting laws, a set of policies that hold adults responsible for underage drinking that occurs on properties they own, rent,

WHO’S INVOLVED?

WHAT’S NEXT?

Jeffco Communities That Care is a county-sponsored organization consisting of 100 stakeholders, community leaders youth that work to address substance abuse and other problems among Jeffco youth. Each year, the program hires dozens of students to be interns and work on proposals for addressing those challenges.

The adult members of the JCTC will review the proposals and prepare feedback to the students about whether the board wants to advocate for the ideas to other local leaders.

or otherwise control.

According to the presentation, the law’s potential benefits would include encouraging those who control property to prevent house parties and providing law enforcement with a tool to restrict house parties without having to meet the higher bar of criminal prosecution.

The students also argued that adults would be discouraged from purchasing alcohol for teens if they knew they could be held responsible while underage drinkers would be spared from a mark on their criminal record that could possibly impact their future.

“As youth in Jeffco, we believe social hosting laws will shift the norms in the county so that more adults and teens will disapprove of under age drinking,” said one of the students in a video shown during the presentation.

The students also cited a survey conducted at a youth town hall conducted of 185 Jeffco students earlier this year in which 85% of those students said they are aware of peers drinking alcohol at private homes.

There was also discussion about interviews the teens did with

several police officers, the majority of whom indicated that current strategies are not effectively reducing youth substances misuse. The students said an “overwhelming majority of officers they spoke with would use a social hosting ticket option if one were available.”

Students also argued that the implementation of social hosting policy would need to be accompanied with more efforts to educate adults about the dangers associated with teen drinking, including sex assault and car crashes.

“Data collected at the town hall on Feb. 28 found that the majority of teens believe adults give youth alcohol because they don’t care,” said team member Sarah Driscoll. “Adults can show teens they care by being proactive and not supplying alcohol.”

Teen spaces proposal When David Yoon move to Jeffco from South Korea in 2008, he was most surprised by the differences he observed between how American and Korean teens spend their weekend nights.

In Korea, most youth spent there time in public facilities, such as indoor gyms and gaming stations that were open until 5 p.m. or 6 p.m.

“For me, there was no time to feel loneliness or boredom,” he said in a video that was part of the presentation.

But social norms are different in Jeffco, where six in 10 of the youth responded in the town hall responded that they spend none or only some of their time in activities that are “meaningful.”

That’s why this policy group said they propose that “Jeffco youth be given access to teen-based activities and safe spaces like those David was able to experience in South Korea.”

During the presentation, members of the group argued that existing facilities for teens are not sufficient because of a lack of awareness among teens and a lack of transportation for teens to access them.

“We as Jeffco youth strongly believe increasing the number of safe spaces, making the alreadyexisting spaces more accessible and increasing the youth’s awareness of them will be the key solution for our problems,” said team member and Lakewood High student Kutad Duzgun.

The group also found that it is critical that teen spaces foster a sense of inclusivity, which they suggested could be facilitated by hiring youth from diverse backgrounds in leadership positions.

“In order to accomplish a flexible gathering place, we need your help to keep places like libraries and rec centers open later,” said another team member in the video, who was not identified.

Jeffco’s CIP: Who is calling the shots?

Governance, transparency and oversight questions put to program insiders

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeffco Schools’ Capital Improvement Program, on-track to cost more than three quarters of a billion dollars, has a relatively small number of people making the lion’s share of critical decisions.

Among those calling the shots are Steve Bell, the district’s chief operating officer, and Tim Reed, executive director of facilities & construction. Others, like Nicole Stewart, interim chief financial officer, members of Jeffco’s Board of Education and two committees — the Capital Asset Advisory Committee and the District’s Financial Oversight Committee have roles to play as well.

From nearly the beginning of the program, board member Susan Miller and some district watchers have voiced concerns about the way elements of the program are being run. Many of those criticisms have hinged on a perceived lack of oversight. Specifically, critics say the CAAC is not providing adequate oversight, something that led one member of the group to resign.

Ask district staff about this, and they say district staff and the CAAC have operated in unison by design. It’s the way the system, as it’s currently organized, was meant to function. The CAAC is there to advise, not oversee and control.

It’s right there in the name — advisory committee.

But with this amount of taxpayer money, is the current level of oversight enough?

Audit oversight One of the biggest oversight questions revolves around the need for an Independent Performance Audit of the CIP. When questioned about the subject, Reed said it was important to define what an Independent Performance Audit is and what it would do.

He said what it would mean is the auditor would go through and look at every committed item and see if it has either been done or was in the drawings to be done.

It would also allow auditors to go through all invoices, etc.

“They’re very expensive. We had estimated that one would be more than a million dollars, and it would basically bring the program to a halt,” Reed said. “We brought it up at one of the CAAC meetings, and the committee voted no on it, with the exception of Jeff (Wilhite, former CAAC member) who kind of hedged his vote. But it was decided this was not a good way of spending district resources.”

Reed said the district is audited every year as part of the overall district audit.

“They select projects and then

ABOUT THE SERIES This story is part of an ongoing series examining Jeffco Public Schools bond project.

Future installments of the series will explore the district’s interim bond report and an interview with a member of the CAAC whose business was granted bond money. they go through and check them out,” he said. “And we come through with a clean bill of health — we’re not cited to improve process or anything like that.”

Typically, those audits happen after the end of the fiscal year, he said, and the CIP has been included in two or three of those audits since it started. Reed stressed that all capital projects are audited every single year regardless of whether there’s a CIP underway.

When asked for her opinion on the need for an Independent Performance Audit, Board President Susan Harmon’s written answer was in line with Reed’s.

“Most of the projects are meeting their budgets. There are a few that, due to scope increases, market/bidding conditions, and complexity, are over budget,” her statement said. “For a program of this size, with costs having been estimated/projected three or more years ago, it is unrealistic to expect each project to be right on budget. The time and money a performance audit would cost is better spent on continuing the work that is underway.”

To be clear, when voters passed the 2018 bond initiative, they

were placing their trust in the district to run this behemoth of a construction program. There was no clause on the ballot that said there had to be independent oversight. But there was an explicit deal with voters that the district would be a responsible steward of the money. In fact, in an op-ed published September 25, 2018, former Jeffco Superintendent, Jason Glass said “bond funds would also be monitored by a separate blueribbon oversight committee and be subject to an annual external audit,” and technically, it has.

But an interim bond program report prepared by the district’s own former chief financial officer that was commissioned in October 2020 had called for strengthening oversight of the bond program and identified millions in discrepancies between the flipbook that voters had approved of at the ballot box.

Also, there has been at least one member of the CAAC who also was not content with the current level of bond oversight.

CAAC Resignation Jeff Wilhite resigned from the CAAC Feb 4, 2021. In his letter of resignation, he said “My decision to withdraw from the Committee is based on what I feel are significant differences between my professional experience in construction project budgeting and funds disbursements, and the processes being used by District staff that are accepted as appropriate by the Capital Asset Committee and the Board of Education.”

Prior to his resignation, Wilhite had suggested to Bell and Reed that he and two other members, Megan Castle and George Latuda, take a more in-depth look at spending, including money from the bond premium, and be more involved in oversight.

Reed was asked if he remembered Wilhite making the suggestion.

