Just over two years after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, Suzi McCumber continues to stress the importance of regular screenings.

If McCumber had not gotten the recommended mammogram and treatment, her doctors said there is no way she would have survived more than a year.

McCumber, a Littleton-area resident, has remained positive throughout her treatment process.

In high spirits, she happily reported that after more than a year of chemotherapy and radiation, she has moved on to the final stages of treatment, which is taking a pill for a few years to keep the cancer from coming back.

“I will continue to take this pill and do whatever the doctors tell me to do,” said the 67-year-old. “I just can’t stress enough how important it is for women to continue getting those screenings and tests. Sometimes you just do not know a lump is there. Sometimes you cannot feel it. I did not feel anything. The 3D

Virtual racing series runs a thin line between heaven and hell Golden Hell Week runners’ challenge finished Oct. 1

BY JEREMY JOHNSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Hell is a relative term.

Removing it entirely from any theological context, it generally indicates pain, misery, even anguish.

But on the other hand, it’s sort of a fun word too — mischievous and devious in just the right way. You give it to someone to show you’re ready to fight for your convictions. And nobody ever says, “I had a heaven of a good time” after a particularly raucous event.

After all, one person’s hell can be another person’s heaven. And one’s own personal hell can become downright heavenly after accepting the benefits of a little pain and misery.

That’s how it is for runners. We love this stuff. We live for a little pain and misery. My (very supportive) family thinks I’m nuts. Nonrunning friends think I’m sadistic.

Maybe I’m a little bit of both. But after decades of torturing my body with drugs and alcohol, trail running seems like a better kind of suffering, an addiction with more rewarding consequences.

Running addicts look for reasons to run, and when social media algorithms and a little online word of mouth clued me in on the Golden Hell Week underground “race series,” I couldn’t resist dancing with the devil that is those steep, winding, rocky trails all throughout the beautiful City of Golden.

Now’s a good time to mention that I’m a freelance writer and trail enthusiast with no affiliation to Golden Hell Week. See that’s the thing: nobody’s really affiliated with Golden Hell Week because, according to them, it’s barely even really a thing. It’s like Fight Club, in that everybody seems to know about it, but nobody seems to talk about it much —at least in an official sense. According to the website (GoldenHellWeek.com): “The event is free! Primarily because, in reality, it isn’t an event, a race or really anything but a cool place to post your Strava link.”

That’s the first thing to know

Follow Golden Hell Week on Instagram (@goldenhellweek) or visit www.GoldenHellWeek.com to learn more. about Hell Week (after “Don’t talk about Hell Week”): it was a virtual race long before COVID-19 made virtual races commonplace. Certainly, more socially inclined runners can run with friends. There is no rule against groups. But to the more anti-social among us (that’s me!), a journey through hell is one you go alone, with only the Strava app as your guide.

The next thing to know about Hell Week is how it got its name. Or, that is, how I think it got its name.The idea of running five races in five days certainly is a hellish thought.

But I have to believe it was called Hell Week because, well, it originally took place over Halloween.

The problem with a race series over Halloween is that the weather is unpredictable and anyone who worked 9-to-5 was forced to run in the dark. So it was for me in 2017, when I reached Mountain Toad brewery after dark on a Monday and decided to tackle the longest race at the time, Lookout Mountain, for my inaugural Hell Week run. The cold rarely bothers me, and that evening was no exception.

So, for the first two miles along Clear Creek and across Highway 6 and up to big parking lot, it was wet, but warm enough and manageable. Then, quite suddenly, just past Windy Saddle, it wasn’t. The trail turned to sheer ice. I wasn’t wearing the right gear and was dangerously unprepared. But, eventually, sometimes crawling on all fours, I reached the top — and then made my way back down, more slowly than I’ve ever come down a mountain before or since. It wasn’t fast, but I made it, which just so happens to be a Hell Week motto: “You don’t have to go fast, but you gotta give it everything!” I left it all on that mountaintop that night and learned a valuable lesson about the thin line between heaven and hell.

Since then, Hell Week has been moved to late September — Sept. 27 to Oct. 1 this year — which means (generally) better weather and a little more daylight for us runners who have to log at least a race or two after their day job.

Denver’s Jeremy Johnson navigates a tricky portion of a Golden-area trail. Injuries on COURTESY OF JEREMY JOHNSON such trails can be common.

The third thing to know about Hell Week is that it is quite the journey, both literally and figuratively. While the courses have rerouted a bit over the years to accommodate stewardship, logistics, and more local business, the trails and overall distance remain mostly the same. All five courses (Apex, Lookout Mountain, Mt. Galbraith, North Table Mountain, and South Table Mountain ) at one time started from Mountain Toad Brewery, but Hell Week now includes starting lines from Cannonball, Coda and New Terrain breweries, too.

The race series covers a distance

of just a tad more than a marathon (27-28 miles or so). It takes place from midnight on the last Monday in September until the following Friday at midnight. Five races. Five days. “Your trails, your time,” is another Hell Week motto.

This loose format ensures that no two journeys are ever the same.

Some folks run all five courses in a row ... on Day One ... like some giant ultra-marathon. Some run one a day all week long. You can mix and match: run two races on two days of the week and then cram the SEE RACING, P3

last leg in late Friday. (Again, that’s me!)

That’s another thing to know about Hell Week: there is no right or wrong way to do it. Because for all the preparedness and training in the world, trail running is full of variables. For instance, I never felt as prepared as I did last year, arriving early that Monday at the foot of Mt. Galbraith. I became frustrated shortly into my race after a wrong turn and a subsequent backtrack.

And then, with about two kilometers to go, one of Galbraith’s trademark jagged rocks turned my ankle outside-in. The resulting avulsion fracture resulted in a complete Hell Week DNF (did not finish) and SEE RACING, P28

A N.Y. Court Has Ruled That Sending an Email Can Bind You, Even Without Signing It

The real estate industry runs on electronic signatures nowadays. In our market most contracts are created and signed on CTM eContracts. Buyers and sellers can click on “Select Font Signature” and see their name appear in a script font. Then they click “Save” and click “Accept” to show that they accept that the font signature is theirs. That document is signed.

In the beginning, I was very leery of this technology, insisting that our clients use a stylus or finger to personally sign their name on a touch screen device such as a smartphone. Ultimately I relented, realizing that the closing based on those electronically signed documents does involve a “wet signature” witnessed by a Notary.

Electronic signatures became legal as a result of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) which became law in 1999. It was followed in 2000 by the E-Sign Act, which legalized electronic signatures for interstate and international transactions. The following is excerpted from www.BakerMckenzie.com: UETA provides a framework for states to enact state law concerning the enforceability of e-signatures and the validity of electronic records. Fortyseven states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands have adopted some form of UETA. The only states that have not adopted UETA are New York, Illinois and Washington, but each of these states has enacted legislation similar to UETA to govern how electronic transactions are handled….

UETA and the E-Sign Act provide that: (a) a record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability

solely because it is in electronic form; (b) a contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation; (c) if a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law; and (d) if a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law.

It followed, as a result of this law, that electronic messages (emails) between two parties can constitute a contract if both parties have signed their emails by typing their names. The more detailed the emails (covering terms as well as price) the more likely that a court would deem them enforceable contracts.

A Sept. 28 article on Forbes.com by Joshua Stein carried the headline, Yes, Sending an Email Can Create a Binding Contract. It reported on an appellate court decision in New York State that went further to declare that typing your name on such emails was not necessary, that merely clicking “send” from your email account made the signature “an unnecessary formality.” Here are some key paragraphs from that Forbes article: This case means that pressing “send” on an email is now potentially equivalent to signing a piece of paper containing whatever statements appeared in the email. An actual typed signature is not necessary….

The moral of the story: before sending an email that could be interpreted as committing to some agreement, consider whether that’s what you really want. If not, make it clear in writing that your email isn’t intended to create any form of binding agreement.

Many standard email disclaimers say

Price Reduced on Ranch Home on E. 6th Ave. Parkway Denver has only a few iconic “parkways” — $795,000 divided streets with wide, tree-lined medians used by joggers and dog walkers. The homes along these parkways, including this one at 6235 E. Sixth Avenue Parkway, enjoy large, grassy lots and unique architecture of high quality. You'll like this brick ranch with its Spanish tile roof as is and also as it could be with some updating. It has beautifully maintained hardwood floors and an updated kitchen. The 2-car attached garage faces Leyden Street, away from the traffic of 6th Avenue Parkway. Find lots of interior and exterior photos plus a narrated video tour at www.DenverHome.info, then call your agent or listing agent Chuck Brown at 303-885-7855 to set a showing. Open house this Sunday, 11 am to 1 pm.

exactly that, automatically, on every message that goes out. Careful email senders should not rely on those disclaimers to protect them. If an email sounds like a serious and meaningful agreement to material terms, the courts just might decide that’s what it is, and enforce it accordingly.

Although that was the decision of a New York State appellate court decision, we should probably consider that Colorado courts or the U.S. Supreme Court might issue a similar opinion.

