Art project designed to show senior passions in the works in Lakewood Passions Project captures seniors doing their thing

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Boulder-based photographer Heidi Wagner, said that during the pandemic, she’s heard people dismiss the importance of older adults are to our society.

“I want people to see and understand how important older adults are to the richness of our culture.

We are all so divided, and we love to put each other in boxes and keep ourselves separate from people who are different,” said Wanger.

Rather than dismissing what seniors’ add to society, Wagner wants people to see seniors for more than just being old. And she is working to show seniors in a different light through the Passions Project — a

been on the board for 5 ½ years, touted her experience serving both as a commissioner and in the state legislature.

“The board has seen a lot of turnover the last few years and will experience more turnover next year,” said Szabo. “I will be the only commissioner that will have more than a few years of experience and that experience is vital to Jeffco.”

Szabo said she has demonstrated that she can be a bold leader in stormy times by working to ensure

After several weeks of declines, COVID-19 cases have once again been on the rise in Jefferson County.

Jefferson County Public Health’s Executive Director Mark B. Johnson told the Jeffco commissioners on Sept. 15, just over a week after Labor Day, that his agency was watching case trends closely after starting to see what he described as a “little ticking up again” in new cases.

Johnson said case numbers have been falling from early August from a high of around 700 new cases in two weeks to a low of 300 new cases recorded in the two weeks prior to Friday, Sept. 11. However, the two-week case total number then began to rise over the weekend of Sept. 12 with the county recording 336 new cases over the two weeks preceding Sept. 14.

“I’m not sure yet whether that is a trend we are going to see or whether it will again sort of stabilize and continue to go down,” he said. “But we are right at the period of time after the Labor Day weekend where we would be expecting to see cases if there were breaches of compliance over the holiday weekend.”

According to Johnson, current research suggests most people tend to exhibit symptoms five to seven days after contracting the virus (although it can take up to 14 days for some, and others never show symptoms at all) which meant that JCPH would only now start to get some sense of what the

JCPH Executive Director Johnson reflects on 30-year career Johnson retiring on Oct. 2 after COVID-19 delay

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 30 years and one COVID-19 pandemic while at the helm of Jeffco’s public health department, Dr. Mark B. Johnson is finally retiring from the JCPH. He had originally planned to retire in June but said he decided to stay to continue to guide the county through the COVID-19 pandemic and set it up to be in a good position to manage it after his departure.

“At that time I did not Johnson feel like I could leave,” Johnson said. “We were gearing up on incident command and cases were increasing and things were looking bad.”

Johnson said that he decided to set a date to retire now because the overall COVID-19 situation had significantly improved with the rates of cases, hospitalizations and deaths all significantly increasing.

Still, he acknowledges that concerns about what will happen with COVID-19 in the fall as schools continue with their reopening and the flu returns had left him feeling “a little hesitant to leave to some degree.”

However, Johnson says that the health department had set up a good program for dealing with COVID-19, including the recent establishment of an Office of Pandemic Response staffed with new employees who will handle contact tracing and other activities related to controlling the pandemic, that left him feeling that it

ill-equipped to be the director and that I am breaking the law and breaking the constitution and that I am a joke,” Johnson said. “There have been death threats and other threats against my body. That has been hard.”

However, he said he wants it to be known that those threats from the public have nothing to do with his decision to retire, which he was already planning to do before the pandemic.

“I have had complete support from the board and both parties in the county commissioners,” he said.

“They haven’t always agreed with me and we have had some discussions about things but I have felt full cooperation and support throughout this pandemic response.”

So what future public health challenges does Johnson have his eye on as he prepares to step away from JCPH? Climate change, which he said could lead to increased numbers of fires, floods and even pandemics.

“I think we are going to see more novel viruses as more forests around the world are destroyed and we encroach on more wildlife that we have not been exposed to before and get exposed to more viruses and bacteria,” he said. “And I think all of that ties into the devastation that climate change is causing.”

As he steps away, Johnson said he wants his last message to Jeffco residents to be one of gratitude.

“I would like the citizens to know how fortunate I feel that I have been able to work here,” he said. “And I would like them to know how hard their county staff work for them not just in the health department but across the county. Jeffco residents are getting their money’s worth in the services that are provided and I really wish I could do more to let the citizens know that.”

Both suspect and victim in Lakewood shooting identified Lakewood police shot and killed the suspect as investigation continues STAFF REPORT

A parking lot killing that turned into a fatal shootout with police officers on Sept. 18 in Lakewood resulted

in the death of a victim and his alleged suspect.

Lakewood Police Department Public Information Officer John Romero reports that the victim of the homicide has been identified as Steven Scott Hargis, 27, of Lakewood. The man suspected of killing Hargis, who was then killed by Lakewood police has been identified as 46-year-old Matthew Lyvon Paul of Denver.

Romero said the motive for the

shooting is still under investigation.

According to the Lakewood Police Department, Hargis was in a car in the 400 block of Wadsworth Boulevard, when he was shot and killed

by Paul. After shooting the victim, Paul fled westbound across Wadsworth. Police say suspects saw the suspect, still armed with a handgun, attempted to carjack employees and customers at the Grease Monkey at 395 Wadsworth Blvd. The carjacking

was unsuccessful and as police agents moved in. The suspect then fled into a neighborhood on the 7700 block of West 4th Avenue.

Police say the suspect fired multiple rounds at them, ultimately hitting a police vehicle and several pieces of property in the area. Lakewood Police agents returned fire and Paul was hit.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

No police agents or bystanders were reported injured.

result of Labor Day would be.

Days after Johnson’s report, the county two-week case numbers increased to 359 cases as of Sept. 17, the last day for which data was available prior to the publication deadline for this issue.

That was the highest number of cases in a two-week period since Sept. 6, when the county saw 361 new cases over the preceding two weeks.

The recent case increases, although still relatively small, stand in the way of the county’s ability to further loosen public health restrictions on businesses and public gatherings in Jeffco.

On Sept. 16, Gov. Jared Polis debuted a new framework for if and when Colorado coun-

ties can move into various stages of the state reopening plan. Johnson had previously told the commissioners that the county was close to meeting the criteria to move into the least restrictive level of the state reopening plan, which is known as the “protect our neighbors phase.”

Under that phase, nearly all public and business activities can take place at 50% capacity.

There are eight benchmarks a county must meet to move into the Protect Our Neighbor phase, and Johnson said Jeffco was meeting seven of them as of Sept. 15. The one missing benchmark relates to the number of new cases in the county over the last two weeks, which counties can meet in multiple ways.

Johnson said the county is currently closest to meeting a measure requiring that counties have no more than 50

cases per 100,000 residents in a two-week period along with a stable test positivity rate below 5%, the latter of which Jeffco is already achieving.

For Jeffco to have fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 residents in a two-week period, the county would need to have 290 or fewer new cases in that time frame.

“We are very close to getting to the protect our neighbor stage,” Johnson said to the commissioners, pointing out that the county had been facing 700 new cased within a 2-week period at the height of the pandemic, so seeing numbers in the 300’s was a sign of progress.

Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper praised the community’s role in bringing numbers down.

“We want to thank our community for your efforts to help prevent the spread by wearing

your mask indoors and outdoors when you are with other folks and socially distancing and all of the things we know we need to do,” said Dahlkemper. “You really helped us get our numbers down when our variance was at stake but we’ve got to keep up the good work.”

But while the county continues to make progress on controlling COVID-19 and moving toward loosening restrictions, Johnson said JCPH expects it will be dealing with for “another year or two.”

“Even if a vaccine is found to be effective and is brought to market so that people can get it there are a number of people that are hesitating to get it and we are not sure exactly how long it is going to take to build herd immunity,” he said.

“We believe we are going to be seeing cases and doing contact tracing for quite a while.”

Experts Are Predicting a Surge in Foreclosures, But I See the Situation Differently With the continued high unemployment rate and the expiration of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), many homeowners are hurting, so it makes sense that we may have a foreclosure crisis in our future.

CoreLogic reported recently that back in June (when the Feds were still sending $600/week in PUA to Americans) the share of mortgages with payments 90 to 119 days late had already risen to 2.3%, “the highest level in 21 years.” A rate that high could result in a foreclosure crisis, the report said. Not only could millions of families potentially lose their home, but that would also create downward pressure on home prices.

But I see the situation differently, and after consulting with Jaxzann Riggs of The Mortgage Network, here’s why I don’t expect that flood of foreclosures.

First of all, foreclosure should only happen when a seller owes more on their home than it is worth. That’s because sellers lose all their accumulated equity in a foreclosure, and most people have accumulated a lot of equity thanks for the sellers’ market we have been experiencing.

Secondly, federally mandated forbearance is in effect which is unlike the forbearance delinquent borrowers may have enjoyed in the past. Under the current

Golden Real Estate Welcomes a New Broker Associate Tyler Scrable has joined Golden Real Estate as a broker associate. Formerly, Ty (as he likes to be called) was in the property management business while doing fix-and-flips on his own account. He lives in the 12th Street Historic District of Downtown Golden. His wife Rebecca works for BP, and they have an infant daughter.

Tyler got to know us when we donated a “#BlackLivesMatter” banner to Golden United and he, as co-chair of the Golden Antiracism Collective, lobbied the City Council to hang that banner under the Welcome Arch in downtown

Golden. As a compromise, the Council voted 6-1 to hang a banner that reads “Golden Stands With Black Lives” for 60 days (not all consecutive).