“Yes, I do,” Reed said. “He simply proposed (the idea) at a meeting but hadn’t discussed it with the other members he suggested (take part). We believed that given the numbers of layers of financial people that look over our shoulder, that it really wasn’t necessary.”

Reed said at the time of Wilhite’s suggestion, there was a discussion with the CAAC to find out what information they would like to see. A report was developed, to be put out monthly on the CAAC website to show the original budget for a specific project, where it is today, what phase of work it’s in, etc. He said so far, the CAAC has been very appreciative of getting that information.

He said transparency and oversight concerns Wilhite brought up in his resignation letter were never expressed in CAAC meetings before he stepped down from the committee.

In an earlier interview with the newspaper, Wilhite was reluctant to go on the record about his time on the CAAC, but did say, “I don’t think you can find an answer of who’s doing financial oversight (of the CIP).”

However, the parade is just the beginning for Bontrager, who made the wish to go to the Aulani Resort in Hawaii in his family. To help fund that wish, Golden High School set the goal of raising $40,000 over the course of the week, which ended on April 23. Last year, the school raised more than $45,000 during Wish Week.

“It’s been really nice to see everybody’s support and being flexible and willing to work with everything,” said Tegan Starick, who has been part of the team that organizes Wish Week since her sophomore year. “It’s just really cool to see everybody show up and contribute despite these crazy times.”

VEHICLES FROM PAGE 3

But Lauren Isaac, the director of business initiatives, said it is extremely unlikely it will ever be necessary for the safety operator to do so.

“The vehicle does extremely well around cyclists and pedestrians,” said Isaac. “During the first few weeks of deployment, it is not unusual to have people jumping in front of the vehicles and testing the technology’s ability to stop, which is faster than a human’s ability in a car so it really is extremely safe.”

Isaac also touted that the vehicles, which run on electricity,

have traveled over 500,000 without ever having had an accident and been approved by use in more than 30 countries.

According to a memo by Golden Planning Director Rick Muriby, the city of Golden will not contribute to the funding of the pilot and does not have the ability to regulate their use on its streets provided the state and Federal government give their approval.

However, Isaac said the pilot would bring several benefits to the city, including attracting people into the city to see and ride the vehicles and positioning Golden as a leader when it comes to autonomous transportation.

Following the presentation, Councilman Casey Brown asked

what would happen after the end of the one-year pilot.

“I think we would love to talk with you all more about what that looks like depending on how the project is received, how the project goes etc.,” said Jamison.

“But for now we are just really focused on that initial year but very open to conversations about what happens beyond that.”

Although some councilmembers raised questions about safety and other concerns, several expressed excitement about the project.

“A number of years ago I read a book about autonomous vehicles by [the futurist] Rutt Bridges and now here it is happening in Golden,” said Dale. “I am very excited about that.”

Training day City allows firefighters to train in Coors building before demolition

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Next month, the old Coors building at 311 10th Street will be tore down (the city plans to use the property as part of the larger Heart of Golden project that will reimagine the city’s civic core.

But first, some firefighters got to have a little (deconstructive) fun.

Last week, the city allowed firefighters from Golden and neighboring agencies to practice everything from forcible entry (breaking through locked doors) to wall breach (entering and exiting rooms and buildings through walls) in the building.

“It is critical training for emergency situations that — for obvious

Wheat Ridge to draft ordinance prohibiting open carry on city property New law would bring city in line with surrounding communities

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Guns. Always a heated issue in American society — perhaps never more than right now.

In their April 19 study session, members of the Wheat Ridge City Council tackled the topic as they tried to decide if open carry (or any carry) of deadly weapons should be allowed on city property.

City Manager, Patrick Goff said the city’s code of laws does not currently prohibit open carry in city owned buildings or open spaces.

He said many years ago the state legislature addressed the issue by passing a statute. In 2003, city staff brought forward an ordinance that would align city code with the new state statute, but the council declined to move forward with the ordinance at that time.

Then, security concerns during last November’s general election brought the issue back into the spotlight.

Jeffco employees inquired if Wheat Ridge had an ordinance

prohibiting open carry at polling places like City Hall and the Wheat Ridge Rec. Center, and they were told it didn’t.

Current state law restricts local governments from prohibiting the carry of concealed weapons unless the city puts additional security parameters (like metal detectors) in place. It also requires the city to pass a law if they want to prohibit open carry of weapons on city property and post signs stating open carry is not allowed.

Most neighboring cities including Arvada, Golden, Lakewood and Denver have ordinances prohibiting carry of deadly weapons on city property. Jefferson County has a similar county ordinance.

Goff said city staff had come up with three recommendations for Council to study. The first recommendation was for Council to direct staff to draft an ordinance moving forward with the alignment of city codes with the state statute. The second recommendation was to allow the city to prohibit the carry of deadly weapons on city property (i.e., city hall, recreation center, and any park or open space that is owned and managed by the city of Wheat Ridge). The third suggestion was to direct staff to draft an ordinance to align city code with the state’s legal definition of

“deadly weapon.”

City Attorney, Gerald Dahl said it would be possible to prohibit concealed carry as well as open carry, but it would come at a greater cost because manned walk-through metal detectors would need to be installed to properly enforce a prohibition of concealed carry.

Goff said he’s not aware of any incidents of open carry in city hall thus far, but worries about the toll it could take on staff who already have to deal with aggression from people who come in.

“I think adding the layer of an open carry weapon in this situation would make it much worse,” he said. “I can’t say we’ve had an incident with an open carry weapon, but we’ve had instances where employees are attacked and harassed to a level that they fear for their life and they’ve quit. So, I would like to be able to control our environments for both our employees and our public.”

Council member Janeece Hoppe said she thinks it’s important to create safe spaces for staff who are the city’s front-line workers.

Currently, city hall and the city’s recreation center have signs posted that aim to discourage the open carry of weapons, but it’s merely a suggestion that is unenforceable without passing an ordinance.

Council member Judy Hutchen-

son said she thinks both open and concealed carry should be prohibited, and metal detectors should be installed if that’s what it takes to make it happen.

“They don’t allow this in court.

Why would it be different in a city building, a rec. center?” she said. “It’s not just the rights of employees, it’s the rights of the people who live in Wheat Ridge, that come to Wheat Ridge just to do their everyday business or to have fun, and the idea of deadly weapons on city owned property — exactly why do we need that?”

Council member Leah Dozeman said she is a concealed carry permit holder and took issue with what she called the “criminalizing and stereotyping” of the kind of security Second Amendment rights guarantee for citizens.

She said for the sake of staff feeling secure she would be open to regulating open carry, but she would never support the regulation of concealed carry permit holders.

In the end, Council reached consensus on all three of the staff recommendations — drafting an ordinance aligning city code with state law, aligning city code with state law definition of deadly weapon, and prohibition of deadly weapons on city property.

City Attorney, Gerald Dahl will now be tasked with drafting the legislation.

Planning Commission recommends Project Indiana annexation, rezoning

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a series of votes that could usher in lasting change to the landscape of western Arvada, the City’s Planning Commission voted on April 20 to recommend the annexation and rezoning of Project Indiana to City Council. On June 7, Council will vote to decide if an Amazon delivery station will be approved to occupy the 36-acre lot that abuts Maple Valley Park.

The Amazon facility would include a 112,000-square-foot warehouse and more than 1,100 parking spaces on Indiana Street near West 68th Avenue.