So, how does this affect buyers and sellers of real estate? If you’re represented by a real estate agent, you’re not sending emails directly to the other party

in a transaction, but if you are unrepresented and you exchange emails with a prospective buyer or investor, you could easily find yourself negotiating and agreeing to terms and price before going to the step of creating a contract with other important terms and deadlines. Be careful! At the very least when discussing price and terms with a prospective buyer or seller, always add that “this is not a contract, which still needs to be created separately and signed by both parties.”

In the posting of this column on our blog, www.GoldenREblog.com, I will have links to the above mentioned article and website.

Remembering Brethren Fast Music community fondly recall Don Messina, Mik Messina and Gordon Beesley

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For those who were around the Denver music scene in the ‘90s, Brethren Fast needs no introduction. The purveyors of “electrified hillbilly hot-rod funk” charmed audiences and contemporaries alike with their good looks, groovy riffs and racing team outfits for over a decade, during which they rose to prominence as one of — if not the — most visible bands in Colorado.

During their peak in the late ‘90s — which included sponsorships from Harley Davidson and Budweiser, along with gigs playing Broncos and Avalanche games — the band consisted of brothers Don “Dynamite” Messina on vocals and guitar, Mik “The Stick” Messina on bass and Gordon Beesley on drums.

Tragically, all three of the Brethren Fast members met untimely deaths. Don died in a 2015 car accident on Lookout Mountain, Mik died of organ failure in July and Beesley — who became an Arvada Police officer in 2002 — was killed in the Olde Town Arvada shooting in June.

Though their time was unduly cut short, their far-reaching influence on the local music culture continues to be felt today.

Their albums Sideburns from Hell, What in the Hell?, 500 Laps of Beer Drinkin’ Fun and Diesel Drivin Buddies earned them placements on MTV, Fox Sports and the Discovery Channel, and their raucous live shows saw them playing nearly 200 gigs a year at during their peak.

The band started in 1995 after the dissolution of Don’s project Elik Pink. By that time, Mik and Don had spent a few years playing in different projects and decided they wanted to join forces.

“The brothers played in a bunch of different bands separately and then in the mid-90’s locked in on playing together and kind of rotated through drummers,” said G. Brown, who was one of the Denver Post’s music reporters at the time. “But when they got Gordon in there, that’s when they had their heyday, if you will.”

While the trio started out with Ordy Garrison behind the kit, Beesley soon took the sticks and continued playing with the group until other responsibilities demanded more of his attention. He was replaced by Nate “Dawg” Nicholsen for the latter years of the group’s run.

Brown says Beesley was integral to the group’s sound.

“You need a guy to lock it down in the back,” said Brown. “And Gordon was able to do that for them. He was their most notable drummer — that was kind of a rotating position. I think they had a couple of guys play before and after, but Gordon had the longest stint.”

Those who knew the Brethren Fast guys recall them as kindhearted, approachable people who loved to have a good time.

Wendy Clark played hundreds of shows alongside Brethren Fast with her band Tequila Mockingbird, and says the band always made them-

selves available and kindly offered tips.

“They were really sweet, good guys,” said Clark. “They were definitely rock stars. If you’re a different band, they’re just regular guys. Mik especially — all the girls had a crush on him. Gordon was, I think, the nicest drummer I’ve ever met. They were sweet, approachable guys.

“They gave us a lot of different advice,” Clark continued. “It’s simple stuff sometimes, like `walk towards the stage when you have a solo’ and `walk backwards when you’re letting someone else have the stage.’

Just good advice.”

James Elias fronted Furious George and the Monster Groove out of Arvada and played dozens of shows with Brethren Fast. Elias recalls the trio as scene builders who preferred to build community rather than be competitive with other bands.

“Brethren, we had known them and had done some small shows with them, and they were great,” said Elias. “They were good guys… they got us into some rooms. They got big and we were playing the Bluebird and the Gothic and all the other theatres in town — well heck, there was no other band we really wanted to share those bills with than Brethren Fast.

“We just had a great time together,” Elias continued. “They were scene builders. They were out to build; they weren’t out to compete with other bands or musicians.

That’s what was so great. and that was a lesson I learned from them early, that that was a better position to be in, to be a scene builder and there was no competition between a bunch of small-town bands. The better we all did, the better we all did.

And that was a real strong movement for all the bands in the 90’s in Denver.”

“Fast cars, fast motorcycles and fast women” The Brethren Fast boys were not just known for their hospitality and scene building efforts. The trio, who grew up in Golden, were known motorcycle enthusiasts, a passion which culminated in a sponsorship with Harley-Davidson, yielding custom-made Brethren Fast racing team jumpsuits.

They were known to occasionally ride their bikes onto the stage to start gigs and would sometimes perform in their racing suits. Motorcycles were a core facet not just of the band’s iconography, but of the member’s lives; Mik and Don were known to ride Harleys and Gordon would later become a motorcycle officer with APD. Jon Solomon of Westword wrote in a 2015 obituary for Don that the group liked “fast cars, fast motorcycles and fast women,” an attribution that is consistent with the subject matter of their songs.

Gina Burg, who was a fan and friend of the band, said that their style choices inspired others to follow suit, despite the presumed incongruity of biker style with 90’s fashion trends.

“All of a sudden they were geared out, and then of course, everybody wants to copy their style and then all the girls started to wear outfits with pinstripes down the pants and everything,” said Burg. “And I’m like — ‘this is the 90’s right now.’”

Jeff Gray was Brethren Fast’s photographer during the band’s peak, and said that when Beesley initially joined the group, he didn’t quite fit

“The first photoshoot that we went to go do, Gordon is like two feet taller than Mik and Don,” said Gray. “So, I showed up and Mik and Don are in their usual gear — like chrome, jumpsuits, done up to the hill — and for the first photoshoot the best Gordon could do is a Sunday suit, a business suit. So, we tried to figure out how the hell we were going to make this mesh for the first photoshoot together.

before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

District and school accountability for performance. I would work with the new administration to ensure everyone involved, district, administrators, teachers and students were actively working towards increasing test results.

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

Keeping students in school. In person learning is essential for the success of students.

Theresa Shelton Profession: Licensed CPA with 35 years of experience in finance and operations; member of Colorado State University’s Accounting Advisory Board.

Residence: Golden Campaign Website: www.sheltonforjeffcostudents.com

Why are you seeking this office?

As the mom of three Jeffco students a decade apart, I know great things happen in Jeffco daily.

However, over the last six years, we have declining academic achievement, increased spending (30%) and declining enrollment (6000 fewer students). I’m an experienced board member with 35 years of financial y and operating expertise. Addressing these challenges requires bold leadership, collaborative problem solving, and a track record of success; I have the qualifications necessary to do this work.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Jeffco will spend $1.4 billion this year. I have analyzed and allocated multi-billion-dollar budgets and will work to ensure Jeffco spends money supporting student success.

I have a son that graduated and two girls in Jeffco middle school. I know how good it can be and I know it is critical to see improvement now.

Our children have attended our neighborhood schools and public schools of choice; I support parents and choice.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

First, ensuring academic

achievement improves. Nearly 50% of Jeffco’s third graders were not reading at grade level before COVID and it has only worsened. Next, increasing fiscal accountability; with a $1.4 billion Theresa Shelton GARRETT W. ELLWOOD dollar budget we deserve to know which programs are working and which should be stopped. We must spend wisely. And last, we must have a board that prioritizes listening to all members of the community, not just those with ties to special interests.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

First and foremost, the board must admit academic achievement is a problem, and then prioritize the systems, structures, and processes for improving it.

That requires identifying and replicating things that are working, but ending spending on those that don’t, or have only marginal benefit. We must also allocate the millions in additional federal funds thoughtfully and intentionally using targeted interventions to ensure each Jeffco student has access to the quality education they deserve.

SEE SHELTON, P8

In the long term, we need to address funding and the state budget by demand that state-level school funding comply with state constitutional requirements.

Profession: Customer Service/ Retired Teacher Residence: Lakewood Campaign Website: Paulareedforjeffcoschools.com Why are you seeking this office?

Over the years, I have watched decisions made by legislators and school boards that have eroded the trust of our families, communities, and employees.

I am running to make sure that there is the voice of an educator on the school board, one who understands how decisions made in the boardroom impact the classroom. I will place the interests of children at the head of every decision I make.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I have experience as an actual educator. I taught high school, elementary school, was a dean of students, and served on a committee for a major remodel of Columbine in 1994. As a teacher, I had everything from high-achieving students to those at risk of dropping out and everything in between. I understand the practicalities of the classroom.

What are your top three priorities if elected?

First, we must keep our children safely in school, in person, without interruption. This is best accomplished by working in tandem with Jefferson County Public Health.

Another priority is attracting and retaining great educators and support professionals. We simply must invest in quality people and keep them.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

The best use of standardized test scores is as indicators of places where more support is needed. The best way to raise test scores is to shore up areas that indicate a need for improvement, whether that is paying greater attention to particular demographic cohorts, improving curriculum, or reallocating district resources.

Paula Reed

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

The number one priority is to keep kids in school, in person, safely and without interruption. Statewide evidence shows fewer COVID cases in districts that mandate masks, and so I see this mandate staying in place until a vaccine is available to all school-age children.