Ty will specialize, like the rest of us, in residential real estate, but is open to helping renters and landlords and would be interested in getting back into property management under Golden Real Estate’s name if the right opportunity presents itself. He previously managed 240 units in 12 buildings in downtown Denver.

plan, lenders add extra payments at the end of the loan instead of requiring any kind of catch-up payments. This mandate could be extended, too.

The only people likely to face foreclosure will be those who recently took out 100% VA loans or 96.5% FHA loans and for whom there is no equity to lose in a foreclosure action.

Being on forbearance doesn’t affect one’s credit rating even though you are not making payments (again, part of the federal mandate), but once you resume payments, you need to make a minimum of three on-time payments to qualify for a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan, which will restrict your ability to sell

your home and purchase a replacement home. Some lenders require six months post-forbearance loan payments.

That, too, will slow down any surge in what are known as “distressed listings.”

Watchdog dinged with campaign violation fine City rules publication is not a newspaper and levies $3,000 fine

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Lakewood Watchdog is not a newspaper — at least not as far as the city of Lakewood is concerned.

In an order dated Sept. 14, the city’s appointed Administrative Hearing Officer Kendra Carberry ruled that the Watchdog had published electioneering materials specifically advocating for some candidates of the 2019 city council races over their opponents.

The ruling states that since the publication was distributed to more than 100 Lakewood residences within 60 days of the election, the authors should have filed a report with the city, and added a disclaimer to the publication, as required by the city’s campaign finance rules.

Those behind the publication are now expected to pay $3,000 in fines, and could find new fines levied against them if they publish anything else within two months before an election.

The Watchdog, a publication founded by Dan Smith in 2014, lists its mission on Facebook as being “to alert, inform, educate and mobilize public opinion on issues of concern to citizens of Lakewood.”

The publication claimed that it was exempt from campaign finance and

The Lakewood Watchdog “The Whole Story” issues from last year, including the edition that the city now claims violates campaign finance rules.

PHOTO BY JOSEPH RIOS disclosure rules because it identifies as a newspaper. Other publications, including The Denver Post and the Jeffco Transcript, commonly publish stories about the people and issues on the ballot in Lakewood, but are not bound by the requirements of the city ordinance.

Tom Keefe, who teaches political science at Rocky Mountain Academy of Art, says he liked the ruling, and supports the city ordinance that the Watchdog ownership has run afoul of.

“They’re arguing for their rights, without taking that same stand for their responsibilities as an alleged newspaper,” Keefe said.

The Watchdog does not include quotes attributed to sources. There is no list of funders in Watchdog issues, no way to subscribe, or advertisements. There is a masthead identifying the people that craft the Watchdog — Smith is listed as the president, Sue Cook is listed as an editor and John Smith as a researcher — but no

bylines on any of the stories. “it’s a cowardly organization that’s taking pot shots at other people, and only sending out this newsletter to like-minded people,” Keefe said, accusing the authors of being unrelentingly critical of more liberal candidates and avoiding any fair critique of conservative candidates.

Former Secretary of State Scott Gessler is serving as the legal representative for the Watchdog in its dispute with the city. He called the ruling “astonishing,” and points out that the Watchdog is printed on newsprint, and that it was regularly printed on a roughly-quarterly basis (though the Jeffco Transcript has not seen evidence of the Watchdog publishing an issue since last year).

“The judge just ignored the plain evidence in front of her,” in ruling the Watchdog not a newspaper, Gessler said.

The Watchdog can contest the ruling. Gessler said his clients were also considering a federal civil rights lawsuit.

“This seems to be a case of city council members and their allies trying to silence a critical voice in the community,” Gessler said.

Keefe sees the situation differently: “To use the best part of our country to hide your vitriol and manipulation of truth ... frankly it’s disgusting.”

For now, with another election looming, Gessler said his clients were considering opening a legal defense fund, and Keefe said he is ready to file another complaint should the Watchdog violate the ordinance again.

Davis Schilken, PC – Let our deep experience meet your heartfelt goals!

The Jeffco Commissioners voted 2-1 on Sept. 14 to pass a resolution acknowledging the nation’s global climate crisis and committing the county to taking certain local actions to help address the crisis, including implementing a climate action plan and a target for reducing countywide greenhouse gas emissions.

Commissioners Casey Tighe and Lesley Dahlkemper, both Democrats, voted for the resolution while Commissioner Libby Szabo, a Republican, voted against it.

The resolution declares addressing climate change to be a critical priority for Jefferson County and commits the county to ensuring the county’s actions remain in alignment with the most current scientific findings regarding climate change.

It also commits the county to developing a Climate Action Plan, which it describes as a strategic planning process for developing goals, policies and programs to reduce the county’s greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

The resolution also commits the county to undertaking the organization Local Governments for Sustainability’s Climate Cohort to reduce

greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions throughout the community. It outlines several steps the county will take to do so, including conducting a county greenhouse gas inventory and forecast and establishing targets for reducing greenhouse gases and adopting renewable energy.

Szabo said she decided to vote against the resolution because she felt the information presented in support of it by the Jeffco Sustainability Commission only presented “one side of the argument on climate control and climate change.”

She also expressed concern about the impact the steps outlined in the resolution could have on poorer Jeffco residents by resulting in increased costs for energy and said she wanted to see a resolution tailored more specifically to Jeffco as the current one was committing Jeffco to taking steps that other communities would not take.

“This resolution cannot work if the rest of the world is not changing its behaviors,” she said. “Jefferson County cannot carry the burden of the world’s behaviors. I would rather see a resolution for what Jeffco can actually do.”

Tighe, however, argued that he felt that it is possible to make clean energy affordable and said the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden could play a part in that solution.

Homeless sweep starts process over again After homeless camp removal, the unhoused are left scared, lonely

often stored in close proximity to propane tanks used for cookstoves. Tents were too close together, exacerbating the fire hazard. Health officials found problems with garbage and human waste.

Crews counted 25 trailers, 50 residents and dozens of tents on the day of the sweep, Pixley said.

“The proximity of all those people, all those tents, all that fuel presented a serious hazard,” Pixley said. “People here are trying their best, but we have to do our best as firefighters.”

Why not provide portable toilets, trash receptacles and other sanitation services to the camp?

“We’ve tried that in some places, but the problem becomes access,” Pixley said. “It becomes difficult to empty the Dumpsters. People stop using the toilets if they get too gross.”

Pixley said the sweep was the culmination of weeks of outreach, seeking to connect residents of the camp with resources like numbers for housing agencies, drug and alcohol counseling and assistance signing up for government services before clearing the area.

“It’s unfortunate there’s not a simple, single fix,” he said. “If people let us know what they need, we do our best to help them.”

Social workers accompanied the cleanup crews on the day of the sweep, making efforts to guide camp residents to assistance.

Misty Butterfield couldn’t find her backpack.

“It’s green,” Butterfield said, her voice shaking, as she scanned the landscape beside the South Platte River, where her camp sat just hours before. “Everything I had was in it.

Clothes, a bag of rice — but also a lot of sentimental things.”

Things like family photos, from before Butterfield wound up living on the streets. Poetry she and her sister wrote. Drawings done by her mom, who died in 2014.

Butterfield was one of numerous residents of a sprawling homeless camp in Denver that stretched along East South Platte River Drive between Dartmouth and Harvard avenues.

Composed of dozens of tents, RVs and campers, the camp was sandwiched into a narrow stretch of grass between the South Platte River and the barbed wire-topped fence of a sewage treatment plant.

On the morning of Sept. 15, Englewood and Denver police blocked off the street at both ends of the camp, making way for an armada of trucks, trailers and garbage trucks.

Over the next several hours, staff from the Denver Fire Department, as well as the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment and the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, dismantled the camp.

Misty Butterfield said she couldn’t find her backpack after a sweep of a homeless camp beside the South Platte River. She was one of many residents of the camp who said they feared their belongings were thrown out.

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT “It’s just inhumane,” Butterfield said through tears as a garbage truck rumbled away. “If everyone, if whitecollar people had to go through losing everything, maybe they wouldn’t keep doing this to us.”

Many of those who had been staying in the camp said they knew the sweep was inevitable, especially after the Aug. 25 knife slaying of Joe Hix, who had been living in the camp. Englewood Police have yet to announce any arrests in the slaying that occurred in Englewood just south of the camp.

In an email, Englewood Police spokesman Sgt. Tracy Jones said the department mainly provided security for the sweep, and said the action was unrelated to the Hix homicide investigation.

‘Half an hour to clear out’ In practice, camp residents called the outreach efforts sporadic and ineffectual, and said information about the forthcoming sweep was garbled and confusing.

“Last night I heard we had 48 hours, but this morning I wake up and I’m told I have half an hour to clear out,” said an older man who gave his name as Vegas, as he loaded a shopping cart with clothes.

Several others in the camp said they heard shifting timelines for when the sweep would take place. The camp had swollen in size since Colorado Community Media visited in March.

Barely inside Denver city limits, the camp sat just two blocks north of a similar camp swept by Englewood

‘Wonderful people’ Greg Pixley, a captain with the Denver Fire Department, said the sweep was heartbreaking but necessary.

“These are wonderful people,” Pixley said as he walked through the remains of the camp. “You know what they did when we showed up this morning? They offered us breakfast.”

