Jeffco lends a hand against fires and hurricanes

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County may have so far been spared from the recent natural disasters wreaking havoc throughout Colorado and elsewhere in the country, but that hasn’t stopped the county from getting involved in the effort to respond to them.

With major wildfires erupting around the state, both the West Metro Fire Protection District, which covers significant portions of Jefferson and Douglas County, and the Arvada Fire Protection District have sent personnel to join the firefighting efforts.

West Metro Fire Protection District Public Information Officer Rhonda Scholting said that as of Aug. 27 the agency had three firefighters deployed to the Cameron Peak Fire near Fort Collins.

“For the West Metro crew here, they’re working the night shift and staying in a spike camp (a secondary camp further out from the main camp) in Poudre Canyon,” said Scholting. “They do not have much in the way of cell service.”

According to a Facebook post from the agency, the team assigned to the Cameron Peak Fire is a rapid extraction team consisting of wildland fire

to Early Childhood Councils, which work to support young children and their families by building local early childhood systems. The Colorado Children’s Campaign, a nonprofit nonpartisan advocacy organization, estimated before the bill was signed that the state was at risk of losing 55% of its pre-pandemic child care supply without public investment.

“It turned out, the most beneficial way we could use our energy and voice was by working on (supporting) legislation that creates more

For the second time in six years, Lakewood voters will determine the fate of retail marijuana in the city.

Lakewood City Council voted in favor of sending a citizen-initiated ordinance to adopt regulations governing retail marijuana stores and retail marijuana cultivation facilities in the city at an Aug. 24 council meeting. The ordinance, carried out by the proponent Vote Yes for a Stronger Lakewood, a campaign aimed at legalizing recreational marijuana in the city, garnered 6,671 valid signatures and was submitted to the Lakewood City Clerk’s Office on June 2.

The Vote Yes for a Stronger Lakewood group is partially funded by Ascend Cannabis, a marijuana company, Westword reported. Scott Embree, owner of Ascend Cannabis, said in a statement that Lakewood residents who are purchasing adult-use marijuana are going to Denver, Edgewater and other surrounding communities to do so. He said Ascend Cannabis estimates that Lakewood is losing millions of tax dollars to other communities because Lakewood residents are going to those communities for marijuana.

“As Lakewood works to bounce back from COVID-19 we need to keep those millions in Lakewood and use it to improve our streets and grow parks and

“They will be ready to respond if firefighters are injured and need to be rescued from steep, inaccessible terrain,” the post read.

Scholting said West Metro had also sent other personnel that had worked in non-frontline roles—two as communications technicians and

two as medical unit leaders that had since returned home. West Metro had also had a crew at the Williams Creek Fire in Pueblo County.

myself. I can do solo things, and I can do climbs with other people. If people don’t want to do it or can’t do it, it doesn’t stop me.

Morrison mountain climber and author About me Before I moved out to Morrison a few years ago, I spent 30 years teaching at Longwood University in Virginia.

I taught outdoor and environmental education. It’s essentially teaching students how to teach others how to protect the environment, how to appreciate it and more.

When you go to a national park, you’ll find rangers who take people out on trails and teach them things about the environment. That’s what I did. I also taught backpacking and a variety of other subjects that had to do with the outdoors because my passion is for the outdoors.

I love to climb mountains and climbed my first one in 1977. That unearthed something in my soul, and it ignited a passion that I had never experienced before.

I recently climbed Mt.

Princeton in Nathrop and last October I climbed Island Peak, which stands at 20,300 feet in Nepal. I did that one with a former student who is 30 years younger than me.

Next year, I’m hoping to climb the Matterhorn, a mountain that is part of the Alps. It’s a classic, fun climb, and I’m not getting any younger.

I’ve done enough 14ers by

Reaching your summit After I came back from Nepal, I started to write my book “Achieving Your Potential: 15 Empowering Steps to Reach Each Summit.”

I use the metaphor of mountain summits as potential. Those mountain summits can be a desire, a calling goal, something you’re working toward and other things in your life. I outline the 15 steps in how to get there. The 15 steps are the 15 chapters of the book.

The first chapter starts from the beginning and focuses on how you identify your summit. There are people who want to identify their summit, but they just haven’t uncovered or unearthed it yet. I outline how to identify your summit and what you’re looking for. Then, the book looks at your purpose, your vision and moves on to how you plan, prepare and move toward where you want to be

until you get your summit.

Business adventure coach I’ve climbed a lot of mountains over my lifetime. I continue to do that because I get so much inspiration and growth. It’s a benefit to how I run my business and how I communicate to others.

I identify myself as a business adventure coach. My clients involve business owners, educators and adventure enthusiasts, and I work with them to reach their full potential and desired goals.

I’m not seeking people who necessarily climb mountains and do crazy outdoor adventures. Instead, I’m looking for people who have that spirit of adventure, who want to take risks, who want to step out into the unknown and who don’t mind getting out of their comfort zone. As a coach, those are the people who I shine best with. That’s what I mean by an adventure coach.

County launches testing site, response office as COVID-19 numbers improve

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeffco Public Health’s Executive Director has announced two new steps the agency is taking to improve its long term COVID-19 response and recovery efforts.

The first is the creation of a new Office of Pandemic Response, which is being funded with Federal CARES Act dollars. JCPH Executive Director Mark B. Johnson said some of the staff members in the new office will be freshlyhired case investigators and contact tracers, allowing many JCPH employees who had been handling those roles to get back to their usual jobs.

The second step is the creation of a new testing site at the Mile Hi Church in Lakewood.

“This new site is designed to meet the needs of our Latinx community who have been unfortunately disporportionately impacted by the virus and it will offer bilingual registration and other supports,” said Johnson.

Those new activities come as Jefferson County’s COVID-19 outlook continues to brighten. During a telephone town hall held on Aug. 24, Johnson said the county’s rates of new COVID-19 cases, new COVID-19 hospitalizations and COVID-19 deaths are all continuing to decline.

“All of those are numbers that are going down and that is a good sign for what we are dealing with right now,” said Johnson.

Looking good In the two weeks prior to the town hall, there had been 317 new cases of COVID-19 in Jeffco, which put it well under the threshold of 580-or-fewer cases in a two-week period necessary to maintain the variance from state rules that allows for more people to occupy certain spaces and businesses then would otherwise be allowed under state rules.

However, that number still remained higher than the threshold of 290-orfewer new cases in a two-week period.

That is one of several benchmarks Jeffco must meet to apply to move into the “protect-our-neighbors” phase of Colorado’s reopening plan. That phase would allow a further loosening of restrictions.

Jeffco is meeting other benchmarks, including keeping test positivity under five percent.