The meeting — held on Zoom and lasting just over 5 hours — saw the Planning Commission vote on four items: the annexation of Maple Valley Park, the rezoning of Maple Valley Park to City of Arvada open space, the Project Indiana annexation located at 6730 Indiana Street and the rezoning of Project Indiana to City of Arvada light industrial.

All four items were passed through a vote and therefore recommended to council.

The annexation and rezoning of Maple Valley Park

both passed unanimously 6-0.

The Project Indiana annexation passed 5-1 with Commissioner Andrew Gay as the lone dissenting vote, while the Project Indiana rezoning passed 4-2 with Gay and Commissioner Michael McCarron dissenting.

The agenda was segmented into two separate discussions: the first on the annexation and rezoning of Maple Valley Park, and the second on the Project Indiana annexation and rezoning.

Planning Commission Chair T.O. Owens remarked that the meeting was the most well-attended planning commission meeting he could recall, with over 25 public commenters taking part in the first discussion and over 35 taking part in the second. All public commenters spoke out in opposition of the proposal, with none voicing their support.

Protect Maple Valley Park, a group of local residents who oppose the Project Indiana proposal, gave a presentation during the second phase of the meeting. Gina Hallisey, the group’s chairperson, said she felt that the planning commission did not give the public equal opportunity to comment in

comparison to the time allotted to the applicant.

“I think it was unfortunate how (the Planning Commission) treated the public,” said Hallisey. “The applicant was able to talk about their plan in regard to rezoning and annexation and the commissioners talked about why they voted yes, but whenever a citizen, during their 2 minutes of time started to talk about the plan, they were shut down.

“So, that was disheartening,” Hallisey continued, “I thought that was unfortunate, I thought they did a disservice to the community.

I question whether they even followed their own procedures.”

In his dissenting comments, Gay recognized

the citizens that spoke out against the proposal and stressed his belief that the proposal does not meet criteria 5 of the Land Development Code, which states that new developments must be “Consistent with the character of existing or planned development on adjacent properties in the surrounding area.”

“I thought there was a lot of passion and lot of thoughtful comments from our citizens,” said Gay. “We are paying attention and we hear you. But I also want to complement the developer.

I thought they had a lot of thorough planning and a great presentation.

“I don’t think it meets criteria 5 (of the LDC) where it talks about consistency

with the surrounding areas and neighborhoods,” Gay continued. “The comment from the developer is that the adjacent properties are vacant, but I would expand that definition to include the surrounding neighborhoods.”

Despite the voting results, Hallisey said she felt that the outpouring of community opposition against the project would continue to build momentum in advance of the June 7 City Council vote.

“There were no citizens on the Zoom expressing support of the Amazon facility,” said Hallisey, “only opposition comments. It’s quite obvious that the community doesn’t want this. With over 5,700 people in the opposition group, I don’t think we lost momentum tonight, I think we will actually gain momentum leading up to City Council.”

Arvada’s City Council June 14 meeting is set to be a hybrid meeting that will allow for in-person and online attendance. The vote was initially scheduled to take place at the Council’s June 7 meeting, but Councilmember David Jones has a scheduling conflict that precludes him from being able to attend that meeting.

Restaurants, event venues, movie theaters can get pandemic assistance Other businesses may still access programs, including PPP loans

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than a year after the pandemic began upending the economy, federal assistance is still available for many types of businesses, with a fund aimed at restaurants expected to open up soon.

Another grant program provides help for event venues, performing arts, museums and movie theaters.

Other businesses may still access the federal Paycheck Protection Program — commonly known as PPP loans — and another batch of dollars called the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.

Colorado has also compiled a list of local funding sources that it updates regularly.

Here’s a look at the different assistance programs.

For restaurants The Restaurant Revitalization Fund, part of the federal American Rescue Plan Act, will provide $28.6 billion in grants to restaurants and bars in need. Restaurants will able to apply for grants based on lost revenue.

The official application launch date was to be announced soon,

according to the Colorado government website as of late April.

For the first 21 days that the program is open, the U.S. Small Business Administration, a federal agency, will prioritize reviewing applications from small businesses owned by women, veterans, and “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals,” according to the state’s website.

Following the 21-day period, all eligible applicants are encouraged to submit applications.

For now, the state recommends viewing the list of documentation required to prepare an application.

See more information at tinyurl. com/RestaurantPandemicFund.

For events, arts venues The federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program was established by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Non-Profits, and Venues Act, signed into law in December.

The program includes $15 billion in grants to shuttered venues, according to the Small Business Administration.

Entities that can apply include: • Live venue operators or promoters; • Theatrical producers; • Live performing-arts organization operators; • Museum operators; • Motion picture theater operators (including owners); • Talent representatives.

Eligible applicants may qualify for grants equal to 45% of their gross earned revenue, with the maximum amount available for a single grant award of $10 million. The program reserved $2 billion for eligible applications with up to 50 full-time employees.

Applications opened on April 8.

See more information at tinyurl. com/EventsArtsAssistance.

If you didn’t get PPP, try again With a $284 billion congressional package for small-business relief, the federal Paycheck Protection Program reopened the week of Jan. 11. If banks said that a business didn’t qualify previously, the business should try again because of the recent changes, according to the state’s website.

In addition, to apply for this round, a business does not need to have had the first round of its PPP loan forgiven — it only must have used the money from the first round to qualify for the second round.

If a business has not received a PPP loan before, “First Draw” PPP loans are available.

For those who already received a PPP loan, certain businesses are eligible for a “Second Draw” PPP loan.

To promote “equitable relief for the smallest of small businesses,” the SBA announced that it would make the following changes to the program: • Allow sole proprietors, inde-

pendent contractors and self-employed individuals to receive more financial support by revising the PPP’s funding formula; • Eliminate a restriction for small-business owners with prior non-fraud felony convictions; • Eliminate restrictions on small-business owners who have struggled to make federal student loan payments, by eliminating federal student loan debt delinquency and default as disqualifiers to participating in the PPP program; • Ensure access for non-citizen small-business owners who are lawful U.S. residents by clarifying that they may use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to apply for PPP. For more information and to apply, see tinyurl.com/PPPSecondRound.

Another general loan for businesses The Small Business Administration’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program provides low-interest loans to small businesses and nonprofits to help overcome loss of revenue due to COVID-19, according to the state’s website.

Small businesses that receive a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan won’t have to start making payments on the loan until 2022.

The loan may be used for the following purposes: • Keeping employees on payroll; SEE ASSISTANCE, P15

Doesn’t the nationwide ‘schadenfreude’ (taking pleasure re the distress of others) re the conviction of Officer Chauvin, remind one of France’s (1894/1906) ‘Dreyfus Affair’?

Wasn’t Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish Army officer, convicted of treason on the flimsiest of evidence by court-martial, to satiate widespread antisemitic mob-sentiments?

Despite subsequent findings of his innocence by a superior officer (who was shipped to America forthwith), wasn’t Dreyfus left hanging as the seeming real culprit was acquitted by an antisemitic dominated court-martial?

How can anyone claim to see socalled American values in a ruined, bloodthirsty mob dominated city, where threats of additional mayhem were so ubiquitous that some potential jurors were dismissed after admittedly fearing for their lives?