Pixley said recent inspections of the camp had found 91 gallons of gasoline — to power numerous small generators and the still-running vehicles in the camp — in a variety of containers,

‘Losing everything’ By early afternoon, a handful of stragglers remained. Butterfield was one of several who told Colorado Community Media that despite promises from Denver city staff to store their belongings for later retrieval, it was clear many items had been thrown out.

None said they had any idea where they would sleep that night.

authorities in 2019.

“They let everyone stay so long that people began accumulating the necessities of life,” Vegas said. “Cookware.

Supplies. People had started to enterprise — doing day labor, painting gigs, hauling scrap.”

Vegas called the sweep chaotic. He said each time he ventured from his camp to speak to representatives of city departments, he would return to find more of his belongings gone.

“These are supposed to be civil servants,” he said. “They’re nothing but thieves.”

Where to go?

Farther from the camp, along Santa Fe Drive, Stephanie Wallace said the primary housing advice she was given by aid workers was to call 211, Mile High United Way’s hotline.

But, she said, that isn’t much help.

Local housing authorities are overwhelmed with demand. Many require leaving messages and waiting for a return call, but Wallace doesn’t have a phone. Homeless shelters, she said, “can be more dangerous than the streets” for a young woman on her own.

“We try to stay together” in camps, Wallace said. “I felt safe there. But we get moved out of everywhere.”

Even with robust outreach, homeless camp sweeps do little to combat underlying issues, said Mike Sandgren, who heads Change The Trend, a network of agencies and nonprofits seeking to address homelessness in the south metro area.

“Sweeps of homeless camps are an unfortunate symptom of a deeper problem: the lack of housing options for people who find themselves experiencing homelessness,” Sandgren said in an email. “Sweeps are costly to the taxpayer in that they require time and effort from city officials and law enforcement. Worse, they are deeply disruptive to the homeless community and compound the inherent vulnerability within the experience of homelessness. Until we in the Englewood, Littleton, and Sheridan communities secure a reliable array of housing services, we will continue in a difficult cycle of encampment formation and sweeps.”

that Federal CARES Act dollars received by the county go toward the right hands, included business and nonprofits.

“I know the heavy burden of government does not provide the opportunity for you to live your American dream,” she said. “I have always made sure the people’s voice is not outweighed by government intervention.”

Democrat Tracy Kraft-Tharp described her various experiences in local government, which have included serving on the Jeffco Public Schools Accountability Committee, and, most visibly, as a state representative since 2013.

She said she has earned a reputation at the legislature for being businessfriendly and considers working at simplifying the state’s sales and use tax as her premier accomplishment.

“Sales tax in Colorado is the most complicated in the country because we have our state system and then our local home rule system,” said KraftTharp. “We are working closely with Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul for Lakewood to join in to simplify that system because it’s pretty important to make sure businesses are not spending a day and a half every month submitting their sales tax.”

Kraft said there are three things that will be differentiate her: her accessibility, ability to bring people together and ability to get things done and not just talk, talk, talk.

Libertarian Party candidate Hans Roomer is also running for the District 1 position.

Jeffco Board of Commissioners District 2 Race Republican Joni Inman discussed her

deep roots in Jeffco, where she attended Bear Creek High School and has raised her own family and worked in a variety of jobs.

“If you combine my professional experience as a business consultant, former deputy city manager and director of the mayor’s office in Lakewood as well as having served on the board of trustee’s and later as the VP of Public Affairs at St. Anthony’s hospital, I think you will agree that my management experience in both business and local government makes me the most qualified candidate for this office,” she said.

She said her priorities are responsible, competent management of taxpayer dollars, community safety, a flourishing business environment and empowering families in need.

Democrat Andy Kerr, who has served in the state legislature for 12 years, said he will bring his experience serving in both the state senate and house to the board, including experience chairing the education committees in both chambers.

He also discussed his ties to the county, where he grew up near Green Mountain and has taught at both Jeffco Public Schools and, currently, as an adjunct instructor at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.

He said his priorities will include revitalizing and recharging Jeffco’s economy and “making sure we are bringing our homegrown experience to the Jefferson County commission.”

“I want to make sure we are using science and data to address any crisis like the crisis we are facing right now,” he said.

photo series where Wagner captures seniors doing what they are passionate about. Wagner has taken portrait photos of seniors who like to paint, play basketball, play instruments, sing and more, and her and her camera are coming to Lakewood.

Co-sponsored by the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District, which promotes businesses along the Alameda Corridor, and the Village at Belmar senior living facility, Wagner will take portrait shots of up to 20 seniors throughout Lakewood. Those photos will then be displayed in the Denver metro area, including at the Lakewood Cultural Center at 470 S. Allison Parkway.

“I always say that I don’t work with old people. I work with cool people and get to hear cool stories,” said Wagner.

“Anytime you can hear someone’s story, it deepens your understanding of who people are. I think it makes lives richer.

I get to do that all the time.”

Wagner has carried out 15 different Passions Project series in 10 states like Montana, California, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Colorado where one of her series was displayed at the Frasier Meadows retirement facility in Boulder - the place where Village at Belmar cofounder Phil Shapiro first learned of her work.

Shapiro said Wagner’s worked resonated with him and knew he wanted to have her come take photos of Lakewood’s senior residents.

“Age prejudice has always been the focal point of anyone in the aging or senior living field. This is an opportunity to give something positive to the market, teach about elderly people and their lives

You can nominate a senior to participate in the portraits project at alamedaconnects. org/about-the-bid/the-passions-project/ and to teach who they are and what they came from,” said Shapiro.

The Alameda area has seen new artwork sprout up throughout the year like hand sanitizer stations decorated by local artists and traffic electrical boxes wrapped in vinyl that display nature themes. Tom Quinn, executive director of Alameda Connects, a nonprofit that promotes the Alameda Corridor, said the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District sees art like Wagner’s portraits as having major economic benefits for a community like Lakewood.

“The Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District saw an opportunity with the Passions Project to partner with the Village at Belmar to promote awareness and educate our community on ageism,” said Quinn.

“We look forward to sharing these wonderful portraits of Lakewood residents actively living their passions,” he added.

Before Wagner takes the portrait photos, a selection committee made up of local business and aging service leaders will select up to 20 residents to participate in the project. You can nominate a senior at alamedaconnects.org/aboutthe-bid/the-passions-project/. The selection committee will choose which residents get to be photographed in the coming weeks.

“There are incredible lives, and people are doing such cool things. I think that’s lost on so many people when you are getting older,” said Wagner. “I think people dismiss and minimize people of having value and as we age, we have value. I want people to see the value of all.”

Race for House District 22 seat draws closer Colin Larson, Mary Parker and Margot Herzl will vie for the seat

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Believe it or not, election day is in less than two months.

One of the decisions Jefferson County voters will have to make this upcoming election season is who will hold the House District 22 seat — a district that includes parts of south Jefferson County, Lakewood and Ken Caryl. South Jefferson County Republican Colin Larson currently represents District 22 in the Colorado House of Representatives and will face off against Democrat Mary Parker and Libertarian candidate Margot Herzl.

Larson, who beat out Republican Justin Everett in the June 30 primary election, has served in the Colorado House of Representatives since 2019.

He is the owner of the Altas Coffees coffee shop and has served on numerous boards and organizations like the West Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson County Community Development Advisory Board. Larson is pro-life and says he opposes Obamacare and socialized medicine.

Parker previously ran for the House District 22 seat in 2016 and lost to Everett 60.46% to 39.54%. She has worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for neglected and abused children in Jefferson County over the past 13 years and has taught parent-

ing classes to parents trying to regain custody of their children, according to her website. Parker is a member of Gifford’s Colorado Gun Owners for Safety and supports laws that keep guns out of the possession of dangerous people and children. She also owns HR Solutions, which provides audit support, compensation solutions and more.

Herzl lives in unincorporated Jefferson County and has four children who she homeschools. She has served on the board of the Jefferson County Libertarian Party as secretary and vice chair since 2019. Herzl has worked 12 years as a private music instructor and around 10 years as an administrator in a pediatric dental office. According to her website, Herzl hopes to decrease regulatory burdens on businesses to promote private enterprise.

All three candidates fielded questions from Colorado Community Media about the pandemic, issues facing District 22 and more. Here is what they had to say.

Larson How has the state has responded to the pandemic? What would have you done differently?

There are many areas where the state Larson legislature failed the people of Colorado with regards to the COVID-19 response. The two most glaring were the failure to direct funding to school districts to plan for and implement full-time in-person learning for K-12

students who wanted it this school year and the slew of anti-business legislation passed on a purely partisan basis over the summer that will severely weaken our economic recovery and cause further job loss.

What do you think is going to be the most important thing to do to help out local businesses survive through these times?

The most important thing the legislature could do is repeal the tax increases and mandates we placed on businesses earlier this year and pass additional legislation that would allow for more flexibility for businesses and individuals to adapt to the new restrictions imposed by COVID-19.

What do you see as the biggest issue facing your district right now? What can you, as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, do to address that issue?

COVID-19 restrictions have created a slew of issues dampening the economy and endangering our children’s educational opportunities.

As a member of the general assembly, I have and will continue to push for policies that will help businesses recover and allow families to get their children access to an education that works best for them.

What is the biggest difference between you and your opponents?

As the only candidate who has opened and operated a brick and mortar small business in the district, I have unique insight into what it will take for the business community to recover from COVID-19 and restore normalcy. I have a proven track record as an independent voice for the district and I look forward to continuing to serve in that capacity.