But other Denver metro area counties will also likely need to be generally meeting those thresholds before Jeffco is able to advance to protectyour-neighbor due to the amount of linkage between residents of the counties, Johnson said.

“Once all or at least most of the counties in the Denver metro area are down in that protect our neighbor phase I believe we will be getting back once more to normal,” Johnson said.

During the town hall, JCPH COVID-19 Incident Commander Christine Billings also discussed the current status of the county’s case investigation SEE COVID, P3

Arrests made in Lakewood Walmart shooting Two teenagers are accused of shooting and killing two young brothers STAFF REPORT

Two minors have been arrested in connection to a shooting outside a Walmart at Colfax and Wadsworth in Lakewood that left two teenage brothers dead.

The suspects are a 17-year-old from Denver and a 16-year-old from Commerce City — both of whom were arrested on suspicion of firstdegree murder. Since the suspects are juveniles, no other information

about them is being released right now, according to a news release from Lakewood Police.

On Aug. 23 at around 8:22 p.m., police were called to the area of 7455 W. Colfax Ave. where they found 18-yearold Damian Wikoff and 17-year-old Dillon Wikoff suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. They were taken to local hospitals where they later died from their injuries. The victims were brothers, and Lakewood Police say the shooting doesn’t appear to be random.

The suspects were arrested by Lakewood Police and the U.S. Marshals Colorado Violent Offender Task Force.

Police are still investigating the shooting, and if anyone has any additional information on the case, call the Lakewood Police tip line at 303-763-6800.

and contact tracing efforts. She said contact tracers are generally reaching out to those who have tested positive within 24 hours of receiving their test and it generally takes another 24 hours for them to conduct contact tracing calls with anyone they have been in contact with.

Flu season a concern Margaret Huffman, a director at JCPH, also said JCPH is recommending residents get the flu vaccine as early as possible, preferably in September or October.

“This year it’s more important than ever because we will be having competing illnesses that mimic each other in many ways circulating at the same time,” said Huffman.

Any Talk About Affordable Housing Should Include Mobile Homes Mobile or “manufactured” homes are the original and enduring form of affordable housing. You see them in rural and, as workforce housing, near resort communities, but you also see them in the Denver metro area.

Five mobile home parks are within two miles of our Golden real estate office.

More than 100,000 people live in over 900 mobile home parks across Colorado. If our goal as a society is to preserve and expand affordable housing, we must protect and even expand mobile home ownership.

But there are problems.

Mobile home owners pay upwards of $100,000 for their homes (mostly preowned), but they have to rent lot space in a park. I was told that zoning laws in Jefferson County (and probably elsewhere) don’t allow a mobile home not in a mobile home park.

Increasingly, mobile home parks are owned by big national corporations whose only interest is maximizing profit.

Because it is financially prohibitive to move a mobile home, and you can only move it to another park, the park owner has the home owner over a barrel. They can increase the rent as much and as often as they want and the owner has to pay it or be evicted. Until the passage of HB19-1309 by the Colorado General Assembly last May, which strengthened the Mobile Home Park Act, a homeowner (who the courts treat as a tenant) had 48 hours to vacate for non-payment of rent, and if they left the home in place, it became the property of the park owners. Now they have 10 days to cure a notice of rent past due and then have 30 days to vacate, but the problem persists — you either pay or you surrender ownership of your home.

Now that mobile homes can be listed

Just Listed: Patio Home in Gated Lakewood Subdivision This beautifully updated patio home at 9695 W. LaSalle Ave. offers maintenance-free living.

It’s on a cul-de-sac at the back of the Primrose Above Bear Creek gated subdivision just east of Kipling Street and north of Yale Avenue. This is not an age restricted (55+) subdivision, but most of these homes are occupied by seniors who appreciate main-floor living and not having to mow $530,000 or water their lawns. This 2-story home has a main-floor master suite and a second master suite upstairs, along with a huge loft overlooking the living room with its vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace and sliding glass door to the fenced backyard. A third bedroom and 3/4 bath are in the fully finished basement. The eat-in kitchen features Silestone countertops and sink, and newer stainless steel appliances.

Austin CO Home on 10 Acres Just Listed by Kim Taylor Looking for space to make your dreams come true! How does 9.96 acres with irrigation water, a custom built home with attached 2-car garage, and a finished garage/shop sound?

This quality home with central A/C was custom built for comfortable entertaining and rivals off grid efficiency. With patios on the east and west sides and solid wood doors and windows, you can enjoy views and nature from inside or out.

in the MLS, I found 11 such homes in the metro area that are active, pending or have closed in the past 6 months. Rents range from a low of $7,500 to a high of $10,920 per year. Many of the homes couldn’t be sold for that much and are depreciating every year, unlike “regular” homes, which appreciate.

A mobile home, by the way, is not real estate and can only be on the MLS if it is on owned land or has a land lease.

Mobile homes are titled with the Department of Motor Vehicles, and yet they are taxed as “real property” by the county assessor rather than via “ownership tax” from the DMV, as with automobiles.

The property tax on those 11 listings ranged from $142 to $803 per year.

Although last year’s legislation created a complaint resolution process for mobile home owners, it is not utilized as much as it could be, because residents are fearful of retaliation by management.

If you get on the wrong side of management, you face increased enforcement and fines which are added to rent. Don’t pay the full rent, and you’ll be evicted.

And you thought HOAs were difficult!

once a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, Johnson said he would not.

“I cannot speak to what the Federal or state government will do in the future but I will not be a part of a plan to force any immunization of COVID-19 on the public at large,” said Johnson.

Johnson also said criticism against JCPH for allegedly hiding the fact that vast majority of COVID-19 deaths are in people over 60 (more than 90% of Jeffco deaths). He said the breakdown of COVID-19 deaths by age has long been available on the county website.

“We are not trying to scare anybody we are trying to educate people and let them know what is going on so I don’t know what else we could do other then get that information out in our news releases and our website,” he said.

“I cannot take responsibility for what Fox News or MSNBC may be doing as far as bringing fear into the communities but here in Jeffco doing our best get info out there so we can see it make decisions based on that.”

Open Houses Are Back — Here Are the Rules We Must Follow

Open houses must follow state guidelines for indoor events. We are to maintain 6-foot distancing among visitors and ensure proper ventilation. Face coverings are required. We ask arriving visitors if they have had any symptoms or been in contact with any known positive cases. If so, we deny entry.

that her agency currently had five firefighters deployed to Colorado forest fires. That total included a team of three that were deployed with one of the agency’s brush trucks to the Grizzly Creek Fire near Glenwood Springs and two Battalion Chiefs at the Cameron Peak Fire.