At that point, we should work with Jefferson County Public Health to reassess the best way to keep kids in school safely.

Student test score results were flagging across the district, even before COVID-19. What is the number one way you’d seek to improve student achievement?

It is critical that we provide resources equitably across the district.

We need to ensure our classrooms and teachers have what they need to help kids succeed academically, but

we also need to look at how we can address the social and economic factors that families face which impact student outcomes. When kids do not have access to food or adequate housing, they cannot come to school ready to learn, which impacts their overall achievement.

What do you believe is the most important thing to keep in mind when making Covid-related decisions?

Our top priority should be to keep kids in school, safely with uninterrupted learning time. To keep our kids, teachers, and staff safe we should continue to follow public health guidance, provide the air quality and sanitization measures required, and continue to encourage ways to build social support and connection among our school community to renormalize in-person learning and encourage healthy ways to be and stay connected.

Amendment 78 could change oversight of state spending Measure is one of 3 on Colorado’s statewide ballot

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

A measure on Colorado’s fall ballot asks voters to change the way the state approves spending money from the federal government, legal settlements and other non-state sources.

Amendment 78 would require the Colorado General Assembly to determine how the state uses what it defines as “custodial money,” funding the state receives from outside sources for specific purposes, like federal grant money and private donations.

Supporters say the measure would bring greater accountability and transparency to state spending. But opponents see it as little more than a partisan ploy meant to hobble a Democratic administration.

There’s a catch, though: A pending lawsuit challenging the measure’s placement on the ballot seeks to invalidate any votes cast for or against the measure, effectively blocking it altogether.

The General Assembly currently appropriates state tax revenue through the budget process. But dollars that come in from outside of the state government are not typically subject to the legislative

appropriation process.

For example, Colorado received nearly $1.7 billion last year in federal relief money through the CARES Act that the Polis administration spent according to the governor’s executive order and without legislative approval.

Amendment 78 would change the Colorado constitution and state law. It would require lawmakers to determine how the state spends that custodial money through a process that includes a public hearing with opportunities for the public to comment. All custodial funds would go into a centralized account, with interest from that account flowing into the state’s general fund.

That could affect not just federal emergency relief funds and other federal support, but money from legal settlements, funding for transportation projects that are currently allocated by an independent commission and private gifts and donations, like those often collected by public colleges and universities.

According to nonpartisan legislative staff, the legislature and state agencies would be forced to bring on new employees to deal with the new requirements to submit proposed spending of custodial money, amounting to at least $1 million in predicted costs for new staff. And while the purpose of

spending may not change, lawmakers could choose to pay for different programs to achieve a required purpose.

Michael Fields, who brought the measure, heads up a conservative organization called Colorado Rising Action, considered a dark-money group because it doesn’t reveal its donors.

Fields previously served as the state director of Americans for Prosperity Colorado, associated with the national group, Americans for Prosperity, founded by wealthy business magnate brothers David and Charles Koch.

Fields said he wants to increase public oversight by having all state spending go through the legislative process with a public hearing.

He cited various examples of the kind of spending he thinks should be subject to legislative scrutiny.

The Attorney General’s Office takes in money from legal settlements, settlements with drug companies related to the opioid crisis being a recent case. Fields noted that though settlement money typically comes with strings attached on how to spend it, interest from that money often has fewer restrictions.

Fields also pointed to the practice of the governor’s office taking large contributions from private donors to pay for key staff.

And Fields referenced all the federal money flowing into the state

for pandemic relief as the type of spending for which he wants to see more oversight.

Fields said when it comes to interest accumulating from custodial money, the measure gives state lawmakers the chance “decide what priorities make sense, education or roads or whatever else.”

Fields predicted that should the measure pass, state agencies that have control over these types of custodial funds are “not going to be happy that, what we call the slush funds, are no longer going to be slush funds, they’re going to be a part of the normal process of budgeting.”

The Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on the ballot measure because of the pending litigation.

The Polis administration may be most affected by the measure as it controls state agencies that receive large sums of federal funding.

The governor’s office declined to comment on the measure or how it would affect state agencies.

Scott Wasserman, who leads the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center, told The Sun that besides the legal arguments for why the Secretary of State’s Office shouldn’t have OK’d the question for voters on this year’s ballot, he has grave concerns about the policy implications.

“If it passes, I think it’s going to be a serious disruption to the way the state currently operates,” he said.

He predicted the measure would drastically increase lawmakers’ workload by forcing them to appropriate a large assortment of different types of federal funding as well as funding from other sources that currently don’t require legislative approval.

Democratic state Sen. Chris Hansen of Denver sits on the Joint Budget Committee. He said he thinks the measure is unnecessary, noting that the JBC already reviews custodial fund spending each year.

And he echoed Wasserman’s concern that the measure would require a lot more work from lawmakers as such custodial funds can come in throughout the year, not just when the General Assembly is in session.

“The JBC and the legislature would have to come in and be passing appropriations bills, pretty much all year round if this goes forward,” he said. “So I think there’s a lot of unintended consequences.”

But beyond all of that, Wasserman fears the changes could be used to “create opportunities for political theater,” setting up legislative showdowns over hot-button

topics like fetal-tissue research.

“This essentially allows one legislative chamber to veto federal dollars that have already come here from the federal government,” he said.

He also expressed concern that the measure would mean emergency funding from the federal government, such as pandemic relief, could get tied up in legislative red-tape that causes delays. And he said those delays could similarly tie up President Joe Biden’s new spending plan that still needs congressional approval.

Hansen also raised that concern.

“It’s going to really slow down the process of getting your emergency funds out the door, and that could have dire consequences,” Hansen said.

Wasserman also highlighted the opaque nature of the organization backing the measure.

“This isn’t something that came up from the grassroots,” he said “This is something that has been financed and put on the ballot for the express purpose of disrupting government and creating more uncertainty.”

He surmised that it’s just a political game “to use this issue to attack the governor.”

Students encouraged to enter radon awareness contests STAFF REPORT

Colorado students are invited to participate in the 2022 National Radon Video and Poster contests.

The contests take place annually through a partnership between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The contests provide students with an opportunity to creatively raise awareness about the im-

portance of radon testing, and to inform people of the dangers of radon in their homes, states a news release.

Students between the ages of 9 and 14 are eligible to participate in the poster contest, and the video contest is open to students between the ages of 14 and 18. Students must be enrolled in a public, private, territorial, tribal, Department of Defense or home school; or be a member of a sponsoring club such as scouting, art, computer, science or 4-H. Contestants have the option

Judging criteria for the poster contest includes content accuracy, visual communication of topic, reproducibility and originality. Video entries must also be original, and created as a 30-second public service announcement/commercial-style video that encourages residents to test and/or mitigate their homes for radon.

National Federation of Press Women (NFPW), which was established in 1938.

In recruiting CPW members, on the eve of the U.S. entry into World War II, NFPW founder Bertha Bless said, “Press women have the opportunity of the century to create a thinking America that can lead the world out of its present chaos. We must save not only the right of the press but also Americans. Grassroots journalism represented in small town and country newspapers doesn’t know its own power. Press women have a weapon to shape the peace of destruction of the world.”

Today, CPW is a diverse organization of professional communicators, both men and women, who are reporters, editors, broadcasters, public relations practitioners, publishers, advertising and marketing practitioners, college communications educators, graphic designers, photographers, freelance writers and others.

“Looking back 80 years at the state of Colorado Press Women, what impresses me most is

that 13 of our charter members were publishers and/or editors or their small-town newspapers — strong women,” said CPW President Sandy Nance. “It’s no wonder that equality for women has been as basic an expectation of our membership as our support for the First Amendment.”

Early on, CPW focused on establishing rural libraries. Today, Nance said CPW works to help people sort fact from fiction on the Internet.

With the emergence of teleconferencing and Zoom, Nance said CPW will focus on increasing membership throughout all of Colorado and not just newspapers along the Front Range.

Today, Colorado Community Media continues to grow, focusing on the importance of community journalism. The media company currently owns 24 community newspapers in Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties, including this one.

CANCER

Last year, Suzi McCumber was prepped for radiation treatment by Vicki Slat-Vasquez, clinical nurse at the Infusion Center at UCHealth Cancer Center-Highlands Ranch. McCumber went through treatment for more than a year. Now, she has successfully moved on to taking a pill to keep breast cancer at bay.

mammogram found a mass all the way back in my pectoral muscle.”

Last year, while McCumber was receiving treatment, Dr. Radhika Acharya-Leon, section chief for medical oncology at UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital, said had McCumber not been persistent in finding a place to do the biopsy during a pandemic and move treatment forward, given the aggressive form of breast cancer she had, she would not have survived long.

Since 2020, Acharya-Leon said doctors have become increasingly concerned with how women were putting off mammograms and recommended pap smears due to fear of catching COVID. With the nation coming through the second COVID wave caused by the delta variant, HealthOne Dr. Laura Hafertepen said the medical community’s concerns from last year are carrying over.

