The new normal of the school lunch How Jeffco’s food pros are keeping up with changing realities in a pandemic world

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Public school lunchrooms can evoke memories of food fights, socializing, trading your PB&J for cheese puffs. But those days, at least for a while, are on hold.

A trip through a Jeffco Public Schools elementary cafeteria line is a quiet and orderly affair nowadays — perhaps quieter and more orderly than in the history of hot lunch.

Since March, the effects of the pandemic have been felt in virtually every aspect of our lives, and the school cafeteria is no exception. The challenges of keeping students safe, but still well fed, has been challenging, according to Jeffco’s Executive Director of Food Nutrition Services, Beth Wallace. she says it is a challenge that her staff has been meeting head-on though.

Wallace says she has seen many things in a Food Service career spanning more than 25 years. From floods to unexpected school closures, she’s dealt with them all, but the indefinite nature of the current situation was a bit of a curve-ball in the beginning.

State could move county to Level 3 any day, JCPH says

“We got notice on March 13 that we were shutting down, and by the 16th we were serving remotely, so we had a weekend to shift and adjust and put a plan together. Did it go smoothly?

No. But we got (the food) out there and we continued to tweak,” Wallace said. “We started off thinking one way, and then as you see what’s happening you adjust, and we still adjust.”

A new plan Wallace, who is also the Presidentelect of the National School Nutrition Association, has put a program

in place in Jeffco that has lunchtime, even with new health safety procedures, running efficiently. And she gives a lot of the credit to a waiver from the Secretary of Agriculture that has allowed the district, and districts across the country, to offer free meals to all schoolchildren. Wallace said that the need has always been there, to feed hungry children from homes where food is not always guaranteed. But now, with families facing layoffs, furloughs and business closures, that need has grown.

Jefferson County Public Health issued a new public health order on Oct. 29, intended to slow the increasing spread of COVID-19 in the county and prevent the state from moving the county to Safer-at-Home Level 3 on its COVID-19 dial.

The new order, Public Health Order 20-009, limits gatherings in both public and private settings. Such gatherings have been implicated in the county’s recent spike in cases.

The order limits outdoor events to no more than 75 people, and indoor events to no more than 25 within usable space as determined using a social distancing calculator on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s website.

Under the order, events may no longer have more than one room, designated activity or area.

Prior to the order, indoor venues were allowed up to 100 people per indoor room and 175 per outdoor activity provided social distancing could be maintained, with venues able to apply to include multiple indoor rooms or outdoor activities within one venue.

The order also requires that all restaurants, bars, breweries and similar venues cease selling alcohol at SEE COUNTY, P3

Welcoming new members to our media family

n February 2012, my wife Ann and I acquired nine community newspapers from a Texas-based company, all in South Metro Denver and in two communities near Colorado Springs.

At that time, I FROM THE had been recently PUBLISHER brought in to manage several distressed community newspapers in Jefferson and Adams counties. I immediately merged all these newspapers into a new company that we named Colorado Community Media. Over the past Jerry Healey eight years we purchased the distressed newspapers and stabilized them. We sold the Colorado Springs newspapers, bought some Denver newspapers, modernized and won many media awards along the way.

A month ago, I was contacted by

a newspaper broker about possibly acquiring the remaining newspapers in Jefferson and Adams counties that we did not already own. Those are the Canyon Courier that serves Evergreen and Conifer, and in Adams County, the Brighton Standard-Blade and Commerce City Sentinel. Also available were the Clear Creek Courant, serving Idaho Springs, Empire and Georgetown, and the Fort Lupton Press, serving Fort Lupton and lower Weld County. In addition, two shoppers would be part of the package.

I am pleased to share that we became the owners of these publications last Thursday. This brings Colorado Community Media to 22 weekly newspapers, two monthly newspapers and two shoppers, including the publication or website you are now reading.

It also brings into the group some dedicated and talented people who will surely contribute to the company as a whole. In addition, through this acquisition, we added six full-time journalists and several freelancers.

Colorado Community Media was already the largest locally family owned media company in the state.

Through this acquisition, we are now larger and stronger. We believe in providing thorough, objective, informative — and enjoyable — community news: Covering good people doing good things. And, when needed, being truth seekers even when it might be a difficult story for the community to endure. The readers of the newly acquired newspapers were already getting this. But, now, we hope to do even more for them by providing them with more modern systems, websites and access to our existing journalists serving nearby communities.

For local businesses, this is good news. With one representative and one bill, businesses can now reach premium readers in these communities with an overall reach now of up to 22 communities throughout the metro area, foothills and lower Weld County. Our reach is now about twice that of any other newspaper group in

the state.

We believe in community news.

Both in print and online. Research 1 shows that having a community news- n paper increases civic engagement and s the number of political candidates, e keeps government expenditures a in check and helps boost the local economy. But more important to me is L keeping the communities connected t a and telling good stories about good people. It’s why I do what I do and why s I am willing to invest in community a v newspapers. Purchasing these new publications makes all our newspaO pers stronger.

Thank you for being a reader of one e b of our newspapers or websites. We succeed because of loyal readers like a you. Please feel free to reach out to me s at any time with comments, questions c r or news tips.

‘If we keep on the trajectory we are on it is definitely going to become a problem’ A Q&A with Christine Billings, who is coordinating Jeffco’s COVID-19 response

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the COVID-19 pandemic nears its eighth month, the data in Jeffco has been a discouraging one to say the least. Case counts have repeatedly reached new highs in recent days making a move to Safer-atHome Level 3 on the state’s COVID-19 dial increasingly likely. Such a move would trigger a tightening of restrictions like those recently seen in Denver.

“I don’t see anything Billings happening in the next week with case counts that would lead the state to say `hey, you are staying in Level 2 metrics because we are definitely in Level 3 metrics,” said Christine Billings, Jeffco’s COVID-19 response incident commander.

With JCPH working to get a handle on rising counts, Colorado Community Media spoke with Billings about what is causing the current spike, her advice for

Jeffco residents struggling with COVID fatigue and the likelihood Jeffco could soon face a new Safer-at-Home order.

What is the current COVID-19 situation in Jeffco?

I think overall the case counts in the county have continued to rise almost at what I would call an exponential rate, and definitely a rate that is concerning when it comes to controlling the spread in Jeffco. So we are seeing increasing case counts across all exposure categories, there is certainly not anyone that in particular stands out. We are definitely seeing spread within households where we see one community member who tests positive and comes home.

As the pandemic has worn on peoples’ guard and vigilance has dropped, which is to expected in a longterm event like this. But as that vigilance has dropped, we are seeing cases occurring in households and social gathering situations where people might not be as vigilant as they used to be as we see time wear on.

How are the hospitalization rates?

We are definitely seeing an increase in the number of hospitalizations, which does align with the number of cases we are seeing. What is challenging with the hospitalization numbers is with that comes an increased burden

on our hospitals. So, while our hospitals may have beds, staffing of those beds can be challenging in a time when the staff within those beds are impacted by the disease personally or professionally as well. So that’s something we are concerned about because if we keep on the trajectory we are on it is definitely going to become a problem.

What would you say to people who have done everything right but are getting tired, and see others being less stringent?

First of all, I would definitely say ‘thank you.’ But then this weekend my daughter had asked me if she could plan a small gathering with her friends but then someone ended up inviting more and more kids. So, she chatted with her girlfriends and told them she wasn’t comfortable going and they decided they weren’t comfortable either.

She stood up and said something which gave people the confidence for what they knew in their heart was the right thing to do.

In the county we’ve got those who are very supportive of the recommendations and those who don’t agree with them but my hope is those that are doing the right thing and following all the recommendations can provide a vote of confidence to those who may be on the fence and that will help to start to stem the tide of increasing cases.

What are your current thoughts on what people should be planning fo rthe holidays?

