Bon voyage to Vern and Vicki Farewell party for philanthropy power couple STAFF REPORT

There are power couples, and then there is the Wagners.

Over the last 50 years, Vern And Vicki Wagner have had such a positive impact on the Golden community that when word got out that the two were moving to Montrose to be closer to family, plans began for a farewell celebration to mark their importance. The Golden Civic Foundation, Golden Chamber of Commerce, Golden Visitors & Information Center and Mayor Laura Weinberg teamed up to help throw the party, honoring the professional and philanthropic contributions the Wagners have made.

“They’re great people, we really had a good turnout.” Julie Bartos with the Golden Civic Foundation said, following the festivities.

The pair were honored on Oct. 14 on the Visitors Center patio, with Mayor Weinberg officially proclaming it “Vern & Vicki Wagner Day.” “Volunteerism is a core Golden value and Vern and Vicki have led the way for decades,” said Mayor Weinberg. “The quality of a community is determined by the quality of its members’ contributions.

These two have been involved in so many aspects of our Golden community and helped make the city the special place it is today.”

According to the Golden Civic Foundation the dynamic couple married in 1958, and moved with their three children to Golden in 1968 when Vern, a U.S. Army veteran and power line construction lineman, accepted a can line mechanic position at Adolph Coors Co.

Guilty verdicts in deadly I-70 trucker trial Jurors convict driver on 27 counts

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It took jurors less than a day to convict Rogel Aguilera-Mederos on more than two dozen counts — including four counts of vehicular homicide — for causing a deadly crash that occurred April 25, 2019 on eastbound I-70 near Lakewood.

Twenty-eight vehicles including four semi trucks were damaged in the accident that swiftly turned into an inferno.

The day before closing arguments were made, Aguilera-Mederos had taken the stand in his own defense.

A native Spanish speaker who emigrated from Cuba in 2015, he testified through an interpreter.

Despite ongoing confusion during questioning, attorneys on both sides of the case were able to elicit answers from the defendant. In the end, jurors agreed with prosecutors that Aguilera-Mederos was responsible for the accident and should be held accountable.

Aguilera-Mederos, who was just 23 at the time of the crash, blamed malfunctioning brakes for the accident. Admittedly inexperienced in mountain driving, he said he performed necessary steps like Vern and Vicki Wagner.

CTE opportunities for Jeffco students — an overview A comprehensive look at Career and Technical Education programs

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Career and Technical Education (CTE) was the main topic of October’s Jeffco Board of Education meeting.

Seen as a pathway to career and college readiness, CTE has been a component of Jeffco schools for more than 30 years.

Aside from three Warren Tech campuses, the district’s elementary, middle and high schools offer CTE classes to provide students with exposure to career-related curricula focusing on academic, technical and employability skills.

Marna Messer, Jeffco’s choice programming director, and Heather Keeton, Warren Tech principal, spoke about where CTE is currently and what needs to be done to grow the program for coming generations.

Messer said CTE career pathways allow students to apply academic skills while learning technical skills and develop employability skills while experiencing authentic situations. Career pathways classes are designed to align to industry standards so graduating students can be immediately employable.

She said students who concentrate (take two or more credits) in a discipline are also more likely to graduate on time, enroll in postsecondary education and (still) be employed eight years after graduation. Therefore, each career pathway in Jeffco CTE programs offers students the opportunity to take two credits.

Industries are connected to CTE programs through advisory boards and each career pathway program must articulate to a post-secondary program in Colorado.

Jeffco has 142 high school programs including programs at neighborhood, option and special schools in addition to programs offered at Warren Tech which just opened its third campus, adjacent to Dakota Ridge High School in South Jeffco.

There are also 27 Middle School

Jeffco Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland, Board of Education President Susan Harmon, Warren Tech Principal Heather Keeton PHOTO BY BOB WOOLEY and others cut the ribbon at the opening celebration for the new Warren Tech South campus earlier this year.

Combined Exploratory programs throughout the district.

Courses in Health Science, Aviation, IT/Cybersecurity, Welding, Vehicle Maintenance, Theatre, Multimedia, Manufacturing Trades, Hospitality and Food Management, Business Management, Biotechnology, Construction Trades, Drafting/ Design, Engineering, Education and Fashion/Interior Design are just some of what’s available for students to take.

Jeffco’s CTE programs are funded, in part, by 2018’s 5A Mill Levy.

Keeton spoke about the connection between the district’s home high schools and Warren Tech.

“As many of you know, Warren Tech is a designated Career and Technical Education school and we have 37 different programs. And we just won the Colorado Succeeds prize and we just yesterday, talked to them about the incredible support we get from our district,” she said.

“Jeffco is so progressive and forward thinking in putting resources toward a designated Career and Technical School and it makes all of the difference.”

She said the District is always looking at carer pathways and how they tie into home high schools — the goal being getting students

started in home high schools, preparing them to finish up at Warren Tech if they choose to do so.

Staffing in CTE programs has been a challenge, but the district is also hoping to benefit from its Jeffco Root program which allows them to “grow their own teachers.”

Keeton said almost every Warren Tech program offers concurrent enrollment opportunities, allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. She said on average, Warren Tech students have earned 13,000 college credits, which adds up to almost $2 million in college savings for students.

“It makes college credits more accessible and affordable for students,” she said. “Many of our Warren Tech students are college-bound.

And other students use those credits to get certifications and then go straight into the workforce.”

Messer also spoke about Jeffco Career Links, a district-wide program that helps all Jeffco students with things like industry interviews, resumé support, a career expo, Capstone mentorships, internships and apprenticeships.

She said the Career Links team also helps students connect with industry and career partnerships.

Some of the program’s partners

include Habitat for Humanity, Frontier Airlines, Marriott, the Action Center, Denver Botanic Gardens and Ball Aerospace.

Despite the success of Jeffco’s CTE programs, Messer said there’s still work to be done to build a more thorough system of career and college readiness that ensures all students are ready for post-secondary success.

“We have to consider careerconnected learning opportunities for our younger grades,” she said.

“We have to support our middle school students in exploring careers through systemic practices such as virtual job shadows for all students, industry speakers and connecting with organizations such as Junior Achievement.”

She said in high schools the district needs to support students in career pathways rather than just letting them think of (those courses) as electives they can take.

Apex board votes to approve Meyers Pool project First of three parties needed to greenlight new Arvada natatorium

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Oct. 7 meeting of the Apex Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors, the board voted to unanimously approve a proposal for an intergovernmental agreement that would work towards constructing a new pool building to replace Meyers Pool, located at 7900 Carr Street.

The project would involve Apex, the City of Arvada and Jefferson County School District, the latter two of which still need to vote to

approve the proposal. Under the agreement, Apex would operate the pool, Jeffco Public Schools would be the facility’s primary tenant, and the City of Arvada would own the facility.

Apex Board of Directors President Vicki Pyne shared details on the proposal at the meeting.

“The goal is to have this document signed by all involved parties by the end of October,” said Pyne. “The city and the school district are the capital financers, 50% split. Right now, we’re looking at about a $35-36 million building, so about $17 million (each). They’ll finance it for 20 years; they’re using private financing. It’ll be in the neighborhood of about $800,000 per year.

“In return the school district asked for free lane use for the high school girls and boys

swim meets in season … We were able to limit it to the amount of lanes that they used in 2019. If they increase, then the pay a per-lane charge for that,” Pyne continued. “The City of Arvada is the other 50%. They would be the owner of the facility. The school district basically said they don’t want ownership … The city would have ownership much like they do now.”

Apex Board Vice President Ken Harrell expressed a desire to have the other two parties vote before November elections, which could usher in change to the school board and city council.

“I think we’ve got to get this to the school board before the board changes,” said Harrell.

“And the city council Changes in November — get it done.”

We Are Now Witnessing the Transition from a Sellers Market to a Balanced Market

The oft-heard complaint among home buyers and their agents throughout the pandemic was a lack of active listings, which was not due to a lack of new listings but rather the result of new listings going under contract so quickly that at any given time there was little to choose from.

It became a crazy sellers market which is only now abating except for “special” homes that are priced appropriately.

If you look only at closed listings, you might conclude that we are still in a sellers market.

One indicator that I have used in the past is the median ratio of listing price to closing price, which remains above 100% within the Denver metro area. In September, for closings within 15 miles of downtown Denver, the median was 0.9% above listing price, which is still impressive.

However, if you look below the surface — that is, at the homes that haven’t sold, you see a rising inventory of homes

that have been active on the MLS for an increasing length of time.

For example, as I write this column on Monday morning for Thursday’s newspapers, there are 2,542 active listings of single family homes, condos and townhomes within 18 miles of downtown Denver, 760 of which (or 30%) are new, listed on REcolorado in the last 7 days.

However, the median active listing has been on the MLS for 19 days, and 1,024 of them (or 49.9%) have been active 30 days or longer. Another 552 of them (or 21.7%) have been active for 60 days or longer.

Meanwhile, there are 4,949 pending listings within that 18-mile radius. Of them, only 804 or 16.2% were active more than 30 days before going under contract, and only 319 (or 6.4%) took over 60 days to go under contract. 221 of those currently pending listings went under contract with zero days on the MLS. Another 2,528 of them (over 50%)

went under contract in 1 to 7 days.

Meanwhile, if you look at the 3,509 listings in the same 18-mile radius that closed in the last 30 days, only 401 of them (or 11.4%) of them took over 30 days to go under contract, and only 318 (or 3.4%) took over 60 days to go under contract.

This is what it looks like as we transition from a seller’s market to a balanced market. To reiterate, nearly 22% of active listings within 18 miles of downtown Denver have been on the market over 60 days, but only 3.4% of recently closed listings were active that long before going on the market.