Parker How has the state has responded to the pandemic? What would have you done differently?

In general, I think Gov. Polis has done a Parker pretty good job handling the pandemic. He has kept citizens up-to-date on the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. He has also communicated where testing is available and what steps he is instituting to contain the virus. I’m not sure that I would have done anything different at the state level, but the federal government should have done a much better job of obtaining and distributing ventilators, PPE, and test kits.

What do you think is going to be the most important thing to do to help out local businesses survive through these times?

The most important thing we need to do to help local businesses is to realize that different business sectors face different challenges and that we must tailor our support accordingly. Retail businesses may be able to get by with online orders while others need loans and other financial support. Some restaurants with outside seating and robust take-out business can get by while others remain closed. Businesses such as movie and live theaters require long-term planning support.

What do you see as the biggest issue facing your district right now? What can you, as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, do to address that issue?

The biggest issue facing my district

right now is the successful re-opening of our schools. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education at all levels. Not only are schools struggling to find the safest way to re-open, but parents are struggling to determine what is best for their children while balancing their work obligations. As a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, I would work to ensure that schools have adequate funding and access to PPE and COVID-19 testing.

What is the biggest difference between you and your opponents?

The biggest difference between me and my opponents is that I believe that government has a responsibility to protect its citizens, including access to affordable healthcare, quality education, safe neighborhoods and schools, and clean air, water and food.

Herzl How has the state has responded to the pandemic? What would have you done differently?

Libertarianism is based on a few basic Herzl ideas: The pursuit of happiness is best served when each person is free to make their own choices about their lives. The government’s job, therefore, should be limited to protecting individual rights to life, liberty, and property.

The reasons that liberty almost invariably leads to better outcomes than top-down control are: Human knowledge is diffuse. Each of the 7+ billion people on Earth possesses a unique subset of human knowledge - and most people have at least a bit of knowledge that no one else has. Therefore, we should reject the idea of the “philosopher king,” because no individual, no matter how wise and intelligent, is smarter, more knowledgeable, and more competent than all of mankind. You could roll Socrates, Jesus Christ, and Einstein all into one, and even that man would be an idiot compared with the aggregate of all human knowledge, as brought to fruition by billions of individual free choices worldwide.

The choices that people make are typically motivated by a desire to make their tiny slice of the world better for themselves and the people they care about. Therefore, the aggregate effect of human free choice is good - so long as transparent information is available, and rights are protected.

All this is to say the following: The right thing to do with regard to the Coronavirus pandemic has always been to facilitate the transfer of information, and leave people free to make their own risk assessments and act in the manner that they believe is best for their particular situation. We should never have had mandatory lockdowns, we should never have had mandatory masking. I believe the government’s proper role in this was to keep the most current information flowing to the public, and to make recommendations to the public based on that information. The only economic intervention that I think might have been appropriate would be to assist businesses with offering extended paid sick-leave to their employees, so that people wouldn’t be tempted SEE HOUSE, P11

State to add up to 62 ballot drop boxes for fall election Griswold says boxes are ‘safe, secure and convenient way’ to vote

BY MARIANNE GOODLAND COLORADO POLITICS

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has announced that there will be 368 ballot drop boxes statewide for the Nov. 3 election.

“I am happy to announce that over the last two years Colorado has added 121 new drop boxes across the state for the 2020 General Election,” Griswold said in a Sept. 1 statement. “No American should have to choose between risking their health and exercising their right to vote. Drop boxes are a safe, secure and convenient way for Colorado voters to make their voices heard while social distancing, and are one of the reasons our elections are the nation’s gold standard.”

Funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to the tune of $160,000 has paid for 42 new boxes. Twenty-seven Colorado counties applied for those additional drop boxes, and an additional 20 additional boxes may be added across the state by Election Day, Nov. 3, according to the statement.

Saguache County Clerk and Recorder Trish Gilbert said her county is getting three new ballot drop boxes, for a total of four. It’s one of the largest counties in Colorado geographically, with a scarce population in comparison, Gilbert said in the statement.

“Many of our towns are located a great distance from our Voter Service and Polling Center, and many of our voters are without reliable transportation. Additional drop boxes will provide a safe and efficient method for voters to return their ballots without needing to travel to our VSPC and putting themselves, and others, at risk.”

Colorado has twice set new records for voter turnout, in 2018 and for the June 2020 presidential primary, in which 99.3% of those voting used mail-in ballots.

Griswold has been a staunch defend-

There is no evidence of voting fraud tied to mail-in voting, either in Colorado or nationwide. Trump himself votes by mail, and did so for the Florida primary.

Ballot drop boxes are sturdy, metallic, weather-resistant and bolted to the ground. Colorado law also requires that all drop boxes be kept under 24hour video surveillance with adequate lighting.

When drop boxes are emptied, they are done so at least every 24 hours by a team of bipartisan election judges who must maintain a detailed chain of custody log when transporting ballots between drop boxes and the central counting facility.

With 368 drop boxes statewide, there is now one drop box for approximately every 9,400 Colorado active registered voters, according to the statement.

Colorado will also have approximately 330 voting centers open, with many opening 15 days before Election Day per Colorado state law. Each voting center will have COVID-19 related procedures in place to ensure in-person voting is as safe as possible.

to go to work sick. The obvious incoherence of the one-size-fits-all mandates which the government has employed in the face of coronavirus has actually increased public opposition to common sense precautions, and decreased public trust.

What do you think is going to be the most important thing to do to help out local businesses survive through these times?

We need to reduce government regulations. I am talking about both the recent coronavirus related regulations, and the regulations which already existed prior to the lockdowns. Businesses should be free to take the precautions they think are reasonable, and business patrons should be free to take the risks they believe are acceptable. We should also have a temporary reduction in taxes and fees - I know the State is concerned about making up their budget deficit, but the way to do that in the long-term is to take a financial hit in the short-term.

The government will ultimately make up its budget deficits on the back of a strong, fully operational economy - therefore the top concern of the government should be to get out of the way of human initiative and ingenuity, so we can get back to the robust economy we enjoyed prior to COVID lockdowns. If the government attempts to boost its income through higher taxes this year, it could dramatically slow our economic recovery, and ultimately lead to reduced government tax

revenues, reduced government services, and increased debt.

What do you see as the biggest issue facing your district right now? What can you, as a member of the Colorado House of Representatives, do to address that issue?

Our district has a lot of closeknit communities - whether neighborhoods, churches, schools, or families. Yet our sense of community has been damaged this year, both by the pandemic, and by the caustic atmosphere surrounding political discourse. What we need to do - what I can do - is to return civility to public political discourse. People have gotten into the habit of seeing evil in disagreement, rather than reveling in the truth-seeking enterprise that is political discourse. Disagreement is the hallmark of a healthy, thriving democracy. We should endeavor to see the good in one another, and offer each other the benefit of the doubt. We also MUST give people back the freedom to conduct their interpersonal and community relationships without government intervention.

What is the biggest difference between you and your opponents?

People keep looking to their politicians for messiahs, and modern politicians seem only too happy to cater to that desire, fancying themselves the saviors of mankind - omnipotent, able to fix all societal problems through the power of government. I do not. I recognize that no matter what or who has put you down, it is you who must stand back up. It is my job as your representative to leave you free to stand.

VOICES

A key leadership quality that we all need right now ALCHEMY

hen you think of a leader, who comes to mind? A teacher? A parent, a sibling? A boss, a colleague?

A volunteer, friend, neighbor?

Elected officials locally, nationally, globally?

Most of us have someone (or multiple someones) we admire and we often think of these people as leaders, just as I admire my friend and colleague Carmel Mawle, founder and president of the international organization Writing for Peace. As a member of the organization’s board of directors, I continue

to be inspired by Carmel’s perennial, groundbreaking leadership.

Recently, while cleaning my office (tip: don’t ever do this) I came across an article by Elizabeth Jeffries, writing in Credit Union Management. Jeffries offers strategies to lead people through change, and, boy, are we in times of change … violent uncontrollable weather, raging life-eating wildfires, the global pandemic and the uncontestably polarized and divisive state of our nation.

The goal of effective leadership, Jeffries

writes, is to help move people through change to a healthy level of acceptance and action. Acceptance seems to be in short supply right now, and action seems to depend on what side of deeply contentious issues we’re on. However, Jeffries notes that change itself is usually not the culprit that incites resistance, but rather the translation – “the process people go through to adjust to the change.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Repeal Gallagher Please join us in voting ‘Yes’ on Amendment B to repeal the Gallagher Amendment to prevent additional funding cuts to our schools.

As a long time advocates for public education funding, one of the first lessons we learned was how much our schools rely on our local property taxes. In Jeffco, 48% of our property taxes go to fund our schools. School districts rely on local funding first before receiving the state’s share.

What is not covered by the local level is backfilled by the state. The state’s funding already is not adequately fulfilling that need; we now have a Budget Stabilization Factor of well over $1 Billion (dollars the state owes public K-12). Further reductions at the local level would be devastating to our schools. Jeffco Public Schools’ current estimate is a loss of $30M. In May, the State Property Tax Administrator JoAnn Groff informed the Joint Budget Committee that the expected drop in the Residential Assessment Rate (determined by Gallagher) will mean a $246 million drop in school district Total Program Funding revenues — which the state

(Jefferson County expects to see a $29M decrease in revenue.)

