Boosted 2021 sales tax hints at pandemic recovery Golden enjoys 30% more sales tax than in 2020

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues, its negative impacts on Golden’s overall economic picture seem to have become an increas-

ingly distant memory.

According to city data, the city saw five of its highest non-December months for sales tax collections since at least the start of 2018 in March, April, May, June and July of this year. Data for August is not yet available.

According to the city data, sales tax collections reached a non-December high of $1,992,024 in June 2021. That was up about $372,000

from the same month in 2020 and about $307,000 from the same month in 2019.

Collections dipped some in July from June to $1,714,080. However, that was still up about $400,000 from the same month in 2020 and almost $200,000 from July 2019.

“Folks, we’ve got to pick up the pace.”

That was President Joe Biden’s message as he spoke Sept. 14 about his plans to address climate change while creating new jobs during a visit to the National Renewable Energy Lab’s Flatirons campus, located north of the Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge in Jefferson County.

During his roughly 15-minute speech, Biden touted the need for the federal government to establish more ambitious goals for reducing emissions and addressing climate change than were set even by the Obama administration, in which he served as vice president.

“When those (goals) were set, we had more time,” said Biden. “We don’t have that time now. The goals are different because the necessity is there … We don’t have much more than 10 years, for real.”

Among the new goals set by Biden is for the nation to reach 100% carbon-free power by 2035. Biden said he also recently announced a new target for the country to reduce its carbon emissions by between 50 and 52% by 2030.

MY NAME IS

ANDREW TERRILL

WHERE TO FIND THE BOOK

Golden graphic designer revisits 7,000-mile journey across wilderness of Europe in new book

Andrew Terrill’s book “The Earth Beneath My Feet” covers the first half of his journey across Europe. It is available now through Amazon and local bookseller websites.

A second book, titled “Sacred Ground” and covering the second half of the journey, will be released in June.

A love of adventure I grew up in the suburbs of London and I had an amazing childhood there. But when I became a young adult, I never found purpose and meaning in suburban life. I felt called to the mountains and hills of Britain and going on long walks into the mountains was a passion of mine.

So I escaped into trips and the trips grew longer and longer and eventually I wanted to go on a trip that wasn’t just a walk it was a way of life.

WELCOME SIGN

A revelation When I was 23, I was on a weeklong hike in the Alps and managed to fall down a mountain. I should probably not have been able to walk away from it or even breathe after it. Doing that completely changed my perspective on life. I realized that life is a fragile thing that you shouldn’t waste and that you should really do what you want to do.

Then I was thinking about European mountain ranges that I could possibly hike and I thought about the Appenines, which stretch the length of Italy. But I was also thinking about Norway, which has a mountain range that extends the length of the country. And then I was sitting there and I thought `why don’t I walk them both and join them together?’

Journey of the lifetime At first, I decided to try and find sponsors for the journey which, of course, ended up being a complete and total failure. So eventually I just decided to take that leap of faith and start even though I only had money saved for the six months and trust the mountain gods would eventually reward me for starting. And so part of the adventure was not having the budget to stay in hotels and always staying in the woods.

Andrew Terrill also designed the artwork on the new Golden welcome sign on U.S. 6 just before the turnoff to 19th St. The sign depicts an elk with Clear Creek, North and South Table Mountain and the city of Golden visible behind it.

A big lesson learned The real voyage was finding that belonging and sense of peace in places that were often intimidating and wild and uncomfortable.

The 7,000 miles took me from being intimidated by nature and scared of it to an incredible sense of belonging and connection which ultimately was beyond anything I ever imagined was possible and that I haven’t lost in the 25 years since. I now don’t see a differentiation between nature and civilization, it’s just the world. You can see nature and wilderness in a small patch of sidewalk if you look close enough. That’s an incredible thing to have.

Putting it on the page I always imagined myself writing a book about the journey because I always wanted to share the experience of being in the mountains, which I think is a uniquely human thing. But when I finished the journey I tried writing it but I don’t think I had the skills to do it justice as a writer.

But I think eventually 15 years after, I decided I really wanted to do it. And in writing it I found I did the journey a second time with a depth that added incredible meaning to the original journey and the book is the culmination of that. It’s the youthful exuberance I had at the time, which I tried to keep in the point of view in the book. But it’s also the insights and perspective that I have brought to bear on it which I think seems to be making it work a little more.

BIDEN FROM PAGE 1

climate change has become starkly apparent recently, with nearly one in three American communities being struck by weather disasters in the past few months.

Biden said within the two weeks before his Colorado stop, he had made visits to California, New Jersey and Louisiana, where he surveyed damage from the Caldor Fire and Hurricane Ida. Coloradans, he said, are also becoming increasingly familiar with the effects of disasters driven by climate change.

“Even if it’s not in your backyard, you feel the effects when you turn on the local weather and in addition to the temperature and precipitation you want to know what the local forecast is going to be…” he said.

“You saw the vicious cycle this sum-

mer when heavy rains combined with the burn scar of the 2020 Grizzly Creek fire resulted in mudslides that washed out an entire section of Interstate 70.”

“The bottom line is it’s everywhere,” he later said.

However, Biden also touted the benefits that an increased focus on addressing climate change would bring, including the creation of well-paid, union-backed jobs.

“When I think of climate change, I think jobs,” Biden said.

He said those possibilities are already apparent in Biden’s infrastructure bill, which he said would put 800,000 people to work, including a large portion in work related to addressing the climate crisis.

Biden was introduced by Julian Aguilar, a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 68 union of Xcel Energy workers in Colorado.

“Being here at NREL shows the

future of our industry, renewable and sustainable energy…” he said.

“When you see all these new technologies you might think the future doesn’t look much like the past, but one thing the past and the future will have in common is that they be built by unions.”

Xcel Energy is the first utility

in the nation to set a goal of being carbon-free, Biden said.

Gov. Jared Polis also spoke at the event at NREL. He thanked Biden for visiting the facility, which he said is “powering the renewable energy revolution,” and said the state will continue to partner with the Federal government as it works to meet its own goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2030.

“President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda directly helps support the work we are doing here in Colorado, one of the leading states on the clean energy revolution,” Polis said.

Biden, who completed a tour of the NREL foothills facility prior to his speech, praised NREL and said the Build Back Better plan also includes more funding for the lab and similar organizations.

“We’ll be making those breakthroughs in solar wind and storage out of these facilities,” he said.

Want to Boost Your Home’s Appeal? What You Should & Should Not Spend Money On

With our ongoing seller’s market in which right-priced homes sell quickly and often for more than the listing price, do you really need to beautify your home to help it sell better?

The short answer is “Yes.” But don’t get carried away. The agents at Golden Real Estate like to tell sellers that they should only address certain cosmetic issues and what we call “eyesores.” Investing in popular bigdollar improvements or updates isn’t likely to return you more than they cost to implement.

Let’s talk cosmetic fixes first.

For sure, you’ll want to wash the windows and clean your window wells.

In the process, you’ll be removing the window screens. Clean and label them and store them in your basement or garage. Don’t reinstall them until you are under contract. They detract from the views out your windows even if the screens themselves are clean.

Curb appeal (aka first impression) is, of course, highly important. If you have a lawn, you can make it greener pretty quickly with one or two Lawn Doctor visits. If your bushes or trees are overgrown, consider having them trimmed.

How does your front porch look? If it’s looking worn, an investment in fresh paint or stain will pay dividends. Ditto for that wooden deck in the back.

Speaking of the wooden porch and deck, let’s move on to a discussion of eyesores. An “eyesore” is anything that draws negative attention by the prospective buyer. Rotted and/or broken boards

on your porch or deck definitely fit our definition of an eyesore!

Inside your home, there are several potential eyesores that I advise sellers to address. Let’s look at walls, floors, windows and countertops.

If there is damage to the walls, fix it. Our handyman (available only to clients) is an expert at drywall repair, including matching texture. Touch-up and repainting may be called for. Our free staging consultant may advise you specifically about your walls. My current seller in Golden thought their red kitchen should be repainted to a neutral color. I said no, and we still had a bidding war.

Plush and berber carpeting in good condition does not need to be replaced, but if there are ripples in it, it should be stretched, which is an easy and affordable fix. Older shag carpets should, in most cases, be replaced. Wall-to-wall carpeting is one of the more affordable improvements.