I would say keep it small and this is the year to enjoy a really small and close knit celebration within your house and within your circle. Don’t be afraid to wear your masks and ask that your guests do that. In my house, we had a birthday party for a 16-yearold and we all wore masks. It was weird and awkward to have everyone wearing masks but weird and awkward will eventually get us over the hump and through this peak in cases.

How close is Jeffco to dropping to the “StayAt-Home” phase of the COVID-19 dial?

As of Oct. 26, we were about 750 cases over a two-week period away from the number that would trigger a move to Stay-at-Home under the state metrics, which is about twice what it will be to move to Level 3 of the Safer-at-Home phase.

So, it’s a pretty big number but if we hit that, it is going to be an incredible amount of work for the community to try to turn it around and the health department staff to try to do the case investigations. That would be such a significant impact for the community if we got there. Could we get there?

Sure, but hopefully this potential move to Level 3 and the counties around us shifting down as well really starts to have an impact.

10 p.m. Spectators will also no longer be allowed at any school high school sporting events as well as adult recreational league games.

Jefferson County Public Libraries all responded to the order by closing all libraries for in-person service. Locations are still available for curbside service.

The order took effect on Oct. 30 and will remain in effect until Nov. 29, but can be extended, rescinded or amended. According to a statement from JCPH, the county is also voluntarily relinquishing its variance

from the state, which had allowed the county to the county from certain provisions regarding crowd sizes and other requirements in state public health orders.

Margaret Huffman, the director of community health services at JCPH, said in a statement on Oct. 29 that the next two weeks will be critical for the county as it tries to bring its case numbers back under the threshold to remain in Level 2 under the state’s COVID-19 dial.

That would require the county to reduce its new case numbers to about 1,000 cases over two weeks.

In the two-week period extending from Oct. 14-28, Jeffco recorded 1,815 new virus cases. The release

also states that Jeffco’s two-week positivity rate is 6.2%, “which indicates the virus is widespread in our community and that there are likely more people with COVID-19 who haven’t been tested.”

“We believe this mitigation approach balances a few things: doing what we have to do to help get our cases down and avoid even tighter restrictions, allowing businesses and schools to continue to operate, and providing our community tangible steps they can take to help forge a better path forward,” Huffman said.

“We are hopeful that, by working together with our community, we will get a handle on this virus now so we can all go into the

holiday season on a safer, healthier course.”

The new Public Health Order is part of a new mitigation strategy the county was to submit to the state.

JCPH Environmental Health Services Director Jim Rada told the Jeffco commissioners on Oct. 27 that submitting the plan could buy the county two additional weeks to bring numbers down before being moved to Level 3, as the state stated it intends to give counties a two-week grace period and two more weeks to implement a mitigation plan. However, the state can also decide to move the county within that two-week window if it is unsatisfied with COVID-19 data.

Rada said that during a conversation on Oct. 26 state officials had suggested the county consider voluntarily moving to Level 3. The county decided to instead move forward with submitting a mitigation plan in hopes of keeping Level 2 status.

“But the way that the numbers are looking we could easily be in a much worse place in the next few days and the state may step in and say `things aren’t looking any better we are going to make that call to move to Level 3,’” said Rada.

3D Printing Takes on the Job of Building Houses for the Homeless With ‘Lavacrete’ Walls

An Austin, Texas, technology company named Icon was the winner of the “general excellence” category in Fast Company’s 2020 World Changing Ideas Awards for their development of a 3D printing machine for building houses.

Their Vulcan II machine is already at work building a neighborhood of homes for Austin’s homeless population and building homes in Mexico for that country’s poor population currently living in shacks. At right is a picture of one of those Mexican homes and below is a closeup showing how Icon’s 3D printer works, applying layer upon layer of a specially designed mixture called Lavacrete. That product sets quickly enough that another layer can be applied on the machine’s next goround.

All the walls of a home can be poured in 24 hours spread out over a few days.

The framing of windows and doors and construction of a wooden roof is then done using, when possible, local workers who get on-the-job training, learning skills they can then apply in the outside world.

The Mexican project is in a rural area near the southern city of Nacajuca under a partnership with New Story, an international non-profit whose mission is to “pioneer solutions to end global homelessness.”

I remember seeing footage on a CNN report showing Icon’s 3D printing machine at work. Prior to that, I attended a presentation by New Story at the Golden Rotary Club, which, as I recall, joined Rotary International in providing financial support.

I am proud to be a financial supporter myself, and you can do so too at NewStoryCharity.org. I will have that link plus other useful links and additional photos on the posting of this article on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com.

3D printing of homes makes sense. I have seen how 3D printers can build various products applying layer upon layer of resin as instructed by a computer program. As with those tabletop machines, all that’s needed to build the interior and exterior walls of a home is a larger flat surface (a concrete slab) and a massively larger printer to float above it.

Taking the process to yet a higher level, Icon has successfully built the

Lavacrete is a propriety adaptation of concrete which overcomes many of the shortcomings of concrete, especially in terms of aging. Because the walls are solid, the homes are heated and cooled using my favorite method — heat pump mini-splits — which are also far more economical than gas forced air furnaces.

Electric Cars Are Your Best Cold Weather Choice

It’s that time of year when I like to remind readers about the advantages of EVs in cold weather. Here’s what you need to know.

1) No warming up is needed. Put the car in Drive and go! Also, the cabin will be warm within 1/2 mile because it doesn’t require an engine to warm up first. In my Tesla I can turn on the heat with my phone app a few minutes earlier so the cabin, steering wheel and seat are all warm when I get in the car. Also, I can leave the heater on when I park the car so it’s warm when I return, if I am just going into a store for a short time. (I do the same thing on hot summer days, so it stays cool!)

2) Your car will never break down, stranding you in a freezing car on the side of the road. The only time you see an EV on the side of the road is if there’s a flat tire or an accident. Stuck

walls of three side-by-side homes simultaneously in Austin, which is impressive and obviously even more cost effective.

Partnering with local non-profits and using local materials and laborers, New Story delivers its fully finished homes free to the Mexicans it is serving, but I can see it being practical in our country to offer such homes with nominal down payments and low-cost mortgages to the homeless or working poor. The homes built by Icon for the Austin non-profit Mobile Loaves & Fishes were permitted by that city. When fully built out, their “Community First! Village” will house an estimated 480 formerly homeless individuals, representing 40% of that city’s chronically homeless population.

in a snow drift? The heater will keep you warm as long as you need, consuming only 3-5 miles of range per hour — and no carbon monoxide!

3) Because of its low center of gravity, an EV handles snow-covered roads great — better than my Lexus RX did.

4) Used EVs are your best buy. I just sold my 2012 Chevy Volt for its Kelly Blue Book value of $7,500. What a bargain! It runs like new and cost over $50,000. You can find older Tesla Model S cars for sale, undamaged and running like new, starting around $33,000.

Google it! The older Teslas are a great buy because they come with transferrable lifetime free supercharging coast-tocoast when purchased privately.

5) There are still federal and state tax credits and various rebates to be had.

See the following website for a full list: www.electricforall.org/rebates-incentives

This beautifully upgraded condo at 7220 W. Bonfils Lane #201 has hardwood floors throughout. In addition to its two large bedrooms, it has a large study near the kitchen and dining room with French doors and ceiling fan with light. This unit has two reserved parking spaces in the basement secured garage, plus a 6'x8' storage cage. Units in this 5-story building are $710,000 selling very well. The building faces Belmar Plaza, which is very active year-round with concerts, outdoor dining and even ice skating in the winter! And of course, it’s in the heart of Belmar. Walk to Whole Foods, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target, BestBuy, Nordstrom Rack, Ted’s Montana Grill and more. A Century movie theater is just across the street.

Littleton craft brewery gives back despite tough economy Winter’s coming but hopes are high for this Ken Caryl brewpub

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In March, COVID-19 hit the restaurant industry like a Tyson haymaker.

Scores of metro-area restaurants including heavyweights like Fresh Fish Company, Vesta, Rialto Cafe and dozens more, some in business for decades, went down for the count.