Amendment B preserves local funding for our public schools and other local districts.

Without it, schools, counties, fire & special districts will face massive budget cuts.

ife comes at you fast, doesn’t it?

On Wednesday, I saw something in the news, and it seemed like, yep, that’s the topic of this week’s HITTING column. The item was reporting on HOME a study that found that just over onethird of millennials know that the Holocaust killed six million Jews. And, I guess, in and of itself, the number “six million” isn’t really all that important, except that Michael Alcorn it does convey the sheer scope of the horror. And, also, it’s not like six million is a difficult number to remember. But what was important about that article was how it highlights the sense of just how bad our teaching of history is.

Remember a few years ago, when a school board member had the temerity to suggest that a new history curriculum was inadequate, and they got kicked out of office for it? Yeah ... maybe they had something.

But then, I put that column on hold. There was a shooting at the Walmart in Lakewood—which is about 4 miles from where I grew up — and the suspect was killed by police shortly after. I figured that had the potential to be the topic of this week’s column, but nothing much more came of that story.

Wonder why that is?

And, yes, I did note in the interim that the Colorado High School Activities Association made an extra contribution to last week’s column by reversing itself *again* and allowing football to proceed this fall.

Then, of course, everything seemed to change Friday night with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Not that that’s a topic for local discussion, except in so far as it impacts an already contentious U.S. Senate

race here in Colorado. If you thought things were going to be ugly through October before, I suggest you strap in — there may be no period of time in American history short of 1861 to compare to what the next 45 days bring us.

And, of course, in this whole process, we’re all going to completely forget that one of RBG’s closest friends while they were both alive was Antonin Scalia — her philosophical diametric opposite.

Not enough? No. then Saturday I hear from a close friend that one of his children was involved in a serious accident.

And all the other stuff fades to the background.

Are you tired, too?

I know my story is, really, nothing.

It has been met and, probably exceeded, by many of you in any number of ways over the last six months. Those of you who are dealing with serious health issues, who have been personally effected by COVID, who have felt the effects of our lockdown in mental health terms, not to mention single parents or business owners trying to navigate all of the economic disruption while raising families. I feel for you.

2020 has had a number of deleterious effects on all of us, but perhaps the most evil has been the heightened sense of *everything*. You take people out of their routines, and buffet them relentlessly with news for a few months about how they’re going to die unless… Add to that a political environment that is, at best, toxic, and, while everybody is locked in their homes with 24/7 cable news, you put on endless loop scenes of our toxic polity and violent culture. We are all amped up.

2020 is exhausting.

And it’s not over. I have a sneaking suspicion the next couple weeks are going to be explosive, even for

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

Wolves help the environment Growing up on either side of Washington Park, it didn’t occur to me that something was missing from Colorado’s wild country on the other side of Mount Evans. It wasn’t until I was enrolled in Forest Recreation and Wildlife Management courses that CSU professor JVK Wagar introduced me to A Sand County Almanac, in which Aldo Leopold, the father of game management in America wrote much about wolves. He shot one, and over the course of his career, rued it, writing: “Since then I have lived to see … every edible bush and seedling browsed … to death.”

Elk are more numerous now in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming than when wolves were returned in 1995, and wolves are continuing their work of keeping their prey healthy. Livestock losses are minuscule: examining 2015 figures on cattle losses in t the northern Rocky Mountains by counties shared with wolves, we see an inventory of 1,648,100 cows, and 148 losses to wolves, or a rate of about .01%. Wolves are taking less than 1 head of cattle per 10,000 annually, and about 3 sheep per 10,000 present. None of the 110 million visitors to Yellowystone have been hurt, and no one in wolf country has caught anything harmful from a wolf. The park ecosystem has been rejuvenated; visitors are flocking to the park to see wolves.

Proposition 114, to restore wolves to Colorado’s western slope, will be on this November’s ballot. Voting to have wolves back in our Western mountains is an audacious act of hope.

Norman A.Bisop, Bozeman, MT.

-Overdue change Citizens of Congressional District 7 have a strong honorable candidate running for office this election cycle.

Casper Stockham is a Gulf War veteran with 14 years of service in lthe United States Air Force.He is an ethical energetic accomplished leader who is also a business owner and the author of two books.A strong family values man who cherishes civility.

Border security, free market health care, quality education, school choice, legal immigration, second amendment rights and “made in the USA” (jobs) are what he will fight for.All of which are under condemnation by his opponent Ed Perlmutter and his party the radical militant left.

Jefferson County, Golden, other municipalities, corporations, and

fellowship groups are instituting diversity/antiracism resolutions and discussions.If these organizations and associations honestly believe these resolutions and conferences are worthy and constructive, then it is the time for the citizenry to act positively.A show of support by voting Casper, a highly credentialed qualified enthusiastic candidate into Congress will validate their sincere commitment.It is time for a monumental transformation, replace a stagnant inactive career politician (13 years), to represent the good folks of CD7. A vote for Casper will bring about this desperately needed overdue change.

Charles Palmer, Golden Ecological engines I am spending much time with wolves as a volunteer. I am dismayed by vitriolic and unfounded anti-wolf propaganda. Wolves are not savage beasts — they are highly intelligent, social and more like humans than humans want to admit.

Wolves were extirpated from the US on a narrative based largely on human mythology and political expediency.

In the early 1600’s the US started and continues to wage a war on wolves, and by extension on nature. Wolves are ecological engines. Widespread ecological degradation is result of mindless and vicious destruction of this keystone species.

Yellowstone National Park today is clear evidence that the reintroduction of wolves initiated a trophic cascade.

The resultant balance and stability in eco systems, is something in these corrosive and divisive times that Coloradans agree on. A recent CSU survey found that over 84% of our citizens support wolf reintroduction; the support spans every part of the state.

Any serious opposition to wolf reintroduction, must be factual, and lack the “mythological” component.

Wolves prefer prey such as deer, elk, moose; cattle predation in 2015 was less than 0.01%.

Nature’s health and human health are tightly linked. I would urge Coloradan to vote YES on Proposition 114 and give wolves back their rightful place in nature. Restoration of the Gray Wolf will harken back to the times when nature was in balance when wolves and humans co-existed and co-operated with each other.

Rainer W. Gerbatsch, Arvada Hickenlooper for senate I encourage Coloradans to vote for John Hickenlooper for senate this November.Hickenlooper represents mainstream views while his opponent sides with Trump almost every time.

Hickenlooper believes in expanding the Affordable Care Act, including coverage for pre-existing conditions, instead of decimating it.As Governor, he expanded Medicaid and established Connect for Health Colorado where people can get subsidies to help afford coverage.Hickenlooper supports a public option to further expand coverage at the national level.John’s opponent voted repeatedly to repeal the ACA which would mean losing coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Hickenlooper will rely on science to guide a national response to COVID-19.He will support Americans economically until we control the virus. His opponent follows Mitch McConnell, refusing to support continued unemployment payments.

Hickenlooper advocates for economic policies that lessen the gap between rich and poor, including raising the minimum wage, tuition free community college, and creating clean energy jobs.His opponent voted for the Republican tax cut for the wealthy, and routinely sides with large corporations instead of small businesses.

And maybe the most important reason –electing Hickenlooper is the path to flipping the Senate and removing Mitch McConnell from his position of power. Whether your passion is funding for COVID relief, a Green New Deal, reversing Trump’s tax cut for the rich, or anything else, it will die in the Senate until we get rid of Mitch.

Please consider supporting John

Hickenlooper this November, and sharing your support with your friends. Let’s ditch Mitch!

Robin Kupernik, Arvada

A rough year Wow 2020. Just wow. It seems like one thing just gets piled on top of the next.

Pandemic. Deaths. Financial crises.

Hurricanes. Fires. It’s oppressive. The influx of information is constant. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose focus.

There are many things we need to address, but one important thing is to continue to push for a COVID-19 relief package. People are continuing to struggle due to the effects of Coronavirus. We have a housing crisis and a hunger crisis going on. Our legislators have procrastinated long enough on passing a new coronavirus relief package. This is urgent! There are millions of people who are truly struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, amidst all the craziness that 2020 has brought.

A bi-partisan COVID relief proposal was released last week. We need our legislators to act now and pass this proposed package. I’m calling on Cory Gardner, Michael Bennett, and President Donald Trump to pass a relief package that is robust and supportive for Americans who are struggling to make ends meet right now due to this pandemic.

Curious sights around metro area tell historic tales

W

ith many Coloradans still avoiding large crowds with the continued risk of COVID-19, some may be taking a better look at what’s in their neighborhood — or even driving around with no particular place to go.

Wandering eyes may pick up on odd or unusual sights in the Denver metro area — such as a Native American tipi near an upscale suburban neighborhood or, say, a 30-foot cowboy statue overlooking a busy city road.

Here’s the story behind some sights that may inspire curiosity around the Denver metro area.

A cowboy on Federal Those who have driven north of Denver on North Federal Boulevard may have been struck with the sight of a giant cowboy looming over the traffic.

“I have people who pull over and want to take pictures of him, especially with tourists,” said Jeffry Cook, park manager at Rustic Ranch Mobile Home and RV Park.

The park just south of Interstate 76 is home to the detailed cowboy statue, which was originally intended as part of an amusement park that never materialized, according to an old news article clipping Cook has. But it ended up as part of the mobile home park instead.