If the carpeting is covering hardwood floors in good condition, I’d suggest removing the carpet and refinishing the hardwood if it needs it. Hardwood floors that are already exposed but noticeably worn should also be refinished.

Is there hardwood under that old wallto-wall carpeting? One way to find out is to pull up the far corner of the carpet in a closet. You can push the carpet back down onto the tack strip and no one will be able to tell you had pulled it up.

Just Listed: North Golden Bungalow w/ Carriage House This 1939 stone bungalow at 711 Iowa St. in Golden is shown on pub- $825,000 lic records at 990 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath with the same size basement, but that doesn’t reflect a 13’x14’ addition containing a modern kitchen and the extra bedroom and bathroom in the fully finished basement. It also doesn’t reflect the 496-sq.ft. carriage house with 1 bedroom and a 3/4 bath barely visible to the left and beyond the main house in this picture. Currently this property is a rental, drawing income from both the main house and the carriage house, but both long-term tenants are month-to-month, so you could live in one or the other. Although there is no garage, there is substantial off-street and off-alley parking with room to build as big a garage as you might desire in the back. All-in-all, this listing provides a rare opportunity. See more pictures and take a narrated video tour at www.NorthGoldenHome.com. Listed by Ty Scrable, 720-281-6783, it will be open Saturday, 10 to 2. Or call for a private showing.

If you have old single-pane windows, it’s tempting to replace them, and that might be a good strategy in a buyer’s market, but not in our current seller’s market. In this market, people will buy a home with old windows if it is priced right. I’d want to see them in person before making a final suggestion.

What about countertops? Replacing an old Formica countertops with slab granite, Corian, Silestone, concrete or other popular materials would be very expensive, and I don’t recommend it unless the Formica is chipped or scarred and therefore an “eyesore.” There’s a company called Granite Transformations (www.GraniteTransformations.com) that does a remarkable job of covering an existing countertop in place with a granite-based slurry that makes it look like slab granite. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve seen homes with their work and was quite impressed.

Window coverings are another cheap fix that can make a big difference. I recently installed cellular blinds I purchased at Home Depot which have no strings — just push up or pull down.

You have probably seen them and love them as Rita and I do. They are cut to width (I suggest 1/2 inch narrower than the opening) and come in different lengths. Prices are quite reasonable, and I installed eight of them in my house in

just an hour or so with nothing more than an electric screw gun.

Bathrooms offer some potential dressing up. First of all, clean the grout in your tub/shower. Consider a new shower curtain. Other suggestions may arise from a personal visit.

One of my favorite affordable improvements in my current home and the one before was to install sun tunnels in dark areas such as a windowless garage or laundry room, or that dark corridor in the middle of your house. A brand name you’ve heard of is Solatube, but we purchased Velux sun tunnels for our houses.

They come in 10, 14 and 22-inch diameters because the joists in your ceiling and roof are either 12, 16 or 24 inches on center. The cost fully installed for ours was well under $1,000 each — so much better and less prone to leakage or hail damage than a rectangular skylight.

Look into installing sun tunnels for your own pleasure, not just to brighten up your home for selling. The more light you can bring into your home the more appealing it will be.

My broker associates and I are happy to walk through your house with you, even if you aren’t immediately ready to list your home, to make suggestions regarding things to fix or leave alone. Our phone numbers are listed below. Call one of us for a free consultation.

2-Bedroom Lakewood Condo Just Listed by Ty Scrable This two-bedroom condo at 1723 Robb $187,000 Street #9 is in an excellent location, with easy access to I-70 and 6th Avenue Expressway, under 15 minutes to Denver and even closer to Golden.

Big Jeffco employers await more info on vaccine mandate Critics argue high overall county vax rate make move unnecessary

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Businesses across Jefferson County will soon be responsible for verifying that their employees have been vaccinated — and requiring weekly COVID-19 testing for those that are not. That’s because of a new mandate announced by President Biden on Sept. 9 that applies to all companies with at least 100 employees.

But in the days after the initial announcement of the mandate, several of the county’s large employers said they were waiting for more information about how the mandate will work and when it will take effect before making changes to their own internal rules and practices.

Companies await rule Lakewood-based Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies, one of Jeffco’s biggest employers at around 2,300 Jeffco employees, is among the companies where leaders said they are still trying to understand the order.

Senior Vice President Bon Lopez said in an email to Colorado Community Media that his company could not share specific details

related to vaccine mandates.

What it could share, he said, is that the company encourages all of its employees to be vaccinated, has held vaccination clinics at its Lakewood campus and requires both masks and daily temperature checks for its employees.

Lopez said about 68% of Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies employees have received at least one vaccine dose as of Sept. 18. According to county data, about 78% of eligible Jeffco residents had received at least one dose of the vaccine as of Sept.

13.

A representative of the manufacturing company Coorstek, which is headquartered in Golden, also said she did not yet have much to say on the order as the company’s leaders work to understand it.

“We are working internally with our leadership teams as well as with our legal and government affairs departments to monitor the status of the official written record of Biden’s Executive Order and OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard,” said a statement provided by Coorstek Senior Director of Global Communications Nancy Fullerton.

“CoorsTek will continue to adhere to the requirements once we have additional details.”

Fullerton also said Coorstek, which employees about 1,300 people in Jeffco according to the county’s economic development corporation, would continue to encourage vaccinations and are following all CDC

MORE ON THE MANDATE On Sept. 9, President Joe Biden announced that the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration was developing a rule that would require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure all their employees are fully vaccinated or show a negative test once a week. Biden also announced mandates that would apply to all Federal contractor’s workforces and all health providers that accept Medicare and Medicaid (without the option of weekly testing).

OSHA has not yet released the rule and announced when it will take effect. and governmental guidance.

“We are already doing this” When asked for his initial thoughts, Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Jason Tidmore said he was unsure how much the order would impact Jeffco businesses given the county’s already-high rate of vaccination.

“By and large, we are already doing this,” he said. “And so when you look at where we are at, we don’t have a long way that we can really grow our vaccinated population.”

Given that, Tidmore said the mandate felt like “an unnecessary burden” on large Jeffco employers that have already by and large been doing the right things to combat COVID-19. Still, Tidmore predicted that there would be compliance by

Jeffco employers But while many employers that will be subject to the mandate are not yet actively requiring vaccinations among their employees, some had already taken that step.

Colorado School of Mines, which will be subject to a different portion of the mandate requiring vaccinations for all employees of Federal contractors, announced during the summer that it was requiring all employees and students to provide the school with proof they were fully vaccinated by the first day of classes.

However, Mines did allow both students and staff to apply for both medical and religious exemptions.

According to the Mines website, 90% of students and 86% of Mines staff had been vaccinated as of Sept.

10. About 11% of students and 14% of staff had not yet disclosed their status to the school.

As of Sept. 10, there had been 23 cases of COVID-19 on campus since the start of classes.

Vocal critics, proponents But while the companies Colorado Community Media reached out to all said they were looking to learn more and pledged to follow the mandate, some residents expressed a far different reaction.

pandemic is false and refuses to take the vaccine. He said that while he is not currently employed by a business governed by the mandate, he would still refuse vaccination if an employer required it.

“Absolutely, I would,” he said. “I’d quit my job.”

Pomeroy said he also worries about the impact mandates could have on him if he applies for new jobs in the future. Already, he’s had to cancel plans to go to a concert he was looking forward to in Denver after the venue announced it would require vaccination.

Golden resident Julie Ramstetter said she chose to get vaccinated herself but feels the decision to institute a Federal mandate is a bad one at a time when several businesses are already facing employee shortages.

“The attitude of many Americans is they won’t be forced into anything and given a choice they will leave their jobs,” she said in a message to Colorado Community Media.

Other residents, however, think those concerns are overstated.

“It’s important to note that the mandate also says employees can do weekly tests if they aren’t vaccinated — which I think is often overlooked,” said Max Garza. “So, except for the people that just like to make a big about “tyranny” or whatever, this shouldn’t really be a big deal since there is another alternative.”

Wanderfest brews up a good time in Golden New Terrain Brewing Co. threw a multi-day fifth birthday party

t seemed like a good portion of Golden must have cut out of work early to head to the New Terrain Brewing Company on the afternoon of Sept. 17: The sun was shining, the temperature was relatively cool and the brewery was holding its annual Wanderfest.