Buyers who gave up after losing multiple bidding wars will find greater success if they re-enter the market now. As I’ve suggested in the past, you can avoid a bidding war simply by asking your agent to send you only listings that have

been active at least 10 days on the MLS. You’re less likely to have competing buyers for those listings.

The new listings, however, will still get multiple offers if they are unique or special in one way or another.

For example, recently we listed an up/ down duplex in Golden’s coveted 12th Street Historic District. There was a bidding war on it, and it went under contract for more than $100,000 over the listing price. But if you look at all the active listings in Golden proper as I write this, there is only one new listing. The other active listings have been on the MLS between 11 and 102 days. All but two of them have posted price reductions.

I think it will begin to sink in among sellers and their listing agents that they need to be less aggressive in pricing their homes when they put them on the market. Don’t assume that buyers will flock to your listing and compete with each other for it. Price it right, and it will sell.

Overprice it, and it won’t.

Take Pictures of Your House Now

Before all the leaves fall, the lawn turns brown and winter sets in, take some pictures of your home. You never know what turns your life might take, and if you need to put your home on the market this winter, make sure you have some good nonwinter pictures of your home.

Heritage Road interchange project looks at pedestrian designs Public can give opinions online through Oct. 27

BY SHANNA MAXCY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A fourth open house for the U.S. 6, Heritage Road interchange project held Oct. 13 focused on designs and amenities for the multimodal deck.

The deck is where pedestrians and bicyclist will cross over U.S. 6.

Four concept were presented at the virtual open house, in which participants gave their input through an online portal. Of the 54 attendees, most have lived in Golden more than 11 years and the majority passes through the intersection up for discussion daily.

Each concept drew inspiration from local geological and architectural elements. Of the four concepts, the one that got the most positive feedback from open house attendees was focused on sandstone outcrop. Features included a climbing boulder, meadow planting, stone and shrubs and rich colors to mimic sandstone formations.

During the discussion, attendees said that they felt this concept felt most like Golden, but were worried that using synthetic rock material to mimic sandstone might look fake.

The second most liked concept focused on open space. It included native vegetation, grasses with

stone walls, a free play area and seating. The architectural element mimicked the incinerator chimney on the fairway of hole 1 at Fossil trace Golf Course, giving a nod to the area’s clay mining history.

Meeting attendees loved the chimney element of this design, but questioned if picnic tables and a children’s play space were needed.

A quarter of the meeting participants voted to combine elements from two or more concepts to create a new concept. Many in the discus-

sion wanted to make the design simple and more cost effective.

Moving forward, the design team will take feedback and create renderings of the final design.

“These types of sessions and your comments are very helpful to us to put something together that meets as many desires as possible,” said Dan Hartman, Golden public works director. “The work that needs to be done now by the engineers is fairly detailed and it will take some time.”

He also said to expect renderings

for a final design in winter or early spring. At that time, there will be another meeting to look and make suggestions. But the team will only be able to tweak the design, not create something new.

Anyone interested in the project can voice their opinions on the multimodal deck and other elements of the interchange through a survey on www.guidinggolden.com through Oct. 27. Presentations from all four open houses are also available on the site.

stopping to inspect his brakes before embarking on the final dangerous stretch of eastbound I-70 before the crash occurred.

He had driven into Colorado from Saratoga, Wyoming, traveling along Highway 40, where he had to traverse Berthoud Pass. Under direct examination, AguileraMederos testified that once he’d made it beyond Berthoud Pass, he stopped to use the bathroom and inspect his brakes, making calls to more experienced drivers (his brother and his boss) to tell them he was on a dangerous route and to get their advice before continuing.

Witnesses in the case said they’d seen the brakes of the truck smoking along that stretch of Highway 40.

But Aguilera-Mederos rebutted those accounts and eyewitness testimony from earlier in the trial that he had been driving recklessly or speeding in the hours leading up to the crash.

Aguilera-Mederos said the truck’s brakes were functioning fine at that point and that only later, while driving down a steep grade on the west side of Genesee Hill, did he realize they had stopped functioning. According to his testimony, he was also unable to shift the truck’s transmission into a lower gear in an attempt to slow it down.

He told the jury the last thought he had before the crash was “dear

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

Much of the expert testimony during the trial focused on signs of “glazing” or extreme wear to the truck’s brakes. Prosecutors believe aggressive, reckless driving caused the inexperienced driver to burn through his brakes, precipitating the deadly collision.

In closing arguments, prosecutor Kayla Wildeman made the case to jurors that beyond causing the brakes to fail with his reckless driving, Aguilera-Mederos had several opportunities to avert the deadly accident, but didn’t act on any of them.

She said choices he made even moments before he crashed his truck into cars backed up on the freeway were designed to save himself with little regard for victims of the crash.

“He swerved into a sea of cars that were sitting ducks, with nowhere to go,” she said. “What else was going to happen except for death and people being injured?”

Wildeman closed by calling Aguilera-Mederos out for not rushing to the aid of the victims after the crash.

“He was knocking on doors asking for phones so that he could call his brother to come and pick him up so that he could leave,” she said.

In his closing arguments, defense attorney James Colgan said he was going to speak from the heart instead of presenting his written remarks. He said over the last year he’d reread the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” a couple of times, recalling its subtext of fairness and equality in the American justice system.

“Only in America does a man who speaks Spanish, is an immigrant from Cuba — can he expect

to get a fair shake from a jury.” he said. “This would never happen in another country. Only in America could this happen. But it’s only going to happen if fairness enters the picture.”

He said people generally see what they look for, and see what they listen for. Continuing with the narrative that prosecutors were branding Aguilera-Mederos a killer, Colgan said his client was not perfect, but was not a killer.

He painted a picture of AguileraMederos as a young, inexperienced man overwhelmed by circumstances beyond his control. Colgan said witnesses who claimed to have seen his client speeding or driving recklessly prior to the accident were mistaken or were seeing what they wanted to see, in order to try to help solve the case.

Colgan also laid blame at the feet of Aguilera-Mederos’ boss, Raphael, who told him the truck was in good condition, and to take Highway 40 instead of Interstate 25 into Colorado.

“He’s a young kid, who’s got a job — his first real job as a truck driver — and he trusts his boss,” Colgan said. “Raphael said the truck was OK. When Raphael said don’t take Highway 287, don’t take I-25, the defendant said, OK, he’s my boss. That was his biggest mistake is that he trusted him (Raphael).”

Colgan said Aguilera-Mederos did everything he knew how to do to stop the truck. But everything failed. And that just because he didn’t choose to commit suicide by driving his truck into an underpass in an attempt to stop it, it didn’t make him a killer.

Sentencing for Aguilera-Mederos will take place Dec. 13.

JUST AS THE SCHOOL YEAR’S KICKING INTO GEAR THE CITY COUNCIL CAN KICK FLAVORED TOBACCO TO THE CURB. Flavored tobacco products have created a youth nicotine-addiction epidemic, and nowhere is it more dangerous than in our schools. Big Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Gummi Bear to Cool Mint to Menthol.

Today, over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% of them use flavors. And for young smokers, half smoke menthols – which are easier to start and harder to quit.

Now is the time for the Denver City Council to act, especially as our kids return to old routines.

Calling all book lovers Rocky Mountain Literary Festival featured award winning authors and a day of books

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reading five to six books every month for an entire year to select material and authors for the Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is just part of the legwork behind the scenes of the annual book-lovers event.

Book lovers united with multiple authors for a day of presentations, auctions, autographing, socializing and more at the seventh annual festival on Oct. 16 at Mount Vernon Canyon Club in Golden.

The festival was created and continues to benefit Bootstraps Inc., a local scholarship/loan organization that supports continuing education for mountain area students. In six years, the festival has raised $34,000 for scholarships.

It featured Andrea Bobotis, Pam Houston, David Treuer, Carter Wilson and Melanie Crowder, best-selling authors who have won awards from USA today, the New York Times and more.

Nancy Heister, Bootstraps’ director of development, has been to six RMLF events, calling them “a great

This year’s event hosted about 150 people in person and had a virtual audience of around 30.

in person,” Heister said, especially after last year’s event was completely virtual.

Bobotis gave a presentation about her recent novel, “The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt.” She started by asking the audience to imagine something important to them and explaining how beginning to write about objects eventually led her to reconnect with her southern roots.

“I grew up in a southern home crowded with heirlooms,” she said.

Tanya Kaanta from Evergreen was one of the original organizers of the event in 2015. This year she hosted one of the authors. “(I’m) here to celebrate these amazing authors,” she said. “The whole goal is to help high school seniors with their education.”

Susan Henry attended the first RMLF event as the president of Bootstraps, but this year she attended as the executive director. She

Legislature eyes tax hike for short-term rentals Plan would help fund schools, fire departments, say sponsors

BY JESSE PAUL AND JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Property taxes on short-term rental properties in Colorado would more than triple under a bill drafted by state lawmakers that comes as communities from Durango to Denver grapple with surging numbers of vacation rentals.

The proposal would tax vacation homes like hotels and motels, which are subject to a higher assessment, on the days they are being rented and deliver the extra revenue to public schools, fire departments, libraries and other districts that rely on property taxes. State Sen. Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat who sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and is leading the push for the legislation, said the idea is to boost revenue for local communities.

“There’s a really strong need for us to stabilize our property tax system and increase our local share,” said Hansen, referring to the rising education funding burden on the state budget. “If this is something we don’t get ahead of, it’s going to spiral out of control for the state.”

The draft bill comes amid broader conversations around short-term

rentals in western Colorado. Town councils and county commissioners see limits and increased fees on properties rented through sites like Airbnb and VRBO as a way to ease a critical lack of affordable housing that is triggering a labor shortage.