The current Brush crew at the Grizzly Creek Fire was sent to relieve another crew that had been at the fire for 14 days, the longest a fire crew is al-

lowed to remain at a forest fire.

Tanker Base Above and beyond the ground crews, Jeffco has also played another important role in Colorado’s wildfire fight: providing the air base where dozens of planes have been prepped before departing to dump fire retardant on the fire.

On August 19, the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield posted on Facebook that tankers had flown more than 100 missions from the US Forest Service Jeffco Air Tanker Base during the prior week.

Although the airport has

a Broomfield address, it is located on the northernmost edge of Jefferson County and has carried Jefferson County’s name since it was established in 1983. It is managed by the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland.

Ben Miller, the airport development coordinator for Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, said the tankers are contracted by fire agencies and come to the airport to be loaded up with fire retardant which they then drop on the fires.

“For us, we are just happy to provide a safe runway space and be able to host them as

West Metro firefighters on the scene of the Cameron Peak fire.

West Metro’s crew worked at night and employed a strategy of lighting a “control line” fire along a barrier ahead of the fire to consume the fuel for the forest fire before it could reach it to help gain control of the fire.

COURTESY OF WEST METRO FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT they do this important job,” Miller said.

Hurricane Response While some Jeffco firefighters were on the ground at those fires, others were preparing to travel to a tragedy much farther afield. On Aug. 26, West Metro Fire tweeted that 80 members of Colorado Task Force 1 (CO-TF1) were getting on the road to Texas, to help with search and rescue efforts in the wake of Hurricane Lauren.

The task force, which is one of 28 FEMA Search and Rescue teams in the nation, is sponsored by West Metro,

consists of members of fire agencies from across Colorado, including five Arvada firefighters. As the storm drew closer to the gulf coast, the team was instead ordered to Shreveport, Louisiana.

Harrington said that when it comes to determining how many resources to send to disaster areas, an agency must always remain mindful of its primary purpose.

“We’ve always got to balance our desire to help with our need to make sure we have resources for our community,” Harrington said.

“That has to be our number one priority.”

Residents call for Lakewood’s inclusivity signs to be put back up City Council reaches consensus to explore sign replacement

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been more than four months since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis Police — a moment that sparked Black Lives Matter protests throughout the country, including in Lakewood.

And even though some protests have died down, Lakewood activists are still standing on the streets holding signs to show support for their Black neighbors every Tuesday evening. The protests have been peaceful and have seen an average of 50 residents participating in different areas of the city, including in Belmar.

“We’re committed to having this not be a moment in time where a tragic thing happens, and we all get upset and protest and have a fundraiser and go back to life like it was before. We can’t turn back,” said Christopher Arlen, a Black Lakewood resident who has attended every Lakewood Black Lives Matter protest since May. “We have to keep this issue front and center for people.”

One of the changes Arlen and Zenat Shariff Belkin, who has organized the Lakewood protests through the Lakewood for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion group, have been advocating for

the city to make is to hang back up entrance signs to the city that read “Welcome. We are building an inclusive community.”

Lakewood City Council took a step toward granting Arlen’s and Belkin’s request when it reached a consensus at an Aug. 24 meeting to carry out a process to hang the signs back up so that a finalized plan can be presented to council and decided upon in a future council meeting.

New entry signs were installed throughout Lakewood in late 2018 and early 2019 as part of a citywide effort to support and improve a sense of the city’s character and distinctiveness as well as to make it easier for the public and community members to find their way to important city facilities and to know when they are within Lakewood limits, Stacie Oulton, a spokesperson for the city, wrote in an email.

Arlen said that before he was a Lakewood resident, him and his husband would drive to the city to attend church every Sunday. He remembers seeing the signs and said he’s never seen such a strong value sign to mark a city entrance.

“It says something good about Lakewood. It’s a decent and noble value statement about who we are as a community and what we’re striving for,” said Arlen.

Shariff Belkin said she is amazed by the Lakewood for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion group that she called a community centered on diversity and shared values.

The long-awaited review of a soil study examining the safety of planned Jefferson Parkway construction was presented to the Arvada City Council on Aug. 24.

With the review came a verdict from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) that the proposed project is safe.

Bill Ray, executive director of the Jefferson Parkway Public Highway Authority (JPPHA) — the entity planning the Jefferson Parkway, a proposed toll road through northwest Arvada — presented the findings with Jennifer Opila, director of the Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division of the CDPHE. “We are confident that construction of the parkway is not going to produce a risk to a parkway construction worker or a resident that would need to be under regulatory control,” Opila said. “There is a very small possibility that there could be something out there that would be discovered during parkway construction and if that were the case, then there are already agreements in place between the Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency and the state health department to basically stop all activities when anything like that occurs and to evaluate what the situation is.”

JPPHA launched the study in May 2019 to ensure the proposed route, specifically the portion of the route that runs adjacent to the site of the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapon Plant, was safe. Active from 1952 to 1989, the plant was shut down by the federal government after leaks, fires and other incidents caused plutonium to contaminate the site’s soil.

The site was cleaned up by the early 2000s. But numerous community members have spoken against the Jefferson Parkway’s proximity to Rocky Flats, believing the construction could stir up particles of plutonium that were left behind after the cleanup and put members of the public at a greater risk for developing cancer.

The JPPHA has sought to ease these concerns with its study. The study tested about 250 samples from about 2.5 miles of land, Ray said.

Three months after the study got underway, the JPPHA reported to CDPHE that a soil sample had tested for 264 pCi/g (picocuries per gram) of plutonium. Based on a government-established safety measure, soil should contain no more than 50 pCi/g of the substance.

In the original testing of the soil sample, only a portion of the sample was tested, CDPHE’s Lindsay Masters told Colorado Community Media in a previous interview. Masters is the agency’s environmental protection specialist.

A second test on a different portion of the sample found less than 2 pCi/g of plutonium.

Even so, potential environmental concerns, in addition to other concerns, were enough to spark Broomfield city councilmembers to unanimously vote to withdraw from JPPHA in February. Broomfield has

been one of three entities involved in JPPHA, alongside Arvada and Jefferson County.

Meanwhile, throughout the remainder of the study, no other samples were found to have plutonium levels above or close to the established safety levels of 50 pCi/g. In October, the CDPHE announced that a batch of 25 samples in the area all tested for less than 4 pCi/g.

Even so, when the CDPHE created its review of the report, it ran a “worst-case scenario,” Opila said.

In other words, the CDPHE ran the numbers for a hypothetical scenario in which particles with that higher rate of 264 pCi/g were imagined to be scattered throughout the entire testing site.

Even in that scenario, construction workers would be exposed to a radiation dose measured at 11.52 milligrams per year. Opila said regulatory intervention begins only for areas where nearby individuals would face a minimum exposure level of 25 milligrams per year, more than two times the level construction workers would face in the so-called worst-case scenario.

