‘What will happen to these people?’

For those sheltering with motel vouchers amid pandemic, the future is murky

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

James and Desiree Jackson felt like they had life pretty well under control.

The couple, together for nearly a decade, lived in a comfortable home in Aurora. Desiree stayed home to care for their two young daughters while James worked at

his longtime job at King Soopers.

But late last year, when James came down with an autoimmune disorder that began consuming his internal organs, their situation degraded quickly.

Unable to work, they couldn’t pay rent and lost the house. Desiree’s family was mired in substance abuse issues and was no help. Now pregnant with a third daughter, the family moved in with James’ mom — who soon passed away.

The family struck out on the streets with little more than backpacks and a stroller, lugging a heavy weighted blanket to keep the girls warm at night. They slept SEE VOUCHERS, P6

Michael Curtis moved into the Holiday Motel after months living in his Jeep while nursing a broken shoulder.

A plan to get some kids back in the classroom by late January was unveiled in a special session of the Jeffco School Board, Wednesday, Dec 16, 2020.

Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh started the presentation with two words. Gratitude, referring to the gratitude he felt for the hundreds of student families and stakeholders he met with during the creation of the Restart Plan. He thanked them for their candor, criticism, comments, questions, time and feedback. The second word was collaboration, referencing the collaborative nature of the process that was assisted by other superintendents and public health officials.

Dr. Susan Leach, Chief Student Success Officer at Jeffco Public Schools, discussed several benefits of in-person learning including its capacity to better meet the academic, social and emotional needs of students.

“The statistics related to youth health and mental health since the onset of the pandemic are just staggering,” she said. “As you can imagine, we’re seeing increased mental health issues in both children and adults, and these children and SEE SCHOOL, P3

‘The magic of the holiday season’ Apex Park and Recreation keeps the Christmas spirit alive with Santa Letters box

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Each day, 4-year-old Cooper Wright eagerly waited for his letter to arrive. You know, the one from Santa Claus.

“He doesn’t understand the process. He thinks it’s instantaneously,” said his mother, Kendra Wright.

“I repeatedly have to tell him that it has to go up to the North Pole to Santa and then he’ll send it back to Arvada. We talk about that with the Christmas letter, Christmas cards.

He’s learning the concept. It’s been fun to watch.”

Just as much fun as it was for Cooper and his older sister, Charlotte, 8, to write their letters this year and, with mom in tow, walk over to the Apex Center and mail it off via the Santa Letters box sitting in the lobby of the recreation facility.

“They were so excited to mail (their letters) over to Santa,” Wright said.

This has been an annual ritual for the family as well as for the Apex Park and Recreation District, which has been handling Santa Letters for as long as Katie Groke, the marketing and communications director for Apex, can remember.

“We’re working hard to spread Christmas and holiday cheer to our community,” Grok said. “This is one of the traditional ways that Apex has always spread joy, tried to spread joy in the community. It’s a tradition that kids have done for years and their parents did when they were kids.”

Apex Park and Recreation couldn’t have most of its holiday events this year, but the Santa Letters mailbox was one way — a safe way — to keep a holiday tradition alive, Groke said. Children had two weeks from Dec. 2-16 where they could bring in letters that would be mailed to Santa. Each child who brought in a letter with a return mailing address would get it answered courtesy of help from Arvada’s active adult community, otherwise known as “Elder Elves.”

Groke said that Apex usually

The Letters to Santa mail box is filled with letters on Dec. 16, the last day Apex was receiving letters before sending them off to be mailed back to the children who provided a return address.

receives about 200 letters, but she was expecting a little more than 100 this year, including ones from her own children — 8-year-old Chloe and 6-year-old brother Gus. Chloe asked for clothes for her Barbie doll collection, while Gus, an avid gamer, was clamoring for the new PlayStation 5.

“My dad really wants a PS5,” Gus admitted, though he wants them to play games together.

Two things Gus specifically asked Santa not to bring — underwear and socks. You know, the practical needs that no kid cares much for.

demic still wreaking havoc. Families won’t get together as much as they have in the past. Yet, still, the Apex Center was striving to keep the spirit alive.

“With everything that’s going on this year, we’re trying to make everything as special as possible and keep them as happy as possible,” Wright said.

While her son may be too young to understand the swiftness of mailing a letter to the North Pole, her daughter, while not as caught up in

the delivery process, still embraces the holiday season with open arms.

“She 100% loves the spirit of Santa and Christmas. There’s no doubt in her mind. It just lights up her eyes,” Wright said. “To get any mail from Santa is very important. It makes her so happy. I know that she saves all of them.”

Wright has Apex Park and Recreation District to thank for that opportunity.

“They were still able to keep the magic of the holiday season going.”

adults with pre-existing mental health conditions tend to have their symptoms exacerbated when we see exposure to the additional stressors or those feelings of not having control over your circumstances.”

She said that performance gaps within historically underrepresented populations have widened since the beginning of the pandemic.

Other data Leach cited showed mental health-related ER visits for adolescents have increased.

Leach did say that contrary to some rumors, there has been no evidence to show an increase in the local suicide rate.

Next, Julie Wilken, Jeffco Schools’ Director of Health Services, summarized the current status of the Jeffco Covid Dial and what it meant in regard to reopening schools. She

showed the correlation between increased Covid positivity rates in the community, and in the schools, that led to the recent return to remote learning. Wilken also presented detailed graphs and charts highlighting the rapid increase in numbers of Covid-positive students during the month of November that made it impossible to continue in-person learning for the remainder of the calendar year.

Tom McDermott, the District’s Chief Strategy Officer, continued the presentation, noting that the implementation of the plan was contingent on the county remaining at level red, or below.

Reopening timeline

Jan. 6, 2021, continue in-person learning for students with significant disabilities, some Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, and Preschool.

Grades K-5: Jan. 6 - Jan. 15 Remote learning

continues. Return to in-person after a 14-day incubation period following the New Year.

Jan. 19 In-person learning begins.

Grades 6-12: Jan. 6 - Jan 29 Remote learning continues.

Feb 1 Hybrid learning considered Conditions for Hybrid for Grades 6-12

A return to a Hybrid learning model for grades 6-12 is supported by public health officials when the county reaches Level Orange on the Covid Status Dial or with improving metrics in Level Red. The district would also have to see K-5 Schools being operationally stable, without widespread school closures due to quarantines, and that the county overall case counts continue to decline.

Jefferson County demonstrates a plateau in case incident rates, followed by a decline.