In mountain communities, many think short-term rentals have already spiraled out of control. Many of them are cracking down on short-

term rentals as new residents buy homes for record prices and more owners convert long-term rentals for local workers into vacation homes offered to travelers.

“It’s constantly being talked about.

Every local government is hearing the same thing: These are really impacting our communities, our neighborhoods and our quality of life,” said Jon Stavney, the executive director of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments.

Voters in Avon, Crested Butte, Leadville and Ouray will consider ballot questions that increase taxes on short-term rentals. Telluride voters have two ballot questions that impose caps on vacation rentals.

Councils and commissioners in several other communities have stalled or capped the flow of permits for vacation homes. (Check back with The Sun next week to read a roundup of short-term rental ballot issues and ordinances in local elections on the Western Slope.)

The new draft state legislation, which was developed this month from discussions in the General Assembly’s Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Tax Policy and Task Force, would work like this: If a home is rented as a short-term rental for more than 30 days a year, the owner must pay the lodging property tax rate for each rental day instead of the much lower singlefamily property tax rate. In other words, if a property is rented out as a short-term rental for 45 days, the owner must pay a commercial property tax rate on those 45 days in a year and the single-family property tax rate on the remaining 320 days.

A temporary reduction in the 29% commercial property tax assessment rate approved by lawmakers this year through Senate Bill 293 dropped the lodging property tax assessment rate to 26.4% for tax years 2022 and 2023 from 29%. Proposition 120, on the November ballot, would make that reduction permanent if it’s approved by voters.

The single-family property tax assessment rate is 6.9% for the next two tax years under Senate Bill 293.

Lawmakers will then decide whether to continue the reduction or reinstate the 7.15% assessment rate.

The assessment rate works like this: If property’s fair-market value is $1 million, its assessed value for purposes of taxation would be $264,000 if it’s considered a commercial property. If it is considered a residential property, its assessed value would be $69,000.

The higher the assessed value, the more taxes the property owner pays.

The policy change is really targeted at second homeowners and investment property owners. The 30-day threshold is considered a protection for owners who only occasionally rent their homes.

“You don’t want to create a bunch of overhead for somebody who is renting it occasionally,” Hansen said.

Still, Hansen is open to changing the threshold for when homeowners would have to start paying lodging property taxes on rental days.

“I’m not stuck on 30,” he said. “It’s just sort of the opening gambit.”

Mark Chapin, Eagle County’s assessor and the co-chair of the Colorado Assessors Association’s legislative committee, is working with Hansen on how best to draw a line between investors who rent for returns versus owners who rent occasionally to offset costs.

Chapin worries that assessors in smaller communities will have a difficult time tracking down owners of vacation homes and then valuing their properties based on the number of days it rented to vacationers.

“It depends on the scope of the legislation and what the legislature is trying to capture,” Chapin said.

“If they are saying all short-term rentals need to be valued and placed on the tax roll … that is not daunting but it certainly would require more employees.”

But if lawmakers focus only on properties that are used exclusively for short-term rentals, Chapin said, “that changes that game.”

The focus for assessors in mountain communities is to help communities address long-term housing for workers as well as “treating everyone fairly and equitably,” Chapin said.

“Sen. Hansen’s concern is, from a real property valuation standpoint, that the short-term rental is the same as a hotel and motel, so their tax should be based on a higher assessment rate,” Chapin said.

Colorado Springs has one of Colorado’s most robust short-term rental markets. There are many investment companies that are acquiring and renting homes. But for a major city, the number of homes available for rent is not having a huge impact on housing for workers, El Paso County Assessor Steve Schleiker said.

Schleiker sees big differences between owners of short-term rental properties in urban counties on the Front Range and vacation homeowners in resort-area communities.

He wonders if a statewide policy on short-term rentals would work for both urban and rural communities.

TAX HIKE FROM PAGE 12

board of the Colorado Assessors Association and was named Colorado Assessor of the Year in 2019, sees some challenges in switching shortterm rentals over to commercial property tax assessment.

First, Schleiker pointed to the hundreds, if not thousands, of El Paso County’s military veterans and personnel who have mortgages through the Veterans Administration. They could have their note called if their homes are assessed as commercial properties, he said.

Other lenders might also have issues with owners of residential homes being assessed at commercial rates, he said.

“That has already happened twice with two property owners … who converted a portion of their home to rent on Airbnb,” he said. (Those owners were refinancing, Schleiker said, and the appraisal report noted the rental operation, which alerted the Veterans Administration lender to a potential violation of their residential mortgage terms.)

Schleiker also worries that utilities and insurance providers may change their rates for homeowners whose properties are assessed as commercial.

“Our lawmakers need to be very, very careful looking at this,” he said. “I wonder if folks are looking down the road at the ramifications.

I see more cons than pros, but I understand the purpose.”

Schleiker has an idea he thinks could work better. Why not create a new assessment for lodging properties, both hotels and short-term rentals, that falls somewhere between today’s commercial and residential rates? Senate Bill 293 set the model, Schleiker said, by carving out new property tax subcategories for multi-family homes and agricultural and renewable energy properties.

“If I have an opportunity to sit down with the governor or testify on this bill, I will be very vocal with my concerns,” Schleiker said. “Maybe there’s some middle ground with an assessment between commercial and residential for short-term rental properties offering lodging like a

hotel and motel,” Schleiker said.

The Legislative Oversight Committee Concerning Tax Policy and Task Force voted 5-1 last month to draft the legislation. The lone “no” vote came from Rep. Dan Woog, an Erie Republican.

“I just think that’s a local control issue,” Woog said. “I just don’t think the state legislature needs to come in and create some blanket policy.”

Besides his big-government concerns, Woog also worried the policy change would result in higher prices for consumers.

That’s exactly the point, Hansen said.

“It’s essentially a passthrough,” he said. “If you have a lack of tax parity, you’re basically creating a tax subsidy for a lodging property and you get unintended consequences.”

Hansen also brushed off concerns about keeping tabs on how many days a property is rented out. “We’re obviously counting on the taxpayer to correctly report and remit, just as we do every other part of the tax system.”

This is not the first time a Colorado lawmaker has tried to shift vacation rentals over to commercial taxation. In 2020, state Sen. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican, introduced a similar piece of legislation. It was rejected, but not before creating an uproar among resort-town real estate brokers and short-term rental owners in the state.

Gardner said he was just trying to start a conversation about the tax parity issue.

Hansen is fully cognizant that his legislation is likely to prompt as much feedback as an Airbnb listing that makes false promises.

“I think there’s a very loud group that owns second homes that would like not to pay appropriate property tax,” he said. “I get that. We as the legislature have a larger responsibility to have a sustainable funding mechanism for schools.”

Improve retention with persistent consistency

A

s we continue to talk about hiring and keeping a productive and performancedriven team, we must include “Consistency” in our “5 C’s for Retaining Top Talent.” This is the WINNING fourth column in WORDS a five-part series, and we will conclude next week with “Culture,” and how to develop that winning culture where people are not only eager to join us but will also want to stay Michael Norton with us.

And thank you all for the email messages, your feedback is always appreciated. Many of you have mentioned a few other “C’s” that should have been included, and yes, I could have easily made this a 10-part series by adding communication, creativity, crosstraining, compelling, caring, compensation, and many others that many of you had suggested.

All great words for sure, and I will do my best to incorporate them in a future column.

When I settled on the 5 C’s, consistency was important because when we reviewed data and sur-

vey results for the reasons people were leaving their position, a “lack of consistency” was cited as one of the challenges they faced.

When I asked for some more detail about that lack of consistency, there were a few areas worth mentioning to help us as business owners and leaders to avoid the same mistakes associated with inconsistencies.

The biggest area of concern was around the lack of consistency in what is said, written on the walls, and published on the company website when it comes to mission, vision, purpose and values. Many exiting employees felt like these words were nothing more than a sales pitch to attract people, appease current employees, and create a public image that sounds good. Sadly, they reported that what was publicly stated was often not lived out by senior leadership, management or ownership of the company.

The second challenge with inconsistency had to do with fairness. We all know by now that no matter how hard we try, there are no secrets anymore. Seems that regardless of sensitivity, personal information such as compensation, consequences, promotions, extra perks, the overall treatment

of team members, the perception is that relationships and unique one-off situations create an environment for team members to question fairness.

The third issue raised by a lack of consistency surrounds goals and objectives. Not only were the goals and objectives constantly changing, but the messaging around expectations was also seen as inconsistent. When we can’t communicate clearly defined goals and objectives, set proper expectations and then inspect what we expect, it is easy to see why our team members get frustrated enough to leave.

Top-performing organizations and businesses of all sizes who make the mission, vision, purpose and values abundantly clear, and then make sure they are lived out, will have a much greater chance of keeping personnel at every level. When we live and work by our values, being fair becomes so much easier. There are times when difficult decisions must be made, and there are times when we need to be firm as leaders, and when we can demonstrate consistency in being firm but fair, this will also help us retain top talent.

We are living in times of incred-

ible change and uncertainty. This means we must be consistent and clear in articulating expectations and how what we all do, every role in the business, works toward the overall objectives of the company.

In times of change goals may shift, and that’s OK if we consistently let everyone know the “why” behind the change and how that changes the expectations of each team member.

If we want to attract and keep tremendously amazing people, let’s remember what author and motivational speaking legend Zig Ziglar said when he shared that the secret to success is “persistent consistency.”

How would your team rate your business when it comes to consistency in living out the mission and vision, treating everyone fairly, and when setting objectives? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com, and when we can live and work with persistent consistency, it really will be a better than good year.

maybe 40 feet above the ground, that the laws of physics would be temporarily suspended, and you could jete and pirouette for minutes on end, creating a spectacle of dance that the world has never seen before.”