Now that the Minneapolis Star Tribune has published the profiles of the 12 Chauvin jurors for all to see, might jurors have faced the fate of 1952 Brooklynite Arnold Schuster, had they voted differently?

Was not Schuster, who had identified notorious bank robber Willi Sutton, assassinated in revenge by mobsters, after New York newspapers published his home address, work address, and his walking route?

Some examples are in the Colorado Community Media Hall of Fame, but I have no objection to past offenders being convicted twice.

“Whatever.” “Have a nice day.”

“Awesome.” “Cool.”

“Awesome” and “Cool” might be here to stay, but we have gotten rid of “Groovy,” “For sure,” “What’s happening?” and “Tell it like it is.”

Unfortunately, “I know where you’re coming from” lingers.

“Athleticism” is (too) often used in reference to an athlete who demonstrates “Physicality.” What else is an athlete going to demonstrate?

Watch any of the commentary channels and count the number of times someone begins a comment with, “Listen” or “Look.”

“You guys.” “Selfie.” “Legally drunk.” “Hot water heater.” “Bucket list.” “Literally.”

One that’s often underestimated in its potency to undermine a sentence is “Uh.” “You know?”

“It is what it is” is one of the most egregious, and I am getting mighty tired of “egregious” too.

You get the idea: I don’t want to use up all the good (bad) ones. If there’s a story to go along with your nomination all the better.

The audacious optimism of the NFL draft

H

ey, you want to see a bunch of grown — and sometimes overgrown — men get very, very worked up about something that they have HITTING no control over and HOME which they have absolutely no idea how it will turn out?

Watch the NFL draft tonight.

This is one of those nights that you kind of have to look at the wives, as they pull muscles Michael Alcorn rolling their eyes, and just shrug. It’s like, “I know, hon, it’s completely stupid. BUT IT’S SO EXCITING!!”

Why is it exciting? Because it represents, to many sports fans, the hope of a better future. If you are in the position of picking high in the draft—say, the first ten picks (like your Denver Broncos have for the last several years)—that means one thing: your team has been BAD. Like, every Sunday becomes a necessary ritual in torture bad. I liken it to going to the dentist: the best possible outcome is simply not bad news.

And even if you don’t have a cavity or need a root canal, you still have to manage 15 minutes of pain and discomfort.

So that high draft pick gives your team the opportunity to select a player that could change the fortunes of your franchise overnight.

John Elway was the first pick of

his draft and led the Broncos to two Super Bowl championships — we’ve forgotten that he had a losing record his first season and he tends to get a pass for having lost three Super Bowls before getting those two wins.

And, of course, for every John Elway there’s a JaMarcus Russell or a Ryan Leaf, players whose “can’t miss” status lasted until the first time they stepped on the field under the bright lights.

The NFL draft is the beginning of hope for a new day, never mind that, more often than not, it’s more about hype than anything else.

But we cling to hope — it may be our most foolish and endearing quality as humans. And not just in sport.

Which is why it is so exciting that these COVID vaccines are widespread, that they seem to have very small incidences of reactions (seriously, that blood clotting thing with the J&J vaccine has an incidence that is a fraction of the blood clotting associated with the birth control pill), and they work! A recent study documented infections among vaccinated people (known as a “breakthrough infection”) as less than 1 in 10,000 cases.

There’s hope!!

And then there’s epidemiologists.

“No, you still have to wear masks.”

“No, you shouldn’t go out to eat.”

“No, you still shouldn’t gather, even outdoors.”

They’re like the guy at the draft party, hovering around the snack table in the back of the room, double-

dipping their chips, constantly reminding everybody that “we traded up to get Paxton Lynch,” and pointing out all the weaknesses on the coaching staff.

“Just to keep it real.”

I don’t want that real. Look, I get it — epidemiologists sit in their offices and stare at computer models and printouts and live in a world of “worst-case scenarios”. And their mindset is one of 100% — we need to kill it 100%, and if I can’t 100% tell you it’s safe, then I’m going to tell you not to do it. Remember all the theatrics we’ve had to go through disinfecting surfaces? Not necessary, per the CDC. I know — we didn’t know anything, so we’re all doing the best we can. And thank God for the epidemiologists along the way.

But, I gotta say, Fauci has traded up several times in the last year to get Paxton Lynch.

I’m ready for this summer to be like the NFL draft: let me have my hope and my excitement and my dreams of Super Bowl glory. I’ll still do the work and be smart and all that.

But I’m human. I need to embrace the light at the end of the tunnel. We gotta win sometime, right?

Duran bill increases gun reporting requirements for domestic abusers Proposed legislation seeks to strengthen protective orders

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2013, Senate bill 197 was passed requiring people convicted of domestic violence, who had a protection order issued against them, to relinquish their firearms. But according to State Rep. Monica Duran, D-Wheat Ridge, because of a lack of funds in some counties and for many other reasons, it wasn’t being enforced like it should have been.

So, as a survivor of domestic abuse herself, she started looking into ways to increase enforcement

SMITH FROM PAGE 14

“Mom and Dad, I’d like you to meet Megan Thee Stallion.”

“We’re pleased to meet you. What do we call you?”

“You can call me Megan. Or you can call me Thee. Or you can call me Stallion. But you don’t have to call me Megan Thee Stallion.”

once she was elected.

Now, HB21-1255, sponsored by Duran is under consideration in the state legislature.

The bill would give domestic abusers with a protection order issued against them (commonly referred to as a restraining order) seven business days to complete and file an affidavit that discloses the number, type and location of all firearms and ammunition in their possession.

If the person does not own firearms at the time the protection order is issued, they would be required to report their non-ownership in the affidavit. Those who don’t file the affidavit within the given seven days would face a compliance hearing with the court.

There are also provisions in the bill dealing with the relinquish-

ment, transfer of ownership, purchases, sales and storage of firearms by a person with a protection order against them.

Duran said for her, having been in a situation where her life had been threatened by an abuser who had access to firearms — she knew there was a critical window of time for enforcement.

She said lack of process has also been hindering enforcement of the 2013 law. She’s been working on the issue for the past two years and thinks feedback from law enforcement, Sheriffs and District Attorneys has given HB21-1255 the procedural elements and a clear path to make the 2013 law more enforceable.

“It also closes the boyfriend loophole,” Duran said. “Currently, if the couple wasn’t married, and the

abuser was just a boyfriend, there wasn’t much you could do. This bill says, married, boyfriend —whatever the situation, you can still file that protection order.”

Duran said she wants victims to feel as safe as possible and to remove some of the fear they have about reporting domestic abuse.

“They’re (victims) afraid of repercussions, they’re afraid of what might happen,” she said. “But if they know that the law that was passed in 2013 exists, but we’ve laid out a process for it to be enforced, it gives them that sense of safety and security — as much as they can have in a situation like this, then why wouldn’t we do it?”

The bill is also sponsored by state Senator Brittany Pettersen, Representative Matt Gray and state Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis.

(That’s my homage to comedian Bill Saluga and his “Raymond J. Johnson Jr.” routine.)

LIFE

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he secret to making truly good Cajun food boils down to one word — love. Restaurants and food trucks serving Cajun across the Denver metro area may give a quick, oneword answer when asked about the secret, but that does not mean it’s simple.