The next steps include schools organizing in implementing the

plan with central staff colleagues, communicating the plan to the public and continuing to advocate for supports from the state to maintain in-person options for students.

Other topics covered in the special session included an update on Jeffco’s Superintendent search and the timeline, methods and marketing plan they intend to use. The search will begin mid-January with surveys, community engagement activities and advertisements. The schedule shows the Board conducting initial interviews for the position in early March, 2021 and making a final decision on a candidate, with a public announcement of their choice by early May, 2021.

The first agenda item of the special session was a discussion of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CARF) for Fiscal Year 2020. A basic summary showed the District’s liabilities were greater than their assets by about $1.4 million, largely because of pension obligations.

Higher Loan Limits and Lower Rates Improve Affordability for Homebuyers

Both the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have been in the headlines in the past couple weeks with their respective announcements that they will be raising mortgage loan limits for 2021. I exchanged emails with Jaxzann Riggs, owner of The Mortgage Network in Denver, to learn more about loan limits and what their implications are for potential purchasers.

Here’s what I learned from her. Although loan limits have been around for many years for both conventional loans (loans that conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s loan standards) and FHA loans (loans insured against default by the Federal government), the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 has largely shaped how we know them today. The 2008 act established a base loan limit of $417,000 for conventional loans and, due to the declining price trend in the real estate market at the

time, also included a mandate that this baseline limit would not increase until prices rose to previous levels. In 2016, FHFA increased loan limits for the first time in ten years, and they have increased every year since. HERA also mandated that FHA set loan limits at 115% of area median house prices, with a floor and ceiling on both limits.

January 1, 2020 will see conventional loan limits for singlefamily properties increase from $510,400 to $548,250 as a baseline. High-cost areas (which always included places like Aspen and Boulder, but now also includes the metro area) have a maximum loan limit that is a multiple of the area’s median home value, up to 150% of the baseline. Denver, Jefferson, Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, and Douglas counties will all be seeing an increase from $575,000 to $596,850.

Boulder county increases to $654,350.

The increase in these limits means that more borrowers will be able to qualify for a conventional loan versus having to obtain a high-balance or jumbo loan,

Narrated Video Tours Still Rare in Real Estate The term “virtual tour” was introduced to the real estate industry a couple decades ago, but only because photography vendors were able to convince listing agents to hire them and competed to offer the coolest technology.

Early vendors wowed us with 360degree still photos of each room, although that is now out of style.

The latest “shiny object” is a product

by Matterport. I remember getting a demo of it 5 or 6 years ago at a trade show in San Francisco. They call their product an interactive virtual reality (VR) tour of still photos in which you can use your mouse or finger to rotate each photo manually left to right or up and down.

Gray circles indicate new photo points.

You click or touch them and you are taken to that place where you can, again, rotate horizontally or vertically. Thus, you can, at your own pace, navigate around the entire listing choosing which room you want to enter and leave.

Still, it’s only a collection of still photos with no narration. Personally I find it kind of dizzying and nowhere near as useful as being walked through the home by a listing agent with a video camera who explains the obvious and not-so-

obvious features of the home.

I have been selling real estate now for 19 years and seen maybe a dozen different variations of the “virtual tour” concept, but almost all of them are nothing more than still photos presented in different, often interactive ways. None have the advantage of a simple video walkthrough of a home by the listing agent.

That’s what we do at Golden Real Estate, and have been doing since 2007. Click on any or our listings at GRElistings.com to see what an effective narrated video tour looks like.

What amazes me is how few agents do what we do. Surprisingly, only half of 50 currently active listing in Arvada and Lakewood have any “virtual tour” on the MLS, but more surprisingly only one of them had a narrated video tour. The rest were not videos at all but slide shows, most of them with music, but 10 silent.

Two had actual videos but they were aerial videos only. Eleven of them had the interactive Matterport slideshows described above.

The one narrated tour was quite good in the detail which the agent shared, but the female agent chose to be in half the scenes. I prefer being behind the camera.

which typically comes with a higher interest rate.

It’s important to remember that purchase price does not necessarily correlate with loan limits. If a borrower plans, for example, to purchase a property for $750,000 but puts a significant amount of money down, thus bringing their loan amount under the conforming limit, they can still qualify for a conventional loan.

The FHA’s loan limit increases are tied closely to those conventional loan limit increases. The FHA has increased its nationwide limit to $548,250. In the Denver metro area (except Boulder) the loan limit has increased to $596,850, up from $575,000 in 2020.

Although loan limits are most frequently mentioned in terms of singlefamily homes or one-unit properties, both conventional and FHA loans also impose limits on duplexes, triplexes and

fourplexes. These increase at the same time and at the same frequency as singleunit loan limits. In the case of the FHA, which also insures Home Equity Conversion Mortgages — also known as HECMs or Reverse mortgages — there will be a January 1, 2021, loan limit increase to $822,375. Unlike traditional loan limits, this increase applies across the board, regardless of what market the home is located in.

Next year is sure to be a year of changes, and mortgage loan limits are no exception. The increase in limits for both FHA and conventional loans matched with historically low rates and 3-3.5% down payment options just might be the ticket to purchasing your dream home.

Regardless of what loan type you are seeking, I recommend giving Jaxzann Riggs with The Mortgage Network a call at (303) 990-2992.

Back in April 2019, I offered to set up Free Neighborhood Alerts for any reader who wanted to keep track of real estate activity in his or her subdivision or larger area. The response was overwhelming. I myself received over 40 requests.

I’m not complaining. My broker associates and I are pleased to make this service available to everyone who wants it, and we’ve become pretty efficient at creating these free alerts.

The MLS system allows members to set up an unlimited number of email alerts, so feel free to ask for your own neighborhood alert. All our broker associates are able to create these highly personalized reports. Just give us your address and the boundaries of the area you wish to monitor. The initial alert will tell you all the active, under contract, sold, withdrawn and expired listings in that area, going back 90 or 180 days or longer.

Future alerts will come to you within 15 minutes of a new or changed listing

being entered on the MLS. You will literally be up-to-the-minute in your knowledge of real estate activity in your neighborhood!

I’m happy to handle every request I get from readers, but if you know one of our broker associates, feel free to direct your request to him or her. They are listed below and are more than happy to provide this free service. Send your requests by email only, please.

In addition to setting up the neighborhood alert for you, we can also send you valuation reports on your home using two different software packages — Realtor Property Resource (RPR), which is only available from members of the Realtor association, and Realist — that you will find are much more accurate than the Zillow “Zestimates,” which home owners are used to seeing.