Because of the hesitancy to get screenings, Hafertepen said, when women are getting the original diagnosis the disease has already progressed to stages 2 or 3. With regular screenings, she said, doctors can catch cancer at stage 1 or zero.

When breast cancer is caught in an early stage, Hafertepen said the prognosis and the treatment is a lot better.

Hafertepen said women are slowly getting back on track with mammograms and pap smears, but the pandemic has caused a backlog.

“We are still trying to make up for a significant dip from last year,” she said.

Hafertepen said it is not just a problem doctors along the Front Range are seeing — the problem is nationwide.

The Prevent Cancer Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, released the results of a survey in August where 2,003 women between the ages of 21 and 60 were surveyed.

According to the results, 90% of the women surveyed said when pandemic restrictions were lifted, they engaged in normal activities, such as visiting family and friends, dining out and shopping. Only 48% of women visited their doctors’ offices.

Hafertepen said besides the fear of COVID creating a hesitancy to get regular screenings, women traditionally tend to take care of everyone else and ignore their own needs.

Hafertepen said it is not uncommon for a woman to ignore a strange lump or discharge, which are both breast cancer symptoms that should be checked out immediately.

“When they finally come in about a mass or continued discharge, the results are worse,” she said. “If we had seen them six months ago when they first noticed the symptoms, the prognosis is much better.”

Hafertepen said a lot of women do not realize that they do not even need a doctor’s referral to get a regular screening mammogram every year. The only time a referral is required is if there are symptoms present.

“If you feel something or notice something, go get it checked out.

Call your doctor immediately,” Hafertepen said.

According to the American Cancer Society, women should start getting annual mammograms at age

That first breast exam can cause a lot of stress and anxiety, Hafertepen said.

“The anxiety is understandable, but you can truly get over that anxiety by just getting it done,” she said.

“If you do not do it, that anxiety will stay there lingering in the back of your mind.”

VOICES Kudos to Rockies alum Larry Walker

“W

hat a coincidence, you’re my favorite fan.”

When the Colorado Rockies conducted a series of fan events around GUEST Colorado before they went to Spring COLUMNIST Training in 1996, my then six-year old daughter Alex handed her baseball to Larry Walker for an autograph. As he signed her ball, she told him that he was her favorite player. Without Greg Romberg missing a beat, he smiled, handed the ball back to her and convinced her that she was his favorite fan.

lapel pin on his coat, joined the hall earlier this month.

We were at Coors Field Saturday when the Rockies retired his number and honored his Hall of Fame selection. When his walk-up song (Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne) was played, we were part of almost 50,000 fans who got to sing along “Aye, aye, aye” for Larry one last time and when he told the crowd, “I don’t say ‘I have a plaque in Cooperstown, I say we have a plaque in Cooperstown,’” we were reminded of the special attributes of a man who locked in a lifetime love of baseball for a little girl he told that she was his favorite fan 25 years ago.

At a time when Americans are so divided over so many things, sports provide us an important way to come together in support of a com-

That cemented our family’s love of Walker. We’d already loved to taunt foolish base runners who unsuccessfully tried to take an extra base on balls hit to right field by yelling, “What made you think you could run on that arm?” and to cheer on Walker for his remarkable assets at every phase of the game.

When we moved to Evergreen, where he also lived in 1997, we were thrilled by his MVP season what included a .366 batting average, 49 home runs, 46 doubles, 33 stolen bases and 130 RBIs. As was the case with most Rockies’ fans, we were proud when he was named to the Hall of Fame last year and disappointed when his induction ceremony was delayed a year because of the pandemic. We watched with joy as he, with a Sponge Bob Square Pants

mon goal. During the Rockies’ 29 years in Colorado, there have been more disappointments than celebrations as they’ve made the play-offs just five times and won a single National League pennant. Despite that, we collectively share many happy memories and continue to “root, root, root for the home team” and dream of that magical season when we will finally win it all.

Congratulations to Larry Walker for his well-deserved selection as the first ever Colorado Rockies player to join the Hall of Fame. Now that that barrier has been broken, we can join together in support of the next local hero to earn the same honor.

Greg Romberg is president of Romberg and Associates. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

elieve it or not, it’s that time of year again! The 2021 Coordinated Election has begun, with mail ballots on the way to active, registered voters and 24-hour drop boxes now open.

GUEST In the interest of COLUMNIST helping our voters continue their recent record-setting turnouts, here is the who, what, when, and where (plus a bit more) for this November’s election.

George Stern

Who and what are on the ballot?

On every Jefferson County ballot this year are three statewide ballot measures and three school board races. Then, depending on where you live, you might also have local city council races and municipal or special district ballot initiatives. If your ballot hasn’t arrived yet, you can find an all-inclusive sample ballot, as well as the state Blue Book and local TABOR notices, by visiting VoteJeffco.com and clicking on “Election Information.”

When is the election?

Here are the key dates: · Friday, October 8: We mailed ballots to all active, registered voters in Jefferson County. · Monday, October 18: If you haven’t yet received a ballot by this date, contact our Elections team by calling 303-271-8111.

As with drop boxes, those locations are listed in your ballot mailing packet or online at VoteJeffco.com.

Where can I vote?

Use any of Colorado’s normal three ways to vote: · Drop Box: More than 80% of Jeffco voters choose to use a drop box, given that the boxes are secure, accessible, and available 24/7.

My husband is a professional musician and especially appreciates your coverage of school bands and musicians!

It is so nice to get more news of the schools than just the sports ... not every reader is into jockism and certainly the students are not all into sports!

take election security seriously every time. We have already had a bipartisan team test our election equipment to ensure it will count votes accurately. Likewise, as we always do, we will have a bipartisan team audit those machines after the fact using ballots from this election. These processes are additional checks on top of what you will see on our tour, where bipartisan election judges on 24/7 surveillance and under the observation of election watchers perform each step of ballot processing, including verifying the signature on every ballot envelope before counting.

If you have additional questions about voting or the process, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure the accessibility and security of our elections. And in turn, we’re counting on you to exercise your right to vote, so Jeffco can continue setting the bar for turnout, no matter who or what is on the ballot.

Late autumn can still delight anglers and aspen-watchers

T

e o

here are so OUTDOOR many pluses awaiting the LIVING outdoors person during the fall Colorado landscape change of scene.

None, however, equals the mystic, constant color change occurring among the striking Ron Hellbusch aspen groves and the nightly cooling of the small high mountain streams.

The evolution of the aspen tree

colors brings a wave of observers to the mountains. Many are those who chase trout who experience an opportunity missed.

Small streams suggest brook trout, that frisky and colorful small stream trout that becomes more active in the fall. The same period the sky glows with the gold, rust, orange and mixture of brilliant colors of the aspen leave. The gradual process of both natural occurrences offers observers a chance to enjoy both events if we miss the early or late changes.

Let me suggest while you may feel you have missed the prime period

Colorado Color change. Maybe you have not?

The water-rich tributaries of the upper South Platte River basin crisscross South Park providing fishing and public access worth seeking out. This expanding valley from Kenosha Pass northwest to Salt Creek Pass above Buena Vista is one of the closer viewing and small-stream angling destinations where visitors will see colors still in transition for just a bit longer and ample small stream fishing in the cooling waters.

Jefferson, Michigan, Terral, Middle Fork and South Fork streams

all provide cooling snow melt brook trout water. US 285 will find South Park in less than a two-hour drive from the Front Range. Division of Parks and Wildlife fishing maps and agency brochures will guide anglers to state campgrounds and parking access. Park County Road maps will open aspen viewing consider within the top 10 view regions in Colorado.

Make plans soon for a drive to South Park. The sights and the streams are calling.

LIFE Horse culture still kicking in modern West

Growth changes state but love of horses is forever

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n 1950, metro Denver’s population hovered right around 500,000. Farms and horse properties could still be found throughout the close-in suburbs.

By the mid-1970s, the population had more than doubled and subdivisions had eaten away at sprawling open spaces. But it was still common to see leisure riders on horses, trotting down trails along Morrison Road, Alameda Avenue or Dry Creek Road.

Today, the metro population is closing in on 3 million fast. Development and an explosion in residents have made things feel more like a big city than the cowtown vibes of yesteryear. But if you look closely, you’ll still find horse culture holds a special place in the heart of folks throughout the metro area.

It’s a warm, late September morning as Joe McClellan makes his way toward his first job of the day.

With an unbelievable view of the Flatirons as his backdrop, McClellan gets down to business. His dual degrees in architectural and civil engineering will be put to good use at the job site, but not to design or build a house. He’s there to shoe some horses.

McClellan is a certified Natural Balance Farrier. More than a decade ago, he traded in his engineering career for a life working with the animals he loves. He said he was always fascinated by horses and a 2009 Natural Balance Hoof Trimming course set him on the path he’d been looking for. Applying engineering principals to every hoof he shoes, McClellan found a way to combine two things he loves into the freedom to work for himself.

Shoeing horses from Fort Collins to Castle Rock and everywhere in between, and owning two horses of his own, McClellan spends his life immersed in local horse culture.