Held in celebration of the brewery’s birthday, the annual threeday event featured several bands, multiple food trucks and, of course, plenty of beer. Not to mention bountiful smiles.

Let’s hear it for the band - and orchestra too!

A conversation with band teacher Ilse Reardon

Football, soccer — a lot of fall school activities get a lot of press coverage every year while another pursuit that requires practice, dedication, teamwork and a lot of hard work goes relatively unnoticed — but not anymore.

Band kids, orchestra kids and proud, patient parents rejoice. You are finally getting some of that local paper fall coverage love you so richly deserve.

Each fall a brand-new group of kids becomes eligible to participate in a rite of passage that puts smiles on faces young and old alike — playing in the school band.

The sense of wonder that takes over a child’s imagination as they are introduced to the worlds of brass, woodwinds, strings and percussion is something Ilse Reardon knows well.

As a music teacher in Jeffco, she’s gotten a first-hand look at it every fall for the last 14 years.

But for Reardon, like others who hear the call, the magic of those moments started years before she started teaching.

“I grew up in Wheat Ridge. My parents have lived here since the

out of Everitt, but currently teaches music at nine Jeffco public schools, teaching two 40-minute classes at each, a few times per week.

“We just sort of roll in and teach and roll out and go to the next place,” she says. “It takes a while to get used to. It’s very physical.

I’m exhausted by the end of the day.”

Reardon says the exhaustion

is well worth it because of the energy the kids put into the music and what the music gives them in return — and it’s not all in the ears.

“There’s a lot of brain research out there that shows learning how to play an instrument really impacts the development of the brain especially at the age we start the kids at in Jeffco,” she says. “During that adolescent stage, playing an instrument is one of three activities that really grows your brain. Reading is another. And so is being active, running around.”

Reardon says playing an instrument is one of the few activities children do during the day that actually uses both sides of their brain at the same time and helps develop pathways in the brain.

Her voice lights up when she speaks about growth the young musicians achieve during the first year of playing. She says parents are amazed at progress made between the first concert typically held in November and the final performance of the year.

stuck out to me the most, is that the part of your brain that processes sounds and speech grows by more than 120% larger than somebody who doesn’t play an instrument.”

In fact, studies show that playing an instrument, particularly at a young age, brings a wealth of benefits to the musician.

According to an article in Inc. Magazine, in a University of Montreal study, lead researcher Simon Landry found that musicians have faster auditory, tactile, and audiotactile reaction times. The study also showed musicians are better at integrating inputs from different senses.

Reardon says students who play an instrument also learn a sense of discipline through practice and teamwork.

“One of the things I tell the kids all of the time is that ‘you not practicing or paying attention in any other class doesn’t really impact anybody else. But in band, orchestra and choir, if you don’t practice, it impacts the entire group and we can’t move on without you,’” she says.

She says she tries to communicate the point that everything the band does, it does together — they begin together and end together.

She thinks the group dynamic is one of the most important aspects of learning to play in the band.

“In marching band you’re going

to get this sense of team spirit, and in concert band you’ll get some of that too, but in different degrees of intensity.”

In addition to brain development and teamwork, Reardon says there’s the obvious benefit of being creative and the tremendous outlet playing an instrument gives children for getting their emotions out — connecting with each other in a way that’s different and unique.

“You get to be artistic and creative and express things that you can’t always express with words,” she says.

New subdivision moving forward at C-470 and Quincy 286 homes to be built at C-470 and 285

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A plan to build 286 homes near the interchange of C-470 and Highway 285 is moving forward after the Jefferson County commissioners approved a plat for the site on Sept. 14.

Last month, the commissioners unanimously voted to rezone a 37.4-acre property located just to the west of West Quincy Avenue and Turkey Creek Road on which developer Remington Homes was proposing to construct the development, which it is calling the Three Hills subdivision.

That vote came after a multi-hour hearing in which several residents raised concerns about issues ranging from the proposed development’s impact on the wildlife that inhabit the area to a perceived lack of infrastructure to serve the development to water and light pollution.

However, perhaps the

biggest issues related to the overall increase in population and density the development would bring to the area and the additional vehicles it would generate in an area where traffic is already a significant concern.

In explaining her decision to vote in favor of the rezoning, Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper said she appreciated that the development would have less of an impact than what could be built on

the property under its previous zoning classification, which allowed for a mix of commercial, agricultural and residential uses, including up to 300 units of housing.

All three of the commissioners praised the developers for listening to and trying to address the concerns raised by residents.

“What I really appreciate is really listening to the concerns that people have, going through them point by point and looking at the things that you are able to address,” said Commissioner Tracy KraftTharp of the developers.

The commissioners also said that while they understood the concerns about traffic, they felt that existing Colorado Department of Transportation plans to install roundabouts at the interchange of C-470 and Quincy will help to alleviate current traffic problems, even with the additional traffic the development would generate.

That traffic is also projected to be less than the amount that could be generated by the maximum uses allowed under the existing zoning.

Autopsy: Woman died in June from heart infection Infection typically results from drug use, autopsy said STAFF REPORT

The 29-year-old woman who died in the Jefferson County jail last June passed from complications from an infection of the heart’s interior lining called endocarditis, an autopsy found.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office announced on June 28 that Abby Angelo had died after being found unresponsive in her cell.

According to the autopsy report, Angelo had developed pneumonia, abcesses and pus cavities called empyemas as a result of the encocarditis. The report notes that endocarditis frequently results from intravenous drug use.

Angelo was arrested on drug-related Angelo charges and moved to a special housing unit on June 27 because of medical concerns and suicidal ideation. The report states that she was appearing to have a hard time detoxifying from drugs and had refused multiple meals. Deputies reported that she made statements that she would rather die than go through the detox process.

Deputies put her on a opioid protocol and watch that involved checking her vital signs and administering Tylenol and other drugs.

According to the report, Angelo had a history of Hepatitis C and heroin and meth use.

SALES TAX FROM PAGE 1

Budget Advisory Committee that the July numbers were like “deja vu all over again” with the city saw another strong month of sales tax numbers as many enthusiastically returned to summer travel and other activities after hunkering down at the height of the pandemic.

“Summer tourism season went incredibly well, people are still spending money and shopping online, they are going to Golden Mill,” said Hansen. “Right now, on the sales tax side life is good and we will keep riding this horse as long as we can.”

In a sales tax report sent to Golden’s city council on Sept. 7, Hansen explained that online retailers such as Amazon, Ebay and Walmart. com and food delivery services like GrubHub and Doordash have been driving a large portion of the recent increase.

In July of 2020, the Golden City Council passed a law requiring online retailers to collect Golden sales tax. Previously, doing so had been optional although many large retailers such as Amazon did collect the tax.

However, the memo states that local retailers are also seeing an “overall rebound from last year as people are getting out and spending money.” Home Depot, Kohl’s, Duluth Trading Company and Bent Gate’s collections are also up from last year, while restaurants have surpassed 2019 collection levels with the Golden Mill showing particularly positive results, according to

the memo.

When one member of the Citizens Budget Advisory Committee remarked that they were surprised the tax collections had surpassed not only 2020 levels but 2019 levels, Hansen said that increases in sales tax collections are generally expected due to inflation, population growth and other factors. However, the dramatic nature of the increase is likely attributable to pent up demand resulting from the pandemic, he said.

“Inflation is going to cause prices to go up,” Hansen said. “And one thing the pandemic has caused is increased prices in various areas, a lot of restaurants upped their prices to try and recoup their losses so sales tax on increased prices means more sales tax.”

CAG Thrift Shop & Food Pantry

When another member of the advisory committee questioned whether Hansen thought the staffing shortages plaguing many businesses could have an impact on sales tax collections, Hansen said it was too early to say.

“Some of this we just have to wait and see because my crystal ball is not real clear,” he said.

However, Hansen said he believed that the end of the extended unemployment benefits at the start of Sept. will likely make hiring easier as more businesses seek work.

Also included in the report was a chart comparing the city’s sales tax collections by month for the past three years.