So it would have been perfectly understandable if a craft brewery, just finding its way into the ring eight months prior to the shutdowns, got knocked out. But with perseverance, a full scratch kitchen, a dedicated team that believes in their company, some creative bobbing, weaving and maybe a little good karma, the Littleton location of Lariat Lodge Brewing Co. is still swinging.

General Manager Cheyenne Riefenberg has been with the company since the beginning, staring at the original Evergreen location five years ago, then transferred to new Littleton location as it opened at the end of Aug. 2019. She said owners Debbie and Anders Ruikka are like a second family. In fact there’s a lot of family comparisons as the management staff talks about the pandemic, staying afloat and making sure to give back to the community even in the lean days of the last several months.

“Opening a restaurant is always

We finally started hitting our stride in January and then Covid came around,” said Head Chef Matthew Molina “We became really innovative really quickly especially seeing what worked, what didn’t work and what the community wanted, from food, to drinks.”

Riefenberg stressed that any kind of success in the restaurant business is

always a testament to problem solving and thinking on your feet. But doing so in a pandemic was new territory for everyone. She thinks the Lodge’s ability to quickly change lanes, offering the community food, family packs and even their house-brewed beers to-go while refining the menu to make sure it was connecting with customers, has been crucial to their success. Not that staying open has been easy. On

the contrary, a lot of tough decisions had to be made, and as with many restaurants, some staff had to be let go. But through it all they’ve tried to soften the blow, holding fundraisers for employees and even letting staff members take food home from the restaurant’s pantry.

“We’re a family,” Riefenberg said.

“It was a lot of punches, and we’ve just been trying to figure out how to roll with them.”

Hospitality Manager, Carlos Martin couldn’t agree more. A recent transplant from New York City, Martin joined the company four months ago.

He said it’s been inspiring to see the way employees from both locations have pulled together to help the company keep things going.

And it’s not just the employees giving back to the company that’s taking place, it’s also the company giving back to the community. Amid the unprecedented circumstances the crew has faced in establishing the Littleton location, they’ve also found time to organize fundraisers for firefighters.

According to Molina, July’s Elephant Butte fire in Evergreen initially spurred their interest in supporting their local volunteer fire department.

At that time, Head Brewer and part owner Eric Rode created an Elephant Butte Brown Ale, and Lariat Lodge donated $1 for every one of the new brews sold. That fire was eventually contained, but as new fires continued to wreck havoc on the high country, the Lariat crew wanted to find another way to support firefighters around the state. Since many fire departments receive federal funding, they’re prohibited from accepting donations, but as Martin continued making contact with various departments he was often given the same advice — donate to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.

“The Foundation uses donations to help families of firefighters killed in the line of duty, and injured firefight-

ers and their families,” Martin said.

“They were super cool. They gave us a lot of swag to give out to the raffle winners, and have been really supportive” He said that with so much of Colorado on fire, finding a way to donate on a broader scale just felt like the right thing to do. The giving starts at the top and dates back to the beginning of the company with the owners making a priority of helping whenever they see a need, from donating to animal shelters, to fundraising for employees facing medical problems, Riefenberg said.

To do all of that giving, a craft brewery has to make money, and to do that, they have to sell a lot of beer. The Littleton location has at least 10 craft brews on tap, but the greatest hits are the Angry Elk Amber Ale, Lariat Lodge IPA, Bear Creek Blonde Ale and Gogmagog, a Belgian style Golden Strong with a high alcohol content.

Soon, a new winter ale will join the lineup, along with a seasonal menu change and a new cocktail menu.

Riefenberg said they’re also hoping to offer some special whisky and beer dinners that give diners a chance to hear from the Molina and Rode about crafting the food and drinks. Above all they’re thankful for the support the community has shown and working hard to make sure it continues.

Police search for three men in LUNCH assault on Littleton homeowner FROM PAGE 1

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Police are searching for three men suspected of assaulting a south Littleton homeowner on Oct. 22, though police say they have little to go on.

A homeowner on South Windermere Circle, just north of Mineral Avenue, reported he was assaulted by three men wearing masks and carrying guns in his driveway at about 9 p.m. Oct. 22, said Cmdr. Trent Cooper, a Littleton Police spokesman.

The victim described the men as three Black males, two in dark clothing and one in light clothing, wearing masks. The victim said one of the men fired a shot. Cooper said police did not find a shell casing at the scene.

The victim also said he was struck in the head with a gun by one of the men. Responding officers noted a large amount of blood on the victim’s forehead, Cooper said.

The men are believed to have left the area in a dark SUV, possibly a black Ford Explorer.

Some of the incident was captured by a Ring doorbell, showing three men matching the victim’s description,

though Cooper said the footage was dark and not particularly conclusive.

The homeowner “can’t provide any information that points us one way or another at this point,” Cooper said.

“He doesn’t want to give us information to us about why he might have been targeted, or who his associates are.”

The case remains under active investigation, but Cooper said residents should not be worried.

“This is a crime that’s very uncharacteristic of Littleton,” he said. “It’s unsettling, but we don’t have any reason to believe this is an ongoing pattern of crime that will repeat.”

The small neighborhood on South Windermere Circle has made news before: A home 13 houses down from where the incident took place caught fire last year, a day before a city hearing to decide whether it should be condemned. The whereabouts of the owner remain unknown.

“For the southern end of the city, it’s one of our busier neighborhoods,” Cooper said.

Cooper said anyone with information in the case should call Detective Chris Mannerings at 303-795-3894.

The waiver, granted by the federal government on Oct. 9, will extend through June 30, 2021, and allows the schools to operate under the rules of the Summer Food Service Program, whereas traditionally they would operate under the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program during the school year. The differences in the programs are vast, but the biggest one is that usually only the Summer Food Service Program allows for the free meals to go to every student.

Pre-packaged nutrition Because with the tricky nature of food handling in a global pandemic, the old rules simply don’t apply. Before COVID-19, children would go through the line in the cafeteria and select what they wanted: A fruit, a vegetable, an entreé and whatever drink they wanted, not to mention snacks like ice cream and chips. When they got to the cashier, they would enter their keypad number. But now, the Department of Health doesn’t want the kids doing all of that picking and grabbing and punching in numbers. Everything has to be pre-packaged.

“With the Summer Food Service Program, we just have to ensure that there’s a fruit and a vegetable in the bag. We’ll let them tell us which entree they want — they’ll have a choice, but the kitchen staff already has it in a bag,” Wallace said. “The employee asks what kind of milk the kids want, and they’ll put it in the bag for them.

So the kids are really just taking the bag. It’s fewer touch-points, safer sanitation, and they can spread out six feet.”

Another change is that the elementary kids then take their lunch bags back to their classroom to eat.

Where the need is high Josh Shapiro is the Principal at Foothills Elementary School in Lakewood. The suburban

school is also a Title 1 school, a designation given to schools with a high percentage of students on the free or reduced lunch plans. In the case of Foothills, 76% of the students qualified for the lunch subsidy, and that’s before COVID-19.

Sapiro says it is clear to him how important the waiver has been for many of the kids at his school to get this help.

“We started with the breakfast program last year, and now with the free breakfast, we have upwards of 120 kids a day served at breakfast alone,” he said. The numbers grow exponentially when you look at the district as a whole.

“To put it in perspective, you’re hearing Josh talk about Foothills Elementary, but in Jefferson County, the entire district, we’ve got 150+ schools,” Wallace said.

The free lunch and breakfast program extends to at-home learners as well, allowing parents to pick up a full week of meals for their children during designated days and times each week. The parents are able to just knock on the door and the bags of meals are brought out to them, eliminating most of the touch-points with keypads and exchanges of cash that would make the situation less sanitary.

Foothills has only seven families that participate in the at-home version of the program, but Wallace said that some schools in the district have as many as 300. She thinks it is highly unlikely that the free meals for everyone will last beyond the current waiver, but says some of the other practices including the public’s preference for the pre-packaged options the district has put in place might stick around awhile.