Built in the 1950s by Colorado artist John Sutton, the cowboy has become something of a local landmark. Cook, 54, remembers seeing the statue as a child.

“A fun fact for you is that the ‘American Pickers’ came to this park,” Cook said, referring to the show on the History Channel. The show tried to buy the cowboy several years ago, according to Cook.

any of us have spent the majority of the last six months or so in our homes, which means at some point we’ve had to reckon with the design choices we’ve made. There’s a reason so many people have COMING tackled projects ATTRACTIONS around the house during this time.

So, as we head into the colder months (when we’re likely to spending much more time inside) this year’s Doors Open Denver not only provides Clarke Reader participants the chance to get some design inspiration from some of the metro area’s most fascinating buildings, it also allows the opportunity to safely, and virtually, explore some new locales.

“This year is all about access,” said Pauline Herrera, executive director of the Denver Architecture Foundation, which presents the annual event. “Doing the virtual experience is a new approach for us, but we’ve had a lot of fun with it. With in-person tours we were limited to how many people could participate, but virtually we can offer more people the chance to see these places.”

Doors Open Denver runs from Monday, Sept. 28 through Thursday, Oct. 15. Virtual tours will be available from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Monday through Thursday. Some of the tours were pre-recorded, but others will be live. And each tour will conclude with a live questionand-answer session.

“It’s important that we offer that continued engagement with people, so we’re excited to have the question-and-answer sessions,” Herrera said. “And with our threeweek run someone could do all the tours, which is difficult to do in the one weekend we normally do.”

Over the last 16 years, sites of all kinds have been explored by participants, but Herrera said it’s key that every year there are fresh properties to be explored. That goal was particularly important this year, and it has resulted in some exclusive experiences for those who take part.

Highlights include the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Freyer-Newman Center, which hasn’t been open to the public yet. Virtual visitors will get a look at the Helen Fowler Library, art galleries, herbaria, classrooms and the School of Botanical Illustration. And people will get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the Museo de las Américas and its exhibit, “Rhythm and Ritual: Music of the Ancient Americas.” Curator Jared Katz will be performing as part of this tour.

In the mobile home park’s 106 units, most residents have lived at the park for at least 20 to 25 years, Cook estimates.

He hopes the cowboy carries some sentimental meaning for those who call the place home.

“I guarantee you that if the cowboy wasn’t there tomorrow, everybody would be knocking on my door asking where the cowboy went,” Cook said.

The park sits just outside northwest Denver in unincorporated Adams County, near Arvada and Westminster.

Tipi along the prairie Along Aurora’s east edge, not far from east Centennial, stands a large gate that bears the word “Plains.”

It’s the entrance to Plains Conservation Center, a nature preserve and educational center that houses replicas of a Native American tipi camp and homestead village, showcasing life on the plains in the late 1800s, according to the City of Aurora’s website.

The center encompasses more than 1,100 acres of shortgrass prairie with views of the Rocky Mountains, located at 21901 E. Hampden Ave., west of toll highway E-470.

In June 1950, the land was deeded to what became the West Arapahoe Conservation District, and the land was formally christened the Plains Conservation Center, according to the center’s website.

In 1997, 1,100 acres were sold to the City of Aurora to remain as passive-use open space, with the center continuing to manage the land and offer programs, the site says.

This is the entrance to Plains Conservation Center, a nature preserve and educational center in Aurora that houses replicas of a Native American tipi camp and homestead village.

North metro residents may be familiar with Adams City High School, which sits along North Quebec Parkway near East 72nd Avenue.

But the name Adams City doesn’t denote an actual city — the school sits in Commerce City.

The Adams City name dates back to an area that was laid out around 1902 with developers hoping that Adams County’s seat — the city or

town that serves as a county’s governmental center — would be established there, according to the Commerce City Historical Society.

But Brighton was elected as the county seat in November 1904. Adams City never became a town and was vacated by 1922, the historical society’s website says.

The South Adams County Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1942, and Adams City was beginning to redevelop with new houses being built. In 1946-47, Adams County School District 14 was formed from surrounding schools, with the first official class from Adams City High School graduating in 1949, according to the website. That school took the place of Union High School, the region’s earlier school, according to an unofficial website for Adams City High alumni and a timeline by the historical society.

The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District was formed in 1951 at the same time Denver was considering annexing, or taking control of, the south Adams area. A plan to incorporate all of southern Adams County — meaning to declare the area as its own city or town — was developed,

Streaming style — ‘John Lewis: Good Trouble’ When Rep. John Lewis died on July 17, the country and the world lost one of the last profoundly decent men.

according to the historical society. In July 1952, a group of about 300 residents voted for incorporation of Commerce Town, comprising neighborhoods such as Rose Hill, Adams City, Dupont and Irondale.

Commerce Town annexed part of the Derby area in 1962, increasing the population fourfold. That was enough for the town to gain status as a city, and its name was then changed to Commerce City, according to the historical society.

At least one business — Adams City Liquor — still carries the area’s old name along with Adams City Middle School.

Four Mile, 17 Mile, 20 Mile Drivers who frequent South Parker Road may recall a large barn a short drive south of East Arapahoe Road.

Located just south of Centennial, the 17 Mile House is one of several inns that emerged along Cherry Creek for travelers and freighters when the 1859-60 gold rush caused largescale settlement of the state, according to the Arapahoe County website.

The property is an Arapahoe County park that sits at 8181 S. Parker Road, just north of the Town of Parker.

The story of his life defies an easy summation - his civil rights struggles, governmental work and role as the “conscience of Congress” deserve indepth and careful study.

But the new documentary “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” at least begins to address the impact of his lie. And the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is taking part in a nationwide watch, along with more than 60 arts and cultural institutions.

In addition to the film, there’s two ex-

two to three miles along the Cherokee/Smoky Hill wagon trails from Kansas, named based on their distance to the intersection of Colfax Avenue and North Broadway in Denver, according to the website.

Out of the original six mile houses, only 17 Mile House and Four Mile House exist in their entirety today, the website says.

The buildings also included Seven Mile House, Nine Mile House, 12 Mile House and 20 Mile House, according to the National Register of Historic Places.

At mile houses, travelers could get a meal, spend the night, rest their animals and have minor repairs made to coaches or wagons, according to the Arapahoe County website.

The 17 Mile barn was constructed in the late 1870s, according to a county news release.

Construction likely began on what was to become the 20 Mile House around the mid-to-late 1860s, according to the Parker Area Historical Society.

The old 20 Mile House property continued to be a working farm until the mid-1990s, when the property was acquired by developers. Eventually, the cinderblock portion was torn down and the small plot of land on which the 20 Mile House structure was built was donated to the Town of Parker. With the help of the historical society, the original post office portion was restored and surrounded by a small park, according to the historical society’s website.

The 20 Mile Post Office sits on Mainstreet, a short drive west of Parker Road — and close to Twenty Mile Road.

Four Mile Historic Park sits in Denver, a short drive from South Colorado Boulevard and Leetsdale Drive.

AUMC celebrates 150th with hope, honks Congregants say church has long been a pillar of acceptance and community

AUMC Members Ben and Maggie Roe speak with staff member Laura Winberg as they get their spot for AUMC’s parking lot service.

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During its many decades of operation, the congregation at the Arvada United Methodist Church has withstood everything from the Great Depression, which left it with $3.35 in the bank at one point, to recent divisions over same sex marriage.

So it should be no surprise that neither the COVID-19 pandemic nor the smoky Arvada air created by ongoing wildfires could keep the church’s congregants from celebrating their 150th anniversary with one of the drive-in services the church has adopted in recent months in response to the challenge posed by the pandemic.

It was a celebration that could be heard from blocks around as many of the nearly 100 cars joyfully honked their horns in celebration of the church’s milestone birthday.

“What I love about this celebration is that you are not celebrating a building that is 150 years old you are celebrating a community of faith that has been in this community,” said Karen Oliveto, the United Methodist Bishop of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Utah who led the Sept. 20 birthday service as a guest of the church.

That community traces its history back to 1859, when men riding on horseback to evangelize the new

frontier would visit gold miners working Ralston Creek. The first Methodist church service was held in 1863 in the home of early settler Oliver Graves, whose descendants still attend the church today. But it was the church’s official founding in 1870, when it counted 30 members including Arvada co-founder Benjamin Wadsworth, that the birthday celebration commemorated.

Camille Parker, who has been attending Arvada UMC since 1970, said that for her the church has always meant an open community whose ethos is summarized by the church’s old tag line “a church where science, religion and life are compatible.”

“That to me sums up who the church is: it’s very openminded and progressive yet it asks a lot of tough questions and it doesn’t shirk away from the questions that the community and congregation asks,” Parker said. “I and apparently a lot of the people who go here like the fact that it is a thinking person’s church but still

very spiritual.”

However, Arvada UMC has also long been guided by another saying — “there is room at the table for all.”

That saying dates back to Pastor Earl Hanna, who died earlier this year and was the longest serving pastor at the church.

That saying is embodied by the role the church plays in the larger community life in Arvada by putting on such activities as its annual community August picnic.

Each week, members of the congregation also make 300 burritos that are distributed at The Rising Church, a church in Olde Town Arvada that serves residents dealing with poverty, addiction, marginalization and other issues.

Arvada UMC has also been involved in constructing and donating Habitat for Humanity homes.