That chart shows that the biggest drops relative to 2019 happened in the first few months of the pan-

COURTESY OF CITY OF GOLDEN

demic with collections starting to recover in the summer and even surpassing the 2020 numbers in October. Overall, 2020 sales tax collections were down about 13% from 2019. However through July, 2021 collections were up about 30.8% from the 2020 numbers.

However, the memo noted that one factor that could become a bigger concern when it comes to sales tax going forward is the spread of the delta variant, which has led some to be more cautious about going out.

But as of July, the variant did not appear to be having a large impact.

“While there is still some concern as to the impact of the Delta variant, it doesn’t seem to be slowing down the business activity downtown and throughout the city,” Hansen wrote in the memo.

Body found inside housefire STAFF REPORT

Just before midnight on Sept.

16, sheriff’s deputies responded to a disturbance in the 17100 block of Mount Vernon Road. When

deputies arrived, they found flames on one of the residences and contacted an adult female outside.

The female was transported to a hospital with serious injuries

unrelated to the fire, according to a sheriff’s office’s spokesperson.

Pleasant View, Golden, Fairmount and West Metro fire departments assisted in extinguishing the fire. Investigators verified

there was a deceased individual inside the residence.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office will determine the identity of the deceased. This is an active and ongoing investigation.

Colo. Republicans decide to stick with 2022 primaries But party may challenge state’s open primary system in court

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Republicans on Sept. 18 rejected a contentious push to opt out of next year’s primaries, which would have blocked the state’s 1.7 million unaffiliated voters from helping to select the GOP’s 2022 general election candidates.

The vote, taken at a meeting in Pueblo of the party’s central committee members, was 241 opposed to opting out and 172 in favor, far less than the 75% support — or 380 votes — needed to pass.

The opt-out question received the support of just 34% of the Colorado GOP central committee. Backers of the initiative knew it was likely they would come up short of the 75% threshold, but were hoping to

break 50% and send a clear message and potentially prompt a lawsuit challenging Colorado’s law allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in partisan primaries.

The central committee ultimately did vote to authorize the state party to file a legal challenge to the law, but it’s not clear if the lawsuit could proceed fast enough to effect the 2022 election.

The decision ends weeks of fractious debate over the question by the Colorado GOP, whose leaders are trying to preach unity ahead of next year’s elections.

Supporters of opting out in favor of the caucus and assembly process argued their route was a way to ensure party purity and stop potential voter fraud.

“The argument for me is clear,” Randy Corporon, a conservative talk radio host and Republican national committeeman from Colorado, said as he argued in favor of opting out. “Should Republicans and only Republicans be choosing our general election candidates? Or do we

continue the steady decline?”

Opponents warned that opting out would continue to relegate Republicans to minority-party status in Colorado. The Colorado Springs Gazette’s conservative editorial board recently said the call to opt out was “nothing short of a plan for political suicide.”

Kay Rendleman, a member of the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee and a former chair of the El Paso County GOP, on Sept. 18 voted against opting out because she wants to ensure all of her party’s 1 million voters can participate in selecting general election candidates.

She loves the caucus and assembly process, but said that it can limit participation since it requires people to show up to voice their opinion at a specific place and time.

“I think it’s just critical, critical that we empower as many of our Republicans to be involved in the selection of our nominees,” Rendleman said. “Having the primary, even though it allows unaffiliateds to vote — the voice of the Republicans

needs to be heard.”

Unaffiliated voters made up 43% of registered voters in Colorado SEE PRIMARIES, P28

VOICES

Hindsight of a 30-year teaching career

was a public school teacher for 30 years. And, for many of those years, I was an outsider in the buildings, from both a mechanical standpoint and a philosophical HITTING standpoint. But, HOME now that the school year is fully underway, and I am occupationally an outsider now, too, please let me share with you some of the things I’ve learned from that perspective.

First of all, Michael Alcorn building-level adults — teachers, staff, administrators — are awesome people. Seriously, you should see some of the brilliant things that I’ve had the privilege to

witness over 30 years. As a whole, the intelligence, dedication, creativity, compassion and humanity that are the day-to-day norms in the buildings I’ve been in are unlike anything I ever imagined they would be. It is truly inspiring.

Some of my favorite people are the teachers and support staff who work with the special needs kids. If you think about the combination of skills required for that job — during the day, teaching students with different and sometimes limited abilities; after hours, nothing but meetings and reams of paperwork — you can understand why they might develop a bit of a dark sense of humor. An awesome lady named Judy taught me that years ago, and it’s held true ever since.

School lesson that *absolutely* translates to the real world: Under-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City council should fight nicotine addiction As a pediatrician and Golden resident, I’ve seen countless young people turn to nicotine to cope with stress, which has only been amplified by the impacts of COVID-19. As a parent, I am troubled by the way my children are targeted by the tobacco industry with candyflavored vape juice, menthol cigarettes, and fruity cigarillos. As we continue to assess the multi-faceted impacts of COVID-19 in Golden, there are tangible policy opportunities that can have an immediate impact on youth health. This is why it is time for Golden City Council to end the sale of flavored tobacco products once and for all.

The tobacco industry has aggressively worked to block other flavored policy initiatives in the past, often perpetuating misleading arguments about adult choice. Yet the industry fails to mention that nine out of ten adults who smoke cigarettes started before the age of 18. According to the 2019 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, youth tobacco use remains problematic locally, with more than one in four Jefferson County youth reporting they currently vape. More recently, the National Youth Tobacco Survey found that more than 8 out of 10 youth in the U.S. who SEE LETTERS, P15

stand the real power structure of your organization. You would think that in any building, the center of power is the principal — not true.

I’ve had many, many great principals … but hardly any of them ever had a tenure longer than mine, and NONE of them had a tenure longer than their lead administrative secretary. THAT’s where the power lies.

Kids are, mostly, just kids. They don’t change that much. I’ll have a lot more to say about kids next week, but let me just start with that.

Thirty years ago, my biggest complaint was that the kids didn’t do enough work on their own; last year, my biggest complaint was …the same. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I didn’t practice as much as I should have when I was young, so…

What has changed a lot is the culture and society around the kids,

and that shows up in the classroom.

Thirty years ago, a young athlete would play football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring and summer; these days, a young athlete, more often than not, plays one sport all year long, and maybe sprinkles in a second sport just for conditioning. And that same dynamic plays out in the rest of the building, too: many gifted students begin taking Advanced Placement courses as freshmen, and forgo many electives and other activities to focus on getting into their top college. I don’t think that is good or healthy for kids, but that’s the reality these days.

What that means for everybody who has “programs” is that it’s harder to find contributors — that SEE ALCORN, P15

Vote no, no, no

T

he prospect of having to decide how to vote on ballot issues seems to turn some otherwise strong, confident people into jelly.

GUEST Let me make the decisions easy for COLUMN you.

All of this year’s proposals are wolves in sheep’s clothing: Give power to the legislature to appropriate funds? Of course.

Tax marijuana to provide enrichment Linda Rockwell opportunities for low-income children? No-brainer.

Cut property tax rates? Why not?

All three of these measures have been put forth by people whose ideas cannot pass muster in the legislature. They have spent millions of dollars to gather signatures to get them on the ballot. Don’t let them deceive you.

The first is an amendment to the Colorado constitution, so it must have 55% of the vote to pass.

Amendment 78 would take the responsibility for allocating “custodial funds” out of the hands of the state treasurer and the executive branch and give it to the legislature. Custodial funds are defined as those that originate outside the state, and include federal funds and money from legal settlements. What’s wrong with that? One big problem is that

the legislature is only in session for 120 days a year. Money designated for disaster relief, for example, might not be allocated for many months. Or a special session of the legislature, at a cost of about $25,000 per day, might be required.

As near as I can tell, no problems exist with the current system. No money is finding its way into the wrong hands, and no decisions are being made without public input.

As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Next up is Proposition 119, a change to state law that only needs a majority to pass. It is the most odious of the three. This law would increase the sales tax on marijuana, drain resources from the public schools, give power to an unelected board, and channel tax dollars to private, uncertified providers.

Because public education is the bedrock of our democracy, we should all be doing whatever we can to make the system better and stronger.

Let’s not weaken it by giving unaccountable private entities control over public money. I’m also opposed because I fear that an increase in the marijuana tax will drive more cannabis users to the black market.