Opila added that nearby residents, in that same scenario, would only face a dose of 2.6 milligrams per year.

Councilmembers had several questions, particularly about the depth of the soil sampling process.

Ray said that while the vast majority of samples were taken within the top two inches of the soil, a handful, or about six to 10, were taken at “various depths.”

Opila said the CDPHE approved of this methodology because “the historic literature on the windblown contamination that exists within the refuge and the parkway transportation corridor shows that it is primarily in the first couple of inches in the soil.” Further, “even if there was higher concentrations at a lower depth, we believe our modeling actually takes that into consideration.”

The majority of councilmembers did not weigh in one way or the other about the study’s findings.

But councilmember David Jones, who is also the chairman of the JPPHA board, said he found that the findings reinforced other studies that have been conducted in the Rocky Flats area.

“For me, having grown up and here and seen Rocky Flats while it was in its active state and then through the shutdown, it’s good to know that the studies have been reinforced,” he said, “and we continue to see that there’s no great danger or harm as long as you stay out of that operable unit area,” or the central, off-limits portion of the Rocky Flats site.

JPPHA has been waiting to go forward with several items of business until the soil study findings could be reviewed by the CDPHE. Now, the next step for the parkway is to negotiate the terms of Broomfield’s withdrawal from the authority, Ray said in an email.

“Once that matter is resolved, the county and Arvada will have to make a determination about how to proceed,” he said.

The city of Arvada’s communications manager, Ben Irwin, said negotiations between the three parties had not yet begun as of Aug. 27 but are expected to begin soon.

Students at Foster Elementary practice their reading and speaking skills through the Dual Language program last year.

Foster kicks off first year as dual language option school Principal says dual language plans underway in spite of COVID-19 hurdles

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At Foster Dual Language PK-8 in Arvada, the new school year means more than navigating remote learning and COVID-19 procedures. 2020-2021 is the first academic year that the school will run as a dual language option school after receiving approval from the Board of Education last November.

Formerly a neighborhood school, Foster has had a dual language program since 2004, said principal Leigh Hiester. The program has served kindergartners through sixth graders who would like to become bilingual and biliterate, assisting native English speakers in learning Spanish and native Spanish speakers in learning English.

Historically, and this year, about 50% of the program’s students have been native English speakers and 50%, native Spanish speakers.

“Starting our first year as a dual language option school and as a PK-8, this creates a new pathway for kids,” Hiester said. “I’m excited to see educationally what this year brings.”

Through the program, all students receive about 50% of their daily instruction in Spanish and 50% in English. For each subject, a teacher might teach that subject in English one day and Spanish the next; or, the teacher might teach the subject in English for several weeks before switching to Spanish, depending on the grade level.

“They’re just constantly assimilating that into their everyday routine,” said Kimberly Benage, who has four children who attend Foster.

The native English speakers have learned Spanish not only from class, but also through small interactions during the day, with staff speaking to them in Spanish during class activities or in the lunch line, she said.

“Life is happening in Spanish, it’s not just that you’re being taught Spanish,”

she said. “Knowing what a challenge it was for me to learn Spanish in adulthood, I was hoping we could give that gift to our kids now. All our kids are really thriving in the environment there.”

With the majority of Foster students opting into the dual language program, Hiester said that over the past several years, she and the community sought ways to make students’ experiences even more beneficial. Namely, Hiester wanted to find a way to extend the program into students’ middle school years — previously, Foster only went up to the sixth grade.

“We tried to continue the program in various ways through different middle schools and it really just was a struggle,” Hiester said. “So we decided to go for it and do something that no other school in the history of Jeffco has done, going from a neighborhood to an option.”

Last year, Foster added a seventhgrade class. This year, in line with its transition to an option school, it has added an eighth-grade class as well.

Karla Hernandez, a parent who has one current Foster student and two Foster graduates, highlighted the importance of this switch, saying that local middle schools often only offer early-level Spanish classes. This previously left seventh-graders who graduated from Foster without any options for a Spanish class in which they could grow, Hernandez said.

The family just recently moved about 25 minutes away from the school, but Hernandez said she still has plans to keep her third-grader in the school.

“Even though I’m a native Spanish speaker, I wouldn’t be able to teach all the grammar rules they learn from Foster,” she said. “And also, we feel like family there. As a Spanish mom, I feel very comfortable with all of the other parents. The English speakers have always wanted to learn about the culture and vice versa.”

As it transitions into being a full dual language school, 2020-2021 will be the last year in which Foster holds courses for students that are taught exclusively in English. This year, Hiester estimated that about 30 students SEE FOSTER, P13

Please: Stop, quit, desist, cease. Enter rehab. Borrow a pair of handcuffs from me.

I know why it’s done and who is likely to do it: preachers, proselytizers and politicians.

Certain professions think it helps to sell products.

I’ve heard some nationalities are more inclined than others.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Not so fast mask doubter The statistics for COVID-19 positive tests, hospitalizations, and deaths in Colorado are within the guidelines recommended by state and national guidelines. This indicates that wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands/using hand sanitizer have had a positive influence in controlling the spread of coronavirus in Jeffco and Colorado.

The virus is not spreading on its own, or not because its summer as some people predicted. It’s staying under control because our public health departments and Governor Polis have made decisions that, some citizens don’t agree with, but have been impactful.

We need to celebrate our state government leaders and public health departments in making hard decisions to get this novel coronavirus positive positivity rate under 5%. Other than your anecdotal assumptions what proof do you have that masks don’t work? What expertise do you have to determine the efficacy of using masks?

We can win this battle if we resolve to discipline ourselves to wearing masks and using other safe practices.

Re-elect Zenzinger I’m voting for state Senator RachelZenzingerthis November, and here’s why.

First, Rachel has worked hard to find creative ways to fund education. Examples include a bill she sponsored to expand adult education and another to give college credit for work experience. She is a teacher when she’s not a legislator, and she brings a deep understanding of what should be prioritized in Colorado’s school system.

Next, Rachel serves in a leadership position on the Joint Budget Committee, which requires bi-partisan agreement to balance our budget every year. This was incredibly difficult in 2020, since revenues declined steeply because of COVID-19 and many heartbreaking budget cuts had to be made. It will be even harder next year, and we need someone with Rachel’s expertise and experience.

Finally, I’ve known Rachel for years. I first met her when she knocked on our door to introduce herself several years ago.

Since then she’s been amazingly responsive when I reach out about legislation, she’s welcomed my friends and me when we visited her at the Capitol, and she’s served her district with a mindset of fiscal responsibility, expertise, and compassionate leadership.