Karen Richard owns the property with the fantastic view. She moved here in 1984 to be able to keep her

horses on her own land. She’s owned horses for close to 50 years. She says in those days she would drive more than 100 miles to work and back each day to make her dream a reality. She didn’t come from a horseowning family.

“I was just an anomaly, I guess,” she says.

Richard’s horses, Tilly and Summer, are two of McClellan’s three clients at this stop. The other is a 23-year-old palomino Richard boards, named Sweetie. Sweetie’s owner, Bob, says she’s taught him a lot.

“Like how to be a human,” he says.

Bob leased Sweetie, taking care of her for a few years before her previous owner agreed to let him buy her.

“I don’t refer to myself as her owner,” he says. “I refer to myself as her staff.”

Over the years, Richard has done both Western and English riding styles, competing in dressage, a form of horse riding performed in exhibition, with Tilly, a liver-chestnut thoroughbred. Now, Richard is content to just ride on her own property for fun. She says horses have given her more than she can express throughout her life. More than just fulfillment, she says horses have given her the gift of being present in her surroundings. Beyond their beauty, she thinks horses have a special place in this world. McClellan agrees.

“Human beings couldn’t be where they are today without horses supporting us,” he says. “They transported us. They fought battles with us. They farmed with us. They’re amazing animals and we actually don’t deserve them. They deserve for us to treat them better.”

Sixty miles southeast, Heidi Knab is chatting with customers at the Rusty Spur Saddle Shop in Parker.

Her business card lists her position as “Head Cowgirl.” She also happens to be the owner of the tack/gear shop she founded after two decades teaching school.

A lifelong rider, Knab says one day she was driving all over town looking for a new saddle. Her inability to find what she was looking for gave her the idea to start the business.

Now, more than three years later, she says things are good and her business is continuing to grow.

“The timing was right for me to change careers and open the business,” she says. “We started off with 30 saddles and now we sometimes have up to 200.”

The Arvada Center goes to the dogs

COMING ATTRACTIONS

ost of us had more than a little help getting through the bleakest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic and for many that help came in the form of our canine friends. They’re not called man’s best friend for nothing.

But what do dogs really think of us? And how do they help us so much?

These are just a couple of questions that are investigated in A.R. Gurney’s delightful play “Sylvia,” which is part of the Arvada Center’s return to live theater and of the first production in the 2021-2022 Black Box Theatre schedule.

“It feels really good to be there, to gather with people again. It’s a special thing to

gather with strangers and find a way to laugh together,” said Jessica Robblee, who plays the titular labradoodle. “We desperately need an audience for a play like this to come alive. The audience is the water a comedy plant needs to grow.”

“Sylvia” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, through Sunday, Nov. 7. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Directed by Lynne Collins, the show follows New York married couple Kate and Greg (Kate Gleason and Gareth Saxe) as their relationship and lives get thrown for a loop when Greg finds Sylvia in Central

Park. What ensues is kind of comedic triangle of warring needs and wants between the two people and their dog.

“All the quirks that you notice in your dog we take time to celebrate. In the rehearsal room, everyone was always talking about what their dogs do,” Robblee said.

“One of the delights of the play is the audience learning how the communication between the characters works.”

The show is as much a tribute to the importance of connection as it is to the human-dog relationship. That’s something that gets emphasized every time audiences SEE READER, P17

lease with no prior business experience, but says she always knew it was going to work. She also has 1,500 consigners helping her stock merchandise and a deal with Colorado Saddlery to carry their new saddles. The store also has everything a rider could need for English and Western tack, clothing, boots, blankets, trailer supplies, grooming products and more.

According to Knab, Douglas county ranks second in the nation for horse ownership per capita.

“It’s huge, for horses,” she says. “I would have thought it would be Kentucky or something like that, but Douglas county is way up there.”

Despite her parents not being horse people, Knab says she and her sister started doing barrel races at local shows and a ton of trail riding when she was a kid.

“Horses are enchanting animals.

I bought my first horse with babysitting money when I was 11 — of course, I also had to take out a loan from my parents,” she says. “My sister got me into it. She was really horse crazy.”

Now, as she gets ready to enter her fourth year as a business owner, Knab says word of mouth is still her primary form of engaging new customers. She also employs staff mem-

The Arvada Center is working to ensure that keeps safely happening by requiring all patrons age 12 and older to be fully vaccinated and show proof of vaccination before attending. If you are unable to be vaccinated, you must provide a negative COVID-19 test to attend. And all visitors must wear a mask while at the center.

That way we can all keep connecting together.

“The show is a beautiful ode to dogs and admitting that it’s not always easy. Like any relationship it comes with both complexity and comedy,” Robblee said. “It’s such a human play, such a soulful play.”

bers who have different expertise in riding styles, to appeal to Douglas county’s broad customer base.

Guidance from other women in the tack industry was invaluable when she started out. But that didn’t surprise her. She thinks horse people she’s met are some of the most loyal, appreciative, kind individuals around.

And that loyalty goes both ways.

Relationships and customer service are what she says make the whole thing tick.

Old adages about not mixing business with pleasure notwithstanding, Knab says opening the store actually feeds her passion for riding.

She says she’s learned a ton from customers and hopes she’s paying that knowledge forward as well.

clinics, an obstacle challenge series and a lot of horse camping.

Carol Perry is a native Texan who’s called Douglas county home since the ‘80s. She’s been a horse person her whole life. But she’s retiring from the hobby and recently she’s been selling off gear through Knab’s store.

Her stable of horses has gone from eight down to one — a Swedish warmblood grand prix dressage horse that is 26 years old.

Perry says retiring from the horse world has been an incredibly difficult decision. At her age, she says she wants to simplify her life, but the challenges that ever-increasing population and development have created for riders have hastened her departure.

She says resources for horse people are becoming more restrictive each year and the people passing legislation aren’t paying enough attention to the billion-dollar equine industry here. But it’s also increasingly difficult to compete for trail space with mountain bikers — even in places like The Pines and Dawson Butte that were created to include horses.

If you’re a lifelong horse person, or just thinking about maybe getting started, Knab says her shop is a nexus — a place people can come to get information and find their people. She holds community events once per quarter and welcomes everyone with a passion for horses to attend.

n the “things are finally getting back to normal” category I want to turn the spotlight on an event that was a staple of this AVENUE column for years FLASHES but has been on hold for a while.

It’s the season opener for the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra. It’s going to be happening on Sunday, October 17 at the Green Center John Akal on the Colorado School of Mines campus.

Due to COVID-19 they have been unable to do any full orchestra concerts in an auditorium for over a year, so last season was completely canceled. But, they are back this season.

The concert will feature a rather unusual guest artist. Not because the guy is strange but rather the instrument he plays is one you don’t see in conjunction with a symphony orchestra in the U.S. very often.

His name is Stas Venglevski and he plays a Russian bayan accordion. Now, this isn’t your typical accordion with basically a piano keyboard on one side and buttons on the other. A bayan accordion is a chromatic instrument with just buttons on both sides. They are a lot more common in Europe than they are around here. And Stas is considered a virtuoso on this instrument.

He will be performing Anthony Galla-Rini’s Concerto No.2 for Accordion, and he was the artist that preformed it for it’s world pre-

miere when it was first composed.

This is a rare opportunity to see an artist of this caliber performing on this instrument here in the U.S. The program will also have the JSO performing sort of a double header with two pieces by Antonin Dvorák. They will be opening the concert with his Carnival Overture and closing it with his Symphony No. 9, better known as the New World Symphony. The concert will be conducted by Dr. William Morse.

The program starts at 3 p.m. with the doors opening at 1:45 p.m.

This is one performance that you will want to arrive plenty early for because they have some safety protocols in place that you must adhere to. These are rather extensive so I am going to include them here as written on their website.

Please read all of them so there is no confusion or disappointment if you missed one of these and are turned away.

“All persons entering JSO concert venues are required to wear facial coverings at all times unless actively consuming beverages available at the concert venue. All persons age 12 or older attending JSO indoor concerts must be fully vaccinated by the date of performance and provide proof of vaccination. “Full vaccination” means the performance date must be at least 14 days after the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, or at least 14 days after a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.

At this time, we are not able to admit children under the age of 12 or others unable to attain vaccinated status and/or obtain proof

of vaccination. Vaccination status will be verified at the door prior to allowing entry to the main concert venue.

A photocopy of your vaccination card or a picture of it on your smart phone will be sufficient. If you have a fever, are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or have been recently exposed to someone with COVID-19, please stay home.”

Now, I don’t usually dive into political or controversial issues in this column, but I am going to make an exception in this case because I know how difficult it has been for them to just be able to have a season. Although the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra is a nonprofit organization, they are also a private business that is entitled to set its own policies, just like any restaurant or store.

They have 75+ musicians with varying ages and comfort levels as well as an entire staff to protect.

So, please respect their decisions as to what their protocols need to be. They aren’t doing this because it’s fun or easy. It’s a major pain in the neck for them to have to deal with, but it gets them all back on a stage. So, don’t be a mask-hole, OK? For more information and to order tickets go to www.jeffsymphony.org or call them at (303) 278-4237.

Clark said that the Denver music scene has changed drastically in their absence, shifting more to an every-person-for-themselves climate.