I also like to provide a spreadsheet of active, under contract and sold listings that are comparable to your own home, which serves as a double-check on those two valuations.

Readers Appreciate Our Free Neighborhood Alerts

New technology is a game changer in detecting lymphedema Cancer patients could increase odds of reversing this painful condition

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

New diagnostic technology is helping medical professionals screen patients for the early signs of lymphedema. Allowing therapists to catch this frightening condition early can make a huge difference in the patient’s outcome.

Lymphedema causes fluid retention, swelling, and extreme pain in some cases. It affects up to 30% of patients treated for breast cancer, melanoma and pelvic area cancers. According to research by the National Cancer Institute, anywhere from 5% to 53% of women who have removal, or biopsy, of lymph nodes associated with breast cancer treatment can develop lymphedema.

Kay Karford was one of those women. She played tennis, practiced yoga and had always been active, so occasional aches and pains weren’t out of the ordinary when they came up. But in 2019 she started having pain under her arm and went to her doctor just to check things out. A dose of antibiotics seemed to do the trick, but when the pain returned she got checked again — tests, biopsies, the works.

The diagnosis that came back this time was a jaw-dropper. Stage

four cancer. Hearing a doctor say the words would be a nightmare for almost anyone. They had discovered a tumor in her breast and suspicious lymph nodes under her arm.

A bit of good news came when her diagnosis was changed to stage 3B (meaning the cancer has spread into the surrounding tissue, including some lymph tissue but not to the brain, bones, lungs or liver yet). But surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatments and anti-estrogen drugs soon followed. Karford’s treatments were successful in controlling the progression of her cancer, but for her, like many women, the breast cancer, treatment wasn’t the end of the story, or the pain. Soon after she finished radiation treatments she

developed lymphedema.

“It wakes you up at night and you can’t do normal activities,” Karford said. “It can feel like there’s a football under my arm that won’t go away. It’s very painful.”

Historically, what’s made the condition even more insidious is that by the time medical professionals were able to diagnose it, it was often too advanced to get the most benefit from treatment. If caught in its earliest stages, lymphedema can sometimes be reversed. If not, it can be more difficult to effectively treat.

Stephanie Bowman is an Occupational Therapist that works with the oncology community and lymphedema patients. She’s been treating Karford, employing a technology

called SOZO that’s been rolled out in several treatment facilities across the metro area. SOZO does a few different things, but its ability to detect changes in a patient’s fluid levels is why Bowman believes it’s making older testing methods obsolete.Ideally, when a cancer patient is diagnosed, they could have the SOZO measurement done prior to surgery or radiation. It’s a simple, Bowman 30-second procedure that helps to establish a baseline reading of the patient’s fluid levels.

The patient is then measured by the SOZO again after surgery or radiation. If a change in fluid level suggests the beginning stages of lymphedema, treatment can begin immediately, giving therapists the best chance of success in reversing the condition.

According to Bowman, because of the recurring nature of lymphedema, the SOZO procedure can still benefit patients even if they don’t get their first reading until after cancer surgery or radiation. That’s what happened with Karford. Her initial bout of lymphedema came up before she was referred to Bowman’s clinic.

Now, her fluid levels are measured by the machine monthly to detect differences that could indicate her lymphedema is returning. Bowman said it can still be effective for women to establish a baseline measurement even years after a breast cancer incident.

Woman suspected in South Jeffco attempted murder, arson awaits charges

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Christy Jo Sinner, 38, is being held at the Jefferson County jail, suspected of Attempted First-Degree Murder with Extreme Indifference, First-Degree Arson and Child Abuse.

According to Pam Russell, Public Information Officer, First Judicial District, as of Dec. 14, 2020, charges have not been filed. Sinner’s bond is currently set at $100,000.

She was taken into custody on Dec. 11, after Sheriff ’s Deputies responded to a report of a structure fire in the 7100 block of South Depew in unincorporated Jefferson County. The arrest affidavit states the alleged crimes were reported

by Sinner’s mother, who told the dispatcher at Jefferson County Regional Communications Authority, her daughter was using a lighter to set fires in the home’s basement.

When deputies arrived at the scene, the mother was standing on the front lawn with her grandson (Sinner’s nephew). Sinner’s mother pointed to a running vehicle in the driveway, stating it was the suspect, and that she was preparing to drive away.

An unnamed occupant of the home suffered singed hair and smoke inhalation while trying to extinguish the flames and was transported to Littleton Adventist Hos-

pital for treatment. In interviews performed at the hospital, one of the two unnamed occupants of the Depew residence told JCSO Investigators Dee Patterson and Wendy Fehringer, that Sinner had a history of mental illness including depression, though it was unclear what had caused the Dec. 11 incident.

The other unnamed occupant of the residence told investigators Sinner had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and given medications during a previous stay at Aurora Mental Health.

The arrest affidavit states the possibility a dispute over internet services and WiFi access could have been at the root of the alleged crimes.

South Metro Fire Rescue also responded to the scene to put out the flames in the basement and provide medical support.

Michael Taplin, PIO for Jeffco Sheriff ’s Department, said they are taking the lead in the investigation with support from South Metro Fire investigators.

Connor Christian, South Metro Fire Rescue, PIO, said though no damage can be seen from the outside of the property, the residents have been displaced by the fire due to the electrical meter being removed until an electrician can determine the extent of any damage to the home’s wiring.

The Fixed-Income Fight

by Sam Stroup

ave you found now that you are retired you constantly worry about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you need.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

VOUCHERS FROM PAGE 1

where they could.

The situation grew far more dire as the COVID-19 pandemic swept over the land: Hoarders wiped out baby supplies at grocery stores, and libraries and rec centers where the family sought refuge closed their doors. James, his organs still being consumed, feared that contracting COVID-19 could kill him.

The couple had long dreaded confessing their situation to social workers, for fear of losing their children to foster care. Out of options, they presented themselves to Arapahoe County caseworkers.

Instead of taking the children, a caseworker connected them to Bonnie DeHart of HAAT Force, a nonprofit that provides motel vouchers to families and people with disabilities living on the streets.

DeHart booked the family a twoweek stay at Englewood’s Holiday Motel, and for the first time in months, the weary couple and their little girls had a bed and shower of their own.

As the two-week voucher ran out, Holiday Motel co-owner Dwight Kim offered James a job helping maintain the place. The couple’s third daughter was born in August, and today the family of five shares a room beside the motel office.

“You can think you have everything together,” Desiree said outside the room as her girls napped. “And you can get down so low you think there’s no coming up. But things happen for a reason. I have such gratitude. My eyes are open.”