Although there is some overlap, Cajun is not Southern. The love that comes in true Cajun food is all about the taste of Louisiana and New Orleans. Originally, Cajun from south Louisiana was considered peasant food, made from ingredients that rural families would have. The dishes focused on dirty rice, gumbos, jambalaya and andouille. But do not forget about the importance of frying everything from catfish and shrimp to alligator the Cajun way.

Natalie Vice, owner of the popular Cajun King food truck in Castle Rock, said true New Orleans Cajun is all about love, which means big family, generational recipes and — most importantly — a whole lot of food.

“We love our food,” she said.

“We love our Cajun, and we are used to cooking for a lot of people we love.”

As the Cajun King works toward opening a brick-and-mortar establishment, the business has built a name with its food truck that serves a little bit of everything known as Cajun, with a focus on boils. Vice said the boils are where food, family and love come together.

In New Orleans, a seafood boil is tradition and part of the city’s culture, bringing families around a newspaper-lined table to eat large amounts of shellfish with bare hands and a lot of spice. Vice said Cajun King boils are authentic because they go directly to the source for supplies. This means traveling to Louisiana several times a year, picking up crawfish and alligator along with true-toCajun seasonings.

At Jessie’s Smokin’ Nola, in Centennial, there is nothing generic about the food or owner

Jessie Rayford of Jessie’s Smokin Nola, in Centennial, talks about details in making good Cajun food.

CAJUN DINING OPTIONS Jessie’s Smokin Nola 7422 S. University Blvd. Centennial Lost Cajun Westminster - 3013 W. 104th Ave. Highlands Ranch - 2201 Wildcat Reserve Parkway C-10 Littleton - 5350 South Santa Fe Drive Cajun King Food Truck cajunkingsco.com Jessie Rayford. From his strong Southern accent to his dedication to making a true taste of Cajun for a continuous line of customers, Rayford is all about cooking it up right.

While making his popular Half and Half dish, Rayford explains that putting love into Cajun

means making sure there are no buildup of pellets in the batter. The Half and Half consists of fried catfish on a bed of rice smothered with half shrimp creole and half crawfish etouffee, which is a Cajun stew simmered in a sauce made from a light or blond roux.

“There is only one secret to this food we make — love. I don’t care how long you been cooking,” he said. “That does not matter if you don’t care. I teach the importance of loving and respecting the work we’re doing. This is mine. This is my passion. I love what I do and sometimes, I gotta admit, I can get loud.”

Rayford said his food all starts with the roux, which is a base mixture of butter and flour.

“If the roux ain’t right,” he said, “it ain’t gonna happen.”

In talking about his menu of recipes that he stresses all “come from my head,” Rayford talks and jokes with a line of regular customers, including another New Orleans man who says there is nothing better than having Rayford’s battered catfish between two pieces of white bread.

Rayford said he makes sure the catfish is not muddy, explaining that a Cajun secret to making good catfish is to take it out of the water, dry it out, and take away that muddy flavor people complain about.

House concerts provide live music alternative

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

O

ne of the first responses many people give when they’re asked what they’ve missed most during the COVID-19 pandemic is live music, and while it appears that this summer will feature more concerts, audiences are bound to be smaller.

Those who are still uncomfortable in crowds, or are craving something a more personal connection with the performer may have the perfect option in an already established system — house concerts, like those held at Parker resident John Diak’s home, otherwise known as Twenty Mile House Concerts.

“Attending these kinds of shows pro-

vides people with a whole new community of friends and new musicians to follow and enjoy,” Diak explained. “Anyone who enjoys music should endeavor to check one of these shows out. It’s amazing how intimate they are and how great a time people have.”

House concerts — where regular people host musicians and other performers at their homes — have been an established option for fans for many years, with word spreading about the shows through word of mouth and/or by dedicated fanbases.

Thanks to social media and easy website creation, it’s never been easier to get the word out about the events and bring in lo-

cal and national performers.

“I gained a real appreciation of this when I saw the connection artists and fans can have at these shows. They bring the whole music community together for just a great night.” Diak, who is also a Parker Town Council member, explained.

“There are some great surprises in store for people who are unaware of all the talent out there nobody knows about. These shows provide a chance for audiences to connect with emerging artists.”

Twenty Mile House Concerts was launched in 2019, and Diak had plans SEE READER, P17

perfect food. He shouts as he moves around the restaurant. He makes a point of telling cooks to stir the rice pudding and add the right ingredients at the right time.

“Everything we do here comes back to me,” he said. “I am all about this business and I am all in.”

Joe Koen, the franchise business consultant for several of Colorado’s Lost Cajun locations, including the Westminster establishment, said he came from south Alabama, and after learning Louisiana cuisine, he understands the importance of love, especially when it comes to the Lost Cajun’s batter.

Serving up a fried plate

of shrimp, catfish and allegator bites, Koen said there is no skipping details when it comes to frying Cajun meat.

“Cajun is all about thought and care,” he said. “Stir the food often and stir it slow.

When you think of a chain restaurant, you think of generic food that does not come close to the real thing. A lot of our processes come form 100-year-old recipes.”

Lost Cajun has locations in Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Westminster.

Some goodies at Lost Cajun include the gator bites and boudin balls. The boudin balls are a classic comfort food, consisting of pork sausage made with rice and seasonings that are stuffed in a casing.

Being from Alabama, Koen is no stranger to alligator, but noted that Cajun cooking Louisiana style makes them

to expand things in 2020, but the pandemic made that a difficult proposition. He was able to host his first outdoor performance in his backyard and sees this as a possible alternative option for music fans as the area comes out of shutdown. He will be hosting singer/songwriter Griffin House at his home at 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 23, and is hoping to bring in more performers this summer as touring for many artists starts back up.

“Some bands and musicians are house concert artists, and others are occasionally happy to play a show like this after playing a larger venue,” Diak said. “Right now, artists don’t have a lot of clarity on what the rules are going to be for performing, so it’s difficult to put a tour together right now. But hopefully these kinds of smaller shows will be a place where audiences can be comfortable and safe.”

Ask a Therapist: Anxiety

Q

: I have anxiety and recently it’s been worse. Between work, parenting, and the pandemic, I feel like I’m always stressed out. Everything is overwhelming, and I’m exhausted. ASK A What can I do to THERAPIST help with this?

Heather Trish A: It does sound like you’re juggling a lot and that can feel overwhelming. Everyone experiences anxiety in their lives, but different factors and situations can influence how often you feel anxious and how intense it feels.

Learning to cope with difficult, stressful situations — whether they are short-lived or don’t have an obvious endpoint - is a great tool in being able to cope in healthy ways.

Here are some ways to approach anxiety when it shows up in your

life.

Identify Your Warning Signswhen you feel anxious you might get racing thoughts and find them hard to stop. Knowing what started the racing can help you recognize when you need to take a step back or what kind of support you might need.

Prioritize Exercise- exercise helps support positive mental health by increasing endorphins which can improve mood and reduce stress. Go for a walk, get outside and move your body in a way that feels good to you. When you’re very anxious, this is often a valuable first step before trying the next two (breathing and mindfulness).

Take Some Deep Breaths grounding exercises are a common technique used to reconnect the mind to the body and calm anxious

thoughts. Practice deep breathing by breathing in through your nose for five seconds, then out through your nose for five seconds five times in a row.