“I’d say it’s gotten a little more saturated,” said Clark. “I would say everybody’s in a band, it seems like. And a lot of bands aren’t as committed to each other, in my opinion, as they used to be. (Tequila Mockingbird) had a lineup for 12 years that stayed together.

“Everybody was friends and we all knew what band we were all in, rather than them being in seven different bands,” Clark continued.

“It seemed like it was more of a family. I feel like there was a lot of competition, but in the right way. we were all competitive, but we were all family.”

Gray said that one of his last conversations with Beesley involved the two commiserating over teaching their kids about boomboxes.

“Maybe 6 months ago, I had posted a picture of my daughter with an 80’s boombox,” said Gray.

“And Gordon called me up and said that he was explaining to his boys what a boombox was. And we just talked about philosophy, talked about the funness of teaching your kids what an 80s boombox is.”

Gordon in the back because he was so much taller, and we went to a bridge that is right by the downtown Denver skatepark now, and we did some shots down there in a field right there kind of goofing around,” Gray continued. “I think we got some Elvis glasses on him to have him blend in a little bit more. Gordon just always had a smile on his face. they all did, our photoshoots were super fun. lots of joking around, lots of brainstorming.”

At another photoshoot, Gray recalled the trio trying — and failing — to maintain a serious demeanor at the Colorado Raceway.

“We went to an old broken down early 40’s Ford that was sitting in the back like junk,” said Gray. “I wanted to do a serious shot because most everything we did was goofing around. I wanted to do one where they were mean mugging like tough guys, which wasn’t in any of their personalities at all.

“And Don and Mik kind of serious-uped for me, and then Gordon, the most serious he could get was sitting there grinning,” Gray continued. “But I think he was so

“Everybody loved them” Burg recalled a time when Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was in town and started a jam session with Brethren Fast and other local musicians.

“There was one time around Thanksgiving where everybody’s in town and they were playing the night before Thanksgiving, that huge drinking night,” said Burg, “and the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers was dating someone that lived in Colorado and then he got up on stage and was jamming with them and all the other rock bands like Furious George (and the Monster Groove) and all these people.

“Everybody’s up on stage rapping and singing and playing the instruments,” Burg continued. “It was fun. It was so much of a community. Everybody loved them” As the trio progressed into middle-age, familial and professional obligations began to phase them out of the scene. The band was less active during the Messina brothers’ final years, but continued to play the odd gig here and there, and Beesley would depart to be the founding drummer of The

Prop 119 would raise marijuana taxes for out-of-school learning Measure is one of 3 on Colorado’s statewide ballot

Marijuana at a Denver grow facility.

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters will decide in the election ending Nov. 2 whether to raise taxes on recreational marijuana to help fund a new state program aimed at providing Colorado students with out-of-school learning opportunities.

The program — called Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress, or LEAP — would pay service providers, like private tutoring companies or even public school teachers looking for extra work, to provide a wide variety of educational or development support services to K-12 students in the state.

Supporters of the measure, called Proposition 119, say that by giving kids from lower income families a chance to access tutoring and enrichment programs, the program can help those kids catch up academically to their more privileged peers and start to reverse the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning.

Public education advocates who oppose the measure, however, paint it as a slippery slope to vouchers and a threat to the state’s public education system, and argue that any new tax revenue for education should go into the existing system rather than

a whole new program. Meanwhile, opponents in Colorado’s cannabis industry say the increased sales tax is regressive and may push consumers back into the black market.

Proposition 119 would create the LEAP program to provide financial support to Colorado students between the ages of 5 and 17 who are eligible to attend public school.

A new state agency, called the Colorado Learning Authority, would run the program independent of oversight by the State Board of Education and the Colorado Department of Education. The governor would appoint a nine-member board to oversee the agency.

The measure would prioritize students from low-income families who otherwise couldn’t afford the supplemental services by giving them the first shot at receiving benefits under the program.

In 2023, financial aid awards of at least $1,500 would first have to go to students from households with income at or below the federal poverty level, then to students from house-

holds with income less than twice the poverty level. Any funding left over would be open to students from households with higher incomes.

After 2024, the Colorado Learning Authority would get new flexibility to determine the award amounts as well as how it would distribute the money.

The agency would set criteria for selecting and certifying the service providers. The types of educational or developmental support services providers could offer include tutoring, assistance targeted at students with special needs, language instruction, additional academic support materials, career and technical educational training programs, physical therapy, social emotional learning and mental health services.

However, the measure would block the program from being used for school tuition or for lessons or materials that are part of a student’s regular school day.

Colorado school districts and charter schools would automatically be certified as providers and teachers would get priority for approval.

The program would be paid for by raising retail marijuana taxes by 5 percentage points, to 20% from 15%, phased in over three years. The tax rate would jump 3 percentage points in 2022, and then an additional percentage point in 2023 and 2024.

The new taxes are estimated to raise more than $87 million next fiscal year, which starts July 2022. The new revenue would be exempt from state constitutional spending limits.

The measure would also annually divert roughly $20 million from the State Land Trust, which supports funding for public schools, to the State Public School Fund, with an equivalent amount going from the general fund to support the new program.

According to an analysis by nonpartisan legislative staff, the changes would mean less investment earnings in the state’s permanent fund by about $48 million over 10 years, including nearly $31 million that would otherwise go toward funding K-12 education. However, supporters point out that $20 million a year from the state land trust would result in a net increase in funding for public schools, above the lost potential revenue.

Proponents of Proposition 119 see the measure as a way to close the achievement gap by giving kids from low income families some of the same opportunities as kids who live in higher income households.

“There has been a longstanding opportunity gap in Colorado, and that was made worse in the pandemic,” said Curtis Hubbard, a Democratic consultant serving as spokesman for the campaign to support Proposition 119. “This is a targeted measure to direct help for out of school learning opportunities to the kids who need them the most.”

Hubbard described the measure as a “targeted solution” to what he called “the opportunity gap,” only SEE PROP 119, P21

made worse by restrictions on inschool learning that were in place during the pandemic.

“We can’t wait to address the learning loss that occurred in the pandemic,” he said. “And we can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids who didn’t have access to tutors, or test prep, or laptops, or internet service or whose families speak a language other than English in the home who may have already been behind.”

Mike Johnston is a Democratic former state senator and the head of Gary Community Ventures, a public-benefit corporation that has contributed nearly $1.5 million support of the measure. Though Gary does invest in for-profit companies, Johnston said Gary does not have any investments that would be providers for LEAP. Johnston said Coloradans have an obligation to address learning disparities in Colorado.

“The only way to really close that gap long term is to focus on all of the out-of-school and summer school learning opportunities that are driving those gaps in addition to what’s happening in K-12,” Johnston said.

“When you look at the opportunities that a lot of middle class or upper middle class kids have, whether it is for additional tutoring, whether it is for summer camp, whether it is for after school science programming, those are the things that both help kids catch up and keep up.”

Brenda Dickhoner leads conservative education advocacy group Ready Colorado, which has given $325,000 to the campaign supporting Proposition 119.

“We’re really excited about LEAP because this program empowers parents to spend dollars how they see fit for their children,” Dickhoner said. “Giving parents the ability to choose how to spend their dollars, whether it’s for math, tutoring, or piano lessons, or speech therapy is incredibly important to helping those kids thrive.”

The measure enjoys a slate of high-profile supporters on both sides of the aisle, including former governors Bill Ritter (a Democrat) and Bill Owens (a Republican), Democratic former Denver mayor Wellington Webb, Colorado state senators Bob Gardner (a Republican) and Rhonda Fields (a Democrat) and Democratic former U.S. Senator Mark Udall.

What opponents say Judy Solano is a Democratic former state representative and school teacher who is helping lead the opposition. She also serves as chairwoman of the nonprofit group Advocates for Public Education Policy.

Solano sees the program as unnecessary and has concerns about giving public money to private providers, which could include forprofit companies, describing it as “a slippery slope.” She also wondered why the measure created a new agency to administer the program.

“If the people that were backing this really cared about having adequate funds for students, why

would they create a whole new big agency that’s going to have administrative costs that we don’t really know?” she asked.

Perhaps the harshest critics of the program are a group called Taxpayers for Public Education, led by Cindy Barnard.

Barnard framed the measure as “basically a voucher initiative” that “creates another government bureaucracy that basically lacks complete accountability and transparency” and as a threat to public education funding. Like Solano, she thinks the money would be better used inside the public school system.

Barnard also suggested that the measure doesn’t do enough to prohibit discrimination by providers against students and fears religious providers would be able to deny services to LGBTQ youth.

Supporters disagree, pointing to language in the measure that states that the financial aid from the program must “be provided and administered in a manner that does not discriminate against any eligible child or youth, eligible child or youth’s family, provider, or learning opportunity on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, native language, religious affiliation, national origin, gender, military status, sexual orientation, gender variance, marital status, or physical or mental disability.”

The Colorado Parent Teacher Association also opposes the measure.

Similarly, the board of directors of the Colorado Association of School Boards voted to oppose Proposition 119.