Now, James and Kim help each other take care of the motel. Nearly three-quarters of the motel’s 32 rooms are occupied by people who are elderly, disabled, ill, or caring for young children, none with anywhere else but the streets to go, all depending on vouchers to ride out a pandemic raging like never before.

James has taken on a mentor role for some of the other voucher recipients, trying to steer them toward outreach agencies, and even helping convert a room of the motel to use for meetings and classes.

“Before my mom passed, she always told me I would find a way to help people,” he said. “I know she’s looking down and smiling.”

‘A bandage on the situation’ In the past, HAAT Force and sister

organizations provided overnight shelter to people living on the streets on nights when temperatures plummeted or blizzards blew.

As the pandemic reshaped society last spring, the groups shifted their focus, seeking longer-term shelter for families and those whose age or health meant they were under serious threat from living without access to hygiene or the ability to get distance from others.

As unemployment surged and churches closed their doors, donations dried up, but were replaced with funding from the federal CARES Act. But federal funds came with a catch: they had to be spent by the end of the year.

Now, as New Year’s approaches, local governments are scrambling to line up more funding to keep paying for vouchers.

Meanwhile, shelter groups face a convergence of other factors: eviction and foreclosure moratoriums are due to expire just as a new round of public health restrictions is putting more people out of work, potentially pushing many more people in tenuous situations into life on the streets.

“My biggest worry is, what will happen to these people?” asked Betsy Keyack, a board member at HAAT Force, who is running much of the group’s operations as longtime board chair DeHart struggles

to recover from a severe case of COVID-19.

HAAT Force is currently providing long-term shelter to 59 people in 25 groups, Keyack said, but the future is tenuous.

“They’re supposed to figure out what to do when they have to leave the hotels,” Keyack said. “But that’s really, really difficult.”

Many of the services they are instructed to work with require computer access, but many of those in the motels don’t have computers, or are elderly and struggle to use them. Access to computers at libraries or places like Englewood’s Giving Heart outreach agency is limited or cut off. Volunteers who would normally help people navigate complicated systems — many of them elderly themselves and therefore at greater risk from the virus — are unavailable. Meanwhile, affordable housing is extremely limited, and wait lists stretch years long.

“We’re putting a bandage on the situation,” Keyack said. “These are people who desperately need stability. Places where they can improve their situations, find steady employment, or for kids somewhere they can get a steady education. Right now, people are making it by the skin of their teeth.”

‘Value in human life’

Other shelter groups are facing similar challenges. The Severe

Weather Shelter Network, a sprawling consortium of churches primarily in Arapahoe and Jefferson counties that open their basements to unhoused single adults on cold winter nights, is unable to operate as normal this year.

Many of its member churches remain closed to the public, said director Lynn Ann Huizingh, and public health guidelines disallow so many people in such tight quarters.

Many of the group’s volunteers are elderly, and are staying away from group gatherings anyway.

The group has shifted to a motel voucher system, lining up dozens of rooms at nine different motels.

The shift hasn’t come cheap. In a normal year, the group might register 500 people for shelter between October and April. This year, Huizingh said, they registered 500 people by early December, with more added to the ranks every week.

“We’re seeing a huge increase in people living on the street,” she said.

“Maybe a fifth of our guests this year are new to the street, and most have lost their jobs and their housing since March.”

Providing motel accommodations is much more complex than providing cots in church basements, and the shift has not come cheap.

Faced with increasing duties and a lack of volunteers, the network has had to hire several employees to handle administrative tasks and check in on guests. Paying for motel rooms for a three-day stretch of bad weather can cost $20,000, Huizingh said.

A silver lining, she said, is that the group’s registry is exposing the true scope of homelessness in the suburbs.

“We’ve known for years the F number of people on the streets is majorly undercounted,” she said. ‘ “We’re starting to get a real count.

It could mean more funding from governments and foundations to help people.”

The work is difficult, but Huizingh called it a calling.

“For me personally, it’s an extension of my faith,” she said. “Jesus said, ‘What you have done for the least of my brothers and sisters, you have done for me.’ There’s value in human life. These are people who are marginalized, shunned, turned away. They’re isolated and invisible.

It’s a burden on our hearts, and we have to do something.”

Fighting the good fight on Jeffco’s Mean Streets A nonprofit struggles to help the homeless, but the issues are stacking up

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

He used to be a cowboy.

In a different life.

In a much different place.

Cowboying is good work for someone who’s not a people person, he said, for the kind of person who prefers the company of horses and a good dog. But cowboying was a choice, like creating neon signs, running a successful company or sitting on the board of three corporations.

He’s been there and done that, and they were good choices, all. But this .work, he said, is a calling from God. James Fry doesn’t look like many preachers. He’s a big guy, with a greying beard and black boots. He looks, well, like a cowboy. But holding court in the inner-sanctum of Mean Street Ministries, a sub-leased portion of a run-down church building on Ammons Street in Lakewood, it’s difficult to imagine him doing anything else. Mean Street provides the homeless, and those in need, with food, fellowship, fresh clothing and a place to escape the cold during winter mornings. There’s a cafe in the gym, and they’re fixing up some

‘We don’t want people freezing’

Local government officials say they see the need and are doing everything they can to maintain the voucher programs after the federal money must be sent back to the national treasury.

Arapahoe County has already allocated nearly $900,000 of its CARES Act allotment toward emergency housing, said Nancy Sharpe, chair of the board of county commissioners. After the first of the year, Sharpe said the plan is to use community development block grant funding, and there is even some hope that limited CARES funds can be held over.

“We don’t want to see these

broken-down showers.

He wears a cross around his neck, and on a tour of the cluttered facility, he’s all business. Why shouldn’t he be? The topic on his mind, that he spends much of his day working on, is solving homelessness in Lakewood. And on that topic, he’s got serious issues.

families back on the street,” Sharpe said. “We should be able to get them through at least until spring.”

Meanwhile, the county is beefing up its outreach programs, and working to provide “navigators” who can help walk people in need through the struggle of building personal stability.

In Jefferson County, officials have allotted $250,000 of CARES Act funds toward the Severe Weather Shelter Network’s efforts, said Kat Douglas, the county’s regional homelessness and housing development coordinator.

She said she feels confident the county will be able to provide additional funds, some drawn from grants from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, to cover the network’s need until spring.

freezing and there’s snow covering the ground. In times of severe weather, Mean Street hands out vouchers for motels. The kind of places one sees along Colfax Avenue and wonders who stays there.