“Wait. You lost me at ‘30 or 40 feet above the ground.’”

“Oh, it would be completely safe.”

“I’ll be in some kind of harness, or something, right?”

“Well, no, not really. The way I see it, you can hang on to the, the, rope thing by one hand. Because you’ll need your other hand to interact with the other dancer…” “’Other’ dancer?! And we’re still, what, 30 feet above the ground?”

“Yeah. And you should see my ideas for the costumes…”

I imagine, as a dancer, I would tell that man to buzz off. And yet, a whole troupe of them did *not* tell that man to buzz off, and the world has been graced with the spectacle

of Cirque de Soleil for a quarter of a century now.

One of my favorite aspects of travel is the opportunity to see things and experience things that you don’t get in the day to day life.

And, while I know Cirque tours and it’s possible to watch it occasionally here in Denver, it’s different when you see it in the theater that was specifically designed for it, in the setting (Treasure Island Casino) that invites the suspension of disbelief that is required of it, and in the place (Las Vegas) that, frankly, makes it seem not quite so strange.

And, the whole time I’m watching it, with my bride sitting next to me, all I can think is “who thought of this?!?” There is beautiful dancing, there’s comedy, there’s circus trapeze acts, there’s bizarre contortionists and wonderful (live) music. There’s a tiny thread of a story line that draws imagery from a Jungian night-

Some information on disinformation

D

isinformation has been around forever. In her book “Strongmen,” the author points out that the use of disinformation has empowered such tyrants as GUEST Mussolini, Hitler, COLUMNIST Berlusconi, and dozens more. We might ask how tyrannical strongmen fool their people into allowing their reigns of terror. I don’t want to make this a book report, but historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat outlines Jim Rohrer the strategies that fool citizens into being convinced that the leader is a noble person with patriotic motives. Their message often revolves around an “only I can fix it” theme.

The amount and depth of misinformation and its entwinement with the internet is concerning.

Every day we are bombarded with inaccurate information, alternative facts and outright lies. I have done a deep dive into this subject including the book “Trust Me, I’m Lying,” an account of how the world of manufactured disinformation works. The author, Ryan Holiday, shares his diabolical misadventures.

Let me start with some examples.

The book author tells how he promoted a movie. His first step was to personally vandalize a billboard he had created to promote the movie.

Next, he sent out pictures of the vandalized billboard with messages of outrage to several small blogs.

The bloggers repeated the outrage and the fake story got bigger. He attached fake comments from made-up email addresses. Within two weeks, thousands of college

students protested the provocative movie. Foxnews.com wrote about the backlash and the New York Post wrote about the author. The Chicago Transit Authority banned advertisements of the movie. The Chicago Tribune and Washington Post ran negative editorials. The movie was now what everyone was talking about, and it all started with the acts of one media manipulator.

You might think this is a victimless crime. Do you remember Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who said he would burn the Koran? This began with a grainy video outside his church but ballooned in a similar fashion until the act resulted in the deaths of 11 U.N. staffers and Afghans. In this case innocent people died.

How do these things happen?

First, understand that there are millions of bloggers out there all trying to get paid. The paydays are small so the bloggers must produce volumes of stories to pay their bills. Think about the thousands of news stories you see online every day. You may use a news aggregator like SmartNews, Yahoo News, NewsBreak and many more. They provide a never-ending collection of news stories available to you.

They have beautiful pictures and provocative titles which often overstate or outright distort what’s promised in the title. Embedded in the article are ads. It’s these ads that generate revenue. If I click on an embedded ad, money flows to the blogger. As you have probably noticed, the design is such that you may inadvertently click on an ad, thus the name clickbait.

I have a friend who is a writer. She has done her share of writing for a fee by creating blogs. It usually starts with blogs that are created

Companies like the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today all have reputations as respected news sources. They hire college-trained journalists who are expected to follow reporting

and fact-checking standards honed over many years. In 2017 three CNN senior reporters were fired not because their story was wrong, but because they failed to follow the factchecking protocol. The small bloggers, where most content originates, have no journalism standards, and certainly no reputation to protect.

There is an incentive to produce more words, but none to check the facts within those words. Thus, the stories are often distorted or even baseless. As the stories are picked up by larger bloggers, more readers are exposed to the alternative facts produced by some nameless blogger.

LIFE

Standing straight: New treatments for an old problem New surgical techniques mean faster recovery for scoliosis patients

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bailee standing straight up with a corrected spine. She is able to participate in swimCOURTESY OF JANICE WHITE ming and gymnastics.

hornton’s Bailee White is a pretty typical sixth-grader who likes to swim and do gymnastics. Thanks to some new personalized treatments, she has a pretty good shot at continuing to get to enjoy both for the rest of her life.

Bailee was born with scoliosis and had been in and out of Denver’s Children’s Hospital since she was born. Her pediatrician noticed something was off and recommended Bailee’s parents consult with the orthopedic department.

She was diagnosed with scoliosis – an abnormal sideways curving of the spine – before she could walk, but early on Janice White, Bailee’s mom knew she didn’t want to put her daughter in a back brace.

“We decided once she was 11-years old we were going to do surgery. We were all excited, and Bailee was excited to have it done, too, before she went into middle school,” Janice said.

Bailee had her surgery on May 11 this year. She was back up on her feet and walking within a few hours and, a few weeks later, she was doing her favorite activities – including backbends.

“They discharged her with no restrictions. As soon as we went home, I had a checklist of the types of stretches she could do to get herself back to normal. Because she’s a child, they heal so fast and they’re so active, they do not give them any restrictions on bending,” Janice said.

The quick turnaround was due to some new methods, according to Children’s Hospital Pediatric and Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon Dr. Sumeet Garg.

“We used a brand-new technology, customizing rods for Bailee’s scoliosis, (which is) a three-dimensional curvature of the spine,

“ Garg said. “It’s an abnormal twisting or curvature. Sometimes they are born with it, but most commonly it’s developed during the adolescent years.”

Garg, who came to Children’s from St. Louis, has been a pediatric spine surgeon since 2010, said doctors are unsure just what triggers scoliosis in adolescence.

“Most kids who develop in adolescence, we don’t know why it happened,” Garg said. “There’s a word called ‘idiopathic’. It’s a kind of a generic word that is used for a lot of medical diseases. It means no known cause, so it’s called Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.”

But they do know that it’s best to treat children, and the younger the better. Left alone, it can be disabling to an adult.

“The reason we treat children when they’re younger is that with anything in medicine, younger kids recover faster, “ Garg said.

“They have fewer complications or problems with surgery, we can get them straighter and back to a normal alignment much better than adults. Which is why when the curves get big enough, it’s recommended to treat them.”

Preparation versus intuition The basic type of spinal surgery has been done since the 1950s but there has been a lot of development in recent years that make it safer, with better results and quicker recovery, Garg said.

“In the past, when taking care of these kids in the operating room, the metal rod that you use to realign the spine was one long rod,” Garg said. “So while in surgery they would make measurements of the area, cut the metal rods, and use metal benders to bend it into the shape to fit the patient. The doctor had to use judgment on the length and bends of the rod. It’s how it was done for years.”

But the basic methodology changed in 2020. Doctors now use a computerized simulation based on their patient’s x-rays to simulate the correction of the spine ahead of the surgery. They can create a model of what the spine should SEE SCOLIOSIS, P17

Fan Expo Denver reunites fandoms for fun COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

When it was announced back in December that Pop Culture Classroom was cancelling the 2021 Denver Pop Culture Con, it appeared that it was going to be two full years before fans of all things comics, science fiction and fantasy were able to get together. But like Thanos himself once said, fandom is inevitable.

Now, Fan Expo Denver: Special Edition is here, thanks to a partnership with Pop Cultural Classroom, an organization that uses pop culture to increase educational opportunities, inclusivity and diversity, and Fan Expo HQ, the largest comic con producer in the country.

“We’ve all stayed inside, supported our

healthcare heroes, and done our part to keep our communities safe, and now, we’re thrilled to finally come back together, stronger than ever,” said Adam Kullberg, interim Executive Director of Pop Culture Classroom, in a provided statement. “Fan Expo Denver: Denver will give our community a chance to come together and celebrate creativity and pop culture in ways we haven’t been able to for a while. We’re overjoyed to be able to bring that connection back to Denver this October.”

I’ve gathered what you need to know about the event to ensure you have a safe and fun time: The basics:

Fan Expo Denver will from Friday, Oct. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 31 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St. in Denver.

The event is open from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The event will be 75 percent of the size of the normal event, but will still include vendors and artisans, workshops and panels and celebrity and creative guests.

look like and what the ideal rod would be to hold that three-dimensionally improved shape.

“So instead of having to cut and bend the rod in surgery the metal is forged into that specific shape and length,” Garg said. “So in surgery, when it’s time to place that rod to straighten the child’s back, you already have it planned out (how) to pull the spine to the rod to get a three-dimensionally appropriate correction.”

Preparation beats intuition, Garg added.

“I believe by pre-planning it, we can do a better job than just intuition, using our experience and guessing in surgery.”

The rods stay in place as the child grows and are designed to provide support lifelong.

The metal rod is meant to be tissue-specific, so the surgeon chooses between two different metals, titanium, and a cobalt chrome alloy. How patients’ scoliosis presents and what the surgeon expects to determine what metals get used.

“With a lot of medicine, and

Tickets for the 21-and-older event include a pumpkin, Jack-o-Lantern carving tools and one seasonal cocktail. Those in attendance can practice the holiday ritual of adding some personality to their pumpkins, enjoy the atmosphere and meet some new people. Reserve a spot at https://unionstationindenver.com/

Avoiding back pain Without surgery, Bailee’s curve would have continued to worsen as

she got older, even into adulthood, Garg said. Adults who have scoliosis often suffer from back pain as the curvature becomes bigger and more visually apparent.