Another thing that might stick around beyond the pandemic is the budget shortfall it caused.

According to Wallace, one of the things the district food service program depends on heavily are a la carte sales, which have been largely diminished since March. She said Jeffco usually takes in around $5.5 million in annual revenue from a la carte sales. That’s about $32 thousand a day, which has shrunk to $1 thousand a day since COVID-19 struck. It is a significant loss of revenue that will be hard to recoup, and could reverberate through the district’s budget.

All the flavors to entice kids.

All the nicotine to keep them hooked.

E-cigarette makers and vape shops are enticing kids with flavors like cotton candy, gummy bear and bubble gum. And nationally, over 5 million kids are using these flavored e-cigarettes.

Vape shops and tobacco companies say their products aren’t ending up in kids’ hands, but that’s just not true. Many retailers still sell to minors, and many of them in Denver even illegally sold products during the COVID-19 shutdown violating emergency orders.

Let’s stop pretending vape shops and the industry care about public health or the health of our children. It’s time to stop the sale of flavored tobacco products to protect our kids.

Take action now by visiting FlavorsHookKidsDenver.org to tell your City Council Members to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.

Construction continues on Peaks to Plains trail 1.75 mile gateway trail section, 0.5 mile flume trail set to open next summer

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anyone who lives near Golden has probably a spent a little time admiring the steep walls and fast — or sometimes not so fast — flowing waters of Clear Creek Canyon.

But come next spring residents and, surely, hoards of visitors will be able to enjoy the creek in a whole new way with the opening of a new stretch of paved of trail that will stretch roughly 1.75 miles into the canyon from the existing Clear Creek trail Golden.

FOR UPDATES Jeffco Open Space has been posting regular video updates about progress on trail constriction, maps and more are available at www.jeffco.us/3792/ Peaks-to-Plains-Trail The new trail represents the latest phase of the peaks to plains trail project, which is seeking to construct a new 65-mile trail that will connect the South Platte River trail in downtown Denver to the headwaters of Clear Creek at Loveland pass.

On Oct. 22, Jeffco Projects Team supervisor Scot Grossman took Colorado Community Media reporter Paul Albani-Burgio on a tour of the under-construction trail. Here is a look at how construction is progressing on the project, which is now slated to open in June of 2021:

Welch Ditch Flume Repairs are also underway to repair the wood planks that make up the flume of the Welch Ditch, which was used built in the 1930s by the Golden Canal and Reservoir Company and used to transport water from Clear Creek to agricultural land around Golden.

The flume, has been partially closed because much of the rock walls that are used to support it have fallen away. However, the team working on the project has been drilling big rods called micropiles into the bedrock beneath the trail and building concrete caissons on top of them that will support the structure of the flume.

“It’s going to have the same look and feel and be rustic and old and have lots of splinters but it is going to be safe structurally,” said Grossman.

The flume will eventually open as a hiker-only half-mile trail that can be accessed from the main trail. It will offer an elevated view of the canyon and be outfitted with interpretive information.

Legacy “The idea with this is this is a legacy project of statewide significance that is going to last 100 years,” said Grossman. “I really love the idea that there will be kids who grow up in Golden and they ride their bike to the trail to go climb somewhere or ride to Centennial Cone and spin a lap up there and that’s just what they grew up with and it’s part of Golden, just like how you can’t imagine Denver not having the Cherry Creek trail.”

Scenes from election season in Jeffco

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Across Jefferson County and beyond, it was nigh impossible to escape the signs, yard-based or otherwise, of Election 2020.

Whether it in a multitude of signs dotting every neighborhood, to the many rallies that have dotted the streets of the county, this has been an active year for political activity.

Places like 80th and Wadsworth in Arvada have become ideological battlegrounds for months now, as every Saturday morning, like clockwork, Black Lives Matter and Democratic candidate supporters on one side of the street will rally, while Trump and GOP candidate supporters have rallied on the opposite side.

“It’s encouraging whether they love us or they hate us ... it’s all about love of country and the 1st Amendment,” House District 29 Republican candidate Vanessa DeMott said, waiving her campaign sign on the pro-Trump side of the street on Oct. 30.

Arvadan Frank Lopez said he and his wife first came out to the street corner alone, to support police in the midst of the summer’s Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality.

“We have a right to share our beliefs, not be locked down, not to be scared,” Lopez said, waving a giant Trump campaign flag.

Across the street, and across the political divide, was a different crowd of protesters waving Black Lives Matter, SEE ELECTION, P11

Trump supporters, GOP candidates Vanessa DeMott for House District 29, and Casper Stockham, for Congressional District 7, rally on Oct. 30, near the intersection of 80th Avenue and Wadsworth in Arvada.

equality, and the occasional Biden/ Harris sign.

Elizabeth Kantner of Arvada, holding a “Justice for Elijah and Breonna” sign said the opposing groups typically coexisted fine. She said her group had begun protesting police brutality more than 20 weeks ago. She added that no matter what the outcome of the election, problems of inequality and racism would not disappear.

“Just like Covid, just because you’re tired of something, doesn’t mean it’s gone,” Kantner said.

Colleen Smith, also of Arvada, was one of the very first protesters to start coming out on Saturdays. She said she was protesting against injustice, and for younger generations. She echoed Kantner’s point.

“Win or lose,” she said, “We’ll be out here next week too.”

A group of Black Lives Matter, and Democrat-supporting protesters have been spending more than the last 20 Saturdays on the eastern sidewalk of Wadsworth at 80th Avenue rallying as well.

On hoarding, stocking up and preparation ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

I

had a different column planned for this week … then it occurred to me that, by the time you read this, none of us may yet know the results of the Nov. 3 elections.. So that column will have to wait (don’t stress, though, it’s not about election results, per se).

Here is something I do know right now: people are hoarding again. In fact, it’s been going on for at least a few weeks. Early last month, a friend of mine told to look out for the same items that vanished from shelves

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pharm thanks I was born with SVT – supraventricular tachycardia – a preexisting condition I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

The disorder afflicts a little over two people per thousand.

I’ve had two surgeries, been to the emergency room four times, and had an implant – and I’m not even 30 years old.

Dealing with this illness during the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard. And now, in this supercharged political environment, the COVID 19 vaccine is just another political football.

Fortunately, though, when we finally have FDA-approved therapeutics and possibly even a vaccine, it’s the hard-working, unsung heroes making up our 24-hour pharmaceutical supply chain who will get the drugs

last spring. He messaged me from the store to say paper towels were wiped out and soup was “majorly down” — on October 9.

I must admit I was a bit surprised, even though predictions for the upcoming flu season and the additional expected pandemic hospitalizations are disturbing (if not just plain dire). Of people I talked with, unease and uncertainty about said election are also driving this behavior.

But I really wasn’t paying attention … so imagine my surprise last Saturday when a

I have always had confidence that the medications I need to keep me alive are available and accessible from my doctors and pharmacist. Without the backing of health care distributors, a future COVID vaccine would not get to the people who need it most.

I’m both thankful and endlessly impressed by the ways that hospitals and distributors have stepped up to the plate to ensure that patients get the care they deserve, especially during this critical time. I know we can count on them well into the future to continue this great work, which is always essential.

Observations from inside our schools

S

O ... Everybody breathing normal again?

I’d like to share some quick observations about the first two months of this bizarre HITTING year of schooling, if I might.

HOME Before I start, let it be noted that my observations come from my limited point of view.

The nature of my job is to see things a mile wide and an inch deep.

So don’t assume that I speak for all teachers as I say this — I speak for me.

Michael Alcorn First of all, the elementary schools I go to — and I know this attitude is shared all across Jeffco — are working their tails off to make sure that school is a safe experience this year.

The list of inconveniences that we’ve embraced to be able to have in-person school this year is as long as my arm. And NOBODY is complaining about any of it.