Please join me and vote for Rachel this November.

Take a stand against PPP taxation

A

s if things weren’t hard enough for Colorado’s small businesses, news comes that the Trump administration plans to claw GUEST back a chunk COLUMN of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds that legitimate businesses have used as a lifeline to keep their employees on the payroll.

When ConBrett Wesner gress passed PPP, the legislation made it clear that these loans would ultimately be forgiven if businesses used them for approved purposes, mostly payroll. And, the law ensured — in writing — that any forgiven amounts would not be taxable, meaning that businesses could use all those funds to keep folks employed.

More than 13,300 Colorado businesses, including this newspaper, signed up in good faith, secure in the knowledge that if they used those funds as Congress intended, they would be forgiven and not taxed. This program helped support or create approximately 900,000 jobs in Colorado state, according to the Small Business Administration.

Well, Congress may have said one thing, but President Trump’s Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, has other ideas. According to the Treasury Department, forgiven funds may not be taxable, but the payroll businesses paid with those funds can no

longer be considered a business expense.

Now, we don’t know Mr. Mnuchin personally, but our guess is that, as Treasury secretary, he probably knows something about math: Disallowing businesses from claiming that payroll as an expense is the same thing as taxing the forgiven loan.

Which means that Colorado’s small businesses are going to get hit with a huge surprise tax bill, but most won’t know it until — wait for it — after the November election! Surprise!

Now some members of the U.S. Senate weren’t amused by this little “Lucy with the football” tomfoolery. Sen. John Cornyn, RTexas, has led a fight in the Senate to tell the Treasury Department that they meant what they said: the forgiven loans should not be taxable, including through the back door. Other senators are worried about the “optics” of standing up for small businesses, if you can imagine.

Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner was an early supporter of a bill Sen. Cornyn introduced (S. 3612) to fix the problem.

Treasury cannot be allowed to override Congress’ promise to our small business community.

This is a very important election and my hope is that everyone eligible to vote will vote. We now have someone in the White House that I think lies, bullies,throws nasty hurtful names out to good respectful people, is racist, invites violence (and I could go on and on).

Be mindful when you vote that we don’t have four more years of a egocentric President.

Mary Hamilton Arvada Replying to Wesner on PPP So the PPP loan which is used for payroll is forgiven. Forgiveness of a loan is ordinarily a taxable event but under the law the PPP transaction does not result in a tax bill. Now you want to deduct the payroll paid with the tax free money to get a second tax break? I don’t think that was ever the intent, nor do I think it is fair to

open space. In the time of declining sales tax revenue to the city, we hope Lakewood residents will support this ballot initiative and keep Lakewood’s tax dollars in Lakewood,” Embree said in the statement.

If the ordinance is passed by voters on Nov. 3, it will allow for 10 existing medical marijuana dispensaries in Lakewood to sell recreational marijuana to adults ages 21 and older from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

One of those shots, Ascend Cannabis at W. Alameda Ave., estimates that retail marijuana sales could generate $3 million to $5 million each year for the city.

The bordering cities of Wheat Ridge and Denver both allow recreational marijuana sales, though unincorporated Jefferson County does not.

Per city code, Lakewood City Council had the option of either adopting the ordinance or sending it to voters, like what it did with the city’s growth

cap, which was passed by voters in July of 2019 and limits new home construction to 1% of Lakewood’s current housing stock. Lakewood City Council voted 10-0 in favor of sending the retail marijuana ordinance to voters. “(I) certainly think there is some measure tone to this, and it’s smartly written, and I certainly hope the community will engage and have conversations,” Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul said at the Aug. 24 meeting.

In 2014, Lakewood citizens voted 54.9% to 45.1% to ban retail marijuana sales in the city. Medical marijuana dispensaries are legal in Lakewood, but permits are currently not issued for new dispensaries.

“Here we are (six years) later and some citizens have asked that this be reconsidered, apparently thinking that maybe the citizens have changed their mind. Well, I for one do not want to try to guess or override what the citizens decided (six) years ago, and I think the only way we can know if they have changed their mind is give them a chance to weigh in at the ballot box,” Lakewood City Councilmember Mike Bieda said at the meeting.

There’s a new M on campus Mines modifies tradition to welcome new students amidst pandemic STAFF REPORT

With COVID-19 preventing School of Mines incoming freshman from completing their traditional climb to the M that overlooks Golden, the school instead brought the M to them.

On Friday, Aug. 28, the school hosted during which students were invited to add the rock each Mines freshman is asked to bring to a campus to a new temporary rock M constructed on campus near the school’s intramural fields.

According to an article produced by the school, the class of 2024 was divided into cohorts of about 30 to 50 students. Each group was then assigned a time to gather to spray paint their hard hats (another Mines tradition) before embarking on a tour of campus with the 10-pound rocks they were asked to bring from home in-hand.

A Colorado School of Mines freshman holds a rock she brought from home to add to the new temporary M that was constructed on campus on Aug. 21.

That tour ended at the sight of the new M, where the new Orediggers painted their rocks with cups of whitewash and

placed them in the temporary construction where they will stay until they can be relocated to the M on Mount Zion.

‘Golden stands with black lives’ banner coming to arch Council also passed resolution committing city to antiracism actions

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Golden City Council has voted to place a banner proclaiming the city of Golden’s support of Black people on the Golden welcome arch.

According to a resolution passed 6-1 by the council on Aug. 27, the banner will display text stating “Golden stands with Black lives” and hang from the arch for a total of 60 days, an amount of time intended to symbolize how long it took for slave ships to cross the Atlantic.

However, those 60 days will be split into smaller week increments to allow the city to keep pre-existing commitments to hang other banners from the arch promoting community groups and events.

The idea of hanging a banner from the arch to express support for Black people first originated with the Golden United and Golden AntiRacism Collective groups, which first came to the council with a proposal to hang a banner reading “Black Lives Matter” from the city council building and, later, the arch.

During a council discussion of the proposal on Aug. 10, city attorney Dave Williamson raised concerns that hanging the banner from the arch could risk converting the arch to a public forum and obligate the city to allow other groups to display

messages from the arch regardless of whether the council agreed with them or wanted them there.

Williamson suggested that the city could avoid appearing to make the arch into a public forum by issuing a resolution that would express the council’s own statements on the issue and then directing city staff to hang a banner as an expression of its statements, rather than those of Golden United.

Following that discussion, the question of whether to hang the banner generated significant and passionate public comment from those both in support and opposition.Councilwoman JJ Trout said she had received 147 communications from constituents about the banner with 95 of them expressing support.

The question also generated division among the council with Mayor Laura Weinberg and councilmembers Casey Brown, Bill Fisher and Trout saying they were supportive of hanging the banner as a clear show of city’s intent to support the black community and create a safe community for all residents.