“Their shoulders will be uneven and may develop a hump in their back, “ Garg said. “They lose selfconfidence and self-esteem. When you put those two reasons with the progressive deformity and the progressive pain – its the main reasons that families may choose to have surgery as a teenager adolescent.”

Bailee is in the sixth grade now and her favorite subjects are art and science.

“When I grow up I want to be a nurse,” she said.

“The best part about these efforts in terms of research and innovation, we are seeing our kids get back to sports quicker because it’s a big deal to have a surgery like this. It’s rewarding to see them recover and get through the hard times after surgery, but within a few weeks,” said Garg.

“The families don’t have to worry anymore, it’s a sense of relief for the families. It’s joyous to see them succeeding, excelling whether its athletics, school, arts, or drama, whatever they enjoy doing, we just want to get them back to that.” event/carving-cocktails-2021/.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Dr. Dog at the Ogden Theatre Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog are the kind of indie rock band that owe as much to The Band as they do alt-rock legends Pavement. The group has been together for around 20 years but recently announced that they’re not going to be touring anymore - that doesn’t mean they’re breaking up or stopping live performances. Its just not going to be tours that take them all over the country and world anymore.

With that in mind, you really shouldn’t miss their Last Tour stop at the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 24. This will be a great venue for their blend of folk rock and garage influences and I’m sure it’ll be an emotional farewell to life on the road.

Two spooky-season stories of getting over the hill

T

oday is my birthday. I was born on Oct. 21, 1959 in Denver. That makes me 62 years old as of today. That means I am coming up on the 62nd AnniverAVENUE sary of my first exFLASHES perience in Golden.

It happened a few days after I was born when my parents were driving me home from the hospital. That was the day that my happy Father forgot to check the gas gauge on his car in John Akal all the excitement of bringing his new son home and ran out of gas on Hwy. 6 just before he got up the hill to 19th Street. If he’d made it a few yards further he could have coasted all the way down to the house. Unfortunately, he had to walk to the closest gas station, which was on the corner of Jackson Street and huff back up the hill with a gas can. Yeah, my Mom never let him forget that incident. Leaving her sitting in the car with a newborn by the side of a highway.

This explains why I seem to have a never ending number of crazy

stories about things that happened here in town. My first day home started out with one, and it has been like that ever since.

As you may have noticed, my Birthday falls 10 days before Halloween, so I have always associated the two events together. That’s why October is always special to me. Now, 10 days from a holiday is one thing, but my Mom’s birthday was actually December 25, Christmas Day and my Grandmother’s was November 1, All Saints Day. My Mother-in law’s birthday was April 15, Tax Day. Now I don’t feel so special.

Oh well. Let’s get back to Halloween. Yeah, it’s coming soon.

You can tell it’s about a week away because all of the Halloween stuff in the stores is already almost sold out. If you get a last minute invitation to a costume party, you better try and throw something together with whatever you already have in your closet because it’s going to be slim pickings in every place except a dedicated costume shop from here on out.

This year you have an extra planning hiccup to take into consideration. Oct. 31, the actual Halloween day, falls on a Sunday. That means that pretty much every bar and nightclub in the area will be having

their big party, costume contest or whatever on Saturday, the day before Halloween. But, that doesn’t mean that the whole holiday has moved back a day. If you are planning on taking the kids through the neighborhood for Trick-or-Treating, that’s still supposed to happen on Sunday.

Now, if you recall, last year Halloween actually did fall on a Saturday. Of course we were all under some kind of quarantine, so most of the events were canceled, but on the years when that happens, you also have to remember that the end of daylight Savings Time comes at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. This year you won’t have to worry about that. Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 7.

You better get a pencil and write all this stuff down. There might be a quiz later.

As I explained earlier, I’ve always associated my birthday and Halloween together and totally gotten into the whole spooky All Hallows Eve vibe, but I do realize that not everyone has chosen Gomez Addams as their role model. For those of you who would like to do something healthier on Halloween than pretending you just came back from the dead, I have an event for you.

As most of you know, Golden is

the home base for a lot of serious bicycle riders and enthusiasts and if you happen to consider yourself an intermediate to advanced cyclist you may want to check out the Lariat Loop Halloween Hill Climb and Brews event. It’s going to take place 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31 and promises to be a rite of passage that will have your thighs screaming like a banshee. See that mountain over there with the big “M” on it?

That’s what your going to climb on your bike. But, once you go up, you get to come down and the zooming descent is worth the effort. They’ll be capping it all off with a beer at Mountain Toad Brewery.

This event is free to attend, but you should register ahead of time.

Just go to www.eventbrite.com, type “Lariat” in the search field and it will pop up with all the info. Just make sure to bring a helmet and plenty of water. It’s not a ride for zombies. Or is it? Hmmm…

Tax and estate plan deadline coming soon

I

t is never fun to think about taxes and even estate planning, but looming deadlines should push you to pay attention before it is too late. This FINANCIAL December marks the last opporSTRATEGIES tunity to impact your income taxes for the year and potentially your estate taxes for your heirs.

Let’s tackle income taxes first.

You have eight to maybe 10 payPatricia Kummer checks left for the year. Check and make sure you are maximizing your 401(k) contributions. Also, see if you are eligible to contribute to an after-tax account in addition to your employee salary

deferral. This may allow you to exercise the backdoor Roth when you take funds out.

The backdoor Roth is under fire in one of the proposed tax bills. This is where an employee can overfund their 401(k) by first maximizing their pre-tax or Roth contribution and then volunteering to put additional funds into an after-tax account within the 401(k) plan. Then when you roll over those assets, the after-tax contributions can roll directly into a Roth IRA. You will need to leave the earnings in the pre-tax portion, as those have not yet been taxed.

Several proposals on Capitol Hill are targeting to eliminate this opportunity for workers to push more assets into a tax-free account through the rollover to a Roth IRA. Therefore, we would encourage as

many people as possible to utilize this planning opportunity before it disappears.

The name of the game is to keep as many tax-free dollars as possible in your pocket. Therefore, the concern that income tax brackets may rise is also good reason to do as much tax planning before yearend as possible. This could include purposely realizing capital gains, while we still have a reduced longterm tax rate, or taking additional income, including Roth conversions, to use up your tax brackets before they increase.

Estate taxes and the current estate exemption of $11.7 million per person is also under scrutiny.

We already know that beginning in 2026, the estate exemption will drop to $5.49 million (with inflation) if it is not changed before then.

There are current bills that include reducing the estate exemption to $3.5 million, which would capture a large majority of the middle-class baby boomers who are planning for retirement.

Update your estate plan before year-end to make sure your plan captures the maximum estate exemption you are allowed before it drops.

You may be eligible to transfer assets to heirs through a completed gift trust, family limited partnership or other vehicles designed to keep assets from being taxed upon your death, including charitable donations or trusts.

Owning more than one property, a business or having stock options are all good things to watch out for if the estate exemption declines.

Center for the Arts Evergreen is hosting the 48th annual Rocky Mountain National Watermedia exhibition through Oct. 30 at the gallery, 31880 Rocky Village Drive. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. tain National Watermedia exhibition at Center for the Arts Evergreen. The show will be displayed until Oct. 30.

The Dr. David Schnarch Memorial Award for the best of show along with a $2,500 prize went to Jacqueline Dorsey of Athens, Georgia, for her watercolor “Unraveled.”

Dorsey said of the painting: “My painting, `Unraveled,’ was inspired by the 2020 election and the ongoing political and social divide in America. … I felt (the model’s) posture and somber look captured the surprisingly tenuous nature of our democracy and my own angst at the time. The stars subtly flying off the flag signify our country’s divide.”

Morehouse said she wanted to do something to honor Schnarch’s memory in a meaningful way, and this was a good way to do it.

CAE officials said Morehouse had been integral in making CAE what it is today by serving on the board of directors and volunteering at CAE events, and Schnarch, wanting to support his wife, got involved in smaller but meaningful ways. For example, he helped with parking at CAE events such as Summerfest.

This show, in its fourth year at CAE, has generated a lot of enthusiasm among the community, and CAE has been able to do outreach through gallery tours with student and adult groups, and Griggs taught special watercolor classes.

“Every year this show is such a beautiful show,” Miller said “We felt like the caliber of work this year, in particular, was off the charts. Artists were creating in the midst of COVID, and it went beyond cultural diversity and quality of work.”

We’re local ER docs. Help us end the pandemic

Y

ou trust us 24/7/365 to take care of you in emergency departments throughout Colorado. We have been treating COVID-19 for more than 20 months, never GUEST missing a day of work, except for COLUMN illness.

We continue to work tirelessly to save lives and advocate for you, our patients, but we and our colleagues are exhausted and our hospitals are overflowing.

Dr. Rebecca We need your Kornas, Dr. Jasmeet help.

COVID-19 vacDhaliwal, Dr. Kristen cines don’t work?

Nordenholz, Dr. False.

Vaccines protect Kevin Merrell, Dr. against infection, Comilla Sasson hospitalization and, most importantly, death from COVID-19. Please get vaccinated, ASAP. Unvaccinated patients tell us they chose not to get vaccinated because they didn’t believe they could get sick. However, we are seeing people every day, including the young and otherwise healthy, become critically ill and even die from COVID-19.

Colorado hospitals report that 81% of currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated and there are zero Coloradans hospitalized for vaccine side-effects. The

hospitalization rate from COVID-19 is about four times higher in unvaccinated vs. vaccinated (726 vs. 168 per 100,000 cases). The death rate from COVID-19 is about six times higher for the unvaccinated vs vaccinated (47 vs. 8.1 per 1 million cases).