Having done remote last spring, teachers have been eager to embrace whatever we have to to be able to work with students in person this year.

Secondly, I think you will find that when (if) we get to the other side of this pandemic, the new technologies and tools that teachers and students have had to become fluent with will noticeably change education. And that’s a good thing! I, and my colleagues, are spending a good chunk of our teaching time putting lessons on video, and creating backup materials for students to peruse on their own, and creating opportunities for students that did not exist seven months ago. When the day comes that we get to teach our students fully in person, and then to also have these new resources … Game changing.

But thirdly, and we have to be real about this, whatever gaps we were concerned with before have the very real possibility of becoming absolute chasms.

Of course, we all know about how difficult this sort of schooling is for students with spotty internet connections; but, what nobody seems to be talking about is a self-realization gap. Or maybe it should

be called an advocacy gap. I’m sure somebody smart can come up with a good term for it.

Whatever that term actually is, here is what it means: the difference between students who are self-motivated, responsible, and able to understand and act in their own best interests, and those who need constant prodding and reminding to do what will make them successful.

Is this a matter of ethnicity? No. Is it a matter of socio-economics? To some degree, yes, though you simply can’t state that upper-middle class kids take care of business naturally — that’s not always true. And you can’t say the opposite of the other end of the spectrum, either.

This is a complex sociological construct that has its roots in the home and the home’s values, is deeply influenced by a thing we educators call “executive function,” and can easily be effected by a number of external factors.

But I think it is indisputable that kids who are good at taking care of business will do just fine and even thrive in during this time of remote and/or hybrid learning, and kids who struggle with taking care of business will lose the better part of two years of their education. That is why I am, and will continue to be, an advocate for in-person learning, especially at the elementary level, for as long as it is remotely possible: kids at the bottom of advocacy curve — who are sometimes brilliant and funny and talented — benefit most from having a relationship with an adult in the room.

In an unrelated note … major shout out to the Real Colorado Edge Soccer Club for putting together a real season for our kids this fall. I’ve been critical in the past of club sports, but I gotta hand it to the Edge on this one — great job. It couldn’t have been easy. Thank you for providing one small island of normal life among all this other … 2020.

Watch for lead during home renovations

ith Coloradans spending more time at home during the pandemic, home renovations and do-ityourself projects are on the rise.

Too often these projects can expose GUEST people to an invisible hazard — toxic COLUMN lead dust — and can cause serious and permanent health problems, especially in children.

As Region 8 administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , and a parGreg Sopkin ent with young children at home, I appreciate the importance of making sure these renovations are done safely. This October, as we celebrate National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, EPA wants to remind Denverites of the importance of reducing childhood lead exposure and what we can all do to prevent it.

Young children, especially those under age 6, are at greatest risk of lead exposure because their brains are still developing, and they absorb a greater percentage of the lead that gets in their bodies.

Lead paint chips often taste sweet, and this taste, along with children’s tendency to put things in their mouths, can result in a child eating lead chips and dust. If you suspect your child has been exposed, call your pediatrician or local health department and find out where to get them tested.

Children are often exposed to lead in homes or in childcare facilities built before 1978, where lead-based paint is more likely to be found. To reduce risks of lead exposure, EPA’s Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP) requires renovators working in homes and facilities built before 1978 to be trained and certified in lead-safe work practices. In addition, EPA’s Lead Disclosure Rule requires landlords and property managers to notify renters in homes and apartments that may have lead-based paint.

Following these rules is important, especially in areas like Denver, where older homes and apartments represent a high percentage of the housing stock. To encourage compliance, EPA’s Denver staff conducts over 50 inspections every year, with most conducted randomly at jobsites around the city where renovations are taking place. We

ration. For example, I put a snow shovel, blanket, extra gloves and boots, heavy socks and a warm hat in my car for the winter season. I also have a flashlight, some rope and a big jug of water.

And I learned recently that metalcup tea light candles can keep you warm, so I’m going to create a miniheater kit: a bunch of candles, a metal coffee can and a box of safety matches in a resealable plastic bag.

I’m prepared for getting caught in a blizzard.

That’s why I’m joining the crowd(s) to stock up in preparation for getting caught in whatever might happen in the coming months.

People on my neighborhood app are already posting when some store or another gets new inventory of paper products, frozen vegetables and cleaning supplies.

Guess I now have to add Anaheim peppers to my “in-search-of ” list.

later service. These items were out of stock: everything already mentioned above (except for the Halloween candy), as well as store-brand frozen veggies, hot chili beans, my mixed-berry yogurt, Honeycrisp apples, and coconut milk.

Oh, and also Anaheim peppers.

Anaheim peppers? Was everyone in the state planning to make green chili last weekend? Anaheim peppers! I’ve never been in that produce department when there weren’t hundreds of them in the bin. I may just have to put on my mask and carry the last of my hand sanitizer to go look for myself.

Yes, it is happening again, although, truthfully, I don’t consider it hoarding – unless you’re simply buying everything in sight to sell online later … but something like that would never happen, right? Right?

Sorry for my cynicism – it’s been a long 2020 – but to my mind, stocking up is not hoarding … it’s prepa-

also respond to tips and complaints, review records, and request information from renovators to ensure compliance with these rules.

Under President Trump, EPA has worked to implement policy changes that will trigger abatement at lower levels of lead contamination and has demonstrated that abatement activities effectively and permanently eliminate those hazards.

In 2019, EPA finalized new, tighter dust lead hazard standards for lead in dust on floors and windowsills – for the first time since 2001 – and in June, the agency proposed to align dust lead clearance levels with these more stringent hazard standards. Dust lead hazard standards help property owners, lead paint professionals, and government agencies identify lead hazards in residential paint, dust, and soil.

One of our biggest priorities right now is to reduce lead exposure in childcare facilities by ensuring childcare providers are knowledgeable about the hazards of childhood lead exposure so they can help protect the children in their care. Our efforts to reduce childhood lead exposure, however, aren’t focused solely on professional renovators and childcare providers. Due to the pandemic,

many of us are now working from home, and a large percentage of the area’s children are participating in online classes. With so many people teleworking, home renovations are on the rise as we look for ways to combine work and living spaces under one roof.

We all know that building out that extra workspace, bedroom or living area, or freshening up old walls and windows, can go a long way toward making our homes and families comfortable as we spend more time together indoors. EPA’s message to those taking on home improvements this fall is simple: test your home before undertaking any projects that could disturb lead-based paint. If you find out lead is present, learn how to work in a lead-safe way or find a trained and lead-safe certified renovator.

By staying informed and playing our parts, we all can reduce childhood lead exposure in Denver and make sure our homes stay safe as we navigate these uncertain times.

Greg Sopkin serves as EPA’s regional administrator in Denver, overseeing the delivery of environmental programs in the states of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and 27 Tribal Nations.

Sportsbook promos eat into tax revenues

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Tactics meant to attract bettors lead to lower net income for operators

BY KEVIN SIMPSON THE COLORADO SUN

Y

ou’ve seen the come-ons, virtually nonstop on TV in between the onslaughts of political advertising: Online sportsbooks offering “free” money to bet on their site, or offering ridiculous proposition bets that make you a winner in an NFL game if either team scores a touchdown.

Maybe you’ve even downloaded an app yourself and made some easy money. If you did so in September, that means your money was part of the more than $207 million legally wagered during that month on sports in Colorado. Aside from your winnings, you might also feel good that all that money is contributing to the tax revenue that soon will fund Colorado’s much-needed water projects.

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

Customers continue to gravitate toward the state’s sportsbooks — the lineup has grown from a handful to 15 online and 12 walk-in retail outlets — and the amount of money bet on sports has grown rapidly, especially since the return to play of major sports in late July after a coronavirus shutdown. But after an initial rise, tax revenues in Septem-

ber plummeted to their lowest level since sports betting became legal at the start of May. The reasons, industry analysts and sportsbooks explain, are tied to new operators in a highly competitive market offering those practically can’t-lose bets to lure new users, especially online. Additionally, the natural unpredictability SEE BETTING, P15

A conversation with the new Colorado Music Ambassador COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

M

usic has never just been about words and sounds. It’s a purveyor of stories, a device that facilitates connection, and a weapon that gives the voiceless power. So, when Stephen Brackett, co-founder of Flobots and Colorado’s newly named Music Ambassador calls music a technology, it’s not difficult to understand why.