Councilmembers Paul Haseman and Jim Dale expressed that they were opposed to hanging the banner.

“I just feel the banner is divisive and it could bring some difficult, terrible vandalism and hate groups to our city and I’m not ready to accept that,” said Dale.

Councilman Rob Reed also expressed concerns about the precedent hanging the banner could set and the impact it could have on community businesses but said he ultimately felt hanging the benefit outweighed those concerns.

“I think putting a banner up for a reasonable amount of time is the right thing to do,” said Reed. “I want people of color to feel welcome in our

community and this is a way to do it.

I very much hope it does not result in adverse consequences and I don’t think it will.”

At one point during the meeting, Haseman suggested that if the city is to hang a banner it could hang one denouncing racism without using the “black lives” language associated with the Black Lives Matter group.

“We can say that the use of the term `black lives matter’ is not associated with the black lives matter movement but the term `black lives matter’ has been politicized” Hasemen said. “And even though the underlying tenants behind that are laudable and certainly should be supported the actual term itself is divisive.”

But several other councilors pushed back against and even criticized the position that “Golden stands with black lives” could be a divisive message “This is about supporting `Golden stands with black lives,’” Fisher said.

“It’s the most American of comments and it’s time to acknowledge that black citizens in America have been held back and put down and we must lift them up to allow them to be equal so that we can say that `all lives matter’ and mean it.”

Antiracism resolution In addition to voting to hang the banner, the council also unanimously passed a resolution committing the city to anti-racism actions, including researching what actions other cities have taken to combat racism to develop an anti-racism plan for Golden.

The resolution also calls for holding community conversations around racism, including conversations involving the police department with the department then reporting back to the council on next steps.

Golden man charged after pushing bar employee over mask reminder John Roche charged with assault, trespassing

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Golden man is facing charges after he got into an altercation with a bar employee who allegedly reminded him to put on a face mask.

The incident, partially captured on video, occurred at the Golden Moon Speakeasy at 1111 Miner’s Alley and began when John Roche, 62, asked an employee at the distillery if he could sit at a specific table. Golden Deputy

Police Chief Joe Harvey said the employee told Roche he could sit at that table before telling him that he needed to wear a mask when he was not sitting at the table.

Harvey said Roche then made “some kind of comment” about wearing of the mask. Roche said the employee then called him an expletive while the employee told police he said Roche was “acting like an expletive.”

At that point, Roche went back up to the employee and shoved him in the chest.

“He shoved him hard enough that he hit the door jamb and then fell to the ground,” said Harvey.

The bar’s owner then asked Roche

to leave and Roche threatened to “kick his expletive.”

Roche was charged with assault and trespass. Harvey said this is the first incident he is aware of in which a conversation about masks resulted in a physical confrontation in Golden.

“However, there have certainly been instances of people getting yelled at so I know there have been some issues,” Harvey said.

Harvey said the officers chose not to charge the man with failing to adhere to the mask statute because he had remained on the patio. However, he said the man likely could’ve been charged as Golden requires a mask

be worn in any public setting where six feet of social distancing cannot be maintained.

So far, Harvey said Golden Police have only cited one person for failing to follow the city’s mask ordinance, although they have had over 4,000 contacts in which officers have reminded people they needed to wear a mask as part of an approach that has prioritized education over penalties.

But Harvey said that approach will likely soon change.

“At some point we have done enough education and people need to know they have to wear a mask and we will issue citations if they don’t,” Harvey said.

(childcare) consistency,” said Storm.

“I was really worried about kids in our community being left alone so their parents can go work. There are so many single parents or families with two working parents and a lot of times, they are both in fields where they are considered essential workers and they have to work outside the house, especially in low-income families. Paying for childcare is a struggle enough for all families in Colorado.”

Storm was one of 13 residents who graduated from the FLTI program at a ceremony on Aug. 15 in Discovery Park in Wheat Ridge. The program started in January, but participants were forced to finish it virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the projects participants created included a podcast about diversity and social justice and a listening program to stop teen suicide.

Participants got to Zoom with local political figures and did a virtual day at the Capitol with Attorney General Phil Weiser. The program taught them how to utilize information and resources, how to engage with regional, state and federal elected officials, public speaking skills and more. Before the pandemic, dinner and childcare services were provided to participants who met once a week for the program.

By 2021-2022, all students will be on a dual language track. Though Foster is now an option school, the plan is for students in the Foster neighborhood to have enrollment priority.

The coronavirus pandemic has certainly thrown new challenges into the execution of the dual language program, Hiester added. Being part of the program is a different experience in a remote environment, in which 100% of students will engage until Sept. 8, she said.

Even after Sept. 8, about 20% of Foster students will continue to learn remotely, Hiester estimated. The number could rise back to 100% if a second wave of COVID-19 closes school buildings.

Hiester added that even with the new challenges the coronavirus has created, the school believes it can execute its dual language model as planned.

With the school’s big change underway, Hiester said she looks forward to seeing the effects of the leap the community has taken.

For example, you can just do announcements in Spanish,” she said.

“It helps with the focus of the school so we’re all working toward the same goals.”

“I made connections with people who don’t live where I do,” said Kasu, an Englewood resident. “I learned a lot about leadership, qualities a leader has and how to speak publicly.”

Spin a mystery in six words

Walls can talk

O

Denver area in recent years.

Among the Denver-area muralists who have been leaving their mark on the city recently are Adrienne Norris, whose work often focuses on significant women from history. Norris returned to that subject for her two most recent murals, which she completed for Babe Walls, a mural

ne of the most famous things Ernest Hemingway ever wrote is only six words long: “For sale: Baby shoes.

Never worn.” Packed into those few words is a whole story of life and heartbreak, and that story-behinda-story is what entrants into the fourth annual Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers of America’s fourth annual COMING Six-Word MysATTRACTIONS tery Contest should aim for.

The contest opens on Sept. 15 and runs through midnight on Oct. 31. Entries can be submitted in one or all five of the following categories: Hard Clarke Reader Boiled or Noir, Cozy Mystery, Thriller Mystery, Police Procedural Mystery and/or a mystery with Romance or Lust. The contest is open to all adults 18 and over, and there are no residency requirements - entries come from all over the country and world.

“As a writer, I really appreciate the thought and cleverness that goes into each entry,” said ZJ Czupor, vice president of the chapter.

“Anyone, no matter what your skill level as a writer, can enter and have fun doing so. Furthermore, it’s a little bit of a mind-bending exercise, like doing a crossword puzzle.”