Proposition 120 is brought to you by the same anti-tax, anti-government people as Amendment 78 and was paid for by the same dark money group. Its original aim was to lower residential property assessment rates across the board, but the

legislature intervened after the ballot language was set, so now it will only affect multifamily and lodging properties. This all came about because the repeal of the Gallagher Amendment in 2020 — a good thing — gave the legislature the power to set property tax assessment rates.

The really insidious part of this proposal is the lifting of the TABOR cap to ensure that the state has enough money to reimburse counties for the property tax exemptions available to some seniors and disabled veterans. Current law requires this, so this provision does nothing but give the proponents an opportunity to pull at people’s heartstrings.

Health care heroes deserve our thanks

J

efferson County has experienced nearly 50,000 COVID-19 cases. To put that into perspective, one in 12 people in our county have been GUEST infected by COVID-19 at one point COLUMN over the last year and a half. Just like rest of our country, this pandemic has brought fear, uncertainty, sadness, frustration, and anger to our communities. We have faced loss, Tracy Kraft-Tharp grief, and panic in a way that we could have never expected. And as the Delta variant spreads, we must ensure that we continue protecting ourselves and our neighbors to prevent this from ever happening again.

Local ICUs treated hundreds of patients a day, however, Jefferson County adapted and pulled through, and much the reason is our dedicated health care heroes in hospitals, who showed up to work each day and put their own lives on the line to protect and care for all of us.

Our local hospitals and medical staff have always been a cornerstone of health and healing for communities across the nation — the pandemic just made it more apparent than ever. In all the years that I have lived in Jeffco, I have been proud of the services our doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff provide to patients, delivering robust choice and specialty services and allowing access for those who need it. It is one of the main reasons that supporting our hospital systems was a top priority

of mine when I held state and local offices.

What’s more, support for local hospitals does not just mean better care for patients. While, of course, that is what is most important — as we saw with COVID-19 — it also means more support for the community. Hospitals are major job creators within our region, employing thousands of residents and paying millions of dollars in payroll and benefits. They are charity donors, contributing money and supplies in times of need, and they provide uncompensated care to those who are not able to pay for it. And none of this stopped during COVID-19.

In fact, many of our area hospitals went above and beyond their duties of caring for both COVID-19 patients and those suffering from other emergency conditions over the last year. Many hospitals shifted

investment to frontline healthcare workers. For example, HealthONE provided bonuses to all full- and part-time employees and had no layoffs due to the pandemic. And area hospitals ramped up donations of protective supplies and funds to organizations working for COVID relief.

The care and support our health care heroes and hospitals continue providing the people of Jefferson County and the Denver area is nothing short of outstanding. They deserve our thanks and support now, as we navigate our way out of the pandemic, and beyond. Doing so will ensure that our communities continue receiving the most extensive care possible.

LIFE

Local teen finished seventh in Tokyo Olympics

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen Colin Duffy first laid eyes on an indoor climbing wall, he was only 3 years old.

The colorful holds drew his attention and he begged his parents to let him give the sport a try. By 7, he was climbing in full-sized gyms. And now, at 17, Duffy was the youngest competitor in the first-ever Olympic sport climbing event.

“I think I just love how unique of a physical challenge it is,” he said about the sport. “Not only do you have to be strong enough to solve the climbs and problems but you also have to use your brain, figuring out body position and what the best strategy is going to be for each route.”

Duffy, a Broomfield resident and a student of Stargate Charter School in the Adams 12 district, grew up climbing in the area. He frequents local rock climbing gyms like G1 Climbing + Fitness, and his favorite local spot to climb outdoors is Rocky Mountain National Park.

Duffy qualified for this year’s Olympic Games in 2020 when he won the International Federation of Sport Climbing’s Pan American Championship in Los Angeles.

“I was kind of just awestruck after qualifying,” he said. “It didn’t really feel real.”

Then, the Olympic Games were delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leading up to the Tokyo Olympics, Duffy, like many Olympic athletes, had to face a variety of new training methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For several months, gyms were closed and Duffy had to practice his climbing on an at-home wall in his basement.

When gyms opened, he adjusted to training while wearing a mask. Then, two weeks before the climbing competitions started, he traveled with the rest of the four-person U.S. team to Tokyo in early August. Once in Japan, Duffy and his colleagues began to work on acclimating to the humid, hot weather they’d be competing in.

“I think the most noticeable difference for me was the heat,” Duffy said. “I’ve always been used to dry heat and a lack of humidity, so being in such an intense climate and having to compete outdoors in that was really kind of hard to adjust to.”

Colin Duffy, who placed seventh in the first-ever sport climbing competition in the Tokyo Olympics, competes in a lead climbPHOTO BY DANIEL GAJDA ing event in Innsbruck, Austria.

ven a casual drive around the Denver metro area will unveil a bevy of architectural gems, with even more design secrets hiding behind doors you might not expect. But since getting an invite to house parties at all these places was dubious even before a global pandemic, the Denver Architecture Foundation hosts Doors Open Denver to share these built environment stories.

This year’s event begins on Monday, Sept.

27 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 17 and features a blend of virtual and in-person tours. The free, virtual tours are available on-demand and include four 2021 stops and 12 archived stops from last year’s event.

In-person tours take place Saturdays and Sundays with four tours per day, according to provided information. Sites include the Clyfford Still Museum, the Historic Elitch Theater, the Historic 11th Avenue Hostel and the US. Olympic and Paralympic Museum. Tickets for in-person tours are available but are expected to be in high demand.

As part of the event, the Y/OUR Denver photography competition will also be back, accepting entries through Thursday, Oct. 23. The corresponding exhibit of top entries will open to the public virtually in December.

We spoke to Pauline Herrera, Denver Architecture Foundation executive director,

about this year’s event and what you need to know: How did you go about planning this year’s event, with the pandemic still going?

We began planning in late 2020. Since, at the time, we did not know where things were headed with the pandemic, we decided to pursue a virtual event for 2021, like we had in 2020. We remained open, however, to including in-person opportunities, if that became possible. We’re glad it did and that we’re able to present a hybrid event this year.

climbing.

In the bouldering event, athletes attempt to scale short, challenging pre-set routes, also known as problems, which are made up of plastic imitation rocks of various shapes and sizes. The walls in this event are about 15 feet high and surrounded by large pads. Climbers don’t use any rope for this event.

During lead climbing, the athletes are tied into a rope as they see how high they can get on a wall more than 50 feet high. As they climb, the competitors attach their rope into clips placed along the wall. On the ground, a belayer attached to the same rope is ready to catch the climber if they fall or finish the route.

While each route and problem in the lead climbing and bouldering disciplines is unique and never-before-seen by the athletes, the speed climbing event is different in that it presents the same route in every competition. Athletes dart up this standard route to see how quickly they can press a touchpad at the top. The fastest speed at the finals of the Olympics was 6.02 seconds.

In this year’s Olympics, climbers were required to participate in

all three events, with their score being determined by how they ranked in each one. Some in the sport criticized this format because of the inherent differences between speed climbing and the other two disciplines.

Duffy’s favorite climbing events are bouldering and lead climbing, he said. In the next Olympic games, there will be one competition for speed climbing and one combining bouldering and lead.

Duffy was one of eight climbers who made it into the Olympic finals out of 20 male athletes. In the finals, he finished seventh overall. In the speed competition he ranked fifth, with 6.35 as his fastest time. In the bouldering event he finished in fourth place, and in the lead competition he ranked third.

Nathaniel Coleman, the other male climber from the U.S., took silver in the competition. Brooke Raboutou — from Boulder, Colorado — placed fifth in the women’s competition.

“I had a lot of fun,” Duffy said.

“I think a lot of people probably look at it as the most intense event possible, but I think outside of the competition days, being around the village and being surrounded by so many incredible athletes, everyone is always smiling and just happy to be there with their teammates.”

Enjoying the games As the youngest climber there, Duffy felt like he was able to relax and not put too much pressure on himself, he said.

“I think it allowed me to climb pretty loosely, especially in the qualifiers, I felt like I had nothing to lose being the youngest one there,” he said. “I know I’ll have other opportunities in the future, and being so young, there’s really no pressure or expectations on me, so my main goal was just to have fun.”

Due to the pandemic, Duffy’s family was not able to attend the games in person and instead had to wake up each night of the event about 2 a.m. to watch the competition in real time. But Nancy Duffy, Colin’s mom, said it wasn’t difficult to stay alert.