“When someone feels a certain way and wants to feel a different way, they go find a song that will do that for them. Isn’t that a powerful thing?” Brackett said. “Music is an incredible piece of technology, and the most powerful aspects of it are invisible, even though we use it on a daily basis.”

Brackett’s two-year appointment was announced by Gov. Jared Polis on Oct. 15, making him the second music ambassador for the state, following in footsteps of Shawn King, drummer of DeVotchKa. In addition to his musical work with Flobots, Brackett is also a co-founder of the nonprofit Youth on Record. According to provided information, Youth on Record empowers Colorado’s underserved youth to achieve their academic, artistic, and personal best by employing local, professional

artists as their educators.

We spoke with Brackett about staying involved in the community, being the ambassador in Colorado and staying hopeful about the future: Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

For people who aren’t familiar, tell me about your Colorado roots and how you got into music?

I was born at Swedish Hospital, and I’ve been here almost my entire life, except for two years when we moved to Connecticut.

Music was always a hobby and I had a whole friend group where all of us rapped.

Hip-hop is one of the super accessible art forms because it doesn’t require instruments, and the more you try, the better you get.

We started putting out cassette tapes in 1994, but it wasn’t until after college that Jamie (Laurie) and I realized that music had always been there for us and we’d already put so much work into it. That’s when we decided to put things back together and we wanted to pair social justice with hip-hop, which has always been at the core of the music. A few years later, things blew up in ways we didn’t expect.

How has the pandemic affected you and the work you do?

With the pandemic, as with any kind of crisis, the true demand of humanity is to insist upon the humanity of the folks you disagree with. As a group, we had already been somewhat dormant because we felt that we needed to take a deep dive into our movement work. Before our mentor, Dr. Vincent Harding died, one of his critiques of us had been where are the songs when doing movement work? We weren’t using the technology that allowed us to end things like Jim Crow.

We’ve been working on a whole lot of organizing, protests and showcases, because so many communities could use support, and that’s one of the reasons art exists.

We know seeing music live can change the emotional state of a group of people, and the practice of bringing people together with different experiences is very important. We want to look at that fact and leverage it, especially during this time.

of sports competition took a turn against operators — and in favor of Colorado bettors — that resulted in a lower “hold percentage,” which is how much of all those bets operators actually keep (and pay taxes on) after payouts.

In Colorado, the hold was 1.9% in September. Normally, it ranges between 6% and 12%, according to industry expert Max Bichsel, vice president of U.S. business for the Gambling.com Group.

“Basically, people won money in September, that’s what it comes down to,” Bichsel said. “The players won money and the sportsbooks didn’t. There’s a bunch of reasons why the sportsbooks didn’t perform as well. At some point, that average hold percentage, month over month, will start to rise, and you’ll see considerable revenue coming into the state.”

But while the sports betting business gets off the ground in Colorado, the competition for new customers has triggered promotion of those easy bets, designed to attract interest by providing a fun and risk-free experience. That has contributed to lower revenue for sportsbooks, and less tax collected for the state.

Tactic to lure customers “In September, operators offered free bets to new players who were coming into the sports betting market specifically for football, and they used free bets as a customer acquisition tool during a football push,” said Suzi Karrer, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue. “We t anticipate seeing the same push

Tell me about being Colorado’s second Music Ambassador?

I think it’s great that I’m Colorado’s first black Music Ambassador, and I’m only

the second person who has held the role. I’m very close with Shawn [King, the first ambassador] and we’ve been working to define what it means to be the state’s music ambassador on our own terms. We want the ambassador to be someone who helps lead policy and culture, and frames and highlights musicians as a resource and ensures people have access to that resource.

Beyond music generating revenue and entertainment, it can help tie together the

revenue numbers amid the rising handle are “worthy of a conversation about what’s driving the spread in different directions.”

“You’d assume it’s part of an advertising investment on the front end — but if that doesn’t slow down, then there are some statutory fixes the Legislature can contemplate,” he said.

What few complaints he’s heard so far, Garnett said, have revolved around differences in the way various platforms approach certain types of bets where odds have been revised retroactively.

“I’ve heard other consumer-protection issues around differences on platforms,” he said. “Some rules, people feel are unfair. I think there’s going to be a cleanup bill that I’ll work on with the Department of Revenue and Division of Gaming and all these things will be considered for sure. We just did it, just opened, so these are fair conversations to happen.

The door is going to be open for consumers and folks from the industry to sit down and navigate the best way forward.”

He noted that legislation that legalized marijuana in Colorado required fine-tuning, but said feedback he’s gotten indicates that “people feel the platforms are honest and well regulated, innovative and really working quite well. But no matter how well the vast majority are going, there’s room to make it better.”

Predictions are complicated Between the mechanics of a new market and the coronavirus pandemic that threw the sports schedule into disarray, the statewide performance of sportsbooks could be “a couple years out” from predicting the ebbs and flows of money coming into the state.

identity and culture of what it means to be in Colorado.

There’s so much creativity and culture woven into our music to highlight.

What gives you hope for the future?

I know if I go back in my family line, there are people who woke up each day in inhuman conditions and somehow were able to find joy in the in-between moments. They we able to pass daylight in moments of darkness, and my own

“The market is healthy, it’s big, there’s competition — that’s what’s driving a lot of the promotional activity people find a little annoying,” Garnett said. “But we want competition because it is good for consumers.”

Some industry experts point out the simple truth that great taxable revenue receipts in the present would mean a lot of Coloradans lost bets. Looking to the future, that could hinder the industry’s growth by discouraging those testing the waters. By forgoing some tax revenue in the short term, allowing for the big promotional push, Colorado boosts its chances of nurturing a mature business and capitalizing on future tax money.

For the moment, they claim, Colorado simply suffers from a small sample size.

“We are just starting to see what the revenue and total handle are with sports returning to full play,” DOR’s Karrer said, “so we are looking for three to four months of solid data to see what the monthly averages will look like.”

Bichsel, of Gambling.com, said that for the first couple of months, sportsbooks are simply fighting for space on a user’s phone as bettors try different platforms and eventually settle on one they like.

“That’s when you see things become steady,” he said. “If I’m a customer in Denver over six months, there’s not that many promotions they can offer me.

They may give me incentives, but they’re not giving free money like they did in the first months.”

I come from a line of people who did that, and I take refuge in the fact that that’s my ancestry.

by operators during other large events. For example, the Final Four or the playoffs could see the same marketing push to gain market share by operators.”

From that $207 million bet in September, a figure known as the handle, sportsbooks retained only about $4.2 million in revenue — down 44% from August. Taxes declined 63% from the previous month.

“That 19% gap can be attributed to those ‘fake bets,’” Bichsel said.

“They’re not taxable, just a promotional bonus that the regulator doesn’t tax. The first few months of a market opening up gets ultra confusing.”

Allowing those promotions to be excluded from total revenue for tax purposes isn’t uncommon, Karrer said, as both Michigan and Virginia also allow promotional deductions.

“Operators utilize free bets as a new customer-acquisition strategy,” she said. “We anticipate that once the market is established and saturated in Colorado, the strategy may change to customer retention and satisfaction in promotions offered.”

Projecting tax revenues on sports betting has been difficult, and some early guesses proved high. A more recent analysis by the Colorado Division of Gaming put estimated tax receipts at $1.5 million to $1.7 million for fiscal 2020-21. With numbers now available for the first five months of operation, the state has collected just over $808,000, with the most recent month’s receipts, $69,771 for September, ranking as the lowest so far.