This year’s judges include Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine Editor Linda Landrigan, New York Times best-selling author Anne Hillerman, award-winning author, lawyer and activist Manuel Ramos, BookBar owner Nicole Sullivan and literary agent Terrie Wolf, owner of AKA Literary Management.

We spoke to Cuzpor about the contest and the power of just six words.

Interview edited for content and clarity.

-Tell me about the six-word contest?

The contest was the brainchild of Dr. Jeffrey Lockwood, our Wyoming board representative. He presented the idea as a fun way to generate camaraderie and playfulness among our members and the public, and to increase awareness of the craft and pleasure of mystery writing. We figured how hard would it be to write a mystery in six words? Well, turns out it takes a little more thought than one would initially imagine. But the entries we’ve received over the last three years have been very creative and sometimes chilling, but many are laugh-out-loud hilarious.

-What are judges looking for?

The judges are looking for how well the entrant wrote a story in six words. In other words, did those six words paint a picture for us of a story with a beginning, middle

From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter, street art thrives to document 2020

hen Denver muralist Austin Zucchini-Fowler came up with the idea to create a mural depicting an angelwinged nurse in a fighter’s stance wearing boxing gloves last April, he did not imagine the extent to which the image would resonate in Denver — never mind around the world.

Back then, he was just looking for a way to pay tribute to the healthcare workers putting their lives on the line to fight the COVID-19 pandemic — including several in his own family — while he was stuck at home during the pandemic.

“I kind of got to dig down into art and had this concept to really encompass the community’s gratitude to health-care workers and also just show with the pandemic their fight and the challenges they are facing,” Zucchini-Fowler said.

Zucchini-Fowler’s image debuted on Easter weekend in Capitol Hill at Colfax Avenue and Williams Street on the east side of a building along the alley adjacent to the Taco Bell at that intersection.

But even many of those who haven’t been anywhere near Colfax since the start of the pandemic will likely recognize the image, which has been featured everywhere from CNN to The New York Times to a new commercial for USA Basketball. An Oregon farmer has even created a corn maze based on the mural.

“It doesn’t feel like my mural, it’s like the community’s mural,” Zucchini-Fowler said. “People were feeling so many different feelings and challenges during the pandemic and I think a mural can be the perfect way to express what the community as a whole is feeling.”

Austin Zucchini-Fowler’s iconic mural of a nurse with boxing gloves on along Colfax Avenue in Capitol Hill.

Social distancing, time outside fueling art In recent months, Zucchini-Fowler and other muralists have shown their art is uniquely positioned to both document and respond to the pain and promise of recent events, as COVID-19 and the protest movement that sprang up following George Floyd’s murder have given new fuel and urgency to the mural movement that has gained steam around the

and end? The judges are also looking to determine if the six-words fit the conventions of the sub-genre of that entry; and finally, cleverness always earns a lot of points.

-What is your favorite thing about the contest?

As a board member of our chapter, I really like that we get noticed around the country and the world. People sometimes think that mystery writing comes from the coasts… but the Rocky Mountain region is a literary powerhouse in its own right—and the contest raises our profile.

festival celebrating the work of women and non-binary artists held Aug. 13-16 in Westminster.

Both of Norris’ Babe Walls murals depict black women who were leaders in important social movements. One honors Storme DeLarverie, a leader in the early gay rights movement in New York, and the other depicts Ella Baker, a civil rights activist who spurned “charismatic leaders” in favor of encouraging blacks to advocate for themselves.

Norris was also one of two local artists tapped to spearhead the creation of a Black Lives Matter mural on Broadway in front of the state Capitol last June. That temporary street mural, which read “Black Lives Matter: Remember This Time” was painted with the help of more than 100 volunteers.

Norris said that while street artists have always been the documenters of history and culture, the pandemic lockdowns made the value of such art “more apparent than it has ever been even though we’ve always been here.”

“Because people are keeping distance socially and spending more time outside than they ever have been, it really makes sense to have art that is outside as opposed to in museums and stuff,” said Norris.

Murals coming to burbs While the Denver area’s recent street art explosion has largely been focused on city neighborhoods like River North and corridors like Broadway and Colfax where such art has long thrived, the inaugural Babe Walls festival also shows that it may also be making more inroads into a largely unpainted frontier: the suburbs.

During Babe Walls, artists painted 12 new murals on buildings around the intersection of Federal Boulevard and 71st Avenue (a map can be found at babewalls.com).

For the last four years, the West Colfax Mural Fest (now the West Colfax Arts Fest) has also led to the creation of many new murals on and around West Colfax in Lakewood.

Although that festival was canceled this year, organizers expect it to return in 2021.

New murals have also popped up in recent months on South Broadway in Englewood and along 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge (where the city currently has a mural program that provides funds for new art).

“I love the team for figuring out

that you’d be forgiven for missing some smaller, less-damaging rare occurrences - like a new Pearl Jam album. “Gigaton,” did make it into the world, but the Seattle greats were supposed to go on a tour that was scrapped out of safety concerns.

Those who were hoping to see Pearl Jam are in luck, however, because the group is livestreaming a performance from their 2018 stop at their home city beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4 through Sept. 7.

The performance features a massive 33-song setlist, which includes an appearance from Brandi Carlile, covers, rarities and more. Visit www.nugs.tv for information and to stream the show.

I’m certainly not going to pretend it’s the most objective coverage, but it’s easiest the funniest I’ve seen, and we could also use a little of that humor as we enter the final stretch of the election. Colbert speaks to people like Susan Rice, Trey Gowdy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Chris Christie. Plus, his Avengers Endgame parody is all kinds of dumb and delightful.

“And we’ve gotten so much positive feedback already from the people in the neighborhood who like having something different and I think we need a lot more of it. It’s not just for RiNo and downtown Denver, it should be for everywhere.”

Here is a closer look at a few of the many murals to recently pop up around the Denver metro area.

It’s Gonna All Be Okay mural Located in the alleyway behind Denver Central Market (which is one of the most mural-filled in the city) at at 27th and Larimer, this mural depicts an angel-winged baker holding a peel beside the words “It’s gonna all be okay.” The mural, which was created by Austin ZucchiniFowler, is part of a project honoring the contributions of essential workers that grew out of the success of his angel-winged nurse mural on Colfax. A map of all of the project’s murals can be found at austinzart. com.

Interwoven mural at 14th and Colfax Although the Black Lives Matter street mural has come and gone, this colorful mural that was painted in front of the Denver City and County Building earlier this summer has a similarly epic scale. Artist Pat Milberry told 9News that the pinwheel and sundial at the center of the 28,680 square-foot mural is meant to “create an energy of positive rotation to transition us out of these uncertain times.”