“When your kid is going, you’re nervous,” she said. “So it’s easy to stay awake at that point.”

Duffy hopes to compete again in the next Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, he said.

“I just hope in the future that climbing continues to gain recognition. I think it’s a sport that … people are really fascinated by,” he said. “It’s much different than the traditional sports you’ll see. Hopefully people that watch the Olympics really enjoy it and it starts to gain more traction.”

Bales of fun to be had this fall

W

ell, fall is officially here!

I always love the changing leaf colors, cooler temperatures and earlier sunsets. I also like the holidays that happen in the Fall, AVENUE particularly HalFLASHES loween. As I have mentioned before, my wife sort of makes a career out of that one.

She’s an artist and while a lot of other artists put their efforts into making Christmas sales, John Akal she’s one season ahead of them making funny little skulls that light up, haunted houses and spooky jewelry. Once October hits, she heads into her costume room (yes, she has an entire costume room, not just a closet) and wears something different every day or night she goes out with her wares to sell. All of her costumes have some kind of name too. It gets a little confusing for me around here when she starts asking if she should wear her “Sponge Bath Betty” outfit or the “Voodoo Magic” one. Yeah, she’s got about a hundred of these.Keeping track of what all of them are is kind of mind boggling.

Of course, one of the big things for Halloween is ghosts. I think I have one here in my house. If you

own a computer of any kind, you probably think you have one too.

Last week, for no apparent reason, the keyboard on my laptop, which is where I do most of my work including writing this column, started typing all kinds of crazy characters. Half of the letters didn’t work, others started typing multiple things, and a couple of them made the whole screen disappear and reappear in some random way. I used my phone to research what the problem might be, tried everything to fix it, rebooted a dozen times and nothing worked. It was just stuck in goofy mode. I finally gave up after hours of “troubleshooting” and resigned myself to having to take it to the computer repair place. The next morning, I got up, decided to give it one more try and the thing was working just fine. I didn’t do anything else, just sat down at the table and tried to type something.

It was all back to normal. Yup, must have been ghosts or spirits.

I like that explanation better than jumping to the conclusion that I’m just a computer idiot.

But, looking at the overall picture, the biggest thing Fall is all about is that it’s the end of harvest season. That means that all of the produce has grown and the hay has been bundled for the season. That’s why big pumpkins, dried Indian corn and corn stalks as well as hay bails have become a part of the season’s décor. And

with hay bails comes another traditional fall activity… hay rides.

The rides started more than a century ago when farmers would be pulling wagon loads of hay into the barn from the fields and progressed into a recreational activity people would do for fun.

There are all kinds of variations associated with them like haunted hay rides, cider tasting hay rides, and pumpkin patch hay rides but here in Golden, we have our own version every year.

Yes, It’s time once again for the Golden Hayride Beer Tour and this year it promises to be “ bigger, better and beerier” than ever before. It’s happening on Friday and Saturday nights starting on Saturday, Sept. 25 and continuing every weekend throughout October.

For $50 at 6 p.m. you meet at the Colorado Plus 49 Cidery & Pub, located at 1100 Arapahoe Street here in Golden. You sample a beer and some of their fancy French fries there, then climb onto the back of a flatbed truck with hay bales for seating and drive on to the next stop, where you sample another beer, then back onto the

truck and on to the next stop. And so on. The truck will be stopping at Golden City Brewery, Barrels & Bottles Brewery at Camp George West, Coda Brewing, The Golden Mill, Miner’s Saloon/Brick Room, Goosetown Station and The BC Underground. It also includes a slice of Woody’s Wood Fired Pizza and a cupcake from Gold Mine Cupcakes. New this year, you also get a cool swag bag with lots of local discount coupons, a souvenir Beer Tour cup and a pretzel necklace.

Due to the fact that this is a beer tour, it should be obvious that it’s for adults over 21 only, not a family event. You will need to order tickets in advance and it sells out quickly. You can do that and get more information at www.goldenhayride.com. Don’t forget to dress warm, it’s fall.

Advisory board calls for renaming Squaw Mountain Proposed replacement name after influential Cheyenne translator

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board on Thursday made its first recommendation: changing the name of Squaw Mountain in Clear Creek County to Mestaa’ehehe Mountain.

After a year of plodding procedural meetings, the board unanimously approved renaming the peak — referred to in debate as “SMountain” — after the influential Cheyenne translator known as Owl Woman, who facilitated relations between white settlers and Native American tribes in the early 1800s.

Mestaa’ehehe is pronounced messtaw-HAY. “I think this will be a good change for Coloradans and all Native Americans,” said Fred Mosqueda, the Arapaho coordinator for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Culture Program.

Members of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in October filed the application for the name change with the U.S. Geological Survey’s Board on Geographic Names, which has final say over name changes on federal land. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis revived the 15-member Colo-

The federal board has a list of 13 locations in Colorado for which residents have submitted namechange applications. That list includes changing Clear Creek County’s Mount Evans to Mount Cheyenne Arapaho and S-Mountain to Mestaa’ehehe Mountain.

Jim Ramey, the Colorado director of The Wilderness Society, was among a handful of Colorado residents and Native American leaders who voiced support for the name change.

“We believe the current name is patently offensive and should have no place on public lands,” Ramey said.

Other locations on the state board’s list of possible name changes include Chinaman Gulch in Chaffee County and a mesa and creek in Delta County named by Mexican settlers for the color black,

or “negro.”

The Colorado board continued its discussion on the Delta County name changes — proposed by the Delta County Board of Commissioners who surveyed local high schoolers to come up with the replacement names Clay Creek and Clay Mesa — until its October meeting. Members of the board wanted to continue outreach to a wider audience before recommending the new names.

The vote to change S-Mountain included little discussion from the board’s 15 members, who first met in September 2020 and began hammering out procedures for gathering input on proposed name changes in the state. The board’s formation was part of a national movement to reassess names and monuments considered offensive or racist.

RENAMING FROM PAGE 20

Sculptures have fallen. Professional sports teams have changed names. Mascots have been retired.

Since as early as 1995, state lawmakers in Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon and South Dakota have removed the name squaw from landmarks.

Most recently, this week the California ski area with that name announced it would be known as Palisades at Tahoe, which is owned

by Denver’s Alterra Mountain Co. The shift took the Olympic Valley ski area more than a year as it worked with the Washoe Tribe and local residents.

Ski area president and CEO Dee Byrne said her team weighed “thousands of data points,” as it considered the name change.

The Palisades at Tahoe ski area now launches the arduous task of changing a 70-year-old identity. (The ski area sent a list of tasks, including changes to 32,000 uniform pieces and switching signs and logos at 5,000 locations around the ski hill.)

Many will be watching Palisades at Tahoe as it navigates rebranding from of one of the resort industry’s most venerable names. The process could help Colorado communities as they begin stripping names off landmarks.

“There is no roadmap out there for this,” said Byrne, who expects the full shift to take as long as three seasons. “Even with our branding agency, there is no playbook we can

open up.”

No one lobbied the ski area for the name change. Protestors weren’t picketing the resort. But last year, after George Floyd was killed by police officers in Minnesota and Black Lives Matter protests spurred the removalof racist icons from the public square — including a tribute to Christopher Columbusand a statue of Kit Carson in downtown Denver — and a chorus of voices demanding that decades, if not centuries of embedded discrimination be shed, “it was just time,” Byrne said.

“It was just so abundantly clear it was wrong,” she said. “Squaw is a hurtful name and we are not hurtful

people.”

The shift at S-Mountain in Clear Creek County will be a first and will set the path for future — and more involved — name changes. It’s likely that the pass over the saddle of S-Mountain will be renamed. A few signs must be replaced.

That will help as the state naming board considers Mount Evans, which is named after Colorado’s second territorial governor, who resigned in disgrace after the cavalryled massacre of nearly 200 Arapaho and Cheyenne tribal members at Sand Creek in 1864.

And that process could help with an even more tangled removal of

the Gore name from the name from central Colorado’s largely roadless mountain range. Lord St. George Gore was an Irish aristocrat who spent two years in Colorado in the mid-1800s slaughtering just about every animal that crossed his path.