“This church is constantly searching for things to do for the congregation and the community,” said Bob Stolte, who began attending Arvada

Leaders, as my friend Carmel has done for Writing for Peace, develop and articulate a clear mission, vision and values to guide others. These leaders create, commit to and communicate a learning plan that makes sense to me – effective leadership that includes the “attitudes, knowledge, skills and behavior” of a changed culture. This holds true for a classroom, an employee or volunteer team, or a society hungry for clarity.

But leaders don’t – and can’t – do it alone. Especially in times of turmoil and change, leaders must also rely on others who “catch the vision.” I remember clearly the day I met Carmel when she was just founding Writing for Peace. It only took me an instant to catch her vision and say, “I’m in.” I encourage all of us to evaluate those who have caught a leader’s vision and decide how this fits with our own personal goals and visions.

And of course, we all stumble, sometimes more than we care to

“And I think that is the future of this church.”

That sentiment was echoed by the church’s lead Pastor Amy Gearhart.

“Most churches in our country don’t get to experience a 150th celebration, so we are richly blessed,” Gearhart said. “We also want to continue to be a blessing to our community and region through partnerships to serve the hungry, lonely, homeless, hopeless, and marginalized.”

During the birthday service, Oliveto repeatedly returned to the message that the story of the church was one of hope and extolled the congregation to see the church as a source of hope amidst the trouble and despair that have defined much of 2020.

“The forebears of your church did not turn themselves solely inward and their remained throughout the 150 years of this church a deep commitment to bring hope healing and restoration of healthy humanity for a broken world,” she said.

“They never stopped hoping and they never stopped working for a better world. And now we are being asked the same.” admit. That’s why – especially amid change and uncertainty – leaders celebrate successes, no matter how small. Look to those you admire to join in these successes … there is much to despair right now but there are also glimmers of hope for surviving the pandemic and for easing the social tensions that have torn at the fabric of civil society.

Fortunately, we can usually recognize good leadership. We can instantly see and feel when someone lights the way by modeling the changes they want to help create. In trying times, we instinctively turn to leaders who build trust and credibility by being honest about change.

Out of all of this, what seems important to me right here, right now, is that we need to seek out and recognize leaders who exemplify our own personal values, leaders who are full of hope and vision and possibilities of what can be … leaders who take us with them in acceptance, action and the celebration of success.

Construction underway on Clear Creek Crossing Apartments, new hospital and, eventually, restaurants and entertainment

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After years of discussion and planning dating as far back as 2013, the Clear Creek Crossing project is starting to rise in Wheat Ridge.

Located on vacant land just to the west of the intersection of I-70 and Highway 58 that was long owned by Coors, current plans call for Clear Creek Crossing to be a mixed-use development that will consist of apartments, restaurants, stores, hotels and public spaces all anchored by a new SLC Lutheran Medical Center.

Those driving by the site on I-70 can now see the construction of the first of the buildings that will contain a total of 300 apartments, said Evergreen Development Managing Principal Tyler Carlson.

The first of those units should be ready to start being leased in early 2021 with construction on the rest of the buildings continuing for the rest of that year, according to developers.

“We’re making good progress from a timing standpoint,” said Carlson.

“The dry weather is not good for wildfires but it’s great for contractors to keep their crews moving.”

But that’s not all that’s happening at the site — Carlson said construction is also underway on a new Kum & Go gas station as crews also work to

LUTHERAN’S FUTURE Planning is ongoing for the new Lutheran Medical Center facility, which will be on 26 acres versus the 100 acres of the old site. The new facility will include a stateof-the-art hospital as well as two medical office buildings and parking. Construction will likely begin next year with the project being completed in three years.

“They’ve hired engineering firms and construction firms for and real estate firms actually for both their old site and their new site,” said Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff. “So, they’re really gearing up to kick off their project, which is exciting.” finish site grading and utilities work on other parts of the property. Work will also begin in the next two months on a new three-story headquarters for Foothills Credit Union.

Then there is the construction of the new I-70 flyover bridge over West 32nd Avenue, which will tie all of on-ramps together and is set to be completed by the year.

But just as those parts of the project get off the ground, others are facing new stumbling blocks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Early plans for the development called for it to be divided into five districts devoted to different uses, including two devoted to retail, entertainment and leisure uses. Carlson said that while Evergreen Development is still ultimately committed to that plan, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has left many businesses that would fill the spaces in those districts unwilling to commit to them at this time.

That’s been particularly true for

PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO the types of smaller “mom and pop” businesses Evergreen is hoping to attract to the Harvest Village portion of the development, which was set to consist of small retail businesses built around a central space with water features and an ice cream kiosk. As a result, those portions of the project are delayed” “Had COVID-19 not happened we would have about half of the retail part of the project under construction right now,” said Carlson. “But it’s still great property with infrastructure in place and a phenomenal partnership with the city so Clear Creek Crossing will certainly have its day in the sun.

Things have been slowed down a little bit this year which is just how real estate works.”

Despite those challenges, Carlson said he is in negotiations with two potential anchor businesses that have been less impacted by COVID-19.

When those other parts of the project are built, the city’s residents will be more than ready for them, City Manager Patrick Goff said.

“A big portion of the Wheat Ridge community has been asking for more options in their own community so they don’t have to go to Lakewood or Avada to recreate and entertain themselves,” Goff said. “It’s amazing how excited people got about the new Hacienda Colorado and so I think what’s most exciting with this project is that it will provide that place where families can go instead of spending their money elsewhere.”

Jeffco golfers wrap up league play at West Woods Golf Club Arvada West senior Tyler Tyson uses some body language on a putt on his front-nine Sept. 14 at West Woods Golf Club.

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — The final Jeffco League boys golf tournament of the season had a very different feel than normal Sept. 14 at West Woods Golf Club in Arvada.

There was no final gathering of Class 5A and 4A Jeffco teams to hand out individual all-conference awards and league team titles due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, golfers were able to successfully finish off the final Jeffco League tournament of the season.

“I’m very pleased with how it turned out,” Ralston Valley boys golf coach Jeff Wasinger said. “There is a little letdown at the end of the tournament, even today. You finish your round, turn in your scorecard electrically and then go home. But we were allowed to play and actually had a season.”

Ralston Valley wrapped up the 5A Jeffco League team title with the strong team of seniors Jack Larson, Trey Kirschner, junior Gage Messingham, along with sophomores Jordan McCaslin and Logan Forister. Messingham clinched the overall individual medalist title with a 4-under-par, 68.

Messingham edged Lakewood senior Ryan Liao by two strokes over the five league tournaments.

“It means a lot,” Messingham said of the Mustangs winning the league title. “Last year we couldn’t do it, but this year our team played really well throughout the season and pulled it off.”

The Mustangs were able to hold off

Lakewood junior Max Lange watches his drive on the par 4 No. 3 hole at West Woods Golf Club in Arvada on Sept. 14. Lange won his second straight Jeffco League tournament with a round of 67 before heading to the state-qualifying regional tournament this week.

Liao also shot a 68. Larson fired an even-par, 72 to finished tied for sixth.

“It’s a feel good thing. We set that out as a goal,” Wasinger said of Ralston Valley winning the league team title.

“We knew we had a good team and it was kind of building over the years.”

The 5A Jeffco League proved to be one of the strongest conferences in the state. In fact, a round in the 60s was shot during each of the five

league tournaments. Arvada West senior Tyler Tyson, Columbine senior Drex Duffy, Lakewood junior Max Lange, Liao Messingham, Larson and Kirschner were the seven individuals who all had at least one round in the 60s this season during league play.

“They are opening peoples’ eyes,” Wasinger said of the play of the top 5A Jeffco players this Fall. “Jeffco golf really has some powerful teams and impressive players. Going into regionals there is no reason to fear anybody.”

Ralston Valley hosted the 5A

Western Regional on Monday, Sept.

21, at Raccoon Creek Golf Course in Littleton.

“Of course we have to focus on regionals and qualifying as a team,” Messingham said. “Hopefully we win state. It is at a course we all know.

Hopefully we can pull it off.”

The 5A state tournament will be Oct. 5 and 6 at The Club in Rolling Hills in Golden.

Lange — last year’s 5A Jeffco individual medalist — won the final league tournament with a 5-underpar, 67 at West Woods. The Lakewood junior will enter the 5A Central Regionals at Overland Golf Course on Wednesday, Sept. 23, coming off backto-back tournament wins with rounds of 68 and 67 to close out league play.

Dakota Ridge senior Jacob White dominates at Durden Invitational

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — There were a couple of significant changes during the annual cross country Wildcat Invitational hosted by Arvada West High School.

First, races began at 8:30 a.m. Sept.

18 with the idea to beat the afternoon heat. With Jeffco Public Schools’ high school all on remote learning on Fridays it was more feasible to have a morning start.

The second change was a name change. The Wildcat Invitational was renamed the Durden Invitational this year. A-West decided to honor Benji and Amie Durden, both have been very impactful on the running community in Colorado. Benji Durden was 2nd at the U.S. Olympic Trials back in 1980. If not for the U.S. boycotting the Olympic games in Moscow that year, Durden would have run for U.S. at the Olympics.

One thing that was the same was Dakota Ridge’s Jacob White crossing the finish-line first. The senior won the boys race in a time of 15 minutes, 55 seconds. Ralston Valley senior James Ramey placed 2nd, more than 50 seconds behind White.