If I’m pregnant, should I get the COVID-19 vaccine? Yes. The CDC formally recommended COVID-19 vaccination to women “who are pregnant, recently pregnant (including those who are lactating), who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future.” In this group, the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks.

As of Sept. 27, more than 125,000 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported in pregnant people, including more than 22,000 hospitalized cases and 161 deaths. Of the pregnant women hospitalized with COVID-19, 97% of them were unvaccinated. Getting vaccinated protects children (unborn, breastfeeding and all under 12), who cannot yet receive the vaccine.

Are vaccines dangerous? No. Vaccines are much safer than COVID-19 infection. There are rare side effects in a very small number of patients. However, getting COVID-19 can make you very sick, and you might even die. Even if you don’t die, you may develop lifelong symptoms.

Do you need help?

If you have fallen behind on your home energy bills, help is available today. Please apply to the Colorado State LEAP Program or to the Energy Outreach Colorado Bill Payment Assistance Program.

Learn more at www.energyoutreach.org/programs or call 1-866-432-8435.

If I have had COVID-19, should I still get the vaccine? Yes. Unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus.

Vaccines also provide longer-lasting immunity. Lastly, the vaccines have been shown to protect people against the currently circulating types of the virus, called variants.

Natural infection may not offer the same protection.

Can you get COVID-19 twice? Yes. Your body’s immune system response to COVID-19 is highly variable, so you can get it twice.

That’s also why different people can have such different symptoms from the virus. We do know that getting vaccinated after an infection means you are much less likely to get infected twice.

Do the vaccines protect against long-haul COVID-19? Yes. About a third of COVID-19 cases may have ongoing symptoms that last months, a situation known as “long- haul COVID.” But this is extremely rare in the vaccinated. Research shows that 30-40% of people with long-haul COVID symptoms, such as brain fog, persistent shortness of breath or stomach issues, improve after receiving a COVID vaccine, which may be the vaccine helping the immune system fight the remaining virus.

Can getting the COVID-19 vaccine protect against the emergence of new

variants? Yes. This is one of the most important aspects of immunization. Immunization protects against the development of new variants, because the virus is not given the chance to mutate and evolve when it jumps from person to person.

We, your emergency physicians, were among the first in Colorado to be immunized, and many have already had our third vaccinations.

Help us end this pandemic. Help us by protecting yourself, your loved ones and your neighbors by getting vaccinated.

Jeffco Public Libraries opens holds locker in Candelas STAFF REPORT

Bookworms in northwest Arvada will have an easier time accessing Jefferson County Public Library materials going forward, as JCPL opened a Holds Locker and Returns Bin outside the Candelas Swim and Fitness Club at Parkview on October 13.

Library members may place online holds for books, DVDs and CDs in JCPL’s library and pick them up within three days of the order being placed. Users may then return their items to the Returns Bin or any JCPL location anytime. The Holds ,Locker and Returns Bin are open 24/7.

The service is part of an ongoing effort by JCPL to improve access to library materials in places where branches might require a bit of a drive. There are standalone JCPL Holds Lockers in Littleton and Conifer, as well as outside the Belmar, Columbine and Standley Lake JCPL branches.

JCPL’s Library to You programs, which oversee Holds Lockers, the Bookmobile and Lending Machine, said her team had identified the

Candelas location as an ideal spot for a Holds Locker because of its proximity to Highway 72.

“JCPL and Library to You are always on the lookout to find patrons who have barriers in finding materials and bridge those gaps,” said Duran. “Holds Lockers are a great way to address those needs. The Swim & Fitness Club at Candelas Parkview is a main thoroughfare to the Coal Creek Canyon community right off Highway 72.”

Duran added that JCPL will be looking to add more Holds Lockers in the future.

“We are continually looking at other places in the county that could benefit from a Holds Locker, and are planning to have more in the future,” Duran said.

To reserve a book at the Candelas Holds Locker, select “Candelas Parkview Holds Locker” when making an online or phone request.

JCPL will notify users when their hold is ready for pickup.

A second life for lost luggage at DIA Airport donates forgotten bags to Denver Rescue Mission

BY AMANDA HORVATH ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Denver International Airport handles a massive amount of luggage every year. In 2019, the last full year before the COVID-19 pandemic, 69 million passengers traveled through the airport with bags in tow. Some of those travelers left their empty bags behind.

Sometimes people will throw away their luggage because they want to consolidate their things to save on baggage fees. Or, maybe a wheel or zipper breaks and they leave a suitcase at the airport.

DIA collects whatever is left behind.

“Once we find that luggage that is clearly being abandoned — being set next to a trash can — we don’t want that just to be thrown away in a central landfill, especially when there is ... a higher and better purpose that it can go to,” said Scott Morrissey, vice president of sustainability for DIA. Enter Denver Rescue Mission.

The nonprofit organization works to create change in the lives of people experiencing homelessness in Denver. Part of its mission

LUGGAGE FROM PAGE 24

Ministry Outreach Center.

At the center, the abandoned pieces of luggage get a new purpose. About every month or so, Denver Rescue Mission picks up a batch of empty suitcases and bags from DIA to distribute to the unhoused community it serves.

“For many people in the homeless community they have very few belongings,” said Ludema.

“And so if you’re walking around and trying to get back on your feet, having something to store your possessions in is really important.”

This particular partnership with a focus on luggage donations between DIA and Denver Rescue Mission started about three years ago. In 2018, Morrissey said the airport donated 835 pieces of luggage, and in 2019, it gave 719 pieces.

Morrissey does say in 2020, that number was much lower, likely because the number of passengers who went through DIA dropped significantly due to COVID-19.

“Not a huge amount in the context of 69 million passengers.

But they are bags that can go and have a second life and support the clients of the Denver Rescue Mission,” said Morrissey.

So far in 2021 donations are still lower than at the start of the partnership, again with passenger numbers not quite at where they

were pre-pandemic. But any donation can make a big difference in a person’s life. “[It is] a need that we don’t often think of. We think of food, clothing, the essentials, but something to carry that in is critically important. So it is a need that is expressed often,” said Ludema.

And that need has grown even more in just the last year. The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative conducts a “Point in Time Count” to determine how many people are experiencing homelessness in the Denver area. This year’s count found the number of people experiencing homelessness for the first time doubled from 2020 to 2021.

“I think anyone who has worked with the homeless community here in Denver has seen the need increase for more resources, for more items just overall,” said Ludema. “It seems like we need to find a better way to help our homeless brothers and sisters in need.”

It seems now more than ever nonprofits like Denver Rescue Mission could use the help.

Thankfully, Ludema says this luggage donation partnership is just one of many beneficial partnerships. Most major grocery store chains in Colorado donate leftover food, several food banks help out regularly, and different individu-

als or companies often come to Denver Rescue Mission with donations.

“There’s just probably hundreds of companies that may do drives every single year or twice a year, and may say, ‘Hey, we want to get our company together and collect coats, or we want to collect hygiene products, or what is it that you need us to collect?’” said Ludema, “I’m really blown away by people’s generosity to help.”

And that’s exactly how the relationship with DIA started. At first, it was donations of unused food from the airline flight kitchens as well as some food and beverage concessions. Then it grew into this new baggage partnership.

“You can have those conversations in real time to say, you know, `We have this product, is it something that can be beneficial to people?’ And they [Denver Rescue Mission] understand what those needs are,” said Morrissey. “It’s really important for us to find those opportunities to positively contribute to the community.”

“Just all across America in our world, there’s so many problems,” said Ludema. “And so to experience generosity firsthand, and to see people really are willing to give and help is certainly very encouraging.”

Spiders: It’s that time of year Common spiders that sneak into your home and how to deal with them

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This time of year, eight-legged creatures can take a crisp fall breeze as an open invitation into our homes.

James Fiala, owner of Environmental Pest Control, sees people dealing with spiders indoors during this time of year.

“All spiders are going to try to get in. They try to overwinter is what they do,” he said.

Fiala has some tips for unwelcome guests in your home as it gets colder.

“Vacuum cleaners are very powerful pest control tools,” he said.

He recommends vacuuming around the edges of your house and avoid storing things right by entry doors.

“I always tell people: Minimize what you have by the foundation of the house, clear out the window wells of your house. Window wells are chronic for spiders, by the way.”

Fiala says now is a great time to clean out your window wells, which you should be doing twice a year.

They can serve as breeding grounds and hospitable habitats for spiders trying to overwinter in your home.

He also says caulking, sealing and

Take a spin through this list of a few common spiders that could sneak into your house this fall.

Funnel weaver spiders Funnel weaver spiders are the most common spiders found in Colorado homes this time of the year. These spiders are harmless to humans but resemble the brown recluse, which does not naturally occur in Colorado. Funnel weaver spiders are darker brown and lack the characteristic “violin” shape that brown recluses have on their backs.

Ground spiders Ground spiders usually reside

under rocks or logs and only come out to hunt prey. When the weather turns cold, some species of ground spiders wander indoors. They are harmless to humans.

Wolf spiders Wolf spiders are gray and brown, and some species can get quite large and are mistaken for tarantulas. Wolf spiders may enter areas of new development that disturb their habitat but are generally shy around humans. Larger species may bite.

Widow spiders Widow spiders build their homes in dark undisturbed areas, like old animal burrows, window wells, cellars, garage corners and crawl SEE SPIDERS, P27

spaces. Red and orange markings on the underside of the abdomen is a physical characteristic of a widow spider. The widow spider has a painful bite, and it contains nerve venom, which can be dangerous.