No one is absolutely clear about how his name found its way to the mountain range, but Gore is now intricately entwined in many Eagle, Summit and Grand county communities, where dozens of creeks, streets and businesses carry the name.

Clear Creek County is among the first Colorado communities to begin the shift to a new name for a county landmark. The county’s board of commissioners in June approved the change to Mestaa’ehehe Mountain.

Clear Creek County Commissioner Randy Wheelock said he heard “some virulent reaction” to the name change, but many more residents supported the shift.

“Especially once they understood the history of Owl Woman,” Wheelock said.

Removing the offensive name sets the path for changing Mount Evans, which is high on the state board’s to-do list.

“We are looking forward to that conversation,” Wheelock said. “And continuing our education.”

Denver Art Museum’s Martin Building reopens after $150M project

Tickets to the renovated north campus now available

BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE

For more than three years, the north side of the Denver Art Museum campus has been closed for renovation. But soon, just in time for what is now known as the Lanny and Sharon Martin Building’s 50th anniversary, visitors will finally get to see inside the eight-floor struc-

ture designed by Gio Ponti, as well as the new Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center.

The reimagined campus will reopen to the public with a free admission day on Oct. 24. The newly restored Martin Building offers 33,328 square feet of new gallery and public space, educational programming, artist interactions, expanded outdoor spaces, and sweeping views of the city and mountains.

It also features the new Jana & Fred Bartlit Learning and Engagement Center, which offers more than 17,600 square feet of programming space, workshop rooms, community galleries and interactive gathering

spaces, including activations by artists Frankie Toan and Moe Gram.

The 50,000-square-foot Welcome Center, which connects the Martin Building to the museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton Building to the south, will offer ticketing guest services, programming spaces, an art conservation and technical studies laboratory, and two new dining spaces, including the quick-service Café Gio and the Ponti Restaurant, which features a locally sourced menu by James Beard Award-winning Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski “We are looking forward to being open for creativity, joy and wonder – welcoming our community into new, dynamic spaces this fall, to explore art, world cultures and their own creativity,” museum director Christoph Heinrich said in a press release.

Press materials also say that as part of the Martin Building’s redesign, its galleries have been updated with a commitment to inclusion.

Some of those initiatives include highlighting more contemporary and community artists, as well as including bilingual art labels in both English and Spanish throughout the entire museum campus.

Some of the updated or new collection galleries include the Northwest Coast and Alaska Native galleries, Indigenous Arts of North America galleries, Latin American Art and Art of the Ancient Americas galleries, Asian Art galleries, European Art Before 1800, Textile Art and

Fashion and Photography galleries, and Western American Art galleries.

The first floor of the Martin Building, which once was used primarily as art storage, will operate as the 6,500-square-foot Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Gallery. The space will open with “ReVisión: Art in the Americas,” an exhibition highlighting about 180 works from the DAM’s Latin American and Art of the Ancient Americas collections.

The renovations cost $150 million to build. Denver Art Museum Board Chairman Lanny Martin and his wife Sharon Martin, for whom the Martin Building is named, contributed the first $25 million. Voterapproved Elevate Denver Bonds covered an additional $35.5 million, and the museum helped cover the rest by matching public investment dollars at a three-to-one ratio.

The renovated campus will reopen to the public Oct. 24 with an opening day celebration from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. While it’s free to attend, guests must reserve tickets, which are now available. And if you’re a member and you want to check out the campus early, you can attend a Member Preview on Oct. 21, 22 or 23.

Jackalope Arts Festival comes to Olde Town Artisans from across the state showcase goods at two-day event

BY RYAN DUNN AND ERIN MCGOVERN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

The Jackalope Arts Festival came to Olde Town Arvada for the first time on Sept. 18 and 19, showcasing handmade goods made by over 60 local artisans from across the state.

The festival was free of charge to attendees and ran from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.

Jackalope co-founder Melissa Kohout — herself an Arvada native — said she was inspired to bring the festival to her hometown in part because of the recent beautification efforts enacted in the Olde Town district.

“I love it. I love the murals, I think they’re so artistic and I think it really goes well with Jackalope,” said Kohout. “I love all the restaurants and shops in Olde Town, so it’s fun to just sort of add to it and hopefully all of us work together to bring more people to Arvada.”

Olde Town Business Improvement District Marketing and Events Manager Carya Haas said the festival’s organizers reached out to the BID hoping to hold Jackalope in Olde Town and said the BID worked with the Kohout and fellow Jackalope CoFounder Sara Deitrich to help get the event off the ground.

“Jackalope actually reached out to us,” said Haas. “One of the organizers is originally from Arvada, and it’s my understanding that the street closures and stuff are what made Arvada really appealing for this festival… We’ve been working with them through the process to give them a leg-up and not have them start from scratch.”

Vendors at the festival included artisans of all types, including jewelers, leatherworkers, painters and botanists.

Alissandra Seelaus, a maker of digitally hand-drawn cards and pints, said that while she showcased her work at Jackalope before, she felt that the Arvada location was ideal for the event.

“This is the perfect spot. I’ve never been here before, I’m ashamed to

Evergreen and Columbine boys golf teams capture Jeffco League titles Lange edges Messingham in tight 5A Jeffco medalist crown

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — The race for Class 5A Jeffco League boys golf individual medalist title was as tight as could be Sept. 14 at West Woods Golf Club.

The previous two individual medalist winners — Lakewood senior Max Lange and Ralston Valley senior Gage Messingham — were dead locked with a 9-hole average of 34.2 strokes over the first five conference tournaments. Lange (medalist as a sophomore in 2019) was paired in the same foursome with Messingham (defending medalist from 2020) in the final league tournament of the season.

“It felt like match-play between me and Gage,” Lange said. “Gage and I are actually really good friends.

Talking down the 18th fairway with him was pretty cool. It’s great to compete against him. He is a really great golfer.”

Lange would eventually claim his second individual medalist league title of his career thanks to a strong run on the back-nine. The senior was 4-over-par early on in his final nine holes, but managed a run of four birdies in the final five holes to finish with a 1-over-par 73.

“I felt like I would never give up. I just kept going,” Lange said of his round. “I couldn’t make a putt to save my life, but coming in (backnine) I knew I had an easy stretch and could bounce back even with starting bad.”

Messingham had a hot start with three birdies on his first five holes. He eventually finished with a 1-under-par 71. Despite Messingham with a 2-stroke better finish on the day, the bylaws to determine the individual medalist title calls for each golfer to drop their two worst 9-hole scores over the six tournaments.

When all the numbers were crunched, Lange finished with a 33.8 9-hole average and Messingham finished with a 34.0 9-hole average. The medalist title was actually decided by two strokes.

“It wasn’t the way I wanted to end

Lakewood senior Max Lange hits his approach shot on No. 2 hole on the Sleeping Indian nine at West Woods GC on Sept. 14.

Lange claimed his second Class 5A Jeffco League medalist title of his career just edging out Ralston Valley senior Gage Messingham by two strokes over the six league tournament.

(league),” Messingham said. “It is what it is.”

The Ralston Valley senior was quick to move on to the runner-up finish in the extremely competitive 5A Jeffco League.

“Just focusing on regionals now,” said Messingham, who finished tied for 7th at the 5A state tournament last year. “Get in some practice rounds and then move on to state.”

The four 5A regional and state qualifying tournaments will be played Sept. 20-23 next week. The team finish in league determines which regional Jeffco teams will be headed to. The 5A state tournament is scheduled for Colorado Springs Country Club on Oct. 4 and 5.

“I would like to see it comes down to me and Gage at state,” Lange said. “I do have to focus on regionals and put my team in a good place to qualify for state as a team.”

Columbine ended a long drought on the links. The Rebels wrapped up the 5A Jeffco team title for the first time since 1977. Sophomore Matai Naqica shot a 2-under-par 70 to lead the way for Columbine.

“We haven’t won a league championship in 44 years,” Naqica said.

“It’s a big one for us.”

Naqica finished the league season strong by winning the tournament at Homestead Golf Course last week and finishing second behind

Valor junior Colin Young who shot a 4-under-par 68 at West Woods.

“I’ve just put in more working and focusing more in general to the tournament itself,” Naqica said. “Doing the little things right.”

On the 4A side, Evergreen did a lot right during the regular season.

The Cougars cruised to the 4A Jeffco League team title and freshman Tyler Long dominated winning the individual medalist title.