The measure has also attracted critics from Colorado’s cannabis industry. Colorado Leads, an association of marijuana companies in the state, opposes proposition 119 because of the increased taxes.

“This initiative imposes a regressive tax on people’s pain, especially veterans, teachers and the elderly who need cannabis for medicine but can’t get a medical card, and while local communities generate this tax, local school boards have no say over the education programs it pays for,” said Chuck Smith, CEO of BellRock Brands and board president of Colorado Leads. “If these ballot measures are so beneficial to all Coloradans, why aren’t other industries asked to pay their fair share of these taxes?”

Others in the industry suggest the increased tax rate could push people back into the black market, an objection Johnston dismissed. The practice of people buying marijuana off the street, he said, is “a bygone era” that people won’t go back to at this point.

The board of the state’s largest teachers union, the Colorado Education Association, couldn’t settle on whether to support or oppose the proposition, resulting in the CEA taking a neutral stance.

Man shares story of fight against atrial fibrillation Fatigue, rapid heart rate can be symptoms of a serious condition

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many years, Zach Ward thought his racing heartbeat was because he had too much coffee, exercised too much or got up too fast. In reality, he was suffering from a condition many Americans have without ever knowing — atrial fibrillation, or AFib. It was not until three years ago when Ward stood up, passed out and hit his head on a dresser that he was officially diagnosed. Had he not been taken to the hospital to look at his head injury, Ward said, he does not know if he would have ever found out about the heart condition.

The ER doctor sent Ward to the hospital, who then sent him to a cardiologist for treatment of a condition 47-year-old Ward is suspected have having for more than 20 years.

“I remember standing up and just could not get enough oxygen,” said Ward, a Castle Pines resident.

“I just fell over and completely passed out. Until that day, I had no idea how common AFib really is and how often it never gets treated.”

AFIB RISK FACTORS The risk for AFib increases with age.

High blood pressure, the risk for which also increases with advancing age, accounts for about 1 in 5 cases of AFib. Risk factors for AFib include: Advancing age High blood pressure Obesity European ancestry Diabetes Heart failure Ischemic heart disease Hyperthyroidism Chronic kidney disease Moderate to heavy alcohol use Smoking Enlargement of the chambers on the left side of the heart Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase a person’s risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. During atrial fibrillation, the heart’s two upper chambers beat chaotically and irregularly.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the U.S. there are more than 454,000 hospitalizations a year with AFib being the primary diagnosis. AFib is the contributing factor to more than 158,000 deaths per year.

Because AFib symptoms can be

subtle, or rationalized as Ward did, they are often ignored. Symptoms of AFib include irregular heartbeat, heart palpitations (rapid, fluttering, or pounding), lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath and chest pain.

HealthOne physician Dr. Charles Fuenzalida, a cardiac electrophysiologist with The Medical Center of Aurora, said that, like Ward, many people just do not realize the variety of symptoms they are experiencing is due to a serious heart condition.

With September being AFib Awareness Month, Ward said it is important for people to realize how something that seems like

a minor symptom that can be blamed on coffee or fatigue can be something serious.

“I would get out of breath walking up a flight of stairs and think it was because I was out of shape,” Ward said. “Had I not hit that dresser, I would have never bothered to go to a doctor about it.”

In treating Ward, Fuenzalida said it has taken several steps over three years to get his heart in a place where he can return to biking and regular exercise.

At first, Ward started taking blood pressure medications and blood thinners. On two occasions, SEE CONDITION, P25

Prop 120 will drop property taxes — at least for some Measure is one of 3 on Colorado’s statewide ballot

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s residential property taxes are already among the nation’s lowest, but a measure on the 2021 statewide ballot would drop them ever lower — for some.

Proposition 120 would, if approved by voters, reduce the property tax assessment rates for multifamily housing to 6.5% from 7.15% starting in 2022. If you owned affected property valued at $300,000, you would pay $1,950 per 100 mills (a mill is a $1 payment on every $1,000 of assessed value) versus $2,145.

The rate would also be reduced under Proposition 120 for lodging properties from 29% to 26.4%. If you owned affected property valued at $300,000, you would pay $7,920 versus $8,700.

Proponents of the measure say a property tax reduction for multifamily housing could reduce rents and encourage investment to ease the state’s housing shortage. Lower property taxes for lodging property may allow businesses to expand and hire more employees.

“Property values are skyrocketing right now,” said Michael Fields, who leads Colorado Rising Action, the conservative fiscal policy nonprofit behind the ballot measure. “People

don’t have the money in their pocket to pay higher property taxes.”

Fields called Proposition 120 “a first step to ensure that people can stay in their homes.”

Conversely, opponents argue that slashing property taxes may result in local government cuts, including for schools and fire departments that rely on property tax revenue to operate.

Scott Wasserman, who leads the liberal-leaning fiscal policy nonprofit Bell Policy Center, said he’s concerned about the permanent nature of the cuts and how they don’t take into consideration the financial needs of local governments.

“We’re continuing to set statewide assessment rates regardless of how it impacts different counties,” he said.

In the final days of Colorado’s 2021 legislative session, a bipartisan measure passed that blunted the effects of Proposition 120.

Senate Bill 293 created new subcategories of residential and commercial property in an effort to limit the effects of the ballot measure. It then drove down the assessment rates for those new categories, though by not as much as Proposition 120 would have.

Single-family properties are taxed on 6.9% percent of assessed value, down from from 7.15% Multifamily properties are taxed on 6.8%, down from 7.15% Agricultural property’s rate dropped to 26.4%, from 29%

Property used to produce renewable energy is taxed on of 26.4% of assessed value, down from 29% There’s a big catch, however.

The rate decreases under Senate Bill 293 apply only in the 2022 and 2023 tax years. After that, state lawmakers will have to decide whether to continue with the lower assessment rates or raise them to their previous levels.

Because Senate Bill 293 was passed after the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office approved Proposition 120 for the signature-gathering process, the language on your ballot will ask if all property tax and commercial tax assessment rates should be dropped. Don’t be confused.

That’s not the case.

Nonpartisan legislative staff estimate that the assessment rate reductions would decrease property tax revenue for local governments across Colorado by $46 million in 2022 and $50.2 million in 2023.

The revenue decrease is expected to be even larger in later years due to a scheduled increase in the assessment rate for multifamily housing in 2024.

Because property taxes fund schools, there may be a hit to Colorado’s education system. The impact will vary by district since different districts impose different mill levy rates. The state legislature may backfill some of the losses.

Again, don’t be confused by the language on your ballot, which warns of a $1 billion hit to government coffers.

That estimate was created before Senate Bill 293 passed and Proposition 120 was effectively scaled back.

Proposition 120 would also allow the legislature to keep $25 million over the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of

Rights cap to be used to fund existing reimbursements to local governments for the homestead property tax exemption.

Seniors and veterans with a service-related disability are eligible for the exemption, which allows those who qualify to exempt 50% of the first $2,000 of residential value from property taxes. In 2020, the average exemption was $584.

Here’s more helpful information from nonpartisan staff at the legislature: “In years the exemption is available, the state reimburses local governments for the revenue reduction resulting from the property tax exemption. The state spent $157.9 million on local government reimbursements in state budget year 2020-21.

In some years, the state legislature has made the exemption temporarily unavailable as a budget balancing decision. The last year the exemption was not available was 2011.”

There’s one more thing voters may want to know: Fields has vowed to file a lawsuit seeking to invalidate Senate Bill 293 should Proposition 120 pass.

“They can’t kneecap or adjust our ballot initiative when it’s already through the process,” Fields said in explaining his legal argument against Senate Bill 293.

If the lawsuit is successful, it’s not clear if Proposition 120 would then reduce the assessment rates for all property and residential taxes in Colorado. However, that’s what the Common Sense Institute believes would happen.

“It is a serious concern,” said Wasserman, from the Bell Policy Center.

Wasserman worries that the lawsuit could serve as a slippery slope affecting future legislatures and future ballot issues.

“Just because you take out a ballot title doesn’t mean you get to have the exclusive conversation about an issue in Colorado,” he said.

Perlmutter honored for nuclear worker advocacy Rocky Flats employees recognize congressman

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

District 7 Congressman Ed Perlmutter was honored by Nuclear Care Partners with the organization’s inaugural Congressional Award for Atomic Heroes at ceremony held at the Armed Forces Garden in Westminster on Oct. 7.

Eight former Rocky Flats employees attended the ceremony and were presented with a congressional certificate and a U.S. flag flown over the Capitol by Perlmutter.

Perlmutter was recognized by the NCP — an organization that

Ward went through a cardioversion procedure.

Cardioversion is a procedure used to return an abnormal heartbeat to a normal rhythm.

The problem, Ward said, was that the procedure costs $10,000 every time it must be done, and it is not permanent. Ward went through cardioversion twice.

In treating patients with AFib,

provides benefits guidance and in-home care to former atomic workers — due to his work to ensure benefits and improve access to benefits for former atomic workers, as well as his work to empower the Advisory Board which allows former atomic workers a direct line of communication with the Department of Labor.