Brown recluse spiders Brown Recluse spiders are rare in Colorado because of the climate. They can be found along the Mississippi Valley, and sometimes they hitch a ride on travelers into the state. The brown recluse has a characteristic “violin” marking on its back.

The spider’s venom is damaging to human cells.

This list is not all inclusive of the spiders in Colorado. To find more on common spiders in the area, CSU extension provides more information.

Widow spiders have red or red-orange markings on the underside of the abdomen; the pattern may appear as two triangles or an hourglass. Mature females are black, though younger spiders and males may have different coloration.

Doctors address myths about breast cancer COVID-19 vaccines have no link to disease

with a physician immediately, she said.

Besides being a symptom of breast cancer, Wynn said, nipple discharge can be a direct symptom of a brain tumor.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dr. Lisa Wynn said every year as she treats women, she always hears the list of misconceptions and myths that are not only tied to breast cancer, but also the screenings to detect the disease.

No matter what is out there on social media, Wynn, OB/GYN and service line chief for women’s services at UCHealth at the Highlands Ranch Hospital, said it is important that women get regular mammograms starting at the age of 40 and that any woman of any age who has unusual symptoms in the breasts should get a screening scheduled immediately through their regular-care physician.

Here are some myths and facts regarding breast cancer awareness: COVID-19 and breast cancer This year, besides having to address the common myths associated with breast cancer, Dr. Laura Hafertepen, a breast surgical oncologist with the Medical Center of Aurora, said COVID issues have popped up.

Wynn and Hafertepen said some women are under the misconception that getting the vaccination

can cause breast cancer. Both doctors said there is no evidence that is happening anywhere.

What is true, Hafertepen said, is that the vaccination can cause a woman’s lymphnodes to swell.

Wynn and Hafertepen said they both experienced swelling after getting the recommended vaccinations.

The expert female doctors said women should be vigilant in scheduling mammograms around getting vaccinations. Wynn said either get the mammogram before

getting the vaccination or schedule the annual screening a month after the shot.

Skipping screenings because of COVID Since early 2020, COVID misconceptions and concerns have caused an increase in women skipping regular breast cancer screenings and pap smears. Even as restrictions have eased, women have still been hesitant to get caught up on recommended screenings.

Wynn said while she is getting caught up with her regular patients, some have still missed appointments.

Wynn said screening clinics are some of the safest in the area with regular sanitizing and only the office staff and screening technicians in the room.

Wynn said getting recommended screenings is vital to catching breast cancer in the early stages.

Nipple discharge is not normal Wynn said a common misconception is that nipple discharge can be explained and not necessarily a symptom of breast cancer. Unless a woman is breast feeding, any kind of nipple discharge is not normal and should be discussed

Self-exam recommendations are evolving For decades, Wynn said, women were told to do the monthly selfexam to feel for lumps, masses or unusual changes inside the breast.

Now, Wynn said doctors promote more of a “breast awareness” approach.

Wynn said women should be vigilant in knowing their breasts.

Besides feeling for lumps, Wynn said it is important to keep tabs on a breast’s appearance. Unusual dimpling is a subtle breast cancer symptom, she said. Inverted nipples are a symptom.

Red patches or skin issues that look like an orange peel can also be a cause for concern.

There is not always a lump As Wynn stressed in being breast aware, lumps are not the only symptom of breast cancer.

Breast cancer symptoms can include bleeding from the nipple, a white nipple discharge or dimpling or change in shape of the outside of the breast.

In some instances, a lump is not present because the disease is in the early stages, which is why screenings are important in finding the issues that cannot be seen or felt in a regular self exam, Wynn said.

Family history isn’t all Over the years, women have been under the misconception that if breast cancer does not run in the family, they are not at risk of getting the disease.

On the contrary, doctors warn that anyone can get breast cancer, including those following a healthy diet and lifestyle and those who have not had any direct family ties to the disease.

Colo. kids fell behind on math during pandemic Decline means the state’s labor force may lack needed skills

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado students tumbled further behind in math as the pandemic closed schools and learning went largely virtual, according to a new analysis of this year’s state assessments results.

The report from the Keystone Policy Center, a nonprofit research group, found that math test scores plummeted for many students across the state, falling at an even faster rate than the state’s long-beleaguered literacy rate.

In the 4th grade, for example, only 28.5% of students met or exceeded grade-level expectations, down 5 percentage points from 33.6% in 2019, becoming “a real point of concern statewide,” the report noted.

Test results from this year also show that 35% of districts saw fewer than 20% of students meet or exceed expectations in math. By comparison, reading proficiency among fifth graders

fell roughly 1 percentage point to 47.2% during that period. And 12% of districts had less than 25% of students meeting or exceeding expectations in reading.

One Keystone center expert warned of a “learn-

ing loss” that could hobble students well into the future.

“I think the limited data we have sends a clear message,” said Berrick Abramson, senior policy director and director of the education program at

Keystone Policy Center. “We need to double down our efforts because we also know … a loss one year will be compounded as they move to the next level.”

Another of the organization’s policy experts sug-

gested students received less help with math at home than with reading — a concern when classrooms are occasionally shuttered because of coronavirus infections.

The review lcomes two months after the release of state data that showed the pandemic accelerated performance differences between white students and students of color.

The Keystone Policy Center also found that students in advanced grades are struggling understanding and retaining math skills. SAT results show that 44.2% of 11th graders met or exceeded expectations in math, with significant variation in students’ proficiency rates across districts.

Students across the country are facing similar struggles. Test results from the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP), an assessment conducted across states to gauge students’ achievement levels and understand their academic growth in math, reading, language and science, reveal that students on average were eight to 12 points behind in math.

MATH FROM PAGE 30

are performing worse than their older peers.

The decline in student math performance represents a fresh challenge at a time Colorado has been locked in a decadelong battle to bolster literacy rates, which also continue to lag.

Educators and policy experts recognize that uncertainty and stress from the pandemic contributed to students’ trouble learning. But they also emphasize the need to begin helping students overcome losses in math now, warning that students will only fall further behind in math as they move on to more advanced courses.

Students who lack math skills may be ill-equipped for the demands of future jobs, positioning the state to continue hiring workers from other states.

But schools can’t completely dial down their focus on literacy for the sake of boosting kids’ math skills, said Van Schoales, senior policy director at the Keystone Policy Center.

“I think we have to walk and chew gum at the same time,” Schoales said. “We have to get more kids to read, and we have to get more kids to perform and know math.”

The Keystone Policy Center analyzed data from across districts as well as achievement and district demographics. Participation rates for both CMAS tests and the SAT declined from 2019, diminishing the ability to draw conclusions from the

data, Abramson said.

Still, there are “enough consistent themes that we can draw inferences,” he said.

“I think that we have a crisis, and I think that the state broadly speaking and policymakers need to dig into more specifically what some of the root causes of these results are,” Schoales said.

Schoales offers one hypothesis as to why Colorado students are falling short in math compared to other subjects: Kids depend on schools to learn math more than literacy.

Schoales noted that it’s easier for students to find extra support for reading than math, with more out-of-school programs and summer programs geared toward reading.

He added that math is a subject many elementary school teachers say they find challenging to teach.

But on the bright side, he noted, “it may be easier to catch kids up.”

The math crisis is solvable, Schoales said, with many traditional and more creative ways to teach kids.

But it will take different approaches for different students, particularly for students from low-income families. The data generally shows that those students are coming up short compared to more affluent peers, and the achievement gaps have grown.

When helping those students in particular improve their math skills, teachers will have to first prioritize their mental and emotional wellbeing, Schoales said.

If students aren’t excited to be at school, aren’t well fed and lack confidence, he said, “it’s really hard to

get kids to learn, and it’s really hard to get kids to learn math, which is inherently for a lot of kids not something they want to take on.”

The setback in students’ math performance doesn’t surprise Melissa Colsman, associate commissioner of student learning for the state education department.

Colsman said that gaps in math are one of many issues exacerbated by the pandemic. “A workforce gap” in math teachers, math interventionists and tutors hasn’t helped either, she said, noting that a state education department survey in July showed that more than 75 of Colorado’s 178 school districts had openings for math teachers in grades 6-12.

“Without having a qualified math teacher, it’s really hard for kids to make strides in mathematics,” Colsman said.

The state board of education wants to prioritize federal stimulus spending money to support students most impacted by the pandemic in grades 5-8, Colsman said. At the school level, educators must first assess whether students are meeting grade-level expectations and then split instructional time between helping students catch up while also making sure they stay on top of new coursework.

That’s an approach Jason Cianfrance will use this year at Legacy High School in Broomfield where he teaches math. He said math teachers will also need to be diligent about narrowing the scope of their lessons to include only what students need to know to move forward.

“Math is sort of unique in how it works and how it builds on itself,” Cianfrance said. “Every kid has different strengths and weaknesses.”

Some students can immediately understand a problem after watching how it’s solved. Other students need more one-on-one attention, and some learn best by talking with other students, he said.

“A lot of those things didn’t work as well in our first trial run of how to do online schooling,” Cianfrance said.

He anticipates that some students will continue to lag in math skills but stressed that kids and teachers need to focus on progress as much as they do on grades.

His focus: “Are we making progress and are we doing it in a way that’s reasonably fast considering all of the factors at play?”

If Colorado students continue to trail behind in math and lack basic skills, many jobs — including in-demand jobs in the trades — will simply be “out of reach” for them.

That will only create more challenges for the state’s economy, which already relies heavily on recruiting skilled workers from other states to fill high-tech jobs.

“For the most part,” Schoales said, “it’s masked our ability to prepare our own.”

Chatfield wins high-scoring thriller versus Golden

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Nine times?