Fry understands the need for emergency cold-weather shelter for people with nowhere else to go, but doesn’t love the program. He thinks it’s a good way for the city to avoid scraping up frozen bodies Douglas said.

“We don’t have a great shelter network in Jefferson County,” Douglas said. “Motels have proven to be a critical resource. Having families, veterans and people with disabilities on the street isn’t good for anyone. With hospitals already taxed, it’s no good to have people in there being treated for frostbite. We don’t want people freezing to death.”

‘A helping hand’

At the Holiday Motel, Dwight Kim, the co-owner, makes the rounds checking on guests riding out the pandemic.

There’s Mary McDonald, a 1980 graduate of Littleton’s Arapahoe High School, who lost all her cleaning service’s clients early in the pandemic. She salutes every fire truck, ambulance and police car that drives past.

off the streets the morning after a storm, or when the temperature plummets. But in his opinion it’s a disassociated answer to the problem. It offers none of the services many of his patrons need. And it makes homelessness, for some, too easy.

“It should be uncomfortable. I think homelessness needs to be inconvenient. You’re not going to reach anyone unless you make it inconvenient. The severe weather network used to be a group of churches that let people in to sleep on the floor, use the bathroom, get cleaned up, but drinking wasn’t tolerated. It was a good solution for our [homeless] singles,” he says. “We had a very successful family shelter going here for 4 years. We were packed, working at capacity, every night. We helped get people from here, into apartments.”

But the plug was pulled on that program. Fry says the Lakewood city manager shut them down over code violations. Mean Street is located in an outdated concrete building with no fire sprinkler systems. Once shut down, Jeffco cut their funding, he said. And by the time they worked it out, the landlord got cold feet about the program. Lakewood has no homeless shelters. Jeffco has no homeless shelters.

There’s Peter Shaw, a once successful contractor who lost his home after he got too sick to work. Recovering from a brutal car crash, he is hoping to access the final $5,000 of his late wife’s life insurance to buy a van to live in.

There’s Michael Curtis, who found his way to the motel after months spent nursing a broken shoulder while living in his Jeep behind the convenience store where he worked until being forced out when he was fired.

There’s Kayla Waters, raising two sons, ages 8 and 3, whose ADHD gives them such severe fits of rage that she was not allowed to renew the lease on her last apartment.

“Even once this pandemic is over, homlessness is not going away,” Kim said. “It can happen to anyone. We live in a fragile world. All people need is a helping hand.”

VOICES

Looking near and near for the best things in life QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

A

nnually I submit a list of things that make (my) life worth living and it’s usually a snap to write. After all, why wouldn’t life be worth

living?

Then 2020 showed up. It walked in the door wearing muddy boots and talked with its mouth full. Just about everything we did without thinking twice was inverted, reversed, changed, canceled, restricted, even haircuts.

If you are reading this, you’ve made it this far. Close to 300,000 did not. The number of pandemic-related cases is in the millions.

In the past, I tried to go beyond obvious examples: my dog, films, music, friendship.

When I began scribbling down nominees for this year’s list, I thought about

digging deeper.

But why?

Nothing in 2020 was more important or meaningful to me than Harry, whose complete obliviousness to current events was the finest antidote on the market.

Harry doesn’t know that 2020 has been any different than 2019, 2018, or 2017, the year he was born.

He doesn’t know and he doesn’t care.

If you have a 3-year-old son or daughter it’s likely they’re out of the loop too. But one of these days, you will have some explaining to do.

I will never have to explain anything to Harry. But if I did, what would I tell him?

It’s been inexplicable.

This year has brought out the very best in people — and the worst. For every affir-

mative story about man and womankind, there’s an equal and opposite.

I’m one of the lucky ones. A friend said, “You’ve been social distancing your whole life,” and she’s right.

A pandemic doesn’t impact a retired recluse the same way it does an employed extrovert.

But I haven’t taken any chances. No restaurants, no gatherings, games, concerts, parties, picnics.

Harry and I have two or three walks a day.

And two or three films. I keep a long cue: mostly ones that were made before movies became soused with special effects and gore.

A friend half my age sends me a “Song of SEE SMITH, P11

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Considering a pet for a present?

When considering adding a new dog or cat to your family this Christmas, do your research. Adoption is always the best option. Adopting a dog from a local shelter or rescue group is simple. There are many, including Foothills Animal Shelter, Hobo Boxer Rescue, Two Blondes All Breed Rescue, Colorado Puppy Rescue and more. You can find purebred dogs at a local shelter or rescue too. Adoption can save you huge dollars over a breeder.

You have probably heard of puppy mills, and they can be horrible places for animals. The dogs exist their entire lives in small cages, no exercise, very little or no medical care, and often no sunlight. The people who run these businesses only care about money. We can stop

abusive puppy mill businesses by not buying from them.

How do these businesses continue to thrive? It is because too many people continue to fund them. If you buy from a pet store or the internet, those puppies might come from a puppy mill. If you want to put an end to puppy mill abuse, at least buy from a reputable breeder who will let you visit and meet their animals.

Better yet, adopt a dog or cat.

Many of the rescue animals in Colorado come from kill shelters in states like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oklahoma. You can make a difference for an animal this Christmas. Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog the world will change forever.

f course, we’ve all heard of Christmas Lists — many of us used to make them, and collect them from our children. And we’ve all heard of the so-called “Grownup Christmas List,” HITTING made famous in song.

Well, I think we need HOME a special “2020 Christmas List.”

Dear Santa— Hello. How are you? I hope everything is well up at the North Pole.

How is Rudolph? How many times this year did someone mistake his red nose for a symptom of COVID? Michael Alcorn Anyway, I’ve been a very good boy this year. No, really. If you think about it, exactly what kind of trouble could I have gotten into? Everything was closed.

No, I don’t think you should ask my wife for a second opinion.

I’m sorry to do this, but this year we have to do things a little differently.

Before you head out on Christmas Eve, please make sure all your elves have been tested within five days for COVID. I mean, think about it: one of those pointy-eared little toymakers, who, let’s face it, are well within the target demo of this disease, being more than 1,700 years old… One of those little guys wanders around the Pole asymptomatically for the last couple weeks, and you are set up to be the ultimate superspreader.

And another thing, it is with great regret that I have to inform you that there will be no homemade cookies waiting for you this year. I’d hate for this virus to defy every minute bit of data that we have, and somehow live on a surface

for a few hours and get you sick. So this year, I’m just going to leave out a package of Grandmother’s Chocolate Chip Cookies and bottle of milk. And, just in case, I’ll leave the spray disinfectant right by the table for your use.