Perlmutter said that protecting health care and benefit access for atomic workers has been a priority of his and will continue to be going forward.

“Working on behalf of these Cold War Patriots who risked their lives to protect our nation and help end the Cold War has been one of my biggest priorities,” said Perlmutter. “I will continue to work to ensure these heroes receive the compensation and care they need

and deserve as they deal with the health consequences and other side effects related to their service

to our country.”

NCP Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jenna Noem praised Perlmutter’s advocacy for atomic workers and said that the award would be given out by NCP on an annual basis going forward.

“There’s big shoes to fill, because to give the inaugural award to (Perlmutter) was a fantastic experience. We’re looking for congressmen and women who are interested in this issue, who is actually weighing in with the department of labor and making an impact for former workers,” Noem said. “Someone who is an advocate for their peers, someone who is a champion when it comes to policymaking or letters being sent, really championing these workers. We can’t wait to see who it’s going to be next year.”

Fuenzalida said, one of the biggest concerns is stroke. When a person has AFib, blood can pool in the heart’s upper chambers and form blood clots that can break off and travel to the brain.

When medicine and the cardioversion treatments were not working to stabilize his heart, Fuenzalida recommended Ward go through a different procedure called ablation.

Ablation uses small burns or freezes to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart to help break up the electrical signals

that cause irregular heartbeats.

This procedure allows the heart to return to a normal rhythm.

After having a friend die from AFib, Ward agreed to have the surgery done in the spring of this year. With about a dozen doctors and nurses in the room, Ward said, he was impressed with the technology used to conduct the procedure, with the doctor going through a vein, starting in the thigh, through the lungs and into the heart. The procedure took about six hours altogether.

Now, Ward said he is feeling the

difference, and has gotten back to regular exercise and biking without being as worried.

Technology is also helping Ward stay vigilant. Some of the most popular smartwatches on the market can monitor a person’s heart rate. Ward said he can constantly monitor his heart rate.

Fuenzalida said he believes smartwatch technology is a game-changer in identifying and diagnosing AFib. Fuenzalida said each year more patients are being referred to heart specialists based on smartwatch data.

Wheat Ridge softball plows to 4A Jeffco League title

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — On Sept. 14, Wheat Ridge’s softball was in a bad spot.

The Farmers had suffered an 11-0 loss to Chatfield. The defeat left the perennial Class 4A powerhouse with a 3-11 record and amid a 10-game losing streak.

“The beginning of our season was definitely the hardest,” Wheat Ridge senior catcher Isabella Martinez said. “In league we have definitely turned it on. We wanted to show how we can play as a young new team. Mentality everyone has turned it on and got it together.”

Fast-forward to Monday, Oct. 4, Wheat Ridge won its sixth straight 4A Jeffco League game with a 5-1 victory over rival Golden. The Farmers (11-12 record, 8-0 in league) and Demons (11-12, 5-3) were tied atop the conference heading into the key league game.

“Playing a tough non-league schedule really prepped us going into league,” Wheat Ridge coach Dave Thies said. “Obviously D’Evelyn, Conifer and Golden are all pretty good teams. We have gotten more consistent and the girls are believing in what they can do.”

Monday’s win gave Wheat Ridge a 1-game lead for the race for the 4A Jeffco title with 2 games to play. The Farmers wrapped up the conference title with a win over Green Mountain (Oct. 6) and Standley Lake (Oct. 7) last week.

“It’s so crazy,” said Martinez, who added she is surprised the Farmers worked their way to the conference title. “Something has just clicked and here we are.”

Wheat Ridge junior pitcher Elizabeth Uhl has been a big part of the surging Farmers. Uhl was key

against Golden striking out a dozen while scattering four hits. She also had a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to give the Farmers a 2-0 lead.

“It’s my junior year and huge for college recruiting,” Uhl said. “I want to do everything I can for my team since we lost so many seniors (nine) to graduation. It’s a chance for my future and I want to win.”

Golden has had just about the same remarkable rebound after a rough start. The Demons started the season with a 3-9 record before going on an 8-game winning streak that came to an end with the loss to Wheat Ridge.

Freshman sensation Madeline Stubenrauch brought the Demons within 2-1 after her double and scoring on a Wheat Ridge fielding error in the bottom of the fourth inning.

However, Wheat Ridge’s bats really came alive late with a 3-run top of the seventh inning. After sophomore Maya Dalton was hit by pitch to lead-off the inning Aryanna Palfy, Aaliyah Arellano, Emeri Ortega and Martinez all had hits to extend the

Farmers’ lead to 5-1.

“That was huge,” Martinez said of the Farmers’ 3-run top of the seventh inning. “I think if we would have made some adjustments earlier the score would have been different, but we made adjustments when we needed to.”

Uhl took to the mound with a little more confidence and swagger with a 4-run lead.

“I like to relax myself and dance a little bit,” Uhl said warming up before the start of the bottom of the seventh inning. “I feel more comfortable. I’m in the zone and that circle is my safe space.”

Uhl struck out the first two Demon batters and a pop out to third base ended the game. The junior ace retired Golden in order in four of the seven innings.

“I told them we were going to go win league,” Thies said. “The heart

and passion that we are seeing right now is helping out. It doesn’t hurt to have the pitcher that we have. She is one of the better pitchers in the state.”

Despite advancing to the 4A state semifinals last season with a 17-2 record, the Farmers’ numbers went down so far this year that Wheat Ridge didn’t field a JV squad this Fall.

“Coming back to Wheat Ridge I was used to having big numbers,” said Thies, who was on the coaching staff when the Farmers won four state titles from 2008 to 2014. “It was an eye-opener to see a program take a step backwards. I’m staying here and dedicated to bring some talent and get the numbers back up.”

RACING FROM PAGE 3

three additional weeks in a walking boot. Turns out, watching Hell Week results pour in while I iced and elevated was truly the most hellish Hell Week for me.

This year, my fifth running Hell Week, I finally found the right tone for the event: cautious optimism.

The result was some so-so runs on Monday (the Table Mountains), two stellar, PR runs on Thursday (Apex and Galbraith on Thursday), and one exhilarating, if not slightly foolish, risky but most rewarding night run up Lookout Mountain for a Friday finish. It was heaven and hell wrapped up in one shadowy, twisting, ankle-testing passage.

And that led to the last, but perhaps most important, thing to know: A voyage through Hell Week deserves a cold brew from a local brewery. Personally, post-run beer is one of the best reasons to run.

You’re thirsty, I’m thirsty, we’ve earned it.

And so it was that on Friday, while enjoying a cold blueberry Kolsch at Mountain Toad, I first met Quinn Aaron, the “we” behind Golden Hell Week. The man behind the curtain, so to speak. He was totally laid-back and unassuming, and even a little geeky in the way that I and most trail runners are— number nerds who love competing against ourselves, comparing times, collecting data.

“I always tell people that I’m not really an event organizer, just a data collector,” Quinn confirms.

And though it’s a statement clearly shrouded in modesty, I think I speak for all Hell Week runners when I say that he ought not to sell himself or the event short. Certainly, for the 115-plus participants and 105 finishers, of which I was one, its impact can’t be understated.

Because for the trail runner, true hell is having nowhere to run, nothing to inspire, no one to share your adventures with. And Golden Hell Week gives us all those things, plus community, camaraderie, and a whole helluva lot more.

Ralston Valley shuts out Chatfield on the pitch

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The most colorful cleats took the spotlight Tuesday, Oct. 5, at Lakewood Memorial Field.

Sporting his highlighter yellow Nike cleats … Ralston Valley sophomore Keegan Ulvedal scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory for the Mustangs over Chatfield.

“It was a really good goal,” Ralston Valley coach Jamie Scarcliff said.

“He kept it down. A lot of the time we shank that over the goal because they get excited and get under the ball. It was a great ball played by Kieran McCarron.”

Scarcliff added that she thought Ulvedal was a more dangerous offensive threat in the second half after the scoreless first half in the Class 5A Jeffco League game.

“We got the corner kick and I was the guy who was going up to press the keeper,” Ulvedal said of his goal in the 44th minute. “The ball came up and I popped off. It was a free header in.”

Ralston Valley (7-6-1, 5-1-1 in league) got back to .500 overall as the Mustangs attempt to make the 32team 5A state tournament. Ralston Valley was sitting in the 36th spot in the RPI before the victory over Chatfield (7-5, 4-1).

“We are sitting kind of on the boarder right now,” Scarcliff said of the Mustangs’ postseason chances. “We didn’t take care of some of our games earlier in the

season with our non-league games.

Playing Lakewood on Friday will be a big game for us. We just have to take it one game at a time. Each game is important to put us as high as we can.”

Ralston Valley closes out its regular season against Bear Creek on Oct. 21 and then await its playoff fate.

“It wasn’t the prettiest win for us. We have struggled the past few games playing constantly and showing up for the full 80 minutes,” Scarcliff admitted. “We’ll take the goal.

We’ll take the win. They battled until the end.”

It was the first conference loss for Chatfield and ended a 4-game

winning streak. The Chargers still have three league game remaining — Columbine, Lakewood and Valor Christian — over the next to weeks.