Practice Mindfulness - awareness and mindfulness are great tools to help you regain some of that control and manage emotions.

Activities like yoga and meditation can help with self-soothing.

Get Quality Sleep - sleep is your body’s time to unwind and recharge each day. Adding exercise into your day, building in time for a mental wind-down, and a brief mindfulness exercise can help you get to sleep faster and get better rest each night.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives, but it’s important to recognize if it’s becoming a problem. If you notice that your anxiety is starting to af-

fect your relationships, work-life, or your health, talk with your doctor or mental health professional.

By practicing compassion for yourself and others, you can learn to acknowledge your fears without getting stuck in them.

You are not alone. Reach out to Jefferson Center at 303-425-0300 to speak to a licensed professional counselor or to find resources in your area.

Heather Trish, NCC, LPC, has been a mental health practitioner for nearly 30 years. She is an expert in trauma treatment, treating anxiety and depression, suicide prevention, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity in healthcare, and more. She is currently the Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion & Trauma-Informed Services at Jefferson Center for Mental Health.

Western Welcome Week, other events plan full return Few restrictions expected after mid-May; Fire Muster, concerts to return

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton can expect a summer filled with events and festivals, with everything from the Fire Muster, Littleton Criterium and a full Western Welcome Week planned to go forward.

“I’ve been thinking about it like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon,” said City of Littleton spokesperson Kelli Narde. “Soon everyone who wants a vaccine can get one, the public health orders will be less strict, and people are ready to get out and be together.”

Arapahoe County can expect to see many of the remaining COVID-19 restrictions lifted by mid-May, said Mellissa Sager, the policy and public affairs officer for the Tri-County Health Department.

Despite a recent trend of increasing hospitalizations for COVID-19 — bad enough that Gov. Jared Polis declared Colorado to be in a “fourth wave” of the pandemic — Sager said the county is still on track to be granted “level clear” on the state’s COVID dial on May 16, which would lift virtually all capacity restrictions.

Tri-County has already lifted the outdoor face mask mandate.

“Only if things get drastically worse would we go back to restrictions,” she

Littleton can expect a fun-filled summer, event planners say. The Western Welcome Week Grand Parade, FILE PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT which was canceled last year, is back on in 2021.

said. “We anticipate the severity (of the pandemic) will stay down as folks get vaccinated. Counties will go to level clear and likely stay there.”

Still, Sager encouraged festival planners and attendees to stay smart.

“The more distance people keep and hand sanitizer available, the better,” she said. “A big thing is communicating. Check event websites and see what the rules and expectations are.”

City-run events have a full calendar this year, Narde said, including three Meet Greet & Eat events with city officials, the Littleton Criterium bicycle race in July, and three Little Jam concerts — which will be hosted in different parts of the city this year instead of

Bega Park in downtown.

The Block Party, which typically kicks off summer in early June, won’t be held this year, in lieu of a resumption of Weekends on Main, which shuts down Main Street to through-traffic on weekends for outdoor dining.

The program, which was initially paid for by the City of Littleton during tight restaurant capacity restrictions last summer, was later taken over by the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants (HDLM), which plans to run the show again from May to October.

“We had talked about closing down the street for dining on weekends for years, but it took COVID to make it happen,” said Greg Reinke, who heads HDLM.

Reinke said he plans to incorporate many of the attractions once part of the Block Party, like buskers and street performers, into Weekends on Main.

Reinke encouraged attendees to support downtown merchants, which in many cases have had an even tougher time than restaurateurs.

The Fire Muster, the annual Father’s Day weekend event that brings fire trucks and first responders down Main Street to Arapahoe Community College for a day of demonstrations and games, is back on.

“We’re trying to bring it all together,” said event organizer Paula Wiens. “There are a lot of loose ends, and we’re operating on sort of short notice, but we’ll make

it work.”

What’s not yet known is whether the fire truck parade down Main Street can go forward — that’s dependent on if Weekends on Main can be broken down to make way that Saturday morning. Reinke said he wasn’t yet sure if that would happen.

The Aspen Grove shopping center in south Littleton is planning a variety of events, including the Plein Air Arts Festival and the monthly Paris Street Market, which resumes May 1.

Western Welcome Week, Littleton’s signature annual bash, is expected to come back fully this August, said Cindy Hathaway, the event’s executive director.

“We’re working on everything,” Hathaway said. That includes the Grand Parade, Craft Fair, Taste of Western Welcome Week, Fishing Derby and pig roast.

Last year’s Western Welcome Week was a subdued affair, with only a handful of events held in-person, and the Grand Parade canceled for the first time in the event’s history.

This year’s theme is Together Again, she said.

“People are looking forward to this maybe more than they ever have,” she said. “People last year were disappointed, but understanding. There was nothing we could do. This year is a comeback - a man came up to me the other day and said, ‘I want to pat you on the back for bringing back my Western Welcome Week.’

That struck me - for so many people, it’s their event. Their celebration. Their Littleton.”

Vaccine effort hopes to close gap for minority, low-income areas Colorado targets residents who face barriers to accessing vaccine shots

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even with Colorado’s six mass vaccination sites around the state up and running — and with local health providers also putting shots in arms — state officials knew they needed to go further to reach Coloradans who can’t drive to appointments or set them up online.

That’s why Colorado started organizing what it calls “equity clinics” — and as of mid-April, state officials had worked with more than 100 community organizations in the effort to reach low-income areas, people of color and rural residents, too.

For some communities, barriers to coronavirus vaccination aren’t just economic but can also stem from distrust, Gov. Jared Polis said.

“It is important that people understand some of the legitimate roots of that skepticism, where, inexcusably, Black Americans were experimented on without their permission,” Polis told Colorado Community Media.

That’s a reference to what became known as the Tuskegee syphilis study: In 1972, the As-

Gov. Jared Polis, center, visits a mobile vaccine clinic, an effort supported by state officials to bring vaccinations sites to locations COURTESY OF THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE VIA FACEBOOK around Colorado. The state has two bus routes and was to announce a third soon.

sociated Press broke news that the federal government had let hundreds of Black men in rural Alabama go untreated for syphilis for 40 years for research purposes.

A public outcry ensued, and the study ended three months later, according to the AP. The effects of the study still linger — it’s routinely cited as a reason some Black Americans are

reluctant to participate in medical research, or even go to the doctor for routine check-ups, the AP reported.

But other communities also experience “vaccine hesitancy,” and making vaccination quick and easy is crucial for the state to be able reach “herd immunity,” Polis said. That’s a term for when enough people become immune

that the spread of COVID-19 becomes unlikely, which could happen when around 70% to 80% of people attain immunity.

“That means reaching people where they are, and protecting any Coloradans protects all Coloradans,” Polis said.

VACCINE

When will enough Coloradans be vaccinated?

FROM PAGE 22

Outreach Team — co-chaired by Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of the state public-health department, and Rick Palacio, strategic consultant to the governor — worked to schedule vaccine equity clinics across Colorado in partnership with communitybased organizations, local public health agencies and tribes, according to a news release from the state public-health department.

“One of the data points we use to guide our efforts are targeted census tracts,” Palacio said, using a term for geographic areas. State officials targeted tracts that are below the poverty line and high in minority populations and also worked with organizations that serve those areas.

“Not everyone has a health care home,” and often that includes Black and brown communities, Palacio said.