Okay. Down to business.

First off, would you please save the restaurant down around the corner?

The owners used to go to the same church as us, and it’s a great little restaurant. But it can’t survive a few more months of no in-person dining.

For that matter, could you please save all the other little hole-in-the-wall family-owned restaurants that we enjoy so much? The Chili’s and IHOPs of the world can survive this, but the world needs these smaller places.

Secondly, can you please get the Colorado Rockies new ownership and a new G.M.? Just because.

Third, can you tell the rest of the middle east to follow the leads of Bahrain, et al., and work towards normalizing relations with Israel? No matter where you fall on the politics of it, is there any question that peace in the middle east is in the interest of every human on the planet?

Can you please work to infuse the science we listen to with a healthy dose of logic? I know that sounds strange, but bear with me. The science tells your doctor to tell you not to drink alcohol; logically, most adults will still imbibe at least some, so the doctor has to make logical allowances to complement the science. The “science” might actually say that the virus can tell the difference between you walking to your table in the restaurant and you actually sitting at your table in the restaurant, but logic clearly says that’s ridiculous. And that

Danger

With the voucher program, the intolerance for drinking and drug use that existed in the church network doesn’t apply. No one’s watching what goes on in the motels. In Fry’s opinion that makes it less safe. But it’s not just substance abuse he’s concerned with.

“They house registered sex offenders in those motels,” he says.

A quick search on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation web site confirms his claims. In fact, there are currently 28 registered sex offenders living in low-entry motels along Colfax Avenue between Sheridan and Kipling alone, with multiple others in Colfax adjacent motels along the same stretch. Fry thinks a system that houses vulnerable families and people who may be suffering from various substance abuse issues and untreated mental illnesses, in the same building with convicted sex offenders, is immoral.

He said government entities should be helping the people, who help the people, not imposing regulations that make the job of offering assistance more difficult.

The wrong kind of growth

The other thing making life on the street more dangerous for Jeffco’s homeless is the shifting demographic, according to Fry. “We have a very steady crowd here. They’re much more like her-

mits. They don’t want to be seen. A lot of veterans — people with PTSD. They just want to be left alone and to hide. So they come out for food and shelter when necessary…and that’s it,” Fry said. “But the drug posses, they’re dangerous.”

He said there are meth-fueled homeless groups pushing into Jeffco from Denver. He describes them as younger and much more violent, making things more dangerous for Jeffco’s traditional homeless, especially the women he works with, many of whom have mental health issues that make it difficult for them to scream for help or fight back. He believes that as this violent group has pushed the limits in Denver, law enforcement has pushed back harder, and the more violent homeless have moved further west. There are lone-wolves out there, he says, but the theory of safety in numbers leads to homeless camps and tent cities — communal living in creek beds and under bridges.

“It’s a sub-society, and that becomes your world, so therefore you

don’t know how to get out of it,” he said. “Some of the forts that they build are quite defensible. They can tap into the electrical — I go down there and they’ve got stereos, heaters, stacks of wheelchairs to up their earnings panhandling.

You see it in the lower levels of the New York subways. It’s the same thing here. And it’s tribal. There’s someone keeping the [panhandling] money. Somebody giving the orders.

In Denver you have to pay to get a popular corner [to panhandle on].

If you don’t believe me, go get a sign and stand on a corner and see how long it takes you to get bumped.”

Lakewood PD, Public Information Office,r John Romero said he spoke to sergeants on the Department’s Commuity Action Team and was told they hadn’t noticed a uptick in violence from Denver homeless moving into Jeffco, but they don’t track those specific statistics.

Fry ackowledged the difficulty in trackng those instances, but opined that it’s rare for homeless victims of violence and crime to seek help from the police.

Keeping the faith

“We’re truly walking among the dregs of society. This is the broken.”

Fry says.

He’s worried about the growing

need for food, services and shelter. He’s worried that the eviction moratorium is about to expire and increase demand for his help. He’s worried that he typically has 35 severe weather vouchers and 85 people who need one. In the 20 years he’s been doing this, Fry has seen a lot, but says his faith isn’t shaken.

He talks about the power of forgiveness, especially forgiving ones self, to help turn lives around. He believes the darkness he’s surrounded by doesn’t test his faith, but rather, confirms it. He describes random acts of kindness he’s witnessed, as everyday miracles. And says, without a hint of irony, he’s awash in God’s grace, while telling stories of being threatened when trying to minister to the homeless under a bridge.

“When you get out of your comfort zone, it reveals character,” he says. “True heroics come when nobody’s looking. When it’s gonna cost you, to do something good. That’s heroics.”

For now, the old cowboy is doing his part, trying to meet the needs of his people. In his estimation, 35-90 people come in every day to find food, warmth, a helping hand and, hopefully soon, a hot shower… “God and some industrious plumbers, willing.”

never recover from this year. Just reassure him that the people who care about him are still out here, and we can’t wait to see his smile again, out from behind his mask. Soon.

Merry Christmas. Stay safe.

How to elevate your baking

game

Making bread at a mile high can be tricky, but with experience comes wisdom

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N

othing brightens a home quite like the warmth and smell of baking bread, but life at a mile high means baking the perfect loaf can get a bit tricky.

“High-altitude baking is definitely a skill that takes time to develop,” said Chelly Klann, the founder of the Good Food Project, Project Bake and Edible Revolution — a trio of Denver-area nonprofits dedicated to teaching kids and adults the finer points of cooking and baking.

But before understanding how to bake at high elevation, Klann said bakers should understand bread in general.

“Bread is a whole zen experience,” she said. “You can’t rush it. Cooking is an art — you just throw stuff in a pan and taste it as you go — but baking is both an art and a science.”

Bread is also “the purest food,” Klann said, built on just flour, salt, water and yeast.

Home baking exploded this spring during the early days of COVID-19 shutdowns, with flour and yeast flying off shelves as fast as toilet paper. Klann said she thinks that had to do with a renewed focus on personal skills when people are cooped up.

“Bread is aspirational,” she said. “Lots of people say someday they’d like to learn French, or play the piano, or learn to bake.

Suddenly people had time for things. Everything takes longer this year, and bread fits right in with that.”

But many home bakers in Colorado soon discovered the trouble that comes with high elevation.

“Dough rises quickly here, but it deflates quickly too,” Klann said.