Golden and Chatfield combined for nine first-half touchdowns in a key Class 4A Metro 1 League game Thursday night at the North Area Athletic Complex.

“I can’t ever remember a game like this,” Golden coach Jared Yannacito said of the conference game that finished with the Demons and Chargers scoring seven touchdowns each.

It was a little jump pass from Chatfield senior Jake Marschall to junior Cole Roybal on a 2-point conversion with 2:19 left in the fourth quarter that gave the Chargers the 50-49 upset victory over previously undefeated Golden.

“We couldn’t stop them,” Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin said about going for the 2-point conversion to give the Chargers their first lead of the game. “I told the guys if we scored on that drive we would go for two and they all embraced it. I knew what I wanted to call.”

Due to injuries at quarterback, Marschall has moved from running back to quarterback. The senior threw his first touchdown pass ever earlier in the high-scoring affair.

“He (Marschall) is the leader of this team and puts everyone on his back,” Chatfield junior Mason Lowe said. “He would play line if you asked him to. He is the heart and soul of our team.”

McGatlin didn’t hesitate to let the senior decide the game with his arm.

“I know my coaches believe in me and I know my teammates have my back,” Marschall said when asked if he was surprised McGatlin called a pass play on the 2-point conversion.

“At first I thought I overthrew it for sure, but then (Roybal) caught it and I almost started crying. I’ve never had the feeling in my life. It was awesome.”

Chatfield (6-2, 2-1 in league) sealed the victory with the second interception of the game by Lowe. The two-way playmaker for the Chargers had missed the previous five games with a broken foot.

Lowe picked off Golden junior quarterback Jazel Riley with 1:21 to give the Chargers the ball on their own 36-yard line. Chatfield got one more first down to run out the clock.

“The quarterback gave me that pick,” Lowe said. “I read his eyes.”

The win keeps Chatfield in the race for the league title. Chatfield will have its homecoming game next Friday night at Jeffco Stadium. The Chargers face Standley Lake before what will be a monster regular-season finale against cross-town rival and No. 2-ranked Dakota Ridge (8-0, 3-0).

“If we overlook Standley Lake they can upset us,” Marschall said.

“We learned that with Bear Creek and we aren’t going to make that mistake again.”

The Demons (7-1, 2-1) looked to be in good shape to stay undefeated taking a 28-13 lead early in the second quarter. Riley had a touchdown run

Stutzman and Reeburgh shine at Jeffco League Championships Conifer team dominates 4A

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Golden senior Bryce Reeburgh nears the finish line as teammates and Golden students look on Oct. 14 at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School. Reeburgh claimed the Class 4A boys individual title at the Jeffco League cross country championships. Conifer won the PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS individual title.

DENVER — One of the best female distant runners in the state looked like a sprinter at the start the girls cross country Class 5A Jeffco League championship race.

Pomona junior Emma Stutzman didn’t waste any time in taking an early lead as she dashed down the slight downhill of westbound Nassau Ave. in front of D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School on Oct. 14.

“I really wanted to take a fast mile out, kind of hang with it in the second mile and push myself in the third mile,” Stutzman said. “I was a little bit behind my goal time, but I essentially did what I wanted to do.”

What Stutzman did was win another individual conference title with a time of 17 minutes, 47.7 seconds. The junior was a full minute ahead of runner-up Chatfield sophomore Hannah Anderson. It was the largest margin of victory of the four individual varsity races.

The weather was a little dicey before the race with a rain/snow mix. However, the skies cleared just

before the start of the races.

“Running in the mud and the rain can always be fun,” Stutzman said.

“I wasn’t too worried about it. If anything I was worried about it being hot. We came here last week and it was pretty hot up here.”

Stutzman turns her attention to regionals next week. Pomona will run in the 5A Region 3 meet on Thursday, Oct. 21, at Broomfield County Commons Park. Then it will be likely off to the state meet Saturday, Oct. 30, at Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs where Stutzman will go head-tohead against Cherry Creek senior Riley Stewart.

“I definitely want to go for the three-peat,” Stutzman said of trying to win her third regional meet to qualify for state. “I definitely want to get in that top-5 at state, potentially top-2. I want to dominate the course with Riley.”

Stutzman finished third at state last Fall behind Stewart and Cherokee Trail’s Cameron McConnell.

Orediggers ranked #3

BY MINES ATHLETICS

Colorado School of Mines’ football team jumped up two spots to reach their highest national ranking in program history at #3 in this week’s AFCA Coaches’ Poll.

There was a major shake-up in the poll as #1 West Florida, #2 Northwest Missouri State, #6 Slippery Rock, #7 Grand Valley State, #8 Wingate, and #9 Henderson State all lost in Week 7. Ferris State jumped

up two spots to be the new #1 with Valdosta State at #2, with both splitting first-place votes. West Georgia is #4 and Cal (Pa.) is #5 behindMines, with West Florida settling at #6.

The Orediggers’ #5 ranking, which it had occupied the last four weeks as well as one week in 2004, was the program’s previous best. Mines is now 7-0 after defeating South Dakota Mines 44-24; the Orediggers visit Colorado Mesa this week.

CHSAA to start new playoff structure next year AURORA – For the Colorado High School Activities Association, the playoff structure is a case of “out with the old and in with a new version of the old.”

CHSAA’s board of directors won’t use CHSAA’s Ratings Performance Index as the sole means to choose playoff teams starting next year. Instead, the method will be a combination of CHSAA’s RPI numbers and ratings from MaxPreps. This applies to team sports: baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball and volleyball.

League champions and winners of district tournaments for smaller schools, such as Stargate School in Thornton and Fort Lupton High School, still earn automatic spots in their respective state tournaments.

Brad Cochi, director of digital media for CHSAA, said a committee survey found 83% in favor of what was called “a universal tournament capture system” to choose the field for all CHSAA sports. Of those, almost two-thirds preferred the combination of RPI and MaxPreps rankings.

“The genesis of this process began last year when we heard from sport committees and members of the association, who identified the need

to look at alternative methods to capture state tournaments,” CHSAA Board President Luke DeWolfe said in a statement. “Because this is a board policy, the board identified that the best avenue to do that would be to have a committee formed to look at some alternatives.”

Head-to-head record is the tiebreaker for any final postseason qualifying spots, Cochi said.

The present postseason criteria (CHSAA RPI rankings) continue through the end of this school year.

Cochi said the board did not take up the issue of seeding for postseason play, just the means to qualify.

“The seeding process will be addressed at a later date by sports committees and the CHSAA legislative council process,” Cochi said.

CHSAA board member Ernie Derrera, former athletic director at Frederick High School, said there was a desire in the state to look at how teams qualified for postseason play.

“There needed to be a way that we could find a process that most people thought was fair,” he said in a statement. “Once our committee got together, we started with the survey, and we examined that data. I think the group we had was an experienced group that all came in with open minds and looked at the survey for what it was.”

individual title with a time of 16:30.

He finished about a dozen seconds ahead of Chatfield junior Camden Law. On the 4A side, Golden senior Bryce Reeburgh took full advantage of the graduations of Green Mountain’s Grahm Tuohy-Gaydos and Conifer’s Zack Gacnik.

“Grahm and Zack were just ahead of me. I’ve kind of been sitting in their shadows for awhile,” Reeburgh said after winning the 4A individual boys race with a time of 15:49.6.

Conifer junior Patrick Doty finished second with a time of 15:58.6.

actually really fun,” Reeburgh said.

“Before the race it started snowing and raining so I put on a bunch of layers under my uniform. Then 10 minutes before the race I had to take it all off. It was a little stressful at the beginning, but it worked out fine.”

Reeburgh said his goal is to win at regionals next week. The Demons

head to Evergreen for the 4A Region 1 meet at Evergreen Memorial Park on Friday, Oct. 22, for the state qualifying meet.

“I’ve never had a really good state race,” Reeburgh said. “I’ve either just bombed it or been sick or injured. Just want to have a really good race there and hopefully take a top-3 position.”

Conifer claimed the 4A boys team title and Green Mountain won the 4A girls team championship with Conifer sophomore Audry VanWestrienen winning the individual title.

and a pair of touchdown passes to senior Tobias Trujillo in the first half. Golden sophomore Luc Chevalier had a pair of touchdown runs for the Demons before halftime.

Chatfield’s four first-half touchdowns were all on the ground.

Marschall and Lowe each found the end zone twice before halftime to keep pace with the Demons.

“Jake is the greatest kid you could ever coach. He is the most selfless kid,” McGatlin said. “I told him we were going to ride him this week. I told him he might carry the ball 40 times. Our offensive line was amazing tonight.”

The Chargers finally caught the Demons thanks to an impressive opening drive to start the second half. Marschall connected with Roybal for an 11-yard touchdown.

Marschall ran in a 2-point conversion to tie thing up 35-35 midway through the third quarter.

Golden answered with its sixth touchdown drive of the game. Chevalier scored his third touchdown of the game with a short touchdown run with 1:38 left in the third quarter. The Demons retook the

The scoring continued in the fourth quarter with the Demons and Chargers exchanging touchdowns, but with 2:19 left to play in the fourth quarter junior Sam Ayres scored on a full-back dive

from the 1-yard to set up the 2-point conversion as Chatfield went for the win.

“Hardwork beats everything. That has been our motto starting in the off-season,” Marschall said. “We never got scare or frazzled. We knew

what we had to do and went out and did it.”

Golden has a huge test in trying to bounce back next week against No. 2 Dakota Ridge. The Demons host the undefeated Eagles on Friday, Oct. 22, at NAAC. “I told the kids a loss is a lesson,” Yannacito said. “We either treat it as a loss or a lesson. There is a lot we can learn from this game.”