State officials have partnered with community organizations to host more than 200 clinics across the state, according to Polis’ office.

“They’ve been in church and school parking lots, at local rec centers, and a variety of other locations that community members trust,” said Elizabeth Kosar, a spokeswoman for the governor.

Many of the equity clinics are temporary, and others were ongoing as of late April. Some ongoing locations, according to the governor’s office, include: • Project Angel Heart, an organization that delivers meals to people with life-threatening illnesses, at 4950 N. Washington St. in Denver.

• Bear Valley Branch Library at 5171 W. Dartmouth Ave. in Denver.

• Village Exchange Center, a nonprofit that serves immigrants and refugees in the Denver metro area, at 1609 N. Havana St in Aurora.

• Fort Lupton recreation center at 203 S. Harrison Ave. On top of that, a mobile vaccine clinic program is also helping distribute vaccine shots around Colorado. The mobile vaccine clinics kicked off on April 2, and

Gov. Jared Polis, right, visits a mobile vaccine clinic, an effort supported by state officials to bring vaccinations sites to locations around Colorado.

COURTESY OF THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE VIA FACEBOOK;

SOME MASS VACCINATION SITES NOW ACCEPTING WALK-INS Most Coloradans can access vaccines via local pharmacies, hospitals or the state’s mass vaccination sites. Four of the mass vaccination sites now accept walk-ins — Coloradans no longer need an appointment, according to Gov. Jared Polis’ office.

Those four sites are: • Pueblo County — Colorado State Fairgrounds, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday • Larimer County — The Ranch Events Complex, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday • Denver — Ball Arena, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday through Saturday.

• Mesa County — Grand Junction Convention Center, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

The other sites will accept same-day registrations if appointments are available and haven’t been filled, Polis’ office said. Those other mass vaccination sites are in Adams County at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and in El Paso County at the Broadmoor World Arena. Register for those locations at centura.org/covid-19/ covid-19-vaccine-information/vaccineevents.

Colorado also is served by “mobile vaccine clinics” that travel around the state.

Visit mobilevax.us/clinics to sign up and see a schedule of upcoming clinics. the equity clinics began in January, according to Polis’ office. The state had two bus routes as of late April.

“The mobile vaccine clinics are currently running routes in Northeast and Southern Colorado.

Ralston Valley clinches 5A Jeffco title with win over

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — The girls volleyball Class 5A Jeffco League title is returning to Ralston Valley High School.

The Mustangs — No. 7 in the latest 5A CHSAANow.com rankings — officially wrapped up the conference title with a straight set 25-12, 25-20, 25-14 victory over No. 10 Valor Christian on April 21 at Ralston Valley. It’s first league title for Ralston Valley’s volleyball program since 2015.

“I think it was all excited nerves,” Ralston Valley junior Morgan McChesney said of the Mustangs having the chance to clinch the conference title at home. “We are just super excited to have this opportunity this season to go really far and do something really cool out here.”

Valor and Chatfield had split the past four 5A Jeffco League titles.

Valor won back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019 after Chatfield won two straight in 2016 and 2017.

“It is something we’ve talked. We look at that banner in the corner of the gym frequently and say we are next,” Ralston Valley coach Ashley Ahlman said of the 2015 5A Jeffco League championship banner. “We talk about where they are going to hang our banner. For them to celebrate that tonight and see all their hard work payoff. Not a lot of teams get to set a goal and then come out and earn it. It’s really special.”

It was an outstanding 24 hours for the Mustangs (14-0, 8-0 in 5A Jeffco). Ralston Valley rallied from a 1-0 deficit against Columbine the night before to eventually take a 3-1 victory against the Rebels (10-1, 7-1) with the conference lead on the line.

There was no letdown after the emotional victory against Columbine. It was all Mustangs against the defending 5A state champion Eagles on Wednesday night.

Ralston Valley’s girls volleyball team poses with the Class 5A Jeffco League title plaque on April 21 after the Mustangs defeated PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Valor Christian 3-0. It’s Ralston Valley’s first volleyball conference title since 2015.

“Columbine and Valor are both great teams. We had so much fun playing both of them,” Ralston Valley senior Taylor Scherff said. “We were ready and so excited to play both teams.”

Ralston Valley dominated the first set with junior Jordan Wisner shining with a handful of kills from her right outside-hitter position.

Freshman Maddy Dominick won four straight service points for the Mustangs to stretch out Ralston Valley’s lead to double-digits.

The second set was a little closer.

Valor sophomore Taylor Bowman got the Eagles (7-4, 5-3) going offensively and also had a monster block to help Valor get out to an early lead.

“Out of that timeout there was a

little bit of a wake-up call,” Ahlman said of her timeout she called with Ralston Valley trailing 10-6 in the second set. “Valor wasn’t going to give us anything. Everyone wants to beat that team on top. It proved this team can flip a switch and go into another gear.”

Junior setter Emerson Reinke showed off her creatively with a brilliant dink out of the timeout that caught Valor off guard. Ralston Valley then went on a 7-0 run on Reinke’s serve to take command of the set.

“I think this team is really good job at failure recovery. Volleyball is a game of mistakes,” McChesney Ralston Valley junior Morgan McChesney SEE RALSTON, P26

Golden unable to breakdown organized quarterfinal foe Denver North wins 4A state playoff match

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — Denver North has taken a step toward another shot at winning the school’s first boys soccer state championship title.

The No. 5-seeded Vikings dominated No. 13 Golden in a Class 4A state quarterfinal match Saturday, April 24, at Denver North High School. Seniors Alex Martinez and Aaron Cendejas put in second-half goals for Denver North to give the Vikings a 2-0 victory over the Demons.

“Coming in as an under-

dog a lot of teams don’t take us seriously,” Martinez said. “Sooner or later we’ll get more respect to our name. If not, we are going to make a name for ourselves.”

Denver North has been one of the most consistent 4A boys soccer programs over the past four seasons.

The Vikings have advanced to the state quarterfinals each of the past four years, including a berth in the 4A championship game in 2018. Air Academy defeated Denver North 2-0 a few seasons ago.

Golden (6-5-1 record) never got many scoring chances. The Demons were coming off a first-round SEE GOLDEN, P27

EHS nets a league title Volleyball squad goes 7-1 against conference foes STAFF REPORT

The Evergreen girls volleyball team lost a home game on April 23, but the players were all smiles afterwards.

The reason? After the game the team was awarded the Class 4A Jeffco League championship plaque.

In spite of the loss to Golden, the Cougars had already wrapped up the league title with a 7-1 league record. Even better, winning league guarentees the team (8-4) a ticket to the postseason.

Regional tournament play begins Saturday, May1.

It has been a rollercoaster season for Evergreen. Things started out with three straight losses, including a heartbreaker 3-2 defeat to rival Conifer. But the team followed that off by reeling off seven straight league wins, including a clutch 3-2 victory on the road against Golden on March 25.

Even though Golden won the April 23 game 3 sets to 1, it was the earlier meeting in March that counted toward league play.