‘Victoria Longwood’ water lilies are a pretty big deal Plant lovers can get notified when remarkable flowers are about to open

A “Victoria Longwood” water lily is an extravagant specimen on display at Hudson Gardens in Littleton.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Water Gardens and surrounding ponds at Hudson Gardens in Littleton display more than 140 varieties of aquatic plants, which serve as a cover for a variety of minnows, tadpoles and other small critters. With a minimum amount of patience, one can spot a frog sitting on a floating leaf, and in the evening those frogs sing and serenade the surroundings.

The large leaves of the Victoria water lily provide an especially fine perch for these small pond critters as they also offer shade for the swimming residents of the ponds. Each leaf can grow 10 inches in a day, according to material provided at the Gardens.

The Victoria water lilies were discovered in Bolivia in 1801 and are only native to South American river basins, such as the Amazon. Botanists and plant collectors were bringing them to Europe by the mid-19th century, where the first display was at Britain’s Crystal Palace.

In 1851, specimens were also introduced in the U.S. In 1960, Longwood Gardens, near Philadelphia, introduced the “Victoria Longwood,” which is the variety found at Hudson Gardens.

These remarkable plants, with the second largest leaf of any plant in the world, were introduced in the Little-

ton gardens in 1997 and have been growing well since. This summer, plant lovers can register to be notified when a Victoria water lily is about to open in the evening. Members of the active Colorado Water Garden Society maintain the Water Garden ponds and members meet with viewers to experience the opening of this spectacular bloom. The Victoria water lily is her-

maphroditic: It changes from female to male overnight as it blooms.

Leaf pads can expand more than 20 inches in a day, growing to as much as 8 feet in diameter, with each leaf lasting about a week. For most of the year, the Victoria water lily is distinguished only by these large lily pads, but in late July and early August, night-blooming flowers appear and last only 48 hours. Each plant produces about 10 to 12 flowers a season, according to the publication available at Hudson Gardens. The day before the plant flowers, a tennis ball-sized bud rises from the water and will open to reveal as many as 50 petals.

Its fragrance resembles tuberose, pineapple and banana. In its native setting, the bloom reopens a second night, admitting pollinating scarab beetles, which don’t live here — only in South America. The flower closes on the beetles, changes from female to male and opens to release the insects that have fertilized the plants.

Hudson Gardens’ information also says that the Victoria water lily is over 160 million years old — it appeared when South America was still connected to Africa and Antarctica. There are two species: Victoria Amazonica

“This week, a Black man was shot seven times in the back,” said Shariff Belkin, referring to Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wis. Three of Blake’s children were in the back of his car when he was shot.

Natives of South America make flour from the seeds of the Victoria water lily to bake cakes.

Hudson Gardens’ Water Lily Pond was created in 2012 to house the Victoria water lily collection. It also presents other types of water lilies and duckweed, the smallest flowering plant in the world, which looks like a dense green mat. Flowers are tiny and dangle beneath the water’s surface, as do the roots. We are told that duckweed, often thought to indicate an unhealthy pond, actually helps balance the ecosystem and provides shade for the underwater wildlife. It also provides a source of fat and protein for birds.

While visiting the Water Gardens, take time to look for the lotus, which, like the water lilies, is rooted in a natural soil bed under the water.

While changing the signs back to how they were in the past is a small action, she said the signs reflect the values many in the city feel.

“We plan on continuing to work with our elected officials to make sure that all people feel like justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in Lakewood is a priority,” Shariff Belkin said.

“While they’re just signs, they send a message,” said Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul. “They set the tone and I hope that this will try to restart conversations about inclusivity in our community and also maybe engage the community to maybe update that saying or look for something that can be a cornerstone for a motto for the city for decades to come.”

RidgeFest carries on despite pandemic Wheat Ridge event taking place over three-day span

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a regular year, Wheat Ridge’s RidgeFest takes place over the course of one night where residents gather for live music, a classic car show, chalk art, children activities and more.

The event, designed to celebrate Wheat Ridge’s culture and character, saw around 6,500 residents attend the celebration last year.

And while COVID-19 has forced other cities to cancel community gatherings, RidgeFest will proceed, but just like everything else this year, things will be different.

RidgeFest, organized by Localworks, a nonprofit organization working to advance Wheat Ridge as a vibrant and sustainable community, will return this year for the seventh year in a row in the area of 6595 W. 38th Ave. Rather than hosting a one-day celebration, RidgeFest will take place Sept. 11 through Sept. 13 in what the nonprofit is calling a deconstructed version of the event in order to control crowds and keep attendees six feet apart.

The event is free and will feature local bluegrass bands, a chalk art festival, children’s activities, a classic car show and more. Local restaurants like Apple Ridge Café, Colorado Plus, Firefly Saloon and other entities will offer special deals during RidgeFest while Localworks plans to also host the event on its Facebook page for those who feel uncomfortable to attend an in-person gathering.

“We thought with this deconstructed version we could do something that brings the community together — but do it safely. We thought we could share and celebrate Wheat Ridge in this new and interesting way,” said Ashley Holland, marketing and communications manager for Localworks.

The chalk art festival is funded through Wheat Ridge’s Cultural Commission — a group of residents that works to promote cultural arts in the city. Gay Porter DeNileon, who has been on the commission for nine years, said that even though half of the group’s budget was slashed this year because of COVID-19, the commission will be able to pay artists for the first time in RidgeFest’s history.

In the past, artists participated in the event for free, Porter DeNileon said.

A chalk artist creates a piece of art for a previous year’s Wheat Ridge RidgeFest. Despite the pandemic, this year’s RidgeFest will take place Sept. 11 through Sept. 13. The free event will feature live music, the chalk art festival, a classic car show and more.

RidgeFest is a free event, but to help stop the spread of COVID-19 tickets will need to be reserved. You can reserve tickets at ridgeat38.com/ridgefest/ridgefesttickets.

“I’m really proud of Wheat Ridge and Localworks and all the people that work there and the commission for keeping some hope and beauty in the community by holding these events,” said Porter DeNileon.

Local businesses like Al’s Pine Garden, at 6815 W. 44th Ave. will also participate in the event by allowing residents to create a succulent plant at its greenhouse. Jennifer Dent, owner of Al’s Pine Garden, said residents will be able to social distance in her greenhouse. She assisted residents with their succulent plants at last year’s event and said residents walked away understanding why their plants kept dying.

DENVER — The annual D’Evelyn Dash Cross Country Invite looks a lot different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With new guidelines restricting the number of teams and runners allowed at cross country races, D’Evelyn split its cross country invite into two days — Aug. 29 and 29. The first day of the varsity-only event featured seven teams — Arvada West, Bear Creek, Chatfield, Columbine, D’Evelyn, Longmont and Lutheran.