State Rep. Alec Garnett, a Denver Democrat who backed the bill that legalized sports betting last year, said the declining tax

Celtic band livens up downtown Englewood Local collective Fennec a longtime presence at brewery

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There isn’t an Irish festival in downtown Englewood, but crowds may feel like they walked into one if Fennec is on the scene.

“We’ve been playing for about eight years here,” said John Hammer, sitting outside of Brewability brewery, formerly the location of the Brew on Broadway.

The band usually plays indoors but brought its lively, string-instrument tone outside, wearing masks on a cool afternoon.

The band first came together roughly 10 years ago because Hammer heard that a Douglas County library liked to have music in its building.

“But it turned out we were a little too much for the room — people thought we were a little too noisy,” Hammer said.

Hammer also leads a “beginnerintermediate” session at the Swallow Hill Music nonprofit just north of Englewood, near Broadway, to encourage people to get together and play.

His band has performed at the Molly Brown House Museum near downtown Denver and can also be heard at other bars around the metro area, such as Clancy’s and the Celtic on Market, Hammer said.

Hammer got his start in music playing saxophone in elementary school and kept playing in band in high school and into college. Eventually, he ended up working at AT&T and learned that his coworkers got together to play bluegrass music — a genre with links to Celtic music, said Hammer, who played mandolin at the time.

Fennec takes bookings for “accompaniment (and) background music for special events and occasions,” according to its website.

“We just enjoy playing together, and we like each other’s company — we

to the restaurant they own on West Colfax Avenue.

“We thought, if he (the previous developer) went with 16 units, we’re gonna propose 12. Listening to the city council meetings and the neighbors, I thought that was a pretty good compromise,” Ardalan Hardi said. “So we went to the neighborhood meeting and they were even against that.”

So, the Hardi’s reduced the size of their development plan to 10 units and re-submitted. The council voted 7-1 in favor of the rezoning. The Hardis said they thought the issue was over. They didn’t realize that a petition drive had been launched to prevent the development from moving forward.

Neighborhood defense Ihor Figlus is a member of Save Our Neighborhoods, a group opposing the Hardi project. He’s been active in trying to curb development in Wheat Ridge stemming from zoning changes that increase density. Figlus lives just a few blocks from the Hardi lot and was recently involved with a petition drive that resulted in voters rejecting a change of zoning for a proposed development in the 4100 block of Upham Street. Figlus thinks the Upham vote was a signal that residents in the area don’t want high-density development.

“Wheat Ridge has character that people like and they want to keep that,” Figlus said.

Judy Capra was also involved in the Upham petition drive. She admits she’s not very familiar with the Hardi project, but believes it to be poorly conceived. Capra said she doesn’t oppose all development in Wheat Ridge,

Kim and Ardalan stand in front of their restaurant in Lakewood. but wants to see smarter development in the city.

Looking out from the center of the Hardi lot you can see duplexes to the east, and north, across 38th Avenue.

To the northwest you see two gas stations, and due west, a restaurant. Further west, across Kipling Street, you’ll find a Sprouts Market, Starbucks and a large assisted living facility. To the northwest, there’s a busy skatepark.

The location is decidedly more urban, than quiet neighborhood enclave.

Figlus says that shouldn’t matter.

“It’s a matter of precedent,” he said.

“If you start encroaching on neighborhoods here, there and everywhere, the next thing you know it’s (new develop-

ment) in your back yard.”

Along with Save Our Neighborhoods, he forged ahead with a petition against the Hardi project. His group collected 2,500 signatures, 900 more than were needed to put the matter before voters, he said.

The Hardis see the petition drive differently, saying pamphlets distributed by Save Our Neighborhoods were filled with lies.

“They called it high-density, which the city council and the planners will tell you it’s low-to-mid, at best,” Kim Hardi said.

Her husband added that the pamphlet’s description of the distance between units and whether or not they would have backyards, the amount of available parking and drainage issues also skirted the truth.

New plan The petition did its job and put the matter of a zoning change on track to go before voters. But delays made it impossible to get the issue on the ballot for Nov. 3. Instead, it would require a special election that according to City Clerk Stephen Kirkpatrick would cost the taxpayers between $50,000$75,000.

The Hardis said that they took the special election cost to the city into consideration when they requested City Council repeal their property’s zoning change, sending it back to R1 for now. The Hardis said they also realized opposition voters would be more likely to show up to a special election than a wider group of the electorate that would come out for a general election, making the re-zoning less likely to be approved. They plan to once again reduce the scale of the project, limiting it to eight units, and hope to avoid opposition that would gin up another petition drive.

Once they re-submit their plan, the process will start all over again.

In a City Council meeting on Oct. 26, several Council members spoke out on behalf of the 10-unit plan the Hardis previously submitted, commending their willingness to work with the city.

Council member Korey Stites expanded on his comments from the council meeting in a written statement.

“While there has been some public backlash regarding density, the Hardis are long term residents of Wheat Ridge and District 3, wanting to reinvest in their community,” he wrote.

“They represent the kind of thoughtful developers that we would like to attract to our community and their willingness to retract the project and come back in the future with a less dense plan, reflects their character and consideration of their neighbors.”

It will likely take up to six months for a reevaluation of the project to make it to the City Council again.

No. 3 Columbine flexes its muscle against Mullen

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Columbine junior Seth Cromwell made appearance-afterappearance into the end zone Oct. 29 at Jeffco Stadium.

After leaving last week’s game against Lakewood with an injury, the fullback looked to be at 100 percent in the Class 5A Jeffco League showdown.

Cromwell had touchdown runs of 48, 1, 4 and 10 yards in a 32-3 win over Mullen.

“I was crying like a baby. I thought something was torn, but it wasn’t,” Cromwell said of the ankle injury last Friday night. “I prayed to God and it got better.”

Columbine coach Andy Lowry held Cromwell out of practice to heal up for the Thursday night game.

“He (Cromwell) took care of it and it healed,” Lowry said. “He had a great game.”

Cromwell’s first touchdown was his longest of the night. His 48-yard touchdown run right up the gut put Columbine — No. 3 in the CHSAANow.com 5A football rankings — up 7-0 with 7:19 left in the first quarter.

The Rebels’ punishing rushing attack put up more than 200 yards on the ground in the first half. Columbine finished with 335 yards rushing with Cromwell leading the way with 21 carries for 168 yards and the four scores.

“Our line was just rolling them over,” Cromwell said of the Rebels’ offensive line. “They did their job and everyone did their assignments.

Therefore we got yards.”

Mullen (1-2, 1-2 in league) was in

Columbine junior Seth Cromwell flexes after one of his four touchdown runs against Mullen on Oct. 29 at Jeffco Stadium. the game early. A 30-yard field goal by senior Aidan Lehman cut the Rebels’ lead to 7-3 early in the second quarter.

However, Columbine scored touchdowns on its next three positions to give the breathing room the Rebels (4-0, 3-0) needed to cruise to another victory. Columbine took advantage of short fields starting at midfield and its own 45-yard line on back-to-back scoring drives to end the first half.

“Our defense played great and helped us out with all of that,” Lowry said of the short fields to work with in the second quarter that allowed the Rebels to extend to a 22-3 lead at halftime. “Proud of our guys.”

After a 90-yard touchdown drive by Columbine on its first possession of the second half to extend the lead to 29-3, the Mustangs did drive into Columbine territory. Lehman attempted a 61-yard field, but the kick came up just short.

Columbine junior Trace Williams-Mitchel (58) puts pressure on Mullen senior quarterback Ryan Schmitt during the first quarter Oct. 29 at Jeffco Stadium. The Rebels’ defense held Mullen to a field goal and gave Columbine offense plenty of good field position during the 32-3 victory.

PHOTOS BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Columbine junior Wes Jones booted a 34-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter for the final score of the game.

The game was more emotional with the passing of Ray Barron earlier this week. Barron was the head wrestling coach at Columbine, along with an assistant football and track coach. While

battling brain cancer Barron came to a summer football practice on his birthday, July 15.