Loaves and wishes

She offered a few pointers: First, high-elevation dough needs more

At Trompeau Bakery in Englewood, head bread baker Rande Smith, second from left, said good ingredients make for good bread, PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT but so does practice.

moisture.

“It’s better to have sticky hands than dry dough,” she said. “If your rolls turn out like hockey pucks, it’s because there’s not enough water in them.”

Next, increase the temperature in the oven, by as much as 25 degrees over what standardized bread recipes call for. That may also bring down baking time by several minutes.

Also, Klann said many home bakers simply don’t knead the dough enough.

“People ask if you can overknead bread, but you’ll get bored long before that happens,” she said.

Perfecting sourdough — bread made with fermented flour using naturally-occurring yeast — is worthy of an entire article, or even a book of its own, Klann said.

“It took me the better part of a year to get good at it, and I turned out some bad sourdough in that

time,” she said. “It’s a pretty steep learning curve.”

Klann said a home baker’s best bet to get good at bread is the same as the way to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice.

“Find a recipe that came out OK one time, and make it over and over until you’re good at it,” she said. “If something goes wrong, you’ll figure it out quicker.”

Bread baking is also influenced by ambient conditions, she said, including outside weather, humidity, temperature and other factors.

“This might sound weird, but try keeping a bread journal,” Klann said. “Is it 100 degrees in your kitchen? Is it raining? Is it cold out? You think you’ll remember, but you never do, which is where writing it down comes in.

Don’t fret — you’ll get there.”

Fine ingredients

For those looking to step up their bread baking game, ingredients can make a big difference,

said Beth Ginsberg, the owner of Englewood’s Trompeau Bakery, which specializes in classic French breads and pastries.

“Grocery store flour can be weeks old, and it can sit in your cabinet a lot longer than that,” Ginsberg said. “Here at the bakery, we’re using fresh, high-gluten flours, which also have a much higher moisture content that dissipates the older it gets. We’re also using live yeast, not the dried stuff, which is a lot more finicky but produces some really wonderful bread.”

Trompeau sells smaller amounts of high-end flour and yeast to home bakers wanting to give the good stuff a try, she said.

Rande Smith, Trompeau’s head bread baker, said he hasn’t adjusted any of the bakery’s recipes to adjust for high elevation, but that’s because he works dough by feel.

Arts remain unbound during COVID pandemic

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

W

ith so many stuck inside for the bulk of this year, there’s a common outlet creatives all over are turning to — podcasting. Doug Kacena, artist and owner of Denver’s K Contemporary art gallery, launched his Art Bound podcast in October to highlight artists in the area and provide listeners a window into the personal challenges creation poses.

The show is releasing its final episode of 2020 on Dec. 30, entitled “The Value of Art” with neo-expressionist Hunt Slonem. In preparation for the wrap-up of its first season, I spoke to Kacena about the podcast,

staying creative during the pandemic, and demystifying the art world.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

Tell me about how the Art Bound got started:

I was approached by Golden Peak Media about starting a new podcast for their company. We started developing the ideas of what it could be, and we decided it wouldn’t be a podcast where artists talk about their resumes or how they mix their favorite shade of blue. We wanted to demystify what it’s like to be in the art world - things you normally don’t hear from artists and people in the industry.

What have you discussed with some of your guests on the show?

Our first episode was about fear, and how fear of failure plays a role in a role in their arts practice. How do people deal with imposter syndrome and any other challenge that happens? We’ve had some really dynamic conversations about the turningpoints in careers, the role of digital media and more.

The magic is the format — just me and two guests. We want it to feel like we’re having drinks and just talking.

BREAD FROM PAGE 12

“Every batch of flour is a little different,” Smith said as he dumped a sack of flour into a jumbo mixer. “It comes from wheat, which of course is a plant — wheat from different places, from different years will all have slight variations. Some absorbs more water, for instance, or responds to yeast differently.”

Smith said even without fancy ingredients, home bakers can improve their bread by avoiding common mistakes like letting the dough get too warm.

“People wake up their yeast with warm water, but you really don’t want the dough that warm,” he said. “Even a stand mixer like a Kitchenaid can warm it up too much.”

Good dough shouldn’t register higher than 75 degrees, he said, and many good recipes call for letting dough rise overnight in the refrigerator.

Baking through time

The intricacies of high-elevation baking go back to Colorado’s settler period, said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the Littleton Museum, which features a working pioneer-style homestead.

READER FROM PAGE 12

Who have been guests on the show?

Some of artists guests have been uber contemporary, some have been more from the traditional side.

We’ve also had arts professors on the show as well.

Most of them don’t usually have this kind of platform, and we’re interested in topics they often don’t talk about publicly — hopefully someone hears the discussions and can relate to it.

How does Art Bound connect to your work at K Contemporary?

The podcast is an interesting extension of what we do at the gallery.

This year has been one where we’re looking at how we do businesses, including doing more public popups and engagements outside of the gallery. We want to help artists make a living and put them on a larger stage - this is a natural extension of that.

Being an artist is a lifestyle choice — it’s not a traditional career or job.

There are lots of misconceptions about the art world - some people are intimidated just about walking through the door of a gallery. I love having the opportunity to shed some light on it.

Chelly Klann shared this recipe that works well at high elevation: Tomato Foccacia

Adapted from Food of the Italian South, by Katie Parla The semolina flour and potato flakes in this focaccia recipe give it a soft and fluffy texture that is great dipped in olive oil or marinara sauce. Substitute olives for the tomatoes or simply add dried herbs and omit the tomatoes altogether.

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1/2 pound grape tomatoes Dried herbs of your choice — rosemary, thyme, oregano, dill, etc.

Sea salt Directions:

4. Gently turn the dough into the pan, deflating it as little as possible.

5. Put some olive oil on your hands and use your fingers to gently press the dough into the pan.

6. Press the tomatoes into the top of the dough and sprinkle the top with dried herbs.

7. Set the dough aside to rise until puffy, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oven to 425 degrees.

8. Just before the dough goes in the oven, sprinkle some additional sea salt across the dough.

9. Put the dough in the oven and bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes for even browning.

10. Remove the focaccia from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then slice and enjoy!

1 cup warm water 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/4 cup semolina flour 3 ounces potato flakes 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon sugar

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add the water, flour, semolina, potato flakes, yeast, salt, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix, using the dough hook or a wooden spoon, until the ingredients come together and become a soft, satiny dough, about 10 minutes.

2. Cover the bowl and set in a warm place until more than doubled, about 2 hours.

3. Add the remaining olive oil to a 9x13 pan, preferably metal. Tip the pan to distribute the oil.

Many pioneer diaries and letter mention making alterations for elevation, Wilhelm said.