The relatively young squad — only three seniors — will face Windsor and Thompson Valley in regional play. The Cougars are the lowest seed in their region, but if they manage to win, the team will

Evergreen’s girls volleyball team was presented the Class 4A Jeffco League plaque April 23 at Evergreen High School. The Cougars dropped a non-league game to Golden, but Evergreen had already locked up the conference title with a 7-1 league record. The league title gives Evergreen an automatic berth into the 4A postseason that begins with regionals tournaments Saturday, May 1.

said. “Once we make a mistake the team really rallies around each other.”

There were few errors for Ralston Valley to close out the third set and the sweep.

McChesney dominated the middle of the net with a handful of kills and a few blocks defensively for good measure.

“It was a normal game tonight. We weren’t super nervous,” Scherff said summing up the regular-

season home finale for Ralston Valley. “We just trust each other so much.

We know at the end of the day we are going to show up, try our hardest and show a lot of effort.”

The Mustangs are in-line to be one of the top-8 seeds that will host regional tournaments Saturday, May 1. During a normal season the top-12 seeds host regionals.

“This year it’s more important than ever,” Ahlman said about hosting a regional. “With only 8 host sites the competition is going to be a little tougher

at regionals. The higher we finish the better.”

Scherff is excited to play a few more matches at Ralston Valley before the Mustangs hopefully head to the state tournament May 12 and 13 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.

“It’s such an advantage playing at home,” Scherff said. “I love our gym. It is home for us. We feel so comfortable here.”

Denver North (11-1) continues its quest for a state title when it faces No. 8 Lewis-Palmer (10-2) in the semifinals Wednesday, April 28, at Legacy Stadium in Aurora.

The Rangers scored a 4-0 victory Saturday against top-seeded Battle Mountain.

The Vikings are two wins away from capturing the school’s first team state championship in any gender or sport since 1977. Denver North’s last state title was the AAA baseball crown 44 years ago.

“It’s not about one player. The whole team is what brings us together,” Martinez said. “Everyone has their own skill set that brings us closer as a team.”

road upset victory against No. 4 Skyview on Thursday, April 22, but couldn’t find their offense against Denver North.

“They did not give us an inch,” Golden coach Larry Harding said of the Vikings. “They are technical. They have a very good team.

Our boys played as hard as they could. Denver North is just the better team.”

Harding graduates a dozen seniors and he won’t get much time to reflect on the season.

Harding turns around Monday with tryouts as the head coach for Golden’s girls soccer team.

Despite being a scoreless game through the first half, Denver North controlled the run of play and coach Clay Porter knew if his team stuck to its game the goals would eventually come against Golden.

“These guys have been doing this for four years now,” Porter said. “I put club teams together so these guys can play year-round together. The style we play gets everyone involved. I think that gets everyone more excited to play.”

Martinez brought the excitement with a goal in the 47th minute to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead.

Junior Ian Najar fed a long pass ahead as instructed by Martinez.

“I noticed that (Golden’s) back line was pushing up and leaving a wide gap,” Martinez said. “I told my center back Ian to play my through. I was able to control it and volleyed it into the side of the net. It gave us the momentum we needed and we finished off strong.”

Martinez, along with fellow seniors Axel Ruiz and Cendejas combined to make it a 2-goal lead in the 61st minute. Martinez fired a pass to Ruiz, who found Cendejas open in front of the Demons’ net. Cendejas tucked the ball into the back of the net for the final goal of the game.

“We talk about composure a lot,” Martinez said. “Calming down and finishing. We took that into the second half. We slowed things

Award.

The award, named for an influential University of Alaska educator who passed away in 2014, was created to honor problem-solving and innovation among community colleges in the western United States.

According to the college’s press release, RRCC was selected for its “inventive and creative plan for how a Spring 2020 theatre history class would respond to a theater closure during a pandemic as artistic directors/producers.”

The release said Dorothy Welty, RRCC dean of instruction, submitted “Building Bridges in the

Dark: Actions that Held Together a Theater Department in a Pandemic” to the alliance after seeing Kelly Jo Eldredge, department chair of theatre arts and dance, empower her students to translate their vision into action in their very own project.

Welty and Eldredge accepted the award on behalf of RRCC and the announcement was made at the Forum and Alliance 2020-21 Virtual Meeting Series on April 9.

“We were so thrilled when we heard Dorothy had submitted our department for this award,” said Eldredge. “Dorothy is always such a champion of the work we do in Theatre Arts and Dance. This past year has been an incredible and creative learning experience for both students and staff in the department. Our students deserve all the credit for coming up with fantastic ideas and carrying them through to production.”

Red Rocks Community College has the only fully developed two-year theatre arts program in performance, production and the-

atre technology in Colorado. The program offers courses leading to an associate of arts in theatre arts and an associate of applied science in theatre technology.

The school also offers unique certificates in technical theatre, costuming, stage makeup, choreography, musical theatre, and writing for the stage and screen.

In addition, the Theatre Arts and Dance Department at RRCC engages in numerous partnership projects, both on campus and within the community.

The alliance, founded in 2010, is a membership organization based at the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education and is one of four U.S. higher education regional compacts established by Congress in 1953.

In receiving the Bernice Joseph Award, RRCC’s theatre department gains recognition among the alliance member institutions located in the WICHE region encompassing 16 state and territorial members for their ‘Ghost Light Theater’ 2020 summer project.

One of two suspects in custody after carjacking spree

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One suspect is in custody after three attempted carjackings occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning in northwestern Arvada. The carjackings began at 2:50 a.m. on April 24 and continued until shortly after 7 a.m., when Arvada Police officers apprehended one of the two suspects.

No major injuries occurred during the spree, but one victim was left with non-life-threatening injuries after being hit with the suspect’s car in the third attempted carjacking.

The Arvada Police believe that two people are behind the carjackings, but only found one suspect in the car stopped shortly after the final incident, according to APD Public Relations Officer Dave Snelling.

The first attempted carjacking occurred at 2:50 a.m. on the 7300 block of West 73rd Avenue, where two suspects in a stolen brown Kia Soul attempted to break into a truck.

The suspects fired a gun and left the area. No injuries were reported, and APD responded to the gunshot shortly thereafter.

At 6:42 a.m., the brown Kia Soul was reported as being driven by the

suspects in a vehicle theft on the 7500 block of Pierce Street, where a Hyundai Elantra was stolen.

At 7:05 a.m., the suspects — now in the brown Kia Soul and the newly-stolen Hyundai Elantra — attempted to break into a third vehicle in the 8100 block of Kline Street.

The vehicle owner confronted the suspects and was hit by one of the suspect’s cars, sustaining non-lifethreatening injuries. Snelling said the victim was not in the hospital as of Saturday morning.

Shortly after the third attempted carjacking, the suspects abandoned the Kia Soul. APD officers located the Hyundai Elantra in the 7400 block of West 84th Way and pursued, performing a PIT maneuver near Sheridan Boulevard and I-70. One suspect fled on foot and was apprehended by APD officers.

He was later identified as 28 year old Nicholas Robert Trujillo, and arrested on 12 charges which include possession of a controlled substance, two counts of aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, menacing and attempted vehicular assault.

The Arvada Police Department says it is still seeking the second suspect.

“They left behind a lot of evi-

dence,” said Snelling. “We’ll be processing the vehicles and the scene and completing our investigation. (Carjacking is an) ongoing problem that we’ve dedicated a lot

of resources to.”

Snelling added that the violent nature of the suspect’s conduct in the carjackings elevates the danger of the crimes to the community.