“It was solid,” Long said after his 3-under-par, 69 at West Woods.

There was a little bit of pressure on Long even if he didn’t realize it. The freshman didn’t golf at the Homestead tournament last week, so the two 9-holes he dropped had to be that whole tournament at the short championship course that is a

par 65.

“I didn’t even know that existed,” Long said about players dropping your two worst 9-hole scores when determining the individual medalist title. “It feels pretty good. I’ve been playing a lot of competitive tournament golf.”

The Cougars and the rest of the 4A Jeffco teams will head to the 4A Region 2 tournament at Country Club of Colorado on Sept. 20 in Colorado Springs.

“I just want to play good golf,” Long said about heading to regionals and likely state.

C R O S S W O R D PRIMARIES P U Z Z L E FROM PAGE 13

at the end of July, compared with Republicans at 26% and Democrats at 29%.

GOP leaders have been trying to tweak their messaging to win over unaffiliated voters in 2022 and reverse two election cycles of defeat.

Colorado GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown unveiled a “Commitment to Colorado” this summer specifically aimed at attracting unaffiliated voters and highlighting party priorities like school choice and tackling crime.

“We are focused on 2022 and winning over all voters in Colorado,” Burton Brown said in a written statement after Saturday’s vote. She didn’t take a public position on the opt out question.

Colorado voters passed Proposition 108 in 2016 giving unaffiliated voters the ability to vote in partisan primaries.

There is only one Republican — University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl — who holds statewide elected office. She was elected in 2016 and is now running to unseat Democratic Gov. Jared Polis in 2022.

Members of the central committee of the Colorado Republican Party vote at the Pueblo Convention Center on Sept.

No Republican running for statewide office has secured more than 45% of the vote in the past two election cycles. The GOP is also in the minority in the state Senate and House.

STEM shooter’s sentence meant to send message Killer given life in prison without parole, 1,282 years

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Breathless, Syketha Sprague tried to describe for a Douglas County judge the lifelong impact of a school shooting.

Her voice started out as a strained whisper. Sprague uttered her words between gasps for air. Tears choked the visibly shaken woman. Then she made an admission to the packed galley.

For more than two years, Sprague has struggled to look John and Maria Castillo in the eyes, she said.

Sprague’s only son survived the May 7, 2019, shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch, which left senior Kendrick Castillo dead and eight other students injured.

Every birthday, every holiday since, reminded her the Castillos lost their only son that day while she still held hers.

As Sprague spoke, John put his arm around Maria, who wept into her mask. Just like every past hearing, the couple sat in the front row of the Castle Rock courtroom.

Following a five-hour hearing on Sept. 17 hearing, District Judge Theresa Slade sentenced Devon Erickson, the older of two gunmen convicted in the shooting, to life in prison without a possibility of

In a June 15, 2021, file photo, John Castillo speaks with reporters after a jury found Devon Erickson, the person who fatally shot Castillo’s son Kendrick, guilty of first-degree murder. Behind him are investigators and prosecutors from the district attorney’s PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER office.

parole plus — according to prosecutors’ calculation — 1,282.5 additional years.

At the hearing, numerous victims said that they received a life sentence the day of the attack. Years of physical trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, and for scores of people, survivor guilt.

Sprague castigated the adult STEM School gunman for shattering lives. She grew up in an area

plagued by violence, and she sent her son to STEM School because she “wanted a different life for my child.”

“I pray that you acknowledge what you have done,” she said. “I pray God has mercy on your soul.”

The sentence’s weight The sentencing hearing served as a milestone in a case that took nearly 2 1/2 years to reach that point

— convicting and sentencing both gunmen.

In a news conference following the hearing, Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock and 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner commended people impacted by the attack for standing up in court and speaking about their experiences.

“Here they are today still carrying that day with them, but being strong enough to say ‘We want to tell you how we feel, we want to have justice,’” Spurlock said.

The sentence itself was noteworthy, prosecutors and law enforcement said, and came down in stark contrast to Erickson’s co-defendant, Alec McKinney.

The younger convicted shooter was 16 at the time of the attack — his codefendant, Erickson, was 18 — and was sentenced in July 2020

by District Judge Jeffrey K. Holmes to life in prison plus 38 years, with the possibility of parole after 40 years. Former 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, who led the prosecution of Erickson, has lambasted a juvenile offender program for which McKinney could qualify, possibly securing his release in 25 years.

Golden Transcript 39

September 23, 2021

SHOOTER FROM PAGE 33

Based on the charges in Erickson’s conviction, state statute required he receive life in prison without the possibility of parole, but Slade had some discretion over how many years she tacked on.

Prosecutors said in court they believed the range to be an additional 400 years on the low end and 1,276 on the higher end, although the sentence ultimately exceeded their estimate.

People who gave impact statements pleaded for the maximum sentence allowed by law.

Erickson’s defense attorney, David Kaplan, spoke at length to the judge and courtroom, telling Slade that the individual he and his colleague know is capable of rehabilitation and got swept up in the tragedy amid personal crisis. The number of years she added would not make a real difference in achieving accountability, he said, and risked glorifying the crime.

The shooter’s parents, grandfather and girlfriend told the room he showed remorse in private moments, despite a stoic persona in court.

As Erickson’s loved ones spoke about his life before the shooting — trips with his father, bonding with his grandfather, his mother’s health struggles — the convicted shooter at last broke down, quietly sobbing as he hunched over in his seat.

Shooting survivors in the galley

reacted with a mix of shock, dismay, or disbelief to comments made in defense of Erickson’s character.

Parents buried their faces in their hands or motioned for defense attorneys to hurry up. Former STEM students raised their eyebrows or quietly shook their heads.

Judge Slade didn’t buy it either.

Erickson’s reactions appeared “manipulative at best,” she said. He failed to offer a reason behind the attack, something she heard victims cry for in victim impact statements, she said.

Slade also told the defendant he had not taken accountability. A nearly 600-page presentence investigation included a one-page statement purportedly written by him, but it included nothing substantive, she said.

“It was a shell,” she said.

She noted that he listened un-

flinchingly to survivor testimony until his family spoke about what he is losing, such as freedom to pursue his interests or family time.

“Today is the first time I have seen you show any type of emotion,” she said.

Slade said the sentence she handed down was aimed at punishment and deterrence, “to make sure that this never happens again.”

John Castillo, Kendrick’s father, called the defendant’s emotional displays narcissistic. Apologies from the gunman’s parents felt canned, he said. He walked out of court as they testified.

Spurlock, the county sheriff, said people who gave victim impact statements calling the defendant unremorseful and a coward got the message across to Slade.

“That we do want to deter, we want to let everyone know that this is not acceptable at any level, and that the State of Colorado is going to punish people that put harm on our children and our schools,” he said.

DA Kellner vowed to always uphold Kendrick’s memory.

“Today’s sentence from the judge honored that memory and the sacrifice of Kendrick Castillo, and today’s sentence from the judge recognized the profound horror, the terror that was inflicted by this defendant on our community,” he said.

A drawn-out case Brauchler estimated that COVID-19 delayed the trial and sentencing hearing for Erickson’s case by 15 months at least. Brauchler oversaw

procedings before he left office in January of this year, and stayed on as a special deputy district attorney at Kellner’s invitation.

The pandemic caused a painful drawing-out of the older suspect’s case after multiple rescheduled trials, Brauchler said. He called that another testament to the community’s resiliency.

“We did this during COVID. We did this with social distancing and masks,” he said. “We got this thing done.”

Brauchler thanked Kellner for allowing him to stay on. Brauchler’s tenure as DA was bookended by the Aurora theater killings and the STEM School shooting. Finishing the STEM School case was personal after leaving one of the most challenging jobs he’s had, Brauchler said.

“This is it,” Brauchler said. “This will be my last official act as a prosecutor for the 18th Judicial District.”

As is always the case, John Castillo said, the possibility of appeals loom. Defense attorney Julia Stancil said she did not have any comment when reached by email.

He watched as the gunman’s lawyers and family took notes during the sentencing hearing, he said, wondering if that was a precursor to more legal battles. Whatever comes, he and Maria will attend any future hearings as they did throughout the court cases, he said.

“As long as I’m breathing air and I’m upright,” he said.