However, White was less than thrilled with his time on the course run at Stenger Soccer Complex in Arvada.

“I wasn’t happy with it,” White said of his sub-16 minute time. “I have been kind of off for the last couple of months. I feel myself getting back on track. Hopefully next week I’ll get that low 15-minute time.”

Wheat Ridge sophomore Madelyn Baillie (4159) and Columbine junior Margaret Schmitz race side-by-side toward the finish-line during the girls race of the Durden Invitational on Sept. 18.

White has his sights on a fourth straight appearance at the state meet coming up Oct. 17 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. White has finished in the Class 5A Top-6 individually the past two years, along with helping the Eagles to back-to-back 5A team titles.

The senior and one of the top distance runners in the state does give a lot of credit to former teammates like Austin Vancil (University of Colorado) and Connor Ohlson (Air Force Academy).

“It has been very helpful,” White said of his experiences of backto-back team 5A team state title at Dakota Ridge. “I’m so grateful. I would never be where I’m at today with those guys (Austin Vancil and Connor Ohlson). Without them none of this would have happened.”

Dakota Ridge senior Jacob White cruised around the Stenger Soccer Complex to win the Durden Invitational on Sept. 18. White is attempting to finish on the podium for the third straight year at the state cross country meet. PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Ralston Valley did edge Dakota Ridge for the team title at the Durden Invitational. Ralston Valley seniors James Ramey, Jack Donze, Ethan Grolnic and Aiden Logan all finished Top-10.

On the girls side, Standley Lake senior Sophia Abernethy claimed another individual crown this season with a time of 20:17.8. D’Evelyn girls won the team title with sophomore Jayden Miller, seniors Sonja Morin and Kati Livingood finishing Top-10.

Coming up quickly is the 5A and 4A Jeffco League Cross Country Championships. The 4A Jeffco League

championships is scheduled for Oct. 1 at Stoney Creek Golf Course. The 5A Jeffco League championships will run the following day on Oct. 2 at Stoney Creek.

It has been a different season with different protocols and restrictions.

“It has been difficult,” White said of the cross country season during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Honestly, there is no excuses for me. I just have to go out there and work on the process.”

Football, field hockey, spirit gain approval for fall Governor, CHSAA give schools the option of competing

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado High School Activities Association on Sept. 16 signed off on allowing high school football and field hockey games to happen in the fall despite the coronavirus.

Schools have the option of resuming the sports in the coming weeks if they are ready, or waiting until the spring.

CHSAA’s board met to decide whether to move forward with the seasons after the Polis administration earlier in the day approved variances to allow the sports to resume. By a 12-3 vote, the board decided to allow schools to resume the sports under the variances.

“We are in a pandemic,” Troy Baker, president of CHSAA’s board of directors and the athletic director at Buena Vista High School, said in a written statement. “It’s not normal times.

We’re all trying to find a way to navigate through it, with the hope of trying to find some normalcy in our lives.

There isn’t a guide of how to do this.”

Sideline spirit — also known as cheer — will also be allowed to resume in the fall.

Under variances approved by state, all participants who are not actively playing or performing must wear masks and be 6 feet apart. Players and performers may not go into spectator areas and are required to observe

mask-wearing and social-distancing rules while traveling to games.

The variances approved by Polis’ team allow for 50 players per sideline to be on the field during a football game. In field hockey, the variance allows for 25 players per sideline, per game.

“We have worked closely with CHSAA to approve their request, issue guidelines and assist in creating a process that supports a return to football, field hockey and cheer,” Polis said in a written statement.

The governor and CHSAA have been facing pressure across the state to allow more high school sports to resume.

Many districts have or are about to resume in-person classes.

Earlier this month, Polis said he thought there was an opening for high school football to resume in the fall.

CHSAA initially balked at the idea.

Some high school sports have already resumed, like golf and cross country.

CHSAA has requested variances for gymnastics, boys soccer, spirit, girls volleyball and unified bowling, which are traditionally played during the fall season. The Polis administration is still considering how to move forward on those sports.

If coronavirus transmission in a county starts to rise too quickly, schools there would no longer be allowed to offer football, field hockey and cheer.

Wheat Ridge softball gets back on track in 4A Jeffco

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WHEAT RIDGE — Wheat Ridge’s softball team didn’t have any time to dwell over its first loss of the season.

Less than 24 hours after the Farmers — No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A rankings — suffered a 7-6 loss to Bear Creek, Wheat Ridge was back on the field Sept. 15 to face rival Golden in another 4A Jeffco League game.

“It was drilled into us right at the end of the (Bear Creek) game,” Wheat Ridge senior Amaya Ruiz said of how important it was for the Farmers to bounce back. “We have to stay humble.

We can’t be perfect every single game.

We came out today and did our best.”

Golden (4-8, 1-3 in league) came in to the Farmers’ home field on a 4-game winning streak and grabbed an early 1-0 lead with an RBI single by senior Caitlyn Stevens. However, it was all Farmers from there on out.

Wheat Ridge (10-1, 3-1) had an 11-run bottom of the 2nd inning sending 14 batters to the plate. Ruiz had a 2-run double and senior Cassie Uhl highlighted the inning with a 2-run home run to finish off the 11-run inning.

“We had to respond after Golden’s run,” Ruiz said of Wheat Ridge scoring 11 runs in the bottom of the second inning.

Juniors Bella Martinez and Aaliyah Arellano each had RBIs in the third inning to push the Farmers’ lead to 13-1 through three innings. Senior Jalesa Lujan got the win on the mound for the Farmers. She was able to scatter four Demon hits.

“We still have a lot of things to

“I didn’t have the greatest league season,” admitted Lange, who shot a 75 and 77 in his first two league tournaments. “I wish I would have shot 10-under today, but I’m not too disappointed with 5-under.”

Lange is excited about the location of the 5A state tournament in three weeks.

“I’m going to try to finish (regionals and state) how I finished my league season,” Lange said. “State will be at my home course at Rolling Hills. I play there every day.”

Wheat Ridge senior Amaya Ruiz, left, slides back into second base ahead of a tag by Golden junior Jailee Kennedy. Ruiz went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBIs in the Farmers’ 13-1 victory Sept. 15 at Pennington Field in Wheat Ridge.

PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS address,” Wheat Ridge coach Marty Stricklett said. “I would have honestly liked to practice today, but for team morale it was probably good that we had a game today.”

Stricklett coached the Farmers to four 4A state titles — 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013 — is back at Wheat Ridge on a one year before assistant coach Dave Theis takes over the program. Stricklett most recently coached at Brighton, while Theis was at Grandview before both returned to Wheat Ridge this season. Theis coached the Wolves to a 5A state title in 2014.

The Farmers will have to make up some ground and likely win their remaining five conference games to win the league title and clinch the automatic 4A state tournament bid.

“We were just flat,” Stricklett said of the loss against Bear Creek which was

just Stricklett’s second league loss in 13 years coaching high school softball at Wheat Ridge and Brighton. “We hit one ball hard yesterday. At lot of that had to do with Bear Creek’s pitcher (Jordyn Johnson). We gave up six runs early and that buried us.”

The last conference loss for Stricklett was in 2014 in a no-hit loss against Valor Christian.

“If you don’t give 100 percent you are going to lose ball games. We learned that yesterday,” Stricklett said. “We learned what our true 100 percent has to be.”

Wheat Ridge has a tough non-league test at home Sept. 18. The Farmers faced Chatfield — No. 6 in the 5A rankings — and the Farmers responded with a big 12-5 victory.

“We are hungry for every single game,” Ruiz said. “Every single game

is important. We can’t underestimate anybody.”

The Farmers hammered Evergreen 19-1 on Sept. 20 to finish off the 3-game stretch.

“Pressure helps us,” Ruiz said. “If we make it to state the pressure is going to be on. We are high up in the rankings so there is already pressure on us because every team we play wants us. We just have to play our own game.”

Liao — 5A Jeffco individual medalist as a freshman and sophomore — finished just behind Messingham for the title this season. The Lakewood senior has had back-to-back Top-4 finishes at the state tournament that past two years.

With Liao’s history, he is very capable of contending with a number of other strong Jeffco players at state coming up the first week of October.

“I was actually honestly expecting this low of golf scores last year,” Liao said of Jeffco. “Everyone had the talent last year. No one was really playing that well. Now this year everyone is playing to what they are supposed to and it’s looking good.”

Liao is one of the longest hitting players in the state and he has some wishes for the setup at Rolling Hills in a few weeks.

“I hope they play it longer to make it a little tougher,” Liao said. “I know the greens will be tough. Overall it’s a great course.”

On the 4A Jeffco side, Evergreen captured the team title. Senior Jack Mitchell led the Cougars winning the final 4A Jeffco League tournament with a 2-over-par, 74.

Green Mountain senior Oliver Gibbons just edged Conifer senior Dakota Dolph for the overall individual medalist title by a single stroke over the five tournaments. Gibbons shot a 76

and Dolph had a 77 on Monday at West Woods. Gibbons and Dolph entered the final conference tournament with identical 9-hole averages of 37.83 strokes.

No matter what happens at regionals and state. Jeffco can say it completed a success conference season that might have looked a bit different.

“We’ve got to be grateful that CHSAA gave this opportunity to us and we’ve had to adhere to the safety protocols that have been set. We didn’t want to mess it up,” Wasinger said. “CHSAA gave us a gift and we took it as a privilege.”