“Early cooks were intuitive cooks,” Wilhelm said. “There wasn’t so much science behind it as trial and error. Cooks were constantly asking themselves if the batter and looked and felt consis-

tent with past experiences.”

Colorado was settled decades after places like California, Utah and other high-elevation locales, Wilhelm said, so settlers were already aware that baking would be trickier here.

Early recipes were also more “robust,” Wilhelm said, and were

more forgiving of errors. Over time, though, “recipes became more delicate with refined flours and sugars, so the room for error increased.”

But just like in the early days, “so much of it is about experience,” said Smith, the head baker at Trompeau. “Don’t give up.”

SPORTS

For some, the more sports the merrier With many turning to specialization, multi-sport athletes are becoming less common

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Multi-sport competitors used to be prominent in Colorado high school athletics, but their ranks have been decreasing in recent years.

More young athletes are specializing in one sport, often because of the pressure to earn a scholarship in their chosen athletic endeavor.

But there are still some athletes who believe in the benefits of playing different sports in different seasons.

Connor Mantelli — a kicker and basketball player at Douglas County High who was a standout performer at the 2020 Kicking World National Showcase in Austin, Texas — says specialized athletes miss out on the experience of being on different teams in different sports.

“I definitely stay in shape year around and the skills are always in use with me,” said Mantelli. “The biggest disadvantage of not being a multi-sport athletes is you don’t get the experience of other sports.

Doing a sport year around, you don’t get a break.”

Those who participate in multiple sports develop different muscle groups and different skills, while overuse injuries are reduced and concerns about burnout are lessened, many coaches and athletes say.

Athletes who compete in multiple sports are needed to keep programs in operation at the state’s smaller schools. For instance, athletic director Mike Hawkes of Single A Shining Mountain Waldorf in Boulder says the school has four athletes who have a chance to participate in the four sports (cross country, girls volleyball, basketball, and track and field) offered at the school.

In the south metro area, even some of the largest high schools have multi-sport athletes.

Dakota Ridge senior quarterback Ben Gultig (2), had a stellar season on the football field, but also played in 21 varsity basketball PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS games as a junior.

Julian Hammond was the quarterback on this season’s state championship football team at Cherry Creek, and he is also an outstanding basketball player who has agreed to play next season at the University of Colorado. Hammond was one of six Bruins’ basketball players who were on the football squad.

“Getting in basketball shape isn’t a problem,” said Hammond.

“It’s just different running up and down the court over and over again, where football is a five-second play.

Football wears more on your body than basketball, where you have to be in a lot better running shape.”

Arapahoe’s Hussein Safieddine, a football player, wrestler and member of the track team, agrees with Mantelli.

“Some of the advantages of being a multi-sport athlete include you get the experience of different coaching,” said Safieddine. “My wrestling coach and football coach are really different people. I learn like two dif-

ferent sets of lessons from them.”

Katie Edwards is on the track and field team, was the leading hitter on the Arapahoe softball team last fall and was the leading scorer on the girls basketball team last season with a 12.2 scoring average.

She says time management is a key to being a multi-sport athlete.

“You are doing so many sports you have to watch how to manage your time really well ,” she said.

“There are relationships you build being in different sports. You meet tons of different types of people.

Sports are so different that I think they help you rather than focusing on one the whole year.”

Jim Keller, president of the Colorado Athletic Trainers Association and owner of Next Level Sports Performance, said too often parents pick a sport for a youth to specialize in.

“There’s just a select few children that can take (sport specialization) early and make it happen,”

Cherry Creek quarterback Julian Hammond plays football and basketball for PHOTO BY JIM BENTON the Bruins.

Keller, of Golden, said. “But I think the majority take it early and get burned out or get hurt. It’s too much year round. It’s too much time on the field, it’s too many camps, it’s too many scholarships and a lot of pressure.”

Icing on the lake Veterans, novices take to Evergreen Lake for winter fishing

sooner here than down the hill.

Nearby, Dennis Jones of Westminster and his family set up their spot.

Dennis was practically born ice-fishing. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, he joined family members in the sport often in his youth.

While he’s lived in Colorado 40 years, Dec. 14 was only his second time on Evergreen Lake, bringing his wife Carol and son and daughterin-law Corey and Vanessa along, and all were part of the action.

It’s 12 degrees as the sun rises on Dec. 14, as about a dozen ice-fishers make their way onto Evergreen Lake.

Armed with gear, provisions and equipment, the men and women are ready to brave the cold, hoping to catch a few trout. For some, icefishing is a new experience, while others are veterans of the winter activity.

Some bring popup tents to keep out the winter weather, and on weekends, Evergreen Lake looks like a tent city thanks to all of the ice-fishers.

Friends Ray Trujillo and Michael Romero set up their ice-fishing spot, choosing not to bring too much gear.

Romero calls himself a fishing addict, though he’s new to ice-fishing.

“I’m not going to let the ice stop me,” he said.

Trujillo and Romero like coming to Evergreen to icefish because it’s a beautiful spot and the ice freezes

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.

This is an action to obtain a Decree of: Dissolution of Marriage or Legal Separation as more fully described in the attached Petition, and if you have children, for orders regarding the children of the marriage.

FISHING FROM PAGE 15

Carol Jones said the secret to weathering the cold was dressing in layers, and masks helped a lot to keep out the cold. She explained that her husband was a great fishing guide and patient as he taught his family about the sport.

The Joneses had a popup tent with a small space heater, and the women settled in there with their poles.

Vanessa Napier Jones added: “He is very prepared. We brought a lot of stuff with us,” including plenty of hot coffee, soup and sandwiches to get them through the morning. Dennis planned to stay in one spot for about 30 minutes, and if they weren’t having much luck, they would move on to another spot.

Jones barked orders, getting everyone and everything situated, teaching along the way. It wasn’t long before they saw the fruits of their labors: a 12-inch rainbow trout.

“This guy knows his stuff,” Corey Jones said of his dad, while Dennis noted, “It’s a great way to start the day.”

Ice fishing huts dot Evergreen Lake on Dec. 14. On weekends, the lake looks like a tent city.

Ray Trujillo, left, and Michael Romero of Denver prepare to ice fish on Evergreen PHOTOS BY DEB HURLEY BROBST Lake on Dec. 14.

Dennis Jones of Westminster baits a hook while his son Corey Jones holds the rod as they were ice fishing on Evergreen Lake on Dec. 14.