“When I first heard the news it was tough,” Columbine senior Jack Forbes said. “Barron was a tough guy, but we knew it was going to happen. It killed SEE COLUMBINE, P21

New Chatfield quarterback guides Chargers to win over Golden

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Chatfield sophomore Mason Lowe has gone from receiver to running back to quarterback in the span of four weeks.

Chatfield starting quarterback senior Ethan Delfino suffered an injury late in the game last week against Bear Creek. Chargers’ coach Brett McGatlin called on Lowe to take over the reins at quarterback Oct. 30 at Jeffco Stadium.

“He (Lowe) is our best player. He is a special kid and is someone the state is going to know really well over the next couple of years,” McGatlin said of his new quarterback that helped the Chargers to a 37-14 victory over Golden.

“He is one of the best athletes in the sophomore class in the state. We taught him quarterback in three days.”

Lowe had never played quarterback at any level, let alone a Class 4A Jeffco League varsity football game. The sophomore looked comfortable running ‘Wildcat’ for the majority of the snaps and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run just before halftime to put Chatfield up 16-0.

Lowe went to the air in the second half to extend Chatfield’s lead. He hooked up with fellow sophomore Blake Cowgill for a 7-yard touchdown to open the scoring in the third quarter. Lowe tossed his second touchdown pass of his career midway through the fourth quarter with a 31-yard strike to junior Mason Cowgill.

“I came in here not expecting to throw too much,” Lowe admitted.

“Once I got in the groove I was like, ‘I’ve got this.’ I’ll do whatever it takes to win games.”

Lowe had 215 yards rushing and 174 yards receiving on the season coming into the game. McGatlin expects to likely use Lowe at quarterback for the final two weeks of the regular season.

“He truly is a slash,” McGatlin said of Lowe. “He can do it all. It’s going to be fun to watch him the next couple of years.”

While Lowe might have been the headliner, Chatfield defense actually got things started.

“Last week I felt like we were a little too unaggressive,” McGatlin admitted.

“We built this defense to be aggressive because the type of players we have.

We have a lot of players that are young and aggressive.”

The Chargers defense put immense pressure on Golden all night, including sacking Golden quarterback Joey Mancuso six times in the first half. Chatfield junior Elijah Rodriguez opened up the scoring with an interception of Mancuso late in the first quarter.

Rodriguez returned the pick 35 yards to the end zone to give Chatfield (2-2, 2-1 in 4A Jeffco) a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

“That was crazy. I don’t know what was going on in my head,” Rodriguez said of the pick-6. “I didn’t think I had the ball. It was the best felling in my life.”

Golden (1-3, 1-2) did prevent the

Chatfield senior Jack Gillespie (22) sacks Golden quarterback Joey Mancuso (2) and forces a fumble during the first half Oct. 30 at Jeffco Stadium. The Chargers got a bounce-back win with a 37-14 victory over the Demons. PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS shutout with a nice drive in the fourth quarter. Mancuso hooked up with junior Joshua Torrey to get the Demons down to Chatfield’s 7-yard line. Junior De’Jour DuBois scored on a 7-yard touchdown run on the next play.

Mancuso had a 12-yard touchdown pass late to senior Andy Toth to close out the scoring.

“At times late in the second half there were definitely some positive stuff,” Golden coach Jared Yannacito said after the loss. “This is a year where we’ve been tested.”

Friday night was the first games this season where no spectators were allowed in the stands for prep football

games at Jeffco Stadium, Trailblazer Stadium and North Area Athletic Complex.

“I noticed it in the fourth quarter. I turned around and all that were there was the poms and cheers,” McGatlin said. “I actually went over and talked to them. That’s the first time I’ve done that in my coaching career. I told them I appreciate them being here. It’s weird, but we’ve got to play football.

That’s the best part.”

The Jefferson County Public Health announced new mitigation strategies to curb the current spike of COVID-19 in Jefferson County on Thursday night. The new public health order that went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Oct. 30, prohibits spectators at all high school sporting events, including Colorado High School Activities Association events.

“It was a new experience for sure,” Yannacito said of the empty stands.

“It’s different, but at least the kids are out here and able to compete.”

Golden is back at Jeffco Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Demons are scheduled to face undefeated and No. 1 Dakota Ridge (4-0, 3-0). Golden actually upset the Eagles last season in its regular-season finale to help the Demons clinch a postseason berth.

Chatfield heads to the North Area Athletic Complex to face Standley Lake (3-1, 2-1) next Saturday.

me for the first couple of days, but he is in a better place now. It helped motivate me this week and keeps me working hard these last couple of weeks.”

Forbes is a football player and wrestler at Columbine. Last winter, Forbes and Zach Schraeder both won state wrestling titles in the final two matches Barron would coach.

“He motivated all of our guys in the wrestling and football,” Forbes said. “We are going to play hard for him and keep going hard for Coach Barron.”

The tough part of the Rebels’

Sportsmanship Pomona League champs Dakota Ridge regular-season schedule really begins next week. Columbine is on the road at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada next Friday night against No. 8 Ralston Valley (3-1, 2-1). The Rebels then hosts No. 4 Pomona (4-0, 3-0) on Thursday, Nov. 12, at Jeffco Stadium.

“I’m excited,” Cromwell said of facing Ralston Valley and Pomona.

“Competition makes you better.”

The Columbine versus Pomona shutdown in two weeks will likely determine the 5A Jeffco League champion and a guaranteed spot in the 8-team 5A state tournament field that begins the following week.

Lakewood lore inspires author with Arvada roots New thriller reimagines 1960s Lakewood crime as fictional tale

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you grew up in Lakewood in the late 1960s you might remember the tale of the Garage Gorilla. Legend has it, he prowled around neighborhoods in the fledgeling city, breaking into garages and lying in wait to attack unsuspecting women in the dark.

First-Time author Collin Pearce’s father remembered those times well, and would regale young Collin with spooky stories from days gone by.

Now it’s the son who is spinning scary yarns and drawing on one of his dad’s tales for inspiration. As a kid growing up in Arvada, Pearce, 26, loved writing and books, but stories

by Edgar Alan Poe and Ray Bradbury really grabbed his attention. From his new home, California, He’s just published his first novel, “The Garage Guerrilla”, a fictionalized mash-up of the Lakewood crime-spree with elements of the modern-day Golden State Killer case. Pearce said the sheer creepiness of the events in the Garage Gorilla story his dad told him as a kid was what really stuck with him for so many years.

“He was an offender that would terrify neighborhoods, prowling around, breaking into garages and

turning out the lights and turning on hoses so people would come out at night,” he said. When the equally sordid Golden State Killer case was recently solved using modern science and technology, Pearce was inspired to reimagine what happened all of those years ago in Lakewood and weave in a modern twist. Pearce said the novel took a little over a year to write, while continuing his career in construction project management.

“I write for an hour a night,” he said. “At first, I had no idea what I was doing. I started by writing about

five chapters by hand and then my handwriting was so bad, I re-wrote it on a computer.”

Pearce said he had about the first half of the novel figured out when he started, but from there he just kept writing to see where the story took him. Eventually, the story took the Arvada West and CSU graduate to a completed book that’s garnering good reviews from Kirkus Reviews and from Amazon reviews, and gaining readers through word of mouth, social media engagement and even a bit of traction on Amazon. If brick and

mortar is still your thing, the book can be special ordered from retail booksellers.

As for launching his first book during a global pandemic, Pearce said it’s made marketing and in-person visits to book stores more difficult, but it actually gave him a lot of extra time to think about the book as he was finishing it up. It may have also given him time to start plotting out his second novel, already in the works.

“The new book is a totally different concept, but it is another psychological thriller,” Pearce said.

Public Notices may be obtained from the Clerk of the Combined Court. Default judgment may be entered against you if you fail to appear or file a response within 30 days of this publication.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
